The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One by one, figures transformed into streaks of light and obediently flew out of Houwu City.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand...

Soon, the void surrounding Houwu City was occupied by sovereign emperors exuding an aura of eternity.

"Ten breaths, and the vast majority have emerged." A voice rang out in the void, a voice that was quite calm.

"Hmm?" All the emperors and rulers looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man dressed in a golden robe slowly walked out, holding a black spear in his left hand and a tiny star the size of a human head in his right.

The tiny star rotated slowly, emitting powerful waves.

This golden-robed youth was none other than Lei Zhan, who had just killed City Lord Hou Wu.

Lei Zhan's gaze swept across the surroundings, but finally stopped on Hou Wucheng in the distance, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Stubborn to the end."

"This is……"

"Are there still rulers or emperors within the city who haven't emerged?"

"They've got some nerve. How dare they provoke this scourge?"

"The Cold Bone Overlord, the Raging Wind Blade Sovereign, the Black Rock Overlord... This is certainly going to be a good show!"

"I wonder how Daojun will deal with Han Gu and the others..."

One by one, the emperors and rulers looked back, their divine thoughts surging, enveloping the entire Houwu City.

Under their divine sense, everything became crystal clear, instantly giving them much to ponder.

“Five sovereign emperors…” Lei Zhan whispered.

"It seems that killing one city lord, Hou Wu, is not enough to suppress the greed of these sovereign emperors for treasures."

Wow.

Take a step forward.

In an instant, the golden-robed youth holding a long spear and carrying a tiny star vanished into thin air.

……

In Hou Wucheng.

Three figures were standing inside a cave.

These are the few rulers who are still stationed in Houwu City.

"Lord of Cold Bones, are we really not going to leave Houwu City as that Dao Lord said?"

"You should know that Daojun even killed the Fifth City Lord Hou directly, let alone you and me?"

"The other universe is not as fortified as Houwu City."

A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the tall, humanoid being covered in flowing crimson magma.

Beside him was a thin man with two pairs of black wings carrying a long sword, and a strange woman covered in a layer of skeletal armor.

"That Dao Lord only relies on the power of war weapons to unleash such terrifying methods. The price he has to pay is not small."

The thin man carrying a long sword frowned and transmitted his voice, "Even the Fifth City Lord Hou Wu had to ask us for help to maintain Hou Wu City's operations. How many treasures could a mere Dao Lord possibly have?"

“As long as we don’t go out, Daojun will definitely enter Houwu City, and that will be our opportunity,” the skeletal, eerie woman transmitted her voice.

"If we can make the first move, we might not only have Houwu City to our advantage, but we might even be able to get our hands on that Dao Lord's war weapons!"

Their cave dwelling was closest to the core area of ​​Houwu City, giving them a significant advantage.

Huhu.

Suddenly, two more streaks of light flew over from afar.

"That Hou Wu is also a piece of trash. He actually fell into the hands of a Dao Lord." One of the two flying figures, an old man in a golden robe with three eyes, shook his head and said.

“Exactly! We have traversed the universe for countless chaotic eras, how could we be frightened by a mere Dao Lord’s few words? He’s the city lord? What a joke!” Another alien ruler sneered.

"Alright, Lord Di Chen and Lord Huang Mu have arrived as well. Everyone is here." The thin man carrying a long sword, Lord Han Gu, smiled.

"Four of us possess other universes. And Lord Huangmu also has a powerful Sith treasure. If we kill that Fourth-Step Dao Lord and divide the treasure among ourselves, our strength will greatly increase!"

They all looked down on the Fifth City Lord Hou, who died a miserable death.

He possessed a powerful weapon of war, yet he was killed by a mere Dao Lord...

If it were them, they would probably have already obtained that stellar war weapon.

It was this idea that brought them together.

suddenly--

"To divide the treasure equally?" a cold voice rang out.

Before the words were finished, Lei Zhan appeared out of thin air, holding a gun in one hand and a tiny star in the other.

The tiny black stars emitted a hazy glow, and streaks of black light instantly lit up.

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"

A terrifying aura of destruction spread out, followed by a black light mixed with countless rays of light that swept through space and instantly arrived in front of each of the rulers.

