The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Black figures weaved through the endless sea of ​​lightning, passing through black electric snakes, and approaching a series of black electric snakes with nine horns.

At the heart of this vast sea of ​​lightning, there were simply too many nine-horned electric serpents.

Even if they are extremely fast, comparable to the limits of the Heavenly Dao, over time, some will inevitably be unlucky.

The massive nine-horned electric serpent's body would vanish into thin air the moment it touched any of the wandering human figures.

A massive, destructive nine-horned lightning serpent vanished without a trace from the sea of ​​lightning.

……

Inside the magical treasure cave.

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged on a mountain peak, surrounded by red and blue beads floating around him, while a figure in a golden robe stood high in the sky.

“It’s been three months. Twelve of the eighteen main avatars have already captured the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent. Apart from the two that failed to merge and completely dissipated, there are still ten left…” Lei Zhan’s eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

"But the method of taming the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent is indeed feasible. However, when inscribing divine patterns on the body of the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent, it is necessary to ensure that they do not have an excessive reaction."

"Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, it has to be done gently so they don't resist violently. Once the divine runes recorded in the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique are fully inscribed and connected to my soul, I will be able to control the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent at will. And then this escape technique will be successfully mastered."

In fact, Lei Zhan has tried many times during these three months.

Even seven or eight nine-horned electric snakes that had escaped from Lei Zhan's body were startled, but some of them were caught again.

Some of the nine-horned electric snakes were more intelligent and fled before the second primordial spirits guarding the side could react.

Fortunately, although this magical treasure was only a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it could still exert some restraining effect. Against the second primordial spirit, whose speed had also reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao, it naturally couldn't cause the slightest disturbance.

"Unfortunately... these disturbed nine-horned electric snakes sensed my presence, and even with the help of the electric snake eggs, they will no longer obey me after entering my body. The difficulty has increased several times over, and I will have to put in a lot more effort."

Lei Zhan shook his head slightly, but this situation was within his expectations.

The nine-horned electric serpent possesses sentience and knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. This is the nature of living beings, and naturally, it is also the instinct of the nine-horned electric serpent.

Of course, even if he couldn't use them to cultivate the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique, Lei Zhan wouldn't let go of these Nine-Horned Lightning Serpents.

It should be noted that the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent is not only a treasure for cultivating the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique.

Among the great beings in the Three Realms, only the Thunder God Celestial Venerable has the ability to capture some nine-horned lightning snakes. Even top-tier beings in the Three Realms like the Three Pure Ones Suirenshi, if they wanted to use nine-horned lightning snakes to refine treasures, they would have no way to deal with the nine-horned lightning snakes whose speed is comparable to the limit of the Heavenly Dao.

"take it easy."

Lei Zhan gazed at the nine-horned black snake curled up in circles and asleep within the electric snake egg inside his body, his eyes filled with a deep, unfathomable light.

"At most, it will take three hundred years. The energy I accumulate will be enough for me to have another major epiphany. During this time, I should also try more things and accumulate more experience. When I do, it will be easier to deduce the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique."

Lei Zhan closed his eyes and began to study the various techniques for taming the nine-horned electric snake in the Nine-Horned Electric Snake Escape Technique.

At the same time, wisps of mental energy slowly enveloped the nine-horned electric snake within his body. Carefully, as if threading a needle, the mental energy slowly condensed, gradually controlling the nine-horned electric snake.

Following this, golden divine runes began to slowly condense and were gradually etched onto the body of the nine-horned lightning serpent...

This "Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique" is actually already quite perfect.

All Lei Zhan had to do was use his mental energy to replace the effects of treasures like Chaos Spirit Liquid, Myriad Thunder God Crystal, and Thousand Rotten God Fruit. When Lei Zhan inscribed divine runes on the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent's body, the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent wouldn't resist and would obediently establish a connection with him.

Just like making a contract with a spirit beast, the "Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique" is essentially about making a contract with the nine-horned lightning serpent and establishing a connection.

Although the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent possesses some spirituality compared to the Thunder Serpent, this spirituality is too low to allow for effective communication.

Otherwise, Lei Zhan could have treated the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent the same way he treated sentient beings, directly using his mind to bewitch it.

"We need to be careful. Last time, this nine-horned electric snake woke up at this time..." Lei Zhan focused his mind and became more and more careful in his movements.

Without rare items like Chaos Elixir or Thousand Rotten Divine Fruit, it would be difficult to leave divine runes on the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent's body for an extended period without causing it to resist.

What Lei Zhan needs to do is to find a balance point in this with his mental strength, so that while controlling the power of his mental strength, the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent will feel comfortable and will not resist in the slightest.

Otherwise, if the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent senses the danger, it will wake up and fly out of the electric serpent egg to escape, just like it did several times before.

Wow~~

Golden divine runes appeared within the electric serpent egg, continuously imprinting themselves onto the nine-horned electric serpent's body. Simultaneously, Lei Zhan continuously poured his mental energy into controlling the nine-horned electric serpent…

"Huh? Not good!"

Lei Zhan kept a close eye on the electric snake egg inside his body. He saw the nine-horned electric snake, which was curled up in a ball, tremble. Then, the golden divine patterns engraved on the nine-horned electric snake shattered one after another...

"Rumble~~~"

In an instant, the nine-horned electric serpent transformed into a bolt of lightning, and endless, violent destructive thunder suddenly erupted within Lei Zhan's body.

The terrifying lightning, on the same level as the golden flames of the sun, instantly coursed through Lei Zhan's entire body.

