The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 216 Trump Card? Fifth Level of Mental Power?
"Lei Zhan, why aren't you coming out to die?"

The voice of the God-King Bu Xiu rolled like thunder, echoing over the entire Thousand Islands Great World.

"Boom~~~"

It was like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Countless immortals and demons from the Star-Picking Palace lineage looked up at this voice, their gazes all focusing on the God-King Bu Xiu, who stood high above an island.

"Looking for... Lei Zhan? Damn it!"

"Isn't that the name of the Lord of my Star-Picking Mansion? How dare you insult the Lord of my Star-Picking Mansion like that!"

"When did this person... arrive? How come I didn't even notice?"

"Damn it, I can't see through this guy's strength!"

Countless voices rang out from all directions.

"Hmm?" God King Buxiu looked down from high above, his misty eyes sweeping over the islands one by one, a hint of mockery on his face: "This Lei Zhan... has some ungrateful little things under his command."

If it were in the past, he probably wouldn't have had this much confidence.

But since that battle more than five hundred years ago, in which his second primordial spirit died, his 'heart' has become even stronger. With his strength greatly increased, he naturally became more and more confident.

After all, the entire Three Realms have gradually stabilized. His relationship with Lei Zhan, setting aside their opposing factions, has become a personal feud. And when he first became a disciple of the Lord of Inner Demons, the Lord of Inner Demons certainly didn't let him suffer any losses or force him to swallow his anger!
Wow~~~
Two figures suddenly appeared high in the sky.

A young man in a black robe and a disheveled man carrying a black axe were Lei Zhan and the Black Axe God who emerged from the void.

"Make me come out to die?" Lei Zhan stood coldly in the sky, watching the God-King Bu Xiu, shrouded in black robes, appear there, but he was not surprised: "Bu Xiu. It's fine if your second primordial spirit dies, but you've come here to die as well... Who gave you this confidence?"

When the God King Bu Xiu of the Wujian Sect died at his hands, Lei Zhan felt something was amiss.

The many true gods and Dao ancestors of the Wujian Sect were behaving far too calmly.

This Bu Xiu was, after all, a God-King of the Wujian Sect. Even if he was only a nominal leader, after his death, the powerful figures of the Wujian Sect seemed to have fallen silent. They didn't even have the slightest thought of revenge. This is definitely not normal.

Moreover, both of Lei Zhan's masters, Bodhi Patriarch and Buddha Tathagata, knew that this God-King Bu Xiu actually possessed a second primordial spirit. Furthermore, both his original body and second primordial spirit had appeared during the ancient war of destruction. However, the Lord of Inner Demons and the Lord of All Things of the Chaos Alien Race were too dazzling, making God-King Bu Xiu seem somewhat inconspicuous among the many true gods and Dao Ancestors.

"Coming here to die again?" God-King Buxiu laughed immediately. His misty eyes seemed to possess a bewitching power. "You?"

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, feeling a sense of strangeness. This time, the God-King Bu Xiu's behavior was far too abnormal. Even if it was his true form that came this time, and his strength might be somewhat greater, Lei Zhan had still improved tremendously over the past five hundred years.

“Back then, even Bu Xiu’s second primordial spirit died at my hands. Unless his main body’s strength has undergone a qualitative improvement, coming to cause me trouble is just suicide.” Lei Zhan muttered to himself, “But this God King doesn’t seem like the kind of fool who doesn’t know any better! So… his strength has undergone a qualitative improvement? Could it be that he has broken through to the Ancestral God level? But although his aura is concealed by a secret technique, it is completely different from the feeling I get from the Ancestral God Qi Huo and Fu Xi! He should still only be at the True God level! Or perhaps…”

A thought flashed through Lei Zhan's mind: above the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor is the level comparable to a leader, which is roughly comparable to an ordinary Ancestral God...

Lei Zhan gazed into the misty eyes of the God King Bu Xiu and said calmly, "Since you wish to die, then I will grant your wish!"

Even knowing that the God King Cloth might have greatly increased his strength, or that he might be hiding some trump card, Lei Zhan was not intimidated at all.

Strength has reached the level of a leader...

Long before Lei Zhan entered the inner world and conquered the Demon-Subduing Palace, his strength was comparable to that of a leader. Now, having cultivated the protective divine power "Golden Statue" and fully comprehended the first volume of "Time and Space Annihilation," his strength has advanced even further.

Now they've acquired the Chaos Treasure, the Nine Abyss Frost Shadow Thorn...

"Hmm? Arrogant!" God King Buxiu's aura suddenly surged, and six arms appeared, each hand gripping a black scimitar. "Die!"

"Close combat? Let's see what you've got up your sleeve!" Lei Zhan's gaze sharpened, and he too revealed himself to have three heads and six arms, each pair of hands gripping a silver spear. However, one of the silver spears, flowing with fine golden light and shimmering like a cold star, exuded even greater power.

Having fought the God-King Buxiu, and now facing his true form, Lei Zhan naturally wouldn't be careless. He even brought out his newly acquired Chaos Treasure, the Nine Abyss Cold Shadow Thorn.

"Hmm? Nine Abyss Frost Shadow Thorn!" God King Bu Xiu's eyes flashed. Even a Chaos Treasure can't save you! Die!

Wow~~~
With a single stride, God King Bu Xiu grasped a black scimitar in each of his six hands, transforming into a streak of light. Instantly, countless streams of water surged forth, their power so immense that it made Lei Zhan's heart tremble.

