The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3752: Progenitor’s Descendant!

A chilling smirk played on his lips as he opted not to evade or defend, instead launching a fierce charge directly at Deng Shaofeng!

Caught completely off guard, Deng Shaofeng's face contorted in wicked delight, his eyes reddening, his countenance growing progressively more savage and untamed!

After all, he was a cultivator residing in the Heavenly Repairing Realm, while this insignificant brat before him?

Even if he were to give him the benefit of the doubt, he couldn't possibly be beyond the Holy Ancestor Realm!

And yet, he brazenly advanced to engage in combat?

Ha, Deng Shaofeng's life was over, irrevocably finished, his existence barely clinging on, no different from being dead already!

Even if he were to slay Ye Chen and incite the wrath of that old man, Chen Yuanbiao, leading to his own demise, dragging this brat to hell as a companion before he died was hardly a poor outcome!

In the following instant, the boundless spiritual Qi within Deng Shaofeng surged with alarming speed, and a glove, appearing as if chiseled from dark grey jade, materialized upon his right hand!

Concurrently, a potent gale erupted, swirling violently and forcing numerous martial artists to strain just to maintain their footing!

This sudden tempest originated from Deng Shaofeng's right palm, unleashing a fearsome Palm Intent!

This Palm Intent functioned like a voracious vortex, engulfing the entirety of the Cloud Clearing Hall within its grasp!

And directly at the heart of that vortex resided Ye Chen's position!

The assembled martial artists exchanged bewildered glances!

Deng Shaofeng's palm strike was truly a breathtaking display!

At this juncture, although his true power was masked by the Annihilation Spirit Stone, this single palm strike undoubtedly emanated power equivalent to the peak of the Three-layered Sky within the Heavenly Repairing Realm!

Ordinarily, unleashing one's full might in the presence of so many would constitute a severe transgression in the Dark Domain, and even when acting, cultivators would typically exercise restraint, holding back a portion of their strength!

Yet!

It was abundantly clear that Deng Shaofeng was now driven by desperation and had abandoned all caution!

Chen Yuanbiao, who had been poised to intervene, now observed with a peculiar glint in his eyes, resting his hands behind his back without making a move.

The multitude of martial artists turned their gazes toward Ye Chen, keenly anticipating the display of his prowess following the astonishing feats he had achieved during the Cloud Clearing assessment!

The scholarly young man, Lin, also fixated his attention on Ye Chen, a divine radiance flickering within his eyes.

Abruptly, a colossal palm strike descended!

Upon the elevated platform, a monumental palm imprint of a dark grey hue materialized, encircled by phantom dragons spewing forth Black Flame, instantly igniting the entire Cloud Clearing Hall with intense heat. As this palm imprint manifested, the very platform beneath it noticeably dipped under the sheer pressure!

And those spectral dragons, exhaling Black Flame, were utterly terrifying, as if capable of reducing the Dark Domain itself to cinders, searing vast chasms into the very fabric of the air!

Upon its appearance, the palm imprint quivered slightly before, with the blinding speed of lightning, it hurtled towards Ye Chen!

Yet Ye Chen remained utterly still, his Dragonslayer Sword held firmly, a cold luminescence beginning to emanate gradually from its sharpened edge!

Witnessing this, Deng Shaofeng erupted in manic laughter, declaring, "Fool! Do you truly not comprehend the vastness of heaven and the depth of earth? Vanish into ashes beneath my Black Flame Divine Flood Dragon Palm!"

A sinister grin unexpectedly bloomed on Ye Chen's countenance, abruptly silencing Deng Shaofeng's triumphant laughter, and a profound chill permeated his very being, rendering him incapable of further mirth!

Observing the palm imprint inexorably plummeting towards him, Ye Chen's eyes twinkled like distant stars. It appeared that the martial arts prevalent in the Dark Domain were indeed formidable. Deng Shaofeng’s palm strike possessed a power significantly greater than a standard assault from an individual within the Three-layered Sky of the Moon Soul Domain!

However...

Such an attack posed no discernible threat whatsoever to Ye Chen at this moment!

In the subsequent instant, Ye Chen’s wrist executed a sharp twist, and the sword light emanating from the Slaughter Sword intensified explosively!

Time seemed to halt!

Amidst the surging True Martial Intent, a fleeting arc of frigid light, possessing the capacity to cleave the very world in twain, flashed forth from the Black Flame Palm Imprint!

In that suspended moment, every martial artist present collectively held their breath!

Then, with a deafening sonic boom, the colossal palm print wreathed in black flame was utterly annihilated before the astonished eyes of all, akin to a magnificent black firework suddenly unfurling and detonating spectacularly!

