Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

On the other side of the second Stellar Sect Gate.

Six Dao Lords rushed to the scene.

They could clearly discern that a great battle had occurred in this area.

Yet, bizarrely, signs of the battle seemed to have been twisted and obscured by some force, making it impossible for them to see anything abnormal.

This feeling of knowing there was an issue, yet not knowing where the problem lay, made all six Dao Lords uneasy.

"Where did the Elders go? Where on earth did they go?"

"It looks like the other Elders have already intercepted the invader? But where are they, what has happened to them?"

"Could it be that the invader possesses some kind of Void Supreme Treasure that dragged the Elders into another space, which is why we can't see them?"

"Impossible, I am a Void Dao Lord, if a Void Supreme Treasure had created another space in this area, I would definitely have been able to detect it."

One by one, the Dao Lords searched around to no avail.

Eventually, a Dao Lord said gravely, "We should inform Changqing Sect Leader and the three Great Hall Masters. This invader might be stronger than we anticipated, possibly having reached the 'Dao Venerable' level, similar to the Sect Leader and the three Great Hall Masters."

"It's almost certain, anyone who has cultivated to become a Dao Lord is no fool. Such a bold invader, daring to infiltrate our Gate of Eternal Life alone, must possess the strength of a 'Dao Venerable' to not be delivering his own death. We should invite one of the Hall Masters over to deal with this, to prevent it from escalating into a major threat."

"I've already informed Posa Palace Master, he is on his way! He is specifically responsible for handling warfare with external forces, his strength is formidable, and he will surely capture this invader in one fell swoop."

The Dao Lords quickly reached a consensus.

At that moment, Alkaid's figure reappeared.

The six Dao Lords who had reached a consensus were slightly stunned.

Their first thought was...

"He's trying to escape!?"

"Posa Palace Master will be here soon! Stop him!"

"No one dares to come make trouble within our Gate of Eternal Life and leave leisurely afterward!"

As their thoughts shifted, all six Dao Lords simultaneously launched an attack towards Alkaid.

This action…

Saved Alkaid the effort of having to pursue them.

At that moment, as the six Dao Lords attacked him, Alkaid expanded and swept them all into the Great Dao Tower.

Like six big fish that had jumped willingly into the net, they felt that Alkaid would be remiss not to deal with their fervor.

The six Dao Lords trapped inside the Great Dao Tower immediately felt the bombardment from dozens of Great Dao coming from this Supreme Holy Artifact.

Trapped within it, they were like being in a Great Dao grinding mill, struggling with all their might, yet still inevitably facing destruction one by one.

"How is this possible..."

"Immortal Artifact! Immortal Artifact! This must be an Immortal Artifact! A Dao Venerable with an Immortal Artifact!?"

"Quick! Spread the message, inform the other Elders, do not take action without more than ten Elders forming an array... do not take action! Do not take action! Do not take action!"

The intense tremors in the Great Dao Tower continued for a moment, then quickly subsided.

Having dealt with the six Dao Lords outside, Alkaid turned around and re-entered the Gate of Starry Sky.

He estimated that in the next Gate of Starry Sky, Dao Lords should have already gathered.

How many there would be this time, he did not know.

While traversing through the spaces between one Starry Sky Gate to another, Alkaid also cast his gaze on the surrounding planets.

There were many planets, but most of them were inhabited by Cultivators who were at most Golden Core Realm.

But this was normal.

Apart from the special environment of large virtual nodes, it was difficult for other areas to give birth to Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

As for Hollow Void, Refining Void, Shattered Void, and even Integrating Dao, these were cultivated only in regions containing the Gate of the Immortal Realm and very few exceptional places.

This was a constraint of the environment.

Why was Northern Sea Star exceptionally chaotic?

In fact, it was due to many Cultivators from regions similar to Cangwu Great World gathering on Northern Sea Star.

When there are many people and few resources, competition and conflict are inevitable.

In the midst of battling and grabbing, Cultivators would quickly be exhausted.

Until a balance is achieved.

This balance is represented by structures like the Ten Great Immortal Paths, Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, and Ten Directions Divine Clan on Northern Sea Star.

After this structure lasted for ten thousand years, it would be broken during conflicts of the Dao, initiating a new cycle of reincarnation.

During this process, a large number of Cultivators would be consumed, and at the same time, numerous powers would seize the opportunity to rise.

"Restrictions on the development of sects and the evolution of civilization are never about numbers, but about environment and resources."

Gate of Eternal Life rose to be the foremost in the universe precisely because they monopolized ample resources.

The three hundred and sixty True Transmission disciples, each comparable to the top ten candidates of the Northern Sea Star Dao Lords.

As for the Shattered Void Realm Inner Sect Disciples and Stewards, they were too numerous to count.

Yet, on ordinary planets, only low-level cultivators could survive.

"The whole world is structured like a pyramid, where one ten-thousandth of beings hold ninety-nine percent of the resources. They squander it without ever disbursing it downward—that is the norm; there is no such thing as equal distribution of the dew."

Alkaid was unsurprised by this: "A Dao Lord would not wholeheartedly cultivate a hundred Shattered Void to hope one of them becomes a Dao Lord. Instead, they plunder the Shattered Void's resources and harness their value, enabling themselves to go further on the Dao Lord's path. They even set barriers to prevent Shattered Void from breaking through and becoming Dao Lords, thus posing a threat to themselves."

