I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1427: Uttering Wild Remarks

The nine great demon leaders were the first to strike, their movements as swift as roaring thunder!

Among them, the Phantom Spirit Stealth Clan and the Two-Faced Demon Clan possessed incredibly fast movement techniques. In the blink of an eye, their two leaders appeared right in front of Elder Lu.

One wielded a giant staff several dozen feet long, while the other formed their fingers into sharp claws. Terrifying demonic energy covered their bodies like phantom flames as they launched a fierce attack from both the left and right sides simultaneously.

It seemed as though Elder Lu was about to be turned into ashes!

In that lightning-fast moment.

Suddenly!

Two figures appeared on either side of Elder Lu. Blocking with a fist and a palm respectively, they collided with the terrifying killing moves of the two demon leaders, forcefully halting their certain-kill offensive!

Four terrifying auras clashed and intertwined, sending sonic booms echoing throughout the dark realm!

Bang!

In an instant, shockwaves even more powerful than before spread in all directions. The colliding tides of Desolate Ancient power shot straight up into the dark clouds, resembling an ascending meteor shower that illuminated the countless terrified faces of the armies on both sides!

With just a single clash, the aftermath shook the demonic dark city even more violently, with wails of agony rising one after another.

As the smoke and dust cleared.

The four deadlocked figures were finally seen clearly by everyone present.

The two demon leaders were continuously erupting with their cultivation power, yet their attacks could not advance a single inch. In contrast, the two old men who had suddenly appeared looked completely calm, as if they had not even used their full strength.

Witnessing such a scene, the military formations of both sides were filled with shock and doubt!

The stalemate lasted for only a few breaths.

The two demon leaders revealed even greater shock in their eyes, violently retreating to stand in a solemn standoff. The other demon leaders behind them also looked on with strange expressions, exchanging puzzled glances.

To block the attacks of those two so easily, how is this possible?

The cultivation of these two humans is absolutely at least at the Desolate Realm Initial Law stage!

There are actually other experts? Did the High Priest's words really come true?

Including these two, the humans now have a full four existences at the Desolate Realm Initial Law stage. Although it is far inferior to our race, it is still impressive. How can mere humans possess such a foundation?!

Strange things are happening one after another. Could there be even more experts among them?

Amidst the continuous doubts, the expressions of the nine demon leaders became complex. After their vanguard attack was blocked, they began to constantly evaluate the human formation.

In just a few breaths, the demon leaders all showed somewhat solemn expressions, and the atmosphere grew increasingly serious.

The demon army was even more shocked by this sudden change, staring intently at the few old men on the battlefield.

Under the gaze of the demons.

Grandmaster Lu remained as unassuming and peaceful as ever. Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong, who had just attacked, also wore relaxed and indifferent expressions.

They casually brushed off the residual Desolate Ancient power from their hands and turned their gaze toward the demon leaders.

Juan and the seniors were absolutely right. You demons really have no martial ethics; your first move is to use numbers to bully the few with a sneak attack!

Shameless demons, let us two old brothers have a practice session with you!

As their voices faded.

Several more people stepped out steadily from behind them. Aside from Lei Qianjue and three other ancient existences, there was actually a simply dressed, middle-aged woman who looked just like a lady selling vegetables at the market.

The style of that lineup was bizarre, looking rather strange when put together.

However, with the surprise attack having been blocked first, and the other side now issuing a verbal challenge, their actions and demeanor were full of confidence. It seemed they truly possessed some strength.

Involuntarily, the expressions of the nine demon leaders grew even more serious.

Even though the lineup before them was very strange, drawn from tens of thousands of years of slaughtering experience, they began to carefully inspect them, absolutely not daring to underestimate the humans again.

Who knew that after a few breaths of probing, the astonishment in the demon leaders' eyes would grow even thicker.

This...

These humans, their auras do not seem ordinary at all!

To think that humans possess such a foundation. We were careless just now and actually failed to notice there were so many Desolate Realm Initial Law experts!

