The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3394: Sky-covering Demon Emperor! (First Update)

Meanwhile, within the Outer Realm's Dragon Valley.

Luminous strands of Yuhua Immortal Light saturated the entirety of the valley. At the heart of this domain, upon the surface of the Water Mirror Dragon Lake, the grand Yuhua Heavenly Palace stood with imposing grace. A majestic Immortal Light, punctuated by the faint echoes of cloud and thunder, rippled across the heavens and the earth.

Surrounding the Yuhua Palace, over ten thousand demonic dragons circled in flight. Their countenances were filled with reverence as they murmured low prayers, seemingly awaiting a monumental arrival.

Rumble!

At last, a phantom of a blood-red dragon surged from the palace. Its colossal form was vast enough to block out the sun, every single scale glinting with a vivid crimson radiance. This was none other than the Blood Dragon.

"Greetings, Emperor Lord!"

"May the Emperor Lord’s reign last for eternity! An avatar of civil and martial virtue, you shall unify the Universe!"

One after another, the demonic dragons lowered their heads in worship, their voices thick with devotion.

The Blood Dragon’s sharp gaze swept across the horizon, radiating an aura of absolute dominance and peerless majesty. Embedded in his forehead was a brilliant bead that pulsed with the essence of white clouds and thunder, constantly casting out a vast Emperor’s Light.

This was the renowned Hongmeng Treasure, the primal source of Heavenly Dragon Energy—the Cloud Thunder Emperor Dragon Pearl!

The Blood Dragon had finally succeeded in fully refining the Cloud Thunder Emperor Dragon Pearl. He had mastered its entire reservoir of energy and even caught a glimpse of the source of Dragon Qi, touching upon the profound mysteries of "origins."

Bolstered by the Great Yuan Qi, the Blood Dragon’s presence was now magnificent beyond compare, his power far exceeding his previous limits.

"All Heavens Dragon Clan, receive my decree! I am the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons. Upon witnessing my Talisman Decree, submit at once, or be struck down by the wrath of the Heavenly Dao!"

A resonant, heavenly sound erupted from the Blood Dragon’s throat. His body surged with Golden Light, coalescing into a Talisman Decree that shot into the sky. It pierced through the clouds and traversed the Ten Thousand Void, beginning its journey across the starry firmament to broadcast his will.

By refining the Emperor Dragon Ball and claiming the origin of Heavenly Dragon Energy, he had risen to the status of "Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons." His ambition extended beyond being the Emperor Lord of Dragon Valley; he sought to lead every dragon clan throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

Should he succeed in uniting all dragon lineages, his glory would surely eclipse the ages.

"The Emperor Lord’s divine power knows no equal! His mercy is boundless, and his radiance lights up the stars!"

The assembled demonic dragons broke into a celestial chant, their voices ringing with increasing fervor.

On a peak to the north of Dragon Valley, Mingyang Dragon Venerate watched the spectacle from a distance, his face darkening with a grim expression.

"Hmph, this Sin Dragon is truly reckless. To think he dares style himself the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons. Once the Upper Realm and Emperor Abyss Palace catch wind of this, let us see how you survive!"

Mingyang Dragon Venerate’s eyes were filled with shadows. The Blood Dragon’s arrogance was so extreme it was bound to alert the Upper Realm and Emperor Abyss Palace. If that happened, the entirety of Dragon Valley might face total destruction.

"Heh, this Mingyang Dragon Venerate is nothing but a timid coward; what use is there in sparing him?"

From his position in the sky, the Blood Dragon noticed Mingyang Dragon Venerate in the distance, a flash of contempt crossing his mind.

Having fully integrated the Emperor Dragon Ball, his Bloodline Energy was at its zenith, making his current Cultivation level grand and indomitable.

With his newfound strength, he could now perceive various karmas. He sensed that both the Upper Realm and Emperor Abyss Palace had recently suffered setbacks, their influence waning. This was the perfect window for his defiance against the heavens.

