Chapter 2875: Chapter 2874: Seeking a Breakthrough
The clouds on the horizon seem even heavier, with faint thunder, foreshadowing the intensification of the storm.
Tian Sha and Blood Fool, at the moment, are surrounding the white-clothed Blood Monk from left and right, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.
"Lord Heavenly Corpse, let me face him first," Blood Fool spoke to Tian Sha, volunteering eagerly.
Tian Sha nodded.
"Whoosh~~~"
Blood Fool’s skin turned blood-red at this moment, with flames of defiance burning in his eyes. His figure shook as if he were an ancient ferocious beast about to break free, suddenly launching an attack on the white-clothed Blood Monk.
His fist wind was fierce, each strike containing enough power to shake mountains and rivers. However, in the face of such an offensive, the white-clothed Blood Monk appeared remarkably composed.
His figure was light, like willow fluff in the wind. Each dodge was just right, and his counterattacks were precise and lethal, seemingly able to perceive every flaw in Blood Fool’s movements.
The two only exchanged blows for a short moment, yet already surpassed a hundred moves.
Although Blood Fool’s offensive was aggressive, in front of the white-clothed Blood Monk’s seemingly ordinary yet unfathomable moves, he gradually appeared overwhelmed.
Finally, after an intense clash, Blood Fool was repelled by a powerful force, his entire body like a kite with a broken string, reversed flight, and heavily crashing to the ground, dust flying.
Blood Fool struggled to get up from the ground, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were without any hint of fear or retreat, exclaiming:
"Deserving to be ranked first on the Five Elements Stele, surely strong, today I, Blood Fool, have witnessed it."
The white-clothed Blood Monk ignored Blood Fool’s admiration; his vigilant gaze continuously swept around because he knew the real threat was not Blood Fool before him, but that space-integrated, ghost-like elusive Tian Sha.
"Boom~~~" At this moment, a huge sound broke the silence of the battlefield. Tian Sha, like a ghost apparition, appeared abruptly behind the white-clothed Blood Monk, his hand condensing a sharp blade flickering with icy light, directly targeting the white-clothed Blood Monk’s vital area.
This strike was identical to the previous one against Lin Dong, fast enough to astonish, as if the space was split in two.
However, facing this deadly strike from Tian Sha, the white-clothed Blood Monk did not appear flustered.
He quickly formed seal gestures with his hands, chanting softly, and a brilliant radiance erupted from his body, instantly condensing into a blooming golden lotus pedestal, securely shielding him within.
Tian Sha’s sharp blade hit the lotus pedestal, only the deafening metallic clash was heard, but unable to penetrate that layer of golden light shield.
"Good defensive power, but, it seems still a bit weaker than Lin Dong’s strongest defense. Since there’s a bit of difference, then I have a way to break it!"
Tian Sha confidently said.
The white-clothed Blood Monk put his hands together and slowly spoke, "Is that so, then try it."
"Boom boom boom~~" The two engaged in battle again, unable to easily determine the victor for now.
...
Meanwhile, deep underground beneath the battlefield, Lin Dong is using the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, hidden in endless darkness and silence.
He did not stray far from the battlefield but rather took advantage of this rare opportunity to attempt a breakthrough of his own limits.
Deep underground, he seemed to merge with the earth, feeling the earth’s pulse, each breath resonating with the surrounding soil and stones, his cultivation level quietly rising in this tranquility and focus.
And above the battlefield, the contest between the white-clothed Blood Monk and Tian Sha, and Blood Fool continues.
"I can only try, in this underground, to devour the Water Origin, and then try to reach Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven."
"As long as I can break through to Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, today, I can keep both Tian Sha and Blood Fool here."
Actually, after breaking open the ’Shura Blood Domain’, his self-preservation would be no issue.
After all, the white-clothed Blood Monk delayed Tian Sha and Blood Fool.
He could completely depart right now.
Even the white-clothed Blood Monk also secretly sent him a message, asking him to leave first.
The white-clothed Blood Monk said he also has a way to escape.
Lin Dong’s heart surged with a warm flow, filled with gratitude for this white-clothed Blood Monk, who helped him despite not having much acquaintance.
But Lin Dong was unwilling.
Simply fleeing pathetically is not Lin Dong’s style.
The losses suffered this time at Tian Sha and Blood Fool’s hands cannot just end like this.
Lin Dong is someone who always avenges himself. If this revenge isn’t carried out, finding Tian Sha and Blood Fool on this Extraterrestrial Battlefield would be incredibly difficult?
And if he didn’t kill them, they would become a huge obstacle on his future path of cultivation.
"I cannot just walk away." Lin Dong swore to himself, his gaze becoming determined and profound, "Today’s revenge, I, Lin Dong, will surely exact!"
Thus, he sent a message to the white-clothed Blood Monk again, "Senior, please help me again for half a day, today, I Lin Dong must break through to Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven and personally slaughter these two, to eliminate future troubles!"
Message sent, Lin Dong quietly awaited the white-clothed Blood Monk’s reply.
After a moment, a steady and powerful voice rang in his heart, "Okay, half a day, I can do that."
Lin Dong heard this, and his heart was settled.
He knew well how unfathomable the white-clothed Blood Monk’s strength was; since the other agreed, then he was confident.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, concentrated, and began mobilizing all the power within, preparing for an unprecedented breakthrough.
The world around him seemed to stand still at this moment, only the boiling spiritual energy within Lin Dong, like a river breaching its dam, surged immensely.
He felt the flow of every trace of spiritual energy, each breath seemed to resonate with the heavens and the earth, his soul at this moment, closely linking with this ancient battlefield, with this Extraterrestrial Heaven filled with challenges and opportunities.
Lin Dong understood that he had no time to wait for natural accumulation and sedimentation.
He must seize this rare opportunity to advance his strength as quickly as possible.
However, facing the huge bottleneck to the Third Heaven, relying solely on a breakthrough, not to mention in half a day, even in half a year, or even longer, would be impossible.
But fortunately, there is still "Water Origin"!
This is a precious origin power from heaven and earth, possessing the miraculous effect of helping martial artists break through bottlenecks and improve cultivation level.
But Lin Dong also knew the effect of origin power was not absolute; it’s affected by martial artists’ own state, cultivation accumulation, and the timing of use, among other factors.
He silently calculated in his heart, if according to the usual situation, he stayed at the Second Heaven peak long enough, with deep enough spiritual energy accumulation within, then consuming "Water Origin", he had at least a ninety-five percent chance to break through that bottleneck.
But reality was cruel; he hadn’t been at the Second Heaven peak for long, the spiritual energy within him was also not abundant, not yet reaching the optimal state.
If he rashly devoured "Water Origin" now, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck would drastically drop, possibly only around eighty percent.
This probability, for Lin Dong, was clearly not enough.
What he wanted was an absolutely certain breakthrough.
Therefore, he made a decision—to consume some rare herbs, to consolidate his cultivation level, improve the quality and quantity of spiritual energy within, to fully prepare for the upcoming breakthrough.
