Yet, Cang Shi had already inflicted severe wounds on the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect's third-grade Golden Immortal. With two third-grade Golden Immortals on their side, the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect only needed to hold off this upstart. Overcoming the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect would then be effortless.
"Attack!" The lead third-grade Golden Immortal from the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect clearly grasped Cang Shi's strategy. He spearheaded the charge as the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect advanced on their Heaven-Cleaving counterparts.
Ling Zhong's face registered alarm, and he swiftly commanded his sect members to assume a defensive formation. But with the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect already at a disadvantage and Ling Zhong critically injured, how could they hope to repel the onslaught from the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect?
The situation deteriorated rapidly. The Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect was compelled to fall back, incurring substantial casualties under the relentless assault.
Peter Parker's brow creased in concern. As he prepared to intervene, Cang Shi bellowed. A pale yellow light suffused his body, channeling the immense power of a Heavenly Immortal into his black iron greatsword with tempestuous force.
A thunderous "Rumble!" echoed as a sword light capable of rending the very fabric of space burst forth from the greatsword, cleaving the heavens and earth as it hurtled towards Peter Parker.
"You're asking for trouble!" Peter Parker's gaze grew icy. The Skyfrost Immortal Sword's radiance pierced the sky, and the azure-garbed sword immortal cut through the firmament with a decisive slash.
In that instant, two fearsome sword lights clashed once more. The space within tens of thousands of feet fractured, spiraling into a vast black hole. A maelstrom of spatial tempests raged within, while sword wind storms radiated from the epicenter of the clash, sweeping across the area in all directions.
Cang Shi's figure shuddered as he was forced back a hundred steps through the air, his face turning pale.
Struggling to suppress the tumultuous Qi within him, he slowly lifted his gaze to meet Peter Parker's. "Kid, I must concede that your talent is rather unsettling, and you're indeed a prodigious genius. But don't think for a moment that defeating me will be a simple task."
The sheer power of the young man before him had truly surpassed Cang Shi's expectations.
Despite his own status as a peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, he found himself overpowered by this youngster!
Yet...
Cang Shi still held the formidable strength of a peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal. The energy of the Golden Immortal coursed robustly through him.
Confident in his own abilities, he believed he could hold off Peter Parker long enough to give the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect an opportunity to vanquish the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect.
"Is that so?" Peter Parker's eyes blazed with a deadly resolve. "Cang Shi, are you under the impression that I lack the power to end you?"
As his icy words dissipated, Peter Parker's Qi underwent a dramatic transformation. An overwhelming immortal pressure, enough to make one's heart skip a beat, radiated from his being.
The sudden emergence of this formidable immortal pressure left Ling Yangcheng and Lei Tianchun, locked in combat within the void's expanse, utterly astounded.
"Great Luo Immortal Force, how... how can this be?"
With an unspoken agreement, they both retreated a hundred miles, turning their attention to the source of the aura below.
Upon realizing that the Great Luo Immortal Pressure was emanating from Peter Parker, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Lei Tianchun, it looks like you've truly outdone yourself this time. To think you sought the aid of a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal from the Cangshan Immortal Sect," Ling Yangcheng remarked with a frosty smirk. "But even with such measures, I fear your Wind Thunder Immortal Sect stands little chance against my Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect today."
Though Ling Yangcheng maintained a facade of calm, inwardly he couldn't help but rejoice.
A peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal—within the entire Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect, he alone could stand against such a force.
The Heavens had indeed favored the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect, bestowing upon them the extraordinary Peter Parker—a prodigy whose talents defied the very skies. At a pivotal moment, he arrived to confront the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal from the Green Mountain Immortal Sect.
Otherwise...
The Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect might have been doomed to repeat the errors of its past.
Lei Tianchun's face darkened upon hearing Ling Yangcheng's words. He had expended a great deal to enlist Cang Shi, a formidable peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, from the Green Mountain Immortal Sect. He had been confident that...
If he could just keep Ling Yangcheng at bay, Cang Shi would easily lead the Wind Thunder Immortal Sect to victory over the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect.
However...
While his aspirations were lofty, the harshness of reality could not be denied.
He could never have anticipated that the enigmatic youth in black, who had only recently joined the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect, would be so formidable as to thwart Cang Shi, a peak Fourth Grade Golden Immortal.
At present, that same individual had unleashed the fearsome Immortal Force of a Great Luo Immortal. It seemed plausible that he held the ace of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable.
Even Cang Shi, a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, appeared to be in peril.
"How can he emanate the aura of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable? This is inconceivable!"
Feeling the overwhelming Great Luo Immortal Pressure radiating from Peter Parker, Cang Shi's face was stricken with terror.
As the direct recipient of Peter Parker's Great Luo Immortal Pressure, Cang Shi was acutely aware that this was not merely some legacy left by the Great Luo Immortal Venerable. It was, in fact, the genuine Great Luo Immortal Pressure emanating from Peter Parker himself!
How could this apparent half-step Golden Immortal wield the Great Luo Immortal Pressure?
Could it be...
Was this actually a Great Luo Immortal Venerable in the guise of a half-step Golden Immortal?
Fear gripped Cang Shi's heart, the dreadful pressure almost suffocating him, rendering his body immobile.
And in that moment...
The Skyfrost Immortal Sword in Peter Parker's grasp ascended towards the heavens. With a flourish, he summoned the Azure Emperor Sword once more, calling forth an azure-clad sword immortal to deliver a sky-cleaving strike upon Cang Shi!
Bang!
The sword transcended space and time in an instant, striking Cang Shi and reducing him and the space around him to nothingness.
A fourth-tier Golden Immortal, Cang Shi, was no more.
In that moment, the world fell silent.
Spectators gaped at the spectacle, as if they had witnessed a phantom, struggling to shake off their astonishment.
It was beyond belief.
Cang Shi, a formidable Fourth Grade Golden Immortal from the Cangshan Immortal Sect, had been vanquished by a mere half-step Golden Immortal.
"With my current power, it seems defeating a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal might be my limit," Peter Parker mused, shaking his head in the aftermath of his victory.
He had initially used the Great Luo's formidable presence to unnerve Cang Shi, then seized the moment to end him with a single, decisive stroke of his sword.
Otherwise, to defeat Cang Shi, he might have had to resort to the power of the immortal tablet.
This confrontation gave Peter Parker a clearer sense of his combat capabilities.
With his present strength, he could handle a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal without breaking a sweat. Yet, should he face a Fifth Grade Golden Immortal, he feared that even with all his resources, he might only just manage to defend himself.
