The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"you again?"

The Blood Demon Lord looked at the golden-robed youth who had appeared in this world, a complex expression in his eyes.

Within this Demon-Subduing Palace, the Demon Lords who appear are not fixed, but even if these Demon Lords appear separately.

But he has appeared at least hundreds of thousands of times, if not millions.

Throughout countless years, only a handful of people have been able to achieve this level.

In fact, there is only one person like Lei Zhan who dared to venture into the Demon-Subduing Palace.

"Yes, it's me again." Lei Zhan looked at the Blood Demon Lord's somewhat helpless expression and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Over these ten thousand years, while his main body remained within the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, his second primordial spirit spent its time either comprehending the Dao or fighting in the Demon-Subduing Palace, entering the palace very frequently.

The demon lord that evolved in this Demon Subduing Palace possessed intelligence just like a real living being, and this secret was already known to Lei Zhan long ago.

The Ice Demon Lord, the Fire Demon Lord, and even the Blood Demon Lord before them...

Once their strength reaches a certain level, they will lower their minds, and during this time, they will also know the details of the battle.

Even more likely, what arrives are the incarnations of these demon lords.

"Even a First Ancestor God is so monstrous that he can easily kill World Realm cultivators, and his comprehension of the Dao is close to the peak of World Gods. I wonder why he's still staying in this Earth Core World!" The Blood Demon Lord muttered to himself. "Really, wouldn't it be better if he left sooner?"

However, the thought only flashed through the Blood Demon Lord's mind before it vanished.

In reality, their existence is like a whetstone; the more monstrous geniuses are born from their hands, the happier they are.

"Come on, this time, I won't hold back."

With a flick of his wrist, the Blood Demon Lord conjured two blood-red greatswords. The swords seemed to be made of solidified dark red blood, and the aura they emitted was comparable to that of divine weapons of the Dao.

"A sword?" Lei Zhan raised an eyebrow, flipped his hand, and a golden spear appeared in his hand. The spear spun, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Then come on! Show mercy... You don't have to be like this!"

"Die!" The Blood Demon Lord instantly transformed into a streak of crimson light, his two crimson greatswords gleaming as he slashed directly at Lei Zhan.

"Let me die? You?" Lei Zhan suddenly moved.

The spear swept in a circle, and Lei Zhan's golden spear swept across the space in front of him, directly sweeping out horizontally.

Sniff～～～
The space-time before my eyes cracked open, as if a piece of paper had been cut, leaving a neat wound.

Furthermore, this spacetime rift passes through layers of different spacetime barriers, extending all the way to the location of the Blood Demon Lord.

In the distance, in front of the Blood Demon Lord who was charging towards Lei Zhan, a neatly cut spatial rift appeared, followed by a golden spear beam sweeping out.

puff!
The spear's edge touched the Blood Demon Lord's body, and before the Blood Demon Lord could even react, his body was easily severed at the waist by the spear's edge.

"Hmm? Hiss~~~" The Blood Demon Lord was flying when his body suddenly stopped.

The long spear in the distance flickered, and his entire body instantly split in two. At the point where his body was shattered, a large amount of spacetime power was still strangling him.

His eyes still held horror as he collapsed to the side, his aura completely weakening.

He didn't even see how Lei Zhan made his move.

Lei Zhan glanced at the two halves of the body floating in the air. "This Shadow Strike is indeed worthy of being a technique I created by incorporating the skills of many powerful beings. Manipulating space and time is the most unpredictable and the most difficult to defend against!"

Lei Zhan was satisfied. He had just used his spear to manipulate time and space, performing the Instant Shadow Strike from the Five Techniques of Time and Space.

All of this left the Blood Demon Lord, who was comparable to the peak of the world's gods, completely powerless to resist.

'Fleeting Shadow' is all about 'deception'!

Before the enemy can even react, they can be easily killed by an attack that has been transported to another dimension.

If Lei Zhan were willing, at this moment, the golden spear in his hand could easily pierce through the head of the Blood Demon Lord!

"What bizarre spacetime manipulations!" The Blood Demon Lord's divine power surged, gradually suppressing the spacetime strangulation force, and the shattered body gradually returned to normal.

He had to admit that, in applying the Dao, the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Techniques were indeed two different directions.

"Again!" Lei Zhan watched as the Blood Demon Lord's aura gradually returned to its peak, and thrust out his spear fiercely!

"Hmm? Again?" The Blood Demon Lord revealed a hint of fighting spirit. Was he being used as a tool for experimentation?

However, although his avatar here only possesses the strength of the peak of the World Realm, it is not limited to that!
"Die, die, die!"

The Blood Demon Lord's eyes turned cold, and two intersecting blood-red streaks appeared in the sky. The blood-red streaks stretched for thousands of feet and slashed towards Lei Zhan with a heart-palpitating aura.

"Shatter!" With the support of the blue-and-white mist, Lei Zhan's golden spear swelled up, like a dragon soaring into the sky, and suddenly smashed down directly towards the two blood-red streaks.

boom! ! ! !

The spear descended with a devastating force, crushing everything in its path. Wherever the spear passed, time and space seemed to be shattered.

Lei Zhan unleashed his power recklessly, and in this already distorted and broken spacetime, specks of darkness suddenly appeared.

Those black dots were initially no bigger than the tip of a needle, yet they carried a chilling sense of oppression.

Like a dying ember left behind after a star orbit collapses, or a dark spot of destruction shrinking in the pupil of the universe.

