The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3403: Seeking the Secrets of a Past Life! (Fourth Update)

A single drop of Netherworld Water is enough to cause a visible metamorphosis; if he could harness the entire Netherworld River’s energy, the sheer force of the Netherworld Gang Qi would likely be capable of leveling the Heavenly Dao Palace. Even someone as powerful as Xuanyuan Moxie would find it impossible to endure such a strike.

However, the obstacle remains that Ye Chen’s current Cultivation is restricted, making it impossible for him to control the entirety of the river’s holy water.

Had he the capacity to do so, his ancient power would have been restored to its peak. He wouldn't need to depend on any Divine Power Treasures; a simple glance from him would suffice to destroy the Heavenly Dao Palace a thousand times over.

Over the following days, Ye Chen dedicated himself to practicing the Netherworld Erasure Technique while also methodically gathering Netherworld Water. Within a short span of time, he had filled over thirty bottles, providing him with a sufficient reserve for the near future.

During this period, visions of an ancient battlefield within the Samsara Graveyard played incessantly in his mind!

What specific events took place on that Ancient Battlefield?

It appeared that the Samsara Master and Ren Feifan had been caught in a deadly trap, nearly losing their lives.

The person spearheading that assault was none other than Dishi Tian.

In those days, Dishi Tian had not yet attained the terrifying level of power he possesses today.

Similarly, Ren Feifan lacked his current invincible strength and was nearly slain during that ambush.

Fortunately, the situation was salvaged when the Ancient Goddess of War, Qu Chenyan, arrived just in time to rescue them both.

Yet, the details of the conflict that followed Qu Chenyan’s arrival remained hidden from Ye Chen’s sight.

Countless threads of karmic fate were in constant flux.

Vaguely, a sensation took hold of Ye Chen—this ancient battlefield was located somewhere near the Divine Kingdom!

"If I can locate the ruins of that battlefield, I might uncover the truth."

Ye Chen mused that if he could delve deeper and seize the karma of his previous incarnation, his Cultivation level would surely experience a massive breakthrough!

As the Heavenly Demon Extinction Calamity drew closer, Ye Chen’s sole focus was to bolster his strength rapidly to face the coming disaster.

"Where exactly are these ancient ruins hidden within the Divine Kingdom?"

He knit his brows in concentration, certain of their existence in the Divine Kingdom but unable to pinpoint the exact coordinates.

"Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, open!"

With a sharp cry, Ye Chen triggered the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye. Strands of dark demonic qi converged to form a vertical pupil on his brow, which immediately pierced through the void to seek out the hidden traces of karma.

At last, a vision of an ancient battlefield appeared before him. It was a grim scene filled with corpses and shattered weapons. Crows and vultures circled above the desolation, while the air was thick with the wailing of restless souls and a heavy sense of despair.

"The ancient battlefield... this is the place!"

Ye Chen was filled with excitement. However, just as he attempted to identify the path to the entrance, a stabbing pain shot through his eyes, and they nearly began to bleed.

"Damn it."

Grit filled his voice as he endured the pain. It was clear that the Heavenly Secrets Aura surrounding this site was immense, and spying upon it required a steep price.

The entrance was heavily veiled by layers of Heavenly Mechanism Mist, remaining obscured even to his enhanced vision.

He sensed that this location held the keys to the mysteries of his past life and Ren Feifan’s true background.

Investigating these ruins would undoubtedly provide him with profound enlightenment.

"Netherworld Holy Water, break through!"

Ye Chen produced a bottle of the precious liquid and sacrificed its entire contents.

Crash!

A flood of Netherworld Spiritual Energy erupted, washing over the obstacles.

The thick Heavenly Mechanism Mist was forcibly cleared away.

In that moment, Ye Chen realized that the gateway to the ancient battlefield was situated right beneath Boundary City!

"So it was under Boundary City all along!"

Ye Chen’s heart leaped with joy at the discovery.

With the mist dispersed by the Netherworld Water, the path was finally clear to his eyes.

By entering through the passage beneath Boundary City, one could step onto the ancient battlefield.

Furthermore, he sensed a monumental War Soul residing within those ruins!

During the ancient war, many powerful experts perished. While some entered the cycle of Samsara, others were completely destroyed, leaving their souls to haunt the battlefield for eternity.

Over time, these remnants merged into a singular War Soul, a manifestation of ancient battle intent and sorrow, brimming with massive amounts of spiritual energy.

Should a cultivator manage to refine it, they would undergo a complete transformation and surpass their current limits!

"Where is the Ancient War Soul located?"

Ye Chen scanned the area, searching for the soul's position.

Suddenly, his eyes throbbed with agony once more, nearly weeping blood.

The vertical eye on his forehead snapped shut, and the demonic qi vanished instantly.

The strain of using the Netherworld Water to force a glimpse into the karmic secrets had resulted in a harsh backlash.

Puff!

A spray of blood erupted from Ye Chen’s mouth as his complexion turned deathly pale. He had paid a heavy price for his curiosity.

Despite the injury, a smile remained on his face.

The cost was worth it; he now knew for certain that the ruins were in the Divine Kingdom.

He simply needed to head to Boundary City to walk the path of the ancients.

There was even the prospect of finding and refining the Ancient War Soul to achieve a new level of power.

"I have to go there. This battlefield holds the secrets of my past and Senior Ren’s identity!"

With a look of firm resolve, Ye Chen wanted to depart immediately, but his body was too damaged by the backlash. He needed time to heal.

Knowing that haste would only lead to failure, he remained within the Netherworld Map to meditate and recover.

A full day passed before Ye Chen returned to his peak condition.

In that time, both the You Ying Ghost Weasel and Ye Lingtian had fully recovered from their previous wounds.

Having experienced destruction and subsequent rebirth, their Cultivation had advanced to the Ninth Level of the Heavenly God Realm.

"You two, come with me."

Ye Chen summoned them from the Netherworld Map and gave them a brief summary of the ancient battlefield.

He intended to take them along as he explored the ruins.

He left the management of the Demon Suppression Hall to Ji Siqing and the others for the time being.

Ji Siqing, Ji Lin, Wei Ying, and Zining were mostly recovered. Only Xia Ruoxue remained in secluded cultivation, as the ordeal with Han Zui had drained her energy significantly.

With the protection of Ji Siqing and Wei Ying, the Demon Suppression Hall was secure. Even if the missing Demon Emperor resurfaced, they were capable of defending the Sect.

Furthermore, the karma involving the Martial God Mountain of the Outer Realm had been largely severed. Ye Chen could feel that the Blood Dragon’s ruthless actions had settled those old debts, leaving the Martial God Mountain unable to retaliate.

Unless the Netherworld Hall or the Heavenly Dao Palace took direct action, the hall was safe.

As an extra precaution, Ye Chen left Little Gold behind to stand guard.

With these arrangements finished, he, Ye Lingtian, and the You Ying Ghost Weasel began tearing through the void toward Boundary City.

"Brother Ye Chen, wait for me!"

A soft, youthful voice called out from behind them.

Ye Chen turned to see Xiao Bai rushing to catch up.

"Xiao Bai? Why are you following us?"

Ye Chen was surprised. Xiao Bai’s strength was not yet at a level suited for such a dangerous journey.
