I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 650

Chapter 650: Life and Death, Despair and Hope

As the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace sacrificed her hairpin, the world suddenly changed color.

The surrounding spiritual energy erupted into a turmoil, and the hairpin transformed into a Chilong, carrying an incomparably terrifying aura, sweeping towards Cang Jue.

Furthermore, the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace slashed her palm, forcing a stream of her essence blood onto the Chilong.

Suddenly, the Chilong’s might intensified, even resonating with the laws, exploding its power.

Witnessing this terrifying scene, the previously boisterous group of demons fell silent and retreated,

fearing the Chilong would erupt in rage and blast them with the terrifying spiritual weapon.

Even Cang Jue, sensing the Chilong’s might, grew serious.

He could tell the woman before him was determined to risk everything, to fight him to the death. The

other woman’s spiritual weapon, though barely reaching the mid-grade level, was vastly inferior to the top-grade magic weapon gifted to him by his father. It was completely incomparable.

Yet, driven by the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace, who spared no expense, even sacrificing her own essence and blood, the power remained terrifying.

If he hadn’t prepared, he might not have been able to withstand this attack.

Cang Jue, always cautious, felt the threat from the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace’s attack and immediately grew serious.

With his mind urging it, a black bone claw burst forth from his body, crushing the Chilong before him.

The claw’s impact froze the Chilong, which had previously charged forward, causing the laws of heaven and earth to resonate.

Not only was its momentum halted, but it was also forced back repeatedly by the claw’s pressure, on the verge of being forcibly torn from its state of resonance.

“Is it still not working?”

The Saint of the Azure Sky Palace observed the scene, a look of resignation in her eyes.

This hairpin, a mid-grade, low-level spiritual artifact, had been given to her by her master before their departure.

Originally, according to her master’s estimation, a mid-grade spiritual weapon as a trump card should have been more than enough to help her survive the trial.

After all, spiritual weapons are treasures not everyone possesses, even at the Soul Formation Realm. A mid-grade spiritual weapon is even more so only available to those at the Soul Formation Realm.

For a Jindan Realm cultivator to possess a mid-grade spiritual weapon is already a formidable trump card.

But she hadn’t expected to encounter a demon like Cang Jue, possessing a top-grade magical weapon.

At their level, everyone has reached the ninth level of the Jindan Realm, their cultivation levels comparable. Naturally, the competition would focus on Taoist techniques and magical weapons.

A powerful spiritual weapon, in particular, can more than double a cultivator’s strength.

Cang Jue wielded a magical weapon comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon, far more powerful than her Chilong hairpin. Even with her utmost effort, she was still no match for it.

However…

the Saintess of the Biluo Palace fixed her gaze, a look of determination on her face.

Suddenly, she formed several complex hand seals, and a surge of blood energy emerged from her, transforming into a blood-red rainbow that hurled itself at the Chilong, which was being crushed by the bony claws.

The next moment, as if saturated with a tonic, the Chilong roared, its aura amplified, its power surged, its retreat halted, and it even showed signs of resisting.

However, after inducing this blood-red light, the Saintess of the Biluo Palace’s aura suddenly weakened.

It was obvious that she had performed some extremely exhausting secret technique.

“Hmph! Desperate resistance!”

Upon seeing this, Cang Jue’s eyes flashed with a dark light. The black bony claws suddenly grew larger, suddenly grasping the Chilong. Black flames erupted from the claws, quickly spreading and enveloping the Chilong, incinerating it.

The power of the black flames was evidently immense. As soon as the Chilong was enmeshed, it roared in pain and thrashed and struggled. The spirit within it wailed.

However, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not free itself from the black bone claws. It could only twist madly, constantly being burned by the black flames.

Finally, the Chilong spirit, unable to bear the torture and severely injured, retreated into the depths of the spiritual artifact, never to emerge again.

The Chilong hairpin was also burned, revealing its true form, reverting to a white jade hairpin, which fell into Cang Jue’s hands.

As for the Saint of the Biluo Palace, whose mind and spirit were linked to the Chilong hairpin, she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her veil red.

Her entire aura was utterly weakened.

Barely able to maintain her form, she teetered in mid-air.

