The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3460: Peak Showdown at Myriad Gods Mountain! (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Mo Xue Ming's gaze wavered slightly. Should he manage to grasp this superior edition of the Ba Dao Celestial Book and fuse it alongside the Asura Netherworld God Slash, the resulting might would shake the entire world, leaving nothing unmatched beneath the skies.
Though Xuanyuan Moxie wielded the Immortal Slaying Sword, the strongest among the Four Immortal Slaying Swords in the Small Origin Weapons category, it surely couldn't rival him in strength.
Yet Mo Xue Ming lacked assurance in mastering this alternate section of the Ba Dao Celestial Book. Source Technique embodies the core essence of worldly power, and grasping it proves far from simple. Despite Mo Xue Ming's exceptional aptitude for understanding, he couldn't promise victory.
"I'll give it everything I've got!" Mo Xue Ming clenched his teeth, as Asura Qi erupted around him, surging outward in every direction, making the sky and ground quake right then.
He extended both hands reverently to accept the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and turned to the Master of Inner Demon, saying, "My thanks to you, Senior Inner Demon."
"Mmm." The Master of Inner Demon replied coolly, "Train diligently, and after one month passes, I'll provide additional aids to help you completely crush Xuanyuan Moxie."
Upon finishing those words, the Master of Inner Demon's form disappeared in an instant. Mo Xue Ming stared intently at the spot where the Master of Inner Demon had vanished, his mind filled with swirling ideas.
To eradicate Xuanyuan Moxie entirely, and through claiming Xuanyuan Moxie's Qi Fortune, achieve unmatched dominance across the heavens, followed by slaying Ye Chen and taking all the Supreme Fate belonging to the Samsara Master and the Heavenly Dao Master, allowing him to rise as the ultimate Chess Player.
Not even the Master of Inner Demon would surpass him then, given the vast scale of Ye Chen's destiny. Capturing it would let him soar to greatness in a single night!
Calming the turbulent notions in his mind, Mo Xue Ming scanned his environment. Ever since reviving, he hadn't paused to take in his surroundings, but now he possessed the moment to do so.
Yet the instant he probed, Mo Xue Ming realized this was a enigmatic realm, with the hall forming a compact Little World from which escape seemed impossible.
"Is this perhaps the Outer Realm or the Upper Realm?" Mo Xue Ming creased his brow, though he soon rejected the notion, figuring it must be the hidden domain controlled by the Master of Inner Demon.
"Still, how will I send a challenge letter to Xuanyuan Moxie like this?" Mo Xue Ming furrowed his forehead once more, since the Master of Inner Demon hadn't explained an exit from the grand hall prior to leaving, leaving him uncertain whether he resided in the Divine Kingdom or the Outer Realm.
"No need to fret."
In that instant, a grand and authoritative voice rang out, prompting Mo Xue Ming to lift his head. The Master of Inner Demon's tone emanated from atop the statues within the hall, as every statue parted its lips to speak directly to Mo Xue Ming.
"I'll dispatch the challenge letter for you. Just concentrate on your training. Once the month ends, I'll transport you to Myriad Gods Mountain. You have to annihilate Xuanyuan Moxie there!"
The booming voice filled the entire hall, while the might emanating from each statue caused the heavens and earth to shudder. Mo Xue Ming felt profoundly moved. What sort of fearsome location was this, and what staggering authority did the Master of Inner Demon command!
…
At the same time, inside the Divine Kingdom, a streak of brilliance swirled about, unleashing boundless tremendous force, akin to a heavenly edict, with a sheet of golden paper drifting high in the air.
Hongmeng Energy poured in from the distant horizon, overtaking the clouds as it amassed overhead, while thunderous rumbles echoed, rattling the whole Divine Kingdom and pulling every gaze upward.
Ye Chen practiced in the Demon Suppression Hall. Sensing the oddity above, a strange sensation stirred inside him, tying directly to his earlier hunches. Without delay, he soared skyward.
