I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1415: Ignorance is Bliss
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Boom!
The ground-shattering detonation echoed, its shockwave surging horizontally towards the distant horizon.
In mere moments, the Thousand Mountains Fierce Realm was utterly flattened. Tens of thousands of miles of land turned to scorched earth, smoking as the residual energy spread outward like an apocalyptic deluge, engulfing all in its path.
High above, Lei Qianjue observed with a visage contorted in dread.
Phew...
That was an incredibly close call!
This madman is far too terrifying. He actually detonated himself without hesitation. Had I not swiftly employed my lightning arts to clear the void, I would have undoubtedly faced disaster!
After exhaling a long breath, still gripped by lingering fear.
Lei Qianjue swiped the cold sweat from his brow, his gaze flickering with apprehension and bewilderment.
How could such a lunatic exist on Planet Yun in this era? I cannot even perceive his cultivation base, and he displays no fear of death. It defies all logic. Could he have truly plunged into the demonic path and acquired some sort of abhorrent power?
However, demons and heretics cannot endure indefinitely. Regardless of his ruthlessness, I have emerged completely unscathed! This individual must be the ultimate architect of this chaos. With his demise, I shall face no further rivals on Planet Yun, and the entire galaxy will undoubtedly fall under my dominion.
Hahaha...
As his composure gradually returned, Lei Qianjue erupted into hearty laughter.
Gazing down upon the desolate landscape, a profound sense of joy at surviving such a catastrophe washed over him.
Precisely at that critical juncture.
The dismembered limbs and mangled flesh scattered across the ground began to stir, coalescing as if animated by an independent will. In an instant, they reformed into a human shape, causing Lei Qianjue’s eyes to widen in shock!
This...
Before he could even process the event, Hong Fengkuang, who had moments before been reduced to mere fragments, had already regenerated his body and was gazing upwards with a mocking smirk.
Yo?
You old coot, you sure ran fast. Well, it’s rare to get such an opportunity, so allow me to properly showcase an even more advanced technique!
Witnessing this astonishing spectacle, Lei Qianjue’s pupils contracted in sheer disbelief!
He had clearly just detonated himself, yet in the blink of an eye, he had reconstituted himself completely, as if the event had never occurred.
How is this even possible!
The sights and sounds he was experiencing defied all comprehension, leaving Lei Qianjue suspended in mid-air, his expression frozen in astonishment.
Before he could even utter a word, he saw Hong Fengkuang hurtling towards him, rapidly forming hand seals while shouting emphatically!
Hah!
The same horrifying scene unfolded yet again, startling Lei Qianjue so profoundly that he let out a curse!
Damn it!
Again?!
Stunned once more!
He had never conceived that his opponent could actually resurrect, let alone prepare to repeat the suicidal act. This was unmistakably a fight waged with utter disregard for life. Such a preposterous tactic indicated he was far from human!
Even the Demon Race wouldn't be this deranged!
What kind of monstrous entity was this!
Observing the blinding radiance erupting in the heavens.
Lei Qianjue's countenance shifted dramatically in sheer terror. Forgetting to utter even another curse, he instantly turned and fled once more!
Boom!
Boom!
A succession of deafening sonic booms ripped through the sky as Lei Qianjue streaked away without pause.
The mere act of employing secret arts for his escape had significantly depleted his cultivation. Noticing he was nearly gasping for breath, the maniacal laughter from behind continued its relentless pursuit.
Take a good look at my ultimate technique, hahaha!
The sound of the laughter sent an icy chill coursing down Lei Qianjue's spine!
Despite having traversed eons, boasting of his supreme cultivation, and possessing innate divine abilities to support him, he was rendered utterly helpless against this self-immolating lunatic. The frustration was overwhelming.
The fiend simply appeared, detonated himself, and continued to do so incessantly, as if possessing an inexhaustible supply of lives. How was he possibly expected to contend with such a foe!
What title of Star Lord, what glory in overseeing the grand celestial designs.
None of it held any significance anymore...
Survival was the sole, paramount objective!
And so it went.
He fled, and his pursuer followed.
Across the vast expanse of the starry sky, all hope finally began to dwindle.
Gazing upon the star-sea, littered with debris resembling cosmic dust, Lei Qianjue felt a paralyzing mixture of terror and exhaustion, the faintest glimmer of escape extinguished.
Overwhelmed by utter despair.
He finally collapsed to his knees amidst the stars and began to weep uncontrollably!
Stop this pursuit, cease chasing me!
I admit I was wrong, is that sufficient! If you only spare my life, I will obey your every command!
This one-sided chase finally reached its conclusion.
While Lei Qianjue was incapable of mounting any resistance, the successive earth-shattering detonations were potent enough to attract the attention of other ancient, slumbering cultivators, stirring waves of shock and conjecture amongst them.
Within the Arctic Ice Plains.
Liu Tiannan, adorned in a flowing black robe, materialized in the sky, his expression etched with confusion.
How could such a terrifying display of power be resonating through the cosmos?
A disturbance seems to originate from the Thousand Mountains Fierce Realm. Could it be that ancient cultivator Lei Qianjue has finally emerged from his long seclusion?
As these thoughts crossed Liu Tiannan's mind, his expression grew somber.
