The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"These are Emperor-level puppets, and there are four puppets comparable to the lords of the eight holy cities. Why would that Dao Lord Guiyi not even care about these?" Jiu Chen was taken aback.

The preciousness of an Emperor-level puppet is such that even the six top forces in the Endless Territory would not ignore it, yet Guiyi Daojun didn't even care about it.

“My master…” Ji Ning’s mind conjured up the unfathomable figure in black robes, his gaze distant.

"Don't worry. Among the four-step Dao Lords, there are ordinary Dao Lords and peak Dao Lords. And my master is even more terrifying than me."

"Like the Wine Saint who possesses the treasures of the universe... If my master were the one fighting the Wine Saint in the Yi Bo Realm, he could probably suppress him with a single hand!"

"Huh? He suppressed the Wine Saint with one hand?" Jiu Chen's eyes widened immediately. "Doesn't that mean he's at least at the level of a top-tier Holy City Lord?"

He had personally witnessed the Wine Saint's strength when they were vying for the fruits within the Crimson Wave Palace.

Even the lords of the eight holy cities who have been famous for a long time, none of them dare to say that they can easily suppress a peak Dao Lord like the Wine Saint who possesses a cosmic treasure. But that Dao Lord Guiyi actually has this strength.

"A top-tier holy city lord?" Ji Ning shook his head helplessly. "Don't be fooled by my recent surge in strength; even now, I still can't see through my master."

"My master's strength has at least reached the level of a ruler. If it weren't for the Supreme Land left behind by the Supreme Lord Bolin, he probably wouldn't have appeared so easily in the Endless Territory."

"This is really..." Jiu Chen was speechless.

Among their ancient cultivator clan, apart from the strongest being, 'Nether Orchid Overlord', none of the other Eternal Emperors dared to claim they could rival an Overlord.

The powerful emperors in the clan, such as Emperor Xingjiu, are on the same level as the lords of the eight holy cities of the Dao Alliance. However, they are still far from being rulers.

Ji Ning glanced at Jiu Chen, shook his head slightly, and then sat down cross-legged. "Let's wait patiently. My master should be here soon, within half a day."

……

call.

In the endless darkness near the Demon Elephant Stone Wall, spatial ripples appeared, and a figure materialized out of thin air—it was Lei Zhan, who had come from the Mangya Kingdom.

"Sith war weapon... what a pity." A flicker of emotion appeared in the eyes of the colossal figure in the darkness ahead.

The entire warship was about a million miles long, resembling an elephant, except that it had a single, extremely sharp horn on its forehead.

That sharp, unicorn-like structure was once the ramming horn of the warship.

If the warship were intact, even those rulers and lords of other universes would be easily crushed by this ramming horn.

The black layer of fiery black stone that originally covered the entire warship had long since crumbled, revealing the silvery-white of an unknown material beneath. It stood out starkly in the endless darkness.

"That little rascal Ji Ning really didn't hold back. The outermost layer of dark firestone on the entire warship has been completely peeled off." Lei Zhan glanced at the material radiating a silvery-white light in front of him and shook his head slightly.

The dilapidated warship before them was a weapon of war of the same level as the Quyang warship in the hands of Emperor Qiyang.

If it is intact, even with the combined strength of Canglan Star and Guiyi City, it cannot be easily ignored.

Unfortunately, the warship was too badly damaged to be used.

"Ji Ning is inside. And the Supreme Land left behind by Supreme Bolin is still there. It saves me a lot of time."

With a thought, Lei Zhan unleashed a vast and powerful divine sense that enveloped the entire warship. Everything inside the warship was laid bare under his terrifying divine sense, becoming clearly visible.

"Hmm? We've found the entrance that Supreme Bolin tore open back then. Ji Ning and the others must have entered the warship through this entrance. It's quite a large entrance." Lei Zhan nodded slightly, then stopped hesitating.

Wow~~~
With one step, the figure in black vanished from the spot.

……

Lei Zhan did not proceed along the path that Bolin had originally torn open.

With his current understanding of the Dao of Time and Space, he can tear through time and space with a single thought and directly enter a deeper dimension of time and space.

They could easily bypass the remaining array restrictions inside the warship and directly enter the core of the warship.

call.

Inside the warship was a vast void.

A pale blue mist hung in the void, enveloping an area spanning billions of miles.

This void is hundreds of billions of miles in size, and in the center of the void is a dazzling star, which is billions of miles in diameter.

Lei Zhan appeared directly above the giant star in the center of the void.

