The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"died?"

"You're going to die now?"

The cultivators watching from the distant Flying Feather Pavilion were all taken aback.

Yan Ming Daojun's strength is definitely at the second level of a heaven-defying Daojun.

He died just like that? He died so easily?

"What just happened? Why did Daoist Yanming suddenly freeze there? And what about that talisman..."

"Mental power! I can sense fluctuations in mental power!"

"That talisman just now seemed to have fluctuations of mental energy; it was a treasure crafted by a mental energy cultivator."

The cultivators who were watching from afar, as well as the servants of Feiyu Tower, were all filled with shock.

This is truly astonishing. There are only a handful of Fourth-Step Dao Lords in the Endless Territory, and among these Dao Lords, there are even fewer Heaven-Defying Dao Lords.

Almost every one of the Heaven-Defying Dao Lords was renowned and famous throughout the entire Endless Territory, yet one of them died right under their noses.
"Hmm? The fluctuations in the aura of Daojun Yanming..." Lei Zhan looked at the distant figure, sensing that Daojun Yanming had completely lost all vitality, and was also stunned. "It seems that he really is dead."

Wow~~~
Two golden dragons, each hundreds of millions of miles long, relentlessly attacked Yanming Daojun, instantly forming a massive golden vortex.

At the center of this vortex, the body left behind by the dead Daoist Yanming offered absolutely no resistance.

"It seems he's really dead!" Lei Zhan felt a slight sense of relief. Under the projection of the World of the Heart, everything was under Lei Zhan's control, and the aura of Daoist Yan Ming had completely dissipated.

It's no wonder Lei Zhan was cautious. Although the Palace Master of Xingyun Palace was strong, the Dao Talisman containing a full-force attack killed a Heaven-Defying Dao Lord in an instant. It was far too easy.

It's so easy it's almost unreal.

Like a Dao Lord who defies the heavens, he would have some trump cards to protect his life. For example, Lei Zhan alone has the Time-Space Disc bestowed by the Lord of Mangya and the life-saving wonder bestowed by Dao Lord Lanzhou.

Furthermore, there is a powerful weapon like a Dao talisman containing the full force of the Cloud Palace Master's attack.

It makes no sense that the only trump card that Daoist Yanming possesses is the immortal flame body he comprehended.

call.

Lei Zhan transformed into a streak of light, traversing the void as if teleporting, and instantly approached the place where Yan Ming Daojun had died.

"Brother Xingyun's mental power technique is truly domineering." Lei Zhan glanced at the body falling from the void and some treasures, sighed inwardly, and waved his hand to collect the treasures.

suddenly--

"You're quite cautious, but you... still got close." A voice rang out.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan's expression changed. "Something's fishy!"

"Back off! Back off!"

A terrifying sense of crisis left Lei Zhan with no other thoughts but one: to get as far away as possible.

He could sense a tremendous threat emanating from the corpse of Daoist Yanming, which appeared almost simultaneously with that sound.

It seems something terrible is about to happen!

Whoosh~~~
In an instant, a spacetime rift appeared in front of Lei Zhan. The rift looked as if a pair of scissors had cut through it, and everything around the rift was neat and tidy.

"Boom~~~"

That terrible thing descended, and its immense power erupted in an instant.

It was as if the darkness of the sky and earth was suddenly pierced by the first ray of light.

This 'light' also caught Lei Zhan's eye.

It was a raging inferno, with an immense and terrifying power erupting from within it. The entire flame resembled an enormous flaming scimitar.

The sudden outburst of Yanming Daojun's technique was like a volcano that had accumulated energy over countless years, erupting completely in an instant!
The moment that towering flaming scimitar appeared, time seemed to be completely suppressed, and space seemed to be burned into nothingness.

It may sound slow, but it all happens in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! Damn it! That Daoist Yanming was clearly dead beyond any doubt, so how did he suddenly come back to life?" Lei Zhan was terrified.

When this terrifying power descended, even if Lei Zhan desperately unleashed the power of the cosmic treasure 'Frost Moon' to withstand it, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed, according to his inexplicable perception.

"No, it seems that Daoist Yanming has locked onto me with this technique, and there is no way to avoid it." Lei Zhan sensed the terrifying power that enveloped him in an instant, and he vaguely realized something.

Such terrifying techniques that can unleash such power in an instant are naturally not easy for cultivators to dodge; they are usually locked onto with one's divine soul.

