I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 798
Chapter 797 Mutual Schemes, Seizing the Treasure Vault, Pleading
As Lu Qing headed towards Tian Sheng Peak, he pondered the situation.
After this battle, he had gained some understanding of the strength of the Dao Integration Realm.
While a mere divine sense avatar was no match for him, destroying it would still require considerable effort.
Therefore, he deduced that against a true Dao Integration Realm expert, his current strength would likely be insufficient.
After all, Luo Yuantian’s divine sense avatar only possessed cultivation; it lacked any magical treasures or talismans.
Yet, even so, its sheer superior cultivation level made it stronger than almost any Nascent Soul Realm expert.
Against the true body, a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, further enhanced by powerful magical treasures, its strength would likely be hundreds or even thousands of times greater.
With Lu Qing’s current strength, he would still be unable to match it.
“Stop right there! What do you want?”
Luo Yuantian’s expression changed immediately upon seeing Lu Qing heading towards Tian Sheng Peak.
However, Lu Qing ignored him and continued flying forward.
He couldn’t easily kill Luo Yuantian’s divine sense avatar, but similarly, the other party couldn’t stop him.
Now that almost all the elders of the Holy Alliance were dead, he naturally wanted to reap his spoils.
Seeing Lu Qing treat him as nothing and head straight for Tian Sheng Peak,
Luo Yuantian was furious but helpless.
Although he wasn’t afraid of Lu Qing, this divine sense avatar alone couldn’t do anything to him.
This demon possessed the great divine power of the Great Dao of Strength, and its power had already exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul Realm.
In the Great World, it was practically invincible.
Even a Dao Integration Realm expert, under the restriction of the world’s will, was no match for him.
If he insisted on entering Tian Sheng Peak, he really had no way to stop him.
However, there were still the soul lamps of a group of elders inside Tian Sheng Peak, and he couldn’t watch them be destroyed.
Otherwise, the elders would truly perish completely, with no possibility of resurrection.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuantian could only grit his teeth, his body suddenly dissipated, turning into a gentle breeze, and also fled towards Tian Sheng Peak.
In the current situation, he could only hope to collect the elders’ soul lamps before Lu Qing could.
Sensing Luo Yuantian’s clone dissipate, Lu Qing was initially stunned, then realized something. His power surged, and he shattered space with a single step, accelerating towards Tian Sheng Peak.
Watching Lu Qing’s figure disappear into the vast Tian Sheng Peak, ignoring them
, the cultivators who had collapsed to the ground below finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
All their faces showed expressions of relief at surviving a calamity.
There was no way around it; what had just happened was simply too terrifying.
The demon’s power was beyond everyone’s imagination.
A group of elders and a vice-alliance leader at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation were all brutally destroyed by him.
Even the alliance leader couldn’t stop him and could only beg for reconciliation.
How could such a scene not shock the cultivators below?
Especially the scene of Lu Qing transforming into a giant thousands of feet tall, unleashing overwhelming power, filled them with awe and fear.
Everyone had thought they were about to be crushed by Lu Qing at will.
Fortunately, he seemed to disregard them, not even glancing at them before heading towards Tian Sheng Peak.
“Perhaps, in that demon’s eyes, we are nothing more than ants, which is why he disdains killing us,”
the cultivators slumped on the ground couldn’t help but think.
At this moment, they had never felt so fortunate about their weakness.
If their strength were as great as those elders, they would probably have been killed by that demon with a single blow.
Lu Qing, of course, was unaware of the thoughts of the cultivators below.
He was rushing towards Tian Sheng Peak at top speed.
Although he had killed all the elders earlier, the Tian Yuan Locking Heaven Array hadn’t been completely broken; the effect of sealing space remained, preventing Lu Qing from using spatial teleportation.
However, thanks to his powerful physique, his speed was equally impressive, and he quickly arrived at Tian Sheng Peak.
Previously, his sword had left a hundred-mile-long sword mark on Tian Sheng Peak, yet a large number of buildings remained standing, unaffected.
Lu Qing’s first instinct was naturally to find the place where the elders’ soul lamps were enshrined.
He had clearly killed Elder Xing years ago, but he had seen him resurrected.
Lu Qing understood that these Holy Alliance elders must have created split souls and soul lamps to secure their own escape routes.
Since he had already forged a mortal enmity with the Holy Alliance, he needed to be even more ruthless.
