The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3570: Blood Nether’s Heart (Sixth Update)

Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Ye Chen dismissed the Giant Leader to attend to tribal matters after learning of the weak Evil Battle Demon Monkey, then continued his journey to the Molten Lava Valley with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo. Jun Mo tentatively inquired about Ye Chen's purpose, receiving only the vague response that he sought someone who had fallen into the Nine Death Realm. Upon arriving at the altered valley strewn with bones, Ye Chen detected Ye Luo's aura alongside a more powerful divine dragon presence and foul, evil flesh remnants suggesting a fierce battle, prompting him to urgently trace her location despite severe heavenly backlash from his probing techniques.

In that instant, upon activating the technique, the view ahead of Ye Chen sharpened abruptly. He faintly perceived mountain range upon mountain range, though Ye Luo's silhouette stayed hidden from sight.

"Show yourself to me!"

Ye Chen's form cracked open right then, rivers of blood pouring out from the gashes. The burden of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique resembled the endless realms pulverizing him, inflicting unbearable torment on Ye Chen.

Despite the agony, Ye Chen pushed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique to its limits in order to track Ye Luo's whereabouts. Just then, the vision in his gaze altered, and although Ye Luo's presence was missing, he had already locked onto Ye Luo's lingering essence.

"Almost there, so close!"

Ye Chen bellowed inwardly, as the crushing force of the myriad heavens intensified upon his frame. Clenching his jaw, he endured with unyielding resolve.

...

Meanwhile, a thousand miles distant from Ye Chen's position, a group of silhouettes soared across the heavens, their presence grand and overwhelming. A ferocious Hongmeng energy swirled about them, every gesture unleashing the ultimate might to rend the firmament.

These silhouettes were assaulting a crimson heart roughly the size of a fist, which radiated an aura of antiquity beyond measure, as though it predated the birth of heaven and earth.

The heart pulsed steadily, each throb unleashing boundless crimson radiance, accompanied by an overpowering force that materialized from nowhere, intent on devouring the epochs.

It even warped the emptiness, ripping apart myriad voids and demolishing countless peaks and valleys.

From the heart surged infinite vital blood, saturating the cosmos, even forming sharp arrows of sanguine essence, razor-edged and world-shattering, capable of piercing through time itself!

Fierce arrows of blood energy kept launching at the encircling figures, but they only burst into unrelenting laughter.

There were four in total, their auras surging with cataclysmic potency. Though marginally outmatched by the heart alone, their united efforts pinned it down with ironclad control.

"Hmph, Blood Nether’s Heart, it's ours today for sure. Cease your resistance!"

One of the besieging powerhouses chuckled triumphantly at that moment, his gaze gleaming with avarice. The Blood Nether’s Heart was a peerless artifact, capable of vastly amplifying strength, and even they yearned for it desperately.

But just then, Ye Chen’s Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique flared to life. Owing to the vast separation, the four attackers remained oblivious, yet the Blood Nether’s Heart throbbed with sudden frenzy.

"Trouble, the Blood Nether’s Heart is berserk!"

The expressions of the four powerhouses twisted in alarm, as a horrifying energy poured from the Heart of Destruction, a wave of annihilation sweeping every direction, like the gates of the underworld swinging open, plunging the skies into utter darkness.

This signified the Blood Nether’s Heart on the verge of detonating itself!

Shock and dread etched across the faces of the four powerhouses. They evaded swiftly, knowing the Blood Nether’s Heart harbored limitless devastation; a self-explosion now would be impossible to survive unscathed, leaving them gravely wounded at best.

"Damn it, would it rather explode than yield to us?" The four powerhouses' countenances darkened profoundly.

The emanations from the Blood Nether’s Heart escalated in terror, as if the world itself were flipping upside down, dooming the myriad realms to ruin. The four powerhouses, souls nearly fleeing in fright, bolted away in evasion.

"Hurry, get out of here!"

