Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2717: Chapter 2716: The Top Five

”Lin Tian, your ambition is truly high. No wonder you’ve achieved such accomplishments today.” The Dragon Country Warrior was full of admiration.

Suddenly, Lin Dong felt a stir in his heart. He was currently ranked eighth.

Yet he didn’t become complacent because of this, but instead, curiously inquired about the top five on the Five Elements Stele.

”Do you know who the top five are? How many demon beasts have they killed?” Lin Dong asked the person.

”The top five are all legendary figures in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.” The Dragon Country Warrior’s eyes glimmered with awe.

Then, he recounted one by one:

”Ranked first is the Kill God of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the White-clothed Blood Monk. He has killed twenty-eight Demon Emperors and sixty-three Demon Kings, a true nightmare for everyone.”

”Ranked second is Macaron of the Dark Family. He acts mysteriously and is ruthless in methods but equally strong, having killed twenty-four Demon Emperors and fifty-eight Demon Kings.”

”Ranked third is Lei from the Lightning Family. His speed is unmatched, and his sword technique is miraculous, having killed eighteen Demon Emperors and forty-four Demon Kings.”

”Ranked fourth is Tian Sha of the Tian Family. A cultivator of the Path of Slaughter, his sword technique is fierce, having killed seventeen Demon Emperors and thirty-seven Demon Kings.”

”As for the fifth, it’s Dracula of the Blood Clan from the Ancient European Country. He possesses a half-dead body, incredibly strong, having slain fifteen Demon Emperors and thirty-three Demon Kings.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong nodded slightly.

”Ranked fifth, having killed fifteen Demon Emperors. And I have only killed eight so far, still lacking seven. As for the number of Demon Kings, I’m also far behind; it seems I have to work even harder.” Lin Dong said.

After bidding farewell to the Dragon Country Warrior, Lin Dong continued on, heading to the Black Soil Plateau to hunt more demon beasts.

In two days, Lin Dong found himself in a tense and fulfilling rhythm.

He traversed the various corners of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, successfully hunting down two powerful Demon Emperors thanks to his keen instincts and superior martial skills.

One was a Three-star Demon Emperor, and the other a Two-star Demon Emperor.

The Two-star Demon Emperor was even killed through the control of a puppet by Lin Dong.

During the process of slaying the Demon Emperors, Lin Dong gradually explored the essence of battle against demon beasts, with each victory deepening his understanding of power.

Simultaneously, he became increasingly adept at controlling puppets.

Meanwhile, he didn’t cease his hunt for Demon Kings. With the latest Demon King vanquished, his total number of kills quietly reached twenty-eight.

This number is a lofty height that many martial artists find difficult to reach, but for Lin Dong, it’s just a small milestone on his road to the peak.

The ranking on the Five Elements Stele serves as a testament to Lin Dong’s strength, and with his continued efforts, his rank changed again, successfully promoting him to seventh!

This not only signifies his growing influence in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield but also brings him a step closer to the top five.

”I heard that Golden Spear Wilds is the section with the most demon beasts, so next, let’s head over there to hunt demon beasts.”

On this Black Soil Plateau, Lin Dong found it increasingly difficult to discover the traces of Demon Emperors and Demon Kings.

So he decided to head to the Golden Spear Wilds, another section among the five major areas of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

With this honor and responsibility, it took Lin Dong less than a day, employing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, to enter the next section of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield—the Golden Spear Wilds.

This is an endless expanse of grasslands, upon which golden spears and iron horses seemingly echo the ancient battlefield.

However, beneath the beauty lies an endless crisis.

The Golden Spear Wilds, as the most demon beast-concentrated area among the five major sections of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, is predictably dangerous.

Here, the sky is no longer a tranquil blue but is frequently torn by sudden dark voids, which appear as gateways to another world, where being caught means even a Heavenly Realm powerhouse may find survival impossible.

Lin Dong treaded carefully across this grassland, every step filled with vigilance because he knew each place might conceal a deadly threat.

Aside from the dark voids, the Golden Spear Wilds also had many areas marked as Forbidden Places, often hiding more terrifying unknown forces.

Legend has it that stepping into these forbidden areas leaves even the most advanced martial artists struggling to escape unharmed, usually resulting in a narrow escape from death.

Although curious in his heart, and indeed capable of fleeing even from a Secondary Ancestor, Lin Dong knew the importance of being aware of one’s own limitations.

He chose to bypass these Forbidden Places, continuing deeper into the grassland to find his targets.

Those Demon Emperors and Demon Kings hidden in the depths of the grassland!

Lin Dong stood beneath the vast night of the Golden Spear Wilds, a gentle breeze rustling the grass in waves, as if even nature was holding its breath for the upcoming storm.

His gaze pierced the night, utilizing the odd power of the Eye of Insight, cutting through layers of mist to lock onto a seemingly ordinary but perilous cave not far away.

Therein lay the den of three demon beasts, a place Lin Dong hadn’t anticipated in his journey.

Inside the cave, the dim light of fluorescent stones cast a ghostly blue glow, illuminating the massive figures of three lion-like demon beasts.

Two were Three-star Demon Emperors, strong and majestic, emitting a faint demonic aura, eyes exuding an unyielding majesty.

And the Nine-Star Demon King, albeit slightly smaller, was shrouded in more intense demon essence fluctuations, evidently at the brink of ascending to a higher realm.

They nestled together, their gazes holding familial warmth, mingled with a chilling killing intent directed at the intruder.

When Lin Dong’s silhouette appeared at the cave entrance, the tranquility was instantly shattered.

The voice of the Mother Demon Emperor, sharp as cold ice, pierced the night sky, reaching Lin Dong’s heart door: ”Very well, Human Martial Artist, your arrival will be the best offering for my child’s path to promotion.”

Her words carried irrefragable determination, as if Lin Dong’s fate was already in her grasp.

Confronting this sudden crisis, Lin Dong showed no hint of panic.

He understood well that before an absolute disparity in strength, any act of panic is in vain.

Instead, his gaze became more resolute. Although he was a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, the breath he exuded at that moment was in no way inferior to theirs.

”Hmph, regarding me as prey, perhaps you are overly confident.” Lin Dong sneered, unmoved, yet an unseen momentum quietly permeated the surroundings.

He had even fought against a Secondary Ancestor; although not victorious, he had escaped safely. Why fear these three demon beasts?

At this moment, he summoned three puppets.

The three puppets, with strengths respectively of First Heaven, Second Heaven, and Third Heaven, stood in order.

Lin Dong simultaneously controlled them, advancing upon these three demon beasts.
