I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1450: Beyond the Gods
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Following an intense and bloody confrontation, Yi Feng found the reality of his current world becoming increasingly palpable. His spirit and body had fully integrated with the White-Robed Sword God of this era. All the resentments, rivalries, acts of kindness, and animosities felt profoundly real, as if they were experiences he had personally endured.
That fierce battle not only drew the attention of neighboring countries but also caused Yi Feng's mental state to elevate, propelling him to a higher plane in his martial cultivation journey. Concurrently, he forged a brotherhood with the young man in black robes, considering him a trusted confidant from that moment onward.
In a martial world rife with deception and self-interest, possessing such a confidant was a blessing that could make one feel complete, even in death.
Thus, Yi Feng became deeply absorbed in what he perceived as a simulated existence, entirely detached from the memories of his actual life.
Meanwhile.
At the furthest reaches of the cosmos in the true world, immense explosions continued without pause.
A youth with blond hair emanated a frigid aura, his eyes flickering with a cold luminescence. His entire being resembled the sharp long saber he held, projecting its keen edge to the utmost degree. He had achieved a state of unity between man and saber, exuding an indomitable presence.
This individual stood solitary at the universe's edge. Time became an irrelevant measure as he tightly gripped his long saber with both hands, relentlessly striking forward!
The saber's light sliced towards the seemingly vacant expanse of darkness, only to be repelled by a golden barrier that materialized abruptly. The tremendous forces clashed repeatedly, unleashing deafening roars!
Bang! Bang!The residual shockwaves propagated afar, and any passing meteorites or fractured celestial bodies were pulverized into mere dust!
Despite this onslaught.
The blond youth persisted in his slashing. Exhibiting the same stubborn tenacity as when he was young, the long saber in his grasp continuously waved, causing the barrier to falter, its brilliance significantly diminished from its initial intensity. The aftershocks reverberated like waves through the vast darkness of space!
Bang! Bang!
After an extended period of relentless strikes, the booming sounds appeared to diminish in intensity.
The targeted golden barrier had long since lost its formidable power. Now it glowed a pale gold, seemingly on the verge of succumbing to the overwhelming force of the saber light.
Yet, even so, whatever lay beyond the barrier remained indistinct. It was utterly impossible to discern; one could only vaguely perceive a realm of void and primeval chaos.
Observing this, Zhong Qing's resolve hardened further. He continued to wield his long saber, severing the air. His unyielding expression mirrored that of his youth when he practiced striking straw dummies.
Boom! Boom!
With increasingly rapid and powerful saber movements, after countless strikes, the barrier's luminescence dimmed once more.
This development hinted at an imminent breakthrough.
Zhong Qing's assault intensified, his saber strikes descending like a torrential downpour!
At this critical juncture.
A profound voice echoed from the depths of the barrier!
Cease!
What insolent being dares to shatter the divine tranquility!
Do you comprehend this is the Brink of Divinity? It is absolutely not a domain for mortal entities. Desist your actions immediately and refrain from further disturbing the gods' repose, lest your very soul be utterly annihilated!
The deep voice was grave and oppressive, imbued with an undeniable authority!
As the voice enveloped the surroundings, all nearby fragments of star matter halted their trajectory, as if held by an incomprehensible cosmic might, capable of disrupting the very fabric of existence!
However.
Zhong Qing remained steadfast. His saber-wielding motions did not falter in the slightest. Regardless of the adversary's power, it had no bearing on him.
In this existence.
Save for his master, no one possessed the capacity to sway his determination.
His unwavering saber strikes grew even swifter, his resolve solidifying!
Witnessing this scene and Zhong Qing's obstinate refusal to yield, an imprecation erupted from the barrier's depths as the enigmatic entities became incensed.
Scoundrel!
Ignorant wretch, how can you disregard the might of the divine!
This locale is the Shore of the Gods. Should you persist in disturbing the divine peace, you shall undoubtedly face utter soul annihilation!
Despite their curses and threats, Zhong Qing remained unmoved. Several mysterious figures observed with trepidation, their voices betraying a nascent sense of panic!
This is dire. If this continues, the barrier may very well be breached!
Upon this young man's arrival, his aura was far from overwhelming. We initially believed he warranted little attention. Yet, who could have foreseen that over merely a few short years, through sheer, unwavering persistence, he would challenge the very restrictions established by the united gods of antiquity? It is truly beyond comprehension!
The tenacity of this young man's Dao heart is exceptionally rare, and his saber intent has grown ever more profound. What could possibly be his lineage?
The situation has become dire. We can no longer afford to deliberate; immediate action is imperative!
Nevertheless, this ultimate restriction was forged by the combined might of the gods. Even we cannot manifest our true forms beyond it. How, then, are we to impede this young man?
I fear our only recourse is to unite our powers, coalescing an avatar of will to breach the barrier and confront him!
The spectral figures grew increasingly agitated. Exchanging glances, they channeled their entire divine senses.
Instantly, several streams of supreme aura converged. A terrifyingly potent phantom materialized, resembling a white-haired elder, reaching ten feet in height. His beard, equally long, cascaded down as he donned a Daoist robe that trailed upon the ground, presenting an image of celestial majesty.
