Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 115 "The Physical Universe" - Ancient Tibetan Emperor
Inside the Demon Ancestor's Cave.

Zhou Yu remained seated, quietly perfecting his understanding of the "Way of Arrays".

From rulers to extraordinary mages, almost everyone knows how to set up magic arrays, but just because everyone knows how doesn't mean everyone is an expert.

Some spacetime arrays and matter arrays are based on the mysteries of "spacetime" and "matter," with the array itself being merely a carrier.

Just as many people can use swords or knives, it doesn't mean they have mastered the way of swords or knives; they simply use them as weapons.

Zhou Yu's path of formations is naturally based on magic arrays, which alone can produce a variety of magical effects.

For example, the secret technique of using magic arrays to refine the body that Zhou Yu created before is like this.

This is a broad road, Zhou Yu understands, and he can continue walking along this road indefinitely.

hum!
Zhou Yu activated the time acceleration array here again.

With time accelerated ten thousand times, Zhou Yu began to ponder the body-refining secret technique he had created before.

Previously, he created this body-refining secret technique by comprehending the Demon Ancestor's ideas on creating the True Body of Ten Thousand Demons, as well as his various insights into the Dao of Formation in another world. Now that he has finally mastered the Dao of Formation in this world, Zhou Yu naturally wants to improve it.

"There aren't many parts of the first volume that need to be revised."

Zhou Yu pondered his secret technique, because the first volume was only the foundation and did not need to contain the mysteries of the Dao of Arrays.

However, Zhou Yu still made some modifications, increasing the power of the secret technique by more than 10%.

"Theoretically, once this volume is completed, it should have 70% of the power of the initial volume of 'True Body of Ten Thousand Demons'," Zhou Yu sighed.

It seems that, despite both being masters of utilizing the rules of heaven and earth, he is still inferior to the Demon Ancestor who created the "True Body of Ten Thousand Demons".

That makes sense. The Demon Ancestor may not have started creating the "True Body of Ten Thousand Demons" when he was in the Opening Realm. When the Demon Ancestor's realm was higher, he went back to create the ultimate technique, and his utilization of every rule was naturally terrifying.

In fact, given Zhou Yu's current level of cultivation, it is already incredible that he could create a body-refining secret technique with about 70% of the power of the initial volume of "Ten Thousand Demons True Body".

In other words, he had come to understand a great deal of the ideas behind the Demon Ancestor's secret techniques for creating physical bodies over a long period of time, and only with an extremely profound accumulation of knowledge was he able to do so. If it were someone else, they might not even be able to do it by simply understanding the Demon Ancestor's ideas, let alone create a secret technique with similar power.

"There are many more parts that need to be revised in Volume Two." Zhou Yu began studying Volume Two again.

This volume will truly incorporate Zhou Yu's understanding of the Dao of Formations, so there are many parts that need to be revised.

With time accelerated, a full 1.5 million years passed before Zhou Yu truly created it.

"This ultimate technique is complete!"

Zhou Yu recalled the various aspects of the unique skills and was filled with awe.

He was even impressed with himself; he had actually created such a unique skill.

The creation of this unique skill will also cause Zhou Yu's strength to soar.

In the realm of creation, the vast majority of people learn the unique skills of others, and only a very few can create their own unique skills. Once a unique skill is created, its power is much greater.

Characters like the Annihilation Emperor of the Dark Abyss and Qingjun all created their own unique skills.

Of course, Qingjun combines multiple paths with her own unique skills, so her strength surpasses that of the Great Emperor of Annihilation.

The Great Emperor of Annihilation was only a dominant force in the Realm of Creation, while the Azure Sovereign was capable of fighting against the Sovereigns.

"Theoretically speaking, this ultimate technique is already perfect and should be without any flaws. It's just lacking in practice." Zhou Yu thought to himself, and he quickly decided to try practicing it himself.

If there are any problems, he can clearly sense them through his own practice, and then he can make corrections.

With time accelerated, Zhou Yu also began his cultivation.

To cultivate this unique skill, one needs sufficient energy. If one relies solely on slow absorption, it would take at least hundreds of billions or trillions of years. Even with a time acceleration of ten thousand times, it would still be too long.

Therefore, there must be treasures.

Fortunately, the Demon Ancestor Cave contained many treasures, all of which were related to the physical body. Zhou Yu had easily gathered a set of treasures that could be used for cultivating the "True Body of Ten Thousand Demons".

At this time, Zhou Yu can also find the treasures needed to cultivate his unique skills.

"start."

Zhou Yu placed a section of what appeared to be a dried-up vine in front of him.

In the outside world, even a small section of the Demon Bone Vine would cost a billion divine crystals, yet it was carelessly left here.

At this moment, Zhou Yu reached out and pointed, and the vine immediately split open from the middle.

A crystal-clear bone appeared in the middle, containing some kind of magical energy. With a thought, Zhou Yu sent a surge of energy into his body.

call!call!call!
A great deal of energy was quickly absorbed by Zhou Yu's bones. However, while absorbing the energy, Zhou Yu's bones also generated strange fluctuations that affected other parts of Zhou Yu's body.

