Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The Battle of the Venerable Dao!

Immortal Technique, itself the power of the Venerable Dao Level!

That Zhuan He Dao Lord would cry out in such alarm was only to be expected.

The only thing that the Slaughter Star Alliance Hierarch failed to comprehend was why Alkaid, who should belong to the Sun and Star Sect...

...suddenly started fighting against the Sun and Star Sect?

And, furthermore, why was he displaying such formidable strength!?

However, obviously no one could offer him an explanation.

In the center of the raging Void Torrent that made all the Dao Lords recoil in fright, Alkaid, standing beneath the Heavenly Abyss Tower, remained unharmed.

As the aftermath of the collision of Immortal Techniques had yet to subside, he abruptly reached out. With a realm reaching the Immortal Venerable Level and the amplification of two Immortal Artifacts, he forcefully shook the Great Void Path, instantly conjuring another strike of the Great Void Technique!

"How can this be!?"

Upon seeing Alkaid react so swiftly and unleash a third Immortal Technique Level offensive, Golden Light Dao Lord finally revealed a look of terror in his eyes.

Yet he still had various trump cards at his disposal. By merging and amplifying them, he managed to muster a strike not inferior to the Immortal Technique's Great Streaming Light Technique, clashing with the Great Void Technique with a fierce intensity.

The undiminished energy ripples layered one upon another, sweeping out in all directions.

However...

If the third Great Void Technique wasn't enough!

Then there would be a fourth!

If the fourth wasn't enough, then the fifth!

With the Heavenly Abyss Tower negating all damage, Alkaid focused all his Divine Sense into manipulating the Great Void Path; the fourth Great Void Technique almost immediately followed as soon as the previous strike weakened, and then smashed down.

At this, fear finally transformed into terror in the eyes of the Golden Light Dao Lord.

"This kind of power!? How do you possess this kind of power!?"

The Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect exhausted all his abilities, summoning all the methods at his disposal.

Semi-Immortal Artifacts and life-preserving treasures were deployed together, producing an attack comparable to the fire capable of destroying Dao.

But an attack of such magnitude...

Obviously could not withstand the full might of the Great Void Technique.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Great Void Technique, with the force of annihilating all opposition, destroyed all the resistance put up by the Golden Light Dao Lord and continued to pound upon the Starlight Dao Map he had conjured.

Amidst violent tremors, the Starlight Dao Map rapidly dimmed and lost its mystical sheen.

However, before the Golden Light Dao Lord had any chance to catch his breath...

The fifth Great Void Technique was already forming and ruthlessly crashing down.

All at once, the Golden Light Dao Lord felt an indefinable cold shiver run down his spine.

Immortal Technique!

It represented the domain of the Dao Venerable!

Ordinary people wishing to display such techniques either needed the strength of a truly invincible Dao Lord along with external aid, or they had to draw upon their ancestors' blessings, wielding Talisman Records left behind by Dao Venerables, to exhibit the might of Immortal Techniques.

But how many of such ultimate Talisman Records could there be?

And how many treasures capable of assisting an invincible Dao Lord in executing Immortal Technique Level attacks!? Displaying Immortal Technique Level attacks two or three times, or even just once or twice, was already the limit for everyone, including the invincible Dao Lords. Five times... Such strength...

"Dao Venerable! Dao Venerable! You are a Dao Venerable!"

In an instant, the Golden Light Dao Lord felt as if his scalp was exploding.

His eyes widened in shock, staring fixatedly at the figure amidst the energy torrent who was effortlessly maneuvering the Great Void Path and easily condensing one after another Immortal Technique Level attack.

Dao Venerable!

Dao Venerable!

A true Dao Venerable!

One who could face a hundred alone, dominating an era, regarding common Dao Lords as nothing— the most powerful existence!

If the opponent wished, he could easily create a Universal Overlord Level force on the same level or even more powerful than the Sun and Star Sect!

And now, he, the self-proclaimed "Dao Venerable" Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect...

...actually provoked and enraged a true Dao Venerable roaming the star spaces!?

