Chapter 152: The Terrifying Big Eyeball

The sand and stones on the cave walls were swept up, clattering against the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.

Lu Tianyu gave a surprised exclamation: "This aura is the Divine Sense of the Great Vehicle Stage; the Ancestor of the Nether Sect is about to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage here!"

However, a wicked smile then appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The Divine Sense has just broken through, then comes the expansion of the dantian triggering the lightning tribulation, and finally, the Heart Demon Tribulation!"

"The expansion of the dantian will take at least ten days or half a month; I'm afraid you won't have the chance to enjoy your Heart Demon Tribulation, hehe!"

Excitement also filled Yue Lingruo's eyes: "That's right, as long as Master triggers an eruption of the Demon Cave, the interference during his breakthrough will cause him to suffer a cultivation deviation."

"Master is truly amazing!"

Her little face was flushed with excitement.

She felt that adventuring with Lu Tianyu was too thrilling.

They had used a treasure to force their way through a Restriction without anyone appearing, and they had traveled through the monstrous demonic energy of the Demon Cave without incident.

Now, the enemy's Ancestor was about to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage, and they were going in to trigger the Demon Cave and disrupt his Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

There was nothing more thrilling than this.

Whoosh!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron accelerated, rushing toward the area directly below the Demon Cave.

Since the Ancestor of the Nether Sect was cultivating above, there were certainly no Nether Sect cultivators below.

He did not need to be cautious and could just speed his way down.

The only thing Lu Tianyu worried about was encountering demons or demonic beasts of some kind.

With his Divine Sense fully extended, combined with Yue Lingruo's observation, they could avoid most common dangers.

The whistling wind blew past, and although the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was descending against the wind, its speed did not diminish.

As the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron descended, it swallowed demonic energy and converted it into its own power.

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much it swallowed, it was never satisfied and could never be filled.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Thud!

With a muffled sound, the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron hit something and came to a stop.

The massive rebound force sent the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron flying, straight upward.

Lu Tianyu gave an 'eh' of surprise: "What did we hit below that it has such a great rebound force?"

He used all his strength to control the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, but even so, he could not control the force of the rebound.

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron bounced upward for several dozen zhang before coming to a halt.

"I must see what exactly is down there!"

Lu Tianyu slowed his speed as he flew downward, focusing his Divine Sense below.

"Master, I just saw a transparent membrane; we hit it and were bounced back!"

Yue Lingruo blinked her eyes: "It's about ten zhang below."

Lu Tianyu shared his vision with her, which allowed her to observe things he could not see himself.

In fact, Yue Lingruo had never disappointed him.

This made Lu Tianyu feel that bringing Yue Lingruo along was the most correct choice.

"Good!"

Lu Tianyu controlled the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to slow down once more.

Soon, they descended to the membrane.

The membrane covered the entire downward-leading cave.

Yet, strangely, the demonic energy continued to surge upward through the membrane incessantly.

But once the demonic energy came out, it never flowed back in.

From this, it could be seen that the membrane was one-way; demonic energy could come out but could not go in.

Lu Tianyu looked inside through the membrane, but it was pitch black and he could see nothing clearly: "It seems we must break this membrane to get inside."

"Lingruo, can you see clearly what is inside?"

The patterns at the corners of Yue Lingruo's eyes flowed like water, and tiny specks of light flew out, attaching themselves to the membrane.

She sighed softly: "I'm sorry Master, I only saw an eyeball; I can't see anything else."

"That eyeball is too terrifying; I didn't dare look for long."

"Master, let me rest for a moment before I look again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyu was startled: "You saw an eyeball?"

"Lingruo, there is nothing to apologize for; you are my person now, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

"No need to look anymore; it will be dangerous if you look again. What kind of eyeball did you see?"

He knew that Yue Lingruo had already done her best and he could not expect more from her.

That would put Yue Lingruo in danger, which was not what he wanted.

Yue Lingruo's eyes were filled with terror: "Master, I didn't see just an eyeball; what I saw was a huge eye, tightly closed."

She tried her best to describe it in detail: "That eyeball is the size of a millstone, and the eyebrows are long, like a broom."

"The eyelid of that eye is very rough, and there are bumps on it."

"The eye is not open, but I can feel extreme danger. I feel, I feel that if this eye were to open, I would surely die!"

"Master, let's not go down; it's too dangerous here!"

The moment she saw the eyeball, she felt as if her soul was uncontrollably trying to escape.

Moreover, she felt that she would die in the next second.

Even though she had looked away, that sense of fear still remained.

She did not even dare to look a second time.

She felt that if she looked a second time, she would surely die.

But as Lu Tianyu's contract servant, if Lu Tianyu told her to do it, she had no choice but to do it.

Yet how could Lu Tianyu possibly let her take the risk?

Lu Tianyu nodded: "Lingruo, rest assured, I will assess the situation; if it cannot be done, I will leave immediately and will not take you into danger."

Even though Yue Lingruo had given him a warning of danger, he still had to see it for himself.

Since he had come down here, why not fully understand the secrets of this place?

If this eye were to be awakened and controlled by the Netherworld Sect, it would be an extraordinary disaster for the Bahuang Xingyu.

Besides, he must find a way to interfere with the Ancestor of the Netherworld Sect at this critical moment of breaking through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

Yue Lingruo immediately understood: "Young Master must be careful; if you encounter that eye opening, it is best to close your eyes quickly."

Based on her understanding, for eyes with demonic power and Eye Techniques, not making eye contact would avoid a lot of trouble.

"Alright!"

"You should stop looking for now."

Lu Tianyu manipulated the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to circle the surface of the transparent membrane, released his maximum Divine Sense to inspect it, but still could not penetrate the membrane.

He controlled the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to the center of the membrane, flew out of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, and struck the membrane directly with a punch.

Boom!

The fist felt as if it had struck a war drum; the membrane trembled slightly, but it remained completely undamaged.

Lu Tianyu frowned deeply: "What on earth is this membrane?"

"I can be certain this is not formed by an array, nor is it some defensive treasure; what exactly is this?"

Pressing against the membrane to look inside, he could see nothing; he did not possess the Heaven-Reaching Eye like Yue Lingruo, and his vision could not penetrate the membrane to see inside.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lu Tianyu swung his fists in rapid succession, but just like the first punch, the membrane only trembled slightly, showing no signs of breaking at all.

Swish!

Lu Tianyu took out the long spear he had used before, infused it with a mixture of Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi, and thrust it forcefully toward the center of the membrane.

Yet it was still just a dull thud, with no sign of breaking through; even after stabbing it forcefully several times in a row, he could not break it open.
