Chapter 153: This Is Actually an Eye Membrane!

"I don't believe I can't pierce you!"

Lu Tianyu began to strike fiercely, pouring ninety percent of his strength into the spear, booming toward the protrusion in the very center.

Doop!

A small pit was dented into the center of the membrane, but then, with a 'pop' sound.

Lu Tianyu and his spear were bounced away, flying back several dozen zhang before he could barely steady his figure.

"This membrane actually has such great rebound force!"

"It seems I cannot break it; must I leave just like this?"

Lu Tianyu was extremely unwilling.

His original goal was to trigger a chaotic eruption of the demonic Qi here, causing the Ancestor of the Netherworld Sect to fail his advancement.

It seemed this could no longer be realized.

Ninety percent of his strength could only make the membrane dent a little; no matter how he bombarded it, it was to no avail.

If he didn't consider the time and just dawdled here, perhaps he could break it open with continuous bombardment.

But the time consumed would be too long; before then, the person from the Netherworld Sect would have broken through to the Great Vehicle Stage, and by then he would truly become a turtle in a jar, held firmly in their grasp.

Yet, he was unwilling to leave just like this.

Lu Tianyu circled the edge of the membrane, carefully inspecting it, wanting to find some flaw.

If it really didn't work, he could only go out first and let Cui Jinjia come in to kill the old thing.

However, his secret would be exposed that way.

Although Cui Jinjia had become his Protector, he had only just come into contact with Cui Jinjia and did not yet dare to trust him one hundred percent.

Just at this moment, the voice of Qian Gu Nu Di sounded: "Husband, let me remind you, this membrane is something from a person's body; with your strength, you can definitely break it."

"Something from a person's body?" Lu Tianyu was slightly startled upon hearing this, "Something from a person's body is explained like this?"

He couldn't quite react.

A membrane on a person's body shouldn't be this tough, right?

Lu Tianyu racked his brains to think with all his might, but he couldn't think of anything that could have such resilience.

"Husband, think again; what is inside is an eye, so what is on the outside?"

Qian Gu Nu Di guided Lu Tianyu once more.

Lu Tianyu was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized: "Could it be an Eye Membrane?"

"Is an Eye Membrane this tough?"

Qian Gu Nu Di was very certain: "Of course it is. The bodies of the Demon Race are different from humans, especially those Demon Race members with special abilities."

"Some Demon Race bodies are incomparably tough, and no matter how you attack, you cannot break their defense."

"Like this Demon Head with an Eye Technique, it is normal for the Eye Membrane to possess such defense."

"Presumably, the Zhengdao Alliance destroyed this Demon Head's body but could not destroy this Demon Head's eye, so they sealed it here."

"They even built a sect on top of it, making it even harder to discover."

"Kulu Zong must have discovered it by some accidental chance; otherwise, this sect would not have risen so quickly."

"They demonized a part of their own bodies, causing their combat power to exceed those of the same rank, but they dared not fully demonize for fear of being attacked by the masses."

"Now, hurry and find a way to break this Eye Membrane; you can do it."

Qian Gu Nu Di was also very certain that Lu Tianyu could break it.

Lu Tianyu knew that Qian Gu Nu Di was guiding him.

His thoughts raced: "Since it is something of the flesh, then it fears..."

In just a few short breaths, Lu Tianyu thought of a method.

He gripped the long spear with both hands, injected all of his Fire Attribute Gang Qi into it, and with a loud shout, charged toward the membrane.

Pfft!

The spear tip struck the center of the membrane and actually sank into it a little bit.

Swoosh!

Lu Tianyu was still bounced away.

But he said excitedly: "There's a chance!"

"Kill!"

He gripped the spear and charged fiercely again, body and spear as one, attacking the same spot.

The force of this attack was much greater than the last.

Pfft!

The spear tip sank in further, almost piercing halfway into the membrane.

As long as he charged with fierce force, he could pierce through the membrane in just three more strikes.

Once a small hole appeared in the membrane, he could control the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to drill through the small hole.

As for the eye inside, according to Yue Lingruo's reminder, he just needed to avoid making eye contact with it.

He could leave once he found a way to destroy it.

Swish, swish, swish!

Lu Tianyu brandished his long spear and charged fiercely again.

Pfft, pfft!

With two consecutive fierce stabs, the transparent membrane was clearly about to be pierced through, with only a very thin layer remaining.

It was just one last strike away from being pierced.

Just at this moment.

Boom—!

A massive humming sound came from overhead, and the entire cave shook several times.

"Is that old fellow about to break through?"

Lu Tianyu sneered: "How could I possibly let you break through? I will cut off your source right now!"

He pointed his fingertip at the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron: "Change for me!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron grew rapidly in size.

Clang!

The widest part of the cauldron's body jammed into the cave's exit, wedging against the cave walls and blocking it completely.

At the same time, an extremely powerful suction force erupted from the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, drawing the demonic Qi in the cave inside one after another.

Youming Old Ancestor wanted to use the demonic Qi to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage, but Lu Tianyu directly cut off his source, making it impossible for him to absorb the demonic Qi energy, so the breakthrough would naturally terminate.

Woo, woo, woo~

The mouth of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the demonic Qi and converting it into its own energy to repair and restore itself.

Lu Tianyu gripped his spear with both hands: "Kill!"

Pfft!

The spear tip pierced the center of the membrane, puncturing a small hole without any suspense.

Furthermore, under the erosion of the Fire Attribute Gang Qi, the small hole was slowly expanding.

He did not pull out the long spear immediately, fearing that the Eye Membrane would recover to its original state, which would make his efforts go to waste.

The methods of the Demon race are very strange.

Lu Tianyu was suddenly overjoyed: "Your Eye Membrane is so tough, I must collect it for my own use; leaving it here would be a waste."

"Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, collect it for me!"

Previously, the passageway had been completely blocked by the Eye Membrane, but now that there was a hole in the middle, it was leaking, and he estimated he could take this treasure away.

The facts were exactly as such.

Clang, clang!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron left its original position and slammed into the Eye Membrane with a boom.

Lu Tianyu formed seals with both hands, urging the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron with all his might: "Suck for me!"

A huge suction force was generated from the mouth of the cauldron, acting upon the membrane.

Creak, creak!

The Eye Membrane emitted a strange sound and trembled lightly, seemingly struggling to resist the suction of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.

Lu Tianyu's eyes were full of excitement: "Resistance is useless; obediently give up resisting, you cannot hold out!"

Creak, creak, creak, creak!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron and the membrane engaged in a tug-of-war.

But Lu Tianyu knew that the Eye Membrane being absorbed was only a matter of time; the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron had jammed the opening, and the suction would only grow greater.

And at this moment, a loud explosive sound came from where Zong Tianling was in seclusion.

Black Qi raged within the cave dwelling, accompanied by sounds of roaring: "Ah!"

"Which turtle grandson is it, actually cutting off the demonic Qi, that turtle grandson!"

Pfft!

His body shook violently, and he opened his mouth to spew out a large mouthful of blood.

This was not the end; pfft, pfft, pfft, he spewed out three more mouthfuls of black blood in succession.

He had originally been at the critical moment of breaking through, with the cave dwelling's gate wide open, absorbing demonic Qi with all his might.
