Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2877 - 2876: Breakthrough!

Tian Sha's voice, like a razor-sharp blade, pierced the suffocating stillness.

"Do you truly believe Lin Dong will return? I can only say, your optimism is unfounded. Were he to come back, given his character and swiftness, he would have manifested before us like a celestial weapon. Yet, there's no indication of his arrival, signifying he has made a choice and will not be returning."

A thread of scorn and derision wove through Tian Sha's words as he alluded to the White-clothed Blood Monk's misplaced faith in Lin Dong.

Each utterance landed like a crushing blow upon the White-clothed Blood Monk's spirit.

The White-clothed Blood Monk's demeanor flickered, though he swiftly regained his composure, a complex glint surfacing in his deep-set eyes.

He seemed hesitant to fully accept Tian Sha's assertion, opting for quiet contemplation over an immediate retort, as if mulling over a more intricate strategy.

Observing this, Tian Sha's lips curved into a frigid smile, and he pressed on:

"Since your intent is to stall us by exploiting this realm's peculiar rules to drain our power, we shall oblige. However, in this duel of endurance and intellect, I am keen to witness who shall ultimately prevail."

Tian Sha and Blood Fool exchanged a knowing look, their intentions aligning without a word.

They refrained from unleashing their ultimate trump cards, abilities potent enough to obliterate vast expanses, and instead opted for a more insidious tactic.

They initiated a protracted engagement with the White-clothed Blood Monk, employing a sequence of maneuvers designed to maintain relentless pressure without precipitous depletion of their Blood Qi.

Tian Sha's swordsmanship was a spectacle of fluid grace and bewildering unpredictability, each strike akin to a shooting star blazing across the nocturnal heavens, inflicting no fatal wounds yet compelling the White-clothed Blood Monk to dedicate his full attention to defense.

Blood Fool unleashed his mastery of Blood Qi manipulation, conjuring spectral chains that would ensnare and suddenly strike, forcing the White-clothed Blood Monk to remain perpetually vigilant against Blood Fool's ambushes while simultaneously parrying Tian Sha's assaults.

This seemingly unexceptional combat methodology harbored a deadly undercurrent, silently siphoning the White-clothed Blood Monk's stamina and vital force with every passing moment.

Concurrently, within the crucible of this seemingly mundane war of attrition, Tian Sha and Blood Fool steadily advanced toward their objective.

They patiently awaited the opportune instant when the White-clothed Blood Monk would falter, enabling them to deliver a decisive, fatal blow.

Meanwhile, concealed deep beneath the earth, far removed from the ongoing conflict, Lin Dong was undergoing a profound metamorphosis.

Seated in a meditative posture, he was bathed in ethereal rings of pale blue luminescence, a clear manifestation of the surging Water Origin within him.

Lin Dong's eyelids remained firmly shut, every iota of his focus channeled into assimilating this immense power, intending to seamlessly integrate it into his very bloodline and achieve a qualitative transcendence.

As he absorbed the Water Origin, one fragment at a time, Lin Dong's form began to tremble subtly, as if an ancient, dormant power within him was stirring, igniting brilliant flares upon collision with his existing cultivation.

He could discern his strength escalating at an astonishing rate, poised to shatter preceding limitations and ascend into an entirely novel echelon.

Nevertheless, this ascension was fraught with peril, each attempt pushing him toward the precipice of excruciating torment, yet his resolve remained adamantine.

The relentless march of time continued unabated.

Within the abyssal depths of the subterranean expanse, Lin Dong appeared utterly detached from the world, his being infused solely by the primordial Water Origin, flowing languidly within him like a constellation of resplendent stars, casting a gentle, enigmatic azure glow.

This radiance not only illuminated his physical form but also kindled a beacon within his soul, guiding him toward an unparalleled transformation.

As the Water Origin progressively melded with his bloodline, Lin Dong experienced an unprecedented surge of power coursing through him – pure, formidable, and seemingly encompassing the unfathomable breadth of the entire ocean.

He closed his eyes, allowing this profound energy to navigate him through a spiritual odyssey.

Within the phantasmal realm meticulously constructed by the Water Origin, Lin Dong traversed the corridors of time, revisiting the tapestry of his existence.

From the naive innocence of his childhood to the fiery ardor of his youth, and onward to the unwavering perseverance of his young adulthood, each chapter flickered through his consciousness like a cinematic reel.

Yet, this time, he transcended the role of a mere spectator, scrutinizing his past through a more enlightened lens, thereby grasping the intrinsic significance underpinning each decision made.

The Water Origin not only bestowed potent energy but also facilitated a comprehensive replay of his life's journey during this profound spiritual exploration.

He witnessed his struggles against tempests and his rejoicings beneath the sun's embrace.

He keenly felt the sting of setbacks and savored the elation of triumphs.

Once more, he experienced the full spectrum of life's flavors – the sweet, the sour, the bitter, and the piquant – its joys and its sorrows intertwined...

This immersive recollection felt as authentic as reliving life itself, starkly contrasting the vague haziness often associated with dreams.

These deeply etched experiences and profound insights, akin to priceless jewels, became ingrained within his very being, propelling his mental state to an unprecedented level of refinement.

At this very juncture, Lin Dong appeared to stand at the precipice of eternity, his gaze sweeping across epochs both past and future.

He came to grasp that authentic power transcended mere accumulation of might; its true source resided within the heart.

"Indeed, the assimilation of Origin Power offers a profound journey of Xiuxin..."

"And for cultivators at the Heavenly Realm, each successful navigation of a bottleneck represents a vital Xiuxin journey. Without this mental cultivation spurred by Origin Power, simply relying on the passage of time would demand immense duration and favorable circumstances for a breakthrough."

"However, Origin Power seems to act as a catalyst, shortening the journey and facilitating this crucial Xiuxin path."

Lin Dong's understanding deepened considerably.

Through this transformative Xiuxin journey, Lin Dong reaped immense rewards.

He cultivated the virtue of letting go, embraced forgiveness, discovered fortitude amidst trials, and maintained a spirit of humility during times of success...

As this internal power reached its zenith, Lin Dong's physical form experienced a sudden tremor, an ineffable wave of energy surging from within. This surge effortlessly shattered the bottleneck of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven, propelling him into a new echelon: the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.

This advancement signified not merely an augmentation of physical strength but a significant evolution of his mental fortitude.

An overwhelming sense of lightness and liberation washed over him, as if the entirety of existence lay spread out beneath his feet, awaiting his exploration.

The breakthrough imbued Lin Dong with a more profound gaze and an aura that was both transcendent and remarkably distinguished.

"Finally, a smooth progression to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven achieved!"

"Consequently, my 'Sword Two' technique will no longer be a one-time usage. Its application can now be extended up to five times!"

"Furthermore, I now wield the Law of Heaven and Earth!"

Nevertheless, Lin Dong opted not to immediately manifest his Law of Heaven and Earth.

He was, after all, employing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique to remain concealed beneath the ground.

Under such subterranean circumstances, the summoning of the Law of Heaven and Earth would prove highly inconvenient.

Lifting his gaze, he pierced through the layers of rock and earth above, observing the unfolding combat on the surface.

The White-clothed Blood Monk, true to his solemn promise, was indeed occupied, keeping Tian Sha and Blood Fool engaged on his behalf!

"Now, it is your turn to perish!" Lin Dong declared, his form blurring as he ascended towards the surface.
