The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2281: Bloodline Discovery

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Ye Chen moved forward, he encountered a door that was tightly shut.

Next to the door lay a demon corpse that was already deceased. Only its bones remained.

In its bony hand, there was a sheepskin scroll. Ye Chen approached and took the sheepskin scroll to examine it.

He observed that there were no words written on it, just a picture.

The image depicted a large alchemy furnace, with two elder figures who appeared wise, seemingly engaged in the process of refining pills.

Aside from that, there was nothing more to see.

Ye Chen pushed open the door and entered with Mu Yan. Inside, they discovered ten corpses surrounding them.

The corpses were arranged in an orderly fashion, their hands resting over their chests.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Chen noticed a black bead within the mouth of each corpse.

The bead was crystal clear, and after all these years, it still shimmered with a radiant glow.

The strength of the ten corpses had reached the peak of the Sealed Gate realm, which was significantly weaker than the Black Demon.

Ye Chen attempted to communicate with the Demon Emperor, but received no response.

It was evident that these were not needed for the Demon Emperor to revive.

Moreover, these corpses were on the brink of decay. The only reason they had survived until now was their immense vitality when they were alive.

Mu Yan sensed something and extracted a bead from one of the ten corpses.

”Do not move!” The Little Daoist’s expression shifted dramatically.

He had just spoken, but it was already too late. Mu Yan had already removed it.

At the moment the bead was taken, the entire tomb trembled.

The black bead slipped from Mu Yan’s grasp. It erupted from the mouths of the remaining nine demon corpses and hovered above Ye Chen and his companions.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

No one had anticipated this sudden change. Behind them, the door remained firmly shut.

A crack appeared in the beads, and dark light erupted. The sound of a beastly roar filled the air.

Ye Chen looked up and saw a demonic beast emerging from the crack in the bead.

Ten demonic beastss appeared. They were not large, yet the aura they exuded made Ye Chen feel uneasy.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen used the Heaven-burning Sword. A torrential sword beam descended as the spiritual energy in his dantian flowed vigorously.

He exerted all of his strength into this strike!

Instantly, ten clouds of bloody mist filled the air.

Ye Chen sheathed the Rotten Beast Sword and glanced at the Little Daoist, noticing the frown etched on his face.

”Do you know something about this?” Ye Chen inquired.

From the outset, Ye Chen had sensed that the Little Daoist had visited this place before.

When Mu Yan extracted the bead, the Little Daoist’s words further confirmed Ye Chen’s suspicions.

”This is the lair of an ancient evil demon. Its body lies imprisoned in the deepest recesses of the tomb.”

”The corpse of this ancient evil demon has defied death for ten thousand years. It is exceedingly dangerous.”

”As for more details, I cannot share. My master instructed me that the secrets of heaven must remain hidden. Revealing them could lead to trouble on the path to the Dao.”

”We cannot retreat now.”

There was no option for retreat. The door behind them had sealed shut completely.

Ye Chen attempted to break it down with brute force, but his efforts proved futile.

The three of them were now trapped within the tomb as time elapsed.

The death energy in the tomb thickened with each passing moment. Mu Yan observed that dark green patterns were gradually forming on her skin.

It was not solely Mu Yan. The Little Daoist’s arm bore the same markings.

This pattern radiated a trace of burning heat.

The young Daoist priest opened his arm and sighed in resignation.

Suddenly, the Little Daoist noticed something. He turned over Ye Chen’s hand and found that there was not a single mark upon it.

In addition, Ye Chen’s body glimmered with a unique light.

”What?” The young Taoist’s eyes widened in surprise, but realization quickly dawned upon him. ”I forgot that you possess the High Winds Divine Bloodline.”

Ye Chen sensed that the Little Daoist was knowledgeable and quickly inquired, ”Are you familiar with the High Winds Divine Bloodline?”

The Little Daoist nodded. He seemed to be divining something for a moment before assessing that there was no immediate risk in explaining.

”The High Winds Divine Bloodline is a special bloodline. It is an extremely volatile existence among the ten divine bloodlines. It may control a fragment of the wind and enhance your speed. However, those are not its primary attributes. Its most significant use is to absorb external power. This power encompasses many elements, including the enemy’s sword essence and killing intent, as well as heaven-defying poison.”

”There has always been something amiss with your High Winds Divine Bloodline. It has remained dormant for a long time. Just now, the poison that rivals the Innate Poison Body was absorbed by the High Winds Divine Bloodline.”

Ye Chen’s heart raced. ”What occurs when the absorption reaches its limit?” he asked.

The Little Daoist rolled his eyes at Ye Chen.

”If I am not mistaken, the Reincarnation Tablet you refined only released a fraction of its power. The remainder was absorbed by the High Winds Divine Bloodline.”

”It is competing with you for sustenance.”

”It is akin to an entity that cannot sate its hunger. Once it is full, it possesses the potential to shake the world.”

Ye Chen felt elated.

The High Winds Divine Bloodline, which he had once deemed the most inconsequential, was actually so powerful.

In that case, the Red Dust Divine Bloodline was responsible for defense. The High Winds Divine Bloodline could unleash a formidable attack in its unstable state!

As Ye Chen was about to ask another question, the Little Daoist interjected impatiently, ”I truly do not comprehend how you managed to obtain this divine bloodline. You do not possess even the slightest understanding of the basics.”

”The High Winds Divine Bloodline may be exceptionally potent, but its volatility is a significant concern. The only means to stabilize it is with the fire attribute Reincarnation Tablet.”

At that moment, Mu Yan cried out in pain.

Ye Chen was alarmed to discover that the poison within Mu Yan had spread further.

The young Daoist priest appeared uncomfortable as well.

Naturally, Ye Chen could not remain inactive. He turned to the Little Daoist and exclaimed, ”Since you possess such knowledge, you must have a method to eliminate this poison, correct?”

”Indeed.” The Little Daoist nodded. ”As long as we locate the tomb of the ancient evil demon and acquire its blood, we can survive.”

”But there may be numerous powerful demon corpses within. Are you certain you wish to proceed?”

Ye Chen gazed into the depths of the perilous location. The Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear were firmly in his grasp, with Mu Yan positioned behind him.

With determination, he surged forward.

The sword essence emanating from Ye Chen radiated outward, shaking the very fabric of space.

A buzzing sound resonated from the Rotten Beast Sword as he swung his arm, and a sword beam shot forth.

Boom!

The sword beam struck an evil demon corpse in an instant.

Kacha!

The evil demon corpse closest to him was torn asunder, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

Ye Chen quickly distanced himself from the blood mist to avoid its corrosive effects.

Mu Yan followed closely behind him, while Ye Chen wielded the Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly DIvine Demon Divine Spear, carving a path forward.

The scent of blood filled the air. The further he advanced, the greater the pressure Ye Chen felt.

As he pressed on, Ye Chen discovered various crossroads. There were at least one hundred tombs within.

Ye Chen furrowed his brow. He could not afford to waste time.

Searching through the hundreds of caves one by one would take at least half a day.

What he lacked most at this moment was time.
