The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Time passes day by day.

At a speed ten thousand times faster than time itself, Lei Zhan focused intently on comprehending the array formations of the Sith civilization and the array restrictions on the broken stars.

Meanwhile, the main body was carefully analyzing the magic techniques in the Sith civilization, and the progress was not slow at all.

After all, the stone platform left by the Supreme Being inside the Qinghua Cave has an effect even on the Supreme Being.

While using the Supreme Stone Platform, the main body of the Demon King will also utilize the power within the Enlightenment Pearl.

Having spent nearly a billion years observing and comprehending the secret techniques of the two great civilizations in the Qinghua Cave, the Enlightenment Pearl had also accumulated energy for nearly a billion years.

Although it was used many times along the way, the energy accumulated in the end was still quite considerable.

Within the expanded Golden Core space, the once inconspicuous dark bead now shines with almost endless light, like a star.

In the blink of an eye, 100,000 years have passed.

……

In the endless void.

"Beihe, Fellow Daoist Wuchen has also gone with Master to comprehend the formation of those war weapons. I wonder how much longer it will take."

Emperor Dingyuan looked somewhat bored at the vast emptiness in the distance.

"Sith weapons are already extraordinary, and the weapons that the masters and their companions have comprehended are even more terrifying weapons of war. It is probably normal for their parameters to be in the thousands or tens of thousands of Chaos Eras."

Emperor Beihe shook his head and said, "After all, this weapon is not intact, and repairing or comprehending it will be more complicated and troublesome."

"indeed."

Emperor Dingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "We were too naive back then."

"This Sith war weapon... even if we were the first to discover it, it would be difficult to take this treasure away. Let alone repair and refine it... once the slightest word gets out, those rulers and emperors will swarm in, and then we may face endless pursuit."

“If your strength is insufficient, you won’t be able to convert this treasure into power immediately, which will naturally cause a lot of trouble.” Emperor Lieyang leaned closer. “Now that we are following our master, we also have the combat power of a ruler, which is much better than before.”

"Hmm," Emperor Dingyuan naturally understood this principle as well. "However, the fortune generated by this Sith war weapon is still too strong."

"It's already quite a coincidence that we were able to pass through such a remote and desolate place. But it's the same for these emperors who have stumbled in." Emperor Lieyang's voice was deep. "In just 100,000 years, two groups of emperors have already accidentally wandered into this place."

This void is quite remote in the entire Blazing Sun Domain. Yet, even so, some nearby emperors are still unconsciously drawn to it.

"Although these two groups of emperors are not very strong and their numbers are not large, we were able to keep them here immediately by cooperating with our master's mental power technique." Emperor Dingyuan's expression was solemn. "If this continues... we don't have much time left."

"Right now we are only Emperors. If we attract the Ruler in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee that the news will not be leaked," said Emperor Lieyang.

"It would be easy for Master and the five of us to kill an Emperor of average strength. But if one or two Sovereigns come, even with Master's help and the cosmic treasure recognizing its master, it would be very difficult to fight two against one..." Emperor Beihe was speaking when his voice suddenly stopped.

Wow~~~
In an instant, an invisible wave swept across, a terrifying wave that swept by like a mighty torrent, startling Emperor Dingyuan, Emperor Beihe, and the others.

"Huh? What's the noise?"

"What terrifying fluctuations..."

"That direction is near the master."

"Weapons of war? Could it be..."

They disregarded everything else and quickly moved closer to the giant star behind them.

……

"Rumble~~~"

A strange power belonging to 'space and time' swept across the sky and immediately spread out, engulfing all directions.

This strange, invisible force spread so quickly that it instantly enveloped an area spanning trillions of miles.

However, this strange power came fiercely and dissipated very quickly.

"So, this is the entirety of the Azure Sky Star Array Diagram."

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged in the void, sensing the strange power that posed a great threat to him, but his gaze was fixed ahead.

"With the Way of Water as its exterior and the Way of Fire as its interior, the core of the entire array is the Way of Chaos... The Sith's art of weapon crafting and the application of arrays are far more profound than those of cultivators."

Lei Zhan looked at the restrictions in front of him that seemed to flow like water, and sighed inwardly.

After ten thousand years of contemplation, the array and restrictions before him were already thoroughly understood by Lei Zhan.

The fluctuations caused by that terrifying and strange power were also the result of him reactivating the array restrictions of the entire war machine.

Once the array restrictions on this weapon of war can be activated, repairing it will be much simpler, just following the instructions.

The weapons and puppets created by the Sith are incredibly sophisticated and far superior to those of cultivators. Most of them possess regenerative abilities.

As long as the formation and restrictions remain intact, they will gradually recover over time.

