The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2981: Chapter 2955: The Empress Decides! (Fourth Update)

"Not yet, but close."

Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were icy as she swung her sword straight at the Yan Tian Dragon God. Threads of Reincarnation Star Flame entwined the blade, its momentum earth-shattering, as if to roast the cosmic constellations, exuding an intense and fierce aura.

Ye Chen concentrated and immediately noticed that the aura of Reincarnation Star Flame around Xia Ruoxue was not yet at its most perfected division of realms, just a remnant force.

Clearly, Xia Ruoxue had not successfully refined it, but she had managed to extract a trace of Reincarnation Star Flame energy for her use.

Even a sliver of the Reincarnation Star Flame’s energy burst forth with overwhelming Divine Might.

The entire Void’s temperature soared drastically.

The mountains, rivers, sun, and moon seemed to be on the brink of boiling.

This sword stroke from Xia Ruoxue was like molten lava from Purgatory, unstoppable.

This wasn’t a phenomenon someone of her realm could summon, but she did it!

One could see the terror of the Reincarnation Star Flame!

"Ah, Reincarnation Star Flame! You’ve already merged with a trace of its aura."

The Yan Tian Dragon God’s voice trembled!

The Reincarnation Star Flame is a divine fire of heaven and earth, sourced in the body of the Upper Realm Empress. Such a level of divine fire, even a tiny bit of energy, is enough to scorch the heavens and obliterate everything, demanding immense reverence even from him.

The Upper Realm Empress maintains her undying, eternally youthful dominance over the world, partially thanks to this Reincarnation Star Flame!

Who would’ve thought it would be wielded by a woman from the Divine Kingdom now!

Pfft!

Caught off guard, the Yan Tian Dragon God was slashed by Xia Ruoxue’s sword.

Containing the power of Reincarnation and the aura of Star Flame, the sword viciously cleaved through his dragon scales and flesh, reaching down to the bone, nearly charring it to coal.

The energy of the Reincarnation Star Flame is too terrifying; even the robust physical body of the Yan Tian Dragon God could not withstand it.

A deep sword wound immediately appeared on his dragon body.

"Consider yourselves lucky."

The Yan Tian Dragon God gritted his teeth, the Dragon Sways Tail, tearing the Void, swiftly fleeing.

If he continued to entangle, he had no chance of winning against Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue teaming up.

Even if he used all his divine trump cards to kill them both, it would certainly come at a massive cost, outweighing any gains.

"Sister Xue is amazing."

The Star Spirit floated over, voice full of delight.

Xia Ruoxue smiled bitterly, her face pale, a touch of crimson blood seeping out.

The Reincarnation Star Flame is ultimately too overwhelming, and using it now exacted a heavy toll on her.

"What’s the matter?"

Ye Chen hurriedly supported her, asking with concern.

"The Reincarnation Star Flame—I haven’t fully refined it yet."

Sweat beaded on Xia Ruoxue’s forehead; the Reincarnation Star Flame was still suppressed in her lower abdomen. She had just isolated a trace of energy to fend off the Yan Tian Dragon God successfully.

But now was not the time to celebrate.

For she had not fully refined it.

Only by thoroughly refining the Reincarnation Star Flame could she escape danger, mastering the supreme Heaven Fire divine might.

"Ruoxue, then refine it. I’ll protect you."

Ye Chen held Xia Ruoxue’s arm, helping her onto the deck.

With the morning sun’s rays illuminating, Xia Ruoxue sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and continued refining the Reincarnation Star Flame.

Now was the crucial final moment; just a little more endurance, and the great work would be complete.

And Ye Chen, guarding Xia Ruoxue, also quietly regulated his breathing, recovering his depleted spiritual energy.

"Brother Ye Chen, you don’t know how dangerous it was just now."

The Star Spirit floated before Ye Chen, chattering away about everything that had happened in the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace just now.

"Upper Realm Venerate Clan, Empress Supreme, Xuanji!"

Listening to the Star Spirit’s words, Ye Chen’s eyes ignited with towering anger.

For some reason, the news of the Upper Realm and the Empress stirred an ancient resentment within his soul, mixed with a volcanic fury, surging to the forefront.

"This so-called Upper Realm Empress, did I have some grievance with her in a past life?"

"Could it be that it was the Upper Realm Empress who caused my downfall in the past life?"

Ye Chen’s gaze was grave, murderous intent seeping out.

He sensed the anger and hatred within were remnants of his past life.

"Forget it, regardless of anything, this Xuanji dared to harm Ruoxue, I will absolutely not let her go!"

Ye Chen clenched his fist; the grave danger Xia Ruoxue faced was entirely caused by Xuanji.

If not for her, Xia Ruoxue might have already refined the Reincarnation Star Flame, with her level of cultivation skyrocketing.

"However, this Xuanji belongs to the Upper Realm Venerate Clan, possessing extremely terrifying power. Even severely injured, she’s not someone I can defeat."

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered; he was clearly aware of his own strength.

Facing the Yan Tian Dragon God, he still had a fighting chance.

But against Xuanji, he had no chance of winning.

After all, the gap in division of realms was just too vast.

Even with Xuanji’s current state, seriously injured by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, she still wasn’t someone he could challenge.

"Forget it, let’s leave this place first. One day, I’ll make her vanish without a trace!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, steering the flying ship swiftly away.

The urgent matter is to escape and let Xia Ruoxue get through this peril.

Revenge can wait.

Ye Chen knew his potential very well; given a bit of time, he could eliminate any challenge, be it the Heavenly Dao Palace or Xuanji.

Even one day, he could strike into the Upper Realm!

Time, what he needed most now was time to grow.

The Dragon Scale Flying Boat traveled tranquilly through the Void, swiftly escaping into the distance.

...

Meanwhile.

After the Yan Tian Dragon God had escaped, intending to leave the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace and hasten back to the Heavenly Dao Palace, he was intercepted halfway by a beautiful figure marked with a trace of blood.

It was Xuanji!

"Lord Xuanji!"

The Yan Tian Dragon God called out, only to find that Xuanji’s aura was completely different from before.

Clearly, the power the Upper Realm Empress bestowed upon her had completely dissipated.

She had even suffered backlash.

However, it wasn’t excessively dire; even wounded, she had enough sway in the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace!

"Lord Xuanji, you..."

"Right, what about that blood dragon, did it die?"

The Yan Tian Dragon God cautiously inquired, his main concern was the blood dragon’s fate.

After all, the blood dragon’s bloodline suppression made him very uncomfortable.

He only wished to see the blood dragon fall.

Just now, in the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, the blood dragon had already been heavily injured by Xuanji, on the verge of death—did something unexpected happen?

"No, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor arrived."

Xuanji’s voice was low, tinged with weariness.

The Emperor’s Aura mark on her forehead had completely vanished, and in her current state, she definitely could not contend against the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

Hence, she planned to return to the Upper Realm first and report this matter.

Let the Empress decide personally!

However, she had botched everything the Empress instructed. If the Empress found out, she’d not even know how she would die.

"The Sky-covering Demon Emperor descended?"

The Yan Tian Dragon God’s eyes narrowed, not expecting such a twist.

"What about your side? Did the Sin Woman submit to justice? Where are your subordinates?"

Xuanji’s gaze was chilling, seeing the Yan Tian Dragon God alone made her have an ominous premonition.

If Xia Ruoxue had submitted to justice and been executed, she could still have something to account for before the Empress.

But if Xia Ruoxue had escaped, then there would be trouble.
