The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 168 Breakthrough, True God!
“Buzz~~~”

This is a chaotic and hazy space, the entire space being only a few hundred feet in length and width.

Within this space, there were eighteen golden-robed figures who looked identical, possessed the same aura, and even shared the same fundamental aura of their souls and true spirits.

These figures all sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, and the fluctuations of their auras were rising like rockets.

Wow!
Suddenly, one of the figures opened his eyes.

"Second level, done!" Lei Zhan had a faint smile on his face. "One bottle of Chaos Elixir was just enough for me to break through Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Demons to the second level."

Lei Zhan looked at the black bottle floating in front of him. It used to be filled with drops of Chaos Spirit Liquid, but now it was completely empty.

"Tao Wu has successfully cultivated the Eighteen Gods and Demons, so let's break through directly!" Lei Zhan said in a low voice.

After his second primordial spirit overcame the innate lightning tribulation and became a celestial god, he directly seized the opportunity to break through to the true god.

After all, the Heavenly Tribulation in the Three Realms is both a tribulation and an opportunity for cultivators.

Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder can help cultivators who refine their bodies to achieve the most perfect divine form. Meanwhile, Innate World-Destroying Thunder makes it easier for cultivators to find that crucial opportunity to break through and become true gods.

With a whoosh, one of the eighteen figures left behind vanished into the chaotic space.

……

Zhaixing Mansion, Quiet Room.

Lei Zhan appeared out of thin air, and in front of the Netherworld Jade Bed, the huge, dark stone tablet floated silently.

After being completely refined by Lei Zhan, the faint, vast pressure of the World Realm level that had previously permeated the stone tablet was completely contained by the stone tablet itself.

Lei Zhan's gaze fell on the stone tablet in front of him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he instantly put the treasure away.

"Chi~~~"

Lei Zhan turned his head and looked at the empty space in the quiet room. His gaze seemed to penetrate through all the barriers, through the Zhaixing Mansion, through the void, to see the Taoist temple on the top of Fangcun Mountain, and to see the thin old man sitting cross-legged in the temple.

Lei Zhan silently transmitted a message to himself, then raised his hand and gently made a gesture in front of him.

"Chi~~~"

As the finger swept across the space, spacetime instantly twisted.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands had completely torn apart the space and time within the quiet room.

In an instant, a passage that distorted spacetime appeared directly in front of Lei Zhan.

call.

Lei Zhan took a step and went inside.

……

Inside the Taoist temple.

A gaunt old man in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a bright yellow prayer mat and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master, I'm going to the Chaos Realm."

A familiar voice echoed in the mind of Patriarch Bodhi. Suddenly, he sensed a faint spatial fluctuation in the mountains.

That was the fluctuation that spread out after the power of spacetime cut through countless barriers, cutting through time and space.

“This little fellow…” Patriarch Bodhi chuckled lightly, not caring at all.

Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit has now passed the Heavenly God Tribulation and comprehended the third level of spacetime power. He no longer needs Patriarch Bodhi to take action and can freely enter and exit the entire Slanting Moon Great World.

The more Bodhi Patriarch looked at his youngest disciple, the more satisfied and approving he became.

"However, as soon as this little guy broke through to the Heavenly God realm, he directly left the Great World of the Crescent Moon..." Patriarch Bodhi said curiously.

His gaze, too, continued to extend along the time-space passage.

"Huh? This is..."

"To travel to the chaos beyond the void of the Three Realms?"

Bodhi Patriarch was taken aback, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

"Heading towards Chaos... It seems my disciple is about to become a true god!"

……

In the endless void, there are enormous stars, the most dazzling of which are the Moon and the Sun.

In fact, in terms of size alone, each of these great worlds is much smaller than the Sun and the Moon.

It is the light and heat released by these two supreme stars that nourish the billions of living beings in the entire Three Realms.

Wow~~~
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void outside the Three Realms. The crack gradually grew larger, forming a spatial passage.

A figure suddenly emerged from the spatial passage.

“We’ve arrived in the void beyond the Three Realms!” Lei Zhan stood in the vast void, looking around.

In the distance behind them lay the Three Realms, which resembled a colossal celestial body. From the outside, the entire Three Realms looked like an incredibly large ellipsoid.

Numerous great worlds are layered and stacked on the surface of this sphere. The Great World of the Crescent Moon, which Lei Zhan just left, is hidden deep within this sphere.

