Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 436 : April 22nd

"I've just maxed out another skill at the last moment,"

In the Void, a flying boat was speeding towards the residence of a Demon Lord.

This flying boat was obtained after slaying the Demon Lord of the Sky Prison.

A flying vessel of the Void category.

Performance...

Not that great.

Just an ordinary Dao Artifact.

If put up for auction, the price would range between 1.2 to 1.4 billion.

To Alkaid, with the Limitless Sword and the Two Realms Ruler in possession, using Void Blink was faster than traveling with a flying boat.

However, activating both Dao Artifacts at the same time and using Void Blink to its fullest was too draining, even for him, who had reached the Shattered Void Realm and possessed the title of the Supreme Human Emperor.

Considering the upcoming battles would likely be tough nuts to crack, he still needed to quickly recover from the high-intensity operation of his Cave Heaven to return to his optimal state.

While contemplating, he glanced at the freshly upgraded to fifteen level 100% "Demon Hunter" branch.

Compared to Origin Tracing and Hunting Instinct, the Divine Skill granted by the Dao Fruit at level fifteen was somewhat lackluster.

"Top-tier Predator."

After perceiving this Innate Divine Ability, Alkaid sighed, "With the pressure of a top-tier predator, I can intimidate weaker beings into submission, with a certain chance... But it's only effective against those weaker than me, what's the use of that?"

Shaking his head, he withdrew his focus from this Innate Divine Ability.

That such a Divine Skill was offered at level fifteen was a bit disappointing.

But the multitude of Innate Divine Abilities obtained over the years also told him that not every talent significantly improved his fighting prowess.

For example, low-level talents like Perception and Formless that he obtained at the beginning are now utterly useless.

"There are still some left, next..."

Alkaid's gaze shifted towards the "Businessman" and "Alchemy" talents.

Considering that Alchemy typically required a significant investment of time, he put the remaining "experience" into the "Businessman" talent to see if it could undergo a qualitative change.

After all, since stepping into the territory of the Yin Moon Sect, he had slain five and one more Shattered Void Cultivators, acquiring no fewer than ten complete Dao Artifacts, and he also had more than ten damaged Dao Artifacts, all of which could be considered enormous wealth.

If the "Businessman" profession could become somewhat more mystical...

"I really shouldn't have had too high a hope."

After digesting the information of the "Businessman" branch now at level thirteen, Alkaid made a somewhat helpless comment.

The talents provided by the Businessman...

Were indeed related to a businessman.

For instance, improving one's persuasive charm, increasing others' trust in oneself, and having a more precise ability to assess value.

The only talent that could barely be considered useful was called Businessman's Intuition—being able to roughly judge the value of an item or material never seen before.

This at least prevented him from missing some precious treasures when "treasure hunting."

But then again, treasures naturally have various mystic properties, and once those treasures truly revealed their mysteries, he wouldn't likely miss them.

It was still a lackluster ability.

As he contemplated, Alkaid had arrived at a sect established atop a mountain range.

He compared his memories and confirmed that the ruler of this sect was named the Curse Mark Demon Lord, and this sect was called the Heaven's Curse Sect.

In the Yin Moon Sect, there were many small strongholds like this one.

It seemed that they had received prior warning; all the cultivators in the Heaven's Curse Sect were fully alert, and the array cloaking the sky above had been completely activated.

Alkaid took a quick look and realized that this Formation was not much inferior to the unchanged Capital Dragon Slaying Formation of years past.

If maintained by a Shattered Void...

Three to five Shattered Void Cultivators would be trapped within, struggling to escape for a while.

Even top fighters from the Dao Lord candidate list would have to put in considerable effort to destroy such a Thirteen Level Formation if operated by a Shattered Void.

And this was the territory of the Yin Moon Sect.

If he couldn't breach this Formation quickly, other adept fighters of the Sect would inevitably rush to reinforce via Transmission Formation, and then he would face the encirclement of all the powerful members of the Yin Moon Sect.

However...

After observing the Formation for a moment, Alkaid quickly noticed something, and with a slight smile, he said, "Not bad, a turtle shell. Since the Sect Protection Array has been activated, I suspect you won't be leaving any time soon."

He marked down the location of the Heaven's Curse Sect.

Then, with a flash, he rushed towards the next Shattered Void Supreme, Golden Nih Lion Demon Lord's territory.

En route to the Golden Nih Lion Demon Lord's domain, his mind constantly searched for a way to breach the Heaven's Curse Sect's Sect Protection Array.

In just a moment...

"I've found it," Alkaid mused silently.

However...

"It's a bit troublesome, with my strength and tricks, it's a bit difficult to break this Formation in a short time..."

If he couldn't break the Formation, the next best thing was to interfere with its operation.

He would first infiltrate the Formation, destroy the Transmission Formation connecting to the Yin Moon Sect to prevent an encirclement, and then deal with the Curse Mark Demon Lord.

"Let's see if I can find the next Demon Lord; if not, the Curse Mark Demon Lord will be the last Shattered Void Demon Cultivator I can kill. If I keep going like this... the Yin Moon Sect will definitely go mad! It would be troublesome if they call back Hei Tian Demon Venerable ahead of schedule," he thought.

In no time, the flying boat he was on reached a city.

However, in contrast to the Heaven's Curse Sect, the city was nearly deserted.

Despite a considerable number of remaining demon cultivators, there wasn't even a single true Hollow Void, only a few Hollow Void War Immortals.

