Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2852 - 2851: The Mighty Water Origin

The Water Origin presumed that Lin Dong had been obliterated within the torrent of explosions.

However, just as a flicker of triumph began to bloom in its core, preparing to withdraw its power and return to dormancy, an unsettling sensation stealthily infiltrated its awareness.

The surrounding atmosphere grew heavy, as if time itself had decelerated, accompanied by a profound, indefinable dread that chilled from the spine to the very heart.

This disquiet arose from an unexpected deviation.

Lin Dong, who ought to have disintegrated into mere dust by the detonation, inexplicably materialized once more within its perception.

His silhouette gradually coalesced from the void, appearing as if he had journeyed from an alternate dimension.

His eyes blazed with unwavering determination, his grip firm on the Yangxin Sword, which pulsed with a subtle azure luminescence, hinting at an infusion of life force.

His reappearance shattered the fragile illusion of security the Water Origin had orchestrated, causing the ancient entity's countenance to shift dramatically.

"How could this be..." Water Origin whispered, its disbelief palpable, having clearly underestimated Lin Dong's prowess and cunning.

The seemingly fatal 'Droplets,' each imbued with enough force to shatter mountains, had proven ineffective against Lin Dong.

It transpired that, at the very instant the 'Droplets' neared his person, Lin Dong had subtly employed the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, burrowing into the ground to evade the onslaught.

Lin Dong seized this moment not only to sidestep the deadly assault but also to stealthily maneuver behind Water Origin, poised to unleash a decisive strike.

Confronted by this sudden turn of events, Water Origin betrayed no sign of alarm, instead showcasing its inherent composure and might as the Water Sovereign.

Its form underwent an instantaneous metamorphosis, abandoning its previous Tian Sha configuration for a fluid, ethereal state, transforming into a being of pure, translucent water.

Its body became enveloped in a sharp, flowing water current, appearing capable of cleaving through the very fabric of space.

Just as Lin Dong's Yangxin Sword was poised to breach its defenses, a manifestation of pure Water Element, termed Water Escape, materialized from nowhere. It functioned as an immaculate, transparent barrier, precisely intercepting the thrust.

The Yangxin Sword impacted the Water Escape, generating a clear, resonant chime that reverberated outwards. The ensuing clash of energies sent successive ripples propagating through the environment.

During the intense friction between Lin Dong's Yangxin Sword and Water Origin's seemingly intangible yet inviolable Water Escape, sparks erupted where the sword tip met the barrier's surface. Nevertheless, the assault proved futile against a defense that appeared to be constructed from the very essence of cosmic Laws.

Lin Dong's 'Sword One,' typically capable of felling Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artists in a surprise attack, was rendered impotent.

At this juncture, his refined offensive was absorbed without effect, much like a clay ox plunging into the sea, leaving behind only the reverberation of the impact, confirming the attack's reality.

"Haha, mortal, you have indeed earned my attention." Water Origin's voice echoed through the desolate Abyss, laced with a discernible amusement and a hint of challenge.

"I had initially presumed those 'Droplets' would suffice to reduce you to fine particles. However, I underestimated your capacity for evasion. Yet, this is perhaps for the best; the more vibrant your life force, the more delectable the sustenance you offer me."

"Since you have defied annihilation, then accept your fate and become my nourishment..."

At this revelation, Water Origin harbored no disappointment that Lin Dong had survived.

Indeed, a subtle trace of elation could be perceived.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's brow furrowed, his gaze sharp and penetrating as he meticulously scrutinized the Water Escape encircling Water Origin.

He discerned that it was far more than a mere defensive maneuver; it was infused with the Power of Laws, rivaling the defensive capabilities of his Dragon Blood Holy Body's Reverse Scale Transformation and Limitless Transformation techniques.

In fact, it seemed to faintly surpass them.

This realization prompted a surge of astonishment within him, solidifying his understanding of the formidable challenge this confrontation presented.

"Swish!!!" Unyielding, Lin Dong launched another sword strike. This time, he channeled his entire might into the blade. The Yangxin Sword carved a dazzling arc through the air, its trajectory aimed directly at Water Origin's core.

Nevertheless, as Water Origin had implied, the Origin Water Escape appeared to possess an inexhaustible reservoir of life force. Regardless of the ferocity of Lin Dong's Sword Move or the sheer destructive power it contained, the assault failed to inflict even the slightest blemish, being effectively nullified once more.

"This is my Origin Water Escape, the supreme manifestation of my Water Law. Unless you wield power on par with a Sub Ancestor, you cannot harm me, even if you were to strike me indefinitely while I stand here."

Water Origin's laughter carried an undeniable undertone of certainty, as if victory were already within its grasp.

Lin Dong's heart grew heavy. He contemplated momentarily unleashing 'Sword Two,' his ultimate technique, a move capable of obliterating all obstacles in his path upon activation.

However, the critical point was that deploying "Sword Two" might seal Water Origin's fate, but the personal toll would be immense.

He would be plunged into a protracted state of weakness, his survival left entirely to chance.

Contemplating formidable opponents such as Tian Sha, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, and the Gale Queen, Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh.

He was acutely aware that in this world governed by strength, losing power meant forfeiting the right to exist.

"I cannot afford to use Sword Two carelessly; I must discover an alternative." Lin Dong resolved inwardly, his eyes gleaming.

His mind raced, meticulously sifting through every potential countermeasure, leaving no idea or detail unexplored.

He was determined to find a way to defeat Water Origin without resorting to 'Sword Two', preserving his own foundation.

At that moment, Water Origin's taunting voice echoed, "Haha, boy, if you possess any attacks, unleash them swiftly. I can handle them all."

While Lin Dong's mental fortitude remained unshaken, a new gravity settled in his gaze.

Then, he witnessed the water coalescing into a humanoid form, slowly transforming until it mirrored him exactly, standing as his perfect replica.

The spectacle was eerie and unsettling, as if Lin Dong were facing his own reflection, every gesture, every expression flawlessly mimicked.

An inexplicable sense of unease stirred within Lin Dong, yet he quickly suppressed it.

He understood that any hesitation now could prove fatal.

Taking a deep breath, he gathered his remaining strength, preparing to launch his next assault.

"Sword of Wuji!"

As Lin Dong's low incantation resonated, a long sword forged from pure Infinite Energy materialized in his grasp. Its blade shimmered with a faint cyan light, seemingly containing the essence of universal truths.

Gripping the hilt firmly, Lin Dong swung it forward with fierce intent. The sword light, akin to a charging dragon, pierced the void, aimed directly at the Water Origin mirage.

Yet, upon striking the layer of Origin Water Escape, the attack vanished like a stone into the sea, absorbed silently without the slightest disturbance.

Undaunted, Lin Dong shifted his position, initiating a different offensive strategy.

"Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!" he bellowed. His fists moved in tandem, six streams of dragon-shaped Qi Force erupting around him, surging towards Water Origin.

However, the outcome was identical to his previous attempts. The Origin Water Escape stood firm, neutralizing each attack with unwavering resilience.

"Sword One!" Lin Dong unleashed another of his ace techniques, a sword skill that had been his ultimate weapon in countless life-and-death struggles.

This time, he pushed the power of 'Sword One' to its absolute limit, making it even more formidable than before.

The Yangxin Sword in his hand seemed imbued with life as its tip grazed forward. The sword light flashed, targeting Water Origin's crucial point.

Nevertheless, even this strike, infused with Lin Dong's spirit and will, failed to penetrate the barrier that appeared delicate yet proved utterly impenetrable.

Observing this, Water Origin smirked playfully, continuing its provocations:

"Continue… your efforts are merely an amusing spectacle to me."
