Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 549 - 536: Righteous and Demonic

Kill without discussion!

A murderously charged sentence issued from Alkaid's lips, yet no one dared to underestimate it in the slightest.

A Dao Venerable recognized by everyone.

Coming from a top powerhouse who, not long ago, annihilated the Demon Race, swept away the Divine Race, crushed the Demonic Path, and killed over thirty Integrating Dao experts, no one dared ignore his words.

But…

"Dao Venerable, please reconsider."

Jun Tian Dao Lord couldn't help but speak, "If you truly do this, you may provoke the enmity of all Dao Lords within the Northern Sea Star. Although a group of Dao Lords has left the Northern Sea Star, there are still well over a hundred remaining. If they call upon those who have already left but are not yet far away, the scale of their alliance could exceed two hundred! While it's true that past Dao Venerables were known to take on a hundred alone, the frenzied wrath of two to three hundred desperate Dao Lords… I'm afraid that's not a burden anyone can easily bear."

"Indeed."

Emperor Hui Dao Lord also slightly nodded.

Although after Alkaid expelled all Dao Lords, they wouldn't have to worry about the risk of Dao conflicts during their own ascension, they also couldn't let all the animosity accumulate on Alkaid alone.

"Even if you, Venerable Alkaid, manage to force those Dao Lords to back down with your own imposing power, once you ascend… everything you leave behind will face the frenzied retaliation of these Dao Lords. Therefore, please consider your decision carefully, Dao Venerable."

He said, giving a formal bow as a reminder.

The other Dao Lords, although inwardly hoping for Alkaid to expel all other Dao Lords so they could monopolize the ascension slots, also had to admit, "This approach bears enormous hidden dangers, it's practically standing against all other Dao Lords."

"The Venerable needs to be more cautious. Two hundred, or even two to three hundred Dao Lords… what an immense force that is, an unstoppable one."

Several Dao Lords advised insincerely.

Alkaid heard these words but didn't take them to heart, "Since ancient times, the one identified as Dao Venerable is so named because he can dominate the age, suppress all dissenting voices. It is precisely because they demonstrate this ruling-level strength that the title of Dao Venerable is acknowledged by all. If someone still ignores my command and wishes to contend against me to the end, then it only proves… my Dao Venerable title isn't well established. In that case…"

He spoke calmly, "let's see if I truly possess the strength to dominate this era and suppress all rebellious wills."

Emperor Hui Dao Lord wanted to say something more, but Alkaid had already waved his hand, "My mind is made up, there's no need for further words."

The Dao Lords of the Ten Great Immortal Paths exchanged glances.

In the end, Jun Tian Dao Lord said, "It's true that upon the Northern Sea Star and the periphery of the starry sky, there remain a hundred, maybe even two hundred Dao Lords. However, the strength of our Human Race is not to be underestimated either; together, we number over twenty Dao Lords. If we fight to the death, we could tie down forty or fifty Dao Lords for Venerable Alkaid, and the rest…"

His expression grave, he continued, "The remaining Dao Lords are numerous, yet they are not completely united. After all, there are only about thirty or so who can ultimately ascend. Once the losses become severe, they may not continue the battle. Hence, we still have hope."

Emperor Hui Dao Lord nodded slightly too, "To gain the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm, the strife of the Dao is inevitable. Let this conflict led by Venerable Alkaid, joined by the strength of over twenty of us Dao Lords against the rest, serve as the ultimate final battle of this cycle's Dao struggle."

The Dao Lords of the Ten Great Immortal Paths nodded in agreement.

The Dao Lords from the Four Great Immortal Dynasties and the Three Immortal Martial Sects silently contemplated for a moment and also had to admit that Emperor Hui Dao Lord made sense.

Dao struggles have always been brutal.

Life and death are not for one to decide.

No one can guarantee during the Dao struggle that they will not fall, that they will definitely attain the slot to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

At present, their side, although not numerous, united under the lead of Venerable Alkaid, could face those hastily united one to two hundred Dao Lords…

They could possibly fight it out.

Of course, the key to this battle lay with Alkaid.

If he could show overwhelming might and directly crush the first wave of attack from a hundred, perhaps even two hundred Dao Lords, breaking their morale, victory was almost within reach.

But if Alkaid found himself in a tight spot as soon as the battle began…

Well, it would be wise to pack up before the battle starts and, if things go awry, immediately abandon the foundations on the Northern Sea Star and flee into the Universe's starry sky.

…

Everyone has their own view.

Every individual fosters different thoughts.

Alkaid never pinned his hopes on these Dao Lords.

He merely used these Dao Lords to convey his will.

As for the reactions of those Dao Lords afterward…

Upon receiving the news circulated by the Ten Great Immortal Paths, the Four Great Immortal Dynasties, and the Three Immortal Martial Sects, all the Dao Lords on the Northern Sea Star were astir.

Although many Dao Lords had already guessed that the emergence of a Dao Venerable level existence on the Northern Sea Star would have a huge impact on this cycle's Dao struggle, they never imagined the impact would come so intensely.

That Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, was actually directly ordering everyone to leave the Northern Sea Star!?

Even if they were asked by Alkaid to exchange a certain quota of materials for the slots to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm, they had planned to endure and comply honestly. But now…

He was flat-out denying them any opportunity!?

To leave, all of them!

Or else, kill without discussion!

