The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3573: Mirror Shattered, Reunion (Part 1)

"We’ll leave right away."

Ye Chen abruptly rose to his feet, soaring into the sky alongside the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. Witnessing this, Jun Mo swiftly cleared the blood from the edge of his lips and trailed after Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Among the trio, Jun Mo remained in the strongest shape. Both Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor bore grave injuries, so he had to shield them.

Having fought these clashes together, Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor came to rely on Jun Mo. Indeed, amid the perils, Jun Mo might have slipped away alone or lurked in concealment, biding his moment to strike and plunder valuables.

Yet Jun Mo chose otherwise, revealing his nobility and dependability as an ally. That's precisely why Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor permitted him to join their path. In their fragile state, they would otherwise stay ever alert to Jun Mo, steering clear of him instead of journeying as one.

The three dashed away with haste, arriving at a domain of total stillness.

They entered a profound and expansive mountain chain, spanning endless distances and harboring numerous Heavenly Giant Trees. Savage creatures' bellows rang out now and then across the ridges.

"This place is good."

Ye Chen's gaze gleamed brightly. Bristling with wild beasts, the mountains overflowed with hazards. But this very peril would veil their own traces among the beasts, rendering it far tougher for pursuers to locate them.

Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor touched down amid the mountains, Jun Mo close by their side.

Innumerable profound valleys dotted the mountains, joined by gentle rivulets. The terrain bloomed with vibrant blossoms and thriving foliage, saturated with rich spiritual energy and an enchanting aroma.

Spotting a cavern, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor rushed inside at once. The pulsing of the Blood Nether’s Heart within grew ever more pronounced, making his frame throb in rhythm, a spectacle utterly peculiar.

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor could hold back the Blood Nether’s Heart no longer; refinement had to begin immediately. If the Blood Nether’s Heart shattered its confines and burst free from him, the entire trio would meet their doom!

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor secluded himself in the cavern for cultivation, while the wounded Ye Chen located a remote area to mend his injuries.

Earlier, Ye Chen had nearly glimpsed traces of Ye Luo. He refused to accept defeat and eagerly awaited his healing to attempt another pursuit.

As Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor entered seclusion, Jun Mo stood alone in the valley, seated in lotus position upon the earth, lids sealed, his essence slowly fading as though erased from the cosmos.

This secret art of Jun Mo's enabled him to mask his aura completely. Detecting or pursuing him through his energy was all but impossible.

Right then, Jun Mo hid his presence to watch over Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor. With the fewest wounds among them, he assumed the guardian's duty. Any hostile intruder would face his rapid assault, a cataclysmic strike that would annihilate them in an instant.

Meanwhile, soon after Ye Chen and his allies departed the Molten Lava Valley, Xuanyuan Moxie abruptly opened his eyes upon a neighboring peak.

"Ye Chen’s aura..."

Xuanyuan Moxie's stare wavered. His wounds had largely recovered, and he intended to probe the mysteries at the waterfall's origin, yet he picked up on Ye Chen’s aura and the ripple of his sacred might.

"This guy actually chased me to this place!"

A surge of lethal intent blazed in Xuanyuan Moxie's eyes, his voice dripping with acrid resentment, for he harbored a fierce vendetta against Ye Chen for severing his arm.

"Damn you, planning to eradicate me? You might not be able to succeed."

Xuanyuan Moxie glanced up at the waterfall’s fount, from which tremendous Source Qi cascaded, his gaze fraught with inner turmoil.

In the instant that followed, he clenched his teeth and ascended, but veered away from the waterfall’s source. Rather, he appeared to enter a pathway carved into the mountain, intent on discovering Ye Chen's schemes.

Upon attaining the mountain's summit, Xuanyuan Moxie found no sign of Ye Chen; he had plainly fled.

Still, as he surveyed the Molten Lava Valley, his pupils narrowed sharply. Four wrathful silhouettes, whose every motion unleashed an aura poised to rend the heavens and shatter the earth, had materialized in the valley.

"The fluctuation from the Blood Nether’s Heart just exploded here, but now it’s gone."

These four were the Heavenly Repairing Realm powerhouses who had sought to conquer the Blood Nether’s Heart. Tracking its essence to this spot, they discovered its energy absent.

Oblivious to the fact that the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had bound the Blood Nether’s Heart within his own heart, they sensed the lingering presences of others in the area.

"It seems these people have taken the Blood Nether’s Heart!"

A Heavenly Repairing Realm expert roared in rage, weaving a hand seal with his fingers and directing it forward.

"Divine light reflecting, shattering and reuniting!"

A dazzling mirror of sacred radiance sprang into being, radiating thick Hongmeng Energy. Visions started to unfold across its surface.

Yet the scenes proved profoundly indistinct, revealing only three hazy outlines clashing against the Blood Nether’s Heart, their identities impossible to discern.

The countenance of another Heavenly Repairing Realm expert shifted faintly, "They must be people of Big Cause and Effect; otherwise, how could they obscure Heavenly Secrets, making this investigation unclear?"

"Hmph, whoever they are, if they dare to take what belongs to me, they must return it!"

Another expert sneered with chill disdain, their form pulsing with fierce killing intent, their gaze alight with endless icy gleam, as their world-ravaging aura trembled the ambient space.

In the mirror, the three shadowy forms ultimately escaped toward the southeast, seizing the four experts' notice.

"Moreover, even if they are bearers of Big Cause and Effect, their strength is merely at the Holy Ancestor Realm. They are no match for us. Kill them, seize the Supreme Fate, and we shall become invincible!"

Stirred by their companion's declaration, they perceived this as their supreme prospect. Even with the vague depictions of Ye Chen and his group, it was plain they hadn't attained the Heavenly Repairing Realm. Three mere Holy Ancestor Realm vermin, burdened with Big Cause and Great Destiny or not, stood no chance against them.

Enlightenment shone in the eyes of the four Heavenly Repairing Realm experts; this presented their ultimate opening. By eliminating Ye Chen and his allies, they could claim the Supreme Fate, ascending to unmatched supremacy—a destiny they were compelled to grasp!

"The Blood Nether’s Heart is no longer important. The Great Destiny Seeker can propel us to success. We must find them!"

One powerhouse unleashed his potency, blanketing the heavens in voluminous Hongmeng Energy, then morphed into a streak of brilliance, hurtling southeastward.

The other three shared a look and pursued without hesitation, their commanding vigor and unyielding resolve clear as they committed to capturing this boon.

Simultaneously, Xuanyuan Moxie beheld the entire scene from the mountaintop, his spirit weighed down heavily.
