Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 518 - 504: The Target

"What exquisite Void Techniques, with this technique at his disposal, as long as he doesn't intentionally plunge into a dead end, no one below the Dao Lord could possibly stop him!"

"Never mind his technique for now, hurry up and follow him! In addition, have the people outside prepare to cover our retreat!"

"Damn it! Where did all this Shattered Void come from? We're not really going to end up laying down our lives for him, are we?"

Alkaid's sudden departure instantly caused a tumult among the Shattered Void cultivators such as Fu Hai and Huang Feng.

One after another, the Shattered Void cultivators quickly changed their original plans and hurriedly left the scene.

And while these Shattered Void cultivators were executing their contingency plans, Alkaid, who had been using Void Blink, had already arrived at the mountain peak where Sun Xing was being suppressed.

Though called a mountain peak, it was actually a node of the formation's operation.

It seemed to be a deterrent to all, the location where Sun Xing, another Shattered Void cultivator, was suppressed was in a rarely frequented area of the Mortal Realm.

When Alkaid arrived at the scene, he quickly perceived the fading presence of that weakened Shattered Void cultivator.

Immediately after, his gaze fell upon the mountain peak.

Because it was a node of a Fourteenth Level Formation, and the mountain peak itself was transformed from a Dao Artifact, coupled with someone from the Heavenly Palace specifically controlling this node, it would take at least a dozen Shattered Void cultivators working together to extract the suppressed Sun Xing from the Dao Artifact mountain peak.

Judging from this, it appeared that True Monarch Fu Hai and others, who had gathered thirteen people, had indeed previously researched the site of Sun Xing's suppression.

That's not right!

Alkaid scrutinized the formation for a moment, quickly following the formation's developmental direction, and looked towards the Heavenly Palace.

With his own mastery of formations, he soon noticed something.

"This place, being both a formation node and an entrance to a void pocket, maybe a dozen or so Shattered Void cultivators could work together to lift the Dao Artifact mountain peak suppressing Sun Xing and rescue him, but in the next moment, the formation would immediately change, turning this area from a simple node into a Fatal Kill death trap. If the Heavenly Palace were to dispatch some additional Shattered Void cultivators at this time, empowered by the might of the formation, they could swiftly wipe out the dozen or so Shattered Void cultivators who came to the rescue."

Having seen this, Alkaid began to consider the situation more seriously.

Fortunately, a Fourteenth Level Formation held no particularly clever aspect for him at his current level.

In just half an hour, Alkaid had identified the key to the changes in the formation.

Having identified it, it was simply a matter of interfering a little, preventing it from having the chance to change.

Immediately, he took a step into the Void, and his figure directly appeared above the mountain peak where Sun Xing was located. With a push of his hand amidst a violent shaking, the mountain peak was already uprooted.

As the mountain peak was being lifted, the violent shaking was transmitted in all directions, and the space within tens of thousands of miles appeared like a shattered mirror about to collapse, ready to unleash the horrors hidden behind it.

"Stabilize!"

Before the Void could shatter, Alkaid pointed with one hand, and the space, filled with web-like cracks, abruptly solidified.

Alkaid suddenly appeared in front of the suppressed Sun Xing, grabbed him and said, "Don't resist, follow me."

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this area..."

Despite his weakness, Sun Xing still remembered to warn him.

"I understand."

Alkaid responded and, with Sun Xing in tow, they performed another Void Blink and had already traversed the Wind Layer and the Thunder Layer.

Then, with another blink, they had already reached the Heavenly Palace Above the Nine Heavens.

"Boom!"

At this time, the formation in the Mortal Realm that had been suppressing Sun Xing had just managed to change formation in time, with a Binding and Killing Formation instantly enveloping the area, seemingly turning it into a death ground for any Shattered Void cultivator.

Unfortunately...

The cultivators of that region had long since vanished.

After reaching the Heaven Realm, Alkaid continued employing his Void Blink, and amidst consecutive traversing of the Void, he appeared just outside Yun Ji Starport, then kept heading deeper into the starry expanse.

It was only after he left Yun Ji Starport that the "Heavenly Palace," responsible for overseeing the starport, belatedly activated the formation covering the entire port. Immense luminescence, along with interference and sealing of the Void powers, quickly enveloped and sealed off the starport spanning tens of thousands of miles as tight as a drum.

However...

Whether True Monarch Fu Hai and True Monarch Huang Feng had escaped or not, Alkaid did not know, but he himself had already moved far away from the starport several breaths before it was sealed.

He even had time to summon a Superior Dao Artifact warship for traversal.

"Right, there's this too."

Alkaid used True Spirit's Light to sweep over Sun Xing, gave him a pat, and a golden radiance was emitted by his hand. Then clutching his hand, the golden radiance instantly shattered.

The whole process left Sun Xing, the Shattered Void cultivator, utterly astonished.

"So... so fast..."

Sun Xing murmured to himself.

Alkaid's speed in rescuing him and then fleeing Yun Ji Starport was too fast, surpassing the preparedness and reaction capabilities of the starport itself.

What's more, Alkaid had not used any power greater than that of the Shattered Void during the entire process.

This display of strength was the first time this True Monarch realized that a Shattered Void could be so overwhelmingly powerful.

"After being suppressed for five hundred years, your body is extremely weak. Take some time to rest."

