Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 508 - 494: Invincible
"Immortal King."
Alkaid silently uttered these two words in his heart.
Whether it was the former or the latter, both couldn't help but raise a question in his mind.
Why on earth were these mighty beings reincarnating here?
Or could it be that near the gates of other Immortal Realms, there would also appear as many Dao Venerables, Ancestor Divines, and Human Emperors?
Alkaid couldn't explain it.
But...
Given the level of power held by a "Dao Venerable," their reincarnation around the Northern Sea Star seemed a bit too concentrated.
Shallow waters can hardly raise a True Dragon.
It's like a one-acre pond that houses over a dozen ten-meter-long fish...
It was too unreasonable.
However...
Alkaid glanced at the edge of the starry sky.
Even though he no longer absorbed or refined any portion of the Great Void Path, Alkaid could still feel that within the Great Void Path, a terrifying presence was already entrenched in the Great Void Path that belonged to this piece of starry sky.
Just like a terrifying giant dragon, coiled on the mountaintop in slumber.
Any creature around the mountain that made any intense movement could awaken this giant dragon, thus leading to astonishing consequences that no one could predict.
After some thought, Alkaid replied, "I don't know what a true Immortal's reincarnation is, but in my mind, there aren't memories of another Immortal. I am me, and that has never changed."
After hearing this, the Penglai Dao Lord didn't press further but merely smiled, "Whether or not it's an Immortal's reincarnation isn't important. When the gate to the Immortal Realm opens this time, we should probably both enter the Immortal Realm. Meeting there would be quite good."
Alkaid nodded.
After a moment, he spoke, "However, I truly felt what you all advised me earlier. Tall trees catch much wind. If I hadn't been so high-profile before, how could I have attracted this joint ambush by the Divine Race and the Void Dao Lords? It seems I need to keep a low profile for some time to come."
"Low profile?"
The Penglai Dao Lord looked at Alkaid, "Hearing you say these two words feels very disconcerting to me."
While speaking, she laughed, "Though, after successively slaying several Void Dao Lords and Divine Venerables, you must have gained a lot, so indeed you need to take some time to assimilate it all quietly."
Alkaid nodded, "Give me the Human Emperor Sword, and I will stay in Abandoned Heaven Valley to focus on Artifact Refining and keep quiet for a while."
"Thank you."
Joy appeared on the Penglai Dao Lord's face as she readily handed over the Human Emperor Sword.
"Need any help?"
"No need."
Alkaid took the sword and replied, "You can also go and inspect the ley lines of the Penglai Immortal Sect. When the time comes, I'll set up the formation for you."
"Alright."
The Penglai Dao Lord nodded.
Together, they exchanged information while returning to the Northern Sea Star.
Once they reached the Northern Sea Star, the two parted ways, heading to the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Penglai Immortal Sect, respectively.
...
Alkaid and the Penglai Dao Lord were undisputedly influential figures on the Northern Sea Star now.
Every move they made attracted the attention of countless people.
Their simultaneous journey deep into the universe was naturally the subject of much speculation and investigation.
However, before they could inquire about results, one after another, tremors from the fall of the Dao Lords shook the Great Dao, continuously arriving,
Especially the tremors from the Great Void Path...
They nearly numbed the Dao Lords who were delicately sensing these changes.
Even the signs of other Dao Lords' falls were suppressed.
All Dao Lords, based on the "prolonged and unceasing" tremors of the Great Dao, unanimously speculated that at least three Void Dao Lords had fallen this time.
Otherwise, the tremors of the Great Void Path couldn't possibly be this intense.
And they could not have lasted so long.
Plus, with both Alkaid and Penglai, two top-tier Dao Lords, leaving the Northern Sea Star one after another...
Everyone realized who caused the fall of the three great Void Dao Lords.
This speculation was soon confirmed as the Slaughter Divine Venerable and the Destruction Divine Venerable fled back to the Divine Nation in a sorry state, along with the winds spread by two speedy Void Dao Lords.
But the ultimate truth was far more shocking than anyone could have imagined.
The fallen Dao Lords weren't just three to five as everyone had guessed.
They numbered eleven.
Among them, the Void Dao Lords weren't limited to just three as speculated, but a total of nine.
Two were Divine Race Void Dao Lords, and seven had not established forces on the Northern Sea Star, including the long-renowned Primordial Void Dao Lord.
The news caused a sensation across the world.
All the Dao Lords of the Northern Sea Star were numbed by the shock.
Seven great Void Dao Lords!
Four great Divine Venerables from the Divine Races!?
Was this like slicing melons and chopping vegetables?
You must understand, in the storied battles of the Dao, although the number of participating Dao Lords reached into the hundreds, the actual number who fell in the end was only about ten to twenty percent.
Sometimes, if the fights weren't fierce enough, the casualty rate could even drop below ten percent.
Even more strikingly, 240,000 years ago there was a battle of the Dao where the number of participating Dao Lords was 186, and the number of fallen Dao Lords was merely fifteen, making it the least lost in a million years!
One battle of the Dao!
A round of Dao conflicts that spanned hundreds of years, saw the fall of only fifteen Dao Lords!
And since Alkaid became famous to this day, how many Dao Lords have fallen at his and the Penglai Dao Lord's hands?
Seventeen!
A full seventeen Dao Lords!

In other words, even before the Dao struggle of the Northern Sea Star had begun this time, the number of Dao Lords who had died at the hands of Alkaid and Penglai had already surpassed those of the event 240,000 years ago.
After this number was calculated, all the forces of the Northern Sea Star were left feeling numb.
It was terrifying.
It even terrified the Dao Lords.
Especially for those Dao Lords who didn't have much confidence and had merely come to join in the excitement, hoping for a chance, at this moment, they simultaneously had the same thought.
