I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1285: Theyve Come to Our Doorstep
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
The Hall of Fallen Divinity.
Many elders lined up quietly along the sides, standing in deep reverence, as Liu Runan and his son trembled on their knees along the central starry pathway inside the vast chamber.
Anxiety twisted fiercely in the hearts of this father and son pair, waves of deep regret crashing endlessly inside them. Just imagining Yi Feng stepping into the sacred hall and dwelling under the same roof filled them with nauseating remorse.
Though the wait lasted only seconds, every instant dragged on like an eternity of ten thousand years, their minds racked with agony, silent pleas pouring out without stop!
At last.
Waves in space rippled across the majestic hall.
Feeling the spatial disturbances, Liu Runan shut his eyes in total defeat, his thoughts overwhelmed by the certainty that everything was finished.
It's done for.
The arrival of the two Star Envoys signaled the end of the affair.
Just as he sealed his eyes to face his destiny.The nearby elders drew in sudden, stunned gasps!
"Hiss…"
The odd noises jolted Liu Runan into snapping his eyes open. Glancing over his shoulder, he noticed just one Star Envoy had come back, holding a chopped-off right arm, his expression twisted in sorrow and fury!
This...
Liu Runan froze in disbelief!
He couldn't have foreseen such a result!
The Star Envoys had gone to call in an external cultivator—how did things turn out this badly? What kind of horrifying entity did they run into?!
In the midst of everyone's widespread shock.
The Star Lord's voice emerged from beyond the beaded curtain, laced with uncertainty.
"Why do you return by yourself, and so severely injured? What happened?"
The ashen Star Envoy bent in respect, speaking through clenched teeth in his report.
"I report to the Star Lord!"
"My brother and I followed the Celestial Decree to bring that external cultivator here. Little did we expect this individual to be so wildly arrogant? Backed by his strong cultivation, he launched a surprise attack and slew my elder brother! I myself lost an arm!"
"Without using a hidden technique right away, I couldn't have escaped back to the Divine Hall!"
"This fellow is excessively bold, ignoring the honor of our Divine Palace entirely, slaying without restraint! He even proclaimed he would lounge and await the Star Lord's personal arrival! We failed our mission, tarnishing the Divine Palace's reputation. Please, Star Lord, deliver our punishment!"
Whoosh!
These statements ignited chaos across the hall!
The formerly proud Star Envoy had slunk back in this pitiful condition, causing all the elders to pale dramatically, their normal poise shattered completely.
A simple loose cultivator, bold enough to slay Divine Palace members one after another, even taking a Star Envoy's life, and scorning the Star Lord directly!
Nothing like this had ever happened before!
Though this young man's cultivation was impressive, his nerve knew no bounds!
Shock, dread, and boiling rage gripped the whole hall, murmurs of talk buzzing all around.
Just Liu Runan and his son, after the first wave of surprise, sensed a spark of ease in their cores, even kindling a subtle, hidden spark of optimism...
Good lord!
That external cultivator turns out to be this powerful? He even felled a Star Envoy? Lucky for us we held back from acting more back then.
Yet such wild overconfidence seals his total ruin, flesh and spirit alike. He won't step into the Divine Palace now, that's for sure. This could end up working in our favor!
The Star Lord will no doubt send out a direct order to wipe out this rogue!
With these thoughts, Liu Runan tamped down his inner thrill and bowed his head in pretend grief and outrage, staying silent in wait.
True to his expectation.
The tone from behind the beaded curtain boomed with a fury unseen in millennia!
"Outrageous!"
"This young fool dares to challenge the heavens!"
"Defying this sovereign's Celestial Decree is punishable by death already! But to waylay the Star Envoys of my Fallen Divinity Palace? No matter how skilled his cultivation, this clueless wretch who scorns all dignity has no right to exist in this realm!"
As the furious words resounded, a fearsome presence surged through the sacred hall!
Winds raged fiercely, and immense pressure crushed down everywhere!
The elders all cowered with heads lowered, too terrified to speak. Even the grand immortal gate of ancient jade swung wide under this force!
When the Divine Palace rages, millions of corpses pile up!
