Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 481 - 467: Impact
```
"I applied too much force, so nothing was left behind except for some remnants on the Sky Banishing Tower that was bound by the Ten Prisons Dragon Capturing Formation."
Spoke the Penglai Dao Lord.
"As long as the Soul Charm Mysterious Crystal is still functional, it's fine."
Alkaid said, glancing at the chaotic Void Force in this area.
This power...
Was truly terrifying to the extreme.
It would seem not much inferior to that of a true Immortal.

"In order to slay the Unforbidden Dao Lord this time, I've exhausted all my trump cards, using up the carefully refined Annihilation Fire Seed in an instant. Without any usable Fatal Kill moves left, my deterrence will likely diminish greatly. Therefore, you must hasten, Integrate Dao as soon as possible. In the future, you must at least help me craft a Semi-Immortal Artifact to soothe my sense of loss."
Penglai Dao Lord said with a smile.
Alkaid nodded.
The Unforbidden Dao Lord had the Void Origin as a life-saving trump card. If Penglai Dao Lord hadn't made the decisive move to use the Annihilation Fire Seed and release the Dao-eradicating fire, that Dao Lord would have likely escaped unscathed.
After all, at that time, even he felt utterly helpless and could only accept the failure of the ambush in his heart.
And had this ambush failed, once people knew that he had the capability to lay out a Fifteenth Level Formation, attempting to lure another Void Dao Lord into a trap would be nothing but wishful thinking.
To challenge for the Unity Realm Stage in the future, he would likely have to wait until the Dao-struggle period arrived and take the opportunity when a Void Dao Lord perished to ascend.
By then, he might not have enough time to transform the top Dao Artifacts he possessed into Semi-Immortal Artifacts, let alone true Immortal Artifacts.
And without the power of a Semi-Immortal Artifact to aid him...
Facing the most fiercely competitive Dao-Struggle Race of the Void, he, with his relatively shallower foundation, might not be able to secure a spot to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm. Worse still, it could delay him another ten thousand years.
Of course, he still had the chance to take a gamble on the Gate of the Immortal Realm billions of light-years away.
But he knew nothing about the specifics there.
What if the opening cycle of the Immortal Realm's Gate there was longer, the competition fiercer than here? That could result in a loss far outweighing any gain.
Therefore, Penglai Dao Lord's decisive Fatal Kill move had truly done him a great favor.
"Thank you. Once I Integrate Dao, the first thing I will do is try to craft a Semi-Immortal Artifact for you," Alkaid said.
"Then, I shall look forward to it," replied Penglai Dao Lord with a slight smile. "When do you plan to seek the chance to Integrate Dao?"
"The chance to Integrate Dao," Alkaid too smiled: "It is right now."
"Now?" Penglai Dao Lord was slightly taken aback.
Then she asked, puzzled, "Weren't you supposed to refine a Semi-Immortal Artifact first to elevate your spirit before striking for the Integration? How come..."
"Enough."
"In this great battle, I stood equal with the Unforbidden Dao Lord for nearly the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew. My spirit is in the best state it has ever been, and thus, I am confident that I can challenge the Integration Realm right away," Alkaid said. He looked at Penglai Dao Lord: "States like this come and go in a flash, so I would ask you, Dao Lord, to act as my protector."
"To clash with the Endless Dao Lord..." Penglai Dao Lord looked at Alkaid.
With her insight, she could naturally see that Alkaid was not carrying the Great Dao Golden Book!
To be able to fight for as long as a cup of tea with a Dao Lord without relying on the Great Dao Golden Book, a top Semi-Immortal Artifact...
Such capability, such talent, was indeed rare in this world.
And for such a rare genius in this world...
Whatever he wished to do, they, the mediocre, should simply listen and oblige.
Penglai Dao Lord gave a slight smile: "Fine, I will protect the Dao for you right away!"
With a wave of her hand, the Void around Alkaid was quickly filled with the power of the Origin Dao.
Alkaid too released Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, who he had protected: "Two Supreme Elders, you've seen it. I just now fought the Dao Lord without falling behind. At this moment, I feel like my spirit is at its absolute peak. I do not want to miss this opportunity. Right now, I will challenge the Integration Realm. As for welcoming Jun Tian Dao Lord, I will have to trouble both of you. Furthermore, please ask Jun Tian Dao Lord to act as a protector for me!"
Without giving the two Supreme Elders a chance to reply, with a flick of his hand, he and the two elders, as well as the warship used as part of the welcoming ceremony, were sent by the Void Force tens of thousands of miles away.
Then, the crumbling Ten Prisons Dragon Capturing Formation rose around Alkaid, enveloping his figure while simultaneously reflecting the Origin Dao's radiance from Penglai Dao Lord.
A profound force of Dao charm suddenly burst forth from him.
"Today, I shall stand and Integrate Dao!"
...
In the distance, Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, who were sent tens of thousands of miles away, felt dizzy and disoriented.
Even their thoughts were struggling to keep up.
Just a second ago, they were guessing if their Sect Leader was using himself as bait, coordinating with Penglai Dao Lord to entice a Void Dao Lord to strike and reduce the risks of the Heavenly Calamity.
The very next second...
Their guess was confirmed.
Penglai Dao Lord, who suddenly appeared, caught the Unforbidden Dao Lord off guard.
Even though the Unforbidden Dao Lord summoned the Void Origin—a treasure refined over tens of thousands of years—he was still obliterated by Penglai Dao Lord's Dao-eradicating fire.
Such a commotion...
