Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 205 The Trial at Demon Suppression Valley
Wow!
Zhou Yu quickly arrived at a courtyard of the Xia Clan Academy, where two figures were sitting cross-legged.

One of the silver-haired elders was Xia Fengjie, whom Zhou Yu had met outside the Book World before.

"Xia Yuzhou? His aura has improved considerably." Xia Fengjie looked up at Zhou Yu, secretly surprised.

Three hundred thousand years ago, he thought Zhou Yu was quite ordinary, but now, he felt that he couldn't quite see through Zhou Yu.

"Seniors, I wish to participate in the competition for the Eternal Land," Zhou Yu said, bowing slightly.

"Xia Yuzhi"

The figure next to Xia Fengjie glanced at Zhou Yu and recognized him at a glance.

"The assessment for the Eternal Land is in Demon Suppression Valley this time. Are you sure you want to go?" Xia Fengjie asked.