I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 802
Chapter 801 The Demon Capital, Suppressed by One Hand
“Ah Qing, you mean, we’re going to the Demon Clan’s territory?” Xiao Li’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right.” Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He wasn’t so magnanimous as to not fight back after being attacked.
Since the Demon Clan had come to besiege him, they should be prepared to be killed in return.
He summoned the Void Flying Boat and flew in with Xiao Li.
The next moment, a spatial vortex appeared, and the Void Flying Boat plunged into it and disappeared.
Demon Realm, the capital, in a huge and majestic palace.
This palace was called the Demon King’s Palace, a holy place revered and longed for by countless people in the Demon Realm, and also the place where the Demon Kings usually held meetings.
But at this moment, the palace was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
More than ten figures sat silently on the thrones.
There were many more thrones, but they were empty.
After a while, the powerful figure sitting at the top finally spoke.
“So, you went to the Holy Alliance of the Human Race, intending to join forces with them to kill that demonic primordial spirit from back then, but instead, he turned the tables and killed you all?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man who was almost indistinguishable from a human.
Only his pair of golden vertical pupils revealed his difference from humans.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, yes.”
A figure with a lion’s head answered with shame.
If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize this lion-headed man as the Golden Lion Clan Demon Emperor he had killed on Heavenly Saint Peak.
However, his aura was much weaker at this moment, barely reaching the level of the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
“A cultivator who was only at the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm decades ago can now crush you all.” The
golden-eyed middle-aged man’s expression was somewhat incredulous.
“Your Majesty, the Primordial Spirit Realm is an anomaly and cannot be viewed in the usual way.”
The Golden Lion Emperor recalled the scene of his death, and an uncontrollable fear rose in his heart.
“That demon’s current strength is practically invincible at the primordial spirit level. With just one punch, it killed me and the Demon Bull King. I think the elders of the Holy Alliance are likely in grave danger as well.”
The Golden Lion King and a group of other powerful demons had been killed by Lu Qing and hadn’t witnessed the subsequent battle.
However, based on Lu Qing’s displayed strength, the Golden Lion King was certain that the Holy Alliance elders couldn’t withstand the terrifying demon.
The other figures on the throne trembled upon hearing this, their expressions showing shock.
The strength of the Golden Lion King and the Demon Bull King was undeniable; they were beings above these demon kings, almost second only to the “Emperor.”
Even they were killed with a single punch—just how powerful was that demon?
“Not necessarily.”
The middle-aged man with golden eyes shook his head, offering a different perspective.
“With things escalating like this, Luo Yuantian can’t possibly stand idly by. As long as he intervenes, that demon won’t be able to cause any trouble.”
The Golden Lion King opened his mouth.
He naturally knew who Luo Yuantian, whom the “Emperor” was referring to, was—a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm and the true guardian of humanity.
However, he felt that with the demon’s terrifying strength, even a Dao Integration Realm expert descending with a divine sense fragment might not be able to suppress it.
But considering that the “Emperor” was also at the Dao Integration Realm, saying this might displease him.
Therefore, the Golden Lion Emperor hesitated and ultimately chose to remain silent.
But the middle-aged man with golden eyes was no ordinary being; how could he not see the Golden Lion Emperor’s expression?
He immediately understood that the Golden Lion Emperor had been traumatized by the demon’s primordial spirit.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man with golden eyes felt a pang of disappointment.
Being traumatized by a demon’s primordial spirit of the same realm—with such a weak Dao heart, the Golden Lion Emperor would likely never break through his limits and reach the Dao Integration Realm.
In the future, the demon race would still need him to shoulder the burden.
Indeed, although their demon race was exceptionally talented and born powerful,
they were still far inferior to humans and demons in terms of Dao heart cultivation.
However, the middle-aged man with golden eyes didn’t reveal his true thoughts.
Instead, he comforted the Golden Lion King: “Alright, Lion King, you’ve just been resurrected. Go back and rest first. After a few days, once the Ancestral Demon Tower is restored, I will resurrect the Demon Bull King and the others as well.” The
resurrection techniques of the demon race differ somewhat from those of the human race.
Most importantly, the Ancestral Demon Tower within their territory allows them to resurrect more easily than humans, thanks to
its resources. However, resurrecting a demon king with the Ancestral Demon Tower also requires a large amount of resources.
Resurrecting an eighth-tribulation demon king like the Golden Lion King is even more demanding; it would take at least several days for him to recover and be used again.
