Chapter 545: Invincible
"This power..."
Alkaid took a deep breath.
He did not know if the Time Daoist Ancestor could actually achieve such a level, but even if he could...
It certainly couldn't be as comprehensive as this.
In other words...
The level where High-Dimensional Cognition exists is at least on par with the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm.
It is not the Daoist Ancestor, nor the Master of Primordial Yi!
It's on the same level as the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm!
The fact that he now held the power of this level completely in his hands...
At this moment, an unprecedented desire arose in Alkaid's heart.
He was very eager to know, what exactly lay above the mist formed by the Chaotic Origin Realm.
What kind of being stood within the high dimensions, observing the great war between the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm with the posture of an observer.
And what role did he play within that dimension.
"Humm!"
At this time, the anomaly outside interrupted Alkaid's contemplation.
He looked up to find that he had passed through the second Stellar Gate and arrived at a star-filled space beyond it.
Here, thirteen Dao Lords were gathering.
Clearly, they belonged to the third line of defense of the Gate of Eternal Life.
However, when Alkaid annihilated the seven Dao Lords with the power of the Space-Time Treasure Orb from the Great Dao Tower, the feedback of time and space in that battlefield warped to the extent that these thirteen Dao Lords did not sense the fluctuation of a Dao Lord's fall, still thinking the battle over there had yet to end.
When Alkaid actually traversed from the Gate of Eternity, the thirteen Dao Lords gathered there were still chatting leisurely, full of interest.
"So, let's guess, what identity does this 'invader' have? Is it possible they haven't even heard of our Gate of Eternal Life's name, to dare to invade our home grounds alone?"
A Dao Lord stimulated his Divine Sense.
"The Elders have already sent news, as I suspected, the opponent was able to demolish the Dao Lords guarding the Gate of Eternity with irresistible force, their strength cannot be weak, indeed they have already cultivated to an Invincible Dao Lord! Probably... for this reason, they think themselves invincible under heaven, and dare to dismiss our Gate of Eternal Life."
This Dao Lord responded, sneering: "Invincible Dao Lord? Ridiculous! Who dares to claim invincibility before our Gate of Eternal Life? Even if the Dao Venerable dares to cause trouble in our Gate of Eternal Life, we'd scatter their ashes to the wind!"
"I, on the other hand, hope the Elders in the first line of defense aren't too serious. It has been a long time since I've had such fun to watch; I hope the invader can break through the Elders' defense lines, so I can have a chance to flex my muscles."
Another Dao Lord, somewhat bored, stimulated his Divine Sense.
"Alright, the opponent is no weakling, and with a formidable enemy upon us, let's stay alert, we..."
A more steady Dao Lord began speaking.
This time, just as his Divine Sense was stirred and beginning to dissipate, he saw Streaming Light flash by as a figure already appeared before their eyes.
Seeing this suddenly revealed figure, and the fluctuations left behind from the invocation of Void Force from his body, many of the dozen or so Dao Lords' complexions changed at the same time.
A Dao Lord!?
And not any Dao Lord recognized by them!
In other words...
"He's here!"
"The Elders... They really couldn't stop him!? And... he broke through so quickly!?"
With Divine Sense vibrating, many Dao Lords immediately invoked the Power of the Great Dao, ready to deploy Dao Techniques.
Some Dao Lords were also exhilarated.
"Good, let me try out just how much you weigh, this witch enemy Dao Lord..."
They shouted simultaneously, leaping forward, with Dao Techniques gathering.
But before they could fully manifest their Dao Techniques, the Void Force was drawn by a majestic power, as if forming an unprecedented Void tsunami with incredible speed.
This near absolute command of the Great Void Path made the complexion of the Void Dao Lords present turn pale: "No good! This scale of Void Force... be careful..."
Before his Divine Sense could spread the warning, Alkaid had already formed the Immortal Technique Level of the Great Void Technique in his hand.
At this moment, his progress in the Realm of the Void Path had reached 1021/10000, an undeniable Immortal King Domain.
Even without the Supreme Holy Artifact, the Great Dao Tower, placed in the Lower Realm, he would still be on par with a character of the Venerable Dao Level.
The Great Void Technique, an Origin Dao Technique of the Great Void Path and Void Immortal Technique, couldn't be said to be effortless to summon, yet it could be freely deployed.
Among the three Dao Lords who indulged in the invincibility of the Gate of Eternal Life and failed to see the situation clearly, just as they actively met the attack, wanting to strike, they were already completely enveloped by the Great Void Technique.
Accompanied by the interference of Soul Force emanating from the Great Dao Tower, these three Dao Lords didn't even have the chance to leave last words as they were turned into nothingness by the Great Void Technique, as if they had never existed in this world.
"This!?"
Such a terrifying scene caused the remaining ten Dao Lords to involuntarily widen their eyes.
Their Divine Senses nearly experienced a moment of stagnation.
Three Dao Lords!
A total of three Dao Lords, each of whom could be called Elder Level in the Gate of Eternal Life, capable of overseeing a Star Domain, were actually killed without any resistance in a face-off!?
This strength...
"Hum!"
Ripples of Formlessness spread from the Great Dao Tower.
The ripples of Time spread through the battlefield.
The resonance of the Great Dao caused by the fall of the Dao Lord was directly distorted by the power of space-time, preventing it from dissipating at all.