Not just Dao Lords, but also Shattered Void, Refining Void, Hollow Void, Golden Core all operate the same way.

Exploitation layer by layer.

With these thoughts flowing in his mind, he had traversed another Stellar Sect and arrived at a new expanse of the starry sky.

By this point, he had ventured deep into the territory of Gate of Eternal Life.

One more crossing through a Stellar Sect would bring him directly into the headquarters of Gate of Eternal Life.

Even…

In this Stellar Sect, he could already perceive where the headquarters of Gate of Eternal Life was situated.

If Gate of Eternal Life were replaced with Northern Sea Star, he would be at the location where he and the No Light Alliance's Dao Lords once clashed in a decisive battle.

Moving forward, if a battle between Dao Lords erupted regardless of the outcome, the unleashed power of the Dao Lords would bring immense damage to Gate of Eternal Life.

As Alkaid stepped through this Stellar Sect, thirteen hurriedly summoned Dao Lords gathered at the scene.

Although the number of these thirteen Dao Lords was the same as the previous batch, their quality was higher, with four being top-tier Dao Lords.

However, these thirteen Dao Lords quickly gathered in front of a warship carrying six Dao Lords, and bowed in unison to a figure on the deck: "Hall Master."

If any surviving member of Slaughter Star Alliance was present, they would recognize this figure instantly—it was Posa Daoist, representing Gate of Eternal Life, intending to scheme for the Sun and Star Sect's territory.

He was also one of the three great Hall Masters of Gate of Eternal Life.

A supremely powerful figure known as "Dao Venerable", his strength supreme even above the Invincible Dao Lords.

Of course, he himself preferred the moniker "Posa Daoist", never admitting to possessing the power of a "Dao Venerable".

"Hall Master, we just contacted interceptors from the first two Stellar Sects, but they… seem to have lost contact. Oddly, we haven't sensed the fall of any Dao Lord. The Elders, apart from losing contact, have sent no other news… We suspect they must be trapped."

The four top-tier Dao Lords boarded the deck and reported.

"Losing contact once or twice could be explained by them being trapped, but then the reinforcement of six great Dao Lords also losing contact only proves… the intruder's strength is beyond our imagination, certainly a 'Dao Venerable' level powerhouse."

While Posa Daoist responded, he quickly exchanged words with someone beside him: "Yuan Kong, how many high-rank Immortal Spirits are recorded currently? It's extremely rare for natives of this universe to cultivate to the titled 'Dao Venerable' level. The so-called titled 'Dao Venerables' outside are actually Seventeenth-Level Immortal Spirits from our side. Hence, I suspect this intruder is the same, just don't know which powerhouse it is, plundering us, the Changsheng Group."

"High-rank Immortal Spirits, I recall a few, but they are some distance from this star domain. However, it could also be other groups' competitive tactics."

The Dao Lord named Yuan Kong spoke gravely: "Has competition reached such an intense level above? Starting to undermine the Lower Realm? Without the Lower Realm Dao Lords securing the final shares, what if an Immortal King emerges swiftly achieving Daoist Ancestor, wouldn't that add an uncontrollable variable?"

"It seems they think the Ancient Immortal Realm couldn't mount a sizable counterattack. Immortal Kings lucky to survive are like homeless hounds, not daring to show themselves amidst the siege of major groups."

Posa Daoist said, slowly exhaling: "Regardless, capture first. If it's a native, figure out directly which heritage he acquired and how he cultivated to a titled Dao Venerable. If an Immortal Spirit, have their backing group exchange shares for their release, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless and exterminate them."

Yuan Kong Dao Lord nodded.

Though his power didn't reach the Eighteenth-Rank Immortal Spirits, it was still a lofty Seventeenth Rank, otherwise, he wouldn't sit as an equal with Posa.

With his authority, just waiting for the next opening of Gate of the Immortal Realm, he could directly enter and advance to the Immortal Venerable Realm in an exceedingly short time.

Thus, even if this invasion was by a "Dao Venerable," he remained confident in himself.

Under these circumstances, Alkaid's figure emerged from the Stellar Sect.

"Capture first!"

As Posa Daoist spoke, behind him, Immortal Light soared skyward.

In less than three thousand years in this world, despite being brief, he had crafted a few Semi-Immortal Artifacts. Coupled with these augmentations, he quickly conjured a Reincarnation Immortal Art, seemingly to revert him back to his original form.

This was clearly a Dao Lord who cultivated the Reincarnation Path.

However, as he deployed the Reincarnation Immortal Art, Alkaid sensed something.

"Immortal Art?"

A thought sparked, and the shadow of the Great Dao Tower manifested behind him.

Void, Time, Destruction, Five Elements, Yin Yang Level Dao Arts surged simultaneously.

The Interplay of these five Great Dao intertwined, working in harmony, ultimately forming a torrential flow of the Great Dao that enveloped Posa Daoist and all other Dao Lords, washing over them with a super-temporal state before they could even react!

This was…

Composite Immortal Technique!

Spatial-Temporal Collapse Technique!
