Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 186 The Eighth Physical Tribulation After Transcending Tribulation
Cangyuan Realm.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes.

"Fortunately, I encountered this primordial spirit tribulation." Zhou Yu was filled with emotion at this moment.

For a normal person at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm to undergo tribulation, simply reaching the fourth level would be extremely difficult, and it wouldn't be surprising if it took a hundred years. In fact, if they took the wrong path, they might not even reach the fourth level in a hundred years.

Once they reached the fourth rank, they discovered that the most difficult part wasn't reaching the fourth rank, but completely eradicating the power of demons.
“No wonder there are so few people at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. How many can pass this kind of test?” Zhou Yu couldn’t help but shake his head.

This world's tests for cultivators are far too difficult; it's truly the most challenging world Zhou Yu has ever seen for achieving immortality.

"However, I did go after all." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was indeed completely different.

In the long river of time, Zhou Yu had long since grown into a colossal fish. With a light leap, he completely broke free from the river of time and landed on the shore.

"From now on, there will be no limit to lifespan. As long as one's willpower is strong enough, one can live on indefinitely," Zhou Yu thought with a sigh.

The lifespan in this world is far too short; even a half-step eighth-tribulation realm cultivator has a lifespan of less than two hundred thousand years.

Now, for the time being, we no longer need to worry about lifespan.

"Cangyuan Realm"

Zhou Yu sensed the Cangyuan Realm within the long river of time. At this moment, his consciousness rapidly merged with the entire Cangyuan Realm. After the merging was complete, Zhou Yu further separated this tributary of the long river of time and space, where the Cangyuan Realm was located, from the long river of time and space of the entire universe.

Occupying a segment of the river of time and space alone means that unless one is at the Eighth Tribulation Realm or above, no one can find the location of the Cangyuan Realm.

This also means that the Cangyuan Realm is completely different, leaping from a medium-level life world to a higher life world.

Rumble!
The Cangyuan Realm frantically absorbed the vast power of the universe and began to expand rapidly.

The earth is being formed, and the ocean is growing.
this moment--

Outside the Cangyuan Realm, many beings sensed the commotion.

"Haha, Zhou Yu succeeded."

The old man with the dragon head, dressed in black robes, laughed with delight. The eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm was already rare, and to have someone with the talent of creating three thousand clones to succeed in the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm meant that Zhou Yu's influence in the endless space-time beyond the universe would likely rise quickly, second only to him.

If Zhou Yu were to cultivate to the top-tier Eighth Tribulation Realm, he would be no less capable than him.

Besides the Dragon Ancestor, there are also five other top-tier Eight Tribulation Realm experts in this universe, who have all discovered the changes in the Cangyuan Realm.

These five top-tier Eight Tribulation Realm experts are the Eternal Lord, the Nebula Palace Master, the Phoenix Ancestor, the Demon Mountain Master, and the Black Demon Ancestor.

Among them, the Eternal Lord, the Nebula Palace Master, and the Phoenix Ancestor were all asleep. When they awoke and discovered the birth of an extraordinary Eighth Tribulation Primordial Spirit, they were all quite delighted. Sometimes, when facing external enemies, the Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators of the same universe had to stand together, and they naturally welcomed the birth of a powerful companion.

The Master of Demon Mountain and the Progenitor of the Black Demon had known Zhou Yu for a long time.

Needless to say, the Master of Demon Mountain is the Black Demon Ancestor, who has always been clear-headed throughout this era. He is the Eight Tribulation Realm behind the Myriad Stars Heavenly Emperor.

Of course, in the eyes of the Black Demon Ancestor, the Myriad Stars Heavenly Emperor was just an insignificant pawn. Once he was destroyed, so be it. He didn't take him seriously. In comparison, Zhou Yu, who was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, was more worthy of attention.

"Zhou Yu, many of the sleeping Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators have awakened to celebrate for you. Come quickly." The Dragon Ancestor's voice came at this moment.

"coming."

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu created a clone of himself and went to the banquet.

In the Cangyuan Realm, many beings sensed the changes, but most were unaware of what had happened.

No one except Meng Chuan knew that Zhou Yu had previously become an Eight Tribulation Life Form.

The main issue is that in the long river of time and space, ordinary life forms cannot access this level.

