I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1394: The Arch-Nemesis of the Demon Clan
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Within less than two hours, Chen Kunpeng had transported Long Tian right to the Yuan Star.
Chen Kunpeng's cultivation base ran extraordinarily deep. Even positioned beyond the star and gazing from afar, he perceived nearly every motion across the Yuan Star. Those threads of black mist couldn't possibly evade his sight.
After scrutinizing for merely a few breaths, a subtle shift appeared on Chen Kunpeng's rotund face, with a gentle smile blooming in his gaze.
"Benefactor."
"With your intent to purge demons and rescue the world, you ought to handle it personally. Bear in mind, wipe out all evil without mercy. Don't let this poor monk's efforts to steer souls toward goodness go to waste."
Just one look sent a shiver racing down Long Tian's back, his lips twitching as he absorbed the words!
Given his sharp mind, he instantly grasped the hidden implication. This individual wasn't just compelling him to act alone but would oversee the whole affair from this spot...
This realization drenched his brow in icy sweat.
He understood full well that with this monk's terrifying abilities, any sign of laziness or deception would spell his doom. In the very next instant, he might get "purified" by the foe!
Either he perished, or his demon kin upon the Yuan Star perished!
There existed no third option whatsoever!
From where had this monk emerged? His cruelty made him seem scarcely human!
Gazing at that insincere grin on the plump visage, Long Tian sensed a bone-chilling cold. Jolted into a tremble, he swiftly discarded every scheming thought.
With matters reached this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and muster a forced, apologetic grin.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Grandmaster speaks the absolute truth. Total eradication of evil marks the righteous way. I'll keep it firmly in mind!"
After offering a smiling bow, Long Tian pivoted toward the Yuan Star.
In scant breaths, the doubt and fear in his eyes gave way to savage determination. Teeth clenched, he hurtled forward!
As the lethal beam of light plunged into the Yuan Star, Chen Kunpeng clasped his palms, the warmth in his eyes intensifying.
"Excellent, excellent."
A solemn Buddhist incantation reverberated across the starry sea, even as bloody fog erupted wildly over the Yuan Star!
These events unfolded with shocking abruptness. Such immensely profound clashes lay far beyond ordinary senses. Not only did the realms of Yuan Star show no response, but even the demon race's stronghold remained oblivious to the news.
Far within the cosmic void, amid utter blackness, a towering spire stood defiantly.
Upon an obsidian throne, the Supreme Venerable commanding the demon race kept his eyes shut, silently absorbing the stream of reports filling the grand hall.
"Your Highness, deployments across all stars proceed as planned. Upon activating Yuan Star, numerous peer stars will submit to our race's dominion!"
"Your Highness, Lord Totem has issued no divine command yet. Shall we delay a few more days?"
"Pardon us, Your Highness. Despite scouring nearby star regions, our three clans uncovered no trace of Divine Maiden Chi Li, nor the culprit's identity. We beg your punishment!"
...
In the hall's heart, several auras of dread knelt in tense silence, faces etched with profound anxiety.
Flanking them stood hundreds of demon commanders, their demeanors grave.
All eyes of reverence converged, awaiting the shadowy throne's occupant to unveil his crimson orbs!
Boom!
As those blood-red eyes snapped open, a crushing pressure stormed the chamber, forcing the prostrate demon lords flatter. The supreme aura of dominance proved utterly unrivaled!
The Supreme Venerable intoned gravely, his timbre like celestial melody piercing their souls.
"Our race has endured in shadows, pouring endless toil into forging today's momentum. The grand scheme overrides all else now. Set aside other concerns for the moment!"
"Press on with hunting the Divine Maiden's location, yet don't overcommit resources. Regardless of the foe's prowess, they must dread our demon race's power and refrain from harming her. Concerning Lord Totem, I shall relay all details myself."
"The pressing priority remains igniting the stellar plan. First, seize Yuan Star. Victory must come in a single blow!"
"What's the status of Yuan Star deployments currently?"
Through these weighty declarations, he set clear directives. Awe swelled further in the demon lords' gazes. The entire demon race brimmed with pride under such a visionary leader.
A wave of battle fervor surged through the hall. Demon lords radiated savage, bloodthirsty auras, eager to unleash the demon race's terror across the cosmos!
