The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

call.

Emperor Shenrong suddenly stood up, frowning as he looked around.

"Which fellow Daoist has come to my Divine Banyan Clan? Please show yourself!" Emperor Divine Banyan spoke loudly, his voice echoing throughout the palace, carrying a hint of surprise.

It should be noted that this is the old lair of their Divine Banyan Clan. Since they migrated to the Flame Dragon Domain, countless arrays and restrictions have been set up over the endless years.

"Of the three rulers in the Flame Dragon Domain, the Mangya Ruler is the strongest, and his Dao of Time and Space is the most troublesome. But there is absolutely no way he could escape my perception..." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Divine Banyan Emperor.

Emperor Shenrong was very confident in his own strength. He was not like those eternal emperors with ordinary foundations; he had many trump cards.

Even the three rulers of the Flame Dragon Domain would never be able to sneak into his lair without a sound.

“Divine Banyan.” A rather calm voice echoed in the ears of the Divine Banyan Emperor.

"Hmm?" Emperor Shenrong immediately looked ahead and saw a young man dressed in black robes appear out of thin air, standing calmly in the air.

"It's you?"

Emperor Shenrong recognized the black-robed youth at a glance. "Lord Guiyi? I spared your life back then because of that old fellow Mangya, but I never expected that you would deliver yourself to my door after only a little over a Chaos Era."

"Where is that old man Mangya? He's delivered himself to our doorstep, but where is he hiding now?"

Emperor Shenrong harbored boundless killing intent. Being hunted down to his clan's lair by his enemies naturally filled him with immense rage. Yet, at the same time, he was also deeply wary.

Although he looked down on those Dao Lords, he dared not underestimate this Dao Lord Guiyi, after all, the other party's strength was probably not much worse than his own. Not to mention that he had the number one ruler of the Flame Dragon Domain behind him.

"Delivered to our doorstep... I guess you could say that."

Lei Zhan had a faint smile on his face. "As for my master, it's not necessary for him to take action to kill a mere Emperor like you."

Lei Zhan naturally had absolute confidence. In the eight source domains located at the core of the chaotic universe, he had killed countless rulers and lords of other universes.

Killing a mere Level One Emperor, who is only at the level of an Eternal Emperor, the lord of one of the eight holy cities of the Flame Dragon Domain, would be an easy task.
"Arrogant brat!" Emperor Shenrong was taken aback, and then anger welled up in his heart.

A mere emperor? He is a powerful cultivator who can exist eternally. When did the Eternal Emperor become so humble and insignificant?

"It seems that you've acquired some incredible trump card over the past chaotic era. A mere Emperor... Hmph, even that old fellow, the Mangya Overlord, wouldn't dare to speak like that."

Lei Zhan shook his head and smiled, "The entire chaotic universe is so vast. Your Divine Banyan Emperor is content with a corner, merely a frog in a well. As for the Eternal Emperor... to me, he is someone I can destroy at will."

call.

With a thought, Lei Zhan immediately took a step forward.

"Die."

"You?... Hmm? Oh no!" Emperor Shenrong's pupils shrank.

This step seems extremely slow, even allowing you to clearly see the opponent's subtle movements. But in reality, it's incredibly fast.

Emperor Shenrong was shocked. Emperor Guiyi took only one step, but the speed was so fast that it seemed to cross time and space in an instant. It was so fast that he could only vaguely see a few fragments.

"Wow~~~"

Lei Zhan appeared before Emperor Shenrong, his palm like a knife, and casually slashed out.

laugh.

Even a seemingly ordinary palm strike was clearly seen by Emperor Shenrong. It was just like taking an ordinary step, yet this seemingly slow palm strike easily enveloped Emperor Shenrong.

puff.

The Divine Banyan Emperor's entire body was as fragile as tofu; a single palm strike shattered it instantly.

This seemingly 'slow' palm strike was actually a strange sensation caused by a time distortion; in reality, it was so fast that no one present had time to react.

“You, you…” Emperor Shenrong’s eyes widened.

An invisible force, following cause and effect, instantly annihilated the enemy. Lei Zhan didn't need to care whether the Divine Banyan Emperor in front of him had any life-saving means such as his natal talisman or second primordial spirit.

His palm strike, connected by cause and effect, would kill even a second primordial spirit hiding in other realms or other universes.

"Wow~~~"

The Divine Banyan Emperor's wide eyes held a hint of resentment and a sense of relief, but as his aura completely dissipated, his shattered body instantly turned into a pile of ashes. Lei Zhan glanced at the pile of ashes scattered by a wisp of wind and said softly, "To kill you, I need no one else. I alone am enough."

With a wave of his hand, Lei Zhan put away the magical artifacts left behind by the Divine Banyan Emperor.

