World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Peter Parker's gaze was fixed on the black ancient book, a flicker of intrigue passing across his face. Memories of Immortal Serene Jade's Heavenly Nether Combat Physique surfaced in his mind. Could this Nine Li Combat Physique be akin to that formidable technique?    

Immortal Secluded Jade's Heavenly Nether Combat Physique was undeniably powerful, perhaps even surpassing the Chaos Immortal Art. Such a technique naturally piqued Peter's interest.    

"Nine Li Combat Physique? To think that the legendary, unparalleled Immortal Art would be housed within the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!" he mused.    

As Peter was about to delve into the Nine Li Combat Physique, a cry of astonishment from Ice Dust Immortal Venerable reached his ears, causing him to start. He looked up at Bing Chen Immortal Venerable. "Senior, are you familiar with this Nine Li Combat Physique?"    

"The Nine Li Combat Physique is the renowned Immortal Art of the Purple Flame Heaven Domain's Immortal King, Nine Li Immortal King. It's well-known among those of any significance in the domain," Bing Chen explained.    

"It's quite unexpected that Jade Cloud Immortal Palace would possess such a revered Immortal Art," Bing Chen continued, eyeing the black ancient book with a hint of regret. "Alas, this Nine Li Combat Physique is incomplete. Jade Nether Immortal Venerable must have had considerable skill to derive the Heavenly Nether Battle Physique from this incomplete form."    

"An Immortal King's divine ability, the Nine Li War Body..." Peter murmured, his interest clearly piqued as he regarded the ancient tome.    

If the Heavenly Nether Combat Physique that Secluded Jade Immortal had developed was based on an incomplete version, then the true Nine Li Battle Physique must be even more formidable.    

The prospect of mastering the Nine Li Battle Physique and elevating his combat prowess excited Peter. As for the incomplete version, he was undeterred. With enough time and the aid of his system, he was confident he could perfect it and attain the complete Nine Li Combat Physique.    

"Senior Bing Chen, I plan to cultivate here for a while. Please feel free to do as you please."    

With that, Peter Parker made his way toward the repository of the Nine Li Combat Physique.    

Bing Chen watched him, a silent chuckle escaping as he shook his head. The Nine Li Combat Physique, a supreme Immortal Art crafted by the Nine Li Immortal King, was as formidable as it was challenging to master.    

Tales of the Nine Li Immortal King's numerous gifted disciples circulated widely, yet not one had managed to master the Nine Li Combat Physique, despite being direct inheritors of the king's legacy. It seemed an insurmountable task, even with the Immortal King's personal instruction.    

Peter Parker, with only an incomplete version of the Nine Li Combat Physique at his disposal, would likely find the full mastery of this art exceedingly difficult.    

Nevertheless, the allure of such a supreme Immortal Art is not easily dismissed. If Peter Parker was determined to grasp the intricacies of the Nine Li Combat Physique, Bing Chen would not stand in his way.    

Without another word, Bing Chen turned and exited the hall. The Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, a force from an ancient epoch, surely housed countless treasures. Bing Chen's next objective was to explore the palace's treasury in search of relics capable of restoring his immortal soul.    

Once alone, Peter Parker wasted no time. He established a defensive perimeter and summoned the Tower of Time, stepping into its second level. There, he devoted himself to the study of the Nine Li Combat Physique.    

The art proved to be as complex as rumored, even more so than his efforts with the Heavenly Emperor Seal. Despite revisiting the teachings a hundredfold through the system, it took him a full year within the Tower of Time to make any headway.    

However, a year within the Tower's second level equated to merely a few days in the outside world.    

Having finally grasped the Nine Li Combat Physique, Peter Parker chose not to emerge from his deep state of focus. Instead, he continued to refine his mastery of the art within the timeless confines of the Tower.    

While Peter Parker secluded himself to cultivate the Nine Li Combat Physique, Ling Xiyao was busy sending out a call to arms. She reached out through voice transmission to rally the hidden remnants of the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect to converge at Jade Dawn Immortal Mountain.    

A few days passed, and over a hundred members from the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect descended upon Jade Dawn Immortal Mountain. Under Ling Xiyao's guidance, they set to work clearing the debris of the once-glorious site, laying the groundwork to resurrect their sect on these hallowed grounds.    

Amidst the rubble of Jade Dawn Immortal Mountain, several disciples of the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect worked diligently, their conversations tinged with wonder and disbelief.    

"I never imagined we'd be able to openly walk the grounds of Jade Dawn Immortal Mountain just a few days ago," one disciple remarked, pausing to wipe the sweat from his brow.    

"Indeed," another agreed, leaning on his shovel. "To think the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect was nearly obliterated. And now, Senior Sister Ling tells us we're to rebuild right here on Green Dawn Immortal Mountain. It's nothing short of miraculous!"    

Their knowledge of the formidable Jade Cloud Immortal Palace weighed heavily on their minds. Even at the zenith of its power, the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect had been effortlessly crushed by their adversary. The thought of exacting revenge, let alone rebuilding, seemed like a distant fantasy. Yet, here they were, witnessing Ling Xiyao's impossible dream taking shape before their eyes. It felt surreal, like a dream from which they feared to awake.    

Amidst their hushed conversations, a thunderous "Boom!" erupted, jolting the disciples into stunned silence. They instinctively turned their gazes skyward, toward the source of the commotion above Green Cloud Immortal Mountain.    

There, within the grand hall of the Green Cloud Immortal Palace, a dark golden beam of light pierced the heavens, as majestic as a pillar destined to uphold the very sky. And within that resplendent glow, a colossal dark golden giant, thousands of feet tall, emerged, as if summoned by the light itself, ready to challenge the cosmos.    

The giant towered between heaven and earth, unleashing a roar that pierced the sky. The sound waves were so intense they seemed to solidify, transforming into a cataclysmic storm that raged outward.    

The sound reverberated across ten thousand miles, instilling an involuntary fear in every creature within its reach.    

"What in the world is that?"    

The disciples of the Heaven Breaking Immortal Sect went ashen-faced as they felt the overwhelming presence of the dark golden giant.    

Amidst their mounting terror, a figure burst forth into the heavens from the heart of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. It was none other than Immortal Venerable Bing Chen.    

A flicker of disbelief broke through his usually impassive gaze as he confronted the dark golden colossus dominating the landscape.    

"Kid, have you... have you actually mastered the Nine Li Combat Physique?"    

He was astounded that this young man had managed to perfect the Nine Li Combat Body in less than a month, especially given the incomplete nature of the technique.    

Unbelievable!    

Such a feat was beyond description, defying all conceivable limits.
