The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3644 - 3634: Kneel! (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Still, anger simmered inside him too. Ye Chen wasn't known for his patience from the start. Enduring Xu Shenglong's constant provocations without exploding was already a huge concession to the Star Moon Palace!
Right then, Xu Shenglong unleashed a booming tiger roar like thunder. Inside the Star Moon Palace, weaker disciples shrieked in agony, blood streaming from their ears from the roar's power!
Boundless demonic energy erupted from Xu Shenglong's form. The golden robe on him glowed brilliantly at once. Vast power churned inside as he launched yet another fist straight at Ye Chen!
For this strike, Xu Shenglong held back his demonic energy once more, depending solely on his body's raw might!
But this blow far surpassed that earlier casual grasp, at least five times more potent!
The punch whipped up a ferocious gale, turning the hall's top-tier furnishings to powder in the raging wind!
Nan Fengyin, Yuan Ping, and the rest watched with eyes widening in shock. Was this the might of a Nine Saint Demon Sect disciple?
The strike looked like pure bodily force, yet it truly wielded flawless power control infused with Heavenly Dao intent!
Such intent wasn't forced through study but arose instinctively when power mastery hit its peak!
The Divine Dao power gained this way, through natural flow, outstripped any from standard comprehension!
This Dao touched the Heavenly Dao's core essence, nearly free of flaws!
Ordinary folks couldn't mimic it even if they tried—the only path lay with those blessed by freakish martial talent!
Nan Fengyin had risen as Ling Yun's successor for good reason, but across her countless years of martial pursuit, such innate Heavenly Dao grasp occurred scarcely three times!
What about Xu Shenglong?
From his Great Dao Intent's potency, hundreds of insights would be needed at minimum!
Of course, gaining Divine Dao solely this way had downsides, like the absurdly long time required—thousands or tens of thousands times beyond normal paths!
Demonic beasts enjoyed vast lifespans, though, so Xu Shenglong had time aplenty, right?
This year, he hadn't even hit a thousand!
Demon clan born with such insane martial gifts—utterly heaven-defying, his potential boundless!
Most shocking: Xu Shenglong wasn't even the Nine Saint Demon Sect's top prodigy...
The onlookers shook their heads in pity. Ye Chen prying open Xu Shenglong's arm stunned them, but that was the extent of it...
Though Xu Shenglong's attack stuck to raw physical power, once it bore that pristine Great Dao Intent, victory seemed sealed.
Right when all assumed Ye Chen would fall to Xu Shenglong's blow, a stunning demonic energy burst forth in the Star Moon Palace hall!
The moment they felt this energy, Nan Fengyin and others paled in disbelief and confusion...
Why?
This demonic energy didn't stem from Xu Shenglong!
It poured from Ye Chen!
Ye Chen fixed a icy stare on Xu Shenglong, flames of suppressed rage burning in his gaze!
Pitting demonic energy against strength? In the Heavenly Repairing Realm, he'd crush anyone!
Immense, defiant power surged in him, fist pulled back from his chest, Destruction Divine Dao aura blooming from the knuckles, poised to unleash!
Ye Chen had truly tired of Xu Shenglong; this punch aimed to smash him completely, no comeback possible, so he activated his Heavenly Demon Body!
He eyed Xu Shenglong's approaching fist with a cold smirk—clearly, the guy took pride in himself, beaten in raw power before, now desperate to reclaim it the same way?
Heh, too bad—on pure strength, Ye Chen feared no rival!
Instantly, he countered with his own punch!
This strike showed no spiritual energy traces either, but it sent shivers through every soul present!
Not a weakling among them could sense the colossal force packed into that fist!
What stunned Star Moon Palace folk most was Ye Chen's demon clan bloodline—and a supremely noble one at that!
Even as Ye Chen's demonic energy flared, Xu Shenglong trembled, golden gleam fading from his eyes, terror etching his features!
Like bloodline oppression crushing him!
This blew past all expectations...
As nephew to the Nine Saint Demon Sect's Demon Emperor, Xu Shenglong's lineage was no trifle. Overpowering him demanded a monstrous bloodline!
Suddenly, all eyes on Ye Chen shifted dramatically!
Demons revered bloodlines above all; with Ye Chen's fearsome one, he likely commanded huge sway in demon ranks too!
Xu Shenglong's face twisted most wildly!
Mere heartbeat before fists met, he clenched his jaw, shrugged off his wound, twisted his punch mid-flight, and slammed undefended into Ye Chen's strike!
Star Moon Palace witnesses froze in their minds at the sight!
What in the world was this?
Ye Chen creased his brow faintly, pulling back his fist and scattering its power just before impact on Xu Shenglong.
On Dao insight, Ye Chen towered over Xu Shenglong!
How else could he grasp Destruction Divine Dao?
Truth was, Ye Chen's Great Dao Intent held scant impurities too, merely veiled so deeply few noticed.
Why? Even Xuan Han Yu puzzled over it. Ye Chen's Dao came from deliberate study, so by rights, his Divine Dao should carry flaws like any normal cultivator's—yet every grasp of his synced flawlessly with All Heavens Dao's essence!
Ye Chen mimicked innate mastery via standard paths!
Xuan Han Yu figured it tied to Ye Chen's prior life!
Xu Shenglong's arm bone snapped from the forced punch redirect, but for demons, such a trifle meant zilch.
Now, he brushed off the break, dropping to his knees before Ye Chen amid the stunned crowd!
The grand hall fell into utter silence, jaws dropping everywhere...
Elite demons, famed for unyielding arrogance and scorning death over shame, actually knelt?
Ye Chen stared in bewilderment at Xu Shenglong—even by demon norms, this guy seemed downright dim-witted...
One second locked in fierce battle, the next on his knees?
