Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 192 The Secret of the Cosmic Passage: The Original Murderer

call!
With a single time-space travel, Zhou Yu appeared in a remote place in the universe.

This is an old lair shrouded in layers of magic arrays. Zhou Yu immediately noticed that there were several leaders of the Mother Ancestor Cult and dozens of Mother Ancestor Cult protectors inside the lair.

They gathered together, their faces filled with disbelief and panic.

Clearly, they already knew about the deaths of the twelve cult leaders who had left earlier, and even the avatars of the Mother Ancestor Universe who had perished as well.

"Let's all die together."

Zhou Yu showed no mercy at this moment. His soul power easily penetrated the layers of magic arrays, bewitching these Mother Ancestor Sect experts. One by one, they lost their life force and fell there.

A burst of power turned everyone's bodies into dust.

"It's over." Zhou Yu shook his head.

Deep within the Mother Ancestor Cult's lair, in a void spanning approximately ten thousand miles, a space-time dimension completely collapsed, forming an oval-shaped black opening. Around the opening, numerous wisps of mist emanated an astonishing aura.

"Is this the cosmic passage?" Zhou Yu looked at it with great curiosity, but he was not in a hurry to destroy it.

"The cosmic passage that can allow a ruler-level life form to pass through must be the largest cosmic passage that can be formed naturally," Zhou Yu understood.

External void gods cannot enter the universe; the universe will instinctively reject them, making it impossible to form a cosmic passage at the level of void gods.

"The chaotic void is incredibly vast, even the cosmic gods struggle to travel there. Yet, spacetime channels can form between different universes. Is it because these universes are very similar, or is there some other reason?" Zhou Yu pondered, then sat down cross-legged to study and ponder in detail.

Zhou Yu's power also seeped into the cosmic passage in strands. Forcing his main body into it would cause the cosmic passage to collapse, but it was not difficult for a strand of power to seep in.

Soon, a smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

"This cosmic passage is truly amazing."

At this moment, Zhou Yu vaguely understood that all the spacetime in the universes in the chaotic void was connected to a special spacetime layer. The rules in this spacetime layer were very mysterious. Even if different universes were far apart in the normal void, they could be very close in this spacetime layer and connected through the cosmic channel.

"I believe I'm not the first to discover this."

Zhou Yu understood that while he might have a high level of expertise in spacetime, even if the Cosmic Gods weren't proficient in spacetime, they certainly knew this, since they had created many universes.

"But I'm afraid there aren't many who can truly understand all the mysteries involved," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.

Zhou Yu struck out with his palm, destroying this cosmic passage.

"Entering that special spacetime layer is as difficult as ascending to heaven." Zhou Yu realized this at this moment, and that it was impossible to enter it by simply comprehending the mysteries of the cosmic passage.

He still needs to continue accumulating knowledge and studying the mysteries of time and space.

call!
Following his senses, Zhou Yu took a step and arrived at a point in spacetime where spacetime was weak.

boom!
Zhou Yu threw a punch, and a burst of power erupted instantly.

Rumble!
This spacetime was instantly shattered into nothingness, becoming a void black hole.

With Zhou Yu's current strength, if he were to target the entire universe, he could cause irreversible damage to this cosmic era, causing the universe to enter the next era ahead of schedule.

However, since Zhou Yu was controlling his power at this moment, targeting only this specific space-time, it had little impact.

At this moment, the completely shattered spacetime was gradually recovering, and nothing happened, which made Zhou Yu frown slightly.

"It seems it's not that simple. Let's try again." Zhou Yu thought to himself as he headed to another area where spacetime was weak.

Zhou Yu's repeated bursts of power, shattering space and time, quickly attracted attention.

In the origin of the universe, there is a small landmass with three thatched huts. In front of the huts, an old man and a black dog are staring at Zhou Yu.

The Old Ancestor Tianyu created this universe and left behind a place called "The Land of Beginning," which is both an opportunity and a way to protect this universe.

