World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Time flew by, and before long, three months had passed. During this period, Peter was wholly dedicated to his practice on the second floor of the Tower of Time, not resting for even a moment. While only three months had elapsed in the outside world, Peter had spent the equivalent of 25 years in deep cultivation on that floor.    

In those 25 years, Peter consumed an immense amount of cultivation resources, and his efforts paid off. He achieved two consecutive breakthroughs, advancing from a First Grade Golden Immortal to the peak of Third Grade Golden Immortal, just shy of reaching the Fourth Grade.    

"Cultivating within the Golden Immortal realm is certainly more than ten times tougher than the Heavenly Immortal realm," Peter Parker reflected, opening his eyes after a long session. "Still, reaching the peak of the Third Grade Golden Immortal realm this time around is quite an accomplishment."    

Despite the progress being slightly less than he anticipated, Peter had indeed attained the peak of the Third Grade Golden Immortal realm. With his enhanced abilities, he could now effortlessly handle ordinary Seventh Grade Golden Immortals.    

"It's time to move on. The Star Pool will undoubtedly be seeking me out soon," he thought to himself. With that, Peter Parker swiftly exited the Tower of Time.    

Upon his departure, he immediately noticed significant changes within the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect. The sect had always struggled to develop due to a scarcity of resources. However, the recent acquisition of the immortal stone mine had dramatically increased the sect's financial strength, doubling the cultivation resources available to its disciples. As a result, many who had been struggling at a plateau in their cultivation were now achieving breakthroughs.    

Ling Yangcheng, in particular, had made remarkable progress, ascending to the peak of the sixth-grade Golden Immortal realm, a mere step away from the seventh grade.    

"Brother Jiang Chen, I'm considering an assault on the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect. What's your take on that?" Ling Yangcheng approached Peter Parker with this proposal shortly after Peter emerged from his seclusion.    

"Attack the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect?"    

Peter Parker couldn't help but smile at the suggestion. "Absolutely."    

It appeared that Ling Yangcheng's ambitions had grown since acquiring the immortal stone mine. He was now setting his sights on the Wind and Thunder Immortal Sect.    

However...    

This could actually work in favor of the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect's expansion.    

The Wind Lightning Immortal Sect was well-established. Taking them over would undoubtedly elevate the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect's power to unprecedented heights.    

With his current prowess, Peter was virtually unmatched by anyone below the seventh-grade Golden Immortal realm. The Wind Lightning Immortal Sect posed no real threat to him.    

Seeing Peter's approval, Ling Yangcheng wasted no time. He quickly rallied his forces and advanced towards the Wind and Thunder Immortal Sect.    

Before long...    

Peter and his companions reached a spatial zone three thousand meters from the Wind Lightning Immortal Sect.    

Hovering above the sect, Lei Tianchun glared at the unexpected visitors with intense anger. "Ling Yangcheng, you've crossed the line!"    

"Lei Tianchun, it's your Wind Lightning Immortal Sect that has overstepped," Ling Yangcheng retorted.    

"Remember, we agreed to settle the ownership of the immortal stone mine through a wager. Your sect lost, yet you conspired with the Green Mountain Immortal Sect to ambush and obliterate the Heaven Immortal Sect."    

Ling Yangcheng's smile was icy. "What's the matter? The Wind Thunder Immortal Sect can assault the Heavenly Immortal Sect, but we can't retaliate against the Wind Thunder Immortal Sect?"    

Lei Tianchun's eyes blazed with fury. "Ling Yangcheng, don't underestimate my Wind Thunder Immortal Sect. We're not so easily manipulated. If you insist on this attack, I assure you, your Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect will suffer dearly for it!"    

"Sect Master Ling, why even bother with this exchange?" Peter interjected. "Let's not waste any more time. Finish this quickly."    

He stepped forward, looking down at Lei Tianchun with a detached gaze. "You have ten breaths to decide. Surrender, or meet your end!"    

"Such shameless boasting!"    

Lei Tianchun sneered coldly, "Kid, you may have monstrous talent and unparalleled combat strength, but you're still out of your league if you think you can kill me."    

He had witnessed the boy's fight against Cang Yuan with his own eyes.    

The kid was only capable of holding his own against a sixth-grade Golden Immortal. The idea of him killing one was simply out of the question.    

"If this were three months ago, I might have had a hard time killing you."    

Peter Parker regarded Lei Tianchun with a cool indifference and declared confidently, "But now, taking you down would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"    

Lei Tianchun let out a derisive snort. "Really? Show me how you plan to kill me today!"    

"You had your chance to live, but you squandered it."    

Peter Parker shook his head as a fearsome palm print, powerful enough to unsettle the heart, materialized in his hand.    

Lei Tianchun's face twisted in alarm at the sight of Peter Parker's palm print.    

He had used this supreme immortal seal in his battle with Cang Yuan, a peak Sixth Grade Golden Immortal. Now, its power was exponentially more formidable than before.    

Even Lei Tianchun could feel the palpable danger emanating from the palm seal at that moment.    

Without a moment's hesitation, Lei Tianchun unleashed a thunderous roar and the full might of a sixth-tier Golden Immortal surged within him. A pair of massive wings, woven from wind and lightning, sprang forth on his back.    

With a metallic "clang," Lei Tianchun spread his wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He traced a long arc of lightning across the sky as he hurtled towards Peter Parker.    

His wings, shimmering with lightning, sliced through the air like two fearsome blades of lightning, leaving behind twin spatial rifts three kilometers long.    

Lei Tianchun was moving with blistering speed.    

Intent on preempting Peter Parker's dreadful attack, Lei Tianchun was determined to strike first and seize the advantage, denying Peter any opportunity to launch his own assault.    

However...    

Despite Lei Tianchun's swift advance, Peter Parker was not to be outdone.    

As Lei Tianchun burst through the void and approached, Peter Parker calmly raised his hand and delivered a seemingly effortless palm strike.    

"Crack!"    

Lei Tianchun's full-force attack stood no chance against Peter Parker's mighty Heavenly Emperor Seal.    

Struck as though by a sledgehammer, Lei Tianchun's body froze in place. His massive Wind Lightning Wings shattered mid-air, emitting a cacophony of splintering noises.    

Droplets of golden blood, befitting a Golden Immortal, floated in the void like rain.    

"Splat!"    

A gush of blood erupted from Lei Tianchun's mouth. He was hurled backward, his body resembling a kite whose string had been cut, and he tore through the void, leaving behind a vast black hole.    

His complexion was ghostly white, his energy depleted, his internal organs damaged, and blood drenched his entire form. His immortal soul had not been spared from grave harm.    

Peter Parker's formidable strike had left Lei Tianchun critically wounded, teetering on the brink of death.    

Lifting his head, he gazed at the triumphant figure before him, and a sense of unfathomable fear crept into his eyes.    

Merely three months prior, this adversary was only on par with a Sixth Grade Golden Immortal.    

Yet, in a mere three months, he had grown powerful enough to defeat him with a single move.    

How could this be possible?
