Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2814 - 2813: Encountering Thunder
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Within Lin Dong's mind, a resolute choice was set; he would face the terrifying figure called "Lei" head-on.
His resolve stood unyielding like stone, undeterred by the uncertain road strewn with dangers ahead.
Lin Dong met the profound gaze of War God Hei Long and spoke deliberately, his tone laced with absolute command:
"Next, let’s part ways for now."
War God Hei Long caught these words, a flicker of mixed feelings crossing his eyes, as he fully grasped Lin Dong's worry.
In this unpredictable battle, any extra attachment might turn into a deadly flaw.
Lei, a famous powerhouse on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, boasts immense strength and sly tactics, impossible to take lightly.
Should Lei have laid an ambush, Lin Dong could safeguard himself, yet protecting War God Hei Long would be beyond his grasp.
He might confront top-tier foes below the Secondary Ancestors, moving freely without restraint from any force.
However, that hardly implies he could escort an Earth Realm martial artist through it unscathed.
"Okay, then War God Lin, I’ll find a place to await your news." War God Hei Long replied in a resonant, steady voice; he accepted and backed Lin Dong's choice completely.
As fellow warriors in battle, few words were needed between them—a single look or phrase spoke volumes.
Lin Dong gave a slight nod before departing.
He pivoted, striding resolutely forward, his gaze brimming with intense murderous resolve.
War God Hei Long remained where he was, observing Lin Dong's figure shrink into the distance until it vanished entirely, then sought a concealed spot to wait for positive updates.
Tracking the blinking red marker on the War God Token, Lin Dong navigated the thick woods and rugged peaks, proceeding cautiously with every move to avoid overlooking any hint.
That red marker marked not just Lei’s location, but also Lin Dong's objective and the endpoint of his journey.
Time dragged on heavily right then, every ticking moment laden with immense tension.
Roughly one hour passed before Lin Dong reached his target spot.
A misty, cloud-wrapped valley lay before him.
This secluded gorge felt cut off from the outside realm, severed from all external clamor and vitality, steeped instead in eerie quiet and suffocating weight.
The typical buzz of insects and bird songs had fallen utterly silent, replaced solely by the mournful howl of wind slicing through the valley, heightening the dread and disquiet.
At the valley's mouth, Lin Dong's eyes pierced through successive layers of haze, seeking hidden truths inside. He understood clearly that such stillness frequently signaled a fiercer tempest brewing.
And at the heart of that tempest stood the one he sought—Lei.
Positioned at the valley's threshold amid the thick fog before him, Lin Dong kept his thoughts sharply focused.
He realized that mere eyesight alone wouldn't uncover Lei’s whereabouts in this shroud.
Thus, he drew in a profound breath, drawing the surrounding gloom and hush deep into his lungs.
At once, he shut his eyes gently, unleashing the mental energy inside him; it roared forth like surging waves, crafting an unseen field.
This marked the outward projection of his spiritual power domain!
With the spiritual power domain deployed, Lin Dong sensed the tiniest shifts across the environment in a hundred-mile span, pinpointing any hidden adversaries.
Right then, as his spiritual power domain enveloped the whole valley, a flood of data rushed into his consciousness.
Directed by this spiritual power, Lin Dong swiftly pinpointed Lei’s exact spot.
Shockingly, Lei lurked under a cascading waterfall far inside the valley.
Water plunged from the falls like an inverted celestial river, thundering relentlessly, while Lei floated within its torrent, letting the deluge pound his form without reaction.
Lei had evidently detected Lin Dong’s spiritual power domain too, his voice booming across the valley suddenly, tinged with astonishment and insight:
"You indeed have trump cards, while the rest of us, limited by the unique prohibition power in this Five Elements Land, can only perceive within a few kilometers. But you are not constrained as such, your perception far surpasses ordinary people, with greater range."
"No wonder in hunting demon beasts you constantly dominate the first place, far surpassing me, the second!"
Lei’s statement showed acknowledgment of Lin Dong’s prowess, yet hid profound wariness and enmity.
Likewise, Lin Dong’s voice rang out from beyond the valley, steady and forceful:
"Lei, you went to great lengths to have me find you. Now that I’ve found you, show me all your plans. Today, I, Lin Dong, shall take on everything!"
Lin Dong's declaration brimmed with unyielding confidence and resolve. He was acutely aware of the dangers lurking in this journey, yet he grasped even better that striking first beat waiting passively for an unseen foe's strike.
You want to kill me?
Fine!
Then, prepare yourself to fall by my hand as well!
Lei’s voice boomed like thunder from the heavens, resounding through the valley laced with scorn and challenge:
"I must say, I respect your boldness a bit—fully aware I might have laid a trap, and you charge in anyway!"
The moment Lei’s words died away, the whole valley trembled violently.
From his lips came four commanding words brimming with might:
"Sky Thunder Domain!"
Those four words, heavy as a thousand jun, thundered across the valley, echoing without end.
With Lei at its heart, the skies over an eighty-kilometer span transformed dramatically as his command landed.
Clear heavens turned pitch black in an instant, dense clouds swirling like colossal dragons across the firmament, unleashing an overwhelming pressure.
Moments later, thunder roared from the clouds, akin to a furious deity's wrath, booming and ear-shattering, evoking awe.
The whole area, every inch of the surroundings, plunged into the abrupt storm's grip.
Lightning bolts ripped the darkness, lighting up the night and casting a glow on Lei’s resolute, icy face.
This was the Heavenly Gifted item Lei claimed from placing top five on the Five Elements Stele—Sky Thunder Domain.
Sky Thunder Domain represents a enigmatic force beyond Ancient Martial Level, on par with Heavenly Gifted Technique.
It alters the nearby space and terrain while harnessing thunder as its arsenal.
Furthermore, it seals off the area into a domain. Escape demands either besting him or shattering the barrier.
Right now, Lei unleashed this power at full throttle, drowning the valley in a tempest of lightning.
Within the chaos, Lin Dong sensed the thunder's fury raging around him and creased his brow faintly.
His eyes fixed on Lei with a flicker of contempt and derision as he spoke deliberately:
"So this is your ace in the hole? Nothing impressive!"
Lin Dong’s mocking disdain drew a frosty retort from Lei: "Brat, your arrogance knows no bounds!"
"Now show me the power that lets you scoff at my Sky Thunder Domain."