“Yes, I’ll take my leave now.”
The Golden Lion King also felt his weakness and wanted to quickly return to his clan to rest and recover his cultivation.
He immediately stood up, preparing to leave.
But just then, he saw the middle-aged man with golden eyes suddenly change his expression.
Slightly startled, before he could even ask, he sensed an incomparably powerful aura appearing above the capital.
“This is…”
Sensing this aura, the Golden Lion Emperor’s expression changed drastically, almost jumping up.
He was all too familiar with this aura.
“Your Majesty, it’s that demonic primordial spirit! He’s come after us in the Demon Realm!”
Feeling the terrifying aura, the Golden Lion Emperor’s heart trembled.
He understood immediately that the elders of the Holy Alliance, just as he had suspected, hadn’t been able to kill this demon.
They were probably all killed, just like them.
Heavenly Saint Peak was likely already a ruin.
“Oh, so this is the demon?”
Sensing Lu Qing’s unbridled aura, the golden-eyed middle-aged man showed interest.
“Could it be that Luo Yuantian was delayed by something and didn’t send down his divine sense avatar to suppress him? Perfect, let me deal with him then! Daring to run wild in my Demon Realm, let’s see how many lives you have!”
With that, the golden-eyed middle-aged man’s figure vanished from the throne.
“Your Majesty…”
Upon seeing this, the Golden Lion King was extremely anxious and hurriedly called out.
However, it was too late. Before the words could even be uttered, the golden-eyed middle-aged man had already vanished.
The other demon kings exchanged bewildered glances.
But they quickly recovered and disappeared from their thrones as well.
“You…”
The Golden Lion King grew even more anxious upon seeing this.
However, he had just been resurrected and was extremely weak, possessing only the strength of someone newly entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Even if he wanted to use spatial teleportation, he lacked the strength.
In the end, he could only transform into a stream of light, flying out of the Demon King’s Palace and ascending into the sky.
“Little White, is this the capital of your demon race?”
High above, Lu Qing stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at the vast city below.
Beside him, the white dragon, now half the size of a human, also hovered.
“Yes, Your Excellency, below lies our demon race’s most prosperous capital.”
The white dragon gazed at the capital, a complex expression in its eyes.
When it was young, it had lived there for a considerable time.
Its father and mother were still alive then, showering it with love and care.
That period was the happiest time of its life.
It never imagined it would one day return here.
“It’s good that we haven’t come to the wrong place.”
Lu Qing nodded slightly, unabashedly releasing his aura.
Just then, his expression shifted slightly as he looked ahead.
He saw a middle-aged man with golden vertical pupils, who had appeared high in the sky, curiously scrutinizing him.
Upon seeing this golden-eyed man, the white dragon trembled violently.
Although it didn’t know who the man was, its instinctive feeling instilled an indescribable fear in its heart.
“White dragon, go back to the Fire Cauldron first.”
Lu Qing noticed the white dragon’s condition and, without hesitation, gently swept it into the Fire Cauldron.
“Is this the white dragon you took away back then?”
The middle-aged man with golden eyes didn’t stop them upon seeing this, but instead asked.
He didn’t take a mere Golden Core Realm white dragon seriously.
On the contrary, Lu Qing surprised him.
Because he could now see that Lu Qing was an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul.
Logically speaking, an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul wouldn’t be worth his attention.
But considering what the Golden Lion Emperor said, this person had only just passed the Nascent Soul Tribulation and entered the Nascent Soul Realm decades ago, that was extraordinary.
To cultivate from the initial Nascent Soul Realm to the Eighth Tribulation in such a short time.
Even he had never heard of such a cultivation speed.
For a moment, the middle-aged man with golden eyes couldn’t help but become somewhat solemn.
“Not bad, I didn’t expect that there would be a Dao Integration Realm existence among the demon race. No wonder they can occupy such a vast territory.”
Lu Qing calmly activated his supernatural ability and looked at the other party.
He could naturally judge that the middle-aged man with golden eyes in front of him was, like Luo Yuantian, a Divine Sense Split.
But to be on the safe side, he still needed to investigate the other party’s background.
“You can tell my origins?” The middle-aged man with golden eyes was somewhat surprised.
“A Dao Integration Realm expert, though elusive, I have had the opportunity to meet you several times.”
Since the other party wanted to talk, Lu Qing did not refuse.
He looked at the information on the note that was slowly appearing in his vision, and his heart became more certain.
