Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 488 - 474: Powerful
```
Top-tier Dao Lords!
Pill Cauldron Dao Lord, Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, Jun Tian Dao Lord, and Emperor Hui Dao Lord heard this title from Qing Ya Dao Lord's mouth and their faces showed longing.
Top-tier Dao Lord was a term circulated only within Dao Lord circles.
The gap between Dao Lords wasn't that big.
Sometimes, due to the restraint of the Great Dao, it was difficult to specifically judge the strengths and weaknesses.
But...
Each Dao Lord had, more or less, a sense of the strengths of the others.
Over time, the term top-tier Dao Lord emerged.
Beneath top-tier Dao Lords, there were also distinctions of renowned Dao Lords and ordinary Dao Lords.
Among them, ordinary Dao Lords represented the general populace within the realm of Dao Lords, and the current Jun Tian, Supreme Subtlety, among others, were at this level.
As for renowned Dao Lords, either they were significantly stronger than other Dao Lords, receiving nearly unconditional recognition of weakness from more than ten Dao Lords,
Or they established their reputation through genuine battle accomplishments, having slain a Dao Lord themselves.
Building their fame on the blood of another Dao Lord.
Representatives among these included the Supreme Purity Dao Lord from the Three Pure Sanctuaries, the Destruction Divine Venerable from the Destruction Divine Clan, and the Innate Demon Venerable from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Going up...
Came the top-tier Dao Lords.
Enough to make other Dao Lords look on in fear.
Or else, having slain at least two extreme-grade Dao Lords.
Before Alkaid, on the Northern Sea Star, only Penglai Dao Lord had received this recognition.
Of course, there were also some renowned Dao Lords who had not returned to Northern Sea Star for a long time and might also have this strength.
But the number was feared to be no more than a handful.
And now...
Apart from Penglai Dao Lord, it was clear that another Alkaid had emerged.
Even if...
He was just a newly promoted Dao Lord.
Even if he just barely met the standard for a top-tier Dao Lord.
Nevertheless, once someone was granted this title, their influence on Northern Sea Star compared to other Dao Lords would be entirely different.
"Top-tier Dao Lord, ah."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord murmured these words, eventually letting out a long breath.
Ran out of ideas.
This time, completely out of ideas.
To contend in the Dao against a top-tier Dao Lord...
Especially one who had only cultivated for just over two hundred years, was sheer longevity.
Don't forget that the Gate of the Immortal Realm will not open for another seven to eight hundred years.
In another seven to eight hundred years, who knows what level he could grow to.
Unprovokable, unprovokable.
This kind of figure could only be coaxed and befriended with every possible method.
"Where could Alkaid Dao Lord have gone now?"
"Void Dao Lord comes and goes without trace, it's difficult for us to sense as well, but according to estimates, nine out of ten, he has gone to assist Penglai Dao Lord in pursuing Jade Kirin Demon Saint."
"First to execute Kunpeng, then to eradicate Jade Kirin, doing so would greatly suppress the Demon Race's morale. Having Alkaid Dao Lord truly is a blessing for our Human Race."
The Dao Lords exchanged communications one after another.
Through the fall of the Unforbidden Dao Lord and Kunpeng Demon Saint, the attitudes of several Dao Lords towards him had unconsciously shifted.
"Clearly we cannot catch up to Alkaid Dao Lord, furthermore, even if we did catch up, with the power of Alkaid Dao Lord and Penglai Dao Lord, two top-tier Dao Lords, eradicating a mere Jade Kirin Demon Saint would be easy, and our presence would be of no help; rather than that, it's better to return for now and wait for Dao Friend Alkaid's victorious return."
Emperor Hui Dao Lord suggested with a smile.
Jun Tian Dao Lord and the other Dao Lords nodded in agreement.
Then, the Dao Lords, one after the other, began traversing, returning to where they came from.
However, upon leaving, several Dao Lords couldn't help but look back at the scene that had become chaotic and shattered from the upheaval of the Void, revealing various terrifying celestial phenomena...
As if they could still see the tragic scene of a Demon Saint's demise not long ago.
"After today... the name Alkaid will be completely spread across Northern Sea Star, and even throughout the starry sky, truly becoming known to all, understood by everyone."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord thought to himself.
With a move, he completely vanished into the Void.
...
Elsewhere, using Void Blink, Alkaid returned with inconceivable speed to another battlefield.
On this battlefield, Jade Kirin Demon Saint, relying on a life-saving treasure, had actually managed to escape from the encirclement of Penglai Dao Lord's Origin Dao.
```
Despite not yet having completely shaken off Penglai Dao Lord, this Demon Saint seemed to have mentally prepared himself for the possibility of being beaten into a frantic retreat when he showed up in front of Penglai Dao Lord, to the extent of having prepared several magical treasures for escaping in advance.
With these items, judging by the current trend, there was a chance he could actually escape with his life right in front of Penglai Dao Lord.
Unfortunately...
This time, he wasn't just facing a single Penglai Dao Lord, but also Alkaid.
Alkaid, who had abruptly appeared at the scene, took just one look and had already understood the situation at hand.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Superior Dao Artifact, Heaven-Sealing Stele.
For Dao Lords, Superior Dao Artifacts were essentially of little use, providing no enhancement to their strength.
Yet through a Superior Dao Artifact, they could ultimately change the attribute or characteristic of their power.
Just like now, using the Heaven-Sealing Stele, Alkaid directly sealed off the Void space where the Jade Kirin Demon Saint was located.
The Jade Kirin Demon Saint, who was fleeing desperately, suddenly felt his form stagnate, as the Origin Sea conjured up by Penglai Dao Lord swiftly swept over him.
"Alkaid!?"
