I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 685

Chapter 685: The Three Deputy Palace Masters and the Demon King Appear

In mid-air, Lu Qing watched the scene left behind after the black void vanished.

Below, a smooth, hemispherical crater, several miles wide, appeared on the ground.

It was as if some ancient behemoth had swallowed it whole.

Clearly, it had been devoured by the black void as it expanded.

“The power of space is truly terrifying.”

Looking at the crater-like hole, Lu Qing’s heart was shaken.

With his current strength, blasting such a massive crater wouldn’t be too difficult.

But to instantly devour all matter and annihilate it was far more difficult.

No wonder those in the Soul Realm, after entering the Fifth Tribulation, begin to comprehend the power of space; such power is truly terrifying.

After standing in silence for a moment in the air, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

As Elder Xing had said before his death, if he had truly reported what had happened here back to the Holy Alliance,

then even more powerful beings would likely arrive soon. It was no longer advisable to remain here any longer

; it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Lu Qing found a direction and quickly left.

However, he did not enter the territories of the human and demon races on either side. Instead, he headed north along the Myriad Demons Mountains.

At his current speed, he would have disappeared hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

Shortly after Lu Qing left, the sky above the huge pit suddenly twisted, and three figures appeared in mid-air.

All three figures appeared human, with serious expressions. They exuded a powerful aura, and invisible spatial fluctuations lingered around them.

However, when they saw the situation below, they couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.

“What’s going on?”

One of the old men looked solemn. He moved slightly, and a glass lamp suddenly appeared in his hand.

Mana surged gently, and the next moment, a shadowy figure emerged from the glass lamp.

Its face was that of Elder Xing.

“Elder Xing, what’s going on? That evil demon has vanished, and even your main body is nowhere to be found.”

The shadowy figure resembling Elder Xing’s spirit concentrated and sensed the situation, its expression suddenly becoming utterly grim.

“My main body has self-destructed!”

“What? Self-destructed?”

The three powerful figures were all shocked upon hearing this.

“Since you warned us, we’ve rushed here at top speed. How long has it been? And yet, you’ve forced your main body to self-destruct? Is that evil demon really that powerful?”

the old man asked, frowning.

“That evil demon is truly terrifying, more terrifying than any spirit realm being I’ve ever encountered.

I’ve never seen a spirit realm as strange as that.

Now, I’ll show you, the Deputy Palace Masters, the memories that my main body had previously transmitted to me.”

Elder Xing finished his words, then formed a hand gesture, manifesting the soul memories he had received from his main body before the three powerful figures.

Suddenly, images materialized in mid-air.

It was the scene where Elder Xing, upon receiving a message from the middle-aged man in the purple robe and his companions, had rushed to the Myriad Demon Mountains. Then, upon seeing Lu Qing about to execute the two Myriad Beast Sect disciples, he intervened.

Three powerful figures watched intently.

Initially, their expressions remained calm, but upon witnessing the appearance of the True Martial King, their demeanor shifted.

“The True Martial King has actually taken that crucial step. It seems the Demon Realm will soon have another Five Tribulations Demon King,”

one of the figures said gravely.

The Five Tribulations Soul had already, to a certain extent, influenced the overall situation.

However, before this figure could finish his sigh, he saw the True Martial King being sent flying by Lu Qing’s punch. He paused, a look of disbelief on his face.

“What? The True Martial King, halfway to the Five Tribulations realm, was sent flying by a single blow?”

The other two powerful figures were equally astonished.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

In the scene, King Zhenwu was knocked back by a punch, enraged, and manifested his true form as a demonic ape.

However, the three powerful figures were utterly defeated by the demonic ape.

Not only was King Zhenwu’s arm shattered by a single punch, but he was also crushed to a pulp by a single palm strike.

Their eyes widened as they watched Lu Qing’s punches create rifts in space, and his palms unleash turbulent currents.

“A fist breaks the void,” the old man muttered. “This demon clearly hasn’t grasped the laws of space, yet he’s forcibly shattered it with his own strength. Just how powerful is his physical form?”

