Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2638: Chapter 2637

As the Light Sword Intent within Lin Dong slowly flowed to the peak of the Third Layer, Lin Dong, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Aidan, and the other seven continued their steps forward, passing through the ancient and majestic Great Hall, heading into the unknown depths.

The faint light inside the Earth Dragon Palace dappled the path ahead, guiding them to the next destination.

Shortly, a breathtaking sight appeared before everyone: a massive Dragon Nest, like a naturally carved miracle, standing upon the earth, surrounded by a gentle dragon breath, majestic and mysterious.

In the center of the Dragon Nest, hundreds of crystal-clear Earth Dragon Eggs floated in the air, like stars adorned, emitting a soft and alluring light.

"Look! Those are Earth Dragon Eggs!" Greed and excitement sparkled in Aidan’s eyes, and he almost blurted out, "This is simply a heaven-sent opportunity. The value of an Earth Dragon Egg is comparable to that of a Semi Medicine King plant. If we can claim them all, our cultivation level will definitely soar!"

However, Lin Dong’s expression was unusually solemn. He gently shook his head, his voice firm and gentle, "Aidan, our purpose here is to explore the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, not to eradicate an entire race’s next generation."

"If we destroy a race’s future due to personal greed, it would go against the original intention of cultivation. Besides, although the Earth Dragon Clan is not human, they also have the rights to survive and reproduce. We shouldn’t become their natural enemies."

Aidan sneered as he heard this, "Lin Dong, you are too merciful. In this world where the strong are respected, being weak is the original sin. If you’re unwilling, I will take them myself."

With that, his figure moved, transforming into a shadow as he rushed straight toward those Earth Dragon Eggs.

At this critical moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the Dragon Nest, accompanied by a chilling pressure, the whole space seemed to tremble. A huge figure slowly emerged from the shadows, it was an Earth Dragon Emperor.

This Earth Dragon Emperor resembled an azure dragon. Its eyes, like the deep night sky, glimmered with icy and angry light.

"Who dares trespass on our clan’s Holy Land and plunder our clan’s future!" The dragon’s voice was low and majestic, each word resonating like thunder.

Aidan’s face turned pale instantly, now realizing how reckless and foolish his actions were.

He tried to retreat, but the powerful pressure had locked him firmly.

Even Lin Dong and the others did not expect that within the Earth Dragon Palace, there would actually be a Blue Dragon Earth Dragon Emperor!

Earth Dragons, when cultivated to the Earth Dragon King level, can already compete with human martial artists of the Heavenly Realm from one to five heavens.

At the level of the Earth Dragon Emperor, it is already an existence above the five heavens.

This Earth Dragon Emperor, although it was already old and past its peak state, being an Earth Dragon Emperor, its strength could also rival Heavenly Realm Martial Artists of the Five Heavens.

For someone like Aidan, the idea of it killing them seemed all too easy.

At this moment, within the Dragon Nest, the air seemed frozen, each breeze carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

Aidan’s greedy act was like casting a giant stone onto the calm lake surface, stirring up layers of ripples and alarming the sleeping guardian—Earth Dragon Emperor.

Its massive body, covered with hard scales, shone with a cold metallic luster in the dark, resembling a moving mountain, slowly appearing within everyone’s sight.

Its eyes, like two burning flames, fixed intensely on Aidan, filled with anger and disdain, seemingly intent on devouring him completely.

Aidan’s face instantly became pale as a sheet. Trembling, he wanted to retreat but found his feet as heavy as lead, rooted in place.

He knew he had committed an unforgivable mistake, yet at this moment, his remorse could not retract the Earth Dragon Emperor’s rage.

At this point, the Crescent Wolf Emperor promptly stepped forward, attempting to use words to quell the impending conflict. "Esteemed Earth Dragon Emperor, we mean no offense, nor do we intend to harm the future of your Earth Dragon Clan."

"Aidan’s actions were indeed reckless, but please give us a chance for explanation, allowing us to make amends."

However, the Earth Dragon Emperor’s rage was already uncontrollable, seemingly unwilling to listen to any explanations.

"Just now, I heard the words from that human kid. He kept saying he wants to devour the Earth Dragon Eggs of our clan. Why are you still defending him?"

Having said that, it opened its gigantic mouth, a powerful dragon breath instantly condensed into form, transforming into blazing flames rushing towards Lin Dong and the others.

Within the Dragon Nest, flames soared into the sky, fierce winds raged, the terrifying dragon breath of the Earth Dragon Emperor that fused the Path of Flames and Wind Technique headed toward Lin Dong and the group like an apocalyptic flood.

Facing this invincible assault, Aidan’s voice was filled with despair and fear, "It’s over, it’s over, we’re doomed. Against the absolute power of the Earth Dragon Emperor, our struggle is futile." His eyes hollow, seemingly surrendering all hope.

Even the Little Monarch Red Dragon expressed rare anger and helplessness, "Aidan, your greed not only harmed yourself but also implicated all of us. The Earth Dragon Emperor’s rage, can we really endure it?"

His words carried both blame towards Aidan and fear towards the Earth Dragon Emperor. Facing the Earth Dragon Emperor, could they still survive?

However, in this moment of life and death, the reaction from Lin Dong and the others was completely different.

They understood that escape was not a solution; only by giving everything could they find a chance of survival.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Tian Kong, and Red Dragon all unleashed their strongest defense, dazzling protective shields gathered around them, attempting to withstand the devastating dragon breath.

Unfortunately, the strength of the Earth Dragon Emperor far exceeded their expectations.

Those seemingly indestructible defense shields, under the impact of the dragon’s breath, crumbled like paper, collapsing instantly.

Amidst the scattering light, everyone felt a breath of death approaching, an unprecedented despair rising within their hearts.

At this critical moment, a miracle occurred. A dazzling golden light erupted from Lin Dong’s body, quickly spreading, transforming into a colossal ancient golden phantom Divine Palace, enveloping everyone tightly inside.

This Divine Palace emanated an ancient and mysterious aura, seemingly able to isolate all harm from the world.

This was Lin Dong’s Wuji Defense Temple!

"Boom～～"

The Earth Dragon Emperor’s dragon breath fiercely struck the golden Divine Palace, but like clay oxen entering the sea, it merely stirred golden ripples, failing to cause any damage.

Everyone felt a tremor around them, then calm returned, as if the storm outside was separated from them by two worlds.

"Lin Dong, you... you actually blocked the Earth Dragon Emperor’s dragon breath attack!" Aidan’s voice trembled, his eyes filled with both the relief of surviving the catastrophe and deep reverence for Lin Dong’s strength.

At this moment, he deeply realized how laughable it was to have ever provoked Lin Dong, to have once engaged him in battle.

Sadly, even after losing to Lin Dong before, he thought the gap in strength between them wouldn’t be too vast.

However, now he found that he and Lin Dong were completely the difference as vast as cloud and mud.

This strike, ten of him, Aidan, couldn’t withstand it!
