Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm was never a challenge for Alkaid. Experience more content on empire

If it weren't for his deliberate delaying to level up, he would have broken through when he first obtained the Divine Transformation Pill a few months ago.

No!

If he truly wished to ascend, the experience of a "Merchant" he garnered after fulfilling the order for the 12 Purple Cloud flying swords would have sufficed to max out his "Divine Path" and break through.

But he wanted to take advantage of the still reasonable "human resource costs" to farm as much experience as possible with the "Merchant" profession before they soared.

However, his reputation had been growing rapidly of late. His identity as a Master Artifact Refiner was gradually approaching that of a Grandmaster, and the increase in human resource costs was fast approaching the changes that would come with a realm breakthrough.

He had planned to finish the external orders from the Golden Temple, progress his "Artifact Refining" from Grandmaster to a brand new domain, and accumulate enough to push either his "Martial Path" or "Divine Path" progress from Star Master to Star God, or from Primordial Spirit to Dharma Phase in one fell swoop before breaking through.

But plans never keep up with changes.

The high-end market for Artifact Refining was always monopolized by Limitless Star Palace.

The performance of his swords, which closely rivaled the Superior Grade spirit swords of the Fourth Generation, had significantly encroached upon Limitless Starlight's market share in spiritual artifacts. Plus, the Limitless Star Palace had just absorbed the Quicksand Sect and was already hunting for fresh prey to target—and naturally...

Shifted their gaze towards Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Alkaid was a target, but not the only one.

The oppressive presence of the Patrol Heaven Warship forced Alkaid to finally make a choice.

He poured all his "experience" into the "Divine Path" branch.

Even though he would have preferred the "Martial Path" branch, which gave a greater sense of personal security.

But in the given situation...

He could only rely on the power of the Primordial Spirit honed through his "Divine Path" to break the deadlock.

...

"This should be possible."

Alkaid sensed the mystique that radiated from his newly advanced Primordial Spirit.

Taiyuan Divine Refining Art.

It was already a Divine Refinement technique adept at multitasking, with strong stability and resistance to interference.

Perhaps it didn't give instant perception over hundreds of miles like other Divine Refining Arts, nor had strong interference capabilities upon breakthrough. Taiyuan Divine Refining Art leaned more towards defense...

Yet, when combined with his innate talent "Divine King," the effect was heightened.

...

Minutes later.

The western formation node of Dragon Majestic City faces the Patrol Heaven Warship.

Sword lights streak across the sky, converging outside the formation node.

Three figures descend directly.

"I am Zhao He. Sword Cultivators, follow my command."

"I am Fang Jie. Technique Cultivators, I'll be directing you."

"I am Xu Kong. Divine Cultivators, I'm in charge."

"Good."

Alkaid's gaze sweeps over the three.

Including the familiar Zhao He.

"Time is tight, so I'll skip the formalities. Everyone, launch another round of attacks. But this time, I want everyone's Divine Sense, Divine Consciousness, including the attacks later, to follow my lead and be governed by me."

No sooner had Alkaid finished speaking than he demonstrated his power of Primordial Spirit. A strong Divine Consciousness instantly enveloped the hundreds of Great Cultivators present, guiding their divine senses and consciousnesses to fuse into a unified whole.

This intuitive change in perception immediately surprised those Great Cultivators who still harbored doubts, were puzzled, or even thought that Zhao Siliang was giving random orders.

"What is this...?"

"It seems like some mysterious force has linked our Divine Senses, making our power feel as one!?"

"Senior Brother, I seem to be able to sense your power effortlessly?"

Consciousness filled with surprise radiated from the minds of many Great Cultivators.

Including Zhao He, Fang Jie, and Xu Kong.

Each of them, without exception, was among the strongest Cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain.

Zhao He had not only built his Dao Foundation but also had his cultivation reach the pinnacle of Dao Foundation, ignited True Fire, and practiced two mighty sword techniques to Perfection, giving him the advantage of sword speed and decisiveness characteristic of a Sword Cultivator.

Fang Jie had mastered a Sixth-Level Divine Skill, the Annihilating Purple Light that could split the ground into a gorge thousands of miles long that he had guided and released.

The remaining Xu Kong was a Primordial Spirit Cultivator even more powerful than Bai Lu.

He had not only ventured deep into the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer but had also been tempered by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder more than once, marking him as the kind of potent Divine Cultivator who, given a moment of enlightenment, could touch upon the Dharma Phase.

At this moment, all three had their attention spontaneously drawn to Alkaid, their eyes full of surprise and delight.

"Alkaid Chief, what is this!?"

"I need your cooperation!"

Alkaid quickly responded.

"Good!"

Zhao He stated emphatically, activating his Divine Consciousness, "All Sword Cultivators, follow the guidance of Chief Alkaid!"

"Truly unbelievable! My colleagues in the Technique Cultivation Department, our chance for a counterattack has come!"

"The failure of our previous attempt was due to us, Divine Cultivators, who should have guided the Sword Cultivators to board the Patrol Heaven Warship. We couldn't even get close to the warship, leading to the Sword Cultivators' downfall under the guided attacks of the other side's Primordial Spirit Cultivators. But this time, we must show them that the Divine Cultivators of Nine Cauldrons Sect are second to none!"

