I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1515 - 895: Sever and Reveal the True Form (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
His expression shifted dramatically, his divine senses immediately probing the battlefield.
Upon contact with the starry expanse and sensing the two formidable auras, his visage darkened further.
"The Deputy Master of the Black and White Temple? How could Lu Qing have crossed paths with him?"
A Black Robe elder standing nearby voiced his astonishment, "Supreme Elder, how can that Deputy Master's aura... be so formidable? The Peak of Unity Great Success, this... this is entirely contrary to our intelligence!"
Qiu Ruofeng remained silent, his gaze fixed intently upon the starry void.
A surge of anxiety coursed through him.
He couldn't comprehend why Lu Qing would provoke the Black and White Temple so prematurely, nor was he certain if Lu Qing could contend with such a Deputy Master.
That Deputy Master had concealed his strength far too effectively.
With a cultivation at the Peak of Unity Great Success, coupled with that peculiar black barrier, even if their entire Netherworld Palace were mobilized, they might struggle to overcome him.
Although Lu Qing had integrated nine Great Paths, possessing boundless potential, he had only recently achieved this breakthrough, and at this moment, he was merely a Divine Thought Avatar...
"Lu Qing, you must not suffer any harm." Qiu Ruofeng whispered to himself, his eyes clouded with profound worry.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the intense confrontation, the sphere of light in Lu Qing's grasp had reached its zenith of condensation.
Its luminescence intensified with each passing moment, as if intent on bathing the entire starry expanse in its glow.
The powers of the nine Great Paths coalesced perfectly within, forging an unprecedentedly potent force.
Lu Qing's gaze lifted, fixing upon the Deputy Master.
"Slash!"
He uttered a soft cry, and the light sphere in his hand abruptly transformed into a blade of pure light.
The light saber was not excessively long, measuring only about three feet, yet the sheer power it contained caused the entire starry space to tremble.
With a sweep of Lu Qing's arm, the light saber descended in a powerful cut.
This strike was imbued with terrifying might.
The fabric of the starry space was immediately rent asunder by a colossal fissure, extending from Lu Qing's position all the way to the Deputy Master.
Within the chasm, fragments of spaceS churned, and void turbulence surged, emitting an aura that sent shivers down the spine.
The velocity of this light saber had even transcended all known limits.
It did not travel; instead, at the precise instant it was unleashed, it materialized before the Deputy Master.
In that moment, space lost all meaning, and distance became irrelevant.
The Deputy Master's pupils contracted violently.
He attempted to evade, but discovered his body ensnared by the oppressive pressure emanating from the light saber, rendering him immobile.
He sought to act, but realized it was already far too late.
He could only watch in helpless despair as the saber met the Heavenly Demon Barrier.
Boom!
The cataclysmic shockwave reverberated through the starry void.
Countless celestial bodies quaked from the thunderous impact, and numerous spatial pockets were obliterated in this colossal blast.
The light saber collided with the somber barrier, detonating in a burst of incandescent brilliance.
The spectacle was so intense that even cultivators at the Unity Realm, observing via their divine senses, found their vision overwhelmed.
However, this time, the ominous black barrier could no longer, as it had previously, dissolve and neutralize all of Lu Qing's assaults into oblivion.
Despite its bizarre capability to nullify Great Path powers still functioning, desperately attempting to dissipate the channeled energy within the light saber.
It proved incapable of withstanding the overwhelming might of Lu Qing's offensive.
The simultaneous unleashing of nine Great Paths' energies pushed the power far beyond the barrier's inherent limit.
While neutralizing a portion of the Great Path energies, a more potent force descended directly upon it.
The black barrier began to shudder and fracture.
Cracks resembling a spider's web spread across its surface.
The Deputy Master's countenance finally underwent a significant change.
"Impossible..."
He uttered the word, his eyes wide with utter disbelief.
According to the ancient scriptures passed down by his progenitor, this Heavenly Demon Barrier was supposed to be impenetrable to cultivators from other worlds, even those who had attained Perfect Unity Realm, given his current cultivation level.
This was because their inherent energies were suppressed by this clan's specific mana, allowing them to unleash merely three-tenths of their true strength.
Yet now, this young man, who had only recently ascended to the Unity Realm and was presently a mere Divine Thought Avatar, had managed to breach his barrier?
How could such a feat be possible?
Boom!
Ultimately, as the power of Lu Qing's saber diminished by half, the peculiar barrier could no longer endure and shattered with explosive force.
Dark fragments rained down, tracing incandescent trails across the starry expanse before slowly fading away.
The residual energy of the light saber, unhindered, surged forward and struck the Deputy Master directly.
"Not good..."
The instant the barrier crumbled, a look of profound shock contorted the Deputy Master's features.
He attempted to retreat, but it was already too late.
The lingering power of the light saber impacted him squarely.
Boom!
