I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 896

Chapter 894 Cold Malice, Ready to Erupt

The Deputy Abbot transformed into a streak of black light, swiftly traversing the starry sky.

His speed was immense, many times faster than those Supreme Elders at the Dao Integration Realm.

Wherever he passed, space trembled slightly, leaving a faint black trail, like a black ribbon, slowly dissipating in the starry sky.

He hadn’t actually wanted to act personally.

For so many years, he had endured in seclusion at the Black and White Temple, always keeping a low profile and never easily revealing his strength.

He deliberately suppressed his aura, making himself appear as nothing more than an ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

Even the intelligence gathered by the righteous forces described him only as “Deputy Abbot of the Black and White Temple, cultivation level unknown, suspected to be in the mid-to-late stage of Dao Integration.”

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

He didn’t want to expose his strength at this critical juncture.

That would only attract the attention of the righteous forces, making them more wary of them.

Although those righteous forces were not particularly powerful, if they united, they would be a considerable force.

At this crucial moment in the plan, he didn’t want to create unnecessary complications.

But in the current situation, it seems that no one in the temple besides him can stop that insidious rat that is constantly destroying the branch altars.

Even the two elders who went to investigate were defeated, which clearly shows that the opponent is not someone that an ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator can handle.

Although those two elders were not particularly strong, they were still Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

To be able to kill them silently, the opponent’s strength must be at least at the mid-to-late stage of Dao Integration Realm.

Unfortunately, those useless people like Mo Cangtian had already perished once before, and even after being resurrected with a lot of resources, they only had the strength of the initial stage of Dao Integration Realm. They are currently in seclusion and are of no use at all.

As for the other elders… they are either not strong enough or are far away in other immortal realms, unable to help in the immediate crisis.

But if that insidious rat continues to cause destruction like this, the destruction of too many Heavenly Demon Pools will also affect their blood sacrifice.

Each of those Heavenly Demon Pools was built with countless efforts. Losing one or two can be tolerated, but if too many are lost, the entire plan will be affected.

After much deliberation, the Deputy Abbot felt that only by going there personally could he break the deadlock.

“Very well,”

he thought to himself, a cold glint in his eyes.

“Back then, when those righteous ants besieged us, neither the Abbot nor I had recovered our cultivation, so we couldn’t act and could only let them rant outside. Now, it’s time to let these lower realm ants witness my power.”

Thinking this, the Deputy Abbot no longer hesitated and quickened his pace, moving in that direction.

He remembered that the last branch altar that had lost contact was in that direction.

The person who had secretly attacked should still be nearby.

As long as he found him and dragged him out, things would be settled.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in the Deputy Abbot’s eyes.

He hadn’t eaten a being at the Dao Integration level for a long time and was somewhat nostalgic for that taste.

Meanwhile, in another part of the starry sky, Lu Qing’s divine sense clone had just destroyed the seventh Heavenly Demon Pool.

His palm was open, and in his palm, a group of Black and White Daoist disciples dressed in black and white robes were in a state of utter chaos.

Some were kowtowing and begging for mercy, their foreheads pounding against the ground with loud thuds, blood streaming down their faces.

“Spare us! Spare us! I was only following orders, I didn’t want to kill those people!”

some cried out, cursing loudly, their faces contorted with rage , veins bulging.

“You wait! The Black and White Temple will not let you get away with this! The Master will avenge us!”

Others lay limp on the ground, their faces filled with despair, trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word.

They were all different in appearance and reaction, but they shared one thing in common: they were all stained with a thick aura of resentment.

It was the resentment of countless living beings, clinging to them like black threads, binding their souls.

The intensity of that resentment fueled Lu Qing’s killing intent.

Amidst the commotion, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

He stared blankly at these scum, as if looking at a group of dead men.

He gently clenched his fist.

All sound ceased instantly.

The group of Black and White Temple disciples didn’t even have time to scream before they were completely crushed, their bodies and souls annihilated.

Their physical bodies turned to dust, their primordial spirits crushed into fragments, leaving not even a trace of their souls behind.

Lu Qing released his grip, and the dust scattered across the starry sky, swallowed by the surrounding starlight and vanishing completely.

He left the branch altar expressionlessly.

This was already the seventh Black and White Temple branch altar he had destroyed.

