I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1279 - 779: Seizing the Life Core, Unraveling Minor Causality (2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Right then, as his Heaven-shocking Stab raced toward the Wind Beast's Life Core in a blink,
the Wind Beast's full form burst apart with a thunderous crash, fusing into the boundless winds and sands, Life Core included.
All the mana he'd poured into that Heaven-shocking Stab struck nothing, soaring upward into the heavens.
"Go!"
What stunned the white-robed youth even further was the sharp yell erupting nearby, as multiple silhouettes burst from the light barrier, racing away in retreat.
His fellow disciples, convinced he'd demolished the Wind Beast, wasted no time and bolted desperately as per his command.
A chill of dread surged through the white-robed youth's chest. He whipped around and bellowed: "No!"
Yet it was far too late. The scattered Wind Beast reformed in merely one breath's time.
Its enormous, mountain-like palm swept forward, slamming down on those figures who hadn't fled far enough.
"This is bad—how did the Wind Beast pull itself together so fast?"
"It intentionally broke apart its body and dodged Senior Brother's strike!"
"That flaw it showed before was on purpose—can the Wind Beast really be that clever?"
"We're in trouble; without the Mystic Light Shield, there's no way to withstand this attack!"
"It's finished!"
The escaping group sensed the overwhelming might of the Wind Beast's assault, their shock unmatched.
They'd never dreamed a Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast could boast such sharp wits.
The disorder it faked earlier was a trap to draw Senior Brother's strike.
With the Heaven-shocking Stab gone and them outside the Mystic Light Shield's coverage,
against this sly Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast that commanded vast winds and sands, they resembled helpless sheep awaiting the knife, escape impossible.
As the massive, sand-laden hand loomed nearer, utter hopelessness flooded every heart.
Just as they braced for annihilation,
a steady voice rang out abruptly.
"Stop."
At that single command, the whole world fell silent.
Be it the colossal Wind Beast, the raging winds and sands, or the darting figures,
all halted completely, locked in stasis.
"What's going on?"
The white-robed youth jerked his head, staring wide-eyed at the sight unfolding.
In his view now, the entire scene stood motionless.
The huge Wind Beast hung suspended in the air, its extending sandy palm halted right over his junior brothers and sisters.
His juniors were similarly immobilized, their faces etched with terror.
He too was pinned down, every motion denied.
As bewilderment gripped the white-robed youth, his eyes narrowed sharply once more.
For there, several forms materialized abruptly in front of the massive Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast.
More precisely, a blue-robed young man and a breathtakingly lovely girl, accompanied by a few tiny Mutant Beasts.
Next, he watched the youth grin at the Wind Beast.
"Old pal, it's been ages—did you miss me?"
Lu Qing grinned while addressing the Wind Beast, whose gaze brimmed with fright.
At the same time, a touch of astonishment stirred within him.
Who would've thought, after so many years, this once-bumbling Wind Beast had advanced tremendously.
Not just reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, but its cunning had sharpened too, even devising tricks.
That earlier feigned vulnerability had made the white-robed youth's fatal blow whiff, earning Lu Qing's quiet admiration.
The restrained Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast, spotting Lu Qing, quivered violently, fury blazing in its eyes.
How could it fail to know this was the human who'd once played it for a fool?
Though his looks had shifted a little, that Divine Soul presence lingered indelibly.
This very youth had duped it and slain numerous underlings.
This spurred the Wind Beast to intense self-examination, fueling rigorous cultivation that unlocked Primordial Spirit Realm strength.
It had also spied on human travelers across the Gale Plain, picking up sly tactics from them.
All to one day face this youth again, evade his deceptions, and pulverize him utterly!
Facing its foe so directly now, how could rage not consume the Wind Beast?
The sands comprising its form began to rumble, straining against the bonds to pulverize the human youth.
"You're as stubborn as always."
Observing the Wind Beast's furious state, Lu Qing shook his head.
Seconds earlier, he'd figured this Wind Beast had grown wiser, plotting against foes.
But clearly, no real change had taken root.
It couldn't gauge the peril at all, still woefully short on smarts.
"Looks like you're not up for catching up. Alright, I'll send you on your way."
With a subtle shift in thought, Lu Qing released the binding force on the Wind Beast.
The Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast sensed the unseen hold vanish, joy surging instantly.
In the following instant, it bellowed and lunged as if to savage Lu Qing.
Just when Lu Qing expected the Wind Beast to clash fiercely, its gigantic frame dissolved abruptly, bursting into a storm of sand across the sky.
Its Life Core darted into the infinite winds and sands, vanishing utterly.
Seizing the moment to flee.
Lu Qing paused briefly in surprise, then chuckled: "You've learned a thing or two, pulling feints now, but think that'll slip you from my hold?"
With a casual hand extension, Lu Qing reached into the empty space ahead.
Then, an incredulous yelp echoed.
Amid the ceaseless winds and sands, slender strands of pale yellow glow swiftly converged in Lu Qing's grasp.
Quickly, they shaped a yellow glow speck, dropping into his hand.
At the heart of that yellow glow speck, muffled roars thundered invisibly, none other than the Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast's cries.
"He pulled out a Wind Beast Life Core that's fused with the winds and sands by force?"
Witnessing this, the white-robed youth and his companions gaped in disbelief.
For an instant, they overlooked the lifting of their own restraints.
In truth, Lu Qing's feat was downright miraculous.
Aware that the Gale Plain held unique traits, tied to the enigmatic Wind Cavern that endlessly spawned mighty Wind Beasts.
Wind Beasts thrived in this domain brimming with wind laws, their form-shifting prowess granting unmatched toughness.
Even a typical Wind Beast, once its Life Core blended into winds and sands, proved a nightmare to handle—even for Primordial Spirit Realm experts.
Yet here they beheld a Primordial Spirit Realm Wind Beast, Life Core merged into the sands and winds,
snatched back by a human cultivator straight from the turmoil!
Gazing at the yellow glow speck in Lu Qing's palm, the white-robed youth and others grappled to fathom the method.
Not even their esteemed master, a revered Four Tribulations Primordial Spirit, wielded such godlike prowess.
What manner of being was this enigmatic youth among them!
"I warned you—escape from me is impossible."
Eying the Wind Beast Life Core in his grip, radiating desperate pleas, Lu Qing offered no pity.
With a light clench of his fingers, beneath the crush of immense might, the yellow glow speck yielded without fight, shattering and fading in a flash.
With this tie severed, Lu Qing declared: "Little Yan, time to move."
"Senior, hold on..."
As Lu Qing turned to depart, the now-freed white-robed youth called out in haste.
But before his words ended, Lu Qing and his group blinked away, traces erased.
"That's Space Shifting!"
The white-robed youth trembled once more.
To execute Space Shifting demanded at minimum a Great Power at Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations.
This senior outstripped his master's level by leaps!
Strangely, though, the senior's face tugged at vague memories.
The white-robed youth pondered fiercely, struck by sudden insight, his eyes bulging wide.
