I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1307 - 797: Heading to the Treasure Vault (Part 2)

Yet, how could those strikes possibly injure Lu Qing?

He made no effort to evade them, letting the assaults land squarely on his form.

In the instant that followed, every array assault vanished as if swallowed by the ocean, drawn straight into his body and converted into his personal power.

Next, Lu Qing shaped his hand into a blade, unleashing a sharp surge of Sword Qi that shattered the Black Tower's entrance, propelling him within.

The moment he glanced around the interior, Luo Yuantian came into view, positioned amid utter vacancy.

It was obvious that this Unity Realm powerhouse had gotten there ahead and seized every Soul Lamp from the Black Tower.

"As expected from a Great Power of the Unity Realm, your Escape Technique is truly impressive," Lu Qing remarked with genuine admiration at the sight.

Despite his swift response, he still fell short against this foe.

The might of the Unity Realm proved overwhelming; though Luo Yuantian hadn't mastered the Space Avenue, his velocity was staggeringly swift, far surpassing what Lu Qing could hope to rival.

Realms grow ever more tyrannical as they ascend.

"Indeed, your aim was the elders' Soul Lamps,"

Luo Yuantian experienced a wave of relief at Lu Qing's arrival.

Fortunately, his own reflexes had been prompt; had he lingered just a few breaths longer, the situation might have spiraled beyond recovery.

"This round, I've lagged a step behind, but in the next, your fortune won't hold so favorably."

Noting the Soul Lamps already gathered, Lu Qing sensed a twinge of disappointment yet pushed it aside.

He pivoted and exited the Black Tower without delay.

"Departing so simply?"

Luo Yuantian felt a brief shock at Lu Qing's resolute withdrawal.

He'd anticipated this Evil Demon might offer some resistance, but instead, he departed with such ease.

Right then, a thunderous explosion resounded from beyond.

Detecting the source of the clamor, Luo Yuantian's features twisted abruptly: "No, that's the Treasure Vault's position!"

His figure dissolved in a flash, and Luo Yuantian hastened his flight toward the exterior.

As the Sacred Land of the Human Race, the Holy Alliance undoubtedly housed a treasure vault.

Its riches were profoundly vast.

Luo Yuantian had concentrated on securing the elders' Soul Lamps, briefly overlooking the paramount prize.

Morphing into a gust of wind, he sped toward the Treasure Vault.

There, he beheld a profoundly startling spectacle.

Lu Qing had swelled into a colossal figure spanning a thousand feet, demolishing a palace with a single blow before rending the earth and yanking the Treasure Vault from its subterranean depths.

As vast quantities of dirt and rock plummeted from above, despite the protective arrays around the Treasure Vault igniting in brilliance, unleashing endless bolts of lightning and bursts of fire against Lu Qing's grasp, they achieved nothing.

Lu Qing simply quivered faintly, devouring every trace of Array Power encircling him.

This dimmed the radiance enveloping the entire Treasure Vault.

At that juncture, a sack at Lu Qing's belt detached, ballooning swiftly into a massive peak and advancing to engulf the Treasure Vault.

Witnessing this, Luo Yuantian halted abruptly, materializing his form and glaring at the unfolding events with fury and astonishment.

He failed to comprehend how Lu Qing had learned the Treasure Vault's whereabouts. Was there perhaps a betrayer within the Holy Alliance who had informed him beforehand?

"Haha, old fellow, what will you do now? If you dare, charge right into the Treasure Vault. I'd love to see if you can wrest it from my hold!"

Lu Qing chuckled at Luo Yuantian's sudden emergence.

He had pinpointed the Treasure Vault's site through his Superpower during his prior scan of the Soul Lamps' chamber.

After observing Luo Yuantian's tactics, he promptly resolved to claim the Treasure Vault ahead.

Faced with Lu Qing's brazen demeanor, Luo Yuantian seethed with rage, yet he genuinely hesitated to plunge into the Treasure Vault.

Though his cultivation level soared and his wind-form technique delved deep, it held no absolute invincibility.

Venturing inside at this moment would trap him helplessly once Lu Qing sealed it within his Magical Treasure.

