Chapter 511 Immortal Technique
"Another invincible Dao Lord!"
Alkaid exclaimed.
Moreover, he sensed the fluctuation of no less than three semi-immortal artifacts on this Dao Lord's person.
It was precisely the existence of these semi-immortal artifacts that widened the slight gap between the Nine Palaces Dao Lord and this Golden Light Dao Lord.
Setting aside these semi-immortal artifacts, in reality, the cultivation of the two was quite similar, probably on par with the Penglai Dao Lord.
"Alkaid, my friend."
From within the warship, a figure materialized: "I am Desolate Ruins."
Desolate Ruins.
The Deputy Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect.
A top-tier Dao Lord with a formidable reputation.
Out in the open, the Sun and Star Sect had no fewer than four top-tier Dao Lords.
Desolate Ruins, Thousand Realms, Myriad Calamities, and the Evergreen Dao Lord who perennially guarded the Gate of the Immortal Realm and would not leave unless the Sun and Star Sect faced catastrophic destruction.
However, this Desolate Ruins Dao Lord's strength seemed to fall half a step short compared to Thousand Realms and Myriad Calamities, who were striking at the forefront in the encirclement and suppression of the Slaughter Star Alliance. He was probably on the same level as Northern Sea Star's Supreme Purity Dao Lord and the Innate Demon Venerable.
But he also obviously carried semi-immortal artifact-level treasures, which allowed him to catch up despite slightly weaker cultivation, reaching the level of top-tier Dao Lords like Thousand Realms and Myriad Calamities, and even that of Ashes.
"So, it is Desolate Ruins Sect Master."
Alkaid greeted with a bow.
"Thank you, Alkaid, my friend, for your assistance. We will handle the rest. Once the fight is over, we shall have a good exchange with you and express the gratitude of the Sun and Star Sect from various aspects."
Desolate Ruins Dao Lord said.
Without the Time Dao Lord, Alkaid felt somewhat disappointed.
However, considering how heavily the Sun and Star Sect valued the inheritance of time and reincarnation, it was likely they wouldn't easily allow Dao Lords of these paths to go out and fight, to avoid breaking the lineage and needing to cultivate successors with the concerted effort of the entire sect, wasting a vast amount of resources and manpower.
If he really were to face that Time Dao Lord...
He'd probably have to wait until he entered the Sun and Star Sect's main base.
"Then I shall wait for you all to display your divine might."
Alkaid laughed and responded, planning to leave the battlefield.
But at this moment, this Dao Lord came directly to the front of the Mystical Light Boat, and with a virtual press of his hand, said, "Leave the Mystical Light Boat to us. This warship is the Slaughter Star Alliance's main base, and there might still be many traps left by the alliance inside. If we take it, we can more easily rid it of these threats, so as to prevent harming others."
Alkaid could not help but be somewhat astonished upon hearing this.
This semi-immortal artifact-grade warship was one he had suppressed, and although the people from the Sun and Star Sect had helped him by engaging the warship's original master, the Nine Palaces Dao Lord, still...
The people from the Sun and Star Sect wanted to just swallow up this warship, which seemed quite unseemly.
Or was it...
That as the overlord of this star domain, they had grown accustomed to seizing lavishly, adapted to others nodding and bowing to them, to the point where they assumed no one would ever resist them?
"This isn't right."
Alkaid spoke plainly.
"Oh? What is improper?"
Desolate Ruins Dao Lord asked with a faint smile.
Alkaid, however, turned his gaze toward the Sect Master, Golden Light Dao Lord: "Golden Light Dao Lord, do you think it's appropriate for me to hand this Flying Boat over to Desolate Ruins Dao Lord?"
Dao Lord?
These two words made Golden Light Dao Lord's eyebrows furrow.
The Sun and Star Sect had no position such as Supreme Elder; the Sect Master was the strongest amongst all Dao Lords of each generation.
He didn't ascend to Sect Master by waiting for the previous strongest Sect Master to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but rather by defeating the former Sect Master and taking the position by force.
And since he had taken the position of Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect...
No one else had dared to call him "Dao Lord" anymore.
Even if not "Dao Venerable," they should at least address him by his position as "Sect Master."
However, he did not express these thoughts.
The Alkaid before him was probably a traveler from another star domain, oblivious to what his position as the Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect represented. He saw no need to quibble over trivialities with him.
"You did put in a lot of effort to take down this Mystical Light Boat, and I will calculate your contribution and advance your order for ascension. However, it was also thanks to Thousand Realms and Myriad Calamities and others for holding Nine Palaces back that allowed you to bring this Flying Boat before me. This is something you cannot deny," said the Golden Light Dao Lord, waving his hand. "Now, hand it over to Desolate Ruins. Then, let's deal with these loose ends. Of course, if you're tired, you can just watch from the side. After all, they are but six dying grasshoppers struggling in vain."
From the words of the Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect, Alkaid sensed an indescribable arrogance.
But upon closer thought, it made sense.
Since Dao Venerable Huan Yin founded the Sun and Star Sect, it had always been the overlord of this starry sky.
During this period, although countless rebellious forces and challengers had arisen, none had been able to really shake their dominant position.
For millions of years, one generation after another of Dao Lords ascended from the Sun and Star Sect, totaling thousands in all. The outside world was ever-changing, with countless forces rising and falling, and countless Dao Lords living and dying, but the Sun and Star Sect had always existed.
They remained a powerful and unshakable presence in this region.
Under such circumstances, being a member of the Sun and Star Sect, what's wrong with being a bit haughty?
Especially the Golden Light Dao Lord, possessing three mighty semi-immortal artifacts and near invincible strength, combined with numerous advantages, naturally looked down upon any other cultivator.
Even those Dao Lords who were his equals.
"Heh, very well."
