Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 540 - 527 Dao Venerable
"What!?"
Penglai Dao Lord's face was filled with shock as she looked at the scene before her.
And those Dao Lords who were watching the battle in this area through various means were instantly dumbfounded.
Everyone, including the Dao Lords from the side of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, felt as if their thought processes had come to a halt at this moment.
What had happened?
What happened to the great battle between the two invincible Dao Lords and the fourteen Great Demons of the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals that was agreed upon?
What happened to the battle that was supposed to signal the direction of the situation on Northern Sea Star?
It was over before it even began?
The Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, a full fourteen Demon Saints!
So many Demon Saints, just gone like that?
Was this some kind of performance by the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals to ease the tense atmosphere on Northern Sea Star lately, a grand transformation act to entertain everyone?
What a joke!?
The Destruction Divine Venerable and other Divine Venerables, who had emerged in full force and left the Divine Nation's territory, involuntarily stopped their advance toward the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals.
Each of the Divine Venerables' faces were filled with shock, dismay, and disbelief.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Fourteen Demon Saints, just vanished like that!?"
"It's an illusion! Definitely an illusion! You can't scare me!"
"Traversing Secret Technique! This must be some kind of Traversing Technique! Using the means of the Great Void Path to directly transfer the fourteen Demon Saints to some other realm or starry sky, away from the battlefield! It must be!"
All sorts of Divine Senses continuously dispersed from the Divine Venerables of the Divine Race.
Even esteemed Divine Venerables, powerful as those who have Integrated Dao, found it difficult to accept the reality unfolding before their eyes in such a paradigm-shifting scene.
Fortunately, although the scene before them had the Divine Venerables feeling dizzy and disoriented, with a sense of the world turning upside down and an apocalyptic collapse, but...
Some Divine Venerables quickly came to their senses and recovered their rationale.
Whether Alkaid had suppressed those fourteen Demon Saints or used some Traversing Secret Technique, heavenly materials, precious treasures, or Dao Venerable Talismans to temporarily move the Demon Saints away, the reality that now lay before all of the Divine Race was a startling crisis.
If Alkaid really did go to great lengths to move those Demon Saints, what he truly aimed to deal with...
"Go! Return to the Divine Nation!"
"Quick! Get back to the territory of the Divine Nation and link the power of the Divine Nation into one! As long as we stand in the Divine Nation, we stand on invincible grounds!"
Slaughter Divine Venerable and Destruction Divine Venerable simultaneously shook their Divine Senses, turning back without hesitation.
The other Divine Venerables also came to their senses, filled with a chilling realization, and wished they could return to the Divine Nation as swiftly as possible.
...
Above the territory of the Taotie Demon Saint, Penglai Dao Lord watched as Alkaid truly suppressed the fourteen Demon Saints with an "Immortal Artifact" and her eyes brimmed with uncontrollable astonishment.
"How did you do this?"
She couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Merely relying on the advantage of the Immortal Artifact,"
said Alkaid, as he pressed down with an empty hand and the Great Dao Tower trembled.
Inside the Great Dao Tower, those Demon Saints who were still conscious were all subjected to attacks similar to the Great Annihilation Technique and the Great Extinction Technique—terrifying assaults only second to Origin Dao Technique level.
Their powerful demon bodies were rapidly eroded and destroyed.
For this, Alkaid didn't even need to act personally; he only needed to maintain control over the Great Dao Tower and naturally, all the Demon Saints inside would be refined, a matter of only how much time it would take.
"However, now is not the time to discuss this treasure. The lure-the-snake-out-of-the-hole plan went quite smoothly; next... it's time to take advantage while they are away from the Divine Nation and catch all these Divine Race members who think they can lay in wait for us."
Alkaid declared.
Penglai Dao Lord, despite having many questions, understood the urgency of the matter and nodded in agreement.
Allowing Alkaid to lead, they performed several Void Blinks, crossing over half of the Northern Sea Star and intercepted the eight Divine Venerables of the Divine Race who were in a hurry to flee.
"You go to the location of the Divine Nation to prevent their return, leave these people to me."
"Can you handle it alone?"
"Treat someone who has been away for three days with fresh eyes, much less three hundred years."
"Alright then."
Penglai Dao Lord nodded.
The phrase on the tip of her tongue was that "geniuses" cannot be measured by common standards.
Moreover, besides being very clear about this principle, she knew much more than other Dao Lords on Northern Sea Star.
Thus, she did not hesitate to place full trust in Alkaid's words, sweeping her Human Emperor Sword across, the Void trembled, and she traversed through it, obstructing the retreat path of the eight Divine Venerables of the Divine Race.
"Alkaid! Penglai!"
The intercepted Destruction Divine Venerable also let out a low shout: "Since he used a secret technique to transfer the Demon Saints of the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, it shows that he is not confident enough to defeat so many Divine Venerables and Demon Saints. We are now within an arm's reach of the Divine Nation. Let's fight and retreat back to the Divine Nation. Once we reach the Divine Nation, he can no longer touch us, not even a little bit!"
"Yes!"
"Retreat to the Divine Realm!"
The remaining Divine Venerables also stimulated their Divine Senses, invoking the Great Dao.
They all understood, given the presence of this invincible Dao Lord, everyone had reached a moment of life and death.
Compared to the Divine Venerables of the Divine Race who were gearing up for a tough battle, Alkaid, however, was calm and composed.
