Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 620 - 607: Sovereign

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The tremors of the Gate of Cause and Effect were extremely slight.

So slight they could be ignored.

Even the emanating power of Causality was negligible.

But how keen were the perceptions of the Immortal Kings present?

Keen enough that they would capture even the slightest disturbance in the wind.

So much so that the moment the Gate of Cause and Effect was shaken, all the Immortal Kings sensed it.

At this moment, both the Ancient Immortal Alliance and the surviving Immortal Kings from the Seven Major Groups were momentarily stunned.

Then, their gazes almost all turned in horror towards the Gate of Cause and Effect that hung above the firmament, unchanged for over three million years, filled with disbelief in their eyes.

"The Gate of Cause and Effect... has been shaken!?"

After a long while, Taiyi Immortal King murmured to himself.

"Rumors turn out to be true, ordinary Great Daos can't shake the Gates of Cause and Effect and Destiny, which belong to the Supreme Daos. Not even a single Supreme Dao alone can shake these gates. But, if two kinds of Supreme Daos are cultivated to an exceedingly high realm, they could break the balance of the Gate of Cause and Effect. Once the perfect balance is broken, Perfection is no more, then the utter destruction of the Gate of Cause and Effect is only a matter of time."

"This is no rumor, but a result deduced by the Master of Primordial Yi with immense Computing Power! Right now, this result has simply been confirmed!"

"The Gate of Cause and Effect can be shaken, it can surely be broken, just like a monster finally showing its health bar. With us holding an absolute advantage, we can grind it down to annihilation! Once the Gate of Cause and Effect is broken, the Gate of Destiny won't stand alone for long, and how far off will its complete breach be? And once the last two Supreme Daos break... In this war between the two realms, our Chaotic Origin Realm will usher in the ultimate victory!"

At this moment, all the Immortal Kings from the Nine Major Groups were overwhelmed by uncontrollable excitement and fervor.

Hope!

For the first time, they truly saw the possibility of the Chaotic Origin Realm winning a complete victory.

Rather than like these past several hundred years, winning but not completely, with even the Nine Major Factions descending into infighting, turning the war into garbage time.

Now things were different...

The hope for victory was almost within reach.

"Yu Xiao! Stop!"

Taiyi Immortal King bellowed: "With the Gate of Cause and Effect shaken, the hope to break through this gateway is right in front of us. Once the Gate is breached, the Gate of Destiny will hardly withstand alone. When that time comes, the doom of the Ancient Immortal Realm is just a matter of time; you will be the key figure deciding the outcome of the war between two realms. Whatever you desire, we can fulfill it! Just as long as..."

"Get lost!"

With a wave of his hand, Alkaid cast a Great Void Technique directly at Taiyi Immortal King.

"Even the Four Major Factions couldn't stop it, and yet in the end, I have to clean up the mess. And now you want to split the credits that belong to me?"

With a wave of Divine Sense filled with disdain, Taiyi Immortal King, despite his best effort to block, could not avoid being struck and sent flying by the hit.

Immediately after, Alkaid turned and grasped forcefully towards the Void where Yuan Tu Immortal King was located.

The Great Void Technique, bolstered by the Great Time Technique, crushed overwhelmingly; the ceaseless power of the colling Void instantly crushed the Protective Immortal Technique and Life-saving Immortal Device which the Immortal King had conjured to protect himself.

"No! Stop! Alkaid, everything you have now is built on the premise that you have received the heritages of Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor. Once the Ancient Immortal Realm is destroyed, everything you possess will be stripped away... You naturally should stand on the side of the Ancient Immortal Realm! On the Ancient Immortal Realm's side, you are one of the three great Sovereign Ancestors, comparable to Causality Dao Ancestor and Destiny Dao Ancestor. On the side of the Chaotic Origin Realm, at best, you become the tenth Sovereign..."

Yuan Tu Immortal King's Divine Sense burst forth in full.

Yet still, he couldn't block half a bit of Alkaid's Great Void Technique strike.

Under his bewildered and unwilling gaze, his Immortal Body and soul were all crushed by the Great Void Technique.

Only the Wheel of Cause and Effect fell into Alkaid's hands.

Alkaid's grasp on Causality Dao was only a step away from Perfection, wielding the Wheel of Cause and Effect artifact, he could unleash an even greater effect than Yuan Tu Immortal King.

With a slight manipulation, the Gate of Cause and Effect trembled even more.

Nevermind the numerous Immortal Kings on the field, every creature in the Immortal Realm seemed to sense the tremors of the Gate of Cause and Effect, like a bright moon in the sky.

"The Gate of Cause and Effect is indeed meant to be sacrificed, with the key already delivered into my hands."

Alkaid, feeling the Gate of Cause and Effect within his grasp while wielding the Wheel of Cause and Effect, couldn't help but be moved with emotion.

To the Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns, the Immortal Kings of the Nine Major Factions are but pawns.

Yet to the Destiny Dao Ancestor, the dozen or so Immortal Kings of the Ancient Immortal Alliance, including Vice Alliance Hierarch Yuan Tu Immortal King, are also pawns, aren't they?

But he couldn't understand, if the Gate of Cause and Effect were to be destroyed, where would Causality Dao Ancestor be?

And what about the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor? They had clearly perished, their Daoist Ancestor authorities had already scattered and fallen into the hands of individual Immortal Kings...

Of course, now they had been reclaimed by Alkaid.

But their loss of Daoist Ancestor powers was a fact.

So, what method would they use to turn the tide?

Or could it be...

