Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2671: Chapter 2670: So the Eerie Space Was Actually...

After overcoming countless hardships and obstacles, they finally stood at the highest point of the Cursed Land. Before them, a space rift was gently opening, like a gateway to rebirth, emanating alluring radiance.

"Look, the space rift is opening!" Lin Dong’s loud shout shattered the surrounding silence. Instantly, all eyes focused, only to see that rift like a sharp blade tearing the night sky, gradually widening to reveal an unknown world on the other side.

At that moment, an ancient and powerful aura surged out from within them, the Divine Soul Power left behind by the Soul of the Sovereign Witch, supporting them through the critical moment of crossing.

"Concentrate, follow my guidance." The voice of the Sovereign Witch echoed in everyone’s mind.

With the Sovereign Witch’s guidance, everyone felt their bodies lighten, as if lifted by an invisible force, slowly approaching the space rift.

The light grew ever brighter until it completely enveloped them. After a dizzying sensation, upon opening their eyes again, a completely different scene appeared before them.

They found themselves back in the depths of the Dragon Tomb within the Earth Dragon Palace.

Looking back down, the space that once imprisoned them now appeared as a colossal entity.

It was the corpse of a slumbering Earth Dragon Venerate, sprawling within the void of the Dragon Tomb, its massive body enough to obscure the sky and block out the sun.

"Heavens, the strange space of the second trial... was actually not a real space, but the corpse of an Earth Dragon Venerate!" Yun Ruoxian’s voice carried incredulous shock as she gently touched her chest, as if still feeling the lingering fear of that journey.

"So, where we were before was inside the stomach of the Earth Dragon Venerate? And those seemingly boundless oceans were actually the accumulated water within its body?" Tang Yun chimed in, unable to hide the shock on her face.

"And the mountain we climbed was the abdominal wall of the Earth Dragon Venerate’s corpse?" The Crescent Wolf Emperor also realized, his face filled with amazement and lingering fear.

They had thought the strange space of the second trial was a void space, never imagining that all of it took place inside the corpse of an ancient creature.

Standing in a row, staring at the sleeping corpse of the Earth Dragon Venerate, mixed emotions filled their hearts, the shock indescribable.

At that moment, the soul of the Sovereign Witch condensed before everyone.

She looked at Lin Dong and slowly said, "I had suspected before that the space you were in was actually inside the corpse of a deceased Earth Dragon Venerate."

"Now it seems my previous guess has been confirmed."

"Even though it’s dead, the power within its body can still restrict your Inner Qi, preventing you from using it."

"Now that you’ve come out, that restriction on your Inner Qi is also lifted."

It was only at this point that everyone realized.

The peculiar force binding their Inner Qi seemed to have been completely cleansed. Lin Dong, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, the Crescent Wolf Emperor, Aidan, and Tian Kong, all simultaneously felt the long-missed surge within their Dantian.

The Inner Qi finally returned to their control at this moment.

"The Inner Qi is finally back. This feeling of regaining something lost, it’s wonderful." Aidan closed his eyes slightly, savoring the Inner Qi flowing through every minute detail within his body, a look of incomparable joy and relief on his face.

Though his voice was soft, it clearly reached each individual’s ears, eliciting a shared sentiment among them.

Lin Dong was the same, taking a deep breath, the Inner Qi moved freely through his meridians, the familiar and powerful force stirring a heroic spirit within his heart.

He smiled slightly, then with a thought, stored the various treasures and resources obtained from this adventure into the space of the Dragon Ring.

The ancient ring rotated gently on his finger, a flash of light signaling the collection of the soul stones and materials for refining Divine Talismans into the space of the Dragon Ring.

"This time in the second trial, although it came with unprecedented dangers and challenges, the gains were also unprecedentedly abundant." Lin Dong contemplated silently. Whether it was the soul stones or materials for refining Divine Talismans, they were immensely important to Lin Dong.

Especially a pair of wings from the Netherworld Winged Dragon, which could be made into two ’Space Transfer Divine Talismans’. If these talismans were refined, they would become Lin Dong’s greatest escape trump cards.

At that time, even if he encountered a Ninth Heaven’s Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist, he could escape with ease.

However, all of this would have to wait until after leaving the Earth Dragon Palace to have the time for refinement.

Moreover, the Space Transfer Divine Talisman is of too high a quality level; Lin Dong is currently unable to refine such a high-grade talisman.

Everything will have to wait until afterward, when he can first spend some time learning about Divine Talismans. Only then can he achieve it.

Besides that, when he leaves, he must also refine Soul Supplement Pills and undo the Dead Soul Curse on himself.

Although he has already acquired the two antidotes for the Dead Soul Curse, refining them into a Detoxification Pill also requires time.

In the Earth Dragon Palace, clearly, there isn’t time for that now. It too will have to wait until after he leaves the Earth Dragon Palace to refine it.

As he thought of this, he realized there truly were quite a number of things to do once outside. Lin Dong touched his nose, secretly contemplating.

At this moment, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, and the others were also filled with joy. Although they hadn’t obtained any treasures in the second trial.

Successfully passing the trial and surviving, that sense of relief after a narrow escape naturally filled them with happiness.

"Do you guys think the Little Monarch Red Dragon, where exactly could it be? Could it have already died in there?" Aidan suddenly spoke, addressing Lin Dong and the others.

Lin Dong shook his head, "Who knows."

Even so, Lin Dong felt that the Little Monarch Red Dragon was not simple.

He had a feeling that the Little Monarch Red Dragon would not just die like that.

"We’ve looked for him for so long and still haven’t found him. It’s not our fault." Tian Kong chimed in.

Everyone nodded, unburdened by any guilt over the matter.

Especially Lin Dong, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, and Tian Kong, the four Heavenly Realm Martial Artists from the Dragon Country.

Their relationship with the Little Monarch Red Dragon was average to begin with, not particularly close.

Plus, they had searched for him for so long.

Not finding him, it was an inevitable circumstance.

"Anyway, let’s hope he’s safe. I hope he, like us, made it through the second trial and didn’t die inside!" The Crescent Wolf Emperor mused.

"Let’s keep looking forward. Now that our Inner Qi has been restored, we can move forward and enter the second Earth Dragon Treasure Vault. I wonder what treasures will be obtained this time." Aidan pivoted the conversation, his eyes alight with anticipation.

Having learned from the first treasure-seeking experience, this time, he certainly wouldn’t make the same mistakes again.

"This time, I won’t be greedy." Aidan remarked.

And everyone’s gaze was directed ahead again.

Ahead, another Light Gate had appeared.

Everyone knew that within that Light Gate was the second Earth Dragon Treasure Vault.

What treasures will this time reveal?
