Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 434 - 420 Hunting

Unless one saw with their own eyes and experienced it personally, no one would believe that a Shattered Void with only a hundred years of ascension possessed the strength to suppress a top-tier Shattered Void.

Just as even though many folk videos had been circulated, no one would believe in the existence of the supernatural in this world.

It goes against common sense.

Compared to concepts instilled by others, people tended to believe what they wished to believe.

The Guiye Demon Lord was the perfect example of this.

Of course, with the precedent of the Eight Desolates and Hei Tian Demon Lords, this Demon Lord still sought support from the Sky Prison and Assassin Demon Lords, with whom he had good relations, at the first opportunity.

However, among the two Demon Lords, the Sky Prison was somewhat better off, being the closer one.

It would evidently take the Assassin Demon Lord some time to arrive.

Therefore, when Alkaid crossed the borders of the Guiye Demon Lord's territory, he was met by the two fully-prepared Demon Lords.

"Alkaid, you really have some nerve! Do you truly think you are invincible under the heavens just because you've ascended to Shattered Void?"

Above a range of mountains in the void, Guiye and Sky Prison Demon Lords blocked Alkaid's path.

"The two Great Demon Lords?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised, "Four Demon Lords have already perished one after the other, and yet, only two have come to stop me this time? I thought you would send three to four to assassinate me."

Guiye Demon Lord and Sky Prison Demon Lord exchanged glances.

Believing he had grasped something, Guiye Demon Lord was the first to speak, "Is this a diversion? Did you deliberately expose yourself to attract more Demon Lords to deal with you, thus securing an opportunity for the actions of your Heavenly Dao Sect? Seeing how confident your Heavenly Dao Sect seems... has Jing Hong True Monarch arrived?"

Alkaid heard this but chose not to explain.

With Chi Hun and Zhan Po Demon Lords dead, the Heavenly Dao Sect had also lost a Bu Zhou True Monarch. Although the Yin Moon Sect would be cautious, it wouldn't be to the point of deploying all forces.

But once he had slain the batch of Demon Lords before him, even the slowest wits in the Yin Moon Sect should realize his true power.

By then, if they holed up in the Sect and never emerged, it would be difficult for him to break through the Fifteenth Level Sect Protection Array of the Yin Moon Sect.

Even if he was a bit luckier and managed to slay one or two more before those Demon Lords took refuge in the Sect, he would end up with only three or four Demon Lords defeated.

This did not align with his original plan of gathering eight Demon Lords from the Yin Moon Sect.

"Well, I'll just have to make up the numbers from the Demon Race. As for the Yin Moon Sect... I'll kill as many as I can."

Alkaid thought to himself.

Right after that, he immediately brought out the Heaven-Sealing Stele and began to seal the space around him. Then, with a step into the void, he instantly appeared beside the Guiye Demon Lord.

Despite the Demon Lord being on full alert, he still failed to notice any anomaly.

It wasn't until Alkaid's Sword of the Void came slashing down that he sensed something amiss.

Facing the chilling sharpness of the Sword of the Void, this Demon Lord didn't dare block and instantaneously transformed into darkness.

"Hei Tian Demon Venerable pursued the Darkness Dao, to the extent that more than half of the Yin Moon Sect's Demon Lords cultivated this Dao... Does that Venerable not worry about future conflicts of Dao with the Sect's juniors? Or does he intend to eliminate any conflict of Dao by taking under his wing all Shattered Voids who cultivate the Darkness Dao?"

Alkaid's thoughts flickered in his mind.

Almost simultaneously, the glow of the True Spirit's Light illuminated his spiritual world.

Just as his Great Void Path had been restrained by the Great Dao of Truth before, the True Spirit's Light, representing the Soul Dao, evidently also had a significant restraining effect on the Darkness Dao. Alkaid already had rich experience in dealing with Darkness Techniques using the True Spirit's Light.

Guided by the ever-shining True Spirit's Light, he instantly located the true body of the Guiye Demon Lord. With a twist of the Sword of the Void, augmented by the void-suppressing power emanating from the Heaven-Sealing Stele, this strike precisely split the Demon Lord's Demon Body in two.

"How did you lock onto me!?"

Guiye Demon Lord's mind was shaken as his halved Demon Body turned into Demonic Flames, attempting to re-conglomerate.

With practiced ease, Alkaid drove two streams of Great Annihilation Sword Qi with the Time Torrent, targeting the Demon Lord's attempting-to-reform Demon Body.

At the same time, the You Long Sword once again released a Sword of the Void, striking head-on at the Sky Prison Demon Lord who sensed something was wrong and wanted to provide aid.

Wherever the Sword of the Void passed, Divine Demons yield.

Under the amplification of the projection of the Great Void Path brought forth by the Limitless Sword, a Superior Dao Artifact, no Dao Technique could rival the edge of this sword unless it was an equally attack-focused Lifebound Daoist Art.

The Sky Prison Demon Lord consecutively used two Dao Techniques in an attempt to dissolve the sharpness of the Sword of the Void. Still, the unrestrained Sword of the Void directly crushed both Techniques, forcing the Demon Lord to rely on a Superior Dao Artifact similar to the Two Realms Ruler to exit this void and thereby evade this slashing strike.

But by doing this, he naturally couldn't make it in time to aid the Guiye Demon Lord.

In the end, he helplessly watched the Guiye Demon Lord's attempting-to-congeal Demon Body hit by the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, with a third of the Heavenly Demon Origin destroyed on the spot by the destructive power contained within the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

"Not bad."

Alkaid glanced at the Sky Prison Demon Lord.