Seven branch altars, seven Heavenly Demon Pools, countless Black and White Temple disciples, all reduced to dust by his hand.

But he felt no joy.

Because in each Black and White Temple branch altar, he witnessed a scene of utter carnage and overwhelming resentment.

Those mountains of bones and pools of blood, countless wailing vengeful spirits, that demonized world…

each represented the tragic deaths of countless lives.

He didn’t know how many vengeful spirits he had purified, how many lives had been buried in those blood pools.

He only knew that the numbers were too vast, too vast for him to bear in thought.

And the Black and White Temple had countless other branch altars like this.

What he had destroyed was only a small fraction of them.

How could Lu Qing possibly be happy about this?

What he wanted most now was to destroy all these branch altars, leaving none alive.

Once his main body’s Dao Integration Body reached its limit, he would go to the Black and White Temple headquarters, drag out that old codger hiding in his lair, and utterly crush him.

He would make those scum pay for their blood debts.

Lu Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and continued to rapidly teleport through the starry sky, heading towards the next Black and White Temple branch altar.

His speed was incredible; each step covered billions of miles.

The surrounding stars rushed past, transforming into streaks of light.

Suddenly, his mind stirred slightly, and he stopped.

He hovered in the starry sky, coldly staring in a certain direction.

He could feel an incredibly strong malice emanating from that direction.

That malice was tangible, viscous and cold, making him feel uneasy.

Moreover, judging from the speed at which it approached with such malice, it was clearly aimed at him.

Its speed far surpassed that of the previous Black and White Sect elders, indicating its hostile intentions.

“Finally, a big shot has arrived?”

Lu Qing’s mind stirred, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He had previously killed two Black and White Sect Dao-Merging Elders who had come to stop him; while their auras were not weak, they were far inferior to this malice before him.

Clearly, this must be a powerful figure of considerable status from the Black and White Sect.

Perhaps a top elder, or even a figure of even higher rank.

Lu Qing did not dodge, but simply hovered quietly in the starry sky, awaiting the arrival of this malice.

He wanted to see just who the Black and White Sect had sent.

Just as Lu Qing’s thoughts were turning, the space not far in front of him rippled.

The ripple was violent and intense, completely different from his spatial teleportation.

His teleportation was like a fish entering water, silent and stealthy, while the arrival of this figure was like a boulder crashing into a lake, creating ripples.

The next moment, a strange figure dressed in a black and white Taoist robe appeared.

The person was tall, half a head taller than the average person, with his hands hanging at his knees, his posture somewhat strange.

His face was shrouded in an eerie black mist, making it impossible to see his features, only a pair of eyes were faintly visible in the black mist, emitting a ghostly light.

The light was cold, cruel, and bloodthirsty, sending chills down one’s spine at first glance.

What caught Lu Qing’s attention even more was the terrifying malice emanating from the figure.

This malice was far more intense than any enemy he had encountered before.

It wasn’t the killing intent of an ordinary cultivator, but something far more bizarre and terrifying. It

was viscous, almost tangible, staining the surrounding space with a faint black hue.

Lu Qing vaguely sensed a similarity between this malice and the dark power deep within the Dark Abyss.

It was a power not belonging to this world—

cold, violent, and filled with a destructive desire.

Lu Qing’s gaze narrowed slightly.

He had seen this power before.

In the Dark Abyss, on the corpses of Xuanhua Grandmasters, and on the countless demonic fire monsters, he had felt similar auras.

However, the malice emanating from this figure was more restrained and profound, and more human-like.

It seemed suppressed and restrained by some will, yet ready to erupt at any moment.

“Interesting,”

Lu Qing thought to himself, but remained outwardly calm.

The figure also saw Lu Qing.

He hovered in the starry sky, a hundred feet away from Lu Qing, facing him from afar.

His eyes, faintly visible in the black mist, scrutinized Lu Qing, a mixture of scrutiny, curiosity, and…greed.

The two remained locked in this standoff for a moment.

Then, Lu Qing spoke first.

His voice was calm, devoid of any emotion, yet tinged with contempt.

“Finally, a barely passable demon brat has arrived? I thought the Black and White Sect would only send those useless trash to their deaths.”

Upon hearing this, the deputy sect leader’s eyes flashed with coldness.

He snorted coldly, his voice hoarse and low, like the scraping of metal.

