World's Strongest Martial Warrior

3"It's such a shame that in the Shattering Immortal Universe, the divine retribution for advancing to the Martial Path Ruler was entirely neutralized by the system," Peter Parker mused with a tinge of regret. Having ascended to the Master Realm with such ease, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.    

    

In the Divine Realm, the situation might have been different. There, he could have possibly enticed Li Heaven Abyss into his Sovereign Tribulation, leveraging the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm to confront this adversary. But that was merely wishful thinking.    

    

The Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm had been grievously wounded in the ancient war. Until the Divine Realm could heal and return to its former glory, even the divine punishments of old were insufficient to vanquish the newly emerged Blood Yang Old Ancestor.    

    

Though the Heavenly Dao of the Realm of the Gods had likely regained much of its strength by now, it was uncertain whether its celestial wrath could eliminate a cultivator from the Mahayana Realm.    

    

Nevertheless, Peter Parker's breakthrough to the Sovereign Lord of the Martial Path had granted him the power to face a Mahayana Realm cultivator head-on. Without relying on the might of divine retribution, he no longer had any reason to fear Li Heaven Abyss.    

    

"Enjoyed the skirmish, Li Heaven Abyss? Now it's my turn to take the stage!" Peter Parker declared, wiping the blood from his mouth. The radiance of the Human Emperor Sword surged skyward, transforming into a fearsome blade of light that seemed capable of cleaving the immortals above, as it hurtled towards Li Heaven Abyss.    

    

With the Immortal Killing Sword Art, the Immortal Killing Sword, Peter Parker unleashed his might, now amplified in the Sovereign realm. The power of his technique was beyond compare to his previous capabilities.    

    

Even a formidable cultivator like Li Heaven Abyss could immediately perceive the lethal intent emanating from Peter Parker's blade.    

    

Without a moment's delay, Li Heaven Abyss responded with the mightiest divine power of the Jiuli Immortal Sect—the Nine Underworlds Dark Nether. This technique met Peter Parker's Immortal Killing Sword Art head-on.    

    

A thunderous "Rumble!" echoed as the two forces collided. The fearsome sword light clashed with Li Heaven Abyss's intricate hand technique, igniting a cataclysmic storm. In an instant, the very fabric of space was obliterated, leaving ten thousand li of void where once there was form.    

    

"Hong! Hong!"    

    

Unfazed by the cataclysmic storms raging around them, they continued to collide with ferocious intensity. The sky was a blur with their afterimages, each confrontation sending countless ripples through the void, causing it to shatter and reform time and again.    

    

Finally, the very space they occupied transformed into a voracious black hole. Undeterred, they plunged into the space vortex, their battle raging on amidst the tumultuous space storm.    

    

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"    

    

Their clash escalated in ferocity.    

    

Peter Parker unleashed the formidable techniques of the Immortal Killing Sword Art, the Sword and Elephant Integration, and the Ancient Seal of Human Emperor, along with an array of other divine abilities.    

    

With each passing moment, Peter Parker's courage swelled. He eventually exploited a weakness in Li Heaven Abyss and sent him hurtling over three thousand meters away.    

    

"Kid, you are indeed a prodigious talent," Li Tian acknowledged, wiping the blood from his mouth. He locked eyes with Peter Parker and proposed, "Your strength is impressive, but you may not be able to defeat me. Perhaps we should consider a discussion."    

    

Peter Parker responded with a cold, dismissive snort. "It doesn't seem like there's anything worth discussing."    

    

"Are you certain?" Li Tianyuan's gaze sharpened. "You're not a cultivator from the Immortal Breaking Universe. If I spread this information, you'll find no sanctuary within its bounds."    

    

The threat ignited a fierce killing intent in Peter Parker, who glared back at Li Heaven Abyss. "Is that a threat?"    

    

"I'm merely presenting the reality of the situation," Li Tianyuan replied calmly. "I'm offering you a choice. Join the Nine Li Immortal Sect, and not only will you be granted the rank of elder, but we'll also overlook any immortal treasures in your possession and keep your identity a secret."    

    

The potential he saw in the young man before him was staggering. If the Nine Li Immortal Sect could harness his abilities, he would undoubtedly become an unparalleled asset. And even if they couldn't, Li Tianyuan was determined to find a way to keep him at bay for the time being.    

    

After all, the kid's combat strength was far superior to his own. At this point, his only option was to buy time and wait for the Nine Li Immortal Sect to send another Mahayana Realm cultivator to assist him.    

    

"Firstly, I have no interest in joining your Nine Li Immortal Sect. Secondly, I don't trust you. Thirdly, I believe only the dead can keep secrets for me," Peter Parker declared, fixing Li Heaven Abyss with a chilling stare. "So... it would be best if you died for me."    

    

Li Heaven Abyss sneered disdainfully. "Kid, do you think I'm Blood Nine Underworlds? You're not qualified to kill me!"    

    

"Shall we find out if I'm qualified? One slash from the Green Emperor!" Peter Parker retorted coldly.    

    

As his voice faded, Peter channeled the Green Emperor's Secret Art of Longevity with all his might and executed the final move of the Green Emperor Sword Technique.    

    

Boom!    

    

A sword energy burst forth from the Human Emperor Sword, cutting through the sky with a whoosh. The world seemed powerless to hide the dazzling sword rainbow.    

    

The sword rainbow shattered the heavenly gate, and a peerless sword immortal in billowing green robes emerged from the immortal gate, descending like a deity from the high heavens.    

    

"Little fellow, it's been a while since our paths last crossed. Your knack for making enemies seems to have grown even stronger," the green-robed sword immortal observed, gazing down at Li Heaven Abyss from above with a detached air. "However, with the strength you wield now, my sword's power is more than enough to defeat this man."    

    

No sooner had the Green Robed Sword Immortal finished speaking than a green sword materialized in his hand and he brought it down upon Li Heaven Abyss.    

    

The sword strike was silent and deceptively serene, yet it sent shivers down Li Heaven Abyss's spine, his face contorting with sheer terror.    

    

"Immortal-Connecting Technique?" murmured Li Tianyuan, the Great Cheng Elder of the Nine Li Immortal Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. His extensive knowledge allowed him to recognize the similarities between Peter Parker's technique and the legendary Immortal Ascension Technique of the Immortal Breaking Universe at just a glance.    

    

In a time when the Immortal Path of the Immortal Breaking Universe remained unbroken, the Immortal Breaking Technique stood as a supreme immortal art practiced by the most illustrious immortal sects. This formidable technique allowed practitioners to commune with immortals and beckon them to our realm.    

    

Even before the severing of the Immortal Path, only the most exalted of immortal sects—those from which immortals had emerged—possessed the ability to wield such a divine art.    

    

Li Heaven Abyss had never imagined that Peter Parker would employ the storied Art of Immortality. The Immortal Breaking Technique had the power to summon the authentic might of immortals, a force so overwhelming that not even a cultivator at the Great Perfection Stage could withstand it.    

    

Stricken with fear, Li Heaven Abyss knew he could not remain. With a sweep of his palm, he enveloped himself in the infinite power of space and vanished into the vast void.    

    

Yet, as Li Heaven Abyss made his escape into the void, a silent sword light that hovered above sliced through the very fabric of existence, striking precisely where Li Heaven Abyss had just been...
