The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Ok?"

"This sound..."

"Has that powerful being, the Dao Lord of Life and Death, shown himself?"

"That is……"

One by one, the world gods and chaotic immortals, including the thousands of ancestral gods and immortals below, all looked at the endless sky in astonishment.

A handsome young man dressed in a black robe slowly emerged from the void.

As if taking a leisurely stroll, I passed through clusters of black lotuses frozen in place, as if those astonishingly beautiful black lotuses did not exist.

The seemingly ordinary black robe, illuminated by the light of the Mist Rock Star suspended high in the sky, revealed a faint jade-like hue.

"The Black Lotus God Emperor?" Lei Zhan looked at the Black Lotus God Emperor, who was imprisoned within the enormous nine-petaled black lotus, and said calmly:

"So you're the one who said you wanted my master and best friend to die a quick and painless death?"

"Hmm? Master? Friend?"

Many thoughts raced through the Black Lotus God Emperor's mind, filled with fear and unease. "This suddenly appearing powerful being, whose aura seems to be at the same World Realm level, is so strong. He rendered me powerless with just his understanding of the Dao and some techniques. Master... friend... could he be a powerful figure from the Misty Rock Star lineage who once wandered to other territories?"

"Die!" Lei Zhan glanced at the Black Lotus God Emperor, saw the fear in his eyes, shook his head, and struck out with a palm.

While such methods are powerful, it would be difficult for Lei Zhan, who possesses strength comparable to a second-step Dao Lord, to maintain them for an extended period.

boom! ! !
It was a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, with the palm alone measuring 100,000 feet in size. The palm lines on it were clearly visible, and the intersecting lines seemed to be carved. After this giant palm was slapped out, it directly struck the Black Lotus God Emperor in mid-air.

"Do not--"

Faced with life and death, the Black Lotus God Emperor finally had a chance to speak. His face was filled with terror, and he shouted:
"My master is the Seventh Emperor Dao Lord."

"The Seventh Emperor Dao Lord is my master."

puff!

As if smashing an egg, the enormous hand emitted a hazy light, without pausing for a moment.

With a deafening boom, it shattered the enormous nine-petaled black lotus and crashed into the Black Lotus God Emperor's body with overwhelming force.

The moment the palm struck, even the Black Lotus God Emperor's soul, true spirit, and physical body were directly shattered, leaving him utterly dead.

The once-powerful world god, the arrogant Black Lotus God Emperor, has died!
Wow~~~
The moment the Black Lotus God Emperor died, the entire Black Lotus Chaos World returned to normal.

The world returned to normal once more. The shattered ocean resumed its flow, and the countless black lotuses that once filled the sky continued to swirl, withering and vanishing in an instant without their master's control.

The Lord of Mist Rock Star, the Three Pure Ones, Bodhi, and other powerful world gods, as well as thousands of ancestral gods and immortals below, have also regained their freedom.

"Hmm? Lei Zhan!" Upon returning to normal, Sanqing immediately smiled.

The black-robed youth who suddenly appeared, like a savior, was someone they were extremely familiar with.

"This Black Lotus God Emperor was a powerful peak World God, yet he was so easily killed, as if he were crushing an insect..."

"Bodhi, you have truly taken on a fine disciple!"

"A staging? This, this is just too..."

Bodhi was dumbfounded, his astonishment no less than that of the Three Pure Ones.

It had only been a few thousand years, at most ten thousand, yet his disciple's progress was so rapid that it far exceeded his own expectations.

Especially considering the terrifying spatial and temporal confinement and suppression just now, "My disciple's aura was only at the World Realm level! But his current strength is probably comparable to those ancient Dao Lords of Life and Death!"

"This...is this Lei Zhan?" The Wind Demon, who had completely broken through, raised his head and looked at the dazzling black-robed youth in the sky, his expression full of confusion.

"This world... I've only just broken through to the World God level, yet this Lord of the Returning One Dao, Lei Zhan, can easily imprison a chaotic world and even easily kill a peak World God..."