"We've arrived." Lei Zhan looked down and his gaze swept across the two figures sitting cross-legged below.

One was a white-clad youth carrying a sword, and the other was a silver-robed man wielding a long staff. Lei Zhan was very familiar with the aura emanating from Ji Ning.

His gaze lingered on the silver-robed man. "The one beside Ji Ning should be his sworn brother, Jiu Chen."

"Speaking of which, I, as the master, have actually benefited from my disciple's situation. So, let me meet my disciple first."

Lei Zhan smiled, and with a thought, he bypassed some of the array restrictions around the two of them and appeared directly in front of them.

"Wow~~~"

A very subtle fluctuation of energy was revealed, which immediately startled Ji Ning and Jiu Chen, who were sitting cross-legged and cultivating with their eyes closed.

"Huh?" Ji Ning was taken aback when he sensed the familiar presence.

He opened his eyes, and upon seeing the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him, he stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple Ji Ning, I pay my respects to the Master."

"Jiuchen greets Palace Master Guiyi." Jiuchen sensed the aura that suddenly appeared beside him and bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities." Lei smiled slightly, then turned to look at Jiu Chen beside Ji Ning. "This is your friend, Sect Leader Jiu Chen?"

“Yes.” Ji Ning nodded and said, “Jiu Chen comes from an ancient cultivator clan and is my close friend.”

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded slightly.

Although he, Ji Ning, and Jiu Chen were all Dao Lords of Life and Death, they were no longer on the same level. He had killed countless Sovereigns and Emperors. His treatment of Ji Ning and Jiu Chen was entirely natural.

"Is Palace Master Guiyi here for the Supreme Land?" Jiu Chen looked at the black-robed youth in front of him with great curiosity.

If it weren't for that fleeting, terrifying aura fluctuation just now, he would have found it hard to connect the seemingly ordinary young man before him with the Palace Master of the Time and Space Palace of Mangya Kingdom.

“I have indeed come here to see the ‘Dao’ left behind by the Supreme Bolin.” Lei Zhan nodded slightly.

There's nothing to hide about any of this.

Lei Zhan will not miss any opportunity to learn the Dao left behind by the Supreme Being, whether it is for the upcoming Dao Integration or to prepare for successfully breaking through to a higher realm after achieving Dao Integration.

“Master, let’s go together. Jiu Chen has just completed the test of the Cave Heaven Spirit, and according to that senior’s requirements, he is now qualified to enter that Supreme Land.”

"Good." Lei Zhan laughed, "The opportunity you painstakingly found has actually benefited me for nothing."

Lei Zhan understood this in his heart. The reason why the Supreme Land still existed here was also related to Ji Ning and Jiu Chen.

Prior to this, the outermost layer of the entire warship was shrouded in dark firestone, so the spirit of the cave could not take away the supreme land.

Now that Ji Ning has taken away the outermost layer of dark firestone, if Jiu Chen has also completed the test, the spirit of that cave has probably already led the Supreme Land to wander in the endless darkness.

At that time, just like when he went with the Divine Emperor Qiyang to find the legacy left by the Supreme Bone of the Tapir, Lei Zhan himself would have to painstakingly search for it in the endless darkness.

"Haha. Palace Master, you flatter me. I also benefited from Bei Ming's help." Jiu Chen laughed. "My strength is inferior to Bei Ming's, and I was not destined to have this opportunity. But Bei Ming pleaded for me, which is why that senior gave me this chance."

“There is always a chance in everything.” Ji Ning said with a smile, “Jiu Chen, the senior’s original words were, ‘As long as he does not use any external force or the treasures of the universe, and captures an Emperor-level puppet by his own strength, I will let him comprehend it.’ In fact, all of this is due to your own efforts.”

The three of them talked as they walked, and soon they entered a vast expanse of magnificent palace ruins.

Soon, the group saw a strange beast statue in the ruins, a strange beast statue that looked somewhat like a three-headed lion.

“Master, these three lion statues are the entrance to the Supreme Land. Please wait a moment while I go and communicate with the senior.” Ji Ning said respectfully to Lei Zhan.

“No need.” Lei Zhan looked at the beast statue and smiled. “That senior has already discovered me. Let’s go in together. I’m sure that senior won’t stop us.”

"Huh?" Ji Ning was taken aback, but noticed the abnormality of the beast statue.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the central lion statue abruptly opened its mouth, revealing an immeasurable universe within it, emanating immense power.

"boom."

An endless force of suction swept over them, instantly pulling all three into the lion's mouth.
