I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1348: Crackdown

Their gazes locked for only a few moments.

A deeper smile spread across Lu Benwei's face, like he'd caught wind of a joke. Disdain slowly crept onto his features, and he let out an exasperated eye-roll prior to uttering a word.

"Sigh."

"You worthless scum. You were garbage back then, and to me right now, you're still not worth a mention as trash. Halting a pathetic entity like you requires zero effort from me, even in my skeletal form!"

His overbearing tone echoed with indifference. Lu Benwei hovered silently mid-air, exuding the same unmatched aura from his glory days.

Observing that unbeatable stance.

Even White Pupil, concealed in the cosmic shadows, couldn't suppress a dazed expression. After several breaths, he snapped back and burst into laughter, growing bolder and more haughty!

"Heh heh heh..."

"Who would've thought the God of Eternal Calamity, who once dominated every realm, would sink so low, reduced to mere bones. Aside from your talent for blustering, you've lost all your old power. It's genuinely disappointing."

"If you really possessed that kind of power, why bother with the pretense? If you're able to halt me, why hold back from acting?"

"Hmm?"

The moment his words ended, Lu Benwei shook his head with cool detachment.

Instead of arguing verbally, he simply lifted his hand to rip apart the heavens, compelling a minor realm to manifest. Then, he extended his skeletal fingers toward the emptiness!

"Swoosh!"

Just a whisper of wind followed as a grotesque, swollen beast was dragged forth and cast into the nothingness.

Before the hideous white-eyed abomination could rise with its enormous frame, Lu Benwei crushed it underfoot, pinning it down completely. Terror filled its gaze, and all that escaped were disbelieving shrieks!

"This..."

"In a single moment... Impossible!"

"You're down to just bones now—how can you wield such horrifying power!"

Regardless of its furious bellows.

Lu Benwei casually reached into the void, summoning a lengthy seat, and reclined upon it. Though his frame looked diminutive, it seemed to eclipse the cosmos itself, smashing the colossal beast under the chair into oblivion and silencing its wails.

Just its resentful stare glared through the gaps, displaying crimson orbs brimming with infinite grudge!

In that instant, true fear of the God of Eternal Calamity dawned on it!

Time dragged on.

Tranquility at last enveloped the minor realm, serene and cozy like the starry night prior.

Lu Benwei lounged relaxed on the seat, arms pillowing his skull, eyelids drooping as he let out a yawn.

"Yawn..."

"Quit your yelling. Fine, I'll concede you've advanced a smidge, and you've bulked up somewhat. You're somewhat of a nuisance now, forcing me to lounge here and hold you down myself."

"That ought to satisfy you, huh?"

Underfoot, White Pupil's enormous orb quivered faintly, humiliation and rage nearly bursting free.

Yet.

Bearing that indescribable, petrifying force, even emitting a noise proved nearly impossible. He dared not protest anymore. Despite seething reluctance, he clamped his jaws and sank into quiet.

A mere handful of outbursts, and his resistance crumbled entirely.

What a bore.

Lying there grew tedious for Lu Benwei, prompting an audible sigh.

"Sigh."

"You brat, why go and play the show-off? I preferred your cocky vibe earlier. Now everything's ruined—no entertainment, and I'm stuck lounging in tedium. You've spoiled things for us both."

"I'm the universe's finest-looking fellow. Wasting time on a runt like you is pointless. A beauty to chat with would be ideal..."

While muttering.

Lu Benwei gradually lifted his gaze, piercing the emptiness anew to behold the stellar ocean.

Deep within the boundless cosmos.

The absolute shadow started unveiling its reality.

Towering odd structures rose like celestial spires, enveloped in a frightful, ghostly gloom. Amid the perpetual night, clusters of edifices sprouted like fresh shoots, or stood as timeless behemoths. Time's marks barely clung to them, their age spanning countless eras unknown.

Terrifying fiend clans roamed and darted about, ruling this vast shadowy domain. They blended seamlessly with the abyss, enduring eternally till now.

The fiends scattered all around radiated a dreadfully potent presence, vastly surpassing the fiends lurking on distant worlds. Their cultivation was deep and structured, with intellects that struck fear for their sharpness.

A quick glance over.

This concealed abyss, draped in night, resembled evil's origin, endlessly spawning horrifying beings. It let shadows flourish unchecked in hidden spots, consuming radiance across infinite ages, forever clashing and balancing against it.

In the gloom's heart.

An immense, sky-piercing tower loomed endlessly, linking this world's skies and soil. It oversaw the entire shadow and tracked every fiend clan's motions.

Inside the lofty tower, the chambers emitted a choking, marrow-freezing chill.