Lu Qing activated his ability, quickly scanning the buildings.
Numerous notes appeared in his vision, which he swiftly read.
Soon, Lu Qing’s gaze settled on a towering black tower in the distance.
Without hesitation, he immediately flew towards it.
At this moment, Lu Qing regretted not having preserved the souls of one or two elders.
That way, he could have used the Soul Searching Technique to gain a complete understanding of Tian Sheng Peak’s situation.
He had been caught up in the killing frenzy and had momentarily forgotten about this.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Qing arrived before the black tower and charged inside without hesitation.
As he approached the gate, the array guarding the black tower seemed to sense the intruder, its light flashing and a barrage of attacks raining down on Lu Qing.
These array attacks were powerful; even a Nascent Soul Stage 5 expert would find it difficult to withstand them and would have to dodge their attacks.
But how could they possibly harm Lu Qing?
He didn’t even try to dodge, letting the attacks fall on him.
The next moment, all the array attacks were absorbed by him like mud oxen entering the sea, transforming into his own power.
Then, Lu Qing formed a sword with his fingers, unleashing a sword aura that instantly cleaved through the black tower’s gate, and rushed inside.
As soon as he saw inside, he saw Luo Yuantian standing there, surrounded by an empty space.
Clearly, this Dao Integration Stage expert had arrived first and collected all the soul lamps within the black tower.
“As expected of a Dao Integration Realm expert, I am completely humbled by this escape technique.”
Lu Qing couldn’t help but praise upon seeing this.
His reaction was fast enough, but he still couldn’t match this person’s speed.
The Dao Integration Realm was indeed formidable; even though Luo Yuantian didn’t cultivate the Dao of Space, his speed was still terrifyingly fast, beyond his reach.
A higher realm meant greater power.
“As expected, your target was the elders’ soul lamps.”
Luo Yuantian, seeing Lu Qing, also felt fortunate.
Luckily, he reacted in time; otherwise, if he had been a few breaths slower, things would have been irreversible.
“This time, I lost to you, but your luck won’t be so good next time.”
Seeing that the soul lamps had been taken, Lu Qing felt regret but didn’t dwell on it too much.
He turned and left the Black Tower.
“Just like that?”
Luo Yuantian was taken aback when he saw Lu Qing leave so abruptly.
He had thought this demon would at least linger, but he left so decisively.
Just then, a loud boom came from outside.
Hearing the direction of the sound, Luo Yuantian’s expression suddenly changed: “Not good, it’s the location of the treasure vault!”
His body vanished instantly, and Luo Yuantian fled at top speed.
As a holy land of the human race, the Holy Alliance naturally possessed a treasure vault.
Moreover, the resources within were extremely abundant.
Luo Yuantian had been focused on collecting the elders’ soul lamps first, but had momentarily forgotten about this greatest treasure.
As he transformed into a gentle breeze and flew rapidly towards the treasure vault,
he witnessed a truly astonishing scene.
Lu Qing, transformed into a thousand-foot giant, smashed a palace with a single blow, then tore through the ground, pulling out a treasure vault directly from the depths of the earth.
Large amounts of mud and rocks fell from the sky. Although the array around the treasure vault flickered with light, emitting countless bolts of lightning and flames that attacked Lu Qing’s palm, it had no effect whatsoever.
Lu Qing’s palm merely trembled slightly, and a surge of light absorbed all the array’s power,
causing the entire treasure vault to dim.
At the same time, a cloth bag at Lu Qing’s waist flew out, growing larger in the wind until it became as large as a mountain, swallowing the treasure vault whole.
Seeing this, Luo Yuantian had no choice but to stop abruptly, revealing his true form, watching this scene with shock and anger.
He didn’t understand how Lu Qing knew the location of the treasure vault. Could it be that there was a traitor in the Holy Alliance who told him in advance?
“Haha, old man, what’s wrong? If you have the guts, then rush into the treasure vault. I want to see if you can take this treasure vault from my hands!”
Lu Qing laughed loudly when he saw Luo Yuantian appear.
He knew the location of the treasure vault naturally because he had discovered it incidentally while using his special ability to check the place where the soul lamp was placed.
Having witnessed Luo Yuantian’s methods, he immediately made a decision to take over the treasure vault first.
Seeing Lu Qing’s arrogant demeanor, Luo Yuantian, though furious, truly dared not rush into the vault.