"The Destiny Dao Ancestor, unimpeded by Supreme Ancestors, is the strongest among the Three Thousand Great Daos? After all, the innate power of the Destiny Dao is to oversee and plan the operation of the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos. Without the Daoist Ancestors, isn't he the true ruler of the Three Thousand Great Daos, a sovereign equal to the will of the world, the will of the Universe, capable of mobilizing all the powers of the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Alkaid pondered thoughtfully.

While contemplating, his hands did not slow down as he continued to wield the Great Void Technique, wiping out Immortal Kings one after another.

This cruel method not only enraged Taiyi Immortal King but also sent chills through his scalp.

"Why! Why do this?"

He was filled with incomprehension.

"I figured out one possibility."

Reversal Immortal King speculated coldly in his mind: "At the moment, Yu Xiao has already demonstrated the ability to shake the Gate of Cause and Effect. Once the Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns react, they will certainly issue orders, if not descend personally, to support Alkaid as he shakes the Gate of Cause and Effect with Great Dao Resonance—until it breaks entirely. During this process, all Immortal Kings acting as protectors should be counted as contributors, and theoretically, these Contribution Values should all belong to him alone."

This Immortal King's eyes held a deep resentment: "So, he fears other Immortal Kings might share in his Contribution, which is why he's trying his utmost to eliminate all Immortal Kings. With one less Immortal King, the less he has to pay, and if successful, he could not only become the tenth Sovereign but also rank among the top of the Ten Great Sovereigns!"

"This..."

Taiyi Immortal King was completely astonished.

Even though Reversal Immortal King's speculation was somewhat hard to substantiate, aside from this possibility, they simply couldn't understand why Yu Xiao would insist on offending them, as well as the Ancient Immortal Alliance.

Without benefiting, one could not explain his actions.

And the only conflict of interest between them and Alkaid was the authority upgrade after breaching the Gate of Cause and Effect and even the Gate of Destiny.

Thus, setting aside all speculation, the remaining unlikely scenario must be the correct answer.

"He is already planning for after he becomes a Sovereign."

Reversal Immortal King's face looked especially grim: "So, what we need to do now is to find a way to hold on as long as possible until the moment Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns arrive. Once Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns arrive, no matter how crazed Yu Xiao Immortal King is, he wouldn't dare to continue his outrageous assaults on us against all reason."

Taiyi Immortal King, upon hearing this, didn't care whether this speculation was true or false.

In any case, he must defend with all his might and prioritize saving their lives.

At once, the Immortal Kings from the Creation Group, Xi Yu Group, and Twilight Group gathered together and formed a defensive formation.

"Yu Xiao has already shaken the Gate of Cause and Effect. The importance of such a disturbance outweighs even the great descent of Master of Primordial Yi to the Lower Realm. Soon, the power of Master of Primordial Yi will truly arrive..."

Taiyi Immortal King further integrated the power of all Immortal Kings with the Wuji Dao, preparing to endure until the power of Master of Primordial Yi arrived.

In reality, the response from Master of Primordial Yi did not fall outside everyone's expectations.

Almost a breath after Alkaid effortlessly vibrated the Gate of Cause and Effect with the Wheel of Cause and Effect, the light of Master of Primordial Yi's power pierced through the somber skies, shining down.

Above the firmament, the skies cleared as if the process was condensed into an incredibly brief moment, occurring swiftly.

Subsequently, the force of Master of Primordial Yi surged in, shrouding the skies and engulfing the surrounding Void of the Gate of Cause and Effect.

Under this immense force, even Alkaid had no choice but to cease slaughtering the four groups' Immortal Kings and instead turned his blade towards the other Immortal Kings of the Ancient Immortal Alliance.

And just as the power of Master of Primordial Yi cascaded down, all Immortal Kings felt as if they had survived a great disaster.

"We survived, we have survived."

"Master of Primordial Yi, the power of Master of Primordial Yi has finally arrived..."

"I feel the blessings of Master of Primordial Yi's power—that is my true strongest form!"

As Immortal Kings of the Nine Major Groups, they usually deeply despised the surveillance of Master of Primordial Yi.

Because of Master of Primordial Yi's presence, there were times when some Immortal Spirits, far less powerful than them, arrived just moments before they did, snatching the Great Dao Share right under their noses, and they could only watch helplessly, unable to kill those Immortal Spirits and claim the Great Dao Share for themselves.

Some low-ranking Immortal Spirits even had the audacity to criticize and blame them, the high-ranking Immortal Spirits.

Yet due to the so-called fairness and justice of Master of Primordial Yi, they had to endure, to swallow their grievances, sometimes even having to humbly apologize.

Thus, this time when Master of Primordial Yi's power permeated into the Lower Realm Starry Sky, reducing the surveillance on the Immortal Realm, those who genuinely intend to settle scores were almost all the True Immortals, Immortal Venerables, and Immortal Kings of the Nine Major Groups.

Those small forces' Dao Lords, True Immortals, and Immortal Venerables, without exception, sought ways to hide, living in constant fear.

But now...

When the power of Master of Primordial Yi was cast down, they had never for an instant been so eagerly anticipating and overjoyed by this scene.

Intense joy even caused them to lose emotional control.

And almost instantly, as the power of Master of Primordial Yi was cast down, a series of powerful wills followed suit, rolling in.

As these wills and the power of Master of Primordial Yi descended together, the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Ancient Immortal Realm seemed to make way for them.

The power of the Great Daos receded, replaced by an entirely different system of power.

A system...

Completely constructed of "Spirituality"!

The Nine Great Sovereigns, descends!
