Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 439 425: Wholehearted
Seven Shattered Void!
Seven Shattered Void Realm Supreme Demon Lords from the Yin Moon Sect!
All dead!
If such an event were to occur in the Heavenly Dao Sect, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to annihilating half of the Supreme Elders.
For a moment, Gu Li, the Supreme Elder, couldn't help but shiver.
Even though Alkaid right now was merely utilizing a formation to project a Divine Sense, it still gave him an indescribable sense of dread.
Zhen Xuanyuan was not faring much better either.
Although his fear did not make his heart tremble, he did get a true understanding of just how powerful Alkaid was.
Seven Supreme Demon Lords of the Yin Moon Sect!
"No! Not right! Not seven Supreme Demon Lords!"
At this moment, Supreme Elder Chi Yun suddenly exclaimed.
Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li quickly thought of something.
If one included the previous Demon Lords of Eight Desolates and Hei Tian who died at the hands of Alkaid, the Shattered Void demon cultivators he had killed...
Had already reached a total of nine!?
For a time, the three Supreme Elders from the Heavenly Dao Sect looked at Alkaid in shock.
What kind of killing star was this!?
If one also included Jing Yuntian, and...
who knows who else the True Monarch Bu Zhou fell to, Alkaid, who hasn't been in the Northern Sea Star for less than a hundred years, had already slain as many as eleven Shattered Void Realm Supreme Elders!
Eleven!
The Four Great Immortal Dynasties, the Three Immortal Martial Sects, and those sects might not even have a total of eleven Shattered Void together, right?
Was this equivalent to slaughtering to near extinction the Shattered Void layer of these forces?
Equivalent to the obliteration of a top Dao lineage, excluding Dao Lords!?
Demon Lords of the Yin Moon Sect?
Who is the true Demon Lord then!?
"I've summoned the three of you here to inform you of this matter, I've avenged True Monarch Bu Zhou, and now, whether to escalate the war with the Yin Moon Sect, or even to report to Jun Tian Dao Lord and launch a sect-exterminating war against the Yin Moon Sect, that is for you to discuss. Once you have made a decision, let me know..."
Alkaid said.
"No no no, there is no need for a war of extermination, the strife for the Dao is approaching, and at this time, Dao Lords would not easily wage full-scale war against the Yin Moon Sect, even if a war is to be fought, it would be after the Dao strife."
Zhen Xuanyuan hurriedly said.
Alkaid listened and nodded.
The period before the Gate of the Immortal Realm opens, the period it is open, and the period after it closes—this span of over a thousand years has always been the most chaotic time in the Northern Sea Star.
Many top Dao lineages will be directly wiped out or dissolved during this great turmoil.
Similarly, new Dao lineages will be born on the Northern Sea Star, dividing amongst themselves the territories of those that have been extinguished or dissolved.
To obliterate the Yin Moon Sect...
It mostly depends on this period of time.
If Jun Tian Dao Lord succeeds in the Dao struggle and steps into the Gate of the Immortal Realm, or unfortunately falls...
The Heavenly Dao Sect will immediately take a strategic withdrawal.
Relying on the Great Dao Golden Book to defend the Heavenly Dao Sect, even if the Yin Moon Sect and surrounding forces are weakened, they would not expand a bit.
If the Hei Tian Demon Venerable of the Yin Moon Sect enters the Immortal Realm or dies in the Dao struggle, the Yin Moon Sect can be declared extinct.
Of course, if both Jun Tian Dao Lord and Hei Tian Demon Venerable fail to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm and both manage to survive...
Whether the two great sects can go to war next depends on the attitude of the Dao Lords.
But whatever the outcome, neither the Sect Leader nor the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect have the authority to launch a war of extermination against another power.
"Then let it be so."
Alkaid said, "Spread the word about this matter, to boost the morale of our Heavenly Dao Sect. Also, this will reduce resistance when I next consume the sixteen states of the Yin Moon Sect in the Southern Region. I'll leave these matters to the three Supreme Elders."
"We'll make the announcement right away," Zhen Xuanyuan immediately said.
