Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Resurrection.

Alkaid could vividly sense that the consciousness of the Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor, which had been suppressed by him, was reviving at an extremely fast pace.

This kind of revival was due to the entire world's support for these Daoist Ancestors.

A Dao Lord, demands the integration of oneself into the Dao.

However, the Daoist Ancestors themselves are tantamount to a part of the Universe.

The Universe exists, the Daoist Ancestors exist; the Universe decays, the Daoist Ancestors decay.

As long as the Ancient Immortal Realm has not completely perished, the Daoist Ancestors will not truly die.

They are the ones who truly share their existence with the heavens and earth, shining alongside the world.

Originally, due to the loss of all Great Dao Shares they could utilize, the two Daoist Ancestors were forced into slumber; but the Power of Destiny itself had the ability to oversee the Three Thousand Great Daos. At the call of this Daoist Ancestor, the two great slumbering Daoist Ancestors were awakened...

Since all the powers of the Void and Time Great Daos were concentrated in Alkaid at this moment, as soon as the two Daoist Ancestors awoke within Alkaid's body, they immediately obtained all his powers, instantly restoring them to their peak state.

Compared to Alkaid, this somewhat uncontrollable chess piece...

The Time Daoist Ancestor, the Void Ancestor, and the Causality Daoist Ancestor who were bound to be awakened afterwards, were the true staunch allies of the Destiny Dao Ancestor, and the strongest pillars of support for the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"Lustrous Treasure Tree."

Alkaid sighed in his heart, sensing the source of the two great Daoist Ancestors' power revival.

"Indeed, all the favors from destiny come already marked with a price."

Long ago, he had the ability to separate the Lustrous Treasure Tree from himself; only because he was concerned about causing too much commotion did he continue to suppress this notion, but now...

He no longer hesitated.

He looked down at himself, suddenly stretched out his hand, plunged it into his own body and abruptly grasped the gleaming Lustrous Treasure Tree.

"What belongs to you, I return to you, but this body, you shall not take away!"

The next moment, amidst violent tremors, the entire Lustrous Treasure Tree was forcefully uprooted from his body.

This sudden anomaly caused all the Sovereigns to change colors drastically, quickly retreating and guarding themselves with all their might.

Not only the Lord of Shenluo, all the Sovereigns could see that, if Alkaid maintained the correct tactics, it might be very difficult to defeat their united front of nine, but to drag down one or two of them, or even two or three Sovereigns to mutual destruction, was absolutely possible.

Naturally, they did not wish to perish on the spot at the moment of imminent victory when they were about to harvest the fruits of their efforts, to become the victims dragged to mutual destruction by Alkaid.

"Boom!"

With Alkaid uprooting the Lustrous Treasure Tree from within him, he keenly felt the powers belonging to the Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor swiftly ebbing away, converging entirely onto the Glassy Ancient Tree.

It seemed...

His true source of power was never from himself, but from the Lustrous Treasure Tree.

Now, as the Lustrous Treasure Tree was stripped from within him, these powers naturally ebbed away as well.

This process was far more agonizing than the pain of being flayed or having bones extracted!

But Alkaid's actions did not pause even for a moment.

"Cause and effect, beginning and end, everything that belongs to you, I return in full! But what is mine..."

Alkaid's gaze lingered on the Dao Fruit of Artifact Refining for a moment, then he resolutely acted, directly crushing the Dao Fruit into dust.

"How dare you!"

This act evoked the wrathful will of the Causality Daoist Ancestor, who was akin to being "feigned dead."

The treasure tree trembled, and visible ripples crushed towards Alkaid's body.

After the separation of the Lustrous Treasure Tree, Alkaid's aura had plummeted.

Even without guessing, it was plain to see that his strength had fallen from a Daoist Ancestor standing at the world's summit to a level below even Integrate Dao, the Shattering Void Realm.

Shattered Void...

In the presence of the magnificent power of the Daoist Ancestors, so insignificant that it was even less than an ant.

Under the tremors of the Lustrous Treasure Tree, without any suspense, it disintegrated in an instant.

At the moment of disintegration, Alkaid seemed to look up, gazing into the depths of the starry sky.

As if looking at this stretch of stars, as if observing this world, or perhaps...

Observing matters even further beyond.

And in that direction...

A vague figure of an old acquaintance could still be seen.

...

"This..."

The scene of Alkaid's annihilation made the Nine Great Sovereigns, who were on high alert, widen their eyes.

They simply could not believe what they were seeing.

"Infighting!?"

Not just the Nine Great Sovereigns, but the Immortal Kings who were far away and watching, were filled with disbelief.

Alkaid, who just moments ago was peerlessly domineering, singlehandedly outweighing their united front of nine from the Chaotic Origin Realm, forcing them to borrow more Spiritual Energy from the Chaotic Origin Realm to turn the tides, was suddenly dead!?

Because of infighting, the Void Ancestor, the Time Daoist Ancestor, and the Causality Daoist Ancestor were resurrected from within him, and then...

All that remained was an empty shell, gently shaken by the power of the Causality Daoist Ancestor, and just like that, he perished.

His death was so dismissively easy?

His death was so trivial?

His death was so...

Insignificant?

The intense disparity brought an impact, as if the most exalted Sovereign had, in the end, frozen to death alone in the cold of winter by the roadside outside the wilderness.

A sense of the absurd, the desolate, and the emptiness surged in everyone's hearts.

It was not only the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, but even the Nine Great Sovereigns felt the same.

Especially for the Lord of Shenluo, who had narrowly escaped being Alkaid's scapegoat and falling in this battle, a profound sense of desolation emerged from within.

