The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 185 Overlord of the Three Realms
"bead?"

"A supreme innate treasure composed of ninety-nine top-grade innate spiritual treasures?"

Lei Zhan gazed at the star beads from afar, a chill creeping into his eyes.

"die!"

Rumble~~~
In an instant, the six arms of that ten-thousand-foot-tall figure grew exponentially, each palm seemingly containing a vast world, while countless mysterious and terrifying Star-Picking Divine Runes were superimposed on its palms.

Although it's not as powerful as the sixth iteration of the Star-Picking Hand, where each palm strike is comparable to a Chaos Treasure, the fifth iteration of the Star-Picking Hand already reaches the level of a Primordial Treasure. With the added blessing of the Buddha Kingdom within the palm, it is far more terrifying than the Star-Picking Hand alone.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
With a frenzied slapping motion, the star beads, resembling chaotic stars, were easily deflected by the six outstretched arms, like tiny pebbles.

"Huh? How is that possible?" God King Bu Xiu's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He had easily swatted away the Star Pearl, a supreme innate treasure, with just his bare hands.

Moreover, this scene was extremely familiar to him.

"Besides the Buddha Kingdom in your palm... you also know the Star-Picking Hand?" God King Bu Xiu's gaze fell on the six hands that were unleashing terrifying power.

He wasn't surprised that the Star-Picking Hand was being used at the exhibition. To cultivate the Star-Picking Hand to this level, and to unleash both of these divine abilities together, possessed some of the power of the Three Longevity Daoist's mastered Star-Picking Hand...

But what he didn't know was that this time, Lei Zhan made no attempt to conceal his supernatural power, the Star-Picking Hand. Instead, he chose to unleash it without reservation.

"Want to know?" Lei Zhan's voice was icy cold. "I'll tell you again after you die!"

Wow~~~
A terrifying wave emanated from Lei Zhan, and countless golden beads appeared around him.

These beads number more than the Star Beads of the God-King Bearded One, totaling three thousand six hundred. Each one is like a star, like a world, suspended in the high sky, radiating incomparably terrifying power.

This is a complete set of Heavenly Star Golden Pearls.

Phew~~~
Countless golden rays flowed across the Heavenly Star Golden Pearls, and the incomparably profound Ninefold Chaos Restriction constantly shifted, while the three thousand six hundred Heavenly Star Golden Pearls rapidly transformed into the Thirty-Six Heavens.

Twenty years is a hundred years if you accelerate time five times.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed. Three avatars have worked together to comprehend the nine layers of chaotic restrictions. Even though the nine layers of chaotic restrictions are extremely difficult to comprehend, under Lei Zhan's terrifying comprehension, it was as if water had naturally flowed through the channel, and Lei Zhan directly comprehended the fourth layer of restrictions.

And this golden pearl of the heavens, which was engraved with nine layers of chaotic restrictions, transformed into the thirty-six heavens and evolved into the flying swords most suitable for him.

These thirty-six heavens transformed into flying swords, which seemed to be divided into water and fire, and could separate into yin and yang.

"Yin Yang - Wheel of Life and Death!" Lei Zhan pointed to the distance, and the thirty-six flying swords around him, each a different color—water and fire—slowly rotated.

Water is yin and fire is yang.

The sword is the sinews and bones, while water and fire are the flesh and blood.

At first, the thirty-six flying swords seemed to be spinning with great difficulty, but their speed gradually increased, and they soon formed a huge rotating wheel.

At the same time, the vast and mighty golden flames of the sun and the mysterious water of the moon immediately surrounded them, attaching themselves to the terrifying flying swords, and turning the wheel into an incomparably terrifying giant wheel.

At the center of the roulette wheel, water and fire are in opposition, chasing each other and unleashing a terrifying force of strangulation.

"Hmm? This secret technique..." God King Bu Xiu's expression changed. This terrifying secret technique alone made him feel an incredibly dreadful sense of threat. He had a premonition that if he were truly enveloped and strangled by this water and fire wheel... he would die!
"Go!" With a thought, Lei Zhan unleashed a massive wheel of endless water and fire, which raged and savagely attacked. In that instant, he transformed into a golden rainbow that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and appeared before the God King Bu Xiu with a whooshing sound.

"Hmm?" God King Bu Xiu frowned.

With a thought, the ninety-nine star beads condensed into a terrifying star beast, which directly confronted the water and fire wheel.

The surrounding tortoise-shell shield resembled an immense, colossal mountain in the midst of chaos, completely enveloping him.

call out!
At that moment, Lei Zhan's six arms descended!

The arm glowed with a hazy white light and felt incredibly heavy; it was a palm strike capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Bang!
The massive tortoise-shell shield, as large as a mountain peak, crashed into this palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
But these terrifying hands, there were six of them, and the tortoise-shell shield was sent flying backward by the force of the six hands that were piled up. God King Buxiu also looked coldly at Lei Zhan.

"God King!"

