Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 484 - 470

"Integrate Dao."

Alkaid quietly felt that kind of force which was one of the basic, yet most core, amongst the Three Thousand Forces constructing the entire universe—Void.

When he completely immersed himself in this power, he felt himself become "Void" itself; he was the spokesperson for Void, bearing the foundation of everything.

The deeper the immersion, the stronger this feeling became, the "range" he represented expanded vaster.

Once he thoroughly became a part of Void, he would become Void itself in the universe.

Of course, for human beings, with their Divine Sense and will, if they wished to fully merge into the Void, expanding their "Perception" to the universal level, the only thing waiting for them was to be devoured by the Void.

That feeling...

It was like casting a vast, great individual into an immensely large scale.

Like a star, a black hole.

These entities seem vast and god-like to humans, but as the perspective is pulled further back, the fiercely shining stars quickly become tiny.

From a galactic viewpoint, a star turns into a mere speck of light; from a cluster of galaxies, stars vanish completely; and from a super cluster of galaxies, one could spend a lifetime trying to find its location.

It was the same for him post-merging the Dao.

Perhaps he wasn't as insignificant as a star, possibly grander than a galaxy.

But when the scale is set to the universal level, he still belonged to those beings who could hardly be found despite exhaustive efforts.

Such level of power, mind, and soul, how could they truly control the operation of the Great Void Path.

Forcing a merger would only result in drifting along until being washed away completely, losing oneself, becoming a part of the Great Void Path.

"The path after merging the Dao is, step by step, making oneself stronger, mastering more of the Great Void Path... until... completely becoming the master of this Path, achieving the status of Void Ancestor!"

Alkaid thought to himself.

This was the path he saw when his realm ascended early on.

Initially, he still harbored some luck, thinking perhaps he had not integrated the Dao, misunderstanding it.

But now, after truly integrating the Dao, he had to admit...

The path was just so.

"This path, to become powerful, is not about cultivation; the realm is one thing, the Path mastered is another matter."

Alkaid stretched out his hand, feeling the Void Force flowing through his fingertips.

At this step, the share of the Path mastered by every cultivator is the same.

Dao Lord, it is merely one ten-thousandth.

Cultivation?

Cultivation is pointless.

Cultivation could at best improve the realm of a Dao Lord, enhancing his control over the Void Force, and when future shares become available, it could better contend for those shares.

The true limit of Void power can only be achieved by killing other Void Dao Lords, taking their shares, and making a leap in one's cultivation.

In other words, once one steps on the path of integrating Dao, the same type of integration is destined to become mortal enemies with others of its kind.

"Especially... because belonging to the same Path, Dao Lords can generate perception between each other... This kind of perception not only understands each other's location but even... generates natural hostility!"

Alkaid felt somewhat uneasy.

Void Dao Lords can only kill another Void Dao Lord to increase their share limit, enhancing their own power.

Because of this, Dao Lords of the same type, influenced by the Path, will develop natural enmity.

And Dao Lords of the same type can also sense each other...

What is this!?

This is simply raising gu!

Now, the only thing he couldn't understand was why so far, no three thousand Dao Ancestors had been born yet.

According to the logic of the operation of the Dao, the Gates of the Immortal Realm should have already bred a King of Gu, that is, a Daoist Ancestor.

A Daoist Ancestor emerging would mean that this Path should have no more Dao Lords.

But the reality is not so.

"Just the Gate of the Immortal Realm at Northern Sea Star alone has handed down forty-nine Paths, including the immensely popular Great Void Path... not to mention other Gates of the Immortal Realm... The Dao Techniques and paths I can currently access exceed one thousand eight hundred; according to this logic, at least one thousand eight hundred Paths haven't produced a Daoist Ancestor... This doesn't make sense."

Alkaid was thoroughly puzzled.

After a while, he suppressed this thought.

This kind of secret involving Daoist Ancestors, perhaps, required him to go to the Immortal Realm, or possibly promote his realm to one percent, or even a tenth before he could access it.

Now...

He was best off focusing diligently on the task at hand.

"Although the road ahead after merging Dao is destined to be rugged, it's after all a step towards a new stage,"

he said to himself in his heart.

In some ways, he was already at the peak of the lower dimension universe.

Though a Dao Lord has a lifespan limit of 129,600 years, but...

Having become a Dao Lord, for at least the next 120,000 years, he could ensure worry-free security for himself.

Especially...

"The path of the Human Immortal is now completely open to me,"

He distinctly felt that after Integrating Dao, he could fully transform his essence into the Limitless Sword, Eight Desolates Mirror, and the Endless Tower—three major Dao Artifacts.

Using the Endless Tower as the body, the Limitless Sword as the essence, and transforming the Eight Desolates Mirror as the soul.

With these three as support, he could draw in the Power of the Great Void Path to infuse into the three grand Dao Artifacts, enhancing his own strength.

Even without a share, the three top Dao Artifacts possessed a might on par with that of Lifebound Daoist Artifacts. In direct combat, they far surpassed Ghost Immortals and Earth Immortals outside their strongholds, and even compared favorably to the path of Deities.

