I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 897

Chapter 895 Restraint, Starry Sky Trembles

As countless Dao principles surged within him, Lu Qing made the first move.

He extended his palm and gently patted the Black and White Temple’s deputy abbot, who exuded a strange malice.

This palm strike appeared slow and light, as if it were merely a casual wave, devoid of any real power.

However, in the deputy abbot’s eyes, it was a completely different experience.

He felt as if the world had turned upside down the moment Lu Qing struck.

The spatial power within a radius of ten thousand miles surged and churned, as if stirred by an invisible hand, forming a massive vortex.

This vortex, centered on Lu Qing, expanded in all directions, distorting, deforming, collapsing, and shattering wherever it passed.

Ultimately, it unleashed unimaginable spatial power.

More importantly, this spatial power was constantly pressing in on him.

It was an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the entire world was crushing him.

Endless power surged from every direction—up, down, left, right, front, and back—trying to utterly crush him.

He attempted to mobilize the surrounding spatial power to resist, but found that it was completely beyond his control.

They were like tamed wild beasts, obeying only Lu Qing’s commands, showing no mercy to him, their enemy.

“Is this the power of achieving Dao Integration through the Great Dao of Space?”

The Vice Abbot felt a chill run down his spine, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

He had been in this world for over ten thousand years and knew a great deal about the cultivation history of this star system.

He knew that since that mysterious ancient era, no one in this star system had ever successfully achieved Dao Integration through the Great Dao of Space.

The Great Dao of Space was too profound and vast; ordinary cultivators couldn’t even begin to grasp its essence, let alone achieve Dao Integration

. Therefore, even ancient texts contained no records of the power of the Great Dao of Space.

This path had been severed for countless years.

Now, having faced it directly, he truly felt the terror of this Great Dao.

The power, as if the entire world were crushing down upon him, even made a peak Dao Integration expert like himself feel immense pressure.

That pressure was omnipresent and constant, like a bone-deep infection, leaving him nowhere to escape.

And his opponent was merely a divine thought avatar.

Even a mere divine thought clone could exert such immense pressure on him; how terrifying would it be if this kid’s true form came?

A chill ran through the Deputy Abbot’s heart.

He finally understood one thing.

This kid before him was no longer a question of whether he would threaten their plans in the future.

Rather, he had truly become a force to be reckoned with, capable of posing a powerful threat to them.

If given more time to continue growing, and his true form arrived…

the Deputy Abbot dared not think any further.

“We must find a way to locate this kid’s true form and utterly eliminate him!”

Numerous thoughts flashed through the Deputy Abbot’s mind, finally coalescing into an incomparably intense killing intent.

He knew that this kid had become the biggest obstacle to their blood sacrifice and communication with their homeland.

They had to do everything in their power to completely eliminate him; otherwise, their long-suppressed, 100,000-year-long plan might very well fall apart. It all

seemed like a long story, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

As the killing intent rose in the Deputy Abbot’s heart, the eerie malice emanating from his body suddenly surged.

The malice erupted like a volcano, gushing from every pore of his body and forming a pitch-black domain around him.

Black magic surged forth, as black as ink, as viscous as paste, and emitting a nauseating stench.

It condensed before him, transforming into a pitch-black barrier that completely blocked the immense spatial pressure.

The barrier was not thick, only a thin layer, yet it gave the impression of being indestructible.

Its surface flowed with an eerie light, slowly writhing like a living thing.

Spatial forces collided with the barrier, making a hissing sound, like water droplets falling into boiling oil.

The barrier not only blocked the pressure but also eroded it in the opposite direction, dissolving and devouring the spatial forces.

“Boy, do you really think that a mere divine thought avatar can be my opponent?”

The deputy abbot sneered, his voice hoarse and deep.

On his face, shrouded in black mist, his eyes flashed with a cruel light.

The eerie black magic power emanating from his body twisted and surged, like countless venomous snakes extending from the barrier and spreading towards Lu Qing.

Wherever that black magic power passed, space itself was corroded, emitting a sizzling sound.

Lu Qing could clearly feel his spatial power being dissolved.

That eerie black magic power actually possessed the ability to dissolve the laws of space.

