Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2678: Chapter 2677: The Puppet of the Junior Patriarch Level!

With Lin Dong’s decisive strike landing, the guardian beast puppet of Fourth Heaven strength fell heavily to the ground, dust rising, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

This colossal figure that made other challengers recoil was now quietly lying at Lin Dong’s feet, having lost its former majesty and power.

Lin Dong stood in the original location, still catching his breath, yet his eyes sparkled with an excitement and thrill difficult to conceal.

He knew well that this victory was not merely a simple win, but also a path leading to treasures of higher realms.

Just as he was about to step forward and examine the spoils, a strange light slowly overflowed from within the puppet, gradually gathering into a radiant beam, shooting straight up to the sky.

"This is..." Lin Dong’s heart moved, and soon he saw within the beam, a more exquisite yet equally formidable guardian beast puppet slowly forming.

Compared to the earlier Fourth Heaven puppet, this newly emerged puppet was somewhat smaller in stature, but every inch of its skin seemed to hold the weight of mountains and the brilliance of stars. Though its aura was not as overwhelming as the predecessor, it reached the astounding realm of the Third Heaven.

"A guardian beast puppet of Third Heaven!" Lin Dong was overjoyed, surely the challenges and rewards here were as he guessed.

Defeating the guardian beast puppet of Second Heaven would grant a puppet of First Heaven strength. And defeating the Third Heaven would reward a puppet of Second Heaven... and so forth.

Now, Lin Dong had acquired three puppets! And each stronger than the last!

At the moment, he gradually walked towards the Third Heaven puppet, extending his palm, gently touching its cold metal surface.

Instantly, an information torrent flooded his mind, detailing the control methods and combat techniques of this puppet.

Lin Dong closed his eyes, concentrating, quickly digesting the information.

Even he couldn’t help but feel exhilarated at this moment.

Meanwhile, he retrieved the other two guardian beast puppets and arranged them side by side.

"From now on, you shall be my left and right arms, Lin Dong, as we embark on adventures in the Dragon Country Martial Arts World, witness countless miracles, and leave countless legends." Lin Dong silently vowed in his heart, as he felt the surge of Inner Qi within, seemingly cheering for the addition of this new power.

Just as Lin Dong prepared to explore further in this second Earth Dragon Treasure Vault, seeking more opportunities, a low rumble emanated from the depths of space, as if something larger was stirred by his actions.

Lin Dong frowned slightly but quickly regained his composure.

He knew the next battle was about to arrive.

No time to marvel at the victory of the third battle, the fourth battle’s guardian beast puppet, likely possessing the strength of the Five Heavens, was about to make its entrance.

First, a set of heavy footsteps broke the surrounding silence, as if even the space trembled.

He abruptly looked up to see an enormous figure slowly emerge from the depths of the ruins, his unexpected encounter—the guardian beast puppet of Five Heavens strength.

This puppet was enormous, far exceeding anything seen before, surrounded by dense energy fluctuations, as if spiritual power throughout the heavens and earth were converging onto it.

Its eyes gleamed dark blue, deep and indifferent. Just a mere exchange of looks made Lin Dong feel unprecedented pressure—a shock and fear from deep within the soul.

"Sub-Ancestor level momentum..." Lin Dong was secretly shocked. Though he’d previously been fortunate enough to meet Yun Che and other strong Sub-Ancestor level figures, those seniors were always amiable to him, never truly unleashing their full pressure.

Yet now, facing the Five Heavens puppet, the unreserved and terrifying momentum made him feel like he was in the center of a storm, every breath turned extremely challenging.

Nonetheless, Lin Dong’s eyes showed no hint of retreat; instead, they burned with even fiercer battle intention.

He knew well that facing such a formidable enemy, retreat would only plunge oneself deeper into despair.

In his dictionary, there never existed the word "retreat."

"Come, let me see just how terrifying a Five Heavens strength presence is." Lin Dong murmured quietly, his voice small yet full of determination and defiance.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and the Inner Qi within his Dantian surged wildly as if about to break the body’s constraints to contest the Five Heavens puppet.

With a low shout from Lin Dong, his figure shot up, like an arrow off the string, rushing towards that colossal figure.

The Third Heaven guardian beast puppet closely followed, both fighting side by side.

The battle erupted instantly, changing the color of the world.

Lin Dong and his Third Heaven guardian beast puppet were in the eye of the storm.

Faced with the Five Heavens guardian beast puppet, though the pair joined forces, they still seemed powerless.

The massive figure’s roar echoed like thunder, distorting space wherever the sound waves reached.

The Third Heaven guardian beast puppet was powerless to resist this force, swept up like a leaf, then heavily reversed flying out, crashing onto the ground nearby, stirring a cloud of dust.

Its body’s surface showed obvious cracks, the light dimmed, clearly critically injured.

As for Lin Dong, thanks to his crucial moment deployment of the Dragon Blood Holy Body’s Reverse Scale Transformation’s Limitless Transformation, his body surface was covered by a radiant layer of dragon scales, emitting a faint glow, dissipating most of the impact force.

Even so, he could still feel the terror of that force, his heart filled with dread.

"I can’t let it continue fighting. Otherwise, if it’s truly broken, wouldn’t this hard-earned reward be wasted?" Lin Dong secretly said, his gaze flickering with resolve.

He knew well that continuing to fight recklessly, not only would it be impossible to win, but it might cost the Third Heaven guardian beast puppet.

Having acquired it only to see it destroyed, Lin Dong was naturally reluctant.

Without any hesitation, Lin Dong swiftly formed seal gestures, his hands tracing complex trajectories in the air, with a low shout: "Return!"

The Third Heaven guardian beast puppet’s figure suddenly blurred, then transformed into a stream of light, being absorbed into the Dragon Ring on his finger, returning to the Dragon Ring Space.

With the Third Heaven guardian beast puppet’s retreat, only Lin Dong and the Five Heavens guardian beast puppet remained facing off on the battlefield.

Lin Dong stood alone, surrounded by the unique Limitless Transformation glow after the Dragon Blood Holy Body’s Reverse Scale Transformation.

"Since there’s no escape, let me see how big the difference between us truly is!" Lin Dong said to himself, then moved his shape to take the initiative in attacking.

He roared with fist wind, each strike contained the powerful strength of the Dragon Blood Holy Body, attempting to contend with this enormous figure using physical strength.

However, just as Lin Dong predicted, although his physical strength under the Limitless Transformation was strong enough to barely compete, in other aspects, especially speed, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

The guardian beast puppet’s two pairs of wings unfolded from its back, like lightning, with each flap bringing incredible speed, causing Lin Dong’s attacks to repeatedly miss, even forcing him to escape tirelessly from its counterattacks.

"Body Technique Ancient Martial, Phantom Tracing Step!" Lin Dong’s heart tightened, immediately using his body technique martial arts, trying to make up for the speed gap.

His body moved like ghost apparitions, leaving streaks of afterimages, yet even so, the guardian beast puppet could still tightly pursue, its speed nearly surpassing Lin Dong’s imagination.

"This... how is that possible!" Lin Dong was shocked, he’d never seen such a fast opponent. Every clash felt like racing against time, a slight misstep could lead him to be completely broken.

"Sub-Ancestor level presence is indeed terrifying!"
