The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3466: What Does It Have to Do with Me? (Third Update)

In that instant, the Eternal Sacred King appeared to pierce right through Ye Chen's mind and spoke, "Young Master Ye, are you worried about the Outer Realm Demon Emperor?"

Ye Chen gave a firm nod in agreement.

With his hands, the Eternal Sacred King shaped a seal, and to his surprise, an arcane rune began swirling at the tips of his fingers!

The rune broke apart in a flash!

His face shifted dramatically, and he declared, "The Outer Realm Demon Emperor remains a lurking threat to the Divine Kingdom, and I faintly detect that his arrival would unleash the ultimate catastrophe upon the Divine Kingdom!"

"From what you've said, Jin Shuhui must be either in the Outer Realm or the Upper Realm, while the Demon Emperor lurks in the Outer Heaven Demon Land!"

"Since the Demon Emperor hasn't shown up in ages, why not strike first and take the fight to him?"

"Having reached the Heavenly God Realm, you now possess the power to stir up real trouble. Before this Demon Emperor can regain his full strength, wiping him out might be your prime chance."

"Fifteen days remain before the clash at Myriad Gods Mountain, so you need to track down Jin Shuhui and make it back to the Divine Kingdom in that time!"

"And if you can, wipe out the Demon Emperor's danger entirely within those fifteen days!"

Ye Chen started to waver, but the Eternal Sacred King pressed on, "Truth is, you don't have any options... My recent divination shows the Demon Emperor's arrival could happen in less than a month! You have to leave now!"

"This goes beyond just you—it might decide the fate of the Divine Kingdom and even Huaxia!"

Ye Chen's features hardened with resolve, casting aside all doubt, and he stated firmly, "Elder Yong, I'll head out at once to locate Jin Shuhui!"

The Eternal Sacred King held back further talk and produced a formation pattern marked with the character "Eternal"!

He squeezed out a droplet of blood essence, setting the formation pattern into a spinning motion!

His fingers danced through seals nonstop, as he chanted ancient spells under his breath!

"Ye Chen, this formation pattern draws on Eternal Essence Blood to guide you straight to the Outer Realm, and after fifteen days, it'll pulse and pull you back by force!"

"Eternal Clan, forever enduring in the world, eternal arts, relics of antiquity, awaken!"

Ye Chen sensed the space around him ripple wildly!

He came to see that he'd been underestimating the Eternal Sacred King's abilities all along!

The Eternal Sacred King's techniques surpassed anything he'd pictured!

In the blink of an eye, his body vanished from the Demon Suppression Hall!

...

Deep in the voids of the Outer Realm and Upper Realm, a sudden wave of spatial energy erupted, with bolts of dark lightning crackling everywhere, and through the raging gales, a silhouette plummeted down.

Ye Chen hit the earth, drawing in a heavy breath, looking somewhat battered and worn.

He eyed the formation pattern from the Eternal Sacred King and sighed in resignation. During his transit through the void, he'd run into a ferocious space storm. Even for someone as mighty as Ye Chen, enduring that chaos proved no easy feat. At last, though, he'd made it to the Outer Realm.

Ye Chen rose to his feet, his gaze brimming with sharp intrigue.

As soon as he set foot in this domain, the first thing that struck him was the overwhelming richness of spiritual energy!

Not even the Divine Kingdom, transformed by the Moon with Jade Ring, could match even a fraction of this intensity!

This truly deserved the name of a paradise for warriors!

And then came the gravitational pull!

Here, gravity crushed down a hundredfold compared to the Divine Kingdom!

Yet for a powerhouse like Ye Chen, it barely registered.

Was there much variance between grasping a single hair and clutching hundreds?

He scanned his surroundings, realizing he seemed to have landed in some rugged mountain area.

"You've really made it to the Outer Realm?"

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence!

It came from the Sword Soul Xuan Han Yu, who had stayed quiet for so long!

Evidently, the potent spiritual energy in this place had roused Xuan Han Yu!

Ye Chen's brow furrowed a bit, and he turned to the Sword Soul, asking, "Fairy Xuan, you've finally spoken up? What is this location?"

Xuan Han Yu replied, "The space storm you faced must have thrown the formation pattern off course, landing you close to Black Gold City in the Outer Realm."

