The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3451: Chapter 3451: I’ve Been Waiting for You (Second Update)

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. After such a battle, the Nine Nether Tiger seemed on the verge of awakening its memories. If it did so under these circumstances, it could become an unpredictable factor, and fighting it would be troublesome.

The Ancient Box flew out, and Ye Chen directly placed the Nine Nether Tiger inside it, then responded to the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, "I don’t know."

Ye Chen truly didn’t know what the stone door in this pit was, but during the previous battle when a massive pit was blasted open, Ye Chen felt as if something in the pit was summoning him.

Now it seemed that the source of this strange feeling was the stone door. As for what lay behind it, they would find out once it was opened.

"Let’s go down and take a look," Ye Chen said calmly, his body trembling as violent power surged out, descending onto the stone door like a Supreme Sovereign.

As Ye Chen landed, the dust on the stone door was blown away by the wind, and the appearance of the stone door was revealed clearly before Ye Chen.

At this moment, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Little Gold also landed, looking at the stone door with astonishment. They could vaguely tell the stone door seemed to have the aura of endless ages and a history reaching far back.

The stone door faced the sky, emitting a faint glow, with a summoning power attracting Ye Chen.

"This appears to be a formation."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and landed on the stone door. After all the dust dissipated, he discovered the stone door was actually circular, with countless mysterious runes engraved along its edge.

In the center of the stone door, there were eight colorful and remarkably beautiful gemstones inlaid, exuding an ancient aura.

Chains were carved on the stone door, and where the chains intersected, there was a faint, illusory figure.

"Heavenly Demon Bright Eye!" Ye Chen again used this technique. This time, his target was not the Master of the Inner Demon, so he faced no resistance. In an instant, Ye Chen understood what the stone door truly was.

"As expected, it’s a formation, a teleportation formation," Ye Chen’s lips curled slightly. He suddenly pointed towards the center, at the point surrounded by the eight gemstones.

"Sizzle!"

Spiritual energy converged upon it, causing the stone door to tremble at that moment, with ancient chants echoing, as if carrying Ye Chen and his three companions across the endless river of time.

Waves of Hongmeng Energy spread out, and the stone door beneath their feet began to rotate slowly. In the next second, a light enveloped Ye Chen and his companions.

"Buzz!"

The earth quaked, and divine light illuminated everything, obscuring all sights. By the time the divine light dissipated, the pit was already devoid of Ye Chen and his companions’ presence, with just the gradually halting, dimming stone door indicating that someone had been here moments ago.

"Roar!"

The world spun around, and Ye Chen and his companions were transmitted to a mysterious space. The surroundings suddenly darkened, but a beast’s roar suddenly echoed at that moment.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of muffled collision sounds resounded, and in the next moment, a massive crimson figure charged out from the darkness, pouncing directly at Ye Chen and his companions.

In an instant, Ye Chen could see the figure clearly. It was a monster resembling a fierce tiger with a gigantic body, featuring two tiger heads with black and white stripes and a pair of ragged, black bat wings on its back, trailing nine tails behind.

"Hmph, Evil Demon Tiger!" the Sky-covering Demon Emperor snorted coldly, evidently recognizing what it was, as his body trembled and demonic qi erupted in all directions.

"Roar..." The creature known as the Evil Demon Tiger was terrified by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s presence. Its eyes filled with fear, and it quickly lowered its head, respectfully lying in submission.

"What is this Evil Demon Tiger?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Although this monster feared the Sky-covering Demon Emperor greatly, its power was not weak, having reached the Heavenly God Realm First Layer Heaven.

"It’s a type of demon, but it only existed in ancient times and should be extinct now," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor explained.

Upon hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Ye Chen’s eyes, "It seems this place should be an important realm of the Netherworld Hall. This Evil Demon Tiger must be one of its guardians."

"If this place is important, there wouldn’t be just this one tiger, right?" Little Gold asked curiously, glancing at Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, who both looked at him with a knowing smile.

Then, Ye Chen casually flicked his fingers, and a light appeared out of nowhere, flowing brilliantly and illuminating the mysterious space.

One after another, Evil Demon Tigers appeared from the darkness, roaring menacingly. The space was complex, filled with countless passages exuding a mysterious ancient aura.

"This many?" Little Gold hadn’t noticed this before and now scanned the surroundings in surprise, seeing Evil Demon Tigers everywhere.

"These demons are numerous, but they can’t even block one Holy Ancestor Realm entity. The Netherworld Hall can’t have such limited strength, can it?"

Little Gold spoke again.

"Certainly not," Ye Chen replied with a serene smile, drawing out the Slaughter Sword and casually striking forth.

Although Ye Chen struck casually, the sword swing was still tyrannically powerful, with violent energy bursting forth instantly.

"Roar!" The Evil Demon Tigers, infuriated by the strike, opened their bloodthirsty jaws and roared angrily.

Yet, in the next second, the sword light shattered countless Evil Demon Tigers, with blood exploding violently in all directions. The rest of the Evil Demon Tigers were stunned, pleading pitifully, losing their dignified bearing as beasts, appearing more like kittens in their begging demeanor.

After intimidating countless Evil Demon Tigers, Ye Chen soared into the air, wielding the Slaughter Sword as he flew over the heads of the frightened tigers.

This space contained numerous channels, but three were the broadest, with intricately carved murals on the walls, evidently of greater importance compared to the others. Ye Chen chose the central one.

"Little Gold, Senior Demon Emperor, let’s split up into three paths to explore swiftly," Ye Chen said calmly.

"Alright," Little Gold and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor agreed, entering the broad channels on either side.

Having been intimidated by Ye Chen’s earlier sword strike, along with the menacing demonic qi of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, the Evil Demon Tigers dared not cause trouble again, though their eyes still flickered with bloodthirsty gleams.

In this mysterious place, the Evil Demon Tigers were just the weakest, so they didn’t dare to enter the passages and only lingered in the outermost hall, as within the passages, even stronger entities awaited!

Upon entering the central passage, Ye Chen immediately sensed a peculiar force enveloping the corridor, with faint chants echoing from the void, along with flowing light. The stone statues on the walls, it seemed, were blinking.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, a colossal three-headed, six-armed Giant charged out of the mural, its stone body instantly turning into real flesh and blood. It launched a violent punch towards Ye Chen.

"Hmph, I’ve been waiting for you."

Ye Chen chuckled coldly, as the Slaughter Sword swung with murderous intent, the Destruction Divine Dao exploding into action. The overwhelming power, coupled with Ye Chen’s immense aura, seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth with this single strike.

The Giant’s brutal gaze suddenly showed a trace of fear, hastily pleading, "Spare me, my lord, I..."
