Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 452 - 438: Fast and Slow

With the Sword of the Void unleashed, everyone felt the terrifying sharpness so fierce that nothing could withstand it.

"Shatter it!"

The Divine Sense of the Temptation Divine Emperor reverberated.

The three Divine Emperors employed various methods to interfere, weaken, and suppress, all while converging toward Alkaid.

Yet even so, the first Sword of the Void that was swung, still cleaved apart the Crimson Flame Streaming Light—a Dao Technique shot with all the strength of the Temptation Divine Emperor.

Before his second Crimson Flame Streaming Light could take shape, the second Sword of the Void followed the trajectory of the shattered light, directly striking his Divine Body.

Despite a Protective Dao Artifact materializing instantly on his body to barely block the second Sword of the Void, the energy contained within it transmitted through, affecting his Divine Nation, and causing it to begin collapsing internally, while he was already under the strain of a limit-pushing Forbidden Technique.

Alkaid maintained this rhythm, issuing the next assault at an unhurried pace.

Not only that, but he also summoned the Heaven-Sealing Stele, using its power to suppress the Crimson Flame Streaming Light of the Temptation Divine Emperor, making the trajectory of this Dao Technique clearly visible, no longer necessitating the reliance on Void Blink to dodge as in the beginning.

Under this onslaught of the Sword of the Void, the Protective Dao Artifact of the Temptation Divine Emperor shattered, forcing him to expend a life-saving treasure.

But before he could catch his breath, a new wave of the Sword of the Void followed in close succession.

The attack was simple.

The tactic was evident, yet such a straightforward strategy brought about an suffocating oppression and despair.

Because ...

The Sword of the Void was too powerful!

So powerful that only by combining the strength of the four Great Divine Emperors could they shatter one of them.

And Alkaid, on one hand, had two.

This was like two nations at war, where one nation, no matter the economic strategies, propaganda, or tactical maneuvers used, faced an adversary who would simply drop a nuclear bomb—one bomb, then another.

In such a scenario, the nation without nuclear bombs simply cannot fight.

By only the fourth round, the Wisdom Light Divine Emperor and another Divine Emperor were already unable to hold on.

As they employed Forbidden Techniques, their Divine Nations shook, on the brink of collapse.

Seeing this, Alkaid found time to bestow two surges of Great Annihilation Sword Qi to the pair, forcing them to rapidly retreat, withdrawing from the battlefield.

The remaining two ...

To be precise, the Temptation Divine Emperor, the only one who could somewhat clash with him, suddenly experienced a plummet in his aura.

Alkaid wondered if he had some conspiracy at play but upon closer inspection, realized that this Divine Emperor was only able to stand against him now by refining True God Essence.

And now ...

The energy of the True God Essence was exhausted.

"I was still wondering why this Divine Emperor was so fierce. Aren’t the Divine Race supposed to be weakened when away from their Divine Nation? Even with that weakening, he could withstand half of my assaults. If he were in his Divine Nation... To handle him alone, would I not have to use my full strength?"

Alkaid snapped back to reality as the Sword of the Void slashed down once more.

This time, the Temptation Divine Emperor finally could not bear it any longer.

His entire Divine Body, along with his Divine Nation, was cleaved open by the successive strikes of two Swords of the Void!

"Flee! Scatter and escape! Every one of us who escapes is one saved!"

The Divine Sense of this Divine Emperor shook with a mix of anger and fear, "We have all been deceived! His strength is greater than it appears. Forget the top ten candidates on the Dao Lord Ranking, even Kong Xuan and Tian Xiao might not be stronger than him! Only the Destruction Divine Lord, standing in the Earthly Divine Kingdom, can clash with him! I have fought for the last chance for you all, flee quickly!"

The next moment, the energy contained within the Divine Nation of this Divine Emperor was fully unleashed, transforming into an unparalleled torrent of destruction rolling toward his location.

This was ...

Self-destruction!

With a thought, and the flicker of Void Blink, Alkaid vanished from the starry sky in an instant.

Today, even the self-destruction of a top-tier Shattered Void being could not bother him in the slightest, at most, it would only reduce his spoils of war.

Elsewhere, the remaining three Great Divine Emperors did not hesitate at all, rapidly transforming into three streaks of light, attempting to dash in all directions.

"Escape? Can you really escape?"

In Alkaid’s mind, the methods used by the Dao Lords through the Great Void Path flowed.

With a sudden raise of his right hand, he pointed a finger at the Heaven-Sealing Stele above his head.

Visible circles of Void Force erupted from this Superior Dao Artifact, in an instant, transforming into streams of light shot towards the three Divine Emperors who appeared as if frozen within amber, immediately becoming sluggish.

As the ripples of the Void dissipated, the Power of the Great Void Path concealed itself, but this process ...

Was like the ocean pulling back seawater carrying away grains of sand.

The three Divine Emperors were "dragged" back by the dispersing Power of the Great Void Path.

This exquisite use of the power of the Void filled the three Great Divine Emperors with dread. They mustered all their strength to shake their Divine Nations, seemingly trying to escape as light again.

But Alkaid simply repeated his earlier action.

Using the power of the Void to restrain the three, then leveraging the "retracing" power when the Great Void Path dispersed to pull them back again.

After several attempts, not only were the three Divine Emperors unable to escape the suppression of the Heaven-Sealing Stele, the two weaker Divine Emperors didn’t hold on any longer.

"No!"

Amidst the resolute tremble of their Divine Senses, the Divine Nations of these two Divine Emperors collapsed one after the other.

"Alkaid, does your Heavenly Dao Sect truly wish to wage all-out war with our Light Divine Race?"

Seeing this scene, the Tianqin Divine Emperor became somewhat despairing.