This scene sent a shiver straight to the hearts of the Daoist Elders who were somewhat perplexed as to why, even though Alkaid had already breached the defenses of the Stellar Sect, there was no news coming from the battlefield where the eight Great Elders were.
Why was there no news coming out?
Why was there no corresponding Great Dao resonance with the fall of a Dao Lord!?
The Power of Time!
This formidable invader was actually wielding a Dao Artifact...
No!
It must be an Immortal Artifact!
This fearsome invader actually wielded a Time Immortal Artifact, using the power of the Time Immortal Artifact to completely distort all information, splitting the battlefield they were on from the starry sky perceived by others into two different spaces and times!
Despite the fall of a Dao Lord within this starry sky, to outsiders it appeared as if the fall of the Dao Lord had never happened, due to the different timelines.
Naturally, the coming of death, silent and unnoticed, was not sensed.
"No!"
"Quick! Break through this layer of time ripples! Send the message out! This invader... is definitely beyond the strength of an Invincible Dao Lord! He is far more terrifying than we anticipated!"
"Dao Venerable! Dao Venerable! It's a Dao Venerable!"
"The attack of a Dao Venerable! We must mobilize more than half of the sect's power to have a chance to suppress it. If we keep sending reinforcement after reinforcement... the entire Gate of Eternal Life is at risk of being broken through, until we are utterly defeated!"
The remaining ten Dao Lords descended into chaos, each frantically drawing upon their own Power of the Great Dao to condense Dao Techniques.
Those with trump cards at hand even directly sacrificed their trump cards. In an instant, countless attacks of the level near to Dao-erasing fire, at Quasi-Immortal Technique Level, were brewing in the hands of three Dao Lords.
Such attacks...
If struck head-on, already possessed the might to kill other Dao Lords.
And now, among the ten Dao Lords, actually three had such trump cards.
From this, one could see just how profound the foundational strength of the Dao Lords of the Gate of Eternal Life was.
On the Northern Sea Star, the proportion of well-known Dao Lords was feared to be three to four tenths, and the proportion of top Dao Lords was estimated to reach one to two tenths.
Just as everyone was bringing out their trump cards, about to show their most powerful attacks, behind Alkaid, within the Great Dao Tower, the radiance of the five Great Daos—space, origin, chaos, soul, stars—circulated simultaneously.
"Suppress!"
As he uttered the word, the five Great Daos seemed like five towering sacred mountains, crashing down with irresistible force.
Soul trembled!
Void solidified!
All things turned into chaos!
Every piece of chaos weighed as heavy as stars!
The Origin Dao provided a steady flow of energy to maintain this suppressive state!
For a moment, whether it was the renowned Dao Lords who had revealed their Quasi-Immortal Technique level trump cards, or the ordinary Dao Lords who were using various life-saving means, all had an uncontrollable terror emerging in their eyes.
They watched, helpless, as they were suppressed by the immense Divine Might manifested by the five Great Daos, immobilized not in the slightest, and then...
They were at the mercy of Alkaid, who, in an almost harvesting manner, was slowly annihilating the ten great Dao Lords.
The despair of watching the blade descent, yet unable to move a muscle or resist, filled their minds, making them wish they could howl to the heavens in agony.
But, unfortunately...
They couldn't even release a ripple of Divine Sense.
Finally, with Alkaid's Dao Technique sweeping past, the ten great Dao Lords quietly dissipated between heaven and earth.
"The Gate of the World, with full activation of the Great Dao Tower, can suppress thirty to forty Dao Lords at once. Without the Great Dao Tower to maintain the suppression, solely relying on the power of this Composite Immortal Technique alone, it can suppress only ten to eight Dao Lords."
Alkaid estimated the numbers.
The Great Dao Tower was not only his foundation for the path of Human Immortal cultivation but also an immensely powerful Supreme Holy Artifact.
Attacking with this Supreme Holy Artifact, and using this Supreme Holy Artifact as a source of power for performing Immortal Techniques, made a night and day difference.
After exterminating these thirteen Dao Lords, Alkaid carefully sensed for a moment before turning around. With a Sky Rift Flowing Light, he once again traversed back to the Stellar Gate he had come from.
Not long after, as he passed through the Stellar Gate, six great Dao Lords had gathered here.
These were the Dao Lords who had come to provide support.
Originally, he intended to invade the heartland of the Gate of Eternal Life as swiftly as possible to prevent the Dao Lords of the Gate of Eternal Life from using the power of their headquarters' Immortal Array to fight him.
But now...
He realized there was no need.
There was no need for any tactics.
With his current strength, it did not matter whether the Dao Lords of the Gate of Eternal Life gathered together or relied on the power of the headquarters' Immortal Array to fight him to the death.
His realm, comparable to that of an Immortal King, was now not inferior to any Dao Lord in history.
Adding the Supreme Holy Artifact, the Great Dao Tower, he had become the strongest Dao Venerable in history by some measures.
Facing a hundred enemies, dominating an era, was no longer his limit.
Even if hundreds of Dao Lords from the Gate of Eternal Life joined forces, wielding the power of the Immortal Array to fight him, the outcome would still not change in the slightest.
At this moment, his strength in the Lower Realm starry sky had already surpassed people's understanding of Dao Venerables, of true Dao Venerables.
This form he was in could only be described by one term!
Invincible!
Truly invincible under the heavens!
