Chapter 505 - 491: Strength
The roles of hunter and prey switched so rapidly that even the Destruction Divine Venerable couldn't react in time.
It wasn't until the Void Divine Venerable was also effortlessly slain, leaving only four out of the six Divine Venerables, that the leader of the Divine Race, a practitioner of the Integrate Dao, realized the peril they were in.
"Alkaid... how can he be so strong!?"
Destruction Divine Venerable was shocked.
"It's the suppression by the Void Path!"
The Slaughter Divine Venerable, who had been silent for a moment, quickly said, "Alkaid... has far superior control over the Void Force compared to other Void Dao Lords, so when other Void Dao Lords face him, they are innately at a disadvantage, making it easier for him to defeat them!"
Having said that, he arrived at a conclusion, "This boy, Alkaid… his understanding of the Void Path must be extremely profound! Otherwise, he couldn't have done this!"
Upon hearing this, the face of the Destruction Divine Venerable slightly changed.
"Regardless, we need to inform the other Dao Lords of the Void Path to come at full speed. We've paid such a huge price; we cannot return without accomplishing anything."
The Divine Venerable commanded in a low voice.
The Slaughter Divine Venerable nodded and was about to take action.
However, at this moment, the Thunder Divine Venerable suddenly exclaimed, "What are these? They seem to be blocking my perception."
The Slaughter and Destruction Divine Venerables looked around and noticed that there was a grey mist that had appeared at some point in this vast and empty starry sky.
The grey mist swirled, covering millions of miles of space.
The area wasn't large, and one step seemed sufficient to exit it for them. Still, it interfered with their perception, making their sense of others in the vicinity unclear.
"This is a technique cast by Alkaid and Penglai!"
"No matter what the method is, let's break it first!"
"What's the use of a grey mist covering millions of miles? Are we playing house?"
As Destruction Divine Venerable spoke, he unleashed a large-scale destructive Dao Technique—the Annihilation Polar Light! It was instantaneously cast!
A brilliance so dazzling it was beyond measure burst forth from his hands, its brightness surpassing that of stars countless times over, illuminating tens of millions to hundreds of millions of miles, engulfing everything.
Simultaneously, the force of destruction annihilated all matter and energy within that area.
However, almost as soon as he unleashed the Annihilation Polar Light, he keenly felt a terrifying force accompanied by a destructive aura, rapidly hammering towards him.
This forced him to concentrate the power of the Annihilation Polar Light to intercept it.
In this interception...
He suddenly realized that it was the Thunder Divine Venerable who had attacked him.
And the Thunder Divine Venerable also realized that it was the Destruction Divine Venerable who was attacking him.
Although both intended to destroy the gray mist area, they ended up directing their Dao Techniques at each other instead.
However, due to the sufficient trust among the Divine Venerables of the Divine Race, they didn't turn against each other. Instead, they soon realized something.
"The grey mist doesn't just interfere with our perception; it even affects our judgment!"
"Is it the power of the Illusionary Fantasy Dao!?"
As the two Divine Venerables exchanged Divine Sense, the powers of the Origin Dao and Great Void Path burst forth simultaneously.
At this moment, they couldn't afford to communicate further, simultaneously employing their respective techniques to counterattack.
However, what they didn't know was that the powers of the Origin Dao and Great Void Path they used for counterattacks also seemed to be wrapped in a layer of disguise.
Or rather, they were already deceived on the soul level, making it difficult for them to accurately determine what kind of Power of the Great Dao was attacking them and from which opponent it came.
Thus, in the eyes of Alkaid and Penglai, the four Divine Venerables were each fighting on their own.
Everyone became opponents to each other.
If it hadn't been for the interference from Alkaid and Penglai Dao Lord, these four might have been able to calmly discern the situation soon. However, Alkaid and Penglai didn't give them a chance to calmly assess the situation.
In the chaos of their Dao Techniques, along with the genuine attacks from Alkaid and Penglai Dao Lord, real and fake blended together, making it impossible to accurately determine whether the attackers were other Divine Venerables or Alkaid and Penglai. Even though they knew their senses and judgment were being disrupted, they still had to do their utmost to block all Dao Techniques attacking them.
"Is this the power emanated from that ultimate treasure of yours!?"
Penglai Dao Lord was utterly astonished, and then, as if she realized something, she suddenly exclaimed, "This power... a Semi-Immortal Artifact!?"
Alkaid didn't hide it and nodded, "A Semi-Immortal Artifact."
"Really a Semi-Immortal Artifact!?"
As soon as these words came out, even Penglai Dao Lord, who had always known Alkaid would eventually be able to refine a Semi-Immortal Artifact, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Isn't it already in front of you."
Alkaid said, "A Semi-Immortal Artifact of the Soul Dao, unless one is a Dao Lord fused with the Soul Dao, it's difficult to see through the true and false nature of this Semi-Immortal Artifact. Even if one has mastered the Soul Dao, at most, they can ensure only their own well-being..."
Having said that, his gaze focused on the Slaughter Divine Venerable.
This Divine Venerable clearly still maintained enough clarity, unaffected by the influence of the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory, and was concealing himself, waiting for an opportunity to break through this semi-immortal artifact's conception of the Heavenly Territory.
"Move him out, and I'll handle him."
With a thought from Penglai Dao Lord, Alkaid felt her confidence and didn't refuse.
