The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2242: Sacrificing Everything?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen was slightly stunned. Elder Yong’s words were not directed at him, but the Demon Emperor.

In an instant, demonic energy surged, and he felt a sharp pain from his forehead.

A figure formed from the demonic energy materialized.

It was the Demon Emperor!

The Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky.

He appeared somewhat unwilling and somewhat regretful.

Nevertheless, he embodied a fearless spirit.

Unfortunately, he was nearing the completion of his physical body condensation. If he aided Ye Chen today, all of his prior efforts would be rendered futile.

Despite this, he still opted to take this step.

”Alright, today I shall deliver a heavy blow to the Heavenly Dao Palace, even if it costs me everything!”

The Eternal Sacred King laughed and ascended into the sky.

The aura of a breakthrough surged around him as his breakthrough to the Disaster Slaying realm that had been suppressed for countless years was activated.

The world trembled!

Lightning descended!

This lightning possessed enough strength to withstand the might of the Heavenly Dao!

The Eternal Sacred King’s face turned pale as he opened his palm to tear space apart, revealing another realm.

Demonic energy surged from within, resembling hell itself.

That realm belonged to the Demon Race under Jun Mochen’s control, the continent that had once been protected by the Demon Emperor.

It was the very same Demon Territory that many cultivators in the Lingwu Continent dreaded.

”It is your turn,” he said as he glanced at the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor pointed with a single finger, releasing an aura that defied both heaven and earth.

A heavenly demon pillar seemed to slice through time and space, and the realm, the Demon Territory of Lingwu Continent trembled.

This was due to the return of the former Demon Emperor!

The Demon Emperor harnessed the power of the Demon territory and instantly amplified the Eternal Sacred King’s lightning as it collided fiercely with the Sword of Annihilation.

In the heavens above, the overwhelming energy reached a stalemate.

In the end, both forces were torn apart!

The violent winds overturned everything, and the Eternal Sacred King coughed up blood. He plummeted toward the Demon Territory within the spatial rift, which was within Jun Mochen’s domain.

Ye Chen was also sent flying and fell unconscious. His body descended into the Demon Territory!

Simultaneously, in the Heavenly Dao Palace, the ancient formation disk shattered, and the man atop the divine dragon spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was furious and pale.

He roared, filled with anger and horror, for he had uncovered a monumental secret!

”How is this possible? The Demon Emperor! The Demon Emperor did not actually perish!”

”Eternal Sacred King! You communicated with the Demon Emperor regarding the forbidden formation of the Demon Territory and shattered my Sword of Annihilation!”

”You all deserve death!”

”You are willing to pay such a price merely to protect a brat!”

”Dragon God Yan Tian, it is your turn. I desire for them all to perish!”

The Heavenly Dao Palace Lord was utterly enraged, and even summoned the Dragon God Yan Tian.

Dragon God Yan Tian opened his eyes and ceased speaking. He transformed into a shadow and tore through space, heading toward the Demon Territory.

His power was sufficient to annihilate everything!

If he descended, the Eternal Sacred King, the Demon Emperor, and Ye Chen would meet their end!

At that moment, within the ancient and mysterious Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, a blood-red divine dragon suddenly opened its eyes.

A monstrous bloody intent radiated from its body!

If Ye Chen had been present, he would have recognized that this divine dragon was the long-lost Blood Dragon!

A dragon’s roar echoed across the nine heavens, resonating through the world.

The rift that the Blood Dragon tore through the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace appeared above the Demon Territory as well.

The emergence of the two divine dragons caused the sky to fracture!

Drag God Yan Tian halted and stared at the Blood Dragon before him.

He sensed an immense threat from this divine dragon.

”You must be the one from the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace...”

”Are you aware of my identity in the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace?”

”Do you understand the price you will pay for standing before me?”

”I can obliterate everything you possess with a mere word. I shall ensure that there is no place left for you in the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace!”

However, the Blood Dragon’s eyes remained icy.

He did not utter a word.

He was filled with intense rage.

In the next moment, the Blood Dragon opened his massive mouth, and bloody intent surged into the sky.

The phantoms of a hundred beasts materialized behind him, and a deep and furious roar reverberated through the heavens.

”If you dare touch him, the Heavenly Dao Palace and the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace shall perish alongside him!”

”Blood Devouring the Heavens!”

The two dragons clashed with unimaginable power, and they became entangled!

On this day, the dragon’s roar echoed throughout the entire world!

The two extreme lights shone like the sun and the moon.

However, no one knew what transpired in the sky that day.

What kind of fury did that dragon’s roar embody?

Three days later, at the border of the Demon Territory, in Heavenly Demon City.

A thin, pale-faced young man emerged.

The young man was Ye Chen.

The events of three days prior replayed vividly in Ye Chen’s mind.

He was gravely injured.

Had it not been for the Demon Emperor and the Eternal Sacred King, he would have perished.

As soon as Ye Chen awoke, he immediately attempted to communicate with the Demon Emperor, but to no avail.

Ye Chen recalled the words of the Eternal Sacred King and the Demon Emperor. Could it be that the Demon Emperor had vanished entirely for his sake?

Fortunately, Ye Chen still sensed a faint connection between them.

Regrettably, the Demon Emperor lacked demonic energy and could not be awakened.

He needed to find a location filled with abundant demonic energy that might be capable of awakening the Demon Emperor.

Ye Chen’s heart burned with anger, but that flame was swiftly extinguished.

With his current strength, how could he challenge the Heavenly Dao Palace?

Everything felt too distant.

Since his attempts to communicate with the Demon Emperor yielded no results, Ye Chen resolved to seek out the Eternal Sacred King once more.

Based on what he remembered, the Eternal Sacred King had sustained injuries and fallen into the Demon Territory.

However, he discovered that it was nearly impossible to breach the territory of the demon race.

Even if he regained his peak strength, it might still not be feasible!

All of this was due to the formidable power of the demon race!

Ye Chen had not fully healed from his injuries, so it was impossible for him to force his way inside.

Heavenly Demon City, which was closest to the border of the demon race’s territory, became Ye Chen’s beacon of hope.

He had to infiltrate the demon race!

Although Heavenly Demon City was considered a border city between the Lingwu Continent and the Demon Race, most of its inhabitants were from the Demon Race, with some humans bustling about.

Ye Chen entered Heavenly Demon City and found an inn to stay in. There was a special restaurant on the first floor.

Some cultivators were drinking inside. There was not much difference between the demon race and the human race in essence.

It was merely that the people of the demon race were infused with demonic energy and practiced the Demon Race’s cultivation techniques, leading to a noticeable difference in their auras.

Ye Chen settled in a corner of the restaurant, wearing a bamboo hat and a white robe.

Some cultivators were whispering among themselves about the happenings in the city, and Ye Chen’s keen ears caught wind that the cultivators from the Demon Territory were seeking alchemists in two days.

This revelation presented Ye Chen with an opportunity to disguise himself as an alchemist and infiltrate the Demon Territory.

Previously, Ye Chen had not paid much attention to alchemy. However, since this was the only way to gain entry into the Demon Territory, he dedicated the next two days to cultivating and refining pills.

To Ye Chen’s surprise, the eccentric Divine Doctor Cang Gu presented him with an ancient book.

”Brat, do not overthink it. I truly cannot endure your pathetic alchemy technique. This alchemy technique is slightly better than rubbish. I am giving it to you so that I do not have to suffer watching you anymore.”
