The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

In the dim, chaotic void.

The vast ocean...

Everywhere you look, there is a sea of ​​lightning.

Countless black lightning bolts formed a boundless ocean in this chaotic void.

This is the Thunder Sea, the Black Swamp Thunder Sea, which is extremely famous throughout the endless territory.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, these wandering black bolts seemed like real living beings, each bolt radiating a terrifying aura.

The closer one gets to the depths of the ocean, the darker it becomes, and in the deepest parts, one can vaguely see large amounts of deep black lightning filled with an aura of destruction.

These destructive thunderbolts, living in the depths of the ocean, are also more agile.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar erupted from the depths of the ocean, and a figure swiftly emerged from the sea of ​​lightning. Behind him, countless bolts of lightning surged like raging waves, carrying a violent force capable of crushing everything, threatening to engulf the figure.

This is a man surrounded by arcs of electricity. He has an eerie appearance, long silver hair, and his eyes seem to flash with electricity.

"He's gone mad! He's gone mad!" A visible hint of fear appeared in the silver-haired man's eyes. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled frantically towards the sea of ​​thunder.

"So what if I captured a few divine lightning bolts? Almost every few dozen Chaos Eras can give birth to more. Even if I captured quite a lot this time, it's not impossible for them to be given birth to again in the future..."

"Hua Hua Hua~~"

"Crackling and popping~~~"

Countless black lightning bolts seemed to be enraged in an instant, directly splitting the chaos and covering the silver-haired man.

"Hmph!" The silver-haired man turned around and greedily scanned the endless thunder swamp behind him, but his gaze lingered for a moment in the depths of the thunder swamp.

"Fortunately, I was lucky this time and encountered three Black Swamp Divine Lightnings that had developed some intelligence. Not only did I not encounter any trouble in capturing these Dao Divine Lightnings, but I also easily subdued them all."

Deep within this Black Swamp Thunder Sea lies an endless pool of black lightning; the lightning there is practically inexhaustible.

No matter how powerful some cultivators are, only the most elite ones can probably delve into it by risking their lives.

If he hadn't been so lucky, he wouldn't have been able to enter the sea of ​​lightning so smoothly this time, and he wouldn't have been able to capture several divine lightning bolts directly.

The divine lightning of the Dao within this Thunder Swamp is generally quite precious. Each one would require at least a million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid to purchase from the Dao Alliance.

"Hmm?" Just as the silver-haired man was feeling smug, a spatial fluctuation suddenly came from around him.

In an instant, a man wearing a blue Taoist robe and with a pair of deer antlers appeared in the distance.

The man had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with endless killing intent: "Lord Frey, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hmm? You're here for me?" The silver-haired man narrowed his eyes, his sinister gaze fixed on the other man, his expression enigmatic. "Who are you? Could it be... that you've also come because of that message sent by Emperor Qianbu of the Dao Alliance?"

Over the past hundreds of chaotic eras, there has been quite a lot of news circulating within the Eternal Kingdom.

Among them were those who, in a moment of impulsiveness and overestimating their abilities, relentlessly pursued and killed Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan. There were also Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan who perished. Dao Lord Frey had heard of these events.

However, he didn't take it to heart. Although he was a third-step Dao Lord, his strength was far beyond that of a third-step Dao Lord.

"A pair of deer antlers, a green robe, and the aura of a Fourth-Step Dao Lord emanating from him." Dao Lord Frey immediately recognized him. "You are Tian Qingzi of the Azure Sky Sect?"

“You guessed right, it is indeed this old man.” The man in the green robe with deer antlers looked at Lord Frey and nodded slightly.

"I did come because of the kill order issued by Emperor Qianbu. After all, Emperor Qianbu can offer quite a lot of conditions, and the only price is to offend your Eternal Clan and kill some of your Eternal Clan's third-step Dao Lords and fourth-step Dao Lords."

"Hmph! That Thousand Cloth Emperor deserves to die, and you Life and Death Dao Lords who came to hunt him down also deserve to die!"

Frey Daojun said coldly, "You want to hunt down the Life and Death Daojuns of our Eternal Clan? Aren't you afraid that in the future, the Sparrow Kings of our Eternal Clan will come to kill you one by one?"

King Geque was also a peak Dao Lord standing at the forefront of the Endless Territory, and among the top peak Dao Lords.