Despite...

He had survived.

But witnessing the near demise at the hands of Alkaid, only to see him perish in this manner, a complex mix of emotions tangled in his heart, filled with deep sighs.

"What happened!?"

The Master of Creation seemed incredulous even now.

Did such a good turn of events just unfold before his eyes?

"Hahaha, what happened? The Void Ancestor, Time Daoist Ancestor, and Causality Dao Ancestor found Alkaid to be a useless pawn and now they want to take matters into their own hands!"

"Very well! I wish for them to step up! Even without the support of the Master of Primordial Yi, we're not performing at our best, but we're not inferior to either the Void Ancestor or the Time Daoist Ancestor on our own; what's most important is… even if we're not their equal, we'll have no problem preserving ourselves. In other words, we no longer have to worry about those two Dao Ancestors dragging us down with them."

"Are the three great Dao Ancestors stronger than Alkaid who held the power of all three within himself?"

"The three great Dao Ancestors don't need to fight us to the death. They simply need to maintain the situation and wait for an opportunity to break through on the Destiny Dao Ancestor."

Though these Sovereigns were both stunned and delighted by the sudden turn of events, their judgment of the situation remained sharp.

However, as the Lord of Tianyuan said, that didn't matter.

What was important was that Alkaid always took the initiative when facing them.

Because he had the ability to kill any of the Sovereigns among them.

But with the three great Dao Ancestors...

The initiative fell back into their hands.

With a little caution, almost none of the Dao Ancestors could kill them.

"Actually... dead?"

At this moment, the many Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables finally confirmed the inner conflict and dramatic changes happening before their eyes.

Alkaid was dead.

He didn't die at the hands of the Nine Great Sovereigns but instead at the hands of the Void, Time, and Causality Ancestors.

Just as these Dao Ancestors' teachings had shaped Alkaid, allowing him to achieve his current status, they now stripped him of all his achievements, ending his life and drawing the curtain to a close.

Ash to ashes, dust to dust.

"Alkaid..."

Among the ranks of the Immortal Venerables, Penglai Immortal Venerable, seeing Alkaid obliterated by a single strike from the Causality Dao Ancestor, bore a trace of sorrow in her expression.

She had expected that from now on, they would be worlds apart, never to meet again.

But she hadn't anticipated...

This separation would mean an eternal farewell.

...

"Void, Time."

The will of the Destiny Dao Ancestor echoed in the realms of the two great Dao Ancestors, who had been 'asleep' for millions of years.

The powerful Power of Destiny gathered the energies of the Great Void Path and Time Great Dao, continuously infusing them into the bodies of the two great Dao Ancestors, each infusion a call as if to awaken them from their 'slumber.'

And these two great Dao Ancestors...

After revealing their Ancestral Path Level bodies, indeed began to revive their consciousness.

Seeing this, the Nine Great Sovereigns exchanged a glance.

Without any need for words, they all attacked simultaneously.

The Great Dao Share surged, instantly raising a tempest, each Sovereign attacking with all their might.

Facing these Dao Ancestors, they no longer needed to hold back as they did with Alkaid, lest they were left without any recourse against his thunderous counterattacks.

Fighting Dao Ancestors, they were professionals!

However, the revived Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor did not immediately turn their attention to the Nine Great Sovereigns.

Especially the Void Ancestor, whose powerful thoughts resonated immediately: "Stop! Now is not the time to decide victory or demise! Besides each other, we now face a new enemy!"

But the words of this Dao Ancestor did not slow the Sovereigns by even a fraction, as a massive tsunami of Immortal Techniques swept down.

"The reason I chose self-destruction back then was to avoid becoming a puppet for the new enemy!"

At this moment, the consciousness of the Time Daoist Ancestor spread rapidly as well.

"Hmm!?"

The Master of Primordial Yi seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "Wait."

On the other hand, the Void Ancestor took advantage of the hesitancy in the Sovereigns' onslaught created by the Master of Primordial Yi's words to quickly take the Time Daoist Ancestor and the Causality Dao Ancestor and slip away from the combined attack of the Sovereigns.

"Primordial Yi!"

The Nine Great Sovereigns were somewhat dissatisfied.

"The self-destruction of the Time Daoist Ancestor did surprise me back then. Presumably, you all found it puzzling too. Despite the Destiny saying it was part of the plan, why did this plan... not truly commence until 3.3 million years later? I want to know the specific reasons!"

The Master of Primordial Yi followed up.

Hearing the Master of Primordial Yi's words, the Sovereigns also felt a stirring in their hearts.

The rumors from the outside world were that after the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor used the Unity of Space-Time to break through the barriers between the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm and officially arrived at the Chaotic Origin Realm, they were deeply aware of the immense gap between the two sides, insurmountable by any means, and in despair, that Space-Time Ancestor chose to self-destruct.

But in reality, they understood that the Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor were not so weak.

Even if the battlefield were set in their Chaotic Origin Realm, it wasn't possible that they would commit suicide without even the courage to strike.

Therefore, the fact that the Time Daoist Ancestor mentioned this immediately upon revival did indeed pique their interest.

"What happened?"

The Master of Primordial Yi pressed for details.

"The moment Time and I joined forces to break the two realms' barriers with a Unity of Space-Time strike, we... seemed to have disturbed something, and then felt the scrutiny of a 'gaze'."

The wave of consciousness emitted by the Void Ancestor was filled with an indescribable seriousness: "A mysterious 'gaze' we couldn't comprehend at all!"

He glanced at the fused Master of Primordial Yi and Destiny Dao Ancestor: "We have a new enemy."