Before Lei Zhan lay an endless void that seemed to have no end.

Only after unleashing the supernatural power of the "Eye of the Candle Dragon" can one see the end of this endless void at a glance.
And at the end of the void lies the vast chaos that is about to unfold.

When Pangu separated heaven and earth, the creation of the world consumed a vast amount of primordial chaos. The surrounding primordial chaos was then exhausted, creating the void – this is the origin of the endless void.

Beyond this endless void, there remains only boundless chaos.

The 'endless' in the endless void has an end, but the chaos outside the endless void truly has no end.

At least, the current team cannot traverse the endless chaos to reach its end.

In fact, Lei Zhan's decision to break through in the chaos outside the Three Realms was related to the divine and demonic body-refining method he cultivated, the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram".

This method is unmatched by many in the entire Three Realms below the level of gods.

At the level of celestial gods and true gods, this method is considered quite good in the Three Realms. However, to break through, one actually needs to absorb a large amount of stellar power.

For example, the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram absorbs the power of the Yin and the power of the Yang.

When Lei Zhan was in the Great World of the Slanting Moon, after cultivating the Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu in the Chaos Prison, he found it difficult to break through directly.

It should be known that the arrays and restrictions within the world's prisons are incredibly profound.

Even within the Three Realms, one can draw upon the chaotic power beyond the Three Realms.

However, if Lei Zhan wants to break through to the True God level in his Divine Demon Body Refinement, the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" he cultivates must absorb the power of the two celestial bodies, the power of the Yin and the power of the Sun, in order to make his divine body more perfect.

However, the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is merely a method created by the Red Bright Dao Ancestor, and at most, one can cultivate it to the level of a True God.

Normally, one absorbs the power of the stars after the supreme stars have transformed the power of chaos, but one cannot bypass the power of the stars and directly absorb the power of chaos.

Therefore, if Lei Zhan wants to break through, he must escape from the world's prison. He even needs to break through into the chaos so that it won't be too conspicuous.

In the endless chaos beyond the Three Realms, find the place shrouded by the two supreme stars, Taiyin Star and Taiyang Star, and directly break through to the level of True God!
Lei Zhan composed himself, flipped his hand, and a small wooden boat the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

The moment the wooden boat appeared, it rapidly grew enormous.

Using the power of spacetime to travel in the void beyond the Three Realms is still too conspicuous.

However, directly using the divine power "Fleeting Light and Shadow" to travel to Chaos would require a considerable amount of divine power. Under such circumstances, using a magical artifact to travel is naturally the most convenient option.

Lei Zhan boarded the Void Ship directly. With a "whoosh," the huge wooden ship instantly transformed into a streak of light, whistling as it flew through the void.

They traveled continuously, passing through one enormous star after another, and soon arrived at the end of the endless void.

The Void Ship plunged directly into the chaos and continued to fly through it.

……

For the past thousand years, Lei Zhan has remained either in the Great World of the Crescent Moon or within the Buddhist community. He has always kept a very low profile.

Now, it suddenly appears in the void, and immediately plunges into the endless chaos, making it seem extremely inconspicuous.

Throughout the entire Three Realms, apart from Patriarch Bodhi, no one noticed that Lei Zhan had suddenly entered endless chaos.

In the endless chaos, even powerful beings at the level of True Gods and Dao Ancestors cannot investigate it at all.

Most importantly, the obstacles in the chaos are too great; even ancestral gods and first-class ancestral immortals are generally unable to explore the chaos in the distant void beyond the Three Realms.

……

In the midst of chaos, an endless gray mist permeated the air.

These hazy, gray mists contain wondrous power. If one can comprehend the 'Chaotic Heavenly Dao,' one can draw upon the 'Power of Chaos' from these chaotic mists.

Clearly, Lei Xian is not yet able to directly draw upon the power of chaos.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to come out; he could have broken through simply by staying in the Crescent Moon Great World.

They could even break through to the Ancestral God level in one go without anyone noticing.

After all, the prisons of the entire world are unexplorable and can be directly isolated from the Heavenly Dao.

Lei Zhan piloted the Void Boat, flying towards the depths of chaos.

The chaos surrounding the Three Realms has been largely explored and understood by the powerful beings within the Three Realms.

The locations of each star, and where terrible dangers might lie, have been thoroughly explored by those powerful beings over countless years.

