Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2721 - 2720: 4-Star Demon Emperor Demon Flame Eagle

Lin Dong directed his attention back to the scene, standing amidst the expansive Golden Spear Wilds, his boots planted on the dry yellow turf, encircled by bushes rustling softly in the breeze, creating a stark yet lively vista.

Rays of sunlight pierced the thin veil of clouds, dappling his frame and bathing his determined features in a warm golden hue.

Lin Dong's gaze sharpened like that of a hawk, with the Eye of Insight engaged, meticulously surveying the area around him, his perception heightened to its utmost.

Indeed, the Golden Spear Wilds teemed with Demon Beasts, from the lowest ranks up to mighty Demon Kings, some concealed among the foliage, others wheeling overhead, yet beneath Lin Dong's penetrating stare that seemed to pierce through emptiness, no secrets remained.

He traversed the terrain with nimble, spectral grace, delivering strikes that were both accurate and fatal.

Every flash of brilliant Sword Light that cleaved the heavens caused Demon King-level creatures to plummet, their stares brimming with shock and terror.

Lin Dong's overwhelming prowess instilled hopelessness in these once-supreme beings of the Demon Beast realm.

Yet, as he felled increasing numbers of Demon Kings, an intense aura of menace started to infuse the atmosphere.

This aura emanated from a Four-Star Demon Emperor known as the Demon Flame Eagle.

It had been lounging in its aerie atop a far-off summit.

Detecting Lin Dong's scent of slaughter, its blood-red eyes instantly chilled with merciless intent.

The Demon Flame Eagle ascended swiftly, its vast wings extended like ominous storm fronts eclipsing the daylight, its form cloaked in furious ebony infernos.

These flames represented its arcane essence, as well as the emblem of its dominion over the lands nearby.

Adopting an imperious stance above all creatures, it hurtled toward Lin Dong, clearly regarding him as fresh quarry.

Though Lin Dong felt the looming threat drawing near, he refused to withdraw; rather, his fighting spirit ignited fiercely.

"To think it's a Four-Star Demon Emperor—truly, the Golden Spear Wilds serves as a haven for Demon Beasts," a spark of excitement lit up Lin Dong’s features.

Lin Dong previously had no experience facing a Four-Star Demon Emperor.

The mightiest Demon Emperor he had defeated was merely Three-Star.

Still, he held firm belief in his ability to engage a Four-Star Demon Emperor.

Moreover, this clash against the Four-Star Demon Emperor promised a prime chance to bolster his power and a vital gauge for evaluating his entire training achievements.

Drawing in a profound breath, he channeled his Inner Qi to its maximum within himself, bracing for the deadly showdown ahead.

In that instant, gales whipped across the Golden Spear Wilds with sudden fury, as though the skies and earth quaked in anticipation of the colossal conflict to come.

This arose from the Demon Flame Eagle beating its wings!

Lin Dong planted his stance solidly, the Long Sword gripped in his hand quivering faintly, its point aimed skyward—a bold affirmation of taking up the gauntlet, and his unquenchable thirst for triumph.

The Demon Flame Eagle circled overhead at a distance from Lin Dong, its enormous wings unfurled resembling twin brooding thunderheads, blotting out the heavens and plunging the ground cover into shadow.

Within those scarlet orbs, a chilling gleam danced, as if it could unravel every deception in existence.

"Human whelp, this territory belongs to me," the Demon Flame Eagle intoned in a deep, commanding timbre that resounded over the Golden Spear Wilds, "What foolhardiness empowers you to slaughter my Demon Clan upon my soil?"

Lin Dong's face stayed impassive, clutching the Yangxin Sword whose blade shimmered with a subtle emerald sheen—the culmination of his long years of practice, and his steadfast ally.

He responded steadily, "The blade I wield grants me that boldness."

At these words, a flicker of rage sparked in the Demon Flame Eagle's gaze.

It never dreamed that this youthful human could maintain such poise when confronted by its Four-Star Demon Emperor's questioning, showing not a shred of dread.

"Such hubris from a mere human boy!" the Demon Flame Eagle bellowed in fury, "Relying on just Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven power, how dare you act so brazen? I will consume your flesh and blood, forcing you to atone for your overconfidence and folly with your very life!"

No sooner had the Demon Flame Eagle spoken than its wings beat vigorously, causing the black flames encasing it to erupt violently, bursting forth like a erupting caldera, warping the nearby air with intense heat.

An overwhelming force emanated from its frame, causing the full expanse of the Golden Spear Wilds to shudder.

Witnessing this display, Lin Dong's resolve in his eyes intensified further.

He understood that confronting this Four-Star Demon Emperor demanded utmost vigilance from him.

Inhaling deeply once more, he pushed the Inner Qi circulating in his Dantian to its limits, while the Yangxin Sword in his grasp rang out with a clear chime, as if thrilled by the approaching fray.

"Come at me, Demon Flame Eagle!" Lin Dong bellowed, launching himself forward like a released bolt, the Yangxin Sword carving a radiant Sword Light aimed directly at the Demon Flame Eagle's vulnerable point.

The Demon Flame Eagle gave a disdainful huff, beating its wings to pull back several meters in a flash, while simultaneously exhaling a bellowing sphere of fire to intercept Lin Dong's assault.

But Lin Dong's Sword Light, akin to the first rays of morning piercing the gloom, sliced through the fiery barrier and pressed onward toward the Demon Flame Eagle.

In the space between Lin Dong and the Demon Flame Eagle, arcs of Sword Light tangled with bursts of flame, each impact unleashing thunderous explosions that rocked the entire wilderness.

A frosty glint shone in the Demon Flame Eagle's eyes as it parted its massive beak, unleashing a deluge of sinister and malevolent Dark Fire.

Unlike typical blazes, this fire bore a corrupting essence that consumed all illumination, as if drawn from the depths of the void—an utterly fearsome phenomenon.

"Human whelp, sample my Dark Fire!" the Demon Flame Eagle crowed victoriously, certain that this dread blaze, potent enough to shatter the Third Layer Heaven's Sky Boundary Saint Body in an instant, would incinerate Lin Dong to nothing.

The Dark Fire charged at Lin Dong resembling a wrathful ebony serpent, laden with ruinous might.

Wherever the blaze swept, the very atmosphere twisted in combustion, releasing piercing sizzles.

Yet, against these flames that sowed utter hopelessness, Lin Dong stood his ground without flinching.

A steadfast brilliance gleamed in his eyes, while an archaic and potent energy welled up inside him. At this juncture, without a moment's pause, he invoked the Reverse Scale Transformation of his Dragon Blood Holy Body.

Across Lin Dong’s flesh, gleaming golden Reverse Scales emerged, unyielding and icy like authentic Dragon Scales.

As the Reverse Scale Transformation fully activated, Lin Dong's aura exploded upward, his physique infused with an enigmatic vigor, rendering it impervious.

Upon contact with Lin Dong’s form, the Dark Fire hissed sharply, like it was scorching unyielding steel.

Even so, to the Demon Flame Eagle's astonishment, this inferno—sufficient to slay a Third Layer Sky Realm expert in moments—left no mark whatsoever on Lin Dong’s Dragon Blood Holy Body under the Reverse Scale Transformation.

"How... how can this be?!" the Demon Flame Eagle's eyes bulged in incredulity, rejecting this outcome entirely.

As a Four-Star Demon Emperor, its Dark Fire held a dreaded reputation within the Demon Clan as an unstoppable force—how could such a trifling Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven human possibly withstand it?
