I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1348: Crackdown

Their gazes locked for merely a few moments.

Lu Benwei's grin widened further, as though he'd caught wind of something hilarious. Disdain slowly surfaced on his expression, and he let out an exasperated eye roll before he finally spoke.

"Sigh."

"You worthless scum. You were nothing but trash back then, and to me now, you're still the same insignificant garbage. Halting a pathetic creature like you requires zero effort from me, even in this skeletal form!"

His commanding tone echoed with indifference. Lu Benwei hovered silently in the sky, exuding the same unmatched aura from his glory days.

Gazing at that unbeatable stance.

Even White Pupil, concealed in the cosmic shadows, found himself lost in a daze. After several moments, he snapped back and burst into laughter, growing bolder and more haughty!

"Heh heh heh..."

"Who would've thought the God of Eternal Calamity, once supreme over every realm, would end up like this—a mere skeleton left behind. Besides your talent for empty threats, you've lost all your old power. It really fills me with pity."

"If you actually had that kind of power, why bother with the pretense? If you could block me, why hold back from acting?"

"Hmm?"

Right after his words landed, Lu Benwei shook his head without a care.

He offered no words to counter, simply lifting his hand to rip apart the heavens, compelling a small world to emerge. Then, he extended his skeletal fingers and seized the empty space!

"Swoosh!"

Just the whisper of wind followed, as a grotesque, swollen beast was dragged forth and hurled into the emptiness.

Before the hideous white-eyed beast's enormous frame could rise, Lu Benwei pressed down with his foot, pinning it immobile. It was held down right there, its gaze brimming with horror, unleashing only disbelieving shrieks!

"This..."

"In a single instant... Impossible!"

"You've dwindled to bones, yet you wield such frightful might!"

No matter his furious bellows.

Lu Benwei just reached into the void, drew out a lounge chair, and reclined upon it. His apparently tiny form seemed to span beyond the cosmos, suddenly squashing the colossal beast under the chair into oblivion, silencing its wails.

Only its resentful glare peeked through the gaps, showing crimson eyes swollen with boundless hatred!

In that instant, he truly grasped the dread inspired by the God of Eternal Calamity!

Time dragged on.

The small world settled back into calm, as serene and inviting as the starry night before.

Lu Benwei lounged casually on the chair, arms behind his head, eyes half-closed, letting out a yawn.

"Yawn..."

"Quit your yelling. I'll grant you've improved a smidgen, and you've bulked up somewhat. You count as a minor nuisance now, forcing me to personally recline here and hold you down."

"That should satisfy you, huh?"

Underfoot, White Pupil's huge eye quivered faintly, shame and rage nearly bursting forth.

Yet.

Bearing that indescribable, horrifying force, even uttering a noise proved nearly impossible for him. He dared not protest anymore. Despite his deep reluctance, he could only clench his teeth and stay mute.

He'd only shouted a handful of times before giving up entirely.

How incredibly tedious.

Lying there, Lu Benwei grew restless and couldn't resist sighing aloud.

"Sigh."

"You foolish kid, why pull off such a showy display? I preferred your cocky attitude earlier. Now it's all spoiled, leaving me bored stiff while I lounge here suppressing you. You've gone and messed things up for us both."

"I'm the universe's finest-looking fellow. Wasting time with a brat like you is a total drag. It'd be nice if a beauty showed up to chat with me..."

As he muttered.

Lu Benwei gradually lifted his gaze, piercing the void anew to contemplate the stellar expanse.

In the heart of the boundless cosmos.

That absolute blackness started unveiling its reality.

Towering, strange structures rose like celestial spires, all enveloped in a chilling, ominous gloom. Amid the infinite dark, the clustered edifices resembled sprouting bamboo or timeless monoliths. Time's marks barely touched them, their age spanning countless eras untold.

Only fearsome demon kinds roamed and shimmered inside, ruling this vast shadowed domain. They blended seamlessly with the emptiness, enduring eternally to this very day.

The demonic beings scattered about radiated an intensely alarming presence, surpassing any fiends lurking on distant worlds. Their cultivation ran deep, and they displayed remarkable discipline, their cunning ascending to a profoundly alarming degree.

With a quick glance around.

This concealed emptiness cloaked in shadow appeared as the origin of all malice, endlessly spawning horrifying entities. It let the gloom flourish unchecked in hidden spots, consuming radiance across infinite ages, forever clashing and balancing against it.

At the core of the shadows.

A colossal, endless pagoda loomed, linking the skies and lands of this domain. It overlooked the entire blackness and monitored every demon clan's stirrings.

Inside the lofty pagoda, the chambers emitted a stifling, icy chill.