Just after Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit left the Great World of the Crescent Moon, his true self received information from his master, Patriarch Bodhi, about the chaos surrounding the Three Realms. There was no need to worry about getting lost.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, the void ship suddenly came to a stop. It landed on a massive star engulfed in endless flames.

This star looks remarkably similar to the Sun Star, the supreme star in the void of the Three Realms, and the endless flames on the star are almost comparable to real fire.

However, in reality, this star is only one-tenth the size of the supreme star, the Sun.

"That's it."

Lei Zhan appeared in this chaos, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the Void Boat. He looked at the huge star in front of him, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"From here, I can also sense the power emanating from the Moon and the Sun. But this place is far enough away from the Three Realms. The location is just right!"

Wow.

With one step, Lei Zhan landed directly on the fiery star, sitting cross-legged amidst the endless flames. Lei Zhan felt as if he were bathing in warm water, feeling extremely comfortable.

"This flame isn't hot enough."

Lei Zhan smiled and said something, then immediately began to use the method of breaking through to the True God level in the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram".

"Boom~~~"

It was as if a thunderbolt had ripped through the dim sky, releasing a stunning ray of light.

In an instant, the surrounding chaotic power surged.

“Buzz~~~”

At this moment, a huge sun and moon star appeared directly in the sky above the tower.

The surging power of Yin and Yang rushed into Lei Zhan's body like a storm.

In an instant.

The divine power contained deep within every cell of the divine body was rapidly transforming, with the Dao of 'Time' at its core, and each elemental force was changing rapidly.

Breakthrough to True God, Breakthrough to Ancestral God, or even World God...

In reality, everything needs to have a core concept of 'Tao'.

When breaking through to the Celestial God realm, the core used to develop this second primordial spirit was constructed using the 'Way of Time'.

Now that he is preparing to break through to become a true god, he will naturally follow the same path, using the Great Dao of Time as the core to construct the body of a true god.

In fact, Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit is a pure-blooded three-legged golden crow, and the most suitable path for constructing his divine body is the fire element.

Of course, time and space also have no impact.

In fact, there are no taboos regarding which 'Dao' to use as the core when breaking through in the Three Realms.

The powerful beings in the Three Realms generally comprehend a certain Heavenly Dao, and then use that Heavenly Dao as their core to achieve the status of 'Dao Ancestor'.

However, although Lei Zhan did not obtain the corresponding methods and secret techniques, he knew that the core of the 'Dao' used for each breakthrough in a major realm and each time the divine body was restructured and perfected, at least could not be mutually exclusive!
If one breaks through the core of the chosen 'Dao', and is rejected, the divine body itself will have hidden dangers and will not be able to go very far.

If the hidden dangers are small, one can become an ancestral god, but becoming a world god is much more difficult.

The hidden dangers are great, and they are mutually destructive. Even the ancestral god would find it difficult to become a god, let alone the world god.

Lei Zhan could not possibly be satisfied with merely reaching the level of Ancestral God or World God. Moreover, his current progress in comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Water and Fire is the fastest compared to other Heavenly Daos.

If one takes the Dao of Fire as the core, but the first thing one comprehends in the future is the Dao of Water, then in order to break through to the level of Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal, one will still need to comprehend the corresponding Dao of Fire!
Therefore, Lei Zhan directly constructed the body of a celestial god using the 'Way of Time' and the body of a true god using the 'Great Way of Time'. In the future, when he comprehends the Heavenly Dao and becomes an ancestral god or ancestral immortal, it will not have any impact.

boom! ! !
As the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" True God Scroll was activated, the Nine Directions Qi Refining Method was also activated, forming five streams of Qi in the chest using the Five Elements Minor Path, thus constructing the Five Qi in the chest.

At the same moment, the core of the Pure Yang Golden Elixir is constructed using the Great Dao of Time.

Instantly, it triggered the Five Elements Origin of the Three Realms in the distant future, which was directly transmitted into the first-class Celestial Immortal Golden Core that was being developed.

In an instant, a terrifying, overwhelming suction force spread out from Lei Zhan's body, and on this huge fiery star, the endless flames became erratic.

In an instant, the stellar power accumulated by the Flame Star over countless years was frantically absorbed into Lei Zhan's body.

The moment it is inhaled, it is directly transformed into the purest divine power and immortal magic power.

Meanwhile, the divine body of the stacked figures is constantly transforming and evolving, with every bit of divine power within it undergoing a transformation.
