The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"The Time-Space Disc crafted by the Overlord of Mangya..."

Having lived for countless years and even fought against the Eternal Emperor of Mangya Kingdom, Emperor Shenrong is naturally very familiar with this time-space disc.

In fact, the most powerful beings in the entire Endless Territory are very familiar with the Mangya Ruler and understand his thoughts very well.

They also knew that the Lord of Mangya had always taken great care of the Mangya royal family and the Dao Lords of the Twelve Palaces of Mangya.

Being accepted as a disciple and bestowed with the Time-Space Disc also signifies that the Lord of Mangya has high hopes for him.

Generally, other powerful figures would give some face when they see an empty plate and wouldn't bother with such a small guy.

"Unfortunately, my Shenrong clan and the Mangya Kingdom have long been on opposing sides." The Shenrong Emperor's eyes were filled with endless coldness.

In his view, the Shenrong clan and the Mangya Kingdom were never on good terms, and their relationship had already become irreconcilable when they fought to the death with the Eternal Emperor of the Time Palace.

Even if they let go of this little guy whom the Mangya Overlord highly regards, it would only create a terrible enemy for the future of his Shenrong clan.

"Go!" With a thought, the Divine Banyan Emperor's fiery scimitar, which stretched for billions of miles, swiftly transformed into a streak of light and slashed towards Lei Zhan.

"Damn it! Tian Qingzi, don't resist!" Lei Zhan was anxious and with a wave of his hand, he put Tian Qingzi, who was standing next to him, into the cave treasure.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the strange black and white disc in Lei Zhan's hand was also activated in that instant.

“Buzz~~~”

At this moment, the immense power contained within the space disk was instantly activated.

Suddenly, a vast and terrifying wave descended. This wave immediately engulfed Lei Zhan and began to forcibly tear apart space and time.

The vast, scorching flames that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, and the terrifying flaming scimitar, were instantly left behind in the face of this spacetime disc.

"Hmm? So fast? This space-time disc... the methods of the Mangya Overlord are indeed extraordinary." The Divine Banyan Emperor looked at the stream of light that quickly tore through space-time from afar, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It should be noted that the Time-Space Disc before him was merely a treasure. It contained only a fraction of the power unleashed by the Lord of Mangya.

Even so, that vast and terrifying power still madly tore through space and time, breaking through the terrifying flames that covered hundreds of millions of miles.

"Hmm? There's hope!" Lei Zhan was overjoyed.

He only felt that the moment he activated the Wheel of Reincarnation, a mysterious wave instantly enveloped him. It was a 'Dao' that was deeper than the ordinary Dao of space and time.

"The Way of Time and Space... Is this feeling the Way of Time and Space at the Dominator level? It seems similar to my Instant Shadow Style..." This thought flashed through Lei Zhan's mind.

In the face of life-or-death crisis, every thought was magnified infinitely, and Lei Zhan also felt an unprecedented peace in his heart.

Suddenly, a cold voice made Lei Zhan's heart sink.

"Hmph! You think you can escape from me with just a treasure? What a joke!"

Emperor Shenrong glanced at it indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, nine snow-white curved blades instantly appeared within a radius of billions of miles around him.

Nine curved blades surrounded it, forming an invisible wall that covered an area of ​​billions of miles.

Each scimitar resembled a crescent moon hanging in the chaotic void, except that this crescent moon was shrouded in endless blade light.

"town!"

The Divine Banyan Emperor uttered a single word, and immediately, a hazy flame burst forth within a radius of billions of miles.

Under the firelight, the stream of light formed by the power contained within the spacetime disk slowed down considerably.

"Hmph! The Time-Space Disc... If the Lord of Mangya comes in person, I'm afraid I really won't be able to do anything about it."

Emperor Shenrong sneered, "But it's just a treasure, a treasure crafted by the Lord of Mangya. If you were to escape so easily, where would the face of my Shenrong clan be?"