Damn it! These humans are truly sinister, actually hiding their auras to play the pig to eat the tiger!

Thank goodness the High Priest spoke up to remind us in time, otherwise we might have been ambushed by them!

The High Priest's wisdom truly commands our admiration.

Amidst their shock, the demon leaders looked up at the sky. Their attitude completely changed from their previous arrogance, as they nodded with admiration in their eyes.

The High Priest finally gained some face, smiling as he cupped his hands and spoke.

You leaders flatter me.

This old man has merely lived a few extra years and has a bit of experience. Anticipating this little trick of showing weakness to the enemy is not worthy of such praise.

As he spoke, the High Priest turned and bowed, taking the opportunity to flatter the depths of the dark clouds.

If we are talking about wisdom, no one in the entire universe can compare to Lord Demon Venerable! These petty humans are surrounded and do not even realize it, yet they vainly attempt to play dirty tricks to win. It is truly showing off one's slight skill before an expert and making a laughingstock of themselves.

Little do they know, in the face of absolute power, their little sinister schemes are nothing more than the delusions of ants, completely useless!

Once these words were spoken.

The Demon Venerable, who had been too lazy to speak much, seemed to find this rather useful, and issued an order in a calm tone.

The High Priest's words are extremely correct.

Even if the humans have a little foundation that slightly exceeds my expectations, it does not hinder the overall situation. Now our race still has you nine great leaders, while they only have eight people. Judging by their auras, the strongest among them is no more than the Desolate Realm Initial Law Great Perfection. Whether in numbers or cultivation, our race holds absolute superiority!

Furthermore, you are all the elite of our race. Your divine abilities and techniques are far beyond what humans can compare to. As long as you attack with full force, the outcome of this battle is already decided!

Quickly finish off these humans, and do not let me down again.

The High Priest bowed in admiration, and the nine demon leaders were even more wholeheartedly convinced.

Your Excellency has great insight!

As the gloomy voices spread from the sky, the dark realm became even more chilling.

With a single sentence, he stabilized the battlefield and pointed out the key to this battle. The Demon Venerable's wisdom and vision were indeed unmatched by anyone. Without ever revealing himself, he had long been strategizing from within the command tent.

Instantly.

The expressions of the demon army settled down, and their morale climbed madly. Confidence surfaced in the eyes of the nine demon leaders, gaining much more assurance.

That steady smile was completely different from their previous arrogant conceit; it was a confidence that came straight from the heart.

The nine demon leaders smiled at each other and stepped forward in unison.

Boom!

An unprecedented sense of oppression rushed forward. The brief light in the sky just now was also swallowed by the endless nether energy, the pressure covering the heavens and the earth.

The leading Underworld Emperor laughed hideously, the giant pincers in his mouth emitting a terrifying light.

Jie jie jie...

You humans are truly filthy. Knowing you are weak, you hid so many Desolate Realm Initial Law existences, even playing the trick of showing weakness to the enemy!

What a pity, relying solely on this, you still cannot change your destiny of destruction!

Our race has formidable physical bodies, and we can even inherit divine abilities through our bloodlines. This is what it means to be born strong; we are the supreme race destined to rule the universe.

The gap in talent destines you to never obtain stronger divine abilities, and it absolutely cannot be leveled by relying on conspiracies. Today, we will let you ants witness what true bloodline inheritance divine abilities are!

Despair, tremble!!!

As the Underworld Emperor roared and laughed, the nine demon leaders simultaneously circulated their cultivation.

Their already terrifying auras climbed once more. Various phantom divine abilities were fully displayed, the pressure more than a level higher than before. The Underworld Emperor's physical body also began to expand, transforming into a hundred-foot giant ant in the blink of an eye!

Covered in a pitch-black glow, they radiated a brilliance from afar that rivaled supreme treasures. The aura they exuded swept out like a hurricane, instantly engulfing even the ordinary Minotaur demons behind them!

