I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 358
Chapter 358
"What kind of monster is that?!"
When Wei Xinghe and the others saw the true form of the massive shadow emerging from the dust, their eyes widened in horror.
Before them stood a creature towering at five or six zhang, stationed where the collapsed city gate once stood.
Its face was green, with sharp fangs, and its body was covered in coarse, black fur.
Its arms were almost as long as its body, with broad palms as large as two massive doors, giving it an overwhelmingly terrifying presence.
This was undoubtedly a creature they had never encountered before!
Sensing the dreadful aura emanating from the monster, Wei Xinghe and the others trembled with fear.
They could feel that this creature was immensely powerful, as if it had surpassed the limits of the Precelestial Realm, reaching an entirely new level. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Lu Xiaolangjun...”
Wei Xinghe, feeling the terror of the monster, looked at its gigantic hands, utterly dismayed.
Even with his confidence in Lu Qing, he couldn’t believe Lu Qing would come through this unscathed.
However, before Wei Xinghe could dwell on his worry, the monster suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.
In the next moment, everyone saw a flash of chilling light, as an intense blade aura erupted, cutting a deep fissure into the ground.
The monster’s lower hand split in two, releasing a torrent of blood.
As the severed hand and a rain of blood fell, Lu Qing’s figure drifted down to the ground.
“Lu Xiaolangjun is unharmed!”
Wei Xinghe was overjoyed to see Lu Qing safe and sound.
“You demon brat, I didn't expect you to transform so quickly.”
Lu Qing stepped aside to avoid the blood rain, looking up at the giant monster clutching its wounded hand, surprised.
Even he hadn’t expected it to condense a demonic body so soon.
“You brat! You’re courting death!”
The monster roared, enduring the pain as it raised its right foot and stomped down hard toward Lu Qing.
The massive foot blocked out all light above Lu Qing's head, like a colossal stone hurtling toward him.
"Some never learn.”
Sensing the immense pressure overhead, Lu Qing didn’t flinch but instead showed a hint of mockery.
The next instant, a brilliant blade light flashed from his hand, slicing towards the monster’s descending foot.
Predictably, even though the monster’s demonic body was sturdy, it stood no chance against the fearsome battle blade, forged entirely from Heaven's Meteorite Iron and of a magical artifact level.
In mid-air, the foot was sliced cleanly in two, as if it were tofu.
“Ah!”
The monster let out another agonizing scream as its foot was severed once more.
This time, Lu Qing didn’t give it a chance, stomping down to sink the ground beneath him, his body shooting forward like an arrow.
Man and blade became one as he transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the monster’s chest in an instant.
When Lu Qing landed, a massive hole, three chi wide, appeared at the monster’s heart, going clean through.
Inside, the heart had already been shredded to pieces by Lu Qing’s blade aura, vanishing without a trace.
The monster’s colossal body suddenly stiffened and stopped screaming.
It staggered backward and crashed into the city wall, sending rubble flying and raising a cloud of dust.
This time, as the dust settled, no further surprises emerged.
The monster lay motionless on the ground, with no signs of life.
“Lu Xiaolangjun won?”
Wei Xinghe was stunned, unable to process what he was seeing.
He hadn’t expected Lu Qing to win so effortlessly.
That enormous creature, which seemed invincible, was slaughtered without resistance, as if at Lu Qing’s mercy.
The state lord and the others, who had been standing aside, were even more astounded, their faces etched with shock.
The size of the creature, combined with Lu Qing’s blade skills, had far exceeded anything they could comprehend.
“You fool, had you not grown so large, I might have had some difficulty dealing with you.”
Lu Qing looked at the monster, now on the brink of death, and shook his head.
This demon had indeed gained tremendous strength after transforming its body.
With its resilient demonic body, even dozens of Precelestial Realm warriors wouldn’t stand a chance against it.
Ordinary sword and blade auras couldn’t even scratch its defenses.
But unfortunately, it had encountered Lu Qing.
Lu Qing’s battle blade, crafted entirely from Heaven's Meteorite Iron, was in itself a terrifying magical artifact.
No matter how tough the demonic body was, it couldn’t withstand the blade’s sharpness.
Therefore, the monster’s massive body, which it took pride in, became its greatest weakness against Lu Qing.
“I didn’t expect you to have a blade of magical artifact level.”
Despite losing its heart, the monster’s life force was still tenacious.
Even without a heart, it didn’t die instantly.
In fact, Lu Qing could sense that its life force had stopped waning, as though some secret method was temporarily stabilizing its wounds.
The monster gazed at the battle blade in Lu Qing’s hand, realizing that this weapon was the reason for its defeat.
It hadn’t anticipated that Lu Qing possessed a magical artifact-level blade.
Had it known, it would have fled rather than hastily forming a demonic body and fighting Lu Qing.
But regrets came too late.
This defeat was even more devastating than its previous one.
“You demon brat, there are many things you don’t know.”
Lu Qing's expression remained calm, as he activated his abilities to examine the monster.
Moments later, understanding dawned on his face. “So, it’s merely a half-finished demonic body.”
No wonder he felt this monster was even easier to handle after its transformation.
It had brute force and little else, far removed from the cunning demonic cultivators of legend.
And yet, this was supposed to be a powerful demon general from a larger world.
It seemed that his previous interruptions had hindered the demon's plan to perform a blood sacrifice on the state lord's city.
Forced to consume the demonic bone prematurely, it failed to gather enough demonic essence, leaving it with only a half-finished demonic body.
Without a complete demonic body, it could only rely on brute strength, without access to its full abilities and magical arts.
