I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1325 - 806: Shocking All Directions, Crushing with One Hand (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
They remained stationed at the edge of the Demon Domain, holding back from advancing into human lands for now, simply because they were biding their time.
Their anticipation centered on the results from Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable and his companions, who led the charge as the forward troops assaulting Demon Suppression City.
Should Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable manage to seize Demon Suppression City, and if reinforcements from the Holy Alliance failed to show up,
that would confirm serious troubles brewing among the Holy Alliance's elders.
Under those circumstances, they could boldly unleash a full-scale invasion into human territories without a second thought.
At first, witnessing Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable deploy his Demon Treasure to shatter the City Protection Array around Demon Suppression City, with no aid from the Holy Alliance forthcoming,
the demon lords believed their reports were spot on, and the moment for the Demon Clan to conquer the Heavenly Origin Great World had finally arrived.
A surge of thrill coursed through them briefly.
But just as their excitement peaked, an enigmatic mighty expert emerged and crushed Silent Annihilation in one devastating strike.
This turn of events left Yuan Yi Demon Venerable and his allies deeply stunned, since this abrupt powerhouse was entirely unknown to them.
None of their dossiers on human experts matched this individual.
"Luo Yuantian, who is that person?"
Beyond the boundaries of the Heavenly Origin Great World, the Primordial Demon, in the midst of reshaping into the Demon Domain, found himself startled by this development.
He had been delighted earlier, observing Luo Yuantian's frantic pleas for help from the Mystic Earth Golden Dragon.
He felt confident in his wager, convinced that grave problems indeed plagued the human side.
The chance for the Demon Clan to bring the entire Heavenly Origin Great World under their control was within reach.
By merging the Heavenly Origin Great World into the Demon Domain and thriving under the flourishing Demon Path,
his own cultivation could surge ahead, propelling him into deeper mysteries.
Yet, out of nowhere, a hidden powerhouse intervened, halting Silent Annihilation and his group.
As Silent Annihilation got obliterated, a strange sense of wrongness crept over him.
"He actually made a move?!"
Even while ensnared temporarily by the Primordial Demon, Luo Yuantian matched the other's power and cultivation level.
Though confined for the moment, the Primordial Demon couldn't fully block his awareness of external happenings.
Therefore, he detected the chaos in Demon Suppression City too, feeling both surprise and relief.
The surprise came from Lu Qing's unexpected arrival to repel the Demon Clan's offensive.
His relief arose because Lu Qing's involvement meant the human race's peril could vanish in an instant.
This presence, operating inside the Heavenly Origin Great World, wielded strength that eclipsed even his Divine Thought Avatar.
With such a guardian, the demon lords had no hope of prevailing.
"That kid is helping the human race?"
Meanwhile, the golden-eyed middle-aged man, also at the Unity Realm Stage, picked up on this occurrence and was utterly floored.
He hadn't anticipated that the youth who recently massacred numerous Holy Alliance elders from the human side would now aid humans.
"Xuanjin, do you know who that boy is?"
At the golden-eyed middle-aged man's outburst, the Primordial Demon promptly demanded answers.
"Uh..."
The golden-eyed middle-aged man faltered, words escaping him.
Earlier on, he would have swiftly revealed Lu Qing's identity and history to the Primordial Demon.
He might have even seized the chance to urge the Primordial Demon into an alliance with him, aiming to take down Lu Qing.
But at this juncture, he wavered.
With the Demon Clan poised to storm human territories in full force, success would lead them to turn their sights on his own Demon Clan afterward, once they'd absorbed their spoils.
Thus, Lu Qing's interference against the Demon Clan actually benefited his faction.
Though the golden-eyed middle-aged man harbored deep grudge against Lu Qing for recently squeezing a fortune in spirit stones from him, he recognized the need to focus on the broader stakes right now.
Noticing the golden-eyed middle-aged man's reluctance, the Primordial Demon quickly grasped that this fellow definitely knew the youth's background down there.
Right as he prepared to press for more details, Luo Yuantian, genuinely cornered, erupted into mocking laughter.
