The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

In the endless chaos, there was a medicinal field, and next to the medicinal field was a thatched hut.

At this moment, a group of figures were gathered in front of the thatched hut. They were all great beings from the Three Realms, such as Lei Zhan, Suirenshi, Shennongshi, Houyi, the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, and Bodhi.

"Everyone's almost here, so let's head over!" Suirenshi's eyes swept over the group of powerful figures standing around him.

"Zixiu and the others are all inside my grotto-heaven treasure," said the Three Pure Ones Daoist.

“Amitabha, Ksitigarbha, and the others have also come along,” the Buddha said with a smile.

“Ji Dian and Wukong have also come with me and are in my personal cave,” said Patriarch Bodhi.

"Hmm? Second Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother are here too?" Upon hearing this, Lei Zhan immediately looked at Master Bodhi, but it was not unexpected.

They and Lei Zhan both became disciples of Patriarch Bodhi. Lei Zhan naturally did not forget his senior brothers who had helped him a great deal. He not only gave them the "Ice and Fire Tempering Golden Elixir Technique," but also generously gifted them a portion of Ice Heart Essence and Nine Flame Elixir.

"Let's go. Those chaotic aliens have been gone for almost half an hour. And the flying boat they were on is also a rare chaotic treasure," Hou Yi said.

"Fortunately, we also have a high-grade Chaos Treasure-level flying boat, which will be much faster than that alien race."

"I estimate that we can just manage to stop that Chaos Alien in the depths of Chaos, and then we can surround and kill them all in one fell swoop!"

Although they knew that Yuan Daoren wanted to escape the Three Realms, Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, and Tathagata were not actually in such a hurry.

One reason is that their magical artifacts have an advantage. The journey is not short, and by controlling their artifacts, they can travel much faster than Yuan Daoren in the chaos.

The second reason is closely related to the environment surrounding the Three Realms.

The Three Realms are far too remote, and the surrounding environment is far too harsh. Moreover, the surrounding area is full of dead lands and dangerous places, with many unknown dangers.

From ancient times to the present, no other chaotic alien races have ever invaded from any other direction. All chaotic alien races have only one way to reach the Three Realms, which is through a 'chaotic vortex space' located extremely far away from the Three Realms!
However, even a powerful being at the level of an Ancestral God, traveling at full speed with a Chaos Treasure, would need at least twenty days to reach that chaotic vortex space.

Therefore, arriving a few hours earlier has absolutely no impact.

"A top-grade Chaos Treasure Flying Boat?" Lei Zhan looked around, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Yes! This magic weapon was obtained from the Lord of All Things after we killed him," Suirenshi said with a smile.

“A top-grade Chaos Treasure is already quite good. However…” Lei Zhan glanced at Suirenshi and said with a smile, “I have obtained a flying boat of the highest grade Chaos Treasure level, which should make our travel speed faster. Everyone, why don’t you use my magic weapon?”

As he spoke, Lei Zhan flipped his hand, and a palm-sized, deep blue flying boat appeared in his hand. It was the Flying Trench Divine Wooden Boat that Lei Zhan had obtained after sweeping through the World Prison.

"Hmm? Lei Zhan, do you have something better?" The Three Pure Ones' eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Lei Zhan, his gaze falling on the flying raft divine wooden boat in Lei Zhan's hand.

“It is indeed better than the Chaos Treasure in my hand.” Suirenshi also looked at the magic weapon in Lei Zhan’s hand.

The aura emanating from the flying trench divine wooden boat was completely undisguised, and most of the powerful beings present possessed one or two Chaos Treasures, so they could easily recognize it at a glance.

Although it was very strange that Lei Zhan suddenly possessed a Chaos Treasure, especially a top-grade Chaos Treasure, given the resources of the Three Realms, the powerful figures present tacitly refrained from asking further questions.

After all, everyone has secrets, and no one would be so tactless as to pry into them.

"Then let's ride on Junior Brother's flying boat."

Hou Yi laughed and said, "Junior Brother is skilled in the way of time and space, and he is also controlling a chaotic treasure. I estimate that we can take a slightly longer route and get ahead of this Yuan Daoist, and then wait and ambush him."

