The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3399: Farewell, Demon Emperor!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Rumble, rumble!
The Qi Fortune of Martial God Mountain disintegrated entirely as the Slaughter Immortal Sword was pulled from its resting place. The surrounding landscape of forests and peaks collapsed into a desolate heap of debris.
Martial God Ming Gu watched this destruction unfold, his heart aching with every falling stone.
"Martial God, what should we do?"
A disciple asked, his voice trembling with fear.
"Report this to the Empress! Let her decide our path and grant us vengeance!"
Martial God Ming Gu’s eyes were crimson with rage, his voice thick with grief and fury.
The theft of the Slaughter Immortal Sword was more than a loss; it was the severing of Martial God Mountain's very lifeblood.
Lacking the strength to seek retribution himself, he could only turn to Xuan Jiyue, pleading for her intervention to settle the score.
This grudge transcended the personal interests of Martial God Mountain; it directly threatened Xuan Jiyue’s own authority!
After all, with the blood dragon claiming the title of "Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons," a new sovereign had risen in the world—an existence that neither the Upper Realm nor the Emperor Abyss Palace would ever tolerate.
By daring to seize such a title, the blood dragon had invited the catastrophic wrath of the Upper Realm and the Emperor Abyss Palace upon himself!
"What an intense killing intent!"
Elsewhere, the blood dragon examined the Slaughter Immortal Sword it had just claimed. Ancient symbols were etched into the blade, and the character "Ren" was visible near the hilt—likely a mark left by the original smith.
A terrifying aura of slaughter pulsed incessantly from the weapon.
One demonic dragon that drifted too close was instantly sliced apart by the sword’s radiating killing intent, its life extinguished as it plummeted from the sky.
The other dragons were paralyzed with terror at the sight, retreating to a safe distance and not daring to move closer.
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary Source Weapon; it is simply peerless."
The blood dragon felt a surge of inner apprehension. The killing aura of the Slaughter Immortal Sword was so potent that a mere leak of its power could butcher dragons and men alike, nearly defying the natural laws of the heavens.
"This blade is too tyrannical for me to control. Senior Demon Emperor, I entrust it to you."
With a flick of its claw, the blood dragon infused the sword with its will and sent it tearing through the void, hurtling toward a distant destination.
At that moment, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was traveling toward the Demon Suppression Hall.
Suddenly, a blade tip pierced through space, accompanied by a roaring killing intent so vast it felt as though ten thousand flying swords were descending upon him.
However, when he looked up, a single sword hung in the sky.
The fact that one blade could manifest a killing aura equal to thousands of swords was nearly beyond belief.
"So, it is the Slaughter Immortal Sword of the legendary 'Four Immortal Slaying Swords'!"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor was stunned. He reached out to grasp the hilt, feeling the staggering weight of the killing aura. Had he not already broken through to the Holy Ancestor Realm, the sword's mere presence might have ended his life.
"The blood dragon sent this to me."
Detecting the intent left upon the weapon, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor understood the situation.
A Source Weapon like the Slaughter Immortal Sword possessed a killing aura that was far too violent. Within the entire Divine Kingdom, only he, Xuanyuan Moxie, and Mo Xue Ming possessed the qualifications to handle such a blade.
"Heavenly Demon Wolf Smoke, Po Jun Battle Intent, submit to me!"
Fierce smoke and flames erupted from the Demon Emperor's palm, while his Po Jun Battle Emperor Robe surged with aggressive battle intent, combining to suppress the Slaughter Immortal Sword.
Gradually, the sword’s wild killing intent was reigned in, making it possible to use.
"The killing intent of this sword is far too heavy. Fortunately, my cultivation of the Military Fire Path from the School of War allows me to barely keep it in check."
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor exhaled in relief, fastening the sword to his waist.
His mastery of the Heavenly Demon Wolf Smoke Blade carried the ultimate killing aura of the School of War, which, when paired with the battle intent of his robe, harmonized perfectly with the Slaughter Immortal Sword.
It felt as though the weapon was custom-made for him. If he could master its infinite power, he felt certain he could defeat Mo Xue Ming.
However, he still felt uncertain about facing Xuanyuan Moxie, even with this sword fully refined.
Rumors suggested that Xuanyuan Moxie held another Source Weapon—the most powerful of the "Four Immortal Slaying Swords," the Immortal Slaying Sword itself, which possessed an even more supreme and terrifying aura of slaughter.
Against a powerhouse like Xuanyuan Moxie, a lone battle was futile. He would need to join forces with Ye Chen to storm the Heavenly Dao Palace and crush everything in their way.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor soon concealed his presence and continued tearing through the void toward the Demon Suppression Hall.
At the gates of the Demon Suppression Hall, a young man stood with his hands behind his back. He wore a calm smile, appearing to have anticipated the visitor's arrival.
"Senior Demon Emperor, it has been a long time."
This youth was, of course, Ye Chen.
He had sensed the significant Karma tied to the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s arrival and had been waiting for some time.
"You brat..."
Seeing Ye Chen again after so long, a genuine smile touched the Demon Emperor's lips.
"I hope you have been well."
"I hope you have been well."
The two men gripped their hands into fists and bumped them together firmly.
"How is your condition?"
Ye Chen’s gaze swept over the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. He saw a fractured martial foundation and a silver strand of hair on the man's forehead—the dire omen of the Heavenly Human Five Declines, signaling the end of his lifespan.
"It is nothing. I won't be dying just yet."
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor spoke dismissively, twirling the white lock of hair.
Ye Chen remained quiet, his Heavenly Eye scanning the layers of Karma.
He realized that the Demon Emperor’s accumulated sins had finally surged, proving nearly impossible to purge and leading to this current crisis.
Only the legendary Netherworld Water could fully cleanse such profound Karma and sin.
Since the fall of the Samsara Master in ancient times, Netherworld Water had vanished from the world, becoming an impossible treasure to find.
However, Ye Chen possessed the Netherworld Map.
What was a rare miracle to others was an endless resource in his hands; he had access to as much Netherworld Water as he required!
The fatal threat looming over the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was, in Ye Chen’s eyes, a minor issue that could be solved in a heartbeat.
Observing these Karmic threads, Ye Chen prepared to explain the situation to the Demon Emperor.
"I have come to deliver a message to you."
Before Ye Chen could speak, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor cut in, his face growing serious.
"What is the news?"
Ye Chen’s heart tightened as he asked.
"The Demon Emperor has recently vanished without a trace; no one knows his whereabouts. Your grudge with him is deep, and he certainly intends to kill you. With him missing, his schemes are unknown. You must remain on high alert."
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor warned him solemnly.
"The Demon Emperor has disappeared?"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed in surprise. Having killed the Son of the Demon Emperor, their enmity was absolute. A missing enemy was a hidden threat, likely plotting from the shadows.
This was troubling news.
Furthermore, he had no way of knowing what the Demon Emperor was currently preparing.
"Indeed, you must be careful."
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor nodded, then quietly passed a crystal stone to Ye Chen.
"Also, take this crystal. I obtained it when I wiped out the Po Jun Demon Sect. Its aura is quite strange and feels remarkably similar to your own. See what you make of it."
