The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3788: Ups and Downs
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Upon being ensnared by the chain, Elder Jun's demeanor shifted drastically; he found himself utterly immobilized.
In the very next moment, Elder Jun fixed his gaze upon Ye Chen, a murderous glint in his eyes, and declared in a resonant voice, "Boy, this is my Freedom Heaven, a domain where I reign as a Divine King. All laws bend to my will, and you dare attempt to restrain me?"
A torrent of nomological power surged forth instantaneously, enveloping Elder Jun, intending to shatter the very chain that bound him!
A hint of disdain crept onto Elder Jun's countenance. "Perhaps you are indeed an extraordinary anomaly, rendering my nomological power ineffective against you. But if it cannot affect you directly, can it not obliterate your divine ability?"
However, in the subsequent moment, Elder Jun's expression froze in disbelief!
What was initially extreme stiffness in his muscles and a peculiar cast to his expression had now transformed him into something akin to a living statue!
The blood-red chain remained resolutely unyielding against the onslaught of his nomological power?
Not the slightest crack appeared, nor did it budge?
What in the world was happening!?
Elder Jun was even beginning to question whether he was the true master of this Freedom Heaven, or if the youth standing before him held that title!
Ye Chen offered a playful smile, recalling the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, a divine ability bestowed by his Heavenly Demon bloodline. Just how fearsome was the existence of the Heavenly Demon?
The memories of its origins remained vividly etched in Ye Chen's mind!
The bloodline divine ability of that existence beyond comprehension could only be wielded by Ye Chen in a minuscule fraction with his current might. How could the nomological power wielded by a suppressed martial artist possibly overcome it?
Elder Jun unleashed a furious roar, struggling with all his might, yet no matter how desperately he thrashed, he could not escape the tenacious grip of the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope!
Meanwhile, Xuan Han Yu's second sword strike had already slammed into the desolate expanse, obliterating another vast swathe of the land!
Despite witnessing all this, Elder Jun paid it no heed; being bound by the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope was akin to being pulled into an alternate dimension, one that excluded all but him and Ye Chen!
It gave the illusion that they were still on the desolate land, but now, Elder Jun’s influence was confined solely to Ye Chen!
In essence, if Ye Chen did not perish and the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope did not shatter, Elder Jun could only direct his attacks at Ye Chen!
This Heavenly Demon Divine Rope truly was an outrageously potent divine ability!
Nonetheless, Ye Chen's face was also tinged with pallor; the sheer expenditure of energy required by this divine ability was immense, placing a considerable burden on him even with his current strength!
He harbored a fear that his ability to sustain it was limited!
Elder Jun's countenance grew grim as he forcibly reined in his frantic thoughts, his eyes fixed intently on Ye Chen!
At this juncture, he recognized that his primary objective was to eliminate the boy!
Elder Jun let out a cold smirk, remarking, "Your vitality has its limits, doesn’t it? Haha, I am eager to witness how long you can endure my assaults!"
In the subsequent instant, Elder Jun's figure blurred, reappearing directly before Ye Chen. A formidable Palm Intent erupted from his hand, manifesting as a terrifyingly colossal palm imprint that descended with crushing force upon Ye Chen!
Ye Chen's expression turned grave; with his current deployment of the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, he could only ensnare Elder Jun and himself within a pocket dimension, effectively preventing Yeon Jun from fully constraining Elder Jun’s movements!
This meant that to contain Elder Jun, he had to personally absorb all of Elder Jun’s attacks!
Should the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope falter, or should his vitality be depleted before Xuan Han Yu could breach Freedom Heaven, his ultimate fate would remain death!!!
Yet, at this precise moment, a fierce resolve flashed across Ye Chen's face as he bellowed, "Soul-devouring Sky!"
Instantly, a powerful wave of divine soul energy surged outwards, coalescing into a dark vortex that hurtled towards Elder Jun!
A flicker of intrigue crossed Elder Jun's blood-red eyes, but he dismissed it; the vortex impacted his divine soul, yet the only discernible effect was a slight tremor in his soul's defense, causing almost negligible damage!
Ye Chen's spiritual sense was potent, but it fell short of surpassing Elder Jun's. Moreover, Soul-devouring Sky differed from his other divine abilities.
Born from the Ancient Evil God, Soul-devouring Sky was indeed a remarkably potent divine soul ability. However, it was suppressed within this Freedom Heaven, naturally leading to a significant reduction in its power.
Nevertheless, Ye Chen found himself with no superior alternative at this moment; when confronting Elder Jun while simultaneously maintaining the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, his only recourse was to deploy the nearly instantaneous Soul-devouring Sky!
In the ensuing moment, Ye Chen's body was utterly consumed by the overwhelming palm strike!
A cascade of blood rain burst forth from Ye Chen's form, painting the entire desolate landscape in hues of crimson!
Ye Chen's form, like a tattered sack, plummeted into the chasm formed by the palm strike. Witnessing this, Fairy Xuan, who was wielding the Immaculate Killing Sword to shatter the Freedom Heaven, felt her beautiful eyes widen, a flicker of worry crossing her frost-kissed, delicate features. Her very being surged with the urge to rush to Ye Chen's aid against Elder Jun's onslaught!
But abruptly, a resounding shout boomed from within the Abyss, "Fairy Xuan, stay back!"
While in freefall, Ye Chen, with the aid of moonlight power mitigating some of the palm's destructive force, found his aura destabilized even with his Heavenly Demon Blood Essence after enduring three of Elder Jun's assaults. If this persisted, his demise seemed imminent!
Yet, at this critical juncture, Ye Chen's eyes burned with an unyielding resolve, devoid of any hint of faltering!
He understood that should Fairy Xuan intervene directly, he might buy himself a little more time, but any prospect of victory would evaporate!
Therefore, at any cost, he resolved to face this trial alone!
Fairy Xuan grasped this truth implicitly!
Her initial concern for Ye Chen had spurred an impulsive desire to save him!
Heeding Ye Chen's urgent plea, Fairy Xuan clenched her teeth, regaining her focus. Her exquisite eyes, now blazing with intensified killing intent, began to gather that formidable sword qi once more!
She recognized that the sole path to assisting Ye Chen lay in dismantling the Freedom Heaven!
Suddenly, Ye Chen's descent halted; the crimson chain binding him tightened, yanking him upward.
Ye Chen had employed the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope to ensnare himself with Elder Jun, not merely as a restraint but to drag them both into a peculiar dimension. Though appearing to remain within Freedom Heaven, a subtle distinction existed; Elder Jun's attacks could only manifest their power within this pocket dimension!
Consequently, without vanquishing Ye Chen and severing the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, Elder Jun found himself incapable of preventing Fairy Xuan from annihilating Freedom Heaven.
This isolated dimension possessed finite bounds, and Ye Chen had reached its precipice!
This signified that following the activation of the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, Ye Chen's ability to delay or evade was nonexistent; the rope's binding extended not just to Elder Jun, but to himself as well!
A sinister grin stretched across Elder Jun's face, his eyes flashing with crimson light. Once gripped by panic upon ensnarement by the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, he now perceived it as the ultimate opportunity to eliminate the youth!
With immediate effect, Elder Jun tugged forcefully on the chain, instantly dragging Ye Chen's body before him!
Ye Chen, breathing heavily, met Elder Jun's gaze, his voice a low growl, "Soul-devouring Sky!"
Once more, a divine soul attack was unleashed!