Leave!
Get away from Northern Sea Star!
While there was still time to make it to the openings of other Gates of the Immortal Realm, the farther the better.
This iteration of the Dao struggle in the Northern Sea Star...
Was too frightening.
It's said that on the day when the Destruction Divine Venerable and the Slaughter Divine Venerable returned, the Radiant Divine Venerable from the Divine Race of the Ten Directions had hidden in the Immortal Divine Nation overnight, not daring to show his face outside.
Among the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao, there were also two Demon Lords who had delved deep into the stellar universe, continuing to search for opportunities.
Clearly giving up on participating in this Northern Sea Star Dao struggle.
As for the Ten Great Immortal Paths, Three Immortal Martial Sects, and Four Great Immortal Dynasties, whose Dao Lords belonged, relatively speaking, to the same Human Race camp as Alkaid...
This news had almost numbed them.
Eleven Dao Lords!
Had just fallen like this!
What kind of strength was this?
Even an invincible Dao Lord would probably not be able to do such a thing.
After all, an invincible Dao Lord is capable of fighting against ten, but it doesn't mean they could really kill a dozen or more Dao Lords in an encirclement.
If he really pressed the fight against those ten Dao Lords, perhaps he could eventually kill all ten Dao Venerables and win the ultimate victory, but there was a greater likelihood that the ten Dao Venerables, at the price of their devastating losses, would fight to the death against this invincible Dao Lord.
Now, the terrifying level of Alkaid...
...
"Is our Heavenly Dao Sect about to produce another Dao Venerable?"
Thoughts like these emerged in Jun Tian Dao Lord's mind.
"Is this era, the era of Alkaid Dao Lord? Will he follow in the footsteps of the Dao Venerables of history who dominated their time and carve out his own legend?"
Emperor Hui Dao Lord of Taiyi Immortal Sect had a similar thought as well.
The stature of a Dao Venerable was already becoming apparent.
As for the original three Dao Lords of the Three Pure Sanctuaries, Supreme Purity, Supreme Subtlety, and Supreme Mystery, they were now looking at each other in disbelief.
After a while, Supreme Purity Dao Lord finally said, "Change the original gift we prepared, it's too light, it's not worthy of Alkaid Dao Lord... the identity of a Dao Venerable."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord nodded in agreement, "I think, for this era, we should focus on preserving our vitality and keeping a low profile instead. Alkaid Dao Lord, Heavenly Dao Sect... not to contend with them."
"Not just Alkaid Dao Venerable, but be careful with Penglai Dao Lord as well."
Supreme Mystery Dao Lord, feeling somewhat emotional, said, "Initially, I had my doubts about whether this Dao Lord truly possessed the combat power of a top Dao Lord. Her title as the first Dao Lord of the Northern Sea Star... we, the older generation of Dao Lords, only smiled and listened to it as a rumor, but now it seems... this Dao Lord... is probably even more formidable than we imagined."
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord nodded his head and added, "Especially considering her close relationship with Alkaid Dao Venerable."
"The two of them have been advancing and retreating together over the years, could it be that they have already become Dao companions?"
Supreme Purity Dao Lord speculated further.
"Becoming Dao companions?"
Supreme Mystery and Supreme Subtlety exchanged glances.
Both Dao Lords are among the top in the world.
And they are not much different in age.
Both are youngsters under two thousand years old.
Becoming Dao companions...
Would indeed be a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
If they can enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm when it opens this time and ascend together, it will surely become a lasting tale of legend on the Northern Sea Star.
"There haven't been any rumors from the outside world, but considering their close relationship, and how they join forces in every major battle, advancing and retreating together, even if they're not Dao companions, they're probably not far from it,"
Supreme Mystery Dao Lord said, "From now on, we must treat either of the two as a whole when dealing with them."
"Two top-tier Dao Lords joining forces... perhaps even two invincible Dao Lords joining forces, it truly is... the invincibility of the Northern Sea!"
Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord sighed again.
"Invincibility of the Northern Sea..."
Supreme Purity and Supreme Mystery nodded at the evaluation given by Supreme Subtlety.
Perhaps individually, it would be difficult for either one to achieve invincibility in the Northern Sea Star, but if they joined forces...
Invincibility of the Northern Sea would absolutely not just be an empty phrase.
...
And the discussions among the outsiders didn't stop there.
Moreover, it was foreseeable that the title of Alkaid the Invincible Dao Lord would spread wider and wider, eventually reaching tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of light-years across the universe, thereby truly making his name known throughout the stars.
As for the spread of his fame, Alkaid did not stop it.
After returning to the Heavenly Dao Sect, he went straight to Jun Tian Dao Lord, "I would like to know about the Primordial Dao Venerable."
And then, he immediately added, "Also information about Emperor Hui Dao Venerable, Creation Dao Venerable, Human Emperor Shang Tang, Martial Emperor Pan Wu, and if there is information on others whose cultivation exceeds that of Dao Lords, such as the Primordial Demon Ancestor, the Ancestor Divine of the End, the Great Sun Buddha, bring that to me as well... Oh, and also collect any rumors from other star domains about such figures."
Jun Tian Dao Lord was momentarily taken aback, but then he realized something, "Are you... trying to strive for the Dao Venerable realm?"
Without explaining, Alkaid simply agreed, "I have that intention."
"Good, good, good, I'll get started on preparing it for you right away,"
Jun Tian Dao Lord said excitedly, "Additionally, the information on Emperor Hui Dao Venerable, Creation Dao Venerable and others will be more complete with Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Three Pure Sanctuaries. I'll arrange for the Primordial Dao Venerable's information first and then make a trip there. As for the Dao Venerable information from other forces, and information from other star domains, it will take some time."
"No worries, I can wait,"
Alkaid nodded slightly.