If it concerned only himself, the loss would mean little, as this was but a Divine Thought Avatar, its destruction no grave setback.

Yet, he bore Vice Alliance Leader Han's Primordial Spirit alongside the elders' Soul Lamps.

Allowing those to fall into Lu Qing's clutches would render all his efforts futile.

Thus, no matter his reluctance, he could merely observe as Lu Qing employed the Qiankun One Qi Bag to claim the Treasure Vault.

With the Treasure Vault safely tucked away, Lu Qing gestured, prompting the Qiankun One Qi Bag to contract rapidly and return to his side.

He also retracted his True Witch Body, resuming his normal guise, and fixed his gaze on Luo Yuantian.

"It appears you orchestrated everything, even uncovering the Holy Alliance Treasure Vault's location beforehand," Luo Yuantian uttered icily.

His mind reeled with profound turmoil.

Marking Lu Qing's second transformation into a giant, he at last discerned faint hints.

This Evil Demon's ability bore resemblance to the legendary Divine Skills of the Ancient Witch Clan.

Might this Evil Demon truly descend from the Ancient Witch Clan?

Luo Yuantian reflected on ancient tales handed down through eras, his countenance darkening further.

"Old fellow, you may have claimed the Soul Lamps with your superior realm, but resurrection isn't so straightforward. Without this Treasure Vault's resources, I wonder how you'll bring them back.

Over these ten years, I'll watch their Divine Splits fade away one by one!"

Lu Qing ignored Luo Yuantian's query, opting instead to taunt him.

Luo Yuantian's visage grew grim.

For Lu Qing spoke the truth.

Resurrection Techniques, miraculous as they are, demand immense effort to perform.

Reviving a Primordial Spirit Realm being consumes enormous resources.

The loftier their prior cultivation, the greater the expenditure required.

On this occasion, numerous Holy Alliance elders had perished, all boasting realms exceeding the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations.

Resurrecting them en masse would demand unimaginable wealth.

Even depleting the Holy Alliance's entire reserves might prove insufficient.

And now, the repository of those reserves lay in Lu Qing's possession.

This development intensified the crisis exponentially.

Though Luo Yuantian commanded the Unity Realm, he lacked plentiful resurrection assets himself.

Hence, inevitably, the majority of elders would remain unrestored.

Even more vital is the strict constraint on Resurrection Techniques.

For upon the main body's demise, the Divine Split loses its foundation, necessitating revival within a decade.

Beyond that window, the Divine Split dissipates completely.

Thus, even if Luo Yuantian sought to amass resources personally, the brief timeframe might thwart gathering enough.

Lu Qing's strategy struck at the core, leaving him wholly on the defensive.

"So, you schemed from the start."

Luo Yuantian regarded Lu Qing with a shadowed gaze, growing ever more aware of this Evil Demon's dreadfulness.

"It's even between us; you outmaneuvered me once before, and now I've returned the favor," Lu Qing replied steadily, "I declared they all must perish. I wonder how many you can salvage."

Luo Yuantian fixed his stare on Lu Qing, his features shifting restlessly.

Ultimately, he let out a resigned sigh: "Friend, must you drive us to utter ruin? Don't you realize that among the Holy Alliance elders, not all bore ill will toward you? Some even sought to halt actions against you."

"Yet ultimately, they all struck at me, didn't they?" Lu Qing stood firm, unmoved. "Having attacked, they must face the repercussions. If I'd been the vanquished one today, would you grant me any mercy to survive?"

Luo Yuantian fell quiet.

Indeed, certain elders had favored gentler approaches toward Lu Qing.

Still, should Lu Qing have lost earlier, his end would have been singular and grim.

"Friend, is there really no path to compromise?"

After a stretch of quiet, Luo Yuantian spoke to Lu Qing in near-supplication.

"These elders erred in the moment, yet they've steadfastly guarded the Human Race in this Great World. Though you're not native to the Heavenly Origin Great World, as a Human Clan Cultivator, can you truly condemn them all to death?"

Confronted by Luo Yuantian's beseeching look, Lu Qing held his silence.

At length, as Luo Yuantian teetered on the brink of hopelessness,

Lu Qing at last responded: "Negotiation isn't out of the question."
