Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 178 Crossing the River to Annihilate the Chaotic Rules
The Black Demon Palace, located at the headquarters of the River of Time, is a vast hall left behind by the Black Demon Ancestor, a powerful being at the Eighth Tribulation Realm, and has many functions.

Besides the two Seven Tribulation Realm Palace Masters, there are also many Six Tribulation Realm experts here.

These beings at the sixth tribulation realm are mostly from extraterrestrial life forms. They have no home world to protect them, but hiding in the Black Demon Palace headquarters, while not as foolproof as their home world, is enough to avoid most crises.

The Lord of Blackfire is a sixth-level expert from the Black Demon Palace.

His true form is a well-known Fire Domain Demon Beast. Although it doesn't reach the Fifth Tribulation Realm as quickly as dragons or phoenixes upon reaching adulthood, it is still at the Third Tribulation Realm upon reaching adulthood.

The Lord of Blackfire joined the Black Demon Palace when he was at the Fourth Tribulation Realm. He accumulated a lot of wealth through plundering, which allowed him to reach the Sixth Tribulation Realm relatively smoothly. Now he is a top-tier Sixth Tribulation Realm expert, but the Seventh Tribulation Realm will be difficult.

The number of Seven Tribulation Realm Fire Domain Demonic Beasts that have ever been born throughout the entire endless river of time and space is extremely limited.

At this time-

"Hmm?" The Lord of Blackfire received a message from one of his subordinates who was at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

"A special scroll, a scroll that allows one to experience various calamities?" The Lord of Blackfire narrowed his eyes.

He instantly realized that this must be the "Cataclysmic Map," which was quite famous throughout the endless river of time and space.

The Cataclysm Diagram contains numerous tribulations, all imitating the Heavenly Tribulation. Although the form of the Heavenly Tribulation is not fixed, its power is similar. Experiencing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation through the Cataclysm Diagram naturally makes it easier for those in the Tribulation Realm to overcome tribulations. Furthermore, some special tribulations also have the effect of tempering one's mind and will.

However, the Cataclysm Diagram can only allow you to experience tribulations at the Seventh Tribulation Realm level, and there is a limit to the number of times you can use it, making it rather useless for those at the Seventh Tribulation Realm.

"This Cataclysm Map is said to be a treasure from beyond the universe. There should be several copies, most of which have fallen into the hands of some advanced life forms... I didn't expect there to be one still out there, and that it was obtained by a fourth-level Tribulation Realm cultivator." The Lord of Black Fire thought to himself.

This person at the Third Tribulation Realm was a member of the Black Demon Palace. He naturally hid the treasure he obtained and didn't tell anyone.

However, this time his true body outside the realm was killed, which also caused the Cataclysmic Map to be lost. Seeing that he had no hope of getting it back on his own, he simply informed a powerful figure at the Fifth Tribulation Realm in the Black Demon Palace in exchange for some benefits.

He had recently looted this Cataclysm Map and deeply regretted not sending the treasure back to his home world immediately.

But it was too late to regret it now; the news eventually reached the Lord of Blackfire.

Currently, only beings at the level of the Blackfire Lord have a chance to reclaim the Cataclysmic Map.

...

The Black Temple originally didn't intend to investigate the disruption of this raid, but now things are different.

Without hesitation, the Lord of Blackfire began his investigation. Whether he used the Cataclysmic Diagram himself or sold it, it would definitely make him a fortune.

The Lord of Blackfire sought the help of the Lord of Broken Soul Mountain, who was skilled in cause and effect, within the Black Demon Palace to investigate.

Of course, the Lord of Blackfire did not tell the truth, only saying that he was going to teach a lesson to the guy who dared to disrupt their Black Demon Palace's operation.

The Lord of Broken Soul Mountain naturally understood that there was a problem, but his principle was that as long as someone was willing to pay, he would help.

"Found him. The one who did it was a little guy at the Fifth Tribulation Realm. He has already left the Dongming River System and headed to the Seven Feathers River System." The Lord of Broken Soul Mountain quickly gave the result.

The disruption of the Black Demon Palace's raid is a major karmic consequence, and it's not difficult to investigate it.

