The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3396: Perfected Merits (Third Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
"It is time to depart. We have both achieved breakthroughs today, which is a significant milestone. We should go back and pay a visit to that youngster, Ye Chen."
Standing up and looking toward the horizon, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor spoke. He was already aware that Ye Chen had founded the Demon Suppression Hall to fight the Heavenly Demon Great Tribulation and had taken the position of Hall Master.
He intended to travel to the Demon Suppression Hall alongside the blood dragon to reunite with Ye Chen.
"The Demon Emperor has vanished without a trace recently. This might be the quiet before a massive storm. We have to share this intelligence with the Master once we return to ensure he is alert to the peril."
A look of gravity crossed the blood dragon’s face. He had lately obtained reports that the Demon Emperor had disappeared, suggesting a hidden disaster was brewing.
Ye Chen was fully focused on preparing for the Heavenly Demon Great Tribulation.
The news regarding the Demon Emperor’s absence had to be delivered to him immediately.
"Indeed, let us move. It has been quite some time since I last saw that fellow, and I truly miss him. I heard he paid a visit to the Heavenly Dao Palace recently and actually made it out alive! I am curious to see how far his Cultivation has progressed if even Xuanyuan Moxie failed to kill him."
A faint smile played on the lips of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. He made the immediate choice to exit Dragon Valley with the blood dragon, intending to rip through the void to reach the Demon Suppression Hall.
"Hold on!"
The blood dragon’s expression shifted abruptly as he appeared to detect a specific ripple in karma.
"What has happened?"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor asked, his brow furrowing.
"There are signs of unrest coming from Martial God Mountain!"
Gripping his scepter firmly, the blood dragon frowned deeply as he sensed a looming threat.
"Martial God Mountain?"
For a moment, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was puzzled. As a Holy Land within the Outer Realm, Martial God Mountain usually remained detached from the world's conflicts. What could possibly be causing them to stir?
"Their target is the Master!"
The blood dragon spoke through gritted teeth, instantly making the connection. His karmic bond with Ye Chen was inseparable; whatever affected Ye Chen’s karma affected his own!
In that instant, he felt clearly that Martial God Ming Gu intended to move against Ye Chen directly.
This had to be prevented!
A murderous light flared in the blood dragon’s eyes. He was well aware that Martial God Ming Gu’s power far exceeded Ye Chen’s current level.
If Martial God Ming Gu launched an assault on the Demon Suppression Hall, Ye Chen would be in grave danger. Even if he survived the encounter, the Demon Suppression Hall's Foundation would be devastated, leaving them unable to withstand the coming demonic hordes.
"Do you plan to intervene?"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s expression grew grim: "The Cultivation level of Martial God Ming Gu is incredibly high. You might not be a match for him on your own. I shall go with you!"
Upon hearing those words, the blood dragon gestured for him to stop and said, "There is no need, Senior Demon Emperor. Do not fret over me. You must head to the Demon Suppression Hall first to inform the Master about the Demon Emperor’s disappearance. I can deal with Martial God Ming Gu myself!"
Finishing his sentence, the blood dragon’s form shifted, transforming into his draconic state as he took to the sky.
The Emperor’s scepter shifted into a beam of brilliant light, nesting within his body.
Soon after, a radiant pearl manifested upon his forehead; it was the Emperor Dragon Ball.
Waves of magnificent treasures began to pour out from the Emperor Dragon Ball without pause.
"Roar!"
The blood dragon let out a cry toward the heavens, the vibration of the Dragonslayer Sword echoing through the Nine Heavens, while the radiance of the Emperor Dragon Ball sliced through the void, broadcasting his presence far and wide.
The atmosphere instantly shifted as clouds swirled and thunder crashed repeatedly.
Across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, countless members of the dragon race sensed the blood dragon’s summons and tore through the void to gather.
