The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 197 The Fourth Level of the Power of Spacetime
"Controlling the Chaos Treasure?"

The Ancestral God of Abandoning Fire's eyes lit up, and the two crimson fleshy whiskers on his head swayed gently.

"Hmm? Could it be?" The Eastern Bright Ancestral God, clad in golden armor, seemed to have also thought of something. "Those who can control Chaos Treasures are generally at the level of Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. True Gods and True Immortals rarely possess Chaos Treasures. Moreover, those with weak divine bodies are completely unable to withstand the Nine Cold Profound Winds."

"Ancestor God or Ancestor Immortal? If one of them were to come, even one of average strength, it would be perfectly fine. At the very least, it would increase our chances of victory when dealing with the Ice Demon Valley's invasion," the withered old man said.

“Nine Flames Ancestor Immortal, since that being was in your area of ​​responsibility, and the one that appeared in the Endless Ice Cave of Bing 27 was likely blown down by the Nine Cold Mystic Winds, then you shall handle the negotiations!” The Eastern Bright Ancestor God looked over.

He added, "Remember to bring your natal oath stone! Of course, if you're just a weak third-tier ancestral immortal, bring it along too; it's good to be cannon fodder."

Although third-class Ancestral Immortals can rival them in their understanding of the Dao, their strength is only equivalent to that of True Gods and True Immortals. In the midst of war and slaughter, they are nothing more than cannon fodder.

When they gathered here to discuss how to resist the Ice Demon Lord, they all tacitly agreed not to include these weak third-level Ancestral Immortals.

“Yes, let’s test his strength first.” Ancestral God Qi Huo nodded and said, “In the records from countless years ago, there were also alien beings who broke into our land. Almost all of them who survived the Ninefold Cold Wind possessed the strength of Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. If he joins us, our chances of winning will indeed increase by a little.”

After looking at the ancestral gods and immortals in the main hall, and seeing that none of them had any objections, Jiu Yan Ancestral Immortal could only nod helplessly, "Alright."

"Wait!" Ancestral God Abandoned Fire glanced at Nine Flames Ancestral Immortal, who was about to leave, and said, "Most of these outsiders who have unexpectedly intruded are extremely wary. We need to let them know the consequences. Never mind. I'll go with you this time!"

"Hmm?" Nine Flames Ancestral Immortal was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Alright."

……

This is a deep blue ice cave that leads straight to the ground. The ice cave is so deep that even the most powerful ancestral god cannot see the end of the ice cave at a glance.

boom!
A massive black ship floated in the vast space beneath the dark blue ice cave.

But when the large ship plunged into the ice cave, a terrifying force that isolated everything could be felt surging out.

In that instant, that terrifying force blasted the entire black ship backward, carving a huge trench in the ground of the underground world below, and even cracks appeared in the distance.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Fuxi frowned, his face grim. "The wind has clearly stopped, but that terrifying, invisible force..."

“It seems that returning the way we came is not an option.” Buddha’s brows were furrowed, and his gaze was extremely solemn. “Well, if all else fails, we will have no choice but to risk going to those cities to find a way out.”

"No, I have to try again!" Fuxi gritted his teeth and steered the black ship like a giant ram, resolutely crashing it into the ice cave above that glowed with a ghostly blue light.

Lei Zhan watched all of this, but his gaze fell on the dark blue cave that connected to the dome of the underground world, and his eyes narrowed.

"This power... seems to be the application of spatial power?"

"No, no! It seems there's more to it than just spatial power!"

"Mysterious, profound! It's too obscure for me! The use of primordial power here... the use of space..." Lei Zhan looked carefully, but it was like a mortal looking at the sky, unable to see clearly or understand anything at all.

boom!
Fuxi once again maneuvered the Dragon River Escape Boat to crash into it, but it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree; he was once again violently thrown back by that terrifying invisible force.

The large black ship tumbled and rolled thousands of feet across this space.

After a long while, Fuxi also stopped.

"I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out!" Lei Zhan shook his head and withdrew his gaze. He understood in his heart, "It seems that there really is no way to go back the way we came."

Fuxi has now comprehended two opposing Heavenly Daos: Life and Destruction, Yin and Yang. It can be said that his strength has leaped to become one of the most powerful in the Three Realms. Even when he manipulates the Chaos Treasure, he cannot resist that terrifying resistance.

If it were Lei Zhan himself, there would be no way to solve it either.

Even if it uses its three-legged golden crow form and unleashes its divine power, the Golden Sun Rainbow, making its wings smoke, it would probably all be in vain.

Suddenly, Lei Zhan's body trembled.

“Buzz~~~~~”

Endless insights came from afar and entered Lei Zhan's mind, naturally leading him to complete understanding.

Gradually, an invisible force began to gather around Lei Zhan. Then, a hazy golden light enveloped Lei Zhan and surrounded him.

