Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 552 - 539: Human Heart

"No Light Alliance is finished,"

Emperor Hui Dao Lord remarked somewhat wistfully.

One feels pain when seeing their own kind in distress.

Seeing Dao Lords like themselves being killed by Alkaid in such an overwhelmingly swift manner, even though they were on the same side as Alkaid and those killed were supposedly their enemies, these Dao Lords still felt an inexplicable emotion.

Perhaps this is what is called 'the sorrow of the rabbit causes the fox to grieve.'

"A life-and-death battle is not just a strategic calculation. Once a battle really breaks out, the factors influencing its outcome are not limited to the predictor but also include the other party involved in the battle. At that time, anything unexpected can happen,"

Supreme Purity Dao Lord also spoke, filled with emotion, "Just like now, although the No Light Alliance calculated well in advance and even employed a time treasure to train a powerful Formation which indeed achieved their expected result, all their calculations were based on their assumptions. Yet, unexpectedly, Alkaid did not act according to their plan but broke their Formation directly with his speed advantage."

"It looks like we really don't need to take the stage. Gentlemen, be ready to prevent other Dao Lords from escaping, or else once Dao Venerable Alkaid ascends to the Immortal Realm, these fleeing Dao Lords will inevitably come back for revenge. At that time, the heritage of all of us could become targets of their revenge,"

Jun Tian Dao Lord solemnly warned.

His words made every one of the Dao Lords brace themselves.

Because they knew that this was not an exaggeration but a fact.

If a large number of Dao Lords escape, once someone with an agenda instigates them, just having thirty or forty Dao Lords come back could bring about a destructive blow to the Ten Great Immortal Paths, the Four Great Immortal Dynasties, and other forces.

And by that time, the small number of Dao Lords that their side would have left, even with a Formation to protect them, would definitely not withstand the fury of dozens of Dao Lords.

Therefore, making use of this moment to entangle and trap as many Dao Lords as possible, and then using the power of Dao Venerable Alkaid to eliminate them here, would be the best way to solve the problem.

Not just Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths recognized that the No Light Alliance was doomed, when Alkaid charged repeatedly into the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation led by Witch Enemy Dao Lord, killed more than a dozen Dao Lords, and yet they could do nothing against Alkaid, the remaining Dao Lords also sensed something was off.

Some Dao Lords began retreating involuntarily.

Witch Enemy Dao Lord noticed this early on, his powerful Divine Sense imbued with soul-manipulating Dao Technique echoed repeatedly through this starry sky, "Don't panic! Organize the troops. Just hold Alkaid off for a moment, and he will soon become a trapped beast, unable to escape death!"

He knew in his heart that while others might be able to escape unscathed amidst the chaos, he, the leader of the No Light Alliance…

was definitely one of Alkaid's primary targets, with no chance of escaping.

In this situation, he had no choice but to fight to the bitter end.

And the only way to fight to the bitter end was to rally the other members of the No Light Alliance and manipulate them to continue the desperate battle.

Even though he could gradually no longer see any hope of victory.

Unfortunately, the earlier Dao Lords had been inspired by him, naturally infected by his Soul Dao Technique in their contemplations, rushing to join the assault on Alkaid. However, as they now harbored thoughts of retreat and fear, his Soul Dao Technique was clearly no longer effective.

Not only was it ineffective, but it even caused some of the Dao Lords to resent him.

"Witch Enemy! I was already about to leave Northern Sea Star. I should not have listened to your manipulation, letting you drag me back into this whirlpool of Northern Sea Star that could lead to Myriad Calamities with the slightest misstep!"

"As Dao Lords, even if we cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm, we still have lifespans of tens of thousands of years. Why risk our lives to confront a Dao Venerable? I must have been blind to be deceived by you!"

"Didn't you say that it would be effortless for the sixty Dao Lords forming the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation to eliminate Alkaid? We just needed to guard against the Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths. But what happened? This is your definition of effortless!?"

Some Dao Lords angrily rebuked and immediately withdrew from the battlefield, heading deep into the cosmic starry sky.

Once the first batch of Dao Lords retreated, more followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen streaks of light had withdrawn.

Seeing this, the prepared Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths and other powers stepped forward to intercept those fleeing Dao Lords.

"Do you think you can come and go as you please in our Northern Sea Star?"

"Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, had already given you more than one opportunity, which you did not seize. Now you wish to leave? You are clearly not taking the Dao Lords of the Northern Sea Star seriously!"

"Hahaha, thinking of leaving? Pass through us first!"

These Dao Lords executed their Dao Techniques, intercepting the fleeing streaks of light.

They did not aim to kill these Dao Lords but to ensnare them, preventing their escape in the short term.

Seeing their "retreat path" blocked, the previously indecisive Dao Lords now plunged into panic.

They had chosen the cosmic starry sky as their battleground partly because they feared the life-and-death battle of over a hundred Dao Lords might devastate the Northern Sea Star, thereby delaying the full opening of the Gate of the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, the vastness of the starry sky meant that if the situation turned against them, they could scatter and escape in all directions.

Now with their "retreat path" cut off by the Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths, many Dao Lords no longer felt the safety they had at the start.

Moreover, as Alkaid performed Void Blink, darting about like a slippery monkey, and went on a killing spree under the pursuit of the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation led by Dao Lord Wu Di, they could not withstand this pressure and fear, and they joined the earlier Dao Lords who had retreated far from the battlefield.

At this moment, they only thought of escaping the battlefield at the highest speed, going far away and never returning to Northern Sea Star.

"A disorganized mob! You are respected Dao Lords, yet you act like a chaotic crowd, completely lacking a sense of the bigger picture!"