This is the essence of Zhou Yu's unique skill: his physical body is a whole, a huge magic array, and strengthening any part of it will affect the whole body.

As time passed, Zhou Yu used various treasures continuously, and even with the acceleration of time, it took him a full thousand years to finally master the first volume of his ultimate technique.

"No problems have occurred."

Zhou Yu felt his physical body at this moment. He gently squeezed, which immediately caused a huge distortion in spacetime. A void was formed out of thin air, and then it was crushed.

This was accomplished solely through pure force; Zhou Yu didn't use any special techniques at all.

It is conceivable that this power is indeed terrifying to the extreme.

"Continue with the second volume of practice."

Zhou Yu then began his cultivation of the second volume.

This volume required even more treasures and took even longer; with the time accelerated, it took 30,000 years to be completely completed.

Boom!

Zhou Yu sat there cross-legged, his aura surging powerfully, surpassing any of the Mother Ancestor Sect protectors he had ever seen before.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was completely integrated into one body, and no matter from any angle, it was impossible to find any flaws or weaknesses in his physical body.

His physical body is an absolute whole, completely integrated from the inside out.

"I myself am a massive magic array. Attacking me on the material level, no matter where I am attacked, will cause damage to countless parts of my body together."

Zhou Yu sighed inwardly. His physical body was incredibly resilient at this moment, with all parts bearing the damage together. This meant that it would be a thousand times more difficult to injure him than to injure a physical body of the same level.

"However, once it exceeds my limit, it will cause me great harm." Zhou Yu understood this in his heart.

His physical vitality is only passable; once he is seriously injured, it is not easy for him to recover. If he could make his vitality incredibly terrifying, that would be truly frightening.

"Forget it, my experience isn't enough yet. It's already incredible that I've reached this point for now." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it.

After all, he had just begun his path. If it weren't for the information on the many stone tablets left by the Demon Ancestor, it would have been impossible for him to create his own physical martial arts technique.

Among the many unique skills, those related to physical body are definitely the most difficult to create because they involve many aspects, and problems can easily arise if one does not accumulate enough experience.

Zhou Yu's ultimate move in the field of time and space, "Time and Space Tribulation," is relatively simple, because all you need to do is consider how to increase its power.

"This ultimate physical technique will be called 'The Physical Universe'," Zhou Yu quickly decided.

After fully perfecting the "Flesh Universe", Zhou Yu did not rush to leave the Demon Ancestor Cave.

He plans to take advantage of the ten-thousand-fold time acceleration here to further improve himself.

Although one cannot comprehend the Dao under the accelerated time, the creation of unique techniques is unaffected. For nearly seven hundred years, Zhou Yu's avatar left in the material world has been comprehending the Dao of Time and Space.

With Zhou Yu's talent and comprehension, coupled with his hundredfold thinking speed, although he wouldn't reach the top-tier Opening Realm level in such a short time, his accumulation in the Dao of Time and Space had improved significantly. Zhou Yu was confident that he could further refine his killing techniques in the Dao of Time and Space.

"Furthermore, the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Formations can also create unique techniques that combine with each other." This thought flashed through Zhou Yu's mind again.

. . .

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu had been in the Demon Ancestor's Cave for eight hundred years.

On this day, the Blood Blade God Emperor in the Blood Blade Divine Court received another message from Zhou Yu.

"Your Majesty, I intend to take action against those protectors of the Mother Ancestor Cult," Zhou Yu said directly.

"Make a move?" Bloodblade God Emperor asked doubtfully, "Weren't you unsure before? Why did you change your mind so quickly? Can you handle those Mother Ancestor Cult protectors?"

“There has been some progress, so I want to give it a try,” Zhou Yu said.
"However, I need a helper."

Upon hearing this, Blood Blade God Emperor was surprised.

Another improvement?

"Is he really improving so quickly, or is there another reason?" Bloodblade God Emperor wondered to himself.

If it's the former, that's terrible.

There are many reasons for the latter.

For example, Zhou Yu was trapped in a magical place where he could comprehend the Dao through accelerated time.

For example, he is the reincarnation of a powerful being from another universe. Although he cannot immediately recover his strength due to the different cultivation system, different systems always have commonalities, so his cultivation speed is naturally astonishing.

Bloodblade God Emperor felt that Zhou Yu's situation was more like the latter. In a thousand years, he went from the peak of the god level to the third heaven god, and then in a hundred years, he opened up his path.

Now, more than a thousand years later, he claims to have made further progress.

It does indeed resemble the performance of top experts from other cultivation systems who cultivate the profound rules of their systems.

"I wonder just how much progress he's made this time," the Bloodblade God Emperor thought to himself.

"What kind of helper do you need?" Bloodblade God Emperor asked.

"Ideally, it should be a Venerable One who has reached the Opening Realm. If that's not possible, an ordinary Great Power will also be acceptable, but they must be Great Powers who are skilled in formations," Zhou Yu said.