White Dragons, Bone Dragons, Golden-eyed Dragons, Poison Dragons, and a multitude of other dragon spirits manifested from the void. They circled and soared, filling the sky and earth with a dominating dragon might that crushed everything in its path—a truly breathtaking sight.
"We greet the Emperor Lord!"
A chorus of Stellar Sword dragons chanted together, their behavior filled with profound respect.
It was clear now that the blood dragon was far from solitary; with just one shout, thousands of dragon spirits had assembled to honor him and obey his will.
Evidently, many members of the dragon race throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds had accepted the blood dragon’s Talisman Decree and sworn their loyalty. They had descended immediately upon hearing his call.
"Emperor Lord!"
Within Dragon Valley, You Yue heard the summons and came forth followed by tens of thousands of demonic dragons, forming a circle around the blood dragon.
Rumble!
The space between heaven and earth trembled under the terrifying roar of lightning.
The momentum of tens of thousands of demonic dragons combined with the endless Stellar Sword dragon shadows was so massive it shook the very fabric of the universe.
An army of dragons this magnificent could likely annihilate anything; no force in the Outer Realm could stand against them, save perhaps the Emperor Abyss Palace.
"Let us move! Follow me as we march upon Martial God Mountain!"
The blood dragon bellowed, leading the massive host of dragon spirits in an aggressive charge toward Martial God Mountain.
"You have truly changed, Little Dragon."
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor whispered to himself as he observed the dragons ascending to the sky. He remembered clearly when he first brought the blood dragon to the Outer Realm, back when the dragon's Cultivation was fragile and required protection. Now, the blood dragon had undergone a complete metamorphosis, rising as the "Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons," with a future that knew no bounds.
After a brief pause, he tore through the void alone, making his way to the Demon Suppression Hall.
In addition to the news of the Demon Emperor’s disappearance, he carried a unique gift for Ye Chen.
The tension was palpable inside Martial God Mountain.
Martial God Ming Gu stood with his hands clasped behind him, flanked by Ning Xuanhai and several other experts. The silence was heavy, and the air was thick with a chilling murderous intent.
"Move out! We strike the Demon Suppression Hall to claim justice!"
Martial God Ming Gu suddenly roared, his eyes flashing with lethal intent as he rose into the air.
"Strike the Demon Suppression Hall! Claim justice!"
Ning Xuanhai and a multitude of disciples shouted in response, flying into the sky and preparing to breach the void. However, the heavens suddenly shook with thunderous explosions that echoed across the Eight Desolates of the universe.
"Ha! You still dare to speak of justice? How shameless!"
The thunderous ring of a Dragonslayer Sword suddenly erupted.
Waves of dragon might rolled in from every direction without end.
In the following moment, a sea of dragon spirits appeared in the sky, their overwhelming presence blanketing the entirety of Martial God Mountain.
A blood-red dragon, projecting a crimson aura with a divine pearl set in its brow, descended accompanied by tens of thousands of demonic dragons and countless other dragon kin.
"The Emperor Dragon Ball! The Dragon Valley Emperor! The Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons!"
Martial God Ming Gu was stunned and filled with shock upon seeing the blood-red dragon, sensing an aura so majestic it rivaled his own power.
"Ming Gu, you old scoundrel, your followers have no honor and have surrendered to their own evil; what kind of justice are you trying to claim?"
The sound of the Dragonslayer Sword vibrated with immense power.
That blood-red dragon was, of course, the blood dragon.
He looked down upon Martial God Ming Gu from the sky, his voice like the Dragonslayer Sword echoing through the peaks and valleys, a sound so sharp it pierced ears and rattled souls.
The disciples of Martial God Mountain stared at the blood dragon and the endless shadows of the dragon race. They were paralyzed by shock, looking at one another in confusion, not understanding what was happening.
They had certainly heard the title of the Dragon Valley Emperor before.
The blood dragon’s Talisman Decree had reached across the stars, and the fame of the "Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons" had reached their ears as well.