That black dog was actually a puppet, a puppet with the strength of the Chaos Realm.

Although he barely reached the threshold of the sixth level of the Star Tower, he was still at the Chaos Realm level.
"What is the Flame Lord doing?"

The old man and the black dog stared at him nervously. Although Zhou Yu deliberately controlled his power to prevent it from leaking out, in reality, every strike he made could bring this cosmic era to an early end.

In fact, they noticed Zhou Yu when he reached the Unity Realm and realized that he was not an ordinary cultivator, but rather a powerful being from outside who had been reincarnated into this universe.

However, since they were cultivators of the profound system of rules, and Zhou Yu's various actions showed that he regarded this universe as his home, the two were quite at ease.

Even recently, Zhou Yu's complete annihilation of the Mother Ancestor Cult was something they greatly admired.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, Zhou Yu started doing such dangerous things.
"It should be fine. His disciples haven't transcended yet. When this cosmic era ends, his disciples will also perish. He must know this. It's impossible for him to really harm the universe itself." The black dog watched for a while and then suddenly said.

"Yes, Lord Flamefire certainly values ​​his disciple highly." The old man nodded slightly.

At this moment, the man and dog who were talking suddenly froze. Zhou Yu threw a punch, and this time space and time did not shatter. Instead, it collapsed, instantly forming a dark hole about a hundred miles in size.

"A cosmic passage?"

The old man and the black dog were both stunned.

"After ten attempts, I finally succeeded once."

Zhou Yu looked at the cosmic passage before him and nodded in satisfaction.

This cosmic passage is a hundred miles in diameter, so it must be a large cosmic passage.

"It would be a shame to destroy it. Let's tell Bloodblade God Emperor and the others." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it. After telling Bloodblade God Emperor and the other rulers the location of the cosmic passage, he left.

Before long, the Blood Blade God Emperor, the Primordial Master, and other rulers appeared here one after another. They looked at the cosmic passage with surprise on their faces.

Large-scale cosmic tunnels are extremely rare.

Of course, this also means crisis, since powerful beings from the opposite universe might come.

"It was Lord Flamefire who told us, but where is Lord Flamefire?" Master Yuanchu asked in confusion.

“This cosmic passage is useless to him.” Bloodblade God Emperor shook his head and said, “He has already become a Void God.”

"What? The God of the Void?"

Everyone was astonished.

"The Mother Ancestor Cult has also been destroyed by the Flame Lord," Bloodblade God Emperor added.

"When did this happen?" The Time-Space Island Master frowned. "How come I didn't sense anything at all?"

Bloodblade God Emperor didn't say anything more. Telling them that Zhou Yu's strength was likely comparable to that of the Demon Ancestor back then was meaningless.

"With the Flame Lord overseeing our universe, everything is foolproof. This large cosmic passage is very rare. Shall we go in and take a look?" Bloodblade God Emperor asked.

"Haha, it's a rare opportunity, so of course we have to go and take a look." Everyone agreed without much thought.

Many of them had been to other universes, but it would be difficult to go again after becoming a ruler. Naturally, they were unwilling to let this opportunity pass them by.

The main point is that it's easy for the rulers of the mysterious system of rules to create clones; at worst, they can lose one clone, which is nothing.

After making some preparations, everyone followed the cosmic passage into the other universe.
. . .

the other side--

Inside the Time Palace of the Taixu Heavenly Palace in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm.

Zhou Yu sat cross-legged on a rocky star that spanned millions of miles. His physical body emitted a hazy light, and around him were twenty Origin Stones and numerous treasures. The power of these Origin Stones and treasures surged into Zhou Yu's body like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's physical body was a vast array, with numerous forces constantly surging into his body, propelling the array and causing his physical body to continuously transform.

With time accelerated ten thousand times, tens of millions of years passed before this transformation finally ended.

"This will be the first Chaos Realm level power I have mastered." Zhou Yu felt the surging power and was very satisfied.