"It feels like it's come to life," Lei Zhan muttered, but the sense of 'closeness' conveyed by the hazy golden light filled him with joy.

Lei Zhan could sense that this hazy golden light was like life itself, giving rise to an extremely nascent consciousness. Although this consciousness was still incredibly weak, it already filled Lei Zhan with immense joy.

When Lei Zhan reached the fourth level in both the power of time and the power of space, he experienced both once, but that was a single source of power. This golden light, however, is the power of time and space that he mainly cultivates!

"The power of spacetime has become even stronger!"

A smile appeared on Lei Zhan's face as he made a sword-like gesture with his fingers and lightly drew a line in the air.

Instantly, the hazy golden light shifted in a flash, followed by a dazzling golden gleam. The space-time around the finger seemed to layer upon layer. "Break!" Lei Zhan uttered softly.

Boom~~~

The sword pointed at the area within a small space, and in an instant, the layers of space and time were completely shattered, and a terrifying power spread out.

"This..." Fuxi, who was originally somewhat annoyed, and Tathagata, who had a worried look on his face, both looked over and instantly revealed their joy.

"The power of time and space!"

"The power of spacetime?"

"Lei Zhan, when did you comprehend the fourth level of spatial power? It has directly and perfectly fused to form the fourth level of spacetime power!"

The faint trace of sorrow on the Buddha's face was completely dispelled, and he was overjoyed.

"The fourth level of spacetime power... Bodhi's ultimate skill has finally found a true successor."

Lei Zhan was a disciple shared by him and Bodhi. He was still extremely happy that his disciple's strength had improved, even though he was following his old friend's path of time and space.

"The fourth level of spacetime power..." Fuxi smiled, "In our Three Realms, another great master skilled in the art of spacetime has been born! Congratulations, Lei Zhan!"

"It was just a coincidence that I gained something while I was in the Three Realms," Lei Zhan said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Although Lei Zhan was modest, only he knew how hard-won that "coincidence" was.

There are a total of thirty-six clones that are identical to the original body and the second primordial spirit. Almost every clone is constantly comprehending and every clone is accelerating time at five times the flow rate of time.

Even those second primordial spirit avatars that swept through the world's prisons were constantly fighting against true gods and immortals, and then, after sweeping through, they quietly comprehended what they had learned!
Lei Zhan's own comprehension had become incredibly extraordinary due to the subtle influence of the black bead over time.

Now, I have used all six opportunities for enlightenment that I have accumulated over the past thirty years.

This made the enlightenment that had bound countless cultivators for endless years become much simpler in front of Lei Zhan.

It should be known that there are countless true gods and ancestral masters in the Three Realms who have been stuck at the third level of the power of origin and have been unable to comprehend the fourth level!

"Now that my spacetime power has broken through to the fourth level, I can maintain my twenty-fold time acceleration," Lei Zhan thought to himself.

suddenly.

"Hmm? Someone's coming!" Fuxi suddenly became solemn.

"Someone's coming! It seems..." Buddha also made a gesture of plucking a flower with his fingers, secretly becoming vigilant.

"Someone's here?" Lei Zhan sensed the change in space almost at the same time as Tathagata.

With a thought, a large number of deep blue eight-pointed stars appeared in the sky, a total of ninety-nine, each of which seemed to contain an endless starry ocean.

Wow~~~
Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in mid-air. One was a black-robed man with two crimson beards on his forehead, and the other was a weathered old man wearing a golden robe.

“It’s the Ancestral God, and another… First-Class Ancestral Immortal!” Fuxi stared at the two figures that had suddenly appeared. Around them, sticks radiating terrifying power appeared, each emanating an aura of the highest-grade innate level, seemingly capable of infinite transformations.

"Two powerful leaders!" Tathagata preferred to address the great beings with the strength of ancestral gods in this way, and his palms also faintly emanated mysterious fluctuations.

"Oh? Quite a few outsiders have come this time!" The Ancestral God of Abandoned Fire, with his fleshy beard, immediately laughed.

"An Ancestral God, a Third-Rank Ancestral Immortal, a True God... Just in time, a key player has arrived!"

"Shall we give it a try?" said the Nine Flames Ancestral Immortal, dressed in a golden robe. "Time is running out! Let's try to save as much as we can."

"Good!" The Ancestral God of Abandoning Fire smiled, and the two fleshy whiskers on his forehead trembled, making him look rather comical.

"Tathagata, Lei Zhan," Fuxi secretly transmitted, "Leave that ancestral god with the fleshy beard to me, you two go and deal with that first-class ancestral immortal, and finish him off quickly!"

“Alright!” Buddha nodded in agreement.

"Alright. We'll help you after we take down that Ancestral Immortal!" Lei Zhan also transmitted his voice with a smile. Although they didn't know each other's strength, it didn't hinder their determination to win.

After all, if they really lose, they won't have a good ending.

"Alright!" Fuxi laughed and said, "Let's begin!"
