The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3840: Chapter 3840: Why Me? (Part 4)

The entrance to the cave is extremely narrow, and Chen You has set up an array formation around it. Under the suppression of necrosis on spiritual sense, it’s indeed not easy to find this place.

Chen You said, "This cave is the entrance to the Earth Palace. Please follow me closely, Young Master Ye. It seems this cave contains a natural illusionary power. Ordinary martial artists can easily lose their way in the darkness."

Ye Chen nodded and followed Chen You into the cave.

Inside the cave, they kept moving deeper underground. After an unknown amount of time, a blue flame flickered across the corner of Ye Chen’s eye, coming from two statues.

These two statues were carved into two massive evil ghosts, with blue flames burning in their eye sockets!

Illuminated by the flames, what appeared before Ye Chen was an enormous underground palace!

Chen You walked up to the palace’s door and pressed his palm against it. With a loud rumble, the door slowly opened under the explosion of his power!

But behind the door was a deep darkness!

Ye Chen said calmly, "Brother Chen, creating such a huge commotion, won’t it attract the attention of the ghost creatures in this Earth Palace?"

Chen You laughed and said, "After all, once we enter, those ghost creatures will notice us right away. Let’s go!"

With that said, he stepped into the Earth Palace.

But, just before stepping through the palace door, Chen You suddenly turned to look at Ye Chen, who was still standing in place, not moving!

With a smile on his elegant face, Chen You said, "Young Master Ye, are you worried that facing these ghost creatures could be dangerous?"

Ye Chen looked at Chen You but remained silent without answering.

Seeing this, Chen You seemingly assumed Ye Chen was in tacit agreement. He laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Ye, don’t worry. These ghost creatures won’t leave this Earth Palace. If you really encounter danger, as long as you escape outside the door, the ghost creatures won’t continue to chase you.

You, who practice Ghost Control Technique and possess late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm strength, should be able to escape some distance in front of these ghost creatures, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen finally stepped towards the Earth Palace.

Chen You waited until Ye Chen was beside him before stepping forward again.

Soon, their figures disappeared into the darkness behind the door!

Just as Ye Chen and Chen You stepped into the Earth Palace, the door behind them tightly shut with a loud noise.

But, at this moment, Ye Chen wasn’t concerned about the door behind him. Instead, he looked at the Earth Palace with a tinge of horror!

Although the Earth Palace was built enormously, there was nothing special about it. In front of Ye Chen was a corridor with blue flames burning on both sides.

What shocked Ye Chen was the necrosis here!

The Earth Palace is filled with death aura so intense that it reaches its peak!

The necrosis in the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest is already extremely terrifying. Ordinary Heavenly Repairing Realm martial artists can hardly bear it. And in this Earth Palace?

The intensity of necrosis here is hundreds or even thousands of times that of the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest!

Even weaker late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm martial artists couldn’t stay here for long, right?

Even with Ye Chen’s strong constitution, he felt slightly dizzy and quite uncomfortable!

Moreover, despite creating such a huge commotion, no ghost creature appeared before Ye Chen at this moment!

Suddenly, a man’s eerie voice sounded behind Ye Chen.

"Young Master Ye, didn’t you just ask why I chose you to enter the Earth Palace with me?"

Ye Chen’s pupils shrank, and a sense of danger made his heart palpitate, suddenly rising from behind!

Standing behind him was Chen You!

Ye Chen turned abruptly to look at Chen You, his whole body filled with Yin energy, his face losing all color. What replaced it were sinister blue veins, and his previous vitality was gone. Chen You seemed to have turned into a corpse, an incredibly terrifying corpse!

The strangest thing was that his blood and flesh began to frantically contract, and he seemed to regress quickly. Chen You transformed into a Corpse Baby-like terrifying ghost creature!

The ocean of necrosis now surged into Chen You’s body like a moth to a flame. His original Qiankun Realm aura rapidly expanded under the empowerment of necrosis, reaching the second-level Supreme Emperor realm in the blink of an eye!

Second-level Supreme Emperor realm!

When Ye Chen fought Elder Jun, who was suppressed and transformed into a Witch Demon, he used all his means and only barely succeeded with the help of the Soul-cutting Sword, which was incredibly strained!

Now, facing the second-level Supreme Emperor realm Chen You, deprived of the Soul-cutting Sword and with the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics exhausted, Ye Chen has no chance of winning!

Ye Chen expressionlessly looked at Chen You and said, "Was your reason for coaxing me to this Earth Palace?"

Chen You casually smiled and said, "Yes, the necrosis here is incredibly intense, making it the most suitable battlefield for my Netherworld Corpse body. Ordinary martial artists’ powers decline, while mine will frantically elevate. For some reason, you always give me a very strange feeling. If I don’t lure you here, I couldn’t be at ease."

Xuan Han Yu spoke, "The Netherworld Corpse body is an ancient Corpse Dao cultivation method. The cultivator must first find a woman of pure Yin spirit and mate with her. Once she becomes pregnant, use special means to refine her into a corpse!

This way, one can obtain a soulless Corpse Baby, and with hard work, gradually cultivate it into a Netherworld Corpse body!

Originally, the martial artist refining this Netherworld Corpse body would possess it. However, it seemed that something went wrong during the refining process, and the martial artist was instead devoured by Chen You the Corpse Baby. Chen You appears to be a living person but is, in fact, a corpse transformed into a monster."

Ye Chen nodded. Even with a Netherworld Corpse body, ordinary martial artists’ divine souls can hardly bear the effects of absorbing such a massive amount of necrosis.

Only a creature like Chen You, born as a living corpse, could potentially accomplish this!

Ye Chen looked at Chen You, who had revealed his true form as a Corpse Baby, and said, "Am I worth such a grand scheme from you? As a Corpse Baby, that Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill shouldn’t have any use for you, right? Why did you trade it that day?"

Chen You let out a sharp ghostly laugh and said, "That pill indeed has no use for me, but it is useful for you living beings, isn’t it?

If you all ingest the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill and then refine it into a corpse, the Corpse’s power will increase. Originally, I had high hopes for this pill, but unfortunately, the result did not satisfy me.

As for why you?"
