I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 921

Chapter 919 The Heavenly Demon Realm, Adapting to the Laws

Within the World Passage, chaos reigned.   There

was no distinction between up, down, left, right, front, back, near, or far.

Endless light flowed before his eyes, intertwining to form twisted bands of light that slowly swirled in the void. Lu Qing’s figure swiftly traversed the passage.   Now transformed into a Heavenly Demon, his body was pitch black, covered in thick armor, his eight arms folded at his sides, and his twelve wings folded behind him.   His demonic energy emanated naturally, merging with the remaining dark power within the passage.   He sensed the changes around him.   This World Passage was less a path and more a gaping wound.   The spaces of two realms were forcibly joined here, their laws colliding, creating countless twisted fissures.   These fissures contained terrifying power, even chilling him to the bone.   The power of a Xuanhua Grandmaster formed a thin barrier within the passage, isolating the twisted fissures.   But Lu Qing could sense that this barrier was already very fragile, like a spiderweb about to be torn apart.   He quickened his pace, following the path opened up by the Xuanhua Grandmaster.   After an unknown amount of time, the chaos ahead suddenly thinned.   A hazy gray light curtain appeared at the edge of his vision—the exit of the passage.   Lu Qing took a deep breath and stepped out.   The instant he passed through the light curtain, a completely unfamiliar aura rushed towards him.   It was demonic energy, far more violent and chaotic than the demonic energy in the Dark Abyss, like an invisible storm raging through the void.   Lu Qing steadied himself, hovering in the void, and looked around.   Before him was a hazy gray world.   There were no stars, no sun or moon, only endless darkness.   In the distant void, he could vaguely see some huge black shadows moving slowly, whether fragments of stars or some other creature, he couldn’t tell.   Directly below him was a massive ancient altar, situated on the vast land.   At the very center of the altar was a pitch-black spatial vortex, from which he had emerged.   The earth was a deep brown color, its surface covered with cracks, like a dried-up riverbed.   Some cracks were miles wide and bottomless, from which black mist surged.   The land was barren, devoid of vegetation and water, only endless desolation.   Further away, the ruins   of some buildings could be vaguely seen. These ruins were vast, some resembling cities, others palaces.   But all were utterly destroyed, only broken walls casting long shadows in the gray sky.   Of course, these were just fleeting glimpses of the scene Lu Qing had witnessed. After regaining his footing, he immediately channeled his divine sense into the area, attempting to use spatial teleportation.   He then discovered that, just as Senior Xuanhua had said, the laws here were completely different from those of his home universe.   The laws of the Great Dao were blurred and difficult to perceive.   He tried to mobilize spatial power, finding that although he could still use it, its power was greatly reduced, and the consumption was much greater.   ”No wonder Senior Xuanhua said to adapt first,”   Lu Qing thought to himself.   However, he didn’t delay. His divine sense suddenly surged, manipulating the spatial laws in the void.   The next moment, spatial power surged, and his figure swiftly vanished from the spot.   Everything happened in an extremely short time. From Lu Qing’s appearance to his disappearance, it was only a matter of breaths.   Just two or three breaths after his figure vanished, the demonic energy suddenly trembled, and a black figure abruptly appeared above the altar, its terrifying pressure instantly suppressing the space within a thousand miles.   But soon, this figure showed a puzzled expression.   ”What’s going on? I clearly felt some movement at the altar. Was it just my imagination?”   Just now, while he was in seclusion, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation at the altar and came to investigate.   He thought for a moment, his mind surging, sensing the changes in the surrounding aura.   Soon, his eyes snapped open, and he discovered the problem: “No, there’s a change at the entrance to the world passage in the center of the altar. Something came out of there!”   Shock filled the black figure’s eyes. There hadn’t been any movement at the altar for many years.   If he remembered correctly, the last time there was any movement was hundreds of thousands of years ago, when a small insect rushed out of it and escaped.   It was after that incident that he was assigned to guard this place to prevent any more insects from escaping.   However, after guarding it for hundreds of thousands of years without any disturbance, he went into seclusion to cultivate.   Unexpectedly, due to this oversight, another insect managed to sneak in.   He immediately expanded the range of his mental search, but even after searching every inch of the space within tens of thousands of miles, he still found nothing. He   immediately realized that the insect that emerged from the world passage had likely escaped beyond his sensing range.   ”What to do? The Ancestor instructed me to guard this place and prevent any more insects from sneaking in. If He finds out I’ve neglected my duty…”   The black figure’s expression shifted between light and shadow. Thinking of the Ancestor’s terrifying nature, he couldn’t help   but shudder. If the Ancestor found out about this, his fate would be worse than death.   Hovering in mid-air, the black figure thought for a long time, ultimately deciding to keep the matter a secret.   Anyway, only he knew about this, and as long as he didn’t say anything, no one would know that an insect had left from here.   As for that insect, he had long heard that the creatures of the other world were incredibly weak, no match for their Heavenly Demon Clan.   If it weren’t for the Great Dao Origin resisting their entry, coupled with the suppression of the Xuanhua, their Heavenly Demon Clan would have already rushed in and devoured it completely.   So even if that insect escaped, it must have fled for its life and couldn’t possibly cause any trouble. It might   even be corrupted and killed by the demonic energy of their Heavenly Demon Realm before long.   The most important thing now was to completely conceal this matter and not let anyone know.   Moreover, he had also heard that the ancestors were currently carrying out a plan to capture another ancestor of the human race.   If the plan succeeded, another sacrifice would be held, which would completely open the world passage.