Alkaid looked at him somewhat oddly, "What you really need to worry about right now is not that your Light Divine Race won’t be exterminated for provoking me, after all... Even if the one united in Dao is coming, it will certainly not be in the next hundred or two hundred years, let alone two hundred years. If I make my move, I could annihilate all members of the Light Divine Race above Refining Void within twenty years at most."

Upon hearing this, the pupils of Tianqin Divine Emperor constricted sharply: "You ..."

"It’s over."

Alkaid spoke, as his hand flipped, four surges of Great Annihilation Sword Qi were supplemented.

"One day, the great Divine Venerable will seek vengeance for me..."

"How uninspired."

Alkaid’s ethereal hand pressed down, and under the situation where Tianqin Divine Emperor was immobilized by the Heaven-Sealing Stele, he was instantly devoured by the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

It must be said that this Divine Emperor’s style of doing things was exactly the same as that of Suoka Divine Emperor.

Even their threats were practically identical.

They both thought of using the Light Divine Race and the backing of Integrate Dao to threaten him.

However, since Suoka Divine Emperor had already left a mark of streaming light on him, to avoid being endlessly pursued by the people of the Light Divine Race in the future...

Annihilating the Light Divine Race...

If conditions permitted, killing that Light Divine Venerable seemed to have become the only solution to the problem.

In such a situation...

Before taking action, he naturally wanted to weaken the resistance of the Light Divine Race as much as possible.

Right then, he performed a Void Blink and headed straight towards the Divine Race warship.

The Divine Race warship, sensing something was amiss, had its Refining Void members wanting to pilot the warship to escape, but how could they escape Alkaid’s pursuit with Void Blink?

Accompanied by terrifying torrents of energy rampaging through this starry space, the battle soon came to an end.

After clearing all the members of the Divine Race in the vicinity, Alkaid looked at the Dao Lord’s treasure trove he had uprooted, not lingering further.

His figure flickered, soon heading towards the warship where Li Hanqiu and the others were.

In no time, his figure directly blinked into the interior of the warship.

"Sect Leader."

Seeing him appear, everyone greeted him with a salute.

"Let’s go. This starry space will soon be in turmoil. Before the spatial structure is destroyed, leave this place and return to the Heavenly Dao Sect," ordered Alkaid.

"Yes."

Li Hanqiu quickly began operating the warship.

The battle fluctuations occurring in that direction had already been detected by the warship’s sensors.

Yet, even if these energies traveled at the speed of light, they were still delayed for Alkaid, so much so that the battle had already ended there, and the destructive energy fluctuations had not yet spread to this starry space.

The warship began to traverse once more through the nodes of the void.

Alkaid then reviewed the course of the recent battle.

This battle...

Was even easier than his previous confrontations with Divine Emperors like Qi Ming and Suoka.

Its intensity was even less than battling Demon Lords like Sky Prison and Gu Ye.

Yet in reality, be it Tianqin or Ying Wu, they were all beings more powerful than the Demon Lord of Sky Prison.

Especially Ying Wu Divine Emperor, who was the trump card of the Light Divine Race, brought out to match Jing Hong True Monarch.

Even after leaving the Earthly Divine Kingdom, in terms of comprehensive strength, they were probably no weaker than Zhen Xuanyuan, and might even have a slight edge.

"In the Shattered Void Realm, I should have no more rivals. Even if faced with the combined assault of ten or eight Shattered Voids, I could still emerge victorious... In other words, leaving Dao Lords out of the discussion, I already possess the power to annihilate a top sect on my own, even if their sect is protected by Fourteenth or Fifteenth Level formations. After all, my expertise in [Formations] has already broken through the Sixteenth Level, and to break a Fifteenth Level formation is just a matter of time," Alkaid murmured to himself, smiling with confidence.

Of course, wiping out top forces wouldn’t truly involve leaving out the Dao Lords.

After all, the standard configuration of top forces included Dao Lords.

Moreover, he couldn’t guarantee that within some top forces there weren’t existences like the Golden Book Venerable, who were almost at the level of Dao Lords.

Such beings, combined with a Fifteenth Level formation, would give even Dao Lords a headache.

"Next... Four Divine Emperors, two damaged Superior Dao Artifacts, three intact Dao Artifacts, and twelve damaged Dao Artifacts..."

Alkaid calculated the gains from this large battle, turning his Divine Sense toward the Lustrous Treasure Tree in his Spiritual World.

"Even the merchant branch didn’t perform too badly?"

Contemplating, all the energy accumulated on the [Demon Hunter] and [Businessman] branches was injected into the [Integrate Dao - Void] branch.

With this energy infusion, this branch grew slightly at a very slow pace, then...

It remained still.

Alkaid focused his attention on the progress value still staying at one ten-thousandth, frowning slightly.

"It should have increased by about four ten-thousandths of a percent."

Of this four ten-thousandths, the four Divine Emperors...

Accounted for about 0.0025%, and the remaining 0.0015% came from the two damaged Superior Dao Artifacts and a series of other artifacts.

"That’s too little."

Alkaid lamented sincerely.

He quickly thought of something.

The power of a Dao Lord is so vast that hundreds or even thousands of Shattered Voids banded together might not be able to contend with it.

Yet a single Northern Sea Star had no less than eight hundred Shattered Voids when added up.

Going by the rate of growth, ten or so thousand Shattered Voids could complete the [Integrate Dao - Void] phase of cultivation...

They could truly be described as making rapid strides.

"In this case, it’s actually not a lot. I just don’t know if this gain will decrease as my cultivation progresses," Alkaid pondered, soon immersing his Divine Sense into the information that came with the new four ten-thousandths of progress.

He hoped this progress...

Would bring him some benefits in the cultivation of his techniques.
