Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2677 - 2676: Another Victory!

Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Tang Yun's attempts to poison the Third Heaven guardian beast puppet prove futile due to its ironclad resistance, leading to her defeat and teleportation from the Earth Dragon Treasure Vault, where she marvels at Lin Dong's even battle against a Fourth Heaven foe. The Crescent Wolf Emperor unleashes his full werewolf bloodline to overwhelm and destroy his Third Heaven puppet adversary through sheer physical endurance, claiming a First Heaven guardian puppet as reward before swiftly falling to a new Fourth Heaven challenger. Tian Kong, after prolonged combat, deploys his ultimate 'Heaven and Earth Splitting Slash' to shatter his Fourth Heaven puppet, securing a similar heavenly realm guardian puppet reward, as Lin Dong observes the intense confrontations unfolding around him.

Tian Kong's hand shook a bit as he took the valuable prize from beating the initial puppet. Though thrilled, he didn't fully unwind.

He understood the true test was only starting.

A deep growl echoed as the next puppet gradually appeared from nothingness, its form bulkier and wrapped in thicker spiritual energy. Obviously, this embodied the might of the fabled Fourth Heaven.

Gazing at this puppet that rivaled a tiny hill in size, an intense weight pressed on Tian Kong's chest like never before. He drew in a long breath, attempting to steady his inner chaos, yet the Fourth Heaven's burden felt like an unmovable peak, too overwhelming to dismiss.

'Bring it, show me the true horror of the Fourth Heaven's might,' Tian Kong muttered softly.

Even aware of possible defeat, he knew dodging wasn't his way. Facing the trial directly was the path to exceeding his limits and ascending to greater heights.

The clash ignited right away. Tian Kong unleashed his favored combat skill without delay. But facing the Fourth Heaven puppet, his strike dissolved like a bull into the ocean, failing to create the slightest disturbance. The puppet simply swept its limb, casually blocking his assault and striking back swiftly.

On the opening exchange, Tian Kong sensed a pressure beyond anything before. He poured everything into blocking, yet the overwhelming impact forced him back step after step, draining color from his face. Shock gripped him; a single action had him teetering between survival and doom.

During the follow-up strike, Tian Kong sought out the puppet's openings, but the Fourth Heaven puppet displayed no vulnerabilities whatsoever. Regardless of his assaults, he couldn't land real damage. Instead, the puppet's ripostes intensified, nearly choking the air from his lungs.

For the third assault, Tian Kong summoned every ounce of power, blending all his acquired combat arts into a desperate push. Yet against the sheer dominance of the Fourth Heaven, his attempt looked tiny and futile. The puppet flicked its hand lightly, demolishing his barrage and hurling him through the air.

Tian Kong crashed messily to the floor, a thin stream of blood trickling from his lip's edge. Eyes fixed on the unyielding puppet, bitterness and reluctance surged in his chest. He grasped the vast chasm separating him from the Fourth Heaven.

'Beaten...' Tian Kong whispered, a shadow of despair crossing his gaze.

Simultaneously, he glanced toward Lin Dong's spot and saw that Lin Dong was actually dominating the Fourth Heaven guardian beast puppet right then.

'This... is insanely overpowered,' Tian Kong sighed, as a flash of radiance enveloped him, pulling him from the trial realm.

As he exited, wonder about Lin Dong's confrontation filled his mind.

He wondered intensely if Lin Dong could claim victory in this bout!

Once outside, he joined the other four at the second Earth Dragon Treasure Vault's doorway.

Spotting his arrival, Yun Ruoxian promptly inquired, 'Tian Kong, what's the status of Lin Dong's fight with the Fourth Heaven guardian beast puppet?'

'He hasn't been beaten yet?' The Crescent Wolf Emperor blurted out in surprise.

Aidan looked puzzled, having emerged first and missed that Lin Dong had cleared two stages and now battled the Fourth Heaven guardian beast puppet.

From their discussion now, he learned Lin Dong remained inside, clashing with the Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

And he'd endured this long?

'Far from losing, when I left, Lin Dong appeared to hold the advantage,' Tian Kong replied.

Wow!

This news sparked a collective stir among them.

Tang Yun blurted, 'Lin Dong, is he genuinely skipping three levels?'

'A Heavenly Realm Martial Artist jumping three levels? That's horrifying!' The Crescent Wolf Emperor muttered.

All of them burned with curiosity about Lin Dong's potential success in the third round.

Regrettably, they lacked any chance to observe it.

They'd simply await Lin Dong's emergence to learn the outcome.

...

Within the second Earth Dragon Treasure Vault, the atmosphere thickened like stone, filled solely with weapon clashes and sporadic labored breaths.

Lin Dong positioned himself solo at the heart, encircled by a subtle crimson radiance, the sign of the Dragon Blood Holy Body's Reverse Scale Transformation, his every skin patch armored in thick dragon scales that gleamed with icy metallic sheen.

His foe, the Fourth Heaven guardian beast puppet, lacking any vital signs yet boasting immense strength and resilience, now faced suppression from Lin Dong, looking somewhat disheveled.

'With the Dragon Blood Holy Body's Reverse Scale Transformation active, I can match this Fourth Heaven guardian beast puppet,' Lin Dong growled, his gaze blazing like flames, his strikes escalating in ferocity.

'If I activate Limitless Transformation, couldn't I crush it solely through my physique?'

With a mental command, spiritual energy churned furiously inside Lin Dong, and his form, already in Reverse Scale mode, shifted further, releasing a deeper enigmatic energy, the onset of Physical Supreme Transformation.

His frame grew pliable like without bones, yet rigid as hammered steel. Every motion embodied nature's deepest principles, blending perfectly with the ambient space, making him hard to pin down.

'Way of the Ultimate, Physical Transformation!' Lin Dong intoned quietly, his silhouette surging forward abruptly, flitting spectrally around the puppet, each blow sharp and lethal.

His punches boomed with thunderous gusts, every hit appearing to rend the void, slamming straight into the puppet's critical spots.

Post Physical Supreme Transformation, the Eye of Insight sharpened completely. He pinpointed the guardian beast puppet's softer areas.

The guardian beast puppet held great power, but against Lin Dong's Physical Supreme Transformation, it came off as lumbering.

Its massive frame failed to match Lin Dong's velocity, reduced to mere reactive blocks, its sporadic retorts deftly countered by Lin Dong.

Lin Dong moved like a performer, gliding elegantly amid the fray while the puppet served as his ideal training foe.

Bang! A thunderous boom rang out as Lin Dong's fist crashed into the puppet's torso, caving it in with a shrill screech of bending metal.

Lin Dong capitalized instantly, his legs lashing out like dual lashes, pummeling the puppet's appendages nonstop, driving it back over and over.

'Shatter for me!' Lin Dong bellowed, channeling his full might into a single spot, unleashing a savage blow toward the puppet's cranium.

This strike packed his entire power and resolve, as though intent on cleaving apart the skies and ground.

Crack! At last, the guardian beast puppet's skull buckled under the devastating force, splitting with a wide fissure, then crumbling into a pile of twisted junk, utterly deprived of fighting capability.

Lin Dong remained rooted in place, breath not yet steady, but his eyes sparkled with triumphant glee.

'The third clash is victoriously claimed at last!' Lin Dong said to himself.
