The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3508: Chapter 3508: Two Hours Between Life and Death!

At the top of the Fu Hun Tower, a man with black hair and blood-red eyes, surrounded by countless strange runes, was entangled in layers of blue chains. He was the Evil God’s Remnant Soul.

At this moment, the Evil God’s blood-red eyes, which exuded an unspeakable ancient aura, rippled slightly. He murmured, ”Unexpectedly, in this lifetime, I have a chance to meet someone with the Dao heart of the Martial Ancestor. Boy, if you can survive, one day you will reach a true division of realms, at the end of all Heavenly Dao...”

”It’s a realm even the people from the Yin Yang Divine Palace yearn for.”

What is the Martial Ancestor Dao Heart?

Humans, inherently, are an extremely frail race. In terms of innate talent, they are at the bottom among All Heavens and Myriad Clans. Don’t even mention the terrifying beasts, demons, or the creatures of the primitive times— even the most ordinary wild beasts could easily take their lives...

Yet the reason that humans have stood among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and, even more so, above all clans is due to the existence of martial arts!

Martial arts, is to ascend to the peak with a frail body, to vanquish all obstacles!

And the reason martial arts emerged is because, a long time ago, during the Heaven and Earth First Opening, there was someone who, step by step, ascended towards the sky. Despite the numerous perils and desperate situations before him, he still never wavered, never retreated!

For the sake of moving forward, for the sake of survival, to be able to look down upon everything under this heaven and earth, this weak human saw a ray of dawn amidst the deep darkness.

That represented a supreme power within the Chaotic Universe!

Thus, martial arts were born!

And this unnamed hero who brought infinite possibilities to humanity was called the Martial Ancestor by later generations!

Indeed, what Ye Chen is experiencing is exactly what the Martial Ancestor experienced back then. Only in this way can the indomitable supreme Dao heart be forged.

This force of will is humanity’s greatest talent!

Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer!

Another half an hour passed, yet Ye Chen advanced three layers within half a hour!

At this moment, the surface of the Fu Hun Tower was already scarred as if the next moment, the tower wall would completely collapse!

Wu You stared at the cracks covering the Fu Hun Tower, tense and terrified to the point of asphyxiation!

But Ye Chen did not even turn his head, his eyes only focused on the peak of the Fu Hun Tower!

Would turning back help?

All he could do was give his all. For Ye Chen, the chance to turn back was always a luxury!

Upon reaching the sixth level, he finally paused.

Ye Chen muttered to himself, ”Have the Mystic Flames finally reached their limit...”

The next moment, boundless demonic energy surged up from within Ye Chen’s body!

At the same time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique converged!

Ye Chen played his final card!

This place was different from the outside world; Xuan Jiyue and the Emperor Abyss Palace should not be able to detect it!

Two hours!

Two hours of life and death!

Ye Chen continued to move forward!

Now, his whole body was subjected to unimaginable pressure, his skin was already cracked, blood was flowing everywhere, muscles were torn, and his bones were covered with cracks!

But, even though he was in a sorry state, even though he was struggling, even though he was enduring unbearable pain, Ye Chen still moved forward. As long as he had a single breath remaining, even if he were to be shattered to pieces, he would not stop!

The Seventh Level, reached!

The Eighth Layer, reached!

The Ninth Level, reached!

Time, over half an hour had passed, and Ye Chen finally arrived at the ninth level!

At this moment, a ray of light pierced into the dark Fu Hun Tower, Wu You turned his head sharply towards the tower wall.

Only to see a small gap form on the tower wall...

It was shattered!

The Fu Hun Tower was finally shattered!

Although it would still take some time before it truly broke, allowing Wang Pan to enter, still!

That gap was a sign that the Fu Hun Tower could no longer hold on!

Wang Pan, seeing this, showed ecstatic joy, shouting, ”Hahahaha! Kid, you’re only now reaching the ninth level? Haha, did you think you were progressing fast before? The gravity of the ninth level is the sum of the previous eight levels! Your hope has already shattered, utterly shattered. In another half an hour, I’ll be able to enter the Fu Hun Tower!”

Ye Chen, however, seemed as though he hadn’t heard anything, moving forward, all he had to do was take steps!

No matter if Wang Pan would enter the Fu Hun Tower in half an hour or half a breath, what Ye Chen had to do wouldn’t change.

But, with Ye Chen’s step forward, suddenly, a booming erupted from within his body!

It exploded...

Ye Chen’s meridians burst!

A torrent of blood mist dispersed from his body, endless blood flowed down his body, falling onto the stairs!

Blood, flowing along the stairs, instantly stained the stairway leading straight to the top of the tower!

The Sinking God’s Light of this ninth level was too terrifying!

Even with Ye Chen’s constitution, strengthened by the Purple Cloud Stone and the Netherworld Water, and all his final cards played, he could hardly withstand it!

”Aaaaaah!!!!”

A roar like that of a wild beast burst from Ye Chen’s mouth, his body trembling, every muscle taut, forceful to the point that his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets!

One step!

Another step forward!

The energy within Ye Chen from the Purple Cloud Stone burned furiously as he took this step, surging into his limbs and bones!

Good!

Ye Chen felt the energy from the Purple Cloud Stone enhancing his body and gave a dark shout!

He could keep going!

That foot was no longer stepping forward step by step on the staircase, but rather inch by inch lifting!

With each inch lifted, Ye Chen’s constitution grew stronger!

And with each inch lifted, the blood flowed more abundantly!

Exhausted!

So, so exhausted!

A fatigue that seemed to dissolve his brain swept through Ye Chen’s entire body...

His eyelids were growing heavier, and his body felt as though it was filled with tons of cement, as if it weren’t his own...

Even Ye Chen, in his mind, had thoughts of wanting to rest...

Beside his ear, a whisper seemed to echo, urging his nearly frayed nerves, ”One breath... put your foot down and rest for one breath, okay? You’ve worked so hard for so long, you’ve climbed through the eight layers of the Fu Hun Tower, at the very least, one breath’s rest is what you deserve, right?

Just one breath, it’s not like giving up, what’s the big deal? Deciding life or death doesn’t hinge on just one breath, does it? Perhaps after a rest, your speed might even increase?”

Whispers, whispers, whispers!

The initial whisper turned into myriad voices, filling Ye Chen’s mind!

They were whispers dragging him into hell!

Once a person stops moving, starting again becomes several times more difficult!

This is the same for everything!

As if sensing Ye Chen’s wavering, Wang Pan attacked even more ferociously, and the whole Fu Hun Tower seemed to tremble furiously!

In that very moment!

A thunderous boom suppressed the trembling!

A foot stepped onto the ninth level of the Fu Hun Tower!

Ye Chen’s foot!

He was breathing heavily, with sweat and blood flowing mixed together, his whole being seemed weaker!

However, Ye Chen’s eyes were becoming brighter!

He endured! Those countless whispers evaporated!

Ye Chen, who stepped onto the ninth level, laughed madly, as he once again triumphed over himself!

The Evil God saw this and smiled slightly. The strongest aspect of the Martial Ancestor Dao Heart is not that those with such will never waver, but instead, that they can continuously conquer themselves!
