Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 478 - 464: Confrontation
The Unforbidden Dao Lord's intervention was unprecedentedly decisive.
From the moment of his appearance, he used the Sky Banishing Tower to seal off the space where Alkaid was located and merged all of them into a world like amber, accomplishing the entire process in one fell swoop.
There was not half a word of nonsense.
Moreover, after solidifying the space where Alkaid was to amber, he also rolled up the Sky Banishing Tower, intending to sweep up the hundreds of thousands of miles of void into this treasured artifact and then take it with him and leave immediately.
This tactic of striking once, hitting the mark, and fleeing billions of miles was executed to perfection.
However, just as he was about to take the space where Alkaid was and escape, a surge of Void Force suddenly permeated from the area centered around Alkaid, instantly infiltrating the surrounding solidified void.
This infiltration did not disperse the power of the solidified void but significantly reinforced this world, akin to amber.
Especially when the emanating energy even affected the Unforbidden Dao Lord himself, enveloping his very body into it.
This change caused the Dao Lord to frown.
He waved his hand, and the power of the Sky Banishing Tower began to retract rapidly.
As the power of the Sky Banishing Tower retracted, the hundreds of thousands of miles of void that it had solidified also began to shrink rapidly.
Hundred thousand miles, eighty thousand miles, sixty thousand miles, forty thousand miles...
That feeling...
It was as though this space had been granted life, actively closing in towards the Unforbidden Dao Lord's Sky Banishing Tower.
Moreover, as it moved towards the Sky Banishing Tower, the tower's power, the solidified void's power, and the Unforbidden Dao Lord's own power seemed to merge into one, turning the space into an impenetrable fortress.
It was like a piece of amber enveloping another larger piece of amber, causing all three to fall towards this completely solidified space.
And this space...
"Cave Heaven? You want to use a Cave Heaven to capture me, a Dao Lord?"
The Unforbidden Dao Lord sensed for a moment and quickly realized Alkaid's plan, immediately finding his presumptuous behavior laughable.
He had inquired about Alkaid before confronting him.
He knew that Alkaid, when dealing with the Demon Cultivators from the Yin Moon Sect, had more than once beaten them back to the Heavenly Demon Origin and used the power of a Cave Heaven to refine those Cultivators.
But...
You refine the Heavenly Demon Origin of the Demon Cultivators, that's one thing, but to refine a Dao Lord?
The Dao Lord with the origin of the Great Dao integrated into his being?
The term "ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth" doesn't even begin to cover it.
It can only be described as...
Stupid!
At this time, Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, the two Supreme Elders from the Heavenly Dao Sect who accompanied Alkaid, seemed to finally catch on, figuring out what had actually happened.
"Dao Lord! A Dao Lord!"
"Sky Banishing Tower! Is this the Unforbidden Dao Lord?! How can this be... At such a critical moment, why would a Dao Lord risk so much to take action against Alkaid, who at best could only pose a threat to that mysterious Artifact Sage?"
For a moment, the two Supreme Elders let out cries of panic and despair.
In their estimation, many Dao Lords in the Void Path envied those talented in the Void and did not mind taking action to nip them in the bud, but...
They often did so when there was no risk involved.
This situation, where it seemed like he had been deliberately waiting for Alkaid to leave, and took the risk to act in the short time before Jun Tian Dao Lord arrived, was less than an hour...
That completely overturned their expectations.
Since when was a mere Shattered Void worthy of a great Dao Lord's long-premeditated designs?
"How could this be?! Why!?"
"If a Dao Lord really were to take action, shouldn't he be targeting the Artifact Sage behind Alkaid? How could..."
The two Supreme Elders from the Heavenly Dao Sect couldn't make sense of the Unforbidden Dao Lord's behavior, no matter how hard they tried.
And facing a powerful Dao Lord...
At this moment, Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, the two Shattered Void, could only hope that Jun Tian Dao Lord would arrive a bit earlier to stop the Unforbidden Dao Lord's assault, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance.
Because...
It was pointless.
In the face of a Dao Lord, any resistance from the Shattered Void was meaningless.
The high and mighty Unforbidden Dao Lord naturally didn't care about the thoughts of the Shattered Void.
Even, upon realizing that Alkaid actually intended to devour him into a Cave Heaven, he seemed somewhat amused.
Ignorant Shattered Void, dares to resist?
Truly a case of the calf not fearing the tiger because of its ignorance.
However...
"I admire your courage," said the Unforbidden Dao Lord, his Divine Sense flowing as he casually pointed towards the Cave Heaven World opened by Alkaid.
A ripple of Void Force emanated from his fingertip, spreading like ripples in water, each ripple as if containing the force of tens of thousands of stellar collisions. The ripples piled up, forming an unparalleled Void tsunami.
Under such an impact, not just a weakened Cave Heaven world, even a true Dao Artifact placed before it would be ground into dust by these ripples.
However, when the Unforbidden Dao Lord casually unleashed the ripples, they didn't crush Alkaid's Cave Heaven world as he had imagined. Instead, just like a bullet shot into water, the ripples were completely dissolved by the force of the waves in an instant.
Not only that, under the impact of these ripples, the power of the Cave Heaven world seemed to be shrinking. In just a moment, the "Amber" space contracted to within ten thousand miles.
