The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3613 - 3603: Thunderbolt Ranking (11th Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Lan Ying and Jin Shuhui both visibly reacted, their countenances shifting; the weight of the moment was suffocating! Although the volatile energy radiating from Li Chang’s full-scale eruption wasn't directed at them, it still triggered a visceral sense of dread, as if their lives were mere candles flickering in a violent storm.
When Ye Chen departed from Refining God Peak, he was still quite far from reaching the Heavenly Repairing Realm. How much progress could he possibly have forged in just half a month?
Deep down, they could not suppress their mounting anxiety; Ye Chen appeared woefully underprepared to withstand such a crushing intensity from Li Chang!
In a fleeting heartbeat, that oppressive aura surged forward and engulfed Ye Chen entirely!
A twisted grin spread across Li Chang’s face. In his estimation, the boy Ye Chen would be reduced to silence—if he managed to cling to life at all, that would be a miracle itself.
Yet!
A stunning spectacle unfolded before their very eyes!
Ye Chen remained rooted to the spot within the crushing pressure, his expression cold and completely unshaken!
There was no trace of pain or struggle; Ye Chen appeared perfectly composed, not even showing a flicker of fatigue on his face!
The domineering pressure exerted by a master of the Heavenly Repairing Realm seemed to have vanished into thin air against him!
Ye Chen had recently emerged from the Nine Death Realm, having successfully broken through to the fourth layer of the Heavenly God Realm, even pushing toward the fifth.
This massive leap bolstered his prowess tremendously!
What value did this meager bit of pressure hold against such refinement?
Li Chang—his smug smile withered instantly!
His face flushed a deep, indignant shade, resembling liver!
Utterly embarrassing!
Just moments prior, he was mocking Ye Chen for his perceived ignorance of the Moon Soul Domain; now, enduring his own pressure proved to be little more than child’s play for the youth?
The humiliation was so profound that Li Chang longed to vanish into the earth!
How could this be possible?
How could a mere practitioner of the Heavenly God Realm possibly negate my pressure?
Li Chang felt his composure fracturing!
Sudden empathy for Zhan You’s past frustration swept over him!
This brat is truly an anomaly, impossible to fathom!
Even Qiu Pi kept his eyes narrowed as he watched Ye Chen, his demeanor turning increasingly solemn.
Ye Chen let out a cold, sharp laugh. "What? Is it a guilty pleasure of yours to be labeled as trash? Huh? Does trash have some weird affinity for that title? It truly escapes my comprehension. Enlighten me, why is that?"
Snap—a sound like something invisible shattering echoed through the air!
That was the final thread of Li Chang’s rational restraint!
While Ye Chen's prior insults might have been disregarded had Li Chang regained his status, the current situation was different.
To get slapped across the face again?
To be assaulted, and then ridiculed even more viciously?
If Li Chang could bear this and still claim to be a Heavenly Repairing Realm expert, then everything was a lie!
"Die!!!"
Li Chang bellowed, and from within his figure, a thunderous boom erupted. Much like sea spiritual energy churning through his meridians, vast quantities of power rushed toward him, drawn like moths to a flame!
A spectral silhouette, cloaked in pale blue lightning, manifested behind him. Flicking his wrist, he summoned a long spear, and the roiling thunder immediately fused with the weapon as if it had finally found its true home!
Jin Shuhui and Lan Ying stared on, their faces etched with shock and reverence!
The pale blue electricity emanated a profoundly disturbing aura; every crackling discharge carved jagged fissures into the void, obliterating the surroundings!
Divine Lightning—it was genuine Divine Lightning!
Thunder has always been a devastating force throughout the cosmos. Within the Outer Realm, alongside the hierarchy of Divine Fire, resides the ranking of Divine Thunder!
This register chronicles the hundred most potent types of lightning known to the Outer Realm!
If Lan Ying and Jin Shuhui were not mistaken, the thunder emanating from Li Chang carried the signature of the Zhenlan Evil Thunder, ranked ninety-eighth on that illustrious list!
Do not dismiss a ranking of ninety-eight!
That registry spans across the Star Swirl Domain, the Moon Soul Domain, the Yangzhen Domain, and even the Heavenly Human Domain!
Merely earning a spot on the list is testament to the overwhelming power of the Zhenlan Evil Thunder!
Although Li Chang’s output was merely a trace—not pure—even that minuscule portion was terrifying!
Thunder, by its nature, is the embodiment of ruin and annihilation. Considering Li Chang’s formidable base as a Heavenly Repairing Realm martial artist, blocking this strike would be an Herculean task for Ye Chen!
Conversely, Zhan You and Xu Qi exchanged glances and chuckled!
Ye Chen might be an anomaly, and his impervious nature to the pressure was unexpected, but that was the extent of it.
So what if he ignores a little pressure?
Does this arrogant fool really intend to provoke Li Chang further?
Li Chang was clearly incensed, reaching for his ultimate ace in a desperate bid to slaughter Ye Chen and wash away his disgrace!
And it was all because of Ye Chen’s sharp tongue!
Zhan You peered at Ye Chen with a cold smirk and remarked, "Hehe, Ye Chen, are you feeling satisfied now?"
An instant later, as electricity danced along the long spear, Li Chang moved like a thunder god. He lunged forward, the spear's tip radiating a piercing intent that shook the heavens. Thunder pealed like an enraged dragon from above the Nine Heavens, and the Thunder Qi, infused with the essence of Zhenlan Evil Thunder, coalesced into a fierce, majestic dragon shadow, hurtling toward Ye Chen!
With every thrash of the thunder dragon, the space encompassing Refining God Peak fractured violently; the vegetation covering the mountain was incinerated into ash, and the ocean water began to churn and boil!
In the heavens, rolling thunder flashed as if beckoned by the dragon. Countless sea beasts shrieked as they fled for the deep, while the slower ones were instantly scorched, their bodies crackling with electricity as they drifted to the surface, dead from the sheer shock!
Even with the dragon’s aura largely contained, the mere fluctuation of that Thunder Power was horrifying!
One could only imagine the grim fate of someone struck directly by such a force!
Yet, staring down this onslaught of Zhenlan Evil Thunder, Ye Chen did not attempt to evade!
He flicked his wrist, and a blade of pitch-black steel manifested in his grasp!
The moment that dark sword appeared, Lan Ying’s eyes flickered with intensity!
Even through her severe injuries, her gaze burned bright!
As one belonging to the Six Evil Inheritors, she could distinctly perceive the surging Extreme Evil Energy and the subtle, lingering presence of mighty Dao Integration emanating from the Slaughter Sword!
Ye Chen’s Slaughter Sword had been unsealed!
A hint of sheer delight broke through Lan Ying’s expression—she understood exactly what this portended!
It meant that within the depths of Absolute Sha Heaven, Ye Chen had triumphed in shattering the Evil God Seal!
Hopelessness had gripped her when Li Chang unleashed the Zhenlan Evil Thunder, but now, a flicker of hope reignited in her heart. Breaking the Evil God Seal was an nearly impossible feat, but!
The rewards gained from such an achievement were astronomical!
Perhaps Ye Chen’s defiance was not reckless bravado, but confidence born of true power?
Though it sounded like a delusion, such a possibility bloomed in Lan Ying’s mind... could Ye Chen truly possess the strength to contend with a master of the Heavenly Repairing Realm?
In that very moment, Ye Chen took action.