In fact, Hou Yi was right. The path of time and space is good at traveling, and although the path of time and space that Lei Zhan followed was mostly about attack, the combination of time power and space power at the fifth level was in no way inferior to others.

Lei Zhan's speed in controlling the Flying Trench Divine Wooden Boat is far greater than that of ordinary ancestral gods and immortals!

……

The enormous icy star radiated an icy blue light, and endless cold currents spread out, as if they could freeze and solidify the space itself.

This icy star was incredibly large, roughly the same size as the two supreme stars deep within the endless void surrounding the Three Realms.

Most importantly, this star is actually one that the Three Realms will inevitably pass through on their path to the Chaos Vortex Space.

But if you take a detour, it will be much farther.

The journey that would normally take about twenty days to reach the Chaos Vortex Space may now take a whole month!

It's important to know that the area surrounding the Three Realms is fraught with peril and desolation. This chaotic vortex space, however, is currently the only relatively safe passage discovered, and one with a very high probability of leading out of the Three Realms to the Great Mo Domain beyond!

"Whoosh~~~"

A dilapidated wooden boat repeatedly weaved through the chaos, flying swiftly.

"It's already the eighth day. At the speed at which I can control this Chaos Treasure to travel, I should have about twelve days left to reach that Chaos Vortex passage."

As he gazed at the enormous, icy star in the distance, his mind grew heavier as he drew closer to the chaotic vortex passage. Instead of feeling any relief, his heart grew heavier with each passing moment.

"Why? Even though I've already left the Three Realms, I feel increasingly uneasy. It's as if... some extremely terrible danger is waiting for me."

He frowned, having been extremely cautious the entire way.

With his methods, he could leave the Three Realms quietly, and generally no one would notice.

Even when secretly gathering the children he had enslaved, he was extremely careful and cautious.

But a vague feeling kept nagging at him, making him feel that something was amiss.

"This feeling..." Mindshake whispered, "is dangerous, and it's a danger that could threaten my life."

The last time he had this feeling was more than half a epoch before the Chaos Era.

When his second primordial spirit went to fight in the area of ​​Earth Dragon Star, he had a similar feeling.

But that time, he faced a life-or-death crisis and almost perished completely.

At the last moment, he was incredibly lucky to escape with his life. Although he was seriously injured, it was at that time that he discovered the ancient Pangu Chaos World and possessed the body of the Source Elder.

Suddenly, "Hmm?" Mind General frowned and looked at the enormous icy star.

"Wow~~~"

In the hazy chaos, a huge, icy star in the distance emitted a faint, icy-blue starlight, bringing a rare glimmer of light to the endless, hazy chaos.

Within the chaos, one figure after another appeared.

Lei Zhan, Suirenshi, Shennongshi, Houyi, the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Bodhi, and other great beings emerged from the chaos, gazing at the dilapidated wooden boat floating in the chaos.

Subtly, one powerful being after another, whether intentionally or unintentionally, completely surrounded the seemingly dilapidated wooden boat.

"This..." Xin Shen was startled. His gaze swept over the figures standing in the chaos around him, and his heart sank. His entire being was filled with dark clouds.

The figures appearing around him were quite familiar to him.

It can be said that he has tried to slowly approach almost every powerful being here, and has tried to use secret techniques on each one in an attempt to silently enslave them over endless years.

There are those with strong Daoist hearts, such as the Three Pure Ones and Buddha, whose minds cannot be completely controlled by spiritual enslavement.

There are also those like Lei Zhan and Hou Yi, who have only been exposed to the secret arts for a short time, or who have never had the opportunity to learn or use them at all...

"Suirenshi? The Three Pure Ones, Tathagata... and Bodhi?" Although Xin Shenjiang vaguely understood the source of his unease, he still smiled and said:

"What day is it today? Why are so many fellow cultivators appearing in this chaos?"

"Could it be... that you know I am about to leave the Three Realms? That I am going to follow in the footsteps of the Goddess Nuwa and head towards the endless chaos?"

His mind would wander around, but his smile would not fade.

"Such a grand mobilization, is this... a preemptive move to send this old man to his doom in the chaos?"

"Yuan Daoist, stop pretending!" Sanqing Daoist said coldly, "You have secretly enslaved many powerful beings in my Three Realms, and now you even want to escape from the Three Realms directly. Today is the day you die!"