"No need to endure the increasingly 'Dao Transformation' brought about by the Deity path which thins emotions and impairs thinking, yet possessing combat strength on par with a Deity... At most, it requires investing three Immortal Artifacts as the cost... The path of the Human Immortal is indeed the most suitable path for me currently,"

...

Just as Alkaid was quietly contemplating the changes that Integrating Dao brought to the path of Human Immortals, in the distance, the Kunpeng Demon Saint and the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation, both from the Void Path, became somewhat restless.

Alkaid reaching Dao Lord status, for others, might merely mean another Dao Lord added to the Ten Great Immortal Paths, but for this particular Void Dao Lord, it meant a rival had emerged.

Especially...

This rival even had natural allies like Penglai Dao Lord and Jun Tian Dao Lord, and behind him stood someone capable of refining top Dao Artifacts.

Beyond that...

A Dao Lord at two hundred years old!?

What kind of monstrosity is this!?

With a background, talent and equipment... If he truly decides to participate in Dao competing in the future...

It would definitely become a significant threat to these Dao Lords of the Void Path.

How could the two Void Dao Lords ignore that?

Feeling the "Dao Lord" aura that Alkaid now possessed, the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation's expression was filled with jealousy and unwillingness: "How could such a thing happen!?"

Unwillingness gradually transformed, becoming fierce and terrifying: "I don't believe that Alkaid, this junior, could have integrated Dao so smoothly! Throughout the entire history of the Northern Sea Star, the fastest Dao Lord still took a month to successfully breakthrough, a teacup's time!? What's the difference between this and instant Dao integration? What does he take Dao integration for? How could it be so easy! It's fake! This must be a fake!"

Hearing what the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation said, the Kunpeng Demon Saint, also filled with jealousy and murderous intent towards Alkaid becoming a Void Dao Lord, quickly realized something: "I also don't believe he successfully integrated Dao! Perhaps he possesses some sort of treasure that is simulating the appearance of Dao integration! We must test it!"

His eyes turned cold: "With so many Dao Lords here, especially us two Void Dao Lords, who came targeting Alkaid, if we don't even dare to try, how would the world view us? Besides, this is our Void Path's affair, if we don't take the lead, who could stand up for us? Hei Yue? Jade Kirin? Radiance? They are not Dao Lords of our Void Path!"

"What's your plan?"

"We are Void Dao Lords, the vast world is ours to traverse! Even Penglai, how could they stop us!?"

Upon hearing the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation ask, Kunpeng Demon Saint immediately egged on: "Alkaid must have a great secret on him, otherwise, how could he achieve such an impossible feat? I can work with Jade Kirin to hold off Penglai for a moment, while Radiance and Hei Yue can hold off Emperor Hui and Jun Tian. You strike with full force and deal with Alkaid, completely snuff him out in the cradle!"

"Deal with Alkaid..."

Struggle flickered in the eyes of the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation.

But this struggle merely lasted a moment before being overridden by jealousy and unwillingness: "Fine! But Alkaid's corpse and the possessions on his body must be mine!"

"Fine!"

The Kunpeng Demon Saint quickly agreed.

As for the Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord and Pill Cauldron Dao Lord, they did not worry too much.

Let's not mention the Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord.

As a Void Dao Lord, his decision not to act against Alkaid was already a favor sold to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

And the Pill Cauldron Dao Lord would not easily enter the fray until the situation was clear.

Qing Ya Dao Lord, however, needed to be cautious, as he might really attack the Divine Venerable Radiance.

However...

The power differences among Dao Lords are not significant, and a life-and-death struggle is tough to decide in a short time. Even if facing two opponents, the Divine Venerable Radiance could likely hold his own for a while.

In summary, having to watch Alkaid becoming a Dao Lord so quickly, it was impossible for these two great Void Dao Lords to believe, and moreover...

They were determined to try it out once.

If Alkaid was just putting on a grand façade or had paid a tremendous price to achieve the Dao Lord Realm, then they would seize the moment of his recent breakthrough to annihilate him.

If he truly had entered the Dao Lord Realm, and they could not do much against him in a short time...

They would simply retreat immediately.

The greatest confidence of a Void Dao Lord is their ability to advance and retreat freely.

Penglai Dao Lord had already used her trump card in the Dao conflict; they did not believe she still had any treasures that could fatally strike these Dao Lords of the Void.

Divine Venerables, Demon Saints, and Dao Lords quickly reached a consensus with their Divine Sense.

With so many prestigious figures gathered, standing off with imposing attitudes, backing off without making a move would instead make them seem fearful.

Besides, Alkaid had integrated Dao in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

Anyone would know there must be an astonishing secret with him.

Who wouldn't want to unravel this mystery?

Therefore, upon reaching a consensus, the Kunpeng Demon Saint was almost the first to traverse, using the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique to devour Penglai Dao Lord.

As he attracted the attention of Penglai Dao Lord, the Dao Lord of Quiet Annihilation followed suit immediately, targeting Alkaid, who had just seemingly completed his breakthrough.

A Dao Lord battle erupted nearly immediately as everyone in the Ten Great Immortal Paths thought the dust had settled.
