Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 195 Seventh Floor of the Star Tower: Killing the Heavenly Saint Monarch
Within an unremarkable city, the strongest being was merely a Void God in the initial stage of cultivation.

Inside a luxurious mansion, a three-eyed man dressed in a blue robe is enjoying the service of many beautiful maids.

With a single glance, he was presented with exquisite delicacies for his enjoyment.

"Tsk tsk, this kind of life is really comfortable," the three-eyed man thought with great emotion.

He was born from the void, and in his weakest years he lived cautiously every day, fearing that he might die silently one day.

Fortunately, he obtained a Devouring System inheritance, thus beginning his cultivation journey.

The initial and unified realms were quite difficult, as one had to be constantly on guard against being killed by other powerful individuals passing by.

But once you reach the Chaos Realm, everything changes completely.

His ability to travel has been greatly improved. After he finishes eating in one place, he can leave and hide immediately, greatly reducing the danger.

“This city is quite interesting. I’ll live in seclusion here for hundreds of millions of years, and when I get tired of it, I’ll devour this city.” The three-eyed man’s eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Origin World, Zhou Yu was also looking at the three-eyed man.

From Zhou Yu's perspective, this three-eyed man should be a master of the Chaos Realm.

Although the opponent concealed their aura, Zhou Yu observed that there were differences in the strength of beings in this space-time.

Just like before, when he looked around the entire Nine Clouds Continent, the first thing he saw was the Pure One Dharma Ancestor, because the Pure One Dharma Ancestor was the strongest and most conspicuous, just like the bright moon in the night, which was hard to miss.

Some weaker Void Gods are like fireflies; you have to get close and look closely to see them clearly.

Zhou Yu hadn't noticed the three-eyed man when he was far away, but now that he was closer, he realized something was wrong. The man was clearly much more dazzling than a normal Unity Realm cultivator, but Zhou Yu hadn't noticed because he had been hiding his strength from a distance.

Now, Zhou Yu unintentionally approached and discovered his presence.

"A Chaos Realm cultivator hiding their true strength?" Zhou Yu thought to himself, recalling one of his purposes for coming to the Nine Clouds Continent: "Heavenly Saint Monarch."

However, Zhou Yu could not be certain. The Heavenly Saint Monarch was only one possibility. It could also be other Chaos Realm beings who came to the Nine Clouds Continent, or even the Destruction Demon Clan.

"No matter who it is, they will always slip up." Zhou Yu thought to himself. With a thought, several Origin Stones appeared in his hand.

Zhou Yu threw it directly into his mouth, swallowed it without even chewing it.

When he was poor, Zhou Yu was reluctant to consume Origin Stones, but now he has obtained 12 Black Water Pearls in the Nine Clouds Treasure. He had previously sold one in Chunyu City, which was established by the Chunyi Dharma Ancestor, and obtained 3,000 Origin Stones.

Even if he sold them all, Zhou Yu wouldn't be afraid of anything given his current survival skills. However, just to be safe, he decided to sell only one.

Although a single black water bead is precious, it is not enough to cause too much of a stir; there are still many treasures at this level.

Of the three thousand Origin Stones he obtained, Zhou Yu planned to consume two thousand and use the remaining one thousand for cultivation.

Although he only consumed two thousand, Zhou Yu possessed the talent for soul amplification, and the extent of his soul enhancement at this moment was much greater than that of an ordinary Unity Realm cultivator consuming twenty thousand.

As time passed, Zhou Yu stared at the mysterious Chaos Realm, while also pondering and researching his own path. He gained inspiration from the Nine Clouds Treasure and broke through to the sixth level of the Star Tower in terms of the profoundness of the array.

In recent years, there have been attempts to perfect "The Cosmic Body" with higher levels of mystery, but this step is extremely difficult.

If comprehending the mysteries is one difficulty, then creating a physical body is ten.

Of course, once created, and with the help of numerous treasures to refine the physical body, that would be the power of the seventh level of the Star Tower.

At the same time, Zhou Yu was also pondering the mysteries of the void in the lineage of Emperor Jiuyun and the mysteries of the current branches of the Dao of Time.

Previously, Zhou Yu had merged the mysteries of the two star systems at five levels to form the mysteries of spacetime at six levels.

If both paths reach the sixth level of the Star Tower and then merge, that would be the seventh level of the Star Tower's mysteries. Although this branch excels at exploration, travel, and survival, Zhou Yu could still create seventh-level Star Tower techniques using it.

"It's extremely rare for someone to reach the seventh level of the Star Tower in the Unity Realm. There have only been two such individuals in the entire history of the Chaos Void, but I have two paths to achieve it," Zhou Yu thought with emotion.

Of course, this is only theoretical at the moment.

