The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3411: 3411: Demonized State!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
As the Samsara Master, Ye Chen possessed overwhelming Qi Fortune and a deep reservoir of hidden trump cards. Mo Xue Ming, unwilling to let his grand designs crumble in such a desolate place, maintained a cautious distance from his opponent.
“An avatar alone isn't enough to make me run!” Ye Chen declared, his gaze cold as he stared down Mo Xue Ming.
“Have you forgotten about me?” Lord War Soul roared, his eyes burning with a hatred that had completely eclipsed his sanity. He wanted nothing more than to seize Ye Chen and tear him limb from limb.
“You? You are nothing but a lowly War Soul,” Ye Chen countered with a mocking sneer.
“You seek death!” Unable to tolerate Ye Chen’s blatant arrogance, Lord War Soul finally snapped.
A ferocious surge of killing intent and battle will descended like a flood from the Nine Heavens. This momentum accompanied Lord War Soul’s palm strike, reaching such a terrifying intensity that even Mo Xue Ming felt a hint of danger.
Mo Xue Ming doubted that a heavily wounded Ye Chen could survive such a devastating blow, yet the inherent power of the Samsara Master compelled him to remain vigilant.
“I will assist you!” With flickering eyes, Mo Xue Ming brandished the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe and charged, his weapon slicing through the void toward Ye Chen’s skull.
“You think you can kill me? In your dreams!” Faced with the combined assault, Ye Chen gave a thunderous shout and hurled a jade bottle of Netherworld Water directly at Lord War Soul.
“What is this trifle?” Ignorant of the liquid's true nature, Lord War Soul sneered and swatted it with his palm.
“Bang!” The bottle shattered, drenching Lord War Soul in Netherworld Water. The liquid possessed the crushing weight of stars and suns, instantly slamming the creature into the earth.
Furthermore, the Netherworld Water held the power to purge all sin. Lord War Soul, a being birthed from spiritual pressure and concentrated resentment, was a creature of pure malice. Under the cleansing effect of the water, he suffered agonizingly as his essence evaporated into plumes of green smoke.
Mo Xue Ming’s heart jolted at the sight of Lord War Soul’s agony. He recognized the potency of the Netherworld Water and knew Ye Chen wouldn't be able to catch him off guard with it again.
Seeing Ye Chen’s back turned toward him, Mo Xue Ming realized this was the perfect opening. He prepared to bring his axe down, intending to end Ye Chen once and for all. Securing the Samsara Master’s massive Qi Fortune would grant him invincibility—a temptation he found impossible to ignore.
“This domain belongs to Mo Xue Ming! Ye Chen, your life ends today!” Mo Xue Ming erupted in manic laughter. Ye Chen seemed completely unaware, making no move to turn around or defend himself.
Just as the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe was inches from Ye Chen’s head, a sudden burst of pitch-black light erupted from his body. Mo Xue Ming was instantly engulfed by a suffocating wave of demonic qi.
“This is bad!” A chill ran down Mo Xue Ming’s spine as a sense of lethal dread washed over him.
Forced to react, Mo Xue Ming abandoned his offensive and swung his axe downward in a defensive arc.
“Bang!” Mo Xue Ming was sent hurtling backward. Standing beside Ye Chen was a figure radiating a violent aura and immense demonic qi.
“The Demon Emperor!” Mo Xue Ming’s heart hammered against his ribs. There stood the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, garbed in the Po Jun Battle Emperor Robe and gripping the Slaughter Immortal Sword, his eyes fixed on Mo Xue Ming with murderous intent.
“Mo Xue Ming, if you wish to take Ye Chen’s life, you must go through me first.”
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor spoke with a chilling calm, his aura expanding to fill the area with majestic power.
The sins weighing upon the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had been purged, shattering the shackles of his previous Cultivation level!
The Netherworld Water had triggered a chain of breakthroughs within him. Now standing at the Middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm, he faced Mo Xue Ming’s avatar without a shred of trepidation.
Mo Xue Ming’s expression darkened. “You believe you can stop me? I will ensure Ye Chen dies here today!”
Nearby, though Lord War Soul had been grounded and cleansed by the Netherworld Water, his foundation was too deep for a single bottle to destroy. He rose once more, drawing in surrounding spiritual pressure and resentment to rapidly mend his wounds.
“Samsara Master, unless you deliver a final, fatal blow, I am eternal!” Lord War Soul cackled. He drew in a massive vortex of spiritual pressure, absorbing it instantly.
His physical form expanded tenfold, looming like a primordial titan. Every movement he made resonated with a power that could shake the souls of onlookers.
Even Mo Xue Ming was stunned by this display. He quickly called out, “Lord War Soul, your strength has surged! Together, we can definitely eliminate him!”
“Hmph!” Lord War Soul grunted in agreement. His eyes, glowing like embers, remained locked on Ye Chen. His hatred was palpable, leaving him with little interest in the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.
Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor grew solemn; they hadn't anticipated that Lord War Soul could bolster his power further by consuming the local resentment.
Previously, with the Demon Emperor’s return, the duo could have comfortably fended off Mo Xue Ming and Lord War Soul, or at least made a clean escape.
However, with Lord War Soul’s transformation and the likelihood of Mo Xue Ming holding back more secrets, the situation had turned critical again.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s eyes shifted, and his voice resonated within Ye Chen’s consciousness.
“If Lord War Soul can use this spiritual pressure and resentment to break his limits, so can you!”
“What?” Ye Chen’s eyes sparked with realization.
“This place is thick with demonic qi as well as resentment. If you enter your demonized state, our combined strength will be enough to slaughter Mo Xue Ming’s avatar and Lord War Soul!”
“The demonized state…” Ye Chen wavered. He knew this required the Darkest Divine Vein. Forcing such a state risked a mental backlash that could leave him unable to tell his allies from his enemies, potentially creating a new disaster.
“Samsara Master, stop your plotting! No matter what you plan, you will perish by my hand!”
As Ye Chen hesitated, Lord War Soul struck. His colossal hand descended like the falling sky, releasing a barrage of spiritual pressure that manifested into a dense forest of spears.
The attack felt like the end of the world, a strike designed to shatter the spirit.
Simultaneously, Mo Xue Ming moved. He gripped the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe in one hand and a war blade in the other, his body swathed in thick Asura Qi.
“Die!” Mo Xue Ming swung both weapons. The Asura Qi surged forward, forming massive phantom blades and axes that carried the force of an ultimate weapon of ruin.
Confronted by this dual onslaught, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor lashed out with the Slaughter Immortal Sword. Unleashing the full power of a Small Origin Weapon, he managed to intercept the attacks of both Mo Xue Ming and Lord War Soul. However, the effort caused him to cough up blood, clearly strained by the impact.
“Do not wait!” the Sky-covering Demon Emperor urged Ye Chen urgently. “If you don't enter the demonized state now, we are finished!”
“Fine!” Ye Chen decided instantly. The situation left him no choice; the Sky-covering Demon Emperor could not hold them off alone for much longer.
“Darkest Divine Vein, activate!” Ye Chen bellowed internally. Suddenly, an absolute, suffocating darkness swallowed the entire world.