In terms of strength, he is completely comparable to the former God of Gods Dao Lord, and also possesses strength comparable to the Eternal Emperor.

"The Sparrow King?" A hint of apprehension flickered in Tian Qingzi's heart, but looking at the Lord Frey before him, he coldly snorted:
"The Sparrow King's strength is indeed terrifying. Putting aside whether he would bother to hunt me down over such trivial matters, even if he did, it would be a long time before he does. Today, you are doomed!"

"Me, die?" Frey Daojun looked at Tian Qingzi and shook his head. "Ever since Emperor Qianbu issued the kill order, many of my Eternal Clan's Third Step Daojuns have been traveling in groups of three or five, but I still go my own way and travel alone. I immediately know why."

"Huh?" Tian Qingzi was taken aback.

call.

In an instant, Lord Frey transformed into a streak of black lightning and vanished from the spot with a whoosh.

"Huh? This speed! It's already twenty times the speed of light?" Tian Qingzi was genuinely surprised.

Although Dao Lords who follow the path of lightning are generally incredibly fast, this Dao Lord Frey is only a third-step Dao Lord, yet his speed is already this fast, breaking through twenty times the speed of light in an instant.

It should be noted that this speed is extremely rare even among many Dao Lords on the verge of achieving Dao Integration.

If the opponent reaches the fourth step level, their speed alone would probably be enough to leave many Dao Lords on the verge of Dao Integration helpless.

“However…” Tian Qingzi’s gaze was deep and unfathomable, “with a master watching from the side, letting a third-step Dao Lord escape from in front of me would make me, as a servant, seem rather useless!”

Rumble~~~
As soon as Tian Qingzi finished speaking, countless cyan sword lights appeared in the entire chaotic void, surging like an overwhelming force.

Frey Daojun's escape speed was indeed fast, almost flying tens of millions of miles away in the blink of an eye, but the countless cyan sword lights arrived first after they came later.

The hazy blue light resembled a vast swamp, instantly causing Frey Daojun's speed to decrease visibly. "Huh? What?" Frey Daojun, who was frantically fleeing, changed his expression, and his previously confident heart tightened.

Little did Frey Daojun know that when Lei Zhan fought Tian Qingzi, although he was only a first-step Daojun, his speed was much faster than Frey Daojun's now.

Even though the armor was blocked by Tian Qingzi's Azure Sword Domain, its speed was greatly reduced, let alone Frey Daojun.

"Damn it! Damn it! I've already asked my avatar to ask the clan for help, but it will take the nearest expert half an hour to get to the vicinity of the Black Swamp Thunder Sea..." Frey Daojun thought anxiously.

"Half an hour... I only need to hold out for half an hour to escape and even kill this damned Tian Qingzi!"

call out! call out! call out! call out! call out! call out!
Tian Qingzi, watching Frey Daojun's speed slowing down under the constraints of the Azure Sword Domain, pointed a finger from afar.

Rumble~~~~~

In an instant, tens of thousands of sword energies crisscrossed the heavens and earth, each sword light radiating a dazzling azure light, and slashed down towards Lord Frey.

……

"Although Supreme Bolin created the Eternal Race casually as a casual experiment, it is still not to be underestimated."

Deep within the dimensions of space and time, Lei Zhan stood silently in the void, watching the frantically fleeing Frey Daojun, and sighed inwardly.

"A third-step Dao Lord, whose comprehension of the Dao isn't particularly high, was able to forcibly increase his speed to twenty times the speed of light by relying on some powerful supernatural abilities and escape techniques, as well as some bloodline talents..."

As one of the six top powers within the Endless Territory, the connection between the Eternal Clan and the Supreme Bolin is a highly confidential matter known to very few people within the Endless Territory. Lei Zhan also knows some of it.

It was precisely because he knew this that Lei Zhan felt even more emotional.

Of the six major powers within the endless territory, apart from the Dao Alliance, which, despite advocating non-interference, also possesses the deepest foundation,
The other five major powers have been able to establish themselves in the endless territory, and the six major powers are in a state of mutual support. In fact, each of these powers has its own trump cards to some extent.

The Eternal Clan's greatest trump card is probably its own bloodline advantage, as well as the numerous Sovereign legacies left by Supreme Bolin deep within the core of the Eternal Kingdom.

