Chapter 157: Double Pupil Technique!

If there were no interference here, Zong Tianling would certainly break through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

Moreover, among cultivators of the same Great Vehicle Stage, the combat power of a Demon is significantly stronger.

Yet, just at this moment.

Boom—a loud explosion!

The great gate was blasted into pieces by a massive force, and ten thousand rays of golden light subsequently shot into the cave dwelling.

The black Nascent Soul, whose aura had soared to its peak and was just about to break through, seemed to be startled; it faltered abruptly, and then its aura began to slowly decline.

"Ah!"

Zong Tianling let out a miserable shriek, staring furiously at the cave entrance: "Who the hell are you, daring to disturb my advancement!"

Seeing that he was only one final step away from advancing to the Great Vehicle Stage, he could already imagine the scene of himself reigning supreme.

Yet, to be interrupted at this very moment—how could he not be furious?

"Disturbing your advancement?"

A cold female voice rang out: "I am not here to disturb you, but to kill you!"

"A Demon advancing—how could I allow you to live!"

Within Zong Tianling's line of sight, a woman wearing golden armor and holding a Golden Blade walked in slowly.

The aura on this person was rounded and full, natural and innate; at a glance, she was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator.

"Ah!" Zong Tianling yelled, "You, you are a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, how did you get in?"

"Fellow Daoist, you and I are complete strangers; I beg you to show mercy and spare me!"

"Cultivation is not easy, and advancing to the Great Vehicle Stage is one in ten thousand; you know this better than I do."

"I swear, as long as I break through to the Great Vehicle Stage, I will follow your lead, Fellow Daoist!"

His advancement had been interrupted, and he was at his weakest moment, needing to use all his strength to control the Nascent Soul's aura to prevent it from dropping.

Only then, by gathering his remaining strength, could he continue to break through.

But if the Great Vehicle Stage cultivator before him were to strike, he would surely die, without even a chance to escape!

Zong Tianling felt utterly depressed and miserable!

Just as he was about to break through, why did a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator suddenly appear to kill him? This was cutting off his path to survival.

At this life-or-death moment, he had to submit; he would survive first and worry about the rest later.

But the answer to him was the slash of Cui Jinjia's battle blade.

Ssh!

A hundred-meter-long golden blade light cleaved the cave wall, and without the slightest surprise, it instantly sliced his Demon Infant into two pieces.

Also shattered was his body!

Furthermore, the golden light on the Golden Blade had a corrosive and restraining effect on Demonic Qi.

The moment the Golden Blade slashed over, he had no power to resist at all and could only watch the blade strike his body.

"Ah!"

Zong Tianling let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Bang!

The Demon Infant exploded.

A soul body, identical to Zong Tianling, flashed to the cave entrance and then vanished in another flash:

"Vile woman, I will remember you; I will definitely kill you and pull out your tendons and refine your soul!"

It was Zong Tianling's soul body that had escaped.

With his Nascent Soul and body slashed, they were completely ruined, and he could only spirit away his own soul.

There was no other way; if he did not spirit away his soul, he would truly be dead.

At this moment, the only direction he could flee was toward the bottom of the cave.

"Can you escape?"

Then, a golden light flashed, and Cui Jinjia's figure appeared behind him, easily restraining him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several Restrictions were cast into Zong Tianling's soul body, and only then did Cui Jinjia heave a sigh of relief.

"You, who are you?"

Zong Tianling had now completely become meat on the chopping block, with no power to resist.

Yet he was extremely unwilling; before dying, he had to know who killed him, right?

Otherwise, dying like this would be too stifling!

Cui Jinjia did not speak: "You do not need to know!"

"You only need to know that you will die in a moment!"

She put Zong Tianling's soul into a bottle, sealed it, and continued walking downward.

She wanted to see exactly where Lu Tianyu was.

The moment she entered the cave, she knew what Lu Tianyu was trying to do.

It must have been to trigger the violent Demonic Qi in the depths to interfere with Zong Tianling's advancement.

But clearly, Lu Tianyu had failed.

This guy had obtained the skull of a powerful Demon, providing sufficient Demonic Qi energy.

Cui Jinjia had always been puzzled about what Lu Tianyu relied on to enter the depths of the Demon Cave.

And the Dark Turbid Current from that day—how did Lu Tianyu go in and come out safe and sound?

She knew Lu Tianyu had his own secrets.

But now that Cui Jinjia has become the Protector, she must go down to ensure Lu Tianyu's safety and bring him back up.

Her speed of descent was extremely fast.

She also noticed a problem: the demonic Qi in the Demon Cave had actually vanished, not even a wisp was rising upward.

She knew this must have something to do with Lu Tianyu, and she could not help but increase her speed.

At this moment, Lu Tianyu was refining the energy of the big eye and could not stop for a while.

Just then, the voice of Qian Gu Nu Di rang out in his head: "Someone is coming, it should be your Protector!"

"I suggest you hide to refine it; it is best not to let him know about the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron."

Lu Tianyu immediately manipulated the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, shrinking it to the size of a palm, and with a *swish*, it submerged into the stone wall.

Although Cui Jinjia was his Protector, he could not let him know the secret of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, as that would cause unnecessary trouble.

He also detected an aura approaching rapidly from above; it should be Cui Jinjia arriving.

Just as Lu Tianyu entered the cave wall, Cui Jinjia arrived at his original position.

Cui Jinjia let out an "Eh?": "Where is the person?"

"Young Master Lu's aura disappeared right here, how strange!"

She had memorized Lu Tianyu's aura to make it easier to lock onto his position and avoid losing him.

She released her Divine Sense to search the surroundings, but still found nothing.

Cui Jinjia then looked toward the bottom of the cave: "Did he go further down?"

"It is very possible; this kid has always been fearless, I will go down and take a look!"

Without hesitation, Cui Jinjia flashed her figure and headed downward.

Watching the golden figure disappear rapidly, Lu Tianyu shook his head with a bitter smile.

He adjusted his posture and continued to refine and absorb.

He knew that Cui Jinjia would follow him down, surely out of concern for his safety.

But he was currently at a critical moment of refinement and could not stop.

A day and a night passed very quickly.

Lu Tianyu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

There was no expression on his face, but his eyes, black as ink, had become incomparably deep, with circles of mysterious black runes slowly rotating.

Strands of mysterious power were released from within, as if they could suck a person's soul inside.

Whoosh!

A beam of pitch-black light suddenly shot out from his eyes and struck the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.

*Clang! * A sound of metal clashing rang out.

The corners of Lu Tianyu's mouth curled up slightly: "I really didn't expect that after refining the big eye, I would not only possess soul attacks but also the attack of the Double Pupil!"

"What if I refine the bodies of the Demon race? Or the body parts of other Demon races with special abilities?"

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu became excited: "In the future, I must find more Demon races with special abilities and refine them!"

Just at this moment.

A loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the cave!

The entire cave dwelling began to shake.
