Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 241 - 231: Confrontation
"Infiltrating this time won’t be so simple anymore," Alkaid thought to himself.
The Star God’s Life Force Field was, in fact, equivalent to his absolute domain.
Theoretically, there was no possibility of sneaking in or getting close.
Alkaid had managed to enter Barton’s Perception Field smoothly earlier because, on one hand, he was a Dharma Phase Cultivator and possessed a Martial Dao Realm that far surpassed that of the Star God, yet his own power wasn’t considered strong.
It was like some small mosquitoes landing on a person’s body, not enough to attract significant attention in a short period.
If it were larger mosquitoes, small animals, or even wild beasts, the mere sense of danger would be enough to make someone feel threatened.
But this time...
Being likened to a "mosquito," he not only had to land on this person but also had to enter the core of his Life Force Field, akin to biting him.
In such a situation, even if a person’s reactions were sluggish, they would inevitably become alert.
Therefore...
Alkaid cautiously approached, concealing his aura to the utmost limit.
Yet, when he was still hundreds of meters away from Barton who was guarding the "Treasury," the Star God clearly sensed something.
He stood up, and with a solemn expression, he scanned his surroundings.
For a moment, his Life Force Field rippled out like ripples in water.
With the movement of his Life Force Field, Alkaid who had infiltrated it naturally had nowhere to hide.
And when Barton stood up, he no longer intended to remain hidden.
He sensed the heavily sealed External Elixir...
The next moment, the External Elixir was activated!
A blast of blazing, fierce energy erupted from him, centering him as radiant as brilliant stars.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Immortal Alliance!?"
Barton instantly realized the danger, and amidst his harsh shout, he tried to enter the unique Void Divine Realm of the Immortal Alliance to call for help.
But when his Divine Intent tried to delve deeper into the Void Divine Realm, he found...
He had actually lost the Perception of the Void Divine Realm!
This anomaly quickly made him realize something.
"There are other masters!?"
Then, the emerging power exploded like a rising sun within his Life Force Field.
It was only then that Barton realized, to his horror, that the attacker was...
Merely over a hundred meters away.
Over a hundred meters!
Not to mention a Star God, even for a Star Master or a high-rank Body Cultivator, this was absolutely not a safe distance.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were face to face.
This sudden explosion at such a close distance forced the Star God to frantically mobilize his Life Force Field and the explosive energy to counteract, while his body shot out immediately, as if trying to create a safe distance,

Yet, at the moment when he exerted all his strength to suppress the explosion of Alkaid’s Crimson Red Gold Core with his Life Force Field, his True Body had effortlessly smashed through the doors of the Ascendant Tower "Treasury."
The powerful Stellar Power Field, wrapped in raging energy, swiftly swept through the entire Treasury, swiftly collecting all the "targeted" materials into the Storage Treasure.
Then, under a fierce burst of energy, Alkaid’s figure tore abruptly through Barton’s Life Force Field with a shockwave-like sonic boom, shooting towards the ends of the sky.
The sonic boom shattered the atmosphere.
And the aftermath of the energy explosion was like dropping a nuclear bomb in the headquarters of the Ascendant Tower, instantly sweeping up a region with its light and heat, erasing everything in that area on the spot.
It also erased, wrapped in Alkaid’s Divine Sense, the Dharma Mark that originally belonged to Xie He.
The sudden disaster instantly shattered the glory of the world’s number one elixir export group, plunging countless people into screams.
And at the ends of the sky, as Barton’s Life Force Field was torn apart, his entire being was so terrified that he rushed towards the Immortal Alliance Golden Cores above the Nine Heavens at maximum speed.
Too terrifying.
Too frightening.
The opponent not only managed to reach him so easily without him noticing until they were right in front of him but also tore through his Life Force Field in the instant of confrontation—though it was a surprise attack, from this brief exchange, it was not hard to determine that the opponent’s understanding of him far exceeded his expectations!
A Crimson Red Gold Core who knew him like the back of their hand...
Just thinking about it was horrifying!
If he truly dared to fight to the death with the opponent...
He would definitely be defeated, even killed, like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!
"Buzzing!"
As Barton rushed towards the ends of the sky at full speed, a powerful Divine Sense also permeated through the Void Divine Realm, directly spreading in this direction.
This was Feng Ao of the Immortal Alliance!
But before he could reach this battlefield, a force similar in strength to his, but far superior in the use of Divine Sense and Void Divine Realm energies, struck like a meteor tearing through the void, fiercely impacting on the Void Divine Realm he had opened!
This attack came so abruptly, so violently!
That Feng Ao barely had time to react when the attack finally reached him.
The collision between his opened Void Divine Realm and this mysterious Divine Sense force caused an unprecedented disaster to ripple through the shared Void Divine Realm.
In an instant, countless creatures who were simultaneously using the Void Divine Realm lost their connection to it.
Inside the public Void Divine Realm, it was as if a tsunami had risen, annihilating everything.
"Peak Dharma Phase!?"
Feng Ao, who bore the brunt, roared as he mobilized all his strength to resist the ripples emanating from the impact of the Divine Sense.
