Lin Dong and Ye Linglong arrived at the Azure Water Abyss. After defeating several Demon Kings, Ye Linglong's strength advanced, and Lin Dong began teaching her the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist. Lin Dong then sensed a one-star Demon Emperor, the Shadow Sea Jiao, and they went to confront it. The Shadow Sea Jiao recognized Lin Dong as the 'Plague God' from the Five Elements Stele.

The Netherworld Flood Dragon was utterly terrified; it was only a One-Star Demon Emperor.

It had only recently ascended to the Demon Emperor realm. Upon receiving directives from other demon emperors within the Demon Clan to evade the so-called 'Human Calamity,'

it chose to conceal itself here, believing it was safe.

Little did it anticipate being discovered by this very 'Human Calamity.'

"I shall grant you an opportunity to strike," Lin Dong declared.

The Netherworld Flood Dragon cast a glance at Ye Linglong before abruptly charging in her direction.

It understood that confronting Lin Dong, regardless of its abilities, would prove futile.

Lin Dong's very presence rendered his physical defense insurmountable, even if he remained stationary.

Witnessing the beast charge towards Ye Linglong, Lin Dong's expression turned exceedingly grim, exuding an intensely chilling aura.

"You possess a modicum of cleverness, but only up to a point."

With these words, Lin Dong initiated his action.

His body moved with the swiftness of the wind, his gaze icy as he faced the colossal, menacing Netherworld Flood Dragon.

He inhaled deeply, his chest expanding, every muscle taut as if every bone and sinew had been activated, brimming with immeasurable might.

"Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!" Lin Dong bellowed, his voice resonating with draconic power.

His fist shot forth like a celestial projectile piercing the night sky, accompanied by a surge of wind.

As the fist traversed the air, six spectral dragon forms materialized, spiraling gracefully and emitting draconic roars that echoed through the mountain valley.

Each of the six dragon phantoms was rendered with striking clarity, akin to the souls of true dragons in vibrant motion.

They descended with immense force and power, howling towards the Netherworld Flood Dragon.

The Netherworld Flood Dragon was visibly taken aback by this sudden onslaught. It roared, its massive form twisting in mid-air as it attempted to evade the assault of the six dragon shadows.

However, these spectral dragons exhibited homing capabilities; no matter how the Netherworld Flood Dragon maneuvered, they unerringly found their mark.

Ultimately, the six dragon shadows struck the Netherworld Flood Dragon in unison, unleashing a thunderous impact. The beast shrieked in agony, its colossal body convulsing in the air, appearing on the verge of collapse.

Ye Linglong remained at a distance, her eyes wide with astonishment, her gaze fixed upon both Lin Dong and the Netherworld Flood Dragon.

She endeavored to perceive the Dao Rhythm inherent within the six dragon shadows, but they remained too ethereal, seemingly capable of vanishing into the atmosphere at any moment.

Yet, Ye Linglong persevered; she sensed the earnestness of the moment, striving to absorb every nuance of Lin Dong's punch.

She observed the synchronized movement of Lin Dong's entire physique as he delivered the blow, as if every cell contributed to its power.

She noted the flawless coordination among the six dragon shadows as they coiled and moved as a unified entity.

She also recognized the inescapable nature of the moment when the Netherworld Flood Dragon was struck, facing a force it could not resist.

At this juncture, Ye Linglong felt as though she had brushed against the very essence of a 'Dao Rhythm.'

She recalled Lin Dong's earlier words: mastering Ancient Martial Techniques transcended mere application of movements; they encapsulated profound 'Dao Rhythms' beneath the surface.

Only through genuine comprehension of these 'Dao Rhythms' could one truly enter the threshold.

Previously, she had been completely in the dark.

But now, a pivotal insight seemed to dawn upon her.

"Hu~~~"

Ye Linglong closed her eyes and drew a deep, centering breath.

Within her mind, she meticulously replayed Lin Dong's strike, attempting to integrate those sensations into her own being.

She felt an overwhelming connection to the cosmos, her every cell vibrating in harmony with the surrounding air, the earth, and the mountains.

And Lin Dong, in order to allow her a clearer observation of the 'Six Harmonies Dragon Fist' and facilitate her learning, refrained from obliterating the Netherworld Flood Dragon with a single strike.

Instead, he unleashed several more punches!

However, a few strikes were the absolute maximum.

