The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Tiger Fortress Warship, inside the Sith ruins.

"This guy named Beiming is much stronger than that Daoist Jiuchen. His terrifying swordsmanship has allowed him to capture at least seven or eight puppets in the last hundreds of thousands of years."

“That Dao Lord Jiuchen is normal! If all Dao Lords were as monstrous as Dao Lord Beiming, then we would probably be in danger.”

Those Emperor-level puppets hid in the core area of ​​the Sith's residential area. Even though the arrays and restrictions around them were incomplete, they didn't have to worry about being captured by accident while hiding there.

Most importantly, the four puppets that survived the great battle, comparable to the lords of the holy city, have been guarding this area ever since.

If any other cultivators approach or intrude, they will be hunted down and killed by these powerful puppets.

The puppets were all looking into the distance, where a white-clad youth holding two swords stood in the air.

"Lord Beiming, are you still not giving up?"

"You still dare to invade my Sith territory."

"This is sacred ground of my Sith race. If there is a next time, I will make sure you die!"

Huff, huff, huff, huff...

Four streaks of light shot out from the core area, each roaring angrily, and each flying at a speed exceeding a hundred times the limit of the Heavenly Dao towards the white-robed youth.

"Sith stronghold? The Sith have been defeated. You puppets have been sitting in these ruins for endless years. Don't you find it too boring? Doesn't one of you want to leave?"

The white-robed youth stood there smiling, watching from afar. This white-robed youth, wielding two swords, was none other than Ji Ning, who had left the Supreme Land.

Since arriving at this Sith ruin, he and Jiu Chen have fought countless battles with these puppets, capturing quite a few Emperor-level puppets in the process.

But ever since the weaker Emperor-level puppets stopped fighting him, Ji Ning began to set his sights on these four 'Holy City Lord-level' Emperor-level puppets.

After all, these 'Lord of the Holy City' level Emperor-level puppets are much more precious than ordinary Emperor-level puppets.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"bring it on."

"Die."

"We'll talk after you catch us!"

These puppets are stubborn; they are indeed very curious about the outside world, but as puppets, they will never disobey their master's orders.

"Hmph! Then let's fight!" Ji Ning looked at the four puppets with even stronger auras, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He immediately charged towards the core.

Although this core area is the most dangerous, he and Jiu Chen came here and obtained great opportunities, but their fundamental purpose was still for the Sith treasure.

Among the many treasures, there are very few that are more precious than these 'Lord of the Holy City' level Emperor puppets.

……

At the three-headed lion statue, the lion's mouth opened. Then, a figure flew out from the Beast Cave.

"Hmm? Ji Ning is dealing with those puppets?"

In an instant, Lei Zhan immediately sensed the movements of his own disciples.

"The four puppets are all at the level of the Lord of the Holy City. It would be good to leave them for this little guy to use himself."

It would be quite surprising if a Dao Lord of Life and Death gave a "good" evaluation to an Emperor-level puppet that is extremely rare in the outside world.

But for Lei Zhan, who possesses two Sith war weapons, it's nothing special; it's just not bad.

After all, when he killed City Lord Hou Wu, he also killed several other universe lords who possessed many treasures.

"However, with Ji Ning's current strength, it will take some effort to break into these remaining protected areas."

"Now that we're here, it would be a bit unreasonable for me, as the master, not to lend a hand."

As Lei Zhan spoke, before his words had even finished, he took a step forward.

……

"kill."

"Kill this Northern Underworld Dao Lord."

"Bai Ming's repeated visits are meant to let him know our strength and power."

These four figures were already furious with Ji Ning. This time, the power they unleashed in the battle was far more terrifying than usual.

suddenly.

call.

A figure appeared out of nowhere on the ruins.

"break."

The figure stretched out its right arm, its five fingers spread wide, like a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, tearing apart everything in its path. Around each finger were layers of space, and within each layer, worlds were crumbling, worlds destroyed the moment they were born.

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! !
Under that overwhelming hand that blotted out the sky, countless layers of worlds were being destroyed, with vast ruins being annihilated and countless arrays and restrictions shattering in an instant.

"How terrifying!" Ji Ning's expression changed as he watched the terrifying giant hand envelop the entire space. He had never seen such terrifying power before.

"Master, how could you be so strong?" Ji Ning's gaze immediately fell on the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure also maintained the appearance of a human from the Three Realms, but it inexplicably felt majestic and imposing.

