The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3506: Sinking God’s Light (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
He's aiming to disrupt Ye Chen's mindset! As that insane cackle echoed, chills stabbed into Ye Chen's spine like a barrage of frozen spikes!
It's drawing near, that beast who endured the Extinction Divine Light and Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash without perishing, it's closing in!
A dark silhouette raced over from the distant skyline!
Twisted grin marred Wang Pan's burned visage, his form radiating a chilling Martial Intent as he unleashed a remote palm strike at Ye Chen!
Vast spiritual energy, vast enough to flood the cosmos, howled forth in an unstoppable wave, palm intent roiling wildly, until a gleaming golden palm mark burst into view. The instant it materialized, the whole Juesha Heaven seemed compressed by the sheer dread Power locked within!
Each thread of golden glow from the palm mark weighed immensely, akin to myriads of tons of solid gold; wherever it brushed against nearby peaks and terrain, everything splintered and fractured on contact!
This strike held unimaginable terror!
It deserved the title of World Destructive Palm!
In Ye Chen's present condition, blocking this palm seemed utterly impossible!
Should this palm descend, it spelled certain doom!
In a flash, the enormous golden palm loomed over Ye Chen's rear; even prior to full impact, his every bone creaked ominously, on the verge of shattering!
Right then, every fiber of Ye Chen's being tensed to the extreme, enduring the most intense strain he'd ever faced!
And precisely then, a shattering crack echoed across the realm...
It broke apart!
At long last, it broke apart!
In this desperate instant, Ye Chen pierced through the Fu Hun Tower's wall!
With a swift motion, he scooped up Wu You from the ground, twisted his frame, and plunged into the Fu Hun Tower!
Mere moments after Ye Chen slipped inside, the Fu Hun Tower's wall sealed itself shut once more!
Ye Chen crashed onto the floor inside, tumbling clumsily across the Fu Hun Tower's surface, and as he crossed the threshold, the Evil God’s Remnant Soul ceased its thrashing, while the tower's eerie green glow faded, restoring calm.
At the same time, a deafening boom rocked the earth, sending the entire Fu Hun Tower into violent quakes!
That fearsome palm had slammed into the Fu Hun Tower! Fissures spiderwebbed across its structure, yet the green light surged anew, swiftly healing the splits until they disappeared.
Beyond the tower, Wang Pan's enraged bellow of frustration boomed out!
It had looked so close—he was on the verge of slaying that punk who'd wounded him so badly!
But now he cowered within this Fu Hun Tower?
Lacking the Evil God’s Remnant Soul's aid, even Wang Pan's might made shattering this Fu Hun Tower a grueling task!
Ye Chen exhaled softly, gulping down scores of pills to mend his injuries.
At once, he sliced his wrist open, letting his blood drip into Wu You’s mouth.
Wu You's vital signs steadied shortly after.
While channeling the pill's essence, Ye Chen scanned the space around him, finding the Fu Hun Tower's interior swallowed in total blackness, utterly sightless.
Right then, a staircase materialized right in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stared in shock—where had this staircase emerged from?
In that instant, the Evil God's voice rang from the Slaughter Sword: "Brat, heal up properly, then seek me out by scaling this staircase, no fears. Over endless years trapped here, I've seized control of portions of this Fu Hun Tower's essence; else, I wouldn't have stirred up such chaos earlier.
Yet heed this: even with my hold on parts of this Fu Hun Tower's essence, its defenses remain formidable; climbing this staircase won't be simple, steel yourself."
Ye Chen gazed at the staircase vanishing into shadowy depths, his gaze shimmering, as the pill's potency merged with his reincarnation bloodline, revitalizing his presence along with his body and meridians.
Meanwhile, the Fu Hun Tower's shakes persisted unabated; plainly, Wang Pan kept up his relentless assaults!
Wu You stirred with a faint groan, her eyes fluttering open in bewilderment, and after peering about, she spotted Ye Chen offering a gentle smile as he remarked: "You're awake."
Wu You inquired: "Where are we?"
Ye Chen replied: "We're inside the massive tower that confines the Evil God’s Remnant Soul."
Wu You jolted at the words; Ye Chen had managed to breach this colossal tower?
Still, she held back any more queries.
Suddenly, Ye Chen rose to his feet, fixed his eyes on the staircase ahead, and declared: "Wu You, I must climb this staircase right away to release the Evil God Seal—it's our sole chance against that enigmatic foe."
Wu You gave a nod, then flicked her wrist, tossing the Wu You Relic her way to Ye Chen, adding: "Take this, it could prove handy."
Ye Chen caught the Wu You Relic and advanced onto the staircase.
The moment his foot landed, a dim yellow glow cascaded from the gloom, bringing with it a crushing gravitational force! This weight crashed onto Ye Chen without mercy, and despite his robust build and immense power, his skeleton groaned under the strain!
