Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 507 - 493 Destruction
In the field, there were originally seven Dao Lords of the Void Path, but upon the fall of Xu Huang Divine Venerable, these Dao Lords already had a premonition.
Two of them sensed the dire situation and quickly evacuated.
The remaining five...
Though they also felt the anomaly, they could never have imagined that the six Divine Venerables surrounding Alkaid and Penglai would be defeated so swiftly.
Compared to the tragic defeat of the Divine Race, they were more inclined to believe that Alkaid was merely outwardly strong but hollow inside, that under the sudden assault of the six Divine Venerables of the Divine Race, he had been slain on the spot. The fallen Dao Lord of the Void, they concluded, was this newly promoted Dao Lord.
A recognition formed over tens of thousands of years is difficult to change easily.
It's like someone claiming that a person could win an Olympic gold medal after training for less than a month, which others might also deem absurd.
How would that make those professional athletes who had trained hard for years, or even decades, feel?
This was also why these five Dao Lords of the Void, although they sensed the fall of a Dao Lord, stubbornly refused to leave without personally witnessing what had happened.
And even after the subsequent fall of a Dao Lord of the Void...
The shockwave from the first Dao Lord's fall enveloped the others, allowing them at most to feel that the shockwave from this Dao Lord's fall was intense, but they were unable to accurately assess the specific situation.
As a result...
By the time they managed to grasp the truth, Alkaid had already travelled through the teleportation array, arriving at this expanse of stars.
Appearing on the scene, he immediately employed the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory, disrupting the perceptions of the five Great Dao Lords.
One of the Dao Lords, who had dual-cultivated in perception-type Soul Dao Techniques, swiftly detected the anomaly.
But he was also the primary target of Alkaid's focused attack, becoming the first of the five Great Dao Lords of the Void to fall under his sword.
The remaining four Dao Lords, their perceptions disrupted, were utterly unable to accurately assess the surrounding situation.
Some instantly employed the secret techniques of the Void in an attempt to escape, but they were forcibly suppressed by the vigilant Alkaid.
Another part resorted to using their protective Dao Techniques to the extreme, seeking an opportunity to act.
Alkaid initially ignored those steadfast Dao Lords.
After dealing with those attempting to break out and flee, he then turned his attention to these battling Dao Lords of the Void, sealing themselves off one by one.
The entire process...
Turned out just as Alkaid had speculated, much easier than dealing with the six Divine Venerables.
Compared to slaying these five Great Dao Lords of the Void, Alkaid was more wary of the almost enveloping vast power soon to cover this expanse of stars.
Such power, grand and formidable, even he, with the realm of an Immortal Venerable, felt an overwhelming sense of difficulty to resist, clearly a presence equivalent to an Immortal King.
Though for countless years, no true Immortal was heard to descend to the lower realm, Alkaid dared not gamble.
He dared not bet whether this Immortal King truly had the capability to strike him across the barriers between the immortal and mortal realms.
Therefore, after assimilating merely 3.2 shares of the five Great Dao Lords of the Void, he rapidly concealed his own aura and even utilized his realm at the Immortal Venerable level to suppress his fluctuations of the Great Void Path to that comparable to an ordinary Dao Lord.
Following that, he activated the teleportation formation, his figure flashed, and he returned to the battlefield where Penglai Dao Lord was located.
This battlefield was the site of a fierce battle between Penglai Dao Lord, Destruction Divine Venerable, and Slaughter Divine Venerable.
These two Divine Venerables were the strongest within the Divine Race.
If the battlefield were set within the Divine Nation, each of them possessed the strength to confront the top Dao Lords head-on.
Even though the battlefield was not within their Divine Nation at the moment, the strength they could exert was still considerable.
Penglai Dao Lord, facing two opponents, failed to gain any advantage and could only entangle the two, making it difficult for them to escape.
Seeing Alkaid's return, Slaughter Divine Venerable's expression changed, "So soon!?"
"Alkaid's mastery of the Void Path is peak-perfection, already not inferior to a True Immortal. How could other Dao Lords of the Void compete against him at full strength? By now, they must have already scattered!"
Destruction Divine Venerable saw through Alkaid's pretenses, "The plan has already failed. I will employ the last protective treasure to safeguard us, and we shall break out and return to the Divine Race!"
Slaughter Divine Venerable nodded his head.
At this point, there was no regard for the battle over the Dao.
If they did not employ the means of escape now, they might well perish here today.
At that moment, a Sword Talisman appeared in the hand of Destruction Divine Venerable.
This Sword Talisman manifested, and the grand, formidable Power of Destruction began to emanate from the talisman...
The mere energy fluctuations that seeped out caused Penglai Dao Lord to feel a chilling dread.
Even Alkaid, who had just arrived at the scene, sensed a hint of crisis.
Though this sliver of crisis was not yet lethal, it seemed...
It had already surpassed the damage limit that the Endless Tower could withstand.
"Is that the Talisman left by the Final Ancestor Divine!?"
Penglai Dao Lord, seemingly recalling something, exclaimed in shock.
The next moment, an unprecedented force of destruction descended from the Sword Talisman.
"Be careful!"
Penglai Dao Lord's Divine Sense spun rapidly; her Origin Sea contracted intensely, enveloping her entire being.
Yet even so, when that pure, grand, and formidable Power of Destruction erupted from the Sword Talisman, it almost vaporized her contracted Origin Sea with an overwhelming force.This force of Destruction even shattered and pulverized the power of the Great Void Path, leaving nothing in this vast starry sky but the pure Great Path of Destruction.
With Destruction, it towered above the Spatial Path that could manifest the power of all the Great Daos in the world.
This power...
"Great Destruction Technique!"
Alkaid's heart trembled.
