World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Members of the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect who had taken part in the gambling match gaped at the sudden appearance of Peter Parker. Their faces were etched with shock and disbelief.    

Previously, this very individual had single-handedly taken on five opponents during the gambling match with the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect. That feat alone was astounding.    

But now, he had managed to thwart Cang Shi's strike!    

It was common knowledge that Cang Shi hailed from the elite Golden Immortal faction, the Cangshan Immortal Sect, with a cultivation base at the zenith of the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal.    

Even a Third Grade Golden Immortal like Ling Zhong stood no chance against him.    

Moreover, this young man hadn't even ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm. How could he wield such formidable power?    

"Half-step Golden Immortal?"    

Cang Shi's gaze narrowed as he scrutinized the black-clad youth who had parried his attack. "Who are you, exactly?"    

A Half-step Golden Immortal possessed the prowess to challenge a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal.    

Not just any Golden Immortal faction, like the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect, but even the most prestigious Great Luo factions in the Bedlam Lands would struggle to nurture such a prodigy.    

The conclusion was inescapable.    

This youth before him was certainly not affiliated with the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect!    

It appeared that the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect had secured a powerful ally this time around.    

"Peter, be cautious. This individual is from the Cangshan Immortal Sect, and his cultivation base has peaked at the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal level."    

Ling Zhong snapped back to reality and urgently cautioned Peter Parker.    

Peter Parker remained silent. The chaotic sword shadows that trailed behind him blazed with intensity. His indestructible sword Qi sliced through the immortal mountain.    

*Chi Chi Chi...*    

A vast fissure branched out across the immortal mountain like a spider's web.    

In a mere moment.    

The fissure enveloped the entire immortal mountain, triggering its explosion in the void.    

As the immortal mountain shattered, Cang Shi was forced to retreat three steps back into the void. His gaze, now fixed on Peter Parker, grew increasingly grave.    

He addressed Peter Parker with a stern look. "Given who you are, there's unlikely anything within the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect that could pique your interest, correct? I would ask that you refrain from intervening today. In return, the Cangshan Immortal Sect will compensate you generously."    

Given his talent and strength, he undoubtedly hailed from a prominent force within the Chaotic Earth Domain.    

Cang Shi remained cautious around such an individual. He preferred to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary, for fear that a careless move could spell doom for the Cangshan Immortal Sect.    

Peter Parker faced Cang Shi with a stoic expression. "I'm going to resolve the issue with the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect. Now, get out of my way."    

"Don't get ahead of yourself, sir!"    

Cang Shi's eyes flashed with anger upon realizing that Peter Parker was dismissing him.    

As a respected Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, he was incensed that a mere half-step Golden Immortal dared to overlook him.    

Despite the young man's unparalleled talent and formidable combat prowess, he was, at the end of the day, still a half-step Golden Immortal. How could Cang Shi not feel threatened?    

What truly concerned him was the power backing Peter Parker.    

Yet, a prodigy backed by such might typically wouldn't intervene unless their life was in jeopardy.    

Therefore, if he could overpower this individual without causing fatal harm, the supporting faction might not retaliate.    

"Yin!"    

Cang Shi's grip on his sword tightened. The pitch-black heavy sword vibrated with a resonant hum, as if an ancient beast had been roused from slumber.    

Boom!    

An overwhelming pressure burst forth from the sword.    

In an instant, the dense and formidable sword energy, as oppressive as a mountain, blanketed a thousand miles. The very fabric of space crumbled in its wake.    

Cang Shi glared at Peter Parker. "If you're willing to walk away now, I'll let you be. Otherwise, don't fault me for my discourtesy."    

Peter Parker lifted his head, his body radiating an intense desire to battle.    

"Enough talk. Let's fight. Today, I want to see if I can defeat a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal with my half-step Golden Immortal cultivation level!"    

Cang Shi's expression turned icy. Without another word, he brandished the black iron heavy sword with ferocity.    

"Boom!"    

The world seemed to shatter. The sun and moon appeared to plummet from the sky!    

The pitch-black sword light, cascading like a waterfall, tore through the void and whipped up chaos. It even summoned a lightning tribulation from the heavens, transforming into a lightning mountain thousands of feet tall that plummeted like meteors toward Peter Parker.    

Even the Golden Immortals present blanched in shock at the sight of the attack.    

Cang Shi's sword strike was terrifying beyond measure.    

A single Thunder Mountain plummeting from the sky could easily obliterate a first-grade Golden Immortal.    

Confronted with Cang Shi's earth-shattering assault, Peter Parker raised his sword, his brow furrowed in concentration. A sword light, soul-devouring in its intensity, spread through the void.    

"Immortal Killing Sword Art, Immortal Execution!"    

With a mighty slash, Peter Parker cleaved the air. Half of the heavens seemed to transform into an asura battlefield in an instant. The relentless killing sword Qi appeared capable of consuming all that existed.    

"Boom!"    

The slaughter sword Qi clashed with the deluge of Thunder Mountains, igniting a chain of explosions in the sky.    

A fearsome force radiated outward, shattering the layered barriers above the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect. Had it not been for these protections, meticulously erected by Ling Yang, the entire sect might have been laid to waste in a heartbeat.    

Elsewhere,    

The sheer power of the clash compelled several Golden Immortals from the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect to retreat over three thousand meters, distancing themselves from their own sect members.    

"Haha... Fourth-grade Golden Immortals, is that all you've got? Come at me again!"    

Peter Parker's laughter boomed. The lethal glow on his Skyfrost Immortal Sword intensified, and he launched another attack at Cang Shi.    

Cang Shi's face twisted with urgency as he swiftly raised his sword to parry Peter's onslaught.    

Boom! Boom! Boom!    

The two combatants unleashed their formidable Immortal Arts, their weapons meeting in a relentless barrage.    

In the void, colossal waves of energy surged and burst in a relentless tide.    

The sword beams sliced through chaos, cleaving the void in a display of fearsome power.    

"Bang!"    

Two more sword beams collided, and almost simultaneously, two figures were ejected from the maelstrom of sword energy.    

"Thankfully, he's reached the half-step Golden Immortal realm. Otherwise, facing off against a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal would be no simple feat."    

Peter Parker regained his composure and quelled the tumultuous Qi within him.    

Indeed, for those in the Golden Immortal realm, challenging a superior opponent was a daunting task.    

When he had been at the half-step Heavenly Immortal realm, facing an ordinary Sixth Grade Heavenly Immortal hadn't put much pressure on him. However, now that he had advanced to the half-step Golden Immortal realm, defeating the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal before him was still no easy feat.    

Meanwhile, Cang Shi grew increasingly astonished as the battle raged on. Despite his own status as a peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, he couldn't seem to gain the upper hand against the young man in black, who was merely half a step away from the Golden Immortal Realm. This encounter marked the first time in his life that Cang Shi had come face to face with such an extraordinary and unparalleled talent. He was baffled. The Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect was known as a second-tier Golden Immortal force at best. How on earth had they unearthed such an exceptional prodigy?
