Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2843 - 2842: Chaotic Space

As the three figures made their entrance, Tian Sha's countenance shifted, becoming visibly displeased.

He couldn't help but voice his surprise, "I truly hadn't anticipated that the trio would still be concealed within."

"However, a question lingers: why are only three individuals present here? Logically, the Four Great Nations War Department should be operating in unison."

"By all accounts, there should be a Thunder accompanying them. Where has this Thunder vanished to? Why is he not with them?"

"Thunder is no more," Lin Dong stated with a placid tone.

Upon hearing this, Tian Sha's expression underwent a dramatic alteration, and he inquired, "He's deceased? Could it be that Brother Lin was responsible for his demise?"

Lin Dong offered neither confirmation nor denial.

He maintained his silence.

Yet, this very silence served as the answer to his question.

Tian Sha let out a gasp, "An individual as formidable as Thunder met his end at the hands of Brother Lin. It appears Brother Lin possesses numerous hidden capabilities that have yet to be revealed."

"Do you not also possess a multitude of unrevealed trump cards?" Lin Dong's gaze fixed upon Tian Sha, his words imbued with a significant undertone.

Tian Sha directed his gaze towards the depths of the forbidden array and remarked, "It would be prudent for us to cease our discussion; they have already made their entry. We, too, must proceed inward."

Furthermore, entering first does not guarantee the primary discovery of the Origin Power.

Yet, precious time should not be squandered here.

Lin Dong gave a slight nod, then transformed into a streak of light, swiftly breaching the perimeter of the forbidden array.

As he made his passage, Tian Sha, without hesitation, followed close behind.

Lin Dong and Tian Sha set foot, with a sense of steady resolve, within the ancient and mystical forbidden array.

A sudden luminescence emanated from the array, and their forms abruptly vanished from external observation, as if absorbed by an entity beyond comprehension.

"Hmm? What is this..." Tian Sha's voice reverberated through the void, tinged with a disbelief that was palpable.

His gaze swept across the surroundings, revealing an expansive expanse of water before him, shimmering with an ethereal luminescence yet exuding an aura of profound pressure and unfathomable depth.

In stark contrast to the pellucid clarity of the external realm, the waters here seemed to harbor an ancient and potent energy, constricting his divine sense as if bound by invisible restraints, thereby impeding its further reach.

"This aquatic domain is peculiar," Tian Sha muttered once more, his brow furrowed in concentration.

He attempted to extend his perception, but could only discern subtle undulations within a few feet of his immediate vicinity.

The faculty of all-encompassing perception and foresight, upon which he had previously relied, appeared to have been utterly stripped away in this moment, engendering an unprecedented sense of vigilance and disquiet within his heart.

Lin Dong, too, perceived the oppressive influence of this strange force, yet his reaction was markedly more composed than Tian Sha's.

He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and endeavored to marshal the residual spiritual power coursing through him, seeking a potential avenue of breakthrough within this constrained environment.

Nevertheless, even he was not entirely immune to the prevailing difficulties.

On a prior occasion, within the extreme confines of the Five Elements Land, his spiritual power domain had been capable of extending for hundreds of miles; now, he could scarcely sense occurrences within a few kilometers, a drastic disparity that caused him to knit his brows slightly.

"It seems the prohibition here is truly extraordinary," Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze keenly scanning the vicinity, endeavoring to discern any subtle clue from the seemingly tranquil water's surface.

Compared to Tian Sha's evident bewilderment, Lin Dong displayed a more resolute demeanor, understanding that maintaining composure and sound judgment was paramount in this peculiar setting.

"Tian Sha, we have been temporarily deprived of our large-scale perceptive capabilities; we must proceed with heightened caution," Lin Dong cautioned in a low tone to Tian Sha, who stood beside him, a note of apprehension lacing his voice.

He was acutely aware that Golden Buddha Kuerzan, Gale Queen, and Dragon Knight Vincent had also entered this restricted zone, but their current whereabouts, and whether they too were subjected to identical limitations, remained entirely unknown.

Tian Sha offered a nod. Despite the persistent undercurrent of doubt and unease within him, Lin Dong's calm influence gradually helped him to regain his emotional equilibrium.

The two exchanged a meaningful glance, and without the need for further discourse, a mutual understanding was established between them.

Within this enigmatic aquatic expanse, only through concerted cooperation could they possibly uncover a means of egress, unravel its hidden enigmas, and ultimately locate the Origin Power.

Consequently, they commenced a cautious exploration of this watery domain, each deliberate stride taken with utmost care, fearful of inadvertently triggering any concealed mechanisms or disturbing the latent perils lurking beneath the surface.

"It's truly perplexing. Why did Golden Buddha Kuerzan, Gale Queen, and Dragon Knight Vincent enter before us, yet we cannot detect their presence?" Tian Sha voiced his confusion.

"What exactly is transpiring? This region feels exceptionally strange." Lin Dong ventured into the peculiar watery area, and for the initial few minutes, all seemed to adhere to a semblance of normalcy.

The water's surface lay placid, reflecting the subdued luminescence of the surrounding environment, akin to a colossal mirror silently recounting tales of ages past.

Yet, this tranquility was soon shattered by an uncanny phenomenon.

After traversing just a few hundred steps, an inexplicable sensation pulsed within his heart.

Lin Dong abruptly turned around, only to discover that Tian Sha, who ought to have been right behind him, had vanished without a trace.

The surrounding scenery also became alien; familiar vistas were replaced by a hazy, blurred expanse, as if he had been transported to an entirely different realm.

"Tian Sha! Where have you gone?" Lin Dong shouted, but his calls were met only by the boundless water and the distant echo returning to him.

He discerned that this expanse of water was far from ordinary. It appeared to possess a spatial distortion capability, causing individuals to be instantly displaced from their original location upon entering, potentially even to vastly different points.

"This place seems to be a chaotic space," Lin Dong mused internally, memories of such phenomena flooding his mind.

Ancient texts had described these areas – intricate like labyrinths, yet infinitely more perilous; within them, each step could lead to an unknown destination, and once lost, escape might never be found.

Lin Dong attempted to employ his mental power to survey his surroundings, but in this chaotic void, his spiritual senses felt restrained by an unseen force, barely able to detect disturbances within a few kilometers of himself.

This restriction plunged him into unprecedented bewilderment, knowing that in such conditions, even a minor misstep could have dire consequences.

"How does one exit this chaotic space?" Lin Dong whispered to himself, his voice sounding profoundly small against the immense body of water.

He endeavored to retrace the path he and Tian Sha had taken earlier, searching for any hint or clue, but soon recognized the futility of this effort.

Within this chaotic environment, all sense of direction and spatial awareness was utterly compromised, making it impossible to ascertain his current location.

As moments ticked by, Lin Dong's thoughts grew increasingly agitated.

He was acutely aware that failing to discover a means of egress from this chaotic space swiftly could result in his eternal entrapment, becoming a spirit lost forever.

However, within this seemingly unending watery expanse, any glimmer of hope appeared remarkably faint...
