The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Rumble~~~
In an instant, the immense mental and spiritual power he displayed shattered this illusory world, causing it to dissipate completely.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan looked around as the spacetime barriers shattered layer by layer, and all he could see were golden-armored generals closing in, with no end in sight.

There are simply too many golden-armored generals. Although one or two golden-armored generals are of average strength, they are only at the level of ordinary world gods.

Even with thousands upon thousands of golden-armored generals charging forward relentlessly, they were still able to shatter the sprawling spacetime barrier.

"Die!" Lei Zhan swung his black spear, which instantly grew to ten thousand feet in length. A howling wind suddenly arose throughout the entire Wanli Corridor, distorting space and time. Its power was astonishing.

puff!puff!puff!
Their bodies shattered, and one by one, the golden-armored generals died and vanished.

With the strength of a Dao Lord of Life and Death, Lei Zhan fought swiftly. With a sweep of his spear, a large group of golden-armored generals around him vanished instantly.

A large vacuum area was instantly created in the entire long corridor.

"go!"

call out!
With a thought, Lei Zhan transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the distant horizon.

……

"The power of this Dao of Spacetime... truly befits a World God who has walked the strongest path. Even back then, when Da Mo, that guy entered the Divine Palace at the World God level, his strength was not as strong as this Guiyi World God."

In the square in front of the Divine Palace, wisps of light flew out and gathered beside the three-eyed bald man, coalescing into a barefoot girl dressed in a thin veil.

The girl had bright emerald green hair, and although she wore a thin veil, she was almost naked.

"That guy Da Mo is good at the way of deduction, and the way of deduction is not good at combat, so it is naturally not as powerful as the way of time and space."

The three-eyed bald man glanced at the Divine Palace Array Spirit that had suddenly appeared in the square and shook his head, saying, "This World God of the Returning to One is powerful. Besides his strong understanding of the Dao, the inheritance he has learned must also be extraordinary."

“Indeed, back in Wanshan, he could unleash strength comparable to a First-Step Dao Lord simply by relying on his physical body. And then there was the time-space secret technique he used in the Chongyuan Hall…” The barefoot girl nodded, then said nonchalantly:
"Who cares? As long as they're not from the Eternal Clan, no matter which old guy they're under, as long as they have a powerful backer... But cultivators from other forces are naturally opposed to the Eternal Clan."

"In the future, when the gods of this unified world are powerful enough, one day we will also have the opportunity to make amends for our master's regrets."

"Hmm." The three-eyed bald man with the basket had a distant look in his eyes, but there was also a longing in his heart.

The magical artifact has a very special feeling for its first master, like that of parents who gave birth to and raised it.

Although the three-eyed bald man was a puppet, he was naturally close to the God of Gods when he was created by him, and regarded the God of Gods as his father.

Even though the Lord of Ten Thousand Gods has been dead and gone for countless years, and even though he is just a puppet, the resentment and last wishes he left behind have long become the obsession of these beings in the Myriad Gods Palace.

Slay Emperor Meloppo, slay this emperor of the Eternal Clan!

Therefore, as long as the Divine Palace exists, they will continue to walk in this way, hoping for the last glimmer of hope to appear.

Time passed by minute by minute.

A divine spirit and a puppet comparable to a fourth-step Dao Lord on the verge of Dao Integration remained silent.

Silently watching the endless corridor in the distance, the wanton slaughter, the rampage like a demon god.

Only strange fluctuations that suddenly appear at some unknown time can make Lei Zhan stop in his tracks.

However, the illusions generated within the Myriad Gods Illusionary Heart Realm also have an upper limit. The stronger the cultivator's Dao heart and the more resolute their soul and will, the worse the effect of the illusions.

It was visible to the naked eye that the time that Lei Zhan spent trapped in the illusion was getting shorter and shorter, and the time that he was stuck was also getting shorter and shorter.

suddenly.

"The God of the Unified World is about to emerge," the barefoot girl suddenly said.

The three-eyed, bald man looked towards the end of the long corridor and nodded in agreement.

Within the long corridor, there were countless golden-armored generals, but they were as numerous as weeds.

With a gentle sweep of the ten-thousand-foot-long black spear, a vast area was wiped out; the appearance of the enormous black hole, filled with an aura of annihilation, instantly annihilated a large number of them.

"These final guardians are not like those golden-armored divine generals. When their strength is unleashed, they can rival some second-step Dao Lords," the three-eyed bald man laughed. "Even if the gods of this Unity World were to emerge, they would still have to go through a great battle."

"A great battle?" The barefoot girl's eyes gleamed. "In just over an hour, the God of the Unity World has already reached its end. This final guardian... even if a great battle breaks out, it will probably end soon."

"Hmm." The three-eyed bald man glanced into the distance and nodded in agreement, saying, "The final gatekeeper is indeed no match for him; the difference in strength is too great!"

……

At the end of the long corridor.

Lei Zhan crushed and slaughtered his way through without much effort.

Whoosh!

The moment Lei Zhan appeared at the end of the corridor, the young man who looked like an emperor, dressed in a golden robe and sitting on a throne, who had been like a sculpture at the end, suddenly came to life.

"boom!"

The emperor in golden robes, wielding a weapon, transformed into a streak of light and charged toward Lei Zhan.

"Die!" The golden-robed emperor swung his great cyan sword down with a majestic and overwhelming force. His footwork was incredibly subtle, perfectly blending swordsmanship and footwork.