“So it’s you, you rat in the gutter, who’s been secretly sabotaging the Black and White Sect’s plans?”

His gaze swept over Lu Qing, and suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly.

He sensed it.

The young man before him was not his true form, but a divine thought avatar.

This startled the deputy sect leader.

He never expected that the one secretly sabotaging the Heavenly Demon Pool would be a divine thought avatar.

A mere divine thought avatar possesses such power—capable of slaying a Dao Integration Realm elder, destroying the Heavenly Demon Pool, and even making him feel a sense of danger?

Just how powerful must his true body be?

The Vice Abbot’s mind trembled as he carefully examined Lu Qing’s face.

Upon seeing him, his expression immediately changed.

He recognized that face.

It was the face highlighted in the intelligence reports given not long ago after the main bodies of Mo Cangtian and the others were killed. The

extraordinary cultivator who achieved the Dao Integration Realm with nine Great Daos.

The Vice Abbot hadn’t expected that this person was the one secretly sabotaging their plans.

What alarmed him even more was that the other party had only recently achieved the Dao Integration Realm, yet even a mere divine thought avatar evoked a sense of danger in him.

That sense of danger, though faint, was undeniably real, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, making him instinctively uneasy.

His intuition told him that although this young man was only an avatar, if they were to fight, he might not be able to defeat him easily.

A mere avatar, and he felt threatened?

Then how powerful must his true form be?

A chill ran through the Deputy Abbot’s heart.

The Abbot had previously guessed that although Lu Qing had merged with the Nine Great Daos and possessed limitless potential, he had only recently broken through and needed time to grow.

Therefore, they could ignore him for now and deal with him after the plan was completed.

But now it seemed that the Abbot had guessed wrong.

The growth rate of this kid far exceeded their expectations.

How long had it been? In such a short time, his divine sense clone had already become so powerful.

If he were given more time to continue growing…

the Deputy Abbot dared not think any further.

He instantly realized that if they didn’t eliminate this kid as soon as possible, he would be the biggest obstacle to their plan.

It might even cause the entire plan to fail.

Instantly, the Deputy Abbot’s killing intent surged.

The light in his eyes became even colder, and the malice emanating from him grew even stronger.

“So it was you.” He spoke coldly, his voice tinged with both fear and killing intent. “Mo Cangtian and the others died at your hands.”

Lu Qing said calmly, “That’s right, it was me. What, you want to avenge them?”

“Avenge?” The deputy abbot sneered, his tone full of disdain. “Those few pieces of trash, they’re dead, so be it.

I just didn’t expect you to dare come looking for me.

You should have hidden away, cultivated properly, and come out when you were strong enough.

Instead, you’re courting death like this.”

“Could you even die?” Lu Qing also laughed, his smile laced with mockery. “You?”

A flash of anger crossed the deputy abbot’s eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly, “Boy, I know you’ve merged with the Nine Great Daos, and your strength is extraordinary.

But you’ve only recently broken through, and you haven’t even reached the minor completion stage of your Dao-Merging Body,

have you? Do you think you can be arrogant in front of me with just a divine sense clone?”

Lu Qing said calmly, “You can try.”

The deputy abbot said nothing more.

He knew that saying anything more would be superfluous.

This battle between the two was inevitable.

The Vice Abbot’s malice began to surge wildly.

Black mist emanated from him, staining the surrounding space pitch black.

Within the mist, countless faces struggled and wailed—the souls of beings he had devoured, imprisoned within, never to be reborn.

His aura rose steadily.

Mid-stage Dao Integration, Late-stage Dao Integration, Great Completion of Dao Integration…

He climbed all the way to the peak of the Great Perfection of the Dao, just one step away from the complete Dao Integration realm, before stopping.

The sheer power and intensity of his aura caused the surrounding stars to tremble slightly.

Lu Qing watched this scene, his expression remaining calm.

However, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

The peak of the Great Perfection of the Dao Integration realm.

This was the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.

Moreover, the power emanating from his opponent, similar to that of the Dark Abyss, forced him to be wary.

That power was strange and powerful, something that shouldn’t exist in this starry sky.

But Lu Qing did not retreat.

He took a deep breath, and his aura began to surge.

Various profound Daoist meanings emerged from his body. (End of Chapter)
