The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 162 Send them off, leave quickly.

"To defeat you is to make you submit?"

Lei Zhan looked at the one-horned demon god in front of him, whose aura was powerful and terrifying.

If it were before he underwent the Heavenly Tribulation and was still in the Void Returning stage, Lei Zhan would not have been confident of victory.

But now...

The level of refining the body to become a god is the level of a celestial being, while the level of cultivating qi is the level of a first-class celestial being.

When one's mental strength reaches the fourth level, 'Mortal Realm', even the power of time and space at the third level are perfectly combined to form the power of spacetime.

The third level of spacetime power alone is comparable to the fourth level of primordial power.

With Lei Zhan's current strength, he is among the most powerful among even the gods and immortals.

"Yes. I, Old Bear, admire those who are stronger than me the most." Flying Bear God's voice was deep and resonant, like the hum of a morning bell.

"Back in the ancient Pangu World, I couldn't defeat the God King, so I became his disciple. I'm still a bit inferior to Hong Xue, so I can also acknowledge Hong Xue as my elder brother! Today, your victory over me proves that you have the strength to make me submit. Even if I acknowledge you as the Lord of the Palace, I will do so willingly!"

Lei Zhan looked around and saw a hint of mockery in the eyes of the few gods and immortals, including the Heavenly God Ru Fanyu, who were about to leave.

Behind them, the eight celestial gods who had long since submitted also had a hint of anticipation on their faces.

Cultivators, by their very nature, revere strength. This is even more true of warlike gods and demons.

Gods and demons, by their very nature, are warlike. They fight against the heavens, the earth, and even themselves.

Lei Zhan smiled and gave a simple reply.

"it is good."

"agreed?"

"Did they agree to this base extension?"

"How dare he fight the Flying Bear! He's just a little brat who recently broke through to become a Celestial God. He doesn't know his own limitations!"

"I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Lei Zhan will be humiliated in front of Hong Xue and the others."

The gods, including the Heavenly God of the Fish, all saw this and secretly looked forward to it.

None of them believed that the team could win.

After all, Flying Bear God was also a top warrior of the Star-Picking Palace lineage.

If the radiance of the Red Snow God had not been so dazzling, the name of the Flying Bear God would have been as renowned throughout the entire ancient Pangu world as the Red Snow God.

"accepted!"

"The Lord of the Manor agreed?"

"I just placed a bet! This Flying Bear can only last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!"

"A cup of tea? I'll bet half a cup of tea's time!"

"It is said that the Lord's second primordial spirit is a pure three-legged golden crow, which is much stronger than the bloodline of this stupid bear. The battle between them should be decided very quickly." The Red Snow Celestial God shook his head secretly.

"This stupid bear has remained so stubborn even after countless years. But letting him see the power of the Lord of the Manor should be a good thing!"

……

The Star-Picking World is a desolate, uninhabited swamp.

Two towering figures, each tens of thousands of feet tall, stood in the middle of the great swamp. The swamp was extremely deep, yet even so, the water barely reached the calves of the two figures.

These two figures were none other than Lei Zhan and Fei Xiong Tian Shen.

Above, in the sky, stood two distinct groups of gods and demons.

One group had a large number of people, while the other group had a small number.

They are facing each other from afar.

"Go ahead!"

A smile played on Lei Zhan's face.

This battle was his first after breaking through to the level of a Celestial God.

He wasn't just trying to make the Flying Bear God submit. He also wanted Hong Xue and the others behind him to know that following him meant they would no longer remain silent in the Three Realms!
"Huh? Make a move?" Flying Bear God was stunned.

Is this little guy looking down on Old Bear? How dare he be so arrogant?
"You don't use magic weapons?" Flying Bear God roared.

“No need!” Lei Zhan said with a smile.

"Hmph!" A hint of displeasure immediately appeared on Flying Bear Celestial God's face as he muttered to himself:

"This Lei Zhan didn't even take out his weapon? Even when Hong Xue fought me, he took out his long spear."

"Since you don't care about your reputation, then I'll teach you a lesson!"

Wow.

With a flick of his wrist, Flying Bear God conjured two gleaming silver octagonal hammers, and boundless fighting spirit emanated from his entire body.

"If you don't want dignity, then let me, Old Bear, give you dignity!"

"die!"

Flying Bear God roared, wielding two giant hammers, his towering figure swirling as he rampaged across the swamp, countless surging water droplets crashing directly towards Lei Zhan.

"Let me die? You?" Lei Zhan chuckled, his figure blurring as he transformed into a streak of light, his speed reaching its peak.

Even the gods present could not catch a glimpse of Lei Zhan.

"Hu~~"

Lei Zhan's eyes held an air of dominance over the world. With a gentle wave of his hand, a faint, hazy light emanated from his large, cloud-like hand.

With a single palm strike, the palm slanted like a crescent moon, twisting space and time.

Suddenly, time became disordered and space shattered.

"Huh? What's going on?" Flying Bear God suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Before the enormous hand even touched him, he felt time was distorted. One moment it was incredibly fast, and the next it was as slow as a snail's crawl.

All around him, the endless space shattered, and the crushing power emanating from that broken void filled him with immense dread. This bizarre feeling made him feel as if he were facing the Crimson Snow God.

"Damn it!" roared the Flying Bear God, "Shatter!"

In an instant, Flying Bear God was enveloped in a dense aura of bloodlust, his face flushed red as he frantically swung his hammer.

Finally, with all its might, the Flying Bear God managed to break free from that strange spacetime.

In that instant—

Lei Zhan then approached the Flying Bear God. The Flying Bear God swung his two enormous warhammers, carrying an endless and profound aura, as if two endless earths were crashing down on Lei Zhan.

