The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3498: Disappearance and Existence (Part 4)

Typically, the inheritors of the Six Evil bloodlines from their forebears possess a keen sensitivity to spiritual pressure, allowing them to harness it for boosting their cultivation levels. Possessing the Slaughter Sword Artifact amplifies their strength in ways that leave ordinary martial artists far behind!

That said, once they cross into higher realm divisions, the pace of their cultivation inevitably begins to lag.

Still, Lan Ying's physique appears weaker than her ancestor Lan Shaoyuan's. She holds some resistance against the spiritual pressure, yet she can't leverage it to speed up her cultivation progress.

Zhuipo burst into a booming laugh, declaring, "Looks like we've got the wrong idea. Brother Lianshen, pardon our error. This isn't a trivial affair, after all. If word got out about us being the Six Evil, it could unleash disasters beyond imagination!"

Ye Chen remained mostly silent. The presence of Hua Ling, Zhuipo, and the Extreme Yin Three Evils on Juming Island caught him off guard a bit. They merely wield the artifact, and even if they manage to unseal the fiend, it's unclear if they could revive the full power of the Evil Artifact.

He had no illusions that their arrival on Juming Island stemmed from any noble sense of duty.

Strangely enough, Jue Ming—the one who assembled the Six Evil—was nowhere to be seen?

Noticing Ye Chen's look, Zhuipo grinned and remarked, "Now that Brother Lianshen has made it to Juming Island too, surely you're aware of that whole situation, aren't you?"

"That situation?"

Hua Ling let out a mocking snort, eyeing Ye Chen. "Brat, you've shown up on Juming Island, so why the act? We're all chasing the Tian Sha Qi, aren't we?"

Tian Sha Qi? Ye Chen kept his composure outwardly, though confusion deepened within him.

Zhuipo explained, "It's no hidden truth. Even if Brother Lianshen is in the dark, you'll learn it soon enough once you step into Juesha Heaven."

"Our goal on Juming Island is to access Juesha Heaven and draw in the Tian Sha Qi inside it."

"As for releasing the fiend, that's not our concern at all."

"Legends say the fiend generates Tian Sha Qi, and Juesha Heaven overflows with it due to the ancient war that sealed the fiend."

"To regular martial artists, Tian Sha Qi acts like deadly poison. But thanks to our unique constitutions, it's a powerful supplement for us."

As he finished, he flashed another smile at Ye Chen. "Even so, with our builds, we can't take in too much Tian Sha Qi. Juesha Heaven has plenty to go around for everyone, so Brother Lianshen doesn't need to fret over any scraps between us."

Ye Chen gave a subtle nod in agreement. Clearly, Lan Ying was in the know about this too. Her hesitation in sharing stemmed partly from wanting to offer him this chance, and partly because her weakened constitution left doubts about her ability to absorb the Tian Sha Qi.

But Hua Ling cautioned sharply, "Brat, you'd better turn back now. With your talent, you figure you can handle the Tian Sha Qi? Step into Juesha Heaven, and can you even survive it? Oh, and surrender that artifact you're carrying. You're unfit to claim a spot among the Six Evil!"

At those words, Ye Chen turned a blank stare toward Hua Ling. For the moment, he preferred avoiding clashes with the Six Evil, aiming instead to borrow their strength for entry into Juesha Heaven. Yet if Hua Ling courted death, he wouldn't hesitate to oblige.

Ye Chen had never been the type to endure insults.

Suddenly, the air over Juming Island turned frigid, like a frozen wasteland where blood itself threatened to solidify!

A savage spark ignited in Hua Ling's eyes as he growled lowly, "Brat, I said give up the artifact—didn't you catch that? You really believe snagging a Six Evil title lets you strut around? If your ancestor caught sight of you like this, he'd have passed the artifact to someone worthy already, right?"

A chilling glint flashed in Ye Chen's gaze, and a wave of murderous intent exploded from him in an instant!

Hua Ling and the Extreme Yin duo's faces twisted in shock right away. In that split second, Ye Chen's form seemed to vanish from their view, supplanted by a vision of corpse-strewn peaks and a vast, bloody ocean!

Even Zhuipo, the mightiest of the group, went rigid, every muscle coiled tight, his usual nonchalance wiped away as he eyed Ye Chen with utmost caution!

Cold sweat soaked Hua Ling through. Their special constitutions made them acutely aware of spiritual pressure. Thus, as Six Evil inheritors, they grasped exactly how many formidable foes Ye Chen had slain to forge such overwhelming spiritual pressure!

How was this possible?

Hua Ling's pupils quaked violently; his head felt ready to burst!

How could a youth at the Heavenly God Realm cultivate such horrifying killing intent?

In that instant, Ye Chen twisted his wrist, summoning the blood-red Dragonslayer Sword into his grasp. This blade, taken from Elder Jian's storage bag, might not match the Slaughter Sword's might, but as an Emperor Artifact, it wielded tremendous power!

Bloody radiance erupted from the sword, unleashing a Destructive Aura that billowed out. A blinding sword beam flashed across Juming Island without delay. As it appeared, the surrounding gray waters churned wildly, and rocks and peaks on the island shattered to dust, as though the force alone could pulverize the whole landmass!

Without a single word, Ye Chen launched his attack!

Confronted by this blow, Hua Ling could no longer dismiss Ye Chen lightly?

This strike bore a profound sense of life-or-death peril just for him!

Who would have thought this odd Heavenly God Realm kid actually possessed the strength to end him in one slash?

Hua Ling teetered on the edge of insanity!

Sheer terror gripped him!

Nevertheless, being one of the Six Evil inheritors, he outshone same-level martial artists in battle skill, power, and every other way. In a flash, a Black Wood Long Sword radiating decay materialized in Hua Ling's grip.

He bellowed, his frame surging with dense, pure gray-black spiritual pressure that funneled into the Black Wood Long Sword like a vortex. A strange ripple emanated from the sword, a Netherworld Aura pierced the heavens, and a eerie green ghost shadow arose behind Hua Ling, its face pallid and fangs bared in malice!

Hua Ling's eyes glowed with green fire as he shouted, "Six Evil Techniques, Spirit Transformation Sky Obstruction Ability, activate!"

The green ghost shadow let out a piercing shriek that could rend divine souls, trembling before fusing straight into Hua Ling's form!

In a heartbeat, waves of Ghostly Energy rolled off Hua Ling, stripping away all traces of Vitality, while his presence ballooned explosively!

Hua Ling's skin turned deathly gray, black talons sprouted from his fingers, his eyes hollowed out, and his entire visage twisted into something grotesque and fearsome, akin to a Ghost King risen from the underworld!

Witnessing this, a flicker crossed Ye Chen's eyes!
