World's Strongest Martial Warrior

The void exploded, and the world shifted hues.    

The sun, moon, and sky appeared to have been cleaved in two by the might of Peter Parker's sword.    

This sword was beyond comprehension. Even the clone of Danilo Lujan's sect master stood no chance against its power.    

In a mere moment.    

The sword's radiance sliced through the air as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter, shattering the frozen space encasing Xue Qiansha and obliterating Danilo Lujan's clone into oblivion.    

Having dispatched the clone with a single, decisive blow, Peter Parker turned his icy stare to Xue Wushang. "You're next!"    

"You... You can't kill me. I am the foremost prodigy of the Danilo Lujan Sect, the chosen heir to the Sect Master. If you strike me down, the Danilo Lujan Sect will never forgive you!"    

Under the weight of Peter Parker's chilling gaze, Wushang felt his very soul quiver, and he couldn't suppress his cry of terror.    

The young man's power was overwhelming. Even the Right Protector, Xue Jiuming, and Danilo Lujan's own sect master clone had been effortlessly bested by him.    

Given his weakened state, Wushang feared he had no chance of mounting a defense against such a formidable adversary.    

"I'm sorry, but I am responsible for the demise of your Danilo Lujan Sect kin!"    

As Peter Parker's frosty words dissipated, he brandished the Human Emperor Sword and charged at Xue Wushang.    

"No..."    

Despair and fear etched Wushang's features. Like a bird startled into flight, he desperately tried to escape.    

But it was futile...    

Xue Wushang's cultivation was at its zenith, the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation, yet he was far from his prime. How could he possibly contend with Peter Parker, who was on the cusp of attaining the Sovereign Lord of the Martial Path's level?    

Peter Parker wielded the Green Emperor Sword Technique once more, assuming the guise of a mere mortal, and struck at Xue Wushang with a casual slash!    

Buzz!    

An unseen sword light cut through all in its path, piercing Wu Shang's body.    

And then, in an instant...    

The energy within Xue Wushang's body imploded with a resounding crash, plummeting from the pinnacle of tribulation transcendence to the Dao Integration Stage.    

Horror gripped Xue Wushang as he realized Peter Parker had eradicated a vast expanse of his cultivation with a single sword stroke.    

However, at that moment, Xue Wushang had no time for contemplation. He desperately channeled all his energy to its maximum and bolted into the distance with all his might. But he had barely covered less than a thousand miles in midair when another golden sword Qi ripped through the void and struck directly at him. Under the assault of this golden sword Qi, Xue Wushang couldn't even emit a cry of anguish before he was obliterated, his physical form and Nascent Soul reduced to dust.    

"Master's strength seems to have reached new, unfathomable heights," Xue Qiansha murmured to himself upon witnessing the scene. Peter Parker had always been formidable, but this level of power was beyond terrifying. He had dispatched Xue Wushang, a peak Heavenly Tribulation genius, as effortlessly as one might slaughter poultry.    

Even the clone of Danilo Lujan, the Sect Master, along with the right protector, Xue Jiuming, were effortlessly subdued by Peter Parker's overwhelming force. It's worth noting that Danilo Lujan Tian, the Sect Master, is counted among the top ten experts in the Immortal Breaking Universe, with a cultivation depth that is simply immeasurable. Even a mere clone of his wields power surpassing that of most cultivators at the Quasi-Great Perfection Stage.    

As for the Right Protector of the Danilo Lujan Sect, Xue Jiuming, he is an authentic Mahayana Realm cultivator. Not at his peak, perhaps, but still not someone to be trifled with by any ordinary Quasi-Great Perfection Stage cultivator. Peter Parker's ability to eliminate both Xue Jiuming and the clones of Danilo Lujan with such ease suggests his strength might rival that of a true Mahayana Realm cultivator.    

"Master, with the deaths of Xue Wushang and Xue Jiuming today, you're certain to have enraged Danilo Lujan," Xue Qiansha cautioned. "Powerful as you are, a direct confrontation with Danilo Lujan would be ill-advised. It would be prudent to avoid returning to the Silent Blood Horizon for some time."    

Xue Qiansha snapped back to attention and addressed Peter Parker with due respect. "I recall you mentioning that the Danilo Lujan Sect boasts five cultivators at the multiplication stage?" Peter Parker mused. "Indeed, there are five such cultivators within Danilo Lujan. One is rumored to have ventured into the cosmic starry sky and has not yet returned." "With today's defeat of the Right Protector, Xue Jiuming, that leaves three more within the sect," Peter Parker noted. "The remaining three are the Left Protector, Blood Yuan River, the Sect Master Danilo Lujan Tian, and the Grand Elder, Old Ancestor Blood Yin. However, Old Ancestor Blood Yin has been absent for nearly ten millennia, leaving us in the dark about his current state of life or death." Xue Qiansha provided a thorough briefing. Discounting Old Ancestor Blood Yin's prolonged absence, the Danilo Lujan Sect still had two active cultivators at the helm. Moreover, it was likely that Danilo Lujan Tian, the sect's master, was far more formidable than the average cultivator. Should the Danilo Lujan Sect decide to confront him with their full might, a direct confrontation would be challenging. Given the sect's recent significant losses, it would be improbable for them to dispatch any Great Perfection Realm cultivators to penetrate the Divine Realm soon. Consequently, there was no pressing need for him to venture into the Silent Blood Heavenly Domain for a face-off with Danilo Lujan. Even from the Azure Yuan Heaven Domain, he could maintain contact with Jian Wuxue, the Blood Sword Sect's master, to stay apprised of Danilo Lujan's activities. They would remain in the realm for the time being. With this in mind, Peter Parker made up his mind and declared, "Let's set out and head back to Qing Yuan Province City first." As the Qing Yuan Chamber of Commerce's epicenter, Qing Yuan Province City was an exceptional location. The Free Market there was particularly noteworthy, often yielding rare and valuable finds. It was there that he had previously stumbled upon a fragment of an immortal crystal, the very artifact that catalyzed his current surge in power.    

If he could secure one or two more immortal crystal fragments from the Free Trade Market, he might not break through to the Martial Dao Dominator Realm or reach the legendary Eternal Realm, but he would certainly attain the pinnacle of the Martial Dao Dominator Realm.    

At that moment.    

He would be virtually untouchable in the entire Immortal Breaking Universe!    

With a plan forming in his mind, Peter Parker was about to guide Xue Qiansha toward Qing Yuan State City.    

However...    

As Peter Parker turned, he abruptly sensed an anomaly and halted mid-flight.    

"Master, what's the matter?"    

Xue Qiansha's face mirrored his confusion at Peter Parker's sudden change in demeanor.    

Peter Parker narrowed his eyes. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole lurking behind. It seems we're not meant to leave without a hitch."    

Xue Qiansha's face paled at the implication.    

Within the Qing Yuan Heaven Domain, aside from Danilo Lujan's followers, the Jiuli Immortal Sect was the most likely to confront them.    

Could it be...    

Had the Nine Li Immortal Sect already made their move?    

As Xue Qiansha grappled with his shock, Peter Parker raised his gaze to the void thousands of feet above. A voice, barely more than a whisper, echoed through the cosmos.    

"Li Tianyuan, since you've arrived, why lurk in the shadows? Show yourself."
