The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2644: Chapter 2618: Light in the Dark (Three Updates)

Even weaker Chaos Experts would risk leaving a lasting hidden danger if they lingered too long within this miasma, potentially even harming their martial arts foundation.

No one knew that deep within this miasma lay an ancient hall, shrouded in an aura so otherworldly and eerie that one could almost feel it predated the Divine Kingdom itself.

Inside this hall stood a grotesque statue, horrifying in its appearance: humanoid yet inhuman, with wings sprouting from its back, a gaping maw of fangs, four monstrous arms, and three piercing eyes.

At this moment, figures cloaked in black robes were seated in a circle beneath the malevolent statue, their faces obscured beneath hooded garments and ghost-like masks that distorted their features.

Judging from their silhouettes, some appeared male, others female; most resembled humans, yet a few unmistakably betrayed their non-human origins.

If there was anything these people shared, it was their overwhelming presence—their auras were unbelievably powerful!

In fact, more than a few radiated a horrifying aura that could send chills down anyone’s spine.

At this moment, these robed figures poured streams of immense energy into the statue, as though striking at some barrier or obstruction.

Suddenly, a strange, terrifying, hoarse, and guttural moan reverberated through the ancient hall...

It felt as if something was awakening from a long, dark slumber...

Those mighty figures clad in black robes trembled instinctively upon hearing the sound!

They seemed both elated and fearful!

After a brief moment of silence...

The deep and unearthly voice echoed once again, more ominous than ever, resounding from within the hall.

And this time, the voice carried with it a raging fury!

”The fragment of my Divine Soul, left in the God Suppressing Tower—it was destroyed by someone?”

The group felt the wrath embedded in the voice and began to tremble involuntarily!

Simultaneously, shock swept through their masked faces, their eyes betraying immense disbelief!

They understood all too well the terror associated with the owner of this voice. Someone had managed to obliterate even a fragment of its Divine Soul?

It defied reason!

Like fantasy spun from delusion!

One of the male figures in black robes hesitated briefly, then spoke with utmost reverence: ”Master, was it the fragment you left in the God Suppressing Tower, bidding its time, prepared to act only when a vessel of unparalleled talent appeared—a heaven-defying spiritual root capable of carrying your power? Shall we investigate further?”

The ominous voice paused, seemingly contemplating the suggestion, and after some moments replied, ”Very well. But dispatching one person will suffice; our priority now is breaking this seal! The prophecy for my clan’s emergence draws near. Before that, I must shatter the bindings and be reborn!”

”Understood!”

The voice continued, ”Jiang You, you shall handle this matter. Find that person—and bring them to me.”

Upon hearing his name, one of the figures trembled with barely contained excitement; his eyes lit up with unrestrained joy!

He knelt fervently and declared, ”I humbly obey your command, Master!”

This hall imprisoned an unfathomably powerful Ancient Demon. Though these martial artists gained immense strength through serving the demon and working to break its seal...

...they paid the price with their freedom.

Now, given the faint chance to return to the Divine Kingdom, how could they not feel exhilarated?

The others in the hall cast envious glances at Jiang You, their gazes thick with admiration.

Jiang You smirked, his figure flickering as he moved to exit the ancient hall. The toxic miasma, deadly to ordinary Chaotic Martial Artists, seemed entirely harmless to him; he even removed his mask and inhaled deeply, savoring the poisonous air as though it were a rare delight!

This Jiang You appeared as a young man—his face pale but strikingly handsome, his deeply set eyes brimming with an enigmatic allure.

With another blur of motion, his figure vanished from the poisonous valley...

His speed defied description!

...

White Valley City.

The closest Divine Kingdom city to the toxic valley drowned in miasma.

It also neighbored the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace.

That night, a shadowy figure materialized within the Void, overlooking the brightly illuminated White Valley City below. A cruel smile curled across its face.

This figure was, naturally, Jiang You!

In a flash, his form pierced through the protective light of the city’s massive defensive formation as though it were nothing, entering silently without disturbing the barrier.

At the top floor of the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion within White Valley City, a young man dressed in white robes was leisurely reading an ancient book.

Though he appeared young, it was clear...

...he was a powerful martial artist at the Half-step Chaos Realm!

Suddenly, the flame of the lamp before him flickered unexpectedly.

The youth glanced at the lamp with a trace of curiosity. This Spiritual Lamp was no ordinary mundane light; even the mightiest whirlwind shouldn’t cause its flame to waver.

Why had it flickered just now?

Just as the man raised his gaze, he glimpsed something—a shadowy figure now looming quietly in the corner of the room!

A sudden rush of movement! The youth sprang to his feet, his wrist flicking, clutching a supreme-grade ancient blade in his hand. Pointing the sword toward the figure, he demanded coldly: ”Who dares trespass here? Do you know this is the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion?! How dare you act so brazenly?”

Despite his commanding presence, the youth’s pupils tightened slightly in surprise!

This intruder had entered his chamber silently, without his detection. How terrifying!

And more unnerving still—he couldn’t determine this person’s cultivation level. The intruder was shrouded in utter mystery!

The shadow laughed softly, stepping from the corner’s darkness into the light. Its bloodthirsty eyes gleamed as it approached the youth and whispered chillingly, ”Who am I? You’ll find out soon enough...”

Half an hour later, Jiang You emerged from the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion, a casual and relaxed expression spreading across his face—almost as though he had just finished enjoying some pleasurable pastime.

His eyes glinted mischievously as he murmured to himself, ”What an unexpected discovery! It seems that little brat is somehow tied to the Divine Extreme Sect? To think... I share such fateful connections with this sect? And that boy named Ye Chen—he even has ties to that person? Hah, so, that worthless fool of years past didn’t die after all?”

With that, his figure blurred as he disappeared off into the distance.

Inside the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion, a horrifying scene unfolded—a sight straight from the depths of hell!

Blood was smeared everywhere; mangled corpses littered the floor!

Not a single soul had survived within the pavilion!

More horrifying still was the agonized expressions frozen on the corpses’ faces; they seemed to have endured indescribable pain before dying, their broken bodies beyond recognition.

It was as if they had faced merciless, unspeakable torment before being cruelly extinguished.
