The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3569: Above All Heavens (Fifth Update)

"Evil Battle Demon Monkey? How powerful is it exactly?" Ye Chen arched an eyebrow while posing the question.

"That creature's power is truly negligible; the Venerable Immortal could squash it effortlessly with a single finger," the Giant Leader replied with deep respect.

Upon hearing those words, Ye Chen couldn't suppress a light laugh. The Giant Leader came across as straightforward, yet he surprisingly possessed a knack for buttering people up.

"Fine, your tribe has only just gotten settled. Head back and take care of your people's business."

With a casual wave, Ye Chen dismissed the Giant Leader, indicating he should focus on his duties instead of trailing after him.

The Giant Leader nodded promptly in response. His Giant Tribe had suffered devastating losses from the Golden Winged Great Peng's assault, with innumerable lives lost. Though the threat had passed, a multitude of problems demanded his immediate oversight.

Departing alongside the giants, the Giant Leader left Ye Chen to locate the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo. Together, the trio pressed on toward the Molten Lava Valley.

"Ye Chen, what brings you to this place?"

Jun Mo glanced at Ye Chen, pausing for a considerable while before finally giving in to his urge to question. Deep curiosity swirled about Ye Chen's background, which he suspected might be overwhelmingly profound and could invite dire repercussions if pursued. Still, his inquisitiveness overpowered him, leading him to test the waters subtly.

"Hehe."

A composed smile played on Ye Chen's lips, his profound stare causing Jun Mo's pulse to race—he instantly knew Ye Chen had pierced his intentions.

Yet, Ye Chen harbored no irritation; unless he revealed it himself, Jun Mo had no way of uncovering his true nature.

"I'm in search of a particular individual."

Shifting his eyes away, Ye Chen fixed his sight on the vast mountain ranges stretching before them, his tone carrying a weighty resonance.

"In search of someone?" Jun Mo blinked in surprise. The Nine Death Realm held countless enigmas and hidden dangers. Precisely who was Ye Chen hunting for? Perhaps a warrior from bygone conflicts within the Nine Death Realm?

Jun Mo understood full well that the Nine Death Realm had witnessed apocalyptic clashes, involving titans of unmatched might who soared beyond the celestial bounds.

Following those confrontations, such figures would either meet their end or depart the Nine Death Realm entirely. Even if Ye Chen aimed to track them down, this realm hardly seemed the logical choice.

"Hmph!" While Jun Mo pondered deeply, a sharp huff escaped the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. Irked by Jun Mo's nosy approach, he released a subtle wave of murderous intent.

Sensing it at once, Jun Mo clamped his lips shut without a word. His intentions were innocent, driven purely by wonder, but he grasped that certain matters lay beyond his right to question.

A faint smile tugged at Ye Chen's mouth as he observed, then continued, "I can't disclose the identity of the one I'm seeking. However, this individual plunged into the Nine Death Realm after a channel ripped open, compelling me to scour this area."

At those words, realization dawned in Jun Mo's gaze. Tales of shattered channels hurling people into the Nine Death Realm had reached his ears before.

Still, such incidents proved exceedingly uncommon, and pinpointing the precise drop point remained a near-impossible feat, especially straight into the Nine Death Realm. Remarkably, Ye Chen now faced precisely that scenario.

"This person must hold great importance to draw a powerhouse of such caliber into the perils of the Nine Death Realm."

Speculation danced in Jun Mo's eyes.

By now, Ye Chen and his allies had reached the Molten Lava Valley as described by the Giant Leader.

Their path had been fraught with savage creatures, for this route once fell under the Golden Winged Great Peng's rule, bestowed upon his beastly underlings, resulting in teeming hordes of ferocious beasts.

Nevertheless, these beasts had witnessed Ye Chen and his group at the Giant Ancestral Land earlier, aware of their overwhelming prowess, so they refrained from obstructing and merely observed their passage.

The Molten Lava Valley lay transformed after the beast tide's fury, its landscape utterly reshaped with bleached skeletons littering the ground everywhere.

However, Ye Chen picked up on traces of Ye Luo's residual aura, making his eyes narrow briefly.

Near Ye Luo's essence lingered another draconic presence, radiating even greater potency and eclipsing the Holy Ancestor Realm.

Moreover, the most striking feature was a clump of thick, sticky flesh sprawled amid the bones throughout the Molten Lava Valley, releasing a putrid odor while pulsing with savage bestial ferocity.

"What in the world is that?"

A slight furrow creased Ye Chen's brow as he suspected Ye Luo might have run into peril here. Examining the flesh mound closer, he identified malevolent qi that aligned with the Evil Battle Demon Monkey the Giant Leader had referenced—a minion of the Golden Winged Great Peng.

Signs of a fierce clash were evident all around, and worry gripped Ye Chen regarding Ye Luo's fate.

Having tumbled into the Nine Death Realm under assault from Xuan Jiyue, Ye Luo likely bore grievous wounds. Although a potent divine dragon aura permeated the site, its loyalties remained ambiguous. Should it bear malice toward Ye Luo, catastrophe would follow.

"No way—I have to track down Ye Luo's location!"

Determination hardened Ye Chen's stare as he isolated a fragment of Ye Luo's aura from the vicinity and activated the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye.

"Boom!"

Boundless energy erupted across the heavens and earth; unfathomable ripples of rules cascaded through the air as Hongmeng Aura surged forth. Suddenly, fragmented visions materialized in Ye Chen's vision, though they shimmered like elusive mirages, too hazy to interpret.

At the same time, Ye Chen's mind flooded with overwhelming data, triggering agonizing throbs that threatened to shatter his skull, as if an aura of annihilation radiated from his very being.

This served as a warning that the laws of heaven and earth prohibited Ye Chen from delving into affairs tied to Ye Luo, hinting at profound karmic ties enveloping her. Despite this, his concern for her well-being drove him to challenge the restrictive forces, compelling the revelation.

"Reveal yourself!"

Ye Chen thundered, channeling vast inner energies, but the scenes persisted like reflections in water or the moon's image, while his eyes wept crimson tears from the rebound.

"Pfft!"

A gush of blood erupted from Ye Chen's mouth, draining his life force in an instant.

Seeing this unfold, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's face tightened momentarily before he cautioned, "Ye Chen, stop pushing so hard, or the rebound might end your life!"

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor knew intimately that the cosmos concealed myriad forbidden mysteries, where even a mere brush could unleash terrifying repercussions beyond measure.

Jun Mo's countenance also paled; ignorant of the exact arcane method Ye Chen wielded, he recognized it as a forbidden glimpse into celestial secrets, defying the mandate of heaven and earth.

"No! I need to reveal Ye Luo's path!"

Resolve burned fiercely in Ye Chen's core; Ye Luo meant the world to him, and he refused to let her suffer any peril.

In that instant, Ye Chen let out a mighty roar, tearing the firmament asunder while torrents of sacred thunder plummeted down. His presence detonated outward, unleashing a tide of ruinous force.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique!"

Silently, Ye Chen invoked the art, as a crimson lunar orb and boundless Hongmeng Aura manifested in his wake.

Hovering ominously overhead, the blood moon shrouded the Nine Death Realm in an ominous veil of devastation, as though poised to shatter the domain itself. Innumerable souls lifted their gazes skyward in abject fear.

Within the endless Hongmeng Energy trailing Ye Chen, veiled by the sanguine glow, faint outlines of the Six Paths of Reincarnation emerged. He aimed to cloak the technique's essence with the blood moon's might and Hongmeng forces to pinpoint Ye Luo's whereabouts.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique embodied boundless splendor, immense and awe-inspiring, rising above all heavenly realms.
