I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1285: Theyve Come to Our Doorstep
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
In the Hall of Fallen Divinity.
Many elders positioned themselves quietly along the sides, standing in solemn reverence, as Liu Runan and his son quivered on their knees along the central starry pathway inside the vast chamber.
Anxiety swirled chaotically in the minds of this father and son pair, endless surges of regret boiling inside. Just imagining Yi Feng stepping into the sacred hall and dwelling under the same roof filled them with deep remorse.
Though the delay lasted only seconds, every instant dragged on like an eternity of ten thousand years, their souls wracked with agony, their wordless pleas continuing without end!
At last.
Waves in the fabric of space drifted across the majestic hall.
Detecting the spatial disturbances, Liu Runan shut his eyes in complete despair, his thoughts overwhelmed by the certainty that everything was finished.
It's finished.
The arrival of the two Star Envoys signaled the end of the affair.
Just as he sealed his eyes to face his destiny.The nearby elders started drawing in sharp, astonished gasps!
"Hiss…"
The odd noises jolted Liu Runan into snapping his eyes open. Glancing over his shoulder, he noticed that just a single Star Envoy had come back, holding a severed right arm, his expression twisted with sorrow and fury!
This...
Liu Runan stood frozen in disbelief!
He had never dreamed the result would turn out this way!
The Star Envoys had gone to fetch an independent cultivator, so how did they wind up so battered? What kind of horrifying entity had they run into?!
Amid the widespread amazement.
From beyond the beaded curtain, the Star Lord's voice emerged, laced with uncertainty.
"Why do you return by yourself, and so severely injured? What happened?"
The ashen-faced Star Envoy bent in a formal bow, delivering his account almost through clenched teeth.
"I report to the Star Lord!"
"My brother and I executed the Celestial Decree to call forth that independent cultivator. Little did we expect this individual to be so wildly overbearing? Backed by his impressive cultivation level, he launched a surprise attack and slew my elder brother! I myself forfeited an arm!"
"Without instantly activating a forbidden technique, I couldn't have escaped back to the Divine Hall!"
"This fellow is excessively brazen, paying no heed to the honor of our Divine Palace, slaying without restraint! He even proclaimed he would lounge and await the Star Lord's personal arrival! We have botched our mission, tarnishing the Divine Palace's reputation. We implore the Star Lord to discipline us!"
Whoosh!
These declarations ignited chaos across the hall!
The formerly proud Star Envoy had limped back in such a pitiful condition, causing every elder to pale dramatically, their typical poise shattered completely.
A lone wandering cultivator, bold enough to repeatedly strike down Divine Palace members, even claiming a Star Envoy's life, and disrespecting the Star Lord to boot!
Such an event had no precedent!
Though this young man's power might prove formidable, his nerve was utterly limitless!
The whole chamber buzzed with astonishment, dread, and building rage, murmurs of chatter erupting all around.
Just Liu Runan and his son, once the initial surprise faded, sensed a spark of ease in their chests, igniting a subtle, hidden spark of optimism...
Good grief!
That independent cultivator turns out to be this powerful? He even felled a Star Envoy? It's fortunate we held back from acting more decisively earlier.
Yet this kind of reckless hubris seals his total annihilation, spirit and form alike. He can't possibly enter the Divine Palace anymore. In the end, this could work to our advantage!
The Star Lord will no doubt dispatch a direct command to wipe out this rogue!
With these notions in mind, Liu Runan quelled the thrill bubbling within and dipped his head in pretend grief and outrage, silently biding his time.
True to his expectations.
The tone from inside the beaded curtain boomed with a fury unseen in millennia!
"Outrageous!"
"This youth dares to challenge the heavens!"
"Defying this sovereign's Celestial Decree warrants execution! But he goes further, ambushing the Star Envoys of my Fallen Divinity Palace! No matter his cultivation prowess, such a disrespectful idiot has no right to exist in this realm!"
As the furious proclamation resounded, a fearsome presence surged through the sacred hall!
Winds roared fiercely, and crushing force permeated the atmosphere!
Every elder recoiled in terror, heads bowed low, afraid to speak. Even the grand immortal portal, forged from timeless jade, swung wide under this overwhelming force!
When the Divine Palace unleashes its wrath, millions shall perish!
