The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3427: The Terrifying Lightning Dragon!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Essentially, if Ye Chen chose to stop utilizing the Netherworld Map’s energy to advance his Cultivation at this moment, the lightning tribulation would vanish. However, his expression was twisted with fury.
"The Netherworld Map belongs to me. I am using it to break through; who dares to interfere? Not even the heavens have that right!"
As that thought took hold, a boundless power suddenly surged within Ye Chen. He achieved his breakthrough in that instant, and the illusions manifested by the Dark Thunder Tribulation inside his body were crushed by this violent force, disappearing completely and never to return.
Having successfully endured the Dark Thunder Tribulation, Ye Chen’s eyes shone with brilliance as he looked toward the firmament, where a colossal rift had formed above the Ancient Battlefield.
In Boundary City, an infinite thunderous power tore through the sky once more, pouring downward as dark clouds and lightning followed in its wake.
This inexhaustible thunder energy originated from the heavens above Boundary City, brewing within the firmament while thick, obsidian clouds rolled in as if a massive hand were clutching the sky itself.
Threads of thunderous energy coalesced, transforming into lightning dragons that spiraled through the sea of clouds like monsters surging in a vast ocean.
As they moved, these lightning dragons directed their wrathful glares at Ye Chen, roaring occasionally as if they were the heavens' messengers, demanding that he submit and bow his head.
Observing these lightning dragons, Ye Chen’s expression grew incredibly grim. This was not the standard power of the Divine Kingdom or Boundary City; this was not their local tribulation lightning. This was a tribulation originating from the Outer Realm and the Upper Realm.
"Damn it!" Ye Chen cursed under his breath. The sheer intensity of this lightning tribulation chilled him to his core. Should he truly be forced to face this, it would mean certain death.
"I refuse to die!" With a resolute gaze and the Slaughter Sword gripped firmly in his hand, he let out a roar toward the heavens.
Violent thunder continued to brew above as the lightning dragons prowled through the murky clouds.
Meanwhile, panic gripped Boundary City as the inhabitants watched the thunderous power rip open another void in space. Though the destination of this rift was unknown, it appeared to be centered within Boundary City.
"This is impossible! How could any cultivator summon such a terrifying tribulation?" a white-haired Elder shouted in pure disbelief.
"Perhaps a monstrous talent has emerged."
"Let us go and investigate." Driven by a sense of wonder, someone flew toward the sky to get a closer look at the space torn apart by the thunder.
However, before that person could even get near, the malevolent thunder power was triggered. It surged forth with an endless explosion of Thunder Light, vaporizing him instantly.
"Ah!" The onlookers below gasped in horror. It was truly terrifying—to be obliterated just for approaching.
"That fool was seeking his own death! That tribulation is far beyond his level; even a mere glance invites Big Cause and Effect!" someone yelled, tightly shutting their eyes.
Some, with eyes wide, tried to discover the source of the tribulation by using secret techniques to peer into the rift.
Yet, before they could see anything, their eyes burst, and some even had their entire heads explode. The sight was gruesome.
"Damn, it truly is Big Cause and Effect! Do not try to probe it, or you are just courting death!"
"This tribulation is not something we are permitted to investigate. Just leave it be!"
"But the tribulation is right above us; if it breaks out, Boundary City might be wiped out."
While some were filled with dread, most remained unconcerned, knowing that a tribulation focuses solely on its target and would likely spare Boundary City itself.
Back in the Ancient Battlefield, unaware of the chaos in Boundary City, Ye Chen simply stared back at the heavenly tribulation with fury.
Countless lightning dragons snarled with malice, Thunder Light flickering from their jaws and nostrils. As time ticked by, tens of thousands of them manifested.
"I couldn't survive a single one of those lightning dragons, yet there are so many! It is as if the heavens want to execute their master," the You Ying Ghost Weasel cried out in a state of panic.
"Keep your mouth shut! No matter how difficult the tribulation is, Brother Ye Chen will surely triumph over it," Xiao Bai snapped, glaring at the You Ying Ghost Weasel.
At this, the You Ying Ghost Weasel sheepishly went silent, while Ye Lingtian nodded as if to show his agreement with Xiao Bai.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor remained silent, his eyes fixed solemnly on the sky.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor had also detected the anomaly. This tribulation was far too horrific; it even bypassed the laws of the Divine Kingdom. Coming from the Outer Realm and the Upper Realm, it was far beyond what Ye Chen’s current Cultivation realm should be able to withstand.
"Ye Chen, everything rests on your shoulders now." Since outsiders were forbidden from interfering in another's tribulation, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor could do nothing but pray for him.
In the following instant, the thunderous power that had been gathering for so long finally exploded. A single lightning dragon dove first, encased in blinding Thunder Light, charging toward Ye Chen with its massive maw wide open.
"You are courting death!" Ye Chen’s eyes turned icy. As he swung the Slaughter Sword, the Destruction Divine Dao erupted, instantly cleaving the lightning dragon in two.
However, as soon as that dragon fell, hundreds more descended. Their numbers were overwhelming, appearing like a torrential rain of lightning dragons falling from the heavens in an endless assault.
The spectacle was horrifying, and the sheer destructive force sent a chill even through the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. This tribulation appeared impossible to defeat.
Despite utilizing every technique at his disposal, Ye Chen found it nearly impossible to repel the onslaught and was instantly swallowed by a Sea of Thunder.
Ye Chen’s form was hidden by the blinding Thunder Light; the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the others were consumed by worry, unable to see anything within the storm.
Inside the Sea of Thunder, Ye Chen’s hair stood on end as the fierce thunderous energy caused the Qi within him to vibrate violently.
Nevertheless, the Destruction Divine Dao swirled around him, the Buddha Light Barrier flared up, and he unleashed the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds. Accompanied by the Hongmeng Sound Symbol, these techniques bolstered the Buddha Light Barrier as he fought to endure the lightning's wrath.
But the tribulation was simply too powerful. Even with the Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven and the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds working in tandem, he could barely hold on, and the Buddha Light Barrier soon began to fade.
"What kind of cursed tribulation is this!" Ye Chen cursed, his face turning deathly pale. Outside his flickering Buddha Light Barrier, the endless lightning dragons snarled and attacked with savage frenzy.
A moment later, the Buddha Light Barrier reached its limit and shattered. Immediately, Ye Chen’s Dragon Flame Divine Vein surged, and a magnificent fire dragon roared forth from his body.
"Die, all of you!" Ye Chen yelled in rage. The fire dragon looked majestic and unstoppable as it tore through dozens of lightning dragons.
But the sheer volume of lightning dragons was too great. Now that he was submerged in the Sea of Thunder, for every dragon he destroyed, another took its place instantly. They were infinite and seemingly impossible to slay.