“As expected, we’re still outmatched. The gap is too great!”

The dozen or so figures in the mysterious space observed this scene without any surprise.

There was no way around it; the power of a top-grade magic weapon was simply that overpowering.

The Saint of the Biluo Palace had fought with all her might, but still could not inflict any damage on Cang Jue.

“Look, that kid from the Elephant Tribe and the one wearing the Ghost Face Mask are almost here.”

“So what if they do? Cang Jue controls a top-grade magic weapon, making him inherently invincible. Even if they manage to get there, they’ll only add two more souls to the pile.”

Looking at the approaching elephant demon and Lu Qing on the light curtain, no one was optimistic about them anymore.

Even with Cang Jue’s strength, even if they attacked personally without the aid of magic weapons, they might not be able to subdue him.

And what about two guys who were both in the Golden Core Realm?

“Bitch, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them.”

Elsewhere, Cang Jue collected the Chilong hairpin, which had been incinerated by his magic fire until its true form was revealed.

Although it was a human spiritual weapon and he couldn’t use it for the time being, he would ask his father to perform a ritual to refine it after returning, transforming it into a demonic form. Then he would have another powerful magic weapon.

The Saint of the Biluo Palace stared intently at the demon before her. She knew that in her current state, it was impossible for her to inflict any harm on the demon.

Even if she tried to escape, she had no chance.

“It seems you’ve run out of tricks. If so, I’ll fulfill my promise and reward you to the demons behind me. Now, let me see your true appearance.”

A dark aura surged towards the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace. She tried to dodge, but it was too late.

She felt a chill on her face as the veil she’d been wearing was peeled off.

A stunningly beautiful face appeared before all the demons.

The bloodstains on her face added a touch of melancholy.

Upon seeing the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace, not only did Cang Jue’s eyes light up, but the demons behind him erupted in a commotion, their gazes filled with lust.

They hadn’t forgotten Lord Cang Jue’s promise to reward them with this human woman.

“Very good, very good, slut, you are indeed quite pretty, even comparable to the succubi of our demon clan. I have changed my mind. Those ugly creatures following me are not worthy of you.

I will take you back to the Demon Realm and make you my own, forever lying on the ground and serving me!”

As Cang Jue spoke, the demons behind him fell silent. They had never expected that Lord Cang Jue would go back on his word, breaking it in the blink of an eye.

Despite their displeasure, none dared to express it.

They could only avert their gazes, pretending nothing had happened.

“Evil demon, don’t even think about it!”

The Saint of the Azure Sky Palace knew that if she truly fell into the hands of this demon, she would be in a state worse than death, subjected to endless humiliation.

With this thought, she no longer hesitated. A strange aura suddenly emanated from her body, and her power surged again.

“Fairy Luo, don’t!”

The Daoist from Daoxu Temple, on the ground, sensed this aura and his face suddenly changed drastically. He ignored his own injuries and shouted loudly.

He recognized the aura emanating from the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace as the one that threatened to self-destruct her golden elixir.

“Hmph! You wanted to self-destruct your golden elixir, but you asked me?”

Just as the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace’s aura was about to reach its peak, the demons in the distance sensed an immense danger and tried to flee.

Suddenly, a powerful, repressive force descended upon the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace.

Not only did it paralyze her, but even her rapidly energizing golden elixir, which was on the verge of self-destruction, completely stopped, unable to spur it on.

It was Cang Jue who noticed something was amiss. Black flames emerged from his body and, using the power of black bone claws, he suppressed the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace.

“No!”

Feeling the terrifying repressive force and the completely paralyzed golden elixir, a look of horror finally appeared on the Saint of the Azure Sky Palace’s face.

She couldn’t imagine what would happen to her if she truly fell into the hands of these demons.

Suddenly, endless despair welled up within her.

She began to regret not self-destructing the moment she was defeated. That might have given her a glimmer of hope.

“Bitch, I told you, death is impossible in front of me. Just come back with me obediently. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well. Hahahahaha…”

Seeing the despair on the face of the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sky Palace, Cang Jue burst into another burst of gleeful laughter.

He loved seeing this look of despair on the faces of his enemies.

