I wouldn't bet on that. Redcloak (I think) has explicitly stated that scrying is not one of Xykon's strong points, so I doubt Xykon actually has any epic scrying magic. Yes, he's got epic magic, but it's probably all focused on other areas. Thus, I believe blocking non-epic scrying is sufficient to keep Xykon from peeking, but Eugene in the afterlife has access to scrying-specific epic magic and can probably beat the throne room's protection with that.

Eugene still has a high chance of not knowing about Soon, but for entirely different reasons. If he looked at any point other than during the Soon/Xykon battle, there wouldn't have been anything to see. While that battle was going on, there was an enormous battle covering the entire city, any detail of which could have distracted Eugene from checking the throne room.
