World's Strongest Martial Warrior

With a swift and decisive strike, Peter Parker extended his hand, performing a grasping motion in the air. A black crystal, eerily reminiscent of an immortal crystal yet pulsating with monstrous devil Qi, was suddenly clutched in his grip.    

"Brat, go to hell!" A sinister face materialized on the surface of the black crystal, which began to throb with devil Qi and swell rapidly within Peter Parker's palm.    

"You think you can protect yourself? Not a chance," Peter Parker declared, his expression steely. With a gentle squeeze of his fist, he quelled the growth of the black crystal. Razor-sharp sword Qi pierced through it, obliterating the malevolent visage.    

Simultaneously, Peter Parker's immortal soul infiltrated the black crystal, retrieving fragments of memory from the shattered devil soul of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable.    

However, the individual's rank within the Devil Palace was low, limiting his knowledge of its origins. Nonetheless, Peter Parker gleaned some insights into the Desolate Devil Palace from the memories he accessed.    

True to the immortal tablet spirit's words, the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace had manifested twice in the Immortal World, only to be subdued on both occasions. The incarnation that arose in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain was a vestige left in the Immortal World after the second suppression of the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace. Its premature emergence was a direct consequence of its discovery.    

"Fortunately, it seems the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace has yet to make its true debut in the Immortal World," Peter Parker murmured to himself after assimilating the Great Luo Immortal Venerable's memories.    

The might of the Desolate Devil Palace was beyond comprehension, particularly during its initial appearance in the Immortal World. Even at the zenith of the Heavenly Emperor Palace's power, a steep price was paid to contend with it.    

Should the Desolate Devil Palace fully materialize, not a single Immortal Sovereign in the Immortal World would stand a chance against its overwhelming force.    

"Peter, I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't come back at just the right moment today, I fear the Heavenly Water Immortal City would have faced certain destruction."    

After witnessing Peter Parker effortlessly defeat the Great Luo Immortal Sovereign from the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace, it took Luo Qianqiu quite some time to recover from his astonishment. He felt compelled to express his deep gratitude to Peter Parker.    

Even now, Luo Qianqiu found it hard to believe that this young man, who had once ascended from the lower realms, had grown so powerful!    

His heart was filled with shock, but also with a sense of relief that he had managed to forge a strong bond with Peter Parker in the past.    

Otherwise...    

They all would have perished here today.    

Peter Parker responded with a smile, "I was once a member of the Luo Shui Merchant Union. Alliance Leader Luo, please, there's no need for formalities."    

Back when he first arrived in the Immortal World and joined the Luo Shui Merchant Union, they had offered him considerable assistance. Now that they were in a crisis, Peter Parker felt it was only right not to stand idly by.    

While Peter Parker and Luo Qianqiu were conversing, they scanned the expanse of the Sky Water Immortal City and their eyes settled on a familiar figure.    

In an instant, Peter Parker was standing before him, laughing as he greeted, "Brother Wu Xing, welcome to the Immortal World. It's been too long. How have you been?"    

"It has been a long time indeed."    

Wu Xing, looking up at Peter Parker, couldn't resist commending him, "You truly are the unmatched hero of my God Domain. It seems you've maintained your grace even here in the Immortal World."    

Peter Parker chuckled and replied, "Brother Wu Xing, you're too kind. I merely arrived in the Immortal World before you. Given your talent, I have no doubt that with time, you'll achieve greatness beyond measure."    

Wu Xing's ability to cultivate in a place as esteemed as the Divine Domain, nearly reaching the status of an Immortal, was a testament to his exceptional talent.    

Given enough time and resources, his growth was poised to rival that of the most prodigious talents within the Immortal Dimension.    

Wu Xing couldn't help but laugh ruefully, choosing not to linger on the matter at hand. He had seen with his own eyes how the man before him had climbed the ranks within the God Domain. Wu Xing had faith in his abilities, yet he humbly acknowledged that he was no match for Peter Parker. Catching up to Peter's rapid progress was clearly out of the question.    

Shaking his head, he turned to Peter and remarked, "Brother Jiang Chen, I'm not the only one who's ventured into the Immortal World."    

"Oh?" Peter's eyebrows rose in curiosity, his voice tinged with surprise. "Who else? Palace Master Mingyue?"    

Within the vast expanse of the God Domain, only a select few stood on the cusp of immortality like Wu Xing had at his zenith. Among them, perhaps only Ming Yuexin, the esteemed Palace Master of the Moon God Palace, could achieve such a feat in a relatively short span.    

"No," Wu Xing replied, shaking his head. "Since your departure, Catherine Waters and Gu Fenger have dedicated themselves to their training. Their power has surged dramatically, propelling them to the Dominator Realm. They joined me in the Immortal World over twenty years ago."    

Catherine Waters and Gu Fenger had actually ascended to the Immortal World?    

A flicker of astonishment crossed Peter's eyes as he processed Wu Xing's revelation. "Where are they now?"    

"They've made their way to the Northern Chill Immortal Palace," Wu Xing informed him.    

Just then, Luo Qianqiu approached, adding context for Peter. "Shortly after their arrival in the Immortal World, an elder from the Northern Chill Immortal Palace chanced upon them and took them under his wing for cultivation."    

"The Northern Chill Immortal Palace?" Peter repeated, nodding in understanding.    

The talents of Catherine Waters and Gu Fenger were indeed exceptional, even by the standards of the Immortal World. It made perfect sense that the Northern Chill Immortal Palace would seize the opportunity to nurture such rare gems.    

With the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace having recently ravaged the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, the Northern Chill Immortal Palace stood as a bastion of safety in the region. Knowing that Catherine and the others were sheltered within its walls brought a sense of relief to Peter.    

Once he had resolved the issues with the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace in Azure Cloud Prefecture, he resolved to pay a visit to the Northern Frost Immortal Palace.    

Peter Parker dismissed the thoughts swirling in his head and immediately looked up at Luo Qianqiu. "Alliance Master Luo, what's the current state of affairs in Cang Yun Province?"    

"The outlook is grim," Luo Qianqiu responded with a grave expression. "The intelligence I've gathered indicates that the Cangyun Immortal Manor, which governs Cangyun Prefecture, has been overrun by the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace. The remaining forces of the Cangyun Immortal Manor and those from across the Cangyun Continent have fallen back to the Nameless Immortal Palace. At this moment, they are collaborating with the Nameless Immortal Palace to mount a resistance against the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace."    

A sharp glint appeared in Peter Parker's eyes.    

In addition to the Cangyun Immortal Palace, there were two other significant powers in the Cangyun State. Coupled with the Nameless Immortal Palace branch, which was on par with the Great Luo, they formed an immensely formidable alliance.    

If such a coalition could be so readily vanquished by the Ancient Devil Palace, it was a clear indication of the latter's formidable strength in Cangyun Province. It was even possible that they had a Grand Unity Immortal Venerable among their ranks.