This kind of domineering, brute force approach, treating the Gate to the Immortal Realm of the Northern Sea Star as personal property, ignoring the hundreds of Dao Lords, instantly infuriated the remaining Dao Lords.

Powerful Divine Senses began to swiftly surge through each corner of the Northern Sea Star.

All the Dao Lords communicated with righteous indignation, wishing to unite to pressure Alkaid.

Some Dao Lords who had ties with the Ten Great Immortal Paths quickly contacted their peers within these paths to inquire about Alkaid's specific stance.

When they learned that Alkaid wasn't using this attitude to pressure others into achieving a certain objective, but truly intended to exile all Dao Lords from Northern Sea Star, these Dao Lords could no longer contain themselves.

They quickly communicated Alkaid's resolute stance to the other Dao Lords.

This completely eradicated the last traces of wishful thinking in their hearts.

Even though they were utterly unwilling to make an enemy of Alkaid, the Dao Venerable who had just vanquished the demon, demonic, and divine forces, the matter of ascension forced them to unite. They quickly formed a large alliance—the No Light Alliance—to oppose Alkaid's tyranny.

Those Dao Lords whose hearts were truly unsettled and anxious had already feared Alkaid's renown and retreated in advance when the three great forces were destroyed. The remaining Dao Lords, for the most part, had already reached a certain level of ideological awakening.

Moreover, those who dared to participate in the Dao competition had, more or less, mentally prepared themselves to fight to the death for a chance at ascension.

In such circumstances, less than a month after the formation of the No Light Alliance, the number of Dao Lords skyrocketed to more than 120.

Especially when those Dao Lords who had originally left from the Extraterritorial Starry Sky saw an opportunity to exploit and returned to the Northern Sea, the number of Dao Lords in the No Light Alliance grew to a staggering 160.

The leaders amongst them were all illustrious figures among the Dao Lords.

The one who assumed the role of Alliance Hierarch came from the depths of the Universe starry sky and was rumored to have once opposed the Eternal Gate—Enemy the Witch, who cultivated the Great Path of Destruction.

A month's time was neither long nor short.

When the appointed day finally arrived, more than 160 Dao Lords gathered in the starry sky.

They did not choose to battle on the Northern Sea Star because such a large-scale confrontation could potentially collapse the star, especially since it was held down by the Gate of the Immortal Realm and wasn't protected by a Sixteen Level Immortal Array.

Of the more than 160 Dao Lords, in reality, not many were ready to strike immediately, but there were still over 60 of them.

Moreover, these 60 some had practiced a Combined Attack Formation through certain secret treasures, enhancing the combat power they could exert by yet another level.

This was also the confidence they had to stand against Alkaid, who was suspected to be of the Venerable Dao Level.

Over a hundred Dao Lords prepared for battle, but within the Northern Sea Star at the Heavenly Dao Sect...

Alkaid's face was calm.

He examined one top Dao Artifact after another.

Creation, Chaos, Five Elements, Truth, Yin Yang, Mind, Illusion, Oath, Darkness, Slaughter, Order...

The market had a dozen or more common types of Great Daos, all represented here.

These were artifacts he had refined during his return trip from the Sun and Star Sect to the Northern Sea Star.

With his Nineteen Level Artifact Refining skills and hundreds of Immortal Artifact materials obtained from selling Sun and Star Sect Immortal Realm ascension slots, refining Dao Artifacts was naturally a breeze for him.

"Evil Path."

Alkaid muttered to himself.

To put it more seriously, it should be called the Demonic Path.

But...

Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures.

The war between the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm had in fact already failed.

If not for the nine conglomerates fighting for power, going as far as to stir up internal strife within a small scope, the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Ancient Immortal Realm would have been devoured.

Every living being and all things in the Ancient Immortal Realm were constructed from the Three Thousand Great Daos; once devoured, everything would dissipate into nothingness.

Therefore, even if it meant resorting to the Demonic or Extreme Path, he had no choice but to act.

Benevolence does not lead troops!

In the conflict between two realms, determining life and death, one must completely discard any pretense of kindness and righteousness.

It's not as if during wartime, when a decisive victory looms ahead, a general leading the national reinforcements, being a person of high moral standards, would consider this area as farmland that cannot be destroyed—opting for a detour, or that area where the herdsmen's flocks must not be disturbed—another detour, or a place where people are marrying—yet another detour, or a queue at a checkpoint where everyone must wait their turn—oh, this general would likewise politely queue with his troops.

Were it really handled that way, by the time the army reached the battlefield, the enemy would have already broken through their capital and vanquished their nation.

So...

One must weigh the pros and cons.

Alkaid was very clear about what he needed to do next.

And he would do it without regret or resentment, to see it through.

"Dao Lord."

At this moment, the figure of Jun Tian Dao Lord appeared outside Abandoned Heaven Valley, his expression grave as he said, "Based on the information we have received, the No Light Alliance now totals 166 Dao Lords who have completed assembly. They are all on full alert in the starry sky, and what's more, Enemy the Witch has gathered 60 Dao Lords and used a Time treasure to turn ten days into ten years. They've trained a Combined Attack Formation known as the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation, said to be a top-tier formation passed down from the Eternal Gate!"

"Are the people assembled?"

Alkaid asked.

He brushed past the latter half of Jun Tian Dao Lord's report with an unruffled reply, "Then let's go."
