The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Phew~~~
Lei Zhan descended from the void outside and stepped directly into the endless flames. The endless flames, comparable to the level of ancestral fire, together formed a vast ocean of flames.

The strange cities and fiery creatures that are visible to the naked eye are like reefs and fish in this vast ocean.

"This place is truly special." Lei Zhan put away the flying trench wooden boat and looked around.

The endless chaos can always give rise to all sorts of wonderful and spectacular special scenes.

But the enormous, fiery star resembling the sun before him filled Lei Zhan with awe.

Wow wow wow～～～～

The endless sea surged and crashed against the majestic cities in the distance.

A large number of humanoid flame beings were moving in and out. The flames that even ancestral gods and immortals would not want to touch made these strange beings, most of whom only had the cultivation level of celestial gods, move in and out as if they were fish in water.

……

In a sea of ​​blazing fire.

A full twelve fiery beasts resembling seahorses pulled a magnificent carriage at high speed, with hundreds of strange fiery creatures following around them.

They were incredibly fast, and each of them, including the eight fire beasts, exuded a powerful aura.

Inside the carriage, two flame beings sat facing each other.

Of the two fire beings, one was somewhat immature in speech and behavior, while the other was clearly older and quite experienced.

"Father, you are already one of the top lord-level experts on our Blazing Sun Star," the slightly immature flame life form asked curiously.

“A million years ago, you sparred with Lord Tianyu, and you emerged victorious! Why…”

"Why should I make you become a disciple of Lord Tianyu?" The voice of the obviously older flame being seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

"Yes." The young flame life nodded repeatedly, "The servants in the territory also say in private that Father has a great grudge against Lord Tianyu..."

"A deep-seated grudge?" The older flame being laughed. "When Tianyu and I were young, we were both rising stars on the planet Lieyang. Back then, we even ventured into the depths of Lieyang together."

"Unfortunately, that happened several eons ago."

The elderly flame-like being's gaze drifted, as if reminiscing about the splendor of bygone years.

"Several epochs ago?" the young flame life form mused.

The many creatures within the territory held their father in high esteem, even to the point of revering him as a god. And indeed, their father's strength was among the best on the entire Lieyang Star.

But when it rose to prominence... it seems to have been several chaotic eras ago?

"In short, although Tianyu's strength is not as good as mine, he is only slightly weaker. But I have to admit that his understanding of the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Sword is much better than mine."

"Huh? Swordsmanship?" The young flame life was taken aback.

"What? Hesitating?"

The fiery being smiled at its offspring, "Didn't you clamor to practice swordsmanship earlier? I don't know about others, but Tianyu's swordsmanship is definitely among the top three on the entire Lieyang Star!"

call!
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air inside the carriage; it was Lei Zhan, dressed in a golden robe, who had come to investigate the situation.

Although Lei Zhan appeared suddenly, even when he was only inches away from the two fire spirits, the two fire spirits were completely unaware that there was already an extra person in the carriage.

"A lord? This one should also be a lord. That Lord Tianyu... should be on the same level as this being that exudes the aura of an Ancestral God. He once ventured deep into the depths of Lieyang Star... It seems that this is the one I'm looking for."

Lei Zhan observed the two fire creatures conversing.

One possessed the strength of an ancestral god, while the other was barely comparable to a true god.

It looked much like the other fire-based creatures outside. Its entire body was enveloped in blazing red flames, as if it were formed from fire itself.

Even the hair and facial features of the flames and stars can be clearly seen.

"This ancestral god's aura fluctuations are probably the strongest among those emanating from within billions of miles," Lei Zhan murmured softly.

"And having just come from that strange city, they should know more than those fire beings at the true god level."

After entering this endless sea of ​​fire, in order to investigate the secrets, Lei Zhan observed for a while before taking action.

Of course, Lei Zhan was also very careful. As long as he wanted, these fire creatures, whose strength was only at the level of an ancestral god, would have no chance to escape his methods.

Just as the two fire-elemental beings present were unable to detect his presence upon entering the carriage.

In a very short time, Lei Zhan also secretly captured one or two ancestral gods and several true gods to confirm and search for information, but in the end, he obtained very little valuable information.

"We should still use mental methods!" Lei Zhan muttered, and as he watched the two discussing a fire creature called Lord Tianyu, a thought struck him.

"Wow~~~"

The somewhat immature flame life form silently fell into a coma.

"Hmm?" The older fire spirit's expression changed instantly. He turned to look at the opposite side, and in that instant, a figure appeared right in front of him. It was a different race, clearly of a different kind, standing there.

Although the aura emanating from that alien was extremely ordinary, it instantly put him on alert.

He was virtually invincible in strength across the entire Lieyang Star; there were very few who could rival him.

They could appear before him silently, and with a single glance, render his Heavenly-level offspring unconscious...

"Senior." The fiery life form took a breath and respectfully said, "Chiyan greets Senior."

"Don't be nervous." Lei Zhan looked at the flame life form whose aura was clearly boiling over. "I'll just ask you a few questions and then I'll leave."

"A few questions?" the flame creature asked cautiously. "Please ask, senior!" "Tell me about this Blazing Sun Star first, and then introduce yourself." Lei Zhan looked at the unusually respectful flame creature and smiled.

That smile seemed to possess a captivating magic, irresistibly drawing people in and even inspiring a willingness to submit.