Thus, the Blood Dragon had dispatched his Talisman Decree through the Ten Thousand Void, intending to bring the All Heavens Dragon Clan under his banner as the "Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons."

Currently, his greatest enemies were preoccupied with their own crises and more pressing threats, leaving them unable to interfere with him. He had timed his rise perfectly.

Now, the only lingering concern was Mingyang Dragon Venerate.

"I have a pact for a final duel with him in one year, and the old restrictions are gone. This man surely has a hidden card up his sleeve; killing him might be more difficult than it looks."

The Blood Dragon’s expression shifted. During their previous clash, Mingyang Dragon Venerate had suppressed his own cultivation level to ensure a fair fight. Even then, the Blood Dragon had only managed a narrow victory by drawing upon Ye Chen’s limitless power.

When the actual decisive battle took place in a year, Mingyang Dragon Venerate would certainly not hold back. Unleashing his full power alongside any secret techniques, the Blood Dragon was not guaranteed a win.

If he were to fall, his title as the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons would be usurped. Furthermore, the foundation he was currently building through his decree across the stars would be claimed by Mingyang Dragon Venerate!

Because of this, losing the battle in a year was not an option.

Swish.

The Blood Dragon descended from the heavens, his form shifting into a man garbed in an Emperor Robe. He gripped an Emperor’s scepter, which now held the Emperor Dragon Ball at its head.

The previous scepter had been destroyed, but he had forged this new one using the Emperor Dragon Ball. This artifact was now his Lifebound Treasure, a symbol of his supreme command over the All Heavens Dragon Clan.

Should he fail in the upcoming duel, this scepter and the Emperor Dragon Ball would fall to Mingyang Dragon Venerate. Losing his Lifebound Treasure would mean certain death.

"The Emperor Lord’s martial prowess is unmatched! As the Talisman Decree reaches the world and the All Heavens Dragon Clan submits, Dragon Valley shall become their ultimate Holy Land!"

Elder You Yue of the South Lake, standing by the Blood Dragon’s side, was beaming with pride.

Historically, the demonic dragons were not the most prominent branch of the All Heavens Dragon Clan. However, with the Blood Dragon’s rise, Dragon Valley was poised to become the center of the dragon world, and the demonic dragons would take on a leadership role akin to a master Sect.

"As Emperor Lord, it is my responsibility to restore the glory of our bloodline. Do not worry; while I am here, neither the Upper Realm nor Emperor Abyss Palace will dare to look down on us."

The Blood Dragon gave a slight smile. Holding his scepter, his body pulsed with Emperor’s Light and traces of Great Yuan Qi. Flanked by You Yue and the dragon host, he walked out of Yuhua Palace at the peak of his prestige.

At that moment, every disciple of the South Lake Sect felt an overwhelming sense of honor.

In contrast, the North Lake Sect was plagued by internal friction. Many of its disciples secretly wished to surrender and accept the Blood Dragon’s authority. However, with the decisive battle still a year away, they dared not betray the North Lake Sect. Discovery by Mingyang Dragon Venerate would mean their immediate execution.

The Blood Dragon eventually dismissed his followers and walked alone toward a secluded, misty forest on the southern side of Dragon Valley.

The woods were thick with the smoke and fire of demonic qi. The rolling clouds of vapor echoed with the sounds of phantom armies—the neighing of horses, the rush of icy rivers, and the clashing of weaponry. It felt like standing in the middle of a chaotic battlefield.

Chaotic Blades carved through the air, shredding trees and splitting rocks in a display of violent grandeur. Wrapped in his Emperor’s Light, the Blood Dragon walked through the forest, the Heavenly Demon Wolf Smoke Blades unable to touch him.

He soon reached the center of the woods, where he found a man with sharp, heroic features. Enveloped in swirling demonic qi, the man sat cross-legged in silent cultivation.

This was the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Draped in a black robe, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor radiated a terrifying aura from the School of War. The air around him manifested scenes of ancient slaughter, accompanied by the thunder of war drums and the roar of a thousand armies. Faint strands of Hongmeng Aura continuously drifted from his dark garments.