Facing this once-in-history rage, the full Land of Fallen Divinity, nay, the entire Lan Star, would quake in fear. A single wandering cultivator was doomed to turn to dust!
"By this sovereign's Celestial Decree, starting today, the whole Fallen Divinity Palace must rally! Leave no resource unused to pursue and eliminate this individual! At the same time, proclaim an Absolute Kill Decree: whoever slays this person will earn the rank of Inner Elder in our Fallen Divinity Palace!"
The Star Lord's Celestial Decree boomed like thunder, stunning the gathered crowd!
Deploying the complete might of the Fallen Divinity Palace against one lone wandering cultivator already spelled doom. Adding the Absolute Kill Decree ensured no corner of Lan Star would shelter him!
No such order had echoed through the ages!
The Star Lord had been thoroughly incensed, leaving this rogue cultivator without the slightest chance of survival!
The chamber brimmed with awe and terror, hushed like winter's chill.
Liu Runan and his son trembled in fright too, yet deep down, their fears dissolved entirely, giving way to almost gleeful relief.
A golden prospect dangled right in front of him, yet that idiot leaned on his abilities and strutted with arrogance! A fool courting his own end like this was bound to vanish from existence. They could finally stop fretting!
Right then.
Footfalls abruptly sounded from beyond the now-unsealed immortal gate of the hall.
Next, a casual, unknown voice called out.
"No need to bother. I'm already here."
Swish!
All the elders whipped around toward the noise, fixing their gazes on the strange countenance with bewilderment and alarm.
They exchanged looks, eyes brimming only with disbelief.
The Divine Hall represented ultimate sanctity. Only Inner Elders could step inside. How had an outsider materialized here, spouting such weird and bold statements in reply?
Could it be...
As doubts multiplied around the room, Liu Runan's eyes bulged wide!
"It's him...?"
He'd spot Yi Feng's features even reduced to cinders!
He could scarcely believe this man's daring reached such extremes. Not content with slaying Divine Palace elites in succession, he had the gall to barge in personally just as the Star Lord pronounced his edict!
This defies all bounds of audacity!
Liu Runan hastened to alert everyone!
"Star Lord!"
"This villain is that independent cultivator! The Star Envoy, my son, and our fellow associates were all waylaid and slain by him!"
The lone surviving Star Envoy chimed in swiftly, his features contorted with bitterness!
"Star Lord, it's truly this fiend!"
The rapid confirmations jolted the hall into frenzy. Every elder swiveled, eyes popping!
No one had foreseen the true culprit strolling right up to their threshold!
This smacked of supreme insolence!
Even the enigmatic Star Lord bellowed in wrath at that instant!
"Audacious lunatic!"
"You dare invade the Divine Hall? You truly grasp neither heaven's span nor earth's depth! Since you crave death, this sovereign will oblige!"
Under the collective glares of the assembly, Yi Feng strolled leisurely into the grand chamber.
Raising his eyes to the nine-level jade dais, he replied with a grin.
"You're right!"
"I came here today just to court death!"
His statement left the entire hall dumbfounded and mute.
Before reactions could form, overbearing declarations blasted through the space!
"Today, I want to get pummeled to death by everyone here, or pummel all of you to death!"
“But I'm naturally modest at heart. I can let you all take the first swings. If you fail to finish me off, then I'll have to end you instead. So, everyone, unleash everything you've got, or risk dying pointlessly.”
The relaxed delivery dripped with taunt, like confronting mere pests.
This was the Hall of Fallen Divinity!
Not even mighty forces famous across Lan Star would dare show irreverence here, much less spew such presumptuous boasts. He was plainly wagering his life to mock these exalted figures!
He's insane.
Utterly deranged!
No matter the source of this man's assurance, the on-site elders seethed with indignation!
"Wretch!"
"You impudent brat!"
This elder has wandered for millennia—how can I stomach such shame!
"Unless we pulverize your remains to powder, our Divine Palace's dignity crumbles!"
The veterans fumed, their whiskers and locks whipping about as Great Dao energies clashed wildly in the air!
Observing the lethal spectacle amid the barrage of insults and yells, a spark of excitement finally lit Yi Feng's gaze. He realized he'd picked the perfect spot this time, regretting only that he hadn't stormed in sooner!
Today, let's clash until one side falls!
