Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2056 - 2152: Fuming with Rage (4th Update)

A cold sweat of sheer terror broke out on Su Chen's brow, a profound sense of relief washing over him.

He distinctly recalled losing consciousness immediately after consuming the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill.

The state of being unconscious was the most terrifying prospect, akin to staring death in the face!

He had genuinely believed his life had ended.

"Young Su, you nearly, *nearly* perished. It was Xi and the Thunder Spirit who intervened to save you," Jiuyou's voice echoed.

"Thank you," Su Chen replied, a flicker of emotion crossing his face as he grasped the situation.

"Big Brother, feel your own body," Xi urged, a palpable excitement in her tone.

Su Chen instinctively focused inward.

Then.

His eyes snapped open wide.

"What in the..!" Su Chen exclaimed, his jaw agape in utter astonishment.

Was the effect of the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill truly this incredible?

He... he had ascended to the Human Lord Eighth Level Realm!

Just moments before, he was merely at the First Level of the Human Lord Realm!

And now, the Eighth Level?

Furthermore, after employing every available method, his raw physical strength had surged to one thousand six hundred Chaotic Forces.

Previously, it stood at a mere one thousand Chaotic Forces.

An increase of an astonishing two-thirds in a single stroke?

Moreover, his body's defensive capabilities seemed to have more than doubled; he could now endure the tempestuous conditions in the Matriarch River's Rear Section without sustaining any damage. With this enhanced defense, he could apparently withstand any attack below the Divine Lord Realm – truly a terrifying prospect!

Adding to this, Su Chen felt that the Zhan Cang, his Zhan Cang Sword, had become... had become... several times more potent!!!

"What happened to Zhan Cang?" Su Chen inquired, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Big Brother, the medicinal potency of the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is utterly formidable. Even for someone as mighty as yourself, you only managed to absorb seventy percent; sadly, the remaining thirty percent went to waste. Thus, following Sister Jiuyou's counsel, it was channeled into the Zhan Cang Sword. The Zhan Cang Sword certainly did not disappoint, experiencing a significant enhancement thanks to that thirty percent of medicinal power," Xi explained with a smile.

"Hahahaha... fantastic! Truly fantastic!!!" Su Chen erupted in hearty laughter, feeling an overwhelming sense of elation.

Wasn't this an unprecedented windfall?

The Di Family was indeed a treasure trove beyond compare!

With this expedition to the Di Family, his overall strength had multiplied by a hundredfold!

All the treasures he had acquired from previous ventures into ruins and secret realms paled in comparison to the gains from this single trip to the Di Family.

The Di Family, truly benevolent individuals!

"Young Su, come now, compose yourself and swiftly gather the Crystals of the Mother River; millions await in the Matriarch River's Rear Section," Jiuyou prompted.

Su Chen's eyes gleamed as he licked his lips.

The Crystal of the Mother River was an undeniably valuable commodity.

Moreover, the efficacy and purity of these Rear Section Crystals of the Mother River were in a completely different league compared to those from the middle reaches.

In the very next moment.

Su Chen rose to his feet.

Moving with swift purpose, he navigated the expanse of the Matriarch River's Rear Section.

Collecting the Crystals of the Mother River with great speed.

Every thousand pieces gathered, he would pause to absorb their essence.

Continuing his rapid ascent in power.

Previously, Su Chen could never have envisioned that enhancing one's strength could be so exceedingly, profoundly simple.

To echo the sentiment, the Di Family, exceptionally kind people!

Several days later.

"I've finally absorbed all the Crystals of the Mother River from the rear section," Su Chen declared, a wide grin stretching across his face.

A total of seven million four hundred twenty-three thousand-plus pieces had been absorbed from the Mother River's rear section.

And what was the fruit of his labor?

His Realm had skyrocketed straight to Divine Lord!!!

Half-Step Divine Lord, to be precise.

This was Su Chen's doing!

No one else could achieve this.

Su Chen possessed the extraordinary capability to contend against those of significantly higher cultivation.

