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

Yet how could such assaults possibly injure Lu Qing?

He showed no intention of evading, simply letting the strikes crash onto his form.

In the instant that followed, every array assault vanished without a trace, swallowed up by him and converted straight into his personal power.

Next, Lu Qing shaped his hand like a blade, unleashing a sharp burst of Sword Qi with a quick slash that shattered the Black Tower's entrance, propelling him within.

The moment he glanced inside, 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 Unity Realm Great Power, your Escape Technique is remarkably impressive," Lu Qing remarked with genuine admiration at the sight.

His own swiftness had been considerable, but it fell short against this foe all the same.

The Unity Realm proved its might; despite Luo Yuantian lacking mastery over the Space Avenue, his velocity stayed utterly frightening, far surpassing what Lu Qing could achieve.

The greater the realm, the more overwhelmingly superior it becomes.

"So, your aim was indeed the elders' Soul Lamps,"

Luo Yuantian experienced a wave of relief upon spotting Lu Qing.

Fortunately, his response 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 you, but the next one won't favor your fortune so kindly."

Noting the Soul Lamps already gathered, Lu Qing sensed a touch of disappointment yet refused to linger on it.

He spun around and exited the Black Tower without delay.

"Just departing like this?"

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

He'd assumed this Evil Demon would at least offer some resistance, but to his surprise, the departure came so straightforwardly.

Right then, a thunderous explosion resounded from beyond.

Catching the source of the blast, Luo Yuantian's features twisted in alarm: "No, that's the Treasure Vault's position!"

His figure abruptly dissolved, and Luo Yuantian hastened his flight toward the exterior.

As the Human Race's Sacred Land, the Holy Alliance certainly possessed a treasure vault.

The riches stored there were extraordinarily plentiful.

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

As he morphed into a gust of wind, speeding toward the Treasure Vault.

He beheld an utterly astonishing spectacle.

Lu Qing had shifted into a colossal form spanning a thousand feet, demolishing a palace with a single blow, then raking the earth to yank the Treasure Vault from its buried depths.

While masses of dirt and rock tumbled from above, despite the protective arrays around the Treasure Vault sparkling and unleashing endless bolts of lightning and bursts of fire against Lu Qing's hand, they achieved nothing.

Lu Qing only quivered faintly, drawing in every bit of Array Power encircling him.

This dimmed the radiance enveloping the whole Treasure Vault.

At that point, a sack at Lu Qing's side detached, ballooning swiftly into a massive peak, and advanced to engulf the Treasure Vault.

Upon this sight, Luo Yuantian halted abruptly, reforming his shape and staring at the unfolding event with fury and disbelief.

He failed to grasp how Lu Qing knew the Treasure Vault's whereabouts. Was there a betrayer within the Holy Alliance who had leaked the information beforehand?

"Haha, old man, what's your play now? If you've got the nerve, charge right into the Treasure Vault. I'd love to watch you try to wrest it away from me!"

Lu Qing chuckled as Luo Yuantian emerged into sight.

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

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

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

Though his cultivation level towered high and his wind-form technique ran deep, it held no absolute invincibility.

Should he enter the Treasure Vault at this juncture, he'd be trapped helplessly like a catch in a net the moment Lu Qing sealed it within his Magical Treasure.

If it concerned only himself, the loss would mean little, given this was just a Divine Thought Avatar, and its destruction posed no real threat.

But he bore Vice Alliance Leader Han's Primordial Spirit along with the elders' Soul Lamps.

Allowing those to slip into Lu Qing's grasp would render all his efforts pointless.

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

With the Treasure Vault safely tucked inside, Lu Qing summoned it back, the Qiankun One Qi Bag contracting rapidly to reattach at his waist.

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 in a frosty tone.

His mind reeled with profound turmoil.

Watching Lu Qing enlarge into a giant once more, he discerned faint hints at last.

This Evil Demon's ability resembled the legendary Divine Skills of the Ancient Witch Clan.

Was this Evil Demon perhaps a heir of the Ancient Witch Clan?

Luo Yuantian reflected on certain timeless ancient tales, his face darkening further.

"Old man, you might have snatched the Soul Lamps thanks to your superior realm, but bringing them back to life isn't so straightforward. Lacking the supplies from this Treasure Vault, I'm curious how you'll manage to revive them.

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

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, wondrous as they were, demanded immense effort to perform.

Reviving a Primordial Spirit Realm being called for vast expenditures of resources.

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

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

Seeking to restore them entirely would demand unimaginable wealth.

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

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

This development intensified the crisis manifold.

Though Luo Yuantian stood at the Unity Realm, he lacked plentiful resurrection materials himself.

Hence, most elders would inevitably remain unrestored.

Even more vital was the strict constraint on Resurrection Techniques.

For upon the main body's demise, the Divine Split turned adrift without foundation, necessitating revival within a decade.

Failing that, once the deadline elapsed, the Divine Split would scatter and collapse completely.

Thus, even if Luo Yuantian scrambled to amass resources personally, the brief timeframe might not allow gathering enough.

Lu Qing's action struck like dousing the fire beneath the pot, forcing him into complete disadvantage.

"So, this was your scheme from the start."

Luo Yuantian regarded Lu Qing with a shadowed look, coming to appreciate the sheer dreadfulness of this Evil Demon more acutely.

"It's the same for both sides; you outmaneuvered me once before, and now I've simply returned the favor," Lu Qing replied evenly, "I declared that they all must perish. I'm eager to learn how many you can actually rescue."

Luo Yuantian fixed his stare on Lu Qing, his face shifting through varied emotions.

Ultimately, he let out a resigned sigh: "Friend, must you drive us to utter hopelessness? Surely you realize that not every Holy Alliance elder bore ill will toward you? A few even sought to halt actions against you."

"Yet ultimately, they all came at me, right?" Lu Qing stood firm, unmoved. "Having struck first, they must face the repercussions. Had I been the one overcome today, would you believe I'd still draw breath?"

Luo Yuantian fell quiet.

Truth be told, certain elders had indeed favored gentler approaches toward Lu Qing.

Nevertheless, should Lu Qing have lost earlier, only one outcome awaited him.

"Friend, is there really no way to discuss this?"

After a stretch of quiet, Luo Yuantian spoke to Lu Qing in an almost beseeching manner.

"These elders erred momentarily, but they've genuinely safeguarded the Human Race in this Great World. Though you're not native to the Heavenly Origin Great World, as a fellow Human Clan Cultivator, can you truly stand by and let them all perish?"

Observing Luo Yuantian's imploring expression, Lu Qing stayed silent.

At length, amid Luo Yuantian's approaching despair,

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