World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Jiang Xingwei's voice was thick with anger as he confronted Xu Ji, then spun on his heel, storming off with his ally in tow.    

Despite possessing three Soul Burying Beads to secure the legacy of the secret realm, Peter Parker's formidable strength was overwhelming.    

Jiang Xingwei had deployed one of the beads, but it had no effect on Peter Parker.    

He doubted the remaining two would fare any better.    

This realization left Jiang Xingwei with no choice but to depart without a second thought.    

His venture into the secret realm wasn't solely for its inheritance; he was also on a mission to track down the Primeval Underworld Immortal, seize the Primeval Underworld Pearl, and improve the standing of the eighth branch palace within the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

An early elimination would jeopardize the eighth palace's ranking, rendering any potential benefits worthless.    

Peter Parker was ready to compel Jiang Xingwei to use the jade talisman to exit the secret realm when Xu Ji intervened.    

"Brother Jiang Chen, please show some leniency and let him leave."    

Peter Parker faced Xu Ji, skeptical. "You're asking me to let him off the hook, but once we're out of here, he might not be so forgiving towards you."    

"I'm aware of that," Xu Ji admitted with a wry smile. "But I belong to the eighth branch palace. They owe me a favor. Forcing Jiang Xingwei out now could negatively impact our palace's standing at the Immortal Gathering."    

Xu Ji might not have been fond of Jiang Xingwei, but his loyalty to the eighth branch palace ran deep. He didn't wish to see their position in the Nameless Immortal Palace decline.    

"Let's move on. There's more to explore here."    

Without further comment, Peter Parker proceeded towards the valley.    

The letter left behind by the golden-armored Heavenly General in the main hall indicated that this place was Tianxuan Hall, one of the 36 Heavenly Palaces under the command of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.    

Each of the 36 palace masters within the Heavenly Emperor Palace was an unparalleled Immortal King. The hall they had previously entered was simply a remnant of a Great Luo Heavenly General's legacy. It was highly likely that deeper within the valley lay additional Great Luo Inheritances, and perhaps even Immortal King Inheritances awaited discovery.    

As Peter Parker was on the verge of venturing further into the valley, he detected two faint disturbances emanating from its depths. Moments later, two formidable ancient underworld immortals emerged into view. Peter recognized one of them immediately; it was the black-armored Immemorial Underworld Immortal with whom he had previously clashed.    

Accompanying the black-armored figure was a scholarly middle-aged man exuding an even more enigmatic presence. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, he regarded Peter with a calm and penetrating gaze, his eyes betraying not a hint of dullness but rather a peculiar intensity.    

"I've heard of your mastery over the Heavenly Emperor Seal. May I see it?" the man inquired.    

Without indulging in idle chatter, Peter called upon the Heavenly Immortal's power within him. He executed the first technique of the Heavenly Emperor Seal, the Immortal Soul Extinguishing Seal, and directed it at the middle-aged man.    

With a slight extension of his hand, the man conjured an invisible force that halted Peter's attack in its tracks. With a mere flick of his finger, he effortlessly neutralized the power of Peter's seal.    

"So, it is indeed the Heavenly Emperor Seal," the man mused to himself before smiling at Peter. "Time has certainly flown; I cannot fathom how many years have passed. At last, the Imperial Prince has emerged."    

Peter was taken aback. "The Imperial Prince?"    

The man's smile broadened. "By mastering the Heavenly Emperor Seal, you have assumed the role of the Imperial Prince of the Heavenly Emperor Palace."    

Peter, filled with curiosity, pressed on. "This must be one of the 36 Heavenly Palaces, the Profound Sky Palace. What became of the Heavenly Emperor Palace? How did it end up in this state?"    

The middle-aged man's eyes held a depth of knowledge as he replied, "There are matters for which you simply do not yet have the time to understand."    

The scholarly middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I came here to tell you that it's not wise to enter the depths of the valley just yet. Return when you've advanced to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm."    

"Alright!"    

Peter Parker nodded in agreement, choosing to remain silent.    

He sensed no malice from the scholarly man, and his advice not to venture further into the valley suggested potential danger.    

Besides...    

The refined gentleman possessed immense power. Even if Peter were to exhaust all his resources, he wouldn't be able to gain entry against his wishes.    

"Prince, be cautious with the Heavenly Emperor Seal. Its careless use could bring you serious trouble."    

With a flick of his finger, the refined man sent a token, inscribed with the character 'Xuan', soaring towards Peter. "Should danger arise, use this token to find this location."    

"Thank you, senior."    

Peter accepted the token with gratitude and bowed respectfully. He then turned and escorted Xu Ji out of the valley.    

...    

As Peter and his companion departed, Yan Li from the third branch palace emerged at the valley's edge with a fellow disciple.    

"Senior brother Yan Li, this valley seems extraordinary. I suspect a significant opportunity lies within."    

The disciple's eyes sparkled with excitement at the sight of the valley.    

Yan Li nodded thoughtfully. "The energy here bears a resemblance to the aura of ancient sect ruins we've previously explored, though it seems far more potent. We must proceed with caution."    

As Yan Li readied himself to enter, a sudden gust of wind erupted from the valley, and two figures dashed out.    

Yan Li's heart skipped a beat, and he fixated on the pair emerging from within.    

Recognizing their faces, his eyes narrowed with intensity, and he bellowed furiously, "Peter Parker, it's you!"    

Peter caught Yan Li's gaze and offered a wry smile. "Yan Li, it's been a while. How have you been?"    

"Peter Parker, I was concerned that I might not be able to locate you. Imagine my surprise when you took the initiative to come to me. I've been searching high and low, and it hardly took any effort to track you down."    

Yan Li's smile was icy, his entire being radiating an intense aura of lethal intent. "I'm curious to see who might come to your rescue in this hidden realm today!"    

In contrast, Peter Parker remained strikingly composed in the face of Yan Li's overwhelming hostility. He stood confidently, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at Yan Li with a serene demeanor. His voice, soft yet carrying, echoed through the heavens.    

"Yan Li, remember how a single punch from me sent you reeling in the Nameless Immortal City? Rest assured, I can defeat you just as easily now. It seems to me that you're the one courting death!"
