World's Strongest Martial Warrior

The gaze of Black White Immortal Supremacy swept the dark, oppressive expanse around him. His voice, soft yet resonant, filled the space.    

"Identify yourself and state your purpose for coming here."    

A voice, dark and icy as if emanating from the depths of the Nine Underworlds, followed the query of Black White Immortal Venerable.    

Suddenly...    

A shadowy black figure materialized before the black and white Immortal Venerables without any forewarning.    

Upon seeing this, Black White Immortal Supremacy respectfully bowed with clasped fists. "I am Black White Immortal Supremacy from the Longevity Immortal Palace. Greetings, Yellow Springs Immortal King."    

"You hail from the Longevity Immortal Palace?"    

The moment the black and white Immortal Venerables spoke, an intense coldness burst forth from Yellow Springs Immortal King, draining the color from their faces. They shivered as if plunged into a frigid cellar.    

He quickly clarified, "Please, Yellow Springs Immortal King, hear me out. I was indeed once with the Longevity Immortal Palace, but I have since severed ties with them and founded the Rebirth Immortal Palace within the Longevity Immortal Domain."    

The might of an immortal king was truly formidable.    

Despite the destruction of Yellow Springs Immortal King's physical form and the suppression of his immortal soul for eons, he remained an adversary beyond confrontation.    

"Oh? A defector from the Longevity Immortal Palace? How intriguing."    

The oppressive aura of Yellow Springs Immortal King vanished in an instant.    

He regarded Black and White Immortal Venerable with a detached gaze. "Explain your reasons for seeking me out."    

"We are in search of an Immortal King willing to form an alliance..."    

Without hesitation, the black and white Immortal Venerables quickly divulged their intentions to Yellow Springs.    

"The fall of the Longevity Immortal King is a development I never anticipated. It brings me great pleasure."    

A sardonic smile played on Yellow Springs Immortal King's lips as he addressed Black and White Immortal Venerable. "I accept your proposal. Release me from this seal, and I shall aid you in eliminating the heir of the Longevity Immortal King and in the destruction of the Longevity Immortal Palace."    

The Black and White Immortal Venerable paused briefly before saying, "Immortal King, there's one more condition I must mention..."    

The Yellow Spring Immortal King appeared to read the Black and White Immortal Venerable's mind and responded calmly, "Rest assured. With the Longevity Immortal King no longer in the picture, the Longevity Immortal Domain holds no interest for me. Once I've dealt with the Longevity Immortal Palace, I'll take my leave."    

"Thank you, Immortal King. I'll break the seal now and assist you in your escape."    

With those words, the Black and White Immortal Venerable's consciousness faded away before the Yellow Spring Immortal King.    

Simultaneously, outside the valley, the Black and White Immortal King snapped to attention. His eyes scanned the sky, and he swiftly executed a series of intricate palm seals that spread in every direction. Finally, he produced a green token and thrust it deep into the valley's heart.    

A thunderous rumble echoed as the valley itself seemed to roar, shaking heaven and earth. An immensely terrifying presence burst forth, skyrocketing from the valley's depths and causing the very sky to tremble. The figure of the Immortal Venerable Yellow Spring materialized above the valley.    

In that instant, nearly everyone within the Longevity Immortal Domain found themselves irresistibly drawn to gaze upward at the sky-quaking aura.    

"Only an Immortal King can stir the Immortal Domain with mere thought."    

"An Immortal King Realm expert has emerged in the Longevity Immortal Domain... How can this be?"    

The onlookers were rooted to the spot, overwhelmed by the sight. Since the Longevity Immortal King had vanished, no one of the Immortal King Realm had been present in the domain. Where had this formidable presence come from?    

Within the Longevity Immortal Palace, Lu Xiaoqing and the others were acutely aware of the aura's emergence as well.    

"Why would the aura of an Immortal King Realm expert manifest in the Longevity Immortal Domain? What could this Immortal King possibly need here?" Lu Xiaoqing mused, her brow furrowed in concern.    

Standing next to her, a white-haired elder with a face that belied his age peered intently at the aura above. With a grave tone, he declared, "Young master, unless I am mistaken, we are witnessing the aura of the Yellow Spring Immortal King."    

Lu Xiaoqing was taken aback. "Yellow Springs Immortal King?"    

"The Yellow Springs Immortal King was a formidable Immortal King who once struck fear into the hearts of many in the Immortal Execution Archipelago. Eventually, he was sealed by the Palace Lord himself. It's surprising that he's managed to return."    

The white-haired elder spoke gravely, "It must be the work of the Black White Immortal Venerable. He's the only one in the entire Longevity Immortal Palace who knows the location of the Yellow Springs Immortal King's seal."    

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoqing's face grew stern.    

The Yellow Springs Immortal King, once imprisoned by her Master, had now returned. She feared he would not let the Longevity Immortal Palace off lightly.    

Considering the current might of the Longevity Immortal Palace, they were ill-equipped to contend with an Immortal King.    

"Young master, remain calm. The Yellow Springs Immortal King's physical form was utterly destroyed, and his immortal soul has been under the palace master's suppression for years. His power is likely a shadow of its former self," the white-haired elder reassured her, noticing her concern.    

Suddenly, a buzz resonated from above, interrupting their conversation.    

A black shadow materialized in the sky and stepped forward, hovering over the Longevity Immortal Palace.    

This dark figure loomed, dominating the heavens and earth, and peered down at Lu Xiaoqing and her companions. "Who has succeeded the Longevity Immortal King?"    

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiaoqing stepped forward. "That would be me. Are you the Yellow Springs Immortal King, once restrained by my master?"    

"Indeed. The Longevity Immortal King shattered my immortal king's body and shackled my soul. Now that he is gone, you, his successor, shall bear the consequences," the Yellow Springs Immortal King declared coldly from above.    

"Prepare to meet your end," he said, extending a finger toward Lu Xiaoqing.    

Her expression shifted rapidly. A green seal, radiating an immense life force, materialized in front of her, intercepting the Yellow Springs Immortal King's deadly gesture.    

"Bang!"    

With a resounding crash, Lu Xiaoqing was catapulted three thousand meters, her beautiful face blanching in an instant.    

"Young master!"    

The expression of the white-haired old man shifted dramatically as he rushed to Lu Xiaoqing's aid, fixing a steely gaze on the Yellow Springs Immortal King hovering above.    

"The Longevity Seal, is it? Indeed, this Immortal King Magic Treasure is remarkable. It's a pity, though, that its wielder lacks strength."    

The Yellow Springs Immortal King shook his head in disappointment. With a casual flick of his wrist, a massive, chilling palm materialized from the Netherworld and bore down on Lu Xiaoqing once more.    

The old man's eyes narrowed sharply. As he braced himself to counterattack, a golden flame erupted out of thin air.    

Fueled by the wind, the flame rapidly expanded into a vast inferno. In mere moments, it reduced the oppressive netherworldly palm to ashes.