Previously, Zhou Yu's knowledge had greatly increased after viewing the numerous intricate and profound texts of the Myriad Manifestations Palace. His understanding of the Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of Arrays, and the Dao of Destruction had all reached the fifth level of the Star Tower. However, Zhou Yu also understood that he was still some distance away from reaching the Chaos Realm.

However, not reaching the Chaos Realm does not mean one cannot possess the strength at the Chaos Realm level. The sixth level of the Star Tower is considered the initial stage of entering the Chaos Realm.

After perfecting his ultimate technique, "Cosmic Body," using the profound array of the fifth level of the Star Tower, Zhou Yu spent many treasures to cultivate this technique. Zhou Yu judged that his physical body should be at the sixth level of the Star Tower.

"The Cosmic Body technique is very powerful; it can directly elevate my strength to a higher level, but it consumes too much energy," Zhou Yu shook his head.

He had previously earned a million merit points as an inner hall elder, and had spent 800,000 of them just to exchange for various treasures. He had also used up most of his own Origin Stones, leaving him with less than ten at the moment.

“Cultivation is impossible without resources.” Zhou Yu understood that he also had to find a way to earn some treasures.

"Let's test our strength first."

Zhou Yu pondered this in his heart, and he also temporarily left the Time Palace.

In the Taixu Hall, the Old Ancestor Tianyu was sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Oh? Qianyu went to challenge the Star Tower again?" Ancestor Tianyu was quite expectant.

How far can a genius who can cultivate to the Star Tower from the initial stage on his own go after cultivating in the Taixu Heavenly Palace for a period of time?

"The fifth level, you passed it so easily?" Ancestor Tianyu was quickly taken aback.

He anticipated that Zhou Yu would make great progress, but at this point, he had only been in the Taixu Heavenly Palace for a short time, just over ten thousand years, and even with time acceleration, it would only be less than two hundred million years.

In the eyes of Ancestor Tianyu, Zhou Yu's passing of the fourth level was a normal performance, and the fifth level was a pleasant surprise, considering that he had not been cultivating for long.

But now, Zhou Yu has easily passed the fifth floor.

"Could he possibly pass the sixth level?" Ancestor Tianyu wondered.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had already entered the sixth floor of the Star Tower and was fighting against the Destruction Demons on that floor.

At this moment, Zhou Yu did not use any other moves; he was simply fighting with his own physical body.

Previously, when he tried to enter the Star Tower, he couldn't pass the third level with his physical body alone. But now it's different. After reading many books in the Myriad Manifestations Hall, Zhou Yu has completely perfected his unique skills.

At this time, his "Cosmic Body" was not much different from the ultimate techniques of the same level as those of the Cosmic God.

Physical martial arts techniques, which involve tempering the body with numerous treasures, enable one to fight against opponents of higher levels.

There was only one Destruction Demon on the sixth floor of the Star Tower. However, unlike the previous gray-armored Destruction Demon, this one was wearing blood-red armor and possessed the strength of the Chaos Realm threshold even when alone.

Moreover, his power possesses a terrifying corrosive force; even ordinary cultivators at the Unity Realm would be instantly eroded clean if they were touched by even a trace of it.

However, Zhou Yu was completely unafraid at this moment, as he transformed into a colossal giant.

Enduring all attacks from the blood-red armored demon, he unleashed a furious barrage of punches, each one suppressing space and time, forcing the blood-red armored demon to dodge with difficulty.

Although Zhou Yu could only land one of his ten punches, that one punch would severely injure the blood-red armored demon.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Destruction Demon had already been turned into a puppet, and now it was not afraid of death at all, and was locked in a stalemate with Zhou Yu.

finally--

Boom!

Zhou Yu slammed the Destruction Demon into the ground with a single punch, injuring it once again.

The accumulated injuries also erupted at this moment, and the Destruction Demon was ultimately unable to take flight again.

"Won."

Zhou Yu felt a pang of regret.

