The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Lei Zhan stood at a distance, constantly manipulating the Yin Xuan Water and the Sun Golden Flame to annihilate the giant black lotus.

The power of the ancestral water and ancestral fire, originally controlled by the first-class ancestral immortal's magic, had already increased dramatically. However, when faced with the black lotus secret technique, which resembled a tortoise shell, it could only play a small role.

suddenly.

"Hmm? Master and Senior Brother..."

Lei Zhan stared intently at the axe, which seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth with overwhelming power, and his eyes lit up.

"The opportunity! Now is the time!" Lei Zhan's gaze was piercing. "Mind Power—Bewitching!"

"Wow~~~"

The immense mental power originating from the fifth level surged and swept across the distant mind like an overwhelming force.

The power of the mind is ethereal and intangible, yet in the blink of an eye, it seems to become real.

In an instant.

A single thought arises, and illusions are born, leading to countless cycles of birth and death.

boom!
It was as if muffled thunder was exploding in the mind and soul, this mind-controlling secret technique directly affecting the soul and spirit.

Even though Xin Shenjiang was also a cultivator at the fifth level of mental strength with a profound Dao heart, he was still lost in confusion at this moment.

"Damn it! It's a mind-controlling technique! It's a mind-controlling technique! There are mind-controlling cultivators around!" This thought flashed through Mind Master's mind, but he was immediately pulled into the illusion.

Magical artifacts, treasures...

Power, status...

In this illusion, everything was there, even the Black Lotus God Emperor, whom he had always held in utmost reverence, was serving him attentively like a servant…

"It's fake! It's all fake! It's all an illusion!"

Although his mind yearned to indulge in it, his powerful Dao heart frantically reminded him that everything around him was an illusion! It was all a man-made dream world!

The mind struggles desperately, and finally, everything around it begins to shatter, turning into nothingness.

He also regained consciousness.

"What? This..." Xin Shenjiang was immediately stunned.

What came into view was a black axe that seemed capable of shattering endless chaos.

The mind will be able to sense the aura fluctuations generated by that axe.

It's very ordinary, very common, just an extremely ordinary Chaos Treasure.

Yet this ordinary chaotic treasure seemed to contain an incomparably profound and mysterious artistic conception, and in an instant, it shattered the huge black lotus that completely enveloped him.

"Damn it!" Mind's pupils contracted rapidly.

He activated his protective divine power to the fullest extent, and his divine body, comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, faintly emitted a hazy black light in that instant. That was a phenomenon that only appeared when the divine power was activated to its limit.

"Die!" A voice echoed through the chaos.

Hou Yi's eyes flashed with extreme killing intent.

This axe strike was the result of his nearly ten thousand years of study, following the approach proposed by Lei Zhan, and taking the path of the unity of three forces, integrating mental power, divine power, and magical power into the axe technique.

Now, what we are using is this second move, which is only in its initial form.

Although it has many drawbacks, such as slow speed, high energy consumption, and long charging time, the power of this move is far superior to the first move he created.

boom! ! ! !

The black axe fell suddenly, seemingly without any resistance, instantly shattering the black lotus and directly striking the Mind General's body.

"Pfft!" Shen Jiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

The mind was utterly shocked. "These natives actually possess such terrifying abilities? Not only the mind-controlling technique that affected me for a moment, but also Hou Yi's axe technique that I cannot yet comprehend, which directly shattered my Black Lotus Formation..."

"Even my divine body, which is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, feels faintly trembling and crumbling."

His mind was filled with inexplicable doubts, but when he glanced around and saw the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Suirenshi and other powerful beings watching him with predatory eyes, he immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

At the very moment the black lotus shattered.

"kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"This alien race will die today!"

Too fast! Everything happened too fast.

In a fleeting instant, Buddha's palms shattered the lotus leaves, Hou Yi cleaved down with his axe, and Lei Zhan unleashed his mind-controlling power, bringing the mind back to its senses...

All of this stunned the powerful figures present for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses.

"Huh? How did it turn out like this? These natives... how did they suddenly turn the tables?" Xin Shenjiang looked at the powerful beings charging forward again, his heart filled with panic and anxiety. "Go, let's go quickly."

Don't think too much.

Mind will immediately choose to flee!

As one of the nine divine generals of the Black Lotus Empire, he was an extremely cunning person. However, he was also aware that there were two peak ancestral gods, Hou Yi and Tathagata, on the other side, and there was also a cultivator who could use bewitching techniques to affect his mental power.