"The Star of Blazing Sun is said to be a great miracle created by the Creator God of Azure Flame. There are nearly two hundred Lord-level powerhouses and more than one million Earth-level and Heaven-level beings on the entire Star of Blazing Sun. Even we Lord-level powerhouses believe in the Creator God of Azure Flame."

The fiery being named 'Red Rock' involuntarily spoke up: "My name is 'Red Rock,' and I am a lord-level expert from the Red Rock Domain of the Blazing Sun Star. I am going out this time to have my youngest offspring become a disciple of my friend, Lord Tianyu, to learn swordsmanship."

"Hmm?" Lord Crimson Rock's expression changed drastically after he finished speaking, and a trace of fear could even be clearly seen.

This method made it impossible for him to control himself, and he revealed all his innermost thoughts without reservation.
"The Azure Flame Creator God?" Lei Zhan asked. "Is this Azure Flame Creator God a World God or a Lord of Life and Death? Has he ever appeared before?"

Lei Zhan had a vague feeling that he had finally touched the key. The fire creatures he had encountered before had also mentioned 'Blazing Sun Star' and 'Creator God'.

But once they inquired about the legendary god, they stopped there, and even Lei Zhan didn't know the name of that creator god.

"I'm afraid this fiery creature called Crimson Rock must have had contact with this so-called creator god before," Lei Zhan mused to himself.

"Yes, they mentioned in their previous conversation that Chiyan had gone to explore the depths of Lieyang Star with Tianyu several chaotic eras ago."

"World God? Lord of Life and Death?" Lord Crimson Rock looked puzzled, but still involuntarily revealed the information he had been keeping hidden in his heart.

"The Azure Flame Creator God is a terrifyingly powerful being who surpasses the Lord level. I also saw the sleeping Azure Flame Creator God in the core of the Blazing Sun Star several chaotic eras ago."

"The core of the Sun Star?" Lei Zhan frowned.

Before he came in, he briefly used his mental energy to investigate once. When he was investigating the core area of ​​Lieyang Star, his mental energy investigation was hindered, and it is very likely that he had already alerted the 'Azure Flame Creator God'.

"This..." After answering, Lord Crimson Rock's face turned even paler, his eyes filled with an unquenchable terror.

This was his deepest secret! In fact, it was only through a stroke of luck, along with Lord Tianyu, at the core that he was able to rise to become a lord-level powerhouse...

“The Azure Flame Creator God.” Lei Zhan frowned deeply. “It is highly likely that my every move lately has been under the watchful eye of that Azure Flame Creator God.”

"I can't stay here any longer. Even the one who came here is merely an avatar of mine. As for the secret that's causing my body to tremble..."

It's better to be conservative and cautious with the team's development.

This unknown land, the very first star he encountered, might harbor a powerful being; it was not a place he could afford to be careless about.

After all, it's not so bad if it's just the World Realm. Even if he encounters those who might reach the strongest path and surpass the peak, Lei Zhan can't beat them, but with the life-saving ability of the Time and Space Path, it's not difficult for him to leave.

But if the one here is an even more powerful Dao Lord of Life and Death... then the danger is not small.

It sounds slow, but it all happens in an instant.

at this time.

"Wow~~~"

A terrifying wave descended, completely enveloping the entire star.

In an instant, a light shield resembling ripples on clear water appeared out of thin air, and the enormous light shield directly enveloped the entire Lieyang Star.

Heaven and earth, the endless void, are all sealed off.

At that moment, time and space seemed to freeze completely.

Rumble~~~
As the endless flames of the entire Sun Star boiled over, a colossal fire python, hundreds of millions of feet long, roared into the sky, licking the surrounding void for tens of millions of miles.

As if the heavens were being scorched and the seas boiled, under this terrifying flame, the endless void was visibly shattered and twisted by the fire python, which was hundreds of millions of feet long.

"Has it shown itself?" Lei Zhan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly at this moment.

He sensed the flames around him that seemed to burn everything to ashes, and the sealing array that seemed to seal off all time and space, yet his figure vanished completely from this space without a ripple.

……

Deep within the core of the Sun Star.

The enormous head protruding from the golden-red magma had its bright golden eyes wide open, and there was a hint of solemnity in them.

"Hmm? Ran away? My sealing formation is nearly invincible below the Dao Lord of Life and Death. Even those Dao Lords of Life and Death, if they are not proficient in the Dao of Space and Time, would have to obediently be left behind by me. This cultivator..."

Rumble~~~
This enormous head, protruding from the magma, continued to rise, and the head alone was over ten thousand feet tall.

His enormous body slowly emerged from the depths of the lava, stopping only after most of it was exposed.

His body was like a golden-red flame, radiating endless heat.

His size was so enormous that once he stood up, the entire core area of ​​the star became crowded.

Around him, large amounts of golden-red magma flowed down from his body, revealing patches of golden-red fire feathers formed from condensed flames.

Terrifying flames surrounded him, and an overwhelming aura emanated from him.

This is a winged, fiery beast bathed in lava.

It was entirely golden-red, with a pair of huge wings, and its body was somewhat similar to that of a peacock, covered in golden-red feathers.

"Just now, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in space and time."

The fiery beast's voice was deep, "This cultivator... is skilled in space-time?"
