The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3665 - 3655: Origins (Nine Updates)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Suddenly, a maniacal burst of laughter exploded from the swirling smoke and dust, crashing like thunder in a cloudless sky right into the consciousness of all onlookers!
Li Xiuyuan lived on!
Despite his critical injuries from Huang Xingtian’s sword strike, Li Xiuyuan refused to fall—leaving just a single explanation...
His integration with the Asura Demon Gu had triumphed!
In that instant, an unimaginable fearsome aura surged forth, blasting away every speck of dust!
All eyes fixed on Li Xiuyuan then, pupils shrinking against their will!
His skin now blazed blood-red, etched with countless dark runes; his frame had stretched noticeably taller, muscles bulging with unyielding density and raw, bursting might!
What's more, his severed arm and the mangled remnants of half his body mended completely in a flash!
Even worse, a thick crimson killing intent poured from Li Xiuyuan, carrying a sickening bloody stench that filled the Moon God Shrine; his very being now sent shivers of terror through several Nine Saint Demon Sect demonic beasts, their blood surging in reverse!
Huang Xingtian, Xu Shenglong, and their companions gaped at Li Xiuyuan in utter shock!
This Asura Demon Gu, heaven-defying as it was, surely had boundaries!
Within the Heavenly Repairing Realm, even peerless prodigies might need a millennium to advance a single minor realm!
For average warriors, such progress remained an impossible dream across lifetimes!
But this Asura Demon Gu had rocketed Li Xiuyuan’s cultivation nearly two whole realms in one go!
It went far beyond simply merging Wu Huo and Li Xiuyuan’s power; this was a skyrocketing surge!
As demonic beasts themselves, Huang Xingtian and the rest possessed acute sensitivity to primordial chaos vitality, detecting Li Xiuyuan’s boost not just in cultivation but a total upgrade—vitality, endurance, everything!
All in all, rumors rang true: the Asura Demon Gu was utterly horrifying!
Little surprise the enigmatic Poisonous Gu Insect Sect resisted hordes of Outer Realm powerhouses for three full days relying solely on this Asura Demon Gu!
Li Xiuyuan’s Gu Refining Technique appeared incomplete—his aura flickered unsteadily, as if adapting, fusion incomplete—but even thus, its impact terrified!
One could only imagine the might of the complete Asura Demon Gu!
Yet the fiercer the Asura Demon Gu, the deeper the hopelessness gripped Huang Xingtian and his allies!
In the Heavenly Repairing Realm, power gaps between minor realms yawned immense; cross-realm battles proved nearly impossible, especially against a monstrous genius like Li Xiuyuan!
An enemy like this could slay them with a single strike...
Right then, resolve blazed in Xu Shenglong’s gaze as he bellowed: "Self-detonate! He’s still settling his aura—self-detonate now, we can’t allow him to threaten Lord Holy Son!"
Hearing him, Huang Xingtian and the rest nodded fiercely, their auras—these four elite Nine Saint Demon Sect prodigies—erupting into wild chaos!
They offered their lives for Ye Chen without a second thought!
Demonic beasts brimmed with savage loyalty; once pledging to a master, their devotion knew no bounds!
To them, dying this way meant glory, utmost honor!
Li Xiuyuan sneered coldly: "Thinking of self-detonation? Heh, who gave you permission?"
Instantly, the churning blood-red slaughter aura roared out like a cosmos-rending storm that could shatter worlds, freezing Xu Shenglong and the others mid-explosion—their raging bloodline demonic power crushed and sealed, beyond their command!
Did Li Xiuyuan’s strength reach such horrifying heights?!
Subduing these young Nine Saint Demon Sect beast geniuses without lifting a finger?
Li Xiuyuan merely glanced at the demonic beasts, effortless as breathing, then casually flexed his form—though motions remained a bit clumsy.
Li Xiuyuan shrugged it off. Clumsy? Who cared? Victory was already his!
Even wiggling a couple toes would suffice to squash these bugs.
At the same time, surging pride filled him as he readied his "brother"!
Li Xiuyuan hailed from the Li family in the Moon Soul Domain.
Countless Li families dotted the Moon Soul Domain, yet only the mightiest earned that prefix!
The Li family might trail the Seven Mysterious Daoist Sect, but it commanded real respect!
Still, Li Xiuyuan wasn’t the patriarch’s heir.
As a premier Moon Soul Domain clan, the Li family boasted vast branches; Li Xiuyuan’s father led a distant side line, far from core bloodlines, holding scant position.
Even then, his father ranked among the Li, enjoying wives and concubines aplenty—Li Xiuyuan’s mother merely one concubine...
In the Li family, servants called him young master, but truly, none valued him...
Yearly, branch disciples vanished mysteriously from the Li family. Outsiders remained clueless, but Li Xiuyuan knew: Direct Descendants had tortured them fatally...
By those core bloodlines!
Without his standout martial talent, Li Xiuyuan would’ve perished long ago...
That talent preserved him, yet ignited envy from countless Direct Descendants. Barred from killing him, they ramped up bullying and isolation!
Li Xiuyuan’s early years drowned in agony from Li family Direct Descendants.
Thus, from childhood, an insane thirst for power consumed him, far beyond normal!
Strength was survival—no matter the cost; weakness spelled doom worse than death!
Until fate delivered an ancient fragmented tome of Gu Cultivation arts and a crimson insect egg...
That day unlocked the Asura Demon Gu’s Gu Cultivation path, driving Li Xiuyuan to frenzy...
Refining his own brother into Gu—if exposed, doom awaited. Direct Descendants could abuse branches freely, but branches dared not reciprocate!
As a branch scion, breaking clan rules meant no talent could shield him!
After all, Direct Descendants feared: kill a branch today, target us tomorrow?
Soon after, Li Xiuyuan’s mother vanished from the Li family, gone forever...
Much later, a Li disciple found a corpse in a nearby cave—a woman’s, limbs hacked off, eyes ripped out, gutted savagely pre-death...
No one knew Wu Huo’s father, but whispers held that for Asura Demon Gu cultivation, closer blood ties between host and planter yielded superior results.
