The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 180 Escape

"Master."

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan turned his head and looked over.

Red Snow Celestial God stepped forward and looked at Lei Zhan, saying, "Lord of the Palace. The Celestial Gods and True Immortals of the Wujian Sect in this Black Jade Great World are all led by Remnant Cloud Celestial God."

"Our side, though also spontaneously formed by numerous celestial gods and true immortals like the Purple Cloud Great World, is led by the Black Axe Celestial God and three deputy generals of the Winter Propagation Army under Emperor Zhuanxu..."

Lei Zhan smiled slightly, "I also know about the Dongxuan Army matter. It's alright, we're here to help them drive away the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals of the Wujian Sect, and we won't have any conflict with them."

"Moreover, this Black Jade World is nothing to Emperor Zhuanxu. In the end, who will obtain this world will depend on their own contributions."

Those present were all powerful cultivators, and with just a slight mention from the Red Snow Celestial God, they understood the concerns involved.

If Dongxuan Army truly wants to conquer this great world, they won't be as easy to talk to as Tianyou Zhenxian and Sumeru Luohan.

If it really comes to the point of infighting... the Infernal Affairs Bureau will really be laughing at us.

"Hmm." The Crimson Snow God nodded slightly. He was just offering a reminder.

The Black Jade Great World is indeed quite valuable, but whether it is worthwhile to forge a feud with the forces of Emperor Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors of the ancient royal family, is a question that the Lord of Leizhan must decide for himself.

Of course, this is only one possibility. A possibility with an extremely low probability. Generally, powerful individuals also maintain some tacit understanding with each other.

As Lei Zhan said, a great world is completely insignificant to a top Dao Ancestor like Emperor Zhuanxu.

Just like Lei Zhan, who possessed the world's prison, he wouldn't even bother to glance at an ordinary innate spiritual treasure in front of him.

Lei Zhan withdrew his gaze and didn't take it to heart.

"This matter is something we need to deal with later. Let me explore this Black Jade Great World properly."

Wow~~~
With a thought, Lei Zhan released his mental power, which almost instantly enveloped the entire world.

Mental power is ethereal and intangible... To encompass a vast world, one must reach the fourth level. Most importantly, the coverage of mental power... leaves no trace whatsoever. Unless one possesses mental power at the same level, it is completely undetectable.

It should be noted that even the master of Rulei Zhan, Patriarch Bodhi, and other top beings in the Three Realms such as Tathagata, only possessed the fourth level of mental power.

On the surface, there is only one person whose mental strength is at the fifth level. That is Hou Yi, the senior brother who disguised himself as a woodcutter.

"As expected of generals under Emperor Zhuanxu, even with only three deputy generals here, they are all well-organized and heavily guarded. Those celestial beings and demons are like armies." Lei Zhan thought to himself with admiration.

"No wonder the Heavenly Gods and the Boundless Gate faction in the Purple Cloud Great World and the Heavenly Chen Great World are evenly matched. Only the Black Jade Great World has been able to gain a slight advantage."

With a sweep of his mental energy, Lei Zhan quickly gained a general understanding of both his own side and the Wujian Sect.

“The Wujian Sect has just reached twenty Celestial Gods and True Immortals here. On our side, the number of Celestial Gods and True Immortals is about the same as that of the Wujian Sect.” Lei Zhan turned his head and looked at the Celestial Gods, and said, “Let’s go directly to the Black Axe Celestial God’s camp.”

"Yes!" Red Snow Goddess, Silver Moon Goddess, and the others nodded one by one.

Last time they were a surprise attack, but surprise attacks are usually most effective the first time they are used.

After the Wujian Sect suffered a great loss and lost two celestial immortals, they would definitely be on guard against this matter.

Even if it happened again like it did in the Purple Cloud Great World, Wujianmen might not fall for it, so Lei Zhan didn't take Hongxue Tianshen and the others into the Zhaixing Great World again.

Whoosh.

The Void Boat rolled over the endless sea of ​​clouds and immediately flew towards a vast plain.

……

On a vast, boundless plain, there was a huge, continuous military camp.

In the largest tent at the very center of the military camp, there were numerous long tables, each in front of which sat a celestial being. Seated at the very head of the table was a disheveled man carrying a large black axe.

Around him sat three generals clad in armor.

These enormous tents housed the celestial beings and immortals who remained in the Black Jade Great World.

"Have you heard? The Star-Picking Palace from ancient times has reappeared in the Three Realms. As soon as it appeared, it followed the Arhat Sumeru and the True Immortal of Heavenly Wandering and almost wiped out all the gods and true immortals of the Wujian Sect in the Purple Cloud Great World."

A golden-armored deity was eating and drinking the wine and meat in front of him, while also chatting with the other deities and immortals around him.

"That's natural. He killed thirty-five Celestial Gods and True Immortals in one go." A True Immortal beside the Golden-Armored Celestial God said, "That Lord of the Star-Picking Palace, the Celestial God Lei Zhan, even killed two Seven Luminaries Celestial Gods and five Celestial God Puppets by himself. The Great Dream Celestial God was so frightened that he begged for mercy and was willing to offer up all his treasures!"

"Offer up all the treasures? Isn't that Great Dream God a disciple of the God King of the Boundless Gate? How did he go mad and lose his mind?" The True Immortal beside him sneered, "With his death, won't he get all the treasures?"

