The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3402: The Miraculous Effects of Netherworld Water! (Third Update)

The seals placed upon the Netherworld River are incredibly formidable. Under normal circumstances, gaining access is nearly an impossibility for anyone who hasn't reached the Heavenly God Realm. Furthermore, the Netherworld Water possesses such immense weight that manipulating it is a feat beyond most cultivators below that stage.

Currently, Ye Chen has ascended to the Eighth Level of the Chaos Realm, still falling slightly short of the Heavenly God Realm threshold.

However, his recent advancement was far more significant than a simple breakthrough of barriers. By witnessing the ancient battlefield, experiencing the weight of millennia, and comprehending ancient karma, he triggered a profound awakening of his reincarnation bloodline. This was no ordinary increase in power; it was a transformation infused with the aura of reincarnation, granting him the strength required to command the Netherworld Water.

Stepping forward, Ye Chen once again approached the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

"Boy, did you... did you actually break through?"

The Demon Emperor stared at Ye Chen, his expression one of pure shock.

In less than thirty minutes, Ye Chen's cultivation aura had surged from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level of the Chaos Realm. Such speed was practically unheard of.

"Could that crystal stone I gave you be some kind of miraculous divine artifact that allows for instantaneous breakthroughs?"

The Demon Emperor found it hard to believe, having never expected Ye Chen to advance so rapidly.

"I was merely fortunate."

Ye Chen offered a faint smile but did not elaborate. The complexities of his past life's karma were too intricate to explain clearly, even if he felt inclined to do so.

"Senior Demon Emperor, please come with me. I want to show you a certain place," Ye Chen said with a serious expression.

"Where are we going?" the Demon Emperor asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Just follow me."

With a beckoning gesture, Ye Chen led the Demon Emperor into a cultivation chamber. After completely masking any aura fluctuations, he summoned the Netherworld Map.

Radiant layers of yellow light spilled from the Netherworld Map. As the mist shifted, it revealed a hidden world containing sprawling cities, towering mountains, ancient forests, and soaring beasts—a realm unto itself.

"This is... the Biluo Heaven and Hell Map!"

The Demon Emperor’s eyes widened. He knew this was the legendary magic treasure once belonging to the Lord of Reincarnation. He had heard rumors that it had fallen into the hands of Xuanyuan Moxie, but he never imagined it had already returned to its true master, Ye Chen.

Legends claimed a sacred river flowed within this map, filled with Netherworld Holy Water capable of purifying the ten thousand realms, cleansing all sins, and washing away the stains of karma.

The Demon Emperor's martial arts foundation was shattered, and his demonic sins ran too deep for even the Yuhua Heavenly Palace to heal. However, the Netherworld Holy Water possessed the power to thoroughly purge that demonic aura.

His ruined foundation could finally be restored!

"Let us enter," Ye Chen said with a slight smile, immediately bringing the Demon Emperor into the world contained within the map.

The interior was a picturesque sanctuary featuring blue skies and vibrant flora, far removed from the chaos of the outside world. It felt like a final bastion of peace within the vast cosmos.

A great river wound through the landscape, surrounded by swirling mist and a golden glow. This was the fabled Netherworld River.

Not far from the riverbanks, two figures sat in silent meditation, stabilizing their auras. They were Ye Lingtian and the You Ying Ghost Weasel.

Observing them from a distance, Ye Chen noted their steady breathing. It was clear they were recovering well and would likely be back to full strength after some time.

"Senior Demon Emperor, your karma is heavy and your foundation is broken to the point of being irreparable. Fortunately, I have recovered the Netherworld Map. It is the perfect tool to erase your karma and mend your foundation."

Ye Chen swept his hand forward, reincarnation patterns glowing in his palm. Under the weight of his power, the restrictions guarding the Netherworld River suddenly gave way with a loud crack.

"Boy, you have saved my life once again. I am truly in your debt."

The Demon Emperor smiled and, without further delay, descended toward the river. He sat cross-legged in the air, beginning to breathe in the spiritual fog of the Netherworld Holy Water to nourish his body.

While diving directly into the river would wash away his sins instantly, the water was unnervingly heavy—comparable to a falling star. Even a powerhouse like Xuanyuan Moxie would be crushed to death if they jumped in carelessly.

Thus, the Demon Emperor remained suspended, slowly absorbing the Netherworld Spiritual Energy to cleanse himself bit by bit. Though it would take time, it was the safest method to avoid Cultivation Deviation.

Ye Chen had saved him from death once before, and now, as his life force was fading due to his broken foundation, Ye Chen had intervened again.

The Demon Emperor etched this profound kindness into his heart.

As the Demon Emperor entered a deep meditative state, Ye Chen also sat down. He produced the cultivation jade scroll for the Netherworld Erasure Technique and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, focusing his mind to enter a state of realization.

Among the Thirty-Three Heavens Hongmeng Techniques, the Netherworld Erasure Technique was ranked lower and possessed relatively simple formulas. Within the time it took for a single stick of incense to burn, Ye Chen had mastered it.

"Netherworld Gang Qi, rise!"

Ye Chen's eyes snapped open. As he whispered the command, his internal spiritual energy surged and transformed into specialized qi.

A moment later, a thin, pale layer of yellow gang qi appeared over his skin. It lacked any brilliant light and appeared quite fragile.

"Such a weak gang qi... it likely couldn't even deflect a basic flying sword."

Looking at the result, Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

It appeared the Netherworld Three Ancestors were correct; without being infused with Netherworld Water, the Netherworld Gang Qi was powerless. It couldn't even stop a common treasure. Compared to the legendary Star Emperor’s Vast Energy, the difference was as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

"Can the Netherworld Water truly empower it to such an extent?"

Lost in thought, Ye Chen took a jade bottle from his robes and emptied its contents. He aimed his palm at the river and channeled his spiritual energy, shouting:

"Netherworld Holy Water, rise!"

With a sharp hissing sound, over a dozen droplets of water leaped from the river. They floated through the air and settled into his jade bottle.

"Whew..."

Ye Chen let out a heavy breath as sweat beaded on his brow.

The density of the Netherworld Water was staggering. Moving just a few drops had left him feeling exhausted and bone-weary. He recalled how Xuanyuan Moxie could summon an entire river with a simple wave of his hand, and the thought was chilling.

"The gap between my current realm and Xuanyuan Moxie's is still immense."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, feeling the weight of the challenge ahead. He took a moment to compose himself before summoning a single drop of the water and igniting it in mid-air.

Hiss!

The burning droplet released streaks of brownish-yellow light.

Suddenly, the Netherworld Gang Qi surrounding him absorbed this energy. It flared with a sudden divine radiance, becoming saturated with spiritual power and emitting a faint trace of Hongmeng Pressure.

"It actually works!"

Ye Chen was overjoyed. It was true—by infusing it with the Netherworld Water, the defensive power of the Netherworld Erasure Technique increased exponentially.