An extremely violent explosion of space erupted, with the Deputy Temple Master at its epicenter, completely obliterating the starry sky within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Debris from shattered space, the chaotic currents of the void, and the raw power of the Great Dao raged uncontrollably, plunging the entire area into near pandemonium.
The sheer, terrifying might of the blast caused all those in the Unity Realm, who were observing the battle through their Divine Thoughts, to quiver in both heart and spirit.
They gazed, dumbfounded, at the tumultuous scene unfolding before them, rendered speechless for a considerable length of time.
"How... how could this possibly happen?"
"The power wielded by this individual is actually so incredibly terrifying!"
"A mere Divine Thought Avatar possesses such formidable strength? Then, just how immensely powerful must his true form be?"
These questions reverberated through transmitted Divine Thoughts, and even those ancient cultivators, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, lost their characteristic composure at this moment.
While simultaneously stunned by Lu Qing’s overwhelming power, they also found the situation difficult to fully accept.
Could it be that the enigmatic Deputy Temple Master of the Black and White Temple had truly met his demise at the hands of Lu Qing?
Amidst the ensuing chaos, the power of the Great Dao continued its wild rampage, and fragments of space still swirled violently.
Everything was shrouded in obscurity; nothing could be discerned clearly.
Only Lu Qing's brow furrowed slightly as he directed his gaze towards the expanse of the starry sky where the Great Dao's power surged.
He did not dare to lower his guard, for he could distinctly sense that the aura belonging to the Deputy Temple Master had not yet vanished.
Though significantly diminished, it persisted.
In the very next instant, a voice emerged from within that swirling vortex of Great Dao's power.
The voice was hoarse, deeply resonant, and brimmed with intense anger and deadly intent, as if it had emanated from the deepest reaches of the Nine Nether Abyss.
"Insect, you have genuinely incited my wrath."
Boom!
Coinciding with the utterance of this voice, the pervasive power of the Great Dao throughout the starry sky was instantaneously dispersed by an overwhelming, terrifying force.
A colossal figure materialized within the star-filled expanse.
It was a monster of grotesque and hideous appearance.
Its size rivaled that of a small hill, its entirety a deep, pitch black, and it was encased in thick, formidable armor.
The armor was intricately inscribed with peculiar patterns that emanated a faint glow, writhing as if possessing a life of their own.
Six immense wings unfurled from its form; each was gargantuan, and when spread wide, they completely obscured the sky.
These wings were adorned with sharp, bony spurs, their edges honed like blades, glinting with a chilling luminescence.
Furthermore, it possessed eight arms, each exuding immense strength and power, terminating in vicious claws capable of rending stars asunder.
Remnants of a dark, viscous liquid still clung to these claws, emitting a noxious and nauseating stench.
Two sturdy hind legs supported its massive frame, with muscles powerfully knotted, indicative of explosive, untamed power.
And its head was even more bizarre, a true testament to its unnatural origins.
Its face was a mass of compound eyes, packed densely together, each radiating an ice-cold, piercing light.
Its mouth housed a long, slender proboscis, sharp and emanating a deeply ominous aura.
This proboscis resembled a formidable spear or a razor-sharp sword, its tip incredibly acute, seemingly capable of piercing through any substance.
"What sort of monstrous being is this?!"
Upon witnessing this utterly strange and terrifying monster, every single expert in the Unity Realm observing via Divine Thought let out gasps of utter shock.
They had never laid eyes upon such an aberrant and horrifying creature before.
Its imposing aura was several times more potent than it had been previously.
It radiated a pure, primal, and ruthless power, saturated with an overwhelming desire for utter destruction.
Absolutely no one had anticipated that the elusive Deputy Temple Master of the Black and White Temple would actually transform into such a monstrous entity.
He had remained concealed for over a hundred thousand years, consistently presenting himself in a human guise; no one had ever witnessed his true form.
And now, he had been forced by Lu Qing to reveal his original, terrifying form.
Only Qiu Ruofeng and the others from the Netherworld Palace felt an internal tremor of dread.
They stared intently at the colossal monster, their eyes filled with profound disbelief.
This was because the monstrous form bore an uncanny resemblance to certain creatures depicted in ancient scrolls passed down through the generations by their ancestors!
Those scrolls had been left behind by their progenitor, the very founder of the Netherworld Palace.
Within them were recorded certain ancient secrets, including detailed descriptions of malevolent creatures from other worlds.
And this monstrous entity before them corresponded almost precisely with those ancient descriptions!
"This... this cannot be possible..." Qiu Ruofeng stammered, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Could it be that the Deputy Temple Master of the Black and White Temple is actually..."
He left the sentence unfinished, but the surrounding elders instantly grasped his terrifying implication.
That monstrous creature was none other than the malevolent entity that had invaded this starry sky in ages past!
And it had been secretly residing within the Black and White Temple all this time, masquerading as a human and lying in wait for over a hundred thousand years!
At this very moment, a bone-chilling cold permeated every elder of the Netherworld Palace.