This was due to Lin Dong's overwhelming strength when contrasted with the Netherworld Flood Dragon.

Even with deliberate restraint, the mere residual 'Fist Power' overflowed its defensive capabilities.

If Ye Linglong failed to achieve any realization within these several exchanges, she would have to await another opportunity to comprehend the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist when he employed it anew.

"Boom~~~"

At this very moment, Ye Linglong, mentally reviewing Lin Dong's five-punch sequence of the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist, instinctively mimicked the motion and delivered a punch.

This strike resonated with a faint 'Dragon Roar' and carried an echo of the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist's Dao Rhythm.

"I have grasped a sliver of the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist's Dao Rhythm..."

She exclaimed in astonishment, her eyes fluttering open.

As her eyes opened, they now radiated an extraordinary brilliance.

She realized she had grasped a sliver of "Dao Rhythm." Though it was merely the tip of the iceberg, it represented immense progress for her.

She felt confident that with sufficient time, she could elevate the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist to its entry level.

With even more time, she was certain it could reach great accomplishment, or perhaps even perfection...

Meanwhile, Lin Dong, engaged in his battle with the Shadow Jiao Long, kept a constant watch on Ye Linglong.

Observing her now grasping the 'Dao Rhythm' of the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist, a satisfied smile naturally spread across his face.

"To comprehend the Dao Rhythm is to take the most critical step. You've already touched the threshold..." Lin Dong mused internally.

A sense of deep contentment washed over him.

Following this realization, he decided to unleash his full power.

He announced to Ye Linglong, "Linglong, watch closely as I slay this enemy with the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!"

"Boom!!"

This time, Lin Dong unleashed the Six Harmonies Dragon Fist without any reservation.

Amidst the terrifying and potent gust of his fist, six destructive dragon shadows erupted forth, piercing directly into the Shadow Jiao Long's body.

"Boom boom boom boom~~~~"

The Shadow Jiao Long's form, battered by Lin Dong's Six Harmonies Dragon Fist, was ripped asunder by the released dragon shadows into innumerable fragments of flesh.

It was extinguished before it could even utter a single scream.

Witnessing the brutal demise, Ye Linglong marveled, "The Six Harmonies Dragon Fist, what a ferocious and overbearing fist technique."

Her understanding deepened, and she felt herself drawing even closer to the entry level.

At this exact moment, after Lin Dong had annihilated the Shadow Jiao Long, the Five Elements Energy it contained began to drift out.

It manifested as a cluster of azure luminous energy, brimming with potent water attribute essence.

Lin Dong opened his mouth, directly inhaling it, and commenced the process of refinement.

With the slaying of this demon emperor, Lin Dong's tally of hunted demon beasts seamlessly advanced from twenty-seven to twenty-eight.

The Five Elements Stele, situated nearby, consequently sparked a fresh wave of discussions among the onlookers.

"Lately, no one on the Five Elements Stele has managed to hunt any demon emperors. Rumor has it they are in hiding; even those beneath the Secondary Ancestor, first-tier existences, are unable to locate them."

"Yet, Lin Dong remains an exception, having recently vanquished two demon emperors."

"While others' counts remain static, his continues to rise. The difference between him and the top-ranked White-clothed Blood Monk is diminishing rapidly. He's on the verge of catching up."

"Meanwhile, the chasm between him and those trailing behind only widens; they are no longer even within his sight."

"Could it truly be that the foremost position on the Five Elements Stele is destined for a change of hands?"

"..."

A buzz of excited chatter spread through the crowd, all agreeing that Lin Dong's capabilities were nothing short of heaven-defying.

On the Five Elements Stele, Dracula, currently holding the third rank, was also intently observing the fluctuations in the rankings.

His ascent to the third spot had, in essence, been a 'free ride'.

This was because formidable contenders ranked above him, such as Tian Sha, Lei, and Macaron, had all met their demise at Lin Dong's hands. Their subsequent disappearances from the rankings naturally propelled Dracula upwards.

"I haven't lifted a finger, yet I've attained third place. Truly a victory achieved while resting..." Dracula murmured. He then continued his contemplation, "The demon emperor he eliminated this time possessed a water affinity. It appears he has reached the Azure Water Abyss."

"The moment has arrived; I can proceed to find him for that matter..."

With these final words to himself, his form vanished from his original position.
