The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3453: Terrifying Heritage (Fourth Update)

"Master, this location truly stands out. The tunnel I investigated brimmed with endless mystical pills, their scent revitalizing the sacred spirit," Little Gold exclaimed with thrill.

"My investigated path held plenty of heavenly arms, every one razor-sharp and embodying superior combat skills. The Netherworld Hall's groundwork over time is genuinely outstanding," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor remarked, his gaze burning fiercely.

"All of them look like prime treasures," Ye Chen commented, a faint smile playing on his mouth as he gazed down at the leftover Asuras with the bearing of a ruler.

"You ought to join your allies now."

At those words, Ye Chen struck abruptly, akin to a gale surging without warning. The Destruction Divine Dao burst forth right away, and a single sword swing unleashed a torrent of blinding blade glow, which promptly cleaved through every surviving Asura.

"Let's head in and check the riches hidden in this tunnel," Ye Chen suggested, sheathing the Slaughter Sword while eyeing the stone gate he'd freshly unlocked, beyond which gleamed a multitude of items pulsing with Dao Integration.

Entering the chamber past the stone gate, Ye Chen arched a brow. The space was decorated with luminous artworks, the scenes inside seeming lifelike and tangible, while radiating a potent Hongmeng essence that marked them as exceptional.

"Could these be Hongmeng paintings?"

Little Gold showed some astonishment, since Hongmeng paintings demand heaven and earth's approval for the Hongmeng Energy to make the illustrated elements come alive.

Those who can craft Hongmeng paintings earn the title of Painting Saints, having ascended to the heights of artistic mastery and achieved saintly status!

That said, even a Painting Saint can only produce a handful of Hongmeng paintings over a lifetime, because it calls for rare chances, the right mindset, and flawless skill to hit that ultimate condition, which isn't always assured, rendering Hongmeng paintings extremely scarce.

Right now, the chamber housed more than a dozen Hongmeng paintings, their thick Hongmeng Energy nearly forming liquid beads. Every artwork shimmered like a portal to an enchanted realm.

"This Hongmeng painting depicts a Thousand Army and Ten Thousand Horses scene, showcasing a commander radiating unbeatable presence."

Spotting the main artwork, Ye Chen's heart stirred; he grasped it, wiped away Mo Xue Ming’s soul imprint, and poured in his own Spiritual Energy.

"Boom!"

In a flash, thunderous cries rang out, a vast wave of slaughter aura exploded, turning the surroundings into a warzone instantly, with battle fervor surging and valiant troops alongside a chief staring heavenward.

"Master!"

Moments later, the commander and his fighters noticed Ye Chen and dropped to one knee in homage.

Such is the wonder of Hongmeng paintings, where the contents can shift into the real world, rousing them to fulfill missions.

A Thousand Army and Ten Thousand Horses Painting equals a formidable legion; Ye Chen even detected that the commander inside projected unbeatable presence and fighting prowess, hitting the apex of the Heavenly God Realm.

The vitality in the painting has no tie to the artist's own might; it's heaven and earth's validation that bestows strength to the figures, assigning them power based on their portrayal.

The commander's presence and level distinctions stem from the creator's masterful brushwork, which won acclaim from the cosmos, thus granting that aura and might.

"Quite remarkable," Ye Chen affirmed with a nod; possessing this Hongmeng painting would let the Demon Suppression Hall unleash it on ordinary fiends, crushing them with ease!

As for the absent Demon Emperor, it wouldn't suffice against that.

Should he return to Huaxia, Ye Chen could station it there as a guardian to secure enduring tranquility for the nation.

"Master, what commands do you have?" The commander inquired deferentially, while picking up on Asura Qi beyond, proposing, "My forces sense enemies nearby; shall we wipe them out?"

The commander radiated unshakeable certainty, brushing off the foes' count, brimming with conviction that victory was inevitable.

"No requirement; I've already taken care of them," Ye Chen answered with a serene grin.

Hearing that, the commander displayed deeper respect for Ye Chen, declaring, "Truly a lord of supreme might, unrivaled across the lands."

"Didn't think you'd flatter me like that," Ye Chen chuckled, sensing that these figures from the Hongmeng painting felt just like living entities.

"My words come straight from the soul," the commander responded sincerely, "Gazing at your Qi Fortune, it's evident the lord is unparalleled, fated to rule over this domain!"

All at once, ominous clouds gathered overhead Ye Chen, lightning boomed, as if the heavens disapproved of the commander's statement and prepared to deliver retribution.

"Enough, return now," Ye Chen instructed, unperturbed, smoothly dispatching the commander and troops back into the artwork.

Once the warriors reentered the painting, they reverted to motionless depictions, though their gazes retained a spark of Spiritual Energy, and overhead, the clouds dispersed as the Heavenly Might withdrew.

Clutching the Thousand Army and Ten Thousand Horses Painting, Ye Chen felt astonishment, unprepared for the illustrated souls to wield arts for reading Qi Fortune, acknowledging his uniqueness, which was praiseworthy.

Next, Ye Chen and his allies examined the other Hongmeng paintings, coming to sixteen in total, ten of which centered on conflict, rousing their subjects for combat.

Within those, Ye Chen pinpointed three Divine Emperor Painting figures, the commander from the Thousand Army and Ten Thousand Horses Painting included, forming a potent battle force that would vastly bolster the Demon Suppression Hall.

The other six artworks portrayed scenery and plants, less mighty than the war motifs, yet the elements shown brought special advantages.

A single Spiritual Spring Painting could summon a fountain brimming with vital essence, offering profound calm, helping those in Deviation stay aware, and the rest each carried unique appeals.

Though these artworks might provide modest gains for Ye Chen and his group personally, they promised great worth in fortifying the Demon Suppression Hall's base.

"The Netherworld Hall's heritage is truly superb; Mo Xue Ming clearly made the most of his time," Ye Chen observed, after securing all the riches from the three tunnels, turning Mo Xue Ming’s long-hoarded wealth into his possession.

Beyond the sixteen Hongmeng paintings, the chambers overflowed with endless mystical pills, heavenly arms, and combat tomes, all dazzling and superb, marking a truly massive haul.