Myriad fiends lined up silently on either side, including leaders from diverse clans. One-eyed stunted fiends, dual-faced colossi over a hundred feet high, and human-like temptresses filled the ranks. Their presences delved into immeasurable depths.

From any clan they hailed, all lowered heads in reverence now. Though almost ten thousand assembled, they claimed but a fraction of the vast chamber's inky expanse.

On the obsidian seat.

Boundless gloom converged ceaselessly, revealing solely a duo of scarlet eyes.

Those crimson eyes parted, and myriad fiends prostrated.

"Call forth Demoness Chi Li for a meeting."

The icy timbre resounded, prompting myriad fiends to kowtow.

A dark sedan emerged beyond the chamber's entrance, veiled in haze. Fierce fiends in crimson helms bore it aloft. With no apparent motion, they cleaved through the gloom and faded away.

Upon resurfacing, they stood before the Demoness's abode.

Though the splendid chamber was utterly lightless, its craft was superb. Formed as an ornate tower, its upturned roofs and supports dangled scarlet chimes, infusing the majestic shadow with a perilous, seductive edge.

Demoness Chi Li, clad in ebony garb, lingered calmly at the entrance. Her measured strides oozed grace, her attire finely wrought. Bold openings accentuated her flawless silhouette, pale flesh peeking through. She projected a frosty vibe that repelled all comers.

This pinnacle fiend lady of the clans held a rank and gifts unmatched in history. At her emergence, the colossal bearers bowed low and awaited in silence, shunning any hint of irreverence.

Only as Chi Li mounted the sedan with graceful limbs did the giants hoist it firm and depart.

Gliding on dark vapors and traversing the skies, they spanned leagues in an instant. The ebony conveyance projected vast authority, rousing countless fiends to gaze upward in awe and murmur.

Abruptly!

A skeletal claw rent the fabric of space and struck. Vast as a titan's remnant, it charged directly at the dark sedan, seizing Demoness Chi Li amid hordes of fiends!

Horror seized the fiends at once, ignoring the captivating view of the startled lady mid-flight!

"How bold!"

"What divine entity dares seize our fiend clan's Demoness captive!"

In a mere flash.

As the colossal bone grasp whisked off the Demoness and shredded space to flee, simple as plucking an item, shock rippled through the fiend clans without end. This supreme disgrace echoed across the shadowed void!

The colossal bearers who had shouldered the sedan felt the bone claw's dread most acutely. Overwhelmed by alarm and haste, they rushed back to the fiend clan's sacred tower to inform.

Within the colossal chamber.

Four behemoth fiends, each tens of feet in stature, groveled in fear. They appeared ant-sized in this space, yet their quaking tones filled the vast room, igniting rage in the fiend throng!

"Reporting to Your Excellency!"

"A catastrophe! Moments ago, a huge skeletal claw burst through space, kidnapped the Demoness en route, and vanished into the ether. Her location remains unknown. We were helpless against it—please forgive us, Your Excellency!"

Scarcely had they spoken when furious bellows surged from the assembled fiends in the immense hall!

"What?!"

"Daring to kidnap our clan's demoness—what brazen nerve!"

"Who can say what powerhouse this is, ripping space to invade our fiend lands. Such insolence suggests malicious aims!"

"Is this an attempt to ignite war with our fiend clans?!"

"We don't know the culprit. Declaring battle would leave us directionless. These cravens are vile. Urgently, we must identify the offender!"

Following a hushed exchange, the fiends all knelt toward the seat!

"We beseech your ruling, My Lord!"

The inky chamber fell into utter hush, as a never-before-seen wrath quietly simmered and expanded.

Upon the seat, a pair of scarlet eyes gradually unveiled, emanating savage murderous aura!

"Our fiend clans have slumbered too peacefully. Outsiders nearly recall our fearsome reputation no more."

"This affronts our fiend clans. Past or present, such cannot stand. Whatever the intruder's nature, even ransacking every heaven, we shall seize them!"

"That offender will face total annihilation of form and spirit!!!"

A dreadful force barreled across the shadowed chamber, as timeless fury resurfaced in existence!

Though the fiends present were their clans' finest, star-shattering powers, they now cowered low. An apocalypse of slaughter, poised to quake myriad star systems, was upon them!

At the same time.

In some obscure small domain, Demoness Chi Li rose unsteadily. She adjusted her tousled dark gown, hiding her statuesque form, cheeks burning with fury and mortification.

Once her vision cleared on the quiet-seated form before her—a mere tiny skeleton—she haughtily lashed out in rebuke!

"Insolent!"

"Who are you to snatch this demoness? Do you realize that my fiend clan's fury, once roused, will paint the vast cosmos in blood!?"
