The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"That is……"

"The Sith Lord has attacked Lord Guiyi and his group? The impact is...so widespread?"

"A trick similar to illusion. This Sith Lord is truly vicious, actually trying to make Daoist Guiyi reconcile with the Dao on the spot?"

Other cultivators in the distance, and even some of the strange beings responsible for guarding the area, watched in astonishment.

This is the first time the Sith Lord, imprisoned here, has used illusionary techniques.

When they make a move, it's nothing; but when they do, it's earth-shattering.

"This method of bewitching people is terrifying."

"Fortunately, both Guiyi Daojun and Qiyang Divine Emperor possess strong Dao hearts. If it were someone with an average Dao heart, that cultivator would probably not hesitate at all to commit suicide."

Those practitioners were secretly alarmed.

In the past, when the Sith Lord made a move, although it felt powerful and terrifying, there were still clues to follow.

But this time, the fear they felt was even greater! After all, in the entire chaotic universe, the mental energy flow method was the most difficult to defend against.

……

"call."

"It's too powerful. Just the sound alone was enough to trap me in an illusion..."

Qi Yang Divine Emperor broke free from his daze, a look of horror appearing in his eyes.

"This Sith Lord is probably very skilled in the art of illusion; it's a technique at the Supreme level."

Emperor Qiyang was shocked; only those who had experienced it firsthand knew the power of this method.

Even someone like Emperor Qiyang, who had cultivated for countless years and whose Dao heart was among the strongest, still seemed like a naive child in the face of such methods.

"Only those with a perfectly perfect Dao heart, like the Supreme Beings, can remain unaffected." Emperor Qiyang shook his head inwardly. "Fortunately, I managed to break free in the end."

suddenly.

"Brother Qiyang." A voice echoed in the ears of Emperor Qiyang.

“Brother Guiyi.” Emperor Qiyang turned his head and immediately revealed a smile. “Brother, you are truly remarkable. The Sith Lord was mainly targeting you, yet you were still able to break free from this temptation before I did.”

Although Emperor Qiyang was influenced by the Sith Lord Doboo, he was still aware of everything happening around him.

They are naturally very clear about what is happening around them.

"Just lucky. I almost fell for it." Lei Zhan was also somewhat relieved. If he hadn't prepared some methods beforehand, and if the Origin Heart Scripture hadn't also broken through, he probably...

"Although it is somewhat dangerous, if you really break free, it will be of great benefit to tempering your Dao heart." Emperor Qiyang said with a smile. "After all, it is not easy to get a supreme being to personally help you temper your Dao heart."

"Hahaha." Lei Zhan laughed as well. "There is great terror between life and death. Although this time was dangerous, I also gained some benefits. My Dao heart is becoming more and more perfect."

"The Dao Heart is Perfected..." Emperor Qiyang sighed deeply.

The phrase "perfected Dao heart" is just four short words, but how difficult it is to achieve this. After all, to break through and become a Supreme Being, one must first achieve a perfect Dao heart.

Emperor Qiyang's expression was complicated, but his gaze was fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged in the distance, which was completely enveloped by countless fire formations.

"Once Qu Shan and the others wake up, let's head to the Supreme Ruins," said the Divine Emperor Qi Yang slowly.

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded slightly.

The Sith Lord had also met him, and even benefited from the misfortune, which strengthened his resolve. He was about to leave as well.

For the team, the most important thing right now is to prepare for the right path.

However, viewing the Dao left behind by the two supreme beings before achieving Dao can make one more certain of achieving Dao.

……

"Wow."

The Quyang warships sailed through the endless darkness.

Inside the warship, the rulers of Changli and Qushan stood silently guarding each other, while the God Emperor Qiyang slowly sipped a pot of fine wine, and Lei Zhan held a jade slip in his hand, examining it.

The jade slip was taken out by the Divine Emperor Qiyang, and it naturally contained all the information he knew related to the Supreme Ruins.

"Heavenly Abyss Divine Kingdom, Ten Thousand Winds Fire Hell." Lei Zhan silently examined the information within the jade slip.

The Heavenly Abyss Divine Kingdom was founded by Emperor Heavenly Abyss, whose strength and status were comparable to those of Emperor Qiyang.

Under his command, there are nearly thirty domains under his control, and there are over a hundred rulers and lords of other universes who follow Emperor Tianyuan.

It is also the closest ruin to the Blazing Sun Domain. In a certain area within the Heavenly Abyss Divine Kingdom, there lies an opportunity left behind by the Heavenly Food Supreme.

The opportunity left behind by the Supreme Tapir Bone is in another place, the Myriad Winds Fire Hell.

The Myriad Winds Fire Prison is very similar to the Star Sea within the Flame Dragon Domain, and is a battlefield left over from the ancient war.

The Myriad Winds and Fire Hell is a naturally dangerous place, filled with terrifying winds and fires, which even powerful alien lords dare not confront head-on. Precisely because of its unique environment, it was established as a battlefield as early as the ancient war.

"The Ten Thousand Winds Fire Prison is the furthest away from us. Even if we travel on the Quyang Warship, we will still have to drift in endless darkness for hundreds of millions of years."