With a rallying call, Xu Kong also motivated them, "Everyone, meld your Divine Sense into Chief Alkaid's!"

As Alkaid's abilities gained recognition from the mass, and with the command of the three department heads and chiefs, everyone responded, blending their power with that of Alkaid.

Even though Alkaid coordinated only a small portion of their powers so as not to affect their strength, his Divine Sense and Divine Consciousness still climbed and grew stronger to an unprecedented level.

With such power, any one of Zhao He, Fang Jie, or Xu Kong who faced him would be crushed as easily as dry weeds and smoldering wood.

But now, all he had to do was to use this power to coordinate...

To condense everyone's power into one.

"Be alert!"

Alkaid's Divine Sense trembled, instantly resonating with the Divine Senses and Divine Consciousnesses of hundreds of Great Cultivators in the field.

"Divine Cultivators lead the way! Prepare the Divine Sense Storm!"

"Sword Cultivators prepare! Charge the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Sword Formation!"

"Technique Cultivators cast spells, Yin Yang clash, activate the Annihilating Purple Light..."

Following the commands, the Divine Consciousness and Divine Sense of many Sword Cultivators, Technique Cultivators, and Divine Cultivators were coordinated once again, as if uniting into a single entity.

At the moment each Sword Cultivator swung their sword, they could clearly feel where their Lifebound Flying Sword did not quite match with the others'.

Each Technique Cultivator could also discern whether there was any internal dissipation between the coordination of their own spells and those of others.

Each Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivator could also accurately judge how to overlap their Divine Senses so that the Divine Sense Storm, initiated by different Cultivators, could escalate to its peak power.

Perfection!

The coordination between hundreds of Cultivators had reached an unprecedented level of perfection at this moment.

It was as if the power of hundreds of Great Cultivators had been stacked and superimposed onto one person...

This amplification...

This enhancement...

This transformation...

Not only the Great Cultivators but even Alkaid himself felt a surge of awe.

"My God, I'm so strong!"

"It's not just you who's strong, we're all strong!"

"So this is what we can achieve when we coordinate our forces seamlessly...?"

"Fellow disciples, I want to go kill Golden Cores! Anyone with me?"

"No, go away! Scram!"

Powerful!

Unprecedentedly powerful!

So powerful that the morale and confidence of everyone rose to an unprecedented peak in an instant.

Just then, at the edge of the sky, the Limitless Star Palace's Patrol Heaven Warship, a kilometer in diameter and shrouded in countless formations, burst through the clouds at supersonic speed, kicking up a visible violent airwave, and appeared within the "perception" of everyone.

On the warship.

Qiao Man, acting as the captain, showed a hint of amusement on her face, "It seems they plan to hold out using the formations of Dragon Majestic City?"

"According to the data we have, it seems that the city's formations are of the same level as the capital's Nine Heavens City and, due to being deployed for longer, operate more maturely than those of Nine Heavens City," the lieutenant replied.

"No matter how mature they are, they are just early generation formations. We have already warned them, and since they have chosen to be obstinate..."

Qiao Man rose from her captain's chair, looking through the bridge at the distant city shimmering with flowing light, and issued a direct command, "Order the attack, and crush them!"

...

Almost at the same time.

"Everyone, heed my command!"

Alkaid's Divine Sense spread instantly to the mind of each Great Cultivator through this coordination.

"We're listening, Chief Alkaid, give the order!"

"My sword hungers for battle!"

"Ready at all times!"

In the convergence of Divine Sense and Divine Consciousness, the Cultivators immediately responded.

Each one was full of fighting spirit, their will to battle soaring to the heavens.

"Good! Divine Cultivators lead the way! Divine Sense Storm! Strike!"

"Sword Cultivators attack! Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Sword Formation! Break through their defenses!"

"Technique Cultivators as the backbone, Yin Yang clash, Annihilating Purple Light! Slay the enemy!"

The three orders were almost simultaneously conveyed to each Great Cultivator.

The next moment, a Divine Sense Storm of unchanged mass, yet unprecedentedly orderly, instantly spanned the three-hundred-li gap between them and the Patrol Heaven Warship.

Since the Patrol Heaven Warship had also received the attack order,

At the same time, it unleashed an equally powerful Divine Sense Storm, which immediately collided with this force of Divine Sense.

However, unlike the initial scene of mutual annihilation, this time...

The Divine Sense that erupted from the Limitless Star Palace's Patrol Heaven Warship was like waves crashing against a rock, instantly shattered into spray.

As it crushed the opposing Divine Sense interference and resistance, the Divine Sense Storm directly hammered the Patrol Heaven Warship.

In an instant, countless formations aboard the Patrol Heaven Warship experienced delays, and numerous Sword and Technique Cultivators' thoughts were disrupted, as if illusions appeared before their eyes.

The entire Patrol Heaven Warship seemed to pause for a beat, completely stunned by this sudden and far stronger impact than before.
