Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2720 - 2719: Dracula!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Lin Dong struck down two additional Demon Emperors and a lone Demon King this round.
Upon drawing in the Metal Energy from their bodies, a faint, unseen wave silently emanated from the Five Elements Stele's location.
Lin Dong's position on the Five Elements Stele shifted once more, surging from seventh to sixth.
His total of slain Demon Emperors now hit twelve, a tally that left observers utterly stunned.
"How many days has it even passed? He took out two more Demon Emperors?"
"When did Demon Emperors turn so simple to spot? So straightforward to defeat?"
"Just three more needed to outdo Dracula of the Blood Clan, who's felled fifteen Demon Emperors and sits in fifth. Should he eliminate three extra Demon Emperors, he'll storm into the top five."
"What incredible velocity, absolutely beyond mortal limits! Who could've foreseen a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist managing this?"
"..."
Yet the deepest astonishment for all wasn't solely Lin Dong's climb in standing, but his capacity to take in Metal Energy. Doesn't that signify he holds a Four-element physique?
No such event has ever unfolded in recorded history. Even the most gifted titans generally command merely one or two elemental forces.
The peak achievement to date belongs to the Blood Monk, who holds the leading spot on the Five Elements Stele right now.
He boasts a Three Systems Physique!
Lin Dong has now eclipsed that, emerging as the pioneer Four-element physique within the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
Others may arise someday, but he's without doubt the initial one!
Those who vigilantly watch the Five Elements Stele, from mighty experts to everyday cultivators, all shot disbelieving stares.
Chatter ignited among them, and legends of Lin Dong swiftly propagated through the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
"This Lin Dong truly commands four elemental energies? Truly owns a Four-element physique? It utterly shatters every previous mark."
"It's downright unbelievable; the greater the number of elements in your Five Elements Physique, the vaster the scope of Five Elements energy harvestable from demon beasts. Something tells me he won't take long to seize the top spot!"
"The Extraterrestrial Battlefield's tomorrow looks poised to turn far more thrilling thanks to his rise."
"..."
Lin Dong's name, much like the breaking dawn's glow anew, sliced through the calm of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
From the moment his Five Elements Stele rank skyrocketed to sixth, bursting forth like bamboo splitting soil, the full expanse of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield quaked once again.
The elite figures clustered by the Five Elements Stele buzzed with conversations centered on him.
Some took things further, wagering bets on his progress.
"Come on, place your bets. Predict when Lin Dong will claim fifth. My guess: in three days, he'll vault from sixth straight to fifth. Anyone bold enough to wager against me? One billion US dollars on the line!"
"Down three Demon Emperors in three days? That seems far-fetched, doesn't it?"
"Heh, but hasn't he pulled it off already? What, you doubt it can happen again? Step up and bet if you're game."
"You're on—it's only one billion US dollars, right?"
"..."
A crowd of folks eagerly piled into the wagering.
And on this occasion, Lin Dong's breakthrough to sixth on the Five Elements Stele didn't just rouse the ambitious challengers to stir.
The established powerhouses lounging in their superior ranks now directed their sharp, watchful eyes as well.
Close to the Five Elements Stele, one silhouette lingered motionless, eyes bottomless like a void, riveted to the radiant rankings.
This was Dracula, the formidable Blood Clan powerhouse occupying fifth, originating from the Ancient European Country.
Dracula's visage was finely carved, yet it bore a strange iciness foreign to the mortal realm.
His complexion shone pale like untouched snow, as if sunlight had never graced it, while his intense eyes gleamed with crimson flickers, akin to two lustrous jewels blazing in shadows.
His mouth arched faintly, crafting a whimsical smirk, hinting at a sharp curiosity toward all things.
Dracula stood tall and imposing, clad in a lengthy ebony robe etched with golden motifs, emblems of the Blood Clan's refined might.
His digits stretched long and lithe, ends gently hooked, set to morph into razor talons that could shred any barrier. His overall aura projected an elusive mix of sophistication and threat, warding off any who might lock eyes with him.
Right then, his stare clung to the entry just beneath his own—Lin Dong—etched on the Five Elements Stele.
A potent fascination churned in his gaze.
He'd caught wind of Lin Dong's exploits and had marked him ages back, acknowledging this youngster's exceptional might and prospects.
He'd estimated the fellow could breach the top five on the Five Elements Stele inside a year.
He never dreamed the interval would be so brief—under a month—and Lin Dong's moniker would already trail so near his own, igniting a novel thrill of rivalry and zest.
"Intriguing, exceedingly intriguing," Dracula whispered, his inflection blending mirth with eager anticipation.
He grasped that the Five Elements Stele standings nearly paralleled the hierarchy of Heavenly Realm elites under the Secondary Ancestors across the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
It stood as the true measure of prowess!
Lin Dong's vault to sixth demanded no small accomplishment.
He eagerly awaited a clash with this youth, hungering for the fiery surge of combat.
Besides, clinging to a top five slot bestowed lavish yearly bounties from the Five Elements Stele.
He absolutely refused to let Lin Dong usurp it.
"This standing goes beyond mere prestige. It means gains, the Five Elements Stele prizes. I won't surrender this rank to you," A grin touched Dracula's ashen features as he muttered under his breath.
Afterward, Dracula's focus swung toward the Golden Spear Wilds region.
He understood that domain as a supreme forge for fighters, a sanctuary for demon beasts, and an optimal arena for pursuit and growth.
With a Dual System physique blending Metal and Wood elements, he could traverse it with utmost ease, like a fish gliding through water, stalking demon beasts, ingesting Metal Energy, and amplifying his abilities.
"Haven't hunted demon beasts in quite some time," Dracula uttered, his tone laced with reminiscence and yearning.
"Ideal moment to bag a few. And to encounter you too, Lin Dong," Dracula voiced, resolve and combative fervor threading his words.
His shape blurred into black lightning, hurtling without delay toward the Golden Spear Wilds.
Numerous onlookers by the Five Elements Stele caught sight of his vanishing form.
"That appears to be Dracula, fifth placer on the Five Elements Stele!"
"He just checked Lin Dong's updated rank. And his path leads exactly to the Golden Spear Wilds, where Lin Dong presently stalks demon beasts."
"Haha, what a twist. Dracula surely senses the rank squeeze. Terrified Lin Dong will oust him from top five, he's rushing to the Golden Spear Wilds himself."
"Unclear if he's bound there for demon beasts or for Lin Dong."
"Truly eager for their face-off."
"..."
All understood that Lin Dong's ascent on the Five Elements Stele would infuse the Extraterrestrial Battlefield with unprecedented vigor.
It's simple to envision the uproar as a rising contender invades the time-honored, unmoved top five of the Five Elements Stele.
