Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2925 - 2924: Unprecedented and Inimitable
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
News of Lin Dong conquering the summit of the Five Elements Stele propagated like wildfire throughout the entirety of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
Concurrently, the golden radiance adorning the Five Elements Stele, accompanied by the dragon phenomenon above, remained.
It was as if auspicious omens continuously materialized due to Lin Dong's ascent to the pinnacle.
"A singular name ascends like a dragon to the apex. The last occasion such a grand spectacle unfolded at the Five Elements Stele was when the white-clothed Blood Monk attained the first rank. Yet, the ensuing commotion back then paled in comparison to this."
"I am actually witnessing history! Quickly, record this moment! Retrieve your phones and capture these videos."
"These recordings must not be shared carelessly! If you disseminate them to the mortal realm, particularly onto the internet, you risk severe repercussions. The Alliance of Heavenly Realm will impose sanctions upon you."
"I am not so foolish as to commit such a blunder!"
"This Lin Dong is truly operating on another level. From his entry into the Extraterrestrial Battlefield to his current position atop the Five Elements Stele, less than half a year has transpired, correct?"
"Indeed, not even three months have passed. It is utterly astonishing; other cultivators require over three months merely to breach the top ten of the stele’s rankings, let alone the top hundred. He, however, achieved the zenith in a mere three months!"
"This historical feat is likely unparalleled, destined to remain unsurpassed. It transcends mere superiority over past contenders; it positions future aspirants so far behind that they can only gaze in admiration from afar, utterly incapable of reaching the same heights."
"Precisely, the cultivation environment is projected to deteriorate further with time. As the Age of Dharma Decline commences, this present era represents the most opportune moment; subsequent periods will only present greater challenges."
"Quickly, expedite the transmission of this intelligence back to our respective clans..."
"..."
Dispatches relayed by various informants stationed near the Five Elements Stele commenced their journey towards the major powers.
...
The white-clothed Blood Monk, having recently perfected the refinement of a Medicine King, abruptly received a communiqué.
"Master, your long-held first rank on the Five Elements Stele has now been usurped by Lin Dong. You have consequently been relegated to second place."
"The count of Demon Emperors vanquished by Lin Dong has now reached thirty-three..."
The white-clothed Blood Monk, who had held dominion over the Five Elements Stele's apex for an extended duration, had naturally established intelligence operatives in the vicinity.
Given his esteemed status, a multitude of followers gravitated towards him. However, he harbored no inclination towards consolidating a faction.
While he abstained from forming a formal organization, this did not imply an absence of loyal adherents.
Although few in number, each individual was meticulously selected.
Presently, from these select subordinates, this critical message arrived.
His gaze shifted towards the direction of the Five Elements Stele as he softly uttered: "Generations give rise to new talents; it has not been long since Lin Zhantian's era of overwhelming might. Now, it appears to be his son's epoch of dominance..."
"Despite our own achievements, we serve only as the verdant foliage providing contrast to their resplendence."
"However, whether it be the emergence of Lin Zhantian or Lin Dong, it represents a profound boon for human cultivators. For it is the appearance of such prodigies, who lead and define entire eras, that enables humanity's continued perseverance."
"Such formidable beings will inevitably become resolute adversaries against the Extraterritorial Blood Clan."
It was evident that the white-clothed Blood Monk possessed a magnanimous spirit, harboring no resentment towards Lin Dong for eclipsing him to claim the premier position on the Five Elements Stele.
Instead, he perceived it as a fortunate development for martial artists of the human race, fervently hoping that Lin Dong would spearhead their resistance against the encroaching menace of the Extraterritorial Blood Clan, a force intent on extinguishing the very flame of human existence.
Naturally, not all individuals and factions mirrored his expansive and benevolent outlook.
Consider, for instance, the Dark Family's stronghold within the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. Upon receiving this very news, the formidable Secondary Ancestor Shadow Sovereign presented a countenance contorted by extreme displeasure.
"To ascend to the pinnacle of the Five Elements Stele in such a remarkably short span! This Lin Dong's growth is alarmingly swift. Grant him additional time, and this young prodigy might become an insurmountable obstacle, even for a Secondary Ancestor such as myself."
