Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 986 - 984: Extremely Strange (3 Updates)

Although the West Gate lacks the grandeur and imposing style of the East Gate, it still stands tens of meters tall and several meters wide, constructed entirely of white stone bricks. Approaching the Stone Gate, one would feel an immensely ancient and oppressive aura, as if the gate was several thousand or tens of thousands of meters thick.

Su Chen took a deep breath. Harnessing the Three Forces Transformation, Divine Power Compression, and the Mysterious Beast Bone, he activated everything he had and gave the gate a fierce shove!!!

However.

It didn’t budge.

Not even a sound.

The entire West Gate was like a colossal mountain kicked by an ant—completely unmoved.

"So heavy!" Su Chen frowned. "It’s so heavy that even if my Qi Power multiplied a hundredfold, a thousandfold, it would still be useless. It seems there’s some sort of mechanism. Forcibly entering is absolutely impossible."

Confirming that there might be a mechanism in the West Gate before him, Su Chen began searching his memory, delving into everything he knew about the Divine Demon Clan.

Bit by bit, he combed through.

Su Chen displayed extreme patience.

Time trickled by, second by second.

Hours later, Su Chen let out a long breath: "It should be this..."

Stepping forward, his hands moved in a way that seemed random and chaotic, yet with each motion, there was a deliberate pattern as his palms struck the Stone Gate. From a distance, it looked as if Su Chen were performing some sort of ritual.

In truth, it wasn’t a ritual but a process known as "Blood Spotting."

What is Blood Spotting?

Using Divine Demon Blood as a guide, the blood is infused into pre-carved channels on the Stone Gate.

These blood channels, numbering over a thousand, are invisible to the naked eye yet undeniably present.

The sequence in which the Divine Demon Blood is infused must be absolutely correct. Otherwise, the gate remains shut.

This sequence is derived from the Divine Demon Clan’s comprehension of the stars, following the arrangement of the Star Array.

In summary, this Stone Gate can only be opened by the Divine Demon Clan. For other races, entry is as difficult as ascending to heaven—with no chance of success!

Despite not being a member of the Divine Demon Clan, Su Chen possessed their blood and the complete memory of one, making him one of the most unique individuals within the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

A long while passed.

Su Chen halted his actions.

As he stopped, the massive Stone Gate began glowing with tens of thousands of crimson lights, like threads of blood weaving, spreading, and extending across its surface. It was as if an artist painting with blood had begun his masterpiece—an extraordinary sight, visually stunning.

Several breaths later, the countless crimson lights quieted down. They had now formed a pattern—or rather, a totem—the totem of the Divine Demon Clan.

Su Chen took a deep, lingering look at the totem before pushing the gate once more.

This push.

"Creak!!!"

The gate opened, slowly but steadily.

As the gate opened, what greeted Su Chen was the scent of ancient time—the Divine Demon Emperor Tomb had remained sealed for at least several billion years. Evidently, no one had ever opened it during this time, and the tomb’s airtight environment had preserved its internal atmosphere from billions of years ago.

Beyond the heavy scent of time, what Su Chen saw as the gate swung open was a passage—dark and hollow, resembling an ominous path leading to the ends of Hell itself. Silent and terrifying, it felt as though stepping onto the path would lead directly to the Yellow Springs Hell.

Su Chen’s expression remained calm and emotionless. Without hesitation, he stepped in.

As soon as he entered, the previously pushed-open West Gate eerily began to close on its own, as though alive, slowly swinging shut. The bloody totem on the Stone Gate vanished completely.

Everything returned to its original state.

It was as if Su Chen had never come.

Tap, tap, tap...

At this moment, Su Chen walked through the pitch-black passage.

The sound of his footsteps echoed loudly.

His eyes roved across the walls on both sides.

The walls were rock surfaces etched with countless carvings.

The carvings depicted the ancient war between the Divine Demon Clan and the Emperor Demon Clan billions of years ago.

As Su Chen studied the carvings from start to finish, he felt as though he had personally witnessed that unparalleled ancient battle.

The passage extended approximately three thousand meters.

Su Chen moved slowly.

When he reached the end.

Before his eyes.

Was an astonishing sight!!!

Before him lay a vast lake. A bridge stretched across it.

Looking beyond that was a wall of rock.

In other words, the scene before him represented the end—the terminus of the entire Divine Demon Emperor Tomb.

It was extraordinarily strange.

No coffins, no relics, no burial goods, none of the expected artifacts.

Only a lake and a bridge. Everything else was pristine, as if it were swept clean daily, leaving nothing but dust—and more dust.

Yet, Su Chen felt certain that no one had ever set foot in this tomb before.

Standing before the lake, Su Chen squinted slightly.

The lake was immense, spanning the size of ten football fields.

The water in the lake was unbelievably clear, resembling purified water that revealed the bottom with crystal clarity.

The surface was eerily still, devoid of even the faintest ripples.

It was highly peculiar water.

From afar, Su Chen saw nothing within the lake—not even a blade of grass or a single fish. It was completely barren.

Then, using his Divine Soul, he conducted a meticulous search, yet still found nothing.

"Young boy Su, this lake is very odd," Jiuyou spoke, its voice tinged with seriousness. "Even I can’t see through it."

"It is indeed strange," Su Chen replied, stepping forward. Raising his hand, he scooped up some water.

"Is it truly just water?" Su Chen muttered to himself, his curiosity growing. "But if it’s truly water, why hasn’t it evaporated after billions of years? Such a long span of time should have dried this lake completely."

"This water is undoubtedly extraordinary. You’re now standing in the primary hall of this Divine Demon Emperor Tomb. It simply cannot be so straightforward," Jiuyou affirmed. "If it were so simple, they wouldn’t have used such elaborate mechanisms on the four great gates at the entrance."

"Memory is key!!!" Su Chen contemplated aloud before sitting cross-legged. "I need to thoroughly revisit the Divine Demon memories I inherited and see if I can glean any insights."

Following that.

Su Chen closed his eyes, becoming as still and lifeless as ancient stone, emitting no fluctuations of aura.

Time continued to pass.

Three days later.

Su Chen’s eyes opened, bursting with radiant light as though arrows of brilliance flew out.

"Young boy Su, any breakthroughs?"

"’Si Water as the source, bridgeheads as the eyes, fourfold Divine Demons, concentration forms the power,’" Su Chen spoke slowly.

"What does that mean?"

"These sixteen words describe the royal inheritance of the Divine Demon Clan! Furthermore, it is exclusive to the Imperial lineage of the clan!" Su Chen’s voice carried a newfound excitement. "Si Water... Si Water... If my deductions are correct, it refers to the water in this lake before us. Bridgeheads as the eyes—look at the bridge spanning the lake. The two bridgeheads roughly align with the position of a person’s eyes, if you imagined the entire hall as a face."
