The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3416: 3416: Alliance! (Second Update)

A murderous intent so potent it could have frightened an ordinary man to death suddenly flared within Ye Chen’s eyes.

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s expression shifted upon witnessing that gaze, yet Mo Xue Ming felt a surge of secret joy. Had he not been concerned about drawing Ye Chen’s ire and provoking him, Mo Xue Ming might have openly cheered.

“Insignificant juniors, you dare call my name repeatedly? You are courting death!” Ye Chen roared coldly. Behind him, a surge of demonic qi erupted, appearing as if a fragment of the Demon World itself was awakening in his wake.

With a mere thought, that demonic qi gathered into a Demon Qi Long Sword, which he swung directly at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Just then, the War Soul—who had nearly been annihilated by Ye Chen’s earlier palm strike—surged forward once more. Boundless spiritual pressure and resentment flooded into its form, mending its injuries in a heartbeat.

The War Soul possessed terrifying strength, and its regenerative capabilities were heaven-defying, making it virtually invincible. Unless it was killed instantly, it could not truly perish on this Ancient Battlefield.

While in his demonized state, Ye Chen possessed the power to kill the War Soul outright. Under normal circumstances, the War Soul should have retreated, but its white-hot hatred for Ye Chen had completely consumed its reason, much like the demonized youth before it.

“Die!” The War Soul bellowed from the rear. A wave of overwhelming ferocity swept out as it transformed into a War God with eight heads and sixteen arms, its violent power forcing the very heavens to change hue.

“Seeking death!” Ye Chen, who had intended to strike the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, now perceived the War Soul as the primary threat and abruptly redirected his momentum.

“Suppress and perish!” Ye Chen thundered. The Demon Qi Long Sword slashed toward the War Soul; the Demon Blade seemed intent on world destruction, its violent Demon Power causing the Ancient Battlefield to tremble.

“Hiss!” The Demon Qi Long Sword reached its target in a flash. At that exact moment, the War Soul threw a punch forward. Even as the Demon Qi Long Sword carved into its flesh, the War Soul remained completely crazed, refusing to dodge and instead lunging more desperately at Ye Chen.

From each of its eight heads, a mysterious Divine Radiance glowed, while each of its sixteen arms brandished a different weapon to unleash a chaotic barrage of attacks.

The fusion of Divine Radiance and weaponry created a momentum akin to a charging army of thousands. It even manifested a vision of an ancient battlefield in the sky, showing endless beings slaughtering one another. The move was truly peerless!

Facing such a monstrous assault, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth pulled into a contemptuous smirk, his demonized features twisted with blatant insanity.

“That’s it! Now this is getting fun!” Ye Chen roared with laughter. The demonic qi at his back vibrated as he threw a punch. The dark energy spiraled down his arm to his fist, creating a terrifying iron gauntlet of demonic force.

From this iron fist, the wails of countless souls echoed, and visions of worlds being born and extinguished flickered. This strike, resembling World Destruction itself, collided violently with the War Soul.

“Crack!” A bolt of Thunder tore through the sky. The vision of the ancient battlefield summoned by the War Soul shattered instantly. Endless Blood Rain began to pour from the heavens, as if the world itself was weeping for the carnage.

Ye Chen’s fist obliterated every Divine Radiance attack, grinding through them like gears before slamming directly into the War Soul’s chest.

At the same time, the Demon Qi Long Sword completely bifurcated the War Soul’s body. Combined with the force of Ye Chen’s punch...

“Boom!” The War Soul detonated entirely. Countless killing intents and lingering resentments were turned to smoke, scattering into the wind.

The War Soul was blown to pieces by that single punch, its existence thoroughly wiped out. It was a sight so grisly that even the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s eyelids twitched.

Mo Xue Ming’s face also turned solemn; the demonized version of Ye Chen was truly a monster.

If Ye Chen ever learned to master this demonization, he would become an unimaginably dangerous figure!

Suddenly, from the spot where the War Soul had perished, pure spiritual pressure and resentment began to leak out.

Sensing this aura, Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He looked toward the site of the explosion and saw a crystalline human-shaped object slowly drifting down from the sky.

This was the War Soul Crystal, the core essence of the entity. Now that Ye Chen had wiped out the War Soul’s consciousness, its primal origin was exposed.

The War Soul Crystal was currently without a master. Anyone who claimed it could easily refine it and experience a massive surge in power. It was a supreme, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Upon seeing the War Soul Crystal, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s expression shifted slightly, his gaze darting toward the lurking Mo Xue Ming.

Though the War Soul Crystal was ownerless, it required time to process. Ye Chen could not refine it instantly on the battlefield, which gave Mo Xue Ming an opening.

Indeed, greed flickered in Mo Xue Ming’s eyes. He craved the War Soul Crystal; it was the entire reason his avatar had come here. With it, Mo Xue Ming’s lingering injuries could be fully repaired.

“It must be mine!” A look of madness took hold of Mo Xue Ming. In the next breath, he made his move—not against Ye Chen, but straight toward the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

“Ye Chen, slay this man! Once he is dead, the War Soul Crystal is yours—I have no interest in it!” Mo Xue Ming yelled out.

Mo Xue Ming’s plan was treacherous. Knowing Ye Chen’s mind was currently fractured and prone to attacking allies, he chose to manipulate Ye Chen into targeting the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Once Ye Chen eliminated the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, Mo Xue Ming would be rid of a rival, and Ye Chen’s demonic strength would likely be spent. At that point, Mo Xue Ming could strike Ye Chen down and seize the War Soul Crystal for himself.

He didn't even consider Xiao Bai or the You Ying Ghost Weasel as threats; in his eyes, only Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor were worthy of notice.

Hearing Mo Xue Ming’s shout, Ye Chen turned his eyes away from the crystal. He glared at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor with a crazed intensity and agreed without a second thought.

“Fine! You had better keep your word! If you don't, I will make your existence a living nightmare!” Ye Chen snarled, launching a furious assault on the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

As Ye Chen lunged, the massive reservoir of demonic qi behind him surged forward, shaping itself into countless black spikes that rained down upon the Sky-covering Demon Emperor like a lethal storm.

Sensing the weight of the attack, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor was startled. He was prepared to fight for his life when Ye Chen’s voice suddenly rang out inside his head.

“Senior Demon Emperor, play along with me!”

Upon hearing these words, a light flashed in the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s eyes. He realized the situation instantly and put on a mask of righteous fury.

“I came here to assist you, and yet you seek my life? If I am to fall today, I will make sure you do not survive either!”

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor charged forward, brandishing the Slaughter Immortal Sword. While he could not fully harness the potential of this Small Origin Weapon, his profound insights and his natural compatibility with the sword allowed him to draw out a significant portion of its devastating power.
