Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2542: Chapter 2541: The Second Trial!

As the deafening roar of the Five-Star Demon Emperor gradually faded at the edge of the blood-colored world, Lin Dong shook his head and stopped daydreaming.

Instead, he quickly walked towards the mysterious woman Luo Xue, who had just suppressed the formidable enemy with the Bronze Ancient Cauldron in an astonishing manner.

"Sister Luo Xue, what level of spiritual device is this Bronze Ancient Cauldron? How can it so easily suppress a Five-Star Demon Emperor?" Lin Dong’s eyes were filled with shock and curiosity.

He had never seen such a tremendously powerful treasure, and his heart couldn’t help but imagine infinitely.

However, facing Lin Dong’s inquiry, Luo Xue did not immediately answer.

She gently caressed the Bronze Ancient Cauldron, which had already calmed down and shimmered with an ancient luster, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Then she spoke in an indisputable tone, "This item belongs to our ancestor, incomparable to ordinary spiritual devices, and it does not belong to me."

With that, Luo Xue lightly waved her sleeve, and the Bronze Ancient Cauldron turned into a stream of light, disappearing into her palm as if it had never appeared.

Her face restored its indifference and calmness, as if the thrilling battle just now was merely fleeting scenery.

"Let’s move on," Luo Xue turned around, looking determinedly into the distance, where the blood-colored world became deeper and more unknown.

"This is only the first gate; although it looks perilous, it is actually the least dangerous among all the gates. The road ahead will be even more difficult. Only by passing these trials can we reach the legendary Blood Pool."

Luo Xue’s words carried an undeniable firmness and decisiveness, causing Lin Dong to involuntarily put away his curiosity and doubts.

He knew well that although this woman before him was mysterious and unpredictable, her strength and wisdom were beyond doubt.

Since she said so, the journey ahead would certainly be filled with the unknown and challenges.

Seeing this, Lin Dong helplessly spread his hands, a bitter smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

He quickly caught up with Luo Xue’s steps, the two walking one after the other, entering deeper into the blood-colored world again.

Lin Dong closely followed Luo Xue’s light steps, passing through the twisted space shrouded in blood-colored mist, each step seemingly on the edge of time and space, inspiring awe.

The surrounding scenery became increasingly eerie, the blood-red hue faintly revealing mottled shadows, like remnants on ancient murals, telling untold stories.

Finally, they arrived in front of a massive door surrounded by blood-colored light.

This door was unlike ordinary ones; it was wholly cast from an unknown blood-colored metal with faint blood-colored patterns on the surface, seeming to contain endless power and secrets.

On the door’s lintel were complex runes; each symbol emitted an unsettling aura, precisely corresponding to the patterns on the mysterious key obtained from the "Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao" nest.

"Be careful, don’t look at the patterns on the door," the mysterious woman Luo Xue reminded Lin Dong from the side.

However, it was already a bit late.

As Lin Dong’s gaze touched the mysterious pattern on the light door, he instantly felt a spirit force akin to destroying the world surging towards him.

He quickly mobilized his Mental Power to resist.

The Wuji Defense Temple reacted by rising, finally blocking that terrifying mental attack.

"Luckily, you are a Spiritual Power Cultivator above the 35th level, otherwise, just now, you would have died," the mysterious woman Luo Xue slightly relaxed seeing Lin Dong was okay.

Then Lin Dong quickly said, "What is this? It’s so terrifying! How do we pass through here?"

"This is a ’Gate of Spiritual Power,’ a terrifying existence formed when spiritual power reaches above the 50th level, condensing into a gate of spiritual power. Moreover, on this gate, there are many spiritual power imprints."

"If someone forcibly steps in here, they will encounter the attack of these spiritual power imprints on the gate. Even just looking at it can result in an attack."

"If you are an ordinary First Heaven Realm Martial Artist, you couldn’t possibly withstand the spiritual power imprint attack on this gate..."

Hearing this, Lin Dong gasped in cold air.

A existence of the 50th rank of spirit power was simply a ’heavenly’ existence to him right now.

The spiritual power level of that existence was far higher than Lin Dong. Two entire dimensions higher!

"This Gate of Spiritual Power can only be opened with this key. That’s why, before coming here, I had to first kill the Sealed Beast ’Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao’ in the blood-colored forest!"

While speaking, Luo Xue took out the key emitting a faint cold glow from her bosom; its shape was peculiar, as if formed by countless tiny soul fragments, exuding an otherworldly charm.

This key was the very one they obtained from the body of the Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao after slaughtering it.

At this moment, the mysterious woman Luo Xue handed the key to Lin Dong.

"And said, "Only those whose spirit power surpasses 35 levels can use this key to open the Gate of Spiritual Power."

"Lin Dong, take this key and open the door!"

After saying this, she threw the glowing key to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong caught the key and then gently aimed it at the lock on the door.

With a slight crack, the blood-colored door slowly opened, and an ancient and powerful aura rushed towards him, forcing Lin Dong to step back half a step.

"Sister Luo Xue, how do you know so much about the blood-colored world behind this Blood Gate?" Lin Dong asked, his heart full of doubt and curiosity as he looked at the slowly opening door.

He turned to look at Luo Xue, only to see a faint smile on her face, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Because our ancestor had been here." Luo Xue’s voice was gentle yet firm, as if endless ages and stories were hidden behind the words.

"The ancestor is the most legendary existence in the clan, having traveled and explored the unknown all his life, eventually discovering the secrets of this blood-colored world. That key is the guidance he left for the successors in hopes that someone might one day step in here and unravel all the mysteries."

"Who is your ancestor?" Lin Dong was deeply attracted by Luo Xue’s words and asked subconsciously.

He realized that the force behind this mysterious woman might conceal secrets even more astonishing than this blood-colored world.

However, Luo Xue just gently shook her head, a trace of imperceptible sorrow flashing in her eyes.

"Don’t ask too much, Lin Dong. Some secrets are beyond your reach for now. Even if I tell you, it won’t do you any good."

"So, don’t be too curious about me. And don’t be too curious about the force behind me. Sometimes, curiosity can kill people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong, although a bit unwilling, understood the deeper meaning in Luo Xue’s words.

He fell silent.

This mysterious woman clearly warned him not to be curious about her or the force behind her.

But instead, it only made Lin Dong even more curious!

"She is already so powerful; what kind of existence could her so-called ancestor be?" Lin Dong sighed deeply and bitterly smiled in his heart.

"It seems there are still many strong people in this world that I have never heard of."

However, this negative emotion only affected him for a moment.

He was still young, reaching the Heavenly Realm Martial Artist strength at just twenty-one.

And it was during the Age of Dharma End.

Then, given more time, let alone hundreds of years, Lin Dong was confident in catching up with the ancestor she mentioned, even within decades or over ten years.

"Let me cultivate for eighteen more years, and I dare to teach the heavens to change!"