Fengmo shook his head and sighed. The insignificant little guy in the Three Realms had long since become an existence that Fengmo looked up to with awe.

……

"What! The Black Lotus God Emperor is dead?"

The Lord of Mist Rock Star watched from afar, his eyes widening in shock. He gazed at the black-robed youth standing in mid-air, his movements utterly effortless, and the shock he felt was beyond measure.

"The Black Lotus God Emperor died instantly."

The God of the Black Mist World watched from afar, and besides being surprised, he fell into deep thought.

“This powerful being who suddenly appeared… Master, fellow Daoist… could he be a strongman from my Misty Rock Star lineage? But this young-looking cultivator… unfortunately, I don’t recognize him either.”

The black-robed youth before him felt completely unfamiliar.

The Black Mist World God was already the most well-known among the direct descendants of the entire Mist Rock Star. But the being before him was not only completely unfamiliar to him, but also skilled in the art of spacetime.

On their Mist Rock Star, the most skilled element of every star lord throughout history has been the sword!

"They survived!" Xu Youjie and Chaos Immortal finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since this suddenly appearing powerhouse had only killed the Black Lotus God Emperor, it meant that he had no ill intentions towards them.

Of course, even if this being harbors ill will towards them, it is not something that these world gods and chaos immortals can contend with.

It should be noted that even a Black Lotus God Emperor with the strength of a peak World God was enough to leave them helpless, let alone someone who could easily crush the Black Lotus God Emperor.

The Void Chaos Immortal muttered to himself, "A World Realm cultivator, and he's this strong. He's comparable to some Life and Death Dao Lords. I wonder which old monster cultivated him..."

……

Lei Zhan was completely unaware of all the speculations in the minds of those on the Misty Rock Star side of the world, or the doubts in the hearts of the Three Pure Ones, Bodhi, and others about the person Lei Zhan was so familiar with.

However, even if he didn't know, Lei Zhan could guess some of it in his mind.

"Seventh Emperor Dao Lord? Let's talk about it when he finds me!" Lei Zhan shook his head.

The Black Lotus God Emperor's master, that Seventh Emperor Dao Lord, is probably long gone, hiding in some remote corner. Even if he were to emerge now and try to hunt me down, he'd have to be able to catch me first.

Having mastered the Dominator Escape Technique, it is still the most suitable way of time and space for survival and escape. Even some fourth-step Dao Lords who are on the verge of Dao Integration have to set up many methods to seize the current situation.

Wow.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lei Zhan instantly collected all the magical treasures left behind by the Black Lotus God Emperor. Among them, the most valuable were the eternal divine weapon resembling an ice scimitar and the enormous nine-petaled black lotus.

"Now, it's your turn." After dealing with the Black Lotus God Emperor, Lei Zhan didn't rush to exchange pleasantries. He turned his head and shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on a dilapidated city in the endless distance.

"Leaving your life-saving backup plan in the Black Lotus Chaos World, I really don't know whether to praise you for being smart or stupid."

Wow~~~
Lei Zhan immediately stretched out his arm, which instantly grew by trillions of miles, directly grabbing a dilapidated city a trillion miles away.

There, the shattered earth exposed lava, and beneath the flowing lava, a mangled corpse floated. Scattered around the corpse were some magical artifacts.

A giant hand, like a dark cloud, ripped through the sky, grabbed the broken corpse and the scattered magical artifacts, and swept them away with a whoosh.

……

"That Wind Demon is really stupid! Did he think I would be foolish enough to fight him?" In a palace, an old man with black hair wearing a gray robe slowly drank fine wine, his brows full of ease.

"I clearly know what happened in the Three Realms that I didn't know about. Even the Flying Owl Chaos Immortal fell into it and suffered a great loss. How could I, the Mind General, be foolish enough to sit and wait for death?"

