"How is this possible... the power of this Sword of the Void..."
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord’s pupils constricted.
From the methods Alkaid demonstrated at this moment, even without the power of a Formation, he seemed to be no less formidable than a typical Shattered Void.
He...
Actually possesses such strength!?
"Not only has he cultivated the Void Blink to the Great Achievement Realm, but the Sword of the Void as well. That’s how he can directly shatter your Eight Desolates Purgatory head-on. Moreover, the speed at which he releases his Dao Techniques... is also abnormal!"
The Darkness Demon Lord felt equally heavy-hearted.
Alkaid...
Was so powerful that he didn’t seem like someone who had ascended to the Void Refinement Realm not long ago.
Instead, he resembled one of those ancient beings who had immersed themselves in the Void Refinement Realm for thousands of years,
The difference was that his immersion was in the research of Dao Techniques!

A typical Shattered Void could do no more.
And Alkaid, who had just calmly broken out of the joint encirclement of two great Shattered Voids, now had sufficient confidence.
"It seems that the information I got about the strengths and weaknesses of Shattered Voids was not wrong."
Alkaid looked up at the two great Shattered Voids, "So... this is your limit."
"He is in the Void Refinement! Great Success Level Dao Techniques are a huge burden for his Cave Heaven, forcing him to go all out! He won’t be able to keep it up for long!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord made a snap decision to change tactics.
Every Shattered Void was at the pinnacle of this stage, naturally capable of quickly discerning the enemy’s weak points in any battle in order to fight by maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, setting the stage for eventual victory.
"Qi Sha, Wu Changfeng, Chi Yu, Ling Ruogu, all of you attack together. Their strength has been reduced by at least fifty percent. I don’t expect you to defeat these four Void Refinement Demon Cultivators, just tie them up!"
At Alkaid’s command, he bravely struck out against the two great Shattered Void Demon Lords.
"Yes!"
The commanded group shouted in response and swiftly charged towards the four Void Refinement Demon Cultivators.
To keep them tied up so they couldn’t interfere with the battle.
Confronting the two great Shattered Void Demon Cultivators, Alkaid activated the Time Torrent and, in almost the blink of an eye, successively unleashed three Swords of the Void.
One was used to contain the Darkness Demon Lord; the other two surged towards the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, who posed a greater threat to him.
Facing the Sword of the Void struck by Alkaid, the Eight Desolations Demon Lord once again marshaled the Eight Desolates Purgatory to block it.

However, upon the clash of the two Dao Techniques, they ended at a stalemate.
The Eight Desolates Purgatory simply couldn’t seal the Sword of the Void.
Since Alkaid’s rate of releasing Swords of the Void was abnormally fast, one sword followed swiftly by another, the Eight Desolations Demon Lord was unable to prepare a new Dao Technique in time and was quickly put at a disadvantage.
"Capital Dragon Slaying Formation!"
Starting in shock and anger, the Eight Desolations Demon Lord said, "Eight hundred years ago, I battled through the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation. Back then, the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation didn’t have this kind of power to directly strip away two layers of our strength... If it weren’t for this, even if your Sword of the Void were also at the Great Success level, it might not have been able to cut through my Eight Desolates Purgatory!"
A Dao Artifact somewhat like the Two Realms Ruler flashed on his body, seemingly about to carry him away from the second strike of the Sword of the Void.
But at that moment, the Heaven-Sealing Stele swept over.
The powerful force of spatial seal and imprisonment meant that his flickering form only moved less than a mile away.
The Alkaid Divine Sense initiated, and the Sword of the Void slightly adjusted its trajectory, ruthlessly striking his body.
As the sword hit his figure, another Armor Category Dao Artifact emerged from the struck Shattered Void’s body, miraculously blocking the edge of the Sword of the Void.
Yet, it was apparent he had not cultivated the corresponding Dao Technique for this Dao Artifact.
In the clash, the luminescence of this Dao Artifact armor rapidly dimmed.
He also took this opportunity to abruptly withdraw, increasing the distance between them.
"Four Dao Artifacts, truly luxurious!" exclaimed Alkaid.
He himself only had three suitable Dao Artifacts.
These were the You Long Sword, Two Realms Ruler, and Heaven-Sealing Stele.
He never possessed any protective-category Dao Artifacts.
The level of synergy this Eight Desolations Demon Lord had with his Dao Artifacts indeed surpassed his own.
Although Alkaid marveled at the wealth of this Shattered Void, his actions did not slow in the slightest.
Under the boost of Time Torrent, three Swords of the Void were once again released simultaneously.
But this time...
When the Eight Desolations Demon Lord shattered one Sword of the Void and was about to escape, a cyan chain suddenly fell from the sky above.
"Damn it!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord, about to retreat, had a Treasure Mirror above his head spinning, sending out a beam of light that stabilized the Void Chains snaking down from the sky.
At that moment, the force of spatial seal and imprisonment from the Heaven-Sealing Stele fell once more, accompanied by the second oncoming Sword of the Void.
This time...
The lord could no longer activate his Dao Artifact armor.
The edge of the Sword of the Void swept by...
The Demon Lord’s body was instantly cleaved in two.
"Darkness, assist me!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord sent out a psychic shock.
```
The Demon Body, now severed into two, still cast Dao Techniques with motion barely slowed.
But as his Demon Body had split, his control over the innate Demonic Qi within his body had greatly lessened, meaning his hastily released Ten Directions Chaos Kill was even weaker than a minor achievement Dao Technique.
Over four years, Alkaid’s mastery of Dao Techniques at the level of great success had long surpassed just the Sword of the Void and Void Blink. The Starlight Glazed Body and Supreme Selflessness were no exceptions.