"If I'm right, the one you're seeking should be nearby."

Ye Chen acknowledged with a nod, then his form blurred as he soared skyward, unleashing his formidable divine soul in a sweeping probe that quickly spotted a settlement to the southwest, prompting him to race there without delay.

Black Gold City stands as a modest settlement in the Outer Realm's Star Swirl Domain.

The Outer Realm encompasses Four Great Domains, with Star Swirl Domain ranking among them!

By chance, the Heavenly Demon Land falls within this realm too!

These Four Great Domains differ greatly in power, and warriors from the Divine Kingdom first rise into the Star Swirl Domain, the feeblest of the bunch.

Overseeing Star Swirl Domain lies the Moon Soul Domain; beyond that sits the Yangzhen Domain; and the Heavenly Human Domain reigns as the ultimate martial arts sanctuary that every fighter in the Outer Realm dreams of reaching!

Though dubbed a small city, Black Gold City pales only against the grander hubs of the Outer Realm and Upper Realm. Inside its walls dwell tens of millions of warriors!

Moreover, it's renowned for yielding a valuable resource called Black Gold.

Before long, Ye Chen touched down just beyond Black Gold City's gates, and much to his astonishment, no sentries guarded the entrance?

Still, he brushed it off and strode right into the city.

The moment he crossed the threshold, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed sharply!

The warriors of the Outer Realm and Upper Realm truly outclass those of the Divine Kingdom!

Along the avenues, Chaos Realm powerhouses roamed in droves, alongside plenty at the Holy Ancestor Realm!

And this was merely the baseline for a so-called small city.

But after strolling a short distance, Ye Chen's expression tightened; something felt off about the vibe in Black Gold City!

For one, Xuan Han Yu had mentioned it housed tens of millions of warriors, but Ye Chen sensed an eerie emptiness on his path, as though the crowds were nowhere near that vast.

For another, the locals eyed him with peculiar stares, whispering and gesturing his way!

Right then, a distortion rippled before Ye Chen, and two figures clad in black with stern faces materialized, cutting off his advance!

One sported a long, equine face, built broad and imposing, his triangular eyes gleaming with malice.

The other bore a swarthy complexion and a shaved scalp, radiating a brutal presence.

Both sported dark gold emblems at their belts, inscribed with "Black Gold."

At the same time, their auras pulsed with formidable might, revealing them as fourth-level Supreme Emperor realm experts!

The onlookers on the street paled at the sight of these two dark-robed warriors, making it clear these weren't folks to tangle with in Black Gold City!

Then, their gazes shifted to Ye Chen, faces mixing sympathy, mockery, and sneers of contempt.

Now, the horse-faced one barked coldly, "Kid, what's your name? You got the guts to ignore the City Lord's decree? Seeking death?"

Ye Chen caught the words and creased his brow, replying, "What decree? I'm Ye Chen, here to meet a friend—I wasn't aware of anything like that."

Though the horse-faced man's tone grated on Ye Chen, he kept his response civil.

Yet this courtesy struck the horse-faced man and the bald brute as weakness!

They shared a quick look, sly grins tugging at their lips.

The horse-faced man sneered down at Ye Chen, "Fresh off the boat? Kid, you take us for idiots? What warrior under Holy Ancestor Realm would show up in Black Gold City right now?

You broke the City Lord's rule, we caught you, and you're playing dumb?"

Ye Chen's expression darkened further as he stated, "I really have no clue about your City Lord's decree, so step out of my way now—I have business to handle."

The horse-faced man and bald brute paused at his words, then their gazes iced over with fury!

A fresh Heavenly God Realm upstart ordering them aside?

Huh?

This punk had zero power and no connections, the lowest of the low. Instead of groveling, he dared to front like this?

And in public, no less, defying them both?

Excellent, simply outstanding!

The horse-faced man flashed a wicked grin and warned, "Kid, you'd be wise to play along. No idea what rule you broke? Alright, I'll spell it out: Black Gold City just uncovered a fresh vein, desperate for laborers to dig it out, so the City Lord commanded every warrior below Holy Ancestor Realm and past twenty in the city to head into the vein and work!"

Ye Chen answered coolly, "How does that involve me? I'm no resident of Black Gold City."