Alkaid advised.

"Thank you, Dao friend."

Sun Xing replied, quickly recuperating.

Meanwhile, Alkaid continued to traverse the Void for several more hours until he seemed to perceive something and took out a Jade Talisman.

Soon after, the somewhat anxious Divine Sense fluctuations of True Monarch Fu Hai came through: "Dao Friend Alkaid, was True Monarch Sun rescued by you?"

"Of course."

Alkaid replied with a voice, "Being able to travel so far in the universe's starry sky, naturally I have some methods."

"That's wonderful, I wonder if Fellow Daoist could bring True Monarch Sun here?"

Fu Hai True Monarch quickly provided a set of coordinates.

"Of course, I can."

Alkaid responded and changed the direction of the warship.

At this moment, Sun Xing, who had just caught his breath, said, "I know the purpose of your rescue, but... if you wish to inquire about the whereabouts of my master from me... I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. My master never acknowledged me as his disciple, otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed me to be suppressed for five hundred years without ever showing up."

Alkaid glanced at Sun Xing, "I believe you."

Sun Xing was slightly startled.

"Perhaps others might think that with your innate talent, having reached the Shattered Void in three hundred years, you must hold significant weight in the eyes of the Po Sa Daoist. But I know... to a true Dao Lord, such a 'genius' who achieved the Shattered Void in three hundred years is just that."

Alkaid said.

"This..."

Sun Xing didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"However, I believe that the Po Sa Daoist wouldn't do something meaningless. Since he chose to open up a pure land there and stayed for six hundred years, there must be significance to it."

Alkaid's expression remained calm.

"Significance... Maybe there is no significance at all. Dao Lords have such a long lifespan that six hundred years might be but a flick of the finger to them, just like how mortals think a place with nice scenery is worth staying at for three to five days. What significance could it hold?"

Sun Xing said with a bitter smile.

"That's okay."

Alkaid smiled, "It would be better if we could meet, but if we don't, it just proves that we're not fated to do so."

Sun Xing was stunned, not quite understanding what Alkaid meant.

They went to great lengths to rescue him, and upon saying that he couldn't meet his own master, this powerful entity that had achieved the Shattered Void just took his word for it and moved on?

But Alkaid did not offer any further explanation.

With Sun Xing aboard, after several days of guiding the warship through a spatial node, they arrived in a somewhat desolate part of space.

A Superior Dao Artifact-level warship was already waiting there.

Once the warship docked, Alkaid instantly felt the surrounding void being sealed off.

And it wasn't Fu Hai or Huang Feng, those True Monarchs, that were sealing off the void, but instead a Dao Lord.

A Void Dao Lord.

"This is disrespectful."

Alkaid remarked.

Clearly, based on the powers he showed when rescuing Sun Xing, Fu Hai, Huang Feng, and the others had already deduced that with the power of the Shattered Void, they simply couldn't stop Alkaid, which is why they directly requested the intervention of the Void Dao Lord.

And moreover...

Alkaid surveyed his surroundings.

This starry region had several spatial nodes, and if the situation turned sour, that Void Dao Lord could retreat from the scene through various methods.

Soon, a True Monarch of the Void Path appeared outside Alkaid's warship: "True Monarch Alkaid, my master invites you."

"After all the trouble I went through to help you rescue Sun Xing, this is how I'm treated?"

Alkaid said with a smile.

"Rescue Sun Xing?"

This True Monarch of the Void Path looked at Alkaid with displeasure, "Because of your unilateral actions, many of us couldn't evacuate in time and were trapped at the Yun Ji Starport. Do you think we should be thankful to you?"

"I already told you that I was going to rescue him. Yet you chose not to evacuate. I even deliberately delayed a little to provide you an opportunity to retreat, but they still couldn't escape. Whose fault is that?"

Alkaid shrugged his shoulders.

"Enough of this nonsense; my master is waiting for you!"

The True Monarch said in a stern voice.

"In a moment, I'll have your teacher apologize for you."

Alkaid smiled, took Sun Xing with him, and with a Void Blink, appeared directly inside the control room of the Superior Dao Artifact-level warship in front of them.

At that moment, inside the control room of the warship, the Void Dao Lord was still listening to the reports of Fu Hai True Monarch, Huang Feng True Monarch, and others.

His expression was somewhat strange: "A Shattered Void can cross tens of billions of light-years through the Star Sea?"

"The Star Chart he gave me is just like this. Your Excellency Dao Lord, feel free to ask him in detail when he arrives."

Fu Hai True Monarch quickly said.

"That's right, you can ask me directly if you don't understand anything."

The figure of Alkaid echoed timely as well.

Yet this simple response caused the Void Dao Lord's face to change dramatically, almost causing him to jump up.

Fu Hai True Monarch, Huang Feng True Monarch, and the others had already experienced Alkaid's seemingly magical ability to appear and disappear, so they were prepared, but this Void Dao Lord...

To his shock, he had no idea how Alkaid had managed to appear inside the control room of his warship.

This method, far beyond his imagination...

With a thought, the Void Dao Lord instantly realized something and his face quickly broke into a smile filled with pleasant surprise: "Could it be that Po Sa Daoist himself has come? Under these circumstances, it's my failings for not meeting you properly, Yun Miao is disrespectful."