To him, it was more intoxicating than even the finest magic wine.

Seeing Cang Jue’s wild laughter, the creatures present had mixed reactions.

The demons were in awe, the Daoxu Temple Taoist was filled with hatred, and the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sky Palace was filled with despair.

Cang Jue waved his hand, and the suppressed Holy Maiden of the Azure Sky Palace slowly began to fly towards him.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly shifted, and he gazed off into the distance.

“Oh, two more people seeking their own death?”

He quickened his pace, snatched the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace to his side, affixed a demon-suppressing talisman to her, and gazed forward.

Meanwhile, Daoxu Temple’s Taoist priest and the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace also sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching from two directions, and a glimmer of hope crossed their faces.

The Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace, in particular, gazed forward with even greater hope.

She could sense that the two approaching auras were incredibly powerful, no less formidable than her own.

If they engaged Cang Jue in battle, perhaps they might still have a chance of escaping.

“Bitch, are you thinking these two auras approaching now can save you?”

Just as the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace’s expression showed hope, Cang Jue’s sinister voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her reverie.

“I tell you, it’s useless. No one in this trial space can stand against me. You are destined to follow me back to the Demon Realm. Just watch as I shatter your hopes!”

As Cang Jue finished his words, two streaks of light appeared in their field of vision, moving from far to right and left. They approached from afar, quickly arriving in front of them and stopping, revealing two figures.

One was a stocky elephant demon with a trunk and large ears.

The other was a mysterious figure wearing a black cloak and a ghostly mask.

Upon seeing the two figures, the Saint Maiden of the Biluo Palace’s initial hope suddenly faltered.

Not only the elephant demon, but even the mysterious figure wearing the mask looked unlikely to be a righteous member of their race.

Even if a fight broke out between these creatures, they likely wouldn’t stand a chance of escape.

“The demon king of the elephant clan, and a cloaked individual?”

Cang Jue’s face flickered with surprise upon seeing the elephant-trunk man and Lu Qing.

He hadn’t expected the arrival to be a demon clan and a shady individual.

“Demon?”

The man with the elephant trunk took notice of Cang Jue, a solemn expression on his face.

He sensed a deeply dangerous aura from the demon before him.

He then glanced at Lu Qing, draped in a black cloak, and his heart trembled again.

He couldn’t underestimate this mysterious figure wearing a ghostly mask.

“Demons and demon clan? And, who are those two…”

Lu Qing was also somewhat surprised to see Cang Jue and the man with the elephant trunk.

But even more surprising were the Saintess of the Biluo Palace and the Taoist priest of the Daoxu Temple lying on the ground.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these two were the same ones he had met in the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain.

He hadn’t expected to encounter them again, after all these years.

And judging by the situation, their situation seemed precarious.

With a thought in mind, Lu Qing had already activated his supernatural powers to investigate the information before him.

“You two have come here for the Jade Talismans, haven’t you? If so, then hand over the Jade Talismans you possess, then kneel before me and submit to me. I may consider sparing your lives,” Cang

Jue spoke first.

Hearing such arrogant words, the man with the elephant trunk frowned before Lu Qing even spoke.

“You’re being too arrogant, aren’t you, Excellency, asking me to submit to you?”

“Why, you don’t want to?”

A sinister glint flashed in Cang Jue’s eyes.

“If you want the jade talisman, it’s simple. We of the Elephant Tribe respect strength. If you can defeat me, I will hand over the trial jade talisman. As for my submission, you are not qualified,”

the man with the elephant trunk said coldly.

“Very well, beast, I have changed my mind. I will definitely tear off your long trunk and twist off your elephant head. When the time comes, you will regret why you didn’t beg for mercy and surrender in time.”

Cang Jue said with a devilish look on his face.

“No wonder this evil demon speaks so arrogantly. It turns out he controls a high-grade magic weapon.”

By this time, Lu Qing had already discovered Cang Jue’s information. Looking at the note in his field of vision, he suddenly realized something.

Just as he was surprised, he saw Cang Jue suddenly glance over, as if he had noticed something.

With a purple light in his eyes, he stared at Lu Qing closely: “Reptile, your eyes really dislike me.”