"Yuan Daoren? Should I address you as Yuan Daoren..." Suirenshi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "or perhaps something else?"

"Yuan Daoren, regarding the matter of Chang'e back then, were you involved?" Hou Yi stared intently at Xin Shenjiang, his aura erupting, the fluctuations of his Ancestral God level energy bursting forth without reservation. His eyes, however, were like cold, sharp blades, chilling to the bone.

"Don't scare me, all of you!" Xin Shenjiang suddenly laughed. The unknown dangers are the most terrifying, but what he saw before him wasn't enough to make him tremble with fear.

Xin Shenjiang stopped pretending and smiled calmly, "Since you all understand in your hearts, why ask again? This show of force... tsk tsk tsk!"

He was completely oblivious to the murderous gazes emanating from those around him.

If someone like Nuwa, who had broken through to become a world god, were to set a trap halfway through his journey, he might be alarmed.

But these natives from the Three Realms are at most a few at the level of Ancestral Gods, or even some who are barely comparable to Ancestral Gods.

Even though this level of cultivator is not present in person, they are still confident that killing these powerful beings before them is as easy as killing chicks.

Moreover, now that we are in endless chaos, even if Nuwa left behind some methods before leaving the Three Realms, it would probably be difficult to use them again.

"You guys really surprise me!" Xin Shen looked at them one by one, especially lingering on Lei Zhan and Hou Yi for a moment.

"I thought I had been extremely careful during my half-chaotic era in this chaotic world. Even when enslaving you natives, I didn't deliberately use too many methods..."

"However, what I didn't expect was that you were able to detect me. You know, even when Nuwa broke through to become a world god, she couldn't detect my existence!"

"Damn it!" Bodhi Patriarch looked at Yuan Daoren, who was smiling but actually extremely arrogant, with coldness in his eyes.

"So, you had already infiltrated the ancient Pangu world. Your desperate attempt to save me back then... was all part of your deliberate plan?"

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid. In this tiny chaotic world, who can do anything to me? They are naturally at my mercy."

"Unfortunately, after planning for half of the Chaos Era, I still didn't get the spacetime secret technique you created."

Xin Shen shook his head. "Even your disciples have embarked on the path of time and space, and are even about to surpass you. Yet you still refuse to give it to me."

"You really think too highly of this old Taoist!" Patriarch Bodhi said coldly. "The method I created is actually worth all this effort from you."

"The preciousness of the secrets of time and space... you wouldn't understand." The Mind General still smiled.

"However, I have plenty of patience. I'm never in a hurry, and I usually only act at the very end. During the ancient war of destruction, I was just as patient... And thankfully, I was patient. Back then, watching Nuwa sweep away everything, I was truly terrified. Unfortunately, I escaped in the end!"

"The ancient war of destruction..." Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, and others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with deep apprehension.

Although they had suspected it for a long time, when everything was confirmed by word of mouth, it still sent chills down their spines!
If Nuwa hadn't broken through to the level of Pangu and swept away everything, it's hard to imagine how embarrassing the final outcome would have been.

"It's a pity... I don't know when, but you all discovered the clues and even started to observe me in secret." Xin Shenjiang shook his head and sighed.

Even now, he is beginning to understand that the feeling that he had been watched by a pair of eyes in the dark for thousands of years was actually these natives observing him!
"You chaotic alien race, you truly deserve to die! You are a thousand times more hateful than those who have previously intruded!" The Three Pure Ones Daoist was enveloped in boundless killing intent. Around him, four chaotic divine swords radiating terrifying auras appeared!

"Ha! How hateful?" Xin Shenjiang shook his head and laughed, "This is nothing! Stepping onto the path of cultivation is inherently about the strong being the only ones who can stand. One must contend with the heavens, fight against the earth, and even kill fellow cultivators. However..."

"Do you think I'm telling you all this just as a dying wish to satisfy your curiosity?" Xin Shenjiang said calmly.

"Huh?" Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, and the others were all taken aback.

"Be careful, these Chaos Aliens are far too arrogant," Lei Zhan secretly transmitted his voice. His gaze remained fixed on Xin Shen Jiang, while he kept a close watch on him.

With a calm expression, he issued the order:

"Set up the formation!"
