World's Strongest Martial Warrior

"It's of no concern to me."    

Unruffled by Peter Parker's tone, Yan Li replied with a smile, "It's of no concern to me either. However, since you've injured my junior brother at Purple Mist Immortal Mountain, as his senior brother, I'm compelled to inquire."    

Peter Parker's demeanor grew icy. "What are you suggesting? That you want to fight me here?"    

"You've harmed my junior brother, Yan Li. As his senior brother, it's only right that I seek justice on his behalf."    

Yan Li stood tall, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at Peter Parker with an air of superiority. "Attack me. If you can withstand three of my blows, I'll let you live."    

Peter Parker's brow creased slightly.    

His primary reason for visiting the main hall of the Nameless Immortal Palace was to support the eighteenth palace in the Immortal Gathering. He had no desire to stir up further conflict at this juncture.    

Peter Parker shifted his hand and produced the token Liu Wucheng had given him, stating coolly, "I represent the eighteenth palace of the Nameless Immortal Palace. Are you certain you wish to proceed with this confrontation?"    

"Oh?"    

Surprise flickered across Yan Li's face.    

The eighteenth branch was known as the weakest link in the Nameless Immortal Palace, its prowess unremarkable.    

He had not anticipated that this remarkable young talent at the Fourth Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm belonged to the eighteenth branch. It seemed the eighteenth sub-palace had come to the main palace's grand gathering fully prepared.    

"To think a prodigy such as yourself hails from the eighteenth sub-palace of the Nameless Immortal Palace is quite unexpected," Yan Li remarked, looking at Peter Parker with a domineering stance. "I, Yan Li, am a man of my word. Regardless of your identity, if you wish to leave unscathed today, you must endure three of my strikes!"    

A formidable presence radiated from Yan Li as he spoke.    

Having always taken a keen interest in this young prodigy of the Fourth Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm, Yan Li's curiosity was piqued even further upon learning of Peter Parker's affiliation with the eighteenth branch of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

Realizing that Yan Li had no intention of letting him go, Peter Parker could only sigh inwardly. It looked like a confrontation was inevitable today.    

"Wow, I didn't expect the guy in black to be from the Nameless Immortal Palace. This is going to be quite the spectacle."    

"Who do you think is the stronger of the two?"    

"Do we even have to ask? The 18th branch is the last of the Nameless Immortal Palace's branches. Yan Li is the top prodigy of the third sub-palace. That kid doesn't stand a chance against him."    

The crowd buzzed with speculation, clearly not favoring Peter Parker's odds.    

"Kid, get ready. You're up first!"    

Without wasting any more words, Yan Li suddenly lunged at Peter Parker, his fist crackling with lightning, aiming straight for Peter's chest.    

Peter's expression remained stoic as he countered with a punch of his own.    

Boom!    

Their fists met with a thunderous impact and then parted. Yan Li was forced to take three steps back. He looked up at Peter, who stood unflinchingly, and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.    

The onlookers formed a tight circle around them.    

"You're quite the interesting one. Here comes the second move!"    

Yan Li launched another punch, this time with even more force, at Peter.    

Peter's gaze was steady. As he prepared to deflect the blow, a tearing sound echoed from the void outside the city.    

In the next moment, Yan Li was hurled backward by an unseen force.    

A commanding voice then boomed through the sky.    

"Black Cloud Immortal Venerable, did you really think you could bully my eighteenth branch? I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on my people today!"    

As the voice filled the heavens, four figures materialized in front of Peter Parker. Leading them was a tall, imposing man in silver robes.    

Standing next to the silver-robed man was an elder Peter knew well – Liu Wucheng, the Great Elder of the Nameless Immortal Palace's 18th branch.    

Trailing behind the pair were two remarkable young prodigies. One was on the cusp of becoming a Heaven Immortal, while the other had already ascended to the First Grade of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It was clear that these two were the prized talents cultivated by the 18th branch of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

As for the silver-robed man leading the way, Peter Parker didn't need a second guess to recognize him as the hall master of the 18th branch of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

"Peter, are you alright?" inquired Liu Wucheng, eyeing Peter Parker with concern.    

Peter shook his head, grinning. "I appreciate your concern, Great Elder. I'm perfectly fine." With his formidable strength, a mere Third Grade Heavenly Immortal Golden Immortal was no match for him.    

"Silver Moon Immortal Venerable!" Black Yunxian's face tensed at the sight of the silver-robed man's unexpected arrival. "Yan Li merely wished to test his skills, recognizing the promise in his talent. For someone of your esteemed status as a Great Luo Immortal Reverent to attack a junior seems rather excessive, doesn't it?"    

Immortal Venerable Silvermoon responded with a cold snort. "Unsatisfied? Then step forward and challenge me yourself!"    

Black Yunxian's expression soured at the retort. Despite the 18th branch's low ranking within the Nameless Immortal Palace, Silver Moon Immortal Venerable was a figure of considerable repute. Known for his uncompromising nature and readiness to engage in life-or-death battles, he was not the strongest among the Great Luo Immortal Venerables, but few dared to cross him.    

"Silvermoon, with the grand assembly of the Nameless Immortal Palace imminent, I have no time for petty squabbles with you. We're leaving!" declared Heiyun Immortal Venerable. With that, she led Yan Li and the other Third Sub Palace geniuses into the heart of the Nameless Immortal City.    

Watching Black Cloud Immortal Venerable and her entourage depart, Silver Moon Immortal Venerable turned to Peter Parker with an amiable smile. "Ah, you must be the Peter Parker that Elder Wu Cheng speaks so highly of. He's long praised your unparalleled talent, and it seems you truly do justice to his words."    

Peter Parker responded with a humble smile, "Hall Master, you're too kind."    

"Haha... I suspect there are very few in the vast Northern Frost Immortal Domain who have attained the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal Realm at your age. Surely you can't deny your exceptional talent?" Silvermoon Immortal Venerable chuckled.    

With Peter Parker's assistance, the future was looking bright for the eighteenth palace's prestige within the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

"Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal!" Liu Wucheng couldn't hide his astonishment as he gazed at Peter Parker, his voice tinged with disbelief. "You've advanced to the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm?"    

He recalled that, at the Nameless Immortal Gathering a few months prior, Peter Parker's cultivation was at the pinnacle of the First Grade Heavenly Immortal realm. Yet, in such a short span of time, Peter had made the leap to the Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal realm. The speed of his progress was almost inconceivable.