His every move was far more powerful than those of the rulers he had ever seen, such as the Mangya Ruler and the Dan Venerable.

“Puff puff puff~~~”

With a slam, the giant hand produced a very faint "pop" sound, like a bubble bursting. The puppets hiding within the broken barriers were easily slammed to the ground.

In an instant, they captured all the Emperor-level puppets within the ruins.

"This, what kind of method is this?"

"Besides this Dao Lord Beiming, there are actually other cultivators in the shadows?"

"Such terrifying power could never be created by a Dao Lord! It must be the ruler of the cultivator civilization who has made the move!"

The moment the giant hand appeared, the four puppets that were frantically fighting with Ji Ning changed their expressions drastically and panicked.

Such a terrible crisis has never been seen before.

As countless years have passed, the descendants of the Sith, or even the powerful Beiming Daojun before them, have never posed such a threat!

"Ok?"

"Master Dao?"

"How could he possibly be the Lord of Life and Death?"

"How could Daojun possibly possess such terrifying strength?"

When the four Holy City Lord-level Emperor puppets sensed the aura fluctuations emanating from the suddenly appearing figure, their eyes widened in surprise.

"go!"

"Run away!"

"This Dao Lord is too abnormal! He's far too monstrous!"

"Quick! Run! He's even more monstrous than Bei Ming!"

Swish swish swish~~~~
The four puppets, all at the level of Holy City Lords, transformed into streaks of light and fled in all directions. The speed of these four puppets varied, but each of them exceeded a hundred times the speed of light!
"Escape? I almost forgot about you guys." Lei Zhan turned to look at the four puppets frantically fleeing into the distance, and a smile appeared on his face.

"town!"

"Hua Hua Hua~~"

In an instant, it seemed as if invisible giant hands appeared in the air, grabbing the puppets who were terrified and trying to escape in panic.

Grasped by that invisible hand, the four puppets seemed like mosquitoes trapped in amber, and the surrounding time and space instantly froze.

Suddenly, everything settled down.

Lei Zhan then looked at Ji Ning, who was standing to the side.

"Ji Ning".

"Hmm? Master." Ji Ning seemed to wake from a dream, and bowed respectfully.

"Why aren't you putting these puppets away?" Lei Zhan said to his disciple with a smile.

"And the treasures within this Sith ruin. Although most of them are damaged, they still have some value."

"As for how you and Jiu Chen divide things, that's between the two of you. I'm too lazy to bother with it."

"This...this is all going to be given to me and Jiu Chen?" Ji Ning was stunned, somewhat incredulous. "These puppets were all captured by Master, and these remaining formations and restrictions were also broken by Master. Master is about to merge with the Dao..."

"Alright, take it."

Lei Zhan waved his hand, immediately interrupting Ji Ning.

"These puppets may seem valuable, but they mean nothing to me. As for achieving Dao, I have no need for these things."

“If you reach the fourth-step Dao Lord level in the future, I can provide you with war weapons that can rival these Sith relics.”

Lei Zhan smiled slightly, but his words were full of confidence.

Of course, Lei Zhan also had this confidence. Even among those ultimate Dao Lords who had reached the ultimate path in the past, probably none of them had his strength.

After all, generally speaking, without an extraordinary stroke of luck, the strength of an ultimate Dao Lord can at most be comparable to that of a Sovereign.

As for going any further like Lei Zhan, it's extremely difficult!
"This...you can even give me Sith war weapons in the future?" Ji Ning stared wide-eyed at his master, his face full of astonishment.

Sith war weapons?
Isn't that a complete Tiger Fortress warship?
Having experienced the trials of the Yi Bo Realm, Ji Ning's horizons had broadened considerably. He naturally understood that among the countless rulers and emperors of the entire Sixteen Realms Alliance, only Lord Da Feng could produce such a treasure!
How extraordinary is Lord Kefeng's status? His strength is undisputed as the number one in the Sixteen Realms Alliance!

"As the master, how could I possibly deceive my disciple?"

Lei Zhan, however, didn't care at all. "Alright, these puppets have all been bound and suppressed by me, so refining them will be easy. Once you've refined all these puppets, I'll be returning to the Flame Dragon Domain."

"Return to the Flame Dragon Domain?" Ji Ning asked curiously.

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded slightly, a faint killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Return to the Flame Dragon Domain and kill Meloppo!"
