The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"This, this is aimed at me? How is this possible!" Emperor Meloppo was terrified. In that instant, he felt a terrifying killing intent.

He had never heard of a powerful figure who could completely imprison and suppress him with a single thought, making even blinking a luxury.

Even if the three rulers within the Flame Dragon Domain could easily kill a top-tier emperor, suppressing him so easily would be utterly impossible.

"Damn it, which powerful figure is passing by, intending to attack me, Melobo? Even the Mangya Ruler of the Mangya Kingdom shouldn't leave me without a chance to resist, but..."

Melop's mind raced, he racked his brains, but still couldn't find a single image.

Before he could think further, a figure suddenly appeared in the air. He was wearing an ordinary black robe, which looked rather plain at first glance, but his special aura was hard to ignore.

"This is..." Tianyue Daojun's eyes suddenly lit up, "This, this is Guiyi Daojun of the Twelve Palaces of Mangya?"

Tianyue Daojun and Muling Daojun also turned their gazes to the suddenly appearing black-robed youth. In an instant, Tianyue Daojun recognized the suddenly appearing black-robed youth.

"Lord Guiyi! It seems he's here to cause trouble for Emperor Meloppo. There should be... hope!"

Tianyue Daojun felt a surge of joy. This was the Palace Master of the Time and Space Palace of Mangya Kingdom, a Daojun who was quite legendary throughout the entire Yanlong Domain!
“Melobo.” Lei Zhan looked at Emperor Melobo, whose expression was somewhat frozen, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You filthy parasites who feed on cultivators... you truly deserve to die!"

“I…” Melop suddenly realized he could finally speak, and forgetting everything else, he forced a smile despite his anxiety:
"Lord Dao, I am a vermin! I, Melobo, will never again enter the Dao Alliance's territory, and I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me!"

"Spare you?" Lei Zhan sneered. "I originally intended to crush all the vermin of your Eternal Clan to end it all, but..."

"However?" Melop's heart tightened initially, but then a look of joy appeared on his face. Could it be that things had taken a turn for the better?

"However, the only reason I'm willing to speak with you a little more is because of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord." Lei Zhan paused, then said coldly, "I came here this time to kill you for the sake of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord!"

"The Myriad... Myriad Gods Dao Lord?" Melop was stunned, his words stammering! This Dao Lord, whose strength was ridiculously powerful, had appeared here to kill him for the sake of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord?
The thought of that madman who had once relentlessly pursued him, the Myriad Gods Dao Lord who had gone to great lengths to kill him and had almost succeeded, and the fact that he had risked his life to escape back then, made him remember that name.

"The Lord of All Gods is dead. He died long ago. You are also a Lord of Gods; there's no way you could have ever seen him." Emperor Melobo was anxious. "No, you shouldn't have any connection with him. Why are you trying to kill me for him?"

"I'm telling you this so you understand that you died because of the Lord of Ten Thousand Gods," Lei Zhan said slowly. "As for why?"

"When I was weak, I received the legacy of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord. I also promised the spirit of the cave and the three-eyed puppet that I would help him take revenge and kill you when I had the strength in the future."

Lei Zhan looked at Meloppo, who had a look of fear and regret on his face, and became a little more patient.

He wanted to settle this past karmic debt, and naturally, he also wanted the other party to understand why they had died.

If Emperor Melopó were to die without knowing why, this cause and effect would ultimately be incomplete.

"I, I..." Emperor Melopó's eyes were blank, his mind in turmoil.

"Die," Lei Zhan said calmly.

"Wow~~~"

Suddenly, nine dragons appeared in the void, along with nine sources of void, nine sources of divine light, nine sources of divine thunder, and nine sources of divine wind...

The secret techniques created by the Myriad Gods Dao Lord to hunt down Emperor Meloppo once again shone brightly in this territory.

The nine secret techniques, which originally could only suppress the Eternal Emperor, instantly overwhelmed Emperor Meloppo's body.

Nine secret techniques flew by, and cause and effect continued.

All souls and true spirits were annihilated!

Emperor Melobo was strangled bit by bit, his soul scattered, and his body turned into dust.

Emperor Melobo the Great died.

"It's a pity that the God of Ten Thousand Gods was once a brilliant and talented man, but he ultimately died because of Melobo..." Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed as he watched the dust scatter in the wind.

"Strength is still strength in the end."

"If the God of Ten Thousand Gods had possessed such strength back then, I'm afraid Melobo wouldn't even have dared to make a move."

"Ok?"

Lei Zhan's mind was churning with thoughts, and suddenly a series of methods flashed through his mind, some from the civilization of cultivators and others from the civilization of the Sith.

These methods are all part of the mental training processes of other great beings.

"The Dao Heart".

"So, resolving the final karmic connection is the opportunity for my Dao heart to reach perfection?" Lei Zhan suddenly realized.

Naturally, memories of my journey on the path of cultivation surfaced in my mind, along with countless insights into the "Origin Heart Sutra"...

