I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Shocking Explosion, Both Sides Suffer

“Boy, you’re truly willing to waste something like the Protective Jade Talisman.”

The Lord of Canglan City gazed solemnly at the somewhat illusory figure beside Gongshu Yu, his eyes apathetic.

Though it was merely a fragment of the primordial spirit, he sensed a strong threat from it.

The other person’s original form’s cultivation was at least at the third tribulation of the primordial spirit.

He was only at the first tribulation, far inferior in terms of realm.

Therefore, even with only a fragment of the primordial spirit, he treated it as a formidable foe, daring not to be careless.

The only thing that gave him some relief was the illusion of the other person’s form.

This meant he hadn’t reached the fourth tribulation.

Otherwise, this battle wouldn’t have needed to be fought; he would have simply surrendered.

“Nangong Yuanwu, you asked for this. You’re just an old man with depleted potential, and you dare insult me?

If I don’t make you pay a sufficient price, do you really think the Gongshu family is made of clay?”

Gongshu Yu’s face was icy.

Naturally, he also felt sorry for the Protective Jade Talisman.

The clan had a rule that each direct descendant could only be given one protective jade talisman.

Once used, it was gone.

But he had no regrets.

Even if he could swallow Nangong Yuanwu’s insult, his Dao heart would never be perfect again.

Once there was a flaw in the Dao heart, future cultivation of the [Emperor’s Heart Sutra] would be filled with obstacles, and he would never be able to make the same rapid progress as he did now.

No matter what the trump card or treasure was, it was not as important as one’s own cultivation!

Gongshu Yu was very clear about this.

Since there was an obstacle in the Dao heart, he would shatter it completely at any cost!

Not to mention a protective jade talisman, he would be willing to give up even more important treasures!

“It seems that I underestimated you a little.”

The Lord of Canglan City looked at Gongshu Yu’s slightly ferocious expression and the determination in his eyes, and finally took this junior seriously.

“But even if it’s a Jade Talisman of Protection, what good is it? Even if it’s a fragment of the Three Tribulations Primordial Spirit, it’s rootless and may not be able to harm this City Lord!”

With this, an inexplicable aura emerged from the Canglan City Lord.

He simultaneously cast a magical seal, and from Canglan City below, a magical light suddenly shot up into the sky and descended upon him.

It was the Canglan City Lord who activated Canglan City’s protective formation, channeling its power upon himself.

“Can a formation from Canglan City protect you?”

Gongshu Yu sneered, then bowed to the illusory figure of the old man beside him.

He respectfully said, “Ancestor, this beast has dared to insult our Gongshu clan. Please, ancestor, use your magical powers to subdue and capture this beast and bring him back to our Gongshu clan for punishment!”

As Gongshu Yu pleaded, a glimmer of intelligence suddenly appeared in the illusory old man’s eyes.

His gaze fell on the Canglan City Lord. “You, a youngster, dare to insult the Gongshu family? I will suppress you!” As

soon as he finished speaking, the old man extended his arm, and his palm rapidly expanded.

In an instant, it had grown to over ten miles in size.

Within the lines of his palm, lines of magic intertwined, like a palm covering the heavens, pressing down on the Canglan City Lord.

He intended to capture and subdue him with a single blow.

“Three tribulations of the primordial spirit, the law of heaven and earth?”

The Canglan City Lord sneered at this scene.

“If you were your true self, I would naturally be unable to resist this move. Now you are just a fragment of your spirit, and you think you can suppress me with this?”

A surge of magic power surged from the Canglan City Lord’s body and sank into the magic seal in front of him.

The next moment, the magic seal also expanded rapidly, becoming several miles in size, and smashed towards the old man’s giant palm covering the sky!

Boom!

The collision of the giant palm and the magic seal caused a commotion even louder than the previous clash between the Canglan City Lord and the other two.

The overwhelming pressure caused many of the city’s lower-level cultivators to faint.

Even the weaker Jindan realm masters trembled, nearly losing their balance.

“Is this a battle between mighty Yuanshen?”

A Jindan realm cultivator gazed vacantly at the sky, eyes filled with awe.

It was a reverence for a force far superior to their own.

“The City Lord has blocked it!”

When the commotion in the sky died down, the cultivators below exclaimed in surprise.

High in the sky, a giant palm and a magic seal were locked in a stalemate.

The collision of the palm and the magic seal revealed a situation of evenly matched odds.

The Canglan City Lord, aided by the great formation, was able to temporarily block the illusory elder’s attack.