At the Tao Realm, Su Chen could instantly vanquish opponents at the Human Lord Fifth to Sixth Layers; now, Su Chen had reached the Half-Step Divine Lord Level.

One could only ponder the sheer audacity of this progression.

"With all methods engaged, my pure strength has reached two thousand five hundred Chaotic Forces."

"My body's defense power should now be capable of shrugging off the full-force assault from a peak Divine Lord First Level expert, and even ignore the full power strike from a Spirit Imperial Weapon."

"My Divine Mansion has reached the apex of the Chaos Divine Mansion Fourth Turn, merely a step away from the Fifth Turn."

...

In any case, the accumulated gains were beyond imagination.

"Anyone below the Divine Lord Fifth Level will be instantly annihilated," Su Chen mused aloud, his confidence unwavering.

"Even when facing those at the Divine Lord Sixth or Seventh Level, I possess the capacity to put up a fight."

"However," Su Chen suddenly expressed a trace of regret, "it is a pity that, at present, I can only overcome opponents by, at most, eight to nine minor realms above my own."

Previously, when he was in the Tao Realm, he could transcend dozens of cultivation levels, instantly dispatching those at the Human Lord Fifth to Sixth Level. That profound ability to defeat opponents of significantly higher realms was truly awe-inspiring.

He is currently at Half-Step Divine Lord, yet can only contend against those at the Divine Lord Sixth to Seventh Level at best. His ability to fight opponents beyond his own realm has significantly diminished!

"Youngster Su, you truly are..." Jiuyou nearly exploded with anger. "You don't understand anything at all. I've told you, at the Divine Lord Level, that is the mainstream realm within the Grand Cosmos World. In this state, overcoming seven to eight minor realms holds far more significance than overpowering thirty or even fifty minor realms previously, do you comprehend?"

Without granting Su Chen an opportunity to interject, Jiuyou continued, "Do you realize the magnitude of the power disparity between minor realm differences at the Divine Lord Level? It's a gap of tens to hundreds of times. Let me put it this way: in the Grand Cosmos World, individuals capable of fighting beyond their realm are as rare as phoenix feathers. Normally, if a martial cultivator in the Grand Cosmos World can defeat someone in the Mid Stage while being in the Early Stage of Divine Lord First Level, they are considered a super genius!!! Do you grasp that?!"

Still sensing that her explanation wasn't sufficiently clear, Jiuyou couldn't refrain from unleashing more colorful language. "Youngster Su, in the Grand Cosmos World, a minor realm difference signifies the chasm between master and servant, the gulf between genius and utter trash. You --- can surpass eight to nine minor realms and still find it insufficient; I am truly..."

Jiuyou finally let loose a barrage of profanities.

Her exasperated demeanor suggested she was on the verge of losing all control.

"Ahem, ahem, is that so? Then it's not too bad. I truly didn't grasp the nuances of the Grand Cosmos World," Su Chen managed a wry smile. After Jiuyou's tirade, he felt a sense of relief; it seems his capability to fight opponents far beyond his own level is still commendably potent, wouldn't you agree?

"Alright, enough boasting. Hurry and search for the Heart of the Mother River. Fei Jin is anxiously awaiting your return. Her wedding with the Young Master of the Hu Family is only a few days away now," Jiuyou huffed.

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Chen chuckled, offering smooth words. Jiuyou's little temper flared up again, a truly princely reaction, indeed.

Imperial Realm.

Back mountain.

Jinxian Pavilion.

"Iceflame, tell me, even if Su Chen manages to save me this time, what then?" Ah, women! They are perpetually susceptible to overthinking. Even Di Deijin could not escape this tendency, particularly while confined within the Jinxian Pavilion!

Fortunately, over half a month prior, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird had rejoined her side.

"Fei Jin, you need to put your faith in your man. Su Chen, that boy, is quite trustworthy."

"If the Soul-Locking Pill cannot be undone, I..." A shadow of bitterness crossed Di Deijin's beautiful face. "How can I possibly accompany Su Chen to the Grand Cosmos World? How can I journey with him to breach the Flame Plane and uncover his origins?"
