The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2362: Chapter 2336: Ready to Launch (One More)

Besides shielding from the perception of the Heavenly Dao Palace, are there any other benefits?

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, his voice laced with excitement.

Pretending to be defeated by Wu Ming was all for the underground fortune.

However, using the Soaring Wind Divine Vein on the top contender on the Profound Ascension Rankings was indeed a bit wasteful.

It would be best not to use it if possible.

The Ancient Medical God’s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked around and said, ”Of course, the energy here has many benefits for breakthroughs!”

”You should know this place is filled with lightning. The Tribulation Lightning you need to endure when your reincarnation bloodline steps into the Sealed Gate will undoubtedly be powerful, and both your Immortal Divine Body and Demon Body have a chance to upgrade. If you absorb this lightning, the benefits will be immense!”

”All these actually aren’t important. The more important benefit is another one that I won’t mention now; you will naturally know when the time comes.”

Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless, not understanding what the Ancient Medical God was hinting at.

He could only respond with a bitter smile, ”Elder Cang, could you please say everything at once? I almost died this time, these severe injuries, even with my recovery abilities, will take some time...”

This might have been his closest brush with death since he started practicing martial arts.

But the Ancient Medical God just gave a cold laugh and said, ”Kid, be content! Fortunately, this time you had your avatar formed from a sub-spiritual beast and, coincidentally, there was that Thunder Curtain beneath Feilei Island, and you possess the Fog Transformation Divine Ability to barely cross the divine lightning!

Otherwise, even you would be dead beyond dead! Now, it’s just a matter of spending more time, and besides, you can absorb the power around you as well as your acquisitions from the auction, all the while healing your injuries—it’s really not much time at all!”

In everyone’s eyes, Ye Chen was indeed dead.

Even the Disaster Slaying Expert sensed Ye Chen’s death.

Wu Ming goes without saying.

So how did Ye Chen survive?

It turned out that after being suppressed into the abyss by Wu Ming’s Yunshen Sword, Ye Chen gradually escaped the range of the Forbidden Spirit Domain. However, with his condition at the time, even if he used his Fog Transformation Divine Ability, he would still fully sustain the power of the Yunshen Sword due to its Forbidden Spirit power and would have been annihilated by a single strike.

At this critical moment between life and death, Ye Chen desperately acted with cleverness, releasing an avatar before him!

The avatar, formed from a sub-spiritual beast, possessed a portion of Ye Chen’s strength, and its physical body was terrifyingly strong. Also, Ye Chen entrusted all his defenses to it.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen himself used the Moon Dust Gauze to conceal his figure and hurriedly fled towards the Thunder Curtain below!

Although Ye Chen’s avatar—fully activating the Earth Dragon Armor—was still obliterated into blood mist by Wu Ming’s Yunshen Sword, and the protection was utterly destroyed.

But! It also exhausted most of the destructive power of the Yunshen Sword!

After Ye Chen narrowly preserved his life, he crossed the Spatial Divine Thunder Net using his Fog Transformation Divine Ability and arrived in this mysterious stone cave.

However, though all defenses were completely destroyed, the sub-spiritual beast did not completely die. After the physical body was blasted, the core of the sub-spiritual beast somehow escaped and returned to Ye Chen’s body.

But even so, the sub-spiritual beast was gravely injured and near death, not knowing how long it would take to recover using blood essence—its avatar technique could not be used again for a short period.

Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand, and several intense beams of spiritual light appeared in the stone cave: Gengjin Essence, Spirit Nourishing Pearl, Divine Ape Spiritual Blood, supreme-grade pills, divine blood essence, Heavenly Demon Beast Bone, and Fiendish Intent Crystal—these Supreme Treasures all appeared before his eyes!

Looking at the items before him, Ye Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with fiery desire and bone-chilling murderous intent!

North Sea Xu Family? Wu Ming at the top of the Profound Ascension Rankings?

Hehe, I’m truly looking forward to seeing what expressions will adorn your faces when we meet again.

Quickly, Ye Chen gathered his focus, and suddenly behind him emerged a lifelike and majestically powerful white tiger shadowy figure. He pointed at the Gengjin Essence in front of him. The unremarkable chunk of metal seemed to sense something and erupted in a brilliant burst of golden light as if trying to resist Ye Chen’s power.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, and the shadowy figure behind him let out a roar. The golden light emitted by the Gengjin Essence immediately started to fluctuate violently.

Soon, the golden light dimmed, and its body was absorbed into Ye Chen. He closed his eyes and, under the guidance of Six Paths Sword God, began refining it throughout his body. As he refined it, the shadowy figure behind Ye Chen became more substantial.

...

A day later, at Mystic Moon Sect.

”Impossible!” Zining’s beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted hysterically at Ge Qing with a hint of crying in her voice.

”Ye Chen can’t just be dead! It’s impossible! I don’t believe it!”

Ye Chen is dead?

How could that be? Ye Chen’s strength was already comparable to that of the Great Void, even surpassing the vitality of Great Void experts. How could he be dead?

Zining couldn’t believe it, but if Ye Chen wasn’t dead, where was he now?

Her heart felt as though it had been pierced by a sharp blade, hurting immensely. She prayed over and over again in her heart, begging, just hoping that Ye Chen would appear before her, telling her he was alright and that it was all just a misunderstanding...

But did Ye Chen appear?

No...

The figure of this constantly shining young genius, who had never left her mind, seemed to have truly disappeared from this world.

Just like Zining’s once junior brother...

Zining clenched her teeth tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms, blood flowing freely, yet she seemed to feel nothing.

She desperately suppressed her nearly crumbling emotions, telling herself that the heavens couldn’t be so cruel, not to repeatedly take away the people she loved from her...

Yes, Zining had now completely understood her feelings for Ye Chen; she understood them thoroughly...

On Ge Qing’s face, too, a profound sorrow was evident. Even his Dao heart, cultivated over thousands of years, felt a slight disturbance. He sighed and said,

”I don’t want to believe it either, but... on that day, many people witnessed it, including Chen Zhifan, and Ye Chen... has not appeared yet...”

As he spoke, this usually indifferent old man’s eyes began to well up with tears...

That was Ye Chen!

The most outstanding monstrous talent of Divine Fire Academy in tens of thousands of years! The pride of Divine Fire Academy, even the future of the entire Lingwu Continent!

More importantly, Ye Chen had a character that Ge Qing particularly admired!

In Ge Qing’s heart, he had almost come to regard Ye Chen as his own grandson!

Did Ge Qing want to believe that Ye Chen was dead? Naturally, he did not, but sometimes reality is completely contrary to what one wishes...

Even if he didn’t want to accept it, he had to face that this peerless genius, who was bound to dominate the Lingwu Continent in the near future, had fallen...

Ge Qing took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down before continuing, ”But, beyond that, I’ve received another piece of news!”

”Among the ten hidden families of Lingwu, the North Sea Xu family and Nangang Xiang family have joined many top-tier forces. Somehow, they have located people close to Ye Chen. They have slandered Ye Chen as a sin-ridden demon, claiming to be acting in the name of justice to eradicate him and his ’demon seed’!

They are even insanely planning to come to Divine Fire Academy to take away women related to Ye Chen!”

”They believe that these women might carry a part of Ye Chen’s bloodline...”
