I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1429: The Path of Master Lu

Jiang Yuan's murmurs ignited the atmosphere of the battlefield.

Seeing the constant exclamations from both armies, the battle situation seemed to be developing in a direction favorable to humanity. However, the Blood Ant Leader was not completely intimidated and suddenly launched an attack!

"They are only at the initial stage of the Desolate Realm Law, how could they comprehend divine abilities on their own?!"

"This must be a trick by the human race to mystify us!"

"How can this child's play bluff me? If these lowly humans truly possess such heaven-defying talent, I will twist my head off for them to play with!"

Following the Underworld Emperor's fierce roar, the rest of the demon leaders instantly woke up!

The eight great demon leaders simultaneously activated the power of their divine abilities. Their auras skyrocketed as various terrifying phantoms condensed in the air, suddenly launching a surprise attack toward the several human experts!

"Whoosh!"

With an unexpected sound, almost no one could see the movements of the demon leaders clearly. By the time anyone reacted, the various phantom afterimages were already right in front of the human experts!

In an instant!

The millions of living beings on both sides were stunned, their hearts suddenly clenching.

Even ancient predecessors like Lei Qianjue were so shocked by this surprise attack that it was difficult to react. In a single encounter, they were beaten back hundreds of miles, forcibly carving out deep valley-like trenches in the dark earth!

Witnessing this scene.

A faint smile appeared in the depths of the Underworld Emperor's eyes, secretly thinking that this was how it should be!

These humans were merely posturing.

But in the next moment.

Just as he was preparing to look at the rest of the great battle.

Suddenly, several figures actually flew backward in reverse. If the Underworld Emperor hadn't dodged in time, he would have almost been knocked down!

Even so, the wind brushing past his ears remained incredibly terrifying!

"Swish! Swish!"

Just flying past his ears, the wind actually blew the Underworld Emperor so hard that his body swayed slightly. He was instantly so shocked that his eyes widened, not even bothering to care about the several demon leaders who had flown backward!

His eyes were just dead set on Lu Qingshan, who was stepping forward!

"This..."

The old man in his line of sight showed no signs of injury at all. It seemed he hadn't used much cultivation base to beat back two demon leaders. The terrifying phantom even became increasingly solid, its might even greater than before.

In a single encounter, the superior and inferior were immediately judged!

Suddenly, the Underworld Emperor panicked too!

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Previously, he had boasted that the human race could not comprehend divine abilities on their own. In the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face. The turnaround was even more unexpected than a sneak attack!

Before his voice faded, several more demon leaders were beaten and sent flying backward.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The afterimages passed through the demon army's grand formation like meteors. Wherever the several streams of light passed, there was nothing but a bloody storm. It wasn't until they smashed through the high walls of the Demon Capital that they continued flying into the distance!

Those few had slightly inferior cultivation, but they were still demon leaders. At this moment, they were actually beaten out of sight like small fry. Was the gap truly this huge?

Before he could think in detail.

Lu Qingshan, Wu Yonghong, and the others walked forward steadily. Various phenomena continuously bred with their steps. Wherever they passed, they actually left behind the terrifying residual charm of desolate ancient power. The scene of flowers blooming with every step was nothing more than this.

Looking at that terrifying aura, even the Underworld Emperor couldn't help but have his eyelids twitch wildly!

"This!"

"How can they have such might? Could it be that these humans have truly comprehended divine abilities on their own?!"

Along with the panicked murmurs of the demon race's number one expert, the armies of the various races, which had already suffered heavy casualties, actually developed fear in the depths of their eyes!

Even the High Priest in the sky stared blankly.

"How could this be..."

"These humans clearly haven't stepped into the Completion Stage of the Desolate Realm Law yet, but they actually comprehended divine abilities on their own? This kind of aptitude is more than heaven-defying; it's practically about to pierce through the heavens!"

"Even in our race, there has never been such a genius! When did the human race become this terrifying?!"

The High Priest was dumbfounded. His previous gloomy and experienced demeanor completely vanished. He hurriedly bowed toward the depths of the black clouds, his flattering words becoming hesitant.

"My Lord, My Lord!"

"These humans are stronger than common sense allows. I'm afraid the plan is... is going to slip out of control! Several leaders have already been defeated, the situation brooks no delay. I beg My Lord to take action!"

Hearing this, a look of doubt also flashed through the blood-red pupils in the depths of the darkness.

After pondering for a few breaths, he spoke again. His might was still impressive, but his tone seemed to have lost its previous absolute resolve.

"It matters not."

"The grand plan is still within my control. Since they have penetrated deep into our race's divine land, they can't escape even if they had wings. Even if there are slight unexpected changes, it's just a bit more loss. It's not a big problem."

Hearing these words, the High Priest's eyes became even more anxious, even revealing a trace of suspicion!

The situation is already like this, and it's still under control?

Seeing several leaders defeated, these humans are outrageously strong, and this is still called not a big problem?!

Could it be.

