Twenty thousand feet under the Pond of Dragons was an underground palace. This palace was completely sealed off. Inside was a headless golden body.
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement were surprised for a long time when they saw such a strange thing.
Intimidated by the immortal's body, the two of them did not dare to probe further or hope to take down the immortal's body.
Now that Lu Li was in a desperate situation, he had to take the risk.
Inside the cave, Lu Li was tense. He did not dare to move too fast.
After such a long time, Lu Li's wounds had recovered. He had taken control of another Quasi Relic armor.
That being said … even with 10 Quasi Relic armors, Lu Li still did not feel safe.
Going down slowly, Lu Li was getting more nervous. His palms were sweating, and his back was soaked in sweat. But in his eyes, he was determined because there was no way out.
Two thousand feet down, Lu Li could no longer see the light. He seemed to have entered a state of spatial dimension. He was surrounded by darkness.
His heart was beating faster and his breaths were heavier. He felt the earth was pressing on him from all sides, trying to crush him.
Twenty thousand feet!
Lu Li's heart was pounding faster. He felt his heart was going to jump out. He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and sped up.
Two hundred thousand feet.
Lu Li was almost at the bottom. Last time, when he dug a tunnel, he reached this point.
At this point, Lu Li stopped. He wasn't as nervous as before.
He used to be like this all the time. At the critical moment of life and death, he would stay calm and risk everything. The worst that could happen was death.
He did not use psychic power right away. Instead, he flew downward. When he reached the bottom, he still did not use psychic power.
He knew that once he used psychic power, he would be enveloped by a horrifying energy. He would not be able to move one bit.
Later on, he and Patriarch of Law Enforcement came to check and it was the same.
He did not use psychic power at the moment, but he did not feel anything. Still, he felt it was cold and uncomfortable.
"Buzzing!"
The red mark between Lu Li's eyebrows glowed. Just like last time, the Dragon Demon sent Lu Li a message, telling him to leave at once. The Dragon Demon sensed danger.
Lu Li ignored the Dragon Demon. He took out the [Cold Blade] saber and continued to dig.
He remembered very clearly that he could only vaguely sense the situation in the underground palace after he extended his Spiritual Force to the extreme.
His Spiritual Force could scan up to 100,000 feet, so the underground palace and the headless corpse were at least 100,000 feet below.
His digging speed was very fast. His Cold Edge Battle Blade kept moving, and the mud and stones underneath were ground to dust. He completely forgot about the threat of the headless god corpse and kept digging.
Three thousand feet, thirty thousand feet, fifty thousand feet!
Lu Li realized that if he didn't use psychic power, the chilly and horrifying qi and energy from the headless immortal's body didn't spread over.
Even though the breath was getting more and more uncomfortable, Lu Li could still move and could run away at any time.
"Keep digging!"
Lu Li swung the Cold Saber and sped up. He dug downward desperately. This kind of digging was too fast. In the time for dozens of breaths, Lu Li had dug for another couple of miles.
There was only one or two miles left from the underground palace. Lu Li's digging speed was slowing down.
It was not that Lu Li was getting nervous again. It was just that … the air around here had become extremely cold. Lu Li felt like he had fallen into an icehouse. He felt numb all over and his movements were sluggish.
As a matter of fact, the air here was not cold, but a feeling in his heart.
It was like a person passing by a graveyard in the middle of the night. The temperature was not cold, but it felt chilly. Goosebumps rose all over his body and he shuddered.
"One or two miles. I don't think the Dead Soul Charms can go any further."
Lu Li murmured to himself. He covered his head and kept on digging.
This time, he was much slower. The Dragon Armor and the Quasi Relic armor appeared. He knew that if the headless corpse wanted to kill him, even the Relic armor would not be enough to protect him …
It took Lu Li the time for one incense stick to burn to dig through the two miles. At this point, Lu Li involuntarily stopped.
He was enveloped by the chilly air. He was trembling and his teeth were chattering. There was no trace of blood on his face. His white hair was scattered and covered in dust. He looked no different from a ghost.
"I cannot go any further!
I cannot go any further! "
Lu Li kept repeating these words in his mind. He felt powerless. His soul was filled with terror. Every hair on his body was standing on end.
"I should be less than two miles away from the underground palace."
Lu Li thought to himself. He could fly the Dead Soul Charms down at this distance, but he did not think it was safe. What if the Dead Soul Charms lost their effect when the distance was too far?
"Another one mile!"
Lu Li made up his mind. A glint of red light appeared in his eyes. He swung his saber and dug downward with all his might. His speed was even faster.
He stirred the Relic weapon in his hand at all costs. The mud and stones were ground into dust. Lu Li was falling down. Without thinking, he took a deep breath and swung the Relic weapon in his hand.
One thousand feet, one mile, one mile, two thousand feet!
At this moment, Lu Li finally came back to his senses. He had reached a depth of two thousand feet.
It was fortunate that he came back to his senses in time. Otherwise, he might have dug out the underground palace and then he would have fallen and smashed into the headless corpse.
On this thought, Lu Li's body trembled. He took a deep breath and rubbed his face, telling himself to calm down and stay calm.
He had nowhere to go. Either he could take back the immortal's body or he could stay here with the immortal's body forever.
Lu Li did not act rashly at this point. He sat on the ground for the time for one incense stick to burn to let himself be at the peak of his condition.
He picked up the Cold Blade and expanded the nearby passageway by a few feet, digging a huge underground cave nearby.
"This is it!"
The Interspatial Ring on Lu Li's hand glowed as many blood-red wooden talismans came out. The wooden talismans had all kinds of strange patterns and runes on them. They seemed abstruse.
"Go!"
Lu Li picked up a Dead Soul Charm first and threw it toward the ground to his left. He did not dare to use psychic power. He had to rely on his memory to determine the location of the headless corpse.
He threw it with great strength. The Dead Soul Charm was like a small sword. It pierced through the ground and flew downward.
Since Lu Li made the Dead Soul Charm with his spiritual energy, there was a trace of spiritual imprint in it. Lu Li could sense the location of the Dead Soul Charm.
He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on sensing the Corpse Soul Talisman. The Corpse Soul Talisman flew down rapidly, but its speed was getting slower and slower.
"Bang!"
Lu Li felt the Dead Soul Charm sped up and then smashed into an "iron wall". Lu Li trembled. He knew the Dead Soul Charm had bumped into the headless corpse.
"Explode!"
