World's Strongest Martial Warrior

A look of surprise flickered across Peter Parker's eyes.    

Despite his significant increase in combat strength after advancing to the peak of the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm, Peter hadn't anticipated breaking through the 300-meter force field around Heavenly Fault Immortal so effortlessly.    

It was common knowledge that the space surrounding Heavenly Fault Immortal was like an invisible fortress.    

Back when he was in the late stages of the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm, his attacks were nearly futile against this unseen barrier.    

Yet now, having ascended to the same late stage, he had pierced through it with ease.    

"This is an absolute domain. It's invincible among those of the same cultivation level. Since you've now exceeded the late Fourth Tier of the Heavenly Immortal realm, this domain can no longer hinder you," Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable explained with a chuckle, addressing the unspoken question in Peter's mind.    

"In that case, please forgive my forwardness," Peter said, bracing himself for the confrontation.    

He then channeled the Green Emperor Sword Technique again and charged at Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable.    

Previously, at the same level as his opponent, Peter was unable to disrupt the absolute domain that enshrouded Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable, making it exceedingly challenging to deplete his energy.    

But now, having reached the pinnacle of the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm, not only had his combat strength surged, but he could also provoke Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable into a counterattack.    

This strategy allowed Peter to gradually sap Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable's energy, much like he had done in earlier battles.    

Following an intense skirmish, Peter retreated to the twenty-seventh floor to recuperate in the Tower of Time before ascending once more to the twenty-eighth floor to resume his duel with Immortal Venerable Tian Que.    

He repeated this cycle for half a day, shuttling between the two floors over ten times, until he finally overcame Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable's energy form.    

With this victory behind him, Peter ascended to the twenty-ninth floor, where an Immortal Venerable from the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace stood guard, his power constrained to the peak of the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm.    

After a short period of exploration, Peter Parker returned to the twenty-eighth step and entered the Tower of Time to advance his training. He utilized the final two drops of Immortal Nectar of Thoughtless Comprehension, significantly enhancing his cultivation base. Following this, he absorbed the power of immortal stones and dedicated two months to cultivation within the Tower of Time. His efforts paid off when he finally ascended to the Fifth Grade Heaven Immortal realm.    

In the outside world, nearly a month had elapsed during this time.    

Having achieved the Fifth Grade Heaven Immortal realm, Peter found it considerably easier to confront the peak Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal guardian on the twenty-ninth floor than the formidable Heavenly Fault Immortal Venerable on the floor below.    

Upon reaching the twenty-ninth level, Peter had vanquished its guardian completely.    

"Just one final challenge remains," he murmured to himself, gazing up at the last step with determination.    

Since his arrival, Peter had spent roughly two months in this mystical place. Now, with only the last hurdle before him, he was on the cusp of reaching the Immemorial Immortal Pond. If fortune favored him, he might successfully complete the trial within three months and gain entry to the Primeval Immortal Pond.    

After a brief respite on the twenty-ninth level, Peter launched himself skyward, ascending the ultimate staircase leading to the Immemorial Immortal Pond.    

With a resonant buzz, the guardian of the pond's final tier materialized before him. This individual, appearing to be in their twenties, was clad in a simple black garment, with arms like polished jade exposed. Their pristine white cloth shoes only added to their unblemished appearance.    

The guardian, a woman with long, cascading hair and strikingly indifferent eyes, possessed an air of power and haughtiness, akin to a sovereign queen.    

Peter couldn't hide his astonishment at the sight of the extraordinary woman before him. The presence of a female keeper at the final step was an unexpected revelation.    

Yet, the aura she radiated in her black attire was far more intimidating than that of the two Immortal Venerables he had previously encountered.    

"You're quite impressive. It seems the Supreme Sword Immortal Palace has discovered yet another remarkable talent. In all the years since its founding, you're the first to reach this place so swiftly."    

The girl in the black dress turned her gaze to Peter Parker, her voice a pleasant melody in his ears.    

Peter Parker shook his head, replying, "Senior, I'm not affiliated with the Immortal Execution Sword Palace."    

"Oh?" The girl's surprise was evident as she studied Peter Parker. "But you carry the essence of my Immortal Killing Sword Art. How can you claim no ties to the Immortal Execution Sword Palace?"    

"You... Are you the Sword Extinguishing Immortal King?" Peter's body involuntarily shuddered, disbelief flickering in his eyes.    

The Immortal Killing Sword Art was the brainchild of the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace's founder, the Sword Extinguishing Immortal King.    

This girl not only referred to herself in the first person but also claimed to have created the Immortal Killing Sword Art, a feat attributed to the legendary Sword Extinguishing Immortal King. Who else could she be?    

This was beyond anything Peter Parker could have anticipated.    

The founder of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace, the Absolute Sword Immortal King, was a woman!    

"That's correct, it's me. Surprised?" The Absolute Sword Immortal King regarded Peter Parker with a curious look. "You're quite unique. Your aura carries more than one signature that I recognize."    

"Your perception is as keen as ever, Senior," Peter Parker quickly responded. "In the lower realm universe, I had the good fortune to explore the Longevity Immortal Palace, which had been lost to time. It was there that I acquired your Killing Immortal Sword Art from the Longevity Immortal King."    

"Oh?" The Absolute Sword Immortal King paused, a soft sigh escaping her lips.    

"For years, I've sought any trace of the Longevity Immortal King, to no avail. I never imagined someone would bring news of him to the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace today. Unfortunately, my true form is no longer here."    

Peter Parker, eager for knowledge, inquired, "May I ask where your true form resides now?"    

The Sword Extinguishing Immortal King was a legendary figure in the Immortal World, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Lu Xiaoqing's task of restoring the Longevity Immortal Palace to the Immortal World was fraught with peril. The Absolute Sword Immortal King and the Longevity Immortal King were bound by a deep, life-and-death friendship. Should the Absolute Sword Immortal King become aware of the Longevity Immortal King's heir, he would undoubtedly take action.    

With the support of the Absolute Sword Immortal King, Lu Xiaoqing's precarious situation would be significantly more secure.    

"I don't know either," the Absolute Sword Immortal King admitted, shaking his head. He then turned to Peter Parker and said, "Kid, let's set aside other matters for now. You should step into the Immemorial Immortal Pond and undergo its cleansing baptism."    

Peter Parker managed a wry smile in response. "Senior, I'm curious about how you intend for me to overcome this final challenge?"    

Standing before him was the founder of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace, an Immortal King of immeasurable might. Even with his power restrained to that of a Fifth Grade Heavenly Immortal, Peter knew he stood little chance against such a formidable being.    

If this final test proved to be in the same vein as the previous ones, Peter Parker had to admit, he lacked the confidence to triumph by vanquishing his adversary.
