The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3448: The Choice of Life and Death (Sixth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
"Boom!"
Pierced straight through by the Annihilation Shura Light, the Netherworld Gang Qi shattered apart, and right after that, the Asura Netherworld God Slash came roaring in, cleaving through the Netherworld Gang Qi amid a thunderous crash.
"Puff!" A gush of blood erupted from Ye Chen's mouth as a fierce backlash hit him hard.
Right then, the Annihilation Shura Light smashed into the Gengjin Iron Wall, which held out for just a second before bursting into fragments, jolting Ye Chen's frame again.
At the same time, the divine abilities from Little Gold and his allies clashed against the Annihilation Shura Light, while the Asura Netherworld God Slash barreled forward too.
"Boom!"
A ferocious blast of ruin exploded without warning, resembling a barrage of stars detonating all at once, swallowing the whole Netherworld Hall in its fury.
Ye Chen, Fang Yuan, Mo Xue Ming—regardless of alliance—got hammered by the unstoppable destructive force, coughing up blood and hurtling back through the air.
Across the skies and lands, a horrific blast birthed a swirling vortex of energy that consumed all in its path, wiping out thousands of miles around the former site of the Netherworld Hall and blotting it from the map entirely.
"Ah!" With his wounds bursting wide open, Mo Xue Ming beheld the chaos and lost all sanity, howling raggedly amid the impartial terror of the blast, his gaze burning with hatred that felt almost tangible.
Ye Chen and his group fared no better, the savage shockwave rattling their organs without mercy, their forms wrapped in glowing divine radiance as they poured every ounce of power into withstanding the apocalyptic force.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen and his allies crashed down to the earth, their fall gouging out vast, bottomless furrows in the ground.
Meanwhile, Mo Xue Ming tumbled down sharply as well, soaked in his own blood, his Asura Armor cracked and faded, though a wild red gleam still danced in his eyes.
What was once the Netherworld Hall now lay as a barren wasteland, the terrain caved in, featuring a colossal crater where bubbling lava swirled below.
"Cough..." A stifled cough from Mo Xue Ming echoed out, dark fumes billowing from the crater, mingled with subtle demonic growls.
In the instant that followed, a massive stone beast, blazing red and molded from searing molten rock, burst forth from the crater.
Scorching hot, the stone beast warped the very air nearby, its fiery red eyes sweeping over the world, locking onto Ye Chen, Mo Xue Ming, and the rest.
"..." The stone beast's bold strut evaporated in a flash, overwhelmed by the fearsome presence of those around it; it shrank back, too scared to challenge any of them.
"Plop!"
Without delay, the stone beast plunged back into the lava, refusing to surface once more, and the other beings in the molten depths held back too, thrown into a frenzy by its hasty escape.
"Mo Xue Ming, do you have any last words?"
Just then, Ye Chen advanced sword in hand, floating high over the lava crater, the thick black haze splitting open before him like an unseen shield guarded his path.
Through relentless combat, Ye Chen had built an unyielding presence, his sharp gaze peering down, Hongmeng Sound Symbols echoing nearby, as he towered over the ashen Mo Xue Ming from on high.
From that latest clash, Ye Chen and his allies, along with Mo Xue Ming, had taken heavy damage. But Mo Xue Ming's prior wounds remained untreated, making his state utterly dire and the gap between them glaring.
"Ye Chen!" Mo Xue Ming fixed a venomous stare on Ye Chen, as if he could slay him with sheer will, grinding his teeth in furious rage.
Enveloped by Asura Qi, Mo Xue Ming rose gradually to his feet, a mocking grin twisting his lips. "Do you really think you can kill me?"
"Accept your fate, today you will surely die." Ye Chen let out a icy scoff. No matter Mo Xue Ming's past dominance, he now teetered on the brink, fated to meet his end at Ye Chen's blade, his very essence obliterated!
"Hmph, you’re too arrogant!" Fury shook Mo Xue Ming's frame at Ye Chen's words, and the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe hovering at his back flared with boundless radiance.
Wails from the Heavenly Dao rang out, surging Hongmeng Energy flooded in, and the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe grew larger, shining brilliantly as immense might burst free.
"Not good, he wants to sacrifice the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe, stop him!"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor's expression twisted in alarm, his voice booming with urgency.
Ye Chen grasped Mo Xue Ming's plan too, but stopping it proved impossible now. After all, nobody had foreseen such desperate resolve in Mo Xue Ming to offer up the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe.
This artifact was one of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Treasures, after all; Mo Xue Ming's madness knew no bounds.
"Boom!"
Boundless Hongmeng Energy poured into Mo Xue Ming's form, his presence surging like that of an unbeatable War God, propelling him back to his zenith!
Swirling around Mo Xue Ming came immense Asura Qi, with Asura Talismans manifesting and glowing as though granting him favor. The fractured Asura Armor reformed, the Asura Horn pulsed with vitality, and a cataclysmic aura exploded outward!
"Ye Chen, now who will die?"
With a thunderous bellow, Mo Xue Ming unleashed his stormy aura, the Authority of the Lord of Asura cloaking him, positioning him as the heart of creation, where sun, moon, and stars orbited in awe at this instant.
Seeing this unfold, Ye Chen's face grew solemn, stunned that Mo Xue Ming hid such a trick for the finale; ignoring the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe had been his misstep.
Still, for all his renewed menace, Mo Xue Ming's core wounds stayed unhealed by the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe. Though a Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Treasure held immense power, his deep-seated damage couldn't be mended so simply.
"You’re already marked for death!" Ye Chen's eyes filled with disdain, akin to a supreme ruler eyeing a pitiful insect tumbling into the void.
"Your injuries have erupted, and sacrificing the Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe is merely suppressing them. Once the sacrificial power dissipates, your injuries will rebound, and you will perish instantly!"
"So what if they do!"
Lost to insanity, Mo Xue Ming glared at Ye Chen, his Asura Qi churning wildly, while eerie Asuras snarled viciously toward him.
"You forced me to this point! Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!"
In a ragged roar, Mo Xue Ming's eyes gleamed with insatiable desire. "Moreover, if I can kill you and seize your fate, the Supreme Fate of the Samsara Master, these meager injuries are nothing. Perhaps I can ascend to the pinnacle in one leap, invincible across the world!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Mo Xue Ming launched his assault, giving Ye Chen and the others no chance to respond.
"Asura Great Handprint!"
Asura Qi gathered into a devastating crimson palm of enormous size, thundering down from above like it aimed to shatter the heavens.
"Evil Ghosts Possession!"
"Asura Netherworld God Slash!"
"Asura Heavenly Prison!"
"Annihilation Shura Light!"
Fully unleashed, Mo Xue Ming unleashed five devastating blade strikes in a blink, Hongmeng Energy crashing like tidal surges, infused with the primal forces of his divine techniques.
His ferocious aura ravaged the skies and earth as Mo Xue Ming pushed to his limits, only for his wounds to flare up completely in the very next breath.