To attain the ultimate path and align with the Dao, one must achieve a perfect Daoist mind.

At this moment, the 'Heart of Time and Space' in Lei Zhan's heart quietly filled in the last missing piece.

……

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with this Lord Guiyi? It seems he gained some enlightenment after killing Emperor Meloppo?"

After Emperor Melopo's death and the dissipation of his Dao, the restrictions on Dao Lord Tianyue and Dao Lord Muling had already been lifted.

Daoist Muling gazed at the black-clad youth in the distance, whose eyes were growing ever brighter, not daring to disturb him in the slightest. "The feeling I get from Daoist Guiyi seems to have changed," Daoist Tianyue transmitted his voice. "If the previous Daoist Guiyi possessed a captivating and wondrous charm, now... now he seems to have returned to simplicity."

"Returning to simplicity? This Dao Lord Guiyi is truly low-key!" Dao Lord Muling couldn't help but shake his head. "If I hadn't heard that Mangya Kingdom had produced another monstrous Dao Lord who could withstand a powerful figure at the level of the Lord of the Eight Great Holy Cities while only at the third step of Dao Lord, I probably wouldn't have known that Mangya Kingdom had this Dao Lord Guiyi."

Not long after Tianyue Daojun recognized Lei Zhan, Muling Daojun also learned of the powerful Daojun who had saved them from dire straits.

"Unfortunately, since that time, the Endless Territory has never heard of this Dao Lord again. Instead, the Northern Underworld Dao Lord has emerged."

Tianyue Daojun and Muling Daojun stood aside, communicating silently through telepathy, not daring to disturb each other.

I don’t know how much time passed.

finally--

"Hmm? It seems..."

Tianyue Daojun's eyes lit up.

"Lord Guiyi, your enlightenment is complete!"

call.

Lei Zhan gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"One time and space, one world."

"I never had any particularly obsessive obsessions, but I never imagined that my desire to achieve a perfect Dao heart and to cultivate a perfect heart of space and time would end up being so arduous."

Fortunately, Lei Zhan now possesses a perfect Dao heart.

For him to achieve the 'Eternal Ultimate Time and Space Dao', perfecting his Dao Heart is an essential part.

"Palace Master Guiyi." Upon seeing this, Daoist Tianyue and Daoist Muling stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "This time, we thank Palace Master Guiyi for saving our lives."

"Hmm." Lei Zhan glanced at the two stunningly beautiful women who had walked up to him, nodded, and then stepped into the void and disappeared.

For Lei Zhan, this mission was solely to kill Emperor Melopo of the Eternal Clan.

With everything resolved, it's time to depart and prepare to attain enlightenment.

As for the rest.

Everything is but a passing visitor.

……

Blue Flower Cave.

"Hmm?" The old man in white was taken aback when he saw Lei Zhan suddenly appear in the cave.

"You, this is what you are doing?"

Although it was only a short trip, he could clearly perceive the difference in Lei Zhan's situation.

“Senior.” Lei Zhan looked at the white-haired old man and smiled slightly.

"Hmm? You've achieved perfect Dao Heart?" The white-robed elder was somewhat surprised.

The somewhat detached feeling that Lei Zhan brought him was something he had only sensed before from Qi Zhizun and one of Qi Zhizun's disciples.

Later he realized that if a cultivator's mind is perfected, he will naturally exude this unique feeling.

“Nothing can be hidden from you, senior,” Lei Zhan said with a smile. “After leaving the cave this time, I experienced some things, and my Dao heart has reached perfection.”

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old man in white also smiled, "The Dao Heart is perfected. Generally, only the Dao Heart of a Supreme Being can reach this level. As for those Sovereigns and Dao Lords, very few can achieve the Dao Heart perfection."

"Now that your Dao heart is perfected, your chances of achieving Dao integration have probably increased significantly."

The white-haired old man was very excited.

Since the death of the Supreme Being, the fulfillment of his last wish to perfect the 'Ninefold Space' has remained a distant dream.

Now that the possibility of Lei Zhan achieving the ultimate Dao Lord's union with the Dao has greatly increased, he is naturally delighted.

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded.

A perfect Dao heart is indeed crucial for achieving Dao integration. This applies not only to ultimate Dao Lords but also to ordinary fourth-step Dao Lords.

Like the 'path' followed by some cultivators, even if the cultivator's own 'path' has problems, as long as they have a perfect 'path heart', they can still successfully merge with the 'path'!
As Lei Zhan initially comprehended in "Heart Sword Technique," the Heart Sword Emperor's swordsmanship was not particularly advanced, and the chance of him successfully achieving Dao was even slim. However, he possessed a perfect sword heart, and thus he successfully achieved Dao.

"Please rest assured, senior." Lei Zhan naturally understood the white-robed elder's thoughts, and after a moment's thought, he slowly replied.

"If I succeed in achieving the Dao, I will definitely fulfill the last wish left by the Supreme One."

"If I fail to achieve Dao integration... I will also seek out a prodigy with exceptional talent to continue the journey with the 'Ninefold Space'."
