The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3791: The Gaze of the Dark (Sixth Update)

Utterly preposterous, wouldn't you agree?

Elder Jun's demeanor suddenly became composed, and he firmly placed his hand upon Ye Chen's head without the slightest hint of opposition.

In an instant, the dark vortex, meticulously crafted by the Soul-devouring Sky, enveloped Elder Jun's head entirely!

Lin Rutian, who had experienced a fleeting surge of optimism upon witnessing Ye Chen's predicament, now found himself utterly dejected once more...

He had observed Ye Chen employ this very soul technique against Elder Jun numerous times previously, yet it had yielded no effect whatsoever. What possible efficacy could it possess now?

Even with Elder Jun's strength diminished due to the loss of Freedom Heaven's support, this soul technique was undeniably insufficient to bring about his immediate demise, let alone inflict any significant harm!

What conceivable outcome could Ye Chen possibly achieve by deploying it at this critical juncture?

However!

Fairy Xuan, whose countenance had been etched with profound sorrow, displayed an expression of utter disbelief the very instant Ye Chen initiated the Soul-devouring Sky!

She seemed to whisper in a tone of incredulity, "Soul-cutting Sword?"

At this precise moment, emerging from the depths of the black vortex, a Divine Thought Sword, ethereal yet seemingly tangible, descended with swiftness, cleaving ferociously into Elder Jun's mind!

The instant the Divine Thought Sword breached the sanctity of his mind, Elder Jun's expression, previously one of disdain, froze in place!

In the subsequent moment, a piercing shriek tore from Elder Jun's throat!

With a resounding detonation, torrents of dark blood erupted from Elder Jun's seven orifices, spraying forth like a geyser!

Elder Jun, who had been so intensely focused on devouring Ye Chen's vitality, could now scarcely spare a thought for consumption!

Clutching his head, he stumbled backward unsteadily!

Ye Chen rose from the ground, casting an indifferent gaze upon Elder Jun, and calmly declared, "I informed you earlier that you would come to regret this."

Now, upon hearing these words, Elder Jun lacked the capacity to even formulate a retort, let alone utter a single syllable!

All that escaped his lips were cries of agony, an unending cascade of screams!

His mind had utterly disintegrated the moment the Divine Thought Sword made contact, and his very soul seemed to be subjected to the piercing agony of countless sword strikes, enduring unimaginable torment!

In this very instant, Elder Jun found himself immersed in a personal inferno, a hell forged from razor-sharp blades!

Each passing second stretched into an eternity, an immeasurable expanse of time!

He was ensnared in this perpetual torment!

Merely a single breath later, Elder Jun's recoiling steps abruptly ceased. His limbs twitched uncontrollably, and then, with a violent explosion, his grotesque, demonized head detonated!

His headless corpse slowly succumbed to the ground.

This being of immense power met his end at Ye Chen's hands in such a manner!

Concurrently, the Life-bound Blood Jade clutched in Lin Rutian's hand finally depleted its spiritual essence, fracturing with an audible crack.

Yet, Lin Rutian paid it no heed whatsoever, his gaze fixed solely on Ye Chen, his expression one of profound shock!

What precisely had just transpired?

This was beyond comprehension, was it not?

Even Lin Rutian, who had already been astonished by Ye Chen numerous times, found this turn of events exceedingly difficult to process!

Ye Chen had slain Elder Jun?

Furthermore, he had accomplished this through a divine soul attack?

Observing Elder Jun's demise, it was evident that he possessed no means of resisting the onslaught of the Divine Soul Sword!

A divine soul attack capable of instantly annihilating a being of Elder Jun's caliber – just how formidable must its power be?

The mere contemplation of such a question sent tremors through Lin Rutian!

Ye Chen's gaze lingered on Elder Jun's headless remains, his eyes aglow with introspection. The instrument he had employed to vanquish Elder Jun was the Soul-cutting Sword, a gift bestowed upon him by the enigmatic entity residing in the Abandoned World Extremity!

