Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2735 - 2734: Evenly Matched Forces!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Following the manifestation of Xue Chen’s Law of Heaven and Earth, Lin Dong did not remain idle.
He immediately summoned his own Heavenly Realm Buddha-Demon Dharma Body.
Within the confines of the Blood Prison Array, two towering figures stood ready, the atmosphere thickening until the very air felt stagnant.
On one side stood the Blood Clan’s Four-star Blood Emperor, Xue Chen, dwarfed by his massive Law of Heaven and Earth which loomed like a shifting mountain of gore, projecting a terrifying aura.
Opposite him, Lin Dong stood enveloped in a subtle glow of alternating gold and darkness.
His imposing Buddha-Demon Dharma Body slowly coalesced, creating a sharp contrast against the surrounding gloom.
"Haha, Lin Dong! As a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, you dare to confront me, a Four-star Blood Emperor, and even deploy a so-called Heavenly Realm Embodiment? It is utterly laughable!" Xue Chen’s laughter tore through the night sky, dripping with disdain.
As his Law of Heaven and Earth shifted, waves of blood-tinged energy erupted like a chaotic storm, seemingly poised to swallow Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body whole.
"Before my Four-star Blood Emperor’s Law of Heaven and Earth, your pathetic Heavenly Realm Embodiment is nothing but a joke—no more than an egg colliding with stone. You are simply rushing toward your own demise."
Xue Chen spoke with absolute confidence, interpreting Lin Dong’s actions as the final, desperate flailing of a man trapped in a crisis.
To challenge the Law of Heaven and Earth with mere Heavenly Realm Embodiment—was it anything other than a fool's errand?
Yet, despite the mockery and the mounting pressure, Lin Dong remained remarkably composed, a cold glint igniting in his eyes.
"Destroy!"
Responding to Xue Chen’s command, the Law of Heaven and Earth conjured a colossal blood-red palm. Imbued with world-shattering force, it plummeted toward Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body.
Even as this strike threatened to shatter the heavens, Lin Dong did not blink.
His Buddha-Demon Dharma Body, bathed in golden light, appeared increasingly sacred and untouchable. With palms pressed together in ancient prayer, the figure chanted sacred spells. A burst of gentle yet potent energy emanated from its core, crafting an invisible barrier that effectively neutralized the pressure exerted by the blood-soaked palm.
"Xue Chen, you are mistaken. A Heavenly Realm Embodiment is not necessarily powerless when confronting a Law of Heaven and Earth." Lin Dong’s voice was steady and resonant, each syllable carrying immense weight as it echoed across the space filled with blood Qi and Buddha’s radiance.
He had, in his past, utilized the Heavenly Realm Embodiment to dismantle a Law of Heaven and Earth.
Admittedly, against Xue Chen’s superior Four-star Blood Emperor’s Law of Heaven and Earth, the prospect of extinguishing him purely through the Embodiment seemed unrealistic.
However, the inability to destroy it entirely did not mean the Buddha-Demon Dharma Body lacked the power to hold its ground.
"Ignorant fool! I will demonstrate the true gulf between a Law of Heaven and Earth and your Heavenly Realm Embodiment right now!"
"Boom!"
Following his proclamation, Xue Chen’s strike descended with full force.
The massive blood-colored hand crashed down, seemingly intent on suppressing all creation.
However, the outcome was not as expected.
Xue Chen failed to shatter Lin Dong’s Heavenly Realm Embodiment. The attack impacted the gold-wreathed defense and was brought to a dead stop.
Never would he have imagined that a seemingly fragile Second Heaven Warrior could single-handedly repel the might of a Four-star Blood Emperor’s Law of Heaven and Earth.
His estimation of his opponent shifted instantaneously.
"Hmph, no matter. You shall not escape your fate today!" Xue Chen roared, reigniting his Law of Heaven and Earth.
