The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Morning Water Star is the location of the spacetime teleportation array.

Buzz~~~
The teleportation array on Morning Water Star lit up again.

"Huh? This teleportation array was just activated, how come it's activated again?" Some of the ancestral gods and immortals responsible for maintaining the spacetime teleportation array muttered to each other.

Wow.

Just as these ancestral gods and immortals were wondering, two figures appeared inside the space-time teleportation array.

One was a handsome young man dressed in black robes, and the other was a somewhat immature-looking boy in white robes. These two figures were none other than Lei Zhan and Yi Feng, the world god.

"Strange, Master, Sanqing and the others keep moving. They're almost out of the Azure Sky Domain, and they're still moving rapidly."

Lei Zhan frowned slightly. "Such a fast speed is very abnormal. It doesn't seem like they are traveling. Instead, it seems more like they are running for their lives."

“Master, we have followed you all the way from the Great Mo Domain, but we still haven’t seen your master or your friends.”

The Winged Wind World God was also puzzled: "Could it be that some cultivator is chasing them, which is why they are fleeing so frantically?"

Bodhi Patriarch and the Three Pure Ones possess tokens given to them by Lei Zhan, so within a certain range, Lei Zhan can sense the presence of these tokens.

After leaving Mangya Kingdom, they traveled through time and space via the time portal, returning to the Great Mo Domain.

However, when passing through the Azure Sky Domain, Lei Zhan sensed the presence of the talisman.

They followed along the way, even passing through some strange and dangerous places where even the base fielder had to be careful.

Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, Lei Zhan conjured a black flying boat out of thin air, and he and his servant entered the boat.

"Yes. That's probably the only reason." Lei Zhan nodded.

When cultivators are fleeing for their lives, they don't care about the dangers of any perilous or extraordinary places. As long as they can see a glimmer of hope, they will flee for their lives.

Just like when the Northern World God was being hunted down, even his soul and true spirit were reduced to a mere remnant. Even the Eternal Mid-Grade Divine Weapon, the Purple Light Jade, was on the verge of shattering.

"Let's go! I'm afraid Master and the others are in big trouble!" Lei Zhan's expression was solemn. At the same time, following the connection between the talismans, the flying boat immediately broke through the air and rushed into the endless chaos.

Wow wow wow~~~~
Ripples spread through time and space.

With Lei Zhan's understanding of the principles of time and space, unless the distance is extremely far, he can generally travel a relatively long distance through time and space while controlling the Qiongtian Yixin Boat.

Even a vast territory comparable to the entire Great Mo Domain can usually be traversed in just a few dozen time-space travels.

……

after one day.

"Rumble~~~"

In the distant void of Morning Water Star, there is a huge and majestic chaotic star.

A battle was taking place on that chaotic star, and the aftershocks of the battle alone caused the surrounding chaos to churn and tremble.

But around this chaotic star, everything was shrouded in mist, with terrifying array formations and restrictions spreading out, completely enveloping the entire star.

"Run! Why aren't you running now?" A gray-robed alien stood in the air, looking down at the desolate land below.

This was a giant man with dark blue skin. He was very tall, with two sharp horns on his forehead, an ugly face, and a pair of fangs.

He stood in mid-air, looking down at the three figures struggling desperately below, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent and mockery.

“You lot, although you’re only at the World Realm, you’re quite good at escaping.”

The ugly giant's voice boomed, "Luckily, I, Ugly Slave, was cautious. Otherwise, if I had been a little careless, you slippery creatures would have escaped right away!"

“Senior, we do not wish to be your enemy, nor are we qualified to be your enemy. However, a single Azure Mist Spirit Fruit is extremely precious; we risked our lives to obtain it. Are we just going to hand it over for nothing?”

A voice rang out from below, "Although we are only at the World Realm and are insignificant to you, senior, we are not the type to hand over treasures so easily."

This is a middle-aged Taoist priest carrying a divine sword. Nine divine swords surround the Taoist priest, yet his temperament is quite unique.

The Taoist priest, who exuded a terrifying aura of killing intent, emanated a tranquility akin to the gentle flow of water.

"Senior Ugly Slave, I have a solution that satisfies both parties. Would you be willing to listen?"

Another gaunt old man in a loose Taoist robe also spoke up: "This Azure Mist Spirit Fruit is a coveted treasure for cultivators of the Wood Element."

"If it were put up for auction, it could fetch at least two million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid. So, if you really want it, senior, we only need one and a half million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid, and we will sell the Azure Mist Spirit Fruit to you."

"Sell?" the ugly giant sneered.

"If I were willing to spend Chaos Elixir to buy it, why would I have gone to such lengths to hunt down your several territories?"

