In a flash, Peter materialized at the location of the immortal crystal, reaching for Huang Wencheng's prize.
"Kid, you've pushed me to this point. Today, even if it costs me my soul, I, Huang Wencheng, will take you down with me!" Huang Wencheng's menacing visage emerged on the pale yellow immortal crystal as he realized Peter had no intention of sparing him.
Without delay, the crystal's glow intensified, and a fearsome energy began to build up rapidly before exploding like a volcanic eruption.
Peter's face registered alarm. Retreating swiftly, he brandished the Skyfrost Immortal Sword, slashing dozens of times. A brilliant net of sword energy formed in front of him, shielding him from the devastating blast of the immortal crystal's explosion.
The void shattered with a resounding boom, sending shockwaves throughout the cosmos.
Peter staggered, pushed back dozens of steps as he tread upon the void. The self-destruction of a Seventh Grade Heavenly Immortal packed an awe-inspiring punch.
Had it not been for his swift reflexes, Huang Wencheng's final assault would have inflicted grave injuries.
"What a waste of a seventh-grade Heaven Immortal's immortal crystal," Peter mused, looking at the site of Huang Wencheng's self-destruction with a tinge of regret. Immortal crystals were crucial for enhancing his cultivation.
Yet, given Peter's current level, crystals below the Heavenly Immortal rank were of little benefit. He suspected that even low-grade Heavenly Immortal crystals would scarcely aid him.
Still, the energy within a seventh-grade Heavenly Immortal crystal could significantly boost his cultivation.
But the consciousness within a Heavenly Immortal crystal was far more potent than that of a True Immortal, fully capable of controlling the crystal's energy, leading to its immediate self-destruction.
Thus, it was evident that relying on capturing immortal crystals to enhance his cultivation would be no simple feat going forward.
"A seventh-grade Heaven Immortal, just gone like that?"
Chu Lingyun gazed at the unfolding scene with wide eyes, her shock lingering for what felt like an eternity. In both the Mystic Medical Immortal Sect and the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, seventh-grade Celestial Immortals were esteemed as rare and formidable beings. Combined, the two sects could scarcely boast more than ten individuals who had ascended to the level of Seventh Heaven Immortals or higher. This turn of events was beyond Chu Lingyun's wildest expectations.
Peter Parker, a mere first-grade Heaven Immortal, had vanquished Huang Wencheng in a mere three strikes, even compelling him to detonate his immortal crystals!
In that moment, a glimmer of hope sparked in Chu Lingyun's eyes, radiant with newfound possibility. With Peter Parker's unparalleled prowess, capable of defeating a seventh-grade Heaven Immortal, their Profound Medical Immortal Sect might just snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Swoosh!
As Peter Parker delivered the fatal blow to Huang Wencheng, a disheveled elder in green robes hastened through the sky towards them. It was none other than Ye Cangmu.
"Peter, what's happened here? Where's Huang Wencheng?" Ye Cangmu inquired, his gaze shifting between the two unscathed figures before him, his expression one of sheer astonishment.
He had exerted his full power to subdue Huang Wencheng, only to be ensnared by an Immortal Art and left behind as Huang Wencheng pursued Peter Parker and Chu Lingyun. It had taken considerable effort for Ye Cangmu to extricate himself.
A surge of formidable energy had recently erupted from this location, leading Ye Cangmu to fear the worst—that Peter Parker and Chu Lingyun had fallen to Huang Wencheng. Yet, here they stood, unscathed. What baffled Ye Cangmu the most was the absence of Huang Wencheng, who had earlier been in hot pursuit. Could Huang Wencheng have lost their trail?
"He's been killed by me," Peter Parker stated nonchalantly. "You must have felt that strange and intense disturbance earlier. That was the result of Huang Wencheng blowing up his immortal crystals."
After hearing Peter Parker's revelation, Ye Cangmu began to doubt his own hearing. Huang Wencheng was dead, despite having been forced by Peter to detonate the immortal crystals. It was inconceivable that nothing could be done to Peter Parker.
One must understand that Huang Wencheng was a Seventh Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, with strength that was even slightly superior to Ye Cangmu's. And Peter Parker? He was just a Grade One Heavenly Immortal. The idea that a Grade One Heavenly Immortal could effortlessly dispatch a Grade Seven Heavenly Immortal was beyond belief. How could such an extraordinary being exist?
"Peter's innate talent is truly unparalleled. Such a rarity across the ages," Ye Cangmu mused.
It took a considerable amount of time for Ye Cangmu to regain his composure. He then respectfully bowed to Peter Parker and said, "Peter, with our Profound Medical Immortal Sect in the throes of a life-and-death crisis, I must return immediately. I entrust Miss Lingyun to your care."
"Someone from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect has ascended to the Golden Immortal realm. Even if you go back, I'm afraid you won't make much of a difference," Peter Parker responded, shaking his head. He then inquired, "How many experts above the seventh-grade Heaven Immortal realm does the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect have? Are they all attacking the Profound Medical Immortal Sect at this moment?"
"The Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect boasts five experts above the seventh-grade Heaven Immortal realm. With Huang Wencheng now vanquished by your hand, four remain. Three are currently besieging the Profound Medical Immortal Sect, while one is likely defending the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect," Ye Cangmu explained.
Peter Parker's gaze sharpened. "In that case, let's strike the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect and take out the one guarding it."
Considering the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect had just elevated someone to the Golden Immortal realm, it would be unwise to confront them directly at the Profound Medical Immortal Sect. With most of their forces deployed in the assault, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect's headquarters would certainly be vulnerable. Instead of rushing to aid the besieged Profound Medical Immortal Sect, a direct attack on the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect's base could prove more strategic.
After eliminating the expert protecting the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect and obliterating their stronghold, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect wouldn't simply stand by. This move would, of course, provide a temporary reprieve from the Mystic Medicine Immortal Sect's predicament.
Ye Cangmu's eyes sparkled with anticipation upon hearing Peter Parker's strategy. The idea of encircling Wei to rescue Zhao was indeed clever.
Yet, he hesitated briefly before speaking up, "Peter, the guardian of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect is named Huang Tianqi. He's the Sect Master's younger brother, and his cultivation has ascended to the Eighth Grade Heaven Immortal Realm. I'm concerned he may prove to be a formidable opponent."
Peter Parker offered a slight, confident smile. "What does it matter if he's an Eighth Grade Heaven Immortal? With your assistance, I believe we can take him down!"
At present, Peter was capable of defeating a Seventh Grade Heavenly Immortal with his sword alone. Should he harness the Immortal Vanquishing Force from the Immortal Monument, he could deal devastating damage, potentially even to an Eighth Grade Heavenly Immortal, in a single blow.
And that's not all...
He also had a Zenith Heaven Immortal Pill in his possession.
Should any peril arise, he could simply ingest the Great Luo Immortal Pill to amplify his power. With such an enhancement, even advancing his cultivation by one or two grades, dispatching an Eighth Grade Heaven Immortal would indeed be effortless.
