Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 429 - 415: Fear

Time Torrent.

Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

Both Dao Techniques were unleashed simultaneously.

Under the enhancement of the Time Torrent, four strands of Great Annihilation Sword Qi tore through the void, intertwining into a net that surged towards Jing Hong True Monarch.

The sudden onslaught caused a change in Jing Hong True Monarch's expression.

Especially when he sensed the ripples of the Great Path of Destruction emanating from the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Dao Technique Perfection!?"

After the Sword of the Void and Void Blink, both Perfection Level Dao Techniques, he had now demonstrated a third Perfection Level Dao Technique!

This particular Dao Technique also seemed to be amplified by other techniques, releasing a total of four in one go.

The Great Annihilation Sword Qi belonged to the inherently aggressive Great Path of Destruction.

Although it was somewhat inferior to the Blade of the Void in head-on attacks, it was formidable with four surges at once.

The network formed by the four Sword Qis completely sealed off his surrounding space.

If he didn't exert all his strength...

He couldn't block it!

Jing Hong True Monarch instantly arrived at this realization.

"Impressive."

The True Monarch sincerely admired, rapidly flipping through a superior-grade Dao Artifact book in his hands, "Life and destruction, existence and void, these are all cycles of the world, with creation and annihilation, there is everlasting perseverance..."

Almost while he used the power of the Origin Dao to control and erode the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, Alkaid had already noticed that the influence of the Origin Dao on the Great Void Path was weakening.

The next moment, the Limitless Sword vibrated, forcefully breaking free from the interference of the Origin Dao.

With the disturbance gone, the Great Void Path exhibited unprecedented flexibility and sharpness.

Before Jing Hong True Monarch could completely crush the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, the Sword of the Void was already following through, slashing down and fiercely tearing through the blockade formed by the Origin Dao, striking Jing Hong Dao Lord's body.

That smooth, swift...

"It's truth."

Alkaid quickly realized something.

This was because the Origin Dao had just recognized the Great Void Path as the foundation of all paths, causing it to inherently submit when the Great Void Path slashed towards the Origin Dao, thus allowing the Sword of the Void to cut through irresistibly.

Seeing himself struck, Jing Hong True Monarch conjured a transparent sphere above his head, which slightly delayed the sharpness of the Great Void Sword.

Immediately thereafter, his figure turned into streaming light, shooting instantaneously thousands of miles away.

This scene caused Gu Li and Bu Zhou True Monarch, watching from afar, to simultaneously change their expressions.

"How could this be..."

"Senior Brother seems... to be at a disadvantage!?"

Bu Zhou True Monarch's face showed disbelief, "Impossible! This must be Senior Brother's tactic of retreating in order to advance!"

Gu Li didn't speak, but his gaze towards Alkaid carried a hint of shock.

He knew Alkaid was strong.

In the Heavenly Dao Sect, he withstood the attack of him and Zhen Xuanyuan, killing the Supreme Elder of the Shattered Void Realm, Jing Yuntian.

However, just how strong he was remained a subjective judgment until now.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Confronting Jing Hong True Monarch, Alkaid had suppressed this powerful True Monarch rated among the top ten Dao Lord candidates, revealing his formidable strength...

Fully and genuinely displayed.

This young practitioner of merely a hundred years was actually standing at the very pinnacle of the Shattered Void Realm!?

...

On the battlefield.

Alkaid, seeing Jing Hong True Monarch reappear thousands of miles away, quickly identified the quality of the Dao Artifact on him.

"Streaming Light Dao Technique? And... a second superior-grade Dao Artifact!"

Superior-grade Dao Artifact!

Alkaid, who had battled with Eight Desolations Demon Lord, Dark Demon Lord, Jing Yuntian, and Gu Li, had never seen a superior-grade Dao Artifact displayed.

The only one with a superior-grade Dao Artifact was the chief Supreme Elder, Zhen Xuanyuan.

But now, Jing Hong possessed not just one superior-grade Dao Artifact but more than one, such opulence...

No wonder he could be the first powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

However...

"Dao Artifacts, I have them too."

Alkaid, with a flicker of Void Blink, instantly caught up to Jing Hong True Monarch, who had shot thousands of miles away, pressing down with a virtual hand, unleashing the Heaven-Sealing Stele, which had transformed into a superior-grade Dao Artifact.

A ripple of formlessness emanated from this superior-grade Dao Artifact, solidifying Jing Hong True Monarch in place, who was normally capable of traveling tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

Following that, the You Long Sword, guided by Divine Sense, like a nimble fish, surged through the tides of space, whipping up an unstoppable sharpness, slashing again towards Jing Hong True Monarch's body.

Under this terrifying sharpness, Jing Hong True Monarch rapidly flipped back through his Dao artifact book, and almost simultaneously, a mantra containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth echoed again, "Void the highest! Void the greatest! Void boundless! Void traceless..."

"Heh..."

Feeling the renewed disturbance to the Sword of the Void, Alkaid suddenly unleashed Time Torrent, shooting down another round of Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

But relying on the Origin Dao's influence on the Great Void Path, the effectiveness of the Heaven-Sealing Stele's seal on him also diminished significantly, allowing him to seize this opportunity, transform into streaming light, and shoot away thousands of miles within the blink of an eye, evading this round of deadly Sword Qi.

Since this area belonged to the Southern Region territory, to prevent these Perfection Level Dao Techniques from devastating tens of thousands of miles and flattening mountains and lands, Alkaid had to gesture, causing the four strands of Annihilation Sword Qi to collide and dissolve.

Then he forcedly executed Void Blink, catching up to the retreating Jing Hong True Monarch.