"Don't waste your energy. Once you're dead, all the treasures in your possessions will be mine! Including that incomparably precious Azure Mist Spirit Fruit!"

The ugly giant felt disdain.

He, the Ugly Slave Dao Lord, is the Dao Lord of Life and Death, a powerful Dao Lord with a renowned reputation throughout the entire Azure Sky Domain.

If it were an ordinary World Realm expert in front of him, they would have already knelt down respectfully and obediently offered up their treasures!

Only some cultivators at the same level of the Dao Lord of Life and Death would receive some respect from him.

These three World Realm experts were not only exceptionally strong, but their methods of escaping were also incredibly monstrous.

Even with the skills of the Ugly Slave Dao Lord, it would take considerable effort for someone who is proficient in the Dao of Time and Space to travel through time and space and hide in another dimension.

The other is skilled at combining wind and space. Even though he is only at the World Realm, his escape speed is close to six times the speed of light! That's a speed that only some Dao Lords who have reached the edge of the Dao Integration Realm can achieve!

The remaining one, though not adept at escaping, was highly skilled at killing. The Path of Destruction formed by the Way of Sword and the Way of Destruction even made Ugly Slave Dao Lord himself feel a sense of dread.

Although the Ugly Slave Daoist Lord appeared disdainful in the face of these monstrous geniuses, he actually took them very seriously.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say!"

Another tall man in a red robe shook his head, looking at the ugly giant in the distance. "Ugly Slave Daoist Lord, do you really think we've been talking to you all this time just to beg for mercy?"

Whoosh!

The red-robed man moved with a swift movement, like a gust of wind, instantly lifting up his two companions and disappearing from the spot.

"Hmm? You're courting death!" Ugly Slave Daoist's expression changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"die!"

In an instant, the Ugly Slave Daoist Lord transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards the red-robed man.

With a flick of his right hand, his entire right arm became like a spear, directly piercing towards the figure that moved like the wind, and the tip of his finger was the tip of the spear!
He was originally a special life form that had cultivated to its current form, and his body was extremely strong, so naturally every part of his body could be used as a weapon.

"Hmph!" The red-robed man's expression changed slightly as he felt the power of the spear on the arm.

This was a powerful, enraged strike from a Dao Lord of Life and Death, unlike the weak Dao Lords they had encountered before who had broken through by consuming the Heaven-Stealing Life and Death Pill.

"This killing move is terrifying. Even a slight graze could cost me, Fengmo, my life!" the red-robed man thought to himself.

boom! ! !
The long spear pierced through all obstacles, its terrifying power shaking the heavens and earth.

Whoosh. The Wind Demon's entire figure was like a howling wind, and its speed was extremely fast. In a flash, it drifted millions of miles away.

That spear-like arm was simply flung behind him.

"Damn ant! I'll teach you to hide!" Ugly Slave Dao Lord was enraged. He rushed over by stepping through the void, each step causing the void to tremble, and his huge palm slammed down wildly.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Rumble~~~
At the same time, countless streaks of blood-red divine lightning descended from the layers of arrays and restrictions above the entire chaotic star.

"Under my Blood Abyss Divine Thunder Formation, I'd like to see where you can escape to?"

As for breaking through the array's restrictions and escaping?
Ugly Slave Daoist Lord had never imagined this!

The elaborate formation he set up was a trump card that he had acquired at great cost.

Even some Dao Lords of the same level would find it difficult to escape from this great formation!

"Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!" Feng Mo sensed the omnipresent crimson divine lightning around him while constantly dodging the giant hand that resembled a dark cloud, his heart filled with anxiety.

However, the speed that could originally barely reach six times the speed of light, moving like the wind, has visibly slowed down considerably.

There were just too many divine lightning bolts around!
Not only is its power terrifying, but it also has extremely strong binding force. Even the fastest binding force will be greatly reduced in this crimson lightning swamp.

"Almost there! Almost there! Bodhi will soon find a way out." Fengmo carefully dealt with Chounu Daojun, but the immense pressure constantly threatened him.

Although he is a cultivator who refines his body through divine and demonic means, he is ultimately only at the World Realm.

Even with a powerful divine body and great speed, it is still no match for a Dao Lord of Life and Death.

suddenly.

"Hmm?" Feng Mo was startled. "This is..."

A crimson swamp, stretching for billions of miles, blotted out the sky and blocked out the sun...

Suddenly, it cracked.

……

In the void far away from this chaotic star, a young man in black robes appeared.

He gazed at the enormous star shrouded in the array in the distance, a ripple appearing in his eyes.

