World's Strongest Martial Warrior

3Upon hearing Peter Parker's audacious remarks, the members of the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace glared at him with eyes blazing with anger. Their sect was renowned as one of the four great Primordial authorities within the Chaotic Earth Domain, and few dared to disrespect them. Yet here was this young upstart, repeatedly testing their patience. Their fury was palpable.    

    

Red Cloud Immortal Venerable, the sect's leader, furrowed her brow in frustration. Ultimately, she chose to deescalate the situation and not get further entangled with Peter Parker. With a graceful gesture, she summoned a palm-sized jade bottle and sent it floating toward him. "This is a Great Luo Immortal Treasure, crafted by my Ardent Sun Immortal Palace. It can contain a vast quantity of Chaos Immortal Spring. Please, accept it."    

    

Peter Parker wasted no time. He took the jade bottle, channeled his magical energy, and transferred half of the Chaos Immortal Spring into it. Hong Yunxian, observing silently, simply retained the other half of the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring for herself.    

    

"Little brother," Red Cloud Immortal Venerable began, her tone warm as she addressed Peter Parker, "the recent emergence of the Chasing Sun Mountain Range has drawn the attention of the majority of the chaotic forces. The ensuing struggle is bound to be fierce. Would you consider an alliance?"    

    

She held the Immortal Spring in her hands, her smile suggesting the potential benefits of such a partnership. The Chasing Sun Mountain Range's appearance had indeed piqued the interest of the four Grand Unity powers of the Chaotic Earth Domain, as well as the Profound Heaven Immortal Sect. The competition promised to be nothing short of cutthroat.    

    

Even the formidable Scorching Sun Immortal Palace might struggle to secure its piece of the action. This mysterious youth in black, a quasi-Great Luo Immortal Venerable with a puppet of comparable strength to a peak Great Luo Immortal Venerable, was not someone to be trifled with. Having resolved not to antagonize him, Red Cloud Immortal Venerable saw the wisdom in collaboration.    

    

Joining forces with this enigmatic figure would undoubtedly bolster the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace's confidence, no matter which factions they encountered in the Chaotic Domain.    

    

"Alright, once the Chasing Sun Mountain Range emerges, I'm thrilled to form an alliance with the Ardent Sun Immortal Palace."    

    

Peter Parker nodded, his smile conveying his agreement.    

    

The Chaotic Earth Domain was home to four Primordial experts. On his own, it was a formidable challenge to vie with them for the treasures within the Chasing Sun Mountain Range.    

    

The elder from the Scorching Sun Immortal Palace seemed like a decent ally. He was someone Peter could work with.    

    

"In that case, let's exchange contact information and explore the Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain on our own. Should any of us discover anything about the Sunchaser Mountain Range, we'll share the information immediately. Does that sound good to you, my young friend?"    

    

Hong Yunxian proposed, looking expectantly at Peter Parker.    

    

Peter had no reservations about this plan. After they swapped contact details, Hong Yunxian departed with his group from the Scorching Sun Immortal Palace.    

    

"It's time for us to head out as well."    

    

With Red Cloud Immortal Venerable and the others gone, Peter called over Feng Qianxing and they prepared to exit the valley.    

    

But in that instant, the mood of the valley shifted dramatically. A surge of energy pulsed from the void.    

    

Peter's expression tensed. He deftly commanded the Immortal King Corpse to strike towards the source of the disturbance.    

    

"Bang!"    

    

The sound echoed as a massive snowball, hit by the Immortal King Corpse's punch, shattered into a shower of snowflakes.    

    

"Why lurk in the shadows? Reveal yourself!"    

    

Peter narrowed his eyes, his cool voice echoing throughout the valley.    

    

This snowball was identical to the one that had ambushed them upon their arrival. Clearly, the enigmatic entity concealed in the valley had launched another assault.    

    

Peter hadn't anticipated that this mysterious being would reveal itself again after such prolonged silence.    

    

"Buzz!"    

    

As the echo of Peter's words dissipated, a peculiar, thumb-sized crystal materialized before his eyes.    

    

The moment the crystal appeared, it emitted a blinding light, reminiscent of immortal ice.    

    

Then, as if conjured from thin air, an ethereal old man with white hair and robes materialized before Peter.    

    

Feeling a mix of awe and curiosity, Peter respectfully bowed with his hands clasped. "May I ask who you are, senior?"    

    

If my hunch is right, the crystal that just materialized before me must be a shard of a shattered immortal crystal. The white-haired elder before me is the lingering immortal soul of the crystal's original owner. Even a mere remnant of this immortal soul rivals the might of a Great Luo Immortal Supremacy. This alone indicates that the white-haired elder is a force to be reckoned with.    

    

With an air of indifference, the old man declared, "I am Immortal Venerable Icedust. Young one, you've reaped the greatest rewards within my domain. Surely, it would be rather unscrupulous to depart without so much as an acknowledgment?"    

    

"Icedust... Immortal Venerable Icedust?" Feng Qianxing's face was etched with disbelief upon hearing the old man's introduction. "Are you truly the legendary Icedust Immortal Venerable, esteemed equal to Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable?"    

    

In the golden era of the Chaotic Earth Domain, several Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable masters emerged. Among them, Icedust Immortal Venerable was the most renowned, second only to Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable. Feng Qianxing had never imagined that the one who perished here, giving rise to the Chaos Immortal Spring, was none other than Immortal Venerable Icedust himself!    

    

Peter Parker was equally stunned. Although his knowledge of the so-called Immortal Venerable Bing Chen was limited, he knew she was hailed as the preeminent master of the Chaotic Domain, a peak Chaos Immortal Venerable. If Icedust Immortal Venerable could match her in stature, then she too must be a Chaos Immortal Venerable.    

    

Taking a deep breath, Peter Parker addressed the elder with a solemn tone, "May I inquire about the guidance you wish to impart, senior?"    

    

"Listen well, young one. I am privy to the location of the Chasing Sun Mountain Range, and I can aid you in entering the dao arena of Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable," Icedust Immortal Venerable stated coolly. "However, I have one condition: I wish to borrow the corpse beside you."    

    

Peter Parker, without hesitation, firmly declined. "I apologize, but I cannot consent to that." The puppet at his side was crafted from the remains of an Immortal King. Moreover, the refinement techniques of the Green Robed Sword Sovereign were nothing short of extraordinary, enhancing the strength of the Immortal King's corpse in tandem with his own.    

    

The Immortal King's corpse currently possessed strength on par with a peak Great Luo Immortal Venerable. As its power continued to grow, it wasn't out of the question for it to rival the might of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. This entity was Peter Parker's ace in the hole; there was no way he could just hand it over to Bing Chen for something as trivial as the Chasing Sun Mountain Range.    

    

"Don't worry, I'm only borrowing it for a short while," Bing Chen said calmly. "I'll give it back once we depart from this immortal mountain."    

    

Peter Parker gave a wry smile. "Senior, it's not that I'm unwilling. It's just that this puppet is quite unique. Even if I wanted to lend it to you, I'm not sure you'd be able to make use of this corpse."    

    

"Oh?" Bing Chen replied with a hint of intrigue. "Let's see if it's possible after we try."    

    

No sooner had her words dissipated than she transformed into a beam of crystalline light, zipping into the Immortal King corpse beside Peter Parker.
