"Boom!"
Above the firmant.
The Great Dao Golden Book unfolded by the Golden Book Venerable and the Heavenly Abyss pushed down by the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord collided head-on, scattering energy fluctuations that shook the entire Northern Sea Star.
Particularly, the intense changes in the Great Void Path involved in this collision transmitted the trembling to the entire level of the Northern Sea Star, causing the whole planet to seem as if it were in the throes of an earthquake.
Under such tremors, countless Cultivators of the Void Path in seclusion suffered backlash.
The severe cases even spat out blood, sustaining heavy injuries.
The many Sects near the Heavenly Dao Sect, especially those that had established Formations based on the Great Void Path, had many of their Formations shattered.
As for the landslides and earth fissures caused by the spatial tremors, they were rampant in the surroundings, even the pinnacle Shattered Void beings situated deep within the Star Core were cognizant of it.
"Such commotion... Are Dao Lords clashing?"
"The Gate of the Immortal Realm hasn't even opened yet, why have Dao Lords already started fighting on Northern Sea Star?"
"Aren't these Dao Lords afraid their attacks will shake the Star Core of the Northern Sea Star, causing the Gate of the Immortal Realm to delay its ergence due to insufficient energy absorption?"
Thoughts churned in the minds of one pinnacle Shattered Void being after another.
To many Dao Lords, they longed for the Gate of the Immortal Realm to open as soon as possible.
The shorter the opening period, the more chances they would have in their lifeti to enter the Immortal Realm.
So, nearly a consensus was reached among countless Dao Lords.
You could only fill it with energy to reduce the opening period of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, but not affect the growth of the gate due to various reasons, causing the timing of the gate's opening to be delayed.
Delaying the timing affected the interests of all Dao Lords, and if another Dao Lord were to call upon others for action...
It might very well provoke the Dao Lords to rally against the one affecting the opening of the Gate of the Immortal Realm.
Perhaps there were no conflicts among these Dao Lords, but the prospect of reducing one Dao Lord in such a manner ant one less potential enemy.
This is also why, after the opening of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, many Dao Lords would choose to leave Northern Sea Star.
To reduce their own impact on the Northern Sea Star.
However, it was clear that the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord no longer cared about such things; for him, nearing his end, this Dao struggle was his last chance.
If he couldn't grasp this opportunity, all he had left was a fate of dissolution.
Under these circumstances, he would do everything possible to increase the hope of winning the Dao struggle.
Just like now!
...
The fluctuations that caused the Great Void Path to tremble continued to roll out in all directions non-stop.
Even though the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord was advanced in years and his mind was not as quick and sharp as that of a younger Dao Lord, by relying on his power as a Dao Lord, he nonetheless managed to scatter the power of the Great Dao that the Golden Book Venerable manifested with one strike, and with the montum of the Heavenly Abyss, he fiercely smashed into the formation that the Heavenly Dao Sect had barely begun to open.
Just one strike...
The Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation, which had not yet been fully activated, was already violently shaking, and a huge gap was smashed into it.
With one step into the void, the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord treated the Heavenly Dao Sect, which was like a dragon's den to ordinary people, as if it were nothing, and directly entered within, his powerful Divine Sense sweeping through the entire Heavenly Dao Sect like a storm.
As his Divine Sense swept past Alkaid, this Dao Lord actually didn't pay him any heed but continued to sweep towards the inner part of the Heavenly Dao Sect, quickly fixating on the Abandoned Heaven Valley region.
After scanning the area several tis and still not finding the other "unfamiliar" Artifact Sage within the Shattered Void, this Venerable finally turned his gaze to Alkaid.
He reached out his hand.
Alkaid felt the surrounding Void being grasped, contracted, and he was drawn from the spatial layer toward the figure of this Dao Lord.
"Speak! Where is that Artifact Sage?"
"Buzz!"
The Heaven-Sealing Stele burst forth from within him, and under the amplification of the power of the Great Void Path driven by the Limitless Sword, a top-tier Dao Artifact, it defiantly shattered the gripped, solidified Void.
"Hmm?"
A trace of surprise appeared on the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's face.
It seed he was taken aback that Alkaid had managed to escape from his Void capture.
Then, as if sensing sothing, his eyes suddenly filled with delight, "Is that a top-tier Dao Artifact!? You actually have a top-tier Dao Artifact on you!? Good! Good! Good! It seems even the heavens are helping !"
He waved his hand vigorously, intending to use his Divine Skills to capture Alkaid and directly strip the Limitless Sword from his body.
But at that mont, the figure of the Golden Book Venerable reappeared.
Above his head, a world of books and paintings unfolded once more.
But the scene that erged from that world of books and paintings was no longer the mountains and rivers of before, but twelve lofty figures.
After so delay, the Twelve Divine Demons Heavenly Sealing Formation was fully activated and directly fused with the power of the Golden Book Venerable.
As these twelve Demon God phantoms appeared, they directly ford an array and pounced on the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord, as if each Demon God was infused with special Power of the Great Dao, and the power of the twelve combined with the Great Dao Golden Book manifested by the Golden Book Venerable eventually ford a powerful Mantra.
"Any Great Dao that intrudes into the Heavenly Dao Sect will be suppressed by the Twelve Demon Gods!"
The power of the Mantra materialized.
Being a hybrid of the Star Spirits Clan and the Void Tribe, the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord was most suitably bound by the suppressive laws of the Void.
In an instant, this Dao Lord appeared as if he was bound by twelve Mantra chains, and his originally overwhelming presence, capable of suppressing the entire Heavenly Dao Sect, plumted drastically.
"This suppressive power..."
The Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord instantly realized sothing was amiss.
The Golden Book Venerable's strength...
Seed even stronger than the rumors suggested?