That countless demons have to die and the Demon Capital be conquered by humans for it to be considered a problem?

What a massive ego!

Sweeping his peripheral vision, demon corpses already littered the ground. Many priests had also been caught in the aftermath, their corpses already completely cold.

The High Priest was both anxious and angry, almost breaking down!

However, with the Demon Venerable in front of him, no matter how anxious and aggrieved he felt, he could only curse in his heart. He hurriedly put on a submissive face and began to advise again.

"Uh..."

"My Lord, please see clearly. These humans are truly excessively strong. Even with the Underworld Emperor leading the attack, the chances of victory might not be great. I hope My Lord will take pity on the various races and step in to turn the tide!"

During this pause in conversation.

The Underworld Emperor had already led the masses to fight Lu Qingshan and the others until the sky went dark and the earth shook. Some leaders even fought to the point of burning their divine souls, yet they still didn't seem to be a match.

On the battlefield, the morale of both sides was about to become completely one-sided!

Finally.

The Demon Venerable sighed softly and agreed in a deep voice.

"Forget it."

"I am at a critical moment in my cultivation and shouldn't waste my cultivation base. However, considering our race's grand plan, I will separate a little demonic essence to help the Underworld Emperor achieve victory."

"To think that the insignificant human race could actually push the various races to such a state. It truly disappoints me greatly."

Hearing this.

The High Priest repeatedly expressed his gratitude, only then secretly letting out a long breath!

"Thank you, My Lord!"

"If he can get the help of the demonic essence, the Underworld Emperor's cultivation base will surely skyrocket. He will definitely be able to wipe out these bizarre humans in one fell swoop!"

Although the situation seemed about to stabilize.

In the darkness, the Demon Venerable's eyes flickered with suspicion. He secretly observed Long Tian in the human camp, who had yet to make any movements or say any words, and always felt that something wasn't quite right...

Helplessly, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to overthink.

As the phantom formed hand seals, a supreme and pure demonic power surged down from the sky, like a secluded waterfall from the Nether Sea, continuously baptizing the major demon leaders!

Instantly.

The heavily injured demon leaders stood up one after another, emitting terrifying black light. The Underworld Emperor's physical body expanded once again, visibly reaching a height of ten thousand feet. Standing outside the Demon Capital, he could almost overlook everything!

From the aura alone, even the millions of demons showed fear in their eyes and continuously retreated!

That terrifying empowerment had not yet ceased, and a long river of black demonic energy was continuously absorbed by the Underworld Emperor!

Until the end.

The Underworld Emperor's cloud-piercing body was entirely covered in obscure, condensed inscriptions. Black light shone throughout the entire dark land. That unprecedented power made the Underworld Emperor, whose eyes had turned entirely white, wear a ferocious expression as he let out a hearty laugh!

"Jiejiejie!"

"The Completion Stage of the Desolate Realm Law! I have finally broken through to this realm!"

"Thank you, My Lord, for bestowing the demonic essence. I will definitely not fail your deep affection. I will slaughter this group of humans to the last, letting our race's might intimidate the universe!"

Along with his roaring laughter.

Endless demonic power began to wreak havoc. The entire battlefield was swept by fierce winds, with flying sand and rolling stones measuring several feet across hurtling through the air!

Seeing that the situation was turning grim, Lu Qingshan and the others exchanged quiet glances before launching a fierce attack.

Who would have thought?

The Underworld Emperor merely let out a roar as it charged forward. Its giant pincers emanated a netherworld aura, unexpectedly shattering the magical abilities of the several figures and severely injuring the human race's combatants in one fell swoop!

Having stepped into the initial stage of the Desolate Realm, its combat prowess was indeed on a completely different level!

On the battlefield that had turned into endless black sand, only Master Lu could still stand tall and still. This seemed to foreshadow that the human race was at the end of its rope; even with outstanding talents possessing heaven-defying aptitudes, they could not defeat the demon race.

The cultivators of Cloud Star, who had suffered heavy casualties, found the hope in their eyes growing dim.

Finally.

The demons laughed endlessly, and the Underworld Emperor also looked down with pity in its eyes, overlooking that tiny, aged figure.

"Jie jie jie..."

"You human, so what if you have some talent? In the end, you are nothing but an ant! In front of Lord Demon Venerable's power, you all will never be worth mentioning!"

The ten-thousand-foot giant ant sneered continuously. Its eyes hung high in the sky like the sun and the moon. It had completely cast aside its earlier sorry state and shock, appearing incredibly high-spirited.

Anyone who saw that terrifying giant shadow would feel fear in their hearts. Jiang Yuan also couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, swallowing hard along with several heavily injured old friends.

"To think the demon race actually had such a method, how truly detestable!"

"With only Master Lu left, I'm afraid..."

In contrast, the surrounding people from the Shadow Island did not change their expressions at all, appearing completely out of place among them. Xiong Zhong even smiled, looking back and comforting them in a deep voice.

"It's fine."