Some powerful Sith puppets would even actively collect parts from other puppets to repair themselves. "Master, this array diagram... have you already comprehended it?" Emperor Wuchen, who was also sitting cross-legged in the void, was startled and opened his eyes.

She looked at Lei Zhan, her heart filled with horror. "How long has it been? He actually, he actually reactivated the array restrictions of this weapon of war? More than 40,000 years have passed, and I still can't even see through the outermost layer of the array restrictions..."

Although Emperor Wuchen was nearly 60,000 years late in comprehending the Sith Clan's array diagram because he helped refine his natal divine weapon, he was still working on it.

But in the rest of her life, she tried to comprehend the water-based array on the surface of the stars, but she only grasped a little bit of it, not even the basics.

Little did Emperor Wuchen know that if Lei Zhan had not viewed the vast collection of Sith formation inheritances gathered by Supreme Qi, it would have been extremely difficult for a cultivator to comprehend the Sith's formation techniques.

Only those exceptionally talented and powerful individuals have the opportunity to comprehend even a fraction of it.

"I can barely say I've grasped it," Lei Zhan said with a smile.

"Barely comprehended?" Emperor Wuchen was taken aback.

"The formation we've been studying is actually divided into three parts," Lei Zhan said, his gaze lingering.

"Of these three parts, the outermost water array is the easiest, while the innermost fire array is slightly more difficult. The most obscure and difficult to comprehend is actually the chaos array at the very core."

"I have only thoroughly understood the water and fire array diagrams so far. As for the most core chaos array diagram, I have only grasped it superficially and can only be said to have barely mastered it." Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed.

It is extremely difficult to fully comprehend the core chaotic array diagram within this weapon of war.

Compared to the outer water and fire formations, the difficulty is worlds apart.

If Lei Zhan wanted to achieve complete comprehension, even with the help of the Supreme Stone Platform and the Enlightenment Pearl, the time required would be at least tens of millions of years. Keep in mind that this is under the condition of activating the ten-thousand-fold time acceleration!
Clearly, the time left for Lei Zhan is insufficient for him to slowly comprehend it. After all, several groups of emperors have already been drawn to this void by the treasure.

It is foreseeable that if it takes too long, more powerful beings will likely come here under the guidance of destiny.

"However, although I only skimmed through the core chaotic array diagram, I still have the ability to put the scattered parts around this weapon back together. At least refining it is no longer a problem," Lei Zhan said with a smile.

"This weapon of war can be refined now?" Emperor Dingyuan and the others who rushed over upon hearing the news also showed joy on their faces.

If they refine this weapon of war, they will have a great deal of room to maneuver, whether they leave immediately or stay here.

“Hmm, I’ll give it a try.” Lei Zhan stood up, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings. Around him, numerous pieces of debris floated, like a vast ocean.

"Is it about to begin?" Emperor Wuchen and the others watched with considerable tension.

Lei Zhan observed carefully for a full cup of tea's time.

Whoop, whoop, whoop.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Zhan sent several pieces of broken parts flying into his hand. The largest of these broken parts was the size of a millstone, while the smallest was only the size of an egg.

"Click, click, click!" Several components were stacked and embedded into different parts of the star.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the entire shattered planet began to slowly rotate, but at an extremely slow pace, almost like a tortoise's snail. Compared to the rest of the cosmos, it was pitifully slow.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan's eyes lit up.

The shapes and functions of the remaining usable broken parts around him had long been memorized.

"Go! Go! Go!"

“Hua La La~~~~”

In an instant, a large number of fragmented parts that were floating around gathered together like water, and then separated in perfect harmony, each beginning to embed itself into the stars.

Soon, as each component was filled in, the huge star that had looked dilapidated became complete.

"It's fixed! It's fixed!"

"Master's actions are truly extraordinary!"

"This is the real treasure! Such a massive weapon of war is probably in no way inferior to the Houwu City of the Fifth City Lord!"

The successfully repaired giant star began to emit waves of terrifying aura that sent chills down the spines of those who watched. Even Emperor Dingyuan and the others were full of praise.

“Just one last step.” Lei Zhan smiled, and with a flick of his hand, a cyan sphere with chains binding its surface appeared in his palm.

This cyan sphere was naturally the one that Lei Zhan obtained from Chen Shui Dao Jun.

Although Daoist Chenshui was lucky enough to acquire one of the five core components of this weapon of war, he never managed to master it.

Little did they know that this treasure was actually just the core of the weapon, and it could only unleash its full power when placed inside the weapon.

"Go." Lei Zhan casually tossed the treasure in his hand, and the cyan sphere instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the stars and merging into them without a trace.

Boom! ! !

The entire star began to tremble, and at the same time, a channel radiating a seven-colored rainbow appeared, extending into the interior of the star.
