Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 495 - 481: Interception

For a Dao Lord like Alkaid, the Northern Sea Star was merely a speck.

Whenever any two Dao Lords fought, the disturbances they caused in the Great Dao could be sensed by all Dao Lords on the Northern Sea Star.

Often, wide-scale confrontations between Dao Lords were avoided on the Northern Sea Star, due to the risk that it might shatter the star.

Even though...

the Northern Sea Star was influenced by the rules of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, which made it many times more robust than any other star.

Similarly, when a Dao Lord knew the destination of other Dao Lords, as long as the direction was correct, it was easy to wait on their inevitable path.

After all, to them, this "road" could be hundreds of thousands, even millions of miles wide.

That's exactly how Penglai Dao Lord intercepted them.

Particularly, when she released her aura, fully displaying her might as a top Dao Lord, the Innate Demon Venerable, Huang Quan Demon Venerable, and Nine Serenities Demon Venerable, who were originally coming from three different directions, gathered together as if by agreement.

Although Alkaid was equally formidable, looming like a fierce sun in the sky, many saw Penglai Dao Lord as a greater threat.

The Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion, even with a Fifteenth Level Sect Protection Array and a Dao Lord in charge, was nearly shattered directly by Penglai Dao Lord. If it wasn't for a mediator who arrived just in time to persuade Penglai Dao Lord, the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion would have already become history.

Especially since recently, she had directly and indirectly killed two cultivators of the Unity Realm Stage from the Abyssal Ruins and Yu Lin.

Such a top Dao Lord, capable of destroying a sect all by herself, who would not fear her?

Who would dare to confront her alone?

Before long, three Demon Venerables from the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao came together.

"The way forward is blocked, stop here,"

Penglai Dao Lord said calmly.

The Demon Venerables exchanged glances. The Innate Demon Venerable, being covertly the first among the Demon Dao, stepped forward and said gravely, "Penglai Dao Lord, do you truly wish to be enemies with all nine of us from six sects? Even though you are a top Dao Lord, facing all nine of us simultaneously bears the risk of perishing on the spot. You must consider carefully whether it is worth it to make us all your adversaries over a matter concerning Alkaid."

"What Hei Yue Demon Venerable did during friend Alkaid's attempt to Integrate Dao is not unknown to you all. Now, as friend Alkaid retaliates, it is naturally justified. Thus, if you intervene, it isn't me seeking enmity but you insisting on a confrontation to the end,"

Penglai Dao Lord explained leisurely.

She was not overly fearful of the nine great Demon Venerables of the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao.

The main point...

The Six Sects of the Demonic Dao were not united.

In terms of selfishness among alliances within the Northern Sea Star today, the Six Sects of the Demonic Dao would rank second to none.

The quality of their alliance...

If Alkaid was willing to join forces with her, consuming the nine Demon Venerables from the Six Sects one step at a time, other Demon Venerables would likely stand by, given even the slightest justification.

They might even blame that particular Demon Monarch for offending Alkaid or her, Penglai.

Even if some Demon Venerables realized that their objective was to dismantle the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao, it would be hard for the remaining ones to unite.

If things went south, and two or three Demon Venerables perished, the remaining ones from the Six Sects might just disband on their own.

Fight to the death?

The Demonic Dao is selfish and self-serving; there's no one who would act with the greater good in mind and sacrifice willingly.

This time, that Hei Yue Demon Venerable managed to solicit the support of the Innate Demon Venerable, Huang Quan Demon Venerable, and Nine Serenities Demon Venerable...

Honestly, it was somewhat surprising to Penglai Dao Lord.

She had thought it would be good even if just one or two Demon Venerables came to Hei Yue's aid.

"Penglai Dao Lord."

Innate Demon Venerable said gravely, "Hei Yue did indeed offend Alkaid Dao Lord during his Dao Integration. For this, the Six Sects of the Demonic Dao are willing to urge Hei Yue to make reparations. However, for you and Alkaid to attack him and drive him to death goes a bit too far. Please allow us through to stop Alkaid Dao Lord. We can then discuss how to make amends and resolve this matter gradually."

"Alkaid has been a Dao Lord for not long, just a month or two, and during this period, I haven't seen any sign of sincerity from your Hei Yue Demon Venerable in making reparations. How come, previously indifferent, now that he's been attacked, he is ready to sit down for talks, to make reparations?"

Penglai Dao Lord said with a playful smile.

Innate Demon Venerable felt a bit embarrassed, but his face showed no signs of disturbance: "Isn't it because Alkaid Dao Lord has just Integrated Dao and needs time to stabilize his realm? For Hei Yue to come bearing apologies at this moment would seem rather tactless and might even aggravate Alkaid Dao Lord further, spoiling the goodwill..."

"Enough, no need for further words,"

Penglai Dao Lord waved her hand: "Life and death are predestined. We will leave the chance to Hei Yue himself. If he can withstand Alkaid for half an hour, I will persuade Alkaid to leave him alone. But if he cannot last even half an hour, then he deserves this fate."

"Half an hour,"

Innate Demon Venerable's eyes narrowed slightly.

What Penglai Dao Lord meant by half an hour was not actually giving Alkaid half an hour, but...

that she could hold them off, all three of them, for half an hour by herself.

Such confidence...

It would be a mistake not to take the Innate Demon Venerable seriously.

As the strongest among the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao and a figure who had a reputation for decades, including defeating a Dao Lord, he believed that even if he was inferior to Penglai, it wouldn't be by much.

Moreover...

Intercepting and determining a winner are not the same thing.