Zhou Yu also told Meng Chuan not to leak the information, so naturally no one knew before, not even Bai Yaoyue knew that Zhou Yu had become an eighth-level tribulation realm cultivator.

Of course, there's no need to hide it now.

"Congratulations, Master, on reaching the Eighth Tribulation Realm." Meng Chuan's clone in the Cangyuan Realm immediately sent his congratulations.

"Although there were some setbacks, we finally succeeded," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"The Cangyuan Realm has now become a world of advanced life forms. I can establish 'gods'. The lifespan of gods will be equal to that of the Cangyuan Realm, but they will be limited by their mental will. Although your talent does not require this position of god, your relatives and friends do. Therefore, I will give you twenty positions."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

He himself was free from desires and wants in his spiritual practice; he just liked to travel around and draw things. However, the lifespan of his family members was indeed a headache for him.

"Thank you, Master."

Meng Chuan bowed deeply.

"Small things."

Zhou Yu smiled but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, he also arrived inside the Heaven and Earth Hall of Yuanchu Mountain.

This treasure, crafted by Ancestor Cangyuan with painstaking effort, has undoubtedly brought immense help to the Cangyuan Realm.

call!
At this moment, Zhou Yu waved his hand, and his power penetrated into the past, quickly bringing a phantom figure to the present.

It was a figure dressed in a black robe with a beard.

"Is this the Heaven and Earth Palace?" The figure recognized the place at a glance, and he also saw Zhou Yu there.

"An eighth-level Tribulation Realm expert?" The figure's expression changed slightly.

"Ancestor Cangyuan, I am from the Cangyuan Realm," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"A person from the Cangyuan Realm?" The figure, to be precise, was the Cangyuan Ancestor, and his heart was filled with amazement.

In the Cangyuan Realm, an Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivator has actually emerged in the future?
How rare and extraordinary is an eighth-tribulation realm expert? He would have found it difficult to meet one in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, he met him after death.

"Ancestor, you should know that once I reach the Eighth Tribulation Realm, I can resurrect all living beings in the history of the Cangyuan Realm," Zhou Yu said.
“If the Ancestor is willing, I can resurrect you and bring you to the present, as well as some of your relatives and friends.”

“I’ve heard that the Eighth Tribulation Realm can make one a world god.” A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of Ancestor Cangyuan. “But once you become a god, you can never leave the Cangyuan Realm, and you can never make any further progress.”

“That’s true.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"Haha, in my entire life, reaching the Seventh Tribulation Realm is already an immense stroke of luck. That some of my descendants have reached the Eighth Tribulation Realm makes me even happier. As for resurrecting me, there's no need," Grandmaster Cangyuan laughed heartily.

“I do not want to be trapped in the Cangyuan Realm, my soul gradually decaying. By then, I may not even be myself anymore.”

Zhou Yu nodded; he wasn't surprised.

In the era of Ancestor Cangyuan, no one in the Cangyuan Realm had ever reached the Tribulation Realm. He left the Cangyuan Realm when he was at the Venerable level and worked his way up to the Seventh Tribulation Realm. You can imagine his state of mind.

Some advanced worlds do indeed have beings at the Seventh Tribulation Realm, but not every being at the Seventh Tribulation Realm is willing to become a world god. It's even less surprising that someone like Ancestor Cangyuan is unwilling to become a world god.

"I don't know your name yet," Master Cangyuan asked Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu".

"Zhou Yu, since you were able to bring me from the past to the present, could you show me the current Cangyuan Realm?" Cangyuan Ancestor asked.

"It's nothing," Zhou Yu nodded.

call!
Zhou Yu's power enveloped Ancestor Cang Yuan, and the two of them stepped away from the Heaven and Earth Hall.

After leaving the Heaven and Earth Palace and arriving at Yuanchu Mountain, Ancestor Cangyuan soon learned that the Cangyuan Sect he had founded had actually split up long ago.

"It seems that a sect being too powerful is not necessarily a good thing," Grandmaster Cangyuan sighed inwardly.

But he had no chance to regret it. Although he came to the future and witnessed all of this, Zhou Yu brought the last moments of the Cangyuan Ancestor before his death with him. Even if he went back, he could not change anything.

Several days later, Patriarch Cangyuan departed.

Zhou Yu's clone who went to the banquet has also returned. He learned a lot from meeting with many Eighth Tribulation Realm experts this time.

The future holds infinite possibilities.