"Hahaha... Primordial Demon, no point in asking further. That's someone you could never handle. Sit back and watch; your Demon Clan is doomed this time!"
"Hmph, I refuse to buy it. What threat could an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit pose? Luo Yuantian, you're getting senile, deluding yourself that a mere Primordial Spirit insect can rescue your human race."
Despite a twinge of doubt stirring inside, the Primordial Demon refused to let it show before Luo Yuantian.
Besides, he truly doubted that an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit could cause any real disruption against his Demon Clan forces.
"Hahaha... Primordial Demon, keep observing. You'll rue this choice today!"
Luo Yuantian, undeterred, kept laughing boisterously.
The Primordial Demon mulled over something and was ready to dig deeper when the events at Demon Suppression City in the Heavenly Origin Great World took another abrupt turn.
"Boy, who are you?"
Hovering over Demon Suppression City, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable pieced his body back together, glaring at Lu Qing with caution.
This stemmed not just from his recent destruction at Lu Qing's hands, but also from his inability to gauge Lu Qing's cultivation realm despite every effort to sense it.
Only two explanations fit this anomaly.
First, the opponent wielded a potent Exotic Treasure that masked auras and thwarted divinations.
Second, the opponent's cultivation realm vastly outstripped his own, making any probing futile.
Given the horrifying strike Lu Qing had unleashed moments ago, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable leaned toward the second possibility, or maybe a combination of both.
"Damn it, didn't the reports say the human elders were all dead? Where did this monstrous powerhouse come from all of a sudden? Those Enchanting Demon spies are completely worthless!"
Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable inwardly raged at the Enchanting Demon Clan.
He had stepped up as the vanguard precisely because Enchanting Demon spies claimed the human elite powerhouses were eliminated.
Who could have foreseen such a dreadful entity springing up out of thin air.
Even with his wariness, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable understood retreat wasn't an option now.
Yuan Yi Demon Venerable and the rest observed from behind; fleeing would demolish their drive.
His standing and prestige in the Demon Clan would suffer a massive blow, something he couldn't tolerate.
Sensing his Lifebound Demon Treasure nearby, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable gained a bit of confidence.
With his Lifebound Demon Treasure in play, not even Yuan Yi Demon Venerable could wipe him out completely in short order.
No matter how mighty this enigmatic foe seemed, surpassing Yuan Yi Demon Venerable was out of the question, so his survival was secure for the moment.
"Who am I?" Lu Qing gave a faint chuckle, "Old Silent Annihilation, you're really forgetful. Don't you recall how you bragged in front of me before?"
"Bragged?"
Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable froze for a second, then examined Lu Qing anew.
Yet, no matter the scrutiny, no trace of recognition stirred in him from Lu Qing's presence.
At his cultivation stage, encountering such a powerhouse previously would have left an indelible mark, impossible to overlook.
"Looks like you've really forgotten."
Lu Qing shook his head a touch, then casually spread his palm, stirring a distortion in the void.
In the instant that followed, a form materialized abruptly, seized by the throat in his grip.
"How about now, does this refresh your memory? This Demon Child barely slipped away from me last time. Wonder if fortune favors him again today."
"Cang Jue!"
Spotting the captive, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable's eyes narrowed sharply.
Sure enough, the one clutched by Lu Qing was Cang Jue himself.
With Lu Qing's present might, detecting and snatching him proved effortless.
"Father!"
Cang Jue, neck in Lu Qing's vise, flushed crimson, straining to break free, but remained utterly pinned.
A crushing pressure locked away every bit of strength in his frame.
"You're that human ant from the Trial Secret Realm in the Netherworld Palace back then?!"
Catching Lu Qing's words, Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable at last recalled something, blurting out in alarm.
Cang Jue's eyes bulged in shock as he gaped at Lu Qing.
"Looks like you remember now." Lu Qing smiled lightly, "Then this Demon Child serves no purpose."
With that, a surge of energy welled up from his form.
Dread flooded Cang Jue's gaze; he yearned to cry out, but his efforts proved pointless.
