Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Throughout the journey, Alkaid intentionally released some traces of his Blazing White Golden Core's aura, and the journey indeed became much smoother.

Even when they passed some forces engaged in life-and-death battles, these forces, sensing his aura from afar, immediately ceased their deadly conflicts, neglecting to completely annihilate their opponents. One by one, they fled in panic, not daring to confront Alkaid face-to-face.

"This Sea of Turmoil truly lives up to its name of turmoil. We haven't been flying long, yet we've already encountered various battles no less than five times. This is still because I displayed the aura of the Blazing White Golden Core, eliminating many potential threats to the point of making them virtually non-existent. If we were just two Crimson Red Golden Cores, or even at the Constant Light Realm, we wouldn't even dream of crossing the Sea of Turmoil alive without encountering adverse weather conditions."

Alkaid was somewhat emotional.

Xu Nianhua, standing beside him, nodded in deep agreement.

In the Northern Sea Star, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm was already considered to have some accomplishment. In Dashang, this was also the standard for entering the official service. The Heavenly Fire Realm and Constant Light Realm could already be considered minor experts.

In the Dashang system, although it didn't imply a high-ranking position, mixing in comfortably and peacefully was not difficult.

If it was in a smaller city on the periphery, you could even become a head of a small department.

Speaking of the Crimson Red Golden Core, not to mention, it was considered middle-tier in Dashang, and some city lords of smaller cities didn't even have this level of cultivation.

However, such strength in the Sea of Turmoil didn't guarantee any safety at all. Once isolated, they became the targets most likely to be pursued and hunted—neither overwhelmingly powerful and difficult to defeat, nor devoid of any assets.

As they were flying, when their journey was more than half completed, Alkaid sensed something.

He directed his Divine Sense again toward a fleet that seemed to have just completed a raid, returning full-laden.

The flag hoisted by the fleet...

Black Dragon Flag?

Black Dragon Thieves?

When Alkaid's Divine Sense sensed that fleet, someone on the fleet, through some unknown method, also detected their presence.

Alkaid could acutely feel a Divine Sense searching in his direction.

Although it was extremely secretive, he still sensed the malice in this Divine Sense. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

The owner of this Divine Sense, like him, was also a possessor of a Blazing White Golden Core.

When he sensed the aura of the Blazing White Golden Core that Alkaid deliberately emitted, the Divine Sense belonging to the Blazing White Golden Core withdrew.

Seeing this, Alkaid withdrew his Divine Sense as well.

But as he also withdrew his Divine Sense, that Divine Sense came probing again in an even more secretive manner. Surprisingly, it left a mark on Xu Nianhua.

If not for Alkaid's Divine Sense being almost at the True Spirit Realm, lacking only the process of transitioning from the Formless to the True, he might not have noticed this mark at all.

This was a mark used to guide the direction.

Alkaid considered for a moment and then burst out in laughter.

The contact between their Divine Senses was essentially a covert confrontation.

In this confrontation, Alkaid thought that they were both Blazing White Golden Cores, and thus wary of each other. After contact, both would retreat, like water not intruding into each other's channels.

But from the Black Dragon Thieve's Blazing White Golden Core's viewpoint...

Water not intruding into each other's channels meant that he harbored apprehensions.

Harboring apprehensions proved that his own Blazing White Golden Core was at most at the same level as him.

At the same level...

Then he could rob!

At most, it meant that the manpower was insufficient for now, and he just needed to gather more hands.

Leaving such an extremely stealthy mark on Xu Nianhua, the malice was clear as day.

"Indeed, Northern Sea Star, especially places like the Sea of Turmoil, the most dangerous things are never the harsh environments or extreme weather conditions but people! Other people are hell!"

He directed his Divine Sense towards that fleet again.

"Black Dragon Thieves are one of the largest pirate forces in the Sea of Turmoil. The chief, Tong Yan, ranked fifth on the bounty list, has formed a Deep Blue Golden Core, with a thirty to forty percent chance of reaching the Hollow Void Realm. He has been frantically looting resources to exchange for Dao Elixirs to strike at the Hollow Void Realm. Due to avoiding top forces and having keen sight, his bounty isn't as exaggerated as Gu Zhenyi's but still worth 300,000 Pure Yang Great Pills!"

Information about this group flashed through Alkaid's mind.

Tong Yan's apparent combat power was 760,000.

But for a group that has roamed the Sea of Turmoil for over a hundred years, one would know they surely have hidden methods without guessing.

These people were not within his hunting range.

But...

A Blazing White Golden Core!

At most only equivalent to a second or third chief, and he dares to scheme against him?

"You follow behind and clean up the battlefield."

Alkaid, amidst Xu Nianhua's somewhat puzzled gaze, commanded as he leapt up, transformed into a golden sword light, and headed straight for the fleet.

On the fleet, the third chief with a Blazing White Golden Core cultivation seemed to have withdrawn his Divine Sense, but he never relaxed his vigilance against Alkaid.

He had already passed the message to the chief.

A Blazing White Golden Core...

Especially one who is alone and hasn't displayed any identifying flags, while other forces dare not provoke them, they, the Black Dragon Thieves, would just go ahead and rob.

Fear of death would not have led them to become pirates.

When he realized that Alkaid had actually turned and was flying in his direction, the third chief was shocked.