“Hmm?”

The illusory elder’s gaze flickered.

He didn’t seem to expect his attack to be blocked by a mere First Tribulation Yuanshen.

But soon, his expression returned to indifference.

His body twisted and undulated slightly, becoming even more illusory.

But with the illusory old man’s slight change, the Canglan City Lord felt a sudden surge of pressure.

The giant palm, which had been blocked by him, began to slowly sink, pressing the seal down bit by bit, approaching him.

“This old man is really amazing! I don’t believe that your soul can last longer than mine!”

Without thinking, the Canglan City Lord’s face flushed red, and his mana was activated to the limit, constantly squeezing the potential of the Canglan City formation to provide power for the seal.

He could see that the illusory old man was unleashing his might at the cost of his own primordial spirit.

As long as he could hold out until the other side exhausted the power of his primordial spirit, then he would be victorious.

At that moment, the Canglan City Lord felt incredibly fortunate.

Fortunately, the old man hadn’t reached the fourth calamity of the primordial spirit, the realm of endless vitality.

Furthermore, over the past century, he had cultivated and mastered the seal to its fullest potential.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attack.

“He was actually blocked by this old man?”

Gongshu Yu, observing the battle not far above, was stunned to see Nangong Yuanwu block the old man’s attack. He was

particularly shocked when he saw the old man’s spirit become slightly illusory. He

immediately shouted, “Uncle Cai, Steward, the old man’s spirit won’t hold out for much longer. The two of you go and lend him a hand.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

The two elders didn’t hesitate, and quickly moved over.

They also knew that if the ancestor’s spiritual power was exhausted, they alone would be no match for Nangong Yuanwu.

“Nangong Yuanwu, surrender!”

The two elders dared not enter the area where the giant palm and the magic seal clashed.

The laws nearby were violently distorted. Even if they were at the Yuanshen realm, rashly approaching would likely cause their souls to be shaken and seriously injured.

Therefore, they chose to attack from a distance with their magic weapons.

With their minds energized, they each summoned their own natal magic weapons:

a jade ruler and a string of black beads.

After being summoned, they grew in size, carrying terrifying power, and blasted towards the Canglan City Lord’s physical form.

“You two rats!”

The Canglan City Lord’s eyes widened, and he could only spare a fraction of his attention. Two spirit swords also flew out of his body to meet the attack.

But how could his hastily activated magic swords be a match for the natal spiritual weapons painstakingly cultivated by two Yuanshen realm masters?

Not to mention that he was also using all his strength to activate the magic seal to resist the illusory old man’s giant palm.

Boom!

Two more massive explosions erupted.

The Canglan City Lord summoned his Earthly Magic Sword, only to be blasted back by the innate spiritual instruments of two Yuan Shen realm masters.

His mind was shaken, and blood gushed out.

The giant palm overhead seized the opportunity, pressing down fiercely with magical seals, threatening to subdue him.

To make matters worse, the two elders’ innate spiritual instruments, after blasting their magic swords away, regrouped and continued their assault on the Canglan City Lord’s body.

Under the siege of the three Soul Realm masters, the Canglan City Lord was instantly trapped.

If he were truly crushed, even if he didn’t die, he would likely be completely crippled.

“You forced me to do this!”

Driven by the threat of life and death, the Canglan City Lord’s gaze turned frantic.

His mouth brimming with blood, his face grim, he uttered a word through gritted teeth.

Simultaneously, he formed a seal with his hands.

As he did so, a violent surge of energy erupted from the mountain-sized seal.

“Oh no! He’s going to self-destruct his magic weapon! Young Master, retreat!”

The two Soul Realm elders, sensing this violent aura, their faces drastically changed. They

simultaneously retreated

swiftly, their hands continuously forming spells, their Soul Realm power surging as they unleashed a variety of defensive techniques, layer upon layer, to block their attacks.

The two Soul Realm elders’ reactions were incredibly swift

, but even faster than them was the explosive power of the seal.

As they moved, the mountain-like seal cracked and exploded.

Like the sun blazing across the sky, a dazzling ball of light appeared high in the sky.

The surrounding power of the laws was in full rage.

The immense explosion not only shattered the illusory elder’s giant palm, but

also blew away the natal spirit instruments of the two Yuan Shen realm elders.

The terrifying power swept across the surrounding area at a rapid speed, quickly overtaking the two Yuan Shen realm elders.

In the blink of an eye, the layers of defensive magic they had cast were torn apart, and their bodies were engulfed by the raging power.

