The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Endless darkness...

There were no stars, no light, nothing at all.

Pure darkness! A darkness that instills despair in even the Eternal Emperors.

In the endless darkness, far from the Blazing Sun Domain, an ancient-looking interdimensional flying boat drifted forward.

On this interdimensional flying ship, there were more than ten figures, some sitting cross-legged, others drinking and chatting.

These figures all exuded a powerful aura, and almost all of them were black-clad emperors who had undergone a self-sacrifice ritual.

"General."

A somewhat gaunt emperor in black robes walked toward the front deck of the domain airship.

There stood a figure whose entire body seemed to be cast in gold.

His entire body was golden, and the aura he exuded far surpassed that of those black-clad emperors.

"What is it?" The Wolf Lord turned his head and glanced at the gaunt, black-clad emperor, his voice icy.

"General." The gaunt, black-clad emperor bowed respectfully. "We have just received news that the Daoist who obtained the Sith war weapons is named Daoist Guiyi."

"Two million years ago, Dao Lord Guiyi clashed with City Lord Houwu of the Blazing Sun Domain. City Lord Houwu tried to seize the treasure, but was directly killed by Dao Lord Guiyi himself."

"Even Houwu City, the city of Houwu, has been taken over by that Lord Guiyi."

"Hmm? Two million years ago?" The Wolf Lord frowned, and the other black-clad emperors around him were also very surprised.

"Two million years ago, we had only just left the Sirius Domain, and Lord Guiyi had only recently obtained the Sith Clan's treasure. Yet he went directly to Houwu City? And even clashed with the city lord of Houwu City?"

In the chaotic universe, news travels extremely slowly. Yet, the Wolf Lord is very familiar with the renowned powerhouses of the universe.

For example, the Fifth City Lord Hou, whose strength was only average, became much more difficult to deal with than ordinary alien universe lords after obtaining a Sith war weapon. He was actually killed by a mere Dao Lord.

"Yes." The gaunt, black-clad emperor nodded. "We have received news that Lord Guiyi has some extraordinary fortuitous encounter, and his speed in refining the Sith war weapons is extremely fast. In just a thousand years, he has completely refined and taken control of Houwu City, which was left behind by Lord Houwu City."

The scene of Lei Zhan refining the five cities was witnessed by thousands of Sovereigns and Emperors, and the news spread throughout the eight major source domains and the surrounding domains.

The Frozen Legion squads under the Wolf Lord, including the gaunt, black-clad Emperor, had been patrolling various parts of the Chaos Universe and naturally received this news.

"You've acquired two Sith war weapons?" The Wolf Lord's gaze turned cold, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

How could a mere fourth-step Dao Lord possess the strength to kill a powerful individual who also wielded Sith war weapons?
Not only that, but now they have acquired another powerful Sith war weapon...

It's true that the Frozen Legion is powerful; they even killed several of the Lords of the Other Universe.

Even among the rulers of different universes, there are distinctions of rank.

Those who possess an alternate universe are merely of average strength among the rulers of those alternate universes.

However, if they possess a powerful weapon of war, like Lord Dafeng of the Sixteen Realms Alliance, they would be an extremely terrifying force.

Most importantly, all the weapons of war within the Frozen Legion are controlled by the supreme leader, His Majesty the Lonely.

For Wolf Lord and his team, crushing an ordinary alien lord would be easy.

However, even leading a full force of twelve black-clad emperors, he was not confident in facing an existence with powerful weapons of war.

"Do you have any more specific information?" The Wolf Lord's cold golden eyes swept over the gaunt, black-clad emperor.

"General, the message is still being relayed. More specific details will have to wait for my second primordial spirit to find out." The gaunt, black-clad emperor said respectfully.

"Hmm." The Wolf Lord nodded lightly, his gaze returning to the endless darkness in the distance. "Find out the details thoroughly, and it would be best to know the specifics."

"Yes," said the gaunt, black-clad emperor.

moment.

"This...this is so monstrous?" The gaunt, black-clad emperor looked at the Wolf Lord in astonishment.

"General, that Lord Guiyi is... quite extraordinary."

"A mere fourth-step Dao Lord can rival a ruler, and has even fought in close combat with the Fifth City Lord Hou."

"After killing City Lord Hou Wu, he used that war weapon that was very similar to Qingyang Star to kill four other universe lords and a ruler who was very close to being a other universe lord."

“A Dao Lord is comparable to a Sovereign; I’m afraid this Dao Lord Guiyi’s success is more than just good luck.” The Wolf Lord remained silent for a moment.

"It seems that what Guiyi Daojun comprehended is the legendary ultimate Dao, and there must be some other encounters involved."

Silence. A long silence filled the entire spaceship.

The Wolf Lord was very unwilling. He originally had the opportunity to take a powerful Sith war weapon for himself, but who would have thought that a mere Dao Lord would have such strength?
Most Dao Lords are madmen, and now that this Dao Lord Guiyi possesses two Sith war weapons, he is even more terrifying.

If he were to rashly lead these black-clad emperors under his command to attack the Blazing Sun Domain, it is foreseeable that there is a very high probability that they will not return.

It wasn't until much later that the Wolf Lord broke the silence.

His cold gaze swept over the dozen or so black-clad emperors on the flying boat, and he said softly:
"This Lord Guiyi will likely be difficult to deal with with our Icebound Legion alone."

