Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Chapter 513 Fear



```

"Wait for the right moment to act?"

Zhuan He Dao Lord hesitated for a moment.

The continuous surge of the Destruction Torrent from Alkaid and Jin Guang's battle was vivid in his mind.

That...

was not a force that ordinary Dao Lords could contend with!

A regular Dao Lord would die upon impact, hurt upon touch.

However, he thought it very dangerous—the elders fighting could easily lead to the death of the third. Yet, he also knew that this situation presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Slaughter Star Alliance.

"No matter the outcome, let's leave first,"

Zhuan He Dao Lord ultimately decided, to make the final decision based on how the situation developed.

The scores of Dao Lords from the Slaughter Star Alliance had the upper hand in the fierce battle with the Starlight, Dark Moon, and the Heavenly Patrol teams. Even if they had to kill and annihilate all eighteen Dao Lords from these three major teams, it was only a matter of time.

Withdrawing now was naturally at their leisure.

Before long, the remaining thirty or so Dao Lords from the Slaughter Star Alliance had completely retreated.

The sudden release of pressure left the three teams, which had been desperately holding on despite being outnumbered three to one, in a daze.

To say nothing of the other Dao Lords—even top-tier Dao Lords like the Thousand Realms and Myriad Calamities felt a sense of survival after a catastrophe.

"We... held on?"

"We survived, we're alive..."

"That's the fluctuation from the battle... Reinforcements are here! The Sect Master is coming to save us with the elite forces of our sect!"

If it weren't for the knowledge that reinforcements led by the Sect Master were fast approaching, combined with some Dao Lords from the Slaughter Star Alliance being somewhat life-preserving and their attacks conservative, they couldn't have possibly held out until now.

And now...

"We won!"

After the relief came exultation, the survivors from the three small teams, now reduced to only eight, couldn't help but cheer, releasing their joy with this outburst.

It was the Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord, leader of the Heavenly Patrol, who practiced related Dao Techniques, not only paying attention to the changes on this battlefield but also to the other one.

Although the eight surviving Dao Lords had just had a narrow escape and were in their weariest state...

"Something's wrong with the situation! That Alkaid Dao Lord... seems like neither friend nor foe!"

Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord spoke in a grave voice.

"Neither friend nor foe?"

Thousand Realms Dao Lord was momentarily stunned, "Out of the eleven Slaughter Star Alliance Dao Lords we killed, four were by his hand. He has been nothing but loyal to our Sun and Star Sect, how can he be neither friend nor foe?"

"He doesn't belong to the Slaughter Star Alliance, nor does he necessarily commit wholeheartedly to our Sun and Star Sect... perhaps, he just wants to gain our trust, and then..."

Before Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord could finish, he suddenly perceived something: "Where is the Sect Master!? I clearly felt the Sect Master's presence when he burst forth with all his might just now; why can't I feel him anymore?"

After saying so, he quickly sensed the ongoing battle on the other side and urgently said, "Quick, let's rush to aid the Sect Master!"

"Heavenly Evolution, are you joking? You're not suggesting that everything Alkaid has done was solely to gain our trust in order to get close to the Sect Master and assassinate him, are you?"

Myriad Calamities Dao Lord waved his hand weakly, "What kind of person is the Sect Master? A Venerable Dao Level existence who stands above invincible Dao Lords, someone who once single-handedly suppressed the entire rebellion within our Sun and Star Sect! No matter how capable Alkaid is, it's impossible for him to assassinate the Sect Master!"

The others nodded in agreement.

They had already run out of steam under the relentless siege of the Slaughter Star Alliance, having exhausted their trump cards to hold out until now, and at this point they had no desire to move.

Nor did they want to act hastily based on Heavenly Evolution's absurd speculation.

They couldn't afford to exert themselves further.

"Although it's hard to believe, the information we have points to that reality. Didn't you see the Slaughter Star Alliance retreat? This proves that they think the Sect Master might have been injured fighting with Alkaid, and therefore the Sect Master needs our help,"

Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord said hastily.

"It may just be a temporary dispute over interests. Alkaid probably wants a slot to ascend to the Immortal Realm. We could just persuade the Sect Master to give him a slot when the time comes,"

Thousand Realms Dao Lord said.

"That might be difficult. I observed that Alkaid has cultivated the Great Void Path, and the quota for the Great Void Path has been given to the Deputy Sect Master of Desolate Ruins... Could it be that this is what started the fight?"

"Desolate has reached the position of Deputy Sect Master, holding great power. If we ask him to delay one cycle and enter the Immortal Realm in the next, he might not refuse."

Another Dao Lord chimed in.

Seeing this, Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord couldn't help saying, "Everyone, the Sect Master needs our help..."

As the several Dao Lords were discussing, Myriad Calamities Dao Lord finally returned his gaze to Heavenly Evolution and sighed, "Can't you see? We... no longer have the strength to go to the Sect Master's aid! The Sect Master has Desolate and the other Elders there. Even if Alkaid intends to rebel, he can be easily suppressed... and if he cannot be suppressed, it just proves one thing—he... is far stronger than we imagined. In that case, what use is it for a bunch of us, with hardly any fighting strength left, to go there?"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord was momentarily stunned.

In his urgency, he had forgotten this point.

If they did not go, they could pretend to be ignorant, or even take the time to regain their combat strength to prepare for the coming changes.

At worst, they could preserve some vitality for the Sun and Star Sect.

But if they went over...

If Alkaid was indeed powerful enough to scare off the Slaughter Star Alliance and even dominate the Sect Master and his group, what would they do then, go or not go?

Just at this moment, a strong ripple of the Great Dao spread, and amidst the vagueness, the few Dao Lords thought they heard the lament of the Great Dao.

This was...

Had a Dao Lord fallen!?