His physical body appears to be intact, but the most distinctive feature of his "Cosmic Body" is that it is a complete whole, which makes his damage tolerance limit extremely high. However, once his defenses are breached, he will be seriously injured immediately.

The corrosive power of the destructive demons was about to break through his defenses.

Fortunately, in the end, it was the Destruction Demon who died first.

"It seems I still need to figure out some killer moves. Relying solely on physical strength is still too weak for killing enemies," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

call!
Zhou Yu quickly flew out of the Star Tower. At this moment, he saw a hunchbacked old man appear in front of him at some point.

“Ancestor.” Zhou Yu flew over.

"Being able to pass the sixth level of the Star Tower, Qianyu, you are worthy of leaving your name in the chaotic void." Ancestor Tianyu looked at Zhou Yu with great emotion.

Extremely few people at the Unity Realm have passed the sixth level of the Star Tower. There are none in the current Taixu Heavenly Palace, and there are only a dozen or so Unity Realm experts at the sixth level of the Star Tower still alive in the entire Chaos Void.

Being able to pass through the six levels of the Star Tower is indeed enough to be remembered by the entire chaotic void.

"My physical strength was also tempered by many treasures," Zhou Yu said. In the realm of pure rules and mysteries, he was still at the fifth level of the Star Tower.

"To be able to create such a physical technique, that's your strength. Not everyone can create such a physical body," Ancestor Tianyu remarked, but he didn't say anything more.

"With your strength, would you like to go out and explore?" Ancestor Tianyu asked.

“That’s the idea,” Zhou Yu nodded.

He had read through most of the scriptures in the Taixu Heavenly Palace, and his resources were almost exhausted. If he continued to stay in the Taixu Heavenly Palace, he could still make progress, but the speed would probably slow down.

The key point is that with Zhou Yu's current strength, as long as he doesn't act too ostentatiously, he can protect himself.

"Let's go to the Nine Clouds Continent," said Ancestor Tianyu.

"Nine Clouds Continent?" Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback. He wanted to visit the Nine Clouds Continent in the future.

That place was once the residence of a second-level cosmic god, "Emperor Jiuyun," who also left behind an opportunity there.

Emperor Jiuyun is a powerful figure in the Void School. If Zhou Yu can obtain the opportunity left behind by him, it will be of great benefit to him.

However, Zhou Yu was naturally very puzzled at this moment. Although he wanted to go, he had never shown any interest in it. Why did Ancestor Tianyu ask him to go to the Nine Cloud Continent?
"Take a look at this document." Ancestor Tianyu handed a document to Zhou Yu.

After reading it, Zhou Yu's gaze quickly turned icy.

“The Heavenly Saint Monarch.” Zhou Yu understood.

The Heavenly Saint Monarch is a Chaos Realm cultivator with a devouring system. He came to the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm eight hundred billion years ago and secretly devoured many cities and living beings.

Among them is Zhou Yu's hometown during the simulation.

Zhou Yu then realized that it must have been the Old Ancestor Tianyu who discovered this matter, and he had gone to reverse time to find the culprit from back then.

"Thank you, ancestor."

Zhou Yu bowed and thanked him. Although his state of mind was different from that of his simulated self, he still wanted to avenge this grudge.

“This Heavenly Saint is extremely cautious and usually doesn’t stay in one place for too long. He secretly devoured some things in the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm and then left.” Ancestor Tianyu’s gaze was quite cold at this moment.

The Holy Monarch of Heaven dared to come to the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm to devour; he was truly too audacious.

“A million years ago, someone discovered traces of the Heavenly Saint Monarch on the Nine Clouds Continent; he might still be there,” said Ancestor Tianyu.

"I've already had someone investigate, and I'll let you know once I find any trace of him."

"However, although the Heavenly Saint Monarch is not at the seventh level of strength, he is still a Chaos Realm cultivator and is stronger than you. If you encounter him, do not act rashly. I will send reinforcements to help you!" Ancestor Tianyu added.

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded.

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