Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2495: Chapter 2494: The Terrified Earth Spirit Beast

"It’s done!" Lin Dong opened his eyes, a gleam of excitement and joy flashing within them. He knew well that the birth of the Glazed Verdant Fire meant he had taken a solid step forward on the path of alchemy.

However, this joy didn’t last long, because at that moment, a series of low and angry roars echoed from the depths of the Earthfire Cave, causing the surrounding rocks to fall incessantly.

"Earth Spirit Beast?" Lin Dong frowned slightly, quickly identifying the source of the sound.

Moreover, he could sense that the Earth Spirit Beast was approaching him.

It seemed there was no need for him to seek it out; it was coming to him on its own!

The Earth Spirit Beast, a spirit beast born deep within the earthfire, contains within itself the Soul Stabilizing Bead, one of the three main ingredients for refining the ’Nirvana Pill.’

Lin Dong had entered this Earthfire Region with the intention of tempering his Alchemist Fire, and had originally planned to look for the Earth Spirit Beast. Unexpectedly, the birth of the Glazed Verdant Fire inadvertently attracted its attention.

"I haven’t even gone looking for you, and yet you come to me. Just in time to save some effort." Lin Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile, a decisive gleam flashing in his eyes.

He knew well that a battle with the Earth Spirit Beast was inevitable, but it was also an excellent opportunity to prove his strength and obtain the Soul Stabilizing Bead.

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive creature soared out from the depths of the earthfire. Its entire body was covered in scarlet scales, its eyes like torches—it was the angry Earth Spirit Beast.

It opened its bloody big mouth, a scorching wave of heat, mixed with destructive power, sweeping toward Lin Dong.

"This presence, not weaker than a First Heaven Realm Warrior among human martial artists!" Lin Dong quickly evaluated its strength.

At that moment, the Earth Spirit Beast had already begun to attack Lin Dong. It drew upon the surrounding earthfire, transforming into a series of fire dragons, charging at Lin Dong.

If Lin Dong was an ordinary martial artist, he clearly would not be able to withstand these fire dragons formed by the earthfire.

However, Lin Dong was evidently not an ordinary martial artist.

With a ghostly movement, Lin Dong dodged the attack.

At the same time, he waved his hands, and the Glazed Verdant Fire transformed into several verdant green flame dragons, roaring towards the fire dragons created by the earthfire.

The collision of flame against flame triggered intense explosions within the narrow space, firelight scattering, and heatwaves surging to the heavens.

Lin Dong used the flame dragons formed by the Glazed Verdant Fire to easily crush the fire dragons formed by the earthfire.

Witnessing this, the Earth Spirit Beast roared even louder and pounced towards Lin Dong.

The battle was on the verge of erupting.

Relying on his exquisite control of the Glazed Verdant Fire, Lin Dong engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Earth Spirit Beast.

Every attack he launched was imbued with his deep understanding and application of flame power; whereas the Earth Spirit Beast, relying on its formidable physique and innate flame resistance, continually counterattacked, attempting to drive Lin Dong into a corner.

However, how could Lin Dong be so easily defeated?

He stood amidst the vast Earthfire Region, surrounded by the continuous rolling of the earthfire, the scorching breath nearly tearing the air apart.

His gaze was like a torch, firmly locking onto the massive form in front of him—the Earth Spirit Beast, the overlord of this Earthfire Region. Its entire body was covered in tough scales sculpted by time and earthfire, each scale gleaming with a metallic cold luster, a result of being tempered by the earthfire for years. Its physical defense was enough to daunt any creature daring to invade its domain.

"Come on, let me see just how strong your physique really is!" Lin Dong roared in a low voice, his inner Qi blood boiling, waves of immense power surging around him.

He intended to contest the Earth Spirit Beast in terms of physical defense!

This was something human martial artists dared not imagine!

No one could match their physical strength against an Earth Spirit Beast at the same Heavenly Realm level!

Others of the same level among human martial artists either relied on Ancient Martial Arts or even Super Ancient Martial Arts to defeat it, or simply escaped using speed.

Yet, Lin Dong directly invoked his physical strength, seeking to confront it head-on and vie for supremacy.

Slowly, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them. In his pupils, Thunder Light intertwined with Water and Fire, heralding the imminent revelation of his years of arduous cultivation in the ’Thunder-Water-Fire Tri-Transformation’ of the Heavenly Boundary Dragon Blood Holy Body.

"Heavenly Boundary Dragon Blood Holy Body!"

"Thunder-Water-Fire Tri-Transformation!"

Lin Dong directly activated the Heavenly Boundary Dragon Blood Holy Body, then used the Thunder-Water-Fire Tri-Transformation to elevate his physical strength to its utmost limit.

With Lin Dong’s thought, his body seemed to be reshaped by an invisible force, fine thunder patterns appearing on the surface of his skin. Followed by flames and water flow swirling within him incessantly, the three elements perfectly fused together, forming a unique state of dual defense and attack.

These three attribute powers, covering the dragon scales formed by the Dragon Blood Holy Body, made him appear invincible, like a Heavenly God descending to earth!

"Boom!"

Lin Dong took a step forward, the ground seemingly unable to bear the terrifying weight, collapsing with a boom. He charged at the Earth Spirit Beast like a descending Thunder God.

The Earth Spirit Beast, seeing this, a trace of surprise flickered in its eyes, then it roared angrily, its massive body suddenly shivering, releasing a more intense earthfire light in an attempt to withstand Lin Dong’s attack with its body.

However, at the moment of contact, the Earth Spirit Beast’s prideful physical defense, under Lin Dong’s "Thunder-Water-Fire Tri-Transformation," was like paper, easily ripped apart.

Lin Dong’s fist, carrying destructive power, directly pummeled into the Earth Spirit Beast’s abdomen, emitting a deafening boom.

This scene utterly shocked the Earth Spirit Beast.

It had never imagined that in the same rank, a human’s physical body could surpass its own. This power was simply defying the heavens!

Anger and reluctance intertwined in its heart, it howled to the sky, the sound filled with unwillingness and despair.

At this moment, the Earth Spirit Beast revealed another of its innate gifts—Soul Power Manipulation.

Its eyes suddenly became profoundly deep, waves of invisible soul power surged out from its body, swiftly weaving into a giant Illusionary Net, attempting to trap Lin Dong within it.

However, how could Lin Dong be a person to be underestimated?

His prowess wasn’t limited to just physical strength; he was also an unfathomable Mental Power Monk.

Facing the Earth Spirit Beast’s soul power attack, he smiled coldly, swiftly forming seal gestures with his hands, a sharp and unmatched Sword of Spiritual Power condensing at his fingertips. Then, he swung it fiercely, slashing directly at the Illusionary Net.

"Tzzzzzz——" with a light sound, the Illusionary Net shattered like fragile glass, the Earth Spirit Beast’s soul power attack easily sliced apart by Lin Dong’s Sword of Spiritual Power.

At that moment, the Earth Spirit Beast finally realized that this human before it, not only had a formidable body, but his mental strength also far exceeded its own. It wasn’t a match at all.

Fear and despair surged in its heart, the Earth Spirit Beast no longer dared to linger in battle. It let out one last mournful howl, turned to flee, and dashed toward a hidden cave deep in the earthfire.

There, lay its final refuge, its only hope.

And Lin Dong stood in his original location, watching the direction the Earth Spirit Beast fled, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Trying to escape now? Isn’t it too late?"

"Since you want to die in your own lair, then, let me fulfill your wish!"

Lin Dong let out a cold laugh, quickly pursuing after it.
