The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1364 - Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 Huang Xiaolong Takes Action

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Huang Xiaolong Takes Action! Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Huang Xiaolong Takes Action! The Ninth Princess of the Dragon King was also about to embark on her journey of destiny!

A mere hundred steps represented her future rise and fall, honor and disgrace, whether her luck would be flourishing or declining.

A hundred steps, walking through a lifetime!

Huang Xiaolong was skilled in divination and clairvoyance, but even with one glance, he found it difficult to see through the Ninth Princess’s future.

The reason was simple; the Ninth Princess was not an ordinary being, but a top-notch powerhouse in the universe, with the bloodline of the Dragon King. Such powerful beings could almost shield their fate from prying eyes!

Of course, if Huang Xiaolong studied carefully for ten days and a half months, he could discern some hints, but instant insight was impossible.

“Heh–this old man of destiny, I wonder if he is bluffing–” Huang Xiaolong thought with a slight smile in his heart.

However, standing on this river-like pathway leading to the stairs, one indeed could feel the taste of the long river of time, stretching perpetually through countless years, and the ups and downs of fate.

Utterly solemn, demanding reverence from all.

Even Immortal Emperors, Demon Kings, and Dragon Kings, standing on the path of destiny, felt their own insignificance, even their lowliness deep inside!

At this moment, the Ninth Princess, somewhat nervous, struck the die of fate with her thoughts.

Rattle rattle–rattle rattle–

The die spun rapidly.

Finally–

3 points!

“Please walk forward three steps,” the voice of the old man of destiny was extremely deep.

“Eh–only three steps…” The Ninth Princess couldn’t help looking at her brother, the Third Crown Prince. He had already walked 15 steps.

Once her bindings were undone, the Ninth Princess also treaded three steps along the path of fate.

Her feet had barely touched down–

Boom–!!!

Abruptly, beneath the Ninth Princess’s feet, myriad streams of rosy light surged upward, surrounded by layers of auspicious vapor, and scattered blossoms drifted in profusion, creating a harmonious scene.

“What’s going on here?” The Ninth Princess was astonished.

Following that, a pure treasure light converged directly above the Ninth Princess’s head.

“An Immortal Artifact has appeared!” The Sword Immortal Emperor roared.

At that time, that deep and ancient voice echoed out of nowhere–

“Lucky indeed, a heavenly gifted opportunity, receiving a supreme Immortal Artifact.”

No sooner had the voice faded away, an Immortal Artifact armor, flickering with a hazy light, descended slowly from above the Ninth Princess’s head.

“Ah?” The Ninth Princess was completely stunned.

A high-quality Immortal Artifact armor floated before the Ninth Princess.

“Good stuff! Good stuff! This Immortal Artifact armor can withstand many full-force attacks from an Immortal Emperor!” Purple Flame Immortal Emperor blurted out.

“Heh–congratulations, Treasure Hunter, though you could not continue forward, your future luck is still quite good, with many opportunities ahead. This supreme Immortal Artifact armor, take it,” the old man of destiny said with an enigmatic smile.

Thereupon, the Ninth Princess collected the armor and smiled in relief. “Not bad at all.”

“Well, Treasure Hunter, take a short rest, and wait for the next round,” the old man of destiny nodded and then announced loudly, “Next!”

Both the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess had completed their first steps.

They had not met with any punishment or disaster. This indicated that their luck was rather good.

This gave the other Treasure Hunters a glimmer of confidence!

Next up was a Profound Immortal who started their journey.

He was quite an advanced Profound Immortal, a 9th level one.

“Sigh–back in the Immortal Realm, I also had my fortune told–” The 9th level Profound Immortal said determinedly, “That fortune-telling expert once prophesied that my future would be without major disasters. Moreover, it was destined that I would become an Immortal Emperor.”

Having said this, the 9th level Profound Immortal touched the die of destiny with his thoughts.

Rattle rattle–rattle rattle–

4 points!

He took a deep breath as his binds fell away, raised his head high, and strode forward four steps!

Unexpectedly–

His feet had barely touched down!

A dark light surged from beneath his feet!

That deep and old voice descended from the sky, cold and merciless. “Before long, luck will plummet to the lowest, doomed to die young.”

“What?” The 9th level Profound Immortal doubted his own ears!

In the next second–

Boom–!

A cold gleam ripped through the void, winding like a dragon or serpent, striking the 9th level Profound Immortal’s head and body.

His sturdy Immortal body melted away like ice under the scorching sun!

First, his skin turned into pus, revealing the bloody flesh beneath.

His features, distorted by extreme pain, began to twist!

But he couldn’t move an inch, completely unable to evade.

Even his immense immortal power was restrained, unable to be activated!

“Ah–!”

The 9th level Profound Immortal let out a heart-wrenching howl.

“No! Impossible! How could my future–I refuse to accept this! Ah–! I won’t accept it! I’m not satisfied! Ah–!”

After a brief moment of screaming, the 9th level Profound Immortal turned to ashes.