Facing this historic wrath, the full Land of Fallen Divinity—and all of Lan Star—would quake in fear. A lone loose cultivator was doomed to scatter into dust!
"By this sovereign's Celestial Decree, starting today, the whole Fallen Divinity Palace must rally! Use every resource to track and eliminate this individual! At the same time, proclaim an Absolute Kill Decree: whoever slays him will earn the rank of Inner Elder in our Fallen Divinity Palace!"
The Star Lord's Celestial Decree boomed like thunder, stunning the gathered crowd!
Deploying the entire might of Fallen Divinity Palace against one loose cultivator was a sure path to doom. Adding the Absolute Kill Decree left no refuge for him anywhere on Lan Star!
No such command had echoed through the ages!
The Star Lord was genuinely enraged, and this loose cultivator faced utter despair without a trace of escape!
The chamber brimmed with awe and terror, hushed like winter insects.
Liu Runan and his son felt a jolt of fear too, but deep down, their fears vanished entirely, swapped for something close to delight.
A golden chance dangled right there, yet that guy leaned on his gifts and strutted so boldly! A idiot chasing his own end would never survive this world. They could finally relax!
Right then.
Footsteps rang out suddenly from beyond the now-ungated immortal entrance of the hall.
Next, a relaxed, unknown voice sounded.
"No need to go to all that effort. I'm here already."
Swish!
Every elder whipped around toward the noise, fixing puzzled and alarmed stares on the strange face.
They exchanged looks, eyes brimming only with astonishment.
The Divine Hall was the pinnacle of sanctity. Only Inner Elders could enter. How did an outsider just stroll in, spouting such weird and cheeky lines?
Was it possible...
As doubts flared up all over, Liu Runan's eyes bulged wide!
"It's him...?"
He'd spot Yi Feng's features even reduced to cinders!
He could never have dreamed this man's guts ran this deep. Not content with slaying Divine Palace experts in a row, he had the nerve to barge right in while the Star Lord decreed his fate!
This was arrogance without end!
Liu Runan hurried to alert everyone!
"Star Lord!"
"This villain is that external cultivator! He ambushed and killed the Star Envoy, my son, and our fellow associates!"
The last surviving Star Envoy chimed in fast, his features burning with hate!
"Star Lord, yes, it's this criminal!"
The chain of confirmations rocked the hall. Every elder spun around, eyes popping!
No one saw the true killer waltzing up to their door!
This was pure, unbridled gall!
Even the enigmatic Star Lord bellowed in rage at that instant!
"Audacious lunatic!"
"You dare invade the Divine Hall? You truly grasp neither heaven's reach nor earth's depth! Since you chase your own demise, this sovereign will oblige!"
Under the gaze of the full assembly, Yi Feng strolled calmly into the grand hall.
Raising his eyes to the nine-level jade dais, he replied with a grin.
"You're correct!"
"I showed up today just to court death!"
His statement left the entire hall speechless in stun.
Before reactions could form, bold declarations blasted through the space!
"Today, I want to get pummeled to death by everyone here, or pummel all of you to death!"
“But I'm naturally a modest sort. I'll let you all take the first swing. If you fail to finish me off, then I'll have to end you instead. So, everyone, bring your utmost power, or risk dying yourselves.”
The casual delivery dripped with taunt, like he faced mere pests.
This was the Hall of Fallen Divinity!
Even mighty forces famous across Lan Star wouldn't dream of rudeness here, much less spew such haughty trash talk. He was plainly wagering his life to mock these exalted figures!
He's insane.
Completely insane!
No matter the source of this man's surety, the elders on site were now seething!
"Villain!"
"You impudent brat!"
This elder has wandered for ten thousand years—how can I stomach this shame!
"Unless we pulverize your bones, how can the Divine Palace's dignity endure!"
The veterans fumed, their beards and locks whipping about as Great Dao forces clashed through the chamber!
Seeing the lethal vibe amid the roars and yells, a sharp gleam at last lit Yi Feng's gaze. Finally, excitement stirred in him, as he mused that this spot was spot-on, and he should've dropped by much earlier!
Today, time to battle to the bitter end!
