The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Nine-horned lightning snake..."

Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit sat cross-legged at the core of the sea of ​​lightning, gazing at the nine-horned electric serpent swimming in the distance with a leisurely look.

"The powerful being of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom created the 'Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique' by modifying his divine body and taming the nine-horned lightning serpent. And I sit here cross-legged, constantly observing the nine-horned lightning serpent and the lightning sea serpent..."

"Meanwhile, the second primordial spirit avatar, far away in the Three Realms, is also comprehending through the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, and the acceleration of time has increased from three hundred times to five hundred times."

"There are also eighteen avatars of the main body, which are simultaneously transforming the divine body in the outer Thunder Swamp..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Lei Zhan's eyes, "Having spent 1,500 years comprehending within the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, coupled with the personal experiences of my avatar, it seems there are other ways to tame this nine-horned electric serpent..."

"After the divine body was transformed into a suitable lightning form by divine power, the nine-horned electric serpent with its sentience no longer resisted or rejected the divine body. After that, there should still be a possibility of taming it with mental effort."

Thoughts raced through my mind.

The idea of ​​using mental power to tame the nine-horned electric snake is not without merit.

The Nine-Horned Electric Serpent is a powerful bolt of lightning possessing spirituality, much like the golden rainbow of the sun within the second primordial spirit's avatar.

The Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique requires the use of Thousand Rotten Divine Fruit, Myriad Thunder Divine Crystal, and Chaos Spiritual Liquid, all of which are taming agents that make the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent obedient.

Ultimately, it's simply a matter of using external objects to make the nine-horned electric snake inside the body feel comfortable and stop resisting.

Just like the Golden Rainbow of the Sun, the pure Three-Legged Golden Crow bloodline is like another home for the Golden Rainbow of the Sun, a home where the Golden Rainbow of the Sun can feel warmth.

“I have experience cultivating the divine power of the Golden Sun Rainbow. Now that I am cultivating the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique, after I have completely transformed my divine body, I will try to tame the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent using the method of taming the Golden Sun Rainbow.”

Lei Zhan thought to himself, "Now that my divine body has been successfully modified, those nine-horned electric snakes won't cause me any harm. Even if they feel uncomfortable and try to escape during the process, my second primordial spirit clone will probably react in time and be able to catch them again..."

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

In terms of speed, Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit unleashed the divine power of the Golden Sun Rainbow, which was in no way inferior to the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

In terms of divine body, after cultivating the divine power "Golden Statue", the divine body is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and can withstand the destructive power of the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

This vast sea of ​​lightning is teeming with nine-horned electric snakes; one could practically catch one or two of them by simply walking around the area around the Thunder God Crystal.

"However, the chances of successfully taming the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent with mental power will be higher once mental power reaches the fifth level..."

As Lei Zhan spoke, he closed his eyes.

Improving the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique is not something that can be done overnight, but raising one's mental strength to the fifth level is already within reach.

Three years have passed, and the clone in the Earth's core world that used the Eternal Tribulation Heart Stone is now about to experience countless lifetimes and complete the cycle of reincarnation.

……

The inner Earth.

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, completely immersed in the illusion of the Eternal Calamity Heart Stone.

Lifetime after life.

Emperors and beggars.

Right path, wrong path.

Ordinary people, local gentry, and bandit leaders.

A low-profile farmer from a martial arts sect, but in reality, the sect's patriarch...

These illusory worlds are like real reincarnations.

In every lifetime, Lei Zhan lived a very wonderful life.

Even if one becomes a demon, the most evil demon in the world, one can still become an invincible figure, a demon leader that no one can defeat.

So true.

For cultivators who have not yet been born into a world of hearts, this Eternal Tribulation Heart Stone is not only comparable to reincarnation, but it will also cause their Dao heart to begin to blur.

After all, these are all derived from the content that Lei Zhan is most familiar with, just like Lei Zhan having the most beautiful dream.

However, there are a full ten thousand of these incredibly immersive dreams!

"Click~~~"

suddenly.

A crisp sound echoed in the quiet room, as if glass were shattering.

