The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"court death!"

"Brother Guiyi, don't listen..."

"Master, please..."

When the terrifyingly enticing voice of Duobo'o rang out, both the Qiyang God Emperor sitting not far from Lei Zhan and the Changli Ruler following behind Lei Zhan changed their expressions.

But then, a look of confusion appeared in their eyes.

The methods of the Supreme Being are terrifying, and although Dopooro was suppressed by the origin of the entire universe, his understanding of the Dao and his methods are still at the Supreme level.

His voice echoed through the heart of the fire-filled area, completely enveloping it.

Although most of its power was aimed at the base, even so, the small amount of power that was easily dispersed was enough to affect several people.

"Hahaha." Dopo looked at the few somewhat silent figures in the distance and suddenly burst into a somewhat manic laugh.

"You're not even at the peak of your Dao heart, yet you're so easily swayed by me... Eternal Dao Integration? Hahaha!"

"To personally annihilate a monstrous talent of a cultivator civilization... what a wonderful feeling. Even the pain of being tortured seems to have lessened considerably."

Dopo's blue eyes stared at the endless flames above, filled with hatred, before he uttered a weary whisper:

"Yes. Begin to merge with the Dao..."

"Lord Guiyi is right before me. Show me your Dao Integration..."

"He Dao..." Lei Zhan was somewhat bewildered, seemingly completely influenced by this terrifying temptation.

In an instant, the aura around him began to fluctuate.

……

In the Flame Dragon Domain, at the Azure Flower Cave.

"not good!"

Lei Zhan, who was sitting cross-legged on the supreme stone platform, suddenly changed his expression.

"The methods of this Sith Lord are still so terrifying even after being suppressed by the array restrictions left by the Supreme Beings?"

Lei Zhan possesses both a true body and a second primordial spirit, and his self-created 'Origin Heart Scripture' is very close to the fourteenth form of the Heart Sword Technique, just one step away from the perfection of the Dao Heart. Yet even so...

Lei Zhan frowned deeply. "Although my second primordial spirit can still retain a trace of clarity, if it continues to be tempted, I'm afraid I will really have to merge with the Dao on the Earth Fire Continent."

"No, if this continues, I will die, I will die."

Lei Zhan understood that the second primordial spirit, now under the influence of Duobo'e, was like a small boat in a stormy sea.

Each time he resisted, he felt as if he were teetering on the edge of life and death. Before long, the last vestige of consciousness in his second primordial spirit would be submerged by the almost endless waves.

He himself would be influenced and immediately begin to attain enlightenment.

The union with the Dao refers to the union of the main body and the second primordial spirit.

My Dao heart is not yet complete, and even my many insights into the Dao have not reached the most perfect level.

If one were to align with the Dao, defeat would be inevitable!
"No, absolutely not."

"I want to become an eternal being who has attained the Dao! I want to break through and become a supreme being!"

"I have not yet reached the very pinnacle of the entire chaotic universe."

"I haven't truly... achieved freedom yet!"

A myriad of thoughts surged within me, sweeping through like a howling wind.

An incomparably strong will erupted from the accumulated soul and true spirit. This will was incredibly powerful, originating from the power of the mind.

"boom!"

It was as if something shattered in an instant.

In an instant, Lei Zhan's eyes suddenly changed.

The eyes that once reflected the stars are now filled with longing.

The yearning for eternal union with the Dao, the yearning to achieve supreme status, even the yearning to become the ultimate controller...

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

"Give it to me...break it!"

……

"To merge with the Dao..."

"Give me……"

"have a look……"

At the core of the Earthfire Continent, the voice of the Sith Lord Doboo still echoed in Lei Zhan's ears.

But suddenly—

boom! ! !
A terrifying power suddenly erupted from Lei Zhan's body. It was an incomparably strong will that instantly broke through the shackles formed by the temptations.

Suddenly, a vast projection of the world of the heart appeared around Lei Zhan, who had been looking somewhat lost.

At the same time, endless spatial and temporal forces surged, golden light rippled, beautiful and magnificent, yet possessing a breathtaking power.