"No! No! I beg for mercy... Our Sun and Star Sect is the lineage of Dao Venerable Huan Yin, Dao Venerable please show mercy..."

The Golden Light Dao Lord couldn't care about anything else anymore, his Divine Sense exploded forth, seeking the slightest chance for survival.

"Content with complacency and deserving to be awakened only to deference after arrogance... It's too late."

As soon as Alkaid finished speaking, the Great Void Technique pressed down, and the Sect Leader of the Sun and Star Sect saw the Void around him violently shatter.

"No!"

The Golden Light Dao Lord tried desperately to escape and to resist, but the Great Void Technique not only had an overwhelmingly powerful "Repulsion" effect against the manifestation of other Great Daos, it also merged the scattered space into one.

Effectively, it was akin to sealing off all the countermeasures of the other Dao Lords, not even giving them a chance to flee, but instead dragging them in for a relentless beating.

In such a situation, the Golden Light Dao Lord, unable to withstand the Great Void Technique, could only watch helplessly as he struggled in vain, getting closer and closer to the force shattering the Void, until finally...

His entire body, along with the crumbling Void, was reduced to nothingness.

...

On the other side of the starry sky.

The Desolate Ruins Dao Lord and Zhuan He Dao Lord, having retreated some distance away, observed the successive clashes of Immortal Techniques from two beings comparable to the Venerable Dao Level, and were utterly filled with dread.

"Dao Venerable! Dao Venerable! How did we manage to offend a Dao Venerable!? From where did such an expert appear!?"

The Desolate Ruins Dao Lord's eyes were filled with panic and unease.

