World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Without a word, Peter Parker turned his palm over, conjuring a Heavenly Emperor Seal.    

The lightning shadow's eyes narrowed in recognition. "Heavenly Emperor Seal... are you the Imperial Prince?"    

Peter Parker nodded affirmatively. "I've visited Tianxuan Hall in the past. Mo Xuan from the Hall entrusted me with this token."    

"After so many years, the prince has emerged. At last, there's hope for the Heavenly Emperor Palace," Lei Ying remarked, a spark of excitement evident in his gaze.    

Peter Parker relaxed his palm seal and inquired with a concerned expression, "Senior, what exactly transpired here in the Heavenly Thunder Hall? How did it fall into such disrepair? And where is the origin of the Heavenly Emperor?"    

Lei Ying explained with a heavy heart, "In the ancient calamity, the Heavenly Thunder Hall was commanded to vanish from sight, safeguarding the Heavenly Emperor's origin while awaiting the birth of an Imperial Prince."    

He continued with a rueful chuckle, "But then, a Devil King from the Primordial Devil Palace descended upon us, laying waste to the Hall in one swift blow and seizing the Heavenly Emperor's origin."    

Peter Parker's expression grew tense upon hearing this. The Heavenly Thunder Hall's essence had indeed been stolen by the Primordial Devil Palace's forces.    

He even suspected that the essence left within the 36 branch palaces of the Heavenly Thunder Hall might not have been solely taken by the Primordial Devil Palace.    

"Imperial Prince, try not to fret excessively. As the Devil King took the Heavenly Emperor's origin, a mysterious figure from the Immortal World intervened. It's possible that this expert has already reclaimed the origin," Lei Ying reassured him.    

At that moment, Lei Ying spoke up again.    

"Oh?" A keen intensity sparked in Peter Parker's eyes. "Do you know the identity of this enigmatic expert?"    

"I'm afraid not," Lei Ying admitted, shaking his head. "However, the power this individual wields is formidable beyond measure, with mastery over the fearsome Space and Time Great Dao. With just a single move, he gravely wounded the Demon King. My instincts tell me that the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Heavenly Emperor Essence... is likely in that person's possession now."    

As Lei Ying's words faded, the ephemeral voice also dwindled away. It was evident that the speaker had passed away long ago, leaving only a lingering will within the lightning token. Now activated, it was on the brink of vanishing completely.    

"Imperial Prince, I trust you will gather the Heavenly Emperor Origin swiftly and restore the Heavenly Emperor Palace!" With those final words, the lightning apparition dissipated before Peter Parker.    

Peter gazed at the place where the figure had vanished, shaking his head in contemplation. The affairs of the Heavenly Emperor Palace were growing increasingly intricate. Securing the Heavenly Emperor's origin, whether seized by the devil race or the enigmatic Immortal World sage, was shaping up to be a formidable challenge.    

After all, this was the Immortal Emperor Origin Energy, a legacy of a venerable Immortal Emperor from ancient times—a coveted treasure that haunted the dreams of all in the Immortal World.    

Even if the mysterious expert reclaimed the source energy from the Ancient Devil Palace, relinquishing it to Peter might not be straightforward.    

Peter shook his head, dismissing these thoughts. With the Heavenly Thunder Hall's connection to the Heavenly Emperor lost, lingering there held no purpose. He promptly turned on his heel and departed, making his way toward the Devil Suppressing Immortal Domain.    

Two hours later, Peter's silhouette reappeared outside the Devil Suppressing Immortal City. A ferocious battle was underway; legions of devils surged toward the city from the Heavenly Devil Mountain. The city walls were stained crimson with blood, and the air within ten thousand miles reeked of carnage.    

"Something unforeseen has indeed transpired at the Heavenly Demon Mountain," Peter mused, his eyes narrowing at the chaotic vista.    

The conflict wasn't just between the Devil Suppressing Immortal City and the Heavenly Devil Mountain; Peter could sense two formidable presences clashing in the vast expanse of the void. If he was correct, these were likely the Immortal King Realm adepts of the Devil Suppressing Immortal Palace and the Devil King Realm luminaries of the Heavenly Devil Mountain.    

With an impassive countenance, Peter alighted upon the city wall in an instant. With a mere gesture, he obliterated the horde of devils before him, reducing them to dust.    

"It's you!"    

Standing beside Peter Parker, a burly man clad in golden armor was taken aback by Peter's sudden appearance.    

Peter Parker regarded the armored man with a cool gaze. "I warned you to tell the authorities in the Devil Suppression Immortal Domain to keep everyone away from Devil Mountain. I said something unusual would happen if you didn't. Clearly, you didn't heed my warning."    

The man in golden armor winced, an uncomfortable expression crossing his face.    

He had dismissed Peter Parker's request to pass on the message to the higher-ups of the Devil Suppressing Immortal Palace when Peter had first visited the Devil Suppressing Immortal City. To his surprise, Devil Mountain indeed underwent a strange transformation shortly after Peter's departure.    

Peter Parker spared the armored man little attention. With a flick of his finger, he unleashed a flurry of sword lights, quelling the crisis threatening the Devil Suppressing Immortal City. Then, he plunged into the infinite expanse of the void.    

Deep within the void, two figures faced each other across a vast distance.    

One was a man with golden hair and a robe to match, his presence as imposing as a mountain, radiating the commanding aura of an Immortal King.    

He was the Immortal King Realm expert of the Demon Suppression Palace, known as the Demon Suppression Immortal King.    

Facing him was a devil king, shrouded in a terrifying miasma of devilish energy. His skin was ghostly pale, and his eyes were a deep, unbroken black, devoid of any white, exuding an abyssal darkness.    

"Yin Yang Devil King, it seems I've underestimated your Heavenly Devil Mountain. To think you would go to such lengths, paying a steep price to lift the ancient emperor's seal and resurrect the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace," the Devil Suppressing Immortal King said, his gaze heavy with foreboding.    

The Devil Suppressing Palace had been one of the most venerable Immortal Kings in the Immortal World, safeguarding the Sky Devil Mountain for countless years and harboring profound knowledge of the Immortal World's secrets.    

It had never crossed his mind that Devil Mountain would resort to a blood sacrifice, sparing no expense to break the ancient Great Sovereign's seal prematurely.    

The Yin Yang Devil King let out a cold laugh and declared, "Devil Suppressing Immortal King, the seal of the ancient Great Sovereign in your Immortal World is weakening. The masters from my Desolate Ancient Devil Palace will soon make their presence known. Your Immortal World stands no chance against them. Surrender now, and you might just spare yourself."    

"Yin Yang Devil King, enough talk. If it's a battle you want, then let's have at it!" came the retort.    

The Devil Suppressing Immortal King responded with a sneer, "Your Desolate Ancient Devil Palace has tried to conquer the Immortal World time and again. Have you ever truly succeeded? Our forebears managed to quell your uprisings, and we are more than capable of doing the same now."    

"Reject my offer of peace, and you'll face the consequences!"    

A sinister glow grew in the Yin Yang Devil King's eyes as a surge of demonic energy erupted from him.    

"Devil Suppressing Immortal King, if you're so intent on meeting your demise, then today, I, the King of Japan, will ensure that you and your Devil Suppressing Immortal Palace are erased from the Immortal World once and for all!"
