World's Strongest Martial Warrior

1In Cangye City, within the esteemed Ye family's domain, a strategic gathering was unfolding. Ye Qingming had dispatched a signal, prompting various factions under the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's influence to mobilize their forces toward the city. Within mere days, over ten different groups had converged in Cangye City, including two half-step Golden Immortals, five Ninth Grade Golden Immortals, and a number of Golden Immortals.    

    

Tucked away in a secluded corner of the Ye estate, Peter Parker, the family patriarch, convened with Ye Qingming, Ling Xiyao, and Liu Manqing. Ye Qingming briefed Peter Parker on the assembling forces. Parker acknowledged the update with a subtle nod, remaining otherwise silent.    

    

"Young Master Peter Parker," Liu Manqing inquired, unable to contain her concern, "the experts from our Purple Void Immortal Palace are en route to the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. When do you intend to act?"    

    

Peter Parker replied calmly, "There's no rush. We'll wait."    

    

Liu Manqing pressed, her anxiety palpable, "But how long? If the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace succeeds in reviving their ancestor, it may be too late."    

    

Before Peter Parker could offer a response, the space near his visage shimmered. A figure wielding a black broadsword materialized seemingly from nowhere. It was none other than Bing Chen, the Immortal Venerable.    

    

Liu Manqing and Ling Xiyao could hardly conceal their astonishment at the sight of the Ice Dust Immortal Venerable. They had encountered numerous Great Luo Immortal Venerables from the Great Luo faction, including the formidable Bi Yao, the palace master of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Yet, the presence before them exuded an aura that was even more enigmatic than any Great Luo Immortal Venerable they had previously encountered.    

    

A Taiyi Immortal Venerable! The figure before them was likely a being of the Taiyi order, a tier above the Great Luo Immortal Venerables.    

    

Initially, Ling Xiyao and the others had surmised that a Primordial Immortal Venerable might be backing the Ye Family. However, witnessing Peter Parker's chilling efficiency in dispatching a Great Luo Immortal Venerable with such ease led them to abandon that theory.    

    

Now, it seemed that the Ye Family boasted not only a prodigious talent like Peter Parker, who had slain a Great Luo Immortal Venerable, but also a Primordial Immortal Venerable.    

    

Upon witnessing this, Peter Parker chuckled. "Senior, have you emerged from your seclusion?"    

    

Bing Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over Peter Parker with a mix of surprise and admiration. "Let's head to Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!"    

    

No wonder he had recently felt a surge in the puppet's power. Peter Parker had ascended to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm.    

    

Over the past three months, Peter Parker had not only recovered from the toll of his battle with Immortal Venerable Bi Mu, but he had also mastered the ancient and powerful Cloud Devouring Immortal Saber. With his newfound strength and the artifact in his possession, he was virtually invincible—unless Immortal Venerable Bi Yun's ancient ancestor was resurrected.    

    

"Alright," Peter Parker agreed without hesitation. He turned to Ye Qingming. "Gather everyone immediately. We're setting out to attack Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!"    

    

"I'll inform them at once," Ye Qingming replied, taking a deep breath before turning to carry out the order.    

    

Half a day later, Bing Chen and Peter Parker led hundreds of figures toward Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

    

Their movement caused quite a stir, attracting the attention of many onlookers.    

    

"Who are these people? What are they planning to do?" someone hissed.    

    

"I've heard that the Ye Family in Cangye City has allied with a mysterious force. Many powerful groups have been converging here to strike at Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Could it be that they're the ones making a move?"    

    

"I never imagined Jade Cloud Immortal Palace would face such a challenge. This is bound to be quite the spectacle."    

    

Under the gaze of countless astonished onlookers, Peter Parker and his cohort marched directly toward Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

    

Though the palace lay 100,000 miles from the Ye Family's base in Cangye City, for Peter Parker and his allies, the distance was trivial.    

    

In less than half a day, they arrived in the expanse just outside Jade Cloud Immortal Mountain.    

    

Simultaneously, dozens of figures clad in jade-green immortal armor burst forth from the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. A middle-aged man, on the cusp of reaching the Great Luo Realm, led the charge and demanded in a commanding tone, "Identify yourselves! What business do you have causing a commotion at my Jade Cloud Immortal Palace?"    

    

"The Jade Cloud Immortal Palace has been ruling with an iron fist, inciting the wrath of both mortals and deities. I am here today with the sole purpose of bringing it down," came the resolute reply.    

    

Peter Parker regarded the nearly Great Luo man with a cool detachment. "If you're not keen on joining the destruction of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, consider this your chance to surrender."    

    

The man's eyes narrowed, and he let out a derisive snort. "Empty bravado. You'll need to prove you have the strength to take down my Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!"    

    

The Ye Family from Cangye City had rallied a formidable, enigmatic ally, leading to the fall of several Great Luo Immortal Venerables within the city—a fact he was painfully aware of.    

    

Despite the significant setbacks, Jade Cloud Immortal Palace still stood on the robust foundations laid by the Primordius Sect. In the past, even the formidable Taiyi forces from the Purple Void Immortal Palace couldn't secure a victory against them.    

    

He had assumed that the forces backing the Ye Family wouldn't dare to directly confront Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. But now, their boldness had taken him by surprise.    

    

"Why waste words on them, Young Master Peter Parker? Let's just launch our assault on Jade Cloud Immortal Palace," urged a half-step Great Luo standing behind Peter, his voice thick with the intent to kill.    

    

Peter Parker remained silent, poised to command the attack, when suddenly the energy of three Great Luo Immortal Venerables surged skyward.    

    

In an instant, three figures descended before Peter Parker and his companions. They were the last standing Great Luo Immortal Venerables of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, led by none other than the palace master herself, Jade Demon Immortal Venerable.    

    

Jade Demon Immortal Venerable locked eyes with Peter Parker and Bing Chen, her gaze piercing. "Who are you, truly? We have no quarrel with you. Why do you insist on making an enemy of me?"    

    

Peter Parker spoke with a detached tone, "Jade Demon Immortal Venerable, does the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect ring any bells for you? I made a promise to someone from that very sect to aid her in exacting revenge on the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Consequently, your sect's downfall is inevitable."    

    

The Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect!    

    

At the mention of that name, the Jade Demon Immortal Venerable's face contorted with alarm.    

    

In the past, the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect had come into possession of an extraordinary and unparalleled immortal treasure. This acquisition had catapulted them to prominence in less than a millennium, elevating them to one of the elite half-step Great Luo forces under the dominion of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

    

Driven by a desire to claim this treasure, she had orchestrated the annihilation of the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect to eliminate any potential threat they might pose to the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

    

The Jade Demon Immortal Venerable had never regarded a half-step Great Luo entity with much concern, even if there were survivors.    

    

However...    

    

Little did she anticipate that the current peril looming over the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace would stem from the very Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect she had decimated all those years ago!
