The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3691 - 3681: Whereabouts of the Sacred Origin Heart (Seventh Update)

A horrifying force looked ready to obliterate the All Heavens and shatter the Universe, as boundless starlight and Netherworld Energy pulverized Zhou Jin like a merciless millstone.

Right now, the massive hammer clutched in Zhou Jin’s grasp wasn’t just impossible to swing—it got obliterated in a flash, while an overwhelming pressure simultaneously bore down on him.

"Damn it!"

Sensing this dreadful pressure, Zhou Jin’s face twisted drastically. He understood he couldn’t endure it, highlighting the Refining Array’s sheer terror and filling him with profound dread.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Inside the formation, every trace of existence, be it space or light, was utterly eradicated by the starlight and Netherworld Energy, dissolving into infinite nothingness.

Gathering every shred of his power, Zhou Jin shrouded himself in boundless spiritual energy to battle the formation’s relentless grinding. However, his frame grew heavier with each passing second, his countenance turned grimmer, and his aura spiraled into disorder.

"Does this boy really want to suppress and kill me!"

This awareness struck Zhou Jin with terror. He couldn’t fathom Ye Chen’s audacity in attempting to slay a sect elder—an outright betrayal.

Yet in that instant, Zhou Jin lacked time to grieve Ye Chen’s brutality. He refused to waver, desperately seeking to flee the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation at once, lest he perish for real.

"You brat, remember this, we are irreconcilable!"

Zhou Jin bellowed in furious resentment, abruptly drawing forth a golden colossal hammer. This hammer radiated a formidable aura brimming with boundless might; it was his supreme treasure.

His features warped into savagery as Zhou Jin abruptly flung the golden giant hammer skyward.

"Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer, sacrifice!"

To break out of the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation, Zhou Jin sacrificed the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer itself!

Onlookers among disciples and elders paled dramatically at the sight. This was Zhou Jin’s pinnacle magic treasure, yet he yielded it up, betraying the mortal peril assailing him within the array.

Gasps rippled through the crowd, dawning on them Ye Chen’s savage ruthlessness. No gentle soul was he, subtly shifting Lei Rong and others’ faces. Should they have angered Ye Chen before and truly provoked his wrath, that formation could have smelted them into oblivion!

Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao gaped at Ye Chen in astonishment too, unprepared for his iron resolve in unleashing the formation to crush and eliminate Zhou Jin outright. A brazen defiance of the heavens, utterly unchecked!

In the meantime, the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer ascended, bursting with infinite radiance as golden beams spanned the All Heavens amid a sweeping fearsome aura.

The Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer’s sacrifice unleashed devastating force from Zhou Jin, razor edges slashing wildly around him.

"Explode for me!"

Zhou Jin’s aura rocketed to its zenith then. He hammered the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation with his ultimate blow, ripping a sudden breach before bolting away in blind panic.

Ye Chen’s merciless boldness had truly scared Zhou Jin witless; the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation proved far too formidable. Even sacrificing the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer granted only a fleeting rift, so he fled without pause—any reentrapment meant certain death.

Zhou Jin’s desperate flight stupefied disciples and elders alike, leaving them aghast as they stared at the colossal formation cloaking Netherworld Peak.

"Everyone, aren’t you leaving? Do you desire to experience the formation?"

Ye Chen’s voice echoed out while the formation shuddered fiercely, poised to trap and refine all those assembled.

Ye Chen’s warning blanched the elders’ faces, etching fear across the disciples’ features.

Only moments before, Ye Chen had commanded the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation to nearly smelt and pin Zhou Jin—a chilling display of his ferocity that petrified them, spurring a frantic exodus to evade refinement.

Elders seethed inwardly at Ye Chen’s flouting of rank and utter disdain for them. They nursed grudges in secret, vowing reprisal against him at the earliest chance before departing.

As the crowd scattered, Ye Chen’s gaze stayed serene. The Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation’s energy ebbed away into hiding, restoring calm to the hall once more.

"Senior Brother."

Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao, eyes alight with awe, bowed with cupped fists and hailed Ye Chen respectfully.

After observing the recent events, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao developed profound respect for Ye Chen, struck by his ruthless decisiveness that showed no regard for an elder's dignity.

"Thanks for your help today. Come, let’s have tea."

With a serene smile, Ye Chen beckoned the pair to the jade stone table in the hall, positioned near the Netherworld Spirit Water.

Spotting the Netherworld Spirit Water, faint shifts appeared on Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao’s faces. Its spiritual energy radiated with unmatched purity, obviously the source of Netherworld Peak’s strange disturbance.

"Senior Brother, you’ve gained a treasure land."

Yang Qianyu blurted out in awe. Simply being close to the Netherworld Spirit Water filled him with potent spiritual energy surging through his nose and mouth, leaving him utterly refreshed.

"Just luck."

Ye Chen answered nonchalantly, encouraging them to enjoy the tea.

Upon sipping the tea, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao’s eyes widened in shock. Infused with Netherworld Spirit Water, the brew carried its incredibly pure spiritual energy. In that instant, one taste sent the energy inside their bodies into wild tremors, boosting their cultivation slightly.

"This spring water is truly extraordinary."

Yang Qianyu fixed his gaze on the Netherworld Spirit Water, silently marveling at its wonders.

Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao were both honorable cultivators. Though they coveted the Netherworld Spirit Water’s allure, they harbored no intentions to steal or claim it—that very righteousness convinced Ye Chen to welcome them into the main hall for tea.

The trio conversed leisurely for a bit. After downing plenty of tea, Yang Qianyu sensed his realm loosening anew and promptly bid farewell.

At this sight, Ye Chen arched an eyebrow faintly. Yang Qianyu’s bloodline talent proved exceptional, and the Netherworld Spirit Water was nothing short of miraculous. Tea alone had sparked his breakthrough. Even without fully advancing later, his power would surge noticeably.

With Yang Qianyu advancing so swiftly, Liu Yunmiao—whose realm lagged behind—felt his inner qi quiver far more intensely. Already teetering on breakthrough’s edge, he now risked summoning a Heavenly Tribulation any second.

"Master, I must take my leave."

Liu Yunmiao glanced at Ye Chen, his voice tinged with embarrassment.

Left alone with Ye Chen, Liu Yunmiao clung to his servant role and made his request.

Ye Chen dismissed it with a wave, stating calmly, "Call me Senior Brother. No need to go; break through here, and make Netherworld Peak your home from now on."

Netherworld Peak outshone Liu Yunmiao’s current cultivation site by leaps and bounds. Stunned yet touched by the invitation, he felt deeply moved.

Cultivating at Netherworld Peak promised Liu Yunmiao swifter progress, and tempted by the prospect, he accepted eagerly.

This served as Ye Chen’s reward for Liu Yunmiao’s loyalty to their bet, even aiding him through grave dangers.

Liu Yunmiao then climbed to Netherworld Peak’s summit for his breakthrough. Fierce divine lightning roared down, yet the skilled Liu Yunmiao conquered the Tribulation lightning effortlessly.

The Six Paths Sect members watched, grinding their teeth in fury. Liu Yunmiao clearly reaped huge rewards from serving Ye Chen, intensifying their grudge. They pinned it all on Ye Chen seizing Netherworld Peak.

"Damn ant! Do not let me seize the opportunity, or I will surely take Netherworld Peak and let you suffer enduring torment, wishing for death!"

From his cultivation spot, Zhou Jin glared toward Netherworld Peak, eyes blazing with murderous intent, his cold words dripping venom.

Post-breakthrough, Liu Yunmiao settled at Netherworld Peak, serving Ye Chen loyally.

Ye Chen spent those days in seclusion by the Netherworld Spirit Water, cultivating intently to solidify his fresh realm and inch toward the next breakthrough.

"If I advance further, it’s estimated that it won’t be long before reaching the Heavenly God Realm Seventh Level."

"This way, there’s a chance with the three-month agreement with the Star Moon Palace."

"Once all the opportunities here are absorbed, I can set out for the Dark Domain."

Ye Chen's eyes flashed momentarily. Freshly stepping into the Sixth Level of the Heavenly God Realm, he knew rushing ahead could destabilize his foundation completely. Besides, reaching the Seventh Level of the Heavenly God Realm demanded certain opportunities that hadn't appeared; hence, Ye Chen stayed patient without haste.

Over the following days, Ye Chen grew acquainted with Liu Yunmiao. Right now, both sat in the main hall, Ye Chen fixing his flickering gaze on Liu Yunmiao.

"Junior Liu, are you aware of the Sacred Origin Heart?"

Liu Yunmiao's expression shifted faintly upon hearing this. He stared intently at Ye Chen before nodding and replying, "Naturally. The Sacred Origin Heart was once the holy treasure of our Six Paths Sect."

"I've heard that as well, though rumors claim the Sacred Origin Heart vanished mysteriously with Sect Master Yin Zunxiao. Who knows if it's accurate."

Ye Chen remarked offhandedly.

"Senior Brother, I'm not sure either."

Liu Yunmiao's face altered, seeming to waver as he responded with reluctance.

Ye Chen's mind twitched at the sight. Clearly, Liu Yunmiao held some knowledge, yet the Sacred Origin Heart's gravity made him withhold trust from Ye Chen fully, refusing to reveal anything.

Sensing Liu Yunmiao's reluctance, Ye Chen refrained from pushing, simply nodding softly without further questions.

In these recent days, Ye Chen remained on Netherworld Peak, yet his reputation echoed across the entire Six Paths Sect.

Disciples throughout the sect hailed Ye Chen as a prodigy of rare talent, besting Heavenly Repairing Realm foes while merely at the Heavenly God Realm—a clear sign of his exceptional prowess.

His masterful deployment of the formation to repel countless disciples and elders had become legendary, and his ruthless, decisive killing intent won widespread respect, leading many to sing his praises.

Yang Qianyu headed this admiring faction, joined by other disciples of similar power, all treating Ye Chen warmly and addressing him as Senior Brother.

Plenty had climbed Netherworld Peak during this period to pay homage to Ye Chen, building solid bonds.

Now, as Liu Yunmiao trained on Netherworld Peak, Ye Chen seldom ventured out, but he made an exception, strolling through the sect to meet his allies.

Ye Chen chatted amiably with numerous folks, yet the moment the Sacred Origin Heart arose in talk, they clammed up instantly, treating it like an absolute taboo in the Six Paths Sect—no one dared utter a word.
