The Modern Martial Immortal

”To stir the Great Dao of space as a Golden Core cultivator?! Is this a supreme divine ability?!” Behind him, Wang Daoshu’s pupils contracted sharply the instant Yaoguang launched his counterattack.

It was not a treasure! It was a supreme divine ability, something only true disciples were qualified to cultivate!

A Blazing White Golden Core cultivator who had mastered a supreme divine ability?!

And his progress with that supreme divine ability was astonishingly high!

In that instant, Wang Daoshu realized he might have been used as a pawn, and a disposable one at that.

But at that moment, he had no time to think further. He immediately controlled the Void Sand Sea and the sandstorm, trying to tear apart the Space-Splitting Strike that had compressed that void tsunami into a single devastating point.

”This is bad!” The moment the two forces collided, his expression fell.

Then a look of horror appeared on his face.

Yaoguang’s supreme divine ability contained a special frequency that precisely dismantled the void ripples originating from him. His grand and overwhelming divine ability truly resembled a sandcastle built upon the shore. When the tide crashed in, it shattered instantly.

After crushing the destructive force of Wang Daoshu’s divine ability, Yaoguang’s strike drove forward at an unbelievable speed and viciously struck his body.

Wang Daoshu’s Primordial Void, which had already been circulating as fast as possible in an attempt to defend and counterattack, lost all stability the moment it collided with the spatial ripples generated by that supreme divine ability. It could no longer distort the surrounding space.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as that strike slammed into his Primordial Void while he was nearly defenseless, or rather, utterly incapable of defending himself.

The moment it entered his Primordial Void, it was like a star being struck by a beam of light particles. His core collapsed inwardly, instantly breaking the balance of his internal power.

”How is this possible?!” Wang Daoshu’s heart trembled as he desperately tried to stabilize his Primordial Void state.

But Yaoguang had no intention of standing by.

While Wang Daoshu was fully occupied suppressing the instability in his Primordial Void, the Wandering Dragon Sword shook the void once more. The spatial ripples it formed rapidly condensed into a second Space-Splitting Strike, which smashed directly into Wang Daoshu’s destabilized Primordial Void.

This strike delivered a fatal blow to the Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal.

His already unbalanced Primordial Void collapsed chaotically. Countless energies that had been compressed to the limit burst forth from his body, instantly tearing apart his divine body, one that had illuminated 1080 acupoints, turning it into shredded meat.

”I refuse to accept this! My family has yet to be fully restored through my hands! I have yet to lead my family into becoming a new lineage of the Heavenly Dao Sect! I refuse to accept this...” The Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal cried out in despair.

In the end, Yaoguang no longer needed to strike again.

In his pursuit of greater power, Wang Daoshu’s own Primordial Void buried him.

As Yaoguang frantically retreated using the Two-Realm Ruler, Wang Daoshu’s Primordial Void exploded into endless energy, blasting outward in every direction.

Even in the environment of the North Sea Star, the violent release of such a vast amount of energy produced a dazzling seven-colored rainbow. Its brilliance stretched 1500 kilometers.

Accompanied by shockwave-like spatial ripples, it tore apart the seemingly solid spiritual mist and spiritual clouds filling the sky, leaving a massive gray-brown hole in the heavens.

The spreading void ripples blew away all spiritual power and spiritual mist within 1500 kilometers, exposing every living being hidden in that range.

”There’s someone else?!” Having retreated five hundred kilometers away, Yaoguang’s gaze immediately locked onto another figure in the distance.

That figure was staring up at the seven-colored rainbow that filled 1500 kilometers of space, terror lingering in his eyes.

It was none other than Xuan Shuang, a true disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Xuan Shuang had hidden himself in the rear, thinking that if Wang Daoshu could capture Yaoguang, all would be well. Even if he failed, with Xuan Shuang shadowing him and waiting for the right opportunity, success would still be assured.

But he would have never imagined that after merely two clashes, Yaoguang would grasp the frequency of Wang Daoshu’s Primordial Void, allowing him to unleash an offensive supreme divine ability that had made his combat power likely surge close to a million. With only two strikes, he shattered the balance of Wang Daoshu’s Primordial Void, causing it to spiral out of control and collapse.

Such efficiency. Such strength...

Even if Xuan Shuang had personally acted, he likely could not have done better.

Of course, that was because Yaoguang had managed to grasp Wang Daoshu’s Primordial Void frequency.

If Wang Daoshu had been replaced by another Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal... Unless he had no other choice, Xuan Shuang would have withdrawn to the Heavenly Dao Sect as quickly as possible.

Looking down on Void-Piercing Realm battle immortals was one thing. Risking his life against one was another. It simply wasn’t worth it.

But Yaoguang... To understand Wang Daoshu’s black hole frequency so quickly upon first contact and then immediately kill him...

Has his understanding of the Primordial Void reached the absolute peak? Or does he have some unknown treasure?! Xuan Shuang leaned toward the latter.

As fear rose within him, he saw Yaoguang activate the Two-Realm Ruler once more. Surrounded by surging spatial ripples, Yaoguang charged straight toward him.

He must have at least a third-generation, or perhaps even a fourth-generation top-tier spirit treasure! Compared to a quasi-Dao Artifact, it probably isn’t inferior by much... Xuan Shuang recognized the extraordinary nature of the Two-Realm Ruler immediately, and greed surged in his heart.

