Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2717 - 2716: The Top Five

"Lin Tian, your ambitions reach so high. It's no surprise you've reached such heights today." Admiration filled the Dragon Country Warrior.

All of a sudden, a movement stirred in Lin Dong's heart. Right now, he held the eighth position.

But he refused to grow arrogant over it. Instead, he asked curiously about the leading five on the Five Elements Stele.

"Who are the top five? How many demon beasts did they slay?" Lin Dong questioned the man.

"Those in the top five stand as legends of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield." Awe shone in the Dragon Country Warrior's eyes.

Next, he listed them out:

"Number one is the Extraterrestrial Battlefield's Kill God, the White-clothed Blood Monk. Twenty-eight Demon Emperors and sixty-three Demon Kings fell to him, making him a real terror for all."

"In second place sits Macaron from the Dark Family. Mysterious in his ways and brutal in his tactics, yet his power matches it all, with twenty-four Demon Emperors and fifty-eight Demon Kings slain."

"Third is Lei of the Lightning Family. No one rivals his swiftness, and his sword skills work wonders, accounting for eighteen Demon Emperors and forty-four Demon Kings killed."

"Fourth comes Tian Sha from the Tian Family. He treads the Path of Slaughter as a cultivator, his swordplay savage and deadly, having taken down seventeen Demon Emperors and thirty-seven Demon Kings."

"The fifth spot belongs to Dracula of the Blood Clan out of the Ancient European Country. With his half-dead form, his might proves immense, having cut down fifteen Demon Emperors and thirty-three Demon Kings."

Upon hearing these details, Lin Dong gave a small nod.

"Fifth place means fifteen Demon Emperors slain. I've only got eight under my belt, so I'm short by seven. On Demon Kings, I lag way behind too; looks like I need to push harder." Lin Dong remarked.

Once he parted ways with the Dragon Country Warrior, Lin Dong pressed forward, making his way to the Black Soil Plateau for more demon beast hunts.

Over the next two days, Lin Dong settled into a rhythm full of tension and satisfaction.

He roamed through the many regions of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, managing to take out two formidable Demon Emperors using his sharp senses and exceptional fighting prowess.

One turned out to be a Three-star Demon Emperor, the other a Two-star one.

Lin Dong even dispatched the Two-star Demon Emperor by manipulating a puppet.

As he felled these Demon Emperors, Lin Dong slowly uncovered the core of fighting demon beasts, each triumph enhancing his grasp on true power.

At the same time, his mastery over puppet control grew sharper.

All the while, he kept pursuing Demon Kings without pause. After downing the most recent one, his kill count for them silently climbed to twenty-eight.

Such a figure represents a towering achievement that eludes most martial artists, yet to Lin Dong, it marks merely a minor step toward ultimate supremacy.

His position on the Five Elements Stele highlights Lin Dong's rising might, and through his persistent drive, his standing shifted once more, propelling him up to seventh!

This rise not only underscores his expanding presence in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield but also draws him nearer to entering the top five.

"I've heard Golden Spear Wilds holds the densest population of demon beasts, so let's move there next for some hunting."

In the Black Soil Plateau, spotting signs of Demon Emperors or Demon Kings grew ever tougher for Lin Dong.

Thus, he resolved to venture into the Golden Spear Wilds, one of the five key zones in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Driven by this sense of glory and duty, Lin Dong, using the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, reached the subsequent area of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield—the Golden Spear Wilds—in under a day.

Vast grasslands stretch endlessly here, where echoes of golden spears and iron steeds seem to recall battles from ages past.

Yet, danger lurks endlessly under that scenic surface.

As the zone with the highest concentration of demon beasts among the five main sections of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the Golden Spear Wilds brims with peril as expected.

In this place, the sky shifts from peaceful azure to being ripped open by abrupt dark rifts, looking like portals to foreign realms, and getting trapped in them could doom even a Heavenly Realm expert.

Lin Dong moved cautiously over the grassland, each footfall laced with caution since he realized any spot could hide a fatal danger.

Beyond the dark rifts, the Golden Spear Wilds featured numerous zones labeled as Forbidden Places, typically harboring even scarier hidden perils.

Tales say that venturing into these restricted zones forces even top-tier martial artists into desperate bids for safety, often barely dodging demise.

Though curiosity tugged at him inside, and he could indeed slip away from a Secondary Ancestor if needed, Lin Dong recognized the value of knowing his bounds.

He opted to steer clear of those Forbidden Places, pushing further into the grassland in search of prey.

The Demon Emperors and Demon Kings lurking deep within the grassland!

Under the expansive night sky of the Golden Spear Wilds, Lin Dong positioned himself as a soft wind swayed the grasses like rolling waves, almost as though the world itself paused in anticipation of the brewing tempest.

His eyes cut through the darkness, drawing on the strange ability of the Eye of Insight to slice past veils of fog and fix on a cave nearby that appeared plain yet brimmed with hazard.

That cave served as the lair for three demon beasts, an encounter Lin Dong hadn't foreseen on his path.

Within the cave, faint glows from fluorescent rocks painted an eerie blue light, revealing the enormous shapes of three lion-resembling demon beasts.

Two stood as Three-star Demon Emperors, powerful and regal, radiating a subtle demonic energy, their eyes beaming with unbreakable dignity.

The Nine-Star Demon King, though a bit less in size, pulsed with fiercer demonic essence waves, clearly on the verge of breaking through to a superior level.

They huddled close, their looks blending family affection with a cold murderous vibe aimed at the outsider.

The moment Lin Dong's figure showed at the cave's mouth, the peace broke in an instant.

The Mother Demon Emperor's voice, biting like frozen shards, sliced through the night and struck at Lin Dong's core: "Excellent, Human Martial Artist. Your coming will make the perfect sacrifice for my offspring's breakthrough."

Her statement brimmed with unshakeable resolve, as though she already held Lin Dong's destiny in her claws.

Facing this abrupt threat, Lin Dong displayed not a trace of fear.

He knew full well that against a vast gap in power, showing panic served no purpose.

Rather, his stare grew firmer. Even as a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, the aura he released right then matched theirs without falling short.

"Hmph, seeing me as easy game—maybe you're too sure of yourselves." Lin Dong scoffed, steady as ever, while an invisible force began to spread through the air around them.

He'd clashed with a Secondary Ancestor before; true, he didn't win, but he got away unscathed. So why dread these three demon beasts?

Right then, he called forth three puppets.

These three puppets, boasting powers of First Heaven, Second Heaven, and Third Heaven in turn, aligned themselves neatly.

Lin Dong took command of all three at once, sending them forward against the demon beasts.
