Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2812 - 2811: Thunder’s Killing Intent!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
At the fringe of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield stood the Five Elements Stele, an ancient monument carrying the glory and aspirations of innumerable martial artists, now gently releasing a subtle spiritual glow.
As Lin Dong's sword struck down, the crowded names and their matching demon beast kill counts on the stele began shifting faintly.
Lei had held the steady second spot on the Five Elements Stele, his demon beast tally proudly fixed at twenty-two, a hard-won honor from countless brushes with death.
But Lin Dong's slaying of the Demon Emperor shattered all that without mercy.
Lin Dong's name, resting quietly in third, seemed propelled by some unseen power, rising steadily to overtake Lei and claim the solid second position.
His Demon Emperor kill count refreshed to twenty-three.
A figure that stunned countless martial artists.
This shift instantly sparked a commotion near the Five Elements Stele.
Surprised and curious voices buzzed through the crowd one after another.
"This Lin Dong is a real monster! Didn't he just compete in the War God Competition? How's he finding time to hit the Five Elements Stele zone and update his record?"
"Hey, don't sell him short—he's handling both like a pro. See Lei? He's killing it in the War God Competition too, but Lin Dong still passed him."
"This sets up an epic showdown—they're both top dogs in the War God Competition. Picture them clashing on the battlefield, it'll be insane!"
"Think Lei can let this slide? Getting lapped by Lin Dong in plain sight, with his personality, no way he takes it lying down."
Amid the chatter, excited murmurs about the coming clash bubbled up too.
All eyes pictured Lin Dong and Lei colliding on the battlefield like planets smashing together.
Meanwhile, the ranking shift flashed across the big screen outside the Land of Five Elements, racing like wildfire to battle zones everywhere.
Dugu Tian, Heavenly Envoy of Dragon Country’s Battle Area, was first to broadcast the thrilling update.
"Listen up, fresh news from the Five Elements Stele—our War God Lin isn't just dominating the War God Ranking, he's overtaken Lei there too, seizing second place!"
Dugu Tian boomed with pride, and before he finished, Dragon Country’s Battle Area exploded in roaring cheers.
"War God Lin invincible! War God Lin invincible!"
Other battle areas, though, seemed deflated and resentful by comparison.
Especially Yingjiang Country Combat Zone!
Lei represented Yingjiang Country's martial artists.
His former second rank on the Five Elements Stele had been a badge of honor for countless Yingjiang fighters.
They viewed him as their zone's champion, yearning for him to climb higher on the stele.
Yet Lin Dong's explosive surge doused their hopes, compelling them to reassess this rising Dragon Country powerhouse.
...
Over on the flip side.
Deep inside the Land of Five Elements, Lei pushed hard, darting through thick forests and jagged peaks, hunting the Demon Emperor's trail to lock in and boost his Five Elements Stele spot.
As a top contender just below the Secondary Ancestor, Lei wielded fearsome power, armed with aces and techniques that scared off plenty of martial artists.
This War God Competition run wasn't just about offing Lin Dong or chasing Origin Power—he had one more aim.
Namely, bagging extra Demon Emperors to narrow the lead on the stele's top rank.
But as he hunted with laser focus, a shocking alert hit like lightning from clear skies, sinking his spirits into an abyss.
Lei was locked in a brutal scrap with a savage demon beast when his wrist's Secret Technique Bracelet buzzed faintly.
A soft glow appeared, then a crisp voice echoed in his head:
"Lei, Five Elements Stele rankings updated—you've been passed by Lin Dong."
Those words chilled him to the core, freezing him mid-motion; his gaze snapped upward, boring through the canopy as if peering at the distant Five Elements Stele scene.
His face twisted in turmoil, a storm of feelings churning inside.
To him, the Five Elements Stele ranking was far more than digits—it marked his feats in the Land of Five Elements, proved his might, and paved his path to greater heights.
Lei drew in a profound breath, fighting to steady the storm raging within him. He understood that the position on the Five Elements Stele outweighed the War God Competition ranking by far, as it involved not just individual glory but also the lavish prizes hidden inside the Five Elements Stele.
Those dominating the top spots on the Five Elements Stele ranking gain the chance to seize enigmatic treasures buried deep within the Land of Five Elements, items coveted fiercely by numerous ancient sects.
He had previously surged into the top five, securing a reward in the process.
It was a supreme ancient martial technique, now standing as one of his mightiest hidden aces.
Lei had long harbored ambitions of storming to the top spot on the Five Elements Stele, eager to claim yet another prize from it.
Yet now, he had been overtaken before reaching first place, dropping from second down to third!
"Why? How can Lin Dong’s demon beast slaying pace in the Land of Five Elements be so astonishingly swift?" Lei pondered silently, a flicker of suspicion in his gaze.
He was fully aware that the Land of Five Elements stretched endlessly, with demon beasts dispersed sparsely; even for a powerhouse like him, efficiently tracking and killing them proved no simple feat.
Furthermore, the unique conditions in the Land of Five Elements hampered sensing capabilities, so even top-tier experts just below the Secondary Ancestor level could only detect within mere kilometers, turning beast hunts into grueling endeavors.
"Does he possess some secret weapon?" A trace of wariness stirred in Lei’s mind.
Should he truly hold such a secret advantage in perception, stretching far beyond a few kilometers, his demon beast hunting speed could easily outstrip everyone else’s.
However, should that prove true, this Lin Dong might very well rocket to the number one spot on the Five Elements Stele right amid the War God Competition!
The white-clothed Blood Monk already posed a daunting challenge for Lei, nearly impossible to overtake.
And now, Lin Dong had entered the fray as well.
"Will I ever claim the top rank on the Five Elements Stele in this lifetime?"
"Impossible! If I can’t rival his Demon Emperor hunting speed, then I’ll target him instead! Once he’s eliminated, my position will climb back up naturally!
"This Lin Dong must die by my hand."
A spark of resolve ignited in Lei’s eyes as he schemed quietly within.
He realized Lin Dong now blocked his road ahead, and without removing this danger, his goal of seizing first on the Five Elements Stele remained elusive.
Lei started devising a perfect scheme.
Here, inside the Land of Five Elements, throughout this War God Competition, to take him down.