"boom!"

Vast power erupted.

Just like the darkness before dawn, suddenly the first ray of sunlight tears through the darkness and illuminates the earth.

This ray of sunlight also illuminated the hearts of Black Rock Overlord, Wildwood Overlord, and the others!

"Do not--"

"Block it for me!"

"No, don't kill me!"

The Black Rock Overlord and several other Overlords all showed fear in their eyes.

The moment this incredible and terrifying power was first revealed, they were filled with nothing but endless fear!

Even if they were truly facing death, their minds wouldn't be so terrified. But the power of the God-Slaying Spear instilled fear in them involuntarily; it was a biological instinct.

But when Canglan Star unleashes its full power, its might is astonishing.

Moreover, once the base is established, there is naturally an absolute certainty of success.

When they strike, it's as swift as lightning.

“Puff puff puff~~~”

In an instant, the three rulers frantically resisted, but were instantly reduced to ashes by the full force of Canglan Star's attack.

"Block! Block!"

"Damn it, this Dao Lord actually has so many treasures to activate war weapons!"

It sounds slow, but it all happens in an instant.

The Cold Bone Overlord and the Wrathful Wind Blade Sovereign, who were a little further away, also had drastic changes in expression.

Their combined strength was far greater; their comprehension of the Dao alone rivaled that of a master of another universe, allowing them to summon their own universes to defend themselves. While the power of an other universe, comparable to a domain, is terrifying, it depends on the comparison.

It was incredibly fragile in the face of the God-Slaying Spear, which was formed by consuming a large number of treasures from Canglan Star.

boom! boom!
The Spear of Godslaying descended one after another, piercing through the entire alien universe the moment it touched it, and then its terrifying power slammed directly into the bodies of the Cold Bone Overlord and the Wrathful Wind Blade Sovereign.

"Die!" Lei Zhan's eyes turned cold.

call out!call out!
Two more God-Slaying Spears flew out from Canglan Star, whistling as they enveloped the two rulers.

……

In the vast emptiness outside Houwu City.

The divine senses of those rulers and emperors who obediently remained outside the city continued to shroud the entire Houwu City.

The moment Lei Zhan disappeared, they vaguely understood something in their hearts.

That Daojun has probably already stormed into Houwu City.

While thinking.

Suddenly, their expressions changed.

Terrifying waves erupted from within Houwu City. Although the Spear of Godslayer was not aimed at them, it stirred up a tremendous storm in their hearts.

"Huh? They've started fighting!"

"This overwhelming killing intent means Han Gu and the others are in for a rough time!"

"This...this method...is it really going to kill Black Rock and the other four at the same time?"

"This Dao Lord has quite a few treasures! It's a pity that the legendary ultimate Dao Lord is too troublesome."

The rulers and emperors were either surprised or shocked, but they all stood by and watched quietly.

After all, with that Dao Lord's methods, unless hundreds of Sovereigns and Lords of other universes joined forces at once, it would be impossible to withstand that terrifying method.

……

Inside the cave dwelling of Hou Wucheng.

Lei Zhan controls the Azure Star, unleashing the power of the Spear of Godslayer.

Boom boom——

Two long black beams, brimming with endless brilliance, roared and shattered space and time.

The Cold Bone Overlord and the Wrathful Wind Blade Sovereign were also trembling with fear.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, Black Rock! I completely overestimated Black Rock and his group's strength. I also completely underestimated this Dao Lord's foundation." The Cold Bone Overlord was filled with hatred, anger, and resentment.

"What extraordinary encounter did this monster have to possess such a monstrous treasure? Even my alternate universe, enhanced by my numerous treasures, cannot withstand this spear."

A semi-transparent bottle appeared out of thin air in the palm of the Cold Bone Master, containing a crystal-clear water droplet.

The Cold Bone Master felt a pang of heartache; this was an ancient treasure he had obtained through countless years of adventures, and it was his most important life-saving item.

He never expected that this rare treasure would be wasted because of a mere Dao Lord.

Snapped.

The bottle was crushed by the Frostbone Overlord, and the water droplets inside immediately burst forth with a gentle, hazy light, enveloping the Frostbone Overlord.