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to spend all the wealth I had accumulated over the Chaos Era to finally exchange for a substitute death talisman. That Wind Demon probably still thinks I've really died and disappeared."

"But who could know that this is a true case of a cunning rabbit having three burrows? I have chosen this escape route in an extremely secretive way. The cultivator who carries this magic weapon of mine is merely a celestial being. Who would pay attention to an ordinary celestial being?"

Xin Shen sipped his wine leisurely, saying, "Once the war outside ends, if the God Emperor wins, everyone will be happy. If the Mist Rock Star Lord and the Three Pure Ones win, I can slowly find an opportunity to leave."

suddenly.

Rumble~~~
The ground was shaken.

The entire enormous palace began to shake, followed by countless cracking and shattering sounds.

"What...what is going on?"

"What on earth happened? My magical artifact... is shattering!"

His mind was filled with terror. He had been discreet enough, and he had carefully chosen and executed each step.

"Who is it! Who is it?" He unconsciously crushed the wine glass in his hand, turning it into a pile of powder.

When the god looked up and peered out through the almost shattered palace walls, his expression was filled with disbelief.

……

"A little mouse hiding in a ditch, no matter how it hides, can't escape its fate in the end." Lei Zhan held a miniature cave that had shrunk many times over in his palm. His five fingers were so small that his divine body, which was almost comparable to a top-grade Dao divine weapon, could easily crush a chaotic treasure under the power of the blue-and-white mist.

"No! Impossible! Impossible!" As the magical artifact in Lei Zhan's cave shattered completely, an extremely crazy voice came from Lei Zhan's hand.

"It's you! It's you! No—"

"You actually managed to see through my methods! Damn it! Damn it!"

Suddenly, an old man with black hair wearing a gray robe appeared and was directly grabbed by Lei Zhan.

The gray-robed, black-haired old man looked at Lei Zhan with a ferocious expression and a shrill voice, as if he were a madman.

"Back then... I should have killed you before you even grew up! Damn it! I really deserve to die!"

"In just a million years, you've grown to this level! Damn it! Damn it!"

His mind was filled with madness and curses, but in the face of absolute power, all his struggles seemed utterly futile.

"Unfortunately... there are no 'what ifs'." Lei Zhan smiled immediately.

Lei Zhan was completely unfazed by Xin Shenjiang's insults. He calmly said, "Die! I will let you enjoy death properly."

"No! Don't kill me!" Xin Shenjiang cried out in alarm.

"I have already told one of my servants about the news of the Three Realms. As soon as I die, my servant, bound by a life vow, will immediately spread the news of the Three Realms. At that time, there will surely be some adventurers from the Great Mo Domain heading to the Three Realms."

"When the endless stream of adventurers from the Great Mo Domain arrives, your Three Realms will be finished."

"You're incorrigible! Crushing your Black Lotus God Emperor would be no different to me than crushing an worm, let alone your so-called backup plans!"

Lei Zhan shook his head slightly, too lazy to say anything more to this mind.

How can an ant possibly imagine the view from the mountaintop?

They are no longer on the same level.

Moreover, the Three Realms are no longer what they used to be. Even if there are a constant stream of adventurers, with his own avatar in charge, he can withstand even the Dao Lord of Life and Death.

Moreover, could a First Ancestor God possibly persuade the Lord of Life and Death?

Wow!
As soon as Lei Zhan had a thought, a spacetime barrier with a radius of about ten feet appeared and instantly enveloped his mind.

Then, Lei Zhan pointed out with one finger, aiming it at the mind from afar.

Whoosh, though his mind was uneasy, his eyes then froze, and his expression turned to extreme terror.

The One Finger Reincarnation combines the ingenious use of one's own mental power and time and space.

This method causes the mind to be forever trapped in the world of his greatest terror, waiting for the soul and true spirit to be worn away by pain before he can be freed.

Compared to this method, the so-called eighteen levels of hell in the Three Realms are tens of millions of times weaker and completely insignificant.
