Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 387 - 373 Dead End
Mysterious State border.
As Chi Sha True Monarch was flying, he transmitted information to the Eight Desolations Demon Lord who was following behind him.
His true body was an essence-shrouded shadow fiend that fed on malevolent qi.
And no malevolent qi could compare to the sinister energy accumulated from tens of thousands of cultivators buried together in the Land of Yin Fiend.
Therefore, his favorite activity was to slaughter cities and destroy nations, creating pits for a hundred thousand or even a million people, and then reside within them, cultivating for dozens of years, even hundreds of years.
Because of his unique lifebound Daoist art, regular cultivators found it difficult to lock onto his form and kill him, which was why the Eight Desolations Demon Lord let him infiltrate the Southern Region and collaborate with Jing Zhengyang.
But now his mission was complete, and…
the return was imminent.
There was only an hour or two’s journey left before he would leave the Southern Region, and this Refining Void Demon Cultivator couldn’t help but feel a bit restless.
The Hollow Void, the Refining Void, and the Shattered Void theoretically belong to the same realm.
Being in the Shattered Void granted a higher status than the Refining Void, but without an insurmountable gap between them, a Refining Void was not necessarily required to bow and scrape before a Shattered Void.
Just as one in the Hollow Void would show respect to those in the Refining Void, they would not prostrate themselves at every turn.
In such circumstances, although the Eight Desolations Demon Lord had ordered Chi Sha True Monarch not to stir up trouble, he didn’t necessarily take it as gospel.
Moreover, isn’t the reason for walking the Demonic Path to act willfully?
"A small city with merely thirty thousand cultivators, what experts could it possibly have? I’ll just go over, take a small bite, and sweep away half the people as nourishment for cultivating malevolence…"
With this thought, the Refining Void Demon Cultivator turned and plunged straight toward the small city he had targeted.
The moment he arrived at the city, he directly manifested his Demonic Cultivator’s true body, unfolding a colossal black curtain that stretched over ten thousand meters and was still rapidly spreading, heading toward thirty thousand meters, fifty thousand meters, a hundred thousand meters, seemingly about to engulf the entire city.
After all…
since he had come all this way.
Taking a small bite and sweeping away half the people wasn’t really any different from completely sweeping away everyone in the city.
So why not indulge to his heart’s content?
As soon as this demon cultivator appeared, all the people in the city were plunged into terror.
But before he could completely envelop the city, a sharp Sword Qi burst forth from within, filled with killing intent and sharpness, which tore the vast black curtain asunder in the sky.
"Hollow Void?"
Chi Sha True Monarch was a bit surprised.
A small city with only thirty thousand cultivators, at most it would have a Blazing White Golden Core cultivator in charge. Theoretically, there would only be Sunburst or even Crimson Red Golden Core cultivators present.
And yet…
suddenly a Hollow Void emerged!?
"Mo Ye?"
Chi Sha True Monarch identified the identity of this Hollow Void immediately.
Mysterious State Guardian.
However…
it didn’t seem to be any strong figure.
He would take some effort to kill him.

With his strength, the Southern Region Domain Master wouldn’t even have time to rescue Mo Ye.
Moreover, after causing a disturbance here, the master of the Southern Region might even think this was their Yin Moon Sect’s retaliation, and in turn, lower their guard.
With this thought, Chi Sha True Monarch’s cold divine sense filled the air, "Heavenly Dao Sect has killed one of our Refining Void Peak Masters. Naturally, there must be a price to pay! Today, I shall kill one Hollow Void, refine an entire city, and let you understand the consequences of opposing my Yin Moon Sect!"
Suddenly, the black curtain spreading across the entire city rapidly closed in, transforming into a black cage that directly imprisoned Mo Ye.
Feeling the imminent danger, Mo Ye kept unsheathing his sword, his Dao Technique of the Slaughter Dao giving rise to extremely skilled close combat and fighting techniques.
But the vast black curtain Chi Sha True Monarch had transformed into was simply a mass of highly corrosive black qi, dispersing here and gathering elsewhere immediately after being struck.
No matter how hard Mo Ye tried, the pure black qi forming the cage even seemed to shrink.
The malevolent qi within was continuously eroding Mo Ye’s body, solidifying his Cave Heaven and disturbing its operation. He could clearly feel that under the invasion of this malevolent qi, the activity of his Cave Heaven was growing slower and slower…
Just when he felt that he could only hold on for a few more minutes before facing the danger of perishing, the sky-wide black curtain enveloping and restraining his body was suddenly torn apart.
Like cloth smoothly cut by sharp scissors, it was instantly split in two.
"Sword of the Void!?"
Chi Sha True Monarch, who had completely trapped him, let out a somewhat panicked shout, as the malevolent qi hurriedly gathered to take shape into its true body, intent on escaping at the highest speed.
But before the qi could congregate, beams of Sword Qi imbued with the Great Path of Destruction, driven by the Void Force, thunderously streaked through.
The core area of the malevolent qi quickly dissipated into nothingness.
This was…
Great Annihilation Sword Qi!
"The master of the Southern Region!? No!"
Chi Sha True Monarch cried out in terror.
He immediately brought out his Dao Artifact, a black fabric that swept toward Alkaid to envelop it.
But before the cloth could envelop Alkaid’s body, the sword light from the You Long Sword containing the Sword of the Void had already shot onto this Dao Artifact.
With years of Alkaid’s nurturing, the You Long Sword, although not reaching the level of a Superior Dao Artifact, had already become exceptional among ordinary Dao Artifacts.
Add to this a strike mixed with the Sword of the Void at the Great Achievement Realm, and the two combined almost tore the cloth-like Dao Artifact at the moment of contact.
"My Hei Tian Cover!"
Chi Sha True Monarch screamed out.