It was like a power specifically designed to counter the power of the Great Dao, existing solely to deal with cultivators of their world.

“You’ve got some skill, then try taking this move again?”

Lu Qing’s gaze sharpened, his conviction growing stronger. The power used by his opponent was of the same origin as the dark power in the Dark Abyss, capable of disrupting and corroding the laws of space.

The nature of that power was almost identical to what he had sensed in the Dark Abyss.

However, the power emanating from this person was more restrained and more solidified.

But Lu Qing’s expression quickly hardened again.

He did not back down, nor did he hesitate. He

lightly clenched his fist, and a beam of extremely concentrated white light appeared in his hand.

The white light was sharp and pure, radiating a chilling aura—it was the sword energy he had condensed from the Dao of the Sword.

This sword energy was different from that of ordinary sword cultivators.

It was not merely a sword energy, but contained his complete understanding of the Dao of the Sword.

It was a will that could cut through everything, invincible and unstoppable.

With a light flick of his arm, in the next instant, a terrifying sword energy was unleashed by Lu Qing.

The sword energy was incredibly fast, almost transcending the limitations of space.

It seemed to ignore distance, arriving at its target the moment it was unleashed.

The Deputy Abbot’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively sensing a hint of danger.

The sharpness and purity of that sword energy made even this peak-stage Dao Integration expert feel a chill.

But he quickly regained his composure.

The sword energy, powerful enough to cleave the heavens and earth, only caused a ripple when it struck the black barrier before him.

The barrier, though slightly trembling, remained steadfast, completely blocking the sword energy.

The sword energy dissipated, turning into specks of white light, which were swallowed by the black barrier.

Seeing this, the deputy abbot couldn’t help but sneer.

“Boy, it’s useless. Your power of law is inherently countered by my power. With your current strength, you can’t possibly break through my Heavenly Demon Barrier.”

His voice was full of mockery and a hint of smugness.

Lu Qing ignored his taunts and frowned at the black barrier.

He refused to believe it.

The next moment, he flipped his hand, and a crimson flame surged from his palm.

It was a flame he had condensed using the Great Dao of Fire, its temperature high enough to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas.

The flame transformed into a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws, lunging towards the deputy abbot.

However, the flames, upon striking the black barrier, only caused a ripple before being completely dissolved.

Lu Qing then switched to the Water Path, unleashing an icy blue current that froze space in its path.

But this current, too, melted upon hitting the barrier.

He then switched to the Metal Path, a golden, sharp beam seemingly capable of slicing through anything.

But this beam, too, failed to penetrate the barrier.

The Wood Path, brimming with vitality, also proved impenetrable.

The Great Dao of Earth, as heavy as a mountain, was also blocked.

The Great Dao of Power, vast and boundless, only stirred larger ripples on the barrier before dissipating without a trace.

The Great Dao of Illusion, ethereal and illusory, attempted to bypass the barrier to find a loophole, but was directly devoured by the black magic.

Lu Qing used almost all nine types of Great Dao power he possessed.

But the result was the same: the black barrier was indeed indestructible, and his attacks could not penetrate it.

That strange barrier seemed to have the ability to dissolve and reflect Great Dao power.

The Great Dao power he activated was strangely dissolved by the black magic as soon as it got close.

The laws dissipated, the Great Dao power was devoured, as if it had never existed.

It was as if the opponent’s power was inherently capable of restraining Great Dao power.

Lu Qing stopped attacking, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, he finally understood why the ancient sages were so wary of the evil beings from that other world.

If those evil beings all possessed such power, then for their starry sky, it was indeed an unprecedented threat.

The essence of cultivation lies in comprehending the Great Dao and utilizing its power.

If the power of the Great Dao is suppressed, a cultivator’s strength will be greatly diminished, unable to unleash even 30% of their full power.

No wonder those ancient sages preferred to proactively attack and fight in other worlds rather than let the battlefield take place in this starry sky.

Because here, those strange and evil creatures are the greatest disaster for ordinary cultivators.

However, Lu Qing still refused to believe it.

Since the ancient sages were able to annihilate all the invading evil creatures, it meant that the power of their world could still harm them.

It was just that he hadn’t found a suitable method yet.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

He thought of a question.