If Guiye Demon Lord was on the same level as Chi Yun, Gu Li, and Jing Yuntian, then the strength of this Sky Prison Demon Lord…

Was approaching that of Zhen Xuanyuan.

His combat power should be around 90 million.

At that moment, Alkaid flicked his fingers, directing the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele primarily to suppress the body of the Sky Prison Demon Lord.

Simultaneously, the Time Torrent surged as the You Long Sword once again carried a Sword of the Void slashing towards that Demon Lord.

Meanwhile, he himself continued to hammer down the two streams of Great Annihilation Sword Qi on the Demonic Flames formed by the Guiye Demon Lord, not giving him a chance to re-form his Demon Body.

During this process, all sorts of information about the structure and transformations of the Gui Ye Demon Lord's demon body, as well as how to inflict maximum damage, flowed through his mind.

It was as if...

he had not killed just one or two beings similar to the Gui Ye Demon Lord, who cultivated the Darkness Dao, but dozens, hundreds, even thousands of them.

"It's the Dao Fruit talent bestowed when 'Demon Hunter' ascended to the fifteenth level—hunting instinct."

Alkaid quickly realized something.

After slaying the Chi Hun Demon Lord and refining the Zhan Po Demon Lord, he had added all the experience gained from 'Demon Hunter' to this branch, growing it to the fifteenth level.

The fifteenth level 'Demon Hunter' branch did not bring him any growth in strength, and hunting instinct did not directly enhance his various stats, but this Dao Fruit-granted "combat talent" made it much more intuitive for him to contend with these demons and alien races.

Like now, even with only two strands of Great Annihilation Sword Qi, he was still able to precisely control the Gui Ye Demon Lord, keeping his demon body from condensing and relegating him to a state where he could only passively take hits.

Similarly, with just the Sword of the Void and the support of the Heaven-Sealing Stele, he could keep the Sky Prison Demon Lord from even approaching his vicinity, let alone reach out to help the Gui Ye Demon Lord.

Before long, most of the Gui Ye Demon Lord's Heavenly Demon Origin had been damaged.

Sensing the right moment, Alkaid's Cave Heaven swept up, directly capturing the Demon Lord within and suppressing him solely with the power of the Cave Heaven.

In the distance, the Sky Prison Demon Lord's pupils shrunk when he saw this scene.

In fact, at the beginning of their clash, he had realized that Alkaid's strength was not exaggerated.

Not in the slightest.

He certainly had the strength to take on both Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, defeating them.

What's more.

When facing Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, he probably held back, otherwise, it would have been impossible for these two to escape with their lives under his hands.

Alkaid's combat power...

Definitely rivaled those undefeated Shattered Void beings on the candidate list for Dao Lord!

Therefore, when he saw how swiftly Gui Ye Demon Lord had been suppressed by Alkaid, he lost all courage to continue the fight, retreating explosively. At the same time, he conjured a warship-like Flying Boat, directly traversing the Void and escaping the battlefield.

As he fled desperately, he took out a Jade Talisman to call for help, "The information was wrong! Alkaid is exceedingly powerful, nearly on par with Jing Hong True Monarch! Gui Ye has been suppressed, all fellow Daoists please come quickly to our aid!"

"Buzz buzz!"

Not a moment after his message was sent, he saw Alkaid's figure flicker, appearing tens of thousands of miles behind him in the Void.

The speed of pursuit made the Sky Prison Demon Lord's face drastically change, pushing the Flying Boat's speed to the maximum as it shimmered and crossed over a million miles.

However, the long distance of over a million miles that he covered in one breath did not give him any respite.

Almost in an instant, he felt Alkaid's figure appear less than a hundred thousand miles away, and by the time he registered Alkaid's presence, he was only tens of thousands of miles away.

By the time he hurried to activate the warship to continue traversing, Alkaid's figure had already appeared in front of his warship.

"Void Blink!"

Despair surfaced in the eyes of the Sky Prison Demon Lord.

Void Blink was not the focus!

The key was, this Void Blink that belonged to Alkaid could flicker tens of thousands of miles not only in a single use but also multiple times in one breath.

Despite his Dao Artifact Flying Boat's capacity for a million-mile traverse at a time, it was due to the Dao Artifact's high power.

But such an artifact required some time to wait before each traverse.

This was fine for regular travel, but of no flexibility when it came to life and death battles.

Compared to Alkaid's Void Blink, it was worlds apart.

Unable to fight back, dodge, hide, or escape!

How could one not despair?

"Let's see how many of my strikes you can withstand,"

said Alkaid calmly.

With Gui Ye Demon Lord out of the way, he channeled all the power of the Time Torrent into the Sword of the Void.

Two strands of the Sword of the Void almost back-to-back, in the same moment, slashed towards the Sky Prison Demon Lord's demon body.

At the same time, the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele was fully activated, and visible ripples spilled out from the Superior Dao Artifact, the space around the Sky Prison Demon Lord solidified like copper walls and iron barriers, no longer susceptible to being shaken by the power of Void Shuttle.

The Sky Prison Demon Lord barely sustained himself against the first Sword of the Void.

But when facing the second Sword of the Void, even after conjuring an item meant to take his place in death, he was still overwhelmingly breached by the Sword of the Void's edge, which continued unimpeded to slash through his True Demon Body.

With his demon body shattered, what followed was a simple battle.

Annihilation Sword Qi weakened.

When he was sufficiently weakened, the power of the Cave Heaven rolled up, and the Demon Lord was suppressed once more.

The entire process was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, filled with a sense of fluency that was complete in one go.