"The more we debate, the clearer the truth! Yet, Jing Hong True Monarch does not engage with me in debate but flees a thousand miles with the Light Dao, which does not conform to your Dao of Truth."

Alkaid waved a hand, and the Great Annihilation Sword Qi formed once more.

"It's clear there exists between us disagreements that are difficult to reconcile. If we continue to argue, we might eventually discern right from wrong, but the process won't be overnight. In the course of this debate, the Dao Techniques we unfold might just turn the entire Southern Region into a barren wasteland. Therefore, let's cease fire for now and sit down to talk it over later."

Jing Hong True Monarch once again used the Light Dao to create distance.

At the same time, he used the Truth Dao to interfere with the Great Void Path to prevent him from using Void Blink to approach.

Seeing this, Alkaid paused to think for a moment, then stopped.

"Jing Hong True Monarch, a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect, actually threatens me, the Sect Leader, with the Southern Region? Truly an eye-opener,"

Alkaid scoffed.

With the Great Void Path being interfered with by the Truth Dao, any of his Void category Dao Techniques and use of Dao Artifacts were far less effective.

And once he stopped using the Great Void Path, relying only on the power of the Great Path of Destruction, he could not catch up to Jing Hong True Monarch, who still possessed the Streaming Light Dao Escape Skill.

Perhaps with the power of the Supreme Human Emperor, he could have stuck it out with Jing Hong True Monarch and worn him down to death.

But...

Don't forget, there were also Gu Li and Bu Zhou, two True Monarchs, watching intensely from the sidelines.

Although these two were not on the same level as Jing Hong True Monarch, nor even comparable to Zhen Xuanyuan, one should never underestimate the Shattered Void.

If it really came to blows...

It was still uncertain who would end up victorious.

"I'm merely stating a situation that is bound to occur. Once a full-scale war breaks out, neither of us will be able to stop. Yet, this war can be avoided through negotiation. If Sect Leader Alkaid insists on fighting, then all the faults of the destruction in the Southern Region will lie with you,"

Jing Hong True Monarch stated gravely.

"It seems you are mistaken about something. It was you who came to provoke us in the Southern Region, but now... you want to blame me? What twisted logic!"

Alkaid said, as the Dao Technique of the Supreme Human Emperor began to circulate.

A terrifying energy started to revive within his body.

After only a moment of Perception, Jing Hong True Monarch recognized what it was, his face slightly changed: "Origin Dao! Supreme Human Emperor! You've actually cultivated this Dao Technique!? "

"Though the process of arguing isn't overnight, I believe that right is right, wrong is wrong, and the ultimate truth will definitely stand by my side!"

Alkaid declared resolutely.

"Why must it come to this."

Jing Hong True Monarch also produced an item.

It similarly emitted a dense Dao charm.

This was the essence of the Great Dao.

Similar to the Demon Saint's blood once used by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor, but even more potent than the Demon Saint's blood.

"If we really continue to fight like this, the situation might escalate to an uncontrollable level, "

Jing Hong True Monarch said.

"Let's see about that."

Alkaid also revealed a bracelet in his hand: "Today, I must thoroughly argue this truth with Jing Hong True Monarch."

As a certain power within the bracelet was activated, a tremendously huge aura escaped from it.

"True Dragon Origin of the Great Void!"

Jing Hong True Monarch's scalp tingled.

This...

What kind of person is this? How can his hidden cards be more than those of a Dao Lord disciple!?

"It's another Origin Dao, and he was granted the True Dragon Origin of the Great Void... Brother, this Alkaid is definitely a puppet thoroughly cultivated by Penglai Dao Lord!"

Bu Zhou True Monarch spoke emphatically, "He is supported by Penglai- Dao Lord, sneaking into our Heavenly Dao Sect to seize the foundation painstakingly built by countless of our people!"

"You guys leave first,"

Jing Hong True Monarch said solemnly, waving at Bu Zhou True Monarch.

"Brother, you must not let him go, for those who are not from our sect will have different intentions. If we really let him continue to rise within the Heavenly Dao Sect, and even become the Sect Leader, then the Heavenly Dao Sect will no longer be the Heavenly Dao Sect, but will turn into a Sub-sect of the Penglai Immortal Sect"

Bu Zhou True Monarch shouted, "We will become the sinners of the Heavenly Dao Sect, losing all its foundation. Even if we die later, we will have no face to meet our ancestors. Therefore, even if we have to fight to the death, we must not allow this to happen. Brother, you..."

"Shut up!"

Jing Hong True Monarch shouted, forcibly interrupting Bu Zhou True Monarch's words.

"Brother!?"

Bu Zhou True Monarch wanted to say more, but Gu Li stepped forward, pulling him back and whispered, "Let's leave quickly!"

His tone carried a hint of fear: "Can't you see? Jing Hong True Monarch no longer wants to continue fighting. If it really comes to a fight to the death, I fear we all might perish here..."

"Are we just going to watch Alkaid, who is clearly a pawn pushed forward by Penglai Dao Lord, swagger around in our Heavenly Dao Sect, taking over the foundation we have built over so many years? If we allow this to happen, I will never rest in peace even in death!"

Bu Zhou True Monarch said unwillingly.

But Gu Li knew very well why he said this.

They are millennia-old foxes, why play the innocent?

Bu Zhou True Monarch would rather see Jing Hong True Monarch and Alkaid destroy each other, just to clear the path for Zong Wenxian within the sect.

This ungrateful person...

It was disdainful to be in league with him.

His expression suddenly turned cold: "Can you handle it? Then go ahead! I will no longer participate in the dispute between Zong Wenxian and Sect Leader Alkaid from now on."

With that said, he was already leaving, heading far beyond the Southern Region.