However, this Dao Lord had beco proficient in Alchemy over the course of his long life, relying on Elixirs to maintain his vitality up to this point.
About Formations, he knew not much.
Although currently suppressed, he still hadn't realized the severity of the issue and waved his hand casually, resulting in six figures appearing simultaneously.
Among the six,
the leader was none other than his most prideful direct disciple, who was destined to inherit his mantle—the sixth-ranked candidate on the Dao Lord succession list—True Monarch Xujin!
After summoning these disciples and followers, the Dao Lord pointed towards Alkaid's location, "Xujin, you and the others go capture Alkaid and that mysterious Artifact Sage!"
True Monarch Xujin was sowhat dumbfounded.
Alkaid was ranked second on the Dao Lord candidacy list, and he...
Soone ranked sixth was supposed to capture Alkaid?
Especially since...
This was the main base of the Heavenly Dao Sect?
Supre Elders like Zhen Xuanyuan, Chi Yun, Gu Li, Dustless Child, Dong Xi, and Yuan Star erged one after another.
Even with two junior brothers and three followers of his master by his side, his scalp still tingled with unease.
His own master...
Might have overestimated them too much, hadn't he?
However, since the master had given the order, they were obliged to obey.
At this mont, they could only hope that their master would quickly break free from the Formation's suppression to co to their aid; otherwise...
"Hold them back."
Alkaid waved his hand toward Zhen Xuanyuan, "I'll go assist the Golden Book Venerable."
Zhen Xuanyuan and the others, after receiving their instructions and watching Alkaid take to the skies, also felt trendous pressure.
But with the enemy at their main base, they had no choice but to face up to the six Shattered Void led by True Monarch Xujin.
True Monarch Xujin felt a sigh of relief when he saw that his opponent was Zhen Xuanyuan, not Alkaid.
However, in order to avoid Alkaid noticing sothing amiss and launching a sudden attack, True Monarch Xujin couldn't fully commit to fighting Zhen Xuanyuan and the others to the death.
Distracted by this, the two sides unexpectedly found themselves evenly matched, unable to gain a decisive advantage.
...
Alkaid had taken a mont to rge into the Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation and personally lead the Formation, imdiately putting the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord, who was previously able to oppose the Golden Book Venerable's mantra power, under considerable pressure.
Particularly when Alkaid and the Demon God representing the Great Void Path rged together and unleashed the Sword of the Void, the sharpness of the attack, coupled with the surge in suppressive power, caused the Dao Lord's pupils to constrict.
"This is wrong! This is definitely not the might of the Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation! I rember the Heavenly Dao Sect's Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation was only equivalent to a Fourteenth Level formation, but now, this suppressive power... it must have reached the Fifteenth Level!"
No sooner had the Dao Lord spoken than he suddenly stretched out his hand, and a Superior Dao Artifact level saber sliced through the air, tearing a vast rift in the firmant that was visible to the naked eye, revealing pure fissures within.
These fissures contained devouring forces akin to massive black holes, swallowing up all matter in the vicinity, intending to consu all energy in the skies above the Heavenly Dao Sect, depriving the Twelve Divine Demons Heavenly Sealing Formation of its foundation.
Despite the formidable devouring force, it couldn't shake the refurbished Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation.
The entire Formation, although quaking ceaselessly, continued to run smoothly under the control of Alkaid.
As the Void Demon, rged with Alkaid, raised the Heaven-Sealing Stele, ripples visible to the naked eye stirred outward, rapidly suppressing and repairing the torn space.
This scene confird the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's suspicion.
A Fifteenth Level Formation!
The Heavenly Dao Sect's Mountain Protection Array was a Fifteenth Level Formation!
"I've been careless!"
With the Golden Book Venerable and now a Fifteenth Level Formation...
It's not just him; even a Dao Lord at his peak trapped within this formation would likely be confined for a long ti.
If he had known that the Heavenly Dao Sect's Mountain Protection Array was this strong, he would never have recklessly invaded the formation.
"Damn it, I passed by the Heavenly Dao Sect three hundred years ago, and back then, their Mountain Protection Array was only at the Fourteenth Level. It's only been three hundred years, and the formation has beco this powerful?"
The thought of retreat suddenly sprouted in the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's heart.
In the next mont, his figure began to flicker.
After each flicker, he would slash out with his sword, tearing a rift in the Void, seeking to disrupt the "existence" foundation of the Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation.
However, almost at the sa ti as he flickered, the Void Demon rged with Alkaid followed with a Void Blink, deploying the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele to smooth out these torn rifts.
"Courting death!"
The Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord pointed with an empty hand, and a condensed black radiance instantly blasted toward Alkaid.
Dao Technique—Void Particles.
But just as this terrifyingly massive black light was about to strike Alkaid, a Demon God suddenly leapt in front of Alkaid, taking the hit head-on.
Though the Demon God was swiftly dispersed by the Void Particle Dao Technique, the Formation's power, continuously sustained by Hollow Void and Refining Void presiding over the Formation along with a massive influx of Spirit Stones, soon reford the disrupted Demon God.
In the anti, two more Demon God phantoms were dispersed by the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord.
Yet, with a substantial amount of materials, Spirit Stones, and Elixirs being poured in, the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's speed at breaking the Demon God phantoms surprisingly balanced out with the Twelve Demon Gods Heavenly Sealing Formation's ability to recover them.
Even though continuing the stalemate would inevitably lead to the depletion of materials, causing the Formation to cease functioning, the ti scale required for that would have to be asured in months!
Not to ntion a month, he didn't even have one day's ti.
If he allowed the Penglai Dao Lord to return and trap him in this formation...
"Damn it!"
At that mont, the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord began to panic.
"A Heavenly Dao Sect without a Dao Lord to preside..."
