I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1384: Arrival of the Star Lord

A cluster of shadowy figures showered him with nonstop flattery, while the foremost shadow refused to lag behind, unleashing a flood of admiring words.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"By seizing the title of that Star Lord, we can not only lure him from his hideout but also leverage the human powers to emerge on the scene and dominate this galaxy! Across our whole race, scarcely anyone could devise such a clever scheme that achieves two goals at once. Your Excellency's brilliance truly surpasses us all!"

Following this smooth-talking praise, the fearsome Excellency's rage seemed to ease a bit. The nearby snowstorm softened somewhat, and his tone grew noticeably milder.

"Enough talk."

"Disperse at once, all of you, and broadcast the Star Lord's name across the entire Cloud Star!"

The shadowy figures bowed promptly and scattered in every direction like wisps of smoke.

Yet the leader hesitated, lingering with fists cupped in salute, appearing eager to speak but holding back.

The intimidating presence spotted this oddity right away. He turned slowly, unveiling a strikingly handsome human visage. Gloom filled his eyes, and his first words carried crushing authority.

"You—what else?"

Though he hadn't unleashed his aura on purpose, the sheer dread of his being made the shadow nod frantically. Still, something gnawed at it. After repeated pauses, it clenched its teeth, saluted with cupped fists, and responded.

"Lord Long Tian."

"Pardon my boldness, but have we located the Divine Maiden yet? Our race has wandered the cosmos for countless eras, only for the Divine Maiden to be snatched away. This is an utter disgrace..."

These words instantly chilled that handsome face. His brows furrowed, erasing any goodwill from the earlier flattery in a flash.

"I've found no trace of the Divine Maiden either."

"This issue is far from straightforward, and you're nowhere near qualified to question it!"

"Our key task now is hunting down that concealed Star Lord and slaying him. Success here lets us seize Cloud Star and claim the whole galaxy. During such a monumental scheme, how dare we divide our focus even a little?"

"If the tiniest slip-up jeopardizes our race's grand design, could you shoulder that blame?"

Invoking the race's overarching fate, his dominating pressure blanketed everything under the heavens!

How could the leftover shadow utter another syllable?

It bowed low in haste, saluted deeply, then dissolved into dark fog and vanished afar.

"Your Excellency speaks true!"

"I'll take my team to spread the word immediately!"

Watching his underling depart compliantly, the handsome Long Tian gave a cold snort and flicked his sleeve. With scorn, he spun away, ripped open the void, and strode inside without a waver.

One more step.

Now he hovered above a vast sandy expanse riddled with wild void streams!

Gazing far off for ages, suspicion flickered in Long Tian's eyes.

"Odd..."

"This spot marks Cloud Star's spatial weak point. Normally, it breeds hordes of Void Beasts. So why so few signs of them? Cloud Star's cultivators must have real skill. That's surprising."

"It confirms Cloud Star lives up to its role as this galaxy's frontier. Those cultivators prove useful. No doubt, the humans behind this are those distant auras..."

As he murmured.

A faint smirk tugged at Long Tian's lips, interest gleaming in his gaze. He sauntered through the air, each stride covering a thousand miles.

...

Far inside the boundless sand ocean.

A handful of figures advanced steadily, headed by Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei, who meticulously checked the sealed space cracks. Only after finishing the standard patrol did the group exhale in minor relief.

In the brief pause, all gazes shifted to martial brothers Zui Wuya and Wei Donghai.

They crowded in one by one, grins friendly on their faces.

"Brother Zui, show us that divine sword again."

"Yeah, after all these years as pals, what's wrong with a quick peek?"

But Zui Wuya stayed utterly unmoved. Arms folded across his chest, he struck a lofty pose.

"Friends."

"I've mastered the Dao of Sword. My blade is my lifeblood, dearer than any Dao companion. How could I casually reveal it?"

His words drew twitches at everyone's lips.

Even a sly veteran like Fu Nantian fumed inwardly!

This Zui Wuya, whatever stroke of fortune snagged him a divine sword, now strutted like this. Holding that stance forever, yet claiming mastery of the Dao of Sword?

Back then, he couldn't last ten exchanges against Brother Luo, his sword skills mediocre at best. Now bragging expertise? Pure gall.

Moreover.

How could a sword outrank a woman? What did this fool understand!

Fu Nantian ground his teeth, his Dao heart nearly shattering.

Still, with a divine sword on their side, things had changed. Beyond choking envy, he could only pivot, sidling nearer to Wei Donghai.

"Ahem..."

"Brother Wei, don't be as tight-fisted as your senior brother. Let us glimpse your divine sword!"

The group pressed in with eager smiles. Even Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei yearned for a view.

"Brother Wei, I swear here—we'll look but not touch!"

With pressure mounting, Wei Donghai wavered. Seeing Brother Luo chime in, he couldn't dismiss them outright.

"Uh..."

"Fine, just one peek. We said one peek only!"

His words bared his miserly side completely.

Before, they'd at least let touches; now mere glances, barely enough to discern details. These brothers' cheapness knew no bounds.

Dark veins pulsed on foreheads all around, but eager for another sword sighting, they shrugged off complaints. Smiles wide, they surged forward expectantly.

"Great, great, great!"

"One look, that's it!"

As anticipation peaked, Wei Donghai prepared to draw the divine sword.

Suddenly!

A horrifying pressure crashed from above, shaking the whole sand sea!

"Boom!!!"

A savage aura eclipsed the heavens, warping the void like raging ocean swells!

In a flash.

Faces paled across the board, Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei snapping his gaze skyward, fists balled tight!

"Trouble!"

"A monstrous being has arrived!"

His yell jolted everyone into tense upward stares. Misc thoughts vanished; faces hardened gravely. Zui Wuya and Wei Donghai sensed crushing weight!

Solemnly scanning the skies for breaths.

They watched it shudder and boil. The fragile space warped fully now. Heaven and earth's force stirred, nearby seals starting to fray!

To wield such might unseen, this entity stunned all into cold sweats!

Nearly at once.

Ice gripped every heart!

Whatever dreadful Void Beast loomed, they knew it overwhelmed them utterly. The Cloud Star border they'd guarded so fiercely faced total ruin today!

The crushing pressure kept falling, freezing all in terror.

Though Zui Wuya and Wei Donghai clutched divine swords, courage failed them now. Pre-battle dread rooted deep—an innate horror, despair akin to ants before a colossus!

As void seals kept unraveling, stray energies seeped free. World-ending doom loomed...

The instant after.

Heavenly disturbances halted abruptly, space twists faded to nothing. The endless dread converged toward the edge, the roiling sands calming once more!

Even Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei gaped in disbelief, like beholding a divine wonder!

The rest stood petrified, eyes bulging in shock.

What happened?

Cataclysm had loomed inevitable, poised to turn Cloud Star into hellscape. Yet skies cleared bright in a heartbeat?!

Before reactions formed.

Skyborne power swirled into a maelstrom, unveiling a aloof white-robed figure, pure as jade. His form radiated unfathomable terror, like a deity gracing the world.

The man uttered gently, his voice booming across creation.

"I am Long Tian, the Star Lord of the Cloud Star."

His mild words hit their ears, exploding minds with utter astonishment!
