Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2908 - 2907: Legends Wherever He Goes

As Lin Dong’s declaration concluded, a roar, thick with fury and quivering rage, resounded from the depths of the underground chasm:

"Presumptuous human cultivator! How dare you spew such audacious words, challenging our Demon Emperor across realms? What gives you the gall?"

The voice crashed like thunder, sending tremors through the surrounding rocks, and a ferocious surge of power erupted from its form, threatening to rip apart the confined space.

The Blazing Wood Demon Emperor, a formidable entity among three-star demon emperors, wielded divine abilities over flames and the wood element. At this moment, its body blazed with infernal fire, and its wooden frame was enmeshed with verdant vines, each possessing the might to obliterate a minor mountain.

Its eyes, burning crimson, fixated on Lin Dong with murderous intent, seemingly longing to rend him asunder.

Confronted by this immense pressure, Lin Dong maintained an extraordinary composure, his gaze sharp and brilliant like frigid stars.

Dispensing with further talk, he casually extended a hand, and an ancient, unadorned longsword materialized from the void – the Yangxin Sword.

The blade shimmered with a pale cyan sword Qi, possessing a life of its own. This was his perfected 'Sword One,' honed through countless duels with his very lifeblood.

Now, with his cultivation elevated to the Heavenly Realm, 'Sword One' had attained even greater potency.

When it unleashed sword Qi, it could manifest its true, inherent form.

'Sword One,' though simple in its execution, embodied Lin Dong’s profoundest realization and mastery of the Dao of the Sword.

With a sharp whistle, Lin Dong’s form surged forward, as if becoming one with the blade, transforming into a streak of silver lightning that instantaneously traversed the distance between them.

The sword’s tip made the lightest of contact, yet it carried the immense weight of mountains and rivers, a silent thunderclap heralding an attack where all else would cease.

The Blazing Wood Demon Emperor’s onslaught, struck by Lin Dong’s seemingly unremarkable sword, disintegrated like brittle foam. The blazing inferno and resilient vines were utterly annihilated by the sword’s gleam, vanishing into nothingness.

A single sword strike, and the colossal form of the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor was cleaved in twain, its blood and flames mingling to saturate the surroundings.

In its final throes, the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor’s eyes were wide with utter disbelief. It could never have conceived that a three-star demon emperor like itself would be so effortlessly vanquished by a human cultivator of equivalent standing.

"You... How can you wield such overwhelming strength?" Its voice faded, dwindling into silence.

A flicker of profound understanding then dawned in its dying gaze, as if grasping a fundamental truth: "Could it be... you are the Plague God, Lin? The one who ascended with astonishing speed to the second position on the Five Elements Stele?"

Within the battlefield beyond the heavens, and amidst the recent upheavals in the demon beast realm, Lin Dong’s name had already been etched into legend, a figure of dread for all demon beasts below the five-star emperor rank.

To evade this fabled powerhouse, the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor had burrowed tens of thousands of meters beneath the earth, yet fate had cruelly pursued it even there.

Lin Dong offered a faint smile, a visage devoid of elation or sorrow, eternally serene and composed.

"My felicitations, your guess is accurate. It is indeed I."

With his confirmation, he wasted no further moment; the sword light flashed once more, extinguishing the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor’s existence entirely.

In that instant, the cavern fell into an absolute hush, with only Lin Dong standing, a figure of solitary might, as if the very world bowed beneath his feet.

Presently, two orbs of light ascended from the fallen Blazing Wood Demon Emperor’s remains.

One shone with a cyan hue, larger in size. The other glowed red, notably smaller.

Lin Dong registered a touch of surprise; this Blazing Wood Demon Emperor harbored not one, but two Five Elements Energy light globes within its being.

"So, there exist demon beasts with dual innate abilities..." Lin Dong mused aloud, pondering if such a creature was indeed a rarity amongst its kind.

It was no wonder, then, that it had displayed such brazen arrogance earlier.

"Hoo～～～" Lin Dong inhaled deeply, drawing the two energy globes directly into his body before commencing their assimilation.

Although these two Five Elements Energy light globes were substantial, they were insufficient to propel Lin Dong from the early stage of the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven to its mid-stage.

His current requirement was for an immense reservoir of power.

The progression from the early to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven was an arduous undertaking.

Having absorbed and refined the two energy globes, Lin Dong employed the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, navigating his way from the subterranean depths back to the surface.

Meanwhile, Ye Linglong awaited him by the large tree encountered previously.

Upon observing Lin Dong emerge, she inquired, unable to suppress her curiosity: "Problem resolved?"

Lin Dong offered a nod in affirmation.

"So swift? What rank demon emperor was it?" Ye Linglong inquired again."A three-star demon emperor, the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor.""A three-star demon emperor, vanquished so quickly. Truly astonishing!" Ye Linglong couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "How many moves did it take?""Merely one sword strike."Ye Linglong was utterly astonished; this was simply beyond belief!"I can contend with demon beasts of the same tier. I am currently a Third Stage Great Master, capable of slaying a three-star demon king. However, I certainly couldn't achieve a one-sword victory. It would at least take hundreds of rounds of battle. Thus, the disparity in talent between myself and Lin Dong is evident," Ye Linglong mused inwardly.She had previously believed her breakthrough in two days was remarkably swift, even harboring a touch of arrogance.Thinking that her talent wasn't too far off from Lin Dong's? Lin Dong also couldn't achieve a breakthrough in two days previously, could he?But reflecting now, they are in no way comparable!Her own advancement was achieved with Lin Dong's assistance. Without his help, providing the expansion pill, aiding in the slaying of a seven-star demon king, and enabling her to refine its essence, how could she have broken through so rapidly?Relying solely on herself, the difficulty would have been immense.Furthermore, previously, when Lin Dong was merely an Earth Realm martial artist, he had not yet entered this Extraterrestrial Battlefield. He did not rely on Five Elements energy cultivation.Therefore, a direct comparison is simply impossible!To assess talent and potential, one must compare them on an equal footing.For instance, if she were now, like Lin Dong, at the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, could she slay a demon emperor of the same rank? Could she, like him, achieve a one-sword defeat?Could she contend against a Four-Star Demon Emperor, transcending levels?These feats, clearly, she could not accomplish!Lin Dong, unaware of her internal reflections, addressed her at this moment: "Let's press onward.""We will soon arrive at the Azure Water Abyss.""Demon emperors are elusive, they all lie in hiding. And the Azure Water Abyss is a suitable locale for them to conceal themselves.""Perhaps there, we can encounter more demon emperors."Hearing this, Ye Linglong was once again perplexed."Why are all the demon emperors in hiding?""Two primary reasons!" Lin Dong truthfully relayed the information he had gleaned from the Blazing Wood Demon Emperor to Ye Linglong."The first reason is due to me. Those demon beasts, having heard of my exploits in hunting demon emperors within the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, have become too fearful to emerge. They dread being hunted by me.""The second reason is that recently, there appears to be a significant undertaking by the Blood Clan, causing these demon emperors to lie low. They are positioning themselves to seize advantages in the aftermath of a confrontation between human martial artists and the Blood Clan."Upon hearing these words, Ye Linglong couldn't help but exclaim with a sigh:"Lin Dong, it is indeed you! Everywhere you go, you create legends! What deviants, demons, ghosts, and monsters, upon hearing your name, revere you as a deity and dare not show themselves..."
