I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1354: The Power of the Non-Human

Xu Rong hadn’t yet managed to make out the horrifying shifts occurring nearby.

The corridor, once warped and twisted, had now sunk into total blackness. Silence enveloped the tight confines; solely she and Wu Tao caught the dim sparkle in one another’s gazes.

Xu Rong stood frozen in fear.

Right then, an inexplicable dread gripped her, leaving her incapable of even instinctive resistance. All that unfolded before her utterly defied her understanding!

In complete hopelessness, her panicked eyes fixed solely on Wu Tao!

"What in the world is happening?!"

Yet Wu Tao stayed utterly composed, lightly providing some reassurance.

"Shh..."

"Stay quiet. It’ll pass soon."

This scenario, which would horrify regular folks, posed merely a small nuisance to him.

Lifting his gaze gradually, a trace of mischievous amusement flickered in Wu Tao’s eyes.

"You’re quite the hider."

"I’ve been waiting ages for you. Ready to reveal yourself at last?"

His gentle murmur resounded, carrying an overwhelming, commanding presence.

Xu Rong watched in stunned silence as she heard this. The man in front of her seemed to have transformed dramatically in presence. It felt like an incomprehensible, chilling energy was quietly emanating, both strange and intimidating!

After Wu Tao posed his query.

The narrow enclosure gave no spoken response. Instead, it unleashed dreadful rays of light hurtling at them from every angle!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

These beams shone like shooting stars and struck with the speed of crashing lightning. In mere moments, they wove a net around the pair, nearly sealing them off entirely. Contact with them promised unimaginable devastation!

In that instant.

Color fled from Xu Rong’s features. The premonition of doom robbed her of any will to stir. She had no clue how to evade this disaster; the spectacle before her had utterly demolished her perception of reality!

What sort of realm was this?!

And those beams of light—what monstrous force did they wield?!

Bombarded by one jolt after another, this top prodigy from Pingjiang City suddenly felt as insignificant as an insect, powerless to fight back and merely awaiting her fate!

Wu Tao, though, kept his composure intact.

Confronted by the barrage of light pillars aimed his way, his eyes showed only a casual, drowsy ease.

"Petty illusions."

With a soft flick of his wrist, he scattered the infinite radiance into wisps of vapor!

Turning his palm and pushing lightly, he drew the light back into existence. From the receding shadows emerged a pained groan!

"Ugh..."

As the darkness began to fade, the culprit behind it all tried to escape!

A fierce spark ignited in Wu Tao’s gaze, and he prepared to pursue.

But then, unexpectedly.

The ashen-faced Xu Rong, overwhelmed by the residual strain, slumped weakly against his arm. In that brief lapse, the shadowy form slipped away entirely.

Gazing at the captain’s pallid, boneless form, Wu Tao let out a resigned breath.

"Sigh, far too fragile..."

He murmured to her gently several times, yet she lay still.

With no other option, he channeled a mere sliver of his cultivation, tapped his foot delicately, seized the woman, and ripped through the void to depart.

Soon enough, they touched down on an islet amid vast, boundless waters.

A soft wind blew, sunlight beamed warmly, and the atmosphere felt invigorating.

Xu Rong’s eyelids fluttered open at last.

She rose feebly, her expression still dazed. Upon taking in the rolling seas and clusters of palm trees ahead, she nearly turned to stone. Fresh off the prior terror, her thoughts reeled from an even greater blow!

"This..."

"This."

"This!"

After wrestling with it for ages, she couldn’t squeeze out another syllable!

Time slipped by unnoticed.

The stunningly lovely captain appeared to accept the vista at last. She stole a covert look at Wu Tao, who lounged idly nearby, her visage etched with astonishment. Though countless queries swirled in her mind, not one escaped her lips right then.

The once unkempt, idle loafer’s features now radiated enigma and dominance, distant as a legend from antiquity.

With a tender grin, his remark halted her flood of uncertainties.

"So, does that question from before still matter to you?"

This time, Xu Rong offered no words.

Beholding his sunlit countenance, it resembled a deity’s visage. Profound awe and veneration welled endlessly in her eyes’ depths.

All her questions dissolved into a dazed agreement.

The formerly poised and ravishing captain now mirrored a bewildered child, utterly consumed by amazement!

Observing her daft look.

Wu Tao felt no surprise, nor did he add needless chatter.

After all.

He had surpassed mortals and the cosmos long ago. How could such a being be grasped by common folk?

In kindness, he gave a casual directive.

"Stay put for now."

"I’ll take you home once I’m done."

Xu Rong remained utterly stupefied and merely nodded submissively.

With no further interruptions, Wu Tao concentrated, lifted his sight to the clear heavens, rose steadily, and issued his call!

"Will you emerge on your own, or must I pull you out?"

His tone wasn’t forceful, yet it persisted undiminished, penetrating deep into the skies. It whispered as if beside the listener, audible in every nook!

Still, minutes ticked by, and the quiet isle heard no reply.

At length.

Wu Tao’s tolerance waned, and he stamped down on the sand!

That single stamp.

The shore showed no stir, no deep rumble. It appeared as feeble as a toddler’s tread, leaving the whole isle bathed in light and breeze unchanged.

Yet the instant after!

The coastal waters reversed their flow dramatically. The tidal surge built to multiples of its prior force, rocketing upward scores of feet in a flash!

This wondrous phenomenon encircled the full perimeter of the island!

Titanic swells pulled seaward. As if the isle birthed an unfathomable, dread force that pulsed outward in waves!

Each successive swell towered higher, the quakes unrelenting!

Within mere breaths.

The returning surges had soared to hundreds of feet, racing across the infinite ocean. They loomed plain even at the far skyline!

Aerial birds struggled against those nightmarish crests. Gales roared, heavens roiled, and the firmament shifted hues!

"Boom!!!"

A thunderous roar eclipsing any tidal cataclysm boomed across the realms. The colossal, sky-engulfing billows could drown all in their path!

Viewing this spectacle.

The rigidly posed Xu Rong sat slack-jawed, doubting her senses!

She couldn’t fathom the sheer might at play. A presence capable of remolding the skies and lands stood mere steps away. Today’s revelations eclipsed any mortal grasp!

Such might lay beyond human bounds!

What manner of entity was this man?

As Xu Rong sank deeper into awe, the surges kept rolling and expanding. Their ascent showed no halt, rippling to distant shores and slamming into coasts!

The whole globe quaked in a never-before-seen upheaval!