"king!"

"Paint!"

The powerful figure from the Wujian Sect, who had been watching this intently, transmitted his voice.

"I'm fine! Be careful of powerful figures on Nuwa's side!"

God King Bu Xiu glanced down and saw that all the gods and immortals of his Wujian Sect had been completely slaughtered at this moment.

Gods and immortals such as Red Snow God and Silver Moon God stood far away on the endless earth, watching the battle from afar.

"Mental strength?" God King Bu Xiu looked at Lei Zhan from afar, his eyes filled with apprehension. "You are only at the level of a True Immortal God, yet you can unleash such terrifying power besides the Golden Flame of the Sun and the Profound Water of the Moon! However, how long can you last in a battle beyond your level? Even a casual strike from me will require you to go all out."

"Stop. My Wujian Sect needs to integrate into the Three Realms. As long as you promise not to interfere in the battles for supremacy in the Great World in the future, my Wujian Sect is willing to forgive and forget what happened today!"

Although he was extremely unwilling, he didn't want to admit it. Lei Zhan possessed the two great supernatural powers of the Star-Picking Hand and the Buddha Kingdom in His Palm, as well as the top-tier escape technique, the Golden Rainbow of the Sun.

If he were to be careless, he could really die here! Just now, the Six Star-Picking Hands, combined with the burst of mental power, almost made him unable to withstand it!

You must know that his tortoise shell shield was also a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, a top-tier defensive innate treasure! It almost couldn't withstand it!

He dared not think about what other tricks Lei Zhan might have up his sleeve if they continued to fight... So, even though he was unwilling, he was willing to back down.

"Let bygones be bygones? This is... admitting defeat?" A smile suddenly appeared in Lei Zhan's eyes. "But what I want... isn't for you to admit defeat!"

"Hmm? What do you want?" God King Bu Xiu asked, though his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

“Me?” Lei Zhan paused for a moment. “What I’ve always wanted… is your head!”

Lei Zhan's heart remained completely calm. The true form he carried with him quietly activated the method of the True God Scroll of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.

Boom~~~

Endless power of heaven and earth suddenly surged forth, even forming a huge vortex, and below the vortex was the golden-robed figure.

To be precise, it is the original form that Lei Zhan carries with him!
Above this vortex, two supreme stars descended, radiating boundless stellar power!
……

The Great World of Huaguoshan.

The Monkey King sat on a rock, paying no attention to the two ants fighting in front of him. Instead, unusually, he looked up and gazed into the void. His eyes faintly shimmered with a dazzling golden light.

"My junior brother, at the Heavenly God level, can force the God King of the Boundless Sect to this extent? That's a Dao Ancestor with top-tier strength, and he's forced to bow down?" The Monkey King had a smile on his face, but suddenly...

"Hmm? What I've always wanted is your head?" The monkey muttered to himself.

With a thought, a spatial rift appeared before them.

"My junior brother is really ambitious! Does he also want to emulate the ancient god Hou Yi, who dared to kill top-tier true gods and Dao ancestors just because he's a god?"

Just as the Monkey King was about to step into the spatial rift, he stopped abruptly.

"Is this... a breakthrough?"

……

In the celestial realm, in the west, Amitabha's face held a compassionate expression, yet his gaze was fixed on the enormous water mirror above the Vulture Peak Palace!

"Amitabha! World Honored One, you have taken in a fine disciple! You have actually managed to force this cloth-wearing fellow of the Wujian Sect to bow his head." Amitabha clasped his hands together, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

Such a monstrous deity was accepted into the Buddha's fold, which brought glory to the Buddhist community.

“Excellent!” Ksitigarbha Buddha also spoke up: “This little fellow Lei Zhan is already comparable to a top-tier Dao Ancestor when he is a Celestial God. Once he breaks through to the level of a True God Dao Ancestor, it won’t be long before our Buddhist sect has a great power comparable to a leader.”

"Comparable to a leader..."

The bodhisattvas and arhats sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform all looked at the water mirror, deeply moved.

"Comparable to a leader..." Buddha Tathagata smiled, "A leader... is not so easy to achieve. But Lei Zhan certainly has a chance."

Although he didn't know how much strength Lei Zhan had held back during his fight with Bu Xiu, Lei Zhan at least possessed the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor. Given Lei Zhan's short cultivation period and exceptional talent, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the leadership level in the future.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

All the powerful figures in the main hall were stunned!
"You want the head of a top-tier Dao Ancestor powerhouse?"

"This...this is a direct breakthrough?"

"Such surging power of heaven and earth... Amitabha! Our Buddhist sect is about to gain another great master!"

……

In the endless chaos, on that desolate star.

Suirenshi gazed leisurely at the developments in the Tianchen Great World.

"Hmm? This little fellow has finally revealed his true intentions!" Suirenshi exclaimed, "As expected of my human bloodline! He has guts! What he's always wanted is the life of this cloth-wearing fellow!"