As the starlight flickered continuously, when the force of the Ten Directions Chaos Kill that tore through the void reached his body, it was directly warped and failed to rip apart the starlight on his surface completely.
Seizing this opportunity, the Great Annihilation Sword Qi, with the Great Path of Destruction at its core, closely followed and bombarded his bifurcated Demon Body.
"Darkness!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord let out a scream of shock and anger.
It was at this moment that the Darkness Demon Lord belatedly pointed out a Six Senses Deprivation.
Unable to evade in time, Alkaid instantly lost all perception of space, time, direction, matter, energy, and everything else.
Alkaid had just consecutively and quickly released several great success Dao Techniques, causing his Cave Heaven to tremble continuously.
In other words, the power from the Dao seed had been greatly expended and was on the verge of no longer sustaining the stability of his Cave Heaven.
It was for this reason that the Shattered Void mover slowed down a bit, aiming to make the Eight Desolations Demon Lord deplete more of Alkaid’s power.
In this way, he could secure a safer victory in the upcoming battle and ensure that the Eight Desolations Demon Lord suffered severe damage, so when it came time to divide the spoils, he could force him to concede more benefits.
In the cooperation between Demon Cultivators, there’s never real sincerity and wholeheartedness.
Given any opportunity to kick one when down and maximize profit, they would not hesitate in the least.
After the Six Senses Deprivation took control of Alkaid, the Darkness Demon Lord didn’t hesitate to conjure another Dao Technique.
"Infinite Corruption!"
This Dao Technique could drag one’s perceptions into an endless abyss, an infinite darkness, involving not just the pure strength of the Darkness Dao but also a trace of the mystical Soul Dao.
However, what he didn’t know was that, although Alkaid had been affected by his Six Senses Deprivation, the brilliance transformed by the True Spirit’s Light instantly dissipated all of those lost sensations.
At the same time, by the reflection of the Darkness Demon Lord’s position through the True Spirit’s Light, Alkaid also mobilized the power of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, spreading out three azure chains targeting the Darkness Demon Lord, forcing him to flee into the darkness and evade the chains’ assault.
It was at this moment that Alkaid pushed the Time Torrent Dao Technique to its limit.
Aimed at the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, not just a moment passed before he slashed out two Swords of the Void, immediately followed by four Great Annihilation Sword Qi.
Six Dao Techniques!
A full six Dao Techniques, as if six concerted Shattered Void strategists had made a joint attack, formed a relentless series of strikes tearing towards his body.
Once his Demon Body was truly torn apart by the two Swords of the Void and then hit by the four Great Annihilation Sword Qi...
He even faced the risk of falling!
"Alkaid!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord bellowed, his Divine Sense bursting forth, actually discarding half of his body.
Allowing the previously severed half to form a being akin to an avatar, serving as a target to withstand the bombardment of this series of six Dao Techniques, while the other half of his body enveloped in Demonic Flames, soared into the sky, shooting straight up into the clouds.
"Crack!"
Above the heaven’s dome, azure light appeared once more.
Two Void Chains, like azure pythons, ruthlessly bound the Eight Desolations Demon Lord’s body.
At the same time, one Sword of the Void with two Annihilation Sword Qi changed direction, climbing rapidly, closely following the Eight Desolations Demon Lord.
In this life-or-death moment, the Shattered Void Demon Cultivator could no longer care about the pain of using his trump card, he violently swung his hand, releasing a burst of purple radiance.
"Unforbidden Void Divine Thunder! Shatter for me!"
"Rumble!"
The entire Capital Dragon Slaying Formation trembled violently.
In an instant, countless buildings and pavilions that served as the formation’s foundation collapsed, and the energy of the Spirit Stones that maintained the operation of the formation was depleted.
Even though the stability and solidity of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation had improved compared to before, it was still blown open by one of the Eight Desolations Demon Lord’s Unforbidden Divine Thunders.
"Good!"
Overjoyed surprise surged in the Eight Desolations Demon Lord’s eyes, his body transformed into Demonic Flame as it attempted to slip through the gap and escape to the heavens.
But just then, Alkaid, with a Void step, flashed and appeared directly at the blown gap.
Void Blink, in critical moments, can be used to escape.
Similarly...
It can also be used for interception.
"You’re courting death!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord roared, pointing with a phantom hand, prepared to employ the World-Reversing Technique.
But while he attempted the World-Reversing Technique, the Heaven-Sealing Stele’s power of Void Seal pressed down, causing the void to become as impregnable as metal, staunchly resisting the void reversal caused by the Dao Technique.
At the same time, he suddenly spread his hands, and the breached Capital Dragon Slaying Formation was thus quickly reconstructed by him.
"No! No! No!"
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord’s body surged with Void Force, and another Ten Directions Chaos Kill flew towards Alkaid’s body.
But, as he sealed the gap, Alkaid had already pushed the Starlight Glazed Body to its peak; his entire being turned into a burst of dazzling, brilliant stellar brilliance, illuminating the sky.
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord, having lost half of his body and greatly weakened, hastily released another Ten Directions Chaos Kill, which did rapidly dim the brilliance of the Starlight Glazed Body, yet was utterly incapable of shattering this great achievement Protective Dao Technique in an instant.
In the end, he watched helplessly as the path he had blasted open for his escape closed yet again.
And...
The following Sword of the Void and Great Annihilation Sword Qi once again tore his body asunder and obliterated him.
"Buzzing!"
Alkaid’s Cave Heaven World manifested!
This Shattered Void, just like the previous Demon Cultivator, was encapsulated by the Cave Heaven, suppressed deep within it.
