World's Strongest Martial Warrior

But Lu Qingli was baffled. There had never been any ties between their Chang Qing Immortal Palace and the Nine Li Immortal King. What could possibly compel the Immortal King to send his descendant to confront the Evergreen Immortal Palace without any apparent reason?    

Peter Parker's face remained impassive as he activated the formidable Nine Li Combat Physique and launched himself at Lu Qingli without a moment's hesitation.    

Lu Qingli's expression shifted rapidly. He channeled his Tai Yi Immortal Force in a desperate bid to counter Peter Parker's punch, which seemed to carry the weight of the heavens and the earth. He was forced to retreat a full thousand meters.    

"Young master, wait..." Lu Qingli implored, eyeing Peter Parker who was gearing up for another assault. "The Chang Qing Immortal Palace has never had any past grievances with the Nine Li Immortal King. Could you please enlighten me as to why you're targeting my Chang Qing Immortal Palace?"    

The Nine Li Immortal King was a renowned figure among the Immortal Kings of the Purple Flame Horizon. Despite the Evergreen Immortal Palace being a powerhouse in the Immortal Domain, capable of reigning supreme over its vast expanses, it was, in essence, still a primordial entity.    

To offend the Nine Li Immortal King would be to invite effortless ruin upon the Evergreen Immortal Palace.    

"I don't need a reason to attack the Evergreen Immortal Palace," Peter Parker stated coldly. He resumed his offensive with a power that threatened to disrupt the very fabric of the cosmos.    

"Humph! Your talent may be unmatched, and your Nine Li Combat Physique is indeed a force to be reckoned with, but remember, you are still within the Great Luo Realm. Do not overstep your bounds!" Lu Qingli retorted, his face pale as he once again fended off Peter Parker's mighty attack.    

Despite the black-clothed youth's exceptional gifts and combat prowess, boasting the terrifying strength of a Great Luo expert capable of challenging a Taiyi master, Lu Qingli, who had attained the pinnacle of the Taiyi realm, was far from intimidated.    

He refrained from counterattacking out of fear of the Nine Li Immortal King backing Peter Parker.    

"This old man's power is truly formidable. I don't stand a chance against him with my current abilities," Peter Parker murmured to himself.    

His gaze shifted to the other two battlefields suspended in the void. It was clear that Old Ancestor Qing Yun and Immortal Venerable Yun Qian were being thoroughly overpowered by the two Taiyi Immortal Venerables from Chang Qing Immortal Palace.    

After all, Chang Qing Immortal Palace was a splinter of the mighty Primordial Chaos faction, the Longevity Immortal Palace. Its depth and strength were leagues beyond a secondary Primordial Immortal force like the Cloud Sky Sect.    

Despite having similar levels of cultivation, the two Primordial Immortal Venerables from Evergreen Immortal Palace outmatched their Cloud Sky Sect counterparts.    

Immortal Venerable Yun Qian, in particular, was at a disadvantage. Having recently ascended to the Primordial Immortal realm, his mastery of the Taiyi Realm's power paled in comparison to his adversary. Already pushed back by the Taiyi Immortal Venerable from Chang Qing Immortal Palace, it was evident that he was on the brink of defeat.    

"Listen, take your Cloud Sky Sect and leave Chang Qing Immortal Palace at once. From this moment forward, we will no longer meddle in your affairs. What do you say?" Lu Qingli proposed in a stern tone. "If you resist, I'm afraid you'll gain nothing today."    

"Immortal King Corpse, attack!"    

Peter Parker, his face devoid of emotion, called forth the Immortal King Corpse Puppet and plunged into the fray alongside the two Immortal Venerables.    

With the Immortal King Corpse's strength rivaling that of the Taiyi realm, Immortal Venerable Yun Qian quickly regained his footing. Bolstered by the Corpse's counteroffensive, he began to overpower the Taiyi Immortal Venerable from Chang Qing Immortal Palace.    

"Taiyi Puppet!"    

Lu Qingli's expression shifted at the sight.    

Indeed, the man before him was deserving of the legacy of the Nine Li Immortal King, possessing a puppet whose might was on par with that of a Grand Unity Stage puppet.    

"Since you're set on this course of action, don't hold it against me if I come across as rude!"    

Lu Qingli inhaled deeply, releasing the formidable presence of a peak Taiyi Immortal King without restraint.    

Initially taken aback by the identity of the black-robed youth, the heir to the Nine Li Immortal King, he hadn't given it much thought. However, with a clearer mind, Lu Qingli began to piece together some clues.    

Despite the young man's mastery of the Nine Li Combat Body and his close ties to the Nine Li Immortal King, his visit to the Chang Qing Immortal Palace might not have been at the behest of the Nine Li Immortal King himself.    

The Evergreen Immortal Palace had always steered clear of any conflict with the Nine Li Immortal King.    

It was unthinkable that the Nine Li Immortal King, a renowned expert within the Purple Flame Territory's Immortal King Realm, would target the Evergreen Immortal Palace without cause.    

Moreover...    

Should the Nine Li Immortal King truly wish to strike at the Evergreen Immortal Palace, he could effortlessly overpower it with merely a clone. There would be no need for his progeny to ally with the Cloud Sky Sect for such an assault.    

As long as the Nine Li Immortal King harbored no intentions of aggression towards the Evergreen Immortal Palace, there was little to fear.    

Capturing the young man without endangering his life would ensure that, even if the Nine Li Immortal King were to appear, he would not retaliate against the Evergreen Immortal Palace.    

Buzz, buzz...    

Lu Qingli's peak Tai Yi Realm aura surged forth mightily, and the Primordial Immortal Law Immortal Force Forbidden Heaven and Earth materialized in an instant.    

In that moment, the world around Peter Parker became ensnared by an unseen power. Even utilizing the Nine Li Combat Physique, Peter Parker found himself immobilized, unable to budge under the force's seal.    

"The disparity in strength is overwhelming. With my current capabilities, I'm clearly outmatched by someone at the peak of the Tai Yi Realm."    

Peter Parker couldn't help but ruefully shake his head.    

While he was capable of holding his own against a Tai-Yi Law deployed by an early-stage Tai Yi Realm practitioner, facing this peak-stage Tai Yi who wielded Immortal Force to bind the heavens and earth left him utterly defenseless.    

Without any further hesitation, Peter Parker reached out to the Sunchaser within the Immortal Monument.    

In a blink of an eye, the figure of Venerable Chasing Sun materialized before Peter Parker. He could feel the power and laws of the Immortal Force sealing off the heavens and the earth. With a mere flick of his finger, a flame erupted skyward, obliterating the energy that had sealed the heavens and the earth in a mere instant.    

Lu Qingli's eyes narrowed at the sight before him. His gaze was fixed on Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable, and a profound solemnity overtook his expression as he perceived the unfathomable aura emanating from her. The ease with which she had undone his Taiyi Law suggested that her strength was at least on par with his own, if not greater. It seemed entirely possible that she was a Primordial Chaos Immortal Venerable, with a cultivation base that had ascended to the Primordial Chaos Realm.    

The thought that Peter Parker had such a powerful ally at his disposal had never crossed Lu Qingli's mind. He inhaled deeply and respectfully bowed to Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable, "May I inquire about the identity of this esteemed senior?"    

"There's no need for you to know who I am. Since I have intervened, prepare to meet your end," she replied indifferently. As her voice trailed off, the very fabric of the void around them transformed, giving rise to a golden realm with the power to incinerate all in its path.