As long as Alkaid wasn't forcefully pushing the Heavenly Dao Sect into war with the Yin Moon Sect, everything was negotiable.
"Do we need to provide assistance in the annexation of the Yin Moon Sect's sixteen states in the Southern Region?"
"You each just need to send some forces to show support. Leave the matters of war to the Southern Region, which has been rapidly developing in recent years, growing stronger by the day. Besides, with the Yin Moon Sect's Shattered Void, Refining Void, and even Hollow Void all hunkering down at their Sect headquarters and hardly any formidable experts left in the various states, relying on the power of the Southern Region, absorbing these sixteen states isn't difficult," Alkaid instructed.
"Then we'll do as Sect Leader Alkaid says," the Supreme Elders agreed in unison.
"Gentlemen, go prepare, the annexation battle will officially begin in three months," Alkaid issued the order and left directly.
The Supreme Elders nodded to one another.
Even though Alkaid was currently only the Vice Sect Leader, his status was technically a notch below these Supreme Elders, but the authoritative tone he used—a tone even Sect Leaders would hesitate to employ—felt completely appropriate to them.
The nature of the Northern Sea Star is that the strong rule over the weak.
The commands of the powerful to the weak are the righteous order of the heavens and the earth.
Those who do not acknowledge this principle, or fail to see the situation clearly...
Their bodies are already cold.
Jing Yuntian and Bu Zhou are prime examples.
Those who have survived are the obedient ones. Hence, the commands of Vice Sect Leader Alkaid are naturally followed with absolute compliance.
...
In the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Seeing Alkaid's projection dissipate, Zhen Xuanyuan, Chi Yun, and Gu Li, the three Shattered Void Supreme Elders, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
None of them had expected that merely facing the projection of another person from the Shattered Void Realm would bring such immense pressure.
At this moment, as if he had received some message, Zhen Xuanyuan quickly took out his communication Jade Talisman. After just a brief perception, he couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "The Yin Moon Sect... has gone into seclusion!?"
"Gone into seclusion!?"
Chi Yun, the Supreme Elder, was slightly stunned and quickly used his communication Jade Talisman to contact his undercover agent positioned within the Yin Moon Sect.
It didn't take long before he had a definitive answer and he exclaimed in shock, "They've really gone into seclusion!?"
He raised his head in astonishment, looking at Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li, "The Yin Moon Sect, one of the Six Sects of the Demonic Dao, has been forced into seclusion by Alkaid, relying on his own strength!?"
Zhen Xuanyuan felt a surge of absurdity and disbelief.
But considering that over the past few decades, Alkaid had first slaughtered the Demon Lords of Darkness and Eight Desolates, and now had barged into the Yin Moon Sect, causing chaos, killing as many as seven Shattered Void Demon Lords...
Shattered Void, nine of them dead, just like that.
Such a massive loss made it seem reasonable for the Yin Moon Sect to be forced into choosing seclusion...
Realizing this, Zhen Xuanyuan stood still on the spot, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
And Gu Li...
Was the first to send a message to the disciple who was preparing gifts to take to the Southern Region.
No, this won't do!
The gifts were too light and did not represent the sincerity of his apology.
The value of the gifts needed to be increased.
At that time, Zhen Xuanyuan, who had just calmed down, looked again at Gu Li, "So… Alkaid truly possesses the ability to contend against Supreme Jing Hong!?"
"Yes."
Gu Li let out a bitter laugh, "I already told you when I returned, Sect Leader Alkaid indeed fought a battle with Supreme Jing Hong, and it seems that using regular methods, Supreme Jing Hong wasn't assured of defeating Sect Leader Alkaid without both sides suffering losses… At that time, he didn't want to continue fighting… Seeing the situation turning sour, I left in a hurry, and as soon as I returned, I immediately prepared gifts to apologize to this contender for the Dao Lord ranks. But who would have thought... in such a short time, he's managed to achieve such a feat."
Zhen Xuanyuan heard this and let out a long breath.