There's no way to avoid it.

"What to do? What to do?" In that instant, countless thoughts seemed to flash through Lei Zhan's mind.

"No, we have no choice but to dive into the depths of the spacetime dimension. Although we can't completely avoid the power of this terrifying method, we can at least resist some of its force by relying on the layers of spacetime dimension power."

Without giving it much thought, Lei Zhan thought for a moment and instantly transformed into a dazzling golden light, then pierced into that spatial rift.

The moment Lei Zhan entered the spacetime rift, the rift closed, but Lei Zhan still felt a great threat and continued to travel deeper into the spacetime dimension.

"boom!!!!!"

Just as Lei Zhan burrowed into the deeper dimensions of space and time, the scimitar formed by towering flames crashed down.

The blade flashed down.

Time and space stand still, and everything is invincible.

The fiery blade struck the endless void, instantly obliterating time and space, reducing them to nothingness.

Even deeper dimensions of spacetime quickly shattered.

The blade light relentlessly pursued deeper into spacetime, its fierce gleam and overwhelming power seemingly undiminished.

"Damn it! Damn it! This technique is definitely at the level of an Eternal Emperor, or even possibly at the level of a top Emperor or the Lord of one of the Eight Holy Cities!" Lei Zhan thought to himself with great seriousness.

The fiery blade behind him relentlessly pursued Lei Zhan, while Lei Zhan continued to traverse into the depths of time and space.

Time passed, and finally...

"We've reached the end. This spacetime dimension is the deepest level I can enter right now!" Lei Zhan's expression was grim.

While the Ultimate Path of Space-Time is powerful, it also has its limits. At least one level of the Ultimate Path of Space-Time has an end.

The endless void is like a 'layered cake', and after Lei Zhan comprehends the ultimate way of space and time, he can break through the layers of barriers within this 'layered cake' and enter a deeper realm.

These layers of barriers, like shields, helped to continuously weaken the power of the flaming scimitar.

"It seems we have no choice but to tough it out!" Lei Zhan gritted his teeth inwardly.

He sensed that the power of the fiery blade had greatly diminished, and the beautiful blue-and-white flower in his mind's eye suddenly shone brightly.

Rumble~~~
Like a tsunami, a large amount of blue-and-white mist power was poured into the silver glove on the left hand without reservation, like a surging wave.

"Senior Frost Moon, please help me!" Lei Zhan silently communicated with the spirit of the cosmic treasure in his heart, while his left hand suddenly swung out, striking down with overwhelming annihilation intent.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
One palm struck down, followed by countless others in an instant, overlapping and endless, as if forming cycle after cycle. "Reincarnation Style... Annihilation Style... Star Shattering Style..."

The power of the Flaming Scimitar was constantly diminishing, and the blue-and-white water droplets within the Blue-and-White Space of the Sea of ​​Consciousness were also being consumed rapidly.

In that instant, Lei Zhan went completely mad.

Its power is comparable to that of top emperors and the lords of the eight holy cities. Even though it has been weakened considerably by the many dimensions of time and space, it is still incredibly terrifying.

Such terrifying power is not something that Reizen can easily withstand.

Rumble~~~
As the flaming blade descended, layers of spacetime trembled.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"

"Break! Break!" Lei Zhan's eyes were red as he resisted.

The ultimate spacetime Dao, which had reached the level of a Dao Lord, was unleashed one after another, frantically resisting the fiery blade light.

At that very moment, the terrifying flames and blades completely engulfed Lei Zhan.

……

In the endless void outside the Flying Feather Tower.

"Huh? Hiding? They actually hid in a deeper dimension of spacetime?"

A cold voice echoed in the shattered void.

A figure emerged directly from the body of the old man in golden robes and black hair who was floating in the void.

The figure was dressed in a crimson robe with intricate gold patterns, making it look incredibly magnificent.

The red-robed cultivator who emerged from Yanming Daojun's body also had golden eyes and long, jet-black hair, but he looked like an old man.

“Mental power cultivators are truly terrifying! It’s a pity that my true self didn’t even have time to react before he died and his cultivation dissipated.”

"However... the treasures bestowed by the Ancestor are not so easy to dodge."

The crimson-robed Daoist Yanming wore a faint look of lingering fear and killing intent on his face. "Even if that Daoist Guiyi could burrow into the depths of spacetime, he would still be nothing more than a rat with nowhere to run!"