```

Previously, their three battle teams had been relentlessly clashing with the Slaughter Star Alliance. No less than twenty Dao Lords had perished from both sides, and the tremors in the Great Dao, caused by the fallen Dao Lords, would from time to time disturb them, leaving them no respite to pay any heed to it.

But now, their fight with the Slaughter Star Alliance had temporarily ceased, yet Dao Lords were still falling.

Especially since...

"It's not the Great Void Path!"

The Thousand Realms Dao Lord looked somewhat embarrassed.

He was a cultivator of the Great Void Path, as was Alkaid.

At the moment, the endlessly trembling Dao was not that of the Great Void Path, which could only mean one thing...

"The Nirvana Great Dao, it's Elder Featherflight."

Another Dao Lord murmured softly.

At the Sect Master's battlefield...

A Dao Lord had actually fallen!?

"There's been more than one Dao Lord that has perished over there."

At this moment, a Dao Lord skilled in the art of divination suddenly said, "Under the Sect Master's leadership, a total of thirteen Dao Lords came to aid us, intending to coordinate inside and out to thoroughly annihilate the core forces of the Slaughter Star Alliance, scattering our biggest rivals within this cycle. But now, I can only sense seven auras..."

As soon as the words were spoken, another tremor from the Great Dao was felt.

However, due to the numerous fallen Dao Lords during this period and the incessant tremors of various Great Daos, everyone had almost become numb to it. If it weren't for the fact that several Dao Lords were relatively close at the moment, and were intentionally perceiving it, they would hardly be able to detect such tremors.

"Six auras..."

This Dao Lord corrected his statement.

"How is this possible!?"

The Thousand Realms Dao Lord had considered the possibility of an unexpected turn at the Sect Master's side, but he could never have imagined it to be this severe.

Out of thirteen Dao Lords, only six remained?

This loss was no less significant than the dozens of Dao Lords from their three squads who had fiercely collided with the Slaughter Star Alliance.

"Commanders, what should we do next?"

The remaining Dao Lords looked toward the three commanders.

The expressions of the three commanders fluctuated for a moment.

The thirteen elite led by the Sect Master couldn't withstand the foreign Dao Lord known as Alkaid; if they were to go...

They were likely to simply meet their deaths.

But...

"How is this possible! How could Alkaid be so strong? The Sect Master... The Sect Master is a Dao Venerable, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the universe..."

The Thousand Realms Dao Lord was unwilling to accept the reality.

"It's just as we speculated earlier."

The Heavenly Evolution Dao Lord succinctly said, "A sneak attack."

"If it was a sneak attack, then that explains why the Desolate Ruins Sect Master and the others didn't flee!"

The Myriad Calamities Dao Lord stood up, speaking gravely, "We need to support the Desolate Ruins Sect Master! That Alkaid, by relying on a sneak attack, has murdered the Sect Master, and even used some sort of strange artifacts to severely injure those around the Sect Master. His own strength isn't actually that formidable; hence, to this very moment, the Desolate Ruins Sect Master hasn't left but instead chose to fight to the death against him because they have hope of victory. If we go now, we can swiftly turn that hope into reality, executing this unforgivable criminal on the spot and restoring the name of our Sun and Star Sect!"

Despite their immense exhaustion, the honor of the sect and the confidence instilled from countless years of dominance allowed the other Dao Lords to readily respond.

"Let's go!"

"No one can challenge the majesty of our Sun and Star Sect!"

"Our Sun and Star Sect has stood across this starry sky for millions of years. What kind of great tempests haven't we weathered? Yet over the years, we have borne and surpassed each calamity. Today, the Sun and Star Sect still reigns supreme in this starry sky! It is so now, and it will be so in the future!"

Presently, the eight Dao Lords, without any exceptions, quickly made their way towards another battlefield in the starry sky.

The most powerful core of a sect is its inner spirit.

The Sun and Star Sect had shaped their formidable centripetal force with what outsiders might consider an "arrogant" attitude, allowing them to face even the greatest dangers with the belief that they would fight to the last moment.

It is precisely because of this belief that the Sun and Star Sect has always managed to stand firm at the pinnacle of this starry sky through countless tribulations.

Soon, the party of eight arrived at what they sensed should be the battlefield in the starry sky.

But here...

There seemed to be no presence of Dao Lords.

It was as if the fight had already ended, whether it was the Sun and Star Sect or Alkaid, everyone had left this battlefield.

"What's going on?"

The Myriad Calamities Dao Lord couldn't help but ask.

Thousand Realms and Heavenly Evolution, the two great Dao Lords, puzzled, quickly began to investigate.

But at that moment, it seemed another Dao Lord's fall had triggered yet another dispersion of the Great Dao's tremor.

The location of the tremor...

Was precisely in this starry sky!

At this moment, the Thousand Realms Dao Lord, as a Void Dao Lord, instantly sensed something amiss, "Something is wrong with this space..."

Nearly simultaneously, the space in front surged tumultuously. Following that, a figure, seemingly using a Forbidden Technique to break through some spatial constraint, agonizingly manifested a phantom. A powerful Divine Sense conveyed a desperate shout, "He is a Dao Venerable! Run!"