Even so, with the ripples striking wave after wave, the entire Void Divine Realm still shook violently, beginning to disintegrate on a massive scale.
As these areas disintegrated, an untold amount of precious data was lost.
And countless departments fell into paralysis.
Yet Feng Ao couldn’t care less; he was channeling all the energy he could from the Void Divine Realm, continuously colliding with and countering the ripples, dissolving the force contained in the strike.
In the end...
Only after paying nearly a third of the Void Divine Realm as the price did he barely manage to block the impact of that Divine Sense secret technique.
Although the attack was blocked, there was no sign of joy on the face of this Immortal Alliance Dharma Phase; instead, there was an indescribable fear.
One strike!
Even though it seemed that the opponent had used some secret technique!
Even though the opponent’s attack had been sudden!
Even though he ultimately blocked the full force of this secret technique!
No matter what, one could not hide the fact that the opponent had acted with just one strike!
Just one strike...
Yet it destroyed a third of his Void Divine Realm!
The huge gap in strength revealed during this time made even Feng Ao, who stood at the pinnacle of the Dharma Phase Realm and the world, feel utterly horrified.
So much so that he hadn’t initially realized that this strike, which had crushed his Void Divine Realm, seemed to have a specific purpose; some of the information originally stored in the Void Divine Realm seemed deliberately "destroyed."
"Whoosh!"
Three powerful Divine Senses pierced through the Void, investigating this area.
"Feng Ao? What happened?"
"Have you been attacked? Was it Ye Lisha? Did you start fighting?"
"Nonsense, as per the rules, Dharma Phase should not act arbitrarily. I, of course, will follow this rule. My Myriad Beasts Sect is not like your Limitless Star Palace, which disregards rules and agreements."
Reminded by several Dharma Phase Cultivators, Feng Ao suddenly realized something: "Could it be..."
That Divine Sense that had intercepted him out of nowhere...
Was not any Dharma Phase he knew.
Thinking of this, he quickly sent his Divine Sense back to investigate.
But this time he was extremely cautious.
As he extended his Divine Sense, the Void Divine Realm began to shrink rapidly, adopting a fully defensive stance.
Unfortunately, as his Divine Sense continued to investigate, he saw that the headquarters of the Ascendant Tower that had been attacked was in disarray, with the Star God Barton soaring into the sky, manifesting his Demonic God Body while retracting his Life Force Field, looking around with utmost alertness.
At that moment, another powerful Divine Sense pierced the heavens and earth, accompanied by a rapidly moving fiery meteor at the horizon.
"Lord Feng Ao, have we been attacked? Where is the enemy?"
"Lord Miller."
Feng Ao responded and quickly said, "It’s not just one person attacking us, there’s another Dharma Phase Cultivator."
As he spoke, he intensified his emotional conveyance, "A Dharma Phase more powerful than me, but not belonging to any known Dharma Phase!"
"What!? The fifth Dharma Phase!?"
Miller, identified as a Golden Core Cultivator from the Mi Family, was quite surprised in his Divine Sense: "Which Sect’s Dharma Phase?"
"I don’t know, perhaps Barton knows something."
Feng Ao’s Divine Sense quickly resonated in Barton’s Divine Intent Perception.
"Lord Barton, what exactly happened just now?"
"A Crimson Red Gold Core attacked our Treasury! They plundered all the elixirs we had collected with great effort. This time... we estimate a loss of thirty million Spirit Stones worth of goods!"
Barton responded swiftly.
"Crimson Red Gold Core!? Who? Brahma Heavenly Kingdom? Primordial Yang Sect? Brahma Sect? Taiyi Sect!?"
Miller’s Divine Sense quickly focused on Lin Deng from the Limitless Star Palace and another Dharma Phase Cultivator, Luo Fu: "The only uncertain Crimson Red Gold Core in today’s world is Hu Xi, whom your Limitless Star Palace has greatly cultivated from Taiyi Sect. What is Limitless Star Palace’s purpose in having Hu Xi attack our Immortal Alliance?"
"There is no such thing, absolutely no such thing!"
Luo Fu firmly denied: "Hu Xi is from Taiyi Sect, unrelated to our Limitless Star Palace, and moreover, he is still in the Taiyi Sect—how would he have the time to venture into the Immortal Alliance’s territory?"
"Hmph! I will personally visit Taiyi Sect; they must give our Immortal Alliance an explanation."
Miller declared.
Hearing this, Lin Deng seemed to think of something and suddenly said, "Our Limitless Star Palace has maintained a good relationship with the Immortal Alliance over the years. If misunderstandings and suspicions lead to conflicts between us, it will end up only pleasing our enemies."
He quickly said, "There are indeed only a few Crimson Red Gold Cores; it is not easy to identify each one, but Dharma Phase Cultivators... until now, there have been only four. This fifth Dharma Phase that emerged is too suspicious. Could it be just Dharma Phase-level power instead of an actual Dharma Phase?"
"Dharma Phase-level power?"
Upon hearing this, Miller immediately understood his point.
Lin Deng also said with a smile, "Yes, what I meant is the suspected Dharma Phase-level existence from Nine Cauldrons Sect."
