I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1434: God of Eternal Calamity
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
The revelation that the Nine Heavens Sword Maiden's master was none other than the Gentleman sent waves of shock through the assembled crowd.
Lei Qianjue and his fellow Daoists now held Master Lu in even higher esteem. Any lingering trace of their earlier disgust vanished completely, replaced by expressions and words conveying absolute reverence.
Furthermore, the powerful cultivators from Yunxing regarded the people from Shadow Island as their superiors. Even Big Juan and Small Juan found themselves the center of attention, surrounded by admirers.
Many once-renowned powerhouses now approached them like devoted fans, offering constant respects and vying for proximity to the Shadow Island contingent. Their demeanor was a blend of fervent enthusiasm and humble deference, creating an incredibly charged atmosphere.
Just as the human forces were caught in this fervent excitement.
Yun Yaoyao had stealthily infiltrated the deepest part of this demon world, now standing silently beside the ominous black spring.
Her delicate hands weaved a complex magic formula, and the very essence of darkness was slowly peeled away. It coalesced into a deep black pearl, shimmering as it floated above her palm.
Gazing at the pure darkness, Yun Yaoyao finally allowed a hint of relief to surface.
"Finally."
"The Heart of the Demon Realm World is also in my possession."Murmuring these words, Yun Yaoyao drew the two long swords she carried and, with a single, decisive slash, severed the black spring!
Instantly.
The overwhelming demonic Qi began to dissipate, and the entire demonic capital gradually revealed itself under the clear sky and earth. A mysterious light emanated from the ruptured black spring, which Yun Yaoyao caught with a raised hand.
"Is this truly the origin of the Demon Realm World?"
After confirming the pure Qi, Yun Yaoyao sheathed her swords, stowed her acquisitions into her jade ring, and vanished from sight.
Not long after.
The human army, now invigorated, commenced the cleanup of the battlefield under Master Lu's command. With Xiong Fen and his son leading the charge, the people of Shadow Island meticulously harvested various demon corpses.
It wasn't until their work badges were completely full, and the father-son duo found themselves unable to carry any more severed limbs and body parts, that they reluctantly ceased their efforts.
The war was unequivocally over, and the few stragglers who had managed to evade capture were no longer a significant threat.
In a secluded, unnoticed corner.
Long Tian, still reeling from the shock of the recent battle, found himself unexpectedly thrust into the position of Demon Venerable. The suddenness of this elevation, coupled with the fulfillment of his long-awaited revenge, eased the burden on his heart. He offered Master Lu his profound respect, pledging his allegiance through a Heavenly Dao oath and committing to unwavering obedience henceforth.
With this, the Demon Race posed no further menace and was firmly relegated to the status of a subordinate race.
This monumental victory felt profoundly satisfying. The sight of the Nine Heavens Sword Maiden's prowess inspired awe in countless cultivators. As the Shadow Island contingent tore through the void to depart, boisterous laughter echoed through the sea of stars.
That laughter, brimming with an unrestrained joy, served as an outlet for generations of grievances held by the human race. Many individuals experienced a significant elevation in their state of mind, with some even showing nascent signs of breakthrough.
Concurrently.
Deep within the boundless expanse of the star sea, within an isolated pocket of void.
Lu Benwei was personally guiding Chili, teaching her new songs and dances, their hands working in tandem.
Seizing this moment of relative quiet, Lord Totem, who had been suppressed beneath the bench, finally managed to catch his breath and let out a suppressed sigh of relief.
"Phew..."
As the turbid breath left his lungs, a fierce resolve hardened in Totem's large eyes.
He fixed his gaze upon the small, skeletal figure not far away, his eyes pooling with a dark, bloody hue, seemingly struggling to contain an urge to leap forward and engage in a death match!
At this precise moment.
Lu Benwei abruptly ceased his actions, turning around with a mocking laugh.
"Oh?"
"Such trash like you is getting restless, do you truly believe you stand a chance?"
The moment his words concluded.
An immense pressure descended, silencing the surrounding world. Chili, terrified, turned pale and collapsed to her knees.
Totem's eyes quivered as well, but he responded with a defiant roar!
"You lot took advantage of my absence, ambushed and annihilated my kin, never daring to face my race head-on! You employed this deceitful tactic, luring the tiger away from its mountain lair, and now you mock me!"
"If such an injustice can be endured, what cannot be?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Benwei slowly turned back, his face beneath the cloak radiating utter contempt!
"Bah!"
"I've been too generous with you!"
"Do you truly think it necessary to employ such a ploy as 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' for a worthless creature like you? Stop flattering yourself; you were never even a tiger! A mere caterpillar is a more apt comparison!"
With an even more mocking tone, Lu Benwei advanced a step. "Wasn't there someone just now begging for their life?"
"Why didn't you go?"
"Hmph, a piece of trash claiming to be a tiger of the Demon Race, yet unwilling to save someone in mortal peril. Truly a disgrace."
These words caused Totem's face to shift through a spectrum of colors!