Those at the Eighth Tribulation Realm often appear to be asleep, but this is not true slumber. Rather, they are making their own time stand still or nearly stand still on the "bank" of the River of Time. While they are frozen on the "bank," the River of Time continues to flow relentlessly forward, allowing them to continuously travel into the future.

Many times, treasures or even incredible relics will appear in the future.

At this time, the sleeping Eight Tribulation Realm cultivators would rush to compete for them.

Sometimes, it's a competition between universes, and sometimes it's a competition between multiple universes that can even sweep across an immense area of ​​endless spacetime.

When a treasure or relic emerges that is valuable enough, a massive number of Eight Tribulation Realm experts will appear, unleashing an earth-shattering battle.

However, such battles are extremely rare. Even the Dragon Ancestor only participated once, and most Eight Tribulation Realm cultivators have never participated.
“However, for me, there is no rush to fall asleep and wait.” Zhou Yu naturally understood.

As a newly promoted eighth-level Tribulation Realm cultivator, he is still very young, not even three thousand years old, so naturally he should first cultivate to the limit he can reach.

When there is no more progress to be made, one should sleep and move on to the future to await an opportunity.

. . .

In the blink of an eye, 132 years have passed since Zhou Yu survived his eighth tribulation.

At this time, Meng Chuan had just survived his sixth primordial spirit tribulation, while Zhou Yu had spent the past hundred years perfecting his physical body.

"Based on my interactions with several other ordinary eighth-level physical cultivators, the physical body I have created should be no less powerful than theirs," Zhou Yu pondered.

It should be noted that these people at the Eighth Tribulation Realm of Physical Body have been at the Eighth Tribulation Realm for some time now, and their physical bodies have improved considerably compared to when they first underwent the tribulation.

The fact that Zhou Yu can rival them means that the physical body he created at this moment is three to five times stronger than the physical body that could survive the eighth Heavenly Tribulation.

"I'll focus on improving my physical body first. Anyway, there's still a hundred years before I can transcend the tribulation. Give me another hundred years, and that'll be enough to make my physical body even more perfect."

Zhou Yu pondered this in his heart, and soon he took action.

Boom!

In two locations in the universe, spacetime energy tides formed again, surging wildly towards those two locations.

These are naturally Zhou Yu's two physical bodies.

Although reaching the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm would allow one to abandon the physical body and become an independent primordial spirit life, Zhou Yu did not abandon it. His two physical bodies have always existed, and now he is using the physical structure he created to transform his physical body.

Rumble!
After absorbing a massive amount of energy, Zhou Yu's physical body gradually began to evolve, creating a small universe within his body.

"It's even more perfect than I expected." Zhou Yu nodded with great satisfaction as he felt his body undergoing a transformation.

At this moment, the commotion also attracted the attention of many Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators who were not yet asleep.

"Another person has become an Eight Tribulation Life Form?"

"Wait, it's Zhou Yu!"

At this moment, every Eight Tribulation Realm expert was dumbfounded.

Cultivation time is limited after all. Ordinary people are already struggling to complete one of the two tribulations: the Primordial Spirit Tribulation and the Physical Body Tribulation. Yet Zhou Yu, after reaching the eighth tribulation of the Primordial Spirit Realm, actually created an eighth tribulation physical body.

"It is undoubtedly an eight-tribulation life form; the question is whether it can survive the heavenly tribulation."

Many Eight Tribulation Realm cultivators were no longer in a hurry to fall into slumber. They also wanted to see whether Zhou Yu's Eight Tribulation Realm physical body, created by his Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm cultivator, could withstand the test of the Heavenly Tribulation.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu's two physical bodies sat cross-legged on two stars outside the realm. At the moment the heavenly tribulation arrived, endless black water descended.

The basic components of this black water are so small that even when Zhou Yu probes it with the power of the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm, he cannot see its structure.

Numerous streams of black liquid frantically seeped into the depths of Zhou Yu's body, impossible to stop, leaving him no choice but to let them penetrate.

"It is the Blackwater Calamity."

Having read Dragon Ancestor's mountain of books, Zhou Yu naturally had an understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eighth Tribulation Realm of the Physical Body.

The tribulation at the eighth level of the physical body realm is not as unpredictable as the tribulation at the primordial spirit realm. It tests the physical body, which must not only be strong but also free of defects.