Next, they watched as Lu Qing, suppressed by Elder Xing and the combined power of the two clans’ spirits, manifested his true form as a wizard.

He not only broke free from all restraint, but also unleashed a wave of sword energy that left Elder Xing in a state of panic, forcing him to struggle with all his might.

The two large formations formed by the two clans’ primordial spirits were destroyed by Lu Qing’s palms. After the powerful primordial spirits were shattered into pieces, they were completely refined.

The three powerful figures were shocked and could no longer hold their composure. Their faces all changed drastically.

However, at this moment, the picture in the air suddenly disappeared.

“Elder Xing?” The old man immediately turned his head.

Seeing Elder Xing’s body becoming more illusory, he smiled bitterly.

“Deputy Palace Master, these are the only soul memories transmitted by the main body. I don’t even know what happened afterwards. I think it was because the situation was too critical. The main body didn’t even have time to transmit the memory again, and it exploded its primordial spirit.”

The three powerful figures fell silent.

They naturally knew that while the Soul Realm could split into separate souls, the main body and the souls were not always connected.

Especially when separated by great distance, secret techniques were required to communicate.

Clearly, Elder Xing’s main body had self-destructed after using the secret technique to transfer his memories.

The massive crater beneath his feet was the result of the detonation’s force.

It was unknown what became of the evil demon, whether it perished alongside Elder Xing’s main body or escaped.

As Elder Xing’s form grew increasingly ethereal, the old man sighed and said, “Alright, leave the rest to us. Elder Xing, return to the Soul Lamp and rest. We’ll discuss your resurrection upon our return.”

“Thank you, Deputy Palace Master,”

Elder Xing rejoiced. He saluted the three powerful figures before transforming into a stream of light and escaping into the glass lamp.

The fragment of his soul he left behind wasn’t strong to begin with, and after performing the secret technique and manifesting memories, it was further depleted, weakening it even further.

Only within the soul lamp could it slowly recover; it was unwise to remain outside for too long.

After Elder Xing entered the soul lamp, the old man put it away.

“Palace Master Wu, have you decided to resurrect Xing Jian?” a figure asked.

“Of course. Xing Jian has traveled extensively for the Holy Alliance over the years, performing numerous tasks. His accumulated merits are sufficient to qualify for a resurrection,” the old man nodded.

“What about the other Soul Realm cultivators?”

“Let’s follow the rules. Even within the Holy Alliance, the resources required for resurrection aren’t plentiful, and with so many eyes watching, we can’t go beyond the rules. We

‘ll check their merits when we get back, and whoever meets the requirements will be resurrected.”

“Alright, follow the rules, and no one will have any complaints,” the figure nodded.

After the three of them had agreed on the resurrection, silence returned.

After several breaths, the old man spoke, “Two Vice Palace Masters, please tell me what you think about this matter.”

“This evil demon’s origins are truly mysterious. He doesn’t seem like someone from our Tianyuan World,” a powerful figure pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Indeed, this evil demon’s body is incredibly powerful, clearly not something that can be cultivated through ordinary body-refining techniques.

In our Tianyuan World, neither the demon nor the devil possesses such powerful body-refining techniques.

Furthermore, he’s also proficient in swordsmanship. According to Elder Xing, the sword energy he emitted seems to have a strong connection to the Potian Sword Sect,”

a third figure added.

“His physical body is incredibly terrifying, capable of shattering the void with his flesh. He’s also proficient in the way of the sword, capable of severing a Four Tribulations Soul with

his sword. Such a being could never be from our Tianyuan World.” “You’re all right. This evil demon can’t possibly be from our Tianyuan World,” the old man nodded. “And I’ve begun to understand why his physical body is so powerful.”

“Palace Master Wu, do you know the secret of this evil demon’s physical body?”

the other two were startled and asked hurriedly.

They knew that while they were all deputy palace masters of the Holy Alliance and held equal status,

they were far inferior in terms of experience and knowledge to this veteran soul who had lived for countless years.

“If I’m not mistaken, the body-refining technique this evil demon cultivates is most likely the legendary technique of the Wu clan, passed down from ancient times.”