The four powerhouses unleashed their maximum velocity, racing desperately afar, all while seething with bitter fury. They never foresaw the Blood Nether’s Heart gaining sentience—artifacts belonged to the worthy, but it spurned submission, choosing oblivion over their refinement.

As the four powerhouses vanished in a flash, the Blood Nether’s Heart abruptly withdrew its energies; it had all been a ruse—a feigned detonation!

"What?!"

The four powerhouses witnessed this turn, staring in stunned disbelief, only to behold the Blood Nether’s Heart blasting forth, slicing through the void and vanishing in an eyeblink.

"That blasted thing is sly as a fox!"

One powerhouse spat curses in fury, his energy exploding outward, unleashing a torrent of sky-splitting, earth-rending power that leveled mountains in its wake.

"We won't let it get away, you sneaky relic—I swear I'll forge you into my own!"

Another powerhouse growled with savage intent, and thus the four surged ahead once more, chasing the faint trail of aura the Blood Nether’s Heart had left.

On the other hand, the Blood Nether’s Heart tore through boundless voids, its nascent consciousness boiling with wrath in that instant.

The master of the Blood Nether’s Heart had perished eons ago, yet at the moment of death, a sliver of awareness lingered within it, yearning for rebirth.

Alas, the Blood Nether’s Heart utterly lacked the means for revival; its original owner, in falling, had been sealed from rebirth by a paramount foe, erased from existence entirely. This fueled an abiding grudge against that supreme adversary.

Even across endless ages, this residual sentience within the Blood Nether’s Heart intensified, enduring myriad trials, with ancient recollections sealed deep in its core.

Yet now, detecting the essence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, the Blood Nether’s Heart's awareness ignited in rage, overflowing with boundless animosity, enough to upheave the celestial order— for the archenemy who slew him long ago was none other than the Samsara Master!

"Samsara Master, you've resurfaced, and I will end you!"

The Blood Nether’s Heart hurtled ferociously toward Ye Chen's spot, pulverizing all space in its path. It had discerned the present Samsara Master's frailty, power even feebler than its own; vengeance was within grasp!

Right then, Ye Chen persisted in driving the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, probing the veils of Heavenly Secrets to pinpoint Ye Luo's position.

As Ye Chen neared triumph, a streak of sanguine glow lanced from the distant skies, brimming with ruinous malice that could sunder worlds, its presence profoundly archaic and surging wildly.

Vast waves of killing intent and grudge stained the heavens, churning gales and tempests, with thunderclaps echoing fiercely.

Upon spotting this crimson gleam, Jun Mo felt his blood surge in response, thrumming with ecstasy and jubilant roars, conveying an insatiable hunger to consume.

Jun Mo instantly recognized the crimson gleam as the Blood Nether’s Heart, the very goal that drew him into the Nine Death Realm—yet now, he shrank from claiming it, for its might and presence eclipsed the Holy Ancestor Realm, ascending to the Heavenly Repairing Realm.

"How has the Blood Nether’s Heart grown so formidable, and why does it seem headed straight for us—what's its intent?"

Jun Mo's features paled in shock, as the Blood Nether’s Heart's outburst unleashed torrents of slaughterous will and bitterness that could shatter sanity, dreadful beyond words; what fathomless vendetta unleashed such ferocity.

In that moment, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor also detected the Blood Nether’s Heart, realizing the lethal animosity and grudge pouring from it targeted Ye Chen alone.

"Ye Chen, halt at once, we're retreating!" The Sky-covering Demon Emperor's expression flickered, his voice barking urgently at Ye Chen.

At the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's call, a flicker of reluctance crossed Ye Chen’s eyes; he was mere moments from glimpsing Ye Luo's form, only for this unforeseen crisis to strike.

Ye Chen had already felt the Blood Nether’s Heart approaching, after all, that apocalyptic, cosmos-rending hostility and rage were locked squarely on him—he couldn't fail to notice.
