World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Wan Xinghan's eyes blazed with rage upon seeing that Peter Parker had not only survived his punch but had also managed to claim the tree demon essence fruit. Anger flared across his face uncontrollably.    

At that moment, Wan Xinghan realized that the young man in black who had attacked was the very target the Lu family had instructed him to confront.    

To Wan Xinghan, a mere seventh-tier True Immortal was hardly worth his attention.    

He had assumed that his punch would easily dispatch his adversary.    

Yet, to his astonishment, not only did his opponent withstand the blow, but he also snatched the four Tree Yao Essence Fruits right from under the Tree Yao's nose!    

It was worth noting that Wan Xinghan had unleashed his full fury with that punch. In esteemed places like the Heavenly Water Immortal City and the Eternal River Immortal City, even a ninth-tier True Immortal prodigy like He Chenyi might struggle to endure such force.    

Wan Xinghan was utterly baffled as to how this seventh-tier True Immortal could have possibly withstood his attack.    

Peter Parker, unfazed by Wan Xinghan's wrath, promptly picked up a tree demon essence fruit and swallowed it without a second thought.    

By taking such a bold move, he had not only enraged Wan Xinghan further but also risked drawing the ire of the tree demon itself. The situation was dire.    

He needed to consume a Tree Demon Essence Fruit to instantly regain his full strength. Only then could he face the imminent challenges.    

Once Peter Parker ingested the fruit, a surge of energy, refreshing as a spring breeze, flowed through his body, replenishing the True Immortal power he had expended in the earlier skirmish.    

In the blink of an eye, Peter Parker had bounced back from his post-battle fatigue.    

Simultaneously, a pleasant notification chimed in his mind: "Ding! You have consumed a Tree Demon Essence Fruit. You have gained the power of a True Immortal. '10000000 * 100!'"    

"Ding! You have ascended to the Eighth Stage of the True Immortal Realm!"    

Witnessing the leap in his cultivation level, a spark of exhilaration lit up in Peter Parker's eyes.    

Clearly, this was an unexpected turn of events.    

After consuming the Tree Demon Essence Fruit, Peter Parker not only instantly returned to his peak condition but also enhanced his cultivation base by a whole level, advancing from the Seventh Stage True Immortal realm to the Eighth Stage True Immortal realm!    

Upon reflection, Peter Parker quickly came to an understanding. The Tree Demon Essence Fruit was renowned as a supreme immortal fruit capable of elevating a Heavenly Immortal by one grade. Considering he was merely a seventh-grade True Immortal, the boost from the tree demon made his ascent to the eighth-grade True Immortal realm seem almost effortless.    

"Big Brother Peter Parker has made a breakthrough with the tree demon fruit!" Luo Qing'er exclaimed with joy from below, as she noticed the transformation in Peter Parker's aura.    

He Chenyi's gaze also lit up with hope. He had initially believed that their half-day encounter with the tree demon would ultimately benefit Wan Xinghan's disciple as a sort of unintended wedding present.    

But he hadn't seen this coming.    

In the heat of Wan Xinghan's confrontation with the tree demon, Peter Parker boldly claimed the Tree Demon Essence Fruit for himself, using it not only to heal but to achieve a breakthrough to the Eighth Stage True Immortal realm!    

Given Peter Parker's innate talent and strength, reaching the Eighth Stage True Immortal realm might just qualify him to challenge Wan Xinghan.    

"How could this kid have used the tree demon's essence fruit to break through? How is this even possible?" Wan Xinghan, witnessing Peter Parker's rapid advancement to the Eighth Stage True Immortal realm, was filled with incredulity.    

As a core disciple of the Great Luo's Azure Cloud Immortal Manor, Wan Xinghan's knowledge of the Tree Demon Essence Fruit was unsurpassed by anyone there. Although the fruit was touted as a supreme immortal fruit that could facilitate a breakthrough to the First Stage for a Heavenly Immortal, it was expected to be a gradual process.    

For an ordinary Heavenly Immortal expert to fully assimilate the Tree Demon Essence Fruit's energy would typically take three to five months. A True Immortal would likely require even more time.    

Yet here was this young upstart, a mere seventh-grade True Immortal, who had managed to absorb the Tree Demon Essence Fruit's energy instantaneously, propelling himself to the eighth-grade True Immortal level in a single bound.    

This kind of ability was certainly beyond the reach of an average True Immortal.    

Wan Xinghan was aware that only those with the legendary Leakproof Immortal Physique could absorb Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruit instantaneously.    

Could it be that this young man before him had the legendary Leakproof Immortal Physique?    

The Leakproof Immortal Physique was one of the most esteemed and unparalleled Immortal Physiques known throughout the Immortal World.    

Nearly all beings with such an unparalleled Immortal Physique were considered prodigies with exceptional talents.    

Yet...    

Such an Immortal Physique was a rarity, even in the vast expanses of the Immortal World.    

Within the Northern Frost Immortal Domain, only the Northern Frost Immortal Palace, the sole Immortal King faction there, boasted someone with an unparalleled Immortal Physique.    

Neither the Heavenly Water Immortal City nor the Eternal River Immortal City had even a Zenith Heaven faction.    

How could such a place produce someone with such a remarkable Immortal Physique?    

Wan Xinghan managed to contain his astonishment and fixed his gaze on Peter Parker. "Kid, who are you?"    

If this young man truly possessed the Leakproof Immortal Physique, his background must be extraordinary.    

"It doesn't matter who I am," Peter Parker replied with a faint smile, the corner of his mouth curling slightly. "What matters is that the Tree Demon's Essence Fruit is now in my possession. Are you still considering a challenge for it?"    

Wan Xinghan's eyes sparkled as he responded in a deep tone, "Hand over one Tree Demon's Essence Fruit, and I'll back off. How does that sound?"    

This young man likely had the Leakproof Immortal Physique, and having advanced to the Eighth Stage True Immortal realm, he was now on equal footing with Wan Xinghan, who wasn't sure he could defeat him.    

However...    

The Tree Demon's Essence Fruit was a divine Heavenly Immortal fruit, found only by chance. It was crucial for Wan Xinghan's breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal realm, so he was not inclined to relinquish it without a fight.    

Thus, Wan Xinghan proposed a trade for one Tree Demon's Essence Fruit with Peter Parker.    

After all, as a leading genius of the Great Luo's Azure Cloud Immortal Manor, and considering that Peter had secured four Tree Demon's Essence Fruits, it seemed improbable that he would risk enmity over a single fruit.    

"I don't think so," Peter Parker said with a frosty smile. "Just because you say I should give you one, doesn't mean I will. Who do you think you are?"    

The man had been skulking in the shadows, waiting for them to engage the tree demon in battle and weaken it. He only emerged to capitalize on their hard work after both had sustained serious injuries. Had Peter not seized the opportunity to claim the tree demon's essence fruit for himself, Wan Xinghan would have undoubtedly taken every last one.    

Would Wan Xinghan have shared the tree demon essence fruit if he had been the one to obtain it? Highly unlikely.    

Moreover, Wan Xinghan had secured his entry into the Great Luo Secret Realm under the auspices of the Lu family. It was possible he had already struck a deal to target Peter on their behalf.    

Given these circumstances, why would Peter even consider handing over a Tree Demon Essence Fruit to Wan Xinghan?    

Now, having ascended to the Eighth Stage True Immortal Realm with the aid of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit, Peter stood on equal footing with Wan Xinghan. Ever since acquiring his system, Peter Parker had never backed down from a challenge, and he wasn't about to start now.
