Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2861 - 2860: Unshakable

Within Lin Dong’s heart, a thought, resilient as a sprouting seed, persistently surfaced, taking root and blooming. He understood that confronting the formidable Golden Buddha Kuerzan demanded more than his current capabilities; a new breakthrough was essential. Lin Dong pondered if a method existed to vanquish or even eliminate this Buddhist master without resorting to the 'Sword Two' ultimate skill, a technique known for its immense energy consumption and hazardous repercussions. His gaze fixated on the seemingly impenetrable Immovable Golden Buddha Defense of Golden Buddha Kuerzan, his mind clouded with uncertainty. Activating the Eye of Insight, one of his most trusted abilities capable of piercing the essence of all things and revealing an opponent's vulnerabilities, Lin Dong sought an answer. Yet, even this potent sight could not detect a single flaw in Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s formidable defense. The Immovable Golden Buddha Defense stood like an unbreachable fortress, encapsulating Golden Buddha Kuerzan with absolute security, impenetrable to any intrusion. “Boom boom boom~~~” Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s assault resumed, a relentless tempest of blows, each carrying devastating force, compelling Lin Dong to dedicate his entire focus to defense. His form weaved and shifted, perpetually searching for a sliver of survival amidst the onslaught, but the ceaseless barrage from Golden Buddha Kuerzan made evasion exceedingly difficult. In this perilous moment, teetering between life and death, a spark of spiritual illumination suddenly ignited in Lin Dong’s consciousness. He grasped that if Golden Buddha Kuerzan could infuse the Earth Dao into his physical defense to manifest such a potent protective system, then he too could achieve a similar integration. This realization pierced the confusion in his mind like a lightning strike, unveiling a novel path forward. “Indeed! I can push my defenses further and overcome him through sheer resilience!” Lin Dong exclaimed, a profound sense of enlightenment washing over him. He recalled his prior success in merging the Earth Dao with the Sword of Spiritual Power, a memory that fortified his conviction in this newfound strategy. “I successfully infused the Earth Dao into the Sword of Spiritual Power before; consequently, I can now integrate the Earth Dao into my physical defense as well,” Lin Dong mused, a distinct brilliance emanating from his eyes. He held a firm belief that having established a precedent with his previous experiments, this current endeavor would unfold with greater ease. Consequently, Lin Dong commenced the process of assimilating the Earth Dao into his physical defenses. He closed his eyes, drawing a deep breath, and fully immersed his consciousness in the realm of Inner View. He sensed the presence of the Earth Dao’s power within his being, meticulously guiding it towards every extremity of his body, facilitating its fusion with his flesh, bones, and meridians. Throughout this intricate process, Lin Dong simultaneously had to withstand the relentless assaults from Golden Buddha Kuerzan. He depended on his extraordinary willpower and refined combat techniques, seizing fleeting opportunities for breath amidst the storm of attacks while continuously refining and perfecting his defensive capabilities. Driven by Lin Dong’s persistent efforts and unwavering dedication, he began to perceive a palpable transformation in the Earth Dao’s energy coursing through him. It was a sensation of profound weight and solidity, as if his very form were becoming one with the Earth, attaining an unprecedented level of toughness and strength. Lin Dong recognized that he had finally unearthed the key to defeating Golden Buddha Kuerzan. Within Lin Dong’s perception, the passage of time seemed to suspend itself. He devoted his entire being to comprehending the Earth Dao, with each incoming strike from Golden Buddha Kuerzan acting as a catalyst for natural refinement, deepening his understanding of the Earth Dao’s profound mysteries. Lin Dong’s eyes remained closed, yet his mind functioned with crystalline clarity. He felt the Earth Dao’s power within him flow like a gentle stream, gradually permeating his entire body, intertwining with his flesh, bones, and meridians. This was not merely a confluence of energies but a transcendence of existence itself. He seemed to forge an esoteric link with the Earth, drawing inexhaustible might from it with every inhalation. In the throes of this profound enlightenment, Lin Dong did not neglect his defensive duties against Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s relentless assaults. Leveraging his intimate grasp of the Earth Dao, he transformed each offensive maneuver into an opportunity for self-enhancement, continually fortifying his physical defenses through active combat. Lin Dong’s body moved with fluid grace amidst the barrage, each parry and counterstrike imbued with the Earth Dao’s inherent sturdiness and unwavering resilience, progressively blunting the force of Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s attacks. Finally, following a period of intense martial engagement, Lin Dong’s enlightenment culminated in a breakthrough. His eyes snapped open, blazing with a brilliant golden luminescence, a clear manifestation of the Earth Dao’s fully awakened power within him. He drew a deep, resonant breath, seemingly absorbing the very essence of the Earth’s might into his core, before slowly raising his fist, unleashing a devastating Six Harmonies Dragon Fist towards Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

Lin Dong's punch embodied his complete grasp of the Earth Dao, amplified by the physical defense advancements he’d made throughout the fight.

The whistling fist wind roared like a surging mountain flood, unleashing an indomitable force that sent Golden Buddha Kuerzan hurtling backward.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan tumbled through the air, a spray of fresh blood erupting from his mouth.

His form flew for several kilometers before he could barely regain his footing, his face etched with utter disbelief.

"How is this possible? You achieved enlightenment during our intense battle and infused the Earth Dao into your physical defense?" Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s voice trembled with a mixture of shock and resentment.

Lin Dong offered Golden Buddha Kuerzan a confident and serene smile. "I owe this breakthrough to you. Had you not previously integrated the Earth Dao with the Immovable Golden Buddha, this idea might not have occurred to me."

Though his words conveyed a sense of 'gratitude,' his expression betrayed no genuine thankfulness.

Qin Dong’s declaration caused Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s countenance to darken considerably.

He had believed himself to be in control of the battle, only to witness Lin Dong surpass him mid-fight, integrating the Earth Dao into his physical defense and achieving a monumental leap in power.

In that moment, Golden Buddha Kuerzan understood that the tide of the battle was about to turn, shifting from offense to defense.

"It took me over three hundred years to fully integrate the Earth Dao into the Immovable Golden Buddha!"

"Even then, my body wasn't truly invincible. I still needed the relic’s power to suppress you."

"Who could have foreseen you integrating the Earth Dao into your physique amidst our clash, and in such a short span!"

"Furthermore, after this integration, you can now contend with me even with the relic empowering me!"

"I refuse to accept this! Even so, I will surpass your physical defense!"

With a defiant roar, Golden Buddha Kuerzan charged at Lin Dong once more.

"Great Compassionate Palm!" He unleashed the technique again, aiming to shatter Lin Dong.

However, the Lin Dong facing him now was not the same one from moments before. Infused with the Earth Dao, Lin Dong's defenses had reached an unprecedented level.

"Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!"

He retaliated with equal ferocity, unleashing the 'Six Harmonies Dragon Fist' backed by his formidable physical prowess.

"Boom!"

Lin Dong’s fist met Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s palm in a thunderous collision.

"Pfft~~~” Golden Buddha Kuerzan was sent flying backward once more, coughing up another mouthful of blood.

Lin Dong, on the other hand, remained resolutely planted, utterly unfazed.
