World's Strongest Martial Warrior

2Upon entering the Immortal King's corpse, Ice Dust Immortal Sovereign attempted to seize control of it. However, she quickly realized that the refinement technique imbuing the corpse was profoundly intricate, seemingly intertwined with the essence of the black-clothed youth outside. She endeavored to sever the connection between the youth and the puppet but found herself utterly unable to do so with her power alone.    

    

What a shock! Despite being reduced to a mere remnant soul, at her zenith, she had attained the level of Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable. Even now, her power was on par with that of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable. And yet, this black-clothed youth, though immensely talented, had a cultivation base merely at the seventh-grade Golden Immortal realm. Ice Dust Immortal Venerable had not anticipated her inability to disrupt the bond between the youth and the corpse.    

    

When Bing Chen sought to dominate the Immortal King Corpse, Peter Parker, its true master, immediately became aware. A subtle smile graced his lips upon realizing her futile attempts to commandeer the Immortal King Corpse. The craftsman behind the corpse was likely a legendary Immortal Emperor, whose skills were so advanced that even at his prime, he might not have been able to challenge Immortal Venerable Bing Chen, let alone now with just a fragment of his soul.    

    

"Kid, the refinement technique of your puppet is truly remarkable. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean I can't make use of it. How about I take control for a while?" Bing Chen's voice, tinged with surprise, emanated directly from the Immortal King's corpse moments later. She had a method to borrow the corpse, yet she could not sever the tie between it and Peter Parker. In other words, any use of the corpse would require Peter Parker's consent.    

    

Peter Parker's smile widened as he responded, "If the senior has no objections, then neither do I." With the Immortal King corpse already boasting strength comparable to a Great Luo Immortal Venerable, and now under the auspices of Ice Dust Immortal Venerable's abode, it was poised to unleash even more formidable power.    

    

As long as he maintained control over the Immortal King's corpse, the Ice Dust Immortal Venerable could inhabit it indefinitely. He only needed a single thought to strip Bing Chen of his command over the formidable cadaver. With Peter Parker's unspoken consent, the Ice Dust Immortal Venerable swiftly assumed control of the Immortal King's corpse. Once in command, a chilling gleam emanated from the corpse's eyes, accompanied by a faint voice.    

    

"Kid, let's go. I'll take you to the Chasing Sun Mountain Range. It's time to settle the score with that scoundrel!"    

    

Peter Parker couldn't help but look intrigued upon hearing this. "Senior, do you have a vendetta against the Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable?"    

    

"Indeed. I will not find peace until he meets his end," Bing Chen replied icily. "I nearly perished here, all because of him. I've sworn to exact a tenfold revenge one day!"    

    

Startled, Peter Parker asked, "Senior, are you suggesting that the Immortal Venerable Chasing Sun is still among the living?"    

    

The Sunchaser was a peak Chaos Immortal Venerable, on the cusp of ascending to Immortal King status. If such an unparalleled being were still alive, seeking fortunes in the Chasing Sun Mountain Range would be tantamount to flirting with disaster.    

    

"How could a peak Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable, one who has dominated an era in the Chaotic Earth Domain, perish so easily?" Bing Chen sneered. "That old man has invested immense effort for a shot at advancing to the Immortal King Realm. I intend to thwart his ambitions once and for all."    

    

As Bing Chen's words tapered off, an odd vibration began pulsating throughout Fengqi Immortal Mountain. Suddenly, a blistering aura unfurled from the mountain. In an instant, Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain appeared to transform into an enormous furnace, the temperature skyrocketing. The ice and snow blanketing the valley where Peter Parker and his companions stood melted away at an alarming rate.    

    

"This is... the energy of the Chasing Sun Mountain Range."    

    

Bing Chen's gaze was locked onto the source of the intense heat. His expression grew increasingly icy. "It seems that old curmudgeon from Chasing Sun Mountain has picked up on something. He's even allowed the Chasing Sun Mountain Range to emerge into the world prematurely!"    

    

Peter Parker's eyes narrowed instinctively.    

    

The Chasing Sun Mountain Range was the stuff of legends within the Chaotic Earth Domain. Over the years, only Lord Taixuan had any inkling of its location. The sudden reappearance of the long-lost Chasing Sun Mountain Range was no small matter. It lent credence to Lord Icedust's claim that Lord Chasing Sun might still be alive, possibly hatching some earth-shattering scheme.    

    

"Let's go pay this old timer a visit. I'm curious to see what he's up to in the Chasing Sun Mountain Range!" Bing Chen declared, steering the Immortal King Corpse towards the Sunchaser Mountain Range. Peter Parker and Feng Qianxing followed immediately, no questions asked.    

    

The abrupt transformation at Fengqi Immortal Mountain didn't go unnoticed by those in search of the Sun Chasing Mountain Range. The change took many by surprise.    

    

"What an intense, fiery presence. Could it be that a peerless immortal treasure has surfaced in Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain?" one speculated.    

    

"The aura is formidable, certainly something that eclipses even a Zenith Heaven Immortal Treasure," another added.    

    

"You're all overlooking something vital. The Sunchaser Mountain Range lies within Phoenix Perch Mountain. If I'm right, the legendary Chasing Sun Mountain Range might have just revealed itself."    

    

"Let's check it out!"    

    

Amidst their chatter, the crowd made their way towards the source of the searing heat.    

    

Deep within Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain, an unremarkable bald peak stood. A multitude had already converged in the space surrounding it. Their attention was transfixed on one particular summit. From within, a blistering aura burst forth like a volcano in eruption, revealing a spatial black hole ten zhang in width.    

    

Peering through the spatial black hole, a mysterious mountain range bathed in a crimson glow was just barely visible.    

    

"The Sunchaser Mountain Range!"    

    

Every onlooker's eyes blazed with intensity as they fixed their stares on the mountain range beyond the black hole.    

    

Instinctively, they knew that this enigmatic range shrouded by the black hole was almost certainly the fabled Sunchaser Mountain Range.