The difficulty of one powerhouse trying to block another increases significantly.

With three of them present, for Penglai to still claim to be able to hold them off for half an hour...

was somewhat arrogantly conceited.

"Penglai Dao Lord, is there really no room for discussion?"

The Innate Demon Venerable said sternly.

Penglai Dao Lord understood his words and extended a hand, "Why don't you three try? See if you can break through my blockade within half an hour!"

The Innate Demon Venerable exchanged a glance with Huangquan and Jiuyou, the two other great Demon Venerables, and in the next moment, charged fiercely at Penglai, launching a burst of corrosive black fog with a wave of his hand. The black fog transformed into a black dragon that pounced directly at Penglai Dao Lord.

On the other hand, Huangquan and Jiuyou, two great Demon Venerables, heightened their speed to the extreme, evidently trying to bypass her from the left and right to aid Hei Yue.

However...

Penglai Dao Lord merely waved her hand casually, and the power of the Origin Dao she harnessed unleashed a vast ocean of origin power that slapped down the corrosive black dragon formed by the Innate Demon Venerable.

At the same time, she raised her right hand and made a slashing gesture at Huangquan Demon Venerable. The vast origin power gathered into a heavy sword presence, as thick as tens of thousands of Chaos Voids, which smashed down forcefully, forcing the Demon Venerable to hastily defend.

Immediately after, she flashed in form, and with the power of the Tianya diagram, easily intercepted Jiuyou Demon Venerable. The origin power transformed into a wall, pushing forward and crashing head-on into this Demon Venerable who thought he could break through, smashing him back.

The powers of the Darkness Dao, Death Dao, and Gui Water Dao continuously collided with the power of the Origin Dao, causing fluctuations in the Dao that once again captured the attention of all Dao Lords on Northern Sea Star.

In fact, the moment the Innate Demon Venerable, Huangquan, and Jiuyou hurried on their way, some at the Unity Realm Stage had already sensed something unusual.

Furthermore, the outbreak of the great battle between Alkaid and Hei Yue Demon Venerable at the Yin Moon Sect had already drawn the focus of many at the Unity Realm Stage.

Seeing now how Penglai Dao Lord intercepted the three great Demon Venerables of the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao...

All watching Dao Lords felt a chill in their hearts.

This frequent occurrence of Dao Lord battles gave them the illusion that the day of Dao conflict had fully arrived.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jun Tian Dao Lord appeared in time and quickly informed all Dao Lords on Northern Sea Star about the commencement and outcomes of this great battle.

Upon learning that the incident started from Alkaid's revenge against Hei Yue Demon Venerable for his previous attack during his Dao integration, although they felt that he was too aggressive and overly sharp, they eventually found his reasons justifiable and said nothing.

However, after learning of this news, the Divine Venerable of Light immediately showed a gloomy expression and started discussing countermeasures with the other nine Divine Venerables of the Divine Race.

...

The changes in the outside world did not affect Alkaid in the slightest.

At this moment, one after another, his Great Annihilation Techniques continuously smashed down.

The Heavenly Immortal Path required the combination of several, or even more than ten Dao Techniques into one, directly molding the origin, to be transcended.

Those kind of Origin Dao Techniques, even a single Dao Technique contains the transformations of several, or even more than ten Dao Techniques.

These transformations combined and overlaid, just like the difference between a scattered plate of sand and a formed military formation, could unleash effects where the sum is greater than its parts.

Although the paths of Human Immortal and Heavenly Immortal differ, the essence of Origin Dao Techniques is the same, essentially encompassing all transformations of that Dao.

Though the Great Annihilation Technique isn't like the Great Void Technique belonging to Origin Dao Techniques, the contained might is still comparable to that of two or three Dao Techniques combined.

Containing the powers to destroy, shatter the Void, and even condense and contract the Void in advance.

Upon one strike, the space centered around Hei Yue Demon Venerable would first be solidified, then contract and collapse, and in the next moment, utterly shatter and disintegrate, destroying everything contained within, turning them into nothingness. Even other Dao powers would struggle to manifest due to the loss of their "carrier", creating a weakening effect on the Daos outside the Void.

Under such nearly Quasi-Immortal Technique Level Dao Technique attacks, Hei Yue Demon Venerable could only struggle to defend, relying on one after another of his extraordinary life-saving items to barely hang on.

In merely dozens of breaths, this Demon Venerable was already in grave danger.

Especially as his life-saving items were exhausted, he had practically reached the end of his rope.

"Stop! Alkaid, my friend, must we really push things to the brink of life and death?"

In a life-or-death crisis, Hei Yue Demon Venerable had no choice but to bow and plead, "If you want the territory of the Yin Moon Sect, I will give it to you. Additionally, during my journey outside, I discovered a secret place containing quite a bit of Taiyi Jinxing. I've collected some on me as proof. As long as you are willing to show me mercy, not only am I willing to stay far from the Northern Sea, I'll never step into this starry sky again. These items as well, I am willing to hand them all over to you..."

"Killing you, these items will be mine as well."

Alkaid remained indifferent and launched another Great Annihilation Technique at him.

Seeing that Alkaid was resolute in killing him and based on the battle fluctuations,

judging that the Innate Demon Venerable and others coming to his aid were blocked by Penglai, Hei Yue gritted his teeth, reversed the formation to create a forbidden ground, transformed into a burst of Demonic Flames, surged out of the formation, and fled Yin Moon Sect, heading straight in the direction where the Innate Demon Venerable and others were gathering.

As for the other members of the Yin Moon Sect trapped in the formation with Alkaid...

He could not concern himself with that much anymore.
