I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 959: Chapter 609: Ancient Murals, Deadly White Light (Part 2)

One must know, traveling in the secret realm already consumes a lot of mana, and here it is even more so.

Even with his Perfect Golden Core, facing such consumption, he felt a bit strained.

However, he also discovered that if he used the Power of the Physical Body, the consumption wasn’t as exaggerated.

Immediately, Lu Qing restrained his mana and propelled himself using only the Power of the Physical Body to travel.

Although this slowed him down somewhat, the consumption was greatly reduced.

Boom!

One foot stomped on the ground, and under the thrust of immense power, Lu Qing’s figure left behind a series of afterimages, rapidly heading towards the Heaven-Reaching Mountain.

After running for several hundred miles, his steps suddenly halted, coming to a stop.

He saw that not far ahead, more than a dozen people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, in a state of meditation.

However, all these faces were unfamiliar, and Lu Qing did not know which faction they belonged to.

”Is it him?!”

The more than a dozen people also sensed the commotion. Upon opening their eyes, they were all greatly astonished.

Lu Qing did not recognize them, but they were very familiar with him.

A few days ago, the scene of him consecutively hunting nearly a hundred Golden Core Level mutant beasts, and then single-handedly subduing dozens of elite disciples from Major Sects like Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect was still vivid in their minds.

Seeing such a formidable figure coming from behind, they were shocked and became highly vigilant.

They had all witnessed Lu Qing pillaging Yu Dahai and his group firsthand that day.

They were afraid that if Lu Qing got displeased, he might plunder them as well.

However, they were clearly overthinking it, as Lu Qing had no interest in attacking them.

After just glancing at them, he stepped on the ground and set off again, quickly passing by them, advancing forward.

Seeing that Lu Qing did not attack them, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Then, they looked at Lu Qing’s quickly fading figure with an expression of marvel.

”I never thought that this one would enter the Ancient Tower. Indeed, he has the strength to venture the tower alone.”

”To be honest, it’s strange that he’s only entering now; with such strength, why waste time on those mutant beasts?”

”It’s likely that those mutant beasts indeed harbor a tremendous secret, but unfortunately, we are powerless to unravel it.”

”Possessing a strong physical body is advantageous. This space is too mana-consuming to travel; it took us a whole day to get here. Judging by his speed, it probably won’t take him half a day to reach the Heaven-Reaching Mountain.”

”We have no choice; our Spirit Stones and elixirs are running low. Even if it means slowing down, we can’t afford to consume everything here. Otherwise, without the support of mana, just the weight of this space would make our steps laborious.”

”That’s right, it’s better to be steady and ensure mana sufficiency.”

After some discussion, Lu Qing’s figure had long since disappeared, and they were just about to resume their meditation.

Suddenly, one person’s expression shifted: ”Did anyone else feel something?”

”Lao Mo, what did you say?”

The others looked at him, but in the next moment, their expressions changed, all looking towards their feet.

They felt a fierce aura rising from underground.

However, before they had time to react, the ground suddenly cracked open, a white light flashed, cutting across Lao Mo.

Then they saw Lao Mo’s expression freeze, his Vitality Qi rapidly dissipating.

His entire body split in two, falling to the ground, the smell of blood immediately permeating the air.

”What the hell is this thing?!”

Everyone was astonished, immediately summoning their Magical Treasures to protect themselves.

At this moment, no one dared speak of conserving mana anymore, all were cautiously watching the movement below.

Lao Mo, a Sixth Transition Golden Core expert, was instantly wiped out by that white light, dead on the spot.

Just what was that white light.

Yet no matter how they tried to sense it, they couldn’t probe the situation underground.

They only felt a fierce aura moving rapidly beneath them, at an incredible speed.

Swish!

As everyone remained wary, the ground split again, and another white light shot from below, flying towards another Golden Core realm individual.

”Go!”

This time, having been on guard, that Golden Core realm reacted in time.