"Fifth Tribulation Realm? Haha, just as I expected!" The Lord of Black Flame laughed.

"What is the background and identity of this Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator?" the Lord of Blackfire inquired.

"It should be a Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator from outside the river region. It's not easy to conduct investigations across river regions," said the Lord of Broken Soul Mountain.

“…Understood.” The Lord of Blackfire then took out some more treasures and handed them to the Lord of Broken Soul Mountain.

After receiving the treasure, the Lord of Broken Soul Mountain quickly began his search.

"This Fifth Tribulation Realm expert comes from the Three Bays River System of the Goddess River Region."

"Hmm? The Cangyuan Realm?"

The Lord of Broken Soul Mountain was somewhat surprised.

"The Cangyuan Realm has already produced a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator, Zhou Yu, and now another fifth-tribulation realm cultivator has appeared?" The Lord of Broken Soul Mountain was quite moved. After he informed the Lord of Black Flame of the news, the Lord of Black Flame was also surprised.

Moreover, without the Lord of Broken Soul Mountain needing to calculate further, he knew that the two were extraordinary, after all, they came from the same home world.

"Unfortunately, Zhou Yu can't scare me..." The Lord of Blackfire smiled inwardly and immediately sent another clone on his way.

Zhou Yu reached the Sixth Tribulation Realm in just over a thousand years, and he belonged to the extremely isolated type among those in the Sixth Tribulation Realm, having not joined any faction.

You must understand that many of the top resources in the endless river of time and space are occupied by various powerful forces. If you don't join any force, you won't be able to enjoy any resources at all. And you still want to make progress? You're dreaming!
With the Blackfire Lord backed by the Black Demon Palace and himself being a top-tier Sixth Tribulation Realm expert who had mastered two Sixth Tribulation Realm rules, he naturally had no fear of Zhou Yu whatsoever.

In fact, Zhou Yu had taken action to kill several people from the Yellow Robe Academy when he mastered the complete spatial rules, but the news was not spread under the orders of the Yellow Robe Academy Master.

. . .

At this moment, within the Cangyuan Realm.

In a small courtyard, Zhou Yu was refining his primordial spirit treasure.

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly looked up at the outer realm.

"Someone is paying attention to the Cangyuan Realm? It should be someone at the Sixth Tribulation Realm," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

At this moment, he has mastered the rules of cause and effect, and is extremely sensitive to the cause and effect of the entire endless river of time and space. The cause and effect between him and the Cangyuan Realm is even more outrageous. So whenever a powerful person pays attention to the Cangyuan Realm, he immediately senses it.

“It’s a sixth-level Tribulation Realm expert from the Black Demon Palace…” Zhou Yu understood after a brief examination.

"Meng Chuan, what treasure did you obtain that caused the Lord of Black Fire of the Black Demon Palace to attack you?" Zhou Yu asked Meng Chuan's clone in the Cangyuan Realm directly.

Meng Chuan was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Lord of Blackfire of the Black Demon Temple?
call.

Meng Chuan immediately went to Zhou Yu's courtyard and said, "Master, I should have obtained a Cataclysmic Map."

Unlike ordinary Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivators, Meng Chuan possessed intelligence information left behind by Ancestor Cang Yuan, and he quickly figured out what treasure he had obtained.

Meng Chuan was quite pleased to obtain such a treasure from an ordinary Tribulation Realm cultivator. Of course, he also thought that the Black Demon Palace might know about it, but he didn't expect it to attract the Black Flame Lord so quickly.

"The Cataclysmic Map? You're in luck!" Zhou Yu nodded.

"Master, that Lord of Blackfire..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him." Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, naturally trusting his master.

"I wonder what Master will do, negotiate or fight the Lord of Blackfire?" Meng Chuan wondered to himself.

At that very moment, Meng Chuan's expression changed slightly.

"Master, the Lord of Blackfire has arrived!" Meng Chuan hurriedly said.

That river region was originally under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Blackfire. His other avatar had always been there. For a sixth-tribulation realm expert, the river region was already very small, so he could arrive in an instant.