The golden talisman quivered, and golden lotuses bloomed one by one from the heavens, as the inscription on the talisman appeared across the sky.
This was none other than Mo Xue Ming's challenge to Xuanyuan Moxie, announcing a duel in one month's time at Myriad Gods Mountain.
The golden talisman overhead appeared eternal, lingering perpetually in the firmament. Ye Chen's face showed bewilderment; with Mo Xue Ming rescued by the Master of Inner Demon, he must have recovered fully from an injury that should have been deadly, or else he wouldn't boldly issue a challenge to Xuanyuan Moxie.
Moreover, this challenge carried such immense scope and pressure that the whole Divine Kingdom witnessed it, sparking massive turmoil. Bearing the title of Samsara Master, Xuanyuan Moxie had no choice but to accept the fight.
"The Master of Inner Demon aims to wipe out Xuanyuan Moxie completely!"
Ye Chen quickly discerned that Mo Xue Ming's move came straight from the Master of Inner Demon's guidance, for Mo Xue Ming always proceeded with assurance and wouldn't provoke Xuanyuan Moxie without total certainty of his demise.
With rumors circulating that Xuanyuan Moxie was the Samsara Master, the Master of Inner Demon likely suspected as much. But for someone like the Master of Inner Demon, it was preferable to slay a thousand innocents rather than spare a single foe. Xuanyuan Moxie already irked him greatly, a persistent nuisance demanding total elimination by any method.
At the same time, Ye Chen grasped that by permitting Mo Xue Ming to confront Xuanyuan Moxie, the Master of Inner Demon had undoubtedly supplied Mo Xue Ming with numerous hidden advantages.
"This fight presents my opening!"
Ye Chen's aura surged wildly, radiating unbeatable arrogance, and all those in the Demon Suppression Hall felt it, turning their attention toward him.
Equipped with those aces, Mo Xue Ming would clash with Xuanyuan Moxie in a devastating deadlock, outcome uncertain, but bound to end in both sides' ruin.
Just as the mantis hunts the cicada while unaware of the oriole behind, Ye Chen knew he had to grasp this moment. He required a breakthrough to the Heavenly God Realm in the coming month, lest the opportunity alone prove insufficient to claim his prize!
"From this day forward, I'll enter seclusion and head to Myriad Gods Mountain in a month to observe the showdown."
All members of the Demon Suppression Hall had gathered, with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor leading at the forefront, giving a measured nod to Ye Chen's declaration.
"Indeed, this is a prime chance." The Sky-covering Demon Emperor pierced the underlying karma of the events, offering a subtle smile. "For the clash at Myriad Gods Mountain, you'll require backing. I'll head back to the Outer Realm to relay this intelligence to the blood dragon."
"My gratitude, Senior Demon Emperor." Ye Chen accepted without hesitation, cupping his hands in thanks at the words.
Ye Chen understood clearly that his power now lagged behind both Mo Xue Ming and Xuanyuan Moxie. To involve himself in the Myriad Gods Mountain confrontation, he needed to call upon outside help.
"Fine, I wasn't intending to linger anyway. I'll depart first to check on the blood dragon. I've remained here overly long, harming my core. I won't return to the Divine Kingdom for the Myriad Gods Mountain battle."
Ye Chen inclined his head, and thinking of the blood dragon filled his chest with warmth.
The blood dragon, born from his essence, existed solely for him.
Currently, through the blood dragon's vast accomplishments and toil, it was likely forging his path into the Outer Realm.
With the blood dragon laboring so fiercely, how could Ye Chen justify any lack of effort on his part?
Enveloped in swirling demonic qi, the Demon Emperor pivoted, "Young one, the blood dragon and I eagerly await your arrival in the Outer Realm."
"The Outer Realm's circumstances are far more intricate than you envision. It might take only you to stir this still water."
"Following the surprising demise of the Samsara Master, shadows multiplied in the Upper Realm and Outer Realm. Certain inquiries, I can't reveal to you yet."