The Void Path fluctuated.
The body of the Slaughter Divine Venerable suddenly fell from the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory, directly dropping into the heart of the Origin Sea raised by the Penglai Dao Lord.
And the moment this Divine Venerable fell from the gray mist area, he realized he had been discovered and targeted.
"A Semi-Immortal Artifact! This is a Semi-Immortal Artifact!"
The Slaughter Divine Venerable roared angrily, and his first instinct was to communicate this.
However, to prevent Alkaid from contacting the Dao Lords of the Ten Great Immortal Paths for help, they chose a battlefield quite a distance from the Northern Sea Star.
At such a distance, if they had a Transmission Formation specifically for communication, it would have been possible to liaise with the Northern Sea Star in a timely manner, but now...
Whether the message could be sent out was entirely uncertain.
Especially since the Penglai Dao Lord had unleashed the Origin Sea, completely enveloping him and actively intercepting the transmission.
"We must make this a quick battle, lest the Dao Lords of the Void Path grow suspicious!"
Alkaid Divine Sense revolved.
Compared to these members of the Divine Race, he was more eager to confront the Void Dao Lords.
Ten, or even more than a dozen, Void Dao Lords posed less threat in his view than the six Divine Venerables before him!
Even less than the four Divine Venerables.
Upon receiving the message, the Penglai Dao Lord also intensified his attacks.
The Slaughter Divine Venerable was regarded as the second-in-command within the Divine Race, and his combat power was not weak.
It was not so easy for the Penglai Dao Lord to kill him as he wished.
If they really wanted to decide the winner quickly, everything depended on Alkaid.
Within the gray mist area formed by the Eight Desolates Celestial Mirror, Alkaid summoned the Endless Tower, as layers of flowing light wrapped around him.
As the brilliant light circulated, the Power of the Great Void Path within him was also gradually strengthening.
The moment the two Void Dao Lords perished, he used his Immortal Venerable Level Realm to rapidly increase his share in the Great Void Path.
Although a very small portion was still captured by a powerful force as if it maintained the rules of the world, he controlled a total of 4.6/10000 out of the Great Void Path's power, compared to the majority who only had 1 share, and a very few with 2 shares. This already provided him a significant advantage.
Moreover, with the artifact that had transformed into a Semi-Immortal Artifact for protection on him...
He almost ignored the attacks of several Divine Venerables and directly confronted them with Dao Techniques.
With such a "desperate" tactic, how could the remaining three sect-fighting Divine Venerables withstand him!?
In just a moment, Thunder and another Divine Venerable had perished on the spot.
For this, Alkaid paid the price of being struck by nine Dao Techniques directly.
Fortunately, such attacks were still not enough to break the Endless Tower.
Just as Alkaid was about to confront the Destruction Divine Venerable, the hardest bone to chew, the Dao Artifact equipped with Formation and Artifact Refining features rippled circles of Void ripples.
Alkaid raised his hand, and the Dao Artifact emerged.
One look and he already knew what was happening.
"The Dao Artifact has been activated voluntarily? Theoretically, only the Divine Race here should be able to activate this Dao Artifact to form a Transmission Formation and bring over the other side's Void Dao Lords. Yet, they are able to remotely control this Dao Artifact to activate it, forming a guiding Formation?"
Alkaid's thoughts flowed.
The Void Dao Lords on the other side were so impatient to activate the formation that they even risked revealing their backup plan...
He glanced toward the deeper reaches of the starry sky.
Had those Void Dao Lords sensed the repeated collisions of the Great Void Path here and knew that they had already started fighting with the six Divine Venerables of the Divine Race?
As a result...
Far from running away, they actually wanted to intervene in the battlefield themselves!?
"After starting the battle, the Divine Race did not activate the transmission formation to bring these Void Dao Lords into play. Could it be... they thought the Divine Race wanted to handle me and Penglai alone? Afraid they wouldn't get a share later, they hastily activated the transmission formation?"
Good grief.
All these Dao Lords thinking everything in a positive light, wouldn't predict that the Divine Venerables controlling the Dao Artifact had perished before they even had the chance to activate the transmission formation?
But on further thought...
It made sense.
Who would believe that a figure with combat power close to a renowned Dao Lord, like the Xu Huang Divine Venerable, would be devastated by him in just a few interactions?
People often only believe what they want to.
Dao Lords with absolute confidence in themselves are no different.
Even if it isn't the truth.
"Since you're so eager..."
Alkaid placed the specially made Dao Artifact into the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory, allowing the Transmission Formation on top to activate swiftly.
Meanwhile, he mobilized the abundant and majestic Power of the Great Void Path, leveraging the Immortal Venerable level of Void Control Force to forcefully condense an amplification formation in this sector of the void.
Despite the brief time and limited conditions, and even though he was setting up the formation in the void, the formation's power level wasn't high, but it could still enhance Alkaid's combat power by an additional ten to twenty percent.
"Humming!"
The Transmission Dao Artifact went from activation to forming a Transmission Formation in just the time it took to take a breath, remarkably fast.
And at the moment the Transmission Formation materialized, a Dao Lord immediately stepped out from within.
It was the Primordial Void Dao Lord!
"Destruction, you think you can monopolize the secrets within Alkaid by yourself!"
What do you think?
