I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1244: The Unprovokable Existence

For several days, the sea remained calm and tranquil.

Yet deep beneath the waves, chaos had erupted!

Countless sea creatures hid in the depths, their fearful voices rising in a cacophony of arguments and tremors, finally disturbing the slumber of an ancient leviathan. Eyes as vast as the sun and moon slowly opened, illuminating the abyssal darkness!

"What dares disturb my rest?!"

The furious roar reverberated through the ocean, stirring powerful currents that forced all sea creatures to prostrate themselves in reverence.

"We greet the Sea Sovereign!"

Their voices echoed in unison as they bowed.

The seabed trembled as massive reefs rose like islands, the slightest movement of the colossal body sending shockwaves through the water. Hundred-zhang boulders rained down, yet they were mere pebbles compared to the titanic form.

Only when those terrifying eyes fully opened did the ocean finally settle.

Its awakening and rising was nothing short of a cataclysm in the eyes of ordinary sea life!

Countless sea creatures bowed in reverence; even those spanning thousands of zhang seemed like mere insects before the leviathan, not daring to make the slightest move.

At last, the giant turtle spoke, its voice rumbling like thunder.

"After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, you still act with such disgrace, disturbing my slumber—such insolence is punishable by death!"

The sea creatures trembled in terror, hastily pleading for mercy.

"Sea Sovereign, spare us!"

"Recently, a human has been crossing the sea, slaughtering our kin by the thousands! We were powerless to stop him, and in our panic, we disturbed you. We beg for your forgiveness!"

"Please, Sea Sovereign, avenge the millions of our fallen brethren!"

Pleas rose from all manner of sea creatures, their eyes filled with terror.

The giant turtle observed the scene, its massive eyes narrowing slightly.

"Such a thing has happened?"

"Lead me to investigate this matter!"

With those words, ripples spread around the leviathan as several sea creatures followed closely.

In the blink of an eye, the giant turtle had transformed into human form—an elderly man with a vigorous spirit, standing silently atop the waves as he gazed into the distance. Behind him, several similarly transformed middle-aged men pointed with fearful reverence.

"Sea Sovereign, that is the one who has been slaughtering our kin!"

Following their direction…

Far on the horizon, a lone figure could be seen swinging a sword!

"Snap!"

With a clean stroke, another giant octopus sank beneath the waves.

Yi Feng shook his head in disappointment.

"Still not strong enough!"

"Looked a bit bigger than the last one, seemed intimidating at first, but one slash and it's still split in two. Nothing more than an experience farm, really."

Beside him, Man Man calmly blew bubbles, seemingly accustomed to such scenes.

Yi Feng raised his gaze, spotting another massive shadow moving in the distance.

Immediately, he slapped his thigh and leaped onto Man Man's back, sword in hand!

"Dammit!"

"Even scraps add up! Let’s go! I refuse to believe a sea this big doesn’t have at least one decent catch!"

"Charge!"

Pointing his sword forward, Man Man shot off like a streak of light!

The snail knight Yi Feng brandished his blade, cutting through the waves like a whirlwind, his experience bar skyrocketing. If sea creatures were edible, he’d have enough food for several lifetimes!

Watching the entire spectacle unfold, the Sea Sovereign—now in the form of an old man—trembled, his expression darkening with every passing moment. The sight of that sword and the terrifying speed of the snail turned his face ashen.

Even after the figures vanished from sight, his unease remained.

"This…"

"Our kind has ruled these seas for countless ages, yet never have we faced such an enemy. Nor have we ever provoked such deadly hatred. Why is he slaughtering us like this?"

"What is his purpose?"

"Is he merely passing through, or does he truly bear malice toward our kind?"

His muttered suspicions left the sea creatures behind him exchanging fearful glances.

The Sea Sovereign, with his unfathomable experience and power, was actually wary of this human—how could this be?!

After a long silence, one of the middle-aged men stepped forward and bowed.

"Sea Sovereign…"

"What should we do? Please, guide us…"

The old man, once the giant turtle, exhaled deeply before clenching his teeth and staring at the endless sea.

"Migrate."

???

The others widened their eyes in disbelief.

The old man did not turn, his wariness only growing.

"Not just you—even I dare not oppose him. He is an existence beyond our reach. The only path left is for our entire kind to flee!"

"No matter how vast this sea is, as long as he remains, we have no place here. For whatever reason, he will continue the slaughter!"

"Pass my command immediately—all clans must migrate south, toward the East Sea. Until I give the order, none shall return to these waters!"

Several sea creatures opened their mouths to protest, but the old man’s face darkened further as he barked,

"Now!"

"Our survival hangs in the balance—not a single moment of hesitation is permitted!"

The transformed sea beings shuddered before plunging into the depths. Panic spread like wildfire as countless massive shadows fled southward in a desperate exodus!

……

Far to the north of the sea, billions of miles away, stood an entirely new continent. Its spiritual energy was so dense it was visible to the naked eye, stretching endlessly like a paradise.

This was the legendary Land of Fallen Gods.

A spirit bird soared over the crashing waves, past hundreds of miles of mangrove forests, across boundless grasslands and dense woods, before finally alighting on a towering cliff that pierced the heavens.

The precipice reached into the clouds, its peak obscured by mist, making its full majesty impossible to discern.

Yet even what was visible was breathtaking—any famed mountain or immortal abode from the outside world paled in comparison, mere hills before this divine spire that overlooked the land for thousands of miles, like a sacred temple reigning above all mortal life.

Upon the cliff’s vast plateau stood a magnificent city. A few figures lounged within its highest pavilion, gazing down at the world below with an air of innate superiority.

They sipped fine wine, chatting idly, until a subordinate approached and bowed.

"My lord, a ship approaches from the sea. It seems to be more of those outsiders—how shall we deal with them?"

At his words, all eyes turned.

The leader stood by the railing, clad in resplendent robes, one hand resting on the jade-carved balcony while the other held a wine cup with effortless grace. A smirk of absolute condescension played on his lips.

"Oh?"

"These lowly outsiders truly never learn. Every decade, without fail, some ship braves the endless sea to reach our shores."

"Do they truly believe their wretched kind is worthy of setting foot here?"

Laughter rippled through the group, their eyes alight with cruel anticipation.

The leader glanced back, his amusement deepening.

"If they refuse to be taught, then we shall handle this as always."

"Dispatch a team to poison the waters. Once the ancient sea creatures are enraged, they will act as our blades, drowning these fools in the depths."

"Remember—leave no trace. This must be done flawlessly."

A chorus of sycophantic praise erupted at once.

"Brilliant as always, my lord!"

"Using the sea beasts as our weapons—what elegance!"

"Those ignorant fools aren’t even worth dirtying our hands. Let the ocean bury them!"

"More than that! Once they perish at sea, even if the ancestors of these ignorant folks in the Divine Land hear of it, they won't find a shred of evidence!"

"Such a flawless scheme—only someone of your stature could conceive it!"

Though this wasn't their first time plotting to kill with borrowed blades, the group seemed to relish it more than ever, their flattery growing ever smoother, as if slaughtering outsiders granted them a peculiar sense of superiority.

Even the seemingly noble leader couldn't suppress a faint, twisted smile of satisfaction.

"Make sure this is executed flawlessly. Upon your return, I shall reward you all with celestial wine!"

The envoy bowed in excitement and immediately led the team into the distance!