He perished!

Spirit and soul extinguished!

Completely wiped out!

The path of destiny beneath his feet also dissipated along with it.

“How could this happen!” the Sword Immortal Emperor bellowed in panic.

The other Treasure Hunters, each one trembling with fear, directed their discontent and even some hateful glances toward the Elder of Destiny.

Huang Xiaolong remained nonchalant.

“You! You!” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor’s anger blazed furiously.

At this moment, the Elder of Destiny’s face wore no expression, no sympathy, no compassion, and no sense of pity or regret.

“Respected Treasure Hunters, there is no need to be so,” the Elder of Destiny spoke slowly in his signature emotionless tone. “It was not I who caused that Treasure Hunter’s demise, but rather–destiny. That was his fate. It was destined that he should die young, and no one could save him. That was his lot. It’s just that the path of destiny brought about his untimely death.”

“Roar~~!” The Sword Immortal Emperor roared again.

However, all the Treasure Hunters were bound, and even if they wanted to immediately attack the Elder of Destiny, they were powerlessly incapable.

“Fellow Treasure Hunters, please be a bit quieter and remain calm. Do not attempt to defy destiny. In the long river of destiny, every living being is but a tiny wave, nothing more,” the Elder of Destiny said with a smile. “All right, next.”

Silence!

The Treasure Hunters all fell somewhat silent!

The Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess had, it seemed, set things off on the right foot.

A winning start!

This had actually unconsciously relaxed the vigilance of the Treasure Hunters!

However, the death of that Level 9 Profound Immortal tightened the previously relaxed heartstrings of the Treasure Hunters, even nearly to the point of snapping!

To be silently and abruptly eradicated without any chance for resistance, only to passively accept–was utterly suffocating! It was really too suffocating!

Like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!

“My fellow Treasure Hunters, please refrain from wasting time. Otherwise, the path of destiny may fracture, and then, you will encounter eradication–as if digging your own graves,” urged the Elder of Destiny calmly and steadily.

There was no other way!

Not moving on meant certain death!

Might as well take the chance to see what fate had in store for one’s future!

Next up, in fourth place, was the Demon King Kui!

“Hmph! I do not believe in such destiny! Besides, I am a pure-blooded great demon in the Demon Race, wielding power! How could I possibly die young?” The Demon King Kui’s face took on a fierce and belligerent hue and his bloodthirsty and wild nature was stirred up.

Immediately, he slammed into the dice of destiny.

Clatter, clatter~~

To his surprise, he rolled a six!

“Oh? Six points? My fate should be good, right?” A sudden joy rose in the heart of the Demon King Kui.

One must know that the highest number on these dice was six.

Rolling a six, if it were a bet on dice, meant that the Demon King Kui had won.

Moreover, he could move forward six steps!

With that, the Demon King Kui relaxed all over and walked forward six steps.

The moment his foot fell–

Boom~~~!

A profound beam of light burst forth!

The deep and ancient voice announced immediately–“Though the future is fraught with misfortune, death is not certain, the prospect of surviving the tribulation remains unpredictable~~~”

“What? A future fraught with misfortune?” The Demon King Kui was somewhat baffled. “I’ve rolled a six, so how could there be a problem with my future?”

In the blink of an eye, a sky-blue heavenly fire descended, striking precisely on the Demon King Kui’s head, swiftly enveloping his entire body.

Crackling as it burned!

However, more fortunate than the previously fallen Level 9 Profound Immortal, the Demon King Kui at least regained his full strength and was not directly incinerated by the heavenly fire.

“Roar~~~~~!! It is impossible to burn me to death! I will not just sit here and wait for death! I do not accept this!” The Demon King Kui, with his demonic power condensed and exploding, resisted the burning of the sky-blue fire.

His body emitted trails of green smoke, his facial features shifting as if in immense pain.

Torture!

Utter torture!

“Uh~~ He won’t die right away. Demon King Kui, you must persevere; your destiny is at least in your own hands. Do not give up,” Huang Xiaolong murmured.

Listening to the Demon King Kui’s miserable howls, the Treasure Hunters felt their scalps tingle.

“Good, moving on, the fifth one,” the Elder of Destiny said in a flat tone.

And next in line behind the Demon King Kui was–Huang Xiaolong!

“Oh, it’s my turn,” murmured Huang Xiaolong.

“Brother-in-law! You’ll be fine! You have a good fate!” the Ninth Princess called out anxiously.

Huang Xiaolong’s slaves also hastened to shout–

“Master, your fortune is like a rainbow, you are an outstanding being in the universe! You will certainly face no disasters or difficulties!”

“Master, you enjoy immense blessings!”

“Master, any calamities you face in this life, you can surely turn them into blessings!”

…

“Aha haha~~ I’ll take those good wishes,” Huang Xiaolong said with a laugh.

He was very open-minded.

Directly gathering his thoughts, he struck the dice!

Clatter, clatter~~~ Clatter, clatter~~~