This was an Origin Dao Technique!
It could even be called an Origin Immortal Technique!
When the Penglai Dao Lord once instantly killed the Unforbidden Dao Lord with the Fire of Dao Extinction, his power was only infinitely close to that of an Immortal Technique, but the power bursting forth from the Destruction Divine Venerable's Sword Talisman at this moment truly belonged to a genuine Immortal Technique!
The Origin Immortal Technique of the Great Path of Destruction—Great Destruction Technique!
"Run!"
Just as he was about to join the battlefield, Alkaid, without hesitation, swept up the nearly shattered Penglai Dao Lord with the Origin Sea as the power of the Great Void Path peaked, instantly breaking free from the spectacularly brilliant light of destruction.
Yet even so, the brilliant, dazzling power of destruction still swept over him.
The Endless Tower, calmly enduring the nine Great Dao Techniques, trembled incessantly as if it had reached its damage limit.
Fortunately, with the slight obstruction by the Endless Tower, Alkaid's Void Blink finally activated, instantly escaping the starry sky, rushing out billions of leagues away.
Yet even so, he could still feel the Destruction Torrent rapidly expanding and spreading behind him, sweeping across in an unimaginable speed towards all directions.
For a time, he engaged in dozens of consecutive Void Blinks, moving far away from the battlefield until the rootless force of destruction exhausted itself, whereupon he barely stopped his momentum.
"It's actually... this powerful."
Alkaid's heart felt somewhat heavy.
A true Immortal's actions, perhaps are just this mighty.
Of course, if he had moved with all his strength, he could also have stopped the two Divine Venerables.
But that would definitely require using all the power of the Great Void Path, and that immense, mysterious force had already "looked" this way, so if he were to make a full-strength move...
Heaven knows what consequences it would trigger.
"Unlike Demon Ancestors and Dao Venerables, the Divine Ancestors of the Divine Race are more willing to leave their inheritances for their descendants. It is said that the Prime Origin Ancestor Divine left a fortress for the Divine Race, known as the Immortal Divine Nation, serving as an eternal foundation for the Divine Race. No matter what dangers the Divine Race faced, as long as they hid within the Divine Nation, even a hundred Dao Lords combined could not breach it. The Final Ancestor Divine left them three Sword Talismans, each one a Fatal Kill weapon at the peak of the Path of Destruction!"
With a solemn expression, the Penglai Dao Lord said, "During the great war between the Divine and the Demons, the Primordial Demon Ancestor once intended to erase the Divine Race completely; however, upon the Divine Race releasing three Destruction Sword Talismans and severely injuring the Primordial Demon Ancestor, he abandoned the idea of annihilating the Divine Race... We had thought that these talismans were exhausted in that divine-demonic war, but unexpectedly... there's still one remaining within the Destruction Divine Clan!"
Ancestor Divine! Dao Venerable! Demon Ancestor! Buddha! Martial Emperor! Human Emperor!
These are the reverent titles that the world gives to those who dominated an era and shone beyond common comprehension.
Like the Emperor Yi Dao Venerable of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the Hongmeng Dao Venerable of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Creation Dao Venerable of the Three Pure Sanctuaries, are figures in the Ten Great Immortal Paths surpassing all Dao Lord-level beings.
And Human Emperor Shang Tang, Martial Emperor Pan Wu, Primordial Demon Ancestor, Prime Origin Ancestor Divine, Final Ancestor Divine...
They too are existences on par with a Venerable Dao level.
"It has been passed down since ancient times that these beings are reincarnations of Immortals, precisely because of this, they could exhibit power far beyond their peers in the Lower Realm. Remember, even those reputed to be invincible at the Dao Lord Level, managing to fight ten opponents is already the limit, but these individuals..."
Glancing once at the ceaselessly surging wave of destruction at the edge of the starry sky, and then at Alkaid, the Penglai Dao Lord continued, "Almost every one of them regards ordinary Dao Lords as nothing, truly suppressing all Dao Lords of an era with their power alone.
Realizing something from the unusual look in Penglai Dao Lord's eyes, Alkaid smiled and said, "You wouldn't think that I am also a reincarnation of an Immortal, would you?"
"Although there's a bit of a gap compared to those Dao Venerables, facing the Void Dao Lord in your presence is pretty much no different than facing a Dao Venerable, right?"
The Penglai Dao Lord said, pausing slightly, "Especially since you've only cultivated for five hundred years, compared to those who became renowned across the world only after thousands of years of cultivation, you're still in your growth period."
"Dao Venerable!"
Feeling the increase in his internal Void Share to 8.9, Alkaid contemplated.

The increase in share allowed him to harness more power of the Great Void Path.
This vast power of the Great Void Path, combined with his Immortal Venerable Realm...
...enabled him to manifest power comparable to an invincible Dao Lord when facing other Dao Lords.
Once he upgrades the Limitless Sword to a Semi-Immortal Artifact and balances the three elements...
His combat prowess will definitely reach new heights.
At that point...
It might be a bit challenging to face dozens or hundreds of Dao Lords head-on, but if he capitalized on his Void Path Dao Lord advantage, extended the battle, and took some time to defeat dozens of Dao Lords, it certainly wouldn't be difficult.
However, to truly accomplish what the Hongmeng Dao Venerable, Emperor Yi Dao Venerable, and Creation Dao Venerable did by overwhelmingly dominating and regarding hundreds of Dao Lords as trivial...
"Even a 9.9 share of the Great Dao and possessing three to five Semi-Immortal Artifacts isn't enough!
Alkaid was very certain in his heart.
They either carried real Immortal Artifacts.
Or...
Their realm was so high, it was not merely that of an Immortal Venerable.
Rather...
Immortal King!
