The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3297: Chapter 4074: An Ant-like Existence (Fourth Update)

"The Tomb Guardian has appeared!"

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up. This ancient figure was shrouded in poisonous mist, exuding a very sinister aura that made one’s skin crawl just by looking at it.

"I am the Heavenly Poison, the Tomb Guardian of this place. Young man, do you wish to refine the Poison Stele?"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, scrutinized Ye Chen with a cold gaze.

"Indeed, I ask that you help me, elder," Ye Chen said, cupping his hands.

"Heh, a mere waste from the fifth-level Chaos Realm, you have no right to refine the Poison Stele. Get out of here!"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, scowled and shouted angrily.

"If I defeat you, can I then claim the Poison Stele?"

Ye Chen’s eyes were sharp as he asked.

"Heh, you think you can defeat me? What a fool’s dream! Under the crushing Abyss Poison Mist, not even your bones will remain! Out of consideration for your hard-earned cultivation, I’ll give you a chance to leave. Get out of here quickly!"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, scoffed, his entire being surrounded by turbulent, terrifying mist.

"I am determined to obtain this Poison Stele, elder, please teach me!"

Despite the Tomb Guardian’s words, Ye Chen showed no intention of retreating. He suddenly swung the Dragonslayer Sword, unleashing the Destruction Divine Dao. The Eight Trigrams Aura of heaven and earth, water and fire, and Thunder Marsh Wind Mountain erupted instantly, fiercely slashing towards the Tomb Guardian.

"Oh, the Destruction Divine Dao and Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique, that’s interesting."

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, was slightly surprised to see Ye Chen’s strike.

Destruction Divine Dao is one of the strongest daos in the world.

Very few have refined it.

Other than the one known as the Destruction Venerate.

The Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique is an alchemical technique. To use it in combat, one must master all Eight Techniques, which is extremely difficult.

Yet at that moment, Ye Chen’s sword qi was as fluid as running clouds, with the Daoist essence blossoming, clearly having grasped the essences of the Eight Trigrams Sky Pill Technique and Destruction Divine Dao.

"If that’s your trump card, I suggest you refrain from seeking death."

After a brief moment of surprise, the Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, resumed his indifferent look.

With a wave of his hand, tendrils of Abyss Poison Mist were released, forming into a devil’s claw that reached for Ye Chen’s sword.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt his breath stagnate, as if even his breathing had halted.

The poison mist in the Tomb Guardian’s hand exuded an exceptionally intense aura, far surpassing the Corrosion Law of the Upper Realm, revealing faint secrets of the "source."

"Is this the Abyss Poison Mist?"

Ye Chen was secretly startled. This Abyss Poison Mist seemed to harbor secrets of the "source."

If there indeed exists a source of poison gas in the world, Ye Chen had no doubt that the Abyss Poison Mist was the embodiment of that poison source, containing supreme source secrets.

The poison mist had not yet struck, but the dao light on Ye Chen’s sword was already being suppressed, all divine light dimmed. If truly attacked by the mist, both he and his sword would likely perish.

Ye Chen hurriedly retreated, stepping back dozens of steps in an instant, dodging the assault of the Abyss Poison Mist.

"Can you escape?"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, looked fierce, his withered finger pointing. The poison mist turned into a black dragon, transforming into a thousand-mile river, rolling and thundering as it attacked Ye Chen.

"Great Mighty Sky Dragon, All Heavens Dharma Forms, Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven, descend!"

In a critical moment, Ye Chen shouted aloud, forming a magic spell with his hands, stamping his foot on the ground. A grand Buddha Light Barrier instantly unfurled beneath him.

The Buddha Energy rolled with supreme solemnity and grandeur, instantaneously quelling the calamitous doomsday-like world around, halting storms, ceasing frost and snow, stabilizing the earth, and clearing the sky.

Strands of Auspicious Qi, ribbons of Golden Light, swept across the sky. Above the heavens, it seemed that endless Dharma Forms of Buddhas, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas were chanting and praying, the mighty Buddha’s influence illuminating the earth, transforming the once desolate Poison Stele space into a sacred and solemn realm.

Chhh!

The tendrils of Abyss Poison Mist, under the sweep of the endless Buddha Light, melted away swiftly like ice and snow.

"Oh, Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven? You actually practice Dual Cultivation of Buddhist Dao?"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, was also visibly surprised by this.

Dual Cultivation of Buddhist Dao, especially both being the Hongmeng Ancient Technique, requires exceptionally deep talent and heaven-defying aptitude. It’s something ordinary people can’t achieve, yet Ye Chen had accomplished it, indicating his extraordinary gift and superior qualification.

"I’ll give you another chance, leave quickly!"

"With your dual cultivation of Buddhist Dao, your talent is extraordinary and otherworldly. In time, you shall achieve great things!"

"Once you reach the Heavenly God Realm, return to claim the Poison Stele. It will be foolproof!"

"But now, with your mere fifth-level Chaos Realm, your cultivation is too weak. Don’t seek death in vain, there’s plenty of time ahead, why rush? Leave now!"

With Ye Chen’s remarkable talent, the Tomb Guardian was reluctant to kill him and repeatedly urged him to leave.

As long as Ye Chen could withstand the solitude, he could easily pass the test upon entering the Heavenly God Realm.

But for now, there was immense danger!

"Ten thousand years is too long, I strive for the present!"

Ye Chen roared to the sky, the chants of all heavens’ Gods and Buddhas resonating. Countless Golden Lights gathered on him. At this moment, he appeared as the Buddha, Ancestor Tianluo, with an imposing might that could shake mountains and rivers, incredibly fierce.

"Golden Light of Silence, Destruction Divine Dao, kill!"

Ye Chen pointed fiercely, a terrifying Buddha’s Golden Light, bearing the overwhelming aura of Nirvana and Destruction, brazenly attacking the Tomb Guardian.

He sought to subdue the Tomb Guardian with the supreme might of the Buddha and destruction.

"Stubbornness!"

The Tomb Guardian, Heavenly Poison, was full of anger, his gaze furious: "I gave you a chance and you refused, insisting on courting death. I’ll fulfill your wish! Abyss Poison Mist, suppress him!"

Massive bursts of poison mist erupted violently from the Tomb Guardian, engulfing the entire sky and earth, casting a somber pall over everything.

The dreadful corrosive aura corroded the sky and the ground, seemingly intending to poison and eradicate all, the rolling mist rumbling ferociously, arriving before Ye Chen in mere moments.

Ye Chen’s pointed attack, the piercing Golden Light of Nirvana, clashed fiercely with the Abyss Poison Mist.

Boom!

The collision of Golden Light and Poison Mist resulted in an earth-shattering explosion.

Countless poison gas spread, turning the world into a hazy expanse. Strands of the Buddha’s Golden Light were swallowed and vanished without a trace.

The Buddha Light Barrier beneath Ye Chen’s feet instantly dissolved under the horrific impact of the poison mist, his skin immediately turning a purplish-black as threads of poison gas burrowed relentlessly into his body like maggots.

"Not good!"

Ye Chen’s face changed dramatically, not expecting the Tomb Guardian’s Abyss Poison Mist to be so formidable.

His Golden Light of Silence was completely submerged in an instant, suppressed without serving any purpose.

"Hmph, boy, your Buddhist cultivation falls short. If you had the prowess of the Ancient God Emperor or Bei Chan Emperor, perhaps I’d be wary. But you, at this moment, as a mere fifth-level Chaos Realm existence, are like an ant. Die!"