Even if it only affects you for a moment, it can have a crucial impact at the most critical moment, like when Hou Yi cleaved you in two with his axe...

In that instant, his life was at stake!

However, it would be difficult for him to escape.

He had never considered escaping after he discovered that the people surrounding him were natives of the Chaos World.

But now, he really had no choice, because everyone who remained here was incredibly talented.

If this drags on, his chances of survival are slim! He can only think of escaping while there's still a chance!

"Black Lotus Protection!" With a thought, the mind focused.

“Hua La La~~~~”

Black lotus flowers encircled the area for thousands of miles, their petals swirling in the air.

Immediately afterward, the mind would order Gonggong, the Thunder God, and other powerful beings who had just narrowly escaped death, to "stop the powerful beings on the other side!"

"Whoosh!" After giving the order, the Mind Warrior immediately steered the Black Lotus, looking for an opportunity to escape quickly.

"Hoo." Hou Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, a murderous intent flashing across his pale face. "Escape? Everyone, we must not let this alien race escape!"

"Trying to escape?" Lei Zhan looked on from afar, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face. "Mind control!"

Wow~~~
A vast and powerful mental force spread out, completely enveloping the surroundings. All the powerful beings who had been ordered to stop, including Gonggong, the Thunder God, and others, including their own mental powers, were simultaneously trapped in the illusion of eternal reincarnation.

"Huh? This is..." The powerful figures who were about to pursue and kill the Three Pure Ones, Suirenshi, and others were all stunned.

If it wasn't obvious when their minds and eyes were momentarily confused, it's now very clear that a large group of powerful beings whose souls have been completely enslaved are all trapped in an illusion.

"Go! Go! Go!" With a thought, Lei Zhan sent out his main body clones from the magical treasure he carried with him, each surrounded by a black lightning bolt.

Black lightning flashed, easily dodging those powerful beings, and roared as it circled around the black lotus, chasing after the already far-off Mind Spirit.

"Seventeen clones in total?" His mind was only immersed in the illusion for a moment before he was completely awake, which made him even more regretful.

It should be noted that although he blocked Hou Yi's axe, he also paid a great price.

"I clearly sensed the danger and should have run away immediately. But... damn it!" No matter how hard he racked his brains, he never expected the final outcome to be like this.

During the last ancient war of destruction, he endured until the very end without unleashing his power because he witnessed the breakthrough of the goddess Nuwa.

And then, throughout these endless years, he remained extremely cautious in his interactions with and enslavement of the natives.

This time, however, they were originally planning to leave the Three Realms directly.

But halfway there they encountered a large group of natives who ambushed them. They thought their chance had come and they could take advantage of the situation to deal with the most powerful natives in the Three Realms.

Among the dozens of people who appeared, he encountered several extraordinary talents.

Hou Yi was a prodigy.

The Buddha is a demon.

Lei Zhan is also a prodigy.

The Buddha broke the lotus leaves surrounding Hou Yi's Black Lotus Secret Technique. If these lotus leaves were still intact, they would have added considerable obstacles to Hou Yi's progress.

At least with this buffer, his injury will be less severe.

Hou Yi decisively and ruthlessly shattered his Black Lotus Secret Technique, directly injuring his divine body.

During this process, Lei Zhan even directly used his mental power to bewitch him, and it completely affected him as a 'mental power practitioner'.

"If I were at my peak, with my abilities, I would have no fear in fighting these natives. I could have completely enslaved and slaughtered them all. But this body is one I possessed, and it doesn't have the strength the original should have. It's also too slow." The Mind General shook his head.

He couldn't fly at the speed of the Heavenly Dao, so he couldn't escape. He also couldn't easily escape by traversing time and space like Bodhi and Lei Zhan, so he had no choice but to face the battle head-on.

suddenly.

"Hmm? Not again?" Xin Shen frowned, and in an instant, he used the Black Lotus Secret Technique to protect himself. He did all this in a flash, but then his eyes fell into confusion again.

"call."

He instantly regained consciousness and felt a sense of relief, but then he fell back into the illusion.

But it is visible to the naked eye that the time spent in each illusion is getting shorter and shorter.

……

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each figure in black robes was surrounded by black electric snakes, flashing through the hazy chaos like lightning as they flew toward the Mind General surrounded by a black lotus in the distance.

"Mind Power - Bewitching!" With a thought, Lei Zhan, a clone of his true self, moved.

In an instant, the figure in the distance was clearly frozen in place. Although it was only for a moment, the distance between them was reduced by a large margin.