With his cultivated strength vastly increased, Ye Chen gained a clearer understanding of the true potency inherent in this Soul-cutting Sword!

It possessed the capability to instantly obliterate the divine souls of nearly all beings within the Qiankun Realm, did it not?

The reason that mysterious individual had asserted the Soul-cutting Sword could annihilate any existence that had not yet achieved the Qiankun Realm likely stemmed from the influence of Freedom Heaven!

Within the confines of Freedom Heaven, a martial artist at the Qiankun Realm was exceedingly difficult to dispatch; even the Soul-cutting Sword might prove insufficient to alter that outcome. This very rationale explained why, even at the climactic moment, Ye Chen had not relinquished the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope, and had insisted on Fairy Xuan's breakthrough past Freedom Heaven!

Ye Chen slowly approached Elder Jun's corpse, extending his hand to retrieve the storage bag. Naturally, an existence within the Qiankun Realm would possess a wealth of valuable items!

Subsequently, Ye Chen's attention was drawn to an eerie rune emblazoned upon Elder Jun's chest. His eyes flickered as he carefully extracted these eye-shaped runes from his chest.

At this juncture, Fairy Xuan's figure flickered, and she materialized before Ye Chen. A complex expression clouded her delicate features as she inquired, "Ye Chen, was that the Soul-cutting Sword you wielded just moments ago?"

Ye Chen was momentarily taken aback. Did Fairy Xuan possess knowledge of the Soul-cutting Sword?

He nodded his affirmation. "Indeed. Does Fairy Xuan recognize this sword?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Xuan's brow furrowed slightly. "I... I am uncertain myself. However, an instinct tells me that it is indeed the Soul-cutting Sword, and its aura feels profoundly familiar to me, yet..."

A flicker in Ye Chen’s eyes occurred upon hearing this; could the individual from the Abandoned World Extremity have some connection to Fairy Xuan?

He inquired, "But what is it?"

A puzzled expression graced Fairy Xuan’s delicate features. She shook her head, stating, "However, within my mind, a memory seems sealed; I cannot recall anything about this Soul-cutting Sword..."

Ye Chen’s countenance changed. He shared his experiences from the Abandoned World Extremity with Fairy Xuan. Still, Fairy Xuan let out a sigh, finding a sense of familiarity in everything Ye Chen mentioned, yet ultimately, she couldn't recall anything specific.

The two could only set aside their burgeoning doubts for the time being.

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Rutian, whose dazed expression persisted, and offered a slight smile. He then said, "Young Master Lin, it appears your journey will be postponed by a day. We shall depart once my injuries have recuperated."

At present, Ye Chen held a favorable opinion of Lin Rutian. After all, even when Ye Chen appeared utterly devoid of hope, Lin Rutian had tirelessly channeled the Life-bound Blood Jade, actively suppressing Elder Jun’s might instead of fleeing!

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rutian finally emerged from his stupor, regarding Ye Chen with a wry smile. He remarked, "No worries, we are presently within the Shifting Shadow Array. My brother's associates will be unable to pinpoint our location for some time."

Ye Chen endured numerous assaults from Elder Jun, even having a portion of his vital essence consumed. Yet, he required only a single day for recovery?

Lin Rutian, however, had become thoroughly accustomed to such phenomena. Even if Ye Chen were to directly shatter the bottleneck and ascend to the Qiankun Realm, he would not find it the least bit astonishing...

Subsequently, Ye Chen and Lin Rutian sought out a concealed location for a temporary respite. Yet, neither Ye Chen nor Fairy Xuan perceived that from the distant darkness, a pair of intensely crimson eyes was observing them. The entity possessing these eyes remained as indistinct as primordial Chaos!

This enigmatic presence was none other than the Myriad Demon Ancestor, the Heavenly Demon, seemingly confined within the very origins of existence!

At this precise moment, the Heavenly Demon’s luminous gaze seemed to have discovered something of interest, tinged with a hint of amusement. It muttered inwardly, "This youngling from the Reincarnation Clan serves as quite a useful diversion..."