Outwardly, by the Fu Hun Tower, Wang Pan appeared to detect the shift within, unleashing a scornful jeer as he mocked:
"Pathetic runt, fancying yourself unsealing the Evil God? Ha, with your skills? Quit the fantasies—this Fu Hun Tower stands as a legendary Supreme Treasure from antiquity, brimming with boundless Power. Merely the Sinking God’s Light inside the Fu Hun Tower packs a horrifying punch!
The Fu Hun Tower boasts nine tiers, gravity ramping up per level. Even a top-tier Holy Ancestor realm warrior might get pulverized outright, no? You figure that grasping the Destruction Divine Dao and Hongmeng Ancient Technique, plus that odd Blood Moon, makes you unbeatable?
Better drop those delusions, just await your end meekly—getting smashed by gravity ain't exactly blissful!"
Hearing this, Wu You eyed Ye Chen's silhouette, concern swirling in her lovely gaze!
Yet Ye Chen's expression lit up with delight, profound delight!
Sinking God’s Light?
Precisely what he craved at this juncture!
Why so?
On account of the Purple Cloud Stone amassed in Ye Chen’s frame!
To draw in the Purple Cloud Stone's energy sans drawbacks, one approach involves clashing with a mighty rival, thus boosting martial prowess and mastering greater might!
The alternate path entails tempering the physique and elevating bodily traits further, ensuring that should martial skills lag, elite physical prowess can still handle the Purple Cloud Stone's energy!
What's more, this latter path outpaces the former in efficacy!
But Ye Chen held off on it because securing ideal circumstances proved far too arduous!
Ye Chen's existing physique already boasted astonishing resilience, rendering additional tempering a tough feat!
Thus, Ye Chen chose the initial route!
Yet now, courtesy of the Sinking God’s Light, the landscape shifted!
This Sinking God’s Light truly burdened heavily, and even Ye Chen's sturdy form sensed the squeeze!
Still, strain meant results!
Brilliance sparked in Ye Chen's eyes; should he scale to the ninth tier of the Fu Hun Tower, home to the Evil God’s Remnant Soul, might his physique advance yet more?
Without delay, Ye Chen pressed on!
Clenching his jaw, his sinews rippled ceaselessly, resembling a massive serpent twisting, while the reincarnation bloodline raced through his bloodstream! Golden lightning danced across Ye Chen’s form, heralding the Scarlet Dust Divine Bloodline firing at peak!
With a thunderous boom!
The Fu Hun Tower itself quivered!
Ye Chen planted his foot on the second stair!
Outside the Fu Hun Tower, Wang Pan, whose smirk had brimmed with contempt, registered the jolt and his grin iced over!
Disbelief etched his stare at the Fu Hun Tower, his scorched features darkening further!
Impossible!
This youngster actually braves the Sinking God’s Light to conquer the tower's summit?
A mere exposure would cripple a peak Holy Ancestor, much less progressing beneath its crush!
But Ye Chen lingers only at the Heavenly God Realm!
And as Wang Pan reeled in astonishment, the Fu Hun Tower quaked once more!
Ye Chen advanced another pace!
Wang Pan's eyes narrowed to slits, though a frosty smirk lingered faintly.
Lad, your build and vigor surpass what I anticipated, yet merely two strides in, and your pace has dragged this much?
This is merely the initial tier!
Lacking the chops, you'll never summit the tower!
Another boom resounded as the Fu Hun Tower shuddered with Ye Chen's third stride!
By now, atop the stairs, Ye Chen sweated profusely, breaths coming in heavy gasps.
Three strides...
Merely three strides...
And Ye Chen teetered on exhaustion?
Nevertheless, far from dismay or fret, Ye Chen's glee intensified! Thrill coursed through him!
It's taking hold!
Such brief progress already yielded gains!
Under the Sinking God’s Light's onslaught, beyond perspiration, dark impurities seeped from Ye Chen’s pores!
His physique had edged forward!
Ye Chen drew in a steadying breath, roared aloud, and lunged to the subsequent stair!
Fourth stride, fifth stride!
By the fifth, Ye Chen's colossal might strained at its brink!
But presently, Ye Chen sensed reserves to push onward!
Now, the dark specks on Ye Chen’s skin multiplied, marking his physique's upgrade, and what followed such enhancement?
Indeed, assimilating the Purple Cloud Stone's energy!
Bolstered by the Purple Cloud Stone's influx, Ye Chen's might swelled anew, fueling his drive to persist!
Across these mere five strides, Ye Chen shattered personal barriers. As he aimed for the sixth stair, his physique and vigor notched subtle gains!
Such power surges enabled Ye Chen to tackle loftier stairs, weather fiercer gravity, cleanse his marrow, forge superior bodily traits, harness more Purple Cloud Stone energy, and amass yet greater might!
This virtuous loop propelled Ye Chen's prowess into skyrocketing leaps!
Moments slipped away, one by one, until after thirty minutes, Ye Chen at last set foot on the eleventh stair!
He'd attained the second tier of the Fu Hun Tower!
Upon entering the second tier, the Sinking God’s Light's gravity abruptly doubled!
Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly, and even as he strained his leg muscles to the utmost for another advance, his body stayed rooted in place!
