After absorbing the earth energy from the three-star Demon Emperor, Lin Dong could clearly feel that his power had increased sowhat.
However, he still hadn’t moved from the early stage of the Second Layer Heaven to the mid stage.
Then, though the move from early to mid stage was just a small step, the energy required was imnsely vast.
Solely relying on the absorption of a three-star Demon Emperor’s earth energy clearly couldn’t accomplish that.
Subsequently, Lin Dong once again embarked on his journey on the Black Soil Plateau, with his target even clearer—seeking and hunting Demon Emperor and Demon King level beasts.
These beasts not only possessed formidable strength but also contained abundant energy and resources, making them the best ans for Lin Dong to enhance his strength.
In the depths of the Black Soil Plateau, Lin Dong moved like a phantom, silently shuttling between the mountains and forests.
Relying on his keen perception and excellent combat skills, he successfully hunted down one demon beast after another.
Each battle allowed him to beco more proficient in controlling puppets and deepened his understanding of combat.
Simultaneously, he also gathered experience from each battle, continuously boosting his power.
As Lin Dong kept increasing the number of demon beasts he hunted, his ranking on the Five Elents Stele in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield was quietly rising. Earlier, he had surged into the Top Ten on the stele with amazing speed, ranking ninth, catching many people’s attention.
And now, after just two days, his ranking had climbed again, securing the eighth spot!
This news quickly spread throughout the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, arousing widespread attention and discussion among everyone.
"This Lin Dong’s ranking on the Five Elents Stele has risen again! It seems he will start hunting demon beasts once more," soone exclaid.
Indeed, Lin Dong’s rise was astonishing, as if he had suddenly beco a new star in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield overnight.
"I estimate it won’t be long before he breaks into the top five," another person added.
Though this statent carried a hint of speculation, it also revealed recognition and expectations of Lin Dong’s strength.
At this ti, Lin Dong’s specific ranking on the Five Elents Stele and the number of demon beasts he had hunted beca the focus of everyone’s attention.
According to the records on the Five Elents Stele, Lin Dong currently ranked eighth and had already hunted seven Demon Emperors and thirty-nine Demon Kings! This achievent was enough to shock anyone.
It’s worth knowing that Demon Emperor level beasts were powerful, comparable to Heavenly Realm Martial Artists among humans.
Yet Lin Dong could, relying on his own strength, hunt down so many Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, which was enough to prove his strength.
"Legends say Lin Dong only had First Heaven strength. Oh my, it’s so shocking that soone with First Heaven strength could hunt seven Demon Emperors. And quite a few three-star Demon Emperors at that!"
"Your information is outdated. There’s news that Lin Dong has already broken through from First Heaven strength to Second Heaven strength. Now, he’s at Second Heaven strength."
"Having Second Heaven strength and being able to hunt so many Demon Emperors and Demon Kings is equally frightening!"
"I estimate it won’t be long before he breaks into the top five, right?"
"Top five? That’s sowhat challenging, as those in the top five are all monsters. Moreover, their strength places them as the top echelon below the Secondary Ancestor!"
"..."
On this Five Elents Stele, the Secondary Ancestor is not ranked. All are Heavenly Realm martial artists below the Secondary Ancestor.
And those in the top five are all the strongest under the Secondary Ancestor, in realms, all Heavenly Realm martial artists at the Fourth Heaven.
As for combat strength, they are all at the peak of the Fourth Heaven! Invincible below the Secondary Ancestor.
anwhile, on the other side, Lin Dong was still searching and hunting Demon Emperors.
This day, Lin Dong used the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, shuttling through the Black Soil Plateau.
His gaze was sharp like a hawk, scanning every possible corner, looking for those Demon Emperors and Demon Kings hidden in the shadows.
That evening, he arrived at the foot of a majestic snow mountain. The cold wind was fierce, the snow was pristine, and it seed as if even ti was frozen.
Just as Lin Dong was about to delve into the snow mountain for exploration, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
He swiftly turned, seeing a tattered and pale human martial artist desperately running towards him, closely followed by a one-star Demon Emperor, its eyes blood-red and fangs bared, clearly having marked this martial artist as its prey.
"Senior, save !" the man shouted towards Lin Dong.
At the sa ti, the Demon Emperor had already opened its bloody big mouth, ready to devour the person in one gulp.
"Stop!" Lin Dong shouted angrily, his figure flitting out like a ghost. Drawing his long sword, a flash of cold light ensued as he intertwined with the Demon Emperor.
Sword shadows flew, demon energy surged sky-high, and Lin Dong, relying on his overwhelming strength, found the Demon Emperor’s flaw after a few exchanges, piercing its heart with a single sword.
The one-star Demon Emperor fell to the ground with a thud, dissipating into a cloud of black smoke.
After rescuing the martial artist, Lin Dong discovered that the person was actually a fellow comrade. His strength was at the Earth Realm level, hailing from the Dragon Country.
The martial artist looked at Lin Dong, his eyes full of gratitude and reverence, his voice trembling: "Such a young Heavenly Realm warrior from Dragon Country, could you be the Lin Dong Lin Tian, who recently surged into the Top Ten on the Five Elents Stele at breakneck speed? That legendary existence with the mythical stature of a Ten Thousand Years Myth?"
Hearing this, Lin Dong felt slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected his reputation on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield to be so prominent.
Simultaneously, he heard the term "Five Elents Stele" for the first ti, out of curiosity.
"Five Elents Stele? What’s that?" Lin Dong inquired.
The martial artist steadied himself and began to explain the mystery of the Five Elents Stele to Lin Dong.
It turns out, the Five Elents Stele was a mysterious stone stele on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, recording the rankings of all martial artists who slaughtered demon beasts, using the number of Demon Emperors and Demon Kings killed as the standard.
The rankings on the stele would change every so often, and those able to enter the top ten were all exceptionally powerful.
"Oh? You just said I surged into the Top Ten at the fastest speed? What’s my current specific ranking?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
The Dragon Country warrior responded excitedly: "I previously heard you were ranked ninth! May I boldly ask, have you recently killed a Demon Emperor? How many Demon Emperors have you slain since entering the Extraterrestrial Battlefield?"
Lin Dong pondered for a mont before responding: "If I rember correctly, including this Demon Emperor before , it should be eight!"
"Ah? Eight, then your current rank should be beyond ninth. You’ve advanced by one more place, ranking eighth!"
"Incredible, you’ve actually climbed to eighth, and I estimate soon, you’ll reach the top five!"
"If you break into the top five, Lin Tian, you can head to the Five Elents Stele to receive a reward."
"Oh? There’s a reward, who distributes it?" Lin Dong asked curiously once again.
The Dragon Country warrior truthfully responded: "It’s the Five Elents Stele that distributes the reward. That stele is incredibly mysterious. As long as your ranking on the Five Elents Stele is within the top five, then head to the stele and drip a drop of fresh blood, the stele will reward you with a cultivation thod!"
"That cultivation thod is directly imprinted into one’s mind from the Five Elents Stele."
Hearing this magical occurrence, Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel intrigued: "It seems that the Five Elents Stele is quite remarkable. Once I reach the top five, I’ll head there."
"No, the top five is far from enough. What I want is to be number one! Once I reach the first place, I’ll go to the Five Elents Stele to claim the corresponding reward!"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Country warrior felt a sense of shock and simultaneously developed a deep respect.