Emperor Qiyang took a sip of fine wine and said slowly, "However, that place was left over from an ancient war and is quite dangerous. Even I dare not roam around recklessly."

"Over the years, I have investigated several times, but in the end, nothing came of it."

"As for that ruin within the Heavenly Abyss Divine Kingdom, it is the closest to us, and the chances of finding it are probably the greatest."

"Oh?" Lei Zhan looked at Emperor Qiyang and asked curiously, "Brother Qiyang, have you found anything? I checked the records in the jade slip, and the most likely opportunity left by the Heavenly Food Supreme is in the Yuanming Domain within the Heavenly Abyss Divine Kingdom."

"The Abyss Realm, where the Celestial Food Supreme made his move during the ancient war."

Emperor Qiyang nodded and said, "Although we can confirm the existence of supreme ruins in the Yuanming Domain, a single domain is far too vast. I and that old fellow Tianyuan searched for them before, but the result..."

Lei Zhan immediately understood.

As a result... it naturally came to nothing.

"As long as the Supreme Ruins are real, even if it's a bit troublesome, we'll eventually find them," Lei Zhan said with a smile.

……

After nearly ten million years of traversing time and space, the Quyang warship finally arrived at the distant Yuanming Domain.

"Is this the Abyss Realm?" Lei Zhan stood inside the Qu Yang warship, looking at the vast world in the distance.

"This is the Yuanming Domain," said the Divine Emperor Qiyang with a smile. "Within this domain, there is a precious Yuanming Fire Star Goldstone Mine. That old fellow Tianyuan has always sent more than ten Sovereigns to guard it, making it a very important domain within the Tianyuan Divine Kingdom."

The Abyss Echo Domain is somewhat similar to the Flame Dragon Domain, both being domains existing within the Chaos Universe. However, compared to the Flame Dragon Domain, which is considered a remote place even in the Chaos Universe, the Abyss Echo Domain is more unique.

"To be able to dispatch more than ten Sovereigns to guard the mine? This Yuanhuo Star Gold Mine must be quite large." Lei Zhan gazed at the vast void in the distance.

Back when he was cultivating his protective divine power in Houwu City, Lei Zhan had used some Yuanhuo Fire Stones. Each one foot square was worth billions of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

"This entire mine is comparable in size to thousands of territories. Wouldn't you say it's incredibly valuable?"

"If I were in charge of the Mingyuan Domain, I would also have to carefully send a large number of powerful experts to guard it," Emperor Qiyang sighed.

"Unfortunately, countless years have passed, and even now, that guy Tianyuan has probably only mined less than half of the mineral veins in the Mingyuan Domain."

"This... thousands of territories? Countless chaotic eras have passed since the ancient war, and we've only mined less than half of them?" Lei Zhan clicked his tongue in amazement.

With a quick thought, even a rough estimate was enough to discover the preciousness of this mineral vein.

Even a small gold mine on Mars can drive many rulers and lords of other universes crazy. If a mine were comparable in size to thousands of territories, even the lords of the eight major source domains would be extremely tempted.

It should be noted that the Pixel Mars Gold Stone is extremely hard and has a wide range of uses; a pound of it can be worth tens of millions of Chaos Essence Liquid.

However, mining this Martian gold is notoriously difficult.

A cultivator with the strength of a fourth-step Dao Lord can usually only mine one pound of the material in a single Chaos Era.

As for letting the rulers and emperors mine it...

That's too extravagant.

Moreover, even those Eternal Emperors could only mine a few hundred kilograms at most in a single Chaos Era. In fact, it was somewhat of a loss rather than a gain.

"In ancient times, the Sith were the first to discover this mine and sent a large number of powerful warriors to fight for it. In the end, after the Sith were defeated, this domain fell into the hands of that guy Tianyuan," said the Divine Emperor Qiyang with a smile.

"It's only because Tianyuan is strong and has many rulers of other universes under his command that he can safely occupy this mine."

"Oh?" Lei Zhan's heart stirred, and he turned to look at Emperor Qi Yang, saying, "Brother Qi Yang, when the Heavenly Food Supreme made his move, it was probably closely related to the Sith Clan who occupied this Yuan Huo Xing Gold Mine. Did you search for it in this Yuan Huo Xing Gold Mine back then?"

"This..." Emperor Qiyang frowned slightly.

Back then, the Yuanming Domain was a gathering place for a large number of Sith warriors.

These Sith warriors possessed numerous skills, including the ability to mine large quantities of Primordial Fire Star Goldstone, which was then quickly used to forge weapons and puppets.

After the Sith obtained the mineral vein, their strength increased exponentially, which attracted the attention of the Celestial Gluttony Supreme...

"I and Emperor Tianyuan have naturally investigated this place as well," said Emperor Qiyang. "After all, the reason why the Heavenly Food Supreme took action was because the Sith race, which occupied this place, posed too great a threat."

"Didn't find it?" Lei Zhan asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Emperor Qiyang shook his head. "Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Supreme One's methods are profound and beyond our ability to easily detect."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "If there are supreme relics in the Yuanming Domain, then the most likely one is this mine."

"It was precisely because of this Yuanhuo Star Goldstone vein that the Supreme Being took action. Therefore, no matter what, we must investigate this vein."
