The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3622 - 3612: Ye Chen’s Ultimate Trump Card (Fifth Update)

The man reflected briefly, deciding not to dwell, and offered a smile: "This territory is known as the Abandoned World Extremity. Those confined here are individuals who perpetrated horrific crimes in the Outer Realm, possessing such immense power that death was not an option. Thus, they were sealed within this abyss by the guardians of the Outer Realm."

His expression darkened with an unsettling glee as he continued: "To put it simply, this serves as a prison for the Outer Realm’s most notorious villains! Kid, would you be interested in striking a bargain with me?"

Ye Chen felt a cold tremor run through his heart upon hearing this revelation!

He studied the mysterious, shadowy figure before him, his gaze flickering with apprehension. Was this person speaking the truth, or was it all a deception?

He had only been attempting to refine the Refining God Peak; how on earth had he stumbled into the Abandoned World Extremity?

Regardless, one truth remained undeniable: the entity before him possessed terrifying strength!

The man let out a soft chuckle: "I possess no motive to lie to you. The Divine Peak you are currently refining was once a structure within this very Abandoned World Extremity."

"Long ago, the denizens of this realm banded together in a desperate bid for freedom. While the attempt failed, the sheer violence of the conflict sent a Divine Peak hurtling into the Outer Realm."

"Therefore, the peak you are refining retains a connection to this world. However, an ordinary individual would be incapable of breaching this place through that relic alone. Only one who transcends the Laws of Heaven and Earth and wields the power of Karma could ever set foot here!"

Ye Chen’s mind spun as he processed the words. Transcending laws? Controlling Karma?

The man’s statements remained cryptic. While Ye Chen commanded significant strength, he was still leagues away from manipulating the whims of Karma.

Observing Ye Chen’s inner conflict, the man offered a faint, thin-lipped smile: "If you harbor doubt, simply accompany me!"

Without waiting for a response, a burst of illumination engulfed them, and both vanished from the location.

On the Refining God Peak, Jin Shuhui and Lan Ying watched Ye Chen with faces etched in anxiety. Jin Shuhui asked in a hushed, worried tone: "Master, what is happening? Even if the refining process failed, shouldn’t Ye Chen have awakened by now?"

"Why does he lie there like a hollow shell, unable to register the presence of his own divine soul?"

Lan Ying regarded Ye Chen with deep confusion, shook her head, and replied: "I lack an explanation for this development. Such a scenario is unprecedented for the masters of the Lan Family… yet, given Ye Chen’s capabilities, he should surely overcome any obstacle!"

At this point, three full days and nights had elapsed since the commencement of the refinement.

As the radiance faded, Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings to find himself atop a soaring peak!

The most jarring realization was that the aura of this mountain was an exact match for the one he had been refining!

Simultaneously, the Samsara Graveyard within him began to vibrate with an intensity that bordered on the cataclysmic!

It felt as though the Graveyard was attempting to shriek a warning.

Could the shaded figure’s claims truly be anchored in reality?

He turned his attention back to the man, paused for a beat, and inquired: "What is this deal you speak of, senior?"

The man flashed a grin: "I require you to slay someone for me."

Ye Chen was taken aback. He had assumed the entity would ask for his release from the Abandoned World Extremity.

Ye Chen offered a wry smile instead: "If someone as formidable as you cannot dispatch this target, what hope do I have?"

A hint of azure sparkled in the man’s eyes: "Not at this moment, naturally. I expect this of you once your cultivation has sufficiently matured."

Ye Chen pressed further, brows furrowed: "Who is this individual you desire to see killed?"

The man tilted his head back, gazing into the hazy firmament, and spoke: "An evil soul, a profoundly wicked individual. The sole survivor of that chaotic era who escaped this prison. Who exactly he is does not concern you for the time being. Are you interested? If you pledge your service, I can bestow upon you the power of laws."

Ye Chen deliberated, locking eyes with the man before answering: "If this target proves to be the villainous entity you describe, I will accept."

In this universe, morality is rarely black and white. One man’s villain is another man’s justice.

Ye Chen made no claim to being a saint, but he harbored no desire to slaughter the innocent simply to satisfy another’s bloodlust.

The man gave a calm nod: "That will suffice."

With a sudden movement, the man flicked his finger, and a trail of silver spiritual energy streaked forward, sinking into the center of Ye Chen’s forehead.

Ye Chen’s consciousness reeled, swept away by brilliant light as though his very soul were undergoing a profound transmutation.

The man’s voice echoed in his mind: "Consider this a blessing of the Outer Heaven Dao, carrying a Soul-cutting Sword forged from my own essence. At its zenith, it can obliterate anything beneath the ninth level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm! But be warned, it can be utilized only once."

As the brilliance subsided, Ye Chen wore a look of profound astonishment. His soul felt refined, crystalline in its purity; a crushing, majestic force—the weight of Great Dao Destiny—seemed to press down upon him.

Looking up at the dark figure, Ye Chen stammered, barely able to process the implications: "Senior, are you…"

Who else could invoke the Outer Heaven Dao, if not the guardians of the Outer Realm?

Yet, why was a guardian entombed within the Abandoned World Extremity?

Was there a parallel between the hundred powerhouses of his Samsara Graveyard and the tragedy of this confined world?

The man clearly had no intention of elaborating, dismissively waving his hand: "Enough. Depart now, Ye Chen—and do not forget the oath you have sworn."

In the next instant, an overwhelming force seized Ye Chen’s soul, ejecting him from the Abandoned World Extremity entirely.

The shadowed figure remained for a moment longer, smiling grimly: "Han Yu, I can only pray this boy succeeds where I have faltered."

Back on the Refining God Peak, Ye Chen’s eyes snapped open as a fierce, aura erupted from his frame. Jin Shuhui and Lan Ying gasped, staggering backward in alarm.

Golden light cascaded over the mountain, shaking the earth itself. A dormant, internal power surged up from the mountain’s depths, attempting to repel the golden influx.

The resistance lasted less than a heartbeat before it was utterly crushed by the overwhelming golden light.

Jin Shuhui and Lan Ying stood frozen, eyes wide with sheer disbelief.

After remaining dormant for three days, Ye Chen had awakened and immediately mastered the Refining God Peak?

Even Ye Chen felt a tremor of surprise; his soul, tempered by the silver light, had more than doubled in density and potency!

He felt capable of challenging even those at the early stages of the Heavenly Repairing Realm using his Soul Dao alone.

Following the successful refinement, a golden mark etched itself onto Ye Chen’s brow. With a single flick of his will, the massive Refining God Peak rapidly dissolved and shrank, vanishing into the mark upon his head.