And Zhuan He Dao Lord, who was supposed to be their opponent, was equally filled with fear.

```

"Alkaid... how could he be a Dao Venerable? I... can't even count as a top Dao Lord, yet I dared to chase and kill a Dao Venerable with just a few Dao Lords?"

In his horror, he suddenly felt he had been very brave.

Where on earth had he gotten the courage to promise the Alliance Hierarch that he would chase and kill a Dao Venerable?

"No!"

It was also at this moment, in the midst of the vast and ever-dissipating torrent of energy spreading in all directions, that a wave of panic-stricken and desperate shouts came through.

This fluctuation of Divine Sense...

"It's Golden Light!"

"Sect Master!?"

Both Zhuan He Dao Lord and Desolate Ruins Dao Lord's faces changed drastically at the same time.

In the critical moment, despite the fear in the heart of this Deputy Sect Master...

Over the years, they had casually given the title of Dao Venerable to those invincible Dao Lords, and even top Dao Lords, which had ultimately reduced people's fear and awe of 'Dao Venerables,' these existences who once intimidated the ages.

Perceiving that the Sect Leader was in danger, and with the energy collisions seemingly beginning to wane, the Deputy Sect Master clenched his teeth and said, "Our Sect Leader is also a Dao Venerable. If this Dao Venerable can oppress our Sect Leader and put him in danger, he must also pay a price. If we join forces and strike, slaying this fiend, we will show the world that even a Dao Venerable can be boldly killed by our Sun and Star Sect! Completely shattering all the illusory hopes of those with malicious intentions!"

Having said this, he was the first to rush toward the battlefield.

Seeing Desolate Ruins Dao Lord make a move, the remaining eleven Dao Lords hesitated for a moment but then closely followed him.

The Dao Lords of the Sun and Star Sect were, after all, more united than those of the Slaughter Star Alliance.

If this kind of scene were to occur within the Slaughter Star Alliance, in the end, if there would be one or two core members daring enough to risk their lives attacking a Dao Venerable alongside Desolate Ruins Dao Lord, it would be impressive; the rest would certainly choose to protect their own interests and scatter.

And indeed, this was the case.

Zhuan He Dao Lord, feeling the terrifying aura dissipating within the Destruction Torrent, didn't even harbor thoughts of looting amidst the chaos.

A Dao Venerable...

"Let's go!"

Zhuan He Dao Lord gave a low shout, "Quick, inform the Alliance Hierarch, we need to leave fast!"

Of course, he also conveniently added, "The Sun and Star Sect has offended a Dao Venerable, they will certainly suffer heavy losses this time. We will let them fight each other to a mutual defeat before cleaning up the aftermath. If we are fortunate, after this battle, the entire Sun and Star Sect will be completely erased from history!"

The other Dao Lords also came to their senses, pushing their Domain of the Great Dao of Space to the limit, and rapidly retreated.

However, worried that Zhuan He Dao Lord and the others would not be able to cope with Alkaid, Nine Palaces Dao Lord had already dragged the battlefield in their direction, and in just a moment, he caught sight of Zhuan He Dao Lord hastily retreating.

Upon meeting, he immediately inquired, "What happened over there? That terrifying momentum... has Golden Light arrived? Did you engage in battle?"

"It wasn't us, it was Alkaid!"

Zhuan He Dao Lord replied without any hesitation, quickly saying, "Now is not the time for discussion, hurry, leave this place!"

"Alkaid!?"

Nine Palaces Dao Lord was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't he allied with the Sun and Star Sect? Attacking us, the Slaughter Star Alliance, was to curry favor with the Sun and Star Sect, wasn't it? Why would he clash with Golden Light?"

"I don't understand it either."

Zhuan He Dao Lord responded with a bitter smile.

He had no idea why Alkaid, who had shown ample goodwill towards the Sun and Star Sect, would engage in a fierce fight upon meeting with Golden Light Dao Lord. He could only guess, "Perhaps Golden Light Dao Lord was worried that Alkaid Dao Lord... the emergence of a Dao Venerable would threaten his interests and rule, and took the opportunity to eliminate him?"

Nine Palaces Dao Lord had an expression that seemed to say, "Are you joking with me?"

With the major trouble of the Slaughter Star Alliance unresolved, what kind of thoughts must have gone through Golden Light's head for him to exclude a top Dao Lord Level combatant?

But...

It wasn't impossible either.

As the Sect Master of the Sun and Star Sect, if this Dao Lord named Alkaid spoke even slightly disrespectfully to him, it could have turned friends into enemies...

Wait a minute!?

"A Dao Venerable!?"

Nine Palaces Dao Lord suddenly looked up, "A Dao Venerable!?"

"A Dao Venerable!"

Zhuan He Dao Lord nodded emphatically, "Alkaid... is a Dao Venerable! Just like Golden Light Dao Lord… No, he is definitely a Dao Venerable even more powerful than Golden Light Dao Lord!"

"How... how could this be!"

Nine Palaces Dao Lord felt his thought processes were lagging.

The mysterious Dao Lord who had appeared out of nowhere, hoping to please the Sun and Star Sect...

How could he have become a Dao Venerable? A person of Dao Venerable Level, what kind of ascension spot couldn't he obtain, to need to ingratiate himself with the Sun and Star Sect?

Or perhaps...

He had come specifically for the Sun and Star Sect?

"Alliance Hierarch, there is no time to delay, we must leave as quickly as possible!"

Zhuan He Dao Lord urged promptly.

And when Nine Palaces Dao Lord learned that Alkaid might truly be a Dao Venerable, he too felt a hint of fear.

Even though Alkaid's action against the Sun and Star Sect seemed to naturally align him with the Slaughter Star Alliance, their own prior treatment of him...

Had been far from respectful, with both parties even engaging in a fierce battle.

In the end, the Slaughter Star Alliance had a total of four Dao Lords fall at his hands.

Furthermore, with a Dao Venerable targeting the Sun and Star Sect, presumably aiming for the Gate of the Immortal Realm,

In such a circumstance, both sides had already turned hostile.

The might of a Dao Venerable was undeniable...

But neither the Sun and Star Sect nor the Slaughter Star Alliance was a pushover; to consume either side, even with the power of a Dao Venerable, was bound to result in significant damage to their vital forces.

With that thought, Nine Palaces Dao Lord's eyes flickered, "Retreat! Let's leave first and discuss later! In the current situation, one misstep could lead to an irreversible doom, but... we're not leaving completely... With such a rare opportunity, let's first allow that Alkaid Dao Venerable and the Sun and Star Sect to injure each other severely, then we'll seize the chance to act!"
