The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3580: Water Origin
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
"Cough..."
After barreling through innumerable mountain ridges, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor collapsed into the sludge, his face drained of color.
He struggled to stand, yet his frame acted like soft clay, lacking any strength; the turmoil of demonic qi and blood essence raging within only aggravated his wounds further.
In the end, pitting one against four, it was remarkable that the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had managed to face off against the four brothers at the Heavenly Repairing Realm using his recently gained might, but now he lay critically wounded and couldn't muster the energy to fight on.
"He’s over there!"
The third brother's eyes sharpened as he pinpointed the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's position, yelling out in rage without delay.
"Kill him!"
A cold glint filled the eldest brother's gaze, and he leaped to his feet to unleash a strike, all while discreetly conveying a warning to his three siblings.
"Beware of those two kids; don’t let the unexpected turn the tide."
"Understood."
The four brothers at the Heavenly Repairing Realm traded looks, their expressions morphing into deeply malicious smirks, and they materialized overhead the Sky-covering Demon Emperor in the very next instant.
"Your strength is indeed impressive, but it’s a pity, facing the four of us, you inevitably won’t escape death!"
Looming over the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, the eldest brother declared with smug satisfaction.
"Humph!" Despite the searing agony, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor could barely lift himself, but his presence stayed fierce, staring down the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers with contempt.
"The final victor is uncertain."
A enigmatic grin spread across the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's lips; right then, a profound sense of danger washed over the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers, stirring deep unease in their hearts.
"Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash!"
Ye Chen's shout rang out abruptly; to the east of the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers, a pair of blood moons ascended, erupting with ferocious blood moon energy that pierced the sun's rays and rent the heavens.
"Ha, we’ve been waiting for you!"
The eldest brother unleashed a sinister chuckle at that point, as the four brothers combined their efforts, unleashing a torrent of malevolent qi that coalesced into a beam of infernal glow, hurtling straight at Ye Chen.
"Don’t forget there’s me too!"
Right then, Jun Mo materialized to the west of the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers, his blood essence exploding outward in a frenzy, with waves of crimson light sweeping across everything.
A cataclysmic energy permeated the air, as a grand pillar of blood essence light thundered forward to assail the four.
"You won’t succeed either!"
The eldest brother sneered with disdain, and the four brothers attacked once more, their overpowering evil qi forming into myriad spikes of darkness, battering Jun Mo like a relentless tempest.
"Boom!"
The heavens shattered in that instant, with Ye Chen and Jun Mo struck by the devastating force, spewing blood as they were hurled back.
Witnessing this, the four brothers bared their teeth in vicious delight; their scheme had unfolded flawlessly, and triumph was theirs!
In that very moment, the brothers failed to notice that above them, a rift brimming with demonic qi had formed, unleashing an infinite cascade of Samsara floodwater that poured down crushing everything.
"Not good!"
The eldest brother felt the crushing threat bear down, glancing upward to behold the overwhelming force, as though the realms of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were crumbling, with binding energies at their zenith ensnaring them all at once.
"No escape!"
Their faces twisted in horror; they had no grasp of this water's immense might.
This supreme force sent shivers across their scalps, rendering resistance impossible; the apocalyptic collision barreled through, utterly dominant and impossible to halt.
"No!"
The brothers bellowed in desperation, even igniting their life force to try staving off the colossal Samsara floodwater, summoning yet another shadow of the Evil God in their rear.
Yet in this critical juncture, all efforts proved futile; space, evil qi, every form of power crumbled helplessly before the formidable Samsara floodwater, getting pulverized and erased in a flash.
"Boom!"
Like an eternal torrent from on high, the Samsara floodwater plummeted, shattering the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers in an explosive burst; a vast surge of blood essence flooded the land, even spurring the surrounding vegetation to erupt in growth, a young shoot transforming into a massive tree in mere moments.
The Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers met their end in an instant; Ye Chen watched the spectacle, exhaling deeply in relief as he pushed himself up from the earth, completely spent.
