Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 142 The Second Wonder of Daoist Huoyu

Because he had traveled directly across tens of thousands of territories to get here, Zhou Yu didn't have a star map of the area. He didn't even know where he was, let alone how to find a spacetime teleportation array.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu's mastery of the Dao of Time and Space was now almost on par with that of an ordinary fourth-step Dao Lord who was skilled in time and space. In terms of the speed of traversing time and space, he was only slightly slower than most time and space teleportation arrays.

Only those cross-regional spacetime teleportation arrays can be much faster than him.

Wow!
Zhou Yu followed his increasingly clear senses and continued on his journey.

Before long, he arrived near an extremely vast chaotic world.

“This must be a chaotic world created by some Dao Lord.” Zhou Yu could tell the difference at a glance.

Daojun devoted all his efforts to creating the Chaos World, which far surpasses the size of ordinary Chaos Worlds. For example, the Chaos World of the Myriad Gods, where the Myriad Gods Palace is located, is ridiculously large.

The Pantheon, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, only occupies a small portion of the Pantheon Chaos World.

“This chaotic world is also protected by formations, so it would be easy to be discovered if you sneak in.” Zhou Yu hid in the depths of nearby spacetime, observing silently.

"Not in a hurry."

Finding that he couldn't find an opportunity for the time being, Zhou Yu simply began to meditate and cultivate nearby.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and finally a flying boat flew out of that chaotic world.

Inside the flying boat, two World Realm experts sat cross-legged. On the surface, they seemed to be meditating and cultivating, but in reality, they were secretly communicating through telepathy.

One of the figures in the blue robes spoke with a bitter tone, sighing, "We have to help this old demon harvest those mortal lives again. I really don't know what kind of treasure this old demon is refining that requires so many souls. Tens of thousands of chaotic worlds, once every ten thousand years, even after harvesting for hundreds of millions of years, it still wouldn't be enough."

“Fellow Daoist Feng, I know you can’t bear it, but it hasn’t been easy for us to cultivate to where we are today. Are we going to risk our lives against that old demon for the sake of some mortal life? Even if we were to fight, do you think we are a match for him?” the other person asked calmly.

"It would be great if a powerful outsider discovered what was happening here."

"Then we might eliminate you and me as well. Besides, our Eastern Territory is the most inconspicuous among the surrounding territories. What powerful figure would come to a place like this? Even if they did come here, it's unknown whether they would discover what's going on here, and even if they did."

"."

As the two were talking, an invisible force of will silently seeped in.

Neither of them realized that they had fallen into a coma without even noticing.

Swish!
Zhou Yu appeared inside the flying boat.

When he was in the Three Realms, he obtained the extremely powerful mental power inheritance "Nine Chapters of the Planetary Realm". At this time, Zhou Yu's soul and true spirit were comparable to a first-step Dao Lord, and his mental power was even stronger. In addition, he easily learned many advanced mental power techniques in "Nine Chapters of the Planetary Realm", so he easily made two world realms fall into a coma.

Of course, their mental strength in both worlds was average; one was at the fourth level, and the other was only at the third level.

"Hmm? There's actually a life oath, and it's very strict."

Zhou Yu searched their memories and immediately discovered that many of their memories were bound by their life oaths. If he forcibly read them, their souls would immediately be destroyed.

Not only would he not get the information he wanted that way, but he would also alert the enemy. So, after realizing that there was a life oath, Zhou Yu naturally gave up the search.

Through their memories, Zhou Yu ultimately only learned some information that wasn't very useful.

"Looks like I'll have to find a way to sneak in and take a look," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He quickly left the flying boat, and the two World Realm experts vaguely regained consciousness. Neither of them noticed what had just happened. Instead, they chatted telepathically while rapidly piloting the flying boat away from the vicinity.

Zhou Yu waited a few more years before discovering a flying boat that had traveled through the void from afar, carrying two World Realm beings.

Zhou Yu used his Bewitching Technique again, and then sent one of his clones to infiltrate their treasure cave.

Although Zhou Yu had a time-space artifact to protect him, this time he was going to venture into a chaotic world with unknown risks, so it would be safer to send his main body and clone instead.

Soon, the two World Realm experts piloted their flying boats into that chaotic world.

The moment they entered, invisible waves swept over them, not only sweeping over the two World Realm beings themselves, but also sweeping over all the treasures on their bodies.

Inside that treasure cave, Zhou Yu tried his best to merge into the space-time within it.

