World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Peter Parker observed Zhuang Xuancang, who seemed as formidable as the God of Thunder hovering in the void, and couldn't help but knit his brows in concern.    

He had summoned a massive golden sword through the Fusion of Sword and Elephant technique, channeling all his might into the second tier of the Immortal Killing Sword Technique, yet he hadn't managed to inflict even the slightest wound on Zhuang Xuancang.    

Indeed, Zhuang Xuancang lived up to his reputation as a renowned practitioner from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect. His prowess in battle was likely unmatched, even among his peers at the intermediate level of the Sect.    

Peter took a slow, deep breath, steadying himself.    

Given Zhuang Xuancang's current state, even deploying the third tier of the Immortal Killing Sword Technique might not guarantee victory over him.    

It appeared that the only viable strategy left was to harness the power of the Immortal Monument.    

Peter's gaze sharpened, and with a swift gesture, the Immortal Monument materialized in his hand.    

"This old man isn't just powerful; his defenses are exceptionally strong too. I doubt you could defeat him with the Immortal Monument in its current usage."    

The voice emanating from the Immortal Monument resonated within Peter's mind, causing his frown to deepen.    

Zhuang Xuancang's might was truly beyond what he had anticipated.    

While Peter wasn't intimidated by Zhuang Xuancang, the prospect of vanquishing him was daunting.    

If he failed to eliminate this adversary today, his own identity would be at risk of exposure, potentially leading to dire consequences.    

"With the level of power you can wield right now, you can only manipulate a fraction of the Immortal Tablet's strength. Allow me to impart to you an Immortal Art that can command the Immortal Tablet."    

As the voice dissipated, Peter felt a mysterious knowledge seep into his consciousness.    

The Immortal Imprisoning Power!    

This was an Immortal Art designed specifically for mastering the Immortal Monument.    

Being a non-offensive Immortal Art, it wasn't capable of destroying Zhuang Xuancang.    

However...    

Empowered by the Immortal Tablet, the Immortal Imprisoning Power had the ability to ensnare individuals within the Immortal Tablet itself.    

If one could fully harness the Immortal Imprisoning Power of the Immortal Stele, it would be capable of effortlessly confining true Immortals.    

"With your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to gather much Immortal Imprisoning Power. However, it should be manageable to imprison a cultivator at the middle stage of the Mahayana Realm," the voice from the Immortal Stele advised once more.    

"Thank you, senior!" Peter Parker exclaimed, elated as he felt the Immortal Art take root in his mind.    

The Immortal Imprisoning Power!    

At that moment, the entity within the Immortal Monument had transferred the Immortal Art to him, offering him assistance just in the nick of time.    

Imprisoning Zhuang Xuancang in the immortal tablet would be far more advantageous than killing him. After all, if Zhuang Xuancang were to be killed, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would likely learn of his demise soon after and dispatch even more formidable experts to investigate.    

On the other hand, by imprisoning Zhuang Xuancang, they could not only gain some time but also shroud the Taiyi Immortal Sect in greater mystery.    

"Kid, if this is the best you can do, you might as well surrender now," Zhuang Xuancang taunted.    

As Peter Parker was assimilating the Immortal Art to command the Immortal Monument, Zhuang Xuancang showed no intention of delaying any further. The azure lightning around his colossal dharma idol surged, casting a brilliant glow across the sky. The devastating lightning bore down on Peter Parker once again.    

This time, the might of the World Destroying Lightning was more than twice as formidable as before. Any cultivator below the Mahayana Realm would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant. Even those at the initial stage of the Mahayana Realm might barely survive, though not without severe injuries!    

Peter Parker looked up at the fearsome lightning tearing through the void. He channeled the Green Emperor's Longevity Art to its fullest extent in a flash. The ruler's divine force surged wildly towards the immortal monument.    

His hands moved fluidly, forming a series of intricate hand seals with precision.    

In the next moment, the Immortal Monument before him soared into the sky, transforming into a Heaven Suppressing Divine Monument that commanded the heavens and earth within the void.    

"Imprisoning Immortal Force, condense!" Peter Parker brought his hands together, and the Heaven Suppressing Divine Monument above began to rotate.    

With each turn of the Heaven Suppressing Divine Monument, an invisible and enigmatic force burst forth, causing the cataclysmic lightning to decelerate to a tenth of its speed.    

Gradually, as the Heaven Suppressing Godly Tablet spun with increasing velocity, the apocalyptic lightning and the space around it appeared to be suspended in time, immobilized by an unseen power.    

Ultimately, the light from the Heaven Suppressing Godly Tablet blazed intensely, unleashing a fearsome suction force. Zhuang Xuancang felt his body spiral out of control, drawn inexorably toward the Heaven Suppressing Godly Tablet.    

"What... What kind of power is this?" Zhuang Xuancang, gripped by fear, frantically channeled all his magical energy in a desperate bid to resist.    

Yet, beneath this arcane force, even Zhuang Xuancang, who had attained the middle stage of the Mahayana Realm, felt a profound sense of helplessness.    

The Mahayana Dharma that had stood behind him crumbled, and his body was propelled unwillingly toward the God Suppressing Monument.    

"No..." Despair and terror etched Zhuang Xuancang's face.    

But as the word 'no' escaped his lips, he was entirely consumed by the Life and Death Subduing Heavenly God Stele.    

"Puchi!" As the Heaven Suppressing Monument devoured Zhuang Xuancang, Peter Parker's complexion turned deathly pale, and he involuntarily coughed up blood.    

The Heaven Suppressing Divine Monument in the void lost its luster, shrinking into a three-foot stone monument that descended into Peter Parker's palm.    

"This Immortal Imprisoning Power is not to be wielded lightly," Peter Parker murmured, wiping the blood from his mouth, a wry smile in his heart. "That's why I haven't taught it to you. With your current power, managing to imprison an intermediate stage Great Vehicle like Zhuang Xuancang is already pushing your limits."    

"If you encounter a late-stage Great Vehicle practitioner, you'll want to confine them in the Immortal Monument."    

"Even if you're fortunate enough to succeed, the cost will likely be tenfold what you currently possess."    

The voice emanating from the immortal tablet was barely audible.    

Peter Parker shook his head. It appeared that this Immortal Imprisoning Power wasn't something he could wield easily with his present level of strength.    

However...    

Should he find himself without alternatives, this technique could serve as his ace in the hole.    

"We can't stay here for long. Let's leave this place for now."    

In his recent clash with Gu Xuancang, he had exhausted all his reserves. Ultimately, he had to resort to the Immortal Confining Power of the Immortal Stele to detain his foe within it.    

Given his weakened condition, facing off against a cultivator of the great ride state was out of the question.    

Should another cultivator of the Great Perfection Stage from the Great Unity Immortal Sect arrive, the fallout would be catastrophic.    

Peter Parker steadied the tumultuous Qi within him, then in a flash, his form transformed into a streak of light that vanished into the distant horizon.
