Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2682: Chapter 2681: Earth Dragon Treasure Technique?

As the last wisp of illusion faded into nothingness, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze carrying a newfound firmness and composure.

He looked around and saw Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Tian Kong, and the Crescent Wolf Emperor also awakening from their respective trances. They exchanged a knowing glance, needing no words to understand that what had just happened was merely a minor trial in the third stage of the test.

"It seems we’ve all passed the trial of seduction." Yun Ruoxian parted her red lips slightly, her white robe more radiant than snow. Even after facing temptation, she maintained that transcendent and ethereal demeanor, as if she had just stepped out of a painting like a fairy.

Tang Yun wore a mischievous smile, patting the dust off her body, and laughingly said, "These seductive methods are child’s play to us. How could a true strong person be swayed by mere beauty?"

Her smile was full of confidence and defiance, irresistibly drawing others to her carefree spirit.

Tian Kong remained silent, but his eyes sparkled with a sharp gleam, as though contemplating what form the upcoming trials would take.

As a descendant of the Heavenly Clan and the Son of Heaven of the previous generation, such a test was nothing to him.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor let out a low growl, exuding a regal dominance.

"Mere beauty trying to seduce us? What an underestimation of our capabilities."

"Everyone, do not be complacent," Lin Dong said solemnly. "This seduction trial is just a prelude to the third stage, the real test lies ahead. We need to be more cautious."

The five of them nodded in agreement.

They knew the road ahead would be filled with unknowns and dangers, and the third stage would not be so simple.

Just then, the space around them began to warp suddenly, as a powerful wave of energy emanated from the void, as if something were being awakened.

"It seems that the real trial has begun," Lin Dong took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as a hawk, knowing that every step from here on out would be crucial; any carelessness could lead to being completely broken.

Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the surrounding silence, like the brightest star in the night sky, capturing everyone’s attention instantly.

The light originated from an ancient book that suddenly floated mid-air, radiating a gentle and mysterious treasure light, as if containing endless power and wisdom.

On the book’s cover, four large words were engraved in an ancient and vigorous script—"Earth Dragon Treasure Technique."

Each word seemed to contain the might of a dragon soaring through the heavens, eliciting awe in onlookers.

Being the most direct of the five, the Crescent Wolf Emperor’s eyes immediately flared with greed upon seeing this. He let out a low roar, and with a body as swift as lightning, lunged at the ancient book, laughingly shouting:

"Haha, Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, such a supreme treasure should naturally belong to me!"

His speed was so fast that before his words even finished, he had already reached out to grasp the ancient book.

However, just as the Crescent Wolf Emperor was about to touch the book, Tian Kong’s figure appeared beside him like a ghost apparition, both arriving beneath the book almost simultaneously.

Tian Kong wore a subtle smile, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness: "Crescent Wolf Emperor, aren’t you being too domineering? The Earth Dragon Treasure Technique is an unowned item, where does ’yours’ come from?"

With that said, the atmosphere between them instantly became tense, filled with a strong sense of aggression.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor’s eyes turned red, glaring at Tian Kong like an enraged beast. He suddenly swung a fist, accompanied by a howling wind, aiming directly at Tian Kong’s face.

Tian Kong was not to be outdone. His form flickered, easily dodging the attack, and simultaneously counterattacked with one palm, colliding fiercely with the Crescent Wolf Emperor’s fist in mid-air, producing a deafening sound.

The sudden change caught Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun standing by surprise. Initially just observing quietly, they couldn’t help but feel drawn into the tense atmosphere, internally contemplating whether or not to join the fray.

Yun Ruoxian looked at Lin Dong, her eyes carrying a mix of confusion and inquiry: "Lin Dong, why aren’t you stepping forward to fight for the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique?"

Lin Dong’s gaze remained fixed on the ancient book and the increasingly strange environment around it. He furrowed his brows and after a moment of contemplation, slowly said:

"Something about this doesn’t feel simple. How could the third stage, a crucial test in the Earth Dragon Palace, so easily allow us to find such a precious treasure technique? Moreover, the way this Earth Dragon Treasure Technique appeared is too sudden, without any sign, which is quite irrational."

Lin Dong’s words, like stones cast into a calm lake surface, stirred up ripples, foreshadowing an impending storm.

His words reverberated in the air, tinged with an almost imperceptible worry and unease.

The space, as if in response to his concerns, began to twist and tremble in a way that defied description, as even the most stable laws seemed fragile and unreliable at this moment.

In the midst of this chaos, the light emitted by the ancient book suddenly became extraordinarily bright, followed by the light seemingly gaining life, splitting into two beams of radiant light, like two meteors cutting through the night sky, which instantly dove into the bodies of the Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong.

At that moment, their expressions changed drastically, the originally clear pupils in their eyes quickly overtaken by a blood-red hue—the red was deep and eerie, as if transforming into darkness, fear, carnage, and coldness.

Their breathing became heavy, chests heaving violently, as if some ancient and powerful force within them was awakening, eager to break free and rampage.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor howled to the sky, his voice mixed with pain and fury, his body suddenly expanding, muscles bulging like iron, with faint green veins flowing under his skin—this was the urging of the wolf man bloodline, also a precursor to his loss of control over power.

He leaped at Tian Kong, his claws shimmering with a chilling light, determined to shred all obstacles before him to pieces.

However, Tian Kong was not willing to show weakness. In his eyes burned a fiery battle intention, yet also interlaced with a hint of madness.

His figure expanded into a shadow, engaging in intense combat with the Crescent Wolf Emperor. Their battle stopped being a contest of skills and tactics, turning into a pure clash of strength and will. Every attack was full force, every defense was with all effort, as if they intended to bring the other down to death.

Their movements were so rapid they were dizzying. Their forces were so strong they caused the space to tremble.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor’s claws tore through the air, leaving alarming cracks. Tian Kong’s fist wind howled with destructive power, blasting stones and withering all vegetation in its path.

In this smoke-free war, the two had completely turned into machines of carnage, deploying all skills and revealing all trump cards.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor unleashed his proud wolf man transformation, his body enormous as a mountain, strength enough to shake mountains and rivers. Tian Kong, meanwhile, employed his secret ultimate skill, surrounded by thunder and flames, as if the most violent elements of heaven and earth were at his disposal.

Yet all this madness and carnage did not bring them any joy or satisfaction. Instead, it made their eyes even emptier and more lost.

They seemed to be controlled by some invisible force, losing themselves, leaving only a primal desire for carnage.

Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun watched with their hearts pounding, trying to move forward and stop them, but the terrifying pressure emanating from the two made it impossible to approach.

They could only watch as the two inexorably tread towards the abyss of ruin.

"This... what exactly is happening?" Yun Ruoxian’s voice trembled, unable to comprehend the scene before them.

At this moment, even Tang Yun couldn’t help but look towards Lin Dong, hoping to get some explanation from his mouth.

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered as he speculated, "This might also be a form of trial!"
