Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 396 - 382: Suppression

"Eight Desolates Supreme!?"

"How can this be... The Eight Desolations Demon Lord has been suppressed!?"

"Damn it, I knew it, there must be something fishy about the Demon Lord’s cooperation with the Heavenly Dao Sect! How could they be willing to send a Vice Sect Leader with the potential to reach the Shattered Void to us, allowing us to kill him? This is clearly a trap! To lure and kill the experts of our Yin Moon Sect, so as to weaken us severely, and render us powerless to recover the Thirteen States of the borderlands!"

As the Eight Desolations Demon Lord was suppressed by Alkaid using the power of his Cave Heaven, the four Shattered Void Demon Cultivators from the Yin Moon Sect became panicked.

While on the Southern Region’s side, the Refining Void and Hollow Void cultivators were overjoyed, their morale greatly boosted.

"Hahaha, to suppress a Shattered Void cultivator! Truly worthy of being Sect Leader Alkaid, this is reversing the natural order by striking down the Shattered Void from the Refining Void realm! Looking through the history of the Northern Sea Star, how many have been able to achieve this!?"

"Good! Good! Good! This is too good! After this battle, I’d like to see who else dares to act recklessly in our Southern Region from now on!"

"Sect Leader Alkaid, invincible in the Refining Void!"

In their excited state, the Refining Void and Hollow Void cultivators of the Southern Region handled the siege against the four Refining Void cultivators of the Yin Moon Sect even more smoothly and vigorously.

However, compared to the others, the emotions of another Shattered Void Demon Lord of the Yin Moon Sect were much more stable.

Although he was shocked that Alkaid had suppressed the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, his astonishment lasted only for a moment before he recovered.

The Eight Desolations Demon Lord had only been suppressed by Alkaid after his demon body was torn apart—it wasn’t complete death. As long as he could break Alkaid’s Cave Heaven, not only could the Eight Desolations Demon Lord escape with his life, the Refining Void Demon Cultivator who had been suppressed earlier could also be saved, at worst suffering some drain on his resentment.

As for his confidence in breaking Alkaid’s Cave Heaven...

"Just how many more times can your Cave Heaven state support your high-frequency use of Dao Techniques?"

The Darkness Demon Lord looked at Alkaid, feeling even more relaxed than when he was first trapped in the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation.

However, Alkaid did not respond—lifting the Heaven-Sealing Stele high, the power to suppress the Void rippled forth.

At the same time, the radiance of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation started to circulate again, as strands of azure chains spread out from above the heavens, aiming to lock down the Darkness Demon Lord.

Above his head, the You Long Sword kept moving, but it didn’t give rise to the sharpness of the Sword of the Void. Instead, he directly performed a sword-finger technique, with the destructive currents of the Great Annihilation Sword Qi spreading at his fingertips.

The true body of Demon Cultivators belonged to the Heavenly Demon Origin, which was formless and shapeless like a gaseous state.

This was starkly different from the Heavenly Demon True Body of the Demon Race, the Human Race Dongtian, and the Divine Nation of the Divine Race.

The Sword of the Void was less effective against them than the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

While preparing the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, Alkaid’s True Spirit’s Light shone forth, vividly locking onto the Darkness Demon Lord’s figure.

As the Darkness Demon Lord plunged into darkness, seemingly sinking completely into the mysterious and unknown, the True Spirit’s Light directly pierced through the darkness, locking on to the form of this demon lord. Immediately afterward, the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele suppressing the Void rolled down, causing the Darkness Demon Lord’s figure to freeze.

The next moment, four waves of Great Annihilation Sword Qi bombarded consecutively, striking the demon body of the lord.

"You... you also possess Perception Dao Techniques!? And the nature of this technique is extremely powerful!?"

Realizing something, the Darkness Demon Lord furiously waved a cloak-like Dao Artifact in his hand, creating a layer of dark curtain that blocked everything—an abyssal darkness sweeping toward the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

However, the Power of the Great Dao within the Annihilation Sword Qi destroys everything in its path.

Although Alkaid did not have a corresponding Dao Artifact that would enable him to match the might of the Sword of the Void, his mastery of Dao Technique at the Great Success Level still forcibly tore apart the darkened sky he had amplified with the power of a Dao Artifact under the onslaught of the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

The last Sword Qi even struck his Demon Body.