Zhou Yu is proficient in many aspects of the Dao of Time and Space, and his ability to integrate into time and space is also top-notch. At this moment, as the fluctuation swept by, Zhou Yu also used his expertise in the Dao of Arrays to try his best to avoid the detection.

"Huh? You dodged it?"

Zhou Yu quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Dao Lord who created this chaotic world is not too powerful. If they were truly terrifying Dao Lords, their formations would still be just as formidable even if they were not proficient in the Dao.

After all, their own Dao is powerful enough that if they incorporate some of its mysteries into the formation, it will far surpass ordinary formations.

. . .

Within this chaotic world, countless living beings thrive, so after sneaking in, Zhou Yu wasn't too worried about being discovered.

As long as he doesn't reveal too much of his strength and remains hidden among countless living beings, it will be difficult for anyone to detect anything about him.

At this moment, Zhou Yu felt the attraction of the time-space artifact and searched all the way.

Along the way, he also examined the memories of many ancestral gods and immortals. Although these ancestral gods and immortals did not know much, they were not bound by their life oaths, which allowed Zhou Yu to learn quite a bit.

"Fire Feather Daoist, so this is the Eastern Frontier." Zhou Yu understood.

He also purchased a lot of intelligence in Tianmu Holy City. Although this place is far away from Tianmu Holy City, it is actually still within the influence range of Tianmu Holy City.

"Although Huo Yu Daojun is only a third-step Daojun, his mastery of the Dao is clearly extraordinary. He has a record of fighting against Daojuns on the verge of merging with the Dao." Zhou Yu pondered to himself.

His strength was comparable to that of the Dao Lord who attacked him outside Tianmu Holy City, perhaps only slightly weaker.

To be honest, in terms of cultivation level, Zhou Yu is no weaker than them, but the difference in divine power is too great.

It should be noted that he could only rival a first-step Dao Lord by relying on the Azure Mist, while an existence like the Fire Feather Dao Lord had a basic divine power that was tens of millions of times greater than his. Not to mention that they could also use divine power bursts and other supernatural abilities to amplify their power by a hundred times or even a thousand times, making the gap even greater.

Therefore, Zhou Yu did not choose to fight outside of Qingmu Holy City.

After learning that the master of this chaotic world was Daoist Huoyu, Zhou Yu became even more cautious.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid meeting with the other party.

"According to the intelligence, Daoist Huoyu is not difficult to talk to. Even if he is discovered, it may not necessarily be a bad thing." Zhou Yu thought to himself as he followed his senses and arrived outside a celestial abode.

"This is it."

Zhou Yu sensed the majestic immortal palace ahead and was quite certain that the treasure he was looking for was inside.

"This should be the immortal abode of one of Daoist Huoyu's disciples, but the array is too powerful. It must have been set up by Daoist Huoyu himself. Does he value this disciple so much?"

After briefly sensing the array within the immortal abode, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that it would take him more time to infiltrate it.

However, Zhou Yu was still very patient. His other clones were all cultivating outside, so it didn't matter that this main clone took a little longer.

A few years later.

In that celestial abode, in a hidden space.

A figure in black robes sat on a high throne, looking down at the people below.

That place is purgatory, an abyss, where countless terrible punishments wantonly torment billions of gods and immortals.

"Collapse, despair!"

"Let them all become nourishment for Master's cultivation path."

"."

The figure in black robes had a slight smile on his lips. He controlled all the billions of punishments and was also aware of the states of all the gods and immortals.

Once someone's Dao heart completely collapses, he will immediately extract their soul.

Only a soul like this is what his master needs.

"It seems that Daoist Huoyu is quite different from what was said in the intelligence." Zhou Yu shook his head as he stood in this hidden space.

The intelligence he bought from Tianmu Holy City said that Daoist Huoyu was a kind-hearted person, but now, Daoist Huoyu's disciple is behaving like this.

Zhou Yu didn't believe that Huo Yu Daojun was unaware that this Immortal Mansion Formation was clearly set up by him. Moreover, judging from the terrifying resentment accumulated in this space, this torment had obviously been going on for a long time, and countless batches of gods and immortals had been replaced.

Did you not know at the moment, or did you never know?

Zhou Yu understood that there was an 80% chance that all of this was instructed by Daoist Huoyu. The other party was likely a cultivator who was walking a path of great sin, but he had been hiding it very well.

Of course, Zhou Yu despised Huo Yu Daojun's actions, but he didn't think much of it at the moment. Through his senses, he quickly determined that the treasure he was looking for should be on a certain celestial being.

"Take them all away, and we'll sort them out slowly."

