Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2372: Chapter 2371: Devouring

The potency of the Medicine King would be much greater in the future, and consuming it would significantly enhance Lin Dong’s strength.

But the problem is, Lin Dong needs to enhance his strength urgently now.

He doesn’t have years to wait!

So he immediately made a decision.

"Although harvesting it now is indeed a bit of a waste, I can’t wait any longer. I’ll pick it now and then consume it."

Lin Dong’s current strength is at the mid-phase of Tenth Stage Grandmaster. If he consumes this soon-to-mature Medicine King, he should reach the late stage of Tenth Stage Grandmaster.

He didn’t hesitate and directly picked the ’Purple Lightning Ganoderma.’

After picking it, he immediately consumed it and started refining.

The Sovereign Witch didn’t say anything; she also clearly knew that Lin Dong couldn’t afford to wait for years.

He has too many enemies now, surrounded on all sides. Only when his strength truly breaks through to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist can he ensure his own safety.

Otherwise, even with prodigious talent, it’s easy to meet an early death.

If the soul of Jianyu Thunder God was still alive, or if other members of the Jianyu Family saw Lin Dong’s actions, they would probably be furious enough to vomit blood.

This ’Purple Lightning Ganoderma’ had been cultivated by them for thousands of years. It was only a few years away from becoming a Medicine King.

Yet now, it has been picked by Lin Dong.

Such a waste of resources!

After Lin Dong picked the ’Purple Lightning Ganoderma,’ he directly consumed it within the shrine and began refining.

After consuming it, Lin Dong urged the Nine Shift Longevity secret to refine the energy within the Purple Lightning Ganoderma.

Soon, the Purple Lightning Ganoderma slowly dispersed, transforming into pure energy, and under the activation of the Nine Shift Longevity secret, it merged into the center of his Dantian along the meridians.

Refining herbs is much slower than the ’Devouring Technique’ devouring spirits and souls.

This process requires a relatively long time, probably taking about two days.

...

Meanwhile, in the outer world, the news that the Clan Chief Wrathful War God of the Jianyu Family was slain, and the Jianyu Family was nearly exterminated, was also spreading quickly.

The identity of Wrathful War God was quite special, as he was the War God of the Yinghua Country War Department.

Yet now, he was slaughtered!

Moreover, the Jianyu Family is one of the Four Great Shrine Families.

The Four Great Shrine Families hold significant status in the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World and are greatly respected by all martial artists in Yinghua Country.

Now, their Clan Chief was killed, almost all family martial artists perished, and the shrine there was also damaged. The Yinghua Country Martial Arts World couldn’t remain indifferent.

First, the Yinghua Country War Department sent many martial artist soldiers over.

A total of ten thousand martial artist soldiers arrived and surrounded the Thunder God Shrine.

The leader of these ten thousand martial artist soldiers was a retired War God from the Yinghua Country War Department.

He also possesses the strength of a Ninth Level Grandmaster. Before his retirement, he was the First War God of Yinghua Country.

Besides, he was also the instructor of the Wrathful War God during his time in the War Department.

His name is Hideo Watanabe, respectfully called ’Hero War God.’

Before his retirement, he indeed contributed greatly to the Yinghua Country War Department and also made a name for himself on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

However, the word ’hero’ can be seen differently by different people.

He might be a ’hero’ for Yinghua Country, but for the Dragon Country Martial Arts World, he is a criminal, for he once slaughtered many Dragon Country warriors.

The corpses of Dragon Country warriors who died by his hand could probably be piled into a mountain.

Now that the Wrathful War God of the Yinghua Country War Department is dead, and there are no other powerful War Gods, they invited this retired War God.

He led ten thousand martial artists to this place.

Besides the Yinghua Country War Department, other martial arts forces in Yinghua Country also showed up.

For example, the Yinghua Country Martial Union also sent people over. However, the Yinghua Country Martial Union is in decline now; they came just as a foil.

Besides the Yinghua Country Martial Union, two other shrines of the Four Great Shrines also sent people over.

The contemporary Clan Chief of the Amaterasu Clan, Amaterasu Well, personally led his team here with a thousand of the clan’s elite.

The contemporary Clan Chief of the Yagi Clan, Yagi Taichi, also brought over two thousand martial artists.

At this moment, Hideo Watanabe, Amaterasu Well, and Yagi Taichi gathered together.

Yagi Taichi asked Hideo Watanabe: "Hero War God, what’s going on exactly? Who is it that killed the Wrathful War God?"

"Almost destroyed the Jianyu Family?"

Hideo Watanabe said: "Based on our current intelligence, all of this was done by the Light Messenger of the Nine-Headed Society!"

"This person had previously gone to the Susa Family and extinguished the Susa Shrine."

"It seems that the outside world has severely underestimated his strength. He doesn’t seem to have only the strength of a First Heavenly Realm Martial Artist. This time, he came to the Jianyu Family and even slaughtered the Jianyu Wuji, the Old Ancestor of the Jianyu Family..."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Amaterasu Well and Yagi Taichi’s faces changed dramatically.

The two of them are clan chiefs of the Four Great Shrine Families, so they are well aware of Jianyu Wuji’s strength.

He was a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, but he was killed by the opponent?

The Light Messenger has hidden himself so deeply?

"What exactly does the Nine-Headed Society want to do?"

"They destroyed the Susa Shrine and now come to eradicate the Jianyu Shrine. Do they plan to annihilate our two shrines next?"

Yagi Taichi and Amaterasu Well naturally thought of this point.

Hideo Watanabe pondered for a moment and then said: "The Nine-Headed Society has great ambitions. It’s highly possible that they want to completely trample the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World beneath their feet."

"Speculating with an ambition perspective, I estimate they aim to annihilate the Four Great Shrines of Yinghua Country. Then they might forcefully recruit us. They want the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World to submit to their Nine-Headed Society."

He speculated on the goals of the Nine-Headed Society.

The other two also nodded in agreement.

They are all high-ranking figures, so their considerations were based on high-level perspectives.

Hence, they were filled with ambition conjectures!

"Where is the Light Messenger now?" Yagi Taichi asked again.

Hideo Watanabe, with a solemn expression, replied darkly: "Survivors reported he entered the underground shrine of the Thunder God Shrine. However, he hasn’t come out!"

"It’s unknown whether he directly died inside or simply hasn’t come out yet!"

"The Thunder God Shrine is filled with dangers. The Thunder God of the Shrine was also a Beast Tamer during his lifetime. There exists a Third-order Demon Emperor inside. Even if the Light Messenger has great strength, he likely can’t make it out. I suspect he must have perished inside," Amaterasu Well said.

As a Clan Chief of the strongest Amaterasu Clan among the Four Great Shrine Families, he naturally knew many secrets.

He was aware of such a secret that a Third-order Demon Emperor existed in the Thunder God Shrine.

"Let’s hope so!"

"If that Light Messenger comes out alive, there will be big trouble. Within our Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, who can handle him?" Hideo Watanabe said.

But just at this moment, suddenly, an elder survivor from the Jianyu Family came rushing in panic.

"Hero War God, and the Clan Chiefs of the Amaterasu Clan and Yagi Clan, something terrible has happened. The soul flame of our Thunder God Ancestor is extinguished!"

"The Thunder God Ancestor, his spirit and soul are destroyed!"

Boom!!

Upon hearing this news, all three were struck as if by thunder!
