The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3450: The Untouchable Heavenly Secrets (First Update)

"Master of Inner Demon?"

As Ye Chen uttered those words, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Little Gold both showed solemn looks on their faces.

A supreme powerhouse from the Outer Realm like the Master of Inner Demon—how was it possible for him to show up in this place?

Luckily, Ye Chen had masked his features a bit when he stepped into the Netherworld Hall.

Ordinary folks couldn't easily sense the power of the Samsara Graveyard!

Besides, Ye Chen's aura differed sharply from that of the previous Samsara Master, even though their looks had some resemblance. It would be tough to spot without getting really close.

"Are you Ye Chen?" The Master of Inner Demon fixed his gaze on Ye Chen. A veil of mist cloaked his form, hiding his face and showing just his dark robe.

The Master of Inner Demon's tone was eerie, as if pulling dark desires straight from the depths of one's soul. Each gesture he made held a sinister edge.

"Truly impressive—I never thought a talent like you would rise in the Divine Kingdom..." The Master of Inner Demon's voice echoed once more, with gleams shining through the haze in his eyes.

"But I'm claiming Mo Xue Ming, and there's nothing you can do to halt me!"

Confidence filled the Master of Inner Demon's declaration, like his command was the unbreakable decree of the heavens.

"He poses a danger to me, so he has to perish right now!" Ye Chen stared coldly at the Master of Inner Demon, fully aware that while this foe was unbeatable and a top entity from the Outer Realm, the presence in the Divine Kingdom was merely an incarnation.

Even so, if the real body of the Master of Inner Demon stood there, Ye Chen would still strive to eliminate Mo Xue Ming. After pushing this far, surrender was out of the question.

"Fine, let's see you try!"

The Master of Inner Demon burst into laughter and lunged forward without delay.

"Ba Dao Slash!"

Yet another massive sword beam burst forth, far more fearsome than the last, as though this strike could rip apart the whole cosmos!

"This is bad!" A flicker of alarm crossed Little Gold's features, and the rest of the group stiffened, rushing into action at once.

"Boom!"

Limitless Great Power detonated wildly, sending fierce shockwaves blasting outward in every direction, and right then, the Master of Inner Demon's voice rang out again.

"Emperor’s Light Flying Sword!"

An imposing sword glow, appearing utterly unstoppable, shot out abruptly, halting time in its path. Boundless winds whipped up, whipping into a colossal tempest in an instant, roaring alongside the advancing blade.

"Gengjin Iron Wall!"

"Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven!"

Ye Chen bellowed, while the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and his allies surged forward. United, they managed to fend off the Emperor’s Light Flying Sword.

The fierce blast kicked up a towering cloud of debris, and Ye Chen along with the others burst through it, only to find the Master of Inner Demon and Mo Xue Ming had vanished.

"Damn it!"

Ye Chen drove his sword into the earth with fury, carving out a vast fissure, but it did nothing to ease the rage burning inside him.

They had been inches from ending Mo Xue Ming, yet the Master of Inner Demon had snatched him away—an outrage Ye Chen couldn't stomach!

"Ye Chen, stay calm." The Sky-covering Demon Emperor approached Ye Chen now, staring intently at the point where the Master of Inner Demon and Mo Xue Ming had faded from sight.

"The Master of Inner Demon's might is beyond ordinary; even his clone demands respect. We're both worn out badly at this point, and facing him head-on might not go our way."

"From what I see, the Master of Inner Demon likely can't stir up too much chaos in the Divine Kingdom or act without restraint, or we wouldn't have made it out alive—that's why he grabbed the opening to flee. A full fight could doom the whole Divine Kingdom."

"I get it." Ye Chen gave a slow nod. He grasped this well; though bold, he wasn't foolish. He knew exactly the caliber of the Master of Inner Demon.

This foe stood against the Upper Realm Empress. Tangling with such a power before reaching full strength would be a grave error.

Still, Ye Chen's bloodline and instincts churned with unease right now, surging wildly and igniting a fierce urge to slay, pushing him to wipe out the Master of Inner Demon no matter the price.

This drive came from the core of his being, something Ye Chen couldn't hold back, suddenly urging him to activate the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye.

Though the Master of Inner Demon had fled with Mo Xue Ming, a voice deep in Ye Chen's mind, that relentless urge, wouldn't release the foe, compelling him to divine the Heavenly Secrets!

"Boom!"

A thunderous rumble exploded across the heavens, and Ye Chen's sight pierced through the boundless emptiness and the River of Time, crossing myriad threads of Karma, yet all traces tied to the Master of Inner Demon and Mo Xue Ming lay shrouded by some unseen barrier, wrapped in fog that blocked clear sight no matter Ye Chen's efforts.

"Ye Chen, stop!"

The Heavenly Demon Bright Eye was a secret art bestowed on Ye Chen by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. Spotting this, he instantly knew Ye Chen's intent and called out in haste. The Karma linked to the Master of Inner Demon ran deep, and forcing a glimpse would exact a heavy toll.

"Reveal yourself!" Ye Chen brushed aside the caution, yelling as he poured every ounce of strength to shatter the hidden obstruction. Slowly, the forms of the Master of Inner Demon and Mo Xue Ming came into focus.

"Boom!" Thunder crashed violently overhead, a gigantic bolt of dark lightning crashing down, as if determined to pulverize the meddling Ye Chen to bits.

Little Gold sprang into the air without a second thought, slashing the black lightning apart in two.

Just as Ye Chen neared unraveling the Karma and exposing the reality, darkness swallowed his vision, blood gushed from his lips, and thick, shadowy blood streamed from his eyes.

"Cough..." Ye Chen coughed uncontrollably, his breathing ragged, struck by a brutal backlash.

"Looks like the chance has slipped away." Ye Chen's eyes snapped open, a burst of Divine Radiance flaring out to instantly vaporize and cleanse the dark blood.

With a profound stare, he surveyed the desolate wasteland that used to be the Netherworld Hall, now completely razed.

"Mo Xue Ming's injuries will worsen soon; even if I do nothing, death awaits him. But under the Master of Inner Demon's grasp, who knows what might happen..."

Ye Chen mused with a heavy expression. The Master of Inner Demon commanded boundless arts as a peerless force from the Outer Realm, surely possessing ways to rescue Mo Xue Ming.

"No need to worry, though." Ye Chen strode calmly over the wreckage. Should Mo Xue Ming get saved, he probably wouldn't expose himself until he'd claimed Ye Chen's Qi Fortune.

After all, Mo Xue Ming harbored a fearsome goal, aspiring to play as a Chess Player rather than just a piece on the board.

Claiming the Samsara Master's Qi Fortune alone could launch Mo Xue Ming to new heights, turning him from a lowly bird into a majestic phoenix. So, Mo Xue Ming would exhaust every trick to seize that Qi Fortune while keeping his own secrets hidden.

His robes billowing in the wind, Ye Chen, now clear on the situation, positioned himself amid the ruins, eyes fixed on the vast crater ahead where the molten lava had cooled, uncovering a stone gate at the pit's deepest core.

"What is that?" The Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Little Gold moved closer, while the Nine Nether Tiger's energy churned chaotically, pulsing without cease.
