World's Strongest Martial Warrior

"Peter Parker, why is it you?" Immortal Venerable Silvermoon couldn't conceal her shock as she gazed at Peter Parker stepping out from the nothingness. She had not anticipated that the enigmatic figure who had just thwarted Demon Venerable Blackflame's assault would be Peter Parker.    

It was common knowledge that Demon Venerable Black Flame's power had soared to the brink of Primordial Immortal Venerable status. Yet, Peter Parker had just nullified Demon Venerable Black Flame's offensive with a single slash of his sword!    

Silvermoon Immortal Venerable vividly recalled that at the conclusion of the nameless immortal gathering, when Peter Parker departed for the Northern Chill Immortal Palace, he was merely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. She could hardly fathom that in mere decades, Peter Parker had acquired the might to contend with a half-step Great Luo Immortal Venerable. The thought was astounding.    

With a smile, Peter Parker addressed her, "Palace Master Silvermoon, I heard you were facing difficulties, so I decided to check in. Hope I'm not too late?"    

"I never imagined you'd have advanced so much since we last met," Silvermoon Immortal Venerable said, her voice filled with wonder. "Be cautious. That adversary is formidable. I suspect he's not far off from a Primordial Immortal in strength."    

"At his zenith, this adversary did indeed wield the power of a Primordial Immortal. Regrettably, he's yet to regain his full strength. At best, he's a mere half-step Primordial Immortal. Merely an insect. Just watch as I dispatch him," Peter Parker replied with a faint smile, confidently stepping forward to confront Demon Venerable Black Flame.    

Demon Venerable Black Flame sneered menacingly at Peter Parker. "Young man, your talent and power are commendable. Should I consume you, my strength is certain to be restored to its pinnacle."    

Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Peter Parker regarded Demon Venerable Black Flame with contempt. "Really? Well, if you aim to devour me, you'll need to prove you're capable first."    

Demon Venerable Black Flame's prowess was arguably comparable to that of Cloud Sky Sect's Immortal Venerable Yun Gan, who had yet to ascend to the Taiyi Realm. In fact, he might have even been slightly superior.    

Previously, if Peter Parker had been at the early stages of the Zenith Heaven Realm prior to acquiring the Heavenly Emperor's Origin, he might have struggled against a being like Demon Venerable Black Flame.    

However, with the Heavenly Emperor's origin now in his possession, Peter Parker had triumphantly advanced into the Great Unity Realm. The notion of considering Demon Venerable Black Flame a threat was inconceivable.    

"Kid, don't get cocky with me. Watch as I consume you whole!" Demon Venerable Black Flame couldn't help but bellow in rage upon realizing Peter Parker was looking down on him.    

"Heaven Devouring Divine Flame, engulf everything!" he roared.    

With a thunderous boom, the monstrous black flames enveloping Demon Lord Black Flame morphed into a colossal black beast, its flames ravenously consuming all in its path.    

This titanic creature loomed in the void, thousands of miles distant. Its gaping maw, akin to a black hole, seemed poised to swallow Peter Parker and the unnamed Immortal Palace whole.    

"Nine Li Combat Body, form!" Peter Parker commanded, his expression stoic. A dark golden radiance erupted from him, coalescing into the formidable Nine Li Combat Body.    

Then, with a swift motion, he thrust his fist forward. The sheer force of his punch, capable of rending the void, slammed into the black flaming beast.    

The creature howled in agony, a sound that reverberated through the heavens. Peter Parker's strike sent it reeling, carving out a vast black hole three hundred meters across.    

Like an unstoppable deity of war, Peter Parker unleashed a flurry of punches.    

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Each impact echoed through the void.    

In mere moments, the body of the gargantuan black flame beast, once thousands of miles in size, was riddled with holes, resembling a sieve.    

Ultimately, the beast could withstand no more and burst apart in the void.    

"Puchi!" At the moment of the explosion, Demon Lord Black Flame's body shuddered violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of dark red demonic blood.    

"How... How can this be?" Demon Venerable Black Flame raised his head, his gaze fixed on the triumphant Peter Parker. His eyes were filled with utter disbelief.    

Originally, he was but a wisp of demonic flame from an ancient era, fortunate enough to develop a demonic consciousness. His cultivation had soared to the pinnacle of the Tai Yi Realm, leaving him just shy of ascending to the Mixed Yuan Realm.    

Despite a grave injury sustained during the last Great Immortal and Devil War, which significantly weakened him, he had managed to regain strength, reaching the cusp of the Tai-Yi Realm once more. He felt confident enough to challenge even the Primordial Immortal Venerables of the Immortal World.    

His innate ability, the Heaven Devouring Devil Flame, was particularly formidable. Yet, he could never have fathomed that the young man in the black robe would extinguish his Heaven Devouring Devil Flame with such ease!    

From what he understood, the Immortal Dao in the Immortal World was in decline, and beings like Primordial Immortal Venerables were exceedingly rare, especially in lesser domains such as the Northern Chill Immortal Domain. Young prodigies who could attain the Great Luo Immortal Venerable level were even scarcer.    

So where had this black-clad youth, whose power rivaled that of a Primordial Immortal Venerable, emerged from?    

"This so-called Heaven Devouring Devil Flame of yours is utterly inadequate to consume me," Peter Parker declared, looking down at Demon Venerable Black Flame with a sneer of contempt.    

"Flee!" Without another glance at Peter Parker or the followers from the Ancient Devil Palace, Demon Venerable Black Flame transformed into a black devil flame and fled in a state of panic.    

The young man's strength was beyond comprehension. At his prime, Demon Venerable Black Flame might have stood a chance in combat. But in his current weakened state, persisting in battle would only lead to his demise.    

"You wish to leave? Since you've come, you shall remain here eternally," Peter Parker stated coldly. With a casual gesture, he clenched his fist in the air, halting Demon Venerable Black Flame's escape mid-flight.    

In the next instant, Peter Parker's Nine Li Combat Body traversed the space, materializing above Demon Lord Black Flame. He stepped forward.    

Boom!    

An earth-shattering force obliterated the void, reducing Demon Venerable Black Flame and the surrounding ten thousand feet of space to nothingness in a mere moment.    

Peter Parker's current level of strength made him a match for only a select few Primordial Immortal Venerables.    

Though Demon Venerable Black Flame was formidable, he stood no chance against Peter Parker, who wielded the Nine Li Combat Physique.    

However...    

Just when Peter Parker believed he had vanquished Demon Venerable Black Flame and deactivated the Nine Li Combat Physique, a black flame the size of a palm burst forth from the void.    

In an instant,    

the black flame vanished from Peter Parker's view, leaving behind only a chilling voice echoing throughout the world.    

"Kid, I will not forget the disgrace of this day. Mark my words. I will repay this debt tenfold in time!"