"Huh!? Something's not right!"
At that moment, the Unforbidden Dao Lord finally realized something. He abruptly waved his hand forward, and a Sword of the Void was unleashed with his movement.
The Amber Space, strong enough to withstand ripples from tens of thousands of Stellar bodies, was about to be torn asunder by the cut of the Sword of the Void.
But as this sword was brought down, another Sword of the Void formed from the Cave Heaven world itself, meeting it head-on and striking its blade.
And...
When the two Swords of the Void collided, the Unforbidden Dao Lord's Sword of the Void didn't shatter the one that emerged from the Cave Heaven with the unstoppable force he had expected.
Although the Sword of the Void from the Cave Heaven shattered, turning into a ripple of space that dissipated in all directions, a large portion of the Unforbidden Dao Lord's Sword of the Void's power was also consumed.
With the second Sword of the Void following closely behind, the one unleashed by the Dao Lord was directly defeated.
This scene...
Finally prompted the Unforbidden Dao Lord, who had thought he could easily capture Alkaid, to focus his attention slightly.
He pressed down with his empty hand, unleashing the Sword of the Void, and then retracted his right hand, directly shaking the surrounding Great Void Path.
He attempted to control the Great Void Path in such a way that other powers of the Great Dao couldn't manifest due to the lack of the Void's support.
This was a Fatal Kill technique that a Dao Lord has over cultivators of lower ranks.
Especially a Void Dao Lord.

As long as they extract the power of the Great Void Path, which supports the manifestation of other Daos, even powerful Shattered Void cultivators stand no chance in front of them, and without the ability to use Dao Techniques, they can do nothing but passively take hits and meet their deaths.
This was also the reason why Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, the two Supreme Elders from Heavenly Dao Sect, couldn't muster any fighting spirit upon realizing the one interfering was the Unforbidden Dao Lord of Dao Lord Level.
They simply had no chance.
However, although Alkaid's use of the Void Path didn't compare to that of a Dao Lord, by utilizing three top-tier Dao Artifacts and the special properties of the Path of the Human Immortal, he ultimately achieved the leap from 0 to 1.
While his Sword of the Void was affected and its power somewhat diminished, thanks to the maximized Time Torrent, a continuous stream of Swords of the Void was unleashed.
One sword doesn't do it? Then two.
If two don't suffice, then three, four!
The successive Swords of the Void from within the Cave Heaven shattered the Unforbidden Dao Lord's newly drawn sword.
Even though it appeared to be a struggle, Alkaid ultimately possessed the qualifications to contend against him.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Alkaid could still release Dao Techniques even after he had extracted the Void Path, the Unforbidden Dao Lord couldn't resist unleashing his Divine Sense, "Which colleague of mine is trying to play a joke? If you want to protect this person, just tell me straight, and I, the Unforbidden, will leave immediately!"
His Divine Sense pierced through the Void like a storm, breaking through barriers and relentlessly advancing into the entire Cave Heaven.
In mere moments, he realized something, "No, the power of a Dao Lord can't be this feeble. And also, a Void Dao Lord wouldn't be able to approach me without my integrated Void Path giving any warning... Is it the Great Dao Golden Book!?"
Not just him, but Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, the two Supreme Elders, also came to the same conjecture.
Although they doubted that Alkaid, the Sect Leader, could readily bring the Gold Book with him, there seemed to be no other explanation for the current events.
For a moment, a desperate desire to survive welled up in their eyes.
Yet, instead of being driven back by his suspicions, Unforbidden Dao Lord smirked slightly.
Because...
He believed he had seen through Alkaid's last defense.
"Truly cautious and careful, bringing the Gold Book with you just for this brief moment to ensure nothing goes wrong. If it were an old, less mentally agile Dao Lord from the Abyssal Ruins, perhaps you could last until Jun Tian's reinforcement arrives. Unfortunately, the one you've met is me, the Unforbidden!"
He made a fierce gesture.
The resonance between his own Space Dao and the Sky Banishing Tower surged to the extreme, and visible ripples with a hint of tsunami-like waves crashed in all directions, seemingly intent on shattering the solidified Void surrounding it.
Under the onslaught of these tsunami impacts, the Amber-like space began to rapidly thaw, especially at the edges of the space...
At the edges of Alkaid's Cave Heaven in particular, collapses began to occur, breaking apart.
Seizing this opportunity, the Dao Lord brought his hands together, concentrating the tsunami-like waves spreading in all directions into one, and with an earth-shattering force, he smashed toward the depths of the Cave Heaven.
"No matter what sort of tricks you're playing, now... get out here!"
"Boom!"
With the impact of the tsunami-like waves, the entire periphery of Alkaid's Cave Heaven shattered.
As the external layers of the Cave Heaven fell to pieces, the figure hidden deep within, and the source of the power solidifying this space... were clearly exposed before the eyes of the Dao Lord.
The Formation Patterns meticulously inscribed by the gods, the Dao Artifacts carefully placed, and the keystone that supported the entire Formation, were laid bare without any defense.
With just a glance...
This Unforbidden Dao Lord, who was somewhat proficient in formations, had already recognized the specific rank of this Formation.
"A Sect Protecting Level Formation!?"