Even though he tried desperately to dodge, under the suppression of the Heaven-Sealing Stele, his movements were still a beat too slow, and nearly ten percent of his Demon Body was directly crushed by the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, turning into nothingness.

Following this hit, the expression on the face of the Demon Lord of Darkness evidently turned unsightly.

Nevertheless, as Alkaid was in charge of the Slaying Dragon Formation of the Heavenly Capital, and since he did not have the endless thunder of Void like the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, able to break through a Thirteenth Level Magic Formation with a single strike, therefore...

"Let’s see how long you can hold out!"

The Demon Lord of Darkness declared stubbornly.

In his hand, he clutched a Jade Talisman he had obtained from a Dao Lord, waiting for Alkaid’s Cave Heaven state to deteriorate to the extreme before launching it in one fell swoop to deliver a Fatal Kill.

"Regardless, Refining Void is just Refining Void! How can all these methods and foundations compare with us, who stand at the summit of the Cultivation World, just below Dao Lords of the Shattered Void? Victory will eventually be on my side!"

"Hold out?"

At this moment, Alkaid too realized the reason behind the Demon Lord of Darkness’s confidence up to this point.

He looked at the Shattered Void Demon Cultivator, "Releasing a Dao Technique of Great Success Level indeed poses a great burden for someone Refining Void, but if you think you can wear me down until I’m powerless, you’re gravely mistaken."

The next moment, the Power of the Origin Dao, drawn by the Supreme Human Emperor, continuously washed over Alkaid’s Cave Heaven.

Under the cleansing of the Origin Dao, his Cave Heaven, which had been continuously shaken by the repeated release of Dao Techniques, and his dimmed Void Dao Seed seemed to be rejuvenated, incredibly recovering in less than the time of a single breath.

Directly returning from the brink of exhaustion to a state of full power.

This sudden change immediately bewildered the hopeful Shattered Void, who was still holding onto the hope of a comeback.

It was only then that he violently recalled the rumor that had been circulating in the outside world, but which they had dismissed.

The rumor was...

Alkaid was a chess piece personally cultivated by Penglai Dao Lord.

After he had achieved Hollow Void, not only did Penglai Dao Lord personally guide him in cultivating the Path of Void, enabling him to achieve Refining Void in a very short period of time, but he also gifted him numerous Dao Artifacts afterward, allowing him to grow swiftly so that he could compete with Zong Wenxian for the position of Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

And if this Dao Lord had personally taught him the Path of Void, then learning Penglai Dao Lord’s famous Dao Technique...

The Supreme Human Emperor, directly pointing to the Origin Dao, was only too normal.

But if Alkaid could recover his state with the Supreme Human Emperor that directly points to the Origin Dao, what about him?

What should he do?

He had gone through great lengths to sacrifice his teammate, the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, to deplete Alkaid’s "power" to its limit, waiting to unleash his final move to deal a fatal blow, and yet...

Alkaid directly used the Origin Dao to instantly recover to full health and full magic!?

How could he continue to fight now!?

"Supreme Human Emperor!"

The Dark Demon Lord growled unwillingly, his Dao seed within constantly vibrating. He harnessed the Power of the Darkness Dao to its extreme, turning it into an abyss that could infinitely corrupt the mind and soul, attempting to drag him down.

Yet, under the illumination of the True Spirit’s Light, the surrounding darkness was scattered. Maintaining this state, he once again launched the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, activated by the Time Torrent.

This time, there were four strands of Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

Four Great Success Level Dao Techniques, each capable of severely damaging his Demon Body.

The Power of Destruction they contained...

Despite how much the Dark Demon Lord refused to believe, he had to accept that Alkaid truly mastered the Supreme Human Emperor’s Dao Technique and used it to fully recover his own state.

"Get lost!"

He suddenly flung open his cloak, wrapping up the four strands of Sword Qi with the darkness of his Dao Technique like a black canopy, and while the four Great Annihilation Sword Qi were taken away, his figure instantly moved forward, stepping through the darkness to appear in front of Alkaid. The Jade Talisman in his hand was fiercely thrown, aiming at Alkaid’s Cave Heaven.

