The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3406: Unrest!

The ancient battlefield, where swirling waves of sinister aura collided with overwhelming battle energy, had fully manifested its presence to the outside world, triggering a massive upheaval.

Externally, the world trembled violently as if countless mighty warriors from above the Nine Heavens were roaring in unison. The echoes of combat reverberated through the air, striking shock into the hearts of all who listened.

Within the battlefield, a menacing face observed the phenomenon. Its expression shifted slightly as it hurriedly slammed the stone door shut, attempting to seal off the leaking energy.

It knew that with experts gathered outside like thick clouds, any heaven-defying being stepping into this realm would pose a lethal threat to its existence.

Unfortunately, the ripples of the sinister battle current had already reached the exterior. This caused a violent disturbance in heaven and earth, immediately seizing the attention of numerous experts throughout the Divine Kingdom.

Deep within the Heavenly Dao Palace, inside the Chong Guang Divine Radiance Palace.

Xuanyuan Moxie sat cross-legged in the center of the grand hall. He was silently regulating his breathing and nursing his wounds when the wave of battle energy washed over him. His eyes snapped open, flashing with a hint of astonishment.

"Such incredible War Soul energy!"

He looked toward the window, where dark clouds surged across the distant horizon, seemingly harboring a magnificent aura.

"Has an Ancient Battle Soul manifested?"

Almost instantly, Xuanyuan Moxie recognized the aura of an Ancient Battle Soul. It contained the lingering spirits of countless ancient masters and possessed an incredibly dense reservoir of energy.

"If I can refine that Ancient Battle Soul, my injuries will be healed in an instant!"

His eyes burned with intense fervor. The aura of the Ancient Battle Soul was so vast that absorbing it would not only mend his wounds immediately but might even allow his Cultivation level to break through to new heights.

"Chen Xuanyu, come here at once!"

With a shift in his gaze, Xuanyuan Moxie reached a swift conclusion in his heart.

Tap, tap, tap.

No sooner had he spoken than a man radiating Hongmeng Treasure Light hurried into the hall—it was Chen Xuanyu.

"What are your commands, Lord Palace Master?"

Chen Xuanyu inquired, cupping his hands in respect.

"An Ancient Battle Soul appears to be emerging at Boundary City. Take the Nine Nether Tiger with you to capture that War Soul and bring it back to me!"

Xuanyuan Moxie’s tone was grave. He knew that with the appearance of an Ancient Battle Soul, the Netherworld Hall would surely be alerted as well.

He needed to strike fast and suppress the War Soul before Mo Xue Ming could intervene.

The energy within this Ancient Battle Soul was simply too immense; whether he or Mo Xue Ming claimed it, their injuries would vanish instantly.

To put it simply, whichever side seized the Ancient Battle Soul would gain the decisive advantage in the coming war!

"My Lord, you are... still wounded. The Nine Nether Tiger should stay here to protect you. I am capable of going alone."

Chen Xuanyu spoke softly, offering a reminder. Since Xuanyuan Moxie had not yet recovered, leaving him without a guardian could lead to unimaginable disasters if something went wrong.

"Do not worry. As long as I hold the Source Weapon, no one can harm me. You two must move quickly. Do not let the Netherworld Hall reach it first!"

While speaking, Xuanyuan Moxie unsheathed a sword.

The blade radiated a murderous intent, saturated with a terrifying aura of extermination and laced with the secrets of the Source Dao. It was the Immortal Slaying Sword—the primary blade among the Four Immortal Slaying Swords!

Although Xuanyuan Moxie had not yet fully perfected his control over the Immortal Slaying Sword, he could still harness a portion of its lethal power, which was more than enough to handle any surprises.

The Ancient Battle Soul was far too precious for him to lose. Fearing that Chen Xuanyu alone might not be a match for the Netherworld Hall, he insisted on sending the Nine Nether Tiger as well.

"Understood, my Lord. I shall depart immediately."

Chen Xuanyu bowed and quickly exited the grand hall.

Standing beneath a massive tree outside the hall was a majestic and haughty figure.

It was an elder with snowy hair, yet his eyebrows radiated a sharp, youthful vigor. His face featured tiger whiskers, and a giant pen was strapped to his back.

This elder was the Nine Nether Tiger.

Now that the seals of Gai Hanlin and Su Ruoxi had been broken, his aura was returning, allowing him to assume human form. He was shrouded in thick demonic energy, and his cultivation had reached the formidable Middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm, making him even more terrifying than Chen Xuanyu.

The massive pen he carried was once the treasure of Emperor Yi Wen: the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen.

Following the death of Emperor Yi Wen, the pen had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Dao Palace, and Xuanyuan Moxie had bestowed it upon him.

"Lord Nine Nether Tiger, an Ancient Battle Soul has surfaced. The Lord Palace Master has ordered us to retrieve it together."

Chen Xuanyu cupped his hands, though he maintained a respectful distance from the Nine Nether Tiger.

After all, the Nine Nether Tiger was a Great Ancient Demon and the leader of the Ancient Ten Evils, possessing a truly frightening lineage.

Even though his seal was gone, he had not truly submitted to Xuanyuan Moxie.

In reality, Xuanyuan Moxie had used deception to control him. This left the demon mentally unstable and his memories fragmented, creating a constant risk that he might turn on his masters.

"Oh."

The Nine Nether Tiger gave a short, indifferent response. His brow furrowed with a trace of anxiety, keeping his true thoughts hidden from everyone.

"Let us depart."

Chen Xuanyu didn't dare linger. He knew that to truly tame the Nine Nether Tiger, they needed to secure the Ancient Battle Soul so Xuanyuan Moxie could return to full strength. Only then could his supreme power keep the demon in check.

The two figures then repeatedly tore through the Void, racing toward Boundary City.

Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere gripped the Netherworld Hall.

"An Ancient Battle Soul has appeared!"

Mo Xue Ming was currently in seclusion, meditating on the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Dominator Blade, when he felt the cosmic disturbance. His face immediately twisted into a look of shock.

His own wounds were far from healed, and his recovery timeline was uncertain.

However, the Ancient Battle Soul held enough spiritual energy to mend his broken body.

"The Heavenly Dao Palace must have already sent their forces!"

Mo Xue Ming bit his lip in frustration. The strength of his Netherworld Hall paled in comparison to the Heavenly Dao Palace, especially since their Origin Qi had been decimated during the Master Slaying Conference.

He currently suffered from a lack of capable subordinates, leaving him in a bleak position.

Nevertheless, the Ancient Battle Soul was too vital to ignore. He could not allow it to be taken.

If the Heavenly Dao Palace secured it and Xuanyuan Moxie recovered, the Netherworld Hall would be doomed.

"No matter the cost, I cannot let the Heavenly Dao Palace have their way!"

Determination flared in Mo Xue Ming’s eyes. He forced his blood essence to churn, manifesting a powerful avatar.

"Go!"

At his command, the avatar shot forward, flying toward Boundary City.

"Pfft!"

As soon as the avatar departed, Mo Xue Ming coughed up a spray of blood, his complexion turning deathly pale.

The avatar possessed the strength of a Middle-stage Holy Ancestor, but it had been forged from his very own True Essence Blood.

Having barely started his recovery, this desperate tactic caused a severe backlash, making him vomit blood.

"That Ancient Battle Soul must be mine!!"

Wiping the blood from his lips, Mo Xue Ming stared into the distance. The foundation of the Netherworld Hall was shattered, and his own health was failing. If the Heavenly Dao Palace seized the Ancient Battle Soul, he would have no path left to follow!

He was backed into a corner with no other choice!
