The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3430: Where Is That Person? (Second Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Wei Ying hovered in the sky, her gaze fixed upon the Holy Cold Guardian Array that now tightly cocooned Ye Chen.
Though she felt a slight sense of relief, Wei Ying was well aware that the Tribulation lightning would not cease so easily. As she stood guard above, two fractures slowly materialized in the heavens.
Within the vast expanse of the Thunder Sea, Ye Chen appeared miniscule. Nevertheless, he remained as immovable as a mountain against the relentless deluge of Thunderbolt, standing tall with an unbending will.
Even though his vision of the outside world was obscured, Ye Chen detected a shift; the intensity of the Tribulation lightning had suddenly plummeted. After severing eight Thunderbolt Heavenly Chains, he observed that the Thunder Sea appeared to have contracted.
“Someone is intercepting the external Tribulation lightning and blocking all prying eyes!” Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with realization, knowing a benefactor was assisting him.
At that moment, the Thunder Sea, deprived of its source, grew momentarily still. Then, it suddenly surged with a suicidal, demonic frenzy, condensing all the Immortal Flames into a single point.
“A final struggle?” Ye Chen let out a cold snort. Behind him, the very fabric of space was being shredded by an unseen force, as if something were preparing to manifest.
The myriad bolts of Thunderbolt at his back began to dissolve. Ye Chen stared at the infinite Thunder Sea before him, where the rolling Immortal Flames were coalescing into an aura of total annihilation.
Slowly, countless arms began to reach out from the depths of the Thunder Sea.
“This is...” Ye Chen’s pupils contracted. These were spirits manifested from Immortal Flames, each one radiating a majesty that threatened to end the world.
“The peerless geniuses who fell under the Tribulation lightning in ages past!” the Netherworld Three Ancestors cried out in shock from within the Samsara Graveyard.
“Geniuses who perished during their Tribulation?” Ye Chen’s heart hammered against his ribs. This Tribulation lightning was capable of recording the essence of those it killed, resurrecting them through Immortal Flames to strike down future Cultivators.
“It is possible these are every genius who has ever succumbed to the Great Annihilation Thunder Tribulation,” the Huangquan Technique Ancestor remarked in a solemn tone.
In this interval, the Netherworld Three Ancestors had been pondering the true nature of this terrifying, world-ending Thunder Tribulation.
Ye Chen’s expression turned grim upon hearing this, yet a chilling smirk slowly touched his lips.
“What Great Annihilation Thunder Tribulation? What geniuses? If they could be killed, can they truly be called geniuses?”
Ye Chen sneered, his killing intent exploding as he faced the formidable spirits. “A pack of losers. If mere divine lightning thinks it can slay me, it is dreaming!”
As if responding to Ye Chen’s mockery, the churning Thunderbolt Sea shuddered. The geniuses reborn from Immortal Flames were consumed by rage.
Though their souls had long been wiped from existence, their lingering pride remained; as former geniuses, they would not tolerate such insults.
Radiant divine light erupted, and a primal force shook the foundations of time. The vast Hongmeng Aura flooded the area as the violent Immortal Flames went berserk.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. These Thunderbolt-born geniuses were actually capable of executing Hongmeng Ancient Techniques—a truly heaven-defying feat. Dozens of them unleashed these techniques simultaneously, appearing ready to shatter the firmament.
“Smoke Rain Covering Sky Mist!” One of the Thirty-Three Heavens Hongmeng Ancient Techniques, the signature power of the Ancient Feiyao Emperor, was suddenly cast by these lightning phantoms.
The boundless Immortal Flames transformed into a mist of Thunderbolt, falling as a torrential downpour of rain.
“Heavenly Gang Life-extinguishing Talisman!” Another Hongmeng Ancient Technique followed, as the supreme slaughtering aura of the Thirty-Six Heavens and Earth surged, manifesting seven Absolute Death Characters.
The Daoist Energy of the Hongmeng Ancient Techniques converged, causing the entire Thunder Sea to boil. Ye Chen felt a staggering pressure, as if the weight of the Ten Thousand Realms had been dropped upon his shoulders.
“Even if you all return to life, I shall suppress you!”
Ye Chen gave a furious roar, his invincible aura surging to its peak. Every bottle of Netherworld Water he possessed shattered, the contents being refined and absorbed instantly. A mysterious disk manifested behind him, and the Reincarnation Bloodline flowed forth, seemingly ready to swallow the heavens.
As the barrage of Hongmeng Ancient Techniques closed in, Ye Chen remained unfazed and composed. Because someone was masking the Heavenly Secrets outside, he had the courage to exert the full power of Reincarnation. This was the source of his confidence in surviving this Tribulation lightning.
“Begone!” Ye Chen bellowed. The world seemed to wail as the dual powers of annihilation and reincarnation rolled outward.
The numerous Hongmeng Ancient Techniques were extinguished without a sound, vanishing like smoke in the wind. The geniuses formed by the Tribulation lightning, though devoid of life, began to tremble.
It was not fear, but the sheer terror of the Reincarnation power—an invincible, world-destroying force that made the Immortal Flames within them seem to plead for mercy.
“Boom!” Every genius was wiped out in a flash. In that moment, an even more terrifying aura—a taboo from the primordial wilderness that existed before the dawn of heaven—slowly rose from the heart of the Thunder Sea.
Meanwhile, Wei Ying remained in the air as four more rifts tore open in the sky. They birthed countless phenomena: swords, spears, halberds, and axes. These divine weapons, forged from Thunderbolt, shrieked as they flew toward her.
The momentum of these weapons was staggering, shattering the very space they occupied and trailing shards of the void in their wake.
Wei Ying managed to close two rifts, but four more instantly took their place. The ferocity of the attacks pouring from the cracks intensified, pushing her to her limits and leaving her face pale.
Suddenly, a dragon’s roar vibrated through the world. A divine dragon manifested, tearing through the void to descend upon the Ancient Battlefield.
The dragon’s presence was incredibly noble and majestic, radiating a divine might that caused even Wei Ying’s heart to quiver.
Distracted for a split second, Wei Ying was struck by the rain of Thunderbolt weapons. Seeing this, the divine dragon acted.
A massive dragon claw swiped at the void, releasing a tide of power that crushed the incoming Thunderbolt weapons. The dragon then lunged toward one of the celestial rifts, obliterating it with peerless strength.
“Who are you?” Relieved that the newcomer was an ally, Wei Ying watched as the divine dragon shifted into the form of a young girl.
“Ye Luo?” Wei Ying was stunned; she had not expected Ye Luo to appear here.
Ye Luo’s expression was icy, yet her eyes betrayed a sense of inner conflict. Though her memories were suppressed, she had felt Ye Chen’s peril while she was in the midst of her cultivation.
Despite her desire to remain detached, a voice deep within her soul had commanded her to come here and shield him.
Ye Luo had attempted to ignore the feeling and focus on her training, but the distraction had nearly caused a Qi Deviation, forcing her to intervene.
“Hmph!” Ye Luo snorted at Wei Ying, leaving the latter confused.
“Where is he?” Ye Luo asked, her eyes already locked onto the massive sphere of lightning. She could feel that the person she was driven to protect was trapped within that Thunder Ball.