It surely had shaken the entire Northern Sea Star.
Everyone would be astounded that two Void Dao Lords perished in such a short interval.
The deaths of these two Void Dao Lords would also deter all other Void Dao Lords, making them think twice before taking any action against Alkaid.
Before the two could recover from the shock of the bold and audacious event, Sect Leader Alkaid...
```
Integrating Dao already!?
The Unforbidden Dao Lord just died, and now someone is directly integrating Dao!?
This...
This is Integrating Dao, for heaven's sake!
It's the most important step in the long life of any cultivator!
Without equal!
At such a critical moment that could make or break the leap from fish to dragon, failing to spend decades, even hundreds of years adjusting oneself to peak condition, making all preparations before proceeding...
Can they be so casual about it?
What's even more incredible is...
Almost when Zhen Xuanyuan, Gu Li, and others were less than a hundred thousand miles away, aboard their warship, Zhen Xuanyuan, as a Shattered Void of the Void Path, had already keenly sensed something.
"This is…"
He vaguely perceived ripples emanating throughout the Great Void Path.
These ripples seemed to carry a cheerful mood, welcoming the arrival and joining of some great individual.
Consequently, all cultivators of the Void Path felt their powers operating more sensitively and vibrantly than before.
"It's begun!? This... it's actually started!?"
Zhen Xuanyuan's face was full of disbelief.
Fast!
Way too fast!
A few breaths ago, someone decided to launch the integration, and a few breaths later, they've entered the state of Integrating Dao!?
Not just Zhen Xuanyuan.
...
Outside the Northern Sea Star, aboard the warship that had just completed a Void Shuttle, individuals like Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, Jun Tian Dao Lord, Pill Cauldron Dao Lord, and Qing Ya Dao Lord rapidly perceived something, exchanged glances with each other, and simultaneously showed expressions of horror.
"This is…"
"Integrating Dao! A Shattered Void of the Void Path is integrating Dao!"
Below, many True Monarchs of the Void Path couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
The other Shattered Voids might have trouble sensing it, but those of the Void Path could feel it without exception.
It is said that Dao Lords have an even greater perception that transcends distance.
No matter how far the person integrating Dao has concealed themselves, a Dao Lord of the Void Path can precisely sense their position. What follows is every Integrator's most dreaded tribulation—the arrival of the human calamity where any fellow Dao Lord will strike down others attempting to ascend to Dao Lordship.
On one hand, this seems to be an ancient rule handed down through the ages.
On the other hand...
It's directly related to the power struggle over the Dao.
For a moment, everyone's gaze simultaneously fell on Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, the Dao Lord of the Void Path.
"First, let's find out who the Integrator is and who their protector is before making any decisions."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord spoke.
Jun Tian Dao Lord nodded in agreement as well.
Although the individual integrating the Dao is not a Dao Lord of the True Path, the event is ultimately occurring right above their Heavenly Dao Sect's airspace, so he naturally had to get involved.
At that moment, he seemed to sense something and immediately said, "Someone from our Sect has arrived. Since the Integrator is within our Heavenly Dao Sect's airspace, our people must know something about them. I'll call them over to ask."
"Good."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord gave a slight nod, "I also want to know, which young prodigies of the Void Path in our Northern Sea Star have emerged these years."
Integration has never been easy.
Because the process of Dao Transformation, depending on the cultivator's strength, can last up to a century.
Therefore, the Void Dao Lord isn't concerned about such a brief delay.
Soon, the warship with Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li aboard arrived in front of the warship presided over by Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord.
Before the two Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect had time to make a formal entrance, the Divine Sense of Jing Hong True Monarch arrived, "I am Ni Chang, the two elders should quickly board the warship to talk. My master and several Dao Lords have something to inquire about."
"Jing Hong True Monarch!"
Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li were naturally well aware of this True Monarch's reputation.
This True Monarch's talent was said to be even greater than Jing Hong True Monarch.
This was evident when Jun Tian Dao Lord took her with him on his travels as part of his cultivation.
Clearly, he was treating her as the Heavenly Dao Sect's next potential Dao Lord to nurture.
Given her words, the two didn't dare to delay, and after instructing their crew to wait on the warship, they quickly descended onto the ship carrying several Dao Lords, and with the guidance of Jing Hong True Monarch, they quickly entered the interior of the warship.
Upon seeing no fewer than five great Dao Lords inside the warship, neither Zhen Xuanyuan nor Gu Li showed any hint of the pride befitting Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect. They immediately stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "We greet the Dao Lords, we greet Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, Pill Cauldron Dao Lord..."
"Alright, enough with the formalities."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord waved his hand and shared a glance with Jun Tian Dao Lord.
For the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, even if the matter involved her, the Dao Lord of the Void Path, she didn't want to overstep.
However, Jun Tian Dao Lord naturally gave face to this Dao Lord of the Three Pure Sanctuaries and immediately said, "The Dao Lord may inquire directly."
After speaking, he said to Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, "I assume you both already know why Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord has called you here. You must answer the Dao Lord's questions truthfully."
Zhen Xuanyuan was startled, then quickly caught on to something, "Does the Dao Lord wish to inquire about the identity of the Integrator?"
"Correct. At present, although not all Dao Lords of Northern Sea Star are back yet, I reckon there are still fifteen or twenty of them."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord nodded slightly, looking towards Northern Sea Star, "I'm eager to know, which young prodigy of the Void Path has the audacity to integrate Dao within the airspace of Northern Sea Star? And which Dao Lord is so confident to act as the protector of this Integrator?"
