The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

The world's prison.

Streaks of black lightning streaked across the sky, flying through the world's prison, each radiating a powerful and terrifying aura.

"Hmm? An Ancestral Immortal? The aura is the same as before, but they've all broken through to the Ancestral Immortal level, yet they're still guarding this prison?"

In a large canyon, an old man, covered in dirt, leaned against a stone wall, his expression solemn, yet a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This guardian was only at the True God/True Immortal level a thousand years ago... Now he has broken through to become an Ancestral Immortal, but he hasn't been transferred away by that old thief Jiu Fang yet..."

The old man looked thoughtful.

It should be noted that those sent by the ruler of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom to guard the world's prison are mostly celestial gods and immortals, at most true gods and immortals.

Those who are even stronger and break through to the level of Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal are usually transferred away directly.

After all, this world prison is an extremely precious treasure to the ruler of the Nine Directions Kingdom.

The Lord of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom expended a great deal of effort and paid a heavy price to refine a complete set of World Prisons for extracting Chaos Spirit Liquid.

Such an important treasure could not possibly be entrusted to an ancestral god or immortal to carry with him.

“Even that old thief Jiufang’s most important treasure was entrusted to the First Ancestor Immortal…”

The filthy old man scratched at the shackles on his legs, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly as a surge of pleasure welled up inside him.

"More than ten Chaos Eras! I, Bilan, have been imprisoned in this world's prison for more than ten Chaos Eras!"

"Finally, finally this day has come!"

Bilan Ancestral Immortal raised his head, his eyes glowing green. He gazed at the black lightning in the far distance, a sinister smile suddenly appearing on his face.

"It seems the most likely explanation is that the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom has been destroyed, and the old thief Nine Directions may even be dead! And I, Bilan, have finally waited for the day when my great revenge will be fulfilled!"

"Has this day finally come?"

suddenly.

A voice came from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the small prison world where the Bilan Ancestral Immortal was imprisoned.

call out!
A streak of black lightning flashed across the dim sky and landed directly above the canyon.

As the black lightning dissipated, the filthy old man saw the young man in black robes revealed beneath the lightning.

The one who came here controlling the nine-horned electric snake was none other than Lei Zhan.

“Immortal Bilan, the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom has been destroyed. Are you willing to hand over all your treasures and submit to me?” Lei Zhan looked down at the dirty old man whose feet were bound by shackles and spoke directly.

"Submit to you? Hand over all the treasures?" Bi Lan Zu Xian's expression changed, and his previously slightly smiling face now turned extremely gloomy.

"court death!"

"He's only just broken through to the Ancestral Immortal level, and he's already the first one to come looking for trouble with me?"

"The first one to come looking for trouble with you?" Lei Zhan shook his head and laughed. "You're wrong. You're just one of many ancestral gods and immortals!"

"Hmm?" Bilan Ancestral Immortal frowned.

"Judging from your aura, you've only just broken through to the First-Class Ancestral Immortal realm. In just a thousand years, I don't know how many ordinary Ancestral Immortals like you I killed back in the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom!"

If we're talking about ancestral gods, there are many who might be born as ancestral gods.

But the Ancestor Immortal definitely cultivated step by step!
Bilan Ancestral Immortal has cultivated to his current level through bloodshed. He has killed many Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals, and he wouldn't obediently submit just because of a few casual words from Lei Zhan.

"If reasoning doesn't work, then it seems we'll have no choice but to take action!"

Lei Zhan looked at Bi Lan Zu Xian with a faint killing intent in his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, a black-robed figure appeared beside him.

"The Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu?" Bi Lan Ancestral Immortal said in a deep voice, "This aura is somewhat different from the one that controlled that golden rainbow escape technique before... Is this your second primordial spirit?"

“You do have some discernment,” Lei Zhan said.

"Possessing a second primordial spirit and cultivating the Eighteen Divine Demons of Tao Wu..." Bi Lan Ancestral Immortal exclaimed in his heart, "Incredible! No wonder it is a force that destroyed the Nine Chaos Kingdoms!"

Having been imprisoned in this world's prison for countless years, Bilan Zuxian, the former guard who entered the prison, had come into contact with many people, but the one in front of him was the only one that he could not quite see through.

For nearly ten thousand years, Lei Zhan did not conceal his whereabouts while sweeping through the world's prisons. Although they did not come to his small prison world, with his methods, he could clearly sense them.

Based on what he saw, Bilan Ancestral Immortal could naturally deduce some information. Just as upon seeing Lei Zhan break through to the Ancestral Immortal level, he immediately confirmed that the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom had been destroyed.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lei Zhan said calmly. "Are you willing to submit? If you are, I will give you another chance!"

"Give me another chance?" Bilan Ancestral Immortal sneered, "Even that old thief Jiufang, a World God, couldn't make me submit. You think you can just say a few words and expect me to? What a joke!" "If we can't reach an agreement, then we can only fight."

Lei Zhan was not surprised. Among those who could cultivate to the level of Ancestral Immortal, none had a weak Dao heart, and very few could be easily persuaded.

Ultimately, it all comes down to one's own strength. With greater strength comes greater influence and, naturally, more cultivators will submit and follow.

Now that I have broken through to become a first-class Ancestral Immortal, I am lacking in Chaos Treasures, and it is impossible for me to retreat easily.

"I happen to be short of some treasures, so I'll use you as a test first!" Lei Zhan's heart stirred, and his two avatars stood side by side, facing the Azure Wave Ancestor Immortal above the distant canyon.

"now!"

The words fell.

