The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 184 Clash: Top-Tier Dao Ancestors!
"This little guy..."

Suirenshi's eyes seemed to see through the past and future. Although he sat on this desolate star in the chaos, he had already seen through the Three Realms. And his gaze was fixed on the distant Tianchen Great World.

"This little fellow, Lei Zhan..." A gentle smile appeared in Buddha Tathagata's eyes. "While his behavior doesn't diminish our side's dignity, it also seems to be deliberately provoking this Bu Xiu. Interesting!"

From their perspective, Lei Zhan's undisguised deliberate actions naturally revealed something amiss. However, they weren't worried that Lei Zhan had angered a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

In this chaos, apart from the Bodhi Patriarch who was the first to flee, the Suirenshi and Buddha Tathagata were both incarnations. Their true selves were actually in the Three Realms and could save Lei Zhan at any time.

And don't forget...

Nowadays, it's not just Patriarch Bodhi who excels in the Dao of Time and Space in the Three Realms. Lei Zhan's Dao of Time and Space is inherited from Patriarch Bodhi. In addition to being able to control the Golden Flame of the Sun and the Profound Water of the Moon, his power of time and space has reached the third level.

As for Patriarch Bodhi, he knew that Lei Zhan had broken through to the True God level in the Chaos with his second primordial spirit. He had also learned the number one escape technique in the Three Realms, the "Golden Rainbow of the Sun," and inherited his mastery of spacetime. His ability to protect himself was comparable to Bodhi's. Therefore, he had nothing to worry about.

Confident in their ability to act promptly, none of them panicked at all.

“Tathagata,” the Bodhi Patriarch said with a smile, “aren’t you skilled in the Dao of Cause and Effect? ​​You even passed on a scroll of ‘Cause and Effect’ to my disciple. Let’s use your ‘Cause and Effect’ to examine the cause and effect in this matter!”

"Hmm?" Both Suirenshi and Tathagata became somewhat curious.

They had known Bodhi Patriarch for countless years, but this was the first time they had ever seen Bodhi like this.

"Then let me try to see the karma surrounding my disciple!" The Buddha's interest grew stronger.

The path of cause and effect is difficult to traverse. Although he is most proficient in the Five Elements, his power of cause and effect has also reached the third level.

Even the karma of some true gods and Dao ancestors can be seen by Tathagata. Now that Lei Zhan and the God King Bu Xiu are not far apart, it should not be difficult for them to see some things between them.

Wow!
Buddha Tathagata closed his eyes, then opened them again, revealing a vertical eye that opened between his brows, with golden light emanating from all three eyes.

A dazzling golden light filled my eyes, yet my gaze remained distant.

As the Buddha's gaze continued to extend, passing through layers of chaos and the endless void beyond the Three Realms, it arrived directly at the ten-thousand-foot-high sky above the Heavenly Chen Great World.

The gray lines that were normally invisible became clear and were reflected in the eyes of the Buddha.

These gray lines are the concrete manifestation of cause and effect. Generally, only those who walk the path of cause and effect have the opportunity to see them with their own eyes.

Standing high in the sky, Lei Zhan himself is surrounded by countless lines of cause and effect.

While not perfectly organized, it was still fairly methodical.

Beneath these countless gray lines, many are only half-connected before breaking off.

These broken lines of cause and effect will become increasingly dim and transparent under the polishing of time, until they disappear completely.

Some of them were directly connected to the celestial gods and immortals below.

Others, however, are indiscriminately connected to the outside world of Tianchen Great World.

The Buddha's gaze sharpened, instantly locking onto one of the gray lines. One end of that line connected to the God-King's Cloth, while the other was on the ground.

Wow~~~
Suddenly, when Ru saw these things clearly, his eyes dimmed, and the countless gray lines in his eyes disappeared.

"Hmm?" A solemn expression suddenly appeared in Buddha Tathagata's eyes. This was the "Heavenly Eye," created after he had spent countless years comprehending the Dao of Cause and Effect. Generally speaking, observing a true immortal wouldn't consume energy this quickly!