As Zhou Yu thought to himself, with a thought, countless gods and immortals vanished instantly.

"what?"

At this moment, the black-robed figure sitting cross-legged on the throne changed his expression.

Before he could think any further, a force burst forth from the depths of spacetime, instantly annihilating him into nothingness.

This black-robed figure was only at the peak of the World Realm; killing him would be a simple matter.

And at this moment——

Boom!

A terrifying power descended upon this immortal abode in an instant, sealing off billions of miles of void.

However, the blockade did not stop Zhou Yu. He still traveled at an incredible speed and left the Fire Feather Chaos World in an instant.

"What?" In a magnificent temple in the Fire Feather Chaos World, the Fire Feather Daoist, dressed in a fiery red robe, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Without hesitation, he took a step and left the Fire Feather Chaos World, tearing through space and time in a flash, chasing after it into the depths of space and time.

Reaching the level of Daoist Huoyu, even without understanding the Dao of Time and Space, it would be easy to delve into the depths of time and space.

However, in terms of the speed of traversing time and space, Huo Yu Daojun is far inferior to Zhou Yu.

"Fire Feather Daoist, you'd better not chase after me. You can't catch up with me," Zhou Yu's voice came with a faint laugh.

If they had been close together from the start, he might not have been able to escape so easily. But Huo Yu Daojun was extremely far away from him at the beginning, so how could he possibly catch up?

"Who are you? Why did you kill my disciple?" Huo Yu Daojun shouted coldly.

"Just passing by."

Zhou Yu didn't say much and hurried on his way.

Before long, Daoist Huoyu lost his connection with Zhou Yu.

"Damn it."

Huo Yu Daojun's face was grim. He didn't care about the death of one disciple, but what he had done might be exposed and spread.

Cultivators who commit grave sins may benefit, but they may also be hunted down by powerful Dao Lords.

Before achieving the Dao, Wan Shen Dao Jun (a figure in Chinese mythology) would relentlessly hunt down and kill cultivators who committed grave sins in order to accumulate merit and increase his chances of success. The demons he killed piled up into mountains, which is why there is the "Ten Thousand Mountains".

Huo Yu Daojun has always kept his identity hidden, fearing that he might attract powerful enemies. After all, he has only reached the third step, and there are still many people in the Endless Territory who can deal with him.

"The news can't spread that fast. I'll leave the Eastern Frontier once I've mastered my supernatural powers." Daoist Huoyu quickly made a decision in his heart.

He was mentally prepared to embark on this path of grave sin. If he were discovered, he could simply flee.

With his strength, there is always a place for him to settle in the vast territory.

the other side--

Zhou Yu, who had escaped, landed on a chaotic star.

At this moment, another bead-shaped treasure appeared in his hand.

"As expected, there are restrictions as well." Zhou Yu thought to himself with considerable emotion.

He understood that it was precisely because this strange object had a restriction left by the sovereign that it could not be used unless there was a corresponding method, which was why this strange object fell into the hands of a god.

Otherwise, anyone in any realm of existence could discover its wonders; such a treasure could never have fallen into the hands of a celestial being.

"I wonder what the difference is between this second strange object and mine?"

As Zhou Yu pondered this, he also used a special method to easily penetrate the strange object with his power.

An invisible force surged, in an instant—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Billions of Zhou Yu's avatars emerged from the bead. At that moment, Zhou Yu felt that these billions of avatars could all become his original form.

In the blink of an eye, the incarnation is the original body, and the original body is also the incarnation.

"Another terrifying way to save your life," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Of course, for Zhou Yu, this second strange object also contains many mysteries of the Dao of Time and Space, which can help him comprehend and cultivate.

Having experienced the effects of this strange object, Zhou Yu quickly waved his hand.

Suddenly, a celestial being, whose eyes still held a hint of daze, appeared before him.

"A god, tortured to this extent." Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly. He reached out and pointed, and a drop of crystal-clear liquid dripped into the space between his eyebrows.

Wow!
Power surged in, rapidly nourishing the divine soul of this god.

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared in the god's eyes, and he made a judgment about the situation before him.

"Greetings, senior. Thank you for saving my life." The deity bowed deeply.

"Saving you was just something I did on the spur of the moment," Zhou Yu said, looking at him.
"I won't lie to you, you have a treasure that's very useful to me, so I took it."

Upon hearing this, the deity's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, "It is my good fortune that you would be interested in my treasure, senior."