But facing Alkaid, who possessed the battle achievements of refining and killing evil with his eyes, and was a powerful Refining Void cultivator, he couldn’t afford to grieve over a Dao Artifact.
Taking advantage of the Dao Artifact Hei Tian Cover delaying Alkaid, he transformed into a black mist and surged towards the border of Mysterious State at top speed, then...
He dove headfirst into the Heaven-Sealing Stele.
Alkaid, from a distance, summoned the Heaven-Sealing Stele and trapped the Refining Void cultivator inside.
Dao art specializes.
This Refining Void was clearly different than Evil Eye.
His Dao Technique was biased towards survival and sealing, and his Dao Artifacts were the same.
Nowhere near capable of breaking through the Heaven-Sealing Stele quickly with Thunder Halberd and Thunder Dao Art like Evil Eye did.
Despite the capabilities of a Refining Void, it would take over a dozen breaths to escape from the Heaven-Sealing Stele.
But a dozen breaths... Discover more content at novelbuddy
Were enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
Just like now.
With the artifact’s master sealed, the remaining Dao Artifact Hei Tian Cover could not withstand the strike of the Sword of the Void from the You Long Sword.
In less than a breath, the spiritual energy within the Dao Artifact was completely dispersed and shattered.
With a gesture of an empty hand, this somewhat damaged Dao Artifact already fell into his possession.
"The Sword of the Void... its offensive power is a bit too fierce,"
Alkaid looked at the Dao Artifact now his spoils of war...
Yet expressed pain for the several gaps torn open by the Sword of the Void.
This Dao Technique, unlike the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, could not annihilate swathes of life and matter directly, and struggled against beings that could divide and conquer or possessed many avatars; however, in direct combat, one strike and there was scarcely any Dao Technique, Dao Artifact, or being that could withstand it.
"With such severe damage, the price must be halved. Although it’s not difficult for me to repair it, in the time it takes to fix one Dao Artifact, I could have refined one or two new ones. It’s better to sell this at a low price,"
Alkaid stored away the Dao Artifact and then reached out to touch the still trembling Heaven-Sealing Stele.
With a single thought, the You Long Sword soared into the air, stirring up a vast amount of Void Force, compressing it layer by layer, and condensing an unparalleled sharpness.
Immediately afterwards, the Heaven-Sealing Stele opened, and Chi Sha True Monarch rushed out rapidly.
"Alkaid, my master is none other than…"
This Shattered Void Demon Cultivator opened his mouth, intending to declare his background, but the You Long Sword, poised for action, carried the sharpness that could cut through space, and instantly tore apart his body.
Following this, the mighty Annihilation Sword Qi, even more effective against demon cultivators, arrived.
Hit after hit left the Demon Cultivator dazed.
Especially after one strike, before the Heavenly Demon Origin of this Demon Cultivator could gather, the second wave of attacks swiftly followed.
A great amount of Heavenly Demon Origin was torn and scattered, then refined by the Cave Heaven manifested by Alkaid.
"Alkaid, I am the direct disciple of the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, also a high-ranking member of the Yin Moon Sect who has achieved the Refining Void, if you dare to kill me, the Yin Moon Sect will not let this go for the sake of our Sect’s reputation, and when we invade in full force…"
Chi Sha True Monarch, suppressed by the Heaven-Sealing Stele and unable to extricate himself, continued to issue verbal threats.
But before he could finish, Alkaid interrupted him, "Then let’s simply go to war."
He stated directly, "The Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void Elders of the Yin Moon Sect may be numerous in strength, but demon cultivators always have their limitations. Perhaps a Hollow Void could fight a Heavenly Dao Sect Hollow Void to an even standstill, but by the Refining Void, they clearly begin to falter, and at the Shattered Void level, they are obviously inferior by a measure to the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Shattered Void. If it really comes to battle, let’s see whether it’s the demonic flames of the Yin Moon Sect or the celestial might of the Heavenly Dao Sect that prevails."
"There’s no need for this; no matter the specific outcome of this battle, the Southern Region will definitely be turned into desolate lands, and won’t you, the master of the Southern Region, be at a loss? As long as you are willing to spare me, I can plead with my master on your behalf. Henceforth, our Yin Moon Sect and the Southern Region will stay out of each other’s way…"
"Come on, Yin Moon Demon Cultivators, the more the merrier,"
Alkaid was unwavering.
With the help of the [Demon Hunter] branches, one Refining Void Demon Cultivator could grant him more than 10% progress in his cultivation realm. The more Yin Moon Sect demon cultivators that came, the better.
In fact...
Once his cultivation increased, even if the Yin Moon Sect demon cultivators did not come, he would have to circle the border of the Yin Moon Sect a few times.
...
In less than half an hour, Chi Sha True Monarch was severely injured and was left powerless to resist.
However, considering the Eight Desolations Demon Lord backing this Demon Cultivator, he decided against spending days at the border to completely refine this Refining Void Demon Cultivator and, using the suppressive force of the Heaven-Sealing Stele, took him directly to the Southern Capital.
Before leaving, Alkaid issued a mind thought with instructions, "Hurry and perfect your Surveillance Station system. If you need manpower or resources, you may draw from Li Hanqiu. Notify me immediately if any demon cultivator invades! If a Shattered Void Demon Cultivator enters, seek reinforcements from the Sect directly!"
"Yes!"
Mo Ye, who witnessed Alkaid refining a Refining Void Demon Cultivator, was full of excitement.
His entire clan had been harmed by the Yin Moon Demon Cultivators; as long as he could see the Yin Moon Demon Cultivators slain, he felt extremely satisfied.
Especially since he had contributed to the death of this particular Yin Moon Demon Cultivator, it was as if he had indirectly taken his revenge, doubling his satisfaction.
