Wan Xinghan's eyes blazed with fury as he watched Peter Parker stride out of the main hall. Having secured entry into the Great Luo Secret Realm through the Lu family of Heavenly Water Immortal City, Wan Xinghan had been confident that his talent and strength would render him unbeatable within its bounds.
Yet, he hadn't anticipated this.
A wildcard like Peter Parker had emerged in the Great Luo Secret Realm, matching his own abilities and thwarting his schemes at every turn. Wan Xinghan's grasp on the Tree Fairy Fruit had slipped away just outside the Great Luo Immortal Palace, snatched by none other than Peter Parker. And now, during the Great Luo Trial, his rival had once again seized the Great Luo inheritance that should have been his. Wan Xinghan's rage was palpable.
If glares could slay, Jiang Chen would have perished a thousand times under the intensity of Wan Xinghan's stare.
Unperturbed by the lethal look, Peter Parker responded coolly, "Don't glare at me like that. If you want the Great Luo inheritance, make your move. Otherwise, get out of my way."
Peter Parker's current prowess, bolstered by the Great Luo Immortal Sword, was more than enough to eliminate Wan Xinghan, but he had no desire to resort to killing unless absolutely necessary. After all, Wan Xinghan was a prodigious disciple from the preeminent Luo faction in the Azure Cloud Continent, the Azure Cloud Immortal Manor.
Peter Parker's stay in Cang Yun Province would be brief, and he harbored little fear of the Azure Cloud Immortal Manor. However, he maintained a strong alliance with the Luo Water Merchant Union in Tianshui Immortal City. Killing Wan Xinghan could potentially provoke the Cang Yun Immortal Mansion to retaliate against the Luo Water Merchant Union, a consequence Peter Parker was keen to avoid.
"Peter Parker," Wan Xinghan said, fixing him with a steely gaze, "I acknowledge your strength, but remember, we're in Cangyun State of the Northern Frost Immortal Domain, not the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace of the Absolute Sword Immortal Domain. The inheritance of the Absolute Cold Immortal Venerable is crucial to me. Hand over the Immortal Sovereign Absolute Cold's legacy, and it will be to our mutual benefit."
Peter Parker narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
Wan Xinghan offered a faint smile in response. "It's not a threat. I'm simply stating the facts."
"Really?"
Peter Parker gave Wan Xinghan a disinterested look and proposed, "Obtaining Immortal Sovereign Jue Han's inheritance isn't out of the question. Hand over ten thousand immortal stones, and it's yours."
Wan Xinghan's face darkened at Peter Parker's demand. "Peter Parker, you've got to be joking."
Ten thousand immortal stones was no trifling sum.
Even for most Golden Immortals, it wouldn't be easy to produce such an amount.
Clearly, Peter Parker was naming an outrageous price because he had no intention of parting with the Great Luo inheritance.
"The Great Luo Immortal Venerable's inheritance is priceless. By asking for only ten thousand immortal stones, I'm already showing you considerable respect."
Peter Parker, growing impatient, snapped, "Enough talk. You either purchase the Great Luo inheritance for ten thousand immortal stones or leave immediately."
"Peter Parker, this is on you!"
A fierce glint flashed in Wan Xinghan's eyes as he heard Peter Parker's ultimatum. The True Immortal power within him exploded with a resounding boom, and he directed the Dark Cold Pearl to launch an assault on Peter Parker.
"You're digging your own grave!"
Peter Parker shook his head, and with a swift motion, the Skyfrost Immortal Sword in his hand traced an arc through the air. A dazzling sword Qi tore through the heavens and earth, striking at Wan Xinghan.
Before setting foot in the Great Luo Immortal Palace, Peter Parker had never feared Wan Xinghan.
Now, wielding the Skyfrost Immortal Sword, which surpassed even the Great Luo Immortal Sword housed within the Mysterious Underworld Cold Pearl, Peter Parker regarded Wan Xinghan as no real threat.
With a swift 'whoosh,' Peter Parker's sword sliced effortlessly, shattering Wan Xinghan's attack. The Dark Nether Cold Pearl in Wan Xinghan's grasp even sustained a fine crack under the force of Peter Parker's blade.
Wan Xinghan grunted, his body flung back a thousand feet, landing in a pitiful heap.
As he steadied himself, his complexion ashen, his gaze locked onto the immortal sword in Peter Parker's hand, a deep-seated fear taking hold in his eyes.
"Damn it! It's the Great Luo Immortal Sword!"
Though Peter Parker's strength remained unchanged after receiving the Great Luo inheritance, he now wielded the formidable Great Luo Immortal Sword.
The sword significantly boosted Peter Parker's combat abilities.
Outside the Great Luo Immortal Palace, Wan Xinghan had failed to gain the upper hand against an unarmed Peter Parker. Now, facing Peter with the Great Luo Immortal Sword, what chance did he have?
Even deploying all his secret techniques, Wan Xinghan might still fall short against Peter Parker.
Today, it seemed an insurmountable task to wrest the Great Luo inheritance from Peter.
"Peter Parker, mark my words. This isn't over between us!"
Wan Xinghan, a prodigious disciple of the Cangyun Immortal Estate, was no fool. He knew that persisting in this fight could cost him his life.
With a frosty look, Wan Xinghan turned and made his way to the outer sect of the Great Luo Immortal Palace.
Peter watched Wan Xinghan retreat, choosing not to pursue.
His journey to the Great Luo Secret Realm had been fruitful. It was only a matter of time before he ascended to the Ninth Grade True Immortal realm, or even the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Wan Xinghan was hardly worth his concern.
Peter refrained from eliminating Wan Xinghan to avoid complications with the Luo Water Merchant Alliance.
If Wan Xinghan proved wise, all would be well. But should he stir up trouble again, Peter wouldn't hesitate to erase him from existence.
Witnessing Wan Xinghan's effortless defeat, He Chenyi and the others could only offer wry smiles and shake their heads.
Together, He Chenyi and Ning Gaoyang could barely hold their own against Wan Xinghan. Yet Peter had dispatched him with a single sword strike.
In the shadow of Peter's brilliance, they felt utterly insignificant.
"Big Brother Peter Parker, congratulations on claiming the Great Luo inheritance," Luo Qing'er approached with a smile and then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Now that you've inherited from Immortal Sovereign Jue Han, will the Great Luo Secret Realm close sooner than expected?"
"The opening and closing of the Great Luo Secret Realm are directly tied to the cold tide in the outside world. When the cold tide of the Juexian Mountain Range comes again, the realm will automatically seal itself."
Peter Parker shook his head, a smile on his face. "I'm planning to spend some time cultivating in the Great Luo Immortal Palace. Feel free to keep exploring the Great Luo Secret Realm or you might choose to stay and cultivate here."
At the moment, Peter Parker had not only the immortal crystals he still needed to absorb, but he had also amassed a considerable number of immortal stones and pills from his time in the Great Luo Secret Realm, including a coveted Great Luo Immortal Pill.
With these resources at his disposal, Peter Parker was determined to cultivate in solitude and leverage them to achieve a breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in one decisive move!