Lei Zhan did not dodge, choosing to meet the attack head-on. The two enormous hands were like a vast world descending, emanating an endless and terrifying aura of destruction.

"Boom~~~"

In an instant, the earth shook and the sky collapsed.

Lei Zhan slammed his palms directly onto the two massive hammers. They resembled two boundless worlds, and his entire hand was an extremely terrifying magical artifact!

"Wh-what?" Flying Bear God's expression changed drastically. Under that terrifying palm, it felt as if an entire world was pressing down. Instantly, the two large hammers in his hands became incredibly heavy.

You should know that Lei Zhan's palm alone wouldn't have made him so vulnerable, but the terrifying explosive power attached to that palm suddenly erupted, leaving him completely defenseless.

Boom~~~

Lei Zhan's hands slammed directly onto the giant hammer. Before Fei Xiong Tian Shen could even defend himself, the hammer crashed back towards his chest, and then he was slammed into the endless swamp by the two hands.

crush.

Completely crushed.

The terrifying fourth-level mental strength and the supernatural power of the Star-Picking Hand erupted simultaneously. In Lei Zhan's hands, under those hands comparable to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the supernatural power "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" seemed to undergo a terrifying chemical reaction.

With a single palm strike, he crushed Flying Bear God like a whirlwind!

"This……"

"Suppressed with a single palm strike?"

"That palm strike just now, apart from the God King's Star-Picking Hand... if I'm not mistaken, it seemed as if a whole world existed within each of the Palace Master's palms!"

"A vast world! That is the great supernatural power of Buddha Tathagata, the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand!"

The gods were all shocked.

Whether it was the mortal fish god who wanted to leave the Star-Picking Palace, or the gods who were the first to submit, such as Red Snow, Snow Scorpion, and Yuan Guang.

They never expected that the top ten hand-type supernatural power in the entire Three Realms would be learned by the same person.

Furthermore, the two can be combined with each other.

This power...

"He's...that strong?"

"This guy must be at the level of a Dao Ancestor!"

"This... the Lord actually slapped Flying Bear to the ground with a single blow! Then what about our departure..."

"Leave? Why would a monstrous lord leave when he's following such a prodigy? If he continues to grow like this, it won't be difficult for him to become another God-King!"

The gods beside Fanyu, having witnessed Lei Zhan's strength, began to waver.

While being the ruler of a great world may seem carefree, it is a helpless choice made without a powerful backer or a true god or ancestor.

If there is a true god or ancestor standing behind you, the benefits you receive will be far greater than those of a mere world lord!
"Fan Yu, I don't want to leave!" A winged god-demon transmitted his voice, "The new Lord of the Palace is so powerful, I believe he can lead us to stand at the top of the Three Realms again."

“Brother Fanyu, I’ve decided to stay. Following the Lord of the Manor, I feel as if I’m seeing the same feeling I had when I followed the God King.”

"Fan Yu, I'll stay too..."

Immediately, three celestial gods secretly transmitted their messages to the mortal fish celestial god, deciding to stay.

They had waited for billions of years in this Star-Picking World, and even the Flying Bear God could stay, so they believed that it would be no problem for them as well.

Moreover, the Star-Picking Palace is about to be born, and it is precisely the time when it needs power.

They are all powerful gods, and it's likely that the new lord wouldn't refuse to have a few more powerful gods under his command.

"Huh? Damn it! Damn it!" The face of the Celestial Fish God was ashen and extremely ugly.

The seven great gods who once dominated the three realms have been mostly gone in the blink of an eye.

How could he not be furious?
But when he glanced at the towering figure that resembled a demon god, his anger seemed to be doused with a bucket of ice water.

Let him resist; not to mention he had no chance of winning in the first place. And now... even their strongest warrior, Flying Bear God, is nothing more than a slap from someone else.

Even if he, the Heavenly God of the Ordinary Fish, and the remaining two formed a Three-Eyed Demon God Formation, it would probably only take a few slaps.

As for whether Lei Zhan was willing to accept it, Fan Yu Tian Shen didn't even consider it, especially since those few gods had changed their minds.

After all, those were three powerful and skilled celestial gods. Even a true god or Dao ancestor would not refuse to have a few more powerful celestial gods under their command.

……

call.

A towering figure, thousands of feet tall, emerged from the mud and stood atop the vast swamp.

"Lord of the Prefecture. Flying Bear is willing to submit!" Flying Bear, the Celestial God, put away the two large hammers in his hands, knelt on one knee, and his deep voice was extremely respectful.

There was no trace of his previous arrogance.

"Get up." Lei Zhan's smile remained unchanged as he nodded slightly. "Since you are willing to submit, you are considered to be under my command. Under my command, there are only two rules."

"First, obey orders."

"Second, kneeling is not allowed."

"This...is it!" Flying Bear God showed a hint of astonishment on his face, and respectfully performed another kneeling ceremony before standing up.

at this time.

"Master."

"Master of the Palace!"

“We pay our respects to the Lord of the Palace! We…” The three celestial beings who wanted to stay exchanged glances, “We are also willing to submit to the Lord of the Palace!”

"you?"

Lei Zhan turned to look at the three celestial beings falling from the sky, and then glanced at the two celestial beings standing with the celestial being Fan Yu in the sky. His expression was calm, showing no trace of joy or anger.

Lei Zhan said calmly, "I won't force you to leave if you want to. But if you want to leave and then think about coming back..."

"I hate betrayal the most."

Lei Zhan's voice was extremely faint, yet at this moment it was like thunder, stirring up waves of shock in the hearts of all the gods.

"Hongxue, Snow Scorpion, Yuan Guang."

Lei Zhan looked up at three of the eight celestial beings of the Star-Picking Palace, "Tell these six to leave immediately!"
