The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3563: What Power Is This? (Seventh Update)

"He asked what we’re doing here," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor declared, before turning his gaze toward the Giant Leader.

In that instant, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the Giant Leader started talking, using a tongue that Ye Chen and his allies couldn't comprehend, though they sensed faintly that this Cangmu Giant dialect carried a profound Rule Power within it.

Rather than simply trading words, it felt more as if the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the Giant Leader were sharing rules themselves.

Every utterance from the Cangmu Giant brimmed with tremendous Rule Power. During their discussion, the heavens unleashed torrential rains, fierce gales, and roaring thunderbolts at times, all triggered by their speech invoking the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

Shortly afterward, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the Giant Leader ended their conversation, and the giants' aggression toward Ye Chen and his group clearly lessened.

"Hehe, these guys are pretty direct. They got pushed to escape here, and this place is their Ancestral Land. Spotting us around, they thought we were intruders, so that's why they went on the attack," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor clarified.

"Can we head out now?" Jun Mo questioned right away after hearing that, still uncomfortable around the altar, worried some disaster might strike, even with the Cangmu Giants' impressive might.

"Sure, but the giants mentioned they were chased into this woodland, and trailing them is a horde of savage beasts without end," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor continued.

"Savage beasts? Just slaughter them."

A flicker of murderous intent appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes. He had entered the Nine Death Realm seeking Ye Luoer and refused to let anything block his path.

"Those savage beasts aren't an issue, yet their chief could prove difficult to handle," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor stated gravely, his eyes penetrating the forest's depths as if peering far beyond.

"What's the chief's power level?"

Ye Chen’s mind raced. If the Sky-covering Demon Emperor considered it tough, then the savage beast's head must wield enormous strength.

"Heavenly Repairing Realm," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor uttered deliberately.

"Heavenly Repairing Realm?"

Those words prompted Jun Mo to blurt out in surprise. His own power sat at the ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm, same as Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. A beast at the early Heavenly Repairing Realm could effortlessly overpower them all.

"This spells trouble."

Jun Mo muttered, his features darkening with concern.

"How soon will these savage beasts reach this spot?"

Ye Chen inquired, his gaze sharpening. Right now, none of the three could challenge the Heavenly Repairing Realm beasts, and clashing would definitely result in wounds.

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor replied with a serious look, "The chief already noted that while they retreated, the savage Beast Leader pursued right on their heels without striking. Its motives remain unclear, but it shouldn't be long before it arrives here."

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor went on, "Their former domain spanned hugely; they ruled as the supreme force over this million-mile area."

"But once the savage Beast Leader emerged, it massacred them without mercy, compelling them to fall back to their Ancestral Land."

"This is their Ancestral Land?"

Ye Chen’s thoughts churned at this revelation. The beast described by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor must possess ways to wipe out these giants. Herding them back to their Ancestral Land definitely served some intent.

"That's correct."

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor affirmed with a nod, adding, "We can't depart at present. Meeting the savage Beast Leader would bring peril. Yet, the Giant Leader just told me they intend to call forth an ancestral shadow to battle the Beast Leader. If we aid in invoking their ancestor, we ought to overcome the Beast Leader for sure."

"No chance; how do we know they're telling the truth."

Jun Mo’s face paled at once, speaking out in haste. He remained on edge and distrusted the giants completely.

"Are you questioning me?" The Sky-covering Demon Emperor's expression hardened at those words, fixing Jun Mo with a sharp, icy stare.

"The Cangmu Giant language reflects the Heavenly Dao and allows no falsehoods; if you doubt it, feel free to venture out and see if savage beasts lurk behind," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor responded icily, eyes locked on Jun Mo.

This left Jun Mo's countenance sour, yet Ye Chen stepped in to ease the tension, "Senior Demon Emperor, hold your anger. Jun Mo is merely exercising caution. In the Nine Death Realm, such wariness makes sense."

Jun Mo shot Ye Chen a thankful glance as he intervened.

"Senior Demon Emperor, you said the giants want our aid to summon their ancestor—what role do we play in that?"

Ye Chen followed up, pondering how they could contribute since the giants' ancestral shadow shared no blood ties with them.

"Furthermore, I believe the savage beast deliberately trapped the giants in their Ancestral Land, probably plotting something."

Ye Chen voiced thoughtfully, highlighting the detail they'd missed, which caused subtle shifts in their faces.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar from a beast shook the earth as a massive creature swooped down—it was a Golden Winged Great Peng, its plumage resembling iron, shimmering with lethal gleam. The Roc's aura swept through the cosmos like that of an unbeatable deity of carnage, instilling fear across all worlds.

"Hehe, you little brats have finally led me to this place!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng radiated wild ferocity upon arrival, its Heavenly Repairing Realm energy surging unchecked. Beneath its wings, the firmament cracked, scattering myriad shards of space.

"Ula ala..."

Spotting the Golden Winged Great Peng, the Giant Leader's expression twisted, urgently glancing at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor while murmuring in distress.

"What did he say?"

Witnessing the Golden Winged Great Peng overhead, Ye Chen’s look altered faintly. The Roc's might was overwhelmingly potent, genuinely at the Heavenly Repairing Realm, rendering it a matchless foe.

Using the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique might vanquish the Golden Winged Great Peng, but unleashing it beyond the realm could reveal Ye Chen’s secret; he'd save it for desperate times only.

"Boom!"

Right then, the Golden Winged Great Peng gradually lowered from above, taken aback by the sight of Ye Chen and his allies, clearly not anticipating strangers present.

Despite the shock, the Golden Winged Great Peng had no plans to near Ye Chen's group or the giants; it dove directly to the altar's heart, chuckling.

"Hahaha, what a invigorating presence, the pristine blood of the Cangmu Giants! Utterly advantageous for me!"

With those words, the Golden Winged Great Peng abruptly swiped its talon at the altar. Instantly, a terrifying surge of ruinous energy burst forth, as though it aimed to pulverize every heaven atop the altar.

"Bang!"

Just as the Golden Winged Great Peng’s talon neared the altar, a colossal surge of energy exploded outward. Boundless radiance gleamed as the altar spontaneously formed a dazzling shield, which not only halted the beast's ruinous and keen talons but also hurled it back.

"Puff!"

Hit by the shield's bursting might, the Golden Winged Great Peng coughed up blood, its talons fracturing.

"What sort of force is that?"

Observing the shield emerge from the altar, Jun Mo shuddered as his blood boiled fiercely, sensing he could burst apart.

The shield's glow projected boundless might, rivaling a Universe Sovereign, compelling submission and an urge to bow down.
