The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 220 'Annihilation'

"A million years? The weak have no right to negotiate! At the very least, you have to defeat me first!"

Lei Zhan gazed at the True God of Release from Hell from afar, a faint smile on his face.

"To defeat you?" Upon hearing this, the True God of Release, holding short sticks in both hands, immediately became serious.

"Then die!"

Wow~~~
In an instant, the two sticks transformed into two arcs, vaguely forming a huge Tai Chi diagram, and smashed directly towards Lei Zhan!

"Hmph!" Lei Zhan suddenly produced a silver spear in his hand, a spear that seemed to have a flowing galaxy on it. His aura exploded instantly, and with a twirl of the spear in his hand, it transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long spear shadow.

The spear was imbued with an interplay of time and space, emanating an invisible power that even shattered the surrounding void.

Meanwhile, in the valley below, the countless flowers and plants that the True God of Release had manipulated were instantly annihilated into nothingness.

"Hmm?" The True God of Release's heart pounded wildly. At this moment, he had no mind to pay attention to the flowers and plants. He only felt an extremely terrifying threat spreading out.

That was the feeling of being able to destroy everything, to annihilate everything.

"What a terrifying shot! I can sense that this guard's understanding of the power of time and space is far below the fifth level, and they haven't even combined them yet. But this terrifying move actually gave me a feeling that I couldn't resist it..."

The True God of Released Prison dared not be careless in the slightest. In that instant, a huge Tai Chi diagram faintly appeared in the two sticks in his hands. The power of Tai Chi and the power of Wuji were running wildly to resist this spear that seemed capable of destroying everything.

"Clang~~~"

The terrifying shockwaves from the collision spread outwards, and the battle reached the valley below, where countless rocks began to be annihilated.

"Hmm? Your spear... a Chaos Treasure?" The True God of Release felt the fluctuations in aura emanating from the silver spear, and his expression grew even more grim. Originally, besides his superior comprehension of the Dao, the Chaos Treasure he possessed was one of the reasons for his increased strength.

But now...

"Again!" Lei Zhan gazed at the True God of Release from Hell from afar, pondering to himself, "This annihilation of space and time is indeed extraordinary. But this secret technique is ultimately someone else's path. As for me, I should still be able to perform it in this way!"

With a thought, Lei Zhan's silver spear gleamed, and with a thrust, the surrounding spacetime distorted, revealing a massive black hole where the two fundamental forces of time and space intertwined and clashed...

"Block!" The True God of Release twisted his two staffs, and a huge Tai Chi phantom flowed, followed by a burst of ink-black light.

boom! ! !
In an instant, the black hole annihilated the inky black light on the two sticks, and then it completely disintegrated.

"Hmm? The power has weakened?" The True God of Release was taken aback, puzzled. "It seems... that terrifying aura of destruction has become stronger, but the power is actually weaker?"

The same move, and the True God of Release could clearly sense the change in power between the two. Yet even so, the True God of Release felt as if a dark cloud was shrouding his heart.

“No! No! This ‘Annihilation Style’ seems to be… lacking something!” Lei Zhan frowned, pondering in his heart, and with a flick of his silver spear, he continued to fight against the True God of Release.

……

Rumble~~~
Rumble~~~
High in the sky, the spear whistled through the air, distorting time and shattering space within a radius of ten thousand miles. At times, a colossal black hole, radiating destructive power, appeared, engulfing the vast expanse of space and sweeping away everything in its path…

"Annihilation..."

"Annihilation..."

Lei Zhan murmured to himself, searching for that glimmer of inspiration in the darkness.

call out!
The spear thrust out again, distorting space and time within a radius of ten thousand miles, as if a budding flower suddenly burst into bloom. The power of space and time surged forth, annihilating everything within that radius.

"Boom~~~"

In the sky, a huge illusory image of a Taiji diagram flashed by. The True God of Release looked much more relaxed and easily smoothed out the shattered spacetime distortion within a radius of ten thousand miles.

"Watcher, your power to manipulate space and time is getting weaker and weaker. With this, you can't defeat me! You'd better leave quickly!"

The True God of Release looked at Lei Zhan from afar, his eyes filled with coldness: "Take treasures from me? I possess three Chaos Treasures. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, they would have been taken from me long ago... Hmm?"

Suddenly, the expression of the God of Release from Hell changed.

Sniff～～～
High in the sky, a cold light suddenly appeared, and a silver spear thrust out.

Whoosh! The spear moved like lightning, its entire body shrouded in distorted spacetime ripples, with a point of light shining at its tip.

That tiny black light seemed like a beginning, initially no bigger than a pinhead, and extremely inconspicuous.

In an instant, that single 'point' suddenly exploded, expanding rapidly before the naked eye, forming a terrifying black hole in a flash.

As if in the birth and evolution of the universe, within the black hole vortex, the forces of time, space, and even the spacetime forces formed by their combination are all spinning and strangling each other wildly.

That was the ultimate destruction, a destruction capable of annihilating everything...

"This, this..." A look of fear appeared on the face of the True God of Release.

This black hole appeared too quickly and was too bizarre.

It appeared in an instant and erupted in an instant, giving him almost no time to react before he was swallowed up by the black hole.

"Damn it! The surrounding time and space are completely shattered and chaotic; there's no way to escape! I can only passively defend..." This feeling made the True God of Release tremble. Limitless power and Taiji power swirled around him, desperately resisting. But the terrifying annihilating power around him continued to crush, tear, and annihilate him...

