World's Strongest Martial Warrior

The half-step Great Luo from Jade Cloud Immortal Palace felt his soul nearly escape his body. Panicked like a startled bird, he dashed toward the horizon.    

This young man not only had the cultivation level of a Ninth Grade Golden Immortal, but he also wielded Immortal Force capable of commanding the heavens and earth—a Quasi-Great Luo Immortal Venerable.    

Despite being a half-step Golden Immortal himself, he stood no chance against such an unparalleled prodigy.    

"Did I say you could leave?"    

Peter Parker's voice was icy as he extended his palm once more, gesturing toward the fleeing half-step Great Luo. The Immortal Yuan energy of the world coalesced into a massive palm that eclipsed the sky, bearing down on the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's half-step Great Luo.    

"No..."    

Despair and fear etched the half-step Great Luo's face as he desperately tried to defend himself.    

But it was futile.    

Peter Parker had not only attained the Ninth Grade Golden Immortal status, but his Immortal Force was nearing its zenith.    

The half-step Great Luo from Jade Cloud Immortal Palace was powerless against Peter Parker's palm strike. In a moment, he was obliterated into a cloud of blood mist.    

"Ye Qingming is grateful to the Young Master for saving my life on behalf of the Ye Family."    

It took Ye Qingming a considerable time to shake off his astonishment before he quickly approached and bowed deeply to Peter Parker.    

Peter Parker dismissed the gratitude with a wave of his hand, "Don't mention it. It was no trouble at all."    

"Young Master, having eliminated members of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, they won't overlook this affront," Ye Qingming warned with a grave tone. "In my view, it would be wise for the Young Master to vacate Jade Cloud Immortal Palace territory at the earliest opportunity."    

Although the youth clad in black had exceptional abilities and was a Quasi-Great Luo Immortal Venerable with mastery over Immortal Force, capable of overpowering half-step Great Luo adversaries with ease, he was still within the domain of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

Despite its decline from former glory, Jade Cloud Immortal Palace remained a formidable Great Luo power within the Thunderclap Immortal Domain, boasting a nearly uncountable number of Great Luo Immortal Venerables.    

Rumors were swirling that the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace might have produced a Taiyi Immortal Venerable. Despite Peter Parker's reputation as a Hidden Dragon, even a formidable dragon can't easily subdue a local serpent. Within the domain of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, taking on the entire palace single-handedly would be a daunting challenge.    

"It's fine," Peter Parker said with a nonchalant smile. "I'm here on behalf of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Could you update me on their current status?"    

The Immortal World was known for its ruthless competition, with endless clashes among the various powers, both great and small.    

Peter Parker was not one to interfere in the affairs of others. Had it not been for a member of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace attacking the Ye Family, he might not have stepped in to effortlessly resolve Ye Qingming's predicament.    

Unfamiliar with the latest developments at the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, Peter Parker had refrained from acting rashly. That said, he was not ruling out the possibility of a confrontation.    

Encountering members of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace presented an opportunity he was willing to seize.    

If his suspicions were correct, and both a Ninth Grade Golden Immortal and a half-step Great Luo had met their end today, the palace would undoubtedly dispatch someone to the Ye Family again—this time, a Great Luo Immortal Venerable.    

Peter Parker planned to use the Ye Family as a lure, drawing out the Great Luo Immortal Venerable from the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. His strategy was to defeat them one by one, methodically weakening the palace's power.    

Ye Qingming was visibly taken aback, not having anticipated Peter Parker's interest in the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

Yet, if Peter Parker truly hailed from a Chaos Origin Sect and had come for the palace, it would be a stroke of good fortune for them.    

Without delay, Ye Qingming briefed Peter Parker on the state of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Despite being demoted from a Chaos Origin force to a Great Luo, the palace had managed to maintain its footing in the Thunder Immortal Domain, thanks to its foundational Chaos Origin strength.    

Over time, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace had regained substantial Yuan Qi. The number of Great Luo Immortal Venerables in their ranks was now too many to count on one hand.    

Rumors swirled that the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace had been plundering the geniuses from various major powers. This was supposedly to aid an ancient ancestor of their palace in cultivating dark arts, with the goal of achieving a breakthrough to the Taiyi Immortal Venerable realm. It seemed quite possible that the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace currently harbored a Taiyi Immortal Venerable within its ranks.    

Upon hearing Ye Qingming's briefing, Peter Parker turned to Bing Chen with a curious gaze. "Senior, what's your take on this?"    

"To ascend from the Great Luo Immortal Venerable to the Primordial Immortal Venerable realm is akin to a Golden Immortal advancing to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable level. It's not just about transforming Great Luo Immortal Force into Primordial Immortal Force; one must also grasp the Immortal Dao Law, which is a higher order of power that governs the cosmos," Bing Chen explained calmly. "Even if the elder from the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace is practicing some forbidden art, it's highly improbable that he could genuinely reach the Primordial Immortal Venerable realm."    

As Bing Chen spoke, Ye Qingming's attention was drawn to him. The profound aura emanating from Bing Chen made Ye Qingming's heart skip a beat. Great Luo Immortal Venerable! The individual accompanying Peter Parker was likely at that esteemed level.    

Ye Qingming quickly came to a realization. Given that Peter Parker was a peerless prodigy, even by Primordius standards, it made sense for him to be under the protection of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable. Meanwhile, Peter Parker's interest in the enigmatic Jade Cloud Immortal Palace grew; it appeared there were secrets yet to be uncovered within its walls.    

...    

Nestled in the renowned Jade Cloud Immortal Mountain of the Thunderclap Immortal Realm, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace stood as a prominent faction with roots in the Primordial Chaos. Its fame spread throughout the Thunderclap Immortal Realm. The Jade-Cloud Immortal Mountain, home to the palace, was recognized as one of the few hallowed sites of the Immortal Dao in the realm.    

While Peter Parker was dispatching members of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace to avert a crisis for the Ye Family, a mysterious Immortal Palace lay hidden deep within the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

An elderly man adorned in a green robe, with eyebrows as dark as forest moss, sat cross-legged at the heart of the hall. Suddenly, he opened his eyes slowly. It was as if a Heavenly Sword, capable of slicing through anything, gleamed within his gaze. A roar, laden with boundless murderous intent, echoed throughout the space.    

"Who is it? Who has slain my disciple?"    

The old man's furious bellow lingered for a moment before his figure vanished in a blink. Almost instantly, he reappeared before a strikingly attractive middle-aged man, also in a green robe, with refined features.    

The middle-aged man, taken aback by the old man's rage, managed a response. "Elder Bi Jian, may I inquire what has provoked such wrath?"    

"We'll need to consult the Sect Master on this matter," the old man replied, his face etched with somberness. "What task did you assign my disciple, Lu Qing, that led to his untimely demise?"
