The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3974: Chapter 3974: The Young Man Carrying a Severed Head (Fifth Update)

The Qi of Heaven and Earth within the mind poured forth, swiftly intertwining with the Destruction Dao Rhythm to form half a Dao Seal!

Meanwhile, the Hongmeng Ancient Technique was unleashed!

Ye Chen’s sword light instantly emitted a transcendent aura!

It seemed as though even the heavens, even the nomological power itself, would be extinguished within this sword strike!

In the blink of an eye, the sword descended upon the chain!

From the seemingly ordinary chain, countless runes surged out instantly, resisting the impact of the sword light and Dao Rhythm!

Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly; within this seal, an extremely powerful force emerged!

If he hadn’t possessed the Dao Seal before, let alone breaking the seal, his sword would be shattered by this force!

But now, it’s different!

The half Destruction Dao Rhythm turned into a transcendent power, protecting Ye Chen from the backlash of the sealing power!

Moments later, cracks appeared on the chain, soon followed by a light cracking sound!

The chain finally broke completely!

Fairy Xuan’s eyes lit up, and her ethereal form seemed to gain solidity!

Ye Chen put away the Slaughter Sword and fell heavily onto the bed, his chest heaving violently; the sword strike seemed to have drained all his strength!

With a slight smile, Fairy Xuan merged into the Slaughter Sword.

Ye Chen asked Fairy Xuan, ”Fairy Xuan, what level is my strength at now?”

Fairy Xuan paused before speaking, ”Barely capable of fighting against Qiankun Three-layered Heaven, but winning will be very hard!”

Ye Chen nodded, his gaze serious. As one progresses, each small division of realms brings a significant difference. Although he had obtained half a Dao Seal and helped Fairy Xuan release a seal, it still wasn’t enough to bridge the gap of a realm!

Now, he could barely engage in a battle against Qiankun Three-layered Heaven, with a chance to escape in the fight.

Yet, he was quite satisfied with such an improvement!

At this moment, Ye Chen spoke again, ”Fairy Xuan, now that I’ve gained Lin Jianqing’s trust and qualified to enter Chenyue Sea, there’s not so much urgency. How do we obtain the Hua Yue Treasure Box after meeting the Red Sea Palace Master?”

Fairy Xuan slowly spoke, ”The Hua Yue Treasure Box is a Supreme Treasure within Chenyue Sea!

However, it’s not the only one; every year, six Hua Yue Treasure Boxes appear within Chenyue Sea!”

Ye Chen’s eye flashed with surprise, ”Six?”

Fairy Xuan replied, ”Exactly. The Hua Yue Treasure Box, as its name suggests, is said to possess the power to melt the moon. This power originates not from the box itself, but from within it, an artifact known as the Moon Melt Crystal! The treasure box merely enhances the power of the Moon Melt Crystal!

This Moon Melt Crystal absorbs moonlight, dissolves, and transforms it into pure Moon Spiritual Energy, greatly benefiting the people of Chenyue Sea. It not only strengthens the gradually thinning bloodline of the Moon God Clan but also aids in cultivation and secret technique training!

Chenyue Sea has a Moon Melt Crystal vein running through the Nine Great Sea Regions, yet with the combined power of the various sea regions within Chenyue Sea, not many can be harvested annually, thus only six Hua Yue Treasure Boxes can be refined yearly. Each box sees contributions from across the Nine Great Sea Regions, some provide Moon Melt Crystals, others supply materials for refining the boxes, and some invite renowned artifact forgers...

But with only six boxes, how should they be distributed?”

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed, ”Martial Arts Tournament?”

Fairy Xuan chuckled, ”Indeed! The Nine Great Sea Regions agreed to hold a Martial Arts Tournament. Each region would distribute certain quotas based on their contribution during the refining of Hua Yue Treasure Boxes, gathering prodigies under five hundred years old for martial competitions!”

Ye Chen nodded, noting that such Supreme Treasures should be given to the best prodigies within Chenyue Sea.

Fairy Xuan continued, ”This Martial Arts Tournament in Chenyue Sea is called the Hua Yue Competition, featuring six categories assessing martial artists in six aspects, choosing six top martial artists, though repeat winners may occur...”

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened, ”In other words, if there’s someone exceptionally outstanding, they could win multiple Hua Yue Treasure Boxes?”

Fairy Xuan laughed, ”Indeed... trading with the Inner Sea Royal Family is advantageous because the Inner Sea holds more quotas in the Hua Yue Competition, whereas in the Outer Sea, unlucky circumstances might offer only one quota, making obtaining it more challenging...”

This is natural; with only one quota, the Guanghan Palace Royals might reserve it for someone truly loyal or an outstanding junior within the royal family...

Excitement tinged Ye Chen’s expression, as his comprehensive prowess could match or even exceed those in the Late-stage Qiankun Realm. The Hua Yue Competition seemed well-suited to him!

Yet, Fairy Xuan reminded, ”Ye Chen, each martial artist can only participate in the Hua Yue Competition once in a lifetime, and you need at least six Hua Yue Treasure Boxes to dissolve the entire Moon God Secret Realm! You cannot afford even a single defeat!”

Ye Chen’s face changed slightly at her words...

Chenyue Sea’s martial prowess is exceedingly strong, possibly rivaling that of the Dark Domain, and he must dominate all aspects against the monsters within Chenyue Sea to secure enough Hua Yue Treasure Boxes to refine Burning Heaven?

The difficulty is conceivable!!!

This differs greatly from the agent assessment in the Dark Domain!

Agent assessments limit martial artists’ cultivation to certain realms, but this event has no such restrictions!

Though possessing Late-stage Qiankun Realm strength under five hundred is extremely difficult, who’s to say there aren’t world-class prodigies?

He wore a wry smile, yet battle intent gleamed in his eyes!

...

No one knew that after the blue and white colored ship left the sea region they were just in, disturbances arose in the Void, and a somewhat slender figure appeared atop the sea surface.

A young prodigy had been hiding here all along!

A young prodigy even Lin Jianqing, such a powerful being, couldn’t detect!

This truly was incredible!

Though the young prodigy looked sixteen or seventeen, his real age was five to six hundred; of course, this is still considered extremely young among martial artists.

The prodigy wore a somewhat pale face, a delicate appearance, and long pale purple hair. On his forehead, a strange rune was engraved, and in his violet orchid-colored eyes, a mysterious light flickered, giving him an extraordinary air.

Yet the most enigmatic aspect was the human head he held in his hand!