With a single stride, the phantom emerged from the confinement. His hair and beard whipped wildly as he thrust out a hand, conjuring a robust palm force. A strike descended upon Zhong Qing, like a colossal mountain descending from the heavens!
Witnessing the Dao-robed phantom suddenly coalesce above his head, a frigid glint appeared in Zhong Qing's eyes!
Clenching his long saber with both hands, he executed a fierce vertical slash. A radiant golden saber light erupted, bisecting the phantom instantly and causing it to dissolve into ethereal smoke, dispersing into the boundless cosmos.
Following that single strike.
Zhong Qing continued his assault on the barrier before him, his movements seamless and unhesitating, executing each action with an air of effortless grace, as if merely performing a casual task.
Observing this turn of events, the phantoms situated behind the barrier fell into a state of profound shock!
This!
It cannot be!
Even as a mere avatar, it was formed through our collective power. Not even a nascent lesser god could withstand such an attack. How could he shatter it with a solitary slash!
What precisely is this young man's origin? Could he perhaps be an intermediate deity?!
Just as the group stood frozen in terror, a figure materialized behind them, bellowing in fury!
Incompetents!
You were charged with defending the divine restriction, yet you falter against an outsider. You are unworthy of the title of lesser gods. What face do you have to reside within our Shore of the Gods!
Upon hearing the voice, the spectral figures recoiled in fear, their gazes reflecting a mixture of humiliation and indignation.
However, as they sensed the overwhelming aura emanating from behind, their faces turned deathly pale with dread. They dared not utter a single word of retort, nor could they muster the courage for a proper backward glance. In unison, they bowed in deference, their eyes betraying their shame.
What Your Excellency decrees is absolutely correct. Our incompetence has been laid bare...
We implore Your Excellency's intervention, lest the gods' restriction be compromised, thereby disturbing the tranquility of our Shore of the Gods!
As their trembling words trailed off, the enigmatic newcomer let out a cold snort.
Then, he unleashed a punch. The phantom image of this fist effortlessly pierced through the gods' restriction. In terms of sheer might and aura, it vastly surpassed the phantom conjured by the unified efforts of the previous entities!
Boom!
The fist shadow expanded exponentially, blazing like a celestial body before Zhong Qing's very eyes!
Despite being but a projection, the crushing pressure it exerted compelled a solemnity to settle upon his features. He swung his saber with all his might, unleashing a golden radiance spanning countless miles to meet the onslaught head-on!
The clash of these two formidable forces sent reverberations through the very fabric of space in the cosmic depths!
Yet, in the immediate aftermath of the cataclysmic impact, the saber light emanating from Zhong Qing had been completely annihilated, while the formidable fist shadow continued its relentless advance. His previous saber light, which had once crushed all obstacles with ease, now lacked its former momentum. The disparity in cultivation realms was starkly apparent!
The origin of this fist shadow was undoubtedly a truly formidable adversary!
Zhong Qing understood the gravity of the situation, yet not a flicker of fear entered his heart. He continued to unleash saber lights in rapid succession, hacking towards the star-like fist shadow!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Blade lights wove together like an inescapable net, relentlessly striking the fist shadow!
The starlight-hued fist shadow engaged the myriad blade lights. Its momentum finally waned, but numerous residual shockwaves surged forward, forcing Zhong Qing into a violent retreat.
Having narrowly deflected this terrifying blow, he had expended a colossal amount of his vital essence. Coupled with several wounds of varying severity upon his person, he began to heave with heavy breaths!
Before Zhong Qing could even catch his breath, another fist shadow appeared, threatening to engulf the entire world!
At that critical moment, Zhong Qing's eyes widened in utter disbelief!
He hadn't yet recovered his full strength, and he knew attempting to contend with the colossal starlight fist was a sure path to ruin. Even his all-out effort would likely spell disaster!
In this moment of direst peril.
Suddenly!
A fist shadow erupted from behind Zhong Qing, hurtling directly towards the overwhelming starlight fist!
By comparison, the disparity between the two fist shadows was immense.
The newly arrived fist shadow was merely of ordinary size, emanating a subtle glow akin to a luminous grain of rice. The faint skeletal fingers discernible within appeared incredibly frail, utterly dwarce against the colossal starlight fist. It seemed destined to disintegrate into dust upon impact.
But in the very next instant.
The moment the two fist shadows met, the colossal starlight shadow surprisingly dissolved into nothingness. The remnants of its power scattered and retreated like cornered beasts, violently shrinking back into the profound darkness beyond the barrier!
Following this single, decisive move, an absolute silence descended.
Only the five skeletal fingers gracefully withdrew past Zhong Qing's ear, producing a sharp, clear sound.
Catching sight of the hand from the periphery of his vision, Zhong Qing swiftly and ecstatically turned his head.
It was then that he beheld a diminutive skeleton, standing with arms crossed and a faint smile gracing its features. He had no inkling of how long it had been standing there, silently observing, without his awareness.
Through all the years that have passed.
This figure remained as strikingly dashing as ever, their attacks imbued with unmatched and formidable might. The stylish loafers and form-fitting pants retained their undeniable charm. Coupled with that subtle smile, it perfectly embodied the untamed spirit of a wandering rogue.
Upon seeing this familiar figure once more, Zhong Qing's eyes glistened with profound emotion and delightful surprise, his voice betraying a slight tremor.
How is it that you are here as well?"
