Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2893: Chapter 2892: Devouring Tian Sha

”Tian Sha, it seems that your true self is not as formidable as you claimed. You’re actually too scared to come.”

”Looks like it’s time to send you off.”

Lin Dong said as he stepped toward Tian Sha, one step at a time.

Seeing this scene, Tian Sha showed a look of terror.

He had already recovered quite a bit thanks to the ’Replenishing Essence Pill’ that Lin Dong had given him earlier.

However, the recovered Essence Qi was far from enough to break his bindings. Seeing Lin Dong approaching, his face turned extremely ugly.

He knew that his time to die was near.

”Lin Dong, just wait for me, give me two more days. Just two more days, and my true self will definitely come...”

But before he could finish his words, Lin Dong shook his head and said, ”I don’t have time to wait here any longer.”

”I’ve already given him enough time. Since he won’t come, there’s nothing more to say.”

”Alright, time to go.”

Saying this, Lin Dong placed his hand on Tian Sha’s head.

Then, he executed the ’Devouring Technique’.

After the technique was applied, Tian Sha was horrified to find that the Inner Qi and Blood Essence he had painstakingly recovered were all transformed into streams of ’dark energy’, flowing into Lin Dong’s body.

At this moment, he finally understood something.

”I... I finally understand; the reason you fed me that Replenishing Essence Pill was to fatten me up, only to devour me later.”

Realizing this, he was filled with endless regret.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered to recover his Inner Qi and Blood Essence. Otherwise, wasn’t this just making Lin Dong a wedding dress?

Before dying, he even became his ’nourishment’!

Abhorrent, this is truly abhorrent.

Lin Dong did not respond to his words but continued to absorb the Inner Qi and Blood Essence within him.

Clearly unwilling to be Lin Dong’s wedding dress, Tian Sha struggled desperately, trying to break free from Lin Dong’s devouring.

However, once the Devouring Technique is executed, how could he easily break free?

Moreover, he was originally restrained by Lin Dong’s prohibition, so naturally, he couldn’t possibly escape. He could only watch helplessly as his Inner Qi and Blood Essence were transformed into energy and devoured by Lin Dong.

As his Inner Qi and Blood Essence were continuously absorbed, Tian Sha’s life energy was also slowly disappearing.

His body became increasingly weak.

Finally, about an hour later, he completely perished.

Furthermore, his body turned into a bag of bones!

This kind of situation is usually only seen after those from their Blood Clan absorb others’ fresh blood.

However, now, he himself ended up like this.

He had absorbed the fresh blood of countless human martial artists, resulting in this fate for them. He estimated even he himself did not expect, in the end, his own fate would be like this as well.

And to be devoured by a human to boot!

As Lin Dong assimilated all the Inner Qi, Blood Essence, and Life Energy of Tian Sha into energy and absorbed it into his body, he quickly activated the ’Devouring Technique’ to direct that energy into the center of his Dantian.

Countless energies flowed through his Meridians and Acupoints into his Dantian.

Beginning to enhance his Spirit and Soul!

Lin Dong’s strength advanced from the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, resulting in earth-shattering changes in the center of his Dantian.

Previously, there were three Spirits and Souls here. However, those Spirits and Souls were not particularly lofty and grand.

But now, the Spirit and Soul within the Dantian appeared as if the Law of Heaven and Earth, lofty and grand, exuding infinite pressure.

Currently, all the energy devoured was merging into those three Spirits and Souls, strengthening them.

The three Spirits and Souls grew increasingly solid, more and more lofty and grand.

Yet, even so, Lin Dong’s strength still remained only at the Early Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven!

Reaching the Mid Stage would require extremely immense energy.

It’s impossible to achieve merely by devouring the Inner Qi and Blood Essence of ’Blood Fool’ and Tian Sha.

Of course, perhaps devouring a Secondary Ancestor would be enough to accomplish it!

”The energy needed is simply too terrifying. Right now, even one Medicine King is insufficient to allow me to break through from the Early Stage to the Mid Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven!”

”And how rare are such Herbs as the Medicine King?” Lin Dong lamented.

With his increasing strength and knowledge, he also became aware that besides ’Heavenly and Earthly treasures,’ there exists an even higher level than the ’Medicine King.’

That’s the true Divine Medicine!

Rumor has it some Divine Medicines can even have the effect of bringing the dead back to life!

No need to refine them into special Dan medicines to achieve it!

Some Divine Medicines can even help Heavenly Realm martial artists below the Five Heavens directly break through a realm without bottleneck.

You could say they’re even rarer than Origin Power’s existence!

However, real Divine Medicines are extremely rare.

They require at least a thousand years of age! And must belong to the category of ’Heavenly and Earthly treasures.’

Heavenly and Earthly treasures over ten thousand years old are exceedingly rare, akin to Lin Dong’s Mythical Figure of Ten Thousand Years stature.

Of course, between the Medicine King and the Divine Medicine, there’s also the ’semi-god medicine.’

The so-called semi-god medicine has greater efficacy than the Medicine King but still falls significantly short of true Divine Medicines.

Just like the gap between Semi Medicine King and Medicine King!

And the so-called semi-god medicine is the ’Heavenly and Earthly treasures’ between eight thousand to ten thousand years; this is also an incredibly rare kind of Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

”Improving cultivation level in the future will become increasingly difficult. To solely rely on devouring ’Heavenly and Earthly treasures,’ to advance from the Early Stage to the Fourth Layer Heaven would require devouring a true Divine Medicine.”

”If it’s a semi-god medicine, it can only help me go from the Early Stage to the Late Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven! It’s uncertain to even reach the Peak!”

”As for the Medicine King, it’s even tougher. It would take two Medicine Kings to allow me to reach the Mid Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven. Five Medicine Kings are needed to break through to the Late Stage. As for reaching the Peak, about eight Medicine Kings would be required...”

”The thought alone is enough to make one’s head ache.”

This is relying on Heavenly and Earthly treasures!

If relying on the Devouring Technique, it would require devouring one Secondary Ancestor to advance from the Early Stage to the Mid Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.

The Devouring Technique, however, has a downside that it cannot be used continuously.

Of course, since he is currently in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, where demon beasts possess Five Elements Energy, he has another fast method for improvement by continuing to hunt demon beasts.

However, the number of demon beasts needed to hunt is shockingly terrifying.

To strike the quantity of demon emperors required, at least twenty would be necessary to break through from the Early Stage to the Mid Stage of Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.

As for breaking through to the Peak, a hundred demon emperors! That many demon emperors, too difficult!

Even the top-ranked in the Five Elements Stele, the White-clothed Blood Monk, has only hunted thirty-one demon emperors over the years.

As for Lin Dong, though he’s the fastest to reach second in the Five Elements Stele, currently, the number of demon beasts he’s hunted is only twenty-four!

That means, even if he doubles the number, devouring the Five Elements energy within those demon emperors would only allow him to progress from the Early to the Mid Stage of the Third Layer Heaven.

But hunting another twenty-four is extremely difficult.

Demon emperors are also incredibly rare and hard to find.

The more Lin Dong pondered, the more daunting the thought of improving his cultivation level became.

At that moment, suddenly, after he devoured everything from Tian Sha, some insights into the ’Space Dao’ unexpectedly emerged in his consciousness.

”Oh? There’s an unexpected surprise!” Lin Dong’s eyes lit up.