"No, no, how could I, Nufeng, die here? Impossible!" Nufeng Blade Master instantly produced two rare treasures in his hands, and without caring about the pain, he crushed them in an instant.

As the two extraordinary treasures shattered, two forces manifested, attempting to influence the surrounding spacetime and alter the relentless thrusts of the God-Slaying Spear.

"Escape? Can you escape?" Lei Zhan saw all of this, and the power of the God-Slaying Spear suddenly erupted.

"boom!!!"

The Spear of Godslayer suddenly fell.

Time and space stand still, and everything is invincible.

This time, without the resistance of the other universe, it directly struck the Cold Wind Overlord, who was shrouded in a hazy light, and directly hit the body of the Wrathful Wind Blade Sovereign.

Their means of survival were shattered by the endless, domineering, and mighty spear, while the two rulers, Cold Bone and Wrathful Wind, were like snow melting in the sunlight, instantly disappearing under this terrifying black spear.

Everything inside the cave vanished, and the five rulers instantly turned into nothingness.

"Hmph." Lei Zhan sneered, "Compared to the deaths of these rulers of other universes, those outside will be more obedient."

Clearly, expending a large amount of treasures to kill these five rulers was a move to make an example of them.

Even if Lei Zhan himself was very familiar with the Sith's array formations and restrictions, it would still take him a lot of time to refine Hou Wucheng.

Even with a time acceleration of ten thousand times, it would still take a hundred years to refine.

If those ruling emperors harbor ulterior motives, things will become even more troublesome over the next hundred years.

“No wonder he provoked us just now.” Lei Zhan’s gaze fell on the air, where some obviously broken treasures were suspended, and several alien universes that looked like planets were floating.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Zhan collected the treasures and relics left behind by the five rulers. As for the two intact alien universes and the two almost destroyed alien universes, he simply left them where they were.

"It's simply impossible for a Daoist Lord to refine an alien universe with his magical power."

"It would be good to let Dingyuan and Wuchen take over. When we return to the Three Realms and our masters achieve Dao, it will greatly increase the strength of the Three Realms." This thought flashed through Lei Zhan's mind, and then he stopped worrying about it.

The most important thing now is to directly refine this Houwu City.

Wow.

In an instant, Lei Zhan vanished from the cave dwelling and went directly into the core central area of ​​Hou Wucheng.

……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ! ! !
Four streaks of black light flew out from Hou Wucheng and then appeared out of thin air in the vast void around Hou Wucheng.

These four figures were all dark-skinned and tall and imposing, each a full 108,000 feet tall. They were the followers and servants of the leader.

"Emperor Dingyuan, Emperor Beihe, you lot are quite lucky to have followed such a prodigy," a ruler who was somewhat familiar with Emperor Dingyuan said with a smile.

"It's just some chance and good fortune." Emperor Dingyuan smiled slightly, offering no further explanation.

They received numerous benefits after following their master, Lei Zhan.

Previously, this ruler was extremely arrogant, and would never have greeted him with a smile and spoken to him.

"Beihe, has everything settled down in the city? I wonder if your master will still open Houwu City? There's only one city for cultivators in the entire Blazing Sun Domain..." A Lord of Another Universe asked curiously.

"Everyone," Emperor Beihe said, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Sovereigns who were all somewhat curious. He shook his head and said, "I, a mere follower, am not sure what Master intends to do. However, those who wish to stay will probably have no choice but to wait patiently."

"This..." The Lord of the Other Universe shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself. "Waiting? This Beihe is truly different now. Back then, he had to be extremely respectful to me, but now, following such a monstrous Dao Lord, he's full of confidence!"

Just as Emperor Dingyuan and his companions were guarding Houwu City, the waiting Sovereign Emperors began to depart.

Hou Wucheng's fate is clear, and it is temporarily impossible for him to cultivate in seclusion in Hou Wucheng, so some arrogant rulers and emperors are too lazy to stay any longer.

Of course, there were also sovereigns and emperors like Ancestor Fengtong and Emperor Yuhong patiently waiting. They also wanted to get to know Dao Lords who could easily slay masters of other universes.

Time slowly passed, and a thousand years went by in the blink of an eye.