“The duration of the hypnosis is getting shorter and shorter…” Lei Zhan shook his head and said, “Initially, it could affect the duration for a moment, but now it’s getting shorter and shorter.”

"This mind and spirit are also at the fifth level, so my Mind Power Bewitching Technique can only last for a very short time."

"However, that's enough."

However, Lei Zhan didn't care.

In that brief instant, the seventeen avatars of the original body took turns continuously casting mind-controlling spells.

This caused him and the powerful beings following behind him, such as Hou Yi, Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, and Tathagata, to once again surround their minds.

As for those powerful beings who were enslaved, they were taken into a grotto-heaven magic treasure of the Chaos Treasure level by the powerful beings present.

"Damn it!" His mind returned to clarity, and his eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent.

He glanced at the figures around him, especially lingering for a moment on Lei Zhan, Hou Yi, and Rulai, and then he stopped running.

With these monsters around, the already slim chance of escape is now completely gone.

"Alien race, prepare to die!" Hou Yi's complexion had recovered considerably; the technique he had just used had greatly depleted his energy.

"Death? You?" Xin Shen looked directly at Hou Yi in the distance and sighed inwardly, "I have no choice but to fight. I have no way to retreat. I can only fight to the last man."

At his wit's end, his only remaining means, besides the Black Lotus Secret Technique bestowed by the Black Lotus God Emperor, was mental power.

But he wasn't that confident in his ability to manage it.

After all, there were at least two people present whose mental strength was at the fifth level!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lei Zhan's expression changed.

A voice suddenly resounded in Lei Zhan's heart.

"Junior brother, cooperate with me! You use your mind control technique to control him, and I'll just smash his turtle shell. He'll probably be badly injured, if not killed."

"Without the protection of that Black Lotus Secret Technique, and with his serious injuries... with the help of Suirenshi, Tathagata, and the Three Pure Ones, your Solar Golden Flame and Taiyin Profound Water have a real chance to obliterate and kill him."

“This…” Lei Zhan’s eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, “Okay!”

The divine body of a Mind General is so powerful that it can rival that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. At most, ordinary methods can only damage treasures of this level, which is already quite good.

To completely annihilate a divine body of this level, it is necessary to slowly grind it down and strangle it.

Generally, once the opponent's divine power is exhausted, it will be unable to maintain the protective divine power.

Leaving aside the secret discussions on Lei Zhan's side, one could see that in the chaos, a large number of powerful beings were constantly attacking the figure surrounded by black lotus flowers in the center.

His mind controlled the black lotus to continuously resist. Now that a large number of enslaved powerful beings were gone, he could no longer use their power to unleash the Black Lotus Secret Technique, which caused his divine power to be greatly depleted.

time flies.

"Die!" Hou Yi charged forward, wielding a black axe.

In front of him, the mind stood in chaos, but six palms flew out, blocking the close combat between Tathagata, Suirenshi, Fengmo, Huanmu Master and others.

"Hmph!" The Mind General dared not be careless and divided his mind to control a large number of black lotuses to block the way.

Hou Yi's gaze sharpened.

"cut!"

Boom~~

A large number of black lotuses shattered, and the mind was instantly sent flying backward. The divine body trembled violently under the combined attack of everyone.

"Mind Power - Bewitching!"

"The Wheel of Yin and Yang, Life and Death!"

With a thought, Lei Zhan unleashed two secret techniques simultaneously from the same source, their effects overlapping.

Although there was no formation to cause a dramatic change in this power, the effect was still several times stronger than a single clone casting a secret technique!
boom! ! !
The illusion is born, as if a new life begins, lasting for countless lifetimes, completely enveloping the mind and spirit before it.

Rumble~~~
The mighty water and fire descended, and at this moment, the golden flames of the sun and the mysterious water of the moon only covered a hundred miles around, but the power generated within was as if it were capable of destroying the world, and was extremely terrifying.

"No—" As if sensing danger, the mind struggled to wake up from the illusion, but all around was a world of water and fire, filled with a terrifying killing force.

Water and fire, yin and yang, time and space, life and destruction...

Numerous opposing paths collided, intertwined, and annihilated each other. Even though Lei Zhan's understanding of some of these paths was still superficial, the destructive power generated seemed capable of annihilating everything.

……

a long time.

When the last trace of divine power of the God of Heart was also directly annihilated, what followed was that last trace of true spirit.

In an instant, the moment that wisp of true spirit appeared, it was completely annihilated and shattered by the vast and mighty water and fire.

The mind will die!
