I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1517 - 896: Prophecy Verified, Reversal of Offense and Defense (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
"I will tear this clone of yours to shreds, then hunt down your true form."
It unhurled its six immense wings one by one, each stretching for hundreds of feet, obliterating the sky and the sun. The bone spurs adorning the wings gleamed with a chilling luminescence in the celestial expanse, their edges as sharp as blades, possessing an extraordinary keenness.
"Rest assured, I will not grant you a swift demise."
Extending its elongated proboscis, it delicately pierced the void. The proboscis bore the resemblance of a spear, yet also that of a sharp sword, its tip impossibly pointed, capable of piercing through space itself to manifest a miniature black hole.
The anomaly spun slowly, emitting a disquieting and unsettling aura.
"I intend for you to remain alive, witnessing as your very being and Divine Soul are gradually consumed by me."
Its voice was frigid, as if it could freeze the fabric of space.
Upon shedding its disguise and revealing its genuine form, the Deputy Temple Master's presence grew even more malevolent and formidable, his killing intent escalating beyond measure. This intent was practically palpable, causing the surrounding starry sky to subtly quiver, leaving even those Unity Realm Stage observers, who were probing with their Divine Thought, gasping for breath.
Only he was privy to the immense cost incurred by Lu Qing's sword strike.
Initially, leveraging his race's innate Divine Ability, he had transformed and insinuated himself into this physical vessel, so much so that even the Tao Origin of this world could not truly detect his existence. He was akin to a serpent camouflaged amongst a shoal of fish, masking his aura and imitating their movements, rendering him indistinguishable to the Tao Origin amidst countless other life forms.
His ultimate objective was to assimilate the Taoist Laws of this world and achieve Perfect Harmony, thereby becoming one with the realm. At that juncture, he would be an integral part of this world, and the Tao Origin would be powerless to expel him.
Subsequently, he and the temple master planned to conduct a blood sacrifice, establish communion with their native land, and forge a gateway between the two realms. This undertaking promised not only supreme accolades but also the freedom to traverse between dimensions at will.
With the combined resources of both realms, he could not only reinstate his lost cultivation from the Transformation Realm but also harbor a faint hope of venturing into realms far beyond it.
Yet, all these aspirations were now shattered by Lu Qing's decisive sword thrust.
His fabricated body lay in ruins, and his true essence was forcibly exposed, laid bare amidst the celestial tapestry. He could already sense the awareness of the Tao Origin focusing upon him.
The immense, boundless power of the world began to stir, initiating a process of rejection. A brand had been affixed to him, much like a hunter marking its quarry. This signified that, henceforth, regardless of his attempts at disguise or alteration, integration into this world would be an impossibility.
The mark would forever cling to him, ensuring the Tao Origin's perpetual ability to track his location. Even in unseen dimensions, he would remain a target for this Otherworld Tao Origin.
While the Tao Origin lacked the direct capacity to annihilate him, it would orchestrate numerous tribulations to befall him indirectly. In the future, be it during cultivation or traversing through space, unforeseen calamities would seek him out. Perhaps a sudden, violent space storm, an unexpected Heavenly Tribulation, or even an inexplicable descent into demonic corruption.
The Tao Origin would refrain from direct intervention but would effectively turn the entire world against him.
After countless years of meticulous planning and patient endurance, his hopes were dashed by Lu Qing. How could the Deputy Temple Master not harbor an all-consuming hatred for this insignificant being from the lower realm?
"So, you are indeed a Demon Child from another world."
Lu Qing, confronting the overwhelming surge of killing intent, remained utterly unfazed. Suspended in the starry sky, his demeanor was one of serene composure, as if the monstrous entity before him were merely a slightly oversized insect.
"You managed to infiltrate this place. It seems the ancestor of the Black and White Temple back then did not gain any fortune from the Dark Abyss but was instead possessed by you. That is the only plausible explanation for your emergence from there."
His voice, though not raised, resonated clearly throughout the vast expanse of the heavens. The Unity Realm Stage cultivators observing through their Divine Thought were once again thrown into a state of astonishment upon hearing these revelations.
Possession?
Was the ancestor of the Black and White Temple truly taken over by this creature?
No wonder... no wonder he underwent such a radical transformation after returning from the Dark Abyss and never revealed his true intentions again. No wonder, after establishing the Black and White Temple, he rarely appeared, and in recent millennia, he has vanished entirely.
It turned out he was no longer human.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's declaration, the Deputy Temple Master recoiled in shock.
"Ant, you are aware of my origins?"
A flicker of surprise and suspicion crossed its multifaceted eyes. It had presumed that the cultivators of this celestial realm had long consigned the history of ancient times and the existence of its kind to oblivion.
Countless years had elapsed, to the point where even Transformation Immortals had faded from existence and ancient legends were eroded by the passage of time.
Yet, this insignificant being before him actually possessed knowledge of its origins.
"In eras long past, you trespassed into our celestial expanse and were decisively vanquished and driven back by the revered sages of that epoch," Lu Qing stated with an air of detachment, his gaze composedly fixed upon the monstrous entity.
"It is unexpected that after myriad millennia, your malevolent intentions persist, still harboring ambitions of invasion."
Though his tone remained even, each utterance struck the very core of the experts present in the Unity Realm Stage like a relentless hammer blow.
An ancient invasion? Malicious entities? A gateway to another world?
These phrases reverberated within their minds, causing profound tremors in their Heart and Spirit.
They involuntarily recalled a prophecy that had endured through the ages.
A supreme calamity was foretold to befall the cosmos, a time of mass annihilation where countless worlds would meet utter destruction.
This prophecy had always been dismissed as mere folklore, never truly embraced.
But now, confronting the colossal creature before them and sensing the intrinsically terrifying aura it radiated, they were suddenly struck by an unsettling realization—that prophecy might, in fact, hold the weight of truth.
