Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1023 - 1021: How Could This Be? (2nd Update)

"Great Elder, you should go to the secret chamber alone. We won’t come along; otherwise, it will attract attention. The Beast Emperor and his group have already settled in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, and they might be observing us at any moment," Sheng Yingkun whispered cautiously. Details determine success or failure, so everything must be handled with care.

Yuu Tianyi nodded firmly. "Leave it to me!"

With that, Yuu Tianyi walked out of the hall and headed toward the secret chamber at the back mountain.

After Yuu Tianyi left, the crowd continued discussing some details as the seconds ticked away.

About the time of a stick of incense later.

Suddenly!!!

Inside the hall, almost everyone turned pale, their eyes widened in shock, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Some of the weaker Martial Cultivators, such as Xiao Zhen and Jun Luoying, nearly stumbled to the ground.

In the same instant.

"Hehehe..." A light and ethereal laugh echoed across the entire Supreme Mountain. Whether it was the Martial Cultivators within the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect or the billions surrounding the base of Supreme Mountain, all heard it.

The voice belonged to the princess—the Monster Beast Princess—Di Qiong.

"She... she... she broke through!" Sheng Yingkun stammered, his trembling voice laced with indescribable horror. "So powerful!"

Yes!

Incredibly powerful!

Her mere aura was suffocating, even though it wasn’t directly aimed at him and the distance was vast.

"She just arrived at the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, and now she’s breaking through again. This... just how monstrous is the Monster Beast Princess?" Star Master gritted his teeth, his voice filled with intense apprehension and fear.

Genius? They had seen geniuses before. After the Purple Spirit Sun Rising, the Star Palace had nurtured countless brilliant talents, with individuals like Helian Sha standing out as extraordinary. Yet, when compared to the Monster Beast Princess—

There was simply no comparison!

"Damn it! Too strong!" Xuu Chi rasped, his voice hoarse. "I have a feeling that if she wanted to kill me, all she’d need is a single glance..."

Yes!

Just a single glance.

That’s all it would take.

At that moment.

"Hahahahaha..."

No one could have expected it—none in their wildest imagination anticipated that—the laugh would continue.

This time, it wasn’t an ethereal laugh but a hearty, domineering, overwhelming laugh.

The voice belonged to none other than the Beast Emperor himself.

As his laughter erupted, the entire Supreme Mountain felt as though the air had been shredded, crushed into void. No one could breathe.

Inside the hall, Sheng Yingkun, Wan Tonghai, and the others almost knelt to the ground, desperately clenching their fists, activating their Mysterious Qi Protective Shields to withstand the immense pressure. Though they held on, they suffered immensely, their faces pale and twisted in agony.

The ordeal lasted only a few breaths. After those few breaths, the Beast Emperor’s laughter and aura subdued.

However, even those few breaths felt like an eternity—a torment of unbearable anguish—as if living through endless death and despair.

If Sheng Yingkun and the others were suffering so greatly, one could only imagine the fate of other Martial Cultivators within the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, as well as the billions who came to witness. Deaths, injuries, trembling in submission, and madness were rampant.

The Beast Emperor was incomprehensibly terrifying!!!

"Th-the Beast Emperor broke through too!" Zhang Danhe said, his voice trembling uncontrollably, infused with impossible terror and dread. "This breakthrough places the Beast Emperor at the Ninth Level Realm of Origin Domination!"

Inside the hall, a deafening silence prevailed—no one responded to Zhang Danhe’s statement.

Indeed!

The Beast Emperor had reached the Ninth Level Realm.

It was utterly despairing.

How could they possibly fight against him?

It seemed laughable.

Upon their arrival at the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, both Di Qing and Di Qiong—the father and daughter duo—achieved consecutive breakthroughs, delivering an astonishing display of power.

For a long time, the hall remained in a state of dead silence. Not a single person spoke.

Only faces painted with whiteness, fear, gloom, and hopelessness stared back.

Until.

Yuu Tianyi returned.

As soon as he entered, everyone turned toward him instantly, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation!

"Great Elder, where’s Su Chen?" Sheng Yingkun asked hurriedly.

"Sect Master, th-this... this..." Yuu Tianyi stammered, his face equally grim.

"Speak! Don’t hold back! Tell us—is Su Chen unwilling to come out of seclusion? Or is he insisting on a duel with Fierce Domain’s strongest?" Sheng Yingkun’s voice grew louder, his tone urgent. He was familiar with Su Chen—a Martial Fool. Su Chen, once in seclusion, was nearly impossible to pull out. Furthermore, Su Chen was arrogant to the core. For him to leave seclusion and head to Buddha Domain would be akin to an ambush, a breach of principles, avoiding a duel with Fierce Domain’s strongest. Su Chen certainly wouldn’t agree.

"No," Yuu Tianyi gritted his teeth, bracing himself. "The secret chamber... is empty. Su Chen isn’t there."

What?!

As soon as these words left Yuu Tianyi’s mouth.

The entire hall, including Sheng Yingkun, fell into stunned disbelief.

They never imagined it.

How could this happen?

A few breaths later.

Anger spread across the faces of many Martial Cultivators inside the hall!!!

"Damn it! Did Su Chen flee?" Elderly Hun Qing sneered coldly. "Hehe... Su Chen must have sensed their aura when the Beast Emperor and his group arrived at the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, so he escaped immediately, didn’t he? Such cleverness indeed."

"Did Young Master Su abandon the entire Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect and the entire Buddha Domain?" Star Master spoke coldly. "Let’s not forget—it was Su Chen himself who proposed the duel with Fierce Domain’s strongest. Nobody forced him; it was his idea! He considered himself invincible and insisted on this challenge!"

"F***!" Xuu Chi cursed aloud, pouring his fury and frustration into that single expletive.

"Brother Sheng, if Su Chen truly fled, then... then our previous assumptions and plans are invalid," Wan Tonghai sighed bitterly, laughing in self-mocking frustration. "We can only wait three days for the Beast Emperor’s wrath to bring a bloodbath upon Buddha Domain." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Great Elder, are you absolutely certain? Did you search thoroughly? Su Chen isn’t in the secret chamber?" Sheng Yingkun stared at Yuu Tianyi, his voice grave. Sheng Yingkun was confident in Su Chen’s character; Su Chen was definitely not someone who would back down. Even if the Beast Emperor and his group were overwhelming, Su Chen couldn’t possibly run away!

"Sect Master, I... I’m certain. I searched meticulously and left no spot unchecked. Su Chen was not inside the chamber."

Sheng Yingkun fell silent.

"If there’s no other option, in three days, we’ll have to fight to the death," Dong Shenxu said firmly. "There’s no alternative; everyone must prepare themselves for sacrifice."

——————

In the Falling Star Land.

Su Chen remained absorbed.

He was like a vast, insatiable sponge that could never be filled.

Within the Falling Star Land, there were at least a thousand fallen stars.

Though these stars were in a state of ruin, the Star Force they emitted was still colossal—a thousand stars combined was unimaginable.

Within Su Chen’s Divine Mansion, the Star Force had already begun to condense into droplets of liquid.

Drop by drop, they shimmered with vibrant colors, resembling precious gemstones.
