The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3148: Chapter 3925: Karma Power (Sixth Update)

The entire Soul Slaughter Banner returned to serenity, with strands of vicious energy moving slowly and circuitously, showing no signs of further disintegration and explosion.

”Succeeded.”

Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Han Changsheng still had a hidden ace in the end.

This Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, once exploded, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be dead.

Luckily, he reacted quickly, and thankfully the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds were powerful enough to stop it.

However, having repeatedly used the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds, Ye Chen felt some stinging pain in his muscles and bones, and his energy was significantly depleted, making him drenched in sweat.

”You actually!”

”What a pity...”

Han Changsheng widened his eyes, filled with resentment and unwillingness, not expecting the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to be interrupted by Ye Chen at the last moment.

”Samsara Master, cough... cough cough...”

Han Changsheng began coughing violently, his face as pale as paper, murmuring:

”In your previous life, you were killed by Dishi Tian and Xuan Jiyue.”

”In this life, you also cannot escape the Samsara.”

”Eventually, you will fall, accept your fate...”

His voice gradually fell silent, completely losing his vitality, becoming a cold corpse.

Hiss!

At that moment, the Soul Slaughter Banner seemed to be summoned by something, transforming into a grey light and swiftly disappearing without a trace.

”Who is it!”

”Who summoned the Soul Slaughter Banner?”

Ye Chen was immediately surprised, trying to intercept it, but the banner was too quick for him to stop.

”Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, open!”

Ye Chen’s expression was grave as he quickly activated the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, attempting to see the karma behind it.

Strands of black demonic energy converged on his brow, forming a vertical eye.

The vertical eye opened, seemingly penetrating the heavens and earth.

But the fog of the world was tremendously thick.

Yet Ye Chen could not see through the karma behind the Soul Slaughter Banner.

He didn’t know who had summoned the Soul Slaughter Banner away.

”I estimate it’s Emperor Abyss Palace, but unfortunately, I can’t see the karma behind it.”

Ye Chen put away the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, shaking his head and pondering: ”However, Emperor Abyss Palace also can’t see through my karma.”

Now he and Emperor Abyss Palace seemed like two hunters lurking in the Dark Forest.

Neither had discovered the other’s presence.

If anyone dared to make a move, they would surely face a catastrophe.

...

In the mysterious void beyond, deep within the palace.

A simple thatched hut.

In front of the hut, on the green grass, sat a black-robed man.

A gentle breeze stirred.

The man’s black robe dispersed entirely.

Under the black robe was a white-haired person.

This white-haired person’s face was exquisite, handsome, and graceful, dressed in snow-white clothing, exuding an extraordinarily detached aura.

Their features were indistinctly male or female.

Their age was also indiscernible, seemingly youthful with white hair, yet their delicate visage and skin were like white jade.

Only a pair of eyes carried ancient vicissitudes, and an infinite simplicity.

These were the eyes unique to someone who had steeped in countless ages, incongruously placed on a youthful, handsome, and beautiful face.

This profoundly peculiar white-haired person, indistinguishable as male or female, young or old, sat alone before the thatched hut.

Before them lay a chessboard, playing chess alone, with mutual engagement, contentedly at ease.

Between heaven and earth, nothing seemed able to disturb their mind.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a sinister cloth banner emerged from the void, landing before them.

”Dishi Tian, release me!”

”Dishi Tian, you great demon, quickly release me!”

”Dishi Tian, one day, I shall kill you!”

From within the banner came countless roaring voices.

The cloth banner seemed to seal a formidable presence with a deep-seated enmity toward the white-haired person in front of it.

”Be calm, gentlemen. Once I finish this game of chess, I shall naturally release you all.”

The white-haired person smiled faintly, their voice also indeterminable as male or female.

Their jade-like hand flipped gently, and the cloth banner instantly vanished into the void, unseen.

...

The scene shifted back.

The Netherworld Sea Domain, Forbidden Soul Island.

Since Han Changsheng’s fate has ended, it’s time for him to search for Little Gold and the mysterious girl.

The island beneath his feet was one in the Netherworld Sea Domain.

Yet the island was vast beyond measure.

The Heavenly Secrets were obscured, clearly signifying that even with the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye utilizing the Hongmeng Ancient Technique, Ye Chen couldn’t see beyond.

If his guess was right, the mysterious girl and Little Gold should be deep inside the island.

However, for reasons unknown, now that it had quieted down, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable sense that something unusual was sealed within the island.

This feeling was unsettling.

As if something very dark was hidden beneath his feet.

Ye Chen shook his head, unable to understand, then headed in one direction!

Before searching for Little Gold, he needed to take something!

The Starfall Giant Sword possessing reincarnation power!

But at this very moment, an unexpected change arose, as the Slaughter Sword flew out on its own!

Hovering in front of him.

Then, a cold voice suddenly resounded.

It was the voice of Sword Soul Maiden, Xuan Han Yu!

”Kid, you can put aside the Starfall Giant Sword for now, your earlier feeling wasn’t wrong.”

”There indeed is something special here.”

”Even Han Changsheng probably didn’t realize.”

”Moreover, there’s an old acquaintance of yours here.”

Ye Chen’s eyes sharpened: ”What exactly is it? What old acquaintance? Explain clearly!”

Sword Soul Maiden Xuan Han Yu smiled slightly: ”If you’re not in a rush, I can tell you something.”

”Please go on.” Ye Chen of course didn’t mind the time.

There seemed no apparent threat here, but the lurking menace in the darkness made him uneasy!

”Do you recall Yu Sheng and the Leng family? The Leng family connected with Emperor Abyss Palace?”

”The Leng family is an extremely powerful Outer Realm force, with a legacy of incredible antiquity, having had contact with the Seven Divine Countries tens of thousands of years ago.

At that time, the Leng family’s demand was for the Seven Divine Countries to provide ten thousand Heavenly God Realm beings, to serve as servants for the gods!

Ten thousand Heavenly God Realm beings, even in the ancient, flourishing martial arts era, almost represented the entirety of the First Divine Country’s strongest!

This demand could jeopardize the foundation of the First Divine Country.

If truly executed, even disregarding future defense against the invasion of Outer Heaven Demons, the martial arts of the entire Divine Kingdom would rapidly decline,

Even though the Divine Kingdom’s ten great powers were aware of the Leng family’s might, after deliberation, they still refused the Leng family’s demand...

Yet, this choice nearly brought the Divine Kingdom to the brink of destruction!

Xuan Han Yu said calmly: ”Back then, an Outer Realm family descendant, due to accidentally injuring a Leng family noble, was punished by the Leng family, which demanded the total annihilation of the Divine Kingdom!”

”Though the Divine Kingdom wasn’t the Outer Realm’s strongest, achieving its destruction by one person was no easy feat, and more importantly, such an act would invoke strong Karma Power, significantly affecting the martial artist’s Qi Fortune.”

”Karma Power?” Ye Chen frowned slightly at the mention.