Origin of the Heart Sutra, Seventh Form.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Endless flames surged forth, instantly creating turbulent waves.

Lei Zhan's eyes trembled slightly, as he tried to break free from this terrifying temptation.

"Huh? This is..."

Dopo, filled with hatred and madness, suddenly frowned. "Has your Dao heart made a breakthrough? Although it hasn't reached the perfect level, it has managed to break free from my delusions. I'm afraid it's not far from taking the final step."

Dopo's eyesight is so sharp that he could easily detect it with just one glance.

"Something interesting."

Although the path that Dopooro took was not the strongest ultimate path in the universe, how many simple paths could lead to supreme power?

A Dao Lord, under his influence, can not only break free from his spells but also advance their Dao heart to a higher level...

"So, I've personally helped create a prodigy?"

Influencing cultivators within a radius of tens of millions of miles through words was already the limit of what he could achieve. The array's suppression of him was comprehensive.

“However…” Dopo looked at the golden-robed Daoist whose eyes were gradually regaining their clarity, his expression enigmatic, “Although we didn’t crush this little insect, if we could plant a seed…”

"Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, I will also see the day of liberation..."

……

"call."

Lei Zhan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at the Sith Lord in the distance with a solemn expression.

"So close, so very close."

"It's really scary."

"Indeed, every Supreme Being is not to be underestimated. And this Doboo is one of the most skilled in illusion among the Sith Lords."

Despite making considerable preparations for this close-up look at the Sith Lord, and having some understanding of him imprisoned in the Blazing Sun Domain, Lei Zhan still inadvertently fell into a trap.

Until now——

Lei Zhan's gaze swept around, and he saw that the strongest Qi Yang God Emperor had a ferocious expression and was struggling frantically.

As for the Lord of Qushan, a follower of the Changli Sovereign and the Qiyang God Emperor, there was still a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"This Duobo'er's mastery of illusion is indeed terrifying. No wonder he can directly influence Ji Ning, who has perfected his Dao Heart and mastered the ultimate eternal sword path," Lei Zhan thought to himself.

"Although I have made many preparations for this, when I actually face such a being..."

"Even though this Sith Lord has been imprisoned by the Supremes and his abilities have been restricted in various ways, he is still not someone I can easily resist in my current state."

Lei Zhan also felt a lingering fear. If he had truly been affected by these multiple waves of Russian influence, the consequences could have been fatal for him.

After all, although Ji Ning failed to achieve Dao Integration, he completely mastered the Ultimate Eternal Sword Dao, and his strength was comparable to that of a Supreme Being. Even though his True Spirit was in a state of constant disintegration, he still had the power to create more possibilities.

However, it is difficult to replicate this path.

After all, for him now, the most likely outcome is that he will end up like those ultimate Dao Lords who failed to achieve Dao in the past, waiting for his true spirit to dissipate and his body and Dao to vanish.

"If Duobo'er hadn't been imprisoned, and if I hadn't been so close to the seventh form of the Origin Heart Sutra... I probably would have been directly hit."

"However... it was precisely because of this stimulation that I turned misfortune into blessing and took another step closer to the perfection of my Dao heart." Lei Zhan suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind and suddenly revealed a smile.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Practitioners are relatively more likely to break through barriers when facing life and death.

It is because in the face of life and death, the great fear will cause the soul and true spirit to naturally enter a special state, in which it is easier to have a sudden enlightenment and breakthrough.

Lei Zhan not only faced the brink of life and death, but also yearned for eternal harmony with the Tao and for success.

This strong will and intense emotion naturally led to a breakthrough in his Dao heart.

"Only with an even more fervent will can the power of the mind, the power of the spirit, and the power of magic be combined to a higher degree, and only then can a more powerful secret technique of the unity of the three powers be created."

"Only a more terrifying life-or-death crisis can make my Dao heart more perfect."

Lei Zhan had a sudden realization.

"What keeps me moving forward is the desire to take control of my own destiny and see a higher view."

Lei Zhan sensed the changes in his own Dao heart and thought to himself:

"The seventh move of the Origin Heart Classic... this move is called 'Floating Life'."
