Chapter 0993: The Illusory Feather Demon Cave

Unhindered along the way, Huang Long arrived at the perilous Tianmo Cave in the World of Ten Thousand Demons.
Tianmo Cave was a vast cavern spanning tens of millions of miles. Above it, demonic energy surged into the sky, with clouds of demonic energy enveloping the entire area. Compared to the Valley of Falling Demons, Tianmo Cave was even more gloomy and chilling.
The howls of countless demons could be faintly heard. After hovering above Tianmo Cave for a while, Huang Long broke through the demonic clouds and entered it.
From above, Tianmo Cave appeared to cover only tens of millions of miles, but inside, it was as vast as the Valley of Falling Demons—filled with countless realms and spaces.
Upon entering, Huang Long headed straight toward the depths of Tianmo Cave.
Besides countless realms and spaces, Tianmo Cave also contained a thousand other caves, each housing a powerful demonic race. Among these was the Illusory Feather Demon Cave, where the Ancestor of Heaven-Subverting Demons had hidden the sacred blood of the Holy King. Within this cave lived a demonic beast called the Illusory Feather Angel Beast.
Along the way, Huang Long encountered many powerful demons, all of which he defeated one by one. Even the strongest warriors from the early stages of eleven eras could not withstand a single punch from him. Although the demons in Tianmo Cave were fierce and powerful, they posed no threat to Huang Long.
Of course, there were still some demons from the twelve eras in Tianmo Cave, so Huang Long did not dare to be careless.
As Huang Long made his way to the Illusory Feather Demon Cave, two figures were also moving deeper into the cave. They were Ji Wushuang, the grand elder of the Blood-Red Demon Eye Ox Clan, and Fang Haotian of the Golden Crow Clan!
“I never expected that kid to dare kill Jun Xuan and Chi Rong from the Heavenly Dao Sect! I even start to admire him now!” Ji Wushuang said, his demonic eyes glowing with eerie light.
“It’s a pity that after killing those disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect, he must have fled the World of Ten Thousand Demons and hidden himself. It will be difficult for us to find him again,” Fang Haotian said regretfully.
“Indeed, it’s a shame!” Ji Wushuang’s eyes sparkled.
If those over 110,000 Blood-Red Divine Beads that Huang Long obtained from the Blood-Red Lake fell into their hands, they could skip billions of years of hard cultivation and might even break through to the twelve eras!
Originally, they had come to the World of Ten Thousand Demons to kill Huang Long. But instead of finding him, they heard news that Huang Long had killed Jun Xuan and Chi Rong in the Valley of Falling Demons. Just as they were about to return to the World of Chaotic Demons, they heard news of the Heavenly Soul Stones appearing in Tianmo Cave, so they turned back and headed there.

Back then, he made a bet with Huang Long and ended up losing the Heavenly Soul Stone to him, preventing him from crafting the Heavenly Soul Pill to heal his son’s soul injuries. Thinking about this still annoyed him greatly. As for Fang Haotian, he met him after entering the Heavenly Demon Cavern. Upon learning that Fang Haotian also intended to venture deep into the cavern to search for something, the two decided to travel together. “Brother Ji Wushuang, the Cloud Lion Demon Cavern is not far ahead!” Fang Haotian’s voice rang out as Ji Wushuang was lost in thought. Ji Wushuang snapped out of his daze and saw a huge entrance to a demon cavern ahead of them, with roars of demon lions coming from within. This time, he had learned that the Heavenly Soul Stone was inside the Cloud Lion Demon Cavern. “Mm, once we get the Heavenly Soul Stone, we’ll head to the Illusory Feather Demon Cavern to find the Heart of Illusory Feathers!” Ji Wushuang said. “Okay!” Fang Haotian had no objections. Before reaching the Cloud Lion Demon Cavern, the two flashed inside. After a brief battle, they found the Heavenly Soul Stone inside and fled from the cavern, pursued by groups of flying cloud lions. After escaping the Cloud Lion Demon Cavern, they barely managed to shake off the swarm of flying cloud lions before heading toward the Illusory Feather Demon Cavern. The distance between the two caverns was considerable, and it took them several hours to arrive. When they flashed into the Illusory Feather Demon Cavern, Huang Long had already reached the Snowfield Lake deep within it. The Holy King’s essence was located in the Snowfield Lake. Black snow kept falling on the lake’s surface. This snow was strange—once it fell into the lake, it turned into water and merged with it. The Snowfield Lake was a forbidden area for the Illusory Feather Angels, guarded only by a few semi-saintly strong warriors, so it was extremely quiet. Huang Long entered the Snowfield Lake without being noticed by those semi-saintly warriors. After reaching the bottom of the lake, he followed the directions given by the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor and headed westward. There, a small mountain appeared before him. The mountain was triangular and not very large, only dozens of meters high. Before approaching it, Huang Long set up a small array around it to isolate the space, then slapped it with his palm, shattering the mountain into powder. From the powder, a jade box fell out. The jade box emitted a faint green glow. Delighted, Huang Long caught it with one hand. The box was cold to the touch and about the size of a palm. Then, using the spells taught by the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor, he broke the restrictions on the box and opened it, revealing a small jade bottle inside.

Although separated by the jade bottle, Huang Long could sense a surging power and an oppressive force that could subdue all beings. “That Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor wasn’t lying after all; this is indeed the Holy King’s essence!” Huang Long was secretly delighted. He had finally found this drop of Holy King’s essence. Once he obtained the Wanluo Divine Water as well, he could swallow it, and then he could imagine his strength soaring! Next, Huang Long placed the jade bottle back into the jade box, sealed it again with restrictions, and then put it inside the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron. After finishing all this, Huang Long turned and returned the way he came. Back on the surface of the Snowy Lake, watching the snow falling from the sky, Huang Long had an idea. With a single palm motion, he captured a clump of snow. The snow from this lake was one of the materials needed to craft the 11th-ranked Fire Spirit Ice Flame Pill. In the Heaven-Subverting Treasure Vault, Huang Long had obtained the recipes for both the Yin-Yang Wuji Pill and the Fire Spirit Ice Flame Pill. After collecting some of these items, Huang Long left the Snowy Lake and quietly flew back toward the entrance of the Illusory Feather Demon Cave. However, not long after leaving the lake, sudden waves of power were detected ahead. Huang Long was stunned. Judging from these power fluctuations, the opponent was quite strong—at least a warrior from ten eras. “Could there be someone else who entered this Illusory Feather Demon Cave?” Huang Long was curious and sneaked toward the source of the power fluctuations. “Huh? It’s Fang Haotian and Ji Wushuang!” A while later, when Huang Long arrived at the source, he was surprised to see that it was Fang Haotian and Ji Wushuang fighting fiercely against the Illusory Feather Angel clan! “Leave the Heart of Illusory Feathers behind, or none of you will be able to leave this cave!” shouted a middle-aged man from the Illusory Feather Angel clan.
