I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1253 - 767: Greed Arises, Battle Against a 9-Tribulation Opponent! (Part 2)

"Clan Leader!"

An elder of the Great Origin Immortal Clan hurried forward just as the middle-aged man clad in the Purple Dragon Robe began to feel a sense of hesitation.

Through the use of Divine Soul Transmission, the elder swiftly briefed him on the recent sequence of events.

The expression on the man in the Purple Dragon Robe shifted, becoming increasingly grave as his gaze shifted toward Lu Qing’s position.

"A Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit from the Great Origin Immortal Clan?"

At that same moment, Lu Qing observed the information regarding the middle-aged man in the Purple Dragon Robe standing before him.

A flicker of astonishment crossed his features.

He had not anticipated encountering a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit. He mused whether the man had already attained this level or if he had broken through after discovering fortuitous opportunities within this place.

Furthermore, he recalled that the Great Origin Immortal Clan were the former sovereigns of the Great Origin Immortal Domain. It was unexpected to see them participating in the exploration of this secret realm.

Earlier, the members of the Great Origin Immortal Clan had been hiding within a secluded, small temple shortly after entering the realm.

Consequently, Lu Qing had no prior contact with them. He found it surprising that the leader of such a faction possessed the strength of a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit.

Meanwhile, the other experts present finally sensed the man's cultivation level through the blatant aura radiating from the Purple Dragon Robe. They were instantly struck with terror.

The Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit!

The leader of the Great Origin Immortal Clan had actually achieved a breakthrough inside the secret realm, ascending to the rank of a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit!

Countless powerful figures felt a surge of intense jealousy.

This was the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit!

None could guess what kind of serendipity this old man had stumbled upon to finally cross that formidable threshold and reach such a height.

By comparison, while they had gathered their own rewards within the secret realm, their gains were insignificant compared to such a breakthrough.

Sensing the awestruck stares of the surrounding experts, the man in the Purple Dragon Robe finally allowed a hint of pride to surface.

He was well aware that starting today, the renown of the Great Origin Immortal Clan would once again resonate through the lands.

No organization would dare treat them with anything less than respect.

Once he eventually ascended to the Unity Realm Stage, that would mark the true resurgence of the Great Origin Immortal Clan!

Unlike the shocked onlookers, Lu Qing remained composed.

Given his current power, there was hardly anyone within the Primordial Spirit Realm who could truly threaten him.

Even a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit was no exception.

Thus, when met with the gaze of the middle-aged man in the Purple Dragon Robe, Lu Qing merely gave a slight nod and prepared to depart.

Seeing Lu Qing treat him with such indifference caused the man in the Purple Dragon Robe to narrow his eyes.

Already irritated, he felt an immediate wave of displeasure.

"Boy, halt right there!" the man in the Purple Dragon Robe commanded frostily. "I have questions for you!"

Stopping in his tracks, Lu Qing turned back and asked neutrally, "What is it?"

"Did you slaughter these disciples from the Black and White Temple?"

"Indeed. What of it? Do you plan to seek justice for them?" Lu Qing responded without emotion.

"You are quite the arrogant one, kid." The man in the Purple Dragon Robe arched an eyebrow. "Your feud with the Black and White Temple is no concern of mine, but I have heard reports that you possess an Exotic Treasure that allows you to move with incredible speed in this realm.

Relinquish that Exotic Treasure, and I shall act as though I saw nothing here today. What do you say?"

"So, your true aim is my Exotic Treasure," Lu Qing said with a subtle smirk. "And if I choose to decline?"

It was clear to him that this Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit was simply manufacturing a pretext to plunder his belongings.

The other experts watched the confrontation unfold with growing excitement, their faces filled with amusement.

Though Lu Qing was an enigma with unfathomable cultivation and peerless Sword Qi—capable of defeating a Seven Tribulation Primordial Spirit in a single strike—this was different.

His opponent was the leader of the Great Origin Immortal Clan, a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit!

Within the Primordial Spirit Realm, reaching the Nine Tribulations meant one's understanding of the laws had reached a profound depth.

A single step further would lead to the Divine Sense Path, where one merges their Heart and Spirit with the Great Path.

At that stage, one uses Divine Thought to harness a fragment of the Power of the Great Path.

