The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Huh? What's going on?"

Inside the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, Lei Zhan, who had successfully broken through to the World Realm and was absorbing the power of chaos to cultivate the divine power "Golden Statue," suddenly opened his eyes.

"After the second primordial spirit was swept away by the spatial rift, it suddenly lost its senses..." Lei Zhan frowned.

This time, he was indeed caught off guard.

Lei Zhan was well aware that the chaotic vortex passage outside the Three Realms was extremely dangerous, and he even knew that even the Dao Lord of Life and Death could not guarantee that he could pass through safely.

But now, the second primordial spirit, which was controlling the Cosmic Light Boundary-Breaking Ship and was caught in the spatial rift, has directly lost its ability to perceive the outside world.

This feeling is no different from that of a lamb being led to the slaughter.

"I hope everything goes well," Lei Zhan said softly, his heart relatively calm.

Before leaving, the second primordial spirit deliberately left behind a seed of an avatar in the Three Realms.

Lei Zhan can still use the second primordial spirit clone he left behind to check the current state of the second primordial spirit by cultivating the "Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons".

Although the perception of the second primordial spirit has been temporarily lost, as long as a new clone cannot be cultivated, it means that the second primordial spirit is still alive.

Lei Zhan spared a sliver of attention to observe, then closed his eyes again.

The main body and the second primordial spirit are not much different in strength. Now that the second primordial spirit is in deep trouble, it is difficult for the main body to play any role.

……

Ten days later.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan's true form suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light appearing in them. "I actually managed to enter a void passage leading to an unknown place?"

"It's fortunate that there's no immediate danger. It's a pity..."

Lei Zhan sensed the connection between himself and his second primordial spirit, a connection that had begun to blur due to the immense distance between them.

"Having just left the Three Realms, I was forced to begin a life of wandering..."

Lei Zhan shook his head helplessly, "I hope everything goes smoothly. Otherwise, I will lose several Dao Divine Weapons and a precious Eternal Divine Weapon."

When the second primordial spirit ventured out, it carried many treasures with it. If it were to die at the end of that passage, the loss to Lei Zhan would be immense.

After all, just that top-grade eternal divine weapon alone would require at least hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of chaotic spiritual liquid to acquire again.

"Unfortunately, the matter of the Mind General and the Flying Owl Chaos Immortal will have to wait a while longer." Lei Zhan looked up at the void, his gaze distant.

What was originally intended to be a permanent solution has been forced to be temporarily halted due to this unexpected setback.

Although they can still send out one of their own clones, even the powerful second primordial spirit almost perished.

Before everything settles down, Lei Zhan naturally doesn't want to take any risks.

"Just wait."

The sound echoed in the space, and then gradually faded into silence.

……

It was still endless darkness, still that void passage that seemed to stretch on forever.

If one lacks mental strength and awareness, one can only rely on visual observation while standing in this passage.

"Although this passage doesn't seem to have an end yet, it looks much more stable than the chaotic vortex passage in the Three Realms."

Lei Zhan looked into the distance. With his cultivation level at the level of a World God or a Chaos Immortal, he could see very far even with the naked eye.

Back when Lei Zhan was only at the level of a Celestial God or True God, he could see a mosquito a million miles away using the "Eye of the Candle Dragon." Now that he has broken through to the World Realm level, he can observe everything within a range of hundreds of millions of miles with his naked eye, down to the smallest detail.

"It's safe here for now, but we still have to leave."

"Unfortunately, I don't know how long it will take to fly to the end of this passage."

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged inside the Space-Breaking Ship, sensing the surrounding emptiness and darkness. He then closed his eyes and silently comprehended the Dao of Space-Time.

……

The black airship continued to move forward in this void passage, flying again and again, shuttling along the passage each time.

ten years.

century.

Millennia.

Time passes gradually.

Silence reigned on the airship. Apart from diverting a sliver of his attention to control the airship, Lei Zhan remained calm.

at last.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan seemed to sense something, his eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly opened them.

"Coming?"

"After flying for more than 2,800 years, I have become increasingly distant from the Three Realms."

"Now it seems we're approaching the end of this void passage?"

Lei Zhan stared outwards, where, at the far end, a faint, colorful light shone within the void passage.

That was the void vortex becoming distorted, the vortex passage leading to an unknown place that might lead there.

"This is making me a little nervous!"

Lei Zhan stared intently outside, carefully taking out a crimson spear that resembled a moon.

The unknown is the most frightening thing.

Lei Zhan had been flying through this void passage for a full thousand years, and was still flying, seemingly without end. As the final 'mystery' was about to be revealed, his heart naturally stirred.