Alkaid, in the state of the True Spirit’s Light, was extremely sensitive to danger.

Although the Dark Demon Lord used a damaged Dao Artifact to sustain against the four Great Annihilation Sword Qi under the cover of darkness, the True Spirit’s Light still warned when he approached Alkaid.

And facing a Shattered Void...

One can never be too careful.

Alkaid used Void Blink immediately, reappearing thousands of miles away.

"No!"

A strong sense of unwillingness erupted from the Divine Sense of the Dark Demon Lord.

At that moment, the Jade Talisman he shot out unleashed a force capable of tearing apart the very structure of the Void.

The Void where Alkaid had just been frantically collapsed, its fabric seemingly forcefully torn apart from a fundamental level. The Cave Heaven and even the foundation carrying Dao Techniques and the Great Dao ceased to exist.

Shattered Void!

This was the true power of shattering the Void!

The heart of Alkaid, now thousands of miles away, turned icy.

"Sure enough, at the level of the Shattered Void, already at the pinnacle of the Northern Sea, second only to Dao Lords, standing at this peak for years, every Shattered Void has a heritage far beyond those of Hollow Void and Refining Void, each with unknown Fatal Kill techniques in hand..."

Right then, Alkaid didn’t even dare to approach the Dark Demon Lord again, his entire being seemingly merged into the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation.

Under the state of the True Spirit’s Light, four chains spread out again from the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation.

But among these four chains, only two shimmered in blue, while the other two were permeated with purple light, and the aura of Destruction exuded from them.

This was the Great Annihilation Sword Qi unleashed by Alkaid through the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation.

"Alkaid!"

The Dark Demon Lord growled, deploying his Dao Technique, resisting the shooting of the Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

But previously, in order to get a chance to fatally strike Alkaid, his Dao Artifact that most resonated with his Dao Technique was seriously damaged, its power greatly reduced. Added to that the guidance of the True Spirit’s Light, he couldn’t completely avoid the two strands of Great Annihilation Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

Demonic Flames trembled.

Although the Dark Demon Lord shattered one of the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, he ultimately failed to dodge another, and the Power of Destruction erupted on his body, annihilating nearly a tenth of his Demon Body.

However, while withstanding this Sword Qi attack, his figure once again approached Alkaid, ready to unleash another Dao Technique.

"Whoosh!"

Void Blink!

Alkaid’s figure reappeared thousands of miles away.

But with the lesson of nearly having his Dongtian shattered just moments ago, Alkaid chose not to confront him directly.

Alkaid, having blinked thousands of miles away, once again harnessed the power of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation to transmit Great Annihilation Sword Qi to attack the Demon Lord.

Darkness and Destruction collided fiercely, but...

It ended with darkness being penetrated by Destruction once more!

The body of the Dark Demon Lord shook, and his Demonic Flames weakened further.

His strength had diminished by nearly half.

"Alkaid! You, as the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, only know how to run and hide? Are you not brave enough to face me in direct combat?"

The emotions of the Dark Demon Lord were becoming frayed.

"So..."

Alkaid didn’t indulge him, "You, a Shattered Void who has cultivated for eight thousand years, said such words to me, a mere Refining Void cultivator of less than a hundred years? Where is your pride?"

With a blink, he widened the distance between them once more, while simultaneously launching another Great Annihilation Sword Qi through the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation: "Oh, I forgot, you old thing. You could join hands with another Shattered Void and five Refining Void to besiege a new Refining Void who has only cultivated for a hundred years. With such shamelessness, what dignity is there to speak of?"

"You..."

The Divine Sense of the Dark Demon Lord was filled with fury.

But he could only watch as the Great Annihilation Sword Qi once again swept over his body, destroying a piece of his Demon Body, and his Heavenly Demon Origin declined further.

"Enough!"

After several rounds of confrontation, Alkaid suddenly poured the Heaven-Sealing Stele into the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, a never-before-seen sealing power pressing down.

Even as the Dark Demon Lord tried to activate the Power of Darkness to break free, he found it impossible to do so.

"I..."

The emotions of the Dark Demon Lord plummeted into an abyss.

"The Heavenly Demon Origin of Demon Cultivators is a precious treasure to any cultivator, not to be wasted! After I have refined the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, you will be next."
