The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Hmm? It's Master!"

"It was Master who made the move!"

Tian Qingzi's eyes, filled with resentment, suddenly burst forth with boundless joy.

A black spear, hundreds of millions of miles long, stood like a pillar supporting the sky, instantly blasting the flaming scimitar apart.

At the other end of that towering jade pillar stood a black-robed youth with an indifferent expression.

"Hide inside the barrier first," Lei Zhan said telepathically, looking at Yan Ming Daojun, who had transformed into flames in the distance.

"Yes." Tian Qingzi nodded slightly. With his strength, his role in a battle at this level was indeed not that important.

"Finally making your move? Your strength is quite surprising!"

As Yanming Daojun watched Tian Qingzi swiftly transform into a stream of light and depart from this void, he also looked towards Lei Zhan in the distance and said coldly:
"A mere second-step Dao Lord can actually hold his own against me in a head-on confrontation. I'm afraid the path you walk is a heaven-defying path that combines multiple of the strongest paths."

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Lei Zhan twirled his spear. "Didn't you want to kill my servant and me? Let me see the strength of you, Daoist Yanming."

"You Dao Lord are quite interesting," Dao Lord Yanming sneered. "Take a look at my strength? Don't think that just because you can withstand one of my strikes, you have the ability to fight me."

"Boom~~~"

Suddenly, endless flames erupted around Daoist Yanming as if from a volcano.

In his hands appeared two curved blades formed from dark golden flames, each radiating an astonishing temperature.

"Die!" Daoist Yanming was filled with overwhelming killing intent, and golden flames rolled around him, directly enveloping Lei Zhan.

"You?" Lei Zhan sneered, and the Meteor Shower in his hand shone brightly, like a meteor, as he slashed down with his spear!
Bang! ! !
The spear clashed with the flaming scimitar.

A tremendous roar rolled on, spreading to the surroundings.

bang bang bang! ! !
In the vast emptiness, under the terrifying collision, Lei Zhan, who was standing on the void, was forced to take several steps back.

"Hmm?" Daoist Yanming frowned, also startled. "This is a second-step Daoist? Even a fourth-step Daoist, who is most skilled in strength, wouldn't dare say he escaped unscathed when I unleashed my full power, yet this Daoist Guiyi..."

The endless realm contains many very special races, some even possessing astonishing potential.

Ancient cultivators, chaotic divine beasts, and even some extremely special and strange life forms are born very powerful, some even being born at the World Realm.

The race to which Yanming Daojun belongs is a very special life form.

Although they are not born like chaotic divine beasts or ancient cultivators, and are only at the level of the Myriad Manifestations Primordial Spirit in the Three Realms, they are like trees. The higher their cultivation and the stronger they become, the more amazing their racial talents will explode as their strength grows.

Combined with the unique, heaven-defying cultivation methods of their race, once they break through to the level of the Dao Lord of Life and Death, both their physical body and their soul and true spirit will accumulate over endless years...

In the end, even compared to those chaotic divine beasts and ancient cultivators, they were only slightly inferior.

But what Yanming Daojun didn't know was that although Lei Zhan was only a first-step Daojun, his cultivation of the ultimate Dao was comparable to that of the most heaven-defying second-step Daojun.

With the power of the blue-and-white mist, it was completely at the level of a fourth-step Dao Lord.

"Again!" Lei Zhan laughed heartily, his spear swirling like a dragon, each move mysterious and unpredictable, its power ridiculously great.

"Hmph, what immense brute force!" Daoist Yanming frowned.

'Splash splash ...

Instantly, streaks of sword light appeared, firelight and sword light intertwined, some attacking fiercely, some entangled, some slashing angrily, all surrounding and attacking Xiang Leizhan.

"Hahaha! That's exhilarating! That's exhilarating!" Lei Zhan stood in the void, holding a black spear in his hand. A dazzling black and gold spear light stretched for thousands of miles, colliding with the flaming scimitar.

Relying solely on brute force to fight Yanming Daojun, Lei Zhan was naturally not as arrogant as one might think. After all, Yanming Daojun was a second-tier Heaven-Defying Daojun, possessing formidable strength.

Lei Zhan is currently only a Dao Lord at the first step. Although he is on the ultimate path, the gap between them still exists.

"Fortunately, I still have Frost Moon." Lei Zhan unleashed a furious sweep of his spear, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the dark golden flames that filled the surrounding area were also drawn back.

Lei Zhan held the black spear in both hands, and on his left hand, he was wearing a rather inconspicuous glove.

Treasures are often hidden, let alone a treasure of the universe.