"Hm? I can't sense a Transmission Formation within this city? The lord of the city is the Golden Nih Lion Demon Lord, a Shattered Void who rose within the last millennium... Ah, I see, the last time Hei Tian Demon Venerable returned was two thousand six hundred years ago, and back then, he hadn't reached the Shattered Void. The Demon Venerable wouldn't have arranged a Transmission Formation for him in advance, in which case..."

Alkaid's gaze swept over several Hollow Void War Immortals before his figure flashed, arriving instantly beside one of the War Immortals.

Seeing Alkaid suddenly appearing beside him, a hint of despair flashed through the War Immortal's eyes, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something…

But the next second, his body was directly pulverized, and a strand of Heavenly Demon Origin that had not been fully assimilated was extracted from him.

"Trace Origin."

His Divine Skill activated, and Alkaid quickly located the source of that strand of Heavenly Demon Origin.

And the location of that source...

"Over there!"

Alkaid looked towards a location, then compared it with the position of the Yin Moon Sect, and couldn't help but feel surprised, "He's not fleeing towards the Yin Moon Sect headquarters? Or rather… to avoid me intercepting him halfway to the Yin Moon Sect, did he deliberately take a detour?"

He quickly estimated the distance…

If this Demon Lord were running at full speed towards the Yin Moon Sect, considering the distance, he might not be able to catch him.

But since he had taken a detour…

Chase!

"Really quite clever."

This time, Alkaid did not use the Dao Artifact Flying Boat to maintain Cave Heaven state, but instead activated the Limitless Sword and the Two Realms Ruler, using Void Blink at full speed.

In a single blink he covered hundreds of thousands of miles.

In a single breath, he could perform the Void Blink several times.

With this method of traveling, the distance between him and the Jīn Ní Demon Lord was quickly closed.

When Alkaid activated Supreme Human Emperor once more to replenish his own consumption, a Dao Artifact Flying Boat, piloted by a Refining Void Demon Cultivator, appeared in front of him.

His Divine Sense swept over it, and the strongest aboard the flying boat seemed to be a Refining Void Demon Cultivator, at most accompanied by two Hollow Void Demon Cultivators, and a group of Golden Core Demon Cultivators.

However, both the "Trace Origin" Divine Skill and True Spirit's Light were telling him that there was a big fish hidden within the flying boat.

There was no escape.

Under the double innate abilities, no matter how the Shattered Void Demon Lord inside tried to hide and suppress his aura, in the end, he was unable to escape detection and had nowhere to hide.

"Whoosh."

Amplified by the Time Torrent, two Swords of the Void slashed down simultaneously.

And they were precisely aimed at the Jīn Ní Demon Lord on the warship who was desperately trying to hide his aura.

Feeling the sharpness of the Swords of the Void, the Jīn Ní Demon Lord could no longer remain hidden, his figure suddenly rising from the warship in a leap.

But he had no intention of engaging Alkaid; instead, as soon as he emerged, he immediately produced six odd objects.

Each of these objects burst forth with stunning Dao essence, their power so formidable that it was no less than that of a Shattered Void Cultivator exerting his full Dao Technique.

In other words, the simultaneous offering of these six items was equivalent to the combined instant onslaught of six Shattered Voids.

Even with such fearsome tools at his side, the Demon Lord didn't dare to continue the chase.

Instead, taking advantage of the moment the objects were offered, he tore up a Talisman Record and in the blink of an eye, vanished from the area.

Even when Alkaid immediately produced the Heaven-Sealing Stele, he still could not lock down the Demon Lord's form.

"Hmm? Great Teleportation Divine Talisman? This level... probably personally crafted by a Dao Lord."

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

The next moment, the Swords of the Void cut through the multitude of Dao Techniques, shattering five out of the six in an instant.

The remaining one broke through the blockade of the Swords of the Void, striking Alkaid's body.

But with a flicker of starlight, his body seemed to radiate a brilliant lustrous light, forcefully dispersing the power of the Dao Technique.

"You think you can get away?"

Alkaid took a step across the Void, closing tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?"

Alkaid was slightly surprised upon reaching the destination.

He had actually…

Lost the trace of the Jīn Ní Demon Lord.

But no matter.

He shifted his form and reappeared on the warship, with a point of his finger, the Great Annihilation Sword Qi bombarded down.

Instantly, the bodies of the Refining Void and Hollow Void Demon Cultivators on the warship were blasted apart.

Immediately following, the Cave Heaven engulfed and suppressed a Refining Void and two more Hollow Void Demon Cultivators.

Alkaid extracted a strand of Heavenly Demon Origin from one of them, activated the Origin Tracing Power, and quickly picked up on something.

"Void Blink in place?"

His gaze shifted and landed on a mountain peak just a thousand miles away.

Then, the Great Annihilation Sword Qi bombarded down once more.

The small mountain peak, spanning over ten miles, was ground into nothing under the destructive power contained within the Sword Qi.

Following closely, a figure rising into the air from that area, its Demonic Flames significantly weakened compared to before.

"So many Dao Lord Talisman Records? Thus, you've found a Dao Lord's secret cache."

Although Alkaid posed it as a question, his tone was certain.

Only a Talisman Record of the soul-related Dao Lord Level could avoid his "True Spirit's Light" perception.

"Sect Leader Alkaid, please calm your anger!"

The Jīn Ní Demon Lord conceded very quickly, "As long as you're willing to spare me, I will immediately tell you the whereabouts of the Dao Lord's secret cache!"

"Killing you, I will naturally be able to find the cache from your body."

Alkaid once again offered the Heaven-Sealing Stele, sealing the space.

Another Sword of the Void swiftly followed, slicing down.
