Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 550 - 537: Showdown

Outside the Heavenly Dao Sect.

One by one, Dao Lords had already gathered completely.

Alkaid glanced around and noticed two people were missing.

They were from the Three Immortal Martial Sects.

Without having to guess or ask, he knew what choice those two Dao Lords had made.

However, it didn't matter.

Alkaid had never felt that this battle relied on these Dao Lords.

"Dao Venerable..."

Bi Luo Dao Lord of the Heaven-reaching Sect stepped forward, wanting to explain something to Alkaid.

Alkaid, however, waved his hand dismissively and turned to Supreme Purity Dao Lord and others: "I will take the lead in this great battle while you all assist from the sidelines. Once you sense the No Light Alliance's collapse, intervene to stop as many Dao Lords as possible."

After speaking, he added, "Of course, once the No Light Alliance scatters in disarray, there will inevitably be a considerable number of Dao Lords fleeing. Use your discretion to block those who are vengeful by nature. As for those with decent character, block them if you can, but don't force the issue if you can't."

Seeing Alkaid already arranging for the aftermath of defeating the No Light Alliance, all the Dao Lords present were taken aback at the same time.

This...

Was he really not taking the No Light Alliance seriously at all?

That was a gathering of one hundred sixty-six Dao Lords!

In previous Dao conflicts, the least numbers of Dao Lords in one could be just over one hundred and sixty.

Yet in the mouth of Dao Venerable Alkaid, they seem no more than dry bones in a tomb, their heads ready to be sold and planted.

"Dao Venerable, the No Light Alliance is now fully prepared. Relying solely on you..."

Emperor Hui Dao Lord tried to say something but was directly interrupted by Alkaid: "Enough."

He calmly said, "If these one hundred sixty-six Dao Lords came from a single sect like the Eternal Life Sect, with cooperation among them, the same interests, and sufficient trust, it would indeed be somewhat difficult for me to conquer them. But an alliance hastily formed, and only for one month, where each Dao Lord has his own thoughts and calculates his own interests..."

He paused: "Ultimately, it is nothing but a rabble."

Many Dao Lords exchanged glances, unable to help but smile wryly in secret.

The No Light Alliance, gathering one hundred and sixty Dao Lords, was considered a rabble; so what were they, a group of barely over twenty Dao Lords?

"Let's go, No Light Alliance."

Alkaid soared into the air, heading straight for the exterior of the Northern Sea Star.

This time, he did not inform Penglai Dao Lord.

Penglai Dao Lord had guessed what Alkaid intended to do with these Dao Lords, but such behavior seemed to be illegal in the Chaotic Origin Realm.

She could only pretend not to know.

Therefore, the two did not fight side by side this time.

One hundred sixty-six Dao Lords actually established an alliance to confront him, Alkaid...

Unknowingly, he had also grown into a person considered a big boss by all Dao Lords.

Upon reflection, it felt somewhat strange.

He, a person who just wanted to enjoy life peacefully, had also received such treatment.

But, given the war between the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm...

He wanted to lie low, to truly enjoy his days as a Universe overlord.

But...

The situation did not allow it.

To have a better environment to lie low, he had to stand up and fight vigorously for survival, for the future.

...

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light broke through the sky.

Soon enough, Alkaid leading a group of Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths and several others had arrived outside the Northern Sea Star. After half a day's journey through a spatial node, another expanse of starscape unfolded before them, with Dao Artifact Grade warships already filling their view.

Aboard each warship were one or several Dao Lords.

And as Alkaid and his group arrived, the atmosphere among these Dao Lords obviously tightened.

Before long, Witch Enemy Dao Lord, the Alliance Hierarch of the No Light Alliance, led some sixty Dao Lords to step out and block Alkaid's path.

"Is this all the Dao Lords you've managed to summon in a month?"

Alkaid looked at Witch Enemy Dao Lord, who was leading the group: "Do you want more time to summon even more Dao Lords to ensure absolute certainty?"

These words caused Witch Enemy Dao Lord to pause slightly.

More time...

All the Dao Lords in the surrounding starry sky had already been summoned.

The remaining Dao Lords, though still numerous, were fearful of Alkaid's reputation as a Dao Venerable and unwilling to further engage in the conflict for the Northern Sea Star. Even if Alkaid gave him another ten or eight years, at most, he could persuade three to five more Dao Lords.

In a battle of this scale, even if there were three to five more Dao Lords, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that their side had gathered one hundred and sixty-six Dao Lords and had already earned the right to negotiate with Alkaid, the Dao Venerable.

It seemed that no matter how formidable Alkaid, the Dao Venerable was, even if he was reborn from an Immortal, he wouldn't dare to confront one hundred and sixty-six Dao Lords at the same time.

He came from the Eternal Life Sect, which also claimed to have powerful beings at the Venerable Dao Level, but when faced with the joint assassination of thirty to forty Dao Lords, they too had to avoid the sharp edge.

