I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1390 - 844: Defying Heaven, Hair-Raising Acts (Part 2)

"It is beginning!"

As the final remnant of lightning vanished from the sea of thunder, the hearts of every expert present tightened. They understood that the initial Heavenly Tribulation had concluded, marking the true onset of Lu Qing’s Harmonization process. Would he succeed in becoming a legendary figure of the Unity Realm Stage, merging multiple Paths into one? Or would he, like so many aspirants before him, succumb to the overwhelming pressure of Dao’s Will? His destiny rested entirely upon these fleeting moments.

Buzz!

Just as the assembly watched intently, desperate to witness the outcome of his Harmonization, the tribulation cloud high above heaved with a massive surge, erupting in sparks once again. The onlookers froze, their jaws dropping in disbelief.

"Why does lightning remain?!"

"Can it be that his Heavenly Tribulation has not finished?"

"Is he attempting to fuse more than just the Five Elements Path?"

Everyone stared in bewilderment at the clouds, which were now shimmering with a brilliant white hue. An incredibly sharp, matchless Will spilled forth, confirming that Lu Qing’s challenge was far from over.

"Sword Dao. It is this path next, is it not? His previous display of Sword Dao was truly profound, reaching a level of depth that defies explanation," murmured the white-haired Elder. He had already identified the nature of the energy manifesting in the skies. Sure enough, it was the aggressively sharp Sword Dao. He recalled how Lu Qing had previously wielded this power to deflect the Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Array. A sudden, startling thought struck him: "Could he intend to put every single Path he mastered at the Primordial Spirit Peak through the tribulation?"

He shuddered at this wild, almost absurd theory. Yet, considering how Lu Qing had handled the Five Elements Path—with each subsequent strike appearing easier—perhaps enduring a few more cycles was not impossible for such a monster. True, the Five Elements were somewhat interconnected, and merging them was a daring feat that relied on his immense foundational potential. But Sword Dao was a different beast entirely. Could Lu Qing truly endure the jarring, contradictory impact of such diverse manifestations of Dao’s Will? While the Elder could not predict the outcome, he deeply respected the sheer scale of Lu Qing’s ambition. If he succeeded, he would undoubtedly become the greatest Unity Realm Stage combatant in history. Short of a Transformation Immortal descending, the entire starry sky might soon be forced to bow before him.

"He isn't content with just the Five Elements? Now he wants the Sword Dao? How many Paths does this devil hope to fuse? Is he insane?" Even the cold-blooded Mo Cangtian began to question Lu Qing’s state of mind.

"The madder he is, the better!" the hawk-nosed Elder spat, his face a mask of cruelty. "The more Paths he forces together, the more violent the clash of Dao’s Will becomes. He will only meet his end faster!" Despite his outward hostility, the trembling of his fingers beneath his robe betrayed the turmoil hidden behind his facade. Other experts from the Black and White Temple felt their own spirits shaken by this display of reckless grandeur.

"Sword Dao... Mr. Lu would not even leave that path out?" The woman in white felt a surge of complex emotions. She remembered her disciple, Qing Xii, mentioning that Lu Qing had shown unparalleled talent during their time in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, outpacing even her own peers in the sword inheritances. That he mastered the Sword Dao to a Harmonization level was no surprise, but his current display suggested he intended to force every single comprehended Path through the trial to forge a perfect Divine Harmonization. How could his Primordial Spirit possibly survive such a bombardment of Dao’s Will? She had no answer. Only once the process was complete would the mystery be unraveled.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the gathered experts, the first Sword Dao thunderbolt struck. It hit Lu Qing directly, void of any subtlety. The thunderstorm erupted, sending countless sword-shaped bolts to rake across his body, aiming to shred his very existence. Yet, these strikes, which could have easily carved through space itself, failed to pierce his physical defenses. Instead, Lu Qing took the opportunity to absorb a massive portion of the energy for his own refinement. While powerful, the force of this tribulation struggled to match the Five Elements, and given his shifting, hardening physique, it caused no lasting harm. Aside from two final bolts that induced minor wounds, he crossed this trial with ease.

As the Sword Dao dissipated, all gazes returned to the sky, waiting to see if there were more terrors to come.

Buzz!

A massive vibration signaled the birth of a new, distinct Dao’s Will.

"Is it the Power Dao this time?" Experts realized immediately what was coming. It was the Power Dao, the very foundation of physical strength. It was perhaps the most formidable path of all, a prize sought by every martial cultivator. Given Lu Qing’s already invincible physique, they felt a strange sense of relief—of course he would have mastered this as well. As anticipated, the Power Dao tribulation was terrifying, with each strike forming a grinding wheel meant to pulverize his frame, yet Lu Qing shattered every one, absorbing the remnants to fuel his own growth. It was then that the experts grasped the truth: he was not merely surviving the ordeal; he was refining the tribulation itself to elevate his own essence.

When the final strike of the Power Dao finished, the atmosphere shifted once more. A new, unrecognizable Will rippled through the heavens. It was empty, almost invisible, and left the experts feeling a profound sense of unease. Even the lightning here was colorless and faint. Yet, they sensed that every inch of the sky around Lu Qing had become a death trap. If any of them were to step into that radius, they would perish instantly. "What manner of Dao is this?" Astonishment filled the eyes of the crowd. They had never witnessed him use such a bizarre, ghostly power before.