Did he not wish to act?
It was precisely because he had been utterly suppressed and rendered powerless!
He had been forced into a corner, humiliated, and forced to watch his kin be annihilated. Yet, this individual chose to relentlessly taunt him. This was a direct assault on his very being!
At that moment.
Lord Totem's rage ignited, his roar escalating into utter madness!
"Damn it all!"
"You have gone too far in bullying demons!"
"You have not only insulted me but also destroyed my race's legacy. This blood debt is utterly irreconcilable! Even if my soul is obliterated, I shall make you pay!"
With that declaration, Totem's demonic energy surged, and he overturned the bench above his head. He transformed into an endless darkness, soaring into the sky as he let out a wild laugh!
"At the very least, I inherited a sliver of the Demon God's power, just like you in the Divine Realm! You are weaker now than you were before, yet you dare to look down on me like this. Indulging in your desires and breaking the seal without authorization, I will make you face the consequences!"
"Even if I have to self-destruct, I will drag you down with me!!!"
His ferocious laughter reverberated through the heavens, leaving Chili trembling in sheer terror.
However.
Gazing at the colossal, maddened eye in the sky, Lu Benwei's lips curved into a slight smile, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. His tone was filled with a profound sentiment.
"You've likely misunderstood one crucial point."
"While it's true I'm not what I once was, that only applies in comparison to my past self, not to a piece of scum like you."
The moment his words concluded.
Lu Benwei subtly lifted his left hand, his fingers casually clenching in the air!
Boom!!!
An overwhelming, terrifying power seized the very fabric of this world. Totem felt an invisible hand constricting his throat, rendering him utterly immobile. His boundless demonic energy was like a futile struggle in a mire, completely ineffective.
Instantly.
Totem's face contorted in extreme fear, his entire body shuddering. Even speaking became an arduous task!
"No..."
"This. This is absolutely impossible!"
"I possess a portion of the Demon God's inherited power. I should... I should be on equal footing with you. Now that we are both in the Divine Realm, why is there such a vast disparity!"
Observing Totem's incessantly trembling colossal eye, Lu Benwei let out a sigh of speechlessness.
"Sigh."
"Trash remains trash, after all."
"You contorted yourself, risking your life just to grasp a mere glimpse of the threshold, barely comprehending what a god entails."
"Alas, even though we are both gods, the gulf between us is far beyond your comprehension."
"This 'scum' you speak of is not the so-called god you imagine, but the Titled God of Eternal Tribulation!"
As he uttered these words, a frigid glint appeared in Lu Benwei's eyes; his patience had clearly evaporated.
"Were it not for the fear that killing you might disrupt the grand scheme of collecting the Demon Realm's World Heart, you would have perished countless times over. Do you truly believe you'd have the audacity to posture before me now?"
This final question utterly shattered Totem's remaining confidence.
That colossal eye in the sky quivered uncontrollably, sheer panic flooding it like an overwhelming tide!
"No... No!"
"I endured eternal, bitter cultivation to reach this point. It's impossible..."
Before Totem's shocked voice could finish.
Lu Benwei slowly tightened his fingers!
Crack!
With a sharp snapping sound, the colossal eye of Totem went blank. The dark shadow in the sky dispersed like wisps of smoke and clouds, its soul vanishing completely. Even in death, it could barely fathom its own abject vulnerability!
Witnessing this entire spectacle.
Chi Li, prostrate on the ground, was already paralyzed with fear. She remained kneeling there, her entire body trembling, for an extended period, not daring to lift her head.
This continued until Lu Benwei crouched down before her. Holding a rose, seemingly conjured from nowhere, in his mouth, he reverted to his usual debonair demeanor. A kind, charming smile graced his lips, complementing his sophisticated loafers.
"Beautiful lady."
"That earlier piece of trash ruined our mood. You certainly mustn't end up like him."
Upon hearing his voice, Chi Li hastily nodded, exerting all her effort to ingratiate herself.
"You are absolutely correct, my lord!"
"This lowly one will serve you with utmost devotion and will learn all manner of songs and dances for your pleasure!"
Hearing these words.
Lu Benwei finally rose to his feet, a sense of accomplishment evident. With his left hand tucked into his pocket, he adopted the dashing posture of a romantic traveler, extending a gentle finger from his right hand.
"Then, I shall eagerly anticipate your performance from this moment onward. Pray, commence your exhibition."
The instant his words concluded.
The woman once known as a demoness, Chi Li, swiftly rose and commenced a graceful sway of her form. Her voice, a soft melody, was accompanied by a song, each smile and gesture radiating unparalleled allure.
"Let me sing my thanks, for it is because of you that the seasons are warm..."
Observing the captivating dance, Lu Benwei leaned back onto the bench with contentment, a visage of pure delight.
"Not bad at all!"
"Continue your song, continue your dance."
Regardless of how the vast expanse of stars might churn and quake, this particular domain would forever be a sanctuary of tranquility, song, and dance.
