Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2559: Chapter 2558: Weathering the Storm Together

The night descended, deep and oppressive, shrouding the tumultuous blood pool.

All around, an invisible psychic storm tore through the space like a raging beast, emitting a series of heart-wrenching wails.

Amidst this chaos and danger, Lin Dong and Luo Xue stood face to face. Around their bodies, a faint yet tenacious spiritual power barrier, like a transparent crystal ball, isolated all the brutality from the outside world.

Time seemed to freeze. A day and night’s ordeal furrowed Lin Dong’s brows, with fine beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

His eyes held both fatigue and resilience. Each fluctuation of the spiritual power barrier seemed to silently convey his persistence and effort.

Luo Xue looked at him, her eyes filled with heartache and self-blame. She knew her presence was gradually becoming a heavy burden for Lin Dong.

”I’m sorry for dragging you down. Maybe, you should just use the psychic barrier to protect yourself. This way, your psychic power won’t be so depleted.” Luo Xue’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, yet it clearly reached Lin Dong’s ears.

Her eyes flickered with avoidance, a sign of her annoyance at her own powerlessness and her deep apology to Lin Dong.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s lips curled into a gentle smile. He slowly turned, meeting Luo Xue’s gaze with firm eyes.

”How could I possibly do that?” His voice was not loud, yet filled with undeniable strength,

”We’ve come this far together, survived life and death trials, and faced countless hardships. Now, it’s the time we support each other. How could I abandon you now? What kind of person do you think I am?”

”In the Illusionary World, you never abandoned me and waited a lifetime. How could I abandon you now?”

Luo Xue was deeply moved by these words, feeling an unprecedented warmth and strength. It was a resonance of souls, a trust and reliance beyond words.

She gently nodded, and her eyes held no more hesitation, just stronger trust in Lin Dong.

At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly moved, taking out a crystal-clear Dan medicine from the Dragon Ring Space - a Soul Supplement Pill.

This pill emitted a faint blue light, seemingly filled with endless vitality and power.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it, and immediately, a warm energy rose from his Dantian, quickly coursing through his limbs and bones, especially in his Spiritual Sea, bringing a glimmer of hope to his nearly exhausted spiritual power.

”But this psychic storm...” Luo Xue was still a little worried, her words cut off by Lin Dong.

”Now, listen to me!” Lin Dong’s eyes became exceptionally determined and domineering.

His words were like a warm flow, instantly warming Luo Xue’s heart, gradually calming her previously anxious emotions.

Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong, feeling a surge of unexplainable emotion.

In this blood pool, time seemed to be stretched by an invisible force.

Every second carried an indescribable ordeal, not just living day by day; it was more like living second by second.

The extreme consumption of spiritual power sent waves of sharp pain through Lin Dong’s head.

It felt akin to a common person, wakeful for days and nights without sleep, yet still needing to think hard and solve problems all the same.

Lin Dong’s current situation was just like that!

He struggled to straighten his spine, eyes tightly closed, forehead beaded with sweat.

In his Sea of Consciousness, a baptism by psychic storm was also occurring. The Spirit Force Black Lotus continuously emanated mental power defense, resisting various spiritual attacks.

As time elapsed, this psychic storm had persisted for seven days and nights, relentlessly battering his already strained mental defenses.

”Can you still hold on?!” Luo Xue’s voice softly came to his ear, carrying a hint of bitterness.

She stood by, her eyes filled with worry and admiration for Lin Dong.

She knew it was not just a test of Lin Dong’s personal determination, but also key to whether they could leave here safely.

Within Lin Dong, the spiritual power to resist the storm was like a river about to dry up, each trickle of force flowing was so arduous.

The Soul Supplement Pills he previously refined, those precious Dan medicines that could temporarily enhance spiritual power, had long been exhausted in this prolonged defense.

At this moment, he was like a small boat swaying in a storm, ready to capsize at any moment.

”The Soul Supplement Pills are exhausted, and my psychic power is almost completely depleted. At most, I can last three more hours.” Lin Dong responded truthfully.

At this moment, Luo Xue made a decision. From her Space Bracelet, she took out a small exquisite Jade Box, which was once a life-saving treasure given to her brother from her clan when he was a child - a Soul Origin Crystal prepared specifically for spiritual power cultivators through ancient family secret methods.

This crystal emitted a faint blue light and was more than a treasure for her.

It was her brother’s relic from years ago.

She has always regarded it as a supreme treasure, carrying it with her.

But now, to save Lin Dong and herself, she took it out.

”Lin Dong, this is the last help I can give you.” Luo Xue’s voice slightly trembled as she carefully handed the Soul Origin Crystal to Lin Dong’s mouth.

Though Lin Dong’s mind was blurred, he instinctively sensed this external warmth and strength, opened his mouth, and took the Soul Origin Crystal in.

Instantly, a warm and immense psychic power gushed out from the Soul Origin Crystal, spreading rapidly through Lin Dong’s meridians to his entire body.

This power, like gentle spring rain, nourished his nearly exhausted Spiritual Sea, reigniting the fire that was about to extinguish.

Lin Dong’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed, his mental barrier strengthening once again, fighting against the raging storm.

Unaware of how much time had passed, when the blood-colored moonlight spilled over the blood-light shrouded space, the psychic storm finally subsided.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue smiled at each other, a relief from having survived a catastrophe.

”The psychic storm, finally weathered.” Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in fatigued tones.

Luo Xue nodded, the worry on her face relaxing at this moment.

However, fate seemed unwilling to let them go so easily.

Just as they thought everything was over, preparing to further refine the fresh blood in the blood pool, a more bizarre ripple suddenly surged from within the blood pool.

This time, it was no longer just a simple psychic storm but accompanied by surging blood waves, as if something in the depths of the blood pool was awakening, ready to launch a new attack.

”It seems, the crisis in the blood pool has not been completely passed. Next, we’ll face something even more terrifying.” Lin Dong clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unyielding light.

Luo Xue’s expression was also serious, fully aware that the next challenge might be even more perilous.

But she was even more certain that as long as she fought alongside Lin Dong, she would not fear even death.