The black stone floating in front of Lei Zhan seemed to shatter completely the moment the sound rang out.

Countless cracks quickly spread across the entire stone, which then collapsed rapidly, turning into a pile of ashes.

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

"This dream was so long and so real!"

Lei Zhan looked around; everything was so familiar, yet it seemed so strange to him.

He has experienced countless reincarnations, each one of which is extremely long for him.

"boom!!!"

A torrent of memories surged forth from the depths of my memory, memories accumulated and sealed within the depths of my mind through countless lifetimes of reincarnation.

Each lifetime lasts from a hundred years to a thousand or even ten thousand years. A massive amount of memories assaulted Lei Zhan's soul at once, leaving him completely stunned.

"Returning to one's true self..."

"This is the return of the mind to its true nature..."

Lei Zhan's eyes were somewhat vacant, but then those vacant pupils seemed to gradually melt like an iceberg, becoming as transparent and bright as water.

That is the tranquility after weathering countless storms, and the clarity after a spring washes away the dust...

Even if the fantasy world is incredibly real, filled with love, family, hatred, boundless ambition, and unbridled madness...

As the team endured trials and tribulations, their spirit and will became even more unshakeable, maintaining a sliver of clarity and a sense of detachment from worldly affairs.

Lei Zhan was not bewitched by this illusion; his soul and will observed everything that was happening...

This is the wondrous use of the Eternal Calamity Heart Stone.

"BOOM!"

The heart extends.

Mental energy is also skyrocketing.

In an instant, the invisible mental force extended continuously into the void, growing ever stronger. Lei Zhan seemed to 'see' the myriad beings in the Earth's core, the countless sects of cultivators in majestic cities, and the true gods and immortals either in seclusion or teaching their disciples…

The heart continues to expand.

As mental strength continues to grow, one can see more.

Soon, the expanding mental energy easily enveloped the entire inner world...

"Hmm? This restriction..." Lei Zhan frowned.

He could sense that his mental power could easily cover a wider area, but the invisible restriction of the inner world bound him from nowhere, and even his ethereal mental power could not cross this restriction by the slightest.

"As expected of such a powerful being..." Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed, falling silent once again.

……

Sea of ​​Lightning.

Within this seemingly boundless expanse of black lightning, the mental power of the eighteen main body avatars and the second primordial spirit avatar was also constantly growing and expanding.

The power of the mind is ethereal and intangible, yet the lightning serpent and the nine-horned electric serpent do not harm it. The power of the mind, which has broken through to the fifth level, spreads out continuously.

Splash splash ...

The power of his mind spread, gradually enveloping the entire sea of ​​thunder, and then expanding into the chaos beyond the sea of ​​thunder...

a long time.

"So many Thunder God Crystals were born in this Sea of ​​Lightning?" Lei Zhan was shocked, followed by a surge of joy.

Under the fifth level of mental exploration, everything was unobstructed, and everything in the Sea of ​​Lightning was clearly presented in front of Lei Zhan.

"I never imagined that such a vast sea of ​​lightning would contain a total of twenty-one Myriad Thunder God Crystals! Yet, since the World God of Beixiu was able to discover this sea of ​​lightning, he didn't simply take these treasures away?"

Lei Zhan was puzzled, but then shook his head. The treasure was right in front of him. Since the World God of Beixiu hadn't taken it, it meant he had been given a chance.

Suppressing the myriad thoughts in his mind, Lei Zhan pondered, "Now that my mental strength has successfully broken through to the fifth level, I will try to tame this nine-horned electric serpent. If I can, it will save me a lot of treasures."

"And I am extremely confident that I can take all twenty-one Thunder God Crystals for myself..."

shhhhhh! ! !
Just then, figures dressed in black robes flew in from the black lightning zone outside.

The endless black lightning bolts all took the shape of snakes, running wildly with destructive power.

The ocean is vast, yet it is difficult for swimming fish to drown.

This 'Thunderous Serpent Zone,' a place of utter despair, was like a vast ocean to the eighteen clones of Lei Zhan, posing no danger whatsoever.