Rumble~~~
A massive flaming scimitar blotted out the sky, covering the entire chaotic void, and slashed down at Lei Zhan.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Feeling the terrifying power contained in the flaming scimitar, Lei Zhan's heart sank.

This was already the most powerful treasure in Lei Zhan's possession for escaping. As the owner of the Time-Space Disc, he could clearly sense that the power contained within the treasure was also rapidly dissipating.

"The Time-Space Disc that my master bestowed upon me is different from ordinary ones. It was crafted by him with great magical power and can be used three times." Lei Zhan thought to himself.

"I wonder what methods the Divine Banyan Emperor used to turn the surrounding area of ​​billions of miles into his domain."

"If I want to escape with the two remaining chances of the Time-Space Disc, I'm afraid the only way is to leave this domain."

Within a radius of billions of miles, spacetime is incredibly stable. Even the power contained within the spacetime disk is being suppressed in this region.

"Besides, I'm here, and this place is very close to the Eternal Kingdom. I'm afraid the supreme emperor of the Eternal Kingdom could come at any time..." Lei Zhan thought anxiously, "It seems that I have no choice but to fight with my life!"

Lei Zhan's heart became incredibly resolute, and the ripples in his heart began to subside.

"Fight!"

Rumble~~~
The defenses were no longer held back; in that instant, a vast world of the heart descended.

At the same time, the nine great secret techniques spread out like nine dragons in an instant, and quickly unleashed their most terrifying power within the massive projection of the world of the heart!

Instantly, the entire chaotic void seemed to sink into a swamp, affecting the flight speed of both the fiery scimitars that stretched for billions of miles and the nine scimitars that covered a range of billions of miles.

"Hmph! The struggle of an ant!" Divine Banyan Emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Die!"

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! !
The enormous flaming scimitar, stretching for billions of miles, suddenly erupted, unleashing dazzling flames as it slashed directly at Lei Zhan.

"Break!" Lei Zhan shouted in a low voice. He held a black spear in his right hand and wore a silver-white glittering glove on his left.

As if the bright moonlight had been grasped in its hand, the glove also emitted a hazy moon-white light, instantly expanding to a size of hundreds of millions of miles, directly meeting the flaming scimitar.

"The World of the Heart, the Nine Great Secret Techniques, and the Treasures of the Universe... they really have quite a few tricks up their sleeves." Emperor Shenrong shook his head.

He was merely a second-step Dao Lord.

No matter how many methods one employs, if one's understanding of the Dao remains constant, even the most powerful methods will find it difficult to unleash their full potential.

Bang! ! !
All secret techniques and world projections were completely shattered before this flame that could incinerate everything. The flaming scimitar did not diminish, and continued its relentless crushing attack.

The hand wearing a silver glove collided with the flaming scimitar, and the huge roar made Lei Zhan's face turn pale.

Under the terrifying impact, if it weren't for the spacetime disk protecting Lei Zhan, the power that was easily dispersed from this attack would probably have killed him.

"Damn it, the gap is too big!" Lei Zhan's heart sank, and the power contained in the spacetime disk also dropped sharply in that instant.

"Interesting, it actually blocked it." Emperor Shenrong's voice was majestic. "Even relying on the power of a cosmic treasure, this spacetime disk is enough for you to be proud of in the endless territory."

"Unfortunately... this isn't enough to escape from me!"

The gap between them is too big!

Aside from lacking a cosmic treasure, Divine Banyan Emperor completely overwhelms Lei Zhan in almost every aspect. He is utterly superior to Lei Zhan in every way.

Even the amplification of strength from cosmic treasures cannot bridge the enormous gap between them.

"What should I do? What should I do! I can't just die like this! I've only just embarked on the ultimate path, I still need to take each step to become the strongest, I still need to merge with the Dao and be eternal! If I die, even if I still have a second primordial spirit left, if my original body is gone, then I'm truly gone!" Lei Zhan had an infinite desire to survive.