In tandem with its destruction, Deng Shaofeng’s physical form also disintegrated, a searing sword gash bisecting his chest, unleashing a torrent of crimson blood that erupted skyward like a geyser, painting the scene with a spray of gore amidst the lingering black flames!

Deng Shaofeng emitted a soul-wrenching shriek, his entire aura instantly collapsing, leaving his body a lifeless, limp husk upon the high platform, resembling nothing more than a discarded puppet!

The martial artists in attendance displayed expressions of utter disbelief and shock!

Had the cultivator Deng Shaofeng, a master of the Heavenly Repairing Realm's Three-layered Sky, truly been vanquished by a single sword strike from Ye Chen?

And accomplished with such effortless grace!

They understood implicitly that if Ye Chen had truly intended to end Deng Shaofeng’s life, the latter would already be a corpse, or perhaps not even that much would remain!

Yet Ye Chen had withheld his killing intent, choosing instead to demonstrate mercy in the final, critical moment.

Originally, the intention was to gauge Ye Chen’s might from this confrontation, but now, they found themselves utterly unable to comprehend anything!

All they understood was that Ye Chen’s formidable strength soared far beyond the Heavenly Repairing Realm’s Three-layered Sky, possibly surpassing any division within the mid-stage realms!

The exact extent, however, remained a mystery to all...

The majority of martial artists present were Cloud Clearing Masters, adept in the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques. Many of them stared in utter disbelief!

For a brief moment, their minds were thrown into complete disarray...

It became evident that these were indeed Cloud Clearing Masters who had cultivated the Tongyuan Technique...

The Tongyuan Technique, though the most accessible to practice and demanding the least from one's potential, boasted the highest success rate for cloud clearing among all techniques. Faced with less than outstanding talent for the other two methods, most individuals opted for the Tongyuan Technique!

However, the inherent limitations of the Tongyuan Technique were now starkly laid bare!

While the other two techniques allowed for the detection of a martial artist’s true power, the Tongyuan Technique merely registered their level of cultivation…

Although cultivation level and actual power often align, particularly in the higher realms of the Void Body stage…

Yet, there will always be individuals like Ye Chen, who shatter conventional norms!

And the one most profoundly impacted by this revelation was Deng Shaofeng himself!

Not only had he lost the wager in the Cloud Clearing assessment, but his martial arts prowess had now been utterly crushed by his opponent!!!

One could only imagine the sheer devastation this inflicted upon Deng Shaofeng, a recognized genius of the Deng family!

He suddenly grasped the profound emptiness of absolute defeat…

Ye Chen remained impassive, aware that while he had successfully passed the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master examination, acquiring a valuable skill, he had also garnered significant attention and perceived value within the Dark Domain.

This could potentially serve as his bargaining chip!

Nevertheless, the possession of value simultaneously makes one a target for exploitation; thus, leveraging one’s value as a bargaining chip necessitates a commensurate level of strength!

Deng Shaofeng's mental collapse and his desperate attempt at self-destruction had inadvertently provided the perfect stage for Ye Chen to showcase his might!

Ye Chen shifted his gaze towards Chen Yuanbiao, only to find him wearing an expression of profound astonishment!

Clearly, Ye Chen's strength had far exceeded Chen Yuanbiao's previous assessments!

Initially, Chen Yuanbiao had held back, relying on his cultivation of the Heavenly Observation Technique, which had indicated that Ye Chen's power significantly surpassed Deng Shaofeng’s!

However, for reasons unknown, the disturbance in the Law Threads surrounding Ye Chen manifested in a manner vastly different from others, as if containing a deeper, more intricate twist, veiled in an ethereal mist, making it challenging even for Chen Yuanbiao to fully discern.

Consequently, he had intended to utilize this opportunity to ascertain the true extent of Ye Chen's capabilities!

Yet, he had never anticipated Ye Chen subduing Deng Shaofeng with such effortless grace in a single sword strike?

Even with his specialized Eye Power, he could glean little concrete information.

But of one thing, he was absolutely certain!

That Ye Chen's Martial Arts Talent was extraordinarily heaven-defying!

This observation inevitably led Chen Yuanbiao to recall the ancient epoch, when a singular, enigmatic powerhouse stood defiantly against the entirety of the Bright Territory!

This mysterious figure was also revered as the Dark Domain Ancestor!

While the Dark Domain may not have been founded by him, its very survival owed a debt to his existence!

To refer to him as a progenitor would be no exaggeration whatsoever.

Could this young man, bearing the name Ye Shitian, truly be a descendant of that ancient progenitor?

In that instant, the nature of Chen Yuanbiao's gaze directed at Ye Chen underwent a subtle yet significant alteration...