"You want to kill Bu Xiu?" Tathagata looked at Bodhi beside him. "Lei Zhan should have never had any contact with the Avici Gate, so how did he form a karmic bond with them? And you want to kill this Bu Xiu... Bodhi, do you know the truth?"

"You are probably familiar with his supernatural ability to control water. During the ancient war of destruction, the True God of the Winding Water of the Wujian Sect..." Patriarch Bodhi mentioned it briefly, and seeing that his two old friends looked knowing, he stopped talking about it.

"So it was him!" Suirenshi nodded and smiled, "This little fellow received benefits from the Wujian Sect, and then turned around and wanted to kill the True God Dao Ancestor of the Wujian Sect. His fate is truly strange."

"Cause and effect...cause and effect, destiny, mysterious beyond mystery." Buddha Tathagata said, his eyes shining, as if he had attained enlightenment.

As for whether Lei Zhan would join the Wujian Sect because of a supernatural power... none of them had considered that.

Or rather, a myriad of thoughts surged forth at once, but were quickly extinguished.

The roots of the army lie with them. Having grown up, they bear the indelible mark of Nuwa's faction; how could a mere supernatural power easily change their stance?
……

One of the billions of tiny worlds.

An old man with a white beard raised his head, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"With just one wrong thought, that little guy from back then went into seclusion for a thousand years, never venturing out, and has actually grown to such an extent."

"The true god... is really fast! If it weren't for some changes that happened to Fuxi..." The white-bearded old man shook his head and sighed, whispering, "It's all just a twist of fate, a cruel joke."

This white-bearded old man was originally going to secretly contact Lei Zhan and begin slowly enslaving his soul. But Fuxi, who had remained in chaos, almost directly comprehended the Dao of Life…

Once Fuxi comprehends the Dao of Life, he will immediately awaken his past life memories. With the accumulation of memories from several lifetimes and the strength of his Dao heart, he will never have another chance to completely enslave Fuxi. This frightened him so much that he rushed to Fuxi and used various means to nip this threat in the bud.

If it weren't for this delay, Lei Zhan would have quietly become one of his many children long ago!

"It seems I can only wait for the future. My chance will come when these natives look away."

He wasn't in a hurry; he had already spent countless years building up his business. There was no need to wait any longer.

The Heart of the World, the Secret Technique of Time and Space—either of them, they are worth spending a great deal of his time waiting for.

……

Tianchen Grand World.

Lei Zhan uttered these words softly, and immediately the power of heaven and earth surged around him.

All of this was witnessed by numerous powerful beings in the Three Realms who had their eyes on this place.

Their consciousnesses, permeating the Tianchen Great World, collided and exchanged ideas. At the same time, they silently prepared for what was to come.

If the Wujian Sect has truly lost a nominal leader, even if the God-King Buxiu struck first, he will most likely not let it go easily!
"Hmm? Is he about to break through?" God King Bu Xiu's expression was uncertain. In the life-and-death battle, he was most wary of breaking through in the midst of battle.

If Lei Zhan breaks through, he's the one most likely to die!
But he still wants to live a good life!

"Die!"

With a thought, the ninety-nine star beads around him transformed into star beasts and tried their best to pounce on him.

"Boom~~~"

Lei Zhan stood high in the sky, his six arms trembled, and he released all the power he had previously been holding back.

Endless stellar power, along with the power of heaven and earth, surged towards Lei Zhan, while the suppressed aura originating from a true god gradually released, causing the aura around him to grow stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, the original body remaining in the portable immortal abode is undergoing a continuous transformation, with each portion of divine power being converted into true divine power.

The aura of the second primordial spirit also changed completely according to the changes of the main body, and Lei Zhan was very careful in doing so.

It may sound slow, but it all happens in the blink of an eye.

The immense divine power originating from the true god surged into his six arms. From that moment on, Lei Zhan's strength was no longer held back in the slightest.

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel descended directly under the power of a first-class True Immortal!

The Five-Turn Star-Picking Hand also radiated an incomparably dazzling light, and beneath this light, there was a hazy white glow.

That was the manifestation of Lei Zhan attaching his heart and soul to Zhai Xing's hand!

"Damn! This palm strike settles the karma of Qu Shui's transmission of supernatural powers!"

Lei Zhan glanced at the endless void, his voice booming like thunder, his six arms like dragons, striking out like long spears.

However, the most terrifying killing move is still the combination of the supernatural Star-Picking Hand and the six giant hands of the Palm Buddha Kingdom.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Six palms swept across the sky, causing the void to shatter continuously. Even spacetime was compressed and began to crack, and strangely... the entire spacetime seemed to transform into layers.

Layer upon layer of time and space, pressing down relentlessly.

Wow wow wow～～～～

The enormous hand was descending continuously, pressing down layer upon layer of spacetime, making the spacetime below increasingly stable.

The colossal star beast, formed from ninety-nine star beads, began to gradually disintegrate under this terrifying hand.
