Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2487: Chapter 2486: Entering the Extraterrestrial Battlefield

The Arctic winds continued to howl in the distance, carrying a biting chill, yet they were unable to touch Lin Dong and his group.

In front of the mysterious light gate on the extradimensional battlefield, Lin Dong stood shoulder to shoulder with the recently met Xuan Tian Elder. Their figures were elongated under the afterglow of the aurora, appearing particularly solemn.

”To have the fortune of meeting Young Friend Lin, a mythical figure of ten thousand years, is truly a blessing for this old man.” Xuan Tian Elder clasped his hands together, showing no disrespect due to Lin Dong’s youth.

Instead, he was incredibly serious!

A Heavenly Realm martial artist at twenty-one years old is worthy of anyone’s respect!

Lin Dong responded with a smile and a clasp of his hands, ”Elder Xuan Tian, you flatter me. It is I who am honored to meet you, Elder Xuan Tian.”

”I have long heard of the names of the ten great Elders of the Heavens from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm. Now that I get to see them, it is truly fulfilling a wish.”

”Haha... Young Friend Lin, let’s not repeat the pleasantries. For others, the ten great Elders of the Heavens may be high above and unreachable. But to you, Young Friend Lin, you could take such a position if you wish at this very moment.”

”Young Friend Lin, how about joining our Heavenly Realm Alliance? In the future, there will be eleven great Elders of the Heavens!”

Lin Dong waved his hand, ”Elder Xuan Tian, previously, the inspector also invited me to join the Heavenly Realm Alliance. However, I declined.”

”I’m really used to being free and unfettered, not wanting to join any organization.”

”All right.” Xuan Tian Elder sighed inwardly with a sense of regret, then said, ”I won’t take up any more of your time.”

”Young Friend Lin, this journey to the extradimensional battlefield is extremely dangerous. Even for Heavenly Realm martial artists, there is a high possibility of falling. Please be very careful.”

Xuan Tian Elder’s voice was deep and magnetic, his eyes showing profound expectations for Lin Dong.

Though he was elderly, he exuded an undeniable aura of authority and warmth.

Lin Dong slightly bowed, grateful and said, ”Thank you for the guidance, Elder. Lin Dong will remember it well and live up to expectations.”

Subsequently, Elder Xuan Tian proactively asked Lin Dong for his contact information.

This type of situation had never occurred before.

Previously, even though there were Heavenly Realm martial artists from various major forces entering the extradimensional battlefield, they did not warrant such attention from Elder Xuan Tian.

Very few people in this world were worth him actively befriending!

And Lin Dong was one of them!

After the two exchanged contact information, Lin Dong clasped his hands and said, ”Then, Elder Xuan Tian, we will proceed into the extradimensional battlefield.”

Finished speaking, Lin Dong turned and faced the Dragon Group members ready behind him.

Each of them displayed determined expressions, eyes bright with anticipation and resolve regarding the unknown challenges ahead.

Lin Dong pulled out the special qualification token made by the Dragon Country War Department from his bosom. The token was engraved with complex runes, shimmering with a faint golden light as if it contained some mysterious power.

”Everyone, take out your tokens, we are preparing to enter.” Lin Dong’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears, like a horn awakening their battle intent.

The group promptly responded, swiftly taking out their own tokens and holding them uniformly in front of their chests.

With a minor humming, the runes on the tokens began to flow, resonating with the ancient formation on the extradimensional battlefield’s gate, producing radiant beams that enveloped Lin Dong and the others.

”The light gate is open, let’s go!” At Lin Dong’s command, he stepped first into the light gate.

His figure was instantly swallowed by the light, and subsequently, each member of the Dragon Group followed in turn, disappearing into the light’s depths.

Within the light gate, time and space seemed to warp, and Lin Dong felt his vision blur. When he opened his eyes again, he found a completely different scene before him.

The biting cold of the Arctic was utterly forgotten, replaced by an endless desert, a scorching sun overhead, and rolling heat waves with air filled with dryness and scorching heat.

”Is this... the extradimensional battlefield?” Lin Dong looked around, feeling a surge of shock within.

The sand beneath his feet was fine and scorching, each step seemed to amplify Earth’s pulse. In the distance, dunes rose and fell, stretching to the horizon, blending with the skyline, indistinguishable between sky and sand.

”Everyone, be cautious. The environment here is completely different from what we are familiar with, stay alert.” Lin Dong quickly regained his composure, reminding his teammates behind him. He knew all too well that in such an extreme environment, any negligence could be fatal.

Members of the Dragon Group nodded, rapidly adjusting their states to adapt to this sudden change in environment.

From the moment they stepped into the extradimensional battlefield, they understood this journey was no ordinary experience.

Behind the light gate, the landing point was not the predetermined safe area.

Instead, it randomly threw them into some area of the extradimensional battlefield.

Now, through the map of the extradimensional battlefield, they knew they were in an endless desert named ”Northern Desert.”

This desert was exceptional, with a sun burning fiercely, baking the golden sand to scorching heat.

Scorching heat waves rolled over, as if even the air was aflame, with temperatures soaring to several hundred degrees, far beyond what ordinary people could endure.

”Everyone, be careful, this environment is more severe than imagined. Use your inner Qi to protect your body to prevent the heat from injuring your meridians.” Lin Dong’s voice was calm and powerful.

He circulated his inner Qi to create a faint protective shield, isolating the surrounding heat waves while reminding those around him.

The elite members of the Dragon Group were all well-trained, and upon hearing his words, they immediately adjusted their breathing, applying their learned techniques, gathering their inner Qi on the surface to form various defensive layers to withstand the extreme environment.

Even though they were in a desperate situation, their eyes shone with an unyielding light—a desire for challenge and confidence in their own strength.

The group treaded upon the burning sand, slowly moving forward.

They had to traverse this desert to reach the central safe zone of the extradimensional battlefield.

In that central safe zone, safety bases were established by the war departments of various countries.

Their target was the safety base of the Dragon Country War Department.

There, they would rest and plan their next move.

However, the path there was far from smooth as imagined.

Just as everyone warily navigated between the dunes, the desert underfoot suddenly ceased to be calm.

Tiny tremors rose from the ground, initially just slight vibrations, but quickly escalating as if some colossal entity was stirring beneath the sand.

”Something’s happening, prepare defenses!” Lin Dong was the first to notice the anomaly, stopping abruptly, hands clenched into fists, inner Qi boiling, ready to confront any crisis that might come.

The Dragon Group members also halted, each taking advantageous positions, fully prepared.

Their eyes reflected both tension and excitement; encountering a demon beast on the extradimensional battlefield was both a challenge and an opportunity for martial artists.

With a deafening roar, the surface of the desert shattered open, and a massive demon beast clad in fiery red scales shot skyward from the ground.

Its blazing gaze swept over them, spewing flames from its mouth, clearly seeing Lin Dong and the others as prey.

”It’s a Fire Scaled Beast, a demon beast living in extreme high-temperature environments, with strength as a Quasi-Demon King, equivalent to a human half-step Earth Realm martial artist.” Based on information from the Dragon King War God, Lin Dong quickly determined the beast’s type and strength.

Facing this Fire Scaled Beast, Lin Dong certainly didn’t make the first move; he could kill this level of demon beast with just a glance.

There’s simply no need!

He glanced around at the group and asked the Dragon Group elites, ”Who wants to face it in battle?”

He was prepared to allow this Fire Scaled Beast to serve as training for the Dragon Group members.