Upon their appearance, they expanded rapidly at a visible speed, quickly transforming into enormous black holes.

Black holes echo each other; even the omnipresent spacetime collapses completely within these black holes, annihilating into nothingness, leaving only ultimate destruction.

"This..." The Blood Demon Lord's pupils shrank, and in just a moment, he was completely engulfed by this terrifying black hole that could destroy the world.

It was as if a massive tsunami was sweeping across the land, and he was just a small boat swaying in the tsunami.

Rumble~~~
An extreme destructive force suddenly erupted, and the Blood Demon Lord at its center, like a pile of bubbles, quickly burst. "That's it?" Lei Zhan waved his hand, and the shattered spacetime around him was smoothed out one by one.

Lei Zhan looked at the Blood Demon Lord, whose aura had completely dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Annihilation Strike represents ultimate destruction. This strike is incredibly powerful!"

Wow~~~
With the death of the Blood Demon Lord, the entire world froze in place.

At this moment, the smoothed-out spacetime, the surrounding breeze, and even the dark red water flowing like blood in this blood-red world, all froze in time.

Even Lei Zhan himself felt the silence of his soul and spirit.

In that instant, the surroundings also turned completely dark.

Lei Zhan felt this unique sensation, a feeling he had only experienced when he first entered the Demon Subduing Palace.

"The powerful being who created this inner world is indeed terrifying. My understanding of the Dao of Time and Space has now reached the peak level of a World God, but I am still unable to move in the face of this suppression of time and space."

When Lei Zhan first ventured into the Demon Subduing Palace, he was only a True God. Although his spacetime power had reached the fifth level, it was quite normal for him to be imprisoned.

But now, after comprehending a large amount of spacetime inheritance, and even comprehending the spacetime inheritance of an Eternal Emperor and a Heaven-Defying Dao Lord, he has already undergone a complete transformation.

"However, this method..."

Although Lei Zhan's own soul and true spirit fell into silence, his true self and his avatars, far away in the Three Realms, were completely unaffected.

He experienced this method of manipulating time and space, and it felt incredibly familiar.

"This is a method of spacetime confinement and suppression inherited from Daoist Ruosang! But this power can easily imprison and suppress me, so it must be at least at the level of a Daoist."

"This inner world can still wield this power... Could it be the great being who created this world?"

Lei Zhan was extremely familiar with this method; after all, millions of years of contemplation had not been wasted.

In particular, the time-space inheritance left by Daoist Ruosang contains many similarities to the Dao that Lei Zhan himself possesses.

The impact of the showdown was even greater than the time-space legacy left behind by that Eternal Emperor.

"And this method is far more profound than my reincarnation method, which uses layers of spacetime to create a cage for suppression and imprisonment. It's like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silent yet irresistible..."

This firsthand experience gave Lei Zhan a more intuitive understanding of this style.

After all, understanding a teaching and experiencing it firsthand are two completely different experiences. Only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one truly understand it.

Lei Zhan sighed inwardly, but did not resist.

Of course, he couldn't resist either, so he cherished this hard-won opportunity and carefully considered the ingenious use of this method.

……

Endless darkness, not a single ray of light in sight.

I do not know how long it has been.

Lei Zhan felt that he had finally regained his freedom, and the surrounding darkness gradually became clearer.

Lei Zhan looked around. It was a chaotic and hazy void. There were no objects in sight, only a blurry, chaotic void.

"Where am I? This time, I've been teleported directly to this unknown place?"

Lei Zhan appeared calm, but a nagging thought crept into his mind.

There are many secrets about the inner Earth, and he had long suspected them.

But during the long years that I lived in this inner world, the entire inner world operated on its own.

Aside from some kind of restrictive rule, even though the Demon Subduing Palace can exchange for all sorts of magical treasures, not a single artifact spirit or cave spirit has appeared.

Over time, the development of the pile could only be left to its own devices.

"Now that I've been brought here so suddenly, could it be that I'm about to uncover this mystery?" Lei Zhan thought to himself.

Wow~~~
Just as Lei Zhan was pondering, a slight fluctuation in spacetime suddenly appeared in this chaotic and hazy void.

Then, droplets of water appeared, emanating a chill, like frost. Gradually, these frost-covered droplets began to condense, eventually forming a frost-covered figure.

The frost receded, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white.

The woman appeared to be human, surrounded by an icy aura and intermittent spatial fluctuations, like a stunningly beautiful fairy who had descended from the moon palace to the mortal world.

"This aura... doesn't seem like that of a cultivator, it gives me the feeling..."

"It seems somewhat similar to the spirit of a magical artifact, a realm spirit... but it's also different. It's like a real living being."

Lei Zhan sensed the aura emanating from the stunningly beautiful woman, which gave him a very special feeling. This made him feel slightly tense, and his expression became even more respectful.

"Little one, we've met." The stunningly beautiful woman in white looked at Lei Zhan with a calm gaze, like the endless starry sky, her voice echoing in this void.

“Senior.” Lei Zhan immediately bowed respectfully.

Whether considering the benefits he gained in this subterranean world or the fact that the woman in white possessed strength that rendered him powerless to resist, she deserved his utmost respect.

“You are the third person to arrive here. However, you are the one I am most satisfied with,” the stunningly beautiful woman in white said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhan secretly pondered to himself.

"The third one? There are two others who can reach my level?"

"However, the one who satisfied this senior the most... it seems that the performance of the previous two was not as good as mine."