"Alright, you wait here, I'll find one for you." Bloodblade God Emperor agreed.

He also wanted to see just how much Zhou Yu had improved.

Moreover, finding a helper for Zhou Yu is not difficult. Although entering the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel is dangerous, as long as the clone does not carry any treasures, even if the clone dies, the loss will not be significant.

A month later.

In the Blood Demon Cave.

Wow!
With a spatial fluctuation, Zhou Yu appeared in a valley, where a figure dressed in a gray robe was waiting.

The figure exuded a strong aura of death; he was none other than the Ancient Hidden Emperor, one of the personal disciples of the Blood Blade God Emperor.

Although he did not establish his own path, he possessed unique skills, and the Ancient Hidden Emperor ranked among the top among powerful beings in terms of strength.

Emperor Gu Cang rarely goes out, but this time it was a mission from Emperor Xue Ren, so he had no choice but to come.

After entering the Blood Demon Cave, the Ancient Hidden Emperor hid in this valley and waited.

First, the Blood Demon Cave is incredibly large and suppresses space and time. Ordinary powerful beings can only fly slowly here and have no means to travel through space and time.

Secondly, the Blood Demon Cave is fraught with danger, and if he were to run around recklessly, he could be annihilated at any moment.

So it's better to just stay put and wait for Zhou Yu.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu arrived here from the Ice and Snow Cave in just one month.

"Lord of Flames, you've finally arrived."

When the Ancient Tibetan Emperor saw Zhou Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief. Being with Zhou Yu meant he didn't have to worry about being killed by sudden danger.

"Is the Ancient Tibetan Emperor also skilled in magic arrays?" Zhou Yu asked at this moment.

"I wouldn't say I'm good at it, it's just that I don't like taking risks, so I've been quietly studying it. Influenced by my master, I've also dabbled in magic arrays," said Emperor Guzang.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

Blood Blade God Emperor is indeed remarkable. He is the strongest in the universe, and in terms of magic arrays, he is also the strongest in the universe.

However, the Blood Blade God Emperor is skilled in magic arrays because he also cultivates the witch cultivation system. In the Blood Blade God Emperor's magic arrays, the focus is on the mysteries of all things, rather than on the magic array itself as Zhou Yu does.

It's normal that Gu Cang Dijun, as a disciple of Xue Ren Shen Di, is quite skilled in magic arrays.

"I have a magic array here. See how much of it you can activate."

Zhou Yu took out a dark blue bead and handed it to the Ancient Tibetan Emperor.

A magic array can be set up in advance or crafted and carried around; the latter requires higher-quality materials.

The magic array that Zhou Yu took out was obviously pre-refined into the bead, and it only needed to be activated by injecting power.

At this moment, the consciousness of the Ancient Tibetan Emperor also permeated the bead, and began to comprehend its mysteries.

"This is a spacetime magic array."

The Ancient Tibetan Emperor immediately discerned the essence of the magic array. He delved into its mysteries and soon discovered that this magic array was completely different from the spacetime magic arrays he remembered.

"This magic array is not only part of spacetime, but the array itself is also a complete system." Emperor Guzang was quite shocked.

So, magic arrays can be set up like this?
After pondering for a long time, the Ancient Tibetan Emperor finally spoke:

"Lord of Flame, I can understand about 10% of the mysteries of this formation and probably unleash about 30% of its power."

To unleash the power of a magic array, one doesn't necessarily need to understand it completely. Simply injecting power and letting it operate on its own can have a significant effect. Therefore, although the Ancient Hidden Emperor could only comprehend 10% of its mysteries, he could still unleash 30% of its power.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

“If you can unleash 30% of the power on your own, I’ll teach you a special method to operate it, and you should be able to unleash 70% of the power of this formation,” Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"A special operating method? It can enhance my control over this formation?" Emperor Gu Cang was taken aback.

However, Zhou Yu did not explain that he had personally crafted the array, and that his understanding of the "Way of Arrays" was the basis for creating a method specifically designed to assist in its operation.

To be honest, even the Ancient Tibetan Emperor could only comprehend a small fraction of the array's mysteries. If Zhou Yu himself were to control this array, he could unleash its full power.

However, if Zhou Yu were to fully control the magic array, he would not be able to utilize his physical advantages, so he chose to ask Blood Blade God Emperor to help him find an assistant.

Being able to unleash 70% of its power is already quite good.

"Let's go. I'll teach you the method of control on the way." Zhou Yu didn't say much more.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gu Cang nodded. Emperor Xue Ren had naturally told him that his purpose in coming to Blood Demon Cave Heaven was to help Zhou Yu deal with the protectors of the Mother Ancestor Sect.

"I've heard that the protectors of the Mother Ancestor Sect are comparable to Venerables. This opportunity to exchange blows is extremely rare," thought the Ancient Tibetan Emperor, who was also quite looking forward to it.

Whether it's a success or a failure, it's a rare and valuable experience.

P.S.: There will be another update later.
