World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Yuan Tianchi was seething with murderous intent.    

Without even drawing his sword, his lean frame radiated an intense sharpness, as if his very presence could slice through the fabric of the world.    

"I had assumed the Celestial Gate Conference would be a dull affair, but it seems I was wrong to overlook a prodigy like you."    

As Yuan Tianchi's words hung in the air, he drew the long sword from his back.    

In a flash...    

A golden sword beam, a thousand feet in length, burst forth from the blade.    

Yuan Tian Lake brandished the golden sword and aimed its tip at Peter Parker, declaring with pride, "Go on, attack. Show me the might of a genius from the Great Vehicle!"    

Peter Parker rose slowly from the Chaos Sword Pool, a sneer playing on his lips. "If you're so eager to witness my strength, I'm afraid you're not quite up to the task!"    

Yuan Tian Lake's expression darkened as two piercing beams of light shot from his eyes, tearing through the void and leaving behind two pitch-black fissures.    

"Humph, nothing but empty bravado!"    

With a cold snort, Yuan Tian Lake flicked his wrist, and the golden sword vibrated with an ear-piercing screech.    

Suddenly...    

A golden rift opened in the sky above Peter Parker, and a bolt of golden sword Qi hurtled toward him.    

This golden sword energy was so fearsome it seemed to pierce the soul.    

Even an average Mahayana Realm cultivator would be left gasping for air under such an onslaught from Yuan Tian Lake.    

"Break!"    

Peter Parker's expression remained stoic as he transformed his finger into a sword and pointed it at Yuan Tian Lake's blade.    

Puchi!    

His finger made contact with the golden sword Qi, instantly disintegrating it.    

Having effortlessly neutralized Yuan Tian Lake's attack with a mere flick of his finger, Peter Parker couldn't help but look on with disdain. "Yuan Tian Lake, is this truly the extent of your prowess, as a renowned celestial master of the Primordius Sword Sect?"    

"Interesting, I hadn't pegged you for a fellow sword cultivator!"    

Yuan Tian Lake's eyes narrowed, and he launched another attack, swinging his sword at Peter Parker.    

This time, the sword split into five separate strikes, converging on Peter Parker from different angles.    

Five distinct sword energies collided in a dazzling display, converging on Peter Parker with relentless force. The brilliant sword light painted the heavens and the earth in a tapestry of vibrant hues.    

Peter Parker remained as serene as a still pond, his composure unshaken by Yuan Tian Lake's formidable sword power.    

With a graceful gesture, the Human Emperor Sword materialized in his hand. With a mere flick of his wrist, he executed a seemingly effortless stroke.    

This stroke, though appearing tranquil and undisturbed, unleashed an invisible sword light that instantly consumed the quintet of sword energies from Yuan Tian Lake.    

Standing with dignified poise in the Chaos Yuan Sword Pool, Peter Parker's expression was the epitome of tranquility.    

Upon witnessing his strike, fueled by ninety percent of his strength, fail to even graze the young man clad in black, Yuan Tian Lake's face darkened with dismay.    

"Young man, you possess some real talent. It's no wonder you've had the audacity to trespass into the domain of my Chaos Sword Sect and cause such mayhem," he acknowledged.    

"In all these years, you're the first of our peers in the Immortal Breaking Universe whom I, Yuan Tian Lake, have deemed worthy of my attention. But that's as far as it goes!"    

As Yuan Tian Lake spoke with detached coolness, the air itself began to churn wildly, and a myriad of stars burst forth from the void.    

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that this starlight was, in fact, streams of spatial sword Qi, blanketing the void like an endless celestial canopy.    

The starlight shimmered, and the spatial sword Qi wove rapidly through the void, forming an impenetrable curtain that surged toward Peter Parker, leaving no avenue for escape.    

This assault seemed intent on obliterating Peter Parker, along with the very essence of life in the surrounding space.    

"Mortal Transformation Sword," Peter Parker intoned, his face devoid of emotion. He brandished the Human Emperor Sword, and once again, an invisible sword energy cleaved through the air.    

This strike bore a mysterious power that visibly diminished Yuan Tian Lake's cataclysmic attack until it vanished into thin air.    

Having neutralized Yuan Tian Lake's onslaught, the residual force of the invisible sword Qi now bore down on Yuan Tian Lake himself.    

Before Yuan Tian Lake could even react, he was struck by an invisible sword Qi.    

In that instant, he felt the power within him draining away at an alarming rate, sapped by the unseen force.    

Shocked to his core, Yuan Tian Lake frantically channeled all his True Yuan and supernatural energy to purge the invasive sword Qi from his system.    

"How can this guy's Sword Dao be so bizarre?" he wondered aloud.    

Looking up, Yuan Tian Lake's gaze fixed on Peter Parker, who stood with an air of confidence by the Mixed Yuan Sword Pool. A flicker of barely concealed terror crossed his eyes.    

Had it not been for his all-out attack earlier, which had depleted his opponent's mysterious sword Qi, a moment's inattention might have resulted in his cultivation being severely diminished by the stealthy sword Qi.    

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Yuan Tian Lake's eyes remained locked on Peter Parker. "There's no one like you in the Immortal Breaking Universe. Who... who are you, really?"    

Yuan Tianchi, revered as the premier sword prodigy of the Mixed Yuan Sword Sect, had always been supremely confident in his abilities.    

In the vast expanses of the Immortal Breaking Universe, few could match him.    

Though he had only recently advanced to the multiplication stage, his combat prowess was leagues beyond that of an average great ride cultivator.    

With his full power unleashed, Yuan Tianchi was certain he could topple even mid-stage Mahayana Realm cultivators with ease!    

Yet, the enigmatic youth clad in black had utterly dominated him.    

Yuan Tianchi couldn't shake the feeling that even if he deployed every forbidden technique and ace up his sleeve, he might still fall short against this formidable adversary.    

The black-clothed youth's combat strength was likely on par with a late-stage Mahayana Realm master.    

Yuan Tian Lake was convinced that not even the Limitless Immortal Sect or the Taiyi Immortal Sect, should they produce a Great Celestial talent, would possess such extraordinary might.    

Moreover...    

Neither the Infinity Immortal Sect nor the Taiyi Immortal Sect specialized in Sword Dao, so how could they possibly have nurtured such a prodigious talent in this field?    

Aside from the Infinity Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it seemed virtually impossible for any other power within the Immortal Shattering Universe to produce a genius of the Mahayana Realm of such unparalleled caliber.    

What's more...    

The Sword Dao wielded by the youth in the black robe appeared to be distinct from that of the sword cultivators native to the Immortal Shattering Universe. This unique approach to Sword Dao was precisely why Yuan Tian Lake suspected that the black-robed youth did not originate from the Immortal Breaking Universe.    

Yet, if this youth clad in black truly hailed from beyond the Immortal Breaking Universe, how had he managed to infiltrate it and take part in the Immortal Sect Conference?    

It's common knowledge that to be eligible for the Immortal Sect Conference of the Immortal Breaking Universe, one must belong to a premier faction boasting at least one cultivator at the quasi-Mahayana Realm level.