"Quite fast."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and immediately raised his hand to grab forward.

. . .

The Seven Feathers Galaxy.

Meng Chuan's extraterrestrial avatar was sitting cross-legged on the surface of a Taiyin star.

Rumble!
A figure dressed in black robes, surrounded by vast flames, and with three eyes descended upon the place.

"Is this the full strength of a sixth-tribulation realm expert?" Meng Chuan looked at the other party with great solemnity. He was afraid that even a wisp of flame on the Black Flame Lord's body was more terrifying than a sun or star, and could easily turn his extraterrestrial true body into ashes.

However, Meng Chuan was not so afraid at this moment. Even if he was killed, he would only lose an extraterrestrial clone and some treasures at most.

As for the Cataclysmic Map? It was free to get, so losing it isn't a big deal. "Boy from the Cangyuan Realm, who gave you the audacity to disrupt my Black Demon Palace's operations?" The Lord of Black Fire sneered.

He didn't give Meng Chuan a chance to argue, and directly unleashed a raging fire to destroy Meng Chuan's clone.

But at this time—

Suddenly, a giant hand of primordial spirit appeared in the void, instantly enveloping all spacetime within a hundred billion miles.

"What?" The Lord of Blackfire was stunned, but the giant hand suddenly grabbed down.

laugh!
The Blackfire Lord's clone was instantly crushed into dust, and at the same time, a vast power was transmitted along the cause and effect, instantly arriving at the Black Demon Palace headquarters.

After being heavily weakened by the Black Demon Palace headquarters, the power also struck another clone of the Blackfire Lord.

puff!
The Lord of Blackfire suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, the Black Demon Palace protected me." The Lord of Blackfire was still shaken.

...

Meanwhile, in the Cangyuan Realm, Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

Although the causal protection of the Black Demon Palace is not as strong as that of the Living World, it is still very powerful. His attack just now, following the causal path, did not seriously injure the Lord of Black Fire. He is still far from killing him.

"It seems that killing that Demon Cloud Devouring Flood Dragon won't be so easy," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

When he left the Cangyuan Realm, he received a treasure left behind by a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator, and he still owed a debt of karma.

The Demon Cloud Devouring Flood Dragon clan also has a sixth-tribulation realm expert in this era named "Demon Cloud Owl," whom Zhou Yu intends to kill to repay this karmic debt.

Mo Yunxiao, also a member of the Black Demon Palace, is in a similar situation to the Lord of Blackfire. Without the protection of his home world, he has left a clone of himself to stay in the Black Demon Palace for a long time.

Of course, if it's impossible to kill Demon Cloud Owl, killing some weaker Demon Cloud Devouring Flood Dragons, as long as you kill enough, can also repay this karmic debt.

But for Zhou Yu, directly killing Mo Yunxiao was still more cost-effective.

"Master, you've already reached the Seventh Tribulation Realm?"

At this moment, Meng Chuan's clone left in the Cangyuan Realm looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise.

He personally witnessed Zhou Yu reach out and grab, and then the Lord of Black Fire was crushed to death by a giant hand.

How vast are the distances between different river basins? It would take Meng Chuan more than a month to travel across the River of Time. To kill a cloning of a sixth-tribulation realm expert over such a vast distance is definitely a technique only a seventh-tribulation realm expert could possess.

"I just broke through, but haven't undergone the tribulation yet," Zhou Yu said.

The fundamental rules also have their own characteristics. If it is a material rule, a chaotic rule, etc., it has strong direct strength, but it cannot make moves across river regions.

However, the fundamental rules such as "causal rules" and "limitless rules" can not only cross river regions, but can also instantly bring power to most parts of the entire river of time and space.

"The Primordial Spirit Tribulation will be upon me in a hundred years at most. Master, I will bring back the Cataclysmic Map immediately," Meng Chuan said.

"it is good."

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

Actually, he didn't need the Cataclysm Diagram to transcend his tribulation, but it was still a token of Meng Chuan's goodwill.

. . .

the other side--

News of the Blackfire Lord's ordeal spread rapidly throughout the Black Demon Palace, naturally alarming the two palace masters, the Black Demon Palace Master and the Nightmare Palace Master.

