The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 218 The Secret of Nuwa's Camp

Sniff～～～
Above the Thousand Islands World, thousands of miles above, endless clouds and mist swirl.

But this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable space suddenly became distorted in time and space, instantly forming a terrifying black hole.

In an instant, Bu Xiu was completely swept into the black hole. The opposing forces of time and space created a strangling and rotating force that easily tore his divine body to shreds.

"Do not."

"how so."

"How could he be so strong?"

The shattered divine body reformed, but Buxiu's eyes were filled with terror and despair.

Even with his desperate efforts, he couldn't escape this terrifying black hole and was trapped inside, enveloped by its terrifying strangling force.

In just a moment, even with the immense power of the True God of Cloth, he was completely annihilated by the spacetime force within the black hole.

“Annihilation…” Lei Zhan gazed at the black hole that seemed capable of devouring and annihilating everything, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"Using this secret technique seems to... make me perceive the primal power of space more clearly."

……

The Realm of Demons.

Inside a vast hall, a huge water mirror floats in the center of the hall.

The image displayed above showed a swirling cloud of mist, and within that mist, two figures in black engaged in combat.

A man dressed in a red robe, with long, flowing blue hair, a large beard, and eyes that faintly shone with blue light, sat casually on the huge throne above the hall.

Wow wow wow~~~~
One after another, figures appeared in this space. All of these figures exuded a terrifying aura.

"They've all arrived?" Feng Mo looked down at the powerful figures appearing one by one, a strange look in his eyes.

Wow~~~
suddenly.

A man dressed in purple, carrying a dark purple wooden ruler on his back, also appeared. He looked at the Wind Demon and said:

"Wind Demon".

"Hmm?" Feng Mo looked over casually. "Huan Mu, what's wrong?"

"Are we really not going to make a move?" Master Huanmu asked, his gaze fixed on the figure shrouded in black robes amidst the clouds.

If it were any other true god or Dao ancestor, he wouldn't bother with them. But Bu Xiu is, after all, the only disciple left behind by the Lord of Heart Demons, and the nominal king of their Boundless Sect. Furthermore, he now possesses strength comparable to a leader…

The powerful beings below, whether in their avatars or in their true forms, have also come for this very reason.

"Make a move?" Fengmo glanced down and shook his head slightly. "How can we make a move? As soon as Buxiu broke through, he went to cause trouble for Lei Zhan, but he didn't expect to kick a hornet's nest. If we make a move, and then Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, and Tathagata make their moves, it will be a fight to the death again..."

"Besides...look there!"

As soon as Feng Mo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and with a 'whoosh,' a water mirror reappeared high in the sky above the main hall.

“This…this is…” Huanmu Master looked at the scene with surprise in his eyes.

"This... a clone technique?"

"This Lei Zhan actually mastered the secret technique of creating clones?"

"My God! Three clones! And that's just the ones on the surface!"

One by one, the powerful beings at the level of True Gods and Dao Ancestors focused their gazes on the scene displayed in the water mirror. They saw three golden-robed figures emanating powerful auras in the vast void. These three figures all looked exactly the same!
"This Lei Zhan's strength is already comparable to that of a leader. His main body and second primordial spirit may even have cultivated the technique of creating clones..."

A look of seriousness flashed in Huanmu's eyes. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "He is demonstrating!"

The technique of creating clones has been successfully cultivated by powerful beings throughout the Three Realms. For example, the True God of Youdu in Nuwa's camp successfully cultivated the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons," and each of his twelve clones possessed strength comparable to the original.

"Hmm." Feng Mo sat up straight, a serious look appearing in his eyes. "There are currently two types of clone techniques in the Three Realms: the 'Thousand Bodies Sacred Scripture' and the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons.' To cultivate the 'Thousand Bodies Sacred Scripture,' one needs a World Heart just to get started, which is too high a threshold. The most likely outcome for this breakthrough is that both the main body and the second primordial spirit will successfully cultivate the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons.' The worst-case scenario is that just one breakthrough will allow one to rival twenty-four powerful beings at the leader level..."

"This..." The voice of the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor was cold.

“This Lei Zhan possesses leadership-level strength. If we combine his main body and second primordial spirit, along with the clones cultivated through the clone technique, then Nuwa’s camp will have so many powerful beings. If a war were to break out, we would undoubtedly be defeated.”

As soon as the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall immediately became extremely solemn.

suddenly.

"Ok?"

"This……"

"This... Heavens!"

One by one, the powerful figures changed their expressions, and their gazes fell on the huge water mirror in the sky.

"Buzu, it's over!"

"This kind of secret technique seems capable of annihilating everything... This fortress actually possesses such abilities!"

Fengmo gazed at the scene high in the sky, a sigh etched on his face: "These disciples of Bodhi, their manipulation of space and time, pose a great threat to me. Buxiu, hopeless..."

"They're courting death," said Huanmu Master.

Under such a terrifying secret technique, Cloth is doomed. To wage a war destined for defeat for the sake of a dead man…

Huanmu shook his head and with a whoosh, disappeared directly from the hall.