"Since we were ordered to come here, there will absolutely be no problem. Once upon a time, when my father and I first joined the island, we would also occasionally harbor hidden worries. But after going through several twists and turns, we learned that everything in this world is but floating clouds."

As he spoke, Xiong Zhong's eyes revealed a sense of emotion, as if recalling bits of the past. He looked incredibly relaxed and peaceful. The once impetuous young master had matured quite a bit.

Seeing this, Xiong Fen also revealed a look that said the boy was worth teaching.

"Mm, well said, son."

Subsequently, he also spoke out to soothe the crowd.

"Everyone, do not be fooled by the fact that Master Lu is alone. He is one of the oldest veterans who followed the Mister from the very beginning, and he is especially close to the Mister. Later, he devoted himself to building the Shadow Island. He is a mainstay existence on our island and even has quite a bit of face before the personal disciples!"

"With Master Lu making a move, victory is assured!"

Hearing such high praise and that boundless confidence, Jiang Yuan and the others began to show suspicion in their eyes.

They had only been on the Shadow Island for a short time and had not yet come into contact with many things. Naturally, they could not be as experienced as Manager Juan. Seeing the demon race's cultivation base soar, they were even more anxious and uneasy.

"Manager Xiong, this..."

Just as he started to speak.

The security captain at the front, Jiang Zhi, suddenly flashed a sharp glint in his eyes!

"Master Lu is about to make his move!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone focused their gazes into the distance, and all kinds of divine senses instantly spread out!

On the battlefield.

Master Lu indeed began to step forward. Facing the ten-thousand-foot giant ant, his figure appeared so tiny, yet his expression remained peaceful. It wasn't until he stood right before the giant ant that he stopped, his eyes revealing a sighing look.

"Sigh."

"You giant ant, your knowledge is truly limited and your vision short. You get carried away the moment you gain some power, and you keep using 'ant' to look down on us. You are really forgetting your own roots."

"Little do you know, you yourself are fundamentally an ant?"

Master Lu was an old hand in the martial world after all. His very first words poked right at the sore spot, causing the Underworld Emperor to roar continuously in anger!

"You... you lowly human!"

"Your time of death is at hand, stop trying to show off your tongue!"

"This seat has received the demon source bestowed by Lord Demon Venerable. My cultivation and magical abilities have ascended to a higher level. Now, not only is my physical body comparable to a top-tier desolate artifact, but my five senses and divine sense are tens of millions of times stronger than before!"

"On what basis do you dare to speak so arrogantly?"

"Could it be you think that with a bit of lucky talent, you can actually compete with this seat?"

"Jie jie jie!!!"

The roaring laughter shook the land of darkness, and its sheer might caused the vitality of many humans and demons with shallow cultivation to churn wildly!

Master Lu continued to stand quietly and indifferently, giving a slight nod in response.

"Since that is the case, then I shall grant your wish."

As his voice fell.

A bizarre vehicle phantom several ten-feet tall condensed behind Master Lu. It looked like a horse carriage, yet there was nowhere to sit. Aside from two odd rows of wheels, there was only a massive, sealed high barrel lying horizontally at the back of the vehicle.

It looked far less impressive than the various magical ability phantoms from earlier.

Whether in size or might, it could not compare to the ten-thousand-foot giant ant in front of it. If it weren't for the faint desolate ancient power swirling around it, it would be hard for anyone to believe this thing was actually a magical ability phantom.

In an instant.

The Underworld Emperor laughed even harder, and even the remnant demon army and their leaders in the distance held their bellies in amusement!

"You call this a magical ability?"

"I thought that since you held the line for so long, you must be the strongest of the human race. I didn't expect you to be so unpresentable!"

"This magical ability is just too unsightly."

"I'm afraid with a single breath from Lord Underworld Emperor, that human will perish and his dao will vanish!"

"Hahaha..."

Waves of mocking laughter continued, but Master Lu's expression remained as usual.

Once upon a time, when he first started following the Mister, he had also encountered all kinds of ridicule, and even felt ashamed and indignant himself. Later on, even when he achieved some minor accomplishments, he still couldn't avoid being looked at strangely by newcomers.

However, after enduring endless tempering, all of this was nothing more than passing clouds in the mortal world, not worth mentioning at all.

So what if it was unrefined?

Unsightly?

That didn't matter either.

This was his dao.

The various judgments of others were mere words of ignorance.

You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of fishes?

One who comprehends their own grand dao of magical abilities can only be overcome with joy. That dao heart, which had been baptized by supreme providence, would not waver in the slightest even if it experienced the changing of the seas into mulberry fields.

To be able to follow the Mister and achieve this much in this life, he dared not have a single fraction of any other extravagant hope.

Allowing thousands of demonic creatures to look at him with disdain and laughter, Master Lu's eyes remained clear.

With a light wave of his long sleeve.

In the next instant, endless golden light shot out explosively from around the vehicle phantom, illuminating the entire land of darkness!

"Flying Wheels and Dancing Dung!"