Perhaps Zhou Yu will suddenly grasp the mysteries of the Chaos Realm during his enlightenment and break through to the Chaos Realm first.

In fact, Zhou Yu did feel that he had touched the threshold of the Chaos Realm at this moment.

Zhou Yu had already realized that in order for the system of rules to reach the Chaos Realm, he needed to make his source of rules form a miniature universe. This miniature universe was a "chaotic" universe that could contain many directions.

For example, if Zhou Yu breaks through using "spacetime", the spacetime micro-universe formed during the breakthrough will ultimately evolve into a complete spacetime universe using the "Dao" that encompasses everything in spacetime, at which point he will naturally become a cosmic god.

Of course, these Daos all refer to the Daos at the level of the ruler.

The system of rules is profound. The ultimate level of a single path is the Dominator level, and beyond that, there is a system of rules centered around a single path.

As Zhou Yu stared at the mysterious Chaos Realm for the third thousand years, he perfected his "Cosmic Body".

In the 5,300th year, Zhou Yu discovered that the three-eyed man had deliberately lured several True God Sovereigns and then swallowed them whole.

"It can devour cultivators, or it could destroy the demon race, but its aura is unmistakable." Zhou Yu was now certain that this was most likely the "Heavenly Saint Monarch" he was looking for.

However, Zhou Yu neither took action nor sought help from the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

After observing for some time, Zhou Yu naturally understood that the Heavenly Saint Monarch would likely stay in this small city for a while.

This is a good opportunity for Zhou Yu. As long as he has time to master the "Cosmic Body" or reach the seventh level of the Star Tower in his spacetime path, he can kill his opponent.

After all, Zhou Yu wanted more than just revenge; he also wanted primordial energy. A Chaos Realm cultivator could provide a considerable amount of primordial energy.

Therefore, Zhou Yu naturally chose to do it himself.

The opportunity to act did not wait long. Only a few thousand years later, Zhou Yu finally made another step forward in spacetime, reaching the sixth level of the Star Tower in both void and time, and even merging the mysteries of spacetime at the seventh level.

"I feel even more at home in this special time and space," Zhou Yu said with great satisfaction.

Previously, he had only just begun to explore this path and had only just entered this space-time. But now, Zhou Yu felt much more at ease in this space-time, and his observation skills had also improved significantly.

"Let's figure out another set of combat methods."

Zhou Yu pondered to himself that it wouldn't be difficult to develop a combat method based on the mysteries of spacetime at this moment, but the problem was to make its power reach the level of the seventh level of the Star Tower.

. . .

In an unnamed small town.

The Heavenly Saint Monarch, disguised as a three-eyed man, was lying there enjoying the service of several beautiful maids when suddenly a servant came to report that several true gods and sovereigns were requesting an audience.

"My food has arrived."

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Saint Monarch. Although he had decided to devour this city hundreds of millions of years later, he still needed to have some snacks from time to time.

"Let them in quickly." The Heavenly Saint Monarch stood up abruptly. However, at that very moment—

A sword light suddenly pierced out from spacetime without warning.

This was an incredibly sudden sword strike, a sword strike that pierced through space and time at an extreme speed.

puff!

A sword pierced the back of the Heavenly Saint Monarch with pinpoint accuracy, and the smile on his face froze instantly. He hadn't expected anyone to get close to him and launch a sneak attack.

Although the Heavenly Saint Monarch is only a Chaos Realm cultivator within the Devouring System, a Chaos Realm cultivator is still a Chaos Realm cultivator, and his physical body naturally forms a Chaos Rule Domain, so theoretically it should be impossible for him to be ambushed.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Saint Monarch had no time to think too much. The sudden burst of sword strikes had already caused him considerable injury.

call!
The Heavenly Saint Monarch suddenly transformed into a streak of light, instantly shooting away from the city and rapidly disappearing into the distance.

“This Heavenly Saint Monarch has a very strong vitality. He should be able to reach the peak of the sixth level, and he is not too far from the seventh level.” Zhou Yu stood in that special space-time and watched the Heavenly Saint Monarch escape. Although his sudden sword strike injured the other party, it was not serious enough to seriously injure him.

It should be noted that Zhou Yu's combat method, which he developed by mastering the mysteries of the seventh level, mainly relies on surprise attacks, but its power still reaches the threshold of the seventh level. If an ordinary sixth-level expert of the Star Tower is ambushed, he will most likely die directly, or at least be seriously injured.

"But you can't escape."

Zhou Yu looked ahead, and at that moment, the Heavenly Saint Monarch had already torn through space and time and escaped to a distance of thirty quadrillion miles.

Normally, the Heavenly Saint Monarch wouldn't be able to escape so far from the extremely oppressive Nine Clouds Continent in an instant. He must have used a special treasure he obtained by chance to travel through time and escape.

