World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Yu Sichen's gaze was vacant, disbelief etched across his face.    

He had assumed that even if Nie Hexuan, a scion of the Golden Immortal lineage, couldn't defeat Peter Parker, he would at least deplete a significant portion of Peter Parker's strength.    

But the harsh truth shattered his hopeful illusions.    

Nie Hexuan had poured all his might into that attack, only to have it effortlessly deflected by Peter Parker's sword. How could Yu Sichen possibly capitalize on this now?    

"No, I can't relinquish my claim to the top spot at the Immortal Gathering."    

A fierce, cold light flickered in Yu Sichen's eyes.    

He was resolute in his quest to secure first place at the Immortal Ascension Assembly.    

After all, becoming an honored guest of the Nameless Immortal Palace would not only solidify his ties with them but also significantly elevate his status within the Jade Toad Immortal Sect.    

And that wasn't all.    

The privileges granted to an elder of the Nameless Immortal Palace were incredibly generous, presenting a golden opportunity.    

Should he clinch the top position at the Wordless Immortal Conference, the Thoughtless Immortal Dew he'd receive would save him over a thousand years of cultivation annually.    

This would boost his cultivation speed by more than tenfold.    

At that point, he would outstrip all the prodigies of the Jade Toad Immortal Sect, positioning himself as the sect's sole heir.    

The ranking competition forged ahead.    

Before long, Peter Parker and Yu Sichen found themselves in a confrontation.    

"Kid, you've surpassed our expectations. Even Nie Hexuan, a descendant of the Great Luo, couldn't withstand a single strike from you."    

High above the ground, Yu Sichen and Peter Parker faced off, their expressions dark and foreboding.    

Peter Parker looked at Yu Sichen with a dispassionate gaze. "Though you wield the strength of a half-step Heavenly Immortal, you're still a notch below Nie Hexuan. You stand no chance in this fight."    

Yu Sichen's talent was on par with Wan Xinghan. His only edge was a slightly more advanced cultivation base than Wan Xinghan's, having reached the realm of a half-step Heavenly Immortal.    

Nie Hexuan was not just endowed with the Great Luo bloodline; he also inherited the Great Luo legacy. His prowess was on a completely different level compared to a mere genius like Yu Sichen. Given Peter Parker's current capabilities, Yu Sichen didn't stand a chance in his eyes.    

"Really? There's only one way to find out if we stand a chance," Yu Sichen retorted with a cold snort. Suddenly, a jade flute materialized in his hand. He pressed the instrument to his lips with great force and played a shrill note that pierced the air, echoing across the square.    

In that instant, despite the protective formation barrier on the elevated platform, the sound seemed to penetrate everyone in the square, pressing down on them until they felt breathless.    

"That's the Great Luo Sound!" Liu Wucheng observed the scene from the platform, his face darkening instantly.    

The Jade Toad Immortal Sect, a Great Luo faction renowned for Sound Transmission in Cang Yun State, was showing its hand. The jade flute wielded by Yu Sichen was infused with the Great Luo Sound, a legacy of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable himself!    

Liu Wucheng hadn't anticipated Yu Sichen resorting to such a powerful move just to claim victory at the Nameless Immortal Meeting. Although the Great Luo Sound that Yu Sichen released wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, even a hint of it would be a challenge for anyone below the Golden Immortal Realm to withstand.    

Yu Sichen's attack was swift and decisive, unleashing the Great Luo Sound without hesitation. Liu Wuchen was caught off guard, and now it was too late to intervene.    

"Damn it!" Liu Wucheng cursed under his breath, frustration etched on his face.    

The Nameless Immortal Gathering, organized by the Nameless Immortal Palace, was a competition for independent cultivators without any significant support, lacking the powerful advantages that come with elder sponsorship. Liu Wucheng had overlooked this when he allowed the Great Luo prodigies to enter the fray. The generous rewards for first place were intended to attract a truly exceptional talent, but now, it seemed that this oversight might have given Yu Sichen an unfair edge.    

In terms of talent and strength, Yu Sichen paled in comparison to Peter Parker. Even Nie Hexuan, the scion of the Great Luo, was not quite his equal.    

Should Yu Sichen claim the top spot at the Nameless Immortal Gathering, wouldn't that make the entire event a laughingstock?    

"Great Elder, the Nameless Immortal Gathering has always been a contest of true strength. This individual is leaning on the powerful gifts from his seniors to snatch victory. Our Nameless Immortal Palace refuses to recognize him as the champion of the Gathering. What's to be done about it?"    

The elder in the gray robe let out a disdainful snort, clearly unimpressed with Yu Sichen's tactics.    

"I just hope the kid can withstand the Great Luo Sound," Liu Wucheng murmured with a sigh.    

The rules of the Nameless Immortal Gathering hadn't explicitly forbidden the use of powerful aids given by one's elders. If Yu Sichen were to secure first place, they wouldn't be able to overturn his victory without losing face in front of the audience.    

The most favorable scenario now was for Peter Parker to successfully counter Yu Sichen's Great Luo Sound.    

However, despite Peter Parker's prodigious talent, it seemed nearly impossible for him to fend off the Great Luo Sound, an attack on par with that of a ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal, with his mere first-grade Heavenly Immortal strength.    

"So this is Yu Sichen's ace in the hole..." Peter Parker's eyes narrowed as he witnessed the formidable power Yu Sichen had unleashed, a force that seemed even mightier than Wan Xinghan's.    

"Green Emperor Sword!"    

With no hesitation, Peter Parker tapped into the full might of the Green Emperor's Secret Art of Longevity. He cleaved through the void, summoning the sword immortal in green to streak across the heavens and strike at the seemingly tangible sound.    

Yet, the sword Peter Parker wielded with all his might could only hold its own against the solidified sound wave for an instant before it exploded with a resounding crash!    

At Peter Parker's current level of cultivation, even a typical tier 7 Heavenly Immortal would likely need to evade the full-powered strike of the Green Emperor Sword. Still, it proved insufficient to block the formidable Great Luo Sound.    

Peter Parker was sent reeling back thousands of feet. The Skyfrost Immortal Sword in his grasp transformed into an immortal tablet, aglow with a shimmering immortal radiance.    

"The power of Immortal Extermination, condense for me!"    

With Peter Parker's cry, the immortal tablet transformed into the Heaven Suppressing Monument hovering above his head. The formation barrier on the platform shattered instantly, obliterated by an unseen destructive force.    

The tangible sound waves that had swept through were swiftly nullified by the Immortal Vanquishing Force.    

"As expected, the prodigies of the Great Luo are formidable opponents..."    

Utilizing the Immortal Tablet, Peter Parker harnessed the energy of annihilation to fend off Yu Sichen's assault. A ghostly pallor crept across his face involuntarily.    

Yu Sichen's ace move was undeniably potent.    

Having consecutively wielded the Green Emperor Sword and the annihilative power of the Immortal Tablet, Peter had exerted his full strength just to narrowly parry the attack.    

It was clear that he would need to exercise greater caution when engaging with the Great Luo's elite in the future. A single misstep could lead to a disastrous defeat.