That level of existence is the fabled Harmonization Realm.

In the current era, why did the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Black and White Temple enjoy such untouchable, holy status?

It was because these supreme sects were protected by experts of the Unity Realm Stage.

With the Transformation Immortals having vanished from the world, the Unity Realm represented the absolute peak under the stars!

Any sect housing a Unity Realm protector was truly worthy of being called a Holy Land.

However, for various reasons, the true bodies of Unity Realm experts rarely traveled away from their sects and could not easily enter different worlds, making their appearances exceptionally rare.

On the contrary, a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit faced no such restrictions and could travel the cosmos as they pleased.

Still, most at that level were focused on making the final breakthrough to the Unity Realm, meaning they usually stayed in seclusion and were seldom seen by the public.

This made them nearly as rare and legendary as Unity Realm masters.

Now that the onlookers saw the Great Origin Immortal Clan leader—who had not only reached the Nine Tribulations but was also ready to fight Lu Qing—their excitement reached a fever pitch.

On one side was a peak expert at the very limit of the Primordial Spirit Realm; on the other was a mysterious Sword Cultivator whose true depth remained a mystery.

The impending battle between these two titans promised to be a spectacular sight!

"If you refuse to surrender it, I will simply seize you. I imagine the Black and White Temple would pay a king's ransom in treasures to have you delivered to them."

Following those words, the robes of the man in the Purple Dragon Robe billowed outward as if caught in a phantom gale.

A draconic roar shook the air, and a serpent of purple lightning, conjured by his will, lunged toward Lu Qing with blinding speed.

"The fight has truly begun!"

Seeing this, the surrounding experts fixed their eyes on the scene, determined not to miss a single heartbeat of the action.

The purple serpent crackled with electricity, moving at a velocity that defied logic.

Despite the restrictive laws of the secret realm, it reached Lu Qing in a mere instant.

But just as the serpent’s talons were about to tear through Lu Qing’s flesh,

Lu Qing’s form suddenly dissolved into nothingness, vanishing like a plume of smoke.

"An afterimage? When did he do that?!"

Everyone was stunned; no one had been able to track how Lu Qing had evaded the strike.

The man in the Purple Dragon Robe narrowed his eyes as he unleashed a massive wave of Primordial Spirit Power, coating the entire square in an attempt to track Lu Qing’s location.

The pressure exerted by a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit was immense. The nearby cultivators felt as though a mountain had been dropped onto their shoulders, making it difficult to even breathe.

Their faces filled with shock as they truly grasped the terrifying nature of a Nine Tribulations expert.

"He isn't here?"

After searching for several moments, the expression of the man in the Purple Dragon Robe shifted slightly.

He could find no trace of Lu Qing anywhere.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a calm voice drifted down from above the crowd.

"He’s in the sky!"

"When did he ascend?"

"How is he able to fly?"

Every powerful figure looked upward to see Lu Qing hovering high in the air, peering down at them with a detached gaze.

This sight left the crowd wide-eyed and reeling in disbelief.

It was common knowledge that within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, space was incredibly heavy, and a strange Rule Power suppressed all flight.

Even an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit was forced to stay on the ground, unable to use any Flying Skill.

Yet here was Lu Qing, standing effortlessly in mid-air. The shock was overwhelming.

"Is this the power of another Magical Treasure?"

The man in the Purple Dragon Robe looked grim.

Even with his Nine Tribulations cultivation, he was unable to fly here. He had not expected his opponent to possess such a capability.

Such an advantage meant the opponent could engage or flee at will, making him virtually unbeatable.

What kind of artifact did this youth have that allowed him to bypass the very rules of the secret realm?

For a moment, the man was consumed by greed, desperate to capture Lu Qing and claim the treasure for himself.

"Boy, running and hiding is no sign of strength. If you have the courage, come down and face me in a proper duel!"

The man in the Purple Dragon Robe bellowed his challenge.

However, the moment he spoke, the other experts gave him strange looks.

They hadn't expected such a desperate taunt from a prestigious Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit.

To everyone's amazement, Lu Qing actually nodded in response.

"Very well, I shall grant you a battle."

"Indeed, given your level of cultivation, you are worthy of witnessing this particular technique of mine."
