Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2049 - 2145: Tingling Scalp (First Update)

The instant Su Chen’s Three Great Cosmic Treasures were driven into the Zhan Cang Sword Array, Di Jie’s entire being violently trembled, as if struck by divine thunder. His voice became hoarse, his breath ragged, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming fear. Suddenly, he let out a roar, "Retreat!!!"

Although his heart burned with the desire to tear Su Chen to pieces and grind his bones to dust, his potent hatred for Su Chen had, in fact, caused his eyes to turn a purple-red hue, making him lose his senses.

However, as Su Chen’s Three Great Cosmic Treasures merged with the Zhan Cang Sword Array, the immense aura of death, annihilation, and invincible might that emanated from it jolted him back to a semblance of calmness.

Even though he found it hard to believe what was unfolding before him, the stark reality was undeniable. The Zhan Cang Sword Array, now augmented by the Three Great Cosmic Treasures, felt utterly insurmountable, a source of despair that revealed an inherent, unbridgeable disparity.

His Emperor’s Heavenly Punishment was no match, Di Kuang’s Nine Deaths Withered Wood Palm was equally outmatched, and neither were Di You and Di Ge’s Emperor Divine Sword. Even if all four were unleashed simultaneously, a four-pronged attack against one, they still couldn't stand against it.

This was the swift, chilling judgment Di Jie reached in an instant.

This stark realization purged all resentment, hatred, fury, and killing intent from Di Jie’s mind in a single sweep, leaving only one primal thought: survival.

Indeed, it was true.

Now, the matter was no longer about revenge or his personal animosity towards Su Chen; it was purely about whether he could cling to life!

He stared intently at the Zhan Cang Sword Array, a bone-chilling coldness penetrating his very marrow. He wondered if this sword array, wielded by Su Chen, could possibly strike down someone at the Human Lord Ninth Peak Realm!

At this very moment, Di Jie sensed the grave danger, the terror, and the insurmountability of the Zhan Cang Sword Array amplified by the Cosmic Treasures. Di Kuang and the others were not oblivious to this either, though they were a fraction slower to react than Di Jie.

In the span of a mere moment.

The truly hair-raising scene that transpired was...

Hiss.

Only a faint, subtle sound wave, almost imperceptible, was heard. Then, the Zhan Cang Sword Array surged with black light, unleashing an Extremely Heavenly Slash that swept across the Emperor’s Heavenly Punishment, the Nine Deaths Withered Wood Palm, and the Emperor Divine Sword...

These ultimate techniques, the most renowned within the Di Family, proved to be as flimsy as the softest, weakest paper in the world, utterly incapable of offering any resistance. They disintegrated instantly, their light dissipating, overshadowed by a five-colored darkness and reduced to mere powder of death and killing aura, vanishing into nothingness.

The Di Family’s most formidable hidden trump cards, wielded by their most powerful ancient monstrous figures, couldn't even withstand a single breath against the Zhan Cang Sword Array.

This spectacle was truly chilling to the core.

Even though Di Jie had foreseen this outcome a moment prior, witnessing it firsthand sent a shiver down his spine, aging him by what felt like ten million years.

However, Di Jie was, after all, Di Jie. As the patriarch of the Di Family, he still possessed a means of preserving his life.

"Heavens-Earth Shuttle!!!"

He acted purely on instinct, directly activating the Heavens-Earth Shuttle.

And then he vanished.

He disappeared as if he were a mere hallucination, not only from Su Chen’s sight but also from the entire forefront of the Mother River.

The Heavens-Earth Shuttle is a spatial treasure.

It was acquired by the Di Family’s first ancestor in the martial arts sacred land of the Grand Cosmos World. The reason that ancestor was able to single-handedly establish the Di Family was, in large part, due to obtaining the Heavens-Earth Shuttle.

The Heavens-Earth Shuttle is not an imperial weapon; it is merely a treasure. Yet, this treasure is exceptionally unique, one in billions – a spatial treasure.

The rarity of spatial treasures is surpassed only by that of temporal treasures.

To refine a spatial treasure, a prerequisite is that the refiner must have comprehended extremely profound spatial laws.

Across the entirety of the Grand Cosmos World, there are currently no more than two ancient monstrous figures who have refined spatial laws to an exceptionally high degree.

Under these circumstances, the Heavens-Earth Shuttle is incredibly rare and has always been a treasured heirloom passed down through the heads of the Di Family.

The Heavens-Earth Shuttle also serves as the symbol of authority and identity for the Di Family head.

Whenever the position of family head is passed on, the Heavens-Earth Shuttle is transferred to the succeeding head.

Much like an imperial jade seal, it carries immense symbolic significance.

The Heavens-Earth Shuttle successfully saved Di Jie’s life.

However, in the very instant Di Jie vanished by means of the Heavens-Earth Shuttle, the three Great Elders – Di Kuang, Di You, and Di Ge – had already been reduced to spirits beneath the Zhan Cang Sword Array, their forms fragmented.

Thus, aside from Di Deijin, the family’s ancestress, and Di Jie himself, all other martial cultivators at or above the Human Lord Realm within the Di Family were deceased!!! Utterly annihilated! Not a single soul remained!

All thirty-six Human Lord Realm experts dispatched by Di Jie into the front segment of the Mother River were annihilated.

Su Chen's expression turned grim. "Damn it!" His intention was to also eliminate Di Jie.

However, things did not go as planned.

It was entirely unexpected.

"Iceflame, how did he manage that?" Su Chen queried the Iceflame Vermilion Bird.

"A spatial treasure," the Iceflame Vermilion Bird responded. "Still, your power is insufficient. Had you been strong enough, the Zhan Cang Sword Array could have severed space itself, making even spatial treasures useless."

"Is that so? It appears my strength is still lacking," Su Chen mused. "Iceflame, our next destination is the middle section of the Mother River, correct?"

"Indeed!"

"I'm truly looking forward to it!" Su Chen's grin widened.

The Iceflame Vermilion Bird observed him, rendered speechless. Journeying to the Mother River's middle section promised a significant boost in strength but also entailed immense suffering. The brutal storms there would temper the physical body, causing agony far beyond death itself. Hadn't Su Chen experienced this agony in the initial segment? Why did he still anticipate it with such eagerness? Could such excruciating pain become addictive?

—————

"Ancestor! Ancestor! Ancestor!" Di Jie wailed, prostrating himself repeatedly before a cave deep within the Di Family's rear mountains. "All of the Di Family's cultivators at the Human Lord Realm have been practically annihilated by that brat! Ancestor!"

Di Jie had, against all odds, survived.

Yet, upon emerging from the Mother River, he wished for death.

Actual death would have been a release, but since he lived, he now had to confront the calamitous state of the Di Family!

The entirety of the Human Lord Realm cultivators within the Di Family was nearly wiped out, rendered completely ineffective. His only recourse was to seek out the ancestor.

"Enter." After Di Jie had completed a dozen bows, a voice, ancient and imbued with the aura of death, echoed from within.

Di Jie hastily rose and stepped into the cave.