"Irrespective of the cost, he must be eliminated. Even if it necessitates resorting to extreme measures, his demise is non-negotiable."
"Lin Dong, you shall undoubtedly proceed to the Five Elements Stele to claim its promised rewards, will you not? Heh, I shall be awaiting your arrival. This time, even if it entails risking sanctions from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm and enduring a century of confinement, I shall definitively end your life!"
"Your continued growth cannot be permitted. You aspire to become the next Lin Zhantian!"
As for the potential repercussions of terminating Lin Dong, he seemed disinclined to contemplate them.
His singular desire was for Lin Dong's complete annihilation.
...
The War Department of the Four Great Nations, specifically the Yingjiang Country's War Department, located at the Extraterrestrial Battlefield Base.
Their esteemed 'God of Blade,' the Heavenly Envoy, also received intelligence pertaining to this momentous event.
Learning this news, his expression turned exceedingly grim.
"That Lin Dong, to have ascended the Five Elements Stele's peak so swiftly!"
"My original thought was that all the Demon Emperors had gone into hiding, making further hunts by Lin Dong exceedingly challenging. Who would have imagined that while others were stagnant in their Demon Emperor pursuits, he would continue to flourish."
"This, in turn, has propelled him to the pinnacle of the Stele at an even faster pace!"
"After all, those Demon Emperors were unable to evade Lin Dong's relentless hunt..."
At this juncture, the information was transmitted to the Outer World, reaching the "Five Elders" of the Yingjiang Country War Department.
Upon receipt of the intelligence, the Five Elders promptly issued a directive.
"Yingjiang Country War Department, maintain a safe distance from this individual! Unless he intends to annihilate your Extraterrestrial Battlefield Base, under no circumstances should you engage him or initiate hostilities."
Hearing this decree, the 'God of Blade' could only manage a wry chuckle.
Such mandates had not been disseminated for a considerable duration.
Despite their formerly unyielding posture, issuing such a directive now left his heart heavy with an unpalatable feeling.
Yet, he recognized the prudence of the decision. The Yingjiang Country War Department, the Extraterrestrial Battlefield Base, even acting in concert with him, would still be incapable of subduing Lin Dong alone.
He, by himself, could contend against thousands, possessing the might to counter their entire battle department establishment!
Evidently, a comparable situation was unfolding across the Ancient European Country War Department Base, the Yujia Country War Department Base, and the Bear Country War Department Base.
Each received directives from their respective war department headquarters, emanating from the supreme authorities who transcended all.
These orders, issued by individuals of the Junior Patriarch level, cautioned them against provoking Lin Dong.
Only if Lin Dong were to truly overstep his bounds and endeavor to obliterate their battle department bases should resistance be contemplated.
Otherwise, provocation was strictly forbidden.
Regarding any prior offenses, they were further instructed to dispatch their Heavenly Envoys bearing gifts as a form of apology.
Should he still harbor resentment and seek compensation, their demands were to be met to the greatest extent possible.
Indeed, a communication from Bear Country to the Bear Country Town Angel conveyed: "Even if he were to strike you, you must endure it. Furthermore, you are to offer him an apology!"
Upon internalizing this instruction, the Bear Country Town Angel felt an even more profound sense of bitterness. To consider that he, a Town Angel of considerable standing and identity, could only adopt such a subservient stance when facing Lin Dong.
In Yujia Country, the Junior Patriarch of the Pula family also ceased his pursuit of Lin Dong.
"Pravime, if feasible, locate your sister Pravina. Utilize Pravina as an intermediary to foster reconciliation and mend relations with Lin Dong... Furthermore, should the situation warrant it, Pravime, you may need to make a personal sacrifice..."
Hearing this, Pravime let out a weary sigh.
She found herself utterly speechless at the directive issued by the family's Junior Patriarch.
What perception did he hold of Lin Dong?
Did he truly believe such a formidable being would be swayed by mere physical beauty?
Moreover, she herself was several centuries old; though her appearance suggested a woman in her thirties, Lin Dong was genuinely in his twenties. How could he possibly be genuinely captivated by her charms?
