Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2794 - 2793: War God Token!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
The instant Lin Dong, Tian Sha, and War God Hei Long entered the Land of Five Elements, the grandest showdown of this extraterrestrial battlefield kicked off for real.
This enigmatic ancient realm, brimming with the supreme essence of the Five Elements, serves as both a brutal trial of the competitors' power and smarts, and a golden chance for breakthroughs.
Maybe your rival outmatched you in strength before stepping into the War God Competition. Yet, with a stroke of luck inside, you could emerge stronger than them afterward.
Such twists might propel your future successes far beyond theirs. Possibilities like this abound here.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"
With a subtle quiver rippling through the void, War Gods from nations worldwide surged past the barrier, steered by unseen forces, landing across the vast expanse of the Land of Five Elements.
More than two hundred banners soared amid the blend of illusion and truth in the skies, embodying the pride and dreams of their homelands. Over six hundred warriors clad in diverse combat gear set forth on this perilous adventure, fueled by unyielding faith in triumph.
Upon arrival in the Land of Five Elements battlefield, positions scattered randomly for all.
Lin Dong's eyes fluttered open to reveal a verdant thicket of forest, where sunbeams pierced the heavy foliage, sprinkling mottled patterns of light and shade below.
Exotic blooms and foliage surrounded him, punctuated by distant beastly snarls, while the atmosphere carried the crisp aroma of soil and greenery.
He swiftly adjusted to the surroundings, mind flashing back to their prior team plan: the key mission was locating his two teammates, uniting forces, and tackling the Land of Five Elements' trials as one.
From his belt, he drew a softly luminous token—the "War God Token."
Crafted from some exotic alloy, this token bore intricate runes etched around its borders, centered by a softly pulsing gem, a high-tech marvel from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm.
A gentle tap on the gem by Lin Dong summoned a basic map onto the token's face, marked by two blinking points showing War God Hei Long and Tian Sha's locations.
Despite the vast distances between them, this instant tracking and comms feature offered huge aid to their coordination.
Besides, the War God Token held many more capabilities.
Whenever Lin Dong felled a demon beast or seized its crystal core from fellow competitors, the token's counters would refresh on their own, logging his feats.
Not just displayed live on the token, this info beamed out via the Alliance of Heavenly Realm's advanced tech, letting national Heavenly Envoys and War Department observers catch every War God's epic feats.
Live standings for their countries appeared too!
Beyond showcasing individual might, it mirrored a nation's prestige. Each tally climb stirred hearts across the masses.
Lin Dong understood perfectly: the War God Token wasn't merely a contest tool but a vital link binding him to allies and homeland.
Amid the Land of Five Elements' perils and mysteries, it stood as their prime ally, lighting their path and etching their triumphs.
Right as Lin Dong geared up to track the War God Token's signal toward Tian Sha, a guttural roar shattered the woodland peace.
From the gloom slunk a colossal demon beast, its gaze alight with predatory hunger, locking onto Lin Dong as fresh quarry.
Sunrays danced through the leafy roof, painting the earth in speckled glows, when abruptly a golden flash erupted.
Then, a hulking demon beast sheathed in golden scales bounded from concealment.
Flame-like eyes blazed with craving for the hunt. It was the Golden Scale Demon King, a frequent menace in the Land of Five Elements.
Lin Dong's lips curved into a faint grin at the Golden Scale Demon King's arrival, murmuring softly, "Is this the Land of Five Elements’ welcome gift for me?"
"Fine then, since it's shown up, time to take it down."
Powerful as the Golden Scale Demon King might be, to Lin Dong it ranked as just a minor welcome trial from the Land of Five Elements.
A being of this caliber fell effortlessly to his blade.
Standing stock-still, Lin Dong raised his right hand casually, summoning a longsword agleam with icy sheen into his grasp. This was the "Yangxin Sword," forged from rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures through countless clashes.
With the sword tip lightly resting on the earth, Lin Dong's aura fused seamlessly with the ambient surroundings, blending into the woodland as he awaited the perfect instant to launch his assault.
Roaring fiercely, the Golden Scale Demon King charged at Lin Dong with its enormous frame resembling a collapsing peak, expelling blazing golden fire from its maw to swallow its foe whole in a single assault.
Yet in that instant, Lin Dong's silhouette appeared to vanish into nothingness, dodging the fiery onslaught with ease. Simultaneously, he flashed like a bolt of thunder, materializing right beside the Golden Scale Demon King's side.
"Swish!!"
With a muffled yell, Lin Dong swung his longsword, cutting through the atmosphere with icy sharpness, targeting straight for the Golden Scale Demon King's weak points.
Like a soaring dragon, the sword gleam instantly impaled the Golden Scale Demon King's form, golden ichor erupting and dyeing the nearby plants crimson.
A mournful howl escaped the Golden Scale Demon King as its colossal body toppled to the ground, twitching several times before all vitality faded away.
For this strike, Lin Dong hadn't utilized any Ancient Martial Level technique; it was nothing more than a relaxed slash.
Still, the Golden Scale Demon King couldn't endure even that!
The gap in power between a Demon King-tier beast and him, a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, was simply insurmountable.
Upon the Golden Scale Demon King's demise, dense Five Elements energy gradually seeped from its corpse, manifesting as pristine, unparalleled Metal Energy that gleamed radiantly.
Lin Dong knew perfectly that, possessing the rarest Five Elements Physique, he had the ability to take in and convert all kinds of Five Elements Energy, making this Metal Energy an ideal boost to his power.
Even though this energy offered only a tiny boost to his strength, Lin Dong had no intention of letting it go to waste.
Approaching steadily, Lin Dong reached out with both palms to caress the Metal Energy, watching as the golden radiance swiftly entered his body and integrated with his bloodstream. A mighty surge of power welled up inside, suggesting a possible advance in his cultivation.
This Metal Energy infusion marginally increased his strength. Yet, the amount was negligible. Surprisingly, though, it endowed his swordsmanship with an added layer of golden keenness.
It proved to be a delightful surprise.
At the same time, a brilliant glow burst from Lin Dong's War God Token, displaying the distinct figure "100" upon its surface.
Within the Land of Five Elements, slaying a single Demon King counted as 100 regular demon beasts, and the one Lin Dong had just defeated marked his initial triumph in this enigmatic territory.
This score not only reflected his prowess but also stood as proof of the honor he brought to his nation, captivating global eyes.
Lin Dong carefully stored the War God Token, his gaze burning with even fiercer resolve.
He understood this marked only the start. Ahead lay the task of pursuing additional demon beasts.
Furthermore, Demon Kings wouldn't suffice; he had to seek out the Demon Emperor.
In this way, not only would he amass points faster from slain demon beasts, but it would provide even more substantial help in bolstering his power.