Dao Lord Wu Di's Divine Sense spread across the field again: "Gentlemen, the bigger picture is what matters. Each of you is only thinking of making a safe retreat. Do you not realize that if we scatter, Alkaid will simply catch up and defeat us one by one? Only by fighting Alkaid to the death can we seize a slim chance of survival!"

This fluctuation of Divine Sense indeed caused some of the more understanding Dao Lords to pause.

But immediately after, Alkaid's figure flickered again, and the powers of the Great Dao flowed over the Great Dao Tower, intertwining and charging tumultuously, overwhelming everything as he blasted into the midst of a dozen Dao Lords.

Wherever he went, even renowned Dao Lords could not escape annihilation.

Regrettably, the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation led by Dao Lord Wu Di was slow to change formation and could only follow behind, unable to save these Dao Lords at all.

This brutal reality also made these Dao Lords no longer dare to hesitate.

Forty to fifty Dao Lords withdrew from the battlefield and charged against the defenses set by the Dao Lords of the Ten Great Immortal Paths and others.

"You can't escape! You simply can't escape! Fleeing one by one will only turn you into easy prey for Alkaid!"

Dao Lord Witch Enemy saw through the key problem, his powerful Divine Sense once again pervading the starry sky, "Everyone, join my Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation. We will expand the formation and then break out with the power of the formation!"

Upon hearing these words, the Dao Lords who understood the grave situation were instantly enlightened.

Alkaid didn't dare to fully confront the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation, although he had penetrated the formation to kill a few, each attack was quick and he dared not linger.

This showed his extreme fear of the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation.

If they could join the formation as well...

Would it not be much safer than being alone out here?

In an instant, numerous Dao Lords rushed into the formation, joining the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation, causing this originally optimal sixty-person formation to swell from less than fifty Dao Lords to around seventy or eighty.

Another thirty or forty people no longer trusted Witch Enemy, still attempting to escape the interception and entanglement of dozens of Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths.

Dao Lord Witch Enemy glanced around, and only then did he vaguely realize that in just this brief clash, their side had already lost forty to fifty Dao Lords!

This realization made his heart tremble.

Dao Lords!

These were Dao Lords standing at the pinnacle of the universe!

Although in each Dao competition for the Gate of the Immortal Realm, there would be casualties of ten to twenty percent among the Dao Lords, and in particularly fierce moments, the casualties could even reach thirty to forty percent, almost one hundred in number, these were the total number of Dao Lords lost intermittently over a hundred years.

And those were not fallen by the hand of a single individual!

But now...

How long had it been? The number of fallen Dao Lords was almost comparable to the casualties in a moderately severe Dao competition.

The power of a Dao Venerable...

Turned out to be horrifying to this extent.

At this moment, originally troubled by the incoherent operation of the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation due to the addition of many Dao Lords not proficient in formations, Witch Enemy cared no more about the Formation issues.

Even if he had to use these Dao Lords as human shields, he wanted to flee towards a spatial node, then use the spatial node to distance himself from this area.

He chose this starry sky near a node as the battleground precisely because he possessed a powerful spatial treasure.

With this treasure, even if he fell into the spatial turbulence, he could still save his life.

Thus, what he needed to do now was to rush to the spatial node.

"A friend's death is not the Dao's demise."

Using the deaths of other Dao Lords to buy time for himself, he dashed towards the spatial node in one breath.

As for how many people could successfully complete the Void Shuttle once inside the spatial node...

That would be up to their individual luck.

With this thought, Dao Lord Witch Enemy dragged the cumbersome Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation, constantly narrowing the distance between himself and the spatial node.

During this process, he watched helplessly as Alkaid continually blinked in and out of existence, exterminating one Dao Lord after another.

He could even faintly discern that Alkaid was highly skilled in formation techniques, making the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation seem utterly meaningless in his eyes, unable to provide any additional protection to the other Dao Lords, yet he still continuously stimulated his Divine Sense, boosting morale with a sequence of Soul Dao Techniques.

At this moment, the two seemed to have reached a formless tacit understanding.

Dao Lord Witch Enemy used other Dao Lords as human shields, while Alkaid...

Did not use Void Blink to approach and exterminate the leading Dao Lord Witch Enemy in charge of the formation.

Although some Dao Lords noticed something unusual and wanted to break out, once they left the range of the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation, they immediately became hunting targets for Alkaid.

Moreover, due to a herd mentality, even though the Six Harmonies Divination Separation Formation was just an empty shell, all the Dao Lords still closely surrounded Dao Lord Witch Enemy, seeing him as their only path to survival.

"A common affliction of intelligent beings, subconsciously ignoring facts that are unfavorable to themselves," observed Alkaid.

Finally, when Dao Lord Witch Enemy, dragging the formation reduced now to only about twenty Dao Lords, arrived at the spatial node, Alkaid executed a Void Blink, instantly appearing at the spatial node. Immediately afterward, the Great Dao Tower slammed fiercely into the void at this node.

"Buzz, buzz!"

Invisible ripples spread out, instantly permeating billions of miles of space at a speed surpassing that of light, effectively scattering the entire spatial node.

Although, relying on the universe's own power of restoration, this node would recover in a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years, but...

This strike had crushed all hope for Dao Lord Witch Enemy and the remaining twenty-some Dao Lords.

"No!"

Dao Lord Witch Enemy, along with the Dao Lords who had already sensed the collapse of the situation, let out cries of utter despair.

Alkaid pivoted his body.

He maneuvered the Great Dao Tower again toward the crowd.

His mood was so icy cold that it didn't ripple with any emotion.

Dozens of breaths later, following Dao Lord Witch Enemy being crushed by the Great Dao Tower, the resistance of the No Light Alliance was officially declared a failure.