"Is there a possibility that I am not incapable of defeating you, but rather... I'm concerned that you may scatter and escape in all directions, which would make it troublesome to hunt you down one by one, so I deliberately let you gather together to prepare."
He took a step forward.
With a slight wave of his hand, the Great Void Path violently shook.
The enormous Void Force that far surpassed what any ordinary Dao Lord could marshal was drawn upon by his will, gathered in an instant, naturally and swiftly forming a Great Void Technique, which he hurled at a slower-moving Divine Venerable.
Under the Great Void Technique, the space around this Divine Venerable seemed to solidify and collapse.
Despite exerting all his power to unleash his secret technique and bring his speed to the extreme, not only did he fail to escape from that region of solidification and collapse, but he also found himself drawing ever closer to the core area, until at last, he could only watch wide-eyed as the solidified Void suddenly shattered and annihilated, grinding everything within, matter and life alike, into nothingness.
"Immortal Technique!"
The Destruction Divine Venerable let out a cry of horror.
Immortal Technique!
Not that big of a deal.
A Dao Venerable legacy, who didn't have one or two trump cards capable of executing an attack on the Immortal Technique Level?
Even some powerful Dao Lords, if they obtained some top-notch natural treasures, could transform them into a single strike of Immortal Technique Level.
But the problem is...
Just now, Alkaid executed the Great Void Technique without using a Void Talisman, nor with the aid of any natural treasures that could serve as materials for an Immortal Artifact!
He had leveraged the Power of the Great Void Path by his own power to unleash that Great Void Technique!
This method...
He had only read about it in the oldest records of the Divine Race!
Ancestor Divine!
The Last Ancestor Divine! The Prime Origin Ancestor Divine!
It was said that these two beings, on the same level as the Human Race Dao Venerable, could achieve the feat of unleashing a destructive Immortal Technique, using solely their own realm and strength, without relying on any external forces.
And now, Alkaid's actions and Divine Skills had seemingly reached a level comparable to that of an Ancestor Divine!?

Which would mean...
"Dao Venerable!?"
"Boom rumble!"
The Great Void Path was once again mobilized.
Only a breath after killing a Divine Venerable, the second Great Void Technique was already taking shape.
The interval...
Was too short, so short that even the Destruction Divine Venerable felt a terrifying sense of imminent disaster, of impending death.
"Immortal Technique!"
In the distance, viewing this scene as she headed towards the Divine Realm to assist Alkaid in intercepting the frantically fleeing Divine Venerables, Penglai Isle shone with keen interest in her eyes.
"I knew it!"
With a smile on her lips, she said, "I knew that you were one of us."
In that moment, her mood once again became relaxed and joyful.
Just as carefree and content as she was when she first publicly discussed the front half of the "Immortal Legacy" with Alkaid.
...
Under the Great Void Technique, the many Divine Venerables of the Divine Race had absolutely no power to resist.
Even though each Divine Venerable possessed various life-saving items, under the Immortal Technique that contained almost ten different kinds of Dao Technique variations, plugging all the flaws and defects, these life-saving items were utterly useless.
Void Essence, capable of ignoring void blockades to traverse millions of miles?
Space-Tearing Talismans, allowing one to extricate themselves from any Formation?
Life-Sacrificing Puppets, able to redirect lethal attacks onto the puppets themselves?
No use!
All useless.
The spatial disturbances caused by the Great Void Technique, a technique of the Origin Dao, were far more terrifying than the sheer Void Essence; the Void continuously contracting and solidifying could not be compared with any Void Formation.
Moreover, the Great Void Technique appeared to annihilate a small region of space, but in reality, it compressed a vast area and then destroyed it all at once.
Not to mention, as one of the Supreme Dao, the Great Void Path is the foundation that carries all other Dao.
Some Dao Lords who have sufficiently mastered the Great Void Path can even strip away the "existence" foundation of other Dao, preventing them from manifesting in the world.
This battle was less a battle than a massacre.
One side chased, the other fled.
Once caught up, inescapable death awaited in this desperate pursuit.
"Stop! Alkaid Dao Lord, please stop!"
Seeing that three great Divine Venerables of their side had fallen in the blink of an eye, the leading Destruction Divine Venerable finally could not sit idly by.
He rapidly sent out his Divine Sense, begging for mercy: "Our Ten Directions Divine Race holds no grudge against you, Alkaid Dao Lord. All our conflicts arose due to Light's unauthorized decisions, leading our relationship to this point. We are willing to surrender Light to you, Alkaid Dao Lord, for you to deal with as you see fit, and will make reparations to you afterwards. Please, in light of us all being native Dao Lords of the Northern Sea Star, spare us this once."
Light Divine Venerable, equally fleeing in panic, listened to these words with bitterness in his eyes.
Yet he understood that the Destruction Divine Venerable had no choice but to make this decision.
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Alkaid, capable of wiping out all their Divine Venerables, sacrificing just him to save the others was the only way for the Divine Race to continue their existence on the Northern Sea Star.
"Every debt has its debtor!"
Light Divine Venerable took a deep breath, and at this moment also stood forward, declaring with a resolute spirit, "All this disaster was initiated by me, I, Light, am willing to bear the responsibility alone! Alkaid, here I am, ready to offer my neck for your justice, for you to dispose of as you will!"