Alkaid had initially planned to accompany Golden Light Dao Lord back to the Sun and Star Sect and then make his move on the Time Dao Lord of the sect.
Could it be considered...
A contest of the Dao?
But now...
"I'd prefer to hand it over to Sect Master Golden Light personally."
Alkaid said with a smile.
"I appreciate the thought."
The Golden Light Dao Lord didn't show surprise but simply extended his hand with indifference.
It was quite common for a Dao Lord from outside to try to make an impression in front of him by presenting treasures.
As Sect Master, he didn't mind showing his own kindness to those below him to win their hearts.
"Dao Venerable ah."
Alkaid approached the Sun and Star Sect's Sect Master and looked at him, genuinely expressing his admiration.
The Golden Light Dao Lord smiled slightly.
So what if it's a Dao Lord from afar?
Look, he's learning quite fast, isn't he?
However, another Divine Sense echoed immediately afterward.
"Since when can any Tom, Dick, or Harry take liberties with the name of Dao Venerable? Even daring to pose as one to the outside world. I reckon that if Huan Yin Dao Venerable knew this in the Immortal Realm, he would be so angry that he'd slap all you unworthy descendants to death from the Lower Realm."
Upon hearing these words, the Golden Light Dao Lord's face changed instantly.
"Alkaid, you..."
"Boom!"
The Void shook!
An unprecedentedly powerful Great Void Path, under the lever of some Semi-Immortal Artifacts...
Even exceeding the Semi-Immortal Artifact level powers, descended with a thunderous force, coalescing.
The terrifying tremors and roars immediately made the Deputy Sect Master of the Desolate Ruins, who was a Void Dao Lord, and another Void Dao Lord in the ranks, including several other Void Dao Lords who were following Zhuan He Dao Lord in pursuit, shake violently in their hearts.
In their faint perception, they seemed to see a colossal entity, like an ancient fierce deity, or a prehistoric behemoth, riding the waves of the Void, rolling up a tsunami of violent annihilation.
The intensity of such a force almost made all the Dao Lords in the vicinity who cultivated the Void Path unable to breathe, with even their thoughts seeming to come to a standstill.
"How dare you!"
As the Golden Light Dao Lord's Divine Sense erupted with anger, a Great Void Technique formed instantly and violently smashed onto his body.
Great Void Technique!
An attack of Immortal Technique level!
It could definitely be used to fight and kill Immortals!
Yet, such a blow that could shrink the Void and shatter it, right before it could tear apart the Golden Light Dao Lord, was suddenly blocked by a Treasure Mirror that surged forth from his body.
The Treasure Mirror released a radiant flood of light that constantly cleansed the shattering onslaught formed by the Great Void Technique shaking the Great Dao of the Void, actually managing to wash away the power of this Immortal Technique.
Despite the Treasure Mirror's light being mostly extinguished in the process, it directly protected the Golden Light Dao Lord under Alkaid's Immortal Technique attack.
"Hmm!?"
Alkaid was somewhat surprised.
Did this Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect really possess such a treasure?
It could block an attack of Immortal Technique level?
In contrast to Alkaid's surprise, the Golden Light Dao Lord was thunderously furious, "You're courting death!"
The next moment, he aimed a virtual hand at Alkaid and lightly tapped, the Semi-Immortal Artifact in his hand gleamed brilliantly, effortlessly stirring the boiling Streaming Light Dao, which in an instant turned into an intense light capable of vaporizing, melting everything.
Such a swift and fierce counterattack was something that ordinary Dao Lords simply couldn't withstand. Without any other life-saving treasures, they would definitely fall on the spot, essentially being killed by a single slap from the Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect.
Unfortunately...
Alkaid didn't even glance at it.
A shadow of a pagoda emerged above his head, directly blocking the terrifying surge of the Streaming Light, dissolving it, and he once again led the Great Void Path, with a second Great Void Technique immediately following and smashing down.
Where the Dao Technique passed, the Void was obliterated, all foundations of the Dao sustained by the Void erased.
What should have been erased as well, was the Golden Light Dao Lord himself.
At this moment, the Dao Lord finally realized the danger.
The counterattack power of an Immortal Technique level was one of the most formidable kill moves for any Dao Lord.
Even as the Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect, he absolutely couldn't withstand such attacks bombarding him in succession.
Immediately, a painting unfurled behind him, seemingly creating something out of nothing, the power of Streaming Light Dao surged out, and he led it towards the Great Void Technique.
This...
Again, a Semi-Immortal Artifact.
As he unveiled this Semi-Immortal Artifact, it seemed as if there was some kind of miraculous object burning inside, elevating the might of the Streaming Light to its peak, and fleetingly, Alkaid sensed a hint of "Immortal Venerable" level power.
He was immediately reminded of the Great Destruction Divine Talisman that the Destruction Divine Venerable once took out on the Northern Sea Star.
This power...
It should be called a Great Streaming Light Divine Talisman, right?
As this foundational power emerged, the clash at the scene directly escalated to an Immortal Technique level fight.
The head-on collision between the Streaming Light Dao and Great Void Path visibly formed a Void Surge in the starry space, waves after waves sweeping in all directions, destroying everything within the span of the stars.
The Desolate Ruins Dao Lord, who had wanted to come to the Golden Light Dao Lord's aid, and the other Dao Lords felt the explosive torrent of this terrifying flood, and their faces turned pale.
"Retreat!"
Twelve Dao Lords!
Without exception, including those who had just arrived at the scene like Zhuan He Dao Lord, they all retreated from the battlefield as fast as possible, distancing themselves.
Such an Immortal Technique level confrontation was simply not something they, as Dao Lords, could be involved in.
Watching from a distance, Zhuan He Dao Lord lost his composure and exclaimed in shock.
"This... this is a battle of Dao Venerables!"