As his words concluded, a colossal minotaur demon chief exceeding ten zhang strode forth and bowed deeply!
"Reporting to Your Highness!"
"Yuan Star advances precisely per schedule. Though an unexplained mishap earlier claimed some forces, your servant dispatched ample elites to compensate."
"With my Bull Demon clan in ambush on Yuan Star, and the High Priest overseeing the vicinity, no further mishaps will occur. Control is firmly ours!"
"Awaiting only Your Highness's command, my Bull Demon clan shall assault in full force. Heaven and earth will transform instantly!"
His resonant, thunderous tone blared like a war horn.
Hundreds of demon chiefs quaked, their gazes ablaze with rekindled warlust!
From the throne, the Supreme Venerable appeared reinvigorated, rare approval lighting his eyes!
"Good."
"Your Bull Demon clan lives up to being our race's premier warriors. Swift, capable action without fail—impeccable as ever!"
"With preparations complete, today we shall..."
His stirring speech ignited the assembly, demonic auras swelling to horrifying heights!
At that precise instant.
A figure burst into the hall in haste, quaking as he bowed with clasped hands!
"Your Highness!"
"Dire news!"
The assembly froze at the staff-wielding elder's frantic visage.
This was their race's High Priest.
Though his cultivation wasn't peak, his command of arcane secrets granted immense stature and universal respect among demons. What disaster could unhinge him thus?
The throne's Venerable furrowed his brow faintly, his stare probing.
"What happened?"
His query prompted the High Priest to collapse kneeling, voice quivering!
"A fearsome presence just emerged, annihilating our entire Bull Demon clan on Yuan Star. None survived. The assailant's power overwhelmed, their strike too swift. This old one truly couldn't probe it. When awareness returned, the deed was done..."
"I implore Your Highness's mercy..."
Hiss!
Sharp inhales ripped through the hall.
Yuan Star spearheaded their grand scheme, the Bull Demon ambush concealed masterfully. Discovery shouldn't have come so readily. Yet total slaughter ensued, eluding even the High Priest's scrutiny.
What savage brutality!
Who possessed such prowess?!
In mere breaths, demonic auras ebbed away. Shock and uncertainty filled every gaze. Escalating crises piled on, hinting at a shadowy terror faction stalking the demons relentlessly.
Beside rage, an insidious dread crept in. The grand hall fell into eerie hush.
The enthroned Venerable at last snapped under repeated setbacks. Infernal fires erupted from his scarlet eyes as he smashed the armrest and rose!
"Bastard!"
"Daring to sabotage our race's master plan, I'll uncover this culprit personally!"
As the Venerable surged up and flicked his sleeve, a dark orb emerged from within.
The orb hovered centrally, radiating immense dread. Its abyssal void evoked awe from the demon chiefs, many backing away with faces twisted in oppressive strain!
Frontline behemoths gaped in awe, murmuring lowly.
"The World Annihilation Pearl!"
"Our race's sacred relic. None but a genius like His Highness can wield it!"
"The Oblivion Pearl reverses time, unveiling galactic secrets. No foe escapes Your Lordship's sight!"
"Compelling Your Lordship to deploy the Oblivion Pearl marks this foe extraordinary. Our paramount adversary upon rising. Once unmasked, eradicate without mercy!"
...
After terse whispers.
Killing intent boiled among demons, hundreds of stares locking midair.
The jet-black pearl flared brilliantly. Through swirling darkness, a vivid stellar vista sharpened, swiftly narrowing on Origin Star.
At last, focus settled on a blood-misted mountaintop.
Amid strewn corpses and gore, demon chiefs' eyes turned feral red. A bull-headed titan gripped fists white-knuckled, burning for a deathmatch against this phantom foe, ready to sacrifice all for brethren's vengeance!
The scene pressed onward.
Until a motionless silhouette emerged, hands dripping demon blood, exuding cold ferocity.
This instant.
Demons bulged eyes wide, fixated on the figure. Retributive fires roared in their stares!
The very next moment.
As the refined, elegant form pivoted, those hundreds of vengeful glares petrified, rippling with utter incredulity. The demon hall sank into profound stillness anew.
Even the throne's Venerable Lord gawked in stunned disbelief!
"Long Tian?!"
