Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2543: Chapter 2542: Phantom Beast

Just as Lin Dong was lost in his thoughts, the mysterious woman Luo Xue looked towards the world behind the gate of spiritual power.

Afterward, she continued to say:

"Very well, we have now passed two stages. Three more to go, and we will reach the ultimate goal."

"Let’s continue deeper inside." After saying this, she took the lead and moved forward.

Lin Dong nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Luo Xue into the world behind that gate of spiritual power.

The scene behind the door was shocking, a vast blood-colored plain unfolded before them, with giant blood-red clouds floating in the sky, and the ground made of a strange blood-colored crystal reflecting a sinister glow.

In the distance, ancient architectural ruins loomed faintly, appearing particularly solemn and mysterious amidst the blood-red hue.

"It seems our journey has just begun. What lies in this stage?" Lin Dong looked at the unknown world with a mix of trepidation and anticipation in his heart.

Luo Xue spoke, "This is an illusionary world, all of it is fake. Like a mirage."

Lin Dong was taken aback and quickly activated the Eye of Insight.

Under the observation of the Eye of Insight, Lin Dong indeed saw through this false world, seeing its true nature.

Within the Eye of Insight’s observation, this space was completely stained with blood-red. None of the structures seen before were there, only skeletons lay beneath the ground.

"Surely an illusion, what a masterful illusionary world. Even I, as a Level thirty-six and a half mental power cultivator, couldn’t tell at first glance." Lin Dong couldn’t help but say.

"Let’s go, find the formation eye here, and only by breaking its formation eye, can we escape this blood mist illusion." The mysterious woman Luo Xue said with a frown.

Afterward, she took the lead and stepped into this blood mist illusion.

Lin Dong nodded and followed closely in the mysterious woman Luo Xue’s footsteps, delving into this strange world stained with blood-red.

Their every step seemed to tread on the edge of the unknown and danger.

As the scenery ahead blurred, they were suddenly surrounded by a dense blood mist, which was the legendary third stage—the blood mist illusion.

Blood mist moved slowly around the two as if alive, gradually isolating their vision and perception. Everything around became unclear, with only that vivid red mist standing out as the sole color between sky and ground.

Lin Dong attempted to disperse the blood mist with physical means, only to find it was like an invisible wall, impossible to penetrate despite his efforts.

"Sister Luo Xue, this blood mist seems unusual." Lin Dong turned to look at the woman beside him, seeing her brow furrowed as she evidently pondered a countermeasure.

"Indeed, this blood mist illusion tests one’s spiritual power. Only a strong enough mind can find the formation eye within this blood mist maze and find the way out." Luo Xue’s voice echoed in the blood mist, then she looked towards Lin Dong.

"So for this formation, we must rely on you. Only your spiritual power can capture that formation eye!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a stir in his heart, then closed his eyes to focus, began mobilizing his mental power of Level thirty-five and a half.

As the spiritual power surged, he seemed to sense the faint fluctuations hidden within the surrounding blood mist, the foundations upon which the illusion was built.

He concentrated as strands of spiritual power extended like fine threads, gradually weaving a massive web in the blood mist.

As time passed, Lin Dong’s spiritual power web became denser, eventually capturing a roaming ’blood-colored crystal’.

"That should be the formation eye of this blood mist maze, truly astounding that the formation eye can move at any time, and even knows how to hide."

"If I hadn’t reached Level thirty-six and a half spiritual power, I might not have found this moving formation eye."

Lin Dong murmured.

Hearing Lin Dong’s murmur, the mysterious woman Luo Xue asked in surprise, "Lin Dong, you found the formation eye?"

"Yes, I found it, but it’s always moving. I have to lock it down to destroy it!" Lin Dong said.

"After you lock it, tell me the precise position. I will cut it down!" Luo Xue spoke.

Lin Dong nodded, then gathered his spiritual power into nine chains.

"Whoosh~~~"

Nine chains made of spiritual condensation instantly trapped the ’formation eye’, which was that constantly moving, elusive blood-colored crystal.

"It’s locked, there. Quickly..." Lin Dong shouted.

Luo Xue immediately drew her sword!

"Whoosh!!!

A terrifying sword light, like a flash of lightning, slashed onto that blood-colored crystal.

The blood-colored crystal originally could perform ’space-time displacement’, however, because it was locked by Lin Dong’s spiritual chains, it couldn’t move and had to endure the strike.

"Boom!"

One sword, and that blood-colored crystal was split in two!

"Boom!!!"

As the blood-colored crystal was cleaved in two, a crack appeared in the blood mist illusion.

The crack quickly widened, finally shattering with a boom.

The blood mist maze was thus broken by the two working together.

Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, both couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

"That blood-colored crystal is surely the legendary ’blood illusion space-time crystal’, this type of crystal possesses a certain space-time power, capable of transferring within space-time. Using such a crystal as the formation eye, no wonder it was elusive. Fortunately, your spiritual power locked it so it couldn’t rely on space-time to hide."

"Otherwise, even after a hundred years, I wouldn’t have found its specific position." Luo Xue said with a soft laugh, looking at Lin Dong with eyes full of appreciation.

Indeed, teaming up with Lin Dong was truly a wise move.

Lin Dong also said, "Indeed, fortunately, my spiritual power broke through to Level thirty-five. Had it been Level thirty-four, I couldn’t have locked this blood-colored crystal."

"Hoo~~" Luo Xue exhaled with relief, stretched lazily, and said, "Little brother, you really put my mind at ease. Honestly, I am growing more and more appreciative of you."

"Oh? So Sister Luo Xue, in that case, why not give me the Heart Speech Flower in advance?" Lin Dong extended his hand, saying.

"That won’t do." Luo Xue chuckled, "I must give it to you at the very end, in case you change your mind and want to go back. I wouldn’t reach the finish line alone."

Just as the two thought they broke the blood mist maze and were at peace, continuing to talk.

A massive phantom beast suddenly emerged from the broken illusion.

It was surrounded by a blood-colored aura, its eyes gleaming with intelligence, clearly not an opponent to be underestimated.

Seeing this, the two ceased their conversation and focused their gaze on the fearsome phantom beast.

"Be careful, this phantom beast’s spiritual power is extremely strong." Luo Xue reminded, and was already prepared for battle.

Lin Dong knew well that physical attacks were ineffective against this beast, so he immediately gathered all his spiritual power to form a sharp sword of spiritual power.

The sword light was like lightning, shooting straight towards the phantom beast. The beast, unwilling to be outdone, counterattacked with its equally strong spiritual power.

Luo Xue also knew that physical attacks were useless against this phantom beast.

So she simply put away her sword and stood by, watching the fight.

"This phantom beast’s spiritual power is not inferior to that of a mental power monk at the 37th level, can you defeat it?" Luo Xue stood aside, she murmured in her heart.