By then, the matter could be completely covered up, and no one would be able to discover his negligence.

Thinking this, the black figure surged with demonic energy, flowing towards the altar below, completely erasing any trace of Lu Qing’s presence.

…

Lu Qing was unaware that, by sheer coincidence, the disturbance he caused upon entering the Heavenly Demon Realm not only failed to attract investigation but also resulted in someone helping him erase his traces.

Due to the ambiguity of the Great Dao rules, the distance he could teleport each time was only about ten thousand miles, so he had to concentrate fully on sensing the surrounding spatial laws and constantly teleport.

In this way, after performing dozens of spatial teleportations, Lu Qing finally found a mountain peak in a vast forest, cleaved a cave with his sword energy, and crawled inside.

After sensing the surroundings and confirming there was no danger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that his magical power had been nearly half depleted.

It should be noted that he had merged with the Nine Great Daos, possessing an incredibly solid foundation, and his magical power far surpassed that of cultivators of the same level.

After breaking through to the Lesser Completion of the Dao Integration Realm, his magical power was comparable to that of the Transformation Realm.

However, now, after only a few dozen spatial teleportations, he had already exhausted most of it.

The space in this Heavenly Demon Realm was too stable; each spatial teleportation not only covered a short distance but also consumed an astonishing amount of magical power.

Lu Qing took out several top-grade spirit stones, recovering his magical power while probing his divine sense into the Li Huo Cauldron to communicate with the old Azure Dragon and the others.

“Senior, we have arrived in the Heavenly Demon Realm.”

“How is the situation?” the old Azure Dragon asked.

“There is no danger around for the time being, but the laws here are different from those of my hometown. I need some time to adapt. You stay in the cauldron for now, and I will release you when I find a safe place.”

“Okay, A-Qing, be careful.”

Lu Qing severed his divine sense and continued to sense the laws around him.

Time passed little by little.

He gradually discovered that although the laws of this world were different, they were not entirely uncontrollable.

As long as he found the patterns, he could use the power of the Great Dao just like in his hometown. It just took time.

Moreover, after he transformed into the appearance of a Heavenly Demon, the surrounding demonic energy did not repel him.

The raging dark forces flowed past him like water around rocks, causing him no harm.

“I’ll cultivate here for a while,”

Lu Qing decided immediately.

According to the information given by Senior Xuanhua, the Heavenly Demon Realm was vast, and in his current state, even if he exhausted his magic power, it would be difficult to escape.

The only way was to first comprehend the laws within the Heavenly Demon Realm.

As long as he could regain mastery of the laws of space, the efficiency of his spatial teleportation techniques would greatly increase, and only then would it be possible to leave the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Immediately, Lu Qing sat cross-legged in the cave, closed his eyes, and began to fully sense the laws of this world.

He needed to adapt to this place as quickly as possible, and then find a way to leave the Heavenly Demon Realm and go to the divine kingdom that the great master Xuanhua had mentioned.

Time passed in Lu Qing’s seclusion, and three years went by in a flash.

On this day, the magic power within Lu Qing’s body suddenly surged, and the violent dark power around him was rapidly absorbed into his body like a whirlwind, quickly transforming into his own magic power.

Lu Qing opened his eyes, revealing joy in them.

“Very good, I’ve finally managed to refine this dark power.”

Lu Qing’s physical body possesses the characteristic of devouring all kinds of energy, and the chaotic magic power he condensed can encompass all things.

In the past three years, he has devoted himself to comprehension and has finally found a way to refine this dark power.

Although the efficiency of refining it is not high, far inferior to that of spiritual energy, it at least gives him a way to restore his magic power in this Demon Realm.

After all, he doesn’t have many top-grade spirit stones left, and he needs to use them sparingly for unforeseen circumstances.

Moreover, after being able to refine the dark power, the Demon Realm’s rejection of him has greatly weakened.

This will make his future actions in the Demon Realm much easier and less likely to be exposed.

“Next, it’s the law of space.”

With the Demon Realm’s rejection of him lessened, Lu Qing’s perception of the law of space has become much clearer.

He can foresee that as long as he comprehends it for a while longer, he will be able to regain control of the law of space.

Immediately, Lu Qing entered seclusion again.

Time passed, and another two years went by in a flash.

On this day, Lu Qing, deep within the cave, was focused on his cultivation and comprehension when he suddenly felt a jolt in his mind.

As if a fog had been cleared, his primordial spirit’s perception of the laws of space became clear once more.

