Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2855 - 2854: Beating the Water Origin

Lin Dong sat in a cross-legged position, enveloped by a subtle yellow radiance, the outward sign of his comprehension of the Earth Dao. With closed eyes and intense concentration, his consciousness appeared to transcend spatial dimensions, entering an immense realm composed of earth elements. Within this domain, every speck of dust held universal truths, and every stone bore witness to the passage of time. He became one with this world, experiencing the profound vastness of the Earth Dao. He perceived the earth's rhythm, a steady, potent beat akin to an ancient heart, beating unceasingly. He sensed the flow of earth elements, which, despite their apparent stillness, underwent constant, subtle transformations, eternally alive and endlessly cycling. Lin Dong came to understand that the Earth Dao is not merely inert matter but rather a vibrant life force, the very bedrock of all growth and the ultimate source of stability for existence. During this profound process, Lin Dong’s Mental Power also underwent a silent metamorphosis. It expanded beyond the confines of mere consciousness, beginning to synchronize with the earth elements, as if imbued with life itself, granting him the ability to perceive, comprehend, and harness the might of the Earth Dao. His Mental Power started to merge with the earth elements, forming a singular, transcendent entity – a formidable power that combined the quintessence of the Earth Dao with the potent intensity of Mental Power. Lin Dong christened this new force the "Earth Spirit Divine Consciousness." This consciousness could discern the minute shifts within earth elements and transmute the sheer weight and steadfastness of the Earth Dao into the piercing sharpness and penetration characteristic of a Spiritual Attack. At this pinnacle moment, he felt as though he embodied the Earth Dao itself, each discharge of his Mental Power mirroring the unyielding wrath of the earth, utterly unparalleled. As Lin Dong's command over the Earth Spirit Divine Consciousness deepened, he could precisely detect every subtle alteration in his surroundings, even anticipating the Water Origin's subsequent actions. He recognized that he had finally discovered the key to countering the Water Origin's signature technique, the Origin Water Escape. "It is time," Lin Dong whispered, his voice resonating with an unprecedented level of confidence and eager anticipation. At that very instant, the Water Origin's voice from the surface penetrated the underground depths. "Heh heh, brat, I've found you!" The Water Origin's voice was as frigid as ice, slicing through the subterranean rock layers to strike directly at Lin Dong's heart and mind. Accompanying this chilling declaration, innumerable crystal-clear droplets, imbued with deadly intent, cascaded downwards from above. They formed an impenetrable curtain of rain, each drop possessing sufficient power to reshape mountains and rivers. These droplets traced elegant arcs through the air, yet they concealed a lethal menace; upon contact with Lin Dong's body, they would not only instantly consume his Inner Qi but also relentlessly corrode his flesh, like a persistent, gnawing ailment, until he was utterly annihilated. Despite the dire onslaught, Lin Dong displayed no trace of fear, his gaze filled only with tranquility and unwavering resolve. "Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, awaken!" he intoned softly. As if responding to his command, the very earth seemed to stir. He transformed into an Earth Dragon, composed entirely of earth elements, erupting from the ground with startling speed. He shot forth from the earth like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, resuming his true form to face the arrogant Water Origin head-on. Witnessing Lin Dong’s effortless breakthrough of its blockade and his direct confrontation, the Water Origin couldn't suppress a sneer: "Now you are merely a rat I've cornered, with nowhere left to run. Your demise is imminent." Its voice dripped with derision and mockery, as though it had already savored Lin Dong's defeat. Yet, in the face of the Water Origin's provocation, Lin Dong offered only a cold smile, retorting, "Rather, it is your time to perish." His tone was composed and resolute, conveying an absolute sense of control. Before his words had fully subsided, Lin Dong's aura underwent a dramatic shift, a surge of power previously unseen coursing through him. He once again gathered his Mental Power, preparing to unleash an assault. This time, the Water Origin dismissed the threat with a disdainful laugh: "Still resorting to Spiritual Attack? I've already told you, your Mental Power is woefully inadequate." However, as its gaze fell upon the Sword of Spiritual Power that Lin Dong had manifested, the contempt etched on its face instantly froze. It perceived that Lin Dong's Spiritual Attack this time was entirely dissimilar to any before. The Sword of Spiritual Power seemed to contain a disconcerting element, a profound, heavy, yet vibrantly alive force. This was precisely the newly comprehended and integrated might of the Earth Dao—the "Earth Spirit Divine Consciousness."

This Sword of Spiritual Power, imbrued with the Earth Dao’s divine consciousness, possessed not only sharpness but also an overwhelming pressure, capable of seemingly altering the very fabric of heaven and earth, turning the cosmos upside down.

The Water Origin’s countenance instantly grew exceedingly grave; it stared at Lin Dong with profound disbelief, murmuring to itself:

"You... your Mental Power has actually merged with the Earth Dao! How can this be possible?"

The Water Origin harbored a deep-seated dread concerning the Earth Dao.

The Earth Dao's inherent weightiness, steadfastness, and enduring vitality were precisely the antithesis that the Water Origin was most unwilling to confront.

Yet, Lin Dong merely fixed his gaze upon it, offering no reply.

A frigid gleam, unprecedented in its intensity, flickered within his eyes, conveying an absolute sense of control over the situation.

"Attack!" Lin Dong commanded, his voice resonating with unyielding authority.

In that instant, the Sword of Spiritual Power, now fused with the Earth Dao, launched itself towards the Water Origin with boundless might, akin to an arrow released from a taut bowstring.

Witnessing this, the Water Origin curled its lips into a sneer, confidently proclaiming:

"You presume that by merging with some common Earth Dao you can shatter my Water Escape? Such naive optimism! Had you possessed the power of the Earth Origin itself, perhaps you could achieve such a feat... but as you are now, you are still woefully short!"

Its words dripped with disdain and mockery towards Lin Dong, its self-assurance remaining unshaken.

At this juncture, its confidence was indeed warranted.

Its ultimate trump card lay in its 'Origin Water Escape,' a technique that had even proven troublesome for the Secondary Ancestor.

It firmly believed that its Origin Water Escape could shield it from any and all attacks.

However, on this occasion, the Water Origin found itself profoundly mistaken.

"Crack～～" A sharp, resounding sound reverberated through the heavens and earth.

As Lin Dong’s Sword of Spiritual Power made contact with the Water Origin’s defense, the seemingly impenetrable Water Escape suddenly fractured with an audible crack.

Subsequently, the fissure rapidly propagated, ultimately leading to its complete disintegration, exposing the Water Origin's true form, etched with sheer terror.

Utterly dumbfounded, the Water Origin stood frozen in shock.

It had never conceived that Lin Dong's Sword of Spiritual Power, infused with the Earth Dao, would genuinely breach its Origin Water Escape.

Lin Dong surveyed the revealed true form of the Water Origin, a subtle smile gracing his lips.

He knew, with absolute certainty, that at this moment, he had decisively triumphed over the Water Origin, emerging as the victor of their confrontation.

And now, the moment had arrived to claim his well-earned spoils of war!
