Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2293: Chapter 2292: Darkwater Formation

At this moment, Lin Dong looked at the Thunder Hammer.

It no longer had an artifact spirit, only the hammer itself remained.

Without the artifact spirit, its rank dropped from Fourth Order to Third Order!

Yet, it was still a spiritual device!

This spiritual device was also a great tonic item for the Yangxin Sword.

Lin Dong said, ”Xiao Bai, you’ve just broken through to the level of a Fourth-Order Spirit Sword and need to devour other spiritual energy to consolidate.”

”Devour that hammer!”

Xiao Bai nodded and then flew into the body of the Yangxin Sword.

The artifact spirit merged into the sword body, controlling the Yangxin Sword as it flew toward the hammer.

The Thunder Hammer, without its artifact spirit, floated quietly.

It did not sense the danger approaching.

The Yangxin Sword reached the Thunder Hammer and emitted a beam of light from within the sword body.

The light enveloped the Thunder Hammer!

Now, the Yangxin Sword had become a Fourth-Order Spiritual Artifact, while the Thunder Hammer was demoted to Third Order.

Now that the Yangxin Sword wanted to devour it, it was naturally easy, unlike earlier when Lin Dong’s help was needed.

After the light enveloped the Thunder Hammer, the sword Qi melted the Thunder Hammer, integrating it into the Yangxin Sword.

The Yangxin Sword’s appetite had greatly increased, yet after devouring a Third-Order Spiritual Artifact, it still didn’t grow much.

It was still in the early stage of a Fourth-Order Spiritual Artifact!

”Master, a Third-Order Spiritual Artifact is barely enough for me. I’m still so hungry.” A thought transmitted into Lin Dong’s mind.

Lin Dong smiled slightly, then took out several treasure swords from the Dragon Ring.

”Don’t worry, there’s more here.”

The treasured swords he took out were all previously used by the Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, Aoba Nameless.

There were five in total!

Among the five treasure swords, four were First-Order Spirit Swords: Onimaru, Mikazuki, Taishi Light, and Rilian.

And the other was the Third-Order Spirit Sword ’Chi-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi’.

Lin Dong threw all these five spiritual swords to the Yangxin Sword for it to devour.

The Yangxin Sword joyfully said, ”Master, you’re the best, woo woo～～～”

It howled happily.

Then, controlling the sword body, it emitted sword light again, enveloping these five treasure swords.

It began devouring them again!

This process didn’t last long.

After devouring all five treasure swords, Lin Dong found that the Yangxin Sword turned out to still be in the early stage of Fourth-Order.

It hadn’t broken through to the mid-stage of Fourth-Order yet!

”It seems that the upgrade of a spiritual artifact’s level is just as difficult as the improvement of our martial artist’s cultivation level. The higher the level, the harder it is to elevate, and the more resources required.” Lin Dong secretly said.

This principle is actually shared and understandable.

The artifact spirit of the Yangxin Sword once again flew out, happily saying, ”Look, Master, I’ve grown a bit.”

Lin Dong observed that the artifact spirit Xiao Bai indeed became longer.

Just now, its body was just a tiny section like a finger.

Now, it was over ten centimeters long, and as thick as a thumb.

Lin Dong laughingly said, ”In the future, you will grow into a giant dragon! By then, the Yangxin Sword will also become a true Divine Sword.”

”Howl howl howl～～～” Xiao Bai excitedly howled upon hearing Lin Dong’s words.

It was truly overjoyed!

Lin Dong’s mood also improved significantly, as he had Xiao Bai’s companionship on his Martial Way journey. He gained another best companion.

The Martial Way would no longer be so lonely!

”Boom!!”

With the destruction of the Thunder Hammer, the Sea of Thunder Formation also broke.

The scene before Lin Dong’s eyes changed again; the thunder sea disappeared, transforming into a different appearance.

What he saw now was a black water ocean.

This ocean was boundless, and the water in it wasn’t blue like the outside world.

Instead, it was incredibly thick, black, and emitted a foul stench.

”This is Ancient Black Water, its corrosiveness is extremely strong, even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists dare not swim naked in it,” the voice of the Sovereign Witch sounded again.

She had evidently seen and understood this Ancient Black Water before.

Lin Dong had also read about some descriptions of Ancient Black Water in ancient books.

”Could this black water be the moat that guarded Kunlun in those years?”

Kunlun, in ancient times, for three thousand years, was the supreme in Martial Arts. It was the Holy Land of the whole world’s Martial Arts World, akin to Buddhism’s ’Spirit Mountain’, worshiped by countless martial artists.

A Martial Arts holy land like this naturally needed protective measures.

Like ancient emperors, to fend off the outer world, built the Great Wall. In that era, Kunlun, as a Martial Arts Holy Land, had a great ability who led black water from thousands of miles underground to become a moat, guarding Kunlun!

Having black water as a moat was because of the black water’s attributes!

The black water had the corrosive power to corrode the Sacred Body of the Heavenly Realm; falling into it was very dangerous for a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

The dark Qi emitted by black water had spiritual attacks, negatively affecting a martial artist’s spirit. If your mental willpower wasn’t strong enough, flying over the black water would cause your mental power to collapse due to the staining of the dark Qi emitted by the black water.

Leading to your fall into the black water!

Therefore, black water also had a saying, ’only the Heavenly Realm can cross’!

It means, if the black water acted as a river, only by reaching the level of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist could one attempt to cross it!

Otherwise, the one who tries to cross will face nine deaths and one life!

Lin Dong looked at this black water ocean and couldn’t help but say, ”This Lord Susanoo was quite an extraordinary figure to have drawn so much black water to set up this Darkwater Formation in the Seven Extremities Array!”

The Sovereign Witch also said, ”Indeed impressive, it seems even his remaining Spirit and Soul cannot be underestimated. You must be careful.”

Lin Dong nodded, naturally being cautious in facing Lord Susanoo’s Spirit and Soul.

But before that, he still had to find a way to break this formation.

Lin Dong activated the ’Buddha Lotus’, emitting two fire-like glances, looking toward the black water ocean’s side, where he spotted a black lotus at the end of the black water ocean!

”That’s the Black Water Black Lotus, over three thousand years old, a true Medicine King! Though not as pure in medicinal power as the dragon-shaped Medicine King you obtained in the Hidden Dragon Cave, it is still a Heavenly and Earthly treasure that all Heavenly Realm Martial Artists would scramble for!”

”What a lavish move, using so much black water and the Medicine King Black Water Black Lotus as the spirit of the formation to set up such a Darkwater Formation.”

The Sovereign Witch’s voice continually expressed admiration, clearly shocked by this formation.

Such a lavish setup, even in ancient times, few could arrange such a formation.

Imagine, who could take out so many resources to set it up?

However, considering that this was the burial place of Lord Susanoo, with even his Spirit and Soul here, if such a formation wasn’t set up, wouldn’t anyone be able to intrude?

In this light, it seems more understandable.

Lin Dong, at this moment, was also somewhat shaken.

”The Black Water Black Lotus only grows near black water as a Heavenly and Earthly treasure. Although the Black Lotus contains pure medicinal power, it also has terrifying toxicity. But to me, there’s nothing to fear.”

”I want this Black Water Black Lotus!”

He became excited.
