With Lin Dong’s words, the air was filled with a heavy and tense atmosphere.
The Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong, their eyes red and their bodies emitting overwhelming demonic Qi, were like creatures crawling out of the abyss, entirely disregarding their own injuries, only crazily attacking each other and considering everything around them as targets for destruction.
Their every clash accompanied by deafening booms, dirt and rocks flying everywhere, the entire battlefield seed like it was going to be torn apart by these two powerful forces.
Yun Ruoxian stood aside, her heart burning with anxiety. Her gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Dong and the two, her hands clenched into fists, nails nearly embedded in her palms, unable to ease her inner turmoil.
"Lin Dong, hurry up! If you don’t act now, it will be too late!" Her voice trembled slightly, filled with helplessness and despair.
Lin Dong’s eyes were slightly closed, the Inner Qi within him surging as if communicating with so force. Monts later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute light shining within them.
"Suppress!" Accompanied by this low shout, Lin Dong’s figure erupted like lightning across the sky, instantly intervening in the chaotic battle.
His hands quickly perford seal gestures, his body surrounded by faint spiritual light, each swing carrying the power of a tsunami.
However, even Lin Dong, facing two Second Heaven peak-level opponents who’ve beco demonic, dared not to be careless.
Their attacks were fierce and deadly, each move targeted vital points, making it hard to defend.
"It’s ti for that Third Heaven puppet to take the stage." Lin Dong considered in his heart, then flicked his fingers, and a rune flew from his palm, turning into a stream of light that shot towards a towering ancient tree.
As the rune touched it, the surface of the ancient tree flashed bright, and followed by a majestic puppet slowly erged from the tree’s shadow, taking each step as if treading on the void, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
The appearance of this puppet imdiately drew the attention of the Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong, causing them to cease their mutual combat and regard this unknown entity as a new threat.
As the puppet moved, it brought a montum like mountain-crumbling earth-shattering, directly entangling the Crescent Wolf Emperor, earning precious respite for its master.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Dong unleashed his full strength, and chains of Inner Qi flew from his hands like spiritual snakes, quickly binding Tian Kong.
Tian Kong struggled in vain, watching helplessly as Lin Dong approached step by step. Lin Dong activated the Eye of Insight, quickly discerning the abnormality within Tian Kong.
It was a mass of dense almost solidified dark Qi, continually eroding his mind and flesh.
Lin Dong placed his hands together and murmured incantations, a pure and powerful spiritual power surged from his palms, transforming into a beam of light that shot into Tian Kong.
With the cleansing of this spiritual power, the dark Qi began to churn violently, eventually being dispersed bit by bit under Lin Dong’s relentless efforts, and Tian Kong’s eyes gradually regained clarity.
Seeing Tian Kong saved, Lin Dong imdiately turned to the other side, repeating the sa thod, the sa process, successfully dispersing the dark Qi within the Crescent Wolf Emperor, restoring his sanity.
When the two finally regained consciousness, looking at everything before them, their eyes were filled with shock and gratitude.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Dong, for your help. We almost..." Tian Kong’s words carried a touch of fear, and the Crescent Wolf Emperor nodded silently, a complex expression.
If not for Lin Dong’s intervention, they would have estimated that they had already killed each other.
Lin Dong smiled slightly, waving his hand, indicating no need for gratitude, "Everyone are friends, helping each other is expected."
With Lin Dong’s help, the Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong finally escaped the demonic barrier. Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief and prepared to discuss further strategies, an anomaly occurred.
Two simultaneous dazzling and radiant white lights appeared on both, the light pure and sacred, carrying an irresistible force, slowly enveloping their forms.
"This is..." Lin Dong’s gaze tightened, a vague premonition rising in his heart.
Yun Ruoxian also looked stunned, clearly unprepared for this sudden change.
Tian Kong smiled bitterly, his gaze at Lin Dong carried a touch of resignation and helplessness.
"It seems that the demonic barrier was not accidental but a test for us. We failed the test because our montary greed caused us to lose our true selves." His voice revealed a hint of bitterness, yet also carried a sense of gratefulness, "But fortunately, thanks to you, Lin Dong, we survived. Although the test was not passed, we are fortunate to be alive."
Upon hearing this, the Crescent Wolf Emperor silently nodded, his wolf-like sharp gaze at this mont filled with gratitude and admiration.
He gave Lin Dong a deep look, his eyes carrying too many emotions, finally transford into a simple: "Thank you."
As the light steadily intensified, an unspeakable force began to surge around them, the space seed warped by this force, forming a portal leading to an unknown domain.
Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian could only watch with wide eyes, unable to take any action to prevent it.
"Take care!" Tian Kong’s voice echoed in the twisted space, carrying a hint of determination and reluctance.
Although the Crescent Wolf Emperor didn’t speak, his resolute eyes seed to say, "For the journey ahead, you all take heart. I wish you success in overcoming the challenges of the Third Stage and acquiring the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique!"
A flash of white light, and the silhouettes of the two instantly vanished beyond the portal, leaving only emptiness and silence.
Tang Yun and Yun Ruoxian exchanged glances, able to read the shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.
"They... just left like that?" Yun Ruoxian asked softly, her tone carrying both curiosity about the unknown and reluctance over her friends’ departure.
Lin Dong gently shook his head, his gaze deep. "This is part of the Third Stage test, even the slightest carelessness will result in being eliminated. Even life may be at risk!"
Yun Ruoxian nodded, she stood in the original location, gazing at the land that had witnessed fierce battle, yet now returned to tranquillity, feelings mixed.
If earlier, she had joined the scramble for the ’Earth Dragon Treasure Technique,’ then her fate would have naturally been the sa as the Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong.
"Thank goodness Lin Dong reminded . Otherwise, I would have been eliminated as well." Yun Ruoxian secretly said.
Tang Yun naturally held the sa thought, and at this mont, the two stood on either side of Lin Dong.
At this mont, Lin Dong was engaged in another task.
That is, recalling the Third Heaven puppet from earlier.
"Shoo～～" The puppet transford into a beam of light, summoned back by Lin Dong into the Dragon Ring Space.
And only now did the two won notice the puppet, both reacting simultaneously, recalling one thing.