Even if one's physical body is incredibly strong, the slightest flaw will cause them to fail in their tribulation.

This black water tribulation is just like that. It has extremely terrifying corrosiveness. Any drop can turn a top-level physical body at the seventh tribulation realm into a pool of black water. At this moment, a massive amount of black water seeped into every part of Zhou Yu's body. All structures at the micro-particle level were permeated. If there was even the slightest defect, then the entire body would be instantly assimilated into black water.

"This tribulation is much easier than the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit." Zhou Yu even felt relieved at this moment.

There's no way around it, the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit is truly difficult. It depends on luck, and choices are also very important. One wrong move and you lose everything.

This eighth physical tribulation was straightforward, which Zhou Yu found easy.

Isn't it just that the physical body has no defects?
After Zhou Yu acquired this physical body and perfected it over a century, he was confident that there was absolutely no problem with it.

Sure enough, although the terrifying black water continued to seep in and erode, Zhou Yu's physical body remained intact.

finally--

Wow! Wow! Wow!
The endless black water dissipated in the void.

The eighth physical tribulation has passed.

"He's done! He's the first person in our universe to cultivate both physical body and primordial spirit at the Eight Tribulation Realm." Many Eight Tribulation Realm cultivators exclaimed in amazement, and of course, they also sent their congratulations to Zhou Yu via telepathy.

With his physical body and primordial spirit cultivated together, and possessing three thousand clones, Zhou Yu's status in this universe is rising ever higher. Many Eight Tribulation Realm cultivators understand that Zhou Yu's future is destined to be extraordinary, at least reaching the level of the Dragon Ancestor.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye after Zhou Yu survived his physical tribulation.

At this moment, Zhou Yu once again arrived at the top of Demon Mountain and met the master of Demon Mountain.

"This is a secret technique of mind and will that I created after listening to the teachings of Eternity." Zhou Yu handed over a copy of the secret technique to the Master of Demon Mountain, thus settling the karmic debt.

"This is."

The master of Demon Mountain was slightly startled when he saw this secret technique.

Gold, silver, cyan, green, and purple—these are actually five secret colors.

Many people had listened to Eternal Teachings before, and most of them created colorless secret methods, but the Master of Demon Mountain didn't take them seriously.

A very small number of people have created purple-level secret techniques. The master of Demon Mountain is not only willing to meet the creator of the secret technique in person, but also willing to give him a treasure worth ten billion cubic meters of extraterrestrial elemental crystals.

Above the purple secret technique, there is also the golden secret technique, but only two people in the history of Demon Mountain have created it, and the master of Demon Mountain is willing to give the other party a treasure worth hundreds of billions of extraterrestrial crystals.

In fact, the master of Demon Mountain knew that after listening to Eternal's teachings, the highest achievement should be to create the Seven-Colored Secret Technique, which would make him a direct disciple of Eternal.

It should be noted that one must generally be at least at the eighth tribulation realm limit to become an eternal disciple.

The master of Demon Mountain sought the Seven-Colored Secret Technique, but he was not skilled in mental willpower, so he set up Demon Mountain to allow talented beings in the universe to create secret techniques to help him.

The Demon Mountain Master thought it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Yu, who was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, to create a golden secret technique. Unexpectedly, he actually created a five-colored secret technique.

This made the Master of the Demon Mountain both happy and frustrated. He was happy to have seen such a secret technique.

Frustratingly, he had created his own golden secret technique, thinking he was only one step away from the seven-colored secret technique, but now it seems he is still quite far from it.

"Zhou Yu, I accept your secret technique, but the karma involved is something that ordinary treasures can't repay. Do you remember the place I mentioned last time? I'll give you a great opportunity. What do you think?" The Demon Mountain Master asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu naturally nodded. Before he underwent his eighth Nascent Soul Tribulation, the Demon Mountain Master invited him to explore a dangerous place together. The great opportunity that the Demon Mountain Master was talking about now should be that place.

“My other clone is right there. I’ll give you a map. Your primordial spirit clone can go there directly,” the Demon Mountain Master added.

"it is good."

Zhou Yu agreed.

Not long after, Zhou Yu sent an avatar out of the universe and headed towards the place the Demon Mountain Master had mentioned.
P.S.: That's all for today. Tomorrow, we'll start a new world. The world beyond Cang Yuan Tu will be completely different from the original story. I'll write about that later.