"Slaying the third-step and fourth-step Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan is probably not as easy as I imagined. Moreover, if I want to collect all three natal divine weapons, I need to kill a large number of the Eternal Clan's Life and Death Dao Lords..."

Lei Zhan thought to himself, "Although I have comprehended the ultimate Dao of Time and Space, and my Step-One Dao Lord status is comparable to some top-tier Four-Step Dao Lords, in reality, when facing increasingly powerful enemies, the strength of a Step-One Dao Lord is still not secure enough."

People like Tian Qingzi and Da Mo Daojun are top-tier Daojuns with some fame in the Endless Territory, and their strength is extraordinary.

However, due to their different cultivation levels, the cultivators they come into contact with are naturally very different. There are many cultivators in the endless territory whose strength surpasses theirs.

Although Lei Zhan can now kill heaven-defying Dao Lords like Yan Ming Dao Lord with the help of cosmic treasures, he is still no match for some top-ranking peak Dao Lords and some Eternal Emperors.

"If I can break through to the second step of Dao Lord, and with the treasure of the universe, Frost Moon, even if I encounter those peak Dao Lords, or in the future, I will be able to retreat unscathed."

“What a pity…” Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed.

The ultimate path is not so easy to comprehend. Although it is much simpler for a first-step Dao Lord to break through to a second-step Dao Lord, this simplicity is relative.

"Everyone says that if you bury yourself in cultivation, it's hard to achieve anything great. But I stubbornly focused on comprehension and directly reached the final step of becoming a Dao Lord." Lei Zhan thought to himself, "Let's just wait and see when this final opportunity will arrive!"

The process of comprehending the Great Dao takes tens of millions of years. Among the Five Styles of Time and Space, the remaining styles, namely Shattered Star Style, Thousand Realms Style, and Instant Shadow Style, took a full thirty to forty million years to comprehend, which can be described as extremely long.

Although it was a long process, all five styles of time and space made breakthroughs, and they gradually reached the limit of the first-step Dao Lord.

What Lei Zhan lacks now is an opportunity, an opportunity for a breakthrough.

……

Boom~~~

Boom~~~

In the chaotic void near the Black Swamp Thunder Sea, terrifying fluctuations from the battle erupted with a violent roar.

The overwhelming energy formed incredibly turbulent waves, one after another, like ripples, sweeping across billions of miles of chaotic void, spreading in all directions and continuously proliferating to even greater distances.

"The Eternal Clan is indeed worthy of its name. Although they like to secretly devour some cultivators of the Dao Alliance like rats, your strength is indeed at the level of a top-tier Dao Lord."

"But that's all!"

Wow~~~
Suddenly, Tian Qingzi manifested six arms, each wielding a powerful azure greatsword. The sword energy surged and relentlessly crushed Frey Daojun, its power astonishing.

"Daoist Tianqingzi, spare me!" Daoist Frey struggled to withstand the sword light slashing down from Tianqingzi, pleading repeatedly, "Spare me! If Daoist Tianqingzi is willing to spare me, I am willing to give up treasures worth ten million cubic meters!"

"Oh?" Tian Qingzi's six arms slammed down, sending Frey Daojun flying backward. "Let you go? You, a mere 13th-step Daojun, have managed to accumulate ten million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid. Your fortune is indeed considerable, but... why should I let you go?"

Tian Qingzi naturally refused to let Frey Daojun go.

Not to mention that Tian Qingzi is now just a lowly servant.

They came all the way from the very distant Tianmu Holy City to the edge of the Dao Alliance and to the vicinity of the Eternal Kingdom. Their main purpose was to hunt down the Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan, so they couldn't possibly give up for no reason!
"I, I am the Dao Lord of Life and Death of the Eternal Clan, I... my grandfather was the disciple of Emperor Qiyin!" Dao Lord Frey said through gritted teeth.

The battle had only lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. In such a short time, it was naturally not enough for the powerful members of the nearby Eternal Clan to arrive.

"The disciple of Emperor Qiyin? Or your grandfather?" Tian Qingzi was taken aback, but then laughed. "Why wasn't this information recorded in the intelligence I purchased from the Dao Alliance?"

"Hmph!" Frey Daojun's heart sank, and he said, "I have never publicized such a secret matter, so naturally few people know about it."

"Is that so?" Tian Qingzi smiled faintly. "Lord Frey, are you... stalling for time?"