In the endless territories and even the entire chaotic universe, he has only just begun. In the future, even more wonderful and expansive scenery awaits him.

Moreover, with his death, the cosmic treasures he had painstakingly acquired, the nine secret techniques he had cultivated, the protective divine abilities, and the treasure worth hundreds of millions of cubic meters of chaotic spiritual liquid would all vanish into nothingness…

"Die!" A scimitar formed once again from countless flames descended once more.

The terrifyingly high temperature burned all the hair on the body into ashes, and even the skin could feel the burning sting.

"I can't lose, I can't die here! I still have a chance, a sliver of hope." A terrifying light burned in Lei Zhan's eyes, a desperate, solitary gamble.

"I'll give it my all. The pressure of life and death is extremely helpful for enlightenment! And I'm only one step away from the final bottleneck in the second level of the ultimate path... As long as my understanding of the Dao deepens, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

boom! ! ! !

The blade flashed like fire, flames roared. A terrifying blade of light descended!
That flaming scimitar was still terrifying, still possessing an irresistible and astonishing power.

"Block! The power of the Time-Space Disc is dwindling, I must hold it off!" Lei Zhan gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the cosmic treasure to resist, pushing the Time-Space Technique to its limit.

Around the base, there were countless light and shadow figures wearing silver gloves, and countless black holes of all sizes. The edges of the black holes tore through the chaos and shattered the flames that seemed to be everywhere.

Countless temporal turbulences merged perfectly with the projection of the world of the heart, as if the chaotic void had formed a terrifying temporal realm at this moment.

"boom!"

This shock is far more terrifying than the last one.

Lei Zhan was sent flying backwards in the void. As he flew backwards, his divine body trembled slightly, as if it would crack at any moment under this terrifying power.

"Hmm? They're still alive? They really are monsters!" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of Emperor Shenrong.

The more monstrous Guiyi Daojun was, the more intense his killing intent became, just like the flames burning fiercely on that scimitar.

"If a second-step Dao Lord can be so monstrous, if we let this child stay, he will probably become a major threat to our Divine Banyan Clan before long!"

His killing intent surged, and at the same time, huge flaming scimitars emerged from the void, crushing the chaotic void and slashing towards Lei Zhan one after another.

"You think you can withstand that? I'd like to see how many of my blows you can take. And how many times can your empty disc block your attacks!"

"Hahaha, no need for you to worry!" Lei Zhan laughed, his left hand, adorned with the cosmic treasure, frantically blocking the flaming scimitar, constantly being forced back by the blows.

Under the immense power of the Time-Space Disc, Lei Zhan was like a spring that could be broken at any moment. He was in a terrible state under the intense pressure, but miraculously managed to hold on.

Time passes minute by minute.

"The Way of Time and Space... The Ultimate Way of Time and Space..." A cool aura permeated the stacked soul and true spirit, and he also felt an unprecedented tranquility. In this inner peace, he also tried to capture that missing glimmer of spiritual light.

Lei Zhan is neither foolish nor arrogant. To attain enlightenment amidst life and death is no different from walking a tightrope between cliffs.

The most likely scenario is that he died and his Dao dissipated before he could comprehend the ultimate Dao of time and space in the face of life and death.

However, compared to other practitioners, Lei Zhan has a greater advantage.

That was the treasure that had accompanied him from his weakest days to his rise to power, though he used it less and less as his strength increased...

However, that was only because Lei Zhan's rise was too fast, while the speed at which the Enlightenment Pearl accumulated energy remained constant, so the number of times it could be used was getting less and less.

"The Way of Time and Space... Time and Space..."

A thousand thoughts flashed through Lei Zhan's mind, and countless insights into the Dao of Time and Space seemed to surge forth, converging at this moment and slowly piecing themselves together.

"After millions of years of cultivation within the Flowing Cloud Palace of the Universe, I have finally... broken through to the second level of the ultimate path!" Lei Zhan murmured to himself.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, Lei Zhan slammed out a palm strike!