“Young Master, move!”

an elder roared as he was overwhelmed by the power.

Gongshu Yu had already retreated at the old man’s warning.

But his speed was too slow for the torrent of power unleashed by the seal’s explosion.

In an instant, he was overtaken.

As he watched the torrent of energy approaching, Gongshu Yu’s face paled.

He could sense that even with his protective magical treasures, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the terrifying torrent of power unleashed by the explosion of this high-level spiritual weapon.

Just as Gongshu Yu was filled with despair, a one-armed figure suddenly appeared before him, shielding him.

The detonation of the magic seal had a far-reaching impact, even affecting Canglan City below.

Fortunately, at the last moment, an immense light barrier rose from the city walls, firmly shielding Canglan City.

Furthermore, when the Canglan City Lord detonated the magic seal, he deliberately directed the blast towards Gongshu Yu and his companions.

The pressure Canglan City faced was significantly less.

As a result, the light barrier of Canglan City, though shaky, ultimately held its ground, preventing it from shattering.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens within the city were spared.

“What just happened?”

After the smoke cleared, a cultivator in the city stood up, looking around in bewilderment.

All around him, he saw devastation and collapsed buildings.

For a moment, he lost track of where he was.

Although Canglan City’s formation had blocked the main force of the explosion, the aftermath

still affected the city, causing many buildings to collapse.

However, the cultivator quickly regained consciousness, realizing what had just happened, and looked up at the sky.

Then, his mouth dropped open in shock.

The giant palm and the seal had vanished from the sky.

Even the City Lord, the ethereal old man, and the two Soul Realm masters had vanished.

The only person still lingering in the sky was the elegant young man.

“What just happened? Where’s the City Lord?”

At the Treasure Tower, the Treasure Tower owner and others were equally bewildered.

From the Canglan City Lord being besieged to his self-destruction of the seal,

everything had happened so quickly.

And the explosion had been horrific.

Even the laws of nature were violently distorted, and everyone’s mind was shaken to a state of complete blankness.

Even they couldn’t clearly understand what had happened.

“The Lord City Lord is here.”

Lu Qing pointed to a nearby location, where a figure lay collapsed amidst the rubble.

Judging by the appearance of the robe, it could only be the Lord of Canglan City.

“Lord City Lord!”

the Treasure Tower owner exclaimed, her figure flashing before the Lord of Canglan City.

Then, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

The Lord of Canglan City had already closed his eyes, his body nearly shattered, barely recognizable.

If it weren’t for his barely recognizable face, she wouldn’t have believed this was the same domineering Lord City Lord from earlier.

“Lord Tower, the Lord City Lord is still alive. He must be treated immediately!”

a deputy tower owner said as he came over to take a look.

“Yes, we have to treat the city lord!” The owner of the Treasure Tower came to his senses and immediately ordered, “Hurry and get the best healing medicine in the treasury!”

“I’m afraid it’s too late.”

At this time, Lu Qing also came over.

Seeing the severity of the Canglan City Lord’s injuries, he was secretly shocked.

Just a

hair’s breadth away, this person would have been completely annihilated. While others didn’t know what had happened, he saw it clearly.

This person, at the critical moment of his life, had directly self-destructed his spiritual weapon.

That Dharma seal was no ordinary magical weapon, but a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Its detonation was devastating.

Even this person was within the blast radius.

If he hadn’t forcibly controlled himself at the last moment, falling into the light barrier of the formation within Canglan City, he

would have likely perished by now.

Lu Qing casually released a talisman, which hovered above the Canglan City Lord’s body. A

white light, emanating a rich vitality, emanated from the talisman, illuminating the Canglan City Lord’s body

, causing the wounds to slowly heal.

However, observing the slow healing speed, Lu Qing couldn’t help but frown.

Although the other person’s injuries were healing, the vitality within his body had not increased much.

He immediately activated his supernatural power, and soon, a note about the current condition of the Lord of Canglan City appeared in his field of vision.

Then, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Lu Qing’s eyes.

“It’s a spiritual injury? No wonder ordinary healing talismans are difficult to cure.”

“Friend Lu, how is the Lord of the City?”

The owner of the Treasure Tower and others asked with concern.

“The Lord of the City’s injury is very troublesome and cannot be cured by ordinary talismans.” Lu Qing answered truthfully.

“Besides, our current troubles have not been completely resolved.”

Lu Qing pointed to the sky.

At the same time, Gongshu Yu’s cold voice also came from the sky.
