The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3553: Reunion with an Old Friend! (Sixth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Witnessing this sight, Ye Chen's expression grew a touch grim. The Death Qi Dragons held tremendous might, having attained the Holy Ancestor Realm, while numerous Death Qi Creatures had surged to the Peak of the Heavenly God Realm, all of them remarkably fierce.
Boundless death qi roared forward, crashing like a raging torrent, as Ye Chen's gaze turned icy and piercing, suddenly driving his sword ahead.
"Destruction Divine Dao!"
Ye Chen roared in fury, releasing a savage Destruction Divine Dao, with the apocalyptic sword gleam ravaging the Grand Canyon and swiftly scattering the overwhelming boundless death qi.
The horde of charging Death Qi Creatures got wiped out by Ye Chen's blade, yet soon the death qi billowed anew, summoning fresh waves of endless Death Qi Creatures.
"Looks like these Death Qi Creatures, much like the Death Stairs, can keep reviving endlessly. We need to hurry through Death Canyon."
A glint sparked in Ye Chen's eyes as he declared.
"Right." Jun Mo nodded in agreement, then unleashed a torrent of slaughter, as a fierce crimson glow swept over the area. In that instant, Jun Mo resembled some primordial entity, a being from before the world's creation, radiating a potent and grand ancient presence.
"Boom!"
The infinite crimson radiance bore down, and the swarm of Death Qi Creatures wailed in dread, surprisingly terrified of the crimson glow from Jun Mo.
Taking in this view, Ye Chen felt a stir. Jun Mo concealed numerous mysteries, and this crimson glow stood out as particularly intriguing.
The crimson aura around Jun Mo felt profoundly ancient and immense, probably stemming from some remarkable source.
As for Yang Han, the armor cladding him was no ordinary gear either. These two weren't ordinary figures; their bearing screamed high nobility, and allying with them promised real gains.
Lost in thought, Ye Chen surged ahead. With Jun Mo's crimson glow holding back the Death Qi Creatures, he erupted in combat, covering vast stretches in a flash and unleashing a frenzy of kills within the Grand Canyon.
Swinging the Slaughter Sword wildly, a torrent of ruinous energy ravaged the vicinity, as countless Death Qi Creatures shrieked and crumbled apart one by one.
The whole Death Canyon shuddered nonstop, with cataclysmic clashes bursting forth repeatedly.
Ye Chen and his three companions moved like invincible Supreme Killing Gods, pressing onward through Death Canyon, smashing every Death Qi Creature in their way without letting it slow them even a step.
Amid this brutal onslaught, Ye Chen's team advanced at breakneck speed. Though Death Canyon stretched wide and profound, they neared its close in no time.
The Death Qi Creatures hindering Ye Chen's group grew fiercer, their Death Qi Dragons evolving from early Holy Ancestor Realm to mid-stage, and even late-stage now.
The power of these Death Qi Creatures swelled dramatically, their presence turning wilder, fueled by the roaring expanse of infinite necrotic energy, as they hurled a mad barrage at Ye Chen's team.
"Hmph, nothing can halt us now."
Jun Mo burst forth with thrill once more, having cut down who knows how many Death Qi Creatures on the path, though the Grand Canyon ought to have filled him with dread. But the looming threat he sensed never struck, leading him to chalk it up to mere overthinking, dismissing the danger as a false alarm.
Yet the farther they delved into Death Canyon, the graver Ye Chen's look became. Jun Mo sensed the peril, as did Ye Chen—and far more sharply than Jun Mo.
Right then, Ye Chen's group reached the heart of the Grand Canyon, facing a staggeringly immense chasm that concealed untold horrors below.
Infinite death qi churned inside the chasm, serving as the origin for all the death qi filling Death Canyon.
Beholding this, Ye Chen couldn't shake memories of the Ancient Battlefield under Boundary City, where the Nine Death Realm's origins and the Ancient Battlefield clashes shared parallels—both born from epic conflicts, both harboring such abysses.
"This..." Ye Chen's gaze sharpened abruptly, "War Soul! That chasm must be the birthplace of the War Soul—stay sharp, everyone!"
Ye Chen's mind leaped to the War Soul from the Ancient Battlefield, his face shifting faintly. The one there packed a punch, but the Nine Death Realm's war dwarfed it in terror. Any War Soul born here would surely eclipse that one.
"Boom!"
As Ye Chen spoke, the heavens filled with turbulent death qi, unleashing apocalyptic fury that blanketed the entire Death Canyon.
Vast death qi roiled and stormed, as the doomsday death energy swirled, cloaking the full span of Death Canyon.
The surroundings, even the overhead sky, vanished from view, drowned in pitch blackness laced with thick death energy.
Ye Chen's team's faces set firm as they detected a monstrous force building.
In that instant, the Death Qi Creatures hounding Ye Chen's group detonated in sequence.
"Bang bang bang!"
Echoes of massive blasts rang through the skies, with horrifying detonations and shocks surging toward Ye Chen's group, forcing them to huddle together defensively, adrift like a tiny vessel in raging waves.
"What's going on?" Jun Mo's expression turned deadly grave. The immense peril he'd anticipated was crashing down.
"Probably the War Soul."
Ye Chen replied coolly, sharing a look with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor had ventured into the Ancient Battlefield alongside Ye Chen, so he knew the happenings there well. He too spotted the echoes between Death Canyon and the Ancient Battlefield.
"This chasm has to be the cradle for the War Soul."
Ye Chen added, and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor gave a nod. Jun Mo and Yang Han felt confused about Ye Chen's firm conviction that a War Soul would emerge.
Just then, the boundless death qi from the bursting Death Qi Creatures funneled straight into the chasm, where a bone-chilling bellow resounded.
"Roar!"
The cry seemed set to rend the firmament, split eras, and slice through time's eternal flow, wiping out existence itself.
The cataclysmic wave hit, twisting Ye Chen's group's features in shock. This surpassed Holy Ancestor Realm might—it was Heavenly Repairing Realm power!
"A Heavenly Repairing Realm War Soul after all!"
Ye Chen's demeanor grew heavy. Boundless death qi poured into the chasm, and slowly, a silhouette rose from its depths.
Unlike the War Soul Ye Chen faced in the Ancient Battlefield, this one from Death Canyon outshone it clearly, manifesting almost lifelike with refined traits and a crushing, apocalyptic aura.
With each breath from the War Soul, Hongmeng Energy cycled through his nostrils and lips, clad in tattered robes as his eyes gradually parted.
"You all..."
The War Soul's tone rasped like echoes from the deepest inferno, but before he could continue, his gaze locked onto Ye Chen.
"It's you!"