"Damn it, when did I expose myself? Who attacked me?" At this moment, the Heavenly Saint Monarch was filled with immense fear.

His biggest fear was having his identity discovered. After all, he disliked being restrained, had not pledged allegiance to any faction, and his strength was only average in the Chaos Realm. If exposed, he could easily be killed.

At this moment, the Heavenly Saint Monarch only had the will to escape and no intention to resist.

As for revenge? That's even less likely!

Although the opponent attacked him by surprise, he was able to be injured with a single sword strike, which shows that in a head-on battle, the opponent had a good chance of killing him.

Over the years, the Heavenly Saint Monarch has been cautious and prudent, and his temperament has long been tempered. He will endure what he can, and run away when he can't.

"Fortunately, the treasure I obtained by chance a few years ago is good enough to save my life."

"It seems I'll have to be even more low-key from now on."

The Heavenly Saint Monarch thought to himself.

But at this moment—

Wow!
Suddenly, another sword thrust out from spacetime.

puff!

The sword pierced directly into the head of the Heavenly Saint Monarch.

boom!
The Heavenly Saint Monarch suddenly exploded, then reformed his physical body tens of thousands of miles away, but his aura was noticeably weaker at this time.

"Who is it? Come out if you dare!"

The Heavenly Saint Monarch looked in shock and anger in the direction he had just been, but there was nothing there.

Suddenly at this moment—

Boom!

The sword appeared near the Heavenly Saint Monarch once again. This time, the Heavenly Saint Monarch was on guard and barely managed to block the sword. However, he only managed to block it once, and the sword immediately thrust out a second time, easily piercing into the Heavenly Saint Monarch's body.

Finally, the Heavenly Saint Monarch was terrified. He began to attack his surroundings frantically. When he opened his mouth, he unleashed a terrifying suction power, swallowing all the surrounding matter. His body was like a furnace, melting away everything he swallowed.

But it was no use. A sword that appeared out of nowhere would still occasionally burst forth, causing the Heavenly Saint Monarch's life force to be constantly depleted.

Left with no other choice, the Heavenly Saint Monarch used his trump card several times in succession, instantly escaping to a great distance, even fleeing the Nine Cloud Continent. But no matter how far the Heavenly Saint Monarch escaped, it was useless. From Zhou Yu's perspective, although the Heavenly Saint Monarch instantly crossed a great distance, he was still right under his nose, and he could catch up with him in a single step.

The Heavenly Saint Monarch begged for mercy, threatened him, and tried every means possible, but all to no avail. Zhou Yu's sword seemed to be chasing him like a ghost.

Finally, the Heavenly Saint Monarch exhausted his last bit of life force and collapsed helplessly in the void.
"It really took some effort."

Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly. Firstly, the Heavenly Saint Monarch was considered to be at the peak of the sixth level of the Star Tower. Secondly, his moves were not powerful enough, since the mysteries of spacetime he had comprehended were not suited for attack.

However, he was killed after all.

As Zhou Yu absorbed a large amount of primordial energy, a slight smile appeared on his face. As expected of someone in the Chaos Realm, he was truly incomparable to someone in the Unity Realm.

If we kill more Chaos Realm cultivators, we might be able to start the next simulation.

"And the treasures left by the Heavenly Saint Monarch are also quite good. He was able to escape time and time again, each time covering an extremely long distance. He must have some special treasures, right?" Zhou Yu reached out and quickly collected all the treasures left behind by the Heavenly Saint Monarch.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yu found a silver-white, seashell-shaped treasure in his hand.

"that's it."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed. This treasure contained extremely rich void power. Even without comprehending it, just selling it would be enough to tempt most Chaos Realm giants, given that it could travel 300 trillion miles across the Nine Clouds Continent at once.

It's probably worth at least tens of thousands of Origin Stones!

"With such a treasure, it would be very difficult for an ordinary expert to kill him unless they could kill him instantly," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

But when you encounter him, this treasure becomes useless.

Without much thought, Zhou Yu quickly put away the treasure and prepared to leave.

But at this time—

Zhou Yu glanced into the distance, and suddenly felt a slight pang in his heart.

When Zhou Yu is in a special space-time, his observation perspective is extremely broad and exaggerated, and he can see many things that ordinary life forms cannot detect.

The void that Zhou Yu was looking at at this moment had not seen any life for countless trillions of years. Even if life had passed by, it might not have been able to detect anything unusual.

However, in this special space-time, Zhou Yu could not only see that place, but also discovered that something seemed to exist there.
"What is it?" Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu's mind, and he quickly decided to go and see.

At this point, his ability to protect himself is extremely strong, and he can usually escape danger.

Moreover, perhaps that place wasn't dangerous, but rather his "chosen one" talent was taking effect.
P.S.: That's all for today.