Since the opponent’s barrier was so powerful, able to block all his attacks, why didn’t this guy take this opportunity to attack him?

From the moment he started attacking until now, the deputy abbot had been standing inside the barrier, only defending, never taking the initiative to attack.

Could it be that after setting up this strange barrier, the opponent could no longer attack?

Lu Qing’s thoughts raced, his gaze sweeping over the deputy abbot.

He noticed that the deputy abbot stood behind the barrier, seemingly calm but making no other moves, completely unlike his aggressive demeanor upon arrival.

Lu Qing’s conviction grew stronger.

He asked, his tone calm yet probing.

“Your tortoise shell is quite hard, but I’m curious why you don’t attack. Could it be that you can’t attack after activating this barrier?”

The deputy abbot’s eyes flickered, a subtle change passing through them.

He hadn’t expected this young man to be so perceptive. He

had actually discerned the flaw in the Heavenly Demon Barrier in just a few attacks.

Indeed, while the Heavenly Demon Barrier was powerful, one of their clan’s strongest defensive measures,

it also had its flaws.

Once activated, it would trap him within, preventing him from attacking.

The barrier was like a cage, protecting him while simultaneously confining him inside.

Unless he actively removed the barrier, he couldn’t cause any harm to the outside world.

This flaw was determined by the very nature of their clan’s power.

The Heavenly Demon Barrier was manifested from their primordial space.

After casting the Heavenly Demon Barrier, all their power was used to maintain it, leaving no energy for attack.

However, the Deputy Abbot naturally wouldn’t admit it.

He sneered, his voice full of mockery.

“Boy, you think I’d tell you? If you’ve got the guts, try it yourself. I want to see what you can do to me.”

His tone was relaxed, as if he didn’t take Lu Qing seriously at all.

But the change in his eyes had already been caught by Lu Qing.

He already had the answer in his heart.

“So you’re just a turtle shell that can only take a beating and can’t fight back.”

Lu Qing sneered, a cold glint in his eyes.

“Then watch how I beat a drowning dog and break your turtle shell.”

The Deputy Abbot’s heart tightened, but his words remained defiant: “You? You think you can beat me?”

Lu Qing stopped talking.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his right hand.

Nine kinds of Great Dao power began to brew in his palm.

Space, Five Elements, Sword, Power, Illusion…

nine completely different powers converged in his palm.

They intertwined and complemented each other, yet without the slightest conflict, instead forming an indescribable harmony.

The power grew stronger and stronger.

Lu Qing’s palm began to glow.

The light wasn’t dazzling, but it gave a feeling of boundless vastness, as if it weren’t a hand, but a universe in the making.

The nine Great Dao powers fused perfectly in his hand.

The sheer strength and intensity of that aura caused the Deputy Abbot’s expression to change drastically.

He could feel that the power contained within that palm far surpassed any of his previous attacks.

It was a qualitative leap, not one plus one equals two, but one plus one far greater than two.

The power continued to rise.

It only stopped when it reached a level that made even the Deputy Abbot’s heart tremble.

The Deputy Abbot’s pupils contracted sharply.

He wanted to retreat, but found his body locked by the spatial power, unable to move at all.

He wanted to do something, but found he could do nothing.

Trapped within the barrier, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Qing accumulated power.

At this moment, a strong sense of unease surged within him.

The unease washed over him like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, in the distant starry sky, those Dao Integration Realm experts who sensed this aura also paled.

At the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, a white-haired elder who was in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes and gazed into the depths of the starry sky.

“This aura…who is it?”

In the Kongming Sect, an old nun awoke from her meditation with a start, one of her prayer beads crushing in her hand.

“Nine kinds of Great Dao power? This…how is this possible?”

In the Youming Palace, Qiu Ruofeng was discussing matters with several elders.

Suddenly, he shuddered, abruptly standing up and looking out the window.

“It’s Lu Qing’s aura! Who is he fighting?”

The strength and intensity of that aura terrified even these ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

They didn’t know what had happened, but their hearts felt an inexplicable unease.

At this moment, the power in Lu Qing’s hand had reached its peak.

He looked at the Vice Abbot, a cold glint in his eyes.

“You little demon, I’ll see if you can withstand this move!” (End of Chapter)
