The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3606 - 3596: Sealed in Dust (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
“I’m fine.”
Ye Chen shook his head while rising from the stone bed. The intense headache from before he passed out lingered somewhat, leaving him slightly uneasy.
Recalling the memories flooding his mind, Ye Chen let out a soft sigh. In his past life, Xiao Shuihan was the disciple he regarded as the least promising.
Xiao Shuihan possessed a rebellious spirit and stirred up chaos wherever he went, acting like a mischievous demon king. No amount of sincere guidance could alter his ways.
To his surprise, after his former self's downfall, Xiao Shuihan proved to be the most devoted and fervent among them. He even clashed in a desperate battle against Xuan Jiyue on his behalf, and now his location is unknown, his destiny unclear.
“Sigh...”
This realization filled Ye Chen with a touch of sorrow. He recalled how, in his youth, Xiao Shuihan had bragged to his past self about founding the premier sect in the Outer Realm, outshining every realm of heaven.
Simultaneously, Xiao Shuihan had expressed to the Samsara Master of that era his desire for a personal visit when the sect was founded.
Back then, the Samsara Master had dismissed it as youthful bravado from Xiao Shuihan and casually promised to attend.
Little did anyone anticipate that before Xiao Shuihan could establish his sect, the Samsara Master from his previous life had already perished, leaving Xiao Shuihan's dream unfulfilled.
These events touched Ye Chen profoundly; Xiao Shuihan's conduct during his final moments revealed the true depth of this disciple's unwavering loyalty.
“Xiao, I swear to you that this time, I won’t disappoint you. I’ll realize your dream and elevate Six Paths Sect to become the supreme sect of the Outer Realm!”
Ye Chen's gaze flickered with emotion as he silently pledged in his heart. Right then, divine thunder exploded across the heavens, and an overwhelming celestial pressure radiated outward, stirred by Ye Chen's bold vow disrupting the natural order.
“Hmph!”
Gazing at the chaotic skies, a sharp glint appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes. “I will achieve it without fail. What's more, I intend for Six Paths Sect to dominate Emperor Abyss Palace and Xuan Jiyue, trampling them to claim the position of the everlasting, undefeatable foremost sect!”
In that instant, Ye Chen's resolve caused the world to quake, and a peerless, fearsome energy burst forth from him.
An unstoppable imperial presence surged, making Ye Chen appear as if he towered over all the heavens, surveying the cosmos with supreme arrogance, embodying an timeless, unconquerable Sovereign.
Abruptly, an odd feeling arose within his frame, signaling an imminent advancement!
He had been on the verge of reaching the Heavenly God Realm Fourth Layer Heaven. After enduring the Nine Death Realm and gaining insights from his prior existence, the breakthrough came effortlessly!
His power continued to surge upward!
Above, thunder boomed and lightning crackled fiercely!
Mirroring a silhouette that eclipsed the very firmament!
In a mere moment, Ye Chen ascended to the Heavenly God Realm Fourth Layer Heaven!
He even edged toward the Heavenly God Realm Fifth Layer!
Unfortunately, he didn't fully enter that stage; the rising energy came to a stop.
Ye Chen's eyes snapped open, and he sighed, “Such a shame, only the Fourth Layer Heaven, just a half-step from the Fifth...”
“Still, it shouldn't be long now.”
As Ye Chen reflected with regret, a chilly feminine voice echoed from the Slaughter Sword!
“Boy, count your blessings. The reincarnation bloodline inherently restricts your cultivation progress and breakthroughs. If the warriors of the Outer Realm learned how quickly you're advancing, they'd likely keel over from envy.”
Xuan Han Yu!
Ye Chen felt a spark of astonishment, hardly expecting Xuan Han Yu to stir awake once more!
“Fairy Xuan, you're awake again!”
Upon hearing Ye Chen, Xuan Han Yu replied calmly, “The Outer Realm suits me better, allowing my power to recover at a quicker pace. Besides, that formation Mo Wutian set up proved immensely beneficial for me.”
“Oh, regarding your advancement—even reaching only the Fourth Layer Heaven means the initial three layers mark the beginner phase of the Heavenly God Realm. From the Fourth Layer onward, you truly enter the intermediate stage of the Heavenly God Realm. This unleashes a monumental transformation in you, extending far beyond mere cultivation or physical might!”
A hint of joy lit Ye Chen's face as he asked eagerly, “Is that true?”
Xuan Han Yu went on, “Why would I deceive you? Simply sense your spiritual awareness and Soul Dao!”
Closing his eyes, Ye Chen probed briefly, and soon his expression burst with uncontainable thrill!
His divine soul, his Soul Dao, had soared to astonishing heights!
One could say that in Soul Dao alone, he could overwhelm experts at the early Heavenly Repairing Realm!
Xuan Han Yu offered a rare grin before suppressing it. “Furthermore, the core Slaughter Heaven essence of the Slaughter Sword has unlocked. Though you can't yet tap into the sword's full, immense might, as your own power grows, so will the Slaughter Sword's! If you doubt it, just connect with the Slaughter Sword!”
Without delay, Ye Chen directed his attention to the Slaughter Sword in the Samsara Graveyard!
It was real!
The energy pouring from the Slaughter Sword grew increasingly dreadful!
It even bore a trace of enigma!
“Ye Chen, moreover, if you now activate Soul-Devouring and Destruction Divine Dao, you'll sense the profound boost this advancement provides! At this point, you could substantially challenge some lesser early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm foes!”
Ye Chen had never dreamed of such rewards from this single breakthrough!
The excitement was overwhelming!
“Very well, I'll retreat into slumber again and emerge if necessary.”
Moments later, the voice from the Slaughter Sword fell silent once more.
Wei Ying and her companions, observing this spectacle, displayed odd looks on their faces, puzzled by how Ye Chen, fresh from his unconscious state, unleashed such a formidable presence and even achieved a breakthrough!
Jun Mo and Xiao Bai were particularly stunned, their eyes bulging wide. The aura radiating from Ye Chen nearly compelled them to drop to their knees.
Realizing at that point that his aura flare might stir issues, Ye Chen composed himself and turned to Wei Ying and the rest.
“Given that the Sacred Origin Heart could tie back to Six Paths Sect, I've resolved to head there.”
Ye Chen stated evenly. In truth, his journey to Six Paths Sect wasn't solely for the Sacred Origin Heart; he also wished to witness the sect Xiao Shuihan had created and assess its current state.
“Then I'll depart as well. I'll stay vigilant about the Sacred Origin Heart situation, but right now, I must go handle some personal matters.”
Wei Ying spoke frankly, though it served as a cover. Her true motive for leaving was to shield Ye Chen from the Outer Realm pursuers who sought her life, avoiding any calamity for him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked intently at Wei Ying before nodding. “Fine, if danger finds you, reach out to me at once. I'll come to your aid without question.”
“Alright.”
A faint smile graced Wei Ying's eyes as she climbed onto Wu Mang and rode off alongside Xiao Bai.
Next, Ye Chen regarded the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo, noticing the Sky-covering Demon Emperor lost in contemplation, perhaps absorbing some fresh intelligence.
“What's going on?”
Ye Chen arched a brow faintly and inquired.