"Cough..."
Jun Mo's feeble call came next; he had slammed into a hillside and now clambered out from the rubble, covered in blood, though his gaze sparkled with thrill.
At the same time, the fatigued Sky-covering Demon Emperor dragged himself from the mire, and amid the vast mountainscape, the trio exchanged knowing smiles.
Confronting the four Heavenly Repairing Realm brothers had posed a dire peril like never before, barely surmounted by the combined resolve of Ye Chen and his allies.
This fierce clash forged an unbreakable bond between Jun Mo and Ye Chen, turning them into true brothers through life and death.
The abrupt emergence of Samsara floodwater from the skies had blindsided the brothers, but in truth, it stemmed from the cunning scheme devised by Ye Chen and his companions.
While the Sky-covering Demon Emperor shielded Ye Chen and Jun Mo within his demonic qi, Ye Chen had orchestrated this very turn, fully aware that the Sky-covering Demon Emperor stood little chance alone against four Heavenly Repairing Realm foes.
He had thus harnessed the demonic qi for cover, channeling vast amounts of Samsara floodwater into the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's demonic qi domain, mirroring the techniques of Xuanyuan Moxie.
Then, as the brothers' vigilance waned, he unleashed the Samsara floodwater, obliterating them with a single, decisive blow.
"Once I’ve reclaimed the Samsara floodwater, we’ll leave."
A grin tugged at Ye Chen's mouth; steadying his breathing and restoring a bit of his energy, he set about recovering the Samsara floodwater.
In the meantime, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo focused on cultivation to mend their wounds.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor in particular bore grievous harm from unleashing such a ferocious clash right after his breakthrough.
On top of that, in refining the Blood Nether’s Heart, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had incurred subtle internal damage, along with a lingering curse from the Blood Nether’s Heart's lingering intent.
This curse originated from a once-mighty overlord, and even in death, its remnant carried heavy karmic weight.
Therefore, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor required Ye Chen’s Samsara floodwater to purge the dreadful curse.
As the Sky-covering Demon Emperor purified the curse within the Samsara Graveyard, Ye Chen gathered back every drop of the Samsara floodwater.
Afterward, Ye Chen and his group departed the mountains, heading to a more isolated spot to recuperate and return to their prime condition.
Not far from the Molten Lava Valley, inside a cavernous peak, Xuanyuan Moxie positioned himself in a realm overflowing with profound Source Qi, shrouded in enigma.
This domain stretched endlessly, brimming with awe-inspiring grandeur, as supreme forces of Great Power infused every corner; overhead in the realm's firmament hung the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map, with celestial bodies radiating genuine starlight.
Upon the ground of this space flowed myriad rivers, each stream bearing unique essences, as if this were the birthplace of all waters, the primal origin point.
"Water Origin..."
Xuanyuan Moxie gradually parted his eyelids; this arcane realm lay beyond the waterfall's headwaters, and he had already attuned to the Power of Water Origin dwelling within this origin world.
In the following breath, a haze of vapor filled Xuanyuan Moxie's vision, where innumerous rivers churned within the fog; he fixed his sight on a rock, and fine rivulets seeped from its surface.
These rivulets held savage, world-rending erosion, swiftly melting the stone away completely.
Moments later, he turned to a seedling, and moisture condensed upon it, enveloped in the mist; it swiftly expanded into a colossal tree, the vapor teeming with boundless life force.
"I’ve roughly mastered Water Origin Power..."
A cryptic smile played on Xuanyuan Moxie's lips; over this period, he hadn't just grasped the Water Origin Power—he had also ascended to the Heavenly Repairing Realm.
Soon enough, he would assimilate the full potency of the Water Origin Power from this place, and then the hour of vengeance against Ye Chen would arrive, his retribution fulfilled.
"Wait for it; I’ll show you the meaning of despair!"
Xuanyuan Moxie uttered with icy venom.
