World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Immortal Yu Yi steadied himself, looking worse for wear. A mouthful of blood escaped his lips uncontrollably.    

He lifted his gaze to Peter Parker, who stood before him, a look of dread etched across his face.    

Yu Yi Xian had never imagined that this young man clad in black would possess such formidable combat abilities when unleashing his full power.    

Even with his own strength on par with a seventh-grade Heaven Immortal, he found himself utterly defenseless against his adversary!    

"Am I seeing things? Yu Yixian actually defeated? How can this be?"    

Spectators within Heaven Flame Immortal City were left in disbelief, struggling to come to terms with the scene before them.    

Young Master Yu Fan, Yu Yi Xian, hailed from one of the two preeminent Great Luo Clans in the Northern Frost Region and was a celebrated prodigy of the Yu Clan from Yu Luo Immortal City. His reputation as a top-tier genius was known throughout the region.    

Yet, this remarkable young talent had been vanquished in a mere instant by an enigmatic black-robed stranger.    

The notion was utterly unfathomable.    

Suspended in the void, Peter Parker stood tall, his sword in hand, regarding Yu Yi Xian with a cool detachment. "Yu Yi Xian, you have been defeated!"    

"No! The fight isn't over. I, Yu Yi Xian, refuse to concede defeat to you!"    

Yu Yi Xian's roar was one of sheer fury. The Everlasting Blood Qi burst forth from his being, a fearsome aura radiating from him.    

With swift hand movements, he reactivated the jade fan and charged at Peter Parker once more.    

"You're out of your depth."    

Peter Parker shook his head, and with a casual flick of the Skyfrost Immortal Sword, sent Yu Yi Xian reeling for a second time.    

To Peter, a Rank Two Heavenly Immortal of Immortal Yu Yi's caliber posed no real threat.    

"Young Master!"    

Witnessing Immortal Yu Yi being repelled yet again by Peter Parker's swordplay, the grey-robed elder who had been at Yu Yi's side in an instant was there to catch him.    

He propped up the ashen-faced Yu Yi Xian. "Young master, are you alright?"    

Yu Yi Xian dabbed away the blood at the corner of his mouth and shook his head. "Pill Elder, I'm fine. The battle is not yet finished. Please, stand back."    

"Young Master, I fear that this time your talent and foundation may be on par with his. Furthermore, your cultivation has ascended to the fourth tier of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Even with the Yu Family's Great Luo Secret Art at your disposal, you might still fall short in defeating him."    

The old man spoke gravely, "The Northern Chill's Chosen One Meeting is imminent. Now is not the time to resort to the Great Luo Secret Art. I'll handle this."    

Without giving Yu Yi Xian a chance to respond, the old man vanished, reappearing instantly before Peter Parker.    

Peter Parker's eyes narrowed, and he taunted Yu Yi Xian, "It seems you're considering reneging on your promise?"    

"The Young Master made a vow to you that he wouldn't strike you down if defeated, but that agreement doesn't include me."    

The old man regarded Peter Parker with a cold detachment. "Your obstinance is futile. Possessions are fleeting. Surrender the ancient tome if you value your life. That is the sole option available to you."    

"Hehe... The Yu Family from Yu Luo Immortal City truly epitomizes tyranny. Do you honestly believe your family reigns supreme in the Northern Frost Region?"    

With a frosty smile, Peter Parker faced the old man with composure. "The item you seek is not so easily wrested from my grasp. Not by Yu Luo Immortal City, nor by your family!"    

"To spout such bravado on the brink of death!"    

The old man shook his head, conceding, "While I must acknowledge your exceptional talent, and few in the Northern Frost Immortal Domain can match you, you're still no match for a Golden Immortal."    

As the old man's words trailed off, his eyes blazed with intensity, and the formidable presence of a Golden Immortal surged forth from him.    

He balled his right hand into a fist and launched a punch towards Peter Parker from kilometers away.    

*Boom!*    

The force of the punch set the Immortal Yuan in the void into a frenzied whirl, generating friction that ignited into an inferno. From a distance, a Flame Dragon seemed to dance within the fiery maelstrom, its power reverberating through the heavens and the earth.    

"Pill Alchemy Flame, that old timer is making his move!"    

Witnessing the spectacle above, those who recognized Old Man La's identity couldn't help but show a flicker of surprise on their faces.    

Pill Moxibustion Flame enjoyed a notable reputation in the Northern Chill Province. Rumor had it that at his zenith, his cultivation had soared to the pinnacle of the Ninth Grade Golden Immortal, just shy of the exalted Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm.    

Later on...    

Dan Mojiao Yan vanished for a spell from the Northern Frost Region. Upon his return, his cultivation had plummeted, and he had aligned himself with the Yu Family in Yu Luo Immortal City. Presently, he served at the side of Yu Yi Xian.    

However...    

Even as a diminished Ninth Grade Golden Immortal, he remained formidable, much like a camel that still outdoes a horse in its resilience.    

Pill Aximation, even now, boasted the prowess of a First Grade Golden Immortal, with combat strength surpassing that of his peers.    

With such a powerhouse stepping into the fray, the young prodigy, no matter how exceptional, would likely face peril today without the backing of another master.    

"Green Emperor Sword!"    

Peter Parker wasted no time as the acidic flame's fist bore down on him. He summoned the Green Emperor Sword to counter the onslaught.    

Boom!    

The very heavens quaked, and the fabric of space fractured.    

Despite the might of Peter Parker's Green Emperor Sword, it proved futile against the formidable First Grade Golden Immortal.    

The sword's power locked in a standoff with the flame dragon's fist, only to be utterly consumed by the flames.    

"Sword and Elephant Unite!"    

Peter Parker's face tensed as he made a hasty retreat. The Chaos Origin Sword at his back coalesced, transforming into a radiant sword beam that fused with the Skyfrost Immortal Sword. He unleashed another strike at the flame dragon's fist.    

Bang!    

The collision resounded. Fearsome sword energy clashed with the fiery fist's glow, unleashing cataclysmic storms that ravaged the void.    

Peter Parker grunted, his body flung back over a thousand meters, battered and bruised. He struggled to quell the tumultuous Qi within him. Finally, a sweet taste filled his throat, and he couldn't stop a mouthful of blood from spilling out.    

"So this is what a true Golden Immortal Realm expert looks like? He's incredibly powerful!"    

Peter Parker dabbed at the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face etched with a grave seriousness.    

The Golden Immortal before him was leagues beyond Huang Tianhua, who had only reached the cusp of the Golden Immortal Realm.    

Despite summoning every ounce of his strength, Peter was no match for a full-fledged Golden Immortal expert.    

"Young man, take pride in the fact that you've withstood my strike with your Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal cultivation. But don't waste your energy resisting. Surrender peacefully."    

A chilling light sparked in the eyes of Pill Acupoint Flame as he reached out to clasp Peter Parker once more.    

The young man's talent was truly terrifying. Facing such a formidable adversary, Pill Acupoint Flame was resolved to eliminate him now to avoid any future threat.    

He had been negligent once before, allowing his enemy to gain strength. That oversight had led to his current predicament.    

He was determined not to make the same error again.    

Peter Parker's face tensed as he witnessed Pill Acupoint Flame's renewed assault.    

He was outmatched by the sheer power of Pill Acupoint Flame.    

In this desperate moment, his only recourse was to brandish the token from the Nameless Immortal Palace, hoping it might deter the formidable elder.