This time, the assault was infused with the unique curse power of the Blood Clan, rendering the strike more elusive and malevolent, capable of gnawing at the very soul.
Fortunately for Lin Dong, he was not only a martial artist but also a master of Mental Power.
He countered the curse-based assault by reinforcing his defense with his spirit.
In an instant, his Buddha-Demon Dharma Body transformed into an impenetrable fortress. No matter how relentless Xue Chen’s onslaught became, the attacks could not breach the defenses rooted in such profound conviction and will.
Conversely, as the clash persisted, Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body seemed to feast on the energy of each attack. The golden brilliance intensified, as if some dormant, ancient power were awakening within its depths.
"Xue Chen, do you see? True power is not defined by one's cultivation realm, but by boundless potential. How can my Buddha-Demon Dharma Body be mentioned in the same breath as common Heavenly Realm Embodiments?"
"With this Second Heaven body, I shall show you what it means to push forward against insurmountable odds!"
Lin Dong’s voice was fueled by intense resolve. As he spoke, the Buddha-Demon Dharma Body radiated an unprecedented intensity. A surge of power capable of shaking the heavens erupted, meeting Xue Chen’s Law of Heaven and Earth in a final, decisive clash.
"Outstanding! I truly did not expect such resilience! It seems I am left with no choice but to deploy my ultimate trump cards." Xue Chen was stunned that a mere Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist could push him to such depths.
To think that he, a proud Four-star Blood Emperor of the Blood Clan, would be forced into using his hidden reserves by a mere Second Heaven practitioner.
This was not merely a defeat of strength; it was a violation of his pride. Should word reach his kin, he would become a laughingstock.
With a flicker of malice in his eyes, Xue Chen realized that the time for hesitation had passed.
He opted to unleash a forbidden trump card.
As he wove intricate seals, the sky appeared to tear asunder, governed by an invisible hand. Dark clouds gathered, thunder rattled the firmament, and an ancient, malevolent aura saturated the environment.
This was the true application of the Law of Heaven and Earth, tapping into the primordial forces of nature to manifest a forbidden technique—a skill mastered by only a select few within the Blood Clan.
Low, grating incantations echoed through the valley, each word pulsing with unnatural, forbidden energy.
As the ritual concluded, the Law of Heaven and Earth released a searing pillar of crimson light.
The beam descended with apocalyptic force, slamming directly into Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body.
"Law of Heaven and Earth: Blood Sky Waterfall!"
This was a Blood Prohibition Technique—a forbidden art capable of warping reality, pushing past the boundaries of conventional martial arts.
Infused with the resonance of the Law of Heaven and Earth, its potency transcended the comprehension of mortal martial artists.
Wherever the blood-red light swept, the very fabric of space corroded, bringing annihilation to all life in its wake.
Faced with this cataclysmic power, cracks finally appeared on Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body.
A gaping hole, as if pierced by a celestial blade, marred the once-immaculate golden armor.
While Lin Dong’s complexion grew deathly pale and a trickle of blood escaped his lips, his eyes remained devoid of retreat.
"The union of Buddha and Demon—infinite vitality." Lin Dong whispered. The secret of the Buddha-Demon Dharma Body lay in its miraculous ability to restore itself.
As long as his core remained intact and his Inner Qi was sufficient, no injury was too severe to be mended in a heartbeat.
Just as the shockwaves of the Blood Prohibition Technique flickered out, Xue Chen watched in sheer horror as Lin Dong’s Buddha-Demon Dharma Body began its slow, inevitable mending.
The fractured golden light was pulled back together by unseen forces, the gaping wound sealing itself rapidly, until both the construct and Lin Dong himself were whole once more.
"This... how is this possible?" Xue Chen stared, mouth agape, never having witnessed such a bizarre, indomitable regenerative power.
What terrifying vitality!
Lin Dong opened his eyes slowly, a cold resolve flickering within them, and stated quietly: "Xue Chen, our battle is merely beginning."
