Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2727 - 2726: Five Elements Physique
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Lin Dong ventured into the Sky Cloud Mountain Range, quickly reaching its innermost regions.
The stone path under his feet slowly transitioned into meandering woodland routes, a subtle mist enveloping the area, evoking the sensation of stepping into an timeless and enigmatic immortal domain.
Rays of sunlight pierced the thick foliage above, casting mottled patterns of light on the earth below, infusing this serene woodland with an aura of enigma.
While he was lost in this uncommon peacefulness, a peculiar disturbance rippled through the atmosphere, accompanied by a crisp yet cool aura that crept up stealthily.
Lin Dong's face grew stern, and he instantly sharpened his senses, aware that any irregularity in these mountains might signal the proximity of a formidable demonic creature.
Before long, a colossal demonic beast materialized from the haze, its gaze resembling profound icy abysses, glowing with a spectral azure hue, encircled by softly swirling Water Elements, as though it personified the might of natural forces.
This creature was a Water-type Two-Star Demon Emperor, exuding formidable pressure yet seeming somewhat green to Lin Dong's discerning eye.
"Hmph, a mere Two-Star Demon Emperor thinks it can bar my way." Lin Dong scoffed in his mind, his Inner Qi beginning to flow steadily inside him, while a subtle golden glow enveloped his figure.
Sensing Lin Dong's exceptional nature, the Demon Emperor emitted a deep growl
and then blurred into an azure blur, surging forward with a raging torrent aimed at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong's body nimbly sprang upward, effortlessly dodging the assault, as his right arm swept out, calling forth the Yangxin Sword.
The blade's point brushed the soil lightly, immediately unleashing waves of spiritual energy that spread outwards.
"Water Sword Intent!" Lin Dong uttered in a low voice, causing the scattering spiritual waves to abruptly gather, morphing into scores of illusory Water Swords that whirled in the sky, weaving a dense Sword Net that hurtled toward the Demon Emperor.
Confronted by this abrupt onslaught, the Demon Emperor frantically summoned the encircling Water Elements for protection, yet against Lin Dong's overwhelming might, every effort proved pointless.
The Water Swords descended like a downpour, breaching its barriers and inflicting grievous injuries.
A wail of desperation escaped the Demon Emperor as its form faltered, and at last, with a resounding crash, its enormous frame collapsed, while Lin Dong's sword tip rested gently on the ground, restoring calm.
Though the clash was brief, it sufficiently demonstrated that Lin Dong's present power surpassed his former capabilities by a wide margin.
Able to slay a Two-Star Demon Emperor instantly with just one Sword Intent!
He glanced at the defeated Demon Emperor lying there, his heart unmoved.
Still, he held great anticipation for the possibility of absorbing Water Energy next.
"Water Energy... Should I manage to take it in, I'll be the pioneer of a Five Elements Physique!" Lin Dong mused internally, his eyes fixed on the Demon Emperor's fading form, yearning for a wondrous occurrence.
At that instant, a luminous azure sphere emerged from the Demon Emperor's core, apparently brimming with boundless vitality and life essence; it was the Water Energy of the Five Elements Energy.
Spotting this, Lin Dong's face lit up with joy, and he promptly invoked his exclusive Nine Shift Longevity technique before cautiously nearing the azure sphere.
Under the guidance of his spiritual force, the sphere appeared drawn forth, drifting gradually toward Lin Dong's hand, where it dissolved into a soothing and refined energy that coursed through his Meridians, ultimately merging at the heart of his Dantian.
The entire absorption unfolded without discomfort or hindrance, as though it were entirely instinctive and effortless.
Once the Water Energy had completely blended with Lin Dong's being, a surge of unmatched strength welled up inside him, sharpening his awareness of the world around.
In that moment, Lin Dong realized with astonishment that five vibrant energy spheres had manifested within: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, representing the Five Elements Energy.
These forces intertwined and fused inside him, creating a profound sense of unity and equilibrium.
"I... I truly absorbed the Water Energy! This signifies I possess a genuine Five Elements Physique!" Lin Dong whispered, overwhelmed by boundless elation.
He understood full well that the Extraterrestrial Battlefield teemed with diverse demonic beasts, each wielding distinct elemental abilities.
Thanks to his Five Elements Physique, in principle, he could draw in and harness the Five Elements Energy from these beasts to boost his cultivation progress.
"This... this implies my prowess on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield will be unprecedented!" Even Lin Dong marveled at his innate aptitude.
As the potent Water Energy gradually wove into his Meridians, aligning with his prior strengths, off in the distance, the Five Elements Stele reacted, its facade shimmering with brilliant radiance, the five hues blending before culminating in a brilliant beam that soared skyward.
This unexpected spectacle immediately drew the focus of all on the battlefield, causing even the most intense combatants to halt, their eyes wide with disbelief and wonder.
"Look over there, what's happening?" A middle-aged warrior clad in ornate armor, gripping a Sword, hovered airborne, his tone quivering with surprise as he stared at the gleaming pillar of light.
"The Five Elements Stele... From time immemorial, only bearers of the Five Elements Physique can provoke such a celestial event." At his side, an elderly figure with flowing white locks, eyes gleaming with insight, spoke in a voice laced with reverence and eagerness. "Lin Dong—this name will etch itself as an everlasting saga on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield starting now."
"For as long as the Extraterrestrial Battlefield endures and the Five Elements Stele stands, his saga will live on!"
Amid the throng, murmurs erupted, interspersed with amazed outbursts.
"Five Elements Physique—a mythic body said to assimilate and wield the Power of the Five Elements all at once, excelling in attack or guard in ways beyond the reach of common folk."
"Even more terrifying, cultivators of the Five Elements Physique, at higher realms, can trigger the cataclysmic World-Destroying Five Elements Big Array."
"Furthermore, legend holds that upon awakening, those with Five Elements Physique receive a divine boon, a genuine marvel. Who knows what gift awaits Lin Dong?"
As the conversation grew more intricate, all eyes turned toward Lin Dong, even though he was absent from the scene.
At that time, Lin Dong remained deep in the Sky Cloud Mountain Range, utterly alone.
He shut his eyes, concentrating intently, sensing the extraordinary might coursing through him.
The Water Energy circulated within, subtly harmonizing with Metal, Wood, Fire, and Earth energies, as if his very cells were celebrating the arrival of this fresh force.
Abruptly, a gentle and arcane energy emanated from his Dantian, swiftly permeating his entire form—a singular boon reserved for those of the Five Elements Physique: the Five Elements Origin Heart.
This Origin Heart, encapsulating the core of Five Elements power, permits swift replenishment of Five Elements forces anytime, and in dire straits, it can tap into ambient Five Elements to briefly exceed one's boundaries.
Above all, it grants Lin Dong access to the fundamental essence of the Five Elements.
"The Five Elements Origin—this... this lets me grasp Sword two!" Lin Dong's Wordless Sword Art had stalled since mastering 'Sword one'.
On numerous occasions, he attempted to decipher 'Sword two', yet clues eluded him.
Now, empowered by the 'Five Elements Origin Heart', upon connecting with the Five Elements' essence, enlightenment dawned.
"Sword two ties to the Five Elements! The moment is ripe!" With this thought, Lin Dong sealed his eyes and began delving into the comprehension of Sword two in earnest!