Although he had realized from the last battle that Alkaid's strength had surpassed ordinary expectations, reaching a level comparable to that of the contenders for the Dao Lord ranks.
But, with thirty-six places on the Dao Lord contender list, there are strong and weak individuals on that list, and their cultivation varies—the Supreme Jing Hong Dao Lord is listed among the top ten...
Undoubtedly, he belongs to the very top tier of Dao Lords.
So he thought Alkaid, no matter how strong, was ultimately newly ascended to the Shattered Void and could not possibly be strong enough to match the True Monarch Jing Hong.
But now...
"Even Supreme Jing Hong can't accomplish the feat of invading the Yin Moon Sect alone and slaying seven Shattered Void demon masters."
At this time, Supreme Elder Chi Yun couldn't help but interject.
It's not that he can't kill seven Shattered Void.
A contender for the Dao Lord ranks could, if not surrounded by several or even a dozen Shattered Void, easily wear them down one by one through strategic distancing.
But...
Shattered Void aren't fools.
If they sense they can't overpower the opponent, they will flee, they will call for reinforcements.
Especially on the Yin Moon Sect's territory, those who are adept at survival only need to hold on for a moment, and other Demon Lords will soon come to their aid via the Transmission Formation.
Moreover, a contender on the Dao Lord list can almost manage to fight ten ordinary Shattered Void, but when facing someone like Zhen Xuanyuan, a peak Dao Lord, a few of them together can still pin him down.
In such circumstances, even the powerful True Monarch Jing Hong, after invading the Yin Moon Sect and killing one or two unprepared Demon Lords, would also need to retreat quickly.
Otherwise, once surrounded, there would be a danger of falling.
For Alkaid to kill seven Demon Lords in one fell swoop...
"Don't forget, Sect Leader Alkaid's lifebound Daoist art is Void Blink!"
Gu Li said gravely, "Others facing True Monarch Jing Hong might escape if they can't win, or depend on life-saving means to survive until other Demon Lords come to aid if they're lucky. But before Sect Leader Alkaid's Void Blink... if they can't win, there's pretty much only death awaiting them."
After saying that, he added, "Especially since Sect Leader Alkaid also has the Heaven-Sealing Stele, a powerful Dao Artifact, the force it exerts to suppress the Void makes it impossible for those Demon Lords to escape."
Zhen Xuanyuan and Supreme Elder Chi Yun, hearing him say this...
Each felt a chill in their hearts.
It really was the case.
Facing Alkaid, who had honed Void Blink into his lifebound Daoist art...
In a certain sense, he was even more fearsome than facing True Monarch Jing Hong.
"The Yin Moon Sect has lost seven Shattered Void Demon Lords and has been forced into seclusion, not venturing out... The last time someone achieved such a feat, it was the Penglai Dao Lord from the Penglai Immortal Sect..."
Chi Yun, the Supreme Elder, took a deep breath, "When Sect Leader Alkaid dealt with the Yin Moon Sect, the Integrating Dao Demon Lord was not present, so it can't be compared to the Penglai Dao Lord overpowering the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion. But... publicizing this achievement, I truly wonder what rank Sect Leader Alkaid will hold on the Dao Lord contender list."

Zhen Xuanyuan nodded slightly.
But...
No matter the rank, having two Shattered Void ranked on the Dao Lord contender list is an honor only the Three Pure Sanctuaries could boast. It was enough to make the name of the Heavenly Dao Sect known across the world.
"Alright, we must not delay this matter any further; let's send out the news right away. That way, when Sect Leader Zong returns... the power transition within the sect can proceed smoothly, without any ripples."
Supreme Elder Chi Yun said.
Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li knew he intended to quickly build prestige for Alkaid, creating the established fact that Alkaid already ruled the Heavenly Dao Sect.
However, neither of them had the slightest intention to stop him.
On one hand, they couldn't stop him.
On the other hand...
Having someone with strength and ability like Alkaid as the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect was indeed more beneficial for the sect's development than keeping Zong Wenxian, who only knew how to suppress other Vice Sect Leaders to maintain his own position.
