World's Strongest Martial Warrior

With the defense in place, Peter Parker commanded the Immortal King Corpse to keep watch. He then settled himself under a tree, legs crossed, and began to draw upon the power of the Chaos Immortal Spring to cultivate.    

Day one, day two, day three...    

Initially, Peter was on edge, half-expecting the mysterious snowball-throwing creature to reappear and disrupt his focus. But as time passed without incident, he shrugged off the concern and immersed himself in his cultivation.    

Though time didn't race by as swiftly as it did in the Tower of Time, the influence of the Chaotic Immortal Spring was profoundly beneficial. In a mere three days, both his cultivation base and his grasp of the Immortal Force, which commanded the elements of nature, had seen remarkable progress.    

The fourth day dawned, and Peter could sense an enigmatic energy faintly radiating from the Dao Fruit perched on the diminutive tree. This energy was so potent that Peter had to consciously hold back to avoid being swept into a spontaneous state of enlightenment.    

"This isn't a Dao Fruit born from the Chaos Immortal Spring!" he marveled internally.    

The mere leakage of Qi from the ripening fruit was enough to catapult one into enlightenment. The Dao Fruit before him was truly deserving of its reputation as a transcendent immortal fruit, one capable of creating a Great Luo Immortal Venerable.    

As Peter's gaze was fixed on the maturing fruit, a sudden explosion shattered the quiet. He looked up to see his protective formation blown apart. A cadre of figures, brimming with formidable Qi, tread across the snow and materialized before him in an instant.    

Upon glimpsing the Chaos Immortal Spring, their faces lit up with unbridled elation.    

"Immemorial Immortal Spring! The legendary Immemorial Immortal Spring!" they exclaimed.    

"It is said that only a Chaos Origin Immortal Reverent can cultivate a Chaos Origin Immortal Spring. To think it truly exists!"    

"The Chaos Origin Immortal Spring... it must be secured by my Golden Saber Immortal Sect!"    

The group seemed to completely disregard Peter Parker's presence, their gazes fixated on the Immemorial Immortal Spring with fervent intensity.    

In that moment, Feng Qianxing, who had been deeply immersed in cultivating with the help of the Immemorial Immortal Spring, snapped out of his meditative state and approached Peter Parker, his face etched with concern.    

"Who are they?" Peter Parker asked, narrowing his eyes in scrutiny. The newcomers were formidable; the three individuals leading the group appeared to be on par with Feng Qianxing in terms of strength. The golden-haired man at the forefront was particularly striking—a true Great Luo Immortal Venerable, no doubt.    

"They're from the Golden Saber Immortal Sect of the Great Luo," Feng Qianxing replied, his own expression growing serious.    

He was about to brief Peter Parker on the Golden Saber Immortal Sect when one of their half-step Great Luo members stepped forward, his voice icy and commanding as it reached both Peter and Feng Qianxing.    

"If you two have any sense, you'll get out of here. The Immemorial Immortal Spring is the property of our Golden Saber Sect!"    

Upon hearing this, Feng Qianxing's demeanor darkened. "Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain has always been under the stewardship of the Feng Family. Don't you think your Golden Saber Immortal Sect is being rather presumptuous?"    

"What Feng Family? Never heard of it. If you're so eager to meet your end, I'm happy to oblige," the Half-step Golden Immortal retorted with a sneer. He lunged forward, unleashing a punch that thundered through the air. A golden aura erupted, barreling towards Feng Qianxing with the ferocity of a tidal wave, visibly warping the space before him.    

Feng Qianxing's eyes contracted as he summoned his Origin Immortal Force, which burst forth, transforming into a dragon-like gust of wind to meet the oncoming golden assault.    

"Bang!"    

The collision resounded with a deafening crash, the wind dragon instantly dismantled by the golden force. Feng Qianxing staggered backward, each step reverberating through the valley. Struggling to contain the tumultuous energy within him, his face was a portrait of grim resolve.    

He found himself unable to resist glancing at Peter Parker, who stood confidently beside him. The half-step Great Luo from the Golden Saber Sect was clearly more powerful than he was, not to mention the presence of a true Great Luo Immortal Venerable before them. With his current abilities, it was an absolute impossibility to contend with the members of the Golden Saber Immortal Sect.    

"Keep it down. Dispose of these two quickly. I want this valley sealed off!" The golden-haired Great Luo Immortal Venerable commanded with a tone of indifference.    

"I'll take down that kid!" A seventh-grade Golden Immortal, standing behind the golden-haired Great Luo Immortal Venerable, charged at Peter Parker. Peter was poised in the sky above the Immemorial Immortal Spring, his hands nonchalantly clasped behind his back.    

His challenger was met with a casual flick of Peter Parker's sword qi. The seemingly unremarkable energy forced the seventh-grade Golden Immortal to sense an immediate danger, prompting him to swiftly retreat by several meters.    

Yet, he soon realized that Peter Parker's sword qi was not directed at him. Instead, it carved a long sword mark on the ground outside the Immemorial Immortal Spring, forming a barrier at the line.    

"What's your game, kid?" The Seventh Grade Golden Immortal squinted suspiciously.    

"Cross this line and you're dead," Peter Parker stated flatly, his attention returning to the Dao Fruit ripening on the small tree. He was intent on claiming it as soon as it was ready. While he had no desire to claim the Chaos Immortal Spring for himself, he was resolute in acquiring the Dao Fruit, a product of the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring.    

"Tsk tsk... Quite the bold statement, kid. What can you possibly do if I cross this line?" The seventh-grade Golden Immortal taunted, stepping forward and deliberately crossing the sword mark left by Peter Parker.    

"You're asking for it," Peter Parker said coolly, flicking his finger at the seventh-grade Golden Immortal.    

"Bang!" A thunderous sound erupted in the void as an invisible sword qi burst forth from Peter Parker's fingertip, materializing instantaneously above the seventh-grade Golden Immortal's head.    

As Peter Parker extended his finger, a beam of sword energy shot forth, causing the pupils of the seventh-grade Golden Immortal to shrink in alarm. The Golden Immortal's formidable power coalesced into an enormous golden blade shadow, rising to counter Peter Parker's assault.    

Yet, the mighty golden blade shadow was no match for the piercing sword qi emanating from Peter Parker's fingertip.    

In a mere moment, the sword qi sliced through the golden blade shadow and, before the seventh-grade Golden Immortal could even react, it impaled his chest. The immortal crystals within him were utterly obliterated by the relentless sword qi.    

With a thunderous "Boom!" the seventh-grade Golden Immortal was reduced to a lifeless body, crashing down to the earth with a heavy thud.    

The onlookers from the Golden Blade Immortal Sect couldn't help but subtly shift their expressions at the sight. The swift demise of a tier 7 Golden Immortal suggested that the mysterious man clad in black before them possessed the formidable strength of at least a tier 8 Golden Immortal, if not the exalted might of a tier 9 Golden Immortal.