"I have taken your treasure after all. Do you have any other wishes?" Zhou Yu looked at the celestial being and said:
“Treasures, inheritances, you can ask for anything, as long as it’s within my power to provide.”

"Needed?" A hint of confusion flashed in the god's eyes, and he quickly asked:

"Senior, my wife's Dao heart collapsed and her soul was extracted before I did. Is there any hope of her being resurrected?"

"How long ago did your wife's Dao Heart collapse?" Zhou Yu asked.

"A thousand years ago"

"Then the chances are very slim." Zhou Yu shook his head.

If he wasn't mistaken, those gods and immortals who were tormented to the point of collapse would eventually become some kind of cultivation material, and after a thousand years, the chances of them still existing are very small.

Upon hearing this, a look of despair appeared on the god's face, but soon, an incomparably dazzling light flashed in his eyes.

"Senior, I want revenge." The god looked at Zhou Yu with longing.

His wife collapsed a thousand years ago, and the reason he has persisted is for revenge.

He and his wife lived peacefully in their world, but suddenly one day, an incredibly terrifying being descended upon them, captured them, and then began endless torment.

His heart was filled with resentment. Why should they suffer this calamity for no reason?

It is his burning desire for revenge that has kept him going until now.

“Then you will follow me for now.” Zhou Yu nodded.

Zhou Yu found a remote place and created a chaotic world there.

Zhou Yu placed Fu Jiutian, who wanted revenge, along with countless other gods and immortals, into this chaotic world.

Zhou Yu temporarily settled in this chaotic world, and he also began to guide Fu Jiutian in his cultivation.

Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu sat cross-legged on a mountain peak in this chaotic world. In his heart, the final path of the array path had finally reached its limit.

"As long as the formation exists, so too will I exist." A slight smile appeared on Zhou Yu's lips.

At this moment, his countless insights into the Dao of Arrays naturally began to merge, just like when he broke through the Dao of Space-Time.

Zhou Yu understood that he had chosen the right path in the array formation.

Having comprehended all directions of the Dao of Arrays, only one more step is needed to reach the ultimate Dao of Arrays.

As Zhou Yu walked down the mountain, he saw a figure already waiting there.

"Senior." Fu Jiutian bowed respectfully.

"Have you mastered the sword techniques I taught you?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes." Fu Jiutian nodded.

"Show me what you've got," Zhou Yu said again, and Fu Jiutian didn't hesitate, a divine sword appearing in his hand.

He quickly unleashed a set of sword techniques.

Fu Jiutian follows the Way of Earth. Although Zhou Yu has never comprehended the Way of Earth, his realm is too high. With a little effort, he has also figured out an extremely sophisticated sword technique based on the Way of Earth.

As Fu Jiutian displayed this sword technique, Zhou Yu watched and nodded in approval.

"He's certainly putting in a lot of effort." Zhou Yu understood that Fu Jiutian Shen must have worked very hard.

"Unfortunately, the sword technique I passed on to him was only the most basic one. I maintained a thousand times time acceleration for him, and it still took him a hundred years to master it. This Fu Jiutian God can at most become a True God on his own. Even if I devote all my efforts to cultivating him, the hope of him reaching the World Realm is not great." Zhou Yu had a clear understanding of the situation at this point.

Fu Jiutian had absolutely no hope of taking revenge on his own.

"I'll have to take action myself," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

A third-step Dao Lord, not just an ordinary Dao Lord, would normally be someone Zhou Yu wouldn't want to confront head-on, but that doesn't mean he's truly afraid.

If Zhou Yu spared no expense, with his wealth, he could buy many powerful treasures, enough to overwhelm Huo Yu Daojun.

Of course, buying powerful treasures would be too wasteful, and Zhou Yu only needs them now, so he didn't buy any external items that could directly improve his strength in Tianmu Holy City before.

Now, Zhou Yu was also unwilling to waste the treasures. Although the Lord Yu Zou had left him with enough treasures, he could not squander them.

"If one can comprehend any one of the ultimate paths, dealing with Daoist Huoyu will not be difficult."

"Unfortunately, the ultimate path is not so simple, and it cannot be comprehended in a short time."

"However, if I find the right opportunity, with the two paths I currently possess, it's not impossible to create a miracle," Zhou Yu pondered.

The Time-Space Path is a very comprehensive path, especially in terms of survival, few can compare.

The Dao of Arrays is about turning the rotten into the miraculous. Zhou Yu only understood the power of this Dao more deeply after integrating many aspects of the Dao of Arrays.

He understood that given the right opportunity, he had a chance to fight against Daoist Huoyu.

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