However, all eighteen clones of the main body of Lei Zhan had been modified by the Sea of ​​Lightning, and could withstand even terrifying lightning such as the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent and the Lightning Sea Serpent. So the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent that had awakened from its slumber was nothing to it.

"Whoosh!"

The nine-horned electric serpent writhed, seemingly realizing its lightning had no effect on the cultivator. Like a startled beast, it roared and burst forth from the electric serpent egg within Lei Zhan's body, appearing within the magical treasure cave. Outside.

“Suppress!” A faint voice echoed throughout the sky.

Wow~~~
The red and blue beads floating high in the sky emitted terrifying fluctuations, and in an instant they transformed into a giant hand, directly grabbing at the suddenly appearing black electric snake.

The black electric snake was like a struggling eel under this giant hand. The giant hand swept across the sky, distorting space and time in its wake, and easily grasped the huge electric snake in its hand.

Wow~~~
Big hands appear quickly and disappear even faster.

Ripples spread through the space, and the giant hand in the sky vanished, along with the nine-horned lightning snake.

"There aren't many Nine-Horned Electric Serpents left; we'll have to keep going out to catch more," Lei Zhan said, shaking his head.

Before he finished speaking, the clone sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak vanished into thin air, disappearing into this magical treasure cave.

"Wow."

The space fluctuated, and another true form appeared out of thin air on the mountain peak, then sat down cross-legged.

"Come again."

Despite failing many times, Lei Zhan remained completely calm.

With immense power and numerous clones, they now resemble an assembly line.

The failed enslavement clones will reappear in the core of the Sea of ​​Lightning to continue capturing the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

Those whose bodies already contain the nine-horned electric snake eggs wait patiently, one by one trying to tame the nine-horned electric snake with their mental power.

In reality, it is quite difficult to tame the nine-horned electric snake using other methods.

There are many powerful true gods, true immortals, and ancestral gods and immortals in the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom, and many of them have also obtained this supernatural escape technique.

Among them, there were naturally some who were unwilling to pay the price of Chaos Elixir and Thunder God Crystal, and wanted to try other methods to tame the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

Some people succeeded, trying to find that the Thousand Rotten Divine Fruit and the Ten Thousand Thunder Divine Crystal also had an effect on the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent.

Some people fail, and can only obediently follow the methods recorded in the "Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique" and slowly cultivate.

……

Time flies, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the heart of the Sea of ​​Lightning.

Within the endless sea of ​​lightning stood Lei Zhan's true form and his clones. With a thought, a black electric snake coiled around Lei Zhan's body, and even touched Lei Zhan's face with its nine-horned head, quite affectionately.

"After cultivating in this sea of ​​lightning for hundreds of years, even my understanding of the origin of lightning has reached the second level. And the mental power to tame the nine-horned lightning serpent has finally become the fourth way to cultivate the nine-horned lightning serpent escape technique."

Lei Zhan reached out and stroked the black snake head that was close to his face.

The destructive power that was once comparable to the level of ancestral fire has become incredibly gentle after being completely refined. Although it has lost that terrifying power, it has retained its terrifying speed, which is comparable to the limit of the Heavenly Dao.

"With my continuous improvement, once your mental strength reaches the fourth level, you have about a 50% chance of successfully taming the Nine-Horned Electric Serpent. If your mental strength reaches the fifth level, you can tame it 100%. It can be said that the threshold for cultivating this method has become much lower."

"Next, I want to improve the speed of my escape techniques, just like Fuma did, by combining the Way of Time and Space with the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Escape Technique or the Golden Rainbow of the Sun."

"Perhaps the third path concerning the way of space and time that I want to control is hidden within this..."

Among the powerful figures of the Boundless Sect, the fastest among the Three Realms is Feng Mo, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons of the Boundless Sect.

The Wind Demon was originally an ancestral god born with the power of wind. During the ancient war of destruction, under the pressure of Nuwa's breakthrough, he combined wind with space, allowing his speed to completely surpass the limits of the Heavenly Dao. Even Nuwa, who had just broken through to become a world god, was helpless against him.

"The Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent is essentially a bolt of lightning, a flash of electricity. The Golden Rainbow of the Sun is the same; both are a beam of light."

Lei Zhan was deep in thought.

"And the path of time and space that I'm following should also allow for an increase in speed..."

"And that guy Fengmo was born with the ability to control the Heavenly Dao of Wind in the Boundless Chaos World. Later, when he combined wind with space, his speed directly broke through the limit of the Heavenly Dao. Even after Nuwa broke through to become a World God, she could only watch Fengmo escape."

"Then, I can completely combine the golden rainbow of the sun, the nine-horned electric serpent, and spacetime."

"Or, I could create an incredibly powerful escape technique based solely on my understanding of the Dao of Space and Time. I'm afraid that even after I break through to the level of a World God, I could still use it and rely on this escape technique to traverse the endless chaos."

Lei Zhan felt a sense of anticipation. Regardless of the plan, it would give him a strong ability to survive and greatly enhance his strength.

After discovering the secrets of the Earth's core, Lei Zhan's attention had already shifted from the Three Realms to the Ice Demon Valley.

If it weren't for the existence of a Mind God General within the Three Realms, Lei Zhan might have already sent all his avatars into the Earth's core world.

"Mind General, once I comprehend the Heavenly Dao, breaking through to become an Ancestral Immortal will be no problem at all."

Lei Zhan shook his head, "But right now, we still need to get our hands on all twenty-one Thunder God Crystals."
