The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3438: 3438: Brief Clarity! (Third Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
A faint glimmer of murderous intent flickered within the girl’s eyes.
She had realized that the woman behind her had been shadowing her movements for a considerable time!
In truth, Wei Ying had been tracking Ye Luo’s trail ever since she emerged from the Ancient Battlefield.
She had sensed Ye Luo’s strange behavior from the very start.
Furthermore, Ye Luo’s state appeared unstable, prompting Wei Ying to follow her closely; now, she observed Ye Luo’s frame beginning to shudder violently ahead.
“Something is definitely wrong.” Doubt swirled within Wei Ying’s beautiful eyes as she noticed that Ye Luo’s aura was becoming increasingly erratic.
While moving forward, Ye Luo suddenly jerked to a halt. A chaotic, murderous aura erupted from her, and she lashed out, blasting a nearby mountain peak with her bare hand.
“Boom!”
Under the force of that single palm, the massive peak crumbled instantly. The ground shook as the cries of countless living beings filled the air, turning the area into a scene resembling a terrifying ghost realm brought to the Human World.
“Luo, what are you doing?” Startled, Wei Ying rushed forward, only to find Ye Luo’s features twisted in agony. Her eyes were a battlefield, flickering between cold killing intent and a desperate struggle for control.
“Kill!”
Upon spotting Wei Ying, Ye Luo attacked without a second thought. A Heavenly Punishment Chain lashed out abruptly, saturated with a horrifying aura of Disaster Energy.
“You have entered a demonized state! You must calm down at once!” Recognizing the signs, Wei Ying shouted a sharp warning. Her figure blurred as she used her sword to parry the Heavenly Punishment Chain, maintaining a safe distance from Ye Luo.
“I…” At the sound of Wei Ying’s voice, a moment of clarity returned to Ye Luo’s eyes, but it was fleeting. In the next heartbeat, a tide of endless bloodlust surged once more.
“Who are you? Why have you been stalking me!” Ye Luo glared at Wei Ying with icy eyes, several more Heavenly Punishment Chains manifesting behind her back.
Faced with Ye Luo’s hostility, Wei Ying’s expression grew grave. Just as she prepared to defend against the incoming storm of attacks, Ye Luo suddenly coughed up a spray of fresh blood.
“This is bad; you have to regulate your breathing immediately.” Wei Ying’s face paled. Ye Luo’s internal Qi was in total chaos; if it wasn't brought under control, she risked a Body Explosion that would surely kill her.
“Everyone must die!” Ignoring the warning, Ye Luo disregarded her internal injuries and lunged forward, intent on slaughtering Wei Ying.
Wei Ying’s gaze hardened with resolve. She bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a single drop of blood essence.
“Nine Cold Heaven Skill!” A divine light ignited in Wei Ying’s eyes as an infinite chill flooded the area. The majestic pressure of a Supreme Emperor from ancient times burst forth, instantly freezing the heavens and the earth.
Wei Ying’s blood essence transformed into a beam of frigid light, shooting toward Ye Luo and enveloping her completely.
“Serenity!”
Wei Ying extended a finger, placing a trace of Juehan aura between Ye Luo’s eyebrows. The rampaging spiritual energy within Ye Luo’s body came to a sudden standstill.
“What… what happened to me?” Her sanity restored, Ye Luo looked at Wei Ying with a confused expression.
“Hurry, focus on your breathing. You fell into a demonized state,” Wei Ying urged.
The Nine Heavens Cold Technique could grant a brief window of lucidity to those who had lost their minds, but its effects were temporary and would eventually fade.
Hearing this, Ye Luo pushed her questions aside. Sensing the turbulent state of her internal spiritual energy, she quickly circulated her Cultivation method to stabilize her condition.
After a long interval, Ye Luo finally moved past the danger of Deviation. When she opened her eyes, they shone with a clear light.
“Who are you?” Ye Luo stared at Wei Ying. A hint of sorrow flickered in her gaze—a sadness she couldn't explain, rising from the deepest parts of her soul.
“What exactly has happened to you?” Wei Ying had sensed something was amiss from the moment she first saw Ye Luo, which was why she had kept her under observation.
Right then, an inexplicably vast dragon might radiated from Ye Luo, causing Wei Ying to feel a heavy sense of oppression.
“My memories have been suppressed by my own bloodline.” Pain flashed in Ye Luo’s eyes. With her past erased, she was being transformed into a heartless killing tool, born solely for the sake of vengeance.
As fragmented images flashed through her mind, Ye Luo realized the nature of her actions during the period her memory was sealed.
“Brother Ye…” A single tear escaped Ye Luo’s eye. She felt a wave of relief that she had been there to help when Ye Chen was facing his tribulation; had anything happened to him, she could never have forgiven herself.
“A bloodline seal?” Wei Ying was taken aback. Connecting the dots with the powerful dragon might she felt, she began to understand the situation.
“Yes. I have awakened my bloodline, but I am unable to fight the seal contained within it. It won’t be long before I revert to that mindless state.” Ye Luo’s voice was thick with suffering.
Looking at the name carved into her palm, Ye Luo felt a sharp pang in her chest, as if a massive hammer were striking her heart, making it difficult to breathe.
“Is there no method to shatter this seal?” Wei Ying frowned. She wondered what kind of terrifying bloodline could impose such a dominant seal; the secrets Ye Luo carried were clearly immense.
“There is a way.” Ye Luo’s smile was bitter. “Actually, there are two. One is for my own power to reach a level high enough to break the seal from within, but the requirements are too extreme. It might take over ten thousand years to achieve that.”
“And the second way?” Wei Ying pressed.
“The Sacred Origin Heart,” Ye Luo answered, her expression turning complicated. Knowledge of this object had only recently surfaced in her mind.
Wei Ying’s face shifted at the mention of the name. The Sacred Origin Heart was a legendary entity from the ancient era, said to bestow the most terrifying and forbidden of powers.
Such power was rumored to be capable of shattering heaven and earth, making its wielder invincible. However, the Sacred Origin Heart had only appeared once in the ancient past, with no traces of it left since.
“The legends say the Sacred Origin Heart was lost somewhere in the Outer Realm…” Wei Ying observed Ye Luo intently.
“That is correct. My awakened memories confirm those legends.” Ye Luo shook her head with a resigned smile.
“But whether those records are accurate is unknown. Even if they are, the Outer Realm is an endless expanse of vast resources—how could I possibly find it?”
“Besides, if such a holy relic were to appear, every major figure in the Outer Realm would fight for it. I likely wouldn't even have the chance to claim it.”
Despair colored Ye Luo’s words as thunder rumbled in the distance. She suddenly spoke with urgency: “Promise me this: you must protect Brother Ye. If the day comes where I lose myself entirely and turn against him, you must kill me without a second thought!”
“Let us hope it never comes to that.” Wei Ying remained silent for a moment. Ye Chen was vital to her as well; if Ye Luo ever truly tried to harm him, she would be forced to act.
Suddenly, a flash of world-ending killing intent ignited in Ye Luo’s eyes. She gasped out: “You have to leave, I…”
“Die!” An explosion of dragon might erupted. Several Heavenly Punishment Chains shot forward, wreathed in the terrifying aura of a Heavenly Calamity, striking out with mindless fury.