Even if he knew that the Qi cultivation method Lei Zhan practiced was special, and that a Pure Yang True Immortal could be comparable to a True God or Dao Ancestor, it still shouldn't be like this!
"Bodhi, tell me the truth! Do you know that this little fellow Lei Zhan has broken through to the True God level?" Tathagata turned to look at Patriarch Bodhi and secretly transmitted his voice: "He actually broke through to the True God level so quietly... His method of concealing his aura has even deceived us!"

"Hmm?" The smile on Bodhi Patriarch's face grew even wider, and he transmitted his voice, "So you've discovered it! As for his method of concealing his aura... we all know it."

"Hmm? Is it the method brought by that demon god Rahu?" Tathagata immediately understood.

Although their joint efforts to slay the chaotic alien race Rahu came at a great cost and were incredibly difficult, they also gained many unimaginable benefits afterward.

And within this lies the method of concealing one's aura.

Many powerful figures, such as Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones, also studied it. This naturally included Suiren and a few others.

……

"If you're too scared to make a move, then get lost!"

"The King of the Infernal Affairs? Ha!"

"It's just a turtle that's lived in a pond for a thousand years!"

Lei Zhan's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the entire Tianchen Great World.

At this moment, all the billions of living beings who originally lived in this great world raised their heads!

Whether they are ordinary beings who have never cultivated, or innate beings or cultivators of the Purple Mansion who have embarked on the path of cultivation, or even True Persons of Myriad Manifestations or Daoists of the Primordial Spirit...

Countless living beings heard the mockery hidden in that arrogant and domineering voice.

At the same time, the gods and immortals on both sides who were fighting desperately below also raised their heads at this moment!
"Heavens! How dare he! He actually insults the God-King of my Boundless Sect like this?!" "Damn it! How dare he offend the God-King's majesty!"

"This, this... this Lei Zhan, how dare he insult a True God Ancestor like this? He's courting death!"

"That's Wang, the undisputed king of our Wujian Sect! He's dead!"

"This Lei Zhan killed so many celestial gods and immortals of my Wujian Sect. Now the wheel of fortune has turned, and today it is his turn to suffer eternal damnation!"

The remaining gods and immortals of the Boundless Gate revealed complex emotions in their eyes: fear, shock, surprise, exhilaration, and hatred...

A multitude of complex emotions were mixed together, but in addition to their opponents, their gazes also lingered on the two figures above.

"Hmm? Well said! This true god ancestor... Hahaha!" The face of the Silver Moon God was distorted by the excruciating pain, but it did not stop him from laughing heartily.

"Turtle? Isn't that the one I, Old Bear, stomp on a whole bunch of them?" Flying Bear Heavenly God, leading the Three-Eyed Demon God, also laughed out loud. This laughter enraged the Three-Eyed Demon God opposite him, causing his face to contort into a ferocious expression, and he began wildly slashing with his weapon.

"A turtle? This black-robed man, with his concealed appearance and repulsive demeanor, does bear a striking resemblance." The Red Snow Celestial God's strength had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial God True Immortal realm, and his control of the Seven Luminaries Celestial Gods was at the threshold of the Dao Ancestor level, making it far easier and more comfortable for him than for the other Seven Luminaries Celestial Gods. He even had time to observe what was above.

With Lei Zhan protecting them, they were not afraid of the God King Bu Xiu making a move. Just now, the Dao Ancestor's manipulation of the power of heaven and earth to create countless forms had given them quite a fright.

But in the end, it was not very easy for it to be completely annihilated into nothingness by the endless, overwhelming golden flames of the sun and the mysterious water of the moon.

……

"Hmm?" The voices of gods and immortals discussing among themselves could be heard.

The black-robed god-king's expression changed, his heart filled with boundless rage.

To insult a junior like this to his face. And to have all the beings of the Great World, including the gods and immortals below, hear it clearly!
Moreover, the moment he appeared here, countless eyes throughout the Three Realms were secretly watching him!

It can be said that if he does not take some action, he will not only lose face, but will also become a laughing stock in the entire Three Realms!
As the nominal leader of the Wujian Sect, I absolutely cannot bear such an insult!

