The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3476: 3476: Is the Destruction Divine Dao in High Demand? (Part 3)

Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
A massive Green Feathered Phoenix King descends upon Ziling City, carrying Zhang Qiao Ling, the formidable seventh-level Heavenly God Realm holy maiden of Qianlei Sect, who confronts her brother Zhang Chi for associating with what she deems worthless companions like Gu Han and the Semi-Divine Ye Chen. Dismissing their worth with icy disdain, she demands Zhang Chi's obedience, but he musters unexpected resolve to defend his friends, defying her authority for the first time. Enraged by the insolence, Zhang Qiao Ling unleashes a crushing pressure that threatens to overwhelm them, only for Ye Chen to step forward and effortlessly dispel it, culminating in his defiant command for her to scram.

Though Zhang Qiaoling possesses remarkable power, one must remember that Ye Chen harbors the formidable essence of the Purple Cloud Stone and the Netherworld Water inside, still waiting to be fully absorbed!

Thus, facing Zhang Qiaoling, Ye Chen feels no real dread.

What about her formidable lineage?

Could it surpass the might of the Leng family, the Emperor Abyss Palace, or the Upper Realm Empress?

Having already confronted the Leng family, why would he fear Zhang Qiaoling?

For one, he believed Zhang Chi had committed no offense; for another, Zhang Qiaoling stood in his way, so why not demand she step aside?

The air grew thick, halting all motion nearby, plunging the scene into utter quiet, a profound hush!

Ye Chen had just ordered Zhang Qiaoling to scram!

Commanding the sacred maiden of the top-tier Qianlei Sect, the unparalleled prodigy of Ziling City across ten millennia, to scram?

This act challenges the very heavens!

Even Gu Han started shaking in that instant…

Despite knowing Ye Chen's immense prowess, deep down, Gu Han viewed Zhang Qiaoling as far more daunting!

After all, decades of dealings with her had ingrained that terror…

In truth, should they fight, he held little hope for Ye Chen's victory…

Still, Gu Han remained mute, rooted in place, quivering, for neither figure was one he could afford to cross!

At this juncture, Zhang Qiaoling's gaze brimmed with lethal intent, so vivid it felt solid, as the heavens churned with her blazing rage, storms of thunder booming!

The Green Phoenix King beneath Zhang Qiaoling shuddered in terror, barely keeping aloft, on the verge of plummeting!

This punk in the Heavenly God realm had merely withstood a sliver of her presence, yet presumed to command her, Zhang Qiaoling, to scram!

From birth, Zhang Qiaoling had been hailed as the Venerable Immortal Ling Yun; not even her parents dared discipline her harshly—when had anyone ever addressed her so?

With her extraordinary gifts and allure, from youth, every man nearby revered her completely, shunning any slight, willing to perish just for a moment's conversation, a chance to approach her!

She shone as the brightest star amid any gathering, adored like a deity!

Folks even staked their lives on her whims, braving deadly perils, all because she once noted a lovely bloom in such a spot.

And now Ye Chen?

He outright dismissed her…

What's more, she sensed Ye Chen wasn't scheming for her notice; he genuinely disregarded her, even harbored revulsion… Truly saw her as an obstruction, thus bade her scram!

For the first time, Zhang Qiaoling's pride suffered a grave insult!

Inflicted by such a lowly figure, a trifling Heavenly God realm daring to scorn her!!!

Zhang Qiaoling clenched her pearly teeth, rage nearly driving her mad, and she could no longer restrain herself—she lashed out!

She craved to force this wretched youth to his knees, pleading for mercy!

A longsword sheathed in vivid blue-purple lightning materialized in Zhang Qiaoling's grasp, unleashing a dazzling surge of azure-violet thunder!

That thunder radiated surging Power of Annihilation!

Gu Han's visage drained of color, and he cried out: “Nine Heavens Thunder Dao? It’s actually the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao!”

What exactly defines the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao?

Among the myriad Daos, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao ranks as an elite path of integration, where its followers forge Thunder Light infused with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder's Power of Annihilation!

This Power of Annihilation bears resemblance to the Destruction Divine Dao, though it lags far behind in potency—one might call it a diluted form of the Destruction Divine Dao!

Even then, the might of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao is easy to grasp!

The Qianlei Sect's renown across the Star Swirl Domain stems from its command of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao's practice, but mastering this path proves arduous!

Over the past hundred thousand years, no one in the Qianlei Sect had achieved it, leading many to claim the sect teetered on collapse…

Who would have thought Zhang Qiaoling had conquered it!

And at a considerable level, no less!

Ye Chen's eyes tightened a fraction as the voice of Sword Soul Xuan Han Jade suddenly reached his mind!

“The clash at Myriad Gods Mountain looms just days from now.”

“A fresh breakthrough in such little time is unlikely, yet honing your martial prowess can boost your cross-realm combat edge!

To stand against Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xue Ming at Myriad Gods Mountain, bolstering your martial arts is essential—this venture into the Outer Realm offers the perfect chance!”

“Keep hunting mighty foes to sharpen your Destruction Divine Dao and deepen your martial insights!”

“Through combat, grow mightier!”

“This scenario paves the ideal route!”

“Right now, you can match a Holy Ancestor Sixth Layer Heaven, and with my support, even tackle the Seventh Layer Heaven!”

“Call on me if you require my strength!”

“The greater your power, the more you aid my mission!”

“As for the mission's nature, hold your questions! The moment hasn't arrived!”

Zhang Qiaoling had now ignited into genuine fury, deploying her Nine Heavens Thunder Dao against Ye Chen!

Yet, before she could swing her blade, Ye Chen launched his assault!

“Gengjin Iron Wall! Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven!”

An unyielding Gengjin Iron Wall and a Buddha Light Barrier echoing sacred chants materialized around Ye Chen, repelling the ceaseless thunder.

The Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique and Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds—two primeval Hongmeng arts—burst forth together!

Vast demonic qi and arcane flames blazed, crimson light flooded, but that was merely the start; Ye Chen's eyes gleamed as his soul called to Sword Soul Xuan Han Jade in the Slaughter Sword: “Fairy Xuan, lend me your might!”

Ye Chen alone couldn't fully rival Zhang Qiaoling!

But another could: Xuan Han Yu!

Since entering the Outer Realm, Xuan Han Yu had drawn in some local spiritual energy, restoring part of her vigor!

This formed the backbone of Ye Chen's boldness in facing her!

“Okay.”

Xuan Han Yu consented instantly!

A enigmatic energy suddenly poured from the Slaughter Sword!

Zhang Qiaoling exceeded expectations in strength; against her, Ye Chen held nothing back!

Gu Han stared at Ye Chen, a touch surprised…

Anyone might anticipate Ye Chen to grow solemn, on edge from sensing the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao's aura, but…

He was grinning…

Ye Chen was grinning!

His gaze blazed with fervent warlust!

He resembled a mad warrior through and through…

How could Ye Chen refrain from grinning?

The fiercer Zhang Qiaoling proved, the greater the gains from battling her!

He yearned for a brutal, do-or-die fight at this very hour!

In the instant that followed, Destruction Divine Dao's aura converged on the Slaughter Sword's tip, unleashing a supreme slash of ruin!

This blade seemed to eclipse the sun overhead!

“Destruction Divine Dao?”

A flicker of astonishment crossed Zhang Qiaoling's stunning eyes. Having honed the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao, so close to the Destruction Divine Dao, how could she fail to recognize it?
