The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2557 Pool of Blood!
My mental strength has been raised to level thirty-ninth, only level forty, which is the last level, remains.

“If I can reach the 40th level, I can use my powerful mental strength to remove the Death Curse on my body. I won’t need the two antidotes, Heart Flower and Ambergris.” Lin Dong thought.

But he immediately shook his head.

Even though I’m at the 39th step now, I’m only one step away from the 40th step.

But that last step is often the hardest.

An improvement of more than thirty levels is just an improvement of one small level, so it is relatively simple.

However, upgrading from level 39 to level 40 is a huge improvement in mental strength. There is an invisible bottleneck in the middle, and it is extremely difficult to break through.

It can be said that the upgrade from the thirty-ninth level to the fortieth level is more difficult than the previous nine levels, from the thirty levels to the thirty-ninth level.

Unless there is a greater opportunity, it is simply impossible to achieve it within three months.

So Lin Dong still cannot give up the search for the antidote.

"Let's go. Now we have passed the fifth level of this bloody world. If we go forward, we will see the final destination." Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong with a complicated expression and spoke out.

Lin Dong nodded and continued walking with her.

They didn't know how long they walked before they finally arrived at the deepest part of that bloody world.

Here, it is a place where desolation and silence intersect, as if even time has stopped.

In front of them, there was a pool of blood.

The pool of blood, like a blood-red eye between heaven and earth, lies quietly in the abyss. The blood flowing in it is not of this mortal world, but blood that transcends the heavenly realm. It is overbearing and wild, exuding a heart-pounding breath.

The water in the pool was a deep dark red, as if it could devour all light and vitality, and the surrounding space was distorted by this power.

There was dead silence all around, except for the occasional ripples from the blood pool, which made a low and dull sound, like the breathing of an ancient giant beast.

In this desolate place, two skeletons lie quietly on the edge of a pool of blood. Although they have turned into dry bones, one can still vaguely feel the unparalleled majesty of their former owners.

The first skeleton was holding a wooden sword that looked ordinary but emitted a faint spiritual light. On the sword, traces of time and the vicissitudes of battle were intertwined. It was the thousand-year-old myth in the legend of the Dragon Kingdom - the Wooden Sword King.

Next to his remains, there were a few lines of ancient characters engraved. Although the characters were blurred, they could still be recognized: "I am the Wood Sword Emperor, born from Kunlun. I can break all laws with one sword, but I was ultimately defeated by the tyranny of this blood pool and returned to dust with regret."

The other skeleton was tall and held a huge axe in his hand. The axe blade was carved with complex totems and emitted a faint golden light. It was obviously from a giant in the Western martial arts world.

He is the thousand-year-old myth revered by the ancient European alliance - the God of Creation.

Next to him were also his last words before his death: "I am the great god of creation, holding the power of thunder and sweeping across the Western martial arts, but I did not expect to come to this place, and be trapped by the blood pool, and die here."

These two paragraphs, like a conversation between two legendary figures across time and space, silently tell the story of their past glory and eventual fall.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.

"These two are actually the thousand-year-old mythical Wood Sword Emperor and the God of Creation." Luo Xue was surprised. Lin Dong was the same. He had also heard about the legends about these two.

The Wood Sword King is another thousand-year-old legend of the Dragon Kingdom after Master Yinlong. He was born in Kunlun and had learned sword arts from hundreds of schools. He also studied sword arts with Master Yinlong for a period of time.

He has a wooden sword, which has no grade, but in his hands, it can cut through fourth-grade and fifth-grade spiritual weapons, or even stronger ones!
As for the great god of creation in ancient Europe, he was even older than the Wood Sword Emperor and even older than the era of Master Yinlong.

The fact that it can be honored as the "Creator" is enough to explain everything.

"Who could have thought that beings like the Wood Sword Emperor and the God of Creation would actually die here." Luo Xue sighed.

Lin Dong couldn't help but say, "There are countless people who come to this forbidden land of blood. We have encountered countless corpses along the way. However, only these two can pass the five levels and come to this blood pool."

"But they still fell down in this pool of blood, and their bodies were washed to the side. You can imagine how dangerous this place is."

They knew very well that this was not only a lament for the place where the two myths fell, but also a warning against the unknown dangers that were about to be faced.

The blood in the blood pool seemed to have its own will. Sometimes it was calm as a mirror, and sometimes it was violent as a tide. Every fluctuation revealed its unparalleled tyranny.

Just the aura alone was enough to make even the Heaven Realm warriors feel suffocated.

Luo Xue asked Lin Dong: "This blood is the blood of a warrior above the Heaven Realm. If you can refine it, even if you absorb a little bit, it is very likely that you can touch the secrets above the Heaven Realm."

"Even if it cannot be solved now, it will guide you to continue to climb higher in the martial arts when you reach the peak of the heavenly realm. Of course, you have also seen the dangers in this blood pool. Even a thousand-year-old myth died here. So do you want to try?"

"I know you have some concerns in your heart, but please remember that the path of martial arts is to go against the will of heaven. If you don't have the courage to explore the unknown, how can you climb to the uninhabited realm?"

There was unquestionable power in Luo Xue's words. Her words were like a gentle spring breeze, gradually dispelling the haze in Lin Dong's heart.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong frowned and his eyes moved back and forth between the blood pool and Luo Xue.

He knew very well that this leap could be a shortcut to the peak of martial arts, or it could be an abyss of no return. But looking at Luo Xue's resolute figure, he felt an unprecedented courage and determination.

"What about you?" Lin Dong finally spoke. Although his voice was soft, it revealed his inner struggle and expectation.

Luo Xue smiled slightly, with a sense of freedom and determination in her smile. "Of course I have to try, and I have to try. My family, my future, and even the ultimate martial arts that I pursue, all force me to do this..."

Before she finished her words, Luo Xue no longer hesitated. She stretched out her body and, like a white crane spreading its wings, lightly leaped into the pool of blood.

At that moment, the blood pool seemed to be activated. The bright red liquid boiled and turned into blood-colored tornadoes, trying to swallow up this brave woman.

However, the jade pendant in Luo Xue's hand suddenly burst into dazzling light, forming a protective shield that wrapped her tightly and resisted the erosion of the blood pool.

Seeing this, Lin Dong's eyes flashed with shock and admiration. He knew very well that this leap was not only Luo Xue's pursuit of martial arts, but also her fearless declaration of life and dreams.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision. Then, he gritted his teeth and resolutely jumped into the pool of blood, following Luo Xue's footsteps and embarking on this martial arts journey full of unknowns and challenges.

Inside the blood pool, the two forces began to intertwine and collide. Lin Dong and Luo Xue each endured the tremendous pressure and pain brought by the blood pool, while also greedily absorbing the ancient and powerful blood power.