"Damn it..." Although the black-robed god-king was furious, he still had a shred of reason. Lei Zhan's behavior was very abnormal!
"Such confidence... Could it be that besides the Solar Golden Flame and the Lunar Profound Water, they have some other trump card?"

A thousand thoughts flashed through the black-robed god-king's mind, but he suppressed his desire to leave as soon as possible.

"Not leaving?" Lei Zhan raised an eyebrow. "Then..."

"Death!"

Boom~~~~

Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Wheel of Life and Death descended, and for a time, the surrounding area of ​​millions of miles was engulfed in water and fire. The water was the Yin Xuan Water, and the fire was the Taiyang Golden Flame.

"This water-controlling supernatural power..." The black-robed god-king frowned and immediately released a magical artifact to defend against it.

Although Lei Zhan released the Yin Profound Water using a secret technique, it was somewhat difficult for the black-robed god-king to discern its nature. He had been somewhat uncertain before, but now…

"Whirling River! It's the divine power Whirlwind River! Where did you learn this divine power from?!" In a flash, this thought flashed through the mind of the black-robed god-king, but immediately afterward, the endless killing intent in his eyes became even more intense!
The supernatural power "Whirling River" is one of the three top-tier secret techniques that his master, the Lord of Inner Demons, obtained while venturing into the chaos.

Of the three secret techniques, "Seven Hearts," "Whirling River," and "Shadowless," only "Seven Hearts" is known to his master, the Lord of Heart Demons, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Wind Demon Society.

The remaining two sects also had some members from the God and Demon Society of the Wujian Sect.

But where did these gods from Nuwa's camp, whom we've never met before, learn this from?

Thinking of this, the black-robed god-king felt a vague unease. And then there was Lei Zhan's earlier revelation that had confirmed his identity…

Every single thing at this moment has transformed into countless thoughts.

It seems that he unknowingly stepped into a web carelessly woven by a young spider!

"Want to know? I'll tell you after you die!" Lei Zhan had a cold smile on his lips. His figure blurred, and suddenly he appeared with three heads and six arms. In an instant, his entire divine body also grew to a height of ten thousand feet!
"die!"

At this moment, Lei Zhan has three heads and six arms, with intricate star-picking divine patterns on all six arms, and his body is shining with golden light.

This was his first time fighting a powerful being at the level of a True God or Dao Ancestor. Moreover, the powerful beings of the Wujian Sect had all witnessed him unleashing the Divine Power of the Whirlpool River, and it was unknown whether they would intervene at some point.

Faced with this situation, Lei Zhan naturally went all out to kill the God-King Bu Xiu as quickly as possible, thus settling the karmic debt he had unintentionally incurred in his youth!

"Let me die?" Around the God-King Buxiu, beads shimmered with endless starlight, each bead resembling a massive chaotic star, engulfing Lei Zhan from all directions.

As a disciple of the Lord of Inner Demons, besides manipulating people's hearts and gathering intelligence, his combat skills are naturally not lacking either!
He had grown from a weakling step by step in the chaotic world of Wujian, and he only came here to cultivate the second primordial spirit of Qi.

However, with the accumulation of countless years, possessing a set of innate, supreme Star Beads is enough to crush the vast majority of true gods and Dao Ancestors.

Even though this Lei Zhan controls the terrifying golden flames of the sun and the mysterious waters of the moon... how much of the power of this level of true immortal can he unleash?
Just like how innate ultimate spiritual treasures are indeed terrifyingly powerful, but if an ordinary being obtains one, how much of the treasure's power can they unleash?
The strength of a treasure can only be demonstrated among those of the same level!
However, their cultivation levels were unequal, and their Dao levels were also unequal. Even though God-King Buxiu was somewhat afraid of the power of the Ancestral Water and Ancestral Fire, he still believed that his chances of winning were extremely high!
"Go! Crush him!" God King Bu Xiu pointed into the distance, and the ninety-nine enormous stars that shone with starlight crashed down like meteorites!

At the same time, a shield-like magical artifact, resembling a tortoise shell and covered with countless intricate patterns, also protected him.