Sensing Lu Qing’s probing gaze, the demon remembered something he had said earlier.
It couldn't help but ask, “Brat, how do you know that one's name? Who exactly are you?”
“That one?” Lu Qing said indifferently, “Are you talking about your former master?”
“So, you do know!” The demon was utterly shaken, staring fixedly at Lu Qing. “Who are you? Are you also a reincarnated being like me?”
Hearing this, everyone around was taken aback.
In particular, Yan, who was inside the Li Huo Cauldron, was especially shaken.
“Take a guess,” Lu Qing replied, not answering the question directly.
“I should have known.” The demon seemed to come to a realization, “In this isolated world, it’s impossible for such a monstrous talent like you to exist.
“Even though spiritual energy is just now reviving, you’ve already summoned the Tribulation Cloud and crossed the Thunder Tribulation.
“Even in the Tianyuan Great World, there are few prodigies like you.
“So, you’re like me—a reincarnated being from another world!
“Am I right or not?”
The demon stared at Lu Qing, hoping to catch a clue.
However, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.
“Are you done? If so, then prepare to go on your way.”
With that, Lu Qing’s battle blade shot out, targeting the demon’s forehead.
The attack came without warning.
Despite its vigilance, the demon was heavily wounded and immobile, powerless to block Lu Qing’s swift assault.
The blade pierced through its forehead, its eyes widened, and its enormous body trembled, shaking the entire gate.
Its body slumped, its eyes grew dim, and its demonic body’s life force gradually faded.
Without saying another word, the demon was slain by Lu Qing.
After dispatching the demon, Lu Qing wasted no time, tossing out a cloth bag.
The bag expanded in the wind, growing to the size of a house.
Its opening glowed green, aimed at the demon's enormous corpse.
The green light enveloped the demon’s body, causing a miraculous scene:
The demon’s body began to shrink and float toward the bag, almost entirely sucked in when a black light shot out, aiming to escape the city.
“I was waiting for you!”
Lu Qing wasn’t surprised, and as the black light emerged, he threw a small cauldron.
The small cauldron moved swiftly, catching up with the black light in a flash.
“How could this be—another spiritual artifact!”
The black light emitted a shockwave of disbelief, only to be swallowed by the small cauldron, disappearing completely.
With the black light gone, the Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag easily absorbed the demonic body.
Within a few breaths, the bag resumed its original form and returned to Lu Qing’s hand.
Having finished, Lu Qing turned his gaze toward the Precelestial Realm cultivators nearby.
The state lord and others, who had just been astonished by the Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag’s absorption, shuddered under Lu Qing’s gaze.
All except Wei Xinghe were anxious.
They feared Lu Qing might kill them to silence them, given they had overheard the demon’s revelations and witnessed Lu Qing’s use of remarkable artifacts.
Noticing the fear in their eyes, Lu Qing was about to speak when he suddenly looked up, sensing something.
The ground trembled as a massive Dao Sound resonated from the heavens, filling the air.
“The Fourth Heavenly Dao Sound?”
Lu Qing’s heart shook, his face shifting between light and shadow.
The Dao Sound had arrived unexpectedly, just as he had defeated the demon from another world, and it gave him much to ponder.
“A Dao Sound?”
Yan’s voice rang out in Lu Qing’s mind, equally astonished.
“Isn’t the pace of this world’s evolution rather quick? This is already the Fourth Heavenly Dao Sound.”
“Senior, after the Fourth Heavenly Dao Sound, what will change?” Lu Qing asked in a grave tone.
“I can’t say for sure, as this is my first time experiencing a spiritual energy revival, but the Li Huo Sect once found records about it.
“After the fourth sound, the world’s rules will evolve further.
“Strong cultivators will face fewer restrictions, and Foundation Establishment practitioners will no longer be scarce.”
“So, the experts in the Four Great Secret Realms will be free to emerge?”
Lu Qing’s eyes glinted with understanding.
“That’s likely, but I can’t be sure. All I know is from Li Huo Sect’s ancient records. It’s something we’ll need to verify.”
“No doubt about it.”
Lu Qing let his mind wander, sensing the changes in the world around him.
He soon felt the rules of the world evolving deep within, and the restrictions were loosening considerably.
As his cultivation broke through, he sensed the limits he was about to reach had expanded once again.
Thus, Yan's words were validated.
With the end of the Dao Sound, strong cultivators would find their limitations lifted.
The Heavenly Dao Sound's appearance had taken everyone by surprise.
For a moment, the Precelestial Realm warriors stood quietly, listening to the sound of the Dao.
Only when the last Dao Sound faded and the world returned to stillness did everyone exhale.
Though they had heard the Dao Sound before, its vast and boundless meaning left all the Precelestial Realm cultivators in reverence.
They dared not show disrespect, each listening with utmost care.
Yet, just as they thought it was over, the sky changed again as a golden light descended, landing on Lu Qing.
It quickly merged into him, entering his brow acupoint.
“What?”
Lu Qing was taken aback by the sudden and unforeseen golden light.
“Xiao Li, guard me.”
Startled, he called out to Xiao Li, who was hidden nearby, and immersed his mind into his brow acupoint to investigate the golden light.
Inside his brow acupoint, Lu Qing saw a glowing ball the size of a fist.
The golden light was warm and soothing, filling him with tranquility and a sense of wonder.
Seeing this familiar light, Lu Qing was astonished.
He recognized it immediately, as he often saw it in his master.
“The Light of Merit. How is it that it appeared in my brow acupoint?”