"It seems we must ask His Majesty for a decision."

……

Within the City of Guiyi in the Blazing Sun Domain.

"The fourth method, comparable to the level of the lords of the eight holy cities, has finally been created."

Lei Zhan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction in them. The test left by the Supreme Being required him to create ten secret techniques comparable to those of the Lords of the Eight Great Holy Cities in order to obtain some of the treasures left behind.

Now, countless years have passed, and Lei Zhan has finally created the fourth method.

Of the four methods that have been created, the first one is the secret technique of the spacetime path, "Spacetime Annihilation".

The second part is the "Origin Heart Canon" created by Lei Zhan himself. Long before Lei Zhan fought with Lord Hou Wu, he created the sixth move, "Blazing Sun".

If it were the Heart Sword Technique, it would be at the fourth level, comparable to the thirteenth form of the Heart Sword Technique.

However, compared to the methods created by the Heart Sword Emperor, the Origin Heart Scripture, which takes the ultimate spacetime path as its core and comprehends a large number of secret techniques for the unity of three forces, is more powerful.

Even though he has only just entered the fourth level, his power is already at the level of the lords of the eight holy cities.

The third part, "Ultimate Time and Space," contains the spacetime path that Lei Zhan himself has reached at the fourth level.

The fourth part is a method of array formations. It is a creation of Lei Zhan, who gathered the essence of a large number of array formations from the cultivator civilization and the Sith civilization, and finally combined them with his own insights.

While refining the two great weapons of war, he comprehended a large number of Sith formations and the core formation diagrams of the two great weapons of war. His accumulation in the formation path was very close to the level of the master.

The array formation techniques he created naturally reached the level of the Eighth Level Master.

Composing himself, Lei Zhan revealed a slight smile.

"Hmm? He's still in seclusion cultivating?"

As the master of Guiyi City, Lei Zhan had complete control over everything within the city. Naturally, he could also clearly perceive everything within the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside a side hall of the city lord's mansion, a woman in feathered robes was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, clearly completely immersed in cultivation.

"Two million years have passed, and the aura emanating from Nuwa has only grown stronger. After witnessing my Dao, it must have greatly moved her."

Lei Zhan's gaze fell on Nuwa, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

When he passed down his ultimate time-space Dao, Nuwa began to meditate in seclusion.

This enlightenment took a full two million years.

"In the end, I wonder if Nuwa will be able to reach the ultimate path." Lei Zhan secretly hoped.

Nuwa's talent and comprehension are among the best of all the geniuses in the Three Realms.

However, the ultimate path is the most powerful path in the universe, and it is not something that can be comprehended simply by wishing to.

Opportunity, talent, and even a heart that yearns for the Way are all indispensable.

And even if we could do all that, there would only be a sliver of hope.

Although the ultimate method has been passed down, the master's teaching does not guarantee that the disciple will be able to learn it.

The only way to develop a team is to teach according to the individual student's abilities!

Because every Dao Lord of Life and Death will comprehend their own Dao.

"The ultimate path cannot be taught. It can only be comprehended by oneself!" Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed.

All she could do was offer some guidance; the ultimate path to becoming the Dao Lord of Life and Death was still up to Nuwa herself to walk.

After all, not everyone can possess a heaven-defying treasure for enlightenment like I do.

Lei Zhan withdrew his gaze, stood up, and walked out of the main hall with considerable ease.

"Owner."

As soon as they stepped out of the palace gate, a white-robed man with a Daoist aura and a somewhat thin appearance came to greet them.

The man in white was overjoyed: "Master, have you finished your cultivation?"

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded slightly. "Armadillo, a million years ago, the ruler of your clan wanted to join my Guiyi City. Has he already arrived in the Blazing Sun Domain?"

"Reporting to Master," the Armadillo Daoist said respectfully, "After the Changli Sovereign decided to follow you, he immediately traveled from the Qingcang Domain to this place by domain airship. He finally arrived 30,000 years ago and has now settled down in the city."

"Did it arrive 30,000 years ago?"

Lei Zhan nodded slightly, then instructed, "Since he has arrived, let him come directly to the City Lord's Mansion. I will wait for him here."

"Yes." The Armadillo Daoist Lord, his face beaming with joy, respectfully withdrew. He went to escort the Changli Sovereign, who was originally an ancient cultivator.

“Changli Ruler…” Lei Zhan watched the departing figure of the Armadillo Daoist, his gaze lingering.

Two million years is a very short time for a cultivator; even a casual period of seclusion could take longer. Yet, it can still change many things.

Over the past two million years, news of Lei Zhan, the Lord of Guiyi City, has spread throughout the eight major source domains, and naturally, many Eternal Emperors have come to pledge allegiance to him.

Several first-level emperors, whose strength was comparable to that of the lords of the eight holy cities, came to Guiyi City. However, after Lei Zhan conducted an inspection, he only kept one of them.

Although he wanted to make the best use of the black-robed emperors and golden-robed emperors under his command, he did not recruit just any cultivator.

The first-level emperor named Dongming Emperor was kept by Lei Zhan because he was quite reliable.

"This Changli ruler is an ancient cultivator, and his strength is quite good among the many rulers."

Lei Zhan pondered to himself, "If I could transform into a Golden-Clad Emperor, I would be a rather troublesome type among the Lords of the Other Universe, which would also be of some use to me."
