World's Strongest Martial Warrior

0Peter Parker couldn't help but squint when the Skyward Blade made an unexpected entrance. From their first encounter, Peter sensed that this enigmatic figure had ulterior motives. Now, with the Skyward Blade's abrupt arrival at the main peak of the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect, it seemed likely that he was after the fabled treasure.    

    

"What are you implying, young master? Just because someone has joined the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace doesn't mean I, Skyblade, acknowledge her as my Young Lord."    

    

Skyblade scoffed, "Ling Changkong, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace is the prime suspect in the fall of the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect. And yet, you handed over our most sacred treasure to them. How can you claim to honor the legacy of our sect's founder?"    

    

Ling Changkong's voice was heavy with authority, "Skyward Blade, enough of your baseless accusations. Xiyao carries the bloodline of our Heaven-Cleaving Ancestral Master. It's unthinkable that she would align with the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace."    

    

"But she's now a disciple there!" Skyward Blade retorted with a cold snort. "What does it matter if she bears the Grandmaster's bloodline? For all we know, she could have already turned her back on the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect to join our rivals."    

    

"Chao Tiandao, you've crossed the line!" Ling Changkong's anger was palpable as he unleashed a formidable aura that bore down on Skyblade. "I won't stand for such disrespect towards our Ancestral Master's lineage!"    

    

Unmoved by Ling Changkong's display, Skyward Blade met Peter Parker's gaze with an icy detachment. "Enough, Ling Changkong. I'm not here to engage in idle chatter. I refuse to let this youngster walk away with the ultimate treasure that our Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect has guarded so fiercely!"    

    

"Skyward Blade, there was a disturbance in the Heaven Breaking Ancient Region recently. I summoned you to protect the Ancestral Master's supreme legacy, yet you did nothing. And now you have the audacity to claim you're here to safeguard it?"    

    

Ling Changkong's gaze was as cold as ice when he said, "It's clear you've come here with malicious intent."    

    

"I simply cannot stand by and watch the supreme treasure of the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect fall into the hands of outsiders."    

    

A fiery light sparked involuntarily in Skyward Blade's eyes. "Ling Changkong, the treasure our Ancestral Master left behind is a supreme immortal treasure. If we study it, we might just attain immortality through Dao Seeking. Let's cast aside our current plight and exact our revenge on the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!"    

    

The Heaven-Seeking Saber's intentions were no longer hidden.    

    

Indeed, having survived by harnessing this form of consciousness energy, Skyward Blade had been harboring certain ambitions.    

    

He yearned to claim the Immortal Artifact left by the Ancestral Master of the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect. His goal was to wield this supreme Immortal Artifact in an attempt to achieve immortality and transcend his present condition.    

    

However...    

    

The supreme immortal treasure was always safeguarded at the main peak by Ling Changkong and his allies. Furthermore, since he lacked the knowledge to wield the treasure, he had refrained from acting.    

    

This time was different.    

    

Ling Xiyao, a direct descendant of the Ancestral Master, had made an unexpected appearance, presenting a golden opportunity for Tiandao.    

    

Originally...    

    

Skyward Blade had hoped to lure the two disciples of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace and the mysterious youth in the black robe to the main peak. His plan was to engage in battle with Ling Changkong and his companions until both sides were gravely wounded, at which point he would emerge to claim the spoils.    

    

Yet, the turn of events had completely blindsided him.    

    

The two prodigious disciples from the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace were effortlessly defeated by Peter Parker, the enigmatic young man from a distant universe.    

    

What astonished Skyward Blade the most was...    

    

Upon reaching the main peak, this mysterious youth didn't engage in a fight to the death with Ling Changkong and the others. Instead, with Ling Xiyao's assistance, he secured the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect's supreme immortal treasure.    

    

Skyward Blade had long considered that treasure his own. How could he possibly stand by and watch Peter Parker walk away with it so easily?    

    

Therefore...    

    

Despite the unexpected course of events, Skyward Blade found himself with no other option but to intervene.    

    

"Skyblade, are you truly intent on claiming the immortal treasure left by the Ancestral Master?" Ling Changkong asked, his smile tinged with frost. "Remember, you're a ghost of the past. You're nothing more than a will energy body sustained by the remnants of an ancient formation. And now you aspire to achieve immortality through Dao Seeking? You're living in a fantasy."    

    

"Why not?" Skyblade retorted, his eyes wild with fervor. "In this world, everything has potential—be it a blade of grass or a stone. With the right opportunities, Immortal Ascension through Dao Seeking is within reach. Should we obtain that ultimate immortal treasure, who's to say it's not possible?"    

    

"Skyward Blade, you've lost your grip on reality. True, any being can pursue Immortal Ascension through Dao Seeking, but that path is closed to us," Ling Changkong replied, shaking his head before continuing in a measured tone, "Our purpose was always to safeguard that Immortal Artifact. Now that it has found its rightful owner, our existence is redundant."    

    

With that, Ling Changkong's hands moved rapidly, conjuring a series of enigmatic hand seals. Skyward Blade's face fell as he realized the implications. "He's going to destroy the formation. What are you waiting for? Attack now!"    

    

Boom! Boom! Boom! At Skyward Blade's urging, five formidable energy bodies burst forth atop the main peak of the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect. Carrying a tempest of destructive force, they hurtled toward Ling Changkong.    

    

"Bang!" Ling Changkong, along with two others, mounted a desperate counterattack. Despite their efforts, they were repelled over ten thousand feet, their forms fading into near transparency, a sign of their waning presence.    

    

These were no ordinary beings but energy bodies animated by an indomitable will. Depleted of their energy, replenishment was a daunting task. Their recent clash with Peter Parker had already drained much of their strength. And now, they faced the twelve former Peak Masters of the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect, whose might rivaled their own.    

    

In their current state, how could they possibly withstand the onslaught of these five adversaries?    

    

Ling Changkong gazed at the five energy forms before him and let out a self-mocking chuckle. "It's no surprise that you all disregard my commands. Clearly, Skyblade has cast a spell over you."    

    

An elder energy form regarded Ling Changkong with a cool detachment. "Sect Leader, your words to the Peak Leader hold truth. The supreme immortal treasure left by our Ancestral Master may not guarantee that one on the path of Dao Seeking will ascend to immortality. Why persist in this folly after freeing yourself from your affliction?"    

    

"It seems to me that you're the ones being obstinate," Ling Changkong retorted icily. "You were long gone when the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect fell. No treasure, no matter how miraculous, can breathe life into the dead, much less grant immortality to those seeking the Dao. You're chasing fantasies."    

    

"Why waste time with idle chatter? Let's eliminate them and reclaim the Ancestral Master's immortal treasure," one of them interjected.    

    

Skyward Blade radiated a lethal aura as he stepped forward, brandishing an energy blade capable of rending the very skies, and struck at Ling Changkong.    

    

"Little brother, we three will hold them off. Take the Immortal Artifact and make your escape. Once you're beyond the bounds of the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect, they won't be able to touch you," Ling Changkong instructed Peter Parker before charging towards Tian Dao and his cohort.
