The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

In the endless void, two figures stood: one in a golden robe and the other in a golden-red feathered robe.

In the far distance, one can see enormous fiery stars, like 'reefs', separated by great distances.

Wow~~~
Lei Zhan suddenly changed his form, traversing time and space to arrive tens of millions of feet away.

What was originally just a young human transformed in an instant into a magnificent golden divine bird.

This is a three-legged divine bird with brilliant golden feathers. Each feather is like a burning flame, shimmering with dazzling light, as if it were formed from pure golden flames of the sun.

Its body is tens of millions of feet in size, enormous, and when its wings are spread out, they cover hundreds of millions of feet of space. Every feather seems to contain endless energy, and a gentle flap can stir up a monstrous heat wave.

The three legs were thick and powerful, as if cast in gold, and the tips of the claws gleamed with a cold light, like the hardest magic weapon, capable of easily tearing through space.

This is the true form of Lei Zhan's second primordial spirit.

An unprecedented three-legged golden crow that has broken through to the level of a world god!
"This……"

The Azure Flame World God was stunned, staring at Lei Zhan as he revealed his true form, secretly astonished, "You, you still say you're not a Chaos Divine Beast? This appearance is even more like a Chaos Divine Beast than when I transform into my original form!"

"Hahaha!" Lei Zhan laughed as the voice of the Azure Fire World God echoed in his ears.

However, as one of the top divine beasts in the Three Realms, the Three-Legged Golden Crow is naturally magnificent in appearance.

"Since your true form is a divine bird, let's first observe your speed," said the God of the Azure Flame World.

"Speed?" Lei Zhan's heart skipped a beat.

call.

A majestic, enormous three-legged golden divine bird, its wings covering the sky, flapped gently and instantly transformed into a golden streak of light.

Around him, space shattered, time warped, and endless, unseen spatial and temporal forces swirled around the three-legged divine bird.

Swish~~~
Almost in the blink of an eye, the three-legged golden crow that Lei Zhan had transformed into appeared in the endless void hundreds of millions of miles away.

"This speed..." The Azure Flame World God's pupils contracted. "This speed has already reached three times the limit of the Heavenly Dao? If just now, this Unity World God had revealed his true form to fight me..."

He was genuinely shocked. The allies they'd joined forces with this time were actually this powerful?
Even if they are not from the Chaos Divine Beast race, they are actually not much different from the real Chaos Divine Beasts!

"However..." The Azure Flame World God gazed into the distance, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, "Although Fellow Daoist Gui is powerful, his physique is indeed somewhat inferior to mine. Moreover, it seems that he also used that explosive divine power when he was flying?"

"Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would be roughly comparable to a half-step Dao Lord."

The Azure Flame World God had a keen eye, and as a member of the Chaos Divine Beast race, he was quite knowledgeable about his own situation.

A comparison of the two makes it easy to see some problems.

……

"That's exhilarating! That's so exhilarating!"

In the endless void, after Lei Zhan transformed into his three-legged golden crow form, he flew with great ease.

With a thought flashing through his mind, he only needed to flap his wings slightly, and with the support of the blue-and-white mist, he could easily break through his own limits, and even directly reach three times the speed of the Heavenly Dao limit.

Three times the Heavenly Dao Limit is a speed that only Dao Lords of Life and Death can unleash!

"I manifested my true form and flew at a speed almost comparable to that of a typical second-step Dao Lord," Lei Zhan thought to himself with admiration.

It should be known that a Dao Lord at the first step can generally reach twice the speed of light, a Dao Lord at the second step can generally reach three times the speed of light, a Dao Lord at the third step can generally reach four times the speed of light, and a Dao Lord at the fourth step can generally reach five times the speed of light.

Of course, this only applies to the more common Dao Lords of Life and Death. Those skilled in escape techniques or possessing magical treasures for escaping are different.

However, in the endless chaos, these escape techniques and magical artifacts that can break through one's own limits and greatly increase speed are extremely rare.

"It's a pity that if I could comprehend the strongest Dao, my understanding of the Dao alone would be comparable to some second-step Dao Lords. In this Blazing Sun Northern Region, where danger and opportunity coexist, I would be much safer."

Lei Zhan thought to himself, but the thought only flashed through his mind.

It has only been a few thousand years since I broke through to become a world god, and I have been cultivating while traveling through spatial channels.

If he were truly like the God of the Azure Flame World, wandering in this Blazing Sun Domain for hundreds of chaotic eras, he would probably have reached the edge of the Dao Integration stage long ago.

brush.

With a flicker of its form, the three-legged golden crow vanished into the endless void, only to reappear billions of miles away.

……

"Well? Did you see anything?" Lei Zhan transformed back into his original form and appeared before the God of the Azure Flame World, speaking with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The endless chaos holds all sorts of wonders, and if there were an opportunity to make his three-legged golden crow body even stronger, that would naturally be the best.

Just like before, it transformed its own bloodline from that of a Golden Crow Divine Beast containing the pure bloodline of the Golden Crow into the purest three-legged Golden Crow.

However, to date, there hasn't been a single three-legged golden crow in the Three Realms that has broken through to become an Ancestral God. Naturally, there can't be a three-legged golden crow that has broken through to the level of the Dao Lord of Life and Death, to be used by Lei Zhan to enhance his bloodline.

