"Attention, denizens of the palace," Peter Parker announced, his voice cutting through the silence with a chilling indifference. "Lu Qingli has fallen. Surrender now if you wish to spare your lives."
The inhabitants of the Evergreen Immortal Palace blanched at his proclamation. The Chang Qing Immortal Palace, nestled safely within the world crafted by the Chaos Origin Immortal Sovereign through the Chaos Origin Law, had never been a bastion of defense. With most of its experts currently besieging the Longevity Immortal Palace alongside the forces of the Past Life Immortal Palace, their defenses were even more depleted. Lu Qingli, the Great Elder at the zenith of the Taiyi realm, had been their strongest protector.
Now that even Lu Qingli had perished at the hands of these intruders, what hope did the palace have of mounting a resistance?
"Who are you to dare slay our Great Elder and sow chaos within our walls?" demanded a middle-aged man at the forefront, his voice laced with outrage. "Immortal Venerable Hunyuan will not let this affront go unpunished upon his return!"
A faint smile played on Peter Parker's lips. "Is that so? Well, even if they were inclined to forgive, I am not one to hold back."
His ties to the Longevity Immortal King were far from superficial. Lu Xiaoqing, the chosen heir of the Longevity Immortal King, had been selected by Peter himself, and he had come to view her as a younger sister. Given that the Chang Qing Immortal Palace had seceded from the Longevity Immortal Palace, it was fated to be his adversary.
Mercy was not a luxury Peter Parker afforded his enemies.
"Let's make this quick," he commanded. "Eliminate them and seize the palace."
Before the echo of his command faded, Peter Parker brandished his shattered sword, directing the Immortal King Corpse to launch an assault on the palace's defenders. In unison, Old Ancestor Qing Yun and Immortal Venerable Yun Qian sprang into action.
Two Primordial Immortal Venerables, along with Peter Parker and the Immortal King Corpse—two formidable beings whose combat strength rivaled that of the Taiyi realm—launched a simultaneous attack. The Great Luo Immortal Venerables of the Evergreen Immortal Palace stood no chance against them.
The quartet cut through the palace's disciples with ease, as if they were merely slicing through vegetables, and proceeded directly into the heart of the palace. Inside, countless disciples trembled in fear, overwhelmed by the terrifying might of Peter Parker and his companions.
Disregarding any disciple beneath the Great Luo Immortal Venerable rank, Peter Parker and his allies strutted through the palace, embarking on a thorough search. Shortly thereafter, they stumbled upon the Evergreen Immortal Palace's treasure vault.
The vault, protected by seals from the Immortal Reverent Hunyuan, proved no obstacle with Immortal Reverent Chasing Sun among them. Peter Parker, showing no interest in inspecting the contents, casually swept all the treasures into his possession with a mere wave of his hand.
Continuing their search both inside and outside the palace, they even claimed the Immemorial Immortal Spring, a treasured resource cultivated by the palace. Having completed their plunder, the group did not linger, swiftly departing from the realm and soaring away from the skies above Green Wood Immortal Mountain.
...
The Longevity Immortal Mountain, situated at the heart of the immortal domain, was renowned as the most illustrious of its kind. It was a place of pilgrimage for numerous powers, both great and small, within the domain. This was the location of the once-dominant Longevity Immortal Palace, the sole immortal king force in the Longevity Immortal Mountain.
At the pinnacle of the Longevity Immortal Palace stood a matchless immortal king master, the Longevity Immortal King, whose fame extended across the entire Purple Flame Horizon.
However, years ago, the Longevity Immortal Palace underwent a catastrophic event, leading to the complete disappearance of the Longevity Immortal King from the realm. In the wake of his absence, the palace's power waned significantly, ultimately fracturing into three formidable Chaos Origin Forces.
For many years, the three great primordial epoch forces had established a tripartite balance of power within the Longevity Immortal Domain. However, this equilibrium was shattered with the return of the Longevity Immortal King's descendant. The Evergreen Immortal Palace and the Past Life Immortal Palace, both offshoots of the original Longevity Immortal Palace, were not keen on witnessing the resurgence of the Longevity Immortal Palace's heir.
Consequently, these two formidable factions resolved to unite and launch an assault on the Longevity Immortal Palace. Yet, as the principal lineage, the Longevity Immortal Palace had always maintained its dominance and boasted a foundation that was more profound than both the Evergreen and Past Life Immortal Palaces.
The return of the Longevity Immortal King's heir only solidified this position, particularly with the reintroduction of the King's ancient techniques. Despite the alliance between the Evergreen and Past Life Immortal Palaces, toppling the Longevity Immortal Palace swiftly proved to be a daunting task.
This very impasse led to a prolonged deadlock, with the experts from the Evergreen and Past Life Immortal Palaces unable to gain the upper hand over the Longevity Immortal Palace. Hovering outside the Longevity Immortal Mountain, amidst the void, stood two figures exuding formidable presences.
One was a distinguished middle-aged man clad in a green robe, known as Lu Changqing, the revered Palace Lord of the Evergreen Immortal Palace, Immortal Reverent Hunyuan. Facing him was an elderly man draped in grey, his hair a mix of black and white, creating an oddly disconcerting aura. This man was the Palace Lord of the Past Life Immortal Palace, a cultivator who had attained the exalted Primordial Chaos Realm, known as the Black White Immortal Supremacy.
"Fellow Daoist Black White," Lu Changqing began, his tone even, "the Longevity Immortal Palace has withstood our siege for far too long. We cannot afford to remain at this impasse indefinitely. Do you have any strategies to break this deadlock?"
After a brief silence, the Black and White Immortal Venerable responded, "The arrow has already been notched; we must let it fly. We've reached a point of no return. Our only option is to muster our full strength and swiftly vanquish the Longevity Immortal Palace. There is simply no alternative."
The heir to the Longevity Immortal Palace possessed unparalleled talent and a frightening rate of growth. Having already taken action, their only option was to capitalize on his increased strength to eliminate him before he became an even greater threat. If they failed to act, both the Past Life Immortal Palace and the Evergreen Immortal Palace could face dire consequences.
Lu Changqing's brow creased with concern. The Longevity Immortal Palace was formidable; a full-scale assault would come at a steep cost, even if they emerged victorious—a scenario Lu Changqing and his allies were eager to avoid. Yet, with the situation escalating, they were left with no alternative but to commit fully to the confrontation. Allowing the Longevity Immortal Palace's heir to continue amassing power was not an option.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Lu Changqing was on the verge of issuing a command when he abruptly perceived an unexpected presence. His face registered alarm. Without hesitation, he addressed his counterpart, "Black and White, the Evergreen Immortal Palace must attend to urgent matters. Let us postpone our discussion regarding the assault on the Longevity Immortal Palace."
Without waiting for a response from the Black White Immortal Venerable, Lu Changqing vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
