World's Strongest Martial Warrior

With Lei Ao's icy command, the 99 streaks of golden lightning that had been repelled coalesced into a single force as he formed a hand seal. In the blink of an eye, a golden blade wheel, more radiant than the sun itself, materialized from nowhere. It bore down from the heavens, causing the space above Peter Parker's head to fracture repeatedly.    

Peter Parker simply raised his hand and delivered a slash. "Bang!" The descending blade wheel, unable to withstand the might of his sword, split in two and shattered into fragments. The remnants of the blade's light ripped through the void, scattering in every direction.    

Lei Ao's frame trembled violently, as if struck by a massive force, and he was hurled three hundred meters back in an instant.    

Having repelled Lei Ao with a single sword strike, Peter Parker looked on with cool detachment and said, "You can't even withstand a single blow. You should all attack together."    

Witnessing this, Lei Qi and the others couldn't help but show signs of alarm. Even Lei Tianchun's gaze darkened suddenly. Lei Ao was the strongest among them, yet even he couldn't face Peter Parker head-on. It seemed unlikely that any of them could match Peter in single combat.    

"This kid is incredibly strong. Don't hesitate—let's go at him together!" Lei Qi inhaled deeply.    

Peter Parker's strength had far surpassed their expectations. If they didn't join forces, they feared they would each fall to him, one by one.    

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"    

At that moment, Lei Ao, stripped of his prior arrogance by Peter Parker's sword, joined Lei Qi and the other three in a simultaneous assault.    

Each of the five possessed the battle prowess of a half-step Golden Immortal. United in their attack, their combined power was truly fearsome, enough to make even First Grade Golden Immortals take pause.    

In the expanse above, the blade wheel sliced through the sky, sword light blazed, the sun and moon streaked overhead, and the tempests and lightning obliterated all in their path. Immortal Arts of incredible power emerged from the ether.    

In the vast emptiness, a myriad of Immortal Arts converged into a tumultuous sea, shaking the very fabric of heaven and earth. A barrage of violent energies surged wildly toward Peter Parker, painting a scene of cataclysmic proportions. The spectacle prompted solemn expressions from the Golden Immortals witnessing the event, save for Ling Yangcheng and Lei Tianchun.    

Yet, amidst this chaos, Peter Parker was unfazed. With a laugh, he declared, "Haha... Perfect timing!" In a flash, his body transformed into a radiant sword rainbow that pierced the sky, diving straight into the roiling energy maelstrom.    

Peter Parker's own understanding of his combat prowess was nebulous at best. As a Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal, he had once overpowered a half-step Golden Immortal with sheer force. Now, having ascended to the Ninth Grade Heaven Immortal status, his strength had multiplied exponentially.    

Despite the vast chasm between the ranks of Golden Immortal and Heaven Immortal, and while Peter could no longer leap across five or six tiers as he once could, subduing a Second Grade Golden Immortal was still trivial for him. The combined onslaught of Lei Ao and his three compatriots, formidable as it was, likely didn't measure up to that of a Second Grade Golden Immortal.    

"Boom!" The energy sea erupted.    

Merging with his sword, Peter Parker became an awe-inspiring beam of light that shattered the void. A dazzling array of sword beams, infused with the forces of the sun, moon, and wind, burst forth, leaving the onlookers in stunned silence.    

"Bang!" The void detonated, instantly reduced to chaos.    

In the blink of an eye, Lei Ao and his allies were hurled from the chaotic void, looking utterly defeated. Their faces drained of color, they stared at Peter Parker with a mix of horror and disbelief.    

Powerful! The might of the man before them was nothing short of fearsome. Despite their united front, they couldn't withstand even a single blow from him.    

"Damn it, we've been duped!" Lei Tianchun's face contorted with frustration.    

In that moment, the truth dawned on Lei Tianchun. He realized why Ling Yangcheng had been bold enough to propose such a wager. He had discovered a prodigy of monstrous talent. The combat strength of a ninth-grade Heaven Immortal surpassed even that of a second-grade Golden Immortal.    

Such a prodigy was a rarity, even within the vast realms of the Great Luo. Only a sect as formidable as the Taiyi could possibly cultivate such an extraordinary talent.    

The Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect was known merely as a Golden Immortal sect, making it seemingly impossible for them to be associated with such an unparalleled prodigy. Lei Tianchun was at a loss as to how the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect had unearthed such an extraordinary talent.    

In contrast to the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect, Ling Yangcheng and his peers from the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect were brimming with ecstatic joy. They had previously gauged Peter Parker's prowess, recognizing his exceptional combat abilities, but they had never anticipated him to be this formidable. Against five opponents, Peter Parker managed to effortlessly dominate the members of the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect single-handedly.    

Per the prior arrangement, victory for Peter Parker would mean that all the immortal mines in the vicinity would fall under the ownership of the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect.    

"Set up the formation. Don't attack individually," commanded a half-step Golden Immortal, taking a deep breath as energy coursed through him once again.    

Lei Ao and his companions launched their assault as well. Utilizing the force of the five elements, their auras intertwined, seemingly fusing into a single entity. A surge of overwhelming energy, embodying the might of heaven and earth, barreled towards Peter Parker.    

"This is hardly sufficient to challenge me," Peter Parker declared, shaking his head. With a simple sweep of the Skyfrost Immortal Sword, he executed the Green Emperor Sword Technique, Mortality Transformation Sword. The strike, though appearing unremarkable and silent, was imbued with a mysterious power that instantly neutralized the formidable force hurtling towards him, causing it to evaporate into oblivion.    

The formidable aura that the quintet had amalgamated using their formation shattered with an explosive sound. Lei Ao and the others' faces blanched as they were hurled hundreds of meters through the air, coughing up blood involuntarily.    

Raising their heads, they gazed upon the figure standing beyond the sword, their shock rippling through them like waves. The might of the young man clad in black was beyond their comprehension. Even with their combined strength, they found themselves effortlessly overpowered.    

"Do you still wish to continue the fight?" Peter Parker's voice, cool and detached, echoed from above as he looked down at Lei Ao and the others.    

Should we continue the battle?    

Exchanging glances, the five adversaries could only muster a bitter laugh within the depths of their hearts.    

Even when the five of them combined their strength to form a formation, they couldn't make the slightest dent in their opponent's defenses. Was there any point in continuing the battle?    

"Well played, Ling Yangcheng. I've clearly underestimated you. I never anticipated that you'd manage to enlist such a prodigy to assist you. The Wind Thunder Immortal Sect concedes defeat in this wager."    

Lei Tianchun's voice, heavy with disappointment, filled the air.    

He had been too reckless with this bet.    

Ling Yangcheng offered a slight smile and responded, "Lei Tianchun, a bet is a bet. You must accept your loss gracefully. Please, take your leave with your Wind Lightning Immortal Sect members."    

"Let's go!" Lei Tianchun shot Ling Yangcheng a frosty look. Without further ado, he led his sect away, vanishing into the distance as they retreated across the horizon.