With caution, he issued a command: "A fish has actually swam to our doorstep? Bad luck for him! Jiang'er, there's a little fish over there. Take a team and plunder them; take their lives and leave their wealth."

"Yes, foster father,"

The one named, a Sunburst Golden Core, acknowledged and quickly led his own team into the air, flying in the indicated direction.

Meanwhile, the third chief himself shot forth with Speed of Light, leaving the fleet under the guise of scouting.

"Can you escape?"

Alkaid, with the Two Realms Ruler radiating around him, invoked the Supreme Divine Power of Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement and leaped forward, instantly reaching the small squad led by a Sunburst Golden Core before they could react. His You Long Sword stirred the Void ripples, resembling a golden dragon capable of traversing the void, instantly piercing through the body of that Sunburst Golden Core and six Crimson Red Golden Cores.

Immediately after, his figure soared again, pursuing the third elder.

"Not good!"

The third elder, seeing Alkaid's sudden attack, felt his soul almost leave his body.

Especially when he caught sight of the combat power value on his battle detector skyrocketing in an instant, fear prompted him to use a Forbidden Technique immediately, boosting his speed of light escape skill dramatically.

Alkaid's Divine Sense locked onto this Blazing White Golden Core.

However, as he swept past the group of Black Dragon Thieves, the You Long Sword split from one into two, two into four, four into sixteen, sixteen into two hundred fifty-six sword lights, resembling a gold storm, instantly bombarding every Sunburst Golden Core, Crimson Red Golden Core, and Constant Light Realm cultivator on the ships below.

Among the Sunburst Golden Cores, those with extensive experience realized something was wrong when they saw the third elder suddenly escaping at high speed.

Seeing the approaching golden sword light, they instantly leapt up, trying to flee the battlefield.

But...

The speed of the golden sword light from the You Long Sword was too fast.

It seemed to be able to ignore the resistance of the void and strike instantly.

Even with their rich experience alerting them to danger, no matter how they dodged or shifted, they could only watch helplessly as the sky full of golden light pierced through their bodies one by one.

Eventually, they were desperately incinerated into charcoal by the terrifying high heat contained in the sword light.

After slightly delaying to annihilate this group of cultivators, Alkaid's figure accelerated once more.

Under the Two Realms Ruler and Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement, even though some time was wasted in crushing this fleet, the distance between them was still rapidly closing.

"How can he be so strong... We are both Blazing White Golden Cores, how can he be this strong! Which clan's True Transmission is this!?"

The third elder fled in panic.

At this moment, he undoubtedly realized that he had kicked an iron plate.

Being able to unleash such terrifying combat power at the Blazing White Golden Core realm surely meant the possession of a Supreme Divine Power.

And to cultivate a Supreme Divine Power...

Clearly indicated he was a True Disciple of a very top clan.

True Transmission facing off against these Loose Cultivator Blazing White Golden Cores, level-skipping kills, were far from being empty words.

"Damn, I thought we were not far from our main camp, plus this Blazing White Golden Core did not show any airs typical of top clan True Transmissions, completely like a sitting duck, that's why I planned to get my brothers to attack him, but unexpectedly..."

The third elder cursed silently.

You, a top clan True Transmission, and your Divine Sense encountering mine, just retreated so "fearfully", what does that mean!?

Shouldn't you have calmly scolded "Impertinence" and made me apologise with a slap to my own face?

Then I would have flattered you a bit, preserving the True Transmission's dignity, and all would be well, nothing would have happened.

Instead...

You are not playing by the rules!?

Seeing Alkaid getting closer behind him, he gritted his teeth; the Blazing White Golden Core trembled again, appearing to partially collapse.

This collapse and impact created a fierce burst of energy, causing his escape skill's speed to increase suddenly, barely maintaining a speed similar to Alkaid's.

However, this method of collapsing his own Blazing White Golden Core to convert energy was obviously causing immense damage to the cultivator.

This time, if this third elder could still return alive, he would likely be severely weakened.

But in the midst of fleeing...

No method was too extreme to use.

Both transformed into streams of gold, breaking through the sky, and soon had traveled over a thousand miles.

However, at this moment, a mighty aura rolled in from the end of the sky.

It was accompanied by five energy fluctuations of the same level as the third elder.

Just that three of the fluctuations were clearly not very stable.

Feeling these auras, the third elder's eyes suddenly lit up with joy as if seeing salvation from despair, his Divine Sense suddenly erupted, crossing a thousand miles, "Big brother, come save me!"

At the same time, he used his Forbidden Technique with even less regard, just to last until he could meet up with the clan chief.

"Black Dragon Thieves!?"

Alkaid frowned, "How so fast!?"

He quickly surmised that this fleet seemed to have finished plundering.

What to do after plundering?

Naturally, return to their main camp.

Could it be...

The Black Dragon Thieves' main camp is nearby?

After all, these thieves often change locations, no power knows where they really are.

He was unlucky, running into the Black Dragon Thieves' den was not impossible.

Black Dragon Thieves...

Tong Yan, a character with a combat power of up to 760,000...

But in a moment, he shook his head again.

"Since I'm here."

He looked up, his gaze settling on the six rolling auras approaching: "Since that's the case, let's eliminate the Black Dragon Thieves. With the bounty of 300,000 Pure Yang Great Pills, my advancement to a Deep Blue Golden Core will be much smoother."