The fifth level of water power? It seems there are other powers within it!
"Boom!" Lei Zhan casually swung his three spears, the spears sweeping in a circle, instantly compressing time and space layer by layer, directly slashing at the six black curved blades that God King Bu Xiu had brought down. Spears are inherently heavy weapons; although not as heavy as clubs or hammers, they are more agile and versatile, and equally adept at head-on clashes! Lei Zhan possesses the supernatural power of the Star-Picking Hand, and now also has a Chaos Treasure; it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary True God to suppress Lei Zhan in terms of power!
Rumble~~~~~

The silver spear clashed with the scimitar, and in an instant, a terrifying force crushed down, directly smashing Bu Xian backward!

"Huh? How is this possible?" Bu Xiu stopped retreating after a moment, his gaze falling on the silver spear in Lei Zhan's hand, which clearly possessed a stronger aura than the other two. He roared, "Again!"

call out!
Six black curved blades flashed, slashing wildly like black crescent moons, and roared as they enveloped Lei Zhan.

"That blade light..." Lei Zhan was startled, instinctively sensing the threat emanating from the black blade light. He flicked his silver spear, instantly creating a maze of spear shadows. The spear moved like lightning, thrusting out and distorting space and time, instantly filling the entire sky.

"Die!" God King Bu Xiu roared madly.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Strikes of black blade light drew arcs, like waves of ferocious beasts ready to devour their prey. Countless blades slashed down wildly, their afterimages seemingly solidified, clashing frantically with the silver spears.

This is a clash of power against power! It is also a clash of swords and spears!
The moment they made contact, Lei Zhan's expression changed drastically! The terrifying explosive power emanating from the black scimitar surpassed, for the first time, the enhancement he received from the combined power of the Star-Picking Hand and his mental strength. Furthermore, that explosive power was all too familiar to Lei Zhan!

"This is..." Lei Zhan's heart skipped a beat, "Mental power! This feels like the fifth level of mental power!"

"Die!" A ferocious sneer appeared on Bu Xiu's face. At this moment, he no longer concealed himself. His six arms controlled six black scimitars. Each scimitar seemed to have flowing water on it, and each scimitar shone with a dazzling hazy white light!

The interplay of black and white is the white light formed by the infusion of a vast amount of mental energy!

"As expected! So this is your trump card?" Lei Zhan frowned.

Although he is most skilled in time and space, the power of time origin and the power of space origin are currently only at the fourth level. That is, the power of time and space formed by their perfect combination can be comparable to a single fifth-level origin power.

It is almost at the level of a top-tier True God or Dao Ancestor.

The real reason why Lei Zhan's strength can be comparable to the level of the Ancestral God is usually that he uses the Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel Secret Technique, as well as various supernatural powers such as mental power, the Star-Picking Hand, and the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, to burst out in an instant, thus barely reaching the level of the Ancestral God.

What truly gave Lei Zhan the strength of an Ancestral God was the "Shattered Star Style," which he innovated upon his master Bodhi Patriarch's "Time and Space" secret technique, forging his own path, and the recently mastered Time and Space Annihilation...

"However, Bu Xiu's current strength is not weak. With the power of water and mental strength at the fifth level... this brief burst of power is probably difficult even for an ordinary ancestral god to withstand," Lei Zhan thought to himself.

"Hahaha! Die! Die!" Bu Xiu looked at Lei Zhan's furrowed brows and a gleeful smile appeared on his face.

"Lei Zhan! I have to thank you for my breakthrough to the fifth level of mental power! Although I lost a second primordial spirit back then, there is great terror between life and death! After the death of the second primordial spirit, I understood the meaning of 'returning to the truth'! My mental power transformed, and I reached the fifth level as naturally as water flowing into a channel..."

"Hmph!" Lei Zhan snorted coldly.

He knew that the cloth-wearing man brought these things up to disrupt his Dao mind during the battle. In a life-or-death struggle, one cannot afford to be distracted. Even if there is still a chance of victory, a momentary lapse in concentration is enough for someone at their level to make ten thousand attacks! They might even be left with no choice but to await their fate!

"Die! Die! It's your true form that's fighting me now! No wonder you didn't unleash the Golden Flame of the Sun and the Profound Water of the Moon!" Cloth-lacquered man wielded his six arms, wildly swinging his black scimitars, a mocking expression on his face. "Once I kill your true form, it will be your second primordial spirit's turn next!"

"I... will also let you taste the feeling of being powerless to resist!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The blade flashed like a waterfall, sweeping and roaring as it slashed wildly towards Lei Zhan.

Under this terrifying force, Lei Zhan swung his silver spear to defend himself, the force so great that all six of his hands went numb.

"Fifth-level mental strength, that's really impressive. I never expected that Bu Xiu, who seems like a nobody and whose strength is only average among the top True Gods and Dao Ancestors, would actually be so lucky as to break through to the fifth level of mental strength..." Lei Zhan muttered to himself, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Although this cloth lacquerer is skilled in the art of water, he is far inferior to the Ice Demon Lord of the Demon Subduing Palace.

As a disciple of the Lord of Inner Demons, he is skilled at manipulating people's hearts. Now that his mental strength has reached the fifth level, he can still catch his eye.

Against such an opponent, Lei Zhan has not yet used his self-created spacetime ultimate technique, the Shattering Star Style, nor his latest mastery of the "Spacetime Annihilation" technique!
Even the protective divine power comparable to the ultimate innate spiritual treasure has not yet been forced out.

With such an opponent, we'll definitely have to have some fun!