Once a treasure of the universe recognizes you as its master, as long as you don't reveal the unique aura fluctuations of the treasure, it will be difficult for other cultivators to detect it.

"Again! Again!" A faint smile appeared on Lei Zhan's face as he drew closer and closer to Yan Ming Daojun, the two locked in a fierce battle.

Lei Zhan's black spear moved with incredible speed, sometimes incredibly fast, sometimes incredibly slow, causing the flow of time and the dimensions of space around him to constantly shift with each swing. This made it difficult for the crimson flames of the blades to truly unleash their full power.

However, every move Lei Zhan makes is surprisingly effective.

Boom boom boom! ! !
With the terrifying power of the cosmic treasure bridging the gap between the two sides, the base extension was also played with great enthusiasm.

A power level like Yan Ming Daojun's would be a rare and formidable opponent for Lei Zhan, who possesses a treasure of the universe.

Secret techniques are important, methods are important, but for Lei Zhan himself, close combat is equally important.

"This guy..." The more Yanming Daojun fought, the more alarmed he became. "Such terrifying power, such powerful spacetime techniques!"

time flies.

The swordsmanship of the Daoist Yanming before him leaned more towards explosiveness, but within that explosiveness lay a sinister killing intent.

This level of combat also deepened Lei Zhan's understanding of the concept of time and space.

This kind of life-or-death struggle, especially a life-or-death struggle with a strong person who walks a different 'path', is of great help to Lei Zhan in comprehending the way of time and space.

The flaming scimitar moved like a violent storm, or like a volcano erupting.

But the black spear in Lei Zhan's hand displayed ever-changing spatial and temporal intent, easily deflecting each flash of the blade.

"Lord Guiyi, I underestimated you." Lord Yanming looked at Lei Zhan from afar. "No wonder you could make Tian Qingzi willingly submit, but... that's all."

Phew~~~
Flames surrounded Yanming Daojun, and at the same time, the flames condensed into streaks of sword light, spreading outwards in all directions from him.

Each blade of light stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, rapidly hurtling towards Lei Zhan.

"Secret techniques? Daoist Yanming, do you think you can defeat me with just these secret techniques?" Lei Zhan's voice rang out.

"These secret techniques, even if they can't defeat you, will at least leave you severely injured, if not dead!" Daoist Yanming's eyes turned cold, and his icy voice rang out.

“I mean what I say. Today, neither you nor Tian Qingzi can escape. The only way out is death.”

"Is that so?" Lei Zhan shook his head. "What a terrifying secret technique, but it has no effect on me."

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Powerful forces surged outwards from the center of the fortress, each possessing incredible strength.

Even a typical fourth-step Dao Lord would perish instantly upon encountering any one of them.

But now, there were nine forces crisscrossing in the void, which then quickly intertwined and transformed into two of the most dazzling golden rays.

The five elements of power, including the ninefold divine fire and the ninefold divine water, are now mixed together, with the ninefold divine water as the dominant force.

Water benefits all things without contention, and inherently possesses boundless inclusiveness.

The Ninefold Divine Thunder, the Ninefold Divine Wind, the Ninefold Divine Light, and the Ninefold Void are all governed by the Ninefold Void.

The Ninefold Void is the strongest of the nine secret techniques. It can directly command the other eight secret techniques. At this moment, it can easily command only three of them, such as the Ninefold Divine Thunder.

Both transformed into golden light, perfectly harmonious, as if the all-encompassing meaning of time and space was contained within them.

The two golden rays swept across the entire endless void the moment they appeared, forcefully crushing the surrounding flames and sword light.

Since comprehending the ultimate Dao of Time and Space, any direction of time and space, any school of thought, has been perfectly integrated together, seemingly filled with the power to annihilate everything, yet it can also conceal the most eerie and subtle yin and yang.

"Not good!" Daoist Yanming's expression changed, and he instantly transformed into endless flames.

The Nine Origin Secret Technique, once mastered, is incredibly powerful; even a top emperor of the Eternal Race like Emperor Meloppo would have to flee in panic.

“Puff puff puff~~~”

The endless sea of ​​fire was shattered the moment the overwhelming Nine Source Secret Techniques crashed down.

"What a powerful secret technique!" In the distant void, dark golden flames spread out, quickly condensing and reforming into the figure of Daoist Yanming.

Daoist Yanming's expression was solemn. "What kind of secret technique is this? This secret technique... is at least at the level of an Eternal Emperor!"

"An immortal body of flames?" Lei Zhan had no interest in paying attention to it, and just frowned as he looked at it.
