The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Which one do you fancy? Just give it to me?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, then a look of delight appeared on his face.

The treasure of the universe is powerful, but it cannot be seen or touched right now. By the time he gets his hands on it, it will probably be a long time.

The eternal divine weapon that is now within reach is a genuine treasure.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Over the past ten thousand years, he has swept through the Demon Subduing Palace and accumulated a massive amount of merit. It would be easy for him to exchange it for an eternal divine weapon.

However, in his own plan, the divine weapons of the Dao are enough for the time being, and the merits will be used first to exchange for various inheritances.

"Yes. My master left behind many treasures; an eternal divine weapon is but a drop in the ocean," the beautiful woman in white said calmly.

Back then, her master killed dozens of Eternal Emperors in the Qingyang Domain, which made countless Eternal Emperors tremble with fear.

Even in the end, the mere mention of Ruosang Daojun's name would cause him to change color.

That was a Heaven-Defying Dao Lord whom everyone wanted to avoid, and one who had failed to achieve Dao Integration despite possessing a cosmic treasure.

Furthermore, he is skilled in the art of time and space, and is adept at mental power. Whether it is his speed, his ability to escape, or his ability to survive, he is top-notch.

Even the powerful beings at the Sovereign level in the Qingyang Domain were somewhat troubled by this.

Of course, Daoist Ruosang was also quite sensible, and those he killed back then were all weaklings.

Even the weak Eternal Emperors have lived through countless Chaos Eras, and these Eternal Emperors possess a great many treasures.

Later, in order to return to his hometown and the Flame Dragon Domain, Dao Lord Ruosang paid a very high price, but the remaining treasures were beyond the reach of even some Dao Lords of Life and Death.

"Eternal Divine Weapon..."

Lei Zhan looked at the woman in white and said, "Please, senior, bestow upon me the 'Crimson Moon Wheel'."

The Crimson Moon Wheel was a top-grade eternal divine weapon that Lei Zhan had chosen long ago.

Eternal weapons are treasures containing an inherent source; each one possesses its own unique origin.

Such divine weapons are generally treasures used by Dao Lords of Life and Death. However, Lei Zhan is about to break through to become a World God, and it is actually not enough for him to use the divine weapons of the Dao.

After all, the power of a divine weapon of the Dao is only so strong.

However, Lei Zhan's own enlightenment level has reached the peak of the World Realm after comprehending the Dao of more than ten Dao Lords of Life and Death and the Dao of one Eternal Emperor.

If we were to make a comparison, it would probably be at the level of the fifth or sixth form of the "Heart Sword Technique".

Of course, the Heart Sword Technique is the ultimate skill of the Heart Sword Emperor who can combine three forces into one, and the Northern World God only obtained the first seven forms.

Lei Zhan did not follow the path of swordsmanship. Although he was taught this sword technique, he only glanced at it casually.

Compared to the swordsmanship here, Lei Zhan is more interested in the method of operating the three forces in one.

In fact, compared to the incomplete "Heart Sword Technique" in Lei Zhan's hands, before the Four Steps Dao Lord, the spacetime inheritance of Ruosang Dao Lord was still stronger and more powerful.

However, Daoist Ruosang ultimately failed to achieve Dao integration. Otherwise, if he had succeeded, he would have become a ruler, and even among rulers, he would have been an extremely powerful being.

"If I were to obtain this eternal divine weapon, after I break through to become a World God, I would be at the peak level of a World God in terms of combat power."

"There are even Blue Flower Mist and numerous inheritances, all of which fully possess the strength to kill a peak World God," Lei Zhan thought to himself.

The mist of blue and white porcelain can surpass all supernatural powers.

And the lineages of many Dao Lords of Life and Death...

After all, very few cultivators at the Ancestral God level can directly access a large number of Dao Lord inheritances or even Emperor inheritances.

What makes something truly valuable is that it is guided by a very detailed, step-by-step cultivation process.

The "Heart Sword Technique" that Lei Zhan obtained from the Northern World God was merely a fragment and could not be considered a true inheritance.

Therefore, reaching the pinnacle of world godhood is already very strong.

In the endless chaos, the most common beings are those who have reached the perfection of the World God realm.

Only by possessing an eternal divine weapon can one attain the peak strength of a world god.

Of course, there are also some prodigies who have an extremely strong understanding of the Dao and even know some heaven-defying supernatural powers and methods. Even if they only use the divine weapons of the Dao, they can have strength comparable to the peak of the world gods.

Above the pinnacle of the World God realm are those who begin to walk the path of the strongest, surpassing even the pinnacle of the World God realm.

These even more monstrous world gods mostly possess strength comparable to the Dao Lord of Life and Death!

But the strongest path... it's difficult to reach this level through mere comprehension; one must hone one's skills and venture forth.

“Unless it’s a top-grade divine weapon, it’s not very useful to me,” Lei Zhan sighed inwardly.

Take, for example, the golden spear-shaped divine weapon that Lei Zhan used in his previous battle with the Blood Demon Lord. With his understanding of the Dao, Lei Zhan was able to unleash 90% of the power of this superior-grade divine weapon.