"Very strong. Combined with your explosive divine power, you can instantly unleash speed comparable to a second-step Dao Lord. This is not much different from a true Chaos Divine Beast that excels in speed, and it is even slightly stronger than some ordinary Chaos Divine Beasts."

The God of the Azure Flame World sighed, "Although the Northern Region of Blazing Sun is vast, I have not seen many as monstrous as you in the hundreds of chaotic eras."

“You know I don’t want to hear this,” Lei Zhan shook his head. “I wonder if your Chaos Divine Beast clan has a way to transform their bloodline? I feel that there is still room for improvement in your bloodline…”

Considering the transformation of his own bloodline, the reasons that could make him feel excited after arriving in this territory were only a few, and now that he thinks about it, they are not too hard to guess.

"Of course, it would be best if it could be improved. If the cost is too high, then forget it."

Lei Zhan looked at the Azure Flame World God in front of him, whose expression had changed slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

"Transformation..." The Azure Flame World God collected his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "The most common transformation is nothing more than 'eating,' absorbing the blood of one's own kind, causing a qualitative change from a quantitative one. Of course, this 'quantity' will be enormous."

"But Chaos Divine Beasts are extremely rare compared to cultivators. The conditions for their birth are also very demanding. Almost every place can only produce one Chaos Divine Beast, so it's a complete pipe dream to try and improve one's bloodline."

"The entire Chaos Divine Beast race is just like the evolved beasts in the mortal world. Each species is different, and it is very rare for two Chaos Divine Beasts to belong to the same category, so it is very difficult to improve."

"Hmm." Lei Zhan immediately understood.

Just like the Eternal Race created by the Bolin Supremes in the Flame Dragon Realm.

Their process of enhancing their bloodline is brutal: they constantly 'eat,' feeding on the flesh and blood of living beings. The more powerful the cultivator, the stronger their bloodline and the greater their strength will be after being devoured.

"And getting close to me causes your blood to throb..." The Azure Flame World God's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Of course, no one would be in a good mood if they encountered this situation.

"It's very likely that because my original form is somewhat similar to yours, and we are both skilled with fire, and are also similar to birds... that's why you developed some instincts for bloodline transformation."

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded and didn't bring it up again.

Leaving aside whether he has a chance to kill the Azure Flame World God and absorb his bloodline origin, even if he does, it would probably be difficult for him to reach the bloodline level of the Azure Flame World God himself.

If his bloodline could reach this level, it would be comparable to cultivating the "Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture." The effect of the thousand bodies becoming one, combined with the blue-and-white mist, would make his divine body alone comparable to those strong second-step Dao Lords. But achieving this level is extremely difficult.

After all, only those monstrous world gods who comprehend and integrate the strongest Dao can reach this level through their understanding of the Dao, their various foundations, and their heaven-defying supernatural powers.

"The matter of bloodlines is time-consuming, laborious, and too costly. It can only be considered as icing on the cake."

Lei Zhan shook his head inwardly, "It would be better to focus on enlightenment. If I can comprehend one or two of the strongest paths from the Five Styles of Time and Space, I can achieve the same effect."

……

Whoosh~~~
A black flying boat traversed the void and suddenly appeared above a huge fiery star.

On the black flying boat, two figures sat facing each other. A young man in a golden robe was leisurely drinking wine from a wine jug.

The other one was dressed in a gold and red feather robe, gazing aloofly into the distance.

These two were Lei Zhan and Qinghuo World God, who had left from the void of Lieyang Star.

"We've arrived at Morning Mercury."

Lei Zhan put down the wine pot and laughed, "According to the information you gave me, there should be a spacetime teleportation array left by a Dao Lord of Life and Death here, which will save us a lot of trouble."

"We have indeed arrived at Morning Mercury."

The God of the Azure Flame World nodded, "As expected of someone skilled in the art of time travel, your speed is much faster than mine! If I were to travel by myself, I would probably only have covered half the distance in the same amount of time."

When Lei Zhan suggested taking the Blue Flame World God with him on the journey, the other party naturally agreed.

It should be noted that the Northern Region of Blazing Sun is extremely vast. From the edge where they are located to the site of the ruins they need to reach, there is an area the size of two Great Mo Regions, and in between there are many empty voids, making it extremely far.

If relying solely on flight, it would probably take billions of years to arrive.

When it comes to traveling, few can rival the power of time and space. So Lei Zhan took out the Space-Time Boundary-Breaking Ship and, following the guidance, quickly began to advance through this territory.

Each time he traversed space, he could travel over extremely long distances using methods that spanned the spacetime plane. Without special strange or dangerous places to block his way, he could probably traverse the entire Great Mo Domain in a hundred traversals.

Of course, this only applies to the normal endless territory. What Lei Zhan sees, this Blazing Sun Northern Region, is outside the normal range.

Along the way, you will see many extremely harsh environments, making time travel impossible.

In some areas, they have to take a detour if they want to pass through, which can take a long time and a lot of trouble.

“However…” The God of the Azure Flame World’s expression turned serious, revealing a hint of solemnity.

"Even though we've arrived at Morning Mercury, we still need to be extra careful."