But that greed lasted only a moment before a chill replaced it.

Meeting Yaoguang’s cold gaze, he instantly realized something. He wants to kill me?!

An inner sect disciple wants to kill me, a true disciple?! He thought.

But Xuan Shuang had secretly followed Wang Daoshu out of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Aside from his younger brother, Xuan Mo, no one knew he had come here.

If he really died in this place, Yaoguang, with only Blazing White Golden Core Realm cultivation, might not be convicted immediately! That was likely why he dared to harbor murderous intent toward him!

However, that was not the important point!

The important point was this. Just because Yaoguang had used a special method to dismantle a Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal’s Primordial Void, did he really think that such an achievement meant he could contend against an Azure Golden Core cultivator like him?

”What audacity!” he roared.

Although Xuan Shuang was deeply wary of Yaoguang’s potential trump cards, his greed for Yaoguang’s secrets and his absolute confidence in his own strength still drove him to take the risk.

”I, Xuan Shuang, became a true disciple through strength, not connections or relationships! So what if you possess a supreme divine ability? Do you think I don’t have one?!”

The next instant, a golden battle saber appeared in his hand. At the same time, brilliant crimson-gold flames erupted from his body and transformed into a pair of blazing wings. His body swelled against the wind like a crimson-gold flame giant, rapidly growing to a height of three meters, then ten meters, and finally thirty meters!

His combat power also surged with the transformation. 660,000, 760,000, 860,000, 960,000...

By the time he manifested his thirty-meter flame giant form, his combat power had reached an astonishing 960,000!

A true disciple! This was the strength of someone ranked thirty-fourth among the Heavenly Dao Sect’s eighty-eight true disciples!

This value was already the peak that Azure Golden Core cultivators in the outside world could reach. Yet among the Heavenly Dao Sect’s eighty-eight true disciples, it was not even enough to enter the top thirty.

From this, one could see just how vast the gap was between a great sect’s true disciples and ordinary Azure Golden Core cultivators.

It’s the supreme divine ability, Crimson-Gold Divine Phoenix Body! This is a supreme divine ability that points directly to the Great Dao of Nirvana! Not only does it grant mastery over powerful flames, but those flames also contain terrifying vitality, making the cultivator almost impossible to kill. It is practically a fusion of the Great Dao of fire and the Great Dao of life! Yaoguang recognized the origin of this divine ability at a glance.

It was one of the strongest supreme divine abilities in the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Although Xuan Shuang had yet to cultivate it to perfection, his combat power of 960,000 was the clearest reflection of his current strength.

A true disciple? Can Jin Yuliu order true disciples around? Yaoguang frowned.

He had not expected that merely refusing to acknowledge someone as his master once would bring so much trouble.

First, a Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal, and now a true disciple lying in wait.

However, whether it was a Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal or a true disciple, since they had already attacked him, they had formed a death feud. On the North Sea Star, once a feud was formed, it could only end with one side’s death.

As for reconciliation? Neither side would feel at ease.

This place is ultimately not too far from the Heavenly Dao Sect. The fall of that Void-Piercing Realm battle immortal already caused a huge commotion. If I get dragged into a prolonged battle with this true disciple, it will definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s elders. If Jin Yuliu is drawn here and directly captures me under the pretext of cooperating with an investigation, I’ll be meat on the chopping block. I have to end this quickly! Yaoguang’s thoughts raced.

Facing this powerful true disciple who had manifested the Crimson-Gold Divine Phoenix Body, he directly summoned his Dao Artifact, the Heaven-Sealing Stele.

The moment the Dao Artifact appeared, its Dao resonance rapidly stirred the surrounding void power.

Then, guided by Yaoguang, who used Void’s Child, that void power directly formed a small world that seemed to seal space itself, descending toward Xuan Shuang.

On the other side, when Xuan Shuang saw Yaoguang take out yet another treasure, the delight in his eyes deepened.

A top-tier ruler-type spirit treasure! A top-tier flying sword-type spirit treasure! And now, he has another spirit treasure?! Has this man dug up the lair of some fallen Void-Piercing Realm expert?

When this supreme treasure released faint traces of Dao resonance, his joy instantly transformed into surprise, then ecstasy!

It has Dao resonance?! Is this a quasi-Dao Artifact?! This little inner sect disciple not only has top-tier spirit treasures, but also a quasi-Dao Artifact that even a Void-Piercing Realm expert, even a Void-Refining peak master, would covet?! I’m going to make a fortune! Xuan Shuang thought.

But before that sudden ecstasy could fully spread, the Dao resonance on this ”quasi-Dao Artifact” surged, stirring the surrounding power of the void.

The abrupt change froze the delight in his eyes.

When the void power, stirred by the Dao resonance, formed a small world that sealed space and descended over him under Yaoguang’s guidance, his frozen expression rapidly shifted to one of terror.

”Dao Artifact! This is a real Dao Artifact!” Xuan Shuang’s psychic mind shook violently, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. ”You are clearly not at the Void-Piercing Realm, and you didn’t use an array. How can you possibly unleash the might of a Dao Artifact?!”

Unfortunately, Yaoguang would not give him an answer.

As the Dao Artifact’s power was activated, the Heaven-Sealing Stele descended like a small world, instantly pressing down on Xuan Shuang, who had manifested the Crimson-Gold Divine Phoenix Body and stirred up heaven-reaching flames, along with all the space around him.
