Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2714 - 2713: The Hunt Begins!

"Are you aware of any method to aid me in surpassing the 39th level mental power bottleneck?"

Lin Dong inquired of Pravina, his voice carrying a trace of eagerness.

At these words, Pravina's brow furrowed lightly; he thought briefly before responding, "Master, from what I've learned, overcoming a mental power bottleneck typically demands a chance encounter, perhaps an epiphany, trials in harsh conditions, or the aid of scarce heavenly treasures."

"I've come across tales of a peculiar item in the ice fields called the ’Soul Ice Crystal’, renowned for its astonishing ability to boost mental power. It assists mental power cultivators in shattering the 39th level bottleneck."

"Back in those times, our forebear, the mighty mental power expert, achieved his lofty mental power feats by ingesting the Soul Ice Crystal."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up with a spark of excitement upon hearing this.

Though he'd never laid eyes on the Soul Ice Crystal himself, its very name hinted at its exceptional qualities.

He resolved right then to seek out the Soul Ice Crystal once his present realm had been solidified.

"Then, Pravina, do you have knowledge of where one might locate the Soul Ice Crystal?" Lin Dong questioned.

Pravina reflected momentarily, then replied, "In the past, our ancestor, that formidable mental power expert, discovered it in the Extreme North."

"The Extreme North serves as the gateway and outlet to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. When you exit the Extraterrestrial Battlefield next, you could head to the Extreme North in pursuit."

"Mental power cultivators possess some affinity for the Soul Ice Crystal, and within a few kilometers, you might detect its exact whereabouts."

"Excellent, Pravina; this intel is immensely useful!" Lin Dong affirmed with a nod of approval, set on exploring the Extreme North after departing the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

He'd see if he could uncover that Soul Ice Crystal!

However, for the moment, he had no intention of departing the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

True, he'd lifted the Dead Soul Curse afflicting him and razed the Blood Soul Hall to settle the old grudge.

Those two primary objectives for entering the Extraterrestrial Battlefield were fulfilled, yet other tasks remained.

He intended to slay additional Extraterrestrial Demon Beasts here, drawing in their Five Elements Energy to amplify his power, pushing it to the Second Heaven's Peak prior to exit.

Moreover, he'd earlier vowed to the Heavenly Envoy of the Dragon Country War Department’s Extraterrestrial Battlefield Division to join the War God Ranking competition on behalf of the Dragon Country War Department.

To compete for standings in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield for the Dragon Country War Department’s Extraterrestrial Battlefield Division!

"By my reckoning of time, it's nearly upon us. Now, we'll head back to the Dragon Country’s Extraterrestrial Battlefield Division Base." Lin Dong resolved.

His attention shifted once more to Pravina.

Addressing Pravina, he stated, "Soon, our paths will diverge. I'll entrust you with a Divine Talisman; should I require contact, I'll activate it to reach you!"

"Naturally, if you must locate me, employ this Talisman to convey your message!"

With that, Lin Dong revealed a Divine Talisman in his grasp.

Known as a Communication God Talisman, this low-grade item offers no further utilities but excels in messaging, enabling voices to echo in the mind across planetary distances, anywhere, for instant reception by the recipient.

Pravina accepted it without delay.

Having settled these affairs, Lin Dong focused on Alya’s remains.

He recalled the bodies of Thor and his companions as well.

After a brief contemplation, Lin Dong commanded, "Dispose of these corpses discreetly. Ensure their demise stays hidden."

"Understood!" Pravina acknowledged with deference and promptly set about clearing the area.

In the meantime, Lin Dong took his leave and set off toward the Dragon Country War Department Extraterrestrial Battlefield Base.

This journey lacked the prior urgency and worry; instead, serenity and resolve filled his spirit.

The starry sky, ever pristine, with its shimmering lights, appeared to illuminate his path.

Though the road stretched far, Lin Dong traveled in company.

He mounted a demon beast freshly tamed.

A flying demon king boasting Gale Wings.

Matching an Earth Realm warrior's prowess among humans, yet it fell swiftly to Lin Dong, serving now as his temporary steed.

Astride it, Lin Dong crossed the Black Soil Plateau, pursuing other earth-aligned demon beasts.

He avoided the straight path to the War Department Base.

Rather, he aimed to loop through every zone of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield before arriving.

Presently on the Black Soil Plateau, the demon beasts here channeled ’Earth Energy’ from the Five Elements Energy in their attributes and essences.

Dust storms swept the plateau sporadically, bearing the raw, gritty essence of the ochre earth, assailing him, but they posed no barrier to his progress.

This realm brimmed with Earth Energy in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield; its every speck of dirt held the dense, ancient force that sustained myriad land-dwelling demon beasts.

Through the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, Lin Dong navigated this earth-natured domain effortlessly.

"This setting proves perfect for honing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique!" Lin Dong mused inwardly.

Just then, he unleashed the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, burrowing beneath the surface, attuned to nearby demon beasts.

Distinct from beasts elsewhere, those in this region sported tough, tawny hides or bore blood thick as congealed clay; their might and resilience stemmed from the Earth Energy gifted by the terrain.

Lin Dong's eyes pierced like a hawk's, scanning the deceptively uniform but hazardous expanse.

He sought not the common lesser demon beasts but the ruling demon kings of this domain, and rarer still, demon emperors.

As Lin Dong delved further into the plateau's core, the demon beasts thinned out, though those encountered radiated growing intensity.

Lin Dong recognized this as a sign of approaching a demon king's domain.

He advanced warily, leveraging the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique's camouflage to bury himself in the earth.

Thus, he evaded detection by any demon beasts!

At last, in a valley ringed by massive boulders, Lin Dong detected an aura of unmatched potency.

It blended earthen elements with regal authority, instilling an instinctive desire to yield.

"Perfect, here's the first demon king for today. A Level 8 Demon King in strength; you'll serve as my opening ’treat’!"

Lin Dong's lips curved in anticipation as he invoked the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, lurking below ground.

Abruptly, he launched his assault.

"Sword One!"

Accompanied by a sharp "whoosh~~", Lin Dong's sword flashed out, felling the Level 8 Demon King in a blur of motion.

Even in its final moments, the beast remained unaware of its slayer.