"Rumble~~~"

Within a million miles of surrounding space, the vast expanse of Yin Xuan Water and Yang Jin Flame immediately appeared, forming a massive water-fire wheel that swept across the sky.

Driven by the surging power of the ancestral immortal, the secret technique of 'Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel' made every golden flame of the sun and every drop of Taiyin Xuan Water seem to contain a spacetime, distorting time and shattering space.

The surrounding world seemed to be on the verge of being destroyed by this terrifying power.

"Die!" Lei Zhan pointed a finger into the distance.

“Hua La La~~~~”

The surrounding water and fire wheels, vast and boundless, surged and clashed wildly, crushing directly towards the filthy Azure Ancestral Immortal.

The water and fire wheel was surrounded by endless cold currents and endless scorching heat, completely enveloping the Azure Ancestral Immortal.

For the past three thousand years, although Lei Zhan has been trying his best to comprehend the Dao of Heaven, it is impossible for him to only comprehend the Dao of Heaven.

It should be noted that Ji Ning, under the accelerated time effect of the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Water and became an Ancestral Immortal in just 20,000 years.

Lei Zhan's comprehension is equally extraordinary, so naturally he won't be too bad either.

Lei Zhan primarily cultivates the path of time and space, and both his main body and second primordial spirit have cultivated the Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu, possessing a total of thirty-six clones.

Each clone can accelerate time, which is equivalent to thirty-six times the cultivation speed of a normal cultivator!

Furthermore, that single clone that underwent a 500-fold time acceleration at the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower cultivated for 1.5 million years, with the help of the black bead...

Over these long years, in addition to comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Fire, Lei Zhan not only comprehended the Ninefold Chaos Restriction, but also directly mastered the eighth level of the Ninefold Chaos Restriction, reaching the level of the goddess Nuwa.

Only the final step of comprehending the ninth layer of restrictions is needed to give birth to 'Blue and White Porcelain' in the sea of ​​consciousness!
Most importantly, Lei Zhan comprehended the third form of the Dao of Time and Space, 'Thousand Realms', as well as the divine power 'Golden Flame' that allows his true self to control the Ancestral Flame!
The supernatural power "Golden Flame" was created based on the various methods and secret techniques passed down by the gods of the Northern Xiu World, as well as the insights gained from controlling the golden flames of the sun for a long time. It was also created using a great enlightenment that occurs only once every thousand years.

This divine ability allowed his main body to control the solar golden flame at the ancestral fire level, enabling him to simultaneously control the solar golden flame and the Taiyin Xuan water to perform the secret technique 'Yin Yang Life and Death Wheel', just like his second primordial spirit!
"Ancestral Water, Ancestral Fire?" A deep sense of dread flashed in the deep green eyes of the Azure Ancestral Immortal. "What kind of secret technique is this? It actually makes me feel extremely threatened?"

This domain of water and fire that swept across the entire sky actually made even a powerful ancestral immortal like him feel extremely threatened!
"Yin and Yang—Birth and Death! Shatter!" Lei Zhan's eyes turned cold, and the enormous water and fire wheel that swept across millions of miles around him began to spin with a rumble.

The blazing golden flames seemed like the end of the world, and the endless black water threatened to freeze everything. They intertwined and mixed together, forming an endless and terrifying vortex world.

This is the Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel, which Lei Zhan fully unleashed with the power of a first-class ancestral immortal after incorporating the secret technique of the 'Water and Fire Domain'!
It is a manifestation of Lei Zhan's integration of his understanding of the Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of Water and Fire, and other Daos, forming an ultimate balance. The power of this Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel is ten times stronger than that of simple Taiyin Xuan Water or Taiyang Golden Flame!
"Huh? Now!"

Bilan Ancestral Immortal dared not be careless. With a thought, streams of azure energy appeared around him, quickly condensing into azure shuttles. There were nine shuttles, each at the level of a Chaos Treasure, which whistled and transformed into azure gusts of wind.

Rumble~~~
Wow~~~
The water and fire wheel, seemingly intent on annihilating and annihilating everything, collided with the howling blue gale. Although the blue gale emitted a terrifying roar, it began to shatter, clearly at a disadvantage.

"What?!" Ancestral Immortal Bilan's expression changed drastically. "My Nine Realms Azure Black Shuttle is actually no match for the domain generated by this Ancestral Water and Ancestral Fire?"

Bilan Ancestral Immortal was completely shocked. The power of Ancestral Fire and Ancestral Water was nothing compared to that of Ancestral Gods and Ancestors.

He has the power to control quite a few ancestral gods and immortals; he alone has encountered quite a few over the endless years.

Generally speaking, ancestral water and ancestral fire have great power to help true gods and immortals, but at the level of ancestral gods and immortals, they are almost only used for restraint.

But what she saw before her eyes was completely overturning Bilan Zuxian's understanding!
The mere fact that Lei Zhan could create a domain using only ancestral water and ancestral fire was enough to put him at a disadvantage, even when he was activating a whole set of chaotic treasures of the same origin...

You must know that he, Bilan Ancestral Immortal, had been at the Ancestral Immortal level for more than ten Chaos Eras, unlike those ordinary Ancestral Immortals who had just broken through!
"This secret technique... can actually cause the power of the ancestral water and ancestral fire to surge..." Bi Lan Ancestral Immortal's heart sank suddenly.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"The one that has made a move so far is only one of the eighteen clones of this guardian, yet it's already putting me under immense pressure. If two of the clones were to join forces..."

The thought of this possibility filled Bilan Ancestral Immortal's heart with endless dark clouds.
