Chapter 448: Lin Dong's Battle, the Power of the Xuantian Hall!
On the platform, Lin Dong stood face to face with Teng Huo, one of the Five Overlords of Mang Mountain.
Teng Huo glanced at Lin Dong with a mocking expression in his eyes. "So this is the so-called Four Symbols Palace? Looks like you're out of options if you're sending a kid at the peak of the Death Profound Stage into battle."
"Flame Commander could rely on the Tiger Devourer Army's strength… but what external force can you borrow?"
"Why don't you find out for yourself?" Lin Dong took a deep breath, his expression gradually growing solemn. Then, to everyone's surprise, his skin began to shimmer like crystal.
Roar!
A deep, ancient-sounding dragon roar echoed from within Lin Dong's body. His bones seemed to writhe and shift, and a vast, never-before-seen force surged like a flood through his veins.
Bang.
Clenching both fists tightly, Lin Dong's pitch-black pupils turned razor-sharp. The power of the Primal Dragon Bone finally began to reveal itself.
Roar!
A clear dragon's cry erupted from Lin Dong's body, resounding across heaven and earth. Brilliant azure light cloaked his body, and with it, a powerful pressure spread outward.
"Dragon Clan martial arts?"
Teng Huo and the others were visibly surprised, though not overly concerned.
With a swipe of his hand, Teng Huo summoned an ancient stone pillar. On its surface, glowing Black Tortoise markings appeared, and a deep rumbling cry echoed faintly from within.
Though his words had been arrogant, Teng Huo didn't dare be careless. With the current score tied, Mang Mountain held no clear advantage.
He gripped the Black Tortoise Pillar tightly and suddenly launched it toward Lin Dong. A pillar of light, stretching thousands of feet high, erupted from the divine artifact and came crashing down on Lin Dong with terrifying force.
Seeing Teng Huo's fierce strike, Lin Dong snorted coldly. He stomped down hard, making the platform tremble. Azure light surged from his body as hundreds of glowing dragon patterns rose into the air.
Three hundred!
Three hundred Azure Dragon Patterns soared skyward—an incredible number. With Lin Dong's current level of strength, his mastery over the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art had grown even deeper. He could now summon three hundred dragon patterns on his own!
Boom!
Without a fancy move or wasted motion, Lin Dong stepped forward and threw a single punch. There was no flourish—only a mountain-shattering force behind it.
The air itself exploded under the impact, as the three hundred dragon patterns merged into a clawing, roaring azure dragon of light that tore through the sky and smashed straight into the descending pillar of light.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed across the plain as shockwaves rolled outward like a tempest. Even the land below was stripped layer by layer by the blast.
Countless eyes watched, faces heavy with tension. The clash had been nothing short of breathtaking.
The two figures clashed and then separated. Teng Huo's eyes flashed with vicious intent as he launched another strike with the Black Tortoise Pillar.
Lin Dong frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. Light gathered in his palm, and a miniature palace appeared—an object that radiated a strange and powerful aura.
This tiny palace was none other than the Xuantian Hall, ranked tenth on the Ancient Divine Artifact List!
Buzz!
As soon as the Xuantian Hall appeared, it began to hum. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a thousand feet tall. Its massive doors slowly creaked open.
The moment the hall doors began to part, the Black Tortoise Pillar's energy became unstable—chaotic waves rippling from it.
Seeing this, Teng Huo's face changed drastically, a strong sense of unease flooding his heart.
Boom!
The Xuantian Hall fully opened, and from within, ten thousand rays of light shot forth. As they passed through the great hall, they turned into countless chains of rainbow light, which shot out and coiled around the descending Black Tortoise Pillar.
Buzz!
The chains tightened, and the terrifying power within the pillar began to dissipate, as if being completely suppressed by these strange chains.
At the same time, a powerful suction force emerged from within the hall, and the pillar began to shake—struggling against the pull as it was dragged toward the palace.
The scene sent shockwaves through the entire crowd.
No one could have expected something this bizarre.
"You—!"
Seeing the pillar being drawn in, Teng Huo's face twisted. He poured all his strength into trying to call it back.
But it was no use.
Lin Dong formed a hand seal, and the glowing chains began to pulse, transforming into runes that flowed along the surface of the Black Tortoise Pillar.
At that moment, Teng Huo completely lost control over his weapon.
Whoosh!
In a flash, the pillar was pulled into the Xuantian Hall. Before everyone's stunned eyes, it disappeared inside as the palace doors creaked shut.
Click.
The radiant glow faded, and the massive palace shrank back to palm-size, landing quietly in Lin Dong's hand.
"Heh, much appreciated," Lin Dong said with a smile, flipping his hand and stowing away the Xuantian Hall. He looked at the stunned Teng Huo with a gleam in his eyes.
The entire plain fell into silence.
Even Teng Feng and the others in the back were dumbfounded—this outcome was simply too strange!
The Black Tortoise Pillar… was taken by Lin Dong just like that?
On the Four Symbols Palace's side, the Sky Dragon Demon Commander, the Golden Ape Demon Commander, and the rest were equally shocked—followed by overwhelming joy.
They hadn't expected Flame Commander's second brother to possess such terrifying methods. Though he relied on the Xuantian Hall, being recognized by a divine artifact was itself proof of his strength.
"Now then… it's my turn to attack."
Grinning, Lin Dong slammed a fist into the ground.
Boom!
A thousand-foot-long fissure tore across the platform, snaking like a giant serpent toward Teng Huo. In the next instant, azure light erupted like a volcanic blast, forming a massive dragon that lunged to devour Teng Huo.
Snapping back to his senses, Teng Huo frantically circulated his energy and spread his wings to dodge to the side.
Boom boom boom…
What followed was a brutal, head-on battle.
Though Lin Dong's cultivation level was lower, the power of the Primal Dragon Bone pushed his strength to an astonishing level, allowing him to fight Teng Huo evenly.
Bang!
Another heavy blow landed. With a loud thud, a figure was sent crashing violently to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
Everyone around the platform stared, eyes wide, holding their breath to see—who was it that had fallen?
