I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1306: Demon Clans Old Monster

Overwhelming power...
This individual possesses sheer dominance!
Grabbed effortlessly by one hand, it couldn't even cause the tiniest disturbance in the opponent's eyes. The disparity in their power levels was utterly inconceivable.
Such a formidable entity surpassed every human cultivator he had ever faced by an enormous margin.
From sheer fright, to utter astonishment, and at last to humbly gazing in reverence.
The whole ordeal spanned just a handful of breaths, completely demolishing this beast's accumulated wisdom and experiences over tens of thousands of years, erasing every shred of its former arrogance. Presently, it resembled a punctured balloon filled with despair, a shift as profound as the divide between sky and soil.
Observing its subdued demeanor now, Yi Feng's gaze remained utterly unmoved.
Encounters like this were entirely commonplace.
He had foreseen such an outcome long ago.
Even if this area appeared perilous, stumbling upon the ultimate adversary so soon was out of the question. Were it that simple to cross paths with mighty foes, his repeated attempts at courting death wouldn't have ended in failure so often.Sigh...
Existence is truly harsh.
With any luck, this attempt will finally allow him to embrace death.
A trace of solitude, pristine as fresh snow, flashed across Yi Feng's eyes while he examined the withered diminutive creature.
"What exactly are you, and what's happening in this location?"
That detached stare, serene as though beholding an insignificant insect, combined with the nonchalant, completely unafraid voice, flawlessly captured the aura of an unmatched expert!
This went beyond merely striking a metal slab—it was akin to colliding with an unbreakable diamond fortress!
Terror gripped the monster so fiercely that sweat cascaded like a downpour!
Daring not to show even a hint of arrogance, it promptly quivered and forced a servile grin!
"G-great one!"
"This humble servant is Lin Kui, from the demon race."
"Regarding this domain, it was constructed by the cultivators of Fengxue Island to confine and seal various captured fiends and beasts. Apart from demons like myself, it houses banished human cultivators, savage ancient beasts, and horrifying demons."
"For countless years, we've been trapped by arrays, our vital energies fading away. In order to endure, we must battle and slaughter one another, vying for scraps of life force..."
"This lowly one had no idea of your noble presence. My previous deeds stemmed from a desperate hunger to live. I implore your pardon, great one..."
This being displayed remarkable awareness. Through a handful of concise remarks, it provided thorough details and appended a request for clemency. It exemplified perfect deference, cunning almost to the verge of spiritual awakening.
Yi Feng offered a faint nod and pressed on with the essential inquiries.
"From your words, it sounds like truly formidable entities lurk within. What rank does your power hold in this Prison of Demon Suppression?"
The withered creature bobbed its head vigorously, kowtowing without pause!
"Your wisdom runs deep, great one! Incredibly deep!"
"The Prison of Demon Suppression contains numerous awe-inspiring powers, including demons and devils alike. The most fearsome ancient horrors wield cultivations so horrifying they disdain expending effort on trivial life force. For eons, they've lurked in the profound depths, guarding their personal domains!"
"This servant's abilities are trivial at best. I can merely scrap for life force on the fringes. It was a last-resort gamble that caused me to offend you, great one. Please forgive me..."
"My pitiful prowess amounts to nothing more than an insect in the Prison of Demon Suppression. I support an eighty-thousand-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I plead with you, great one, to grant mercy and let this pathetic life go free!"
Though the account was comprehensive, the absurd additions at the close drew a crease on Yi Feng's brow.
This puny beast was quite the schemer...
In its bid to preserve itself, it spouted whatever came to mind, abandoning all dignity. As a being so drained of vitality, how could it possibly have a three-year-old offspring?
Yi Feng wasn't naive; he refused to be so readily fooled.
After a short pause for thought, he concluded that the initial portion of the tale rang true. Dismissing the trailing appeals for pity, he probed further with a grave expression.
"So, you're claiming dreadful demons and devils dwell in the core depths. Who holds the pinnacle of power, and where might that be?"
The moment those words escaped, the withered little beast shuddered violently in alarm!
Good lord...
What could this master's intent be, inquiring straight about the mightiest force?
The creature reeled in fresh astonishment, yet it lacked the luxury to reflect. It hastened to reply amid its fear.
"The supreme power... undoubtedly belongs to the devils!"
"Devils emerge inherently savage and voracious, perpetually consuming fellow creatures. Every faction here shares a silent pact: should a devil emerge for combat, all will band together against it."
"Lest the devils devour us all in the end!"
Over the ages, despite the extermination of countless devils, with just a handful of elder fiends concealed in the abyssal shadows, they continue to instill terror across the Prison of Demon Suppression. The very title 'Prison of Demon Suppression' derives from this origin. From its inception, the site was forged to contain these nightmarish devils.
Following this anxious murmur, the little beast plastered on an obsequious smirk.
"Great one..."
"This lowly one has revealed all I know. I entreat you, considering my heartfelt remorse, to let me live..."
Yi Feng at last nodded approvingly.
"Mm, that's decent."
This domain proved worthy of its reputation. Beyond the fearsome elders of diverse lineages, it harbored the dreaded devils that unified all in terror. His pursuit of demise appeared brimming with potential.
On this occasion, success seemed assured.
Gazing upon the creature's toadying grin, Yi Feng nodded contentedly.
"Rest easy, I have no intention of slaying you."
Though this beast proved useless and offered no genuine peril, allowing it to persist might uncover additional insights, proving far more beneficial than ending it for a negligible gain in experience.
Hearing this, the little beast brimmed with elation, inwardly praising its own shrewdness. Without its sharp instincts, doom would have claimed it this day!
"Gratitude, great one! Endless thanks!"
Yet prior to completing its bows, Yi Feng, eyes fixed on the shadowy trail before them, already sparkled with eager expectation.
"Save your thanks for later."
"Given your extensive knowledge, lead the way swiftly to the devils."
No sooner had the command landed than the little beast's grin solidified on its features. Confronted by Yi Feng's innocuous smile, a bone-chilling dread surged through its frame, as if beholding the raw visage of a devil incarnate.
In that instant!
The little beast's eyes bulged in horror, its pupils quaking uncontrollably!
