World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Mo Hu, snapping out of his reverie, inquired with a grave tone.    

Hei Nan replied icily, "We had our own informant within the Green Essence Commerce, and I witnessed it with my own eyes. How could I be mistaken?"    

"Tsk tsk... it's a small world for enemies."    

Mo Hu's gaze sharpened. "That youngster managed to level Ten Thousand Snake Ridge, a place even Tribulation Transcender cultivators hesitate to tread. He's clearly no ordinary individual."    

"President, don't fret. Even if the boy has some tricks up his sleeve, he's no match for the Black River Young Master."    

The remark drew chuckles from one of the cultivators.    

Black Tiger cast a sidelong glance at the quiet youth meditating behind him, his lips curling into a smirk.    

The Black Cloud Alliance had always maintained a low profile, shrouding its true capabilities from the world, especially those of cultivators at or beyond the Mahayana Realm.    

This was precisely why.    

To most, the Black Cloud Alliance, lacking a Mahayana Realm cultivator, seemed like just another competent faction, nowhere near the level of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.    

But little did they know...    

The Black Cloud Alliance's power had already eclipsed that of many factions within the Ten Great Immortal Sects. They had even cultivated a peerless genius at the Quasi-Great Celestial Realm!    

Although the Azure Essence Chamber of Commerce's newfound ally possessed remarkable strength, rivaling top-tier Tribulation Transcender prodigies like Li Xiao from the Li Immortal Sect, he would pale in comparison to a Quasi-Mahayana Realm prodigy.    

Thus...    

The Immortal Destiny tied to the remains of Sky Feather Daoist was destined to fall into the hands of the Black Cloud Alliance!    

...    

The Taiyi Heaven Territory lay to the north of the Qing Yuan Heaven Territory, separated by several vast domains—a considerable distance indeed.    

Despite Peter Parker and his companions traveling at breakneck speeds, it took them a full three months to arrive at the Taiyi Heavenly Domain.    

Upon entering the Tai Yi Heavenly Domain, Peter Parker and his companions journeyed for several days until they reached an ancient mountain range shrouded in a chilling aura. After half a day's trek through the mountains, they finally made their way to the heart of the range and paused at the edge of a vast valley.    

As they halted, the massive black hawk belonging to the Black Cloud Merchant Guild alighted beside them.    

"Is this where Daoist Tian Yu's remains are?" Mo Hu inquired, gazing intently at the valley before them. He promptly addressed Liu Qingyi, "Liu Qingyi, there's no time to lose. Produce the key and unlock Daoist Tian Yu's legacy."    

Liu Qingyi paid no heed to Hei Hu. With a flick of her wrist, an archaic Omega-level key materialized in her hand.    

At Liu Qingyi's command, the key quivered and then burst into a beam of green light, rocketing towards the valley ahead.    

"Boom!"    

A thunderous noise erupted, followed by intense spatial ripples cascading from the sky above the valley.    

Instantly, a Heaven Gate towering a thousand feet emerged before Peter Parker and his group. The ancient and stately Divine Gate floated aloft, its surface pulsating with potent spatial waves.    

Peering through the Divine Gate, they could just make out a frosty, white expanse, a world blanketed in ice and snow. A profound sense of antiquity seeped from the realm beyond the gate.    

"Could this be the legacy Daoist Tian Yu left behind?" The cultivators present couldn't conceal the fervent glint in their eyes.    

Daoist Tian Yu was renowned as the last immortal before the Immortal Path in the Immortal Universe was cut off. The secrets of Dao Seeking and Immortal Ascension likely lay within his ruins. The mere thought of such a destiny could send the entire Immortal Breaking Universe into a frenzy.    

"Haha... Liu Qingyi, once Daoist Tian Yu's ruins are open, we'll take the lead," Mo Hu declared with a boisterous laugh. He promptly guided the five individuals with him and dashed towards the Heaven Gate soaring in the sky.    

A cold gleam sparked in Qing Li's eyes. "We must enter as well. We cannot allow the Black Cloud Alliance to gain the upper hand and secure the Immortal Destiny before us!"    

"Wait..."    

In that instant, Liu Qingyi halted Qing Li in her tracks.    

With a gesture, she revealed five stones in her palm, each radiating an enigmatic glow.    

"The point of entry through this kind of spatial gate varies for each person. Once inside, it's highly probable that we'll be scattered randomly. These five stones have the ability to sense each other within a certain distance, which will help us regroup more easily."    

Liu Qingyi distributed the stones to Peter Parker and the rest of the group as she explained.    

"Let's move out. Be vigilant, everyone. Upon entering the ruins, make it a priority to reconvene as quickly as possible to avoid any mishaps."    

With her final words, they each charged toward the Divine Gate soaring above them and vanished into its depths.    

...    

The instant Peter Parker crossed the threshold of the Divine Gate, he was swept by a sensation of time and space contorting, the world around him transforming.    

In the blink of an eye...    

Peter Parker was standing amidst a frozen landscape. A vast, white expanse stretched out around him, and a fierce, icy energy bore down upon him.    

Any cultivator not yet past the Tribulation Passing stage would be petrified into an ice sculpture upon entering this realm, unable to withstand the formidable chill.    

"This cold is intense. It's clear that Daoist Tian Yu has harnessed the power of ice," Peter Parker observed, unfazed as he stood against the biting wind, his black attire billowing around him.    

He extended his divine sense outward, sweeping across ten thousand miles in an instant.    

The icy domain was immense, rivaling the size of a region within the Immortal Breaking Universe.    

Daoist Tian Yu had truly earned his reputation as the last Immortal in the Immortal Breaking Universe to ascend through Dao Seeking, capable of crafting such an expansive icy world.    

"The spatial gate's teleportation is as unpredictable as Liu Qingyi anticipated," Peter Parker mused quietly, noting the absence of Liu Qingyi and the others within the ten-thousand-mile radius.    

He examined the stone Liu Qingyi had given him, finding it unresponsive. It was clear that Liu Qingyi and the other three were far beyond the stone's sensory range.    

Peter Parker didn't dwell on it much. He much preferred to explore the ruins on his own rather than with Liu Qingyi and the others. Without their presence, he was free to move as he pleased and fully utilize his abilities within the ruins.    

"Let's check out the surroundings first," Peter mused, selecting a direction to begin his investigation of the ruins.    

The Tian Yu ruins stretched endlessly before him. After an hour of exploration, Peter had encountered nothing but a vast expanse of icy terrain. Then, on the horizon, a mountain range cloaked in ice and snow emerged. From it, he could discern the faint yet growing sounds of powerful energy pulsations and the roars of creatures echoing from within.