This treasure, which has reached the level of the Lord of the Eight Great Holy Cities, was a precious treasure that was bestowed upon Dao Lord Yanming when he broke through to the level of the Fourth Step Dao Lord and made great contributions!
"Even if my treasure were to encounter a powerful Eternal Emperor, it would be severely injured, let alone a mere Second Step Dao Lord."

Although Yanming Daojun felt very sorry for him, he did not regret it.

In the face of life and death, even the true body perished in an instant, but Daoist Yanming could not care about such things.

No matter how extraordinary or precious a treasure may be, if it never gets a chance to be used, it is nothing but a piece of trash.

If one dies and disappears completely, then one truly loses everything, and may even end up benefiting others.

"A mere Second-Step Dao Lord?"

"Even a mere second-step Dao Lord can easily crush you!" A voice that was quite familiar to Dao Lord Yanming suddenly rang out behind him, but this voice contained endless killing intent.

As the voice faded, a large hand wearing a silver-white glove reached out to grab Yan Ming Daojun. "So that's why you suddenly came back to life and almost caused me a great loss. It turns out you have a second primordial spirit following you? In that case, it saves me a lot of trouble!"

"Huh? You, shouldn't you have died deep in the spacetime dimension?" Yanming Daojun's expression, which had been slightly smiling, changed instantly.

He turned his head to look at the owner of the voice, while simultaneously fleeing backward at lightning speed.

He was genuinely frightened; even the methods left behind by his ancestor couldn't subdue his opponent. And now, he had emerged unscathed from another dimension…

"Escape? Do you think you can escape?" Lei Zhan's eyes turned cold.

"Whoosh."

Lei Zhan suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Not good!" As Daoist Yanming was fleeing at top speed in a streak of light, he scanned his surroundings, his divine sense completely covering the area, and he also discovered a figure circling around him at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Die!" A silver-white light flashed instantly.

Daoist Yanming swung his flaming scimitar to defend himself.

"Oh!"

That palm itself possessed terrifying power, instantly turning Yanming Daojun's face pale.

"What? How come your strength has suddenly increased so much?"

"Strengthened? Thanks to you, if I hadn't become stronger, how could I have withstood your trump card?" Lei Zhan said softly, his left hand, gloved with silver, lit up and directly enveloped Yan Ming Daojun.

At the moment the cosmic treasure shone brightly, it seemed as if endless phantoms appeared.

Each phantom was that left hand wearing a silver-white glove, layer upon layer, as if millions of giant hands were pressing down in that instant.

"Freak! Freak!"

"Freak..."

A terrifying power permeated the air, and fear instantly overwhelmed Daoist Yanming.

"Pfft~~~"

The palm pressed down, crushing down on the space and time beneath it with an irresistible and terrifying force.

With a flick of his hand, he crushed the endless flames, crushed the frantically fleeing figure...

When everything settled down, that flame vanished completely, turning into nothingness.

Daoist Yanming, die!

……

"This this……"

"Peak Dao Lord! Absolutely a peak Dao Lord!"

"That final move! That final move is definitely at the peak of the Dao Lord level!"

Every cultivator, including Tian Qingzi who knew Lei Zhan's strength, stared wide-eyed.

This is too powerful! This level of strength has completely overturned their understanding of a Second-Step Dao Lord. Even the most monstrous Dao Lord of Life and Death couldn't unleash strength comparable to a peak Dao Lord!

"Such strength..." Behind countless cultivators, a cloud of black mist appeared, which then condensed into a figure with fiery red eyes, filled with evil and killing intent.

"A mere second-step Dao Lord can unleash power stronger than mine; this Guiyi Dao Lord likely possesses a great secret! Perhaps some extraordinary treasure. However…"

He gazed at the black-robed youth crushing Yanming Daojun in the distant void, his eyes, though filled with evil and killing intent, also held a deep sense of dread.

"Such a heaven-defying prodigy, I'm afraid only Brother Sijia and I can be confident of defeating him. However, the talisman used by Guiyi Daojun just now seems to be closely related to the Xingyun Palace Master of Mangya Kingdom."

He was somewhat familiar with the methods that others couldn't recognize, after all, he had dealt with the Palace Master of Xingyun Palace when he was in Yuxinghai.
