World's Strongest Martial Warrior

3Outside the Primeval Immortal Pond, near the Sword Extinguishing Palace, tens of thousands of figures had gathered, yet the atmosphere remained serene. Time seemed to slip by unnoticed, and before anyone realized it, three months had swiftly passed.    

    

Most of those present, with the exception of a few Great Luo Immortal Venerables, were eagerly soaking up the energy radiating from the Immemorial Immortal Pond. During this time, numerous individuals on the cusp of a breakthrough had successfully shattered their limitations.    

    

"It's been nearly three months now," mused Immortal Reverent Juechen, gazing at the Immemorial Immortal Pond. "I'm curious as to when we'll see the first person break through and gain entry."    

    

Beside him, a Great Luo Immortal Reverent shook his head, "I wouldn't expect it to happen so quickly. Sword Cultivator Leng may be exceptionally talented, but I doubt he surpasses the most distinguished figure in the history of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace."    

    

Having faced the challenge of the Immemorial Immortal Pond in their youth, they were well aware of the formidable task of reaching it successfully. Considering Sword Cultivator Leng's talent and prowess, it would be quite an achievement if he managed to enter the pond within six months.    

    

However, just as the words of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable from the Supreme Sword Immortal Palace trailed off, a brilliant burst of immortal light exploded from the mountain ahead.    

    

Immortal Venerable Juechen's eyes widened in shock. "This is... Has someone actually entered the Immemorial Immortal Pond?"    

    

"How... How can this be?" The Great Luo Immortal Venerable beside him was rendered speechless, struggling to believe what he was witnessing. He had just remarked on the time it would likely take for a sword cultivator to enter the Primeval Immortal Pond, only to have his words contradicted in the very next moment.    

    

It was noteworthy that less than three months had elapsed since the opening of the Primeval Immortal Pond. In essence, the individual who had entered the Immemorial Immortal Pond had just set a new record in the annals of the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace, becoming the fastest ever to pass the test and gain access.    

    

Leng Jian's rise to the top of the younger generation within the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace was no small feat, given his remarkable abilities. Yet, even he might struggle to rank among the top five when compared to the historical array of prodigies from the Palace.    

    

How, then, could Leng Jian have possibly passed the rigorous test and gained entry to the Immemorial Immortal Pond in under three months?    

    

The sudden tumult emanating from the colossal, 100,000-foot-tall immortal mountain caused a stir among the spectators in the arena.    

    

"The Primeval Immortal Pond is stirring – that's the unmistakable sign that someone has been granted access!"    

    

"Is this even possible? Less than three months have passed. Surely, even Senior Brother Leng Jian couldn't have gained entry to the Immemorial Sword Pond in such a brief time, could he?"    

    

The disciples of the Sword Extinguishing Palace gazed at the immortal mountain, their faces a picture of disbelief, as if they had just seen an apparition.    

    

Someone entering the Immemorial Immortal Pond in under three months was unprecedented, shattering the long-standing records of the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace.    

    

Despite Leng Jian's exceptional talent, it seemed inconceivable that he could surpass the legendary geniuses from the annals of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace.    

    

"Wow... to enter the Immemorial Immortal Pond in less than three months, that's the mark of a truly extraordinary genius."    

    

Beiming Quan looked up at the radiant light cascading down from the immortal mountain, marveling silently at the sight.    

    

The Northern Ocean Immortal Palace had vied for entry to the Immemorial Immortal Pond more than once. Beiming Quan had witnessed the most formidable genius from the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace take a full six months to secure entry.    

    

During the last opportunity to access the Immemorial Immortal Pond, only one of the five prodigies from the Northern Ocean Immortal Palace managed to earn the coveted spot after a year of effort.    

    

These instances highlighted the extreme challenge posed by the test of the Immemorial Immortal Pond.    

    

Now, with someone achieving entry in less than three months, it was clear they were witnessing the rise of a genius defying the very limits of heaven.    

    

A skeptical look crept across the Northern Underworld Spring's face as he marveled with a sigh. He had indeed seen the top sword cultivator of the Sword Extinguishing Palace, the Cold Sword, in action. Yet, this individual didn't seem significantly stronger than the premier disciple of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace from three millennia ago. With his current level of skill, it was highly unlikely he could gain entry to the Primeval Immortal Pond in under three months.    

    

But aside from Sword Cultivator Leng, who else could possibly surpass him in speed and pass the test to access the Primeval Immortal Pond? "Wait... It couldn't be Peter Parker, could it?" A sudden realization struck Northern Underworld Spring, causing him to inhale sharply.    

    

He had indeed provided Peter Parker with a slot to the Sword Extinguishing Palace and had personally escorted him there, yet his knowledge of Parker was limited. The sole instance he had observed Peter Parker's combat prowess was during the clash between Parker and Leng Xinghuan.    

    

In that battle, Peter Parker, with his nascent Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal cultivation, had effortlessly overpowered Leng Xinghuan, a peak Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal, showcasing his extraordinary talent and power.    

    

Nevertheless, despite the young prodigy's monstrous abilities, he was not yet a match for the frigid sword cultivator of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace.    

    

As Northern Underworld Spring wrestled with his astonishment, a celestial voice began to drift down from the heavens. "Peter Parker of the Northern Profound Immortal Palace has passed the test. He took just two months and twenty days to enter the Immemorial Immortal Pond!" The voice echoed endlessly above the Immortal Palace of Absolute Sword, leaving everyone in a prolonged state of disbelief.    

    

"It really is that kid!" Beiming Quan couldn't help but let out a bitter chuckle, murmuring under his breath. "Incredible... The one to first pass the test and enter the Primeval Immortal Pond isn't Senior Leng after all."    

    

"Peter Parker from the Northern Chill Immortal Palace is truly formidable."    

    

The disciples of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace were taken aback. The might of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace was considered far inferior to that of their own illustrious Sword Extinguishing Palace.    

    

Over the past few years, the North Chill Immortal Palace consistently sent five of its brightest to vie for a spot at the Immemorial Immortal Pond, yet their presence was hardly felt. Typically, only one or two would manage to secure a place.    

    

This year, however, a prodigy emerged from the North Chill Immortal Palace. Not only did he gain first access to the Immemorial Immortal Pond, but he also shattered previous records. It was truly beyond belief!    

    

"Peter Parker from the North Chill Immortal Palace?" Venerable Juechen's eyes sparkled with intrigue as he turned to Immortal Sovereign Absolute Life. "Is it really him?"    

    

With a solemn nod, Immortal Sovereign Absolute Life confirmed, "Indeed, it's very likely to be him."    

    

Immortal Reverent Absolute Life inhaled sharply.    

    

Before the Immemorial Immortal Pond opened, the Absolute Monarch had informed him of an extraordinary talent who had perfected the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Art and had recently joined the North Chill Immortal Palace. This individual was a prime candidate to inherit the legacy of the Absolute Sword Immortal King.    

    

Immortal Reverent Juechen had intended to investigate further after the Immemorial Immortal Pond event concluded.    

    

He had not anticipated that someone connected to the Sword Extinguishing Immortal King would demonstrate such fearsome prowess and strength, setting a new benchmark in the annals of the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace and being the first to step into the Immemorial Immortal Pond.    

    

Should Peter Parker indeed be a scion of the Absolute Sword Immortal King, it could prove fortuitous for their sect.