Myriad demons lined up silently on either side, including leaders from diverse clans. There were cyclopean dwarf demons, dual-faced titans reaching hundreds of feet, and human-like succubi. Their powers delved into unfathomable depths.

Regardless of their lineage, they all lowered their heads in reverence now. Even with almost ten thousand assembled, they filled just a fraction of this vast chamber shrouded in night.

On the obsidian seat.

Boundless gloom kept converging, revealing solely a duo of scarlet eyes.

The crimson eyes parted, and the myriad demons prostrated.

"Call forth Demoness Chi Li for an audience."

The icy command resounded, prompting the myriad to kowtow.

A shadowy sedan emerged beyond the chamber's entrance, veiled in haze. A few domineering demons in crimson helms bore it aloft. Without a stir, they advanced through the dark and faded away.

When they resurfaced, they'd reached the Demoness's abode.

Though the splendid chamber was utterly black, it gleamed with refinement. Crafted like a sculpted tower, its upturned roofs bore crimson chimes, infusing the majestic gloom with a perilous, seductive vibe.

Demoness Chi Li, clad in ebony garb, stood poised before the entrance. Her measured strides carried utmost grace, and her attire was finely wrought. Its daring openings traced her flawless form, glimpses of pale skin teasing through. She radiated a frosty essence that repelled all from afar.

This peerless demon clan sovereign held a rank and aptitude unmatched in history. At her arrival, the hulking bearers promptly bowed low and awaited in silence, showing no hint of irreverence.

Only as Chi Li gracefully ascended the sedan with her lithe legs did the titans hoist it firmly and depart.

Gliding on dark vapors and traversing the skies, they covered vast distances instantly. The ebony conveyance projected immense authority, prompting numerous demons to gaze upward in awe and wonder.

Abruptly!

A skeletal claw ripped the void asunder and descended. Vast as the relic of a colossus, it charged directly at the dark sedan and seized Demoness Chi Li before the eyes of countless fiends!

Terror gripped the demons at once, forgetting even to savor the captivating disarray of the airborne Demoness!

"How daring!"

"What divine force dares seize our demon clan's Demoness captive!"

In the mere flash of an eye.

Witnessing the enormous bony grip abduct the Demoness and breach the void to depart, as casually as plucking an item from a pouch, the whole demon kind reeled in shock. This profound disgrace rippled across the shadowed expanse!

The sedan-bearing giants felt it closest and sensed the claw's horror most acutely. Overwhelmed by alarm and haste, they rushed back to the demon clan's sacred tower to inform.

In the immense chamber.

Four towering giants, each tens of feet high, groveled in fear. They appeared ant-sized in this space, yet their quaking reports echoed through the vast hall, igniting the demon throng's rage!

"Reporting to Your Excellency!"

"A catastrophe has struck! Moments ago, a massive skeletal hand burst through the void, kidnapped the Demoness en route, and vanished into the ether. Her location remains unknown. We were utterly helpless to intervene—please pardon us, Your Excellency!"

With those words, furious growls surged from the assembled demons in the grand chamber!

"What?!"

"Daring to kidnap our clan's demoness—what brazen nerve!"

"Who can say what powerhouse this is, ripping voids to invade our demon lands. Such insolence suggests malicious purpose!"

"Is this an attempt to ignite war with our demon kind?!"

"We don't even know the attacker. Declaring war would leave us directionless. These craven foes are vile indeed. The urgent task is revealing the invader's true face!"

After hushed murmurs, the demons all knelt toward the throne!

"Grant us your judgment, My Lord!"

The shadowed chamber fell into utter hush, as a never-before-seen rage quietly built and expanded.

A pair of scarlet eyes gradually unveiled themselves on the throne, gleaming with savage murderous aura!

"Our demon kind has slumbered too peacefully. It appears the outer worlds have nearly erased our fearsome reputation."

"This affronts our demon race outright. Be it then or now, such insolence demands no quarter. No matter the intruder's nature, even if we must ravage every heaven, we'll seize them!"

"This offender will suffer total annihilation of flesh and spirit!!!"

A horrifying aura flooded the dark chamber, as an age-old fury resurfaced in the realm!

Though the congregated demons were elite destroyers of stars, they cowered now. A galaxy-shattering slaughter loomed!

At the same time.

In some obscure lesser realm, Demoness Chi Li rose unsteadily. She adjusted her tousled black gown, hiding her statuesque silhouette, her cheeks burning with fury and humiliation.

Spotting the silent little skeleton seated nearby, she haughtily scolded with supreme disdain!

"You insolent wretch!"

"Who are you to kidnap this demoness? Have you no clue that when my demon race's fury erupts, the vast cosmos will run red with blood!?"
