Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2536: Chapter 2535: Sealed Beast

”What are the conditions?” Lin Dong asked again.

”You’ll know once we reach the land of seals. For you, it’s a small matter indeed,” the mysterious woman replied.

”Okay.” Lin Dong nodded and continued following her.

He followed the mysterious woman, whose face was hidden in the mist, wandering deep into the blood-colored forest.

All around were twisted trees that seemed soaked in fresh blood, with ghostly red light seeping through their branches and leaves, enveloping the area in ominous shadows.

The air was filled with the heavy scent of blood and decay, chilling one’s heart.

”We’re almost there.” The mysterious woman’s voice was deep and powerful, carried to Lin Dong’s ears by the night wind.

Lin Dong nodded, his heart full of doubts, yet his steps didn’t hesitate.

He knew he had become an indispensable part of this unknown adventure.

As they ventured further, an open space suddenly appeared ahead, in the center stood an altar built from unknown materials, engraved with complex and ancient symbols, flickering with eerie red light.

On the altar, a gigantic figure was bound by an invisible force, curled up and surrounded by dense blood mist, occasionally emitting low and angry roars, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

”Four-Star Demon Emperor Level Blood Beast — ’Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao’, finally we meet.” The mysterious woman stopped, her eyes sharp, fixating on the imprisoned giant beast.

Though her voice was soft, it carried immense power and an unquestionable determination.

”Little brother, I need you to use your blood to break the ’Blood-Colored Firmament’ Array on it.” The mysterious woman turned and looked at Lin Dong, a gleam flashing in her eyes.

No longer was her tone joking, it was now purely domineering.

Lin Dong, though somewhat annoyed, understood that for the Heart Speech Flower, he had to do this.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, his gaze resolute.

”Why don’t you use your own blood to break this Blood-Colored Firmament Array?” Lin Dong asked, puzzled.

”Because I cannot completely break the Blood-Colored Firmament Array, but you can. Previously, you entered the blood-colored forest and completely broke the Blood-Colored Firmament Array that surrounded it. That means you can also do it now.”

”Your Blood Gift is incredibly against the heaven. It surpasses me...”

After her explanation, Lin Dong understood.

”I see.” Hearing this, he quietly gathered spiritual power in his hands, ready to face whatever was to come.

However, this Blood-Colored Firmament Array that seals the ’Blood Beast’ seems different from the one Lin Dong broke before.

Lin Dong therefore asked the mysterious woman, ”What exactly should I do?”

”Focus on those flowing runes, they form the core of the array. Use your fingertips, with blood as the guide, and touch them in the sequence I tell you.”

The mysterious woman instructed in a low voice, meanwhile, an ancient jade amulet in her hand slowly illuminated, emitting a soft light, as if preparing for the upcoming ritual.

Lin Dong followed her instructions, closing his eyes and concentrating on the boiling blood within him.

He bit his fingertip, a drop of fresh blood fell, turning into a thin blood line that precisely touched the first rune.

Immediately, the rune seemed activated, glowing brightly, then swiftly dimming, as if swallowed by some force.

As more and more runes were deciphered, the red light on the altar grew more intense, and the roar of the Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao grew more frenzied, sensing the approach of freedom.

Lin Dong’s forehead was covered in sweat, but he didn’t stop, knowing this was not only his task but also fulfilling his promise to the mysterious woman.

It concerned whether he could obtain the Heart Speech Flower!

Finally, when the last rune was broken, the whole altar seemed to explode, the Blood-Colored Firmament Array collapsed with a boom, and the invisible shackles binding the Soul-Devouring Demon Jiao vanished as well.

The sealed blood-colored runes slowly unveiled with a roar.

The Four-Star Demon Emperor Level Blood Beast, its enormous body breaking free from the shackles of time, enveloped by blood-colored light, like a demon god returning from hell, stood slowly atop the ruins with endless anger and desire.

Its gaze was burning, piercing the darkness, finally resting on Lin Dong and the mysterious woman. The Blood Beast’s voice was deep and majestic, carrying undeniable power:

”Humans, are you the ones who released me?”

Lin Dong took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise, nodded, trying to respond calmly to the sudden upheaval.

However, the next roar of the Blood Beast exploded like thunder, shattering the brief serenity completely.

”I once swore to repay the liberators with endless grace at the cost of freedom. But as the years passed, that gratitude has vanished in the endless waiting, replaced by boundless resentment and hunger. Now, I vow anew — whoever releases me, I will devour their flesh and blood!”

With that, the Blood Beast’s enormous body quivered violently, the ground trembled, it opened its bloody big mouth, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the moonlight, lunging straight at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong’s heart tightened, swiftly turned to the mysterious woman beside him and said, ”Fairy Sister, you should act quickly!”

His words carried a hint of urgency.

However, the mysterious woman didn’t act immediately, instead gave him a playful look, a faint smile on her lips:

”Little brother, your strength should be enough to deal with this Four-Star Demon Emperor Level Blood Beast, right?”

Lin Dong, hearing this, felt a mix of emotions.

This sudden reneging by the woman caught him off guard.

He initially thought, as per their agreement, his responsibility was only to break the array, and dealing with this powerful Blood Beast was the mysterious woman’s task. But now, everything seemed to have changed.

Surely, a woman’s words were deceptive. The more beautiful the woman, the less her words could be trusted.

”Well then, if that’s the case, let me face this legendary Four-Star Demon Emperor Level Blood Beast myself!”

Lin Dong gritted his teeth, his inner Qi surged, blood boiled, and instantly released the Heavenly Realm Dragon Blood Sacred Body.

At the same time, he immediately performed the ’Thunder-Water-Fire Tri-Transformation’, his flesh clad as if covered in layers of True Dragon Battle Armor!

That sight made the mysterious woman’s eyes light up.

She looked at Lin Dong, silently said to herself, ”Let me see, what other trump cards does this kid have.”

Lin Dong had intrigued her, and naturally, she was also interested in him.

She was curious if Lin Dong, a young Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, could defeat this Four-Star Demon Emperor Level Blood Beast within the strength of a First Heaven Realm Martial Artist.
