The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3412: Ren’s Expectation (Sixth Update)

Amidst the shadows, a boundless tide of demonic Qi surged toward Ye Chen. He did not retreat, instead welcoming the darkness and absorbing every drop of it into himself.

In that instant, Ye Chen’s physical form erupted with a terrifying display of demonic Qi. His eyes transformed into orbs of pure, ink-black darkness, stripped of any white, making him look like a devil god descending upon the mortal realm. The sheer intensity of his demonic Qi now even surpassed that of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Witnessing this transformation, Mo Xue Ming’s heart pounded with dread. Sensing an impending disaster, he shouted urgently, "Lord War Soul, stop him immediately! If he completes this demonization, his power will skyrocket, and subduing him will be nearly impossible!"

War Soul, who already intended to show no mercy, became even more ferocious upon hearing this warning. He gathered a massive amount of spiritual pressure, condensing it into a formidable long spear. Gripping the weapon tightly, War Soul lunged forward with a lethal thrust.

The spear of spiritual pressure tore through the fabric of space, causing countless shards of reality to shatter and fall. The terrifying force of the impact swept these fragments into a violent, swirling vortex.

These razor-sharp space fragments created a lethal torrent. Seeing such an unstoppable strike, Mo Xue Ming felt his confidence return. He followed closely behind War Soul, swinging his axe in a brutal strike aimed directly at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor!

A fatal crisis was at hand!

...

Upper Realm, Heaven-connecting Peak.

This peak stands as one of the ten great wonders of the Upper Realm.

Legends say that in the ancient era, the Samsara Master and a mysterious figure achieved enlightenment upon this very summit.

The duo remained in deep meditation for an entire year.

During that time, Heaven-connecting Peak was the site of constant, miraculous phenomena!

After a year had passed, tens of thousands of fissures split the earth beneath the peak!

These cracks formed because the mountain itself could not withstand the overwhelming martial arts essence radiating from the Samsara Master and his companion.

Tragically, following the fall of the Samsara Master, the peak became a desolate place.

This was due to a massive seal that had been placed upon it in those days!

Ordinary cultivators find it impossible to even get close!

Anyone attempting to approach is instantly crushed by the lingering martial arts essence of those two legendary men.

Over the millennia, many have tried to brave the ascent!

Yet, all that remains of them are scattered fragments of white bone.

It is a truly chilling sight.

Currently, atop the summit of Heaven-connecting Peak.

The silhouettes of two individuals were framed by the fading light of the sunset.

One figure stood tall, exuding an aura of profound mystery. Within his calm eyes, the faint images of blood moons could be seen.

Even without any visible fluctuations of Qi!

He stood there with the presence of one who rules over all of heaven and earth!

The enigmatic Ren!

Ren Feifan looked out over the fog-drenched landscape and spoke to the elderly man at his side: "Elder Ye, it seems that young man has made his way to the Ancient Battlefield."

"To be honest, I find myself missing the days of the past."

Standing beside him, Elder Ye gave a slow shake of his head: "That was the boy's own path to take."

"Actually, falling might not have been the worst outcome for him."

"In his previous incarnation, despite his incredible power, he encountered too few true obstacles on his path of Cultivation."

"Because of that, his martial arts did not truly originate from the depths of his heart."

"Using a term from Huaxia, wasn't he much like a flower raised in a greenhouse?"

"In this lifetime, he is forging his martial arts anew. Starting from River City, he has built a hardened heart and a Ling Xiao Martial Intent through endless brushes with death."

"His bloodline and his grasp of the Dao may already far outstrip what he possessed in his past life."

"If he is granted enough time, he might even surpass where you stand now."

A small smile touched Ren Feifan’s lips. He turned around, clasping his hands behind his back, and looked down at a chessboard overgrown with moss.

"I believe that as well."

"The Ye Chen of this era will be magnificent."

"If he hadn't made this choice, we might still be powerless against those entities."

"This time, Ye Chen truly represents our only hope."

Elder Ye glanced at Ren before shifting his focus to the chessboard. After a brief pause, he asked: "What exactly did you leave behind in the Ancient Battlefield?"

Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed slightly: "I left the thing I took the most pride in during those years."

"Perhaps it is better suited for him now."

Elder Ye seemed to grasp the meaning and nodded. He continued: "On another note, I recently traveled to the Outer Heaven Demon Land."

"It has been quiet since the Demon Emperor vanished."

"However, some major disturbances just occurred there. I suspect the Demon Emperor might be preparing to move against Ye Chen."

"After losing his most treasured son, the Demon Emperor's disappearance cannot be a simple matter!"

Blood moons flickered in Ren Feifan’s pupils as he replied coolly: "I have a theory about where the Demon Emperor went; that vortex is a dangerous place."

"The world-ending disaster of the Divine Kingdom cannot be avoided."

"The Demon Emperor won't act recklessly; he is likely preparing a final, supreme strike."

"Ye Chen still has a window of time."

"Everything depends on what he manages to retrieve from the Ancient Battlefield."

Elder Ye was startled and started to respond when a ripple in space manifested behind him!

Suddenly, snow began to fall across the entirety of Heaven-connecting Peak!

In an instant, the mountain was encased in ice!

Elder Ye’s expression grew grim: "Those people have tracked you down. Are you really going to refuse to see them again?"

Ren Feifan gave a simple, two-word answer: "Not meeting."

In the following heartbeat, his body was enveloped in intense blood essence and Source Qi before he vanished entirely.

Elder Ye let out a sigh and followed suit.

Shortly after their departure, a woman dressed in ice-blue jade robes arrived with a group of powerful experts!

The woman closed her eyes to sense the surroundings, a look of annoyance crossing her beautiful features!

"They are gone! We missed them by a mere moment!"

"Keep searching!"

"Understood!"

The figures vanished into thin air shortly after.

Heaven-connecting Peak returned to its quiet, lonely state.

The thick layers of ice and snow began to thaw.

It was as if the world was coming back to life.

...

Meanwhile, in the Outer Realm.

The Heavenly Demon Land.

A sense of decay, silence, and desolation gripped the gray earth beneath a crimson sky. The air was thick with Demon Energy and the scent of death; very few living beings could survive such a place.

In the void beyond the red sky, countless broken corpses drifted like a graveyard in the stars.

This was the most restricted zone of the Outer Heaven Demon Land, and the atmosphere was heavy with an oppressive, terrifying pressure.

Suddenly, a dark shadow darted among the debris. A faint, dying light revealed a monstrous and intimidating form.

It was a pitch-black demonic beast covered in writhing tentacles. Its multiple mouths snapped open and shut, revealing rows of glowing green fangs.

The beast’s smooth head scanned the area, clearly hunting for something...

In the Outer Heaven Demon Land, any creature that can roam freely is formidable!

This beast radiated an aura that rivaled a Holy Ancestor Realm master!

Its strength was on par with a middle-stage Holy Ancestor Realm cultivator!

As the beast prowled through the field of corpses, its eyes suddenly locked onto something. At the edge of its sight, buried under layers of red dust, the faint silhouette of a massive python began to emerge!