Each clone did not need to rely on protective divine powers to withstand the attacks, and easily moved through the large number of lightning serpents.

One after another, the lightning serpents darted about, but they couldn't touch Lei Zhan at all. In fact, they made Lei Zhan feel as if he were bathing in warm water, feeling a warm current.

"Haha!" Lei Zhan laughed immediately. "This lightning divine body is indeed full of wonderful uses."

Lei Zhan had a smile on his face, but his gaze was fixed on the countless nine-horned electric snakes that were surrounded by the Ten Thousand Thunder God Crystal in the distance.

He already had many Nine-Horned Lightning Serpents around him, but no matter how dense they were, they were still insufficient compared to those surrounding the Myriad Thunder God Crystal.

"Tens of thousands of nine-horned lightning snakes surround the Thunder God Crystal. If I get close, and these nine-horned lightning snakes touch my divine body, my modified body should be able to easily capture one of them..."

During the process of cultivating the "Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique" to transform his divine body, Lei Zhan had already condensed the divine runes of the "Lightning Serpent Egg" within his divine body. Under the effect of the Lightning Serpent Egg, as long as a nine-horned lightning serpent touches Lei Zhan's body, it will be directly attracted into it and fall into a deep sleep within the Lightning Serpent Egg inside Lei Zhan's body.

"First, catch a nine-horned electric snake." Lei Zhan's main body came closer and with a wave of his hand, he put away this second primordial spirit clone.

Without hesitation, the eighteen clones flew towards the confluence of the ten thousand nine-horned electric snakes in the distance. They seemed poised to completely surround the center of the snakes.

"All eighteen clones are converging on the ten thousand Thunder God Crystals. As long as one clone is lucky enough to be touched by the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent, the taming of mental power can begin immediately."

……

"Whoosh!"

A black figure, like a streak of light, swept across the sea of ​​lightning, approaching the nine-horned electric serpent.

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
The area where the fortress stood was already teeming with nine-horned electric snakes.

Even the black lightning scales formed on the nine-horned black snakes could be seen very clearly.

They were incredibly active, roaming happily, sometimes flying slowly, sometimes flying fast.

suddenly.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan looked at the black lightning bolt in the distance and a smile appeared on his face.

A nine-horned electric snake, moving freely, gradually approached Lei Zhan's clone and flew towards his direction.

call out!
"Huh? They're gone?" Lei Zhan was taken aback.

With a flick of its tail, the nine-horned electric serpent flew off in another direction with a whoosh...

at the same time.

The remaining seventeen clones were all approaching the nine-horned electric snakes.

If it weren't for the fact that they were currently too close to the Thunder God Crystal and didn't want to disturb the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent inside, Lei Zhan would have had his second primordial spirit help to surround and block the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

call out!
Suddenly, a black bolt of lightning streaked past in the distance.

A gigantic black electric snake slithered past one of Lei Zhan's avatars, grazing his body. But the instant it touched Lei Zhan's divine body, the 'Egg of the Electric Snake' divine rune within his body burst forth with dazzling light.

Wow~~~
A powerful suction force emanated from Lei Zhan's body, followed by an irresistible attraction that was transmitted to the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent through that instant of contact.

The enormous nine-horned electric serpent was completely attracted at this moment. Its intelligence caused it to 'whoosh' directly into Lei Zhan's body, like a fish returning to its nest. Its huge body shrank, becoming like an incredibly docile little snake.

Under Lei Zhan's mental perception, the nine-horned electric snake that had entered his body coiled up in circles and had already fallen into a deep sleep within the lightning egg.

"The first one!"

A smile appeared in Lei Zhan's eyes, and this clone sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​lightning.

Wow.

A black figure flew over from a distance, waved its hand to remove the seated figure, and then flew back towards the nine-horned lightning snakes.

Lei Zhan never expected to succeed on his first try in order to tame the nine-horned electric snake with his own efforts.

There are eighteen main bodies and clones of the demon piled up in this sea of ​​lightning, and the more nine-horned electric snakes captured, the better.