Not long ago, Lei Qianjue had approached him about a significant endeavor, even betraying the location of his hidden realm as a testament to his earnestness. However, due to the apprehension caused by Jiang Yuan's presence, Liu Tiannan had hesitated to give his full agreement.
He had been planning to discreetly assess the progress of Jiang Yuan's Qi cultivation recovery.
To his surprise, that impetuous brute Lei Qianjue had apparently revealed himself to the world already, causing such a tremendous uproar. Would this not risk awakening Jiang Yuan and jeopardizing their grand design?
Truly too hasty to achieve anything of consequence!
Just as resentment began to brew within him, the ice plains below shimmered as ripples formed in the void.
A young man, unfamiliar to him, emerged. He brandished a longsword, emanating an aura of pure righteousness. At first glance, he was undeniably handsome, possessing an extraordinary presence that marked him as a truly exceptional rising talent.
Noticing the newcomer, Liu Tiannan descended slowly, his voice a soft inquiry.
Who are you, young one? What brings you to the frigid expanse of the Arctic Ice Plains?
As soon as the question left his lips, the other party offered a respectful fist-and-palm salute.
My name is Li Jin. I have come with a sole purpose: to issue a warning. I implore you not to interfere with the future trajectory of Planet Yun, lest you face the repercussions.
Upon hearing these words, Liu Tiannan's eyes narrowed.
He had initially harbored a degree of admiration for the youth, which was why he had overlooked the transgression of trespassing into his secret realm. He had certainly not anticipated such an arrogant demeanor and disrespectful declaration.
What an ignorant and presumptuous junior!
A slight frown creased Liu Tiannan's brow as he responded with a deep, cold voice, shedding much of the magnanimous facade he had previously adopted.
Interfere with the grand scheme of Planet Yun?
When I was traversing the vast sea of stars, your ancestors were not even a speck of dust. How dare you, a mere junior, display such insolence!
As he berated the young man, a sudden thought occurred to him.
His gaze sharpened as he probed with a voice laced with suspicion!
Interfere...
Could it be that you are an associate of that demonic cultivator from earlier?!
Perceiving the other party's unyielding stance.
Li Jin found further discourse futile. He lowered his hands slowly, delivering a final, unequivocal ultimatum.
These matters are absolutely beyond your purview to meddle with.
Persist in your ignorance, and do not hold me accountable for any impoliteness.
As Li Jin's words concluded, Liu Tiannan erupted into hearty laughter, as though he had stumbled upon a ludicrous jest.
We are not permitted to interfere?
Hahaha, what a preposterous notion! Since the day I abandoned the Demonic Path, never have I encountered such audacious words. You juniors, truly fearless in your ignorance, are utterly laughable!
With his declaration, Liu Tiannan's imposing presence surged outward.
An immense pressure washed over the heavens, yet it seemed incapable of affecting the young man in the slightest!
Liu Tiannan's expression shifted, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.
He had not anticipated that anyone on the current Planet Yun could withstand the pressure of his true form. It suggested that the youth's cultivation was at least at the Initial Dharma Stage of the Desolate Realm, and perhaps he had even awakened the nascent form of a divine ability. This was indeed quite peculiar!
However, this alone was insufficient to cause him undue alarm.
Recognizing the youth's unusual capabilities, Liu Tiannan slowly withdrew his right hand from behind his back.
It is no wonder you possess such arrogance; your innate talent is indeed remarkable!
Alas, relying solely on such talent, you are still unqualified to contend with me. I have existed for countless eons, and my divine abilities are on the verge of complete mastery. A strike from me with both palms is certainly not something you can endure!
"Regardless of your exceptional innate talent, you have yet to reach full maturity. You are still too inexperienced. Since you tread the path of wickedness, I cannot permit you to live!"
With these pronouncements, Liu Tiannan unleashed his full power.
"Frozen Heaven and Earth!"
He thrust both palms forward. Behind him, a colossal ten-thousand-foot phantom materialized, a divine entity descending to mirror his actions and unleash a palm strike of its own!
In that very instant.
An unending snowstorm surged forth from Liu Tiannan's rear. All in its path was instantly transformed into ice crystals, shrouding the world in a blanket of white. Frost even began to form in the sky, freezing the very clouds solid!
True to its name, this divine ability's overwhelming might was capable of sealing both heaven and earth!
Witnessing the imminent engulfment by this boundless ice and snow, Li Jin found himself with no alternative. He swiftly drew his sword and executed a downward slash towards his formidable opponent!
Swish!
A subtle sound echoed, immediately swallowed by the immense worldly pressure. The noise was almost imperceptible, and the sword strike itself appeared entirely ordinary. However, in the very next instant, Liu Tiannan's palms moved without his control, catching the blade. Simultaneously, his entire body inexplicably sank to its knees before his adversary. Thud! With a heavy thud, his knees broke through the layer of ice beneath him. It gave the appearance of a magnificent, formal bow, one brimming with profound sincerity. As he knelt so abruptly, Liu Tiannan's palms stayed firmly grasping the massive sword. The divine ability he had been invoking ceased instantly, and the fearsome pressure from mere moments before vanished without a trace. Suddenly, an unsettling silence descended upon the scene. I've tested positive for COVID and feel like I'm on my last legs. Everyone, please be cautious. Wishing you all safety.