If he were to break through to become a World God... and the power of the Azure Mist were to advance further, the divine weapons of the Dao would be almost completely insufficient.

An eternal divine weapon, especially a high-grade eternal divine weapon, possesses an extremely powerful origin.

If one were to fully activate the essence of this magical artifact, its power would be earth-shattering and perfectly meet the requirements for expansion. "The Crimson Moon Wheel?" The beautiful woman in white nodded. With a gentle wave of her hand, a crimson stream of light carrying a world-burning heatwave appeared out of thin air with a 'whoosh'.

This is a very beautiful spear. Although the spear itself is red, the shaft is wrapped in five colors: red, gold, cyan, blue, and purple.

This five-colored radiance swirled around, as if there were layers upon layers of five-colored halos, radiating waves of overwhelming energy.

The aura of this magical artifact was far stronger than any of the divine weapons in Lei Zhan's hands.

It is even hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the Dao Divine Weapon 'Black Cloud' in Lei Zhan's hands!
"Crimson Moon Wheel!" Lei Zhan's eyes lit up with envy, and he reached out and grabbed the spear in front of him.

Even before he had refined it, he could feel the source within the spear, the powerful and terrifying eternal divine weapon source that startled him.

"The treasure is in your hands, and you have also obtained all the temporal and spatial inheritance left behind by my master," the stunningly beautiful woman in white said.

"Next, we will hone our skills and grow as quickly as possible."

"Although this chaotic realm holds opportunities left by my master, it has already somewhat bound you. You need to venture into the wider chaos."

"Remember, be careful when passing through that unstable chaotic vortex passage!"

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan put away the Crimson Moon Wheel, a thought flashing through his mind. "I wonder... how did Daoist Ruosang return back then?"

"How did you get back?" The beautiful woman in white glanced at Lei Zhan. "You don't need to think about it. You can't use Master's methods. Back then, Master's soul and true spirit were severely scattered, and she didn't have much time left."

"After she returned to the Flame Dragon Domain, she directly traversed space and time, relying on me to enter another space-time dimension. After coming out, she directly entered this chaos."

"Traveling through time and space, entering another dimension?" A glint of light flickered in Lei Zhan's eyes.

This is a skill he has always wanted to learn.

"Unfortunately, my Shadow Step technique can only break through space and time at present."

As for reaching the level of traversing time and space dimensions, to comprehend the methods at this level, one would probably need to be at the third or fourth step of the Dao Lord level.

"Go! Grow up quickly, then come back and defeat the avatar left behind by my master!"

"Okay." Leizhan nodded.

The saying "Shallow waters cannot nurture dragons" has always been clear to Lei Zhan.

If it weren't for the opportunity left behind by Daoist Ruosang, he would have left the Three Realms and gone to the Great Mo Domain long ago.

Moreover, as long as Lei Zhan wants to embark on that ultimate path, opportunity, trials, and luck are all indispensable.

Lei Zhan had been in this place of the Three Realms for far too long, and even he himself had begun to yearn for the wonders within the endless chaos.

……

In the vast void beyond the Three Realms.

In this endless void, numerous stars float, with the two most dazzling supreme stars, Taiyin Star and Taiyang Star, freely releasing light and heat.

"Chi~~~"

The void cracked open, rapidly expanding from an inconspicuous mark to a length of three zhang (approximately 10 meters). The crack was very neat, as if a piece of paper had been cut, and wisps of spatial and temporal power emanated from it.

"Come out!" A voice came from the crack, soft but with a hint of barely perceptible laughter.

Wow.

From this spatial rift emerged a handsome young man dressed in a golden robe. This was none other than Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit, returning to the Three Realms from the Earth's core.

"We've arrived in the Three Realms!"

The golden-robed youth glanced at the two supreme stars in the distance. Although the sun star was filled with golden flames that could burn the void, it still gave him an incomparably warm feeling.

"Compared to the subterranean world created by Daoist Ruosang in the depths of the endless icy sea, I feel more comfortable in the Three Realms."

A faint smile appeared on Lei Zhan's face.

"I remember when I first went there, it took more than ten days of constant travel, but now that I'm back, it's like a time warp, and I'm here in the blink of an eye."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath. Although his true form had always remained in the Three Realms, the feeling of returning home was still incredibly profound.

Wow~~~
With a thought, Lei Zhan sent a figure out of his body, which then entered the suddenly appearing spacetime rift and disappeared.

The merging of the eighteen avatars of the second primordial spirit into one is the result of successfully cultivating the third level of the "Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons". This allows the eighteen avatars to gather and disperse at will. The figure that emerged is naturally the 'seed' left behind for the second primordial spirit!
"With this clone remaining in the Three Realms, I can feel more at ease when my second primordial spirit ventures out."

Looking at the spacetime rift that had been repaired and dissipated, Lei Zhan thought to himself, "I also have some treasures that I obtained. I'll set aside a small portion for myself. It will make training disciples much easier in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second primordial spirit turned around and vanished without a trace.

"Everything is arranged. Now, it's time to break through to the World Realm!"
