World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Ji An was taken aback by the staggering talent of the young man in the black robe standing before him. It was almost inconceivable that someone so young could possess such formidable power. Even with his own considerable abilities as a sixth-grade Heaven Immortal, Ji An doubted he could defeat him with ease.    

"Senior apprentice-brother Ji An, allow me to assist you!" Wan Xinghan suddenly materialized beside Ji An, ready to lend his support.    

Peter Parker, once merely an eighth-grade True Immortal with the battle prowess of a fifth-grade Heaven Immortal, had now advanced to the ninth-grade True Immortal realm. His strength was such that even Ji An might struggle to overcome him.    

Meanwhile, Lu Ding's use of the Immortal Swallowing Art proved futile against Luo Wuji's defenses. This left Wan Xinghan with no choice but to launch an attack without a second thought. He knew they needed to combine their strengths to swiftly take down Peter Parker.    

"This kid's combat strength is off the charts. Be cautious," Ji An warned, inhaling deeply before unsheathing a long sword of the Golden Immortal level. A terrifyingly sharp aura burst forth from him, and with a tremble of his sword, he lunged at Peter Parker.    

"Azure Cloud Instant Killing Sword!" he exclaimed.    

With a flash of chilling brilliance, the sword light vanished into the clouds, only to reemerge directly above Peter Parker, descending with an unstoppable, razor-sharp force.    

Simultaneously, Wan Xinghan unleashed the power of the Dark Nether Chill Pearl, a force so cold it could freeze the very heavens, and hurled himself at Peter Parker.    

Undaunted by the onslaught from Wan Xinghan and his ally, Peter Parker summoned the Allheaven Immortal Sword into his palm with a flourish. He then thrust his hand upward, releasing two resplendent sword Qis.    

Bang! Bang!    

The sword Qis met the assaults of Ji An and Wan Xinghan head-on, resulting in a thunderous clash.    

The heavens and the earth quaked, and the void burst into chaos. Ji An's body shook violently as he stumbled backward through the emptiness, retreating step by step. Across from him, Wan Xinghan fared even worse. His form was hurled more than a hundred meters, akin to a kite whose string had snapped, spewing blood like a geyser as he plummeted from the sky.    

Wan Xinghan lifted his head, his gaze landing on Peter Parker, and his eyes widened with disbelief and shock. It was clear he hadn't anticipated Peter Parker's power to surge to such a fearsome level in the mere months following the conclusion of the Great Luo Secret Realm. Even with Ji An by his side, at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Heaven Immortal realm, they stood no chance against Peter Parker.    

"It must be because the kid secured the Great Luo's legacy!" Wan Xinghan's face darkened at the thought. Before the Great Luo Trial, Peter Parker had used a Tree Essence Fruit to ascend to the initial stage of the Eighth Stage True Immortal Realm, barely trailing behind him. Yet, since the end of the Great Luo Trials, Peter Parker had made consecutive breakthroughs, skyrocketing to the half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm in a single bound! Such an astounding pace of advancement was beyond belief.    

Without the Great Luo inheritance from the Absolute Cold Immortal Venerable, how could Peter Parker have possibly achieved the half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm so swiftly? The thought of Peter Parker seizing the chance that was rightfully his made Wan Xinghan so frustrated he felt like spitting blood.    

"Junior Brother Xinghan, this kid has already tapped into the essence of a Heavenly Immortal's power and has reached the half-step Heavenly Immortal realm. I'm afraid that even together, we're no match for him. Prepare to fall back," Ji An advised, inhaling deeply as his eyes fixed on Peter Parker with a newfound gravity.    

The youth clad in black before him was nothing short of a prodigious talent, destined to rise as an Immortal King. Though merely at the half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm, his combat prowess surpassed even that of Ji An, a Sixth Grade Heavenly Immortal. And to top it off, the weapon in the young man's grasp was the formidable Everlasting Immortal Sword.    

Even if he teamed up with Wan Xinghan, they wouldn't stand a chance against Peter Parker. Meanwhile, Lu Ding could employ the Azure Cloud Immortal Swallowing Art all he wanted, but it wouldn't give him an edge over Luo Wuji. The situation was dire; they all faced the very real possibility of meeting their end today.    

"No! I will reclaim the Supreme Cold Immortal's inheritance from Peter Parker today, whatever it takes!" Wan Xinghan's eyes blazed with intensity. With a swift motion, he summoned a jade token in his palm, radiating an ominous energy.    

"The power of a Golden Immortal... the power of that individual..." Ji An's eyes narrowed as he felt the chilling wave emanating from the jade token.    

As a leading prodigy of the Azure Cloud Immortal Estate's younger generation and the chosen disciple of a seventh-grade Golden Immortal elder from the same estate, Wan Xinghan was naturally endowed with his mentor's ace up the sleeve.    

With Wan Xinghan revealing such a powerful asset, it was clear that he was resolute in claiming the Great Luo inheritance from Immortal Sovereign Juhan. "Peter Parker, this is your final warning. Surrender the Great Luo inheritance," Wan Xinghan demanded, the jade token in his grip and his gaze icy. "Persist in your obstinacy, and I assure you, you'll meet an unmarked end."    

As the esteemed disciple of the Cangyun Immortal Estate's seventh-grade Golden Immortal, Wan Xinghan was always equipped with his master's secret weapon. On a previous expedition, he had crossed a seventh-grade Heavenly Immortal and was forced to play his master's hand.    

Emerging from the Great Luo Secret Realm, Wan Xinghan was hell-bent on capturing the Great Luo's legacy. Not only had he returned to the Vast Cloud Immortal Estate to recruit the support of two Heavenly Immortals, but he had also proactively secured another ace from his Master.    

The jade token he wielded was crafted by his Master, imbued with a sliver of a Golden Immortal's might left by his mentor. And with his Master's prowess as a seventh-grade Golden Immortal, even a mere fragment of his power was enough to obliterate an average seventh-grade Heaven Immortal with ease.    

Confronted with Peter Parker, who boasted a half-step to Heaven Immortal cultivation, Wan Xinghan was compelled to consider his last resort. He refrained from activating the jade token to eliminate Peter Parker, primarily because he feared the overwhelming force left by his master. Such power could obliterate Peter Parker's physical form and the immortal crystals, annihilating his very essence.    

How then could Wan Xinghan lay claim to the coveted Great Luo inheritance from Peter Parker? Consequently, Wan Xinghan was reluctant to play his ace unless absolutely necessary.    

"What an intense Golden Immortal presence!" Peter Parker observed, his gaze sharpening as he examined the jade token in Wan Xinghan's grasp.    

Given that the Cangyun Immortal Estate stood as the preeminent authority in Cangyun State, it was hardly surprising that Wan Xinghan, a distinguished prodigy of the estate, held a potent relic from its esteemed elders. Peter could sense the formidable energy within the token, an energy potent enough to challenge even a seasoned seventh-grade Heaven Immortal.    

Yet, what perplexed Peter Parker was Wan Xinghan's previous restraint. Why hadn't he employed this formidable asset to secure the Great Luo inheritance within the Great Luo Secret Realm? At that juncture, Peter's own strength was considerably inferior to its current level. Had Wan Xinghan used his trump card then, Peter doubted he could have withstood it.