Those previously blurred lines of law were now as clear as a polished mirror, appearing distinctly in his senses.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shimmering like a galaxy.

“Finally, I’ve succeeded,”

Lu Qing murmured to himself, his tone carrying a sense of relief.

Five years of secluded cultivation had finally allowed him to regain control of the spatial laws of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Although he couldn’t yet move with the same freedom as in his home universe, the distance of a single spatial teleportation would be greatly increased, and the consumption of magical power would be significantly reduced.

He stood up and stretched.

These past five years, sitting cross-legged in the cave, while his robust physique meant he wouldn’t experience any discomfort, had still felt somewhat stifling.

Just as he was about to discuss the route out of the Heavenly Demon Realm with the old Azure Dragon and the others, he suddenly frowned.

A muffled rumbling sound came from afar, growing louder and louder as it approached.

Accompanying the deafening roar was a violent tremor of the earth, as if some colossal creature was approaching.

Lu Qing extended his divine sense and immediately understood.

It was two demonic beasts.

The two beasts were enormous, each tens of thousands of feet tall. They had ferocious

appearances, their bodies covered in jet-black scales, with curved horns on their heads, and constantly spewing black flames from their mouths.

The two beasts were fiercely fighting, tearing at each other, colliding, and causing rocks to crumble and the earth to collapse in their wake.

The two beasts were not weak; judging from their aura, they were roughly equivalent to the early-stage Dao Integration Realm in their home universe.

Just two beasts living in the mountains and forests possessed the strength of the Dao Integration Realm, which showed how terrifying the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Realm was.

The two beasts continued to fight, crashing into the mountain peak where Lu Qing was hiding.

Lu Qing wanted to avoid it, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble.

But the two beasts were fighting too fiercely, completely disregarding everything else, and in the blink of an eye, they had already crashed into the mountain peak.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the entire mountain.

As the two beasts collided, one was sent flying by the other, its massive body slamming heavily onto the mountain.

Rocks crumbled, dust billowed, and the mountain broke in half, sending debris flying.

The cave where Lu Qing was located was also shattered, exposing his figure in the dust.

The two beasts noticed him simultaneously.

Although they weren’t highly intelligent, they instinctively sensed that this “Heavenly Demon Clan” member was different from them, and that he exuded an unsettling aura.

They stopped attacking each other and turned to Lu Qing, letting out low growls.

Lu Qing sighed.

He didn’t want to fight, but since he’d been discovered, he had no choice but to deal with him.

Otherwise, if they attracted more creatures from the Heavenly Demon Realm and revealed his location, it would be troublesome.

With a thought, Lu Qing vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he appeared above one of the beasts.

He raised his right hand, fingers together, and struck down with his palm.

This palm strike didn’t utilize any Dao power, only pure physical strength.

However, even with the physical strength of his Dao-Merging Body, it was beyond the ability of these two demonic beasts to withstand.

One beast didn’t even have time to react before its head was shattered by the blow, its massive body crashing to the ground, twitching a few times before ceasing to move.

Seeing this, the other beast roared, opening its maw to spew out a stream of black flames.

The flames were extremely hot, enough to melt space, but they caused no harm whatsoever to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing flashed, appearing before the beast and throwing a punch.

His fist pierced through the beast’s scales, directly shattering its heart.

The beast groaned, its massive body slowly collapsing, kicking up dust.

In two moves, the two demonic beasts at the initial stage of Dao Merging were instantly killed, their souls completely destroyed by the boundless power.

Lu Qing withdrew his fist and looked down at his hand.

Although the bodies of these demonic beasts from the Heavenly Demon Realm were incredibly strong, far tougher than those of cultivators of the same level in his home universe, they were still like paper before his fists.

Moreover, these beasts didn’t possess the primordial space of the Heavenly Demon race, making them easier to kill.

This pleased him greatly.

In this Heavenly Demon Realm, he couldn’t use too many Daoist techniques and supernatural powers, otherwise, he would easily expose his true identity.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough, making it easier to impersonate a Heavenly Demon.

“Perfect, your corpses are still somewhat useful.”

Lu Qing waved his hand, collecting the corpses of the two beasts and placing them into the Li Huo Cauldron.

The flesh and blood of the creatures from the Heavenly Demon Realm contained a rich dark power. Although it couldn’t be used directly, it could be used for research or as material for transformation.

After doing all this, he looked up into the distance.

“Time to go.”

Lu Qing used a spatial teleportation technique, taking a step forward.

This time, he teleported a distance of 100,000 li, ten times greater than five years ago, while also consuming significantly less mana.

His figure flickered in the gloomy sky, rapidly moving towards the edge of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

According to the records in the jade slip of the powerful Xuanhua, although the Heavenly Demon Realm was vast, it was not without boundaries.

As long as he found the right direction and passed through the guarded outposts, he could leave the Heavenly Demon Realm and enter the vast world of the Primordial Continent.

At that time, the sea would be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly.

Once he found the divine kingdom mentioned by the Xuanhua senior and contacted those ancient sages, he would have completed his mission. (End of this chapter)