“Wu clan?”

The two powerful figures exchanged glances, their words completely unfamiliar.

“It’s understandable that you haven’t heard of them. The Wu Clan is a powerful race that survived in the distant past.

Legend has it that this vast starry sky was once controlled by this powerful race.

However, for unknown reasons, this powerful race later vanished into history.

It was during my time exploring the starry sky that I learned some information about this ancient race in a certain ethereal cave.

Rumor has it that the Wu Clan is a formidable race focused on cultivating their physical bodies.

Their bodies are far more powerful than those of our current demons and monsters, practically on a different level.

Legend has it that after reaching a certain level of cultivation, members of the Wu Clan can cultivate unfathomable physical abilities.

Those at a high level can even unleash the power of Dharma, expanding their bodies to tens of thousands of feet in size, collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, and overturning rivers and seas.

The most powerful Wu Clan masters can even grasp stars and moons and step on worlds. Their terror is beyond description!”

“Catching the stars and the moon, stepping on the worlds…”

The other two deputy hall masters gasped at the old man’s description.

They found it difficult to imagine what kind of being could accomplish such a terrifying feat.

Perhaps even a mysterious being above the primordial spirit couldn’t possess such supreme power.

“It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? I was also incredulous when I first learned of these things. However, the Void Cave I accidentally entered is also extremely ancient and difficult to trace, so this information isn’t necessarily fabricated.”

The other two deputy hall masters were overwhelmed and fell into a long silence.

“By the way, in the image just displayed by the Xing Sword, the evil demon transformed into a giant a hundred feet tall. Could it be that he was practicing the techniques of the Wu clan?” a deputy hall master suddenly asked.

“Besides this, I can’t think of any other reason,” the old man said. “This evil demon’s body is incredibly strong, surpassing any known physical cultivation techniques.

Perhaps only the secret techniques of the ancient witch clan could achieve such an effect.

During the Tianshu Divine Mountain incident, didn’t this evil demon enter a secret realm devoid of spiritual energy and inhabited by powerful beasts?

I suspect that secret realm is a relic of the ancient witch clan.

This evil demon’s witch clan techniques may have been obtained from there.”

The other two deputy hall masters recalled the events of that year and the subsequent information their Holy Alliance had gathered.

They nodded slightly, believing that what Hall Master Wu said made sense.

Furthermore, Tianshu Divine Mountain has always been incredibly mysterious. Over the years, their Holy Alliance has explored it countless times, yet they have yet to decipher its mysteries.

No one knows what secrets lie within its very core.

“I really want to see the ancient witch clan’s skills, what they’re really like,” a deputy hall master couldn’t help but sigh.

“Unfortunately, all the aura here was completely wiped out by the power of the Sword Master’s self-detonation. I don’t know if the evil demon was sucked into the depths of the void, or if it escaped.”

“Given the power displayed by that evil demon, I think even if Xing Jian self-destructed his Yuan Shen, he wouldn’t be able to defeat him. So, it’s very likely that the evil demon has already escaped.”

“If he’s escaped, where has he fled to? To our human territory, or into the demon realm?

There’s no aura here, so even if we wanted to deduce his presence, we’d be lost.

Furthermore, it’s said that this evil demon not only possesses a rare treasure that can block causal calculations, but also controls a spatial artifact.

If he uses that artifact, wouldn’t it make our search for him even more difficult?”

The three deputy hall masters spoke, their situation becoming increasingly daunting.

The evil demon was formidable; even a Yuan Shen at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation wouldn’t be a match for him.

While he hasn’t comprehended the laws of space, he controls a spatial artifact that allows him to teleport.

Furthermore, he possesses a treasure that blocks causal calculations, making his descent impossible.

Having such a formidable enemy lurking in the shadows, hostile to their Holy Alliance,

was a real headache for even them.

Boom!

Just as the three of them were in a dilemma, they saw another wave of movement in the void ahead.

The next moment, several figures emitting the aura of ancient beasts suddenly appeared. (End of this chapter)