"In short, it will only be a matter of one or two days. I heard that quite a few solitary celestial beings and immortals have joined the Star-Picking Palace lineage."

"Tsk tsk tsk! That Lei Zhantian God is not only extremely strong, but his subordinate forces are also by no means weak!"

"You know, even the incredibly famous Red Snow God from ancient times was willing to serve under him! Now that the Thunder God has gone to the Purple Cloud Great World, will he go to the Heavenly Chen Great World and our Black Jade Great World next?" "Probably... With the methods of such a cold-faced Asura, once the golden flames of the sun burn, a large number of gods and true immortals will die directly. He probably won't let that Remnant Cloud God go either!"

The Black Axe God and the three commanders of the Winter Proclamation Army looked at the gods and immortals discussing in the hall, and felt a little itchy.

The Star-Picking Palace has reappeared in the Three Realms...

The gods control the golden flames of the sun...

After a thousand years of fierce battles in the Purple Cloud Great World, a decisive victory has suddenly been decided...

Thirty-five celestial beings and immortals perished in one fell swoop...

No matter which message it is, it can spread throughout the Three Realms for a long time.

But all of these events happened almost simultaneously, and all of them happened to the same person at the same time. Even the Black Axe God and the others were filled with curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yan, do you think this Heavenly God Lei Zhan might come to our Black Jade Great World?" the disheveled man carrying a black double-edged axe asked. "If he does come to our Black Jade Great World, he can help us drive out the scum of the Boundless Sect directly!"

"Help us?" True Immortal Xuyan shook his head and said, "Even if they come and help us, the ownership of this Black Jade Great World will belong to this Heavenly God Lei Zhan!"

"The right to the ownership of the Black Jade Great World?" Black Axe God shook his head and smiled. "Let it be his. As long as those bastards from the Boundless Sect can get out, that's fine. In the ancient war of destruction, thanks to the Boundless Sect, most of my people died. And judging from the performance of you powerful beings, we probably won't have to fight another war with the Boundless Sect."

"If this new Lord of the Star-Picking Palace is indeed as rumored, I, Black Axe, would also like to find a more stable place to settle down and properly nurture my clansmen."

"Hmm?" Xu Yan Zhenxian looked at the Black Axe God with considerable surprise, and even the other two commanders sitting around him looked over.

Anyone with eyes can see the ambition of this Lord of the Star-Picking Palace. It is said that he has simultaneously become a disciple of both the Bodhi Patriarch and the leader of the Buddhist sect.

With only the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal, he could threaten even a True God Ancestor, and his subordinates were numerous and powerful generals...

All these factors combined make it easy to see that a future overlord of the Three Realms is about to rise.

Even Emperor Zhuanxu, upon learning the ins and outs of the Purple Cloud Great World, secretly issued an order: If Lei Zhan is interested in this Black Jade Great World, after driving away the Wujian Sect, this great world will be given to Lei Zhan, thus forming a good relationship.

"Even you, Black Axe, want to join the Star-Picking Prefecture lineage... We invited you to join our Winter Propagation Army three times before, but you kept quiet!" Lin Shui Tianshen, another commander of the Winter Propagation Army, immediately mocked.

“Dong Xuanjun… I won’t go, I won’t go! The discipline is too strict! I, Black Axe, still prefer to be carefree and free.” Black Axe God shook his head repeatedly, “And if this Star-Picking Mansion is truly worth following, I, Black Axe, will be willing to go.”

“However, it seems that the one who travels outside is only the second primordial spirit of this Heavenly God Lei Zhan. His true self is actually one of my human races…” True Immortal Xu Yan recalled the news of his old friend and then transmitted his voice, saying, “It is a blessing for my human race that such a monstrous talent has been born again!”

"Human? Isn't he a three-legged golden crow that can control the golden flames of the sun?" The Black Axe God was taken aback, but suddenly seemed to sense something. A smile appeared on his face.

"Ok?"

"We were just talking about this Deity Lei Zhan, and now he's here?"

The commanders and the Black Axe God clearly sensed the enormous wooden ship that was crushing the endless clouds and mist, and they all laughed.

"Let's go and greet this Lord of the Star-Picking Palace!"

"Let's go! We've long been eager to meet someone like him!"

……

It was still within that black city.

"What?" The Heavenly God Canyun's expression was solemn. He could naturally sense the huge wooden boat that had landed on the open ground in front of the military camp.

The appearance of the Void Boat, the ultimate innate spiritual treasure, was thoroughly obtained by Canyun Tianshen and his group through various channels.

As soon as the void boat landed, it felt as if a huge meteorite had fallen into the hearts of the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals of the Boundless Gate, including the Heavenly God of Remnant Clouds, directly stirring up a storm of waves.

"Canyun, what do we do now?"

Twenty celestial beings and immortals gathered in the enormous hall of the black city. All of them looked at the Celestial God Canyun, who sat above them.

"What should we do?" Canyun Tianshen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! We must leave this Black Jade Great World first!"

"Leave?" All the gods and immortals of the Wujian Sect nodded in agreement.

The Heavenly God Black Axe, leading a group of Celestial Immortals, was already evenly matched with their side. Now, a whole host of Celestial Immortals have arrived, along with that terrifying Lei Zhan…

Knowing full well that staying means certain death, yet still choosing to fight to the death, is simply throwing your life away!

"Yes! We'll go directly to the Heavenly Chen Great World to find Dong Liang and the others!"
