As the members of the Golden Saber Immortal Sect departed, Red Cloud Immortal's attention shifted to Daoist Insane Wine.
Daoist Insane Wine took a hearty swig from his wine gourd, slipping back into his inebriated demeanor. "Rest assured, I know my place. I have no designs on the Chaos Immortal Spring."
With those words, he turned and sauntered out of the valley.
Red Cloud Immortal Venerable watched Daoist Insane Wine's retreating figure, then turned her impatient gaze toward Peter Parker and Feng Qianxing. "Are you two deaf? Scram, unless you're looking for trouble!"
"Young Master Peter Parker, perhaps we should withdraw for now?"
Feng Qianxing, observing the tension, quietly suggested to Peter Parker.
The Ardent Sun Immortal Palace was a formidable force, one of the four Grand Unity powers within the Chaotic Earth Domain. Red Cloud Immortal herself was among the most esteemed Great Luo Immortal Venerables in the domain.
Moreover...
Beyond Supreme Red Cloud, there were two additional Great Luo Immortal Venerables from the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace present.
Feng Qianxing was aware that Peter Parker's innate abilities and backing might very well eclipse those of a Primordial expert from the Palace of Ardent Sun.
However, as the adage goes, even a mighty dragon struggles to overpower a local serpent.
In this tumultuous territory, it seemed unlikely that Peter Parker could effectively contend with the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace.
"If you think you can order me around, think again. Who do you take yourself for?"
Peter Parker dismissed Feng Qianxing's advice with a cold snort. "I staked my claim here first. If anyone should leave, it's you."
"Who is this insolent youth, daring to spout such nonsense before my Ardent Sun Immortal Palace? Your time ends now!"
One of the Great Luo Immortal Venerables from the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace roared, reaching out to seize Peter Parker. The surrounding Immortal Yuan Qi morphed into a fiery colossal claw, radiating an intense heat capable of binding the very heavens and earth, and it surged toward Peter Parker.
The broken sword in Peter Parker's hand glinted as he swung it through the air. With his gesture, the Immortal Yuan Qi from the surrounding heaven and earth coalesced into the Sky Splitting Sword, obliterating the massive flaming claw.
"Immortal energy that can command heaven and earth, a quasi-Great Luo Immortal Venerable?" The Great Luo Immortal Venerable's eyes betrayed a flicker of undeniable astonishment upon witnessing his attack effortlessly parried by Peter Parker.
Even the group's leader, Hong Yunxian, took a considerable time to shake off her shock. They had clearly not anticipated this development.
The young man clad in black was, in fact, a seventh-grade Golden Immortal who had mastered the Immortal Force, enabling him to wield control over Heaven and Earth! A Quasi-Zenith Heaven Immortal Venerable!
His prowess surpassed even that of the Quasi-Zenith Heaven Immortal Venerable from the Earth Immortal Palace. His talent was virtually unmatched within the Four Great Unity Forces.
Such an individual could only have been cultivated by the elite Primordius and Immortal King factions.
In other words, this youth in black standing before them was most likely from a transcendent power beyond the Chaotic Earth Domain.
"Your talent may be without equal, but you lack the standing to act recklessly before my Ardent Sun Immortal Palace within the Chaotic Earth Domain," declared the Red Cloud Immortal Venerable, taking a deep breath and speaking with gravitas. "I will allow you to take a portion of the Immemorial Immortal Spring. Take what you need quickly and depart."
Although Hong Yunxian was not intimidated by the black-clothed youth, she remained cautious of the potential forces backing him.
Therefore, she opted to compromise, permitting Peter Parker and his companions to claim a share of the Chaos Immortal Spring.
"We'll take half of the Chaos Immortal Spring," Peter Parker stated coolly.
The Palace of Ardent Sun, as one of the four Primordial powers of the Chaotic Earth Domain, wielded considerable might. It was clear that Peter Parker had no desire to engage in a fight to the death with them.
However, the Immemorial Immortal Spring was a treasure exclusive to the Immemorial Immortal Sect. Peter Parker had no intention of simply relinquishing it to the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace.
Hong Yunxian's expression soured as she snorted coldly, "Kid, I've already shown you considerable respect by letting you take some of the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring. Don't overstep your bounds!"
"I was the one who found the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring first. By giving half of it to the Fiery Sun Immortal Palace, I've shown you more than enough respect."
Peter Parker regarded Hong Yunxian with a serene gaze.
"Turn down a friendly offer, and you'll have to deal with the consequences!"
Hong Yunzun's intent to kill surged. "Brat, it doesn't matter who you are. In the Chaotic Earth Domain, even the mightiest must bow down!"
BOOM!
With her final word, the immortal elemental energy within a hundred-mile radius coalesced into a brilliant golden sun that rose majestically behind her.
This sun defied description; it shone in tandem with the celestial sun, bathing the land in its glow. Its mere presence was enough to send shivers down the spine of Feng Qianxing, who was on the cusp of Zenith Heaven status.
Even a seasoned Great Luo Immortal Venerable would feel a sense of suffocation.
With a mere thought, Peter Parker commanded the Immortal King Corpse to materialize behind Hong Yunxian and launch a punch.
"*Bang!*"
The punch struck the golden sun behind Venerable Hongyu, shattering it into a shower of golden light that faded into nothingness.
Hong Yunxian's frame quivered. She whirled around, her gaze locking onto the Immortal King Corpse with a mix of disbelief and shock.
"A puppet?"
She had been aware of the puppet since her arrival, but she had not anticipated its formidable power, rivaling that of a peak Great Luo Immortal Venerable!
Here stood a Quasi-Great Luo Immortal Venerable, versed in Immortal Force and master of the elements, accompanied by a puppet of such staggering strength.
The origins of this enigmatic youth clad in black were surely more fearsome than she had ever imagined.
"I must admit, I never expected you to wield such a powerful puppet. Each of us taking half of the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring seems fair. I, the Sovereign, agree to these terms."
Red Cloud Immortal gazed intently at Peter Parker and decided to compromise once more. The combat prowess of this puppet was on par with a peak Great Luo Immortal Venerable. Even he was powerless against it.
What's more, this young man's talent was nearly demonic, and his background was shrouded in mystery. He had an arsenal of secret weapons, and it was highly probable that he possessed an ace up his sleeve from a being even more powerful than a Primordial Immortal Venerable. Hong Yunxian had no desire to remain at odds with him.
Additionally, Hong Yunxian was reluctant to become embroiled with this enigmatic man in black. If the conflict dragged on, it was almost certain that the other three Primordial Immortal factions would discover their location.
At that point, the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace might not even secure a single ordinary Immemorial Immortal Spring.
With a mere thought, Peter Parker beckoned the Immortal King Corpse back to his side. "Alright, we're short on time. Gather the Immemorial Immortal Spring quickly. And don't forget, I'm entitled to half."
Hong Yunxian's brow creased slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
Peter Parker replied matter-of-factly, "Exactly what I said. I lack a container to hold the Immortal Spring. Otherwise, I would have claimed it all myself long ago. How else would you have obtained any of it?"
