The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3680 - 3670: The Unbridgeable Chasm! (Fifth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
As these words echoed, Ye Chen's aura quivered fiercely, unleashing an unstoppable force that surged outward, cloaked in immense Hongmeng Energy, which seemed to turn into boundless fog, swallowing up everyone around.
"I want to become the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect!"
Ye Chen's declaration left the crowd dumbfounded, their eyes locking onto him in utter shock, unable to grasp how he could voice such brazen claims.
Wu Duan Cang himself stared at Ye Chen in astonishment right then, struggling to believe that Ye Chen would utter something so outrageous.
After all, the Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array had already scanned Ye Chen's bloodline and talent, revealing his terribly low aptitude. He couldn't fathom how Ye Chen had the nerve to demand this amid such results.
Right then, however, Wu Duan Cang recalled his close friend's words about a supreme genius at Refining God Peak in the Star Swirl Domain—and that genius was none other than Ye Chen.
Wu Duan Cang understood his friend's character well—arrogant to the core, rarely complimenting the younger generation—yet he had lavished praise on Ye Chen, marking him as truly exceptional.
Now, facing the Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array's findings that confirmed Ye Chen's weak bloodline and talent, Wu Duan Cang saw Ye Chen boldly and fearlessly declare his intent to claim the Chief Disciple position in the Six Paths Sect.
The Chief Disciple spot in the Six Paths Sect stood vacant at that time.
Wu Duan Cang peered deeply into Ye Chen's eyes; perhaps Ye Chen was indeed remarkable. What if the Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array failed to detect his true bloodline? What if Ye Chen's bloodline and talent exceeded what the array could measure? A genius like that would be a tremendous boon to the whole Six Paths Sect!
Ye Chen's bold proclamation enraged countless elders and disciples present.
Their auras exploded upward, as a thick wave of murderous intent amassed above, coalescing into a savage, horrifying dragon of slaughter that glared at Ye Chen, poised to attack instantly.
Most in the Six Paths Sect scorned Ye Chen deeply, convinced he was just bluffing; his insolent demand screamed pure hubris.
"Sect Master, this kid shows no respect for us—let me step in and end him!"
One elder leaped to his feet in fury, wild energy bursting forth, while a majestic, enigmatic mountain loomed behind him.
This mountain radiated a strange presence, like the world's most profound existence, exuding regal might that instilled dread in the Six Paths Sect disciples.
"Hmph, Sect Master, leave him to me—I swear I'll make this brat beg for death without granting it!"
Another elder rose, savage power erupting; he was burly and towering, like a hulking beast, his every motion radiating crushing dominance that rent the heavens and cracked the void.
This burly elder fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, eyes brimming with boundless murder, clearly at the end of his patience.
Ye Chen confronted the onslaught with perfect calm, betraying no fear; the raging killing intent whipped his robes wildly, but he stood firm without flinching.
Yet this poise alone shocked quite a few onlookers.
Elder Dao Pao glanced involuntarily at Wu Duan Cang; their eyes met, strange gleams flashing between them.
Suddenly, from the throng of Six Paths Sect disciples, a famed youth in white robes stepped forward, gripping his Dragon Slayer Sword, his stare icy on Ye Chen.
"Why trouble the elders with this presumptuous fool? Let us disciples crush him and teach a lesson!"
The youth rose and declared loudly, then turned to Ye Chen, his gaze seething with murderous contempt and scorn.
"Ye Chen, to claim Chief Disciple, does your power even persuade anyone here?"
"I, Liu Yunmiao, am an internal sect disciple of the Six Paths Sect—my power is just middling—but I challenge you. Fail to beat me, and get lost!"
Liu Yunmiao glared at Ye Chen with fierce killing intent, his aura exploding suddenly, rattling the skies; surprisingly, he was a second-level Heavenly Repairing Realm cultivator.
The Six Paths Sect boasted solid roots, so despite its downturn, its disciples outshone many from Moon Soul Forces, merely short on fame.
Among Six Paths Sect disciples, second-level Heavenly Repairing Realm wasn't elite.
Still, Liu Yunmiao enjoyed strong popularity among peers, drawing much backing. As he stepped up, numerous disciples erupted in cheers.
Seeing this scene, Elder Dao Pao and Wu Duan Cang shared a quick glance, their brows furrowing faintly.
Even supposing Ye Chen possessed the extraordinary bloodline and talent they imagined, capable of shocking the All Heavens, it remained utterly impossible for him—at the fifth level of the Heavenly God Realm—to triumph over Liu Yunmiao in the Heavenly Repairing Realm.
"This..." Wu Duan Cang paused briefly, on the verge of intervening to halt the fight, yet Ye Chen simply offered a serene smile.
"Hehe, since you've issued the challenge, refusing would seem improper, but could you give me a few minutes?"
Whether from the enlightenment of the Six Paths Sect or the power of the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow.
Ye Chen faintly felt on the cusp of advancing to the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm.
Ye Chen's reply stunned every disciple of the Six Paths Sect, while numerous elders displayed shocked looks.
Was Ye Chen suggesting a breakthrough just before the clash? Even with such a breakthrough, he couldn't possibly rival Liu Yunmiao. The gap between Heavenly God Realm and Heavenly Repairing Realm was vast, impossible to bridge!
"Hahahaha!"
Liu Yunmiao erupted in laughter at Ye Chen's words, his eyes blazing with intensified killing intent; he took it as outright mockery.
In Liu Yunmiao's view, Ye Chen's phrasing hinted at disdain toward him, as if battling a Heavenly God Realm opponent shamed a Heavenly Repairing Realm expert.
Yet Liu Yunmiao dismissed it all; Ye Chen's overbearing attitude disgusted him, and he refused to let untalented pretenders sully the Six Paths Sect—that would be an outrage he wouldn't tolerate.
With a icy stare fixed on Ye Chen, Liu Yunmiao declared, "If you want to rest, then rest."
"But heed this warning: if you still can't match me afterward, no excuses—leave the Six Paths Sect at once and stay away forever, or face death by my hand!"
Ye Chen's eyebrows arched slightly at these words, though he replied steadily, "Fine, I agree, but should I win, you'll serve as my servant."
"You dare demand Brother Yunmiao as your servant? You're begging for death!"
"Forcing Brother Yunmiao to be your servant? You're seeking death!"
Several disciples loyal to Liu Yunmiao couldn't restrain their angry rebukes upon hearing Ye Chen.
"Hmph, such arrogance! Brother Yunmiao ought to slay you in one blow and reveal your fraud!"
Ye Chen cast a chilling glance across them as their chatter grated on him; no matter his intent to ignore, their prattling stirred deep irritation.
A single gaze brimmed with ferocious menace, akin to a Supreme Sovereign's ruthless glare or the Heavenly Lord's scornful overlook of mere insects; that disdain and frigid murder aura left countless disciples frozen, limbs chilled to the bone.