With the stimulation of his Heart and Spirit, the flying sword he had painstakingly refined flew immediately toward the white light.

Clang!

The flying sword accurately struck the white light, and with a crisp sound, the white light flipped backward and eventually paused in mid-air.

It was then that everyone managed to see the white light’s true form.

They were all taken aback.

”Is that a mantis?”

Indeed, it resembled a Mantis-like Mutant Beast.

Except, it was as long as a human arm, and far more menacing in appearance than an ordinary mantis.

Especially its twin bladed legs, unusually long, emitting a chilling cold light. It seemed to slice through one’s very Divine Soul just by looking at it.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that the white light they saw earlier was transformed from the mantis mutant beast’s bladed legs.

”Kill this creature and avenge Lao Mo!”

After figuring out the white light’s nature, everyone became angry.

The Mantis Mutant Beast before them was only at the Initial Realm of the Golden Core level, yet it had ambushed and killed one of their companions, infuriating them.

Immediately, over a dozen Golden Core realm experts collectively unleashed their Taoist Magical Treasures to attack the mantis mutant beast.

Facing so many attacks, the mantis mutant beast, despite trying to dodge with all its might, could not fully evade.

In the end, despite its tough physical body, it was torn to pieces by the furious Golden Core realm attacks, and with a scream, was completely annihilated.

”What bad luck, indeed, this space contained hidden dangers, it was our negligence that cost Lao Mo his life so unjustly.”

A Golden Core late-stage expert looked sadly at Lao Mo’s corpse.

The rest fell silent.

They had been in this space for a whole day.

Throughout the day, they kept traveling, not encountering any living creatures.

Thus, they subconsciously assumed this space held no dangers.

Little did they know, just a moment of carelessness cost Lao Mo his life.

”Alright, now is not the time for mourning. Since Lao Mo came here to explore, he should have been prepared for death. Collect his corpse and let’s continue traveling.”

That late-stage Golden Core realm spoke.

The others, hearing this, also gathered their feelings.

Having cultivated to such a realm, they had witnessed many life and death events.

While the loss of a companion was saddening, it wasn’t enough to make them retreat.

Just when they were about to gather Lao Mo’s corpse, their expressions abruptly changed once again.

Everyone suddenly felt a surge of fierce aura erupting from beneath the ground, rapidly approaching them.

”Not good, that mantis mutant beast had companions. Its earlier screams were calling for them, run!”

The Golden Core late-stage expert suddenly realized, shouting loudly.

He immediately activated his Magical Treasure, quickly dodging to the side.

The others did the same, not caring about Lao Mo’s body anymore. They frantically activated their Magic Treasure Taoist Techniques and fled in all directions.

Just as they dodged, the place they had stood shattered, and countless white lights erupted, tearing through everything around.

Lao Mo’s body was instantly shredded with no trace left.

After shredding Lao Mo’s body, those white lights immediately charged toward the remaining Golden Core experts.

”It’s over!”

The late-stage Golden Core expert looked back. The white lights emerging from underground numbered at least a few hundred.

Pursuing him were dozens of them, and his face was instantly filled with despair.

”Little Li, what’s wrong?”

As Lu Qing journeyed, he suddenly felt Little Li crawl onto his shoulder, looking towards the rear.

”I have a bad feeling coming from behind,” Little Li tilted his head and said.

”A bad feeling?”

Lu Qing also tried sensing it.

But due to the peculiar nature of this space, their Divine Soul Sensing range was severely restricted, so he didn’t sense anything.

”Could it be that those people we met earlier ran into trouble?” Lu Qing speculated.

But after some thought, he ultimately did not turn back.

Since they dared to enter the tower, whatever they encounter must be left to fate.

He wasn’t a do-gooder, not interested in meddling in everything.

Besides, he had already run a hundred miles or more. If something did happen, it might be too late to return.

So after a moment’s thought, Lu Qing continued forward.

Running all the way towards the Heaven-Reaching Mountain, about an hour later, Lu Qing finally arrived near the mountain’s base.