Although those Dao Venerables were somewhat lacking, the individuals he currently had with him nearly doubled the number of those thirty to forty Dao Lords, so they wouldn't lose much in a fight against a true Dao Venerable.

With this in mind, the top-tier Dao Lord took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, we respect your strength, but... what we seek is merely a chance to step through the Gate of the Immortal Realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm. I, along with numerous others here, have sought this all our lives; why do you insist on blocking our way? If Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, is willing to give us a chance, we are ready to offer a generous gift to thank you..."

"Enough."

Alkaid waved his hand to interrupt them.

Ascend to the Immortal Realm?

What would come of these Dao Lords if they went to the Immortal Realm?

Hunted by immortals from the nine great factions, fighting for a share of the spoils.

Mere prey delivered to their doorstep.

Therefore...

"I'll give you one last chance. I'll count to ten, and if you leave this place, I'll let bygones be bygones. In the future, if you must insist on ascending, you can look for other Gates of the Immortal Realm. If you no longer wish to ascend, you will still have tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years to live. With your Dao Lord Level cultivation, you can live well without needlessly sacrificing your lives. But if the time comes and you still don't retreat..."

Behind Alkaid, the shadow of the Great Dao Tower began to emerge, radiating a pressure that seemed to contain the Power of the Great Dao. This pressure seeped out from the shadow, causing a sensation of slowing thoughts, "No mercy will be shown in the slaughter."

Witch Enemy, the Dao Lord, along with many Dao Lords, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger upon hearing Alkaid's words.

After all, they were Dao Lords.

Beings at the pinnacle of the universe.

Not to mention there were as many as one hundred and sixty-six of them, they had graciously submitted and were willing to offer a generous gift for his concession, but how did he respond?

He didn't take the one hundred and sixty-six Dao Lords seriously at all!

Utter disregard!

Absolute disregard!

Some of the older Dao Lords, who would almost lose their chance to ascend if they missed this struggle for the Dao, even felt a blood-coursing desire to fight him, regardless of the outcome.

Even Witch Enemy, the top-tier Dao Lord, briefly harbored this thought in his mind.

But...

Upon carefully sensing the pressure emanating from the Great Dao Tower that Alkaid had revealed, the fervent anger that was almost ready to fight to the death immediately cooled down under the reality confronting them.

Too strong!

This Dao Venerable...

Was simply too strong!

Especially when he brought out this treasure that likely matched an Immortal Artifact Grade, it gave them the feeling that if they dared to charge at him, they would certainly meet their death.

Under this threat of death, the top-tier Dao Lord calmed down from his burning anger, "Alkaid, the Dao Venerable..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Alkaid had already begun counting.

"Ten."

"Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, spare those who can be spared. Even if you want the Human Race Dao Lords behind you to ascend smoothly, at most they will occupy more than half of the ascension spots. The remaining dozen or so places can be yielded to us, why waste them needlessly?"

"Nine."

"Must it come to this? On our side, we have no less than one hundred and sixty-six Dao Lords. We admit that no one can face you alone, but no matter how capable you are, if so many of us swarm you at once, it's not certain you could kill us all!"

"Eight."

"Alkaid, the Dao Venerable, even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider those behind you. By intimidating us this time, you've made enemies of us all. You surely can't avoid ascending, right? Once you've ascended to the Immortal Realm, leaving behind one hundred and sixty-six Venerable Dao Level adversaries, will the Ten Great Immortal Paths and your legacy have an easy time in the future? We..."

Witch Enemy, the top-tier Dao Lord, laced his speech with threat.

And almost as soon as he voiced his threats, Alkaid suddenly stopped counting, "You're right."

Witch Enemy was taken aback, thinking he had persuaded Alkaid. He was about to show relief when he heard Alkaid continue, "So, I really shouldn't have given you the chance of counting to ten to avoid future trouble... it's best to kill you all!"

No sooner had he finished speaking that the manifested Great Dao Tower shook violently while it gathered the Dao forces of the Void, Time, Destruction, Origin, Soul, and several others, violently slamming them towards Witch Enemy, the leading Dao Lord.

However, Witch Enemy had already anticipated Alkaid's sudden attack. Nearly the moment he unleashed the Great Dao Tower, the top-tier Dao Lord and leader of the No Light Alliance shouted, "Stop him!"

In an instant, sixty-one Dao Lords took action together.

Each Dao Lord used a Dao Technique that directly connected to their respective Great Dao.

The resonance between the Great Dao and Dao Techniques seemed to create a gigantic invisible network.

All the Power of the Great Dao circulated within this network, endless and unceasing.

Some of the Great Dao forces were neutralized in circulation, while others grew stronger as they flowed.

The Great Dao Tower that crashed into this network was like an iron ball thrown into a huge net, avoiding violent collision, but the confrontation between the Great Dao powers became stuck in a stalemate, akin to a judo move redirecting force.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the Great Dao Tower would break through the Great Dao network formed by the collective force of the sixty-one Dao Lords or if the network would bind the Great Dao Tower, rendering it immovable.