The black-robed youth who appeared in this void was none other than Lei Zhan, who had come here following the connection between the talismans.

"Master and the others are just ahead!"

Wow~~~
With a single step, Lei Zhan vanished from the void and reappeared hundreds of millions of miles away in the blink of an eye.

Each step seemed to break through time and traverse space, traversing extremely long distances.

Soon, Lei Zhan appeared above a huge chaotic star.

The entire star was shrouded in an array, and within the array's restrictions that sealed off time and space, countless crimson lightning bolts could be faintly seen roaming freely.

At the center of countless crimson lightning bolts, a man in a red robe was wandering around.

"It's the Wind Demon!" Lei Zhan's gaze sharpened, and a black spear suddenly appeared in his hand. The spear was like a dragon, and he thrust it out fiercely.

Wow~~~

The once incredibly sturdy formation, which even powerful Dao Lords could withstand for a moment, was instantly ripped open by the black spear, leaving a huge crack.

"Huh? What?" Ugly Slave Dao Lord suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on the huge crack above the great formation, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

"Which fellow Daoist has come here? I am the Ugly Slave Daoist Lord of the Azure Sky Sect!"

The voice of the Ugly Slave Dao Lord was extremely urgent. He could easily tear apart a great formation that even a second-step Dao Lord could withstand for a long time, so he was far from someone he could afford to offend.

"The Azure Sky Sect? Ugly Slave Daoist?" A calm voice rang out, "Is Tianqingzi a member of your sect?"

The voice was very soft, as if it were just a casual remark, but when it echoed in the ears of the Ugly Slave Daoist, it made him shiver involuntarily.

"Yes! Yes! Tian Qingzi is the leader of our Tianqing Sect!" Chou Nu Daojun said repeatedly. "My Daoist name is Chou Nu. I don't know when I offended you unintentionally. Please forgive me! I am willing to pay the price to appease your anger!"

"The price?" Lei Zhan took a step forward, directly entering the crimson lightning swamp that was beginning to crumble. "You want to kill my friend, you want to kill my master, and you want to kill people and steal their treasures..."

"Tell me, what price will you pay to quell my anger?"

"This..." Chou Nu Daojun paused for a moment. Although he could sense that the aura emanating from the black-robed youth in front of him was still at the World Realm level, he dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

The most solid formations and restrictions are usually on the outside.

But this cultivator, exuding the aura of the World Realm, actually tore apart his trump card array directly...

Such methods are probably difficult even for some powerful Dao Lords of Life and Death. At least, he doesn't have the strength to do this.

"I, I am willing to give up a Green Mist Spirit Fruit plus three million Chaos Spirit Liquid!"

Ugly Slave Daoist said, "This is a treasure worth five million cubic units of Chaos Spirit Liquid! I hope you will accept it for the sake of my Azure Sky Sect and for the sake of Azure Sky Daoist!"

"Azure Mist Spirit Fruit? Three million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid?" Lei Zhan raised an eyebrow, looking at the ugly man with a somewhat frightened expression, his expression inscrutable.

The Azure Mist Spirit Fruit is a treasure coveted by cultivators who follow the path of wood, as it can increase their affinity with the wood element.

They usually only appear at various auctions, and once they do, they are snapped up by a group of Dao Lords of Life and Death.

This treasure is several times more precious than the Dragon Fruit that was encountered in the Great Mo Domain!
“Fortress, fortress spread!” A somewhat weak voice rang out in this space.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan looked over, his gaze also falling on the pale-faced Fu Mo.

As the crimson thunder gradually dissipated, the great formation that had posed a significant threat to the Wind Demon became completely ineffective, naturally making him much safer.

Feng Mo looked up at Lei Zhan and said in a deep voice, "This Ugly Slave Daoist Lord... doesn't have the Azure Mist Spirit Fruit. He can't produce the one he promised you! The Azure Mist Spirit Fruit is with Bodhi right now..."

"This..." A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Ugly Slave Daoist, and he hurriedly said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me! I am willing to offer some treasures of equal value to the Azure Mist Spirit Fruit! I only ask that you..."

“Treasure…” Lei Zhan shook his head and said, “No need.”

"Oh?" Ugly Slave Daoist's face lit up with joy. "No need for treasures? Then I, Ugly Slave, thank you for your consideration of the Azure Sky Sect..."

“That’s not the case.” Lei Zhan laughed. “You don’t need to give up those treasures you have.”

"No need to offer it voluntarily?" Ugly Slave Daoist wondered. "What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

"What do you mean?" Lei Zhan's smile deepened.

Don't you understand?

"Because if I kill you... all these treasures of yours will be mine!"
