The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3455: Yin Yang Divine Palace! (Sixth Update)

Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Ye Chen and his companions looted the Netherworld Palace's treasure vault, securing valuable artifacts despite failing to eliminate Mo Xue Ming. Intrigued by a chained statue at the vault's depths, forged from soil infused with Source aura, Ye Chen unleashed powerful techniques to shatter it, revealing a gravely injured elder trapped inside for countless years. Returning to the Demon Suppression Hall, Ye Chen refined a potent pill to revive the elder, who awoke and knelt in reverence, hailing him as the Samsara Master.

Ye Chen's face shifted subtly at the sound of that voice. The elder somehow recognized him; Mo Xue Ming had confined him in this spot, yet for what purpose? What hidden mystery lurked beneath it all?

Meanwhile, Ye Chen realized the elder lacked any cultivation base at all, reduced to a frail senior, weathered by endless years of imprisonment. Without delay, he flicked his wrist, unleashing a rush of spiritual power that hoisted the man up from the dirt.

"You know who I am?" Ye Chen stared into the elder's gaze and inquired.

"I've laid eyes on your image! Sure, there are some differences, but that faint bond with my blood stirs unmistakably!" The elder bobbed his head in thrill, his tone quivering.

Even as Ye Chen maintained his steady poise, the elder detected a resonant presence radiating from him, the overwhelming dignity of the Supreme Sovereign, which sent shivers of elation through his frame.

Ye Chen gave a nod upon hearing this. The elder didn't recall his former identity, only the picture and that odd bloodline tie.

"Who might you be? What reason keeps you locked away here?" Ye Chen pressed further.

"I'm a Messenger from the Yin Yang Divine Palace. In the ancient conflict, my cultivation got shattered. I planned to withdraw to the First Divine Country, watching over the Ye family's ancient territory, but Mo Xue Ming tracked me down and seized me, compelling me to disclose the Yin Yang Divine Palace's position."

As the elder recounted those bygone days, tears welled in his eyes, brimming with deep grudge and sorrow.

Ye Chen's heart stirred oddly at the elder's tale, particularly those words 'Yin Yang Divine Palace', sparking a strange sense of recognition that baffled him deeply.

"Tell me about this Yin Yang Divine Palace." Ye Chen knew full well he'd never encountered such a group before, but that odd familiarity hinted at ties to his former existence.

Ye Chen glanced over at Ye Lingtian, expecting some clue now that fragments of his recollections had returned.

Disappointment hit Ye Chen, though, since Ye Lingtian obviously held no knowledge of the Yin Yang Divine Palace and merely shook his head in bewilderment under Ye Chen's look.

"Samsara Master, you yourself created the Yin Yang Divine Palace, you..."

The elder cut himself short, fixing his stare on Ye Chen. The resemblance to his old form was striking in certain aspects, with wisps of Reincarnation Qi leaking out, though he fell short of his former grandeur, showing clear variances.

"Samsara Master, you've gone through reincarnation..." The elder's eyes bulged in astonishment, then he clamped his hand over his lips, aware his slip might spell disaster for Ye Chen.

"You're right." Ye Chen inclined his head gradually. Just because he wasn't his old self anymore, so many details stayed foggy. The vast plot from his prior life—Ye Chen had glimpsed merely its surface.

"Ah, that explains it." The elder let out a heavy puff of vital breath, then went on, "The Yin Yang Divine Palace stood as a hidden force you built in those days."

"What purpose did this group serve?" A keen spark lit Ye Chen's eyes, grasping that his past incarnation had formed it, probably as a backup scheme from before.

With the energy rippling wildly, Ye Chen's mighty presence burst free, a dominating force whirling around, like the Supreme Sovereign reborn, filling the elder with renewed reverence.

Snapping back to focus, the elder hastened to clarify, "Master, I truly have no idea what the Yin Yang Divine Palace handles. Its followers and locations escape me entirely. Among the Ten Thousand Realms, it ranks as the ultimate riddle!"

Reduced to a mere mortal, the elder's advanced age left him gasping after mere sentences. He caught his breath, then added, "Despite being the palace's Messenger, across my whole life, I've carried just a single dispatch."

Ye Chen zeroed in on the vital detail: a single dispatch over an entire lifetime, suggesting the addressee carried immense weight.

"Who received that dispatch?" Ye Chen demanded promptly.

"It went to a figure from the Upper Realm." The elder answered, "Her name is Qi Yunshu. Since it was my only task, that recipient sticks in my mind clearly."

"Qi Yunshu..." Ye Chen's look wavered. As the name escaped his lips, a strange power stirred across the realm, leaving Ye Chen uncertain if it meant good or ill, but it clearly marked the name's bearer as profoundly vital, her mention shaking the Heavenly Dao rules.

Ye Chen's top worry centered on whether Qi Yunshu tied to the Yin Yang Divine Palace. Should she, she could possess crucial hints from his earlier life, ones Ye Chen needed to claim.

Ye Chen dug deeper with the elder, but letdown crept in. The elder couldn't verify Qi Yunshu's link to the Yin Yang Divine Palace.

In these circumstances, for further details, Ye Chen had no choice but to seek out Qi Yunshu. Yet her stance as foe or friend remained unknown, demanding careful steps.

All at once, Ye Chen sensed a bizarre power in the skies quaking and bursting loose, while the booming clash of Heavenly Dao principles rang in his mind!

"What's going on?" The Sky-covering Demon Emperor and his companions also picked up on this eerie energy, their faces tightening.

"It's triggered by that name." Ye Chen grasped it instantly. He shifted his view to the elder, and sure enough, the overwhelming strange power clustered thickest around him.

This power seethed in rage, building its anger, ready to unleash devastation shortly. Once it did, it could shatter the skies and shatter the lands; the elder, stripped of cultivation and ordinary now, surely couldn't endure it.

"Master, I..." The elder felt the wrongness too in that instant, his features twisting as he eyed Ye Chen.

"Rest easy, I won't allow any hurt to befall you." Ye Chen assured him.

"Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven!"

Ye Chen bellowed fiercely, and a radiant Buddha Light Barrier sprang up around the elder at once, blocking the unseen pressure from beyond.

Yet in that very moment, thunder crashed through the heavens, plunging the firmament into inky blackness in a flash. Terrifying bolts of lightning exploded with world-shattering might, churning wildly amid the cloud ocean.

This marked the skies' wrath, the principles howling in fury, and Ye Chen, feeling this onslaught, deemed it far deadlier than his breakthrough to the Chaos Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, amplified countlessfold in horror!

The summoned thunder above instilled a bone-deep chill in Ye Chen. A single strike from it would wipe out not just him, but the whole Demon Suppression Hall and the entire Divine Kingdom in a blink.

"This..." You Ying Ghost Weasel gaped at the heavens in dread, never before witnessing such a horrifying Tribulation lightning.

As the thunder swelled, boundless waves of destructive intent poured down, as if set to obliterate the full Divine Kingdom in seconds, erasing every soul from existence without mercy.

Ye Chen's visage darkened gravely. He'd vowed the elder's safety, but this Tribulation lightning defied his resistance, potentially vaporizing even him on contact.

"Master!"

Right then, the elder whirled toward Ye Chen, calling out.

"Master, speaking that entity's name brought this on me. So the heavens seek my punishment, and your choice to shield me has summoned this Tribulation lightning!"
