Chapter 2769: Chapter 2768: Charging Up the Rankings!
Lin Dong finished teaching them the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation and the Three Thousand Sword Formation, so his task was considered completed.
There’s no need to keep accompanying them.
He also has his own matters to attend to.
"By the way, Senior Dugu, it’d be best for the War Department to equip each soldier participating in the team competition with a good sword."
"If the sword is better, the power of the Three Thousand Sword Formation will be even stronger."
Hearing this, Dugu Tian nodded repeatedly: "Okay! That’s no problem! The War Department has this kind of cultural foundation."
"By then, equip the five vice team leaders with five Spirit Swords. As for the others, equip them with top-quality Treasure Swords!"
The War Department attaches great importance to this War Department Competition, so they certainly won’t be stingy with these things.
They will pour all resources into meeting their needs!
Lin Dong nodded, then said, "Then I’ll disappear for two days for now, and I’ll return when the team competition begins."
"Hmm, hmm." Dugu Tian smiled and nodded.
Afterward, Lin Dong left this forest.
He certainly wouldn’t be idle during these two days.
He plans to go deep into the Green Wood Forest and kill some Demon Emperors and Demon Kings.
His target is directly pointed at the deepest area of the Green Wood Forest, where Demon Emperors and Demon Kings occupy the territory, also one of the best trial grounds to improve his Five Elements Stele ranking.
Lin Dong’s short-term goal now is to kill more Demon Emperors and Demon Kings in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, elevating himself to the first rank on the Five Elements Stele!
If he achieves the first rank, he will receive two rewards from the Five Elements Stele again!
Because the first place has an extra reward!
And the rewards of the Five Elements Stele are precious things. Even if it can’t compare to the ’Five Elements Origin Heart’, it won’t be too bad.
It might even surpass things at the Ancient Martial Level!
Existences surpassing the Ancient Martial Level, whether it’s attack type martial skills, speed type, or defense type, can serve as trump card level existences.
Even Lin Dong is quite tempted.
"Swish～～"
Lin Dong’s figure, like teleportation, disappeared from the original location, stepping into the depths of Green Wood Forest.
As Lin Dong stepped into the Green Wood Forest, the surrounding scenery gradually became dark and profound, dense leaves covering the sky, as if even time was swallowed by this ancient forest.
He took a deep breath, activated the Eye of Insight, a secret skill capable of penetrating fog and seeing the essence.
Under the illumination of the Eye of Insight, even the slightest movements within a thousand miles couldn’t escape his perception.
Suddenly, Lin Dong’s pupils contracted sharply, his gaze penetrated layers of soil, and locked onto an anomaly about eight hundred kilometers away.
Hidden in the depths of the ground, there lay a massive nest, within which a strong demon energy slowly spread, the unique aura of a Demon Emperor, powerful and ancient.
This discovery stirred Lin Dong’s heart, for common Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, even if they knew the Demon Emperor’s hiding place, often because of the terrain limitations, they’d be helpless.
But Lin Dong is different, he possesses the ultimate skill "Earth Dragon Treasure Technique", which grants him the ability to freely traverse underground, just like a real Earth Dragon, not only moving swiftly but also navigating complex geological structures at will.
Without slightest hesitation, Lin Dong quickly gathered spiritual power, his body gradually turning transparent, seemingly merging with the earth.
With a low hum, the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique was pushed to the extreme, Lin Dong’s figure instantly disappeared from the original location, transformed into a stream of light, swiftly heading to the distant underground nest.
In the dark underground, relying on his skilled mastery of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, Lin Dong avoided countless sharp rocks and intricate caves, moving so fast that even shadows couldn’t capture him.
Finally, within a nest composed of huge stones, he saw that Demon Emperor.
A Two-Star Demon Emperor named "Rock Lizard Emperor."
The Rock Lizard Emperor’s body was huge, clad in heavy rocky armor, each scale shimmering with metallic luster, its eyes like burning flames, exuding undeniable majesty and power.
It was lazily lying on a throne composed of countless precious minerals, surrounded by several loyal Demon Kings, evidently, this was its territory, and its kingdom.
It was sleeping, but suddenly realized that an outsider had intruded into its nest, immediately emanating an extremely terrifying brutal aura.
"Human, actually daring to intrude my Rock Lizard Emperor’s territory, seeking death..."
However, before finishing the sentence, suddenly sensed the strong and terrifying aura from Lin Dong, instantly stiffened.
The words just said suddenly halted, then switched to a different tone.
"Your... your aura, why is it so strong. Clearly just a Second Heaven human Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, how do you make me feel even scarier than facing a Three-Star Demon Emperor, and even Four-Star Demon Emperor?"
Lin Dong didn’t respond but said: "You don’t need to know."
"Coming here today, borrowing your life. To be a stepping stone on my path of growth, would you agree?"
Though it was a question, in reality, it showed no respect for the Rock Lizard Emperor’s opinion.
When saying the words ’would you agree’, he directly drew his sword!
"Sword One!" Lin Dong murmured lightly, the voice was gentle, yet contained irrefutable determination.
As the words fell, the Yangxin Sword suddenly appeared in his hand, the sword body glistening with a jade-like luster, seemingly containing some indescribable life force.
Now, Sword One in Lin Dong’s hand is no longer the dazzling ultimate skill it was at first sight but has transformed into a regular means of battle.
But this doesn’t mean its power has diminished; on the contrary, with Lin Dong’s strength enhancement, Sword One’s power has also increased, enough to face most formidable foes.
"Boom!" As the Yangxin Sword, carrying Lin Dong’s complete will and strength, cut through the air and directly struck the Rock Lizard Emperor, the entire underground palace trembled.
Sword light like a dragon, extremely sharp, directly cleaved the seemingly indestructible rocky armor of the Rock Lizard Emperor into two, along with its massive body.
In the Rock Lizard Emperor’s eyes flashed a note of disbelief and despair, it seemed it never imagined that it, the ruler Demon Emperor, would so easily fall in the hands of a human martial artist.
As its life faded, a rich energy burst from its body, the "Wood Energy" belonging to Demon Emperor, pure and powerful, one of the most precious resources in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
Without Hesitation, Lin Dong extended his hand, palm faced upwards, seemingly some invisible force guiding, the Wood Energy then slowly floated into his body, merging with his spiritual power, nourishing his meridians and dantian.
He could feel, as the Wood Energy was absorbed, his cultivation level slightly improved again. Of course, still in the mid-stage of Second Heaven.
With his slaughter of this Demon Emperor, the number of Demon Emperors slain by Lin Dong was updated on the Five Elements Stele.
From fourteen Demon Emperors previously, updated to fifteen!
Of course, his ranking is still in fifth place!
Because recently, the one in front, Dracula, is also continuously searching Demon Emperors and slaughtering them.
Now the number of Demon Emperors slain by him has reached seventeen.
Thus Lin Dong is still short by two Demon Emperors in number.
