Invincible

turn the way he had come and exit through the cave mouth.

So, Huang Xiaolong turned his gaze towards the bottom of the cave.

There seemed to be only emptiness below, and it was darker than where he was.
Not to mention that his three holy souls were useless in this Death Cave, except for the tens of meters around him.

After some hesitation, Huang Xiaolong began to descend slowly to the bottom.

At the moment, going down seemed to be the best chance of finding a way out of here, and he had no other choice but to explore it.

Slowly and cautiously, Huang Xiaolong descended, but the Death Cave felt like a bottomless hole.
He had been descending for an hour, yet he still hadn't seen the ground at the bottom.

Another half a day later, there were still no signs of reaching the bottom of the cave.

A day later, finally, he seemed to hear some noises coming from the cave’s bottom…

Huang Xiaolong listened carefully. A rushing river?!

Huang Xiaolong accelerated and saw a river.
The churning river water vaguely revealed a hint of turbid yellow, as if it was the world’s dirtiest entity in the world, exuding an unbearable foul stench.

This stench was so foul that it even nauseated Huang Xiaolong’s holy souls.

Huang Xiaolong was stupefied and quickly retrieved his divine sense.
Inextinguishable rays rippled from his chest and formed a protective barrier over him, blocking off everything from outside.
Despite that, Huang Xiaolong still felt dizzy and nauseated. 

He was almost jarred senseless. What river is this? It’s a million times more horrible than the Yellow Springs River he had come across in the lower worlds.

Could it be the Xuanhuang Turbid Water?

According to some, places with xuanhuang qi, there would also be Xuanhuang Turbid Water.
The Xuanhuang Turbid Water was one the Holy World’s most poisonous dead water, and it was rumored to be capable of melting dao physique.
If a Primal Ancestor fell into this Xuanhuang Turbid Water, he would be reduced into rotten bones in less than a second.
If his holy soul didn’t escape immediately, even it would be corroded.

Thinking this might really be Xuanhuang Turbid Water, Huang Xiaolong nearly jumped out of his skin, and his face grayed as he stopped approaching abruptly.
This kind of thing, forget about touching it, even seeing it gave him goosebumps. 

How the h*ck did this Death Cave come about, that it actually contains things like Xuanhuang Turbid Water?

Huang Xiaolong’s composure returned slightly after a moment.
I can’t go up now, and can’t get down as well.
What to do? Is this Death Cave really the end?

What could be at the end of this Xuanhuang Turbid Water? After some thoughts, Huang Xiaolong cautiously flew forward following the river current.
In this situation, he could only pray and hope the end was his hope of surviving and not a dead end. 

If the end of the Xuanhuang Turbid Water river was a dead end, then he would be trapped to death in this Death Cave.

He continued flying forward along the river.
However, he became more apprehensive from time to time, as there were pieces of dao bones floating on the water surface! 

The bones of a Primal Ancestor Realm expert!

Apart from dao bones, there were also broken pieces of dao artifacts! Even dao artifacts couldn’t withstand the Xuanhuang Turbid Water’s corrosion!

I wonder how the four divine flames compare with this Xuanhuang Turbid Water? Huang Xiaolong thought inwardly.
But there weren't any more movements from the four divine fires after devouring the death worms and death qi, even when Huang Xiaolong tried summoning them.
More often than not, would the four divine fires appear only when he was on the verge of death?

Huang Xiaolong’s mood fell further after several days of flying along the river for he still hadn’t seen the end or the start of the river.
It was just like coming down the bottomless Death Cave.

When it was half a month later with no end in sight, Huang Xiaolong was half-despairing. There would’t really be no end to this Xuanhuang Turbid Water river, would it? Or is this river actually flowing in circles, thus there is no beginning and no end?

As Huang Xiaolong’s despair deepened, suddenly, up in front, were faint rays of light.
Although it wasn’t very clear, in this endless Xuanhuang Turbid Water river, in this endless darkness, it lit up hope in Huang Xiaolong’s chest.

Huang Xiaolong increased his speed.