Although his cultivation level was high and his ability to transform into a wisp of wind was profound, he was not omnipotent.
Entering the vault now, and having Lu Qing store it in his magic treasure, would leave him trapped and suppressed on the spot.
If it were just him alone, it wouldn’t be so bad; it was merely a divine consciousness clone, and its loss wouldn’t matter.
However, he was currently carrying the primordial spirit of Vice Alliance Leader Han, as well as the soul lamps of a group of elders.
If these things fell into Lu Qing’s hands, everything he had just done would be meaningless.
Therefore, even though he was unwilling, he could only watch as Lu Qing used the Qiankun Yiqi Bag to take over the treasure vault.
Having successfully stored the vault, Lu Qing made a move, and the Qiankun Yiqi Bag quickly shrank, landing at his waist.
He also retracted his true sorcerer form, returning to his normal appearance, and looked at Luo Yuantian.
“It seems you planned this all along, even scouting the location of the Holy Alliance’s treasury beforehand,” Luo Yuantian said coldly.
At the same time, he was deeply shaken.
Seeing Lu Qing transform into a giant for the second time, he finally understood some of the clues.
The demon’s abilities seemed somewhat similar to the legendary ancient sorcerer’s divine powers.
Could this demon be a descendant of the ancient sorcerer?
Luo Yuantian recalled certain ancient rumors, and his expression darkened further.
“Old man, although you managed to take those soul lamps with your cultivation level, resurrection isn’t so easy to perform. Without the resources in this treasury, let’s see how you resurrect them.
In the next ten years, I want you to watch their demise!”
Lu Qing didn’t answer Luo Yuantian’s question, but instead mocked him.
Luo Yuantian’s expression turned ugly.
Because Lu Qing was right.
While the resurrection technique was profound, it wasn’t so easy to perform.
Firstly, resurrecting a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator requires a vast amount of resources.
Furthermore, the higher the cultivator’s pre-death realm, the greater the resources required.
This time, the Holy Alliance lost so many elders, each with a cultivation level above the fifth tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The resources needed to resurrect them all were unimaginable.
Even exhausting all the Holy Alliance’s resources might not be enough.
To make matters worse, the treasure trove storing these resources was taken by Lu Qing.
This only exacerbated the situation.
Although Luo Yuantian was at the Dao Integration Realm, he didn’t possess many resurrection resources.
Therefore, it was destined that a large portion of the elders would be unable to be resurrected.
More importantly, the resurrection technique had a significant limitation:
once the main body died, the avatar became rootless and had to be resurrected within ten years.
Otherwise, if the deadline was missed, the avatar would still dissipate, resulting in complete demise.
Therefore, even if Luo Yuantian wanted to gather the resources himself, he might not be able to collect such a massive amount in such a short time.
Lu Qing’s move, cutting off his supply lines, instantly put him in a completely passive position.
“So you planned this all along,”
Luo Yuantian said, his face darkening as he looked at Lu Qing, increasingly finding this demon terrifying.
“Likewise,” Lu Qing replied calmly, “You won a move against me just now, I’m merely retaliating.” “I told you, they all have to die. I want to see how many you can save.”
Luo Yuantian stared intently at Lu Qing, his expression shifting constantly.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, “Fellow Daoist, do you really intend to kill them all so quickly? Do you know that not all the elders of the Holy Alliance are hostile towards you? Some elders even tried to stop everyone from dealing with you beforehand.”
“But they still attacked me in the end, didn’t they?” Lu Qing remained unmoved. “Since they attacked, they should bear the consequences themselves. If I had lost today, do you think I would have had a chance to live?”
Luo Yuantian fell silent.
Although he knew that some elders did indeed want to take a more gentle approach to dealing with Lu Qing.
However, if Lu Qing had lost earlier, he would have only one fate.
“Fellow Daoist, is there really no room for negotiation?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Yuantian pleaded with Lu Qing.
“These elders may have made a mistake, but they have indeed protected the human race of this world. Although you are not from the Tianyuan Great World, you are still a human cultivator. Do you really want them all to die?”
Seeing Luo Yuantian’s pleading expression, Lu Qing remained silent.
Finally, just as Luo Yuantian was about to despair,
Lu Qing spoke: “It’s not that we can’t negotiate, as long as you agree to a few conditions.” (End of Chapter)
