The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3423: 3423: Ren's Martial Arts! (Part 2)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
The true worth of the Escape Talisman was unknown to her!
However, the moment it was triggered, a powerful current of air swirled beneath her feet.
Just as she was on the verge of crashing into the earth, the talisman’s power surged to support her weight.
Her descent slowed significantly, allowing her to land safely on the ground.
Despite the soft landing, Zhen’er could not stop herself from coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
With eyes burning like fire and fists clenched white, she glared up at the towering cliff above.
“Father always said that a decade is not too long to wait for vengeance. I may be a mere woman, but a day will come when I return this suffering to them twofold!”
After vowing this, Zhen’er began to limp away in a specific direction.
She desperately needed to nurse her wounds on the spot, but she understood that every second was a battle for survival.
Finding a branch of the Demon Suppression Hall was her only priority.
Her small fingers tightly gripped a photograph.
The woman pictured within looked elegant and poised, yet her eyes were focused entirely on the silhouette of a young man.
In that image, the youth seemed to stand tall enough to support the very heavens.
…
Meanwhile, deep within the Ancient Battlefield beneath Boundary City.
Ren Feifan’s eyes grew deep, and a faint smirk played upon his lips. As this grand game of chess neared its conclusion, the truth was beginning to surface, though these mysteries were for Ye Chen to unravel by his own hand.
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders with a sense of resignation after hearing Ren Feifan’s words. He was well aware that Ren Feifan would keep his silence, even though the curiosity about these secrets was becoming unbearable.
Turning toward the elder, Ye Chen inquired, “Senior Ren, since you have been waiting for my arrival, I assume you have something important to share?”
“Indeed.” Ren Feifan gave Ye Chen a cool look and gestured toward the space behind him.
Startled, Ye Chen spun around to look, but he saw nothing except for a jagged sword scar etched into the stone wall.
“The Samsara Graveyard,” Ren Feifan stated just as Ye Chen turned back, looking perplexed.
“The Samsara Graveyard? Has something happened?” Ye Chen’s face shifted with concern.
“Consider this a piece of advice, or perhaps a stern warning: you must not become overly dependent on the power within the Samsara Graveyard. The figures trapped there are far from simple. Those you have met so far, sealed within the Heavenly Dao Palace, are merely standard powerhouses. However, among the dozens imprisoned in the Upper Realm, every single one is incredibly dangerous!
Specifically, there is one among them known as the Forbidden of All Worlds.”
A heavy solemnity took over Ren Feifan’s expression at the mention of that name, signaling the arrival of a truly terrifying entity.
Even Ren Feifan felt the need to be cautious? Ye Chen was stunned; merely hearing the title 'Forbidden of All Worlds' made it clear how powerful this foe was.
“This individual is unlike the other spirits in the Samsara Graveyard; he does not exist as a divine soul. His True Body is completely imprisoned within the Graveyard. Should he wake while you lack the strength to control him, he could bring about your total annihilation.”
Ren Feifan warned him with absolute gravity.
“Is he even a challenge for you, Senior?” Ye Chen asked instinctively, as Ren Feifan was the most powerful person he had ever encountered.
“Heh, even I lack the certainty that I could suppress him, so you must walk your path with great care.” Ren Feifan gave a small, cryptic laugh.
“I understand.” The knowledge that such a monstrous being resided within the Samsara Graveyard filled Ye Chen with a new sense of dread.
As Ren Feifan pointed out, Ye Chen’s reliance on the Graveyard’s strength was a habit that could hinder his growth.
To truly reach the Peak of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, one must possess their own true power; relying on others is a dead end.
Just as water can carry a vessel, it can just as easily sink it. Ye Chen resolved to limit his use of the Graveyard’s abilities from this moment forward.
One wrong move that awakened the Forbidden of All Worlds would lead to a catastrophe.
Ren Feifan spoke once more: “Ye Chen, you must realize how precarious your situation is. The Demon Emperor’s cataclysm is approaching, while Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xueming are closing in. Furthermore, the Emperor Abyss Palace and the Upper Realm Empress have their sights set on you! If your true identity is exposed, your life is forfeit!
There is a limit to how much I can intervene.
If you intend to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself, time is running out. You must Cultivate and grow stronger at a much faster pace.”
Ren Feifan’s gaze seemed to pierce through Ye Chen’s very essence, seeing into his heart. Ye Chen straightened his posture and gave a firm, slow nod.
While Ye Chen’s progress through the Cultivation realms was exceptionally fast—perhaps even legendary—it still wasn't enough. He needed to be even quicker.
The Demon Emperor had vanished, likely preparing for a confrontation. Then there were Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xueming, the latter of whom already knew he was the Samsara Master.
These were massive threats. Ye Chen’s current power was insufficient; he had to become strong enough to execute them and wipe out these dangers forever.
“It is good that you understand. Now that you are here, I will present you with a gift—a technique I created in my youth.” Ren Feifan looked at Ye Chen and reached out. Suddenly, a phantom light flew from Ye Chen and settled into Ren Feifan’s hand.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. It was the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword, which had been kept inside the Samsara Graveyard. As it returned to Ren Feifan’s grip, the Dragon Sword hummed with joy, radiating a sense of deep connection.
“Heh, it has been a long time, old friend.”
Ren Feifan smiled softly. Suddenly, a peerless, invincible aura exploded from him as he lunged forward with a sword strike toward Ye Chen.
That single strike felt as though the heavens were collapsing. Before Ye Chen’s eyes, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds seemed to fall into ruin. From the wreckage, Nine Blood Moons ascended, casting an eternal crimson glow. It was the most lethal and sharpest sword light imaginable.
The sheer force of the strike was so overwhelming that it felt impossible to block. Ye Chen found himself unable to breathe, let alone move out of the way, standing frozen in shock.
“Bang!” A thunderous crash echoed behind him. Ye Chen looked back to see a fresh sword gouge in the wall, vibrating with the same intense aura as the previous marks.
“This is the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash. When the blade strikes, the blood moons move, and it possesses the power to cleave through heaven and earth!” Ren Feifan looked at Ye Chen with pride.
In casual talk, Ren Feifan was impressive but approachable. However, the moment he drew his sword, his aura of invincibility was staggering, leaving a deep impression on the soul.
“The Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash… to cleave heaven and earth. It is truly peerless.” Ye Chen stared at the mark. The remaining sword Qi made his skin crawl, proving just how dominant the technique was.
“There are nine layers to the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash. It can only be performed with this specific blade, as the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword contains a portion of my blood moon power.” Ren Feifan swung the blade once more toward the stone wall.
An unmatched aura surged forth, and a wave of sword Qi flew out as if to split the world in two. A blood moon appeared in Ye Chen’s vision, and another deep scar appeared on the wall behind him.
“With every layer of the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash, another moon rises. When all nine moons unite, the nine-layered sword intent is complete, signifying that the Cultivation of this technique has reached perfection.”