"I'm leaving," said the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor, and then disappeared.

……

Thousand Islands World. All is silent.

Lei Zhan stood high in the sky and quietly closed his eyes.

“Buzz~~~~~”

Suddenly, a power emanated from the very essence of space deep within the endless chaos.

A mysterious aura surrounded Lei Zhan; it was a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine—the aura of 'space'.

Gradually, silvery-white spatial power began to appear around Lei Zhan, as if Lei Zhan had merged with the origin of space.

It's as if the stacking is part of the space itself.

At the same time, the original being, seated cross-legged within the world's prison, also sat cross-legged, the black bead within its golden core space radiating endless light. It was as if more fuel had been added to a blazing bonfire.

The vast amount of spatial insights that I gleaned in my mind kept converging, like mist constantly gathering.

at last.

boom! ! !
These insights underwent a qualitative change in an instant, all coalescing into a 'seed'. A seed that subtly lingered around the aura of space.

This spatial seed... is a condensation of Lei Zhan's understanding of the origin of space, something that can be felt in his heart.

It is not something that can be seen with the naked eye, but rather something that can be seen through inner perception.

"Hoo." Lei Zhan exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.

Everything around returned to calm, and the spatial power that had been surrounding them dissipated completely.

"The power of space has finally reached the fifth level!" Lei Zhan glanced around and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff, huff.

In that instant, one figure after another materialized, some tall and imposing, some serene and breezy, some exuding murderous intent, and some chilling to the bone. The incarnations of true gods and Dao ancestors were all formed.

With the appearance of this batch of True Gods and Dao Ancestors, more and more True Gods and Dao Ancestors descended and manifested one after another. It was clear that everyone wanted to become familiar with the emergence of a powerful leader in the Three Realms.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan!"

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your further advancement in strength!"

"Now that Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan has made further progress in strength, our Three Realms have gained another powerful figure with the level of a leader!"

"Bodhi and Tathagata have taken in a fine disciple! In less than ten thousand years, he has successively broken through to the level of a celestial god and then a true god, and now his strength has reached the level of a leader!"

One sound after another echoed in the air.

Having broken through to the fifth level of the power of spatial origin, he was in a very good mood and dealt with all the powerful beings in the Three Realms one by one.

suddenly.

“Lei Zhan.” A familiar voice echoed in Lei Zhan’s heart.

"Huh?" Lei Zhan was taken aback. "Master?"

"Lei Zhan, hurry back to Fangcun Mountain," Bodhi transmitted his voice.

Lei Zhan nodded slightly, then smiled at the powerful figures and said, "Everyone, my master is looking for me. Please excuse me!"

“Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan, please go ahead!” a Daoist True God said with a smile.

"Bodhi has come to see you, fellow Daoist? You may go then. You must come to my Xuanwu Great World for a drink sometime in the future!" said the old Daoist in a robe surrounded by Yin-Yang Tai Chi symbols.

"Fellow Daoist, please go quickly!"

Everyone wore smiles and didn't stop him. Now that Lei Zhan was able to kill Bu Xiu, who possessed the strength of a leader, although he relied on secret techniques, his strength was indeed comparable to that of a leader.

With such strength, he stands among the top figures in the entire Three Realms, so naturally no one would dare to cause him trouble.

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded slightly, and with a thought, he disappeared into the sky.

……

Fangcun Mountain.

Wow~~~
Lei Zhan suddenly appeared high in the sky, looking down, and immediately saw a thin old man in a Taoist robe standing in front of the Taoist temple on the mountain.

“Master.” Lei Zhan looked over, then took a step and appeared in front of Bodhi.

"Here you are." Bodhi had been waiting for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Lei Zhan.

He looked at his youngest disciple and was filled with emotion: "Lei Zhan, your strength has now completely surpassed mine! The time-space secret technique you used to kill Bu Xiu was so mysterious that even I found it incredibly profound... It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to visit the Earth's core world as well."

The Bodhi Patriarch vaguely knew the origin of that secret technique.

After all, due to their vows, those who entered the Earth's core world could not convey detailed information about the Demon-Subduing Palace to them. Fuxi had no incarnation, but Bodhi Patriarch had been observing the changes in Lei Zhan and Tathagata.

Lei Zhan smiled slightly and said, "There are indeed great benefits in that inner world. If Master goes there, his strength will probably increase significantly! It wouldn't be uncommon for him to break through to the level of Pangu and Nuwa in the future."

"Hmm..." Patriarch Bodhi pondered for a moment, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. Shaking his head, he looked at Lei and said, "I have summoned you here today because of an important matter."

"Huh? Something important?" Lei Zhan was taken aback.

“Yes. Your strength has now reached the pinnacle of the Three Realms, and you are even one of the top few! You didn’t know many secrets of our Nuwa camp before, and now it’s time to tell you them all.” Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile, “Perhaps… your strength can be improved even more because of this.”

"The secret of Nuwa's camp?" Lei Zhan pondered.