"Hmm, from an ordinary golden-armored general to this emperor-like gatekeeper, his strength has increased so much?"

Lei Zhan was astonished. "The aura emanating from this final guardian is almost comparable to that of some second-step Dao Lords. And this profound swordsmanship..." *Boom!*
With a thought, Lei Zhan thrust out a black spear, carrying with it a grand and imposing manner.

As soon as the spear was drawn, space and time distorted. However, within the spear technique that was displayed, the spear intent was the outer layer, and what was contained within was the profound mystery of the way of space and time.

"Boom bang..."

The cyan greatsword and the spear collided, and the mighty spear swept directly at the golden-robed emperor. With a loud bang, the golden-robed emperor was instantly blasted away.

"Haha! Again!" Lei Zhan smiled, his spear swirling in his hand, its momentum undiminished, transforming into a furious thrust. The spear moved like a shadow, its previous grandeur replaced by an eerie and unpredictable force.

The Five Styles of Time and Space: Instant Shadow Style!

call out!
The spear sliced ​​through the sky as if traversing time and space, and in an instant, it arrived before the golden-robed emperor.

"Huh? What?"

The golden-robed emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he brandished his cyan greatsword, desperately trying to defend himself.

"Die!" Lei Zhan's eyes turned cold.

Wow~~~
In an instant, the surrounding world darkened slightly, and spatial rifts suddenly appeared, crisscrossing each other. A terrifying spatial force, like a giant net, overflowed from the rifts, surrounding the golden-robed emperor from all directions.

Rumble~~~~~

The power of spacetime is twisted, a terrifying force of spacetime strangulation...

"No, no—" The golden-robed emperor immediately showed a look of terror, struggling to defend himself with the great blue sword in his hand.

However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. The golden-robed emperor, already at a disadvantage, was no match for this terrifying, net-like attack.
"puff."

Soon, the golden-robed emperor found it increasingly difficult to resist. Under the crushing force of thousands of spatial and temporal forces, a black spear swiftly pierced into the golden-robed emperor's chest. With a twist of the spear, his body shattered instantly.

Chi chi chi~~~
In an instant, the golden-robed emperor's shattered body was annihilated by countless forces of spacetime and vanished into nothingness.

With a single step, the ends of the earth seemed within reach in an instant, and he walked directly into the vortex that appeared behind the emperor's throne.

……

The moment Lei Zhan stepped into the vortex, the space shifted, and when the light returned, he was back in the plaza.

"Greetings, seniors." Lei Zhan looked at the smiling, three-eyed bald man and the barefoot girl in a thin veil beside him, and immediately bowed obediently.

Although the three-eyed bald man in front of me was a puppet, his strength had indeed reached the edge of the Dao Integration level, so killing him now wouldn't be too difficult.

The other person, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the three-eyed bald man, was at least at the same level in terms of strength and status.

"You did very well." The three-eyed bald man's gaze swept over Lei Zhan, a smile on his face.

"You flatter me, senior," Lei Zhan said with a smile.

"With such strength, this is no exaggeration." The three-eyed bald man shook his head and smiled, then pointed to the barefoot girl beside him and said with a smile, "This one beside me is the Divine Palace Array Spirit."

"Divine Palace Array Spirit?" Lei Zhan looked at the barefoot girl in the thin gauze and said respectfully, "Greetings, Array Spirit Senior."

“No need for formalities.” The barefoot girl shook her head. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to retrieve the magic treasure left behind by my master, the Qianyi Void Realm.”

"Good." Lei Zhan was naturally delighted to have acquired the Qianyi Void Realm, a treasure of great value. He looked at the three-eyed bald man curiously and asked, "Senior, what about my servants..."

"Your servants. Their trials are not yet over," the three-eyed bald man said.

"If you are willing to wait, it is fine to wait for them to come out. However... your opportunities are completely different, and you will choose the treasures separately while waiting for them."

"Choose them separately?" Lei Zhan paused in surprise.

"If you all pass the test, the opportunities you receive will naturally differ."

The barefoot girl said, "If they pass, the treasures they obtain may be considered precious outside, but they are nothing compared to the many treasures in my Pantheon."

But the Qianyi Void Realm I'm giving you—such a magical treasure—is something even those Dao Lords on the verge of achieving Dao Integration would treasure as their most prized possession.

"This..." Lei Zhan was speechless. How could he not cherish the Chaos Spirit Liquid, which was worth tens of millions of cubic meters?

It should be known that for those Dao Lords of Life and Death to refine the most perfect Dharma Body, it would take approximately ten million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

"Then please take me to retrieve the Qianyi Void Realm, senior." Lei Zhan looked at the two figures.

“Take the God of the Returning One World in with you. According to the master’s rules, I still have to wait for his servants to complete their trials.” The three-eyed bald man turned to look at the barefoot girl.

"Come with me." The barefoot girl nodded.

Rumble~~~
Suddenly, the main gate of the Divine Palace, which had been closed for an unknown period of time, began to slowly open.

The two enormous and majestic gates of the divine palace seemed to separate two vast worlds, and the area inside was completely dark and invisible.

The barefoot girl took a step and walked directly into the darkness behind the door.

"Go ahead." The three-eyed bald man looked at Lei Zhan.

“Yes.” Lei Zhan glanced at the three-eyed bald man, then obediently followed.