"Yes, that's the feeling." Lei Zhan looked at everything happening in front of him, and smiled as he watched the True God of Release struggling to resist with his powerful divine body.

"Annihilation Technique, successful!"

"Although it's only in its nascent stage right now, and may not even be as powerful as the actual annihilation of time and space, it's more suitable for me. If it continues to grow in the future..."

This technique, 'Annihilation,' is the glimmer of inspiration that Lei Zhan has been desperately seeking. It is a spacetime technique that Lei Zhan has derived from the secret art of 'Spacetime Annihilation,' drawing upon its mysteries in order to deduce a spacetime technique more suitable for himself.

Now, regarding the various directions of the Spacetime Path, Lei Zhan has already made initial progress with the 'Shattered Star' and 'Annihilation' methods, and he is in a very good mood.

Although both of these techniques are currently only in their most rudimentary form, not even rudimentary, they are still a good start. In the future, they only need to develop in this direction and continuously improve them, just like planting a seed, which will one day grow into a towering tree.

“The path of spacetime now has the ‘Shattered Star’ and ‘Annihilation’ methods. As long as we continue to deduce it, we will eventually be able to perfect it.” Lei Zhan pondered to himself.

"However... the Path of Time and Space is a perfect combination of time and space. In the future, will the Path of Time and Space be able to perfectly separate the two at will?"

"The strongest Dao of Time? The strongest Dao of Space? Or even the strongest Dao of Spacetime?"

A thousand thoughts churned in his mind, but at this moment, Lei Zhan felt a stirring in his heart.

suddenly.

"Stop! Stop now! I give up!" a voice suddenly rang out.

"Ok?"

Lei Zhan stopped thinking and looked over. He saw that under the terrifying annihilation power, the entire body of the True God of Release was obliterated, and the aura emanating from his body was becoming weaker and weaker.

"You're admitting defeat already?" Lei Zhan asked with a smile.

"I surrender! I surrender! Guardian, I surrender!" The voice of the True God of Release was extremely anxious. "Stop this secret technique... I, I can't hold on much longer!"

"Hmph." Lei Zhan shook his head, and with a thought, the terrifying black hole that swept across tens of thousands of miles immediately dissipated.

Wow~~~
High in the sky, countless flesh and blood coalesced, and the divine power of the True God, with its powerful aura fluctuations, surged, forming the pale-faced True God of Release.

"Hoo!" The True God of Release took a deep breath, his eyes still showing lingering fear.

"It's so evil!"

"Watcher, your spacetime magic is too bizarre. Time and space are everywhere, crushing me from all directions. That feeling... is too eerie!"

"Are you convinced now?" Lei Zhan asked.

"I'm convinced! I accept defeat wholeheartedly!" There was a hint of bitterness in the voice of the True God of Release: "You've improved too quickly. And you've even mastered the path of time and space, this secret technique of time and space..."

The True God of Release shook his head and then said, "I can give you all my treasures, including the three Chaos Treasures, but I hope... that when you have the ability in the future, you can set me free."

"Set you free?" Lei Zhan nodded slightly.

If he possesses this power in the future, these prisoners held in the world's prison will be of no use to him. At that time, even releasing these prisoners will not be a big deal.

Wow~~~
Seeing Lei Zhan nod in agreement, the True God of Release breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, a large number of magical artifacts appeared in the air in an instant. Among these magical artifacts, the aura emanating from two short sticks and a small golden triangular tower was particularly powerful.

"Hmm? This is the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower!" Lei Zhan's eyes lit up as his gaze fell on the small tower.

The small tower suspended high in the sky was silver-white with a faint layer of golden light on it, and its body was completely pyramid-shaped.

Even though Lei Zhan was some distance away from the small tower, he could still faintly sense the disorder in space and time around it.

Under normal circumstances, Lei Zhan could influence spacetime by virtue of his understanding of it. However, with the fourth level of spacetime power, Lei Zhan could only maintain his own twenty times the speed of time acceleration even at his strongest, and it consumed a great deal of his divine power.

The spacetime acceleration magic treasure in front of us, the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, has a very stable space inside. Even cultivators who are not familiar with spacetime can easily change the flow of time within the tower through this magic treasure.

"It really is a treasure!" Lei Zhan smiled and waved his hand, and the triangular tower appeared in front of him.

"Refining."

The divine power of the true god within Lei Zhan immediately invaded, rapidly refining this chaotic treasure. The instant the refinement was successful, the small tower's aura completely subsided, becoming inconspicuous and ceasing to emit golden light.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Lei Zhan sensed it briefly and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He then looked at the large number of magical treasures floating in the air and with a wave of his hand, he collected them all.

"This Sky-Gazing Taihao Pagoda is extremely valuable; this one alone is comparable to more than ten ordinary ones. Even for a World Realm expert, it's a rare treasure." The True God of Release looked at the triangular golden pagoda being stacked, refined, and stored away, a hint of reluctance in his heart. "This was the greatest opportunity I ever obtained back in the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom. What a pity..."

The True God of Release shook his head and sighed. It was a pity that he had offended the ruler of the Nine Chaos Kingdom back then and had been imprisoned in this world's prison for five or six Chaos Eras without freedom.

"Alright, with my growth rate, the day will come when you regain your freedom." Lei Zhan looked at the God of Release and then said, "Don't resist, I'm going to probe your memories now."

"Hmm." The True God of Release's eyes flickered, but having handed over all the treasures, there was naturally no room for resistance.
