World's Strongest Martial Warrior

However...    

Against the brilliant arc of the sword, the half-step Golden Immortal's strength was so feeble it resembled a thin sheet of paper, disintegrating upon the slightest contact.    

In just a moment.    

The sword's radiance obliterated the half-step Golden Immortal's power and struck his body with a resounding crash.    

"Bang!"    

The half-step Origin Immortal Realm expert grunted, his body flung like a kite with its string cut, crashing to the ground hundreds of meters away. He lay there unconscious, his fate uncertain—alive or dead.    

With a mere flick of his finger, he had effortlessly slain a Half-step Golden Immortal in an instant! A Golden Immortal!    

Thanks to the Chaos Dao Fruit, Peter Parker had not only ascended to the Seventh Grade Golden Immortal realm, but his mastery of the Immortal Force Controlling Heaven and Earth had also achieved Great Perfection.    

With his newfound might, subduing a half-step Great Luo was child's play.    

He could possibly even contend with a true Great Luo Immortal Venerable!    

"How... How is this possible?"    

Those witnessing the event were aghast, as if they had seen an apparition. They could scarcely trust their eyes.    

It was inconceivable that a respected Half-step Great Luo Realm expert would be vanquished instantly by the black-clad youth before them!    

"Rank seven Golden Immortal!"    

Jin Hongguang's eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment.    

Upon his arrival, he had seen this black-clad youth dispatch a seventh-grade Golden Immortal from the Golden Saber Immortal Sect with a single blow, despite only being a fourth-grade Golden Immortal himself.    

Little did he expect that after consuming the immortal fruit, Peter Parker's rank would surge by three levels, attaining the Seventh Grade Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop.    

Even the half-step Great Luo from the Golden Saber Sect had fallen to a single strike!    

This young man's combat prowess was now on par with a true Great Luo Immortal Venerable.    

"Jin Hongguang, who is this kid?"    

Daoist Crazy Wine fixed his gaze on Peter Parker, his expression growing increasingly grave.    

He contemplated retreat.    

The immortal fruit from the Immemorial Immortal Spring was undoubtedly remarkable. After consuming it, this individual achieved instant enlightenment, ascending from the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal realm to the Seventh Grade Golden Immortal realm. His talent was nothing short of extraordinary.    

Indeed, such prowess was befitting of a Quasi-Zenith Heaven Immortal Venerable, capable of grasping the Immortal Force and commanding the heavens and earth, despite only being a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal.    

What's more, the young man's exceptional talent was accompanied by a Supreme Grade Zenith Heaven Immortal puppet that could evolve. His background must be incredibly formidable.    

Daoist Crazy Wine, a solitary cultivator without any affiliations, had risen to become the most senior Great Luo Immortal Venerable in the Chaotic Domain through careful decision-making and prudence.    

His objective had been the immortal fruit cultivated by the Chaos Immortal Spring. However, with Peter Parker having consumed the fruit, there was no longer any reason to persist in his assault.    

Regarding the Chaos Immortal Spring, while it was a source of immense benefit to a Great Luo Immortal Venerable's cultivation, exclusive to the Chaos Immortal Sect, it was unattainable without a particular immortal treasure.    

With the major forces of the Chaotic Earth Domain converging on Fengqi Immortal Mountain, his status as an independent cultivator, despite his Great Luo Immortal Venerable strength, made competing for the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring an impractical endeavor.    

Thus, provoking the enigmatic youth clad in black was unnecessary.    

"Jin Hongguang, I shall take no further part in this affair. Farewell," declared Daoist Crazy Wine, before turning to depart.    

Jin Hongguang's face contorted with displeasure at this development.    

Together, he and Daoist Crazy Wine had struggled to overpower the Zenith Heaven Immortal-level puppet in a brief skirmish. Now, with the puppet's strength seemingly enhanced considerably, Daoist Crazy Wine's abrupt exit left Jin Hongguang with little hope of managing the threat on his own.    

Suddenly, a booming energy surge erupted from beyond the valley, unleashing an aura more scorching than the sun itself, engulfing the area in its fierce intensity.    

Suddenly, a group clad in red, emblazoned with the emblem of a blazing sun, materialized before Peter Parker and his companions. Their arrival instantly intensified the atmosphere of the entire valley, so much so that the ice and snow blanketing the ground began to thaw.    

Peter Parker couldn't help but sharpen his focus on the newcomers. Among them, the red-clothed individuals exuded formidable power, with no fewer than three Great Luo Immortal Venerables in their ranks. The elder leading them radiated a strength that seemed to rival that of Old Man Wild Wine.    

"Ardent Sun Immortal Palace!" Jin Hongguang and his group exchanged glances as they watched the unexpected arrival of these imposing figures, their expressions turning sour.    

The Ardent Sun Immortal Palace was a force to be reckoned with, one of the four ancient Immortal entities within the Chaotic Earth Domain. Boasting not only a Primordial Immortal Venerable but also a legion of Great Luo Immortal Venerables, their might was undeniable.    

For their expedition to Fengqi Immortal Mountain, the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace had dispatched three Great Luo Immortal Venerables, showcasing their significant strength. With their presence, the Golden Saber Immortal Sect's chances of securing the Chaos Immortal Spring dwindled.    

"Great Elder, the Chaos Immortal Spring has emerged here!" exclaimed one of the Great Luo Immortal Venerables, his gaze fixed on the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring, eyes alight with fervor.    

The Chaos Origin Immortal Spring, a treasure nurtured exclusively by the Chaos Origin Immortal Court, was a rarity that could only be encountered by fortune, not by deliberate search. Even if the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace had missed the Chasing Sun Mountain Range, securing the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring would make their venture worthwhile.    

"Ladies and gentlemen, this territory is under the dominion of the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace. I advise those who do not belong to depart immediately. Should you choose to stay, the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace will not be responsible for the consequences," declared the lead elder, his commanding voice echoing with an air of dominance that resonated with everyone present.    

Jin Hongguang's expression darkened. "Supreme Red Cloud, don't you think the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace is being rather heavy-handed?"    

"Even if the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace is heavy-handed, what can you possibly do about it?" retorted the red-robed elder, glancing at Jin Hongguang with a calm demeanor. "Jin Hongguang, if the Golden Saber Immortal Sect wishes to remain in the Bedlam Lands, I suggest you leave immediately!"    

In the Bedlam Lands, the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace recognized only the other three Primordial Immortal forces and the Profound Heaven Immortal Sect as its equals. The Golden Saber Immortal Sect hardly merited their consideration.    

Upon hearing the elder's dismissive words, Jin Hongguang's face contorted with displeasure. Reluctantly, he acknowledged that the Golden Saber Sect was no match for the might of the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace.    

Should they truly antagonize the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace, the Golden Saber Immortal Sect might find themselves without a foothold in the tumultuous region.    

"Let's go," Jin Hongguang commanded, inhaling deeply. Without further ado, he led his followers from the Golden Saber Immortal Sect out of the valley in silence.