After some investigation, the two quickly determined that Zhou Yu was the one who made the move.

"Zhou Yu has quietly reached the Seventh Tribulation Realm? It's only been a little over a thousand years since he reached the Sixth Tribulation Realm, right? Even if he's been cultivating in places where time is accelerated tenfold, it's still very fast." The Black Demon Palace Master sighed.

The ability to kill the Lord of Black Flame from a distance undoubtedly indicates a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert.

I just don't know if I'll be able to undergo the tribulation.

But in any case, the other party has only been famous for a little over a thousand years, so their rise to fame is indeed quite rapid.

“Our Black Demon Palace should be the first to know, and this news can fetch a good price,” the Nightmare Palace Master said.

As for retaliation? They certainly hadn't considered it.

Seventh Tribulation Realm experts are already at the very top of the endless river of time and space, since Eighth Tribulation Realm experts rarely appear.

A seventh-tribulation realm cultivator killing a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator in their true form? That's quite common!

Moreover, since it was the Lord of Blackfire who attacked someone else's junior first, it was even more justified.

As the Black Demon Palace spread the news, the news of Zhou Yu becoming a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert quickly spread throughout the endless river of time and space.

Most forces were stunned.

How did someone who hadn't joined any faction or enjoyed any resources break through to the sixth tribulation realm?

When did the Seven Tribulation Realm become so easy?

The only ones who didn't find it strange were some of the Six Tribulation Realm experts from the Yellow Robe Academy. They all knew that Zhou Yu had already become a peak Six Tribulation Realm expert, but the academy master had ordered them not to reveal it.

It's not surprising that he could quickly reach the peak of the Sixth Tribulation Realm, and then quickly reach the Seventh Tribulation Realm.

Those at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation Realm who have mastered the rules of space have a considerable chance of breaking through.

The Yellow-Robed Abbot was deeply moved.

When he examined Zhou Yu's future, he considered countless possibilities, and the other party was destined to become a Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivator.

That really startled him. He immediately decided to make peace with Zhou Yu and even gave him a precious gift.

In retrospect, that decision was indeed the right one.

More than a thousand years later, Zhou Yu became a Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivator.

Moreover, the Yellow-Clad Palace Master's intuition told him that Zhou Yu was definitely not that simple. Any powerful expert at the Seventh Tribulation Realm was quite formidable at the Sixth Tribulation Realm, but it was impossible for anyone to reach the Seventh Tribulation Realm in every possible future.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu's future is always at the Seventh Tribulation Realm, which is truly terrifying.

As the news spread, the number of powerful figures visiting Zhou Yu in the Nebula Palace, which gathered all the experts above the sixth tribulation realm in the River of Time and Space, increased rapidly.

Of course, most of them invited Zhou Yu to join their forces. A seventh-tribulation realm cultivator who hasn't joined any force yet is extremely rare. If they could win him over, their forces would immediately see a surge in strength.

Unfortunately, no one succeeded.

Zhou Yu didn't join any faction when he was at the sixth tribulation realm, let alone at the seventh tribulation realm. If he needs anything, he can fight for it himself.

Zhou Yu was peacefully in seclusion, meditating and comprehending.

Before we knew it, thirty years had passed.

"Finally, I've figured it out." Zhou Yu opened his eyes, his eyes filled with a color that was devoid of any brilliance, yet seemed to contain countless radiant lights.

After studying the rules of cause and effect, he went on to comprehend the opposite rule of cause and effect, the "rule of chaos".

If it were normal comprehension, even if Zhou Yu had a hundred times the thinking speed, he could not have comprehended it so quickly, but he has the eternal inheritance "Eternal Time and Space".

The evolution of numerous rules through spacetime naturally allowed Zhou Yu to quickly comprehend the rules of chaos.

"With the mastery of the opposing rules and the secret technique 'Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit' passed down from the Eternal Realm, my strength ranks among the top in the Seven Tribulations Realm. It's time to eliminate that karmic debt." Zhou Yu pondered to himself, and his true body in the outer realm quickly set off.

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