The Jade Kirin Demon Saint, facing the figure blocking his path, let out a roar of shock and anger, "Get lost!"
He abruptly displayed his Heavenly Demon True Body and tore through the Void towards Alkaid.
"Buzz, buzz!"
In the instant he ripped towards Alkaid's body, Alkaid pointed forcefully at the Void in front of him, and the Great Void Annihilation Technique, formed from a massive amount of Void Force, materialized and smashed down towards the charging Jade Kirin Demon Saint.
"Boom!"
Though the Jade Kirin Demon Saint had already manifested his Heavenly Demon True Body, he was still blasted with blood spraying in all directions by the Great Void Annihilation Technique; his entire Heavenly Demon Body was nearly torn apart by this force.
At that moment, Penglai Dao Lord's Origin Dao followed closely, with the Origin Power constantly scouring his body.
Under this scouring force, the Demon Saint's powerful Heavenly Demon Body melted away like snow under the fierce sun.
Even as he continuously tried to shift shapes and break free, he was still entangled by the Origin Power, unable to escape.

In front, Alkaid, having struck with the Great Void Annihilation, had already unhesitatingly condensed a Sword of the Void.
A sword far larger than the previous one by countless times, much like the massive Sword of the Void that Unforbidden Dao Lord used against Alkaid, was then brought down with a slash.
"This is bad!"
The Jade Kirin Demon Saint struggled continuously.
Yet, perceiving the descending slash of Alkaid's sword, Penglai Dao Lord instead increased the intensity of the scouring by the Origin Power, making the Demon Saint like caught in a turbulent flow, completely unable to control the direction of his body, and ultimately could only watch helplessly as the massive Sword of the Void slashed down.
"No!"
The Jade Kirin Demon Saint howled to the heavens.
The next second, the immense Sword of the Void fiercely cleaved through the Heavenly Demon True Body of the Demon Saint, tearing its Heavenly Demon True Body as the void energy within formed into black hole particles. These particles constantly absorbed and devoured everything, grinding every remaining bit of the Heavenly Demon Body into dust.
Merely a moment later, it exploded like an overfilled Chaos Void, energy released, creating an energy shockwave that swept across tens of thousands of miles, and possibly even over a hundred thousand miles in every direction.
However, this shockwave of energy, regardless of its impact on Alkaid or Penglai Dao Lord, caused no substantial harm to either.
Alkaid reached out and picked up the "Chaos Void" that had devoured the Jade Kirin Demon Saint, sealing it with the Void Force.
Soon, that expanse of void was dissected and solidified, eventually transforming into a black pearl radiating waves of starlight.
"Dao Lord."
Alkaid uttered and tossed the "black pearl" to Penglai Dao Lord.
Penglai Dao Lord instinctively caught the "pearl" but was somewhat surprised, "Why give this to me? You were the one who killed the Jade Kirin Demon Saint."
"That is true, but if it wasn't for the Dao Lord binding the Demon Saint at the crucial moment, I might not have been able to kill him so easily. If he had had some unknown life-saving item, he might have truly managed to escape."
Alkaid said with a smile, "Besides... to help me fatally kill Unforbidden Dao Lord, you used up all your life-saving moves. Consider this little trinket a gift to you, a form of compensation."
Upon hearing this, Penglai Dao Lord did not stand on ceremony, "Then I will accept it."
She smiled as she examined the "black pearl" and said, "The Jade Kirin Demon Saint had none of the dignity or grace befitting someone who has Integrated Dao. Ever since I breached the ancestral grounds of the Demon Saint, he has avoided confronting me directly. Wherever I was, he would make sure to evade that area. It was clear that if only I could corner him, his death was certain, yet that opportunity never came. Instead, he continually ordered his Demon Emperors and Demon Lords to wreak havoc in the Deep Blue Sea, killing countless disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Today, you have killed him, and I can finally give an account to these disciples."
Alkaid nodded.
It was because he understood this that he had given the Demon Saint's essence, refined into the black pearl, to Penglai Dao Lord, so she could honor the spirits of the disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect who had died at the hands of the Demon Race over the years.
"Speaking of which, where is the Kunpeng Demon Saint?"
Penglai Dao Lord asked, looking at Alkaid with a touch of surprise in her eyes, "Don't tell me... he's already perished at your hands?"
Alkaid nodded. "If I am not mistaken, Dao Lord, your understanding of the Origin Dao is much higher than that of ordinary Dao Lords of the Origin Path, isn't it? With such an advantage, you should know the extent of the advantage I command when facing a Void Dao Lord of lesser realm."
"Just as I thought!"
Penglai Dao Lord, her eyes full of excitement upon hearing Alkaid's words, said, "Just as I guessed, your comprehension of the Great Void Path has already exceeded that of an ordinary Dao Lord, which is why you were able to complete the process of Integrating Dao so swiftly. Also, it is why you have displayed such a dominant advantage over other Dao Lords as soon as you became one."
"It's just the Great Void Path, after all."
Alkaid smiled. "It wouldn't be the same with other types of Dao Lords."
"The struggle of the Dao has always been about the clash with Dao Lords of the same kind. With such an advantage, it will be almost impossible for other Dao Lords of the Void Path to prevent you from standing out."
She looked at Alkaid, her smile brimming with joy, "If all goes well, when the Gate of the Immortal Realm opens this time, we might both have the chance to ascend and enter the Immortal Realm together."
"Ascending... the Immortal Realm..."
Alkaid listened and nodded slightly.
But as to whether to head to the Immortal Realm when the Gate of the Immortal Realm opens this time, or to remain in the Lower Realm's starry sky for a period of ten thousand years, cleaning out all the Void Dao Lords within, before ascending to the Immortal Realm...
He was still considering.