Wow~~~
As the black airship drew closer, Lei Zhan gathered more and more information, and his vision became increasingly clear.

This void passage is indeed nearing its end.

At the far end of the void passage, the colors sometimes turned fiery red, like a passage of flames; sometimes they turned aquamarine, like a passage of seawater…

……

"Hua Hua Hua~~"

Countless flames were flying.

The distant, blazing star resembled a giant fireball, rumbling loudly.

The surface burst open repeatedly, ejecting countless meteorites.

"call."

A distorted void vortex appeared out of thin air, and a black flying boat was 'spit out' from the vortex.

"Hmm? Where is this?" Lei Zhan carefully looked around as he maneuvered the Space-Breaking Ship.

The surroundings were still a void, but this void was filled with scorching power.

In the distance, one can vaguely see a huge, chaotic star that looks like a giant fireball.

Because of the close proximity, the surrounding area was still bright. Having detected no immediate danger, Lei Zhan was able to temporarily relax his tense nerves.

"There's really no way to go back."

Lei Zhan turned his head to look behind him at the place where the Cosmic Light Breaker Ship that he was controlling had been 'spit out'.

Now, this void has long since returned to calm, and even the distorted void vortex that had appeared before it has completely closed up.

Everything disappeared without a trace.

Back in the void passage, after Lei Zhan saw the distorted, colorful light in the far distance, he flew for nearly ten years before finally reaching the end.

Following that twisted vortex of power, they finally broke free from the entire void passage.

"Hmm? This place..."

Lei Zhan stood inside the black airship, his eyes closed as he carefully sensed the surroundings. "This place is very different. It seems... the many fundamental principles I can perceive here have become extremely clear?"

Like the Flame Dragon Domain, this place also possesses numerous origins, such as the origin of time and space, the origin of fire, the origin of water, the origin of lightning, and the origin of cause and effect.

And these outermost origins, which were previously somewhat vague to cultivators, are now very clear in the expanded perception!
"The origin is no different from what I comprehended in the Three Realms, but it has become much clearer. Could it be that I am closer to the origin of the universe here?" Lei Zhan had a vague guess in his heart.

The Three Realms, as well as the Great Mo Domain beyond the Three Realms and even the entire Flame Dragon Domain, are actually very remote places, far from the various origins of the universe.

Compared to the Flame Dragon Domain, the perception of the origin of the other universe is much clearer.

After all, the birth of each alien universe is created by a supreme being who infuses their own Dao, and its origin lies in the core of the alien universe.

The other territories, however, have no origin of their own.

The beings within each of these realms are also at the outermost edge of comprehending the origin of the entire universe.

"However, everything here has absolutely nothing in common with the star maps I have." Lei Zhan glanced at the star maps in his hand, somewhat helplessly.

Of course, he didn't expect to ever use these star charts.

You should know that he only has two star maps in his possession. One is a detailed star map of the Eternal World of Tiancang left by the World God of Beixiu, as well as the surrounding area.

One is a detailed star map of the Great Mo Domain obtained from the Nuwa Wonderland.

But now, Lei Zhan knows without a doubt that there is a nearly 100% chance that he is not in the Flame Dragon Domain.

Even the original body, which is still present in the Three Realms, has become extremely blurry, hazy, and unreal.
The fact that distance alone can make the connection between the second primordial spirit and the original body extremely blurred is already quite telling.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it and figure out where we are first," Lei Zhan muttered. "It would be best if we could find out where we were transported to by that spatial rift later."

……

call out! ! !
A black flying boat, only a few feet in diameter, shuttled through the chaotic void, constantly flying.

"Those fiery stars look close, but in reality, they're quite far away to get to."

Lei Zhan stood inside the airship, looking at the enormous star that seemed like a fireball, growing ever more majestic in his line of sight, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

This territory is far too vast and expansive.

Under Lei Zhan's control, the Cosmic Light Boundary-Breaking Ship, accelerated by the Path of Time and Space, could barely rival three times the speed of light, but it still felt like trying to run a mountain at a speed that would eventually kill a horse.

When Lei Zhan first arrived in this special territory, he was somewhat aimless and flew towards the nearest of the countless giant stars he saw.

Even traveling at full speed, it took nearly ten months to slowly approach this giant star.

"It's huge. This one star is comparable to several of the Three Realms combined." Lei Zhan observed it with his naked eye, but out of caution, he did not use his divine sense or mental power to investigate.

It was an unfamiliar place, and very unusual.

If there are indeed powerful cultivators here, it would be easier to alert them and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Just as Lei Zhan was observing this enormous star from the Space-Breaking Ship, he seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

"My body..."