“Since you know I am a Dao Integration Realm expert, you still dare to so blatantly release your aura in front of me?”
The middle-aged man with golden eyes felt Lu Qing’s unrestrained aura and asked strangely.
He couldn’t understand what gave Lu Qing the confidence to face him so calmly.
At this time, the other demon kings had also arrived in the sky.
However, seeing that the “Emperor” was talking to the other party, they did not overstep their bounds, but stood far away on the outer perimeter, vaguely forming a surrounding formation.
Lu Qing ignored all of this, and even when he saw the Golden Lion Emperor flying up from behind, his expression did not change, but instead he chuckled.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Although the Dao Integration Realm is powerful, it’s not invincible in this Tianyuan Great World. Your divine sense avatar might not be able to do anything to me.”
“It seems you’re quite confident.”
The golden-eyed middle-aged man wasn’t angry; instead, he felt even more serious.
He could sense that Lu Qing wasn’t bluffing, but genuinely confident.
To cultivate to this level, one couldn’t be a fool.
In that case, the other party did indeed have something to rely on.
“Enough with the nonsense. I’ve come here for no other purpose. Back then,
several demon kings of your demon race joined forces to kill me when I was just undergoing my tribulation.
Three days ago, you joined forces with the Holy Alliance of the human race to try and kill me.
I’m here now to settle this score with you.”
Having already ascertained the golden-eyed middle-aged man’s background, Lu Qing had no interest in continuing the pretense.
“You want to settle scores with us?”
Upon hearing this, the golden-eyed middle-aged man seemed to have heard a joke, somewhat incredulous.
“You slaughtered all the demon kings of our demon race, and now you come to settle accounts with us?”
“That’s right.” Lu Qing said calmly, “I don’t want to commit unnecessary killings, but if this debt isn’t settled, then there’s no need for this demon realm capital to continue existing.”
Looking at the expression on Lu Qing’s face, the golden-eyed middle-aged man understood that the other party wasn’t joking, but serious.
His expression gradually turned cold.
He sighed, “It seems I’ve been too lenient, allowing even an eighth-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator to dare to speak recklessly in front of me.”
The golden-eyed middle-aged man’s mind stirred slightly, and he was about to teach Lu Qing a lesson, to make this arrogant Nascent Soul cultivator who didn’t know the immensity of the heavens and the earth recognize reality.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he felt his shoulder suddenly become heavy.
He didn’t know when, but Lu Qing had already appeared in front of him, his hand gently resting on his shoulder.
“How is this possible?!”
The golden-eyed middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He instinctively wanted to back away, but he was horrified to find that Lu Qing’s hand on his shoulder was incredibly heavy.
It was as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him, leaving him unable to break free for a moment.
“Mysterious Earth Golden Dragon, you walk the path of earth and metal, don’t you? It seems your understanding of the Dao of Space is far less profound than Luo Yuantian’s.”
Lu Qing placed his hand on the shoulder of the golden-eyed middle-aged man and sighed softly.
“What? You’ve met Luo Yuantian?”
Upon hearing this, the golden-eyed middle-aged man was shocked again.
He had previously thought that Luo Yuantian might have been delayed by something and hadn’t been able to send down his divine sense avatar, which was why he hadn’t been able to suppress Lu Qing and allow him to come to the Demon Realm.
But now, it seemed that he had already met Luo Yuantian?
More importantly, Lu Qing had just called him Mysterious Earth Golden Dragon, indicating that he knew his true form.
His true form exposed in a single sentence, coupled with the oppressive force on his shoulder, the middle-aged man with golden eyes suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
“Of course I’ve seen him. Luo Yuantian’s understanding of the Great Dao is far superior to yours. Even I was somewhat unable to subdue him for a short time.”
Lu Qing’s voice was calm, but every word struck the middle-aged man with golden eyes like a thunderclap.
His unease grew stronger. No
longer caring about his composure, he suddenly let out a wild roar, and a pair of dragon horns grew from his forehead, scales slowly appearing on his face.
He no longer maintained his human form, wanting to transform into a dragon to fight Lu Qing.
After the transformation, the middle-aged man with golden eyes’ power increased greatly, and he began to struggle fiercely, trying to break free from Lu Qing’s oppressive hand.
“Be quiet.”
Just then, Lu Qing said calmly.
Then the middle-aged man with golden eyes felt as if an entire world was pressing down on his shoulder, rendering him immobile once again.