These things may not mean much to him, but they represent the entire fortune of an Eternal Emperor. Whether he leaves them to the Three Realms or makes other arrangements, they can still be of some use.

Lei Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the distant void, and a smile appeared on his face.

"master."

call.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in the empty hall, and an old man with a wide-eyed white beard walked out of it.

"This, this... that old bastard Shenrong, you killed him so easily?"

Even the Lord of Mangya felt breathless as he looked at the wisp of dust drifting in the wind not far away.

The Divine Banyan Emperor is no ordinary lord of a holy city. Although his strength is not as great as the top few, he has many ways to protect himself, and even he is not confident that he can kill him directly.

Otherwise, when they were chasing after his disciple, they would have killed him as well.

But in the scene before us, a fourth-step Dao Lord killed the Divine Banyan Emperor, who had lived for countless years, with just one palm strike.
"It is indeed my master who has gone to great lengths for me." Lei Zhan smiled slightly.

In terms of understanding the Dao, there are few in the entire chaotic universe who are stronger than him. When he went to the territory of the Divine Banyan Clan, he naturally discovered the Mangya Overlord who was following closely behind.

The fact that Master Mangya always thought of protecting and helping his disciple warmed Lei Zhan's heart.

"I sensed something was wrong and was worried you were in danger, so I rushed over immediately. But Guiyi, you..." Lord Mangya looked at the black-robed youth in front of him and gave a bitter smile, "Unfortunately, it hasn't been long, and you've already caught up with me, your master."

"You were able to kill the Divine Banyan Emperor with a single palm strike. Even a Lord of Destruction who controls an entire alien universe would find it difficult to achieve that."

A mere fourth-step Dao Lord, and his strength has reached such a terrifying level? This disciple of his has truly given him a huge surprise!
"My second primordial spirit was transported to another realm through an unstable spacetime rift when I was weak. You know this, Master." Lei Zhan glanced at the Mangya Overlord and explained softly.

"In the past, my main body and my second primordial spirit broke through together, and our strength increased. Only then did I discover that my second primordial spirit had been teleported to the Blazing Sun Domain, one of the eight source domains at the core of the chaotic universe."

"Hmm? The Eight Domains of the Universe, the Blazing Sun Domain?" Lord Mangya's eyes widened as he immediately thought of the rumor that had been circulating among the top experts of the Flame Dragon Domain recently.

"Then, the Dao Lord who killed the Fifth City Lord of the Blazing Sun Domain, whose Dao name was 'Return to One,' was your second primordial spirit?"

The first thing that came to mind for the Mangya Overlord was that in the distant Blazing Sun Domain, a Dao Lord had luckily obtained a powerful Sith war weapon and used it to kill a powerful being named City Lord Hou Wu.

It should be noted that beings like Lord Hou Wu are rare even in the entire Chaos Universe. Among the Icebound Legion, whose strength is on the same level, the Lonely Emperor is renowned throughout the entire Chaos Universe.

A powerful being of this caliber was killed by a Dao Lord, and thousands of Emperors and Sovereigns witnessed it firsthand.

Over the past chaotic era, it naturally spread throughout the entire chaotic universe.

Even remote realms like the Flame Dragon Realm have been spread.

This is simply too astonishing! For a Dao Lord to achieve such a feat is unprecedented in the countless years of the past.

Naturally, even the powerful Mangya Overlord, the strongest being in the Flame Dragon Domain, had heard of it.

However, there are too many cultivators in the entire chaotic universe, and many of them have the same Daoist name. Most importantly, the Flame Dragon Domain is too far away from the eight source domains at the core of the universe, so the Mangya Overlord has not studied it in detail.

But now...

"It was indeed my second primordial spirit that killed City Lord Hou Wu."

Lei smiled and said, "If I didn't have some confidence, I wouldn't have risked my life to intrude into the lair of the Divine Banyan Clan. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master."

"This, this..." Lord Mangya was both surprised and delighted, feeling as if his whole body was floating. "To be able to kill City Lord Hou Wu, he is probably comparable to Lord Dafeng of our Sixteen Domains Alliance. Amazing, amazing!"

"It's just because they're using the Sith's war weapons," Lei Zhan shook his head and laughed. "Besides, those war weapons are all in the hands of my second primordial spirit; my main body's strength is far inferior."

"Even without Sith war weapons, the ability to easily kill a lord of one of the eight holy cities is terrifying enough."

The Mangya Overlord also showed a look of joy, exclaiming, "In the past, no Dao Lord could achieve this. The number one Dao Lord of my Flame Dragon Domain... no, I'm afraid Guiyi, you can be called the number one Dao Lord in the entire Chaos Universe!"

"Let's go, Guiyi, come with me back to Mangya Kingdom. Such good news deserves a grand celebration."
