World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Peter Parker stepped into the void, merging with his sword. He transformed into a radiant blade of golden light, piercing the fabric of heaven and earth as he lunged towards Xue Jiuming.    

At present, Danilo Lujan was the sole person privy to the circumstances within the Divine Realm. The most recent foray into that sacred space had been led by Danilo Lujan himself. Should the Danilo Lujan Cult find an opening, they would undoubtedly dispatch even mightier experts to the Divine Realm.    

Peter Parker's journey to the Immortal Universe was motivated by a desire to thwart any potential invasion of the God Domain. He had allied with the Blood Sword Immortal Sect, relentlessly undermining Danilo Lujan's efforts to prevent him from mounting another Divine Realm expedition.    

Despite his successes in slaying two of Danilo Lujan's transcendent geniuses—sending shockwaves through the entire sect—he had yet to inflict a crippling blow to Danilo Lujan's core strength.    

Today's confrontation with Xue Jiuming, a cultivator of the esteemed Cheng rank, presented a golden opportunity. Eliminating Xue Jiuming would undoubtedly deal a severe blow to the vitality of the Danilo Lujan Sect.    

After all, a cultivator of the Great Ekayāna Rank was an exceedingly rare entity, even within the vast expanse of the Immortal Breaking Universe. The Danilo Lujan Sect, despite its standing among the top ten immortal sects, boasted only a select few at the multiplication realm.    

The sect had already suffered the loss of one such cultivator during their last incursion into the God Domain. Should Xue Jiuming fall today, the Danilo Lujan Sect would be bereft of another Great Perfection Realm cultivator.    

Despite its prestigious ranking, the Danilo Lujan Sect had to contend with adversaries like the Blood Sword Immortal Sect within the Immortal Breaking Universe, necessitating the oversight of a Mahayana Realm cultivator.    

In light of these challenges, dispatching a Great Perfection Stage cultivator to the Divine Domain would no longer be a straightforward task for the Danilo Lujan Sect.    

Therefore, Peter Parker was resolute in his determination to vanquish Xue Jiuming today, regardless of the cost. Allowing such a formidable opponent to slip away was simply not an option.    

"Rumble!"    

Peter Parker charged forward, his sword energy shimmering like a rainbow.    

His blade seemed to transcend all, as if capable of cleaving the very stars from the heavens.    

"Blood Magic Image!"    

Overwhelmed by the earth-shattering force of Peter's sword, terror flooded Xue Jiuming's heart, compelling him to unleash a roar that echoed across the cosmos.    

Boom!    

A furious bellow reverberated through the heavens, and a blood-red radiance burst forth from Xue Jiuming's form. It morphed into a colossal, blood-colored phantom, towering a hundred thousand feet high to confront the slashing sword light.    

However...    

Xue Jiuming, with only seventy percent of his strength restored, had already sustained injuries from Peter Parker's assault.    

Despite his desperate attempt to muster his blood magic, it proved inadequate against Peter's relentless onslaught.    

"Crack!"    

The sound of shattering resounded. Under Peter Parker's sword, the Blood Nine Netherworlds' massive blood magic shattered like glass, disintegrating upon impact.    

The sword light left an inconceivable gash atop the blood magic's form. The ten-thousand-foot construct, along with Xue Jiuming's physical body, was cleaved in two.    

Simultaneously,    

A wretched scream erupted from within Xue Jiuming.    

"Ah... you'll regret this, boy. I, Xue Jiuming, will not let this go unanswered."    

Amidst his agony, an ethereal blood figure emerged from Xue Jiuming's body—his Nascent Soul.    

"Don't fret; you won't have the chance for revenge with a single strike of my sword!"    

Peter Parker's voice was cool and detached as he delivered another swift cut. The blade moved without fanfare or flourish.    

Yet, this seemingly simple strike caused the blood-red aura around Xue Jiuming's Nascent Soul to fade rapidly.    

In the end,    

The Nascent Soul's power crumbled like a breached dam. The soul itself became ghostly and translucent, until it fragmented into specks of crimson light, vanishing into the ether.    

"It's certainly no easy feat to take down a cultivator from the Mahayana Realm."    

Peter Parker exhaled a sigh of relief after dispatching Xue Jiuming's Nascent Soul with a single sword strike. He knew that if Xue Jiuming hadn't been severely wounded in the battle for the Tribulation Transformation Pill, he wouldn't have been able to regain his full strength so quickly. Operating at only seventy percent of his former power, the task of defeating Xue Jiuming was far from straightforward.    

Shaking his head, Peter's gaze was drawn to the ongoing clash between Xue Qiansha and Xue Wushang.    

Both were peers of the renowned Danilo Lujan, equally matched in talent and might. Despite Xue Wushang being groomed by Danilo Lujan himself, Xue Qiansha had spent years traversing the cosmos, amassing resources through relentless raids. Consequently, his cultivation base remained on par with Xue Wushang's.    

The recent acquisition of the Weeping Blood Demon Fruit had brought Wushang tantalizingly close to the quasi Mahayana Realm. Yet, even as Danilo Lujan Sect's top prodigy, Blood Wushang found no edge over Blood Killer.    

Witnessing Xue Jiuming's defeat at the hands of Peter Parker filled Xue Wushang with dread, and in his panic, he was utterly overpowered by Xue Qiansha.    

"You've pushed me to this, Xue Qiansha! If I'm to perish today, I swear I'll take you, the betrayer of Danilo Lujan Sect, down with me!" Xue Wushang bellowed.    

As his words died away, he revealed a blood-red jade talisman in his palm, radiating a sinister, crimson glow. Without a moment's hesitation, he clenched his fist, shattering the talisman.    

A resonant buzz filled the air as the talisman broke apart, releasing a blood-colored light that seemed to dominate the very heavens and earth. It soared skyward and morphed into a blood-red spectral figure, crowned and formidable.    

"Sect Leader, I've located the traitor, Xue Qiansha. I'm in need of your assistance."    

Xue Wushang gazed at the blood-red apparition in the sky and said with due respect, "Sect Master, I've tracked down the traitor, Xue Qiansha. I hope you can assist me."    

"Danilo Lujan Sect's revered Sect Master, Danilo Lujan Tian!"    

Xue Qiansha's eyes narrowed as he beheld the blood-red specter materializing from nothingness.    

Indeed, the Sect Leader of the Danilo Lujan Sect had left a powerful ace up Xue Wushang's sleeve.    

"Xue Qiansha, your days of betrayal are over. It's time for you to face your demise."    

The blood-red specter gazed down at Xue Qiansha with a cold detachment, as a palpable aura of lethal intent radiated from him.    

Then...    

His hand, aglow with a sanguine luminescence, reached out nonchalantly towards Xue Qiansha suspended in the air.    

Though the gesture seemed simple, it dominated the heavens and the earth, solidifying the space for miles around Xue Qiansha, rendering him completely immobile.    

"Humph! Danilo Lujan Sect's Sect Master, your physical presence might pose a threat, but this mere projection of you does not intimidate me. If you think you can harm my people, you'll have to get through me first!"    

Peter Parker let out a disdainful snort as he faced the blood-red phantom. The divine essence behind him coalesced into the Human Emperor Sword.    

Simultaneously,    

The Human Emperor Sword in his grasp transformed into a beam of golden light, fusing with the divine essence. This caused the golden sword energy to erupt once more.    

"Sword and Elephant Unite, break!"    

Peter Parker's voice thundered as the colossal golden sword on his back appeared to cleave the heavens and the earth, unleashing a power so formidable it seemed to challenge the world itself as it struck at the blood-red phantom in the void.