Witnessing such terrifying creatures, even though they were thousands of miles away from the battlefield and only observing through their divine sense, Luo Hongfei and the other Yunxing cultivators turned deathly pale from fright, feeling as helpless as mere ants.

The gap in power was simply too massive!

Just the shockwaves alone caused their vitality and blood to churn violently. Tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation felt like a joke in this moment; they were as frail as a speck of dust in the vast ocean, utterly insignificant.

This was a battle at the high-level Desolate Realm.

Even Saints and Heaven-tier experts risked perishing just by watching!

After observing from afar for merely a few breaths, the Yunxing cultivators fell into a dead silence, frozen in place and unable to move!

They could only watch nervously, pinning all their hopes on Grandmaster Lu and the others, praying fervently in their hearts for a miracle to happen.

However, as Luo Hongfei and the rest pushed their divine sense to the limit, they discovered that even the four ancient predecessors wore grave expressions!

On the battlefield.

Lei Qianjue and his fellow Daoists stared intently at the massive shadows before them. Even though their cultivation bases had fully recovered, they were still shaken by those terrifying divine abilities. Experiencing the residual waves of these powers firsthand made them feel as if they were facing their greatest enemy!

Fixated on the gigantic form of the Blood Ant leader, cold sweat seeped from Lei Qianjue's temples.

He quietly exchanged glances with his fellow Daoists, his gaze growing increasingly solemn!

"So this is the legendary bloodline divine ability of the Demon Race..."

"Against such existences, I fear we are no match!"

The others also looked apprehensive, tightly clenching their aged fists within their sleeves!

"Damn it!"

"Why are these detestable demons so outrageously strong!"

"To think Elder Jiang could actually defeat one of them, proving even stronger than when he severed the Demon Path back in the day. He truly lives up to his reputation as an ancient great sage. Today, I am thoroughly convinced of his greatness. I only hate that my own aptitude is limited, rendering me unable to slay these demons and defend the Dao!"

"Fellow Daoists, do not lose heart. What does it matter if the Demon Race is strong? Today, even if we must fight to the death, we will drag one of them down to the grave with us!"

"Exactly! It is true that we cannot defeat these fiends in single combat, but even if it means our souls are completely extinguished, we must fight to buy the people of the Shadow Isle a sliver of a chance!"

"Preserving the hope of the Human Race is the only thing we can do, and it will make our journey across eras to this present day worthwhile!"

"As cultivators of our generation, why should we fear a battle!!!"

Seeing the nine great demon fiends unleash their divine abilities, their terrifying phantoms reaching the heavens and shaking the earth, the ancient predecessors knew the situation was dire and had already resolved to fight to the death!

That look of absolute determination brought tears to the eyes of thousands of cultivators. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, their eyes were filled with reverence. If they were lucky enough to survive, they would definitely pass down the tale of this battle for an eternity, ensuring that future generations would remember the supreme elegance of these ancient sages!

On the other hand, the Demon Race.

Witnessing this tragic and heroic resolve spreading among the humans, they all revealed cruel and hideous smiles. It was as if witnessing the tragic desperation of other races was the only thing that could ignite their will to fight, allowing them to revel in their innate, bloodthirsty pleasure.

Up in the dark clouds filling the sky.

The High Priest also revealed a faint smile, while the Demon Venerable retracted his aura, clearly having anticipated the overwhelming victory that was about to unfold and preparing to leave.

Just at this delicate moment of sharply contrasting sorrow and joy.

On the battlefield.

Lu Qingshan, who was standing quietly among the several human experts, uttered a light and breezy remark.

"Sigh..."

"I thought the Demon Race was so ferocious, that they had something truly terrifying about them. I thought I'd finally get to stretch my muscles, but in the end, this is it?"

This... this is it?

His voice was not loud, almost impossible to hear on a battlefield filled with such monstrous might, yet it seemed to possess a magical quality, echoing continuously in the ears of the ancient predecessors.

In an instant.

Lei Qianjue was stunned.

The fellow Daoists beside him also looked back at each other in a daze, wearing expressions as if they had just seen a ghost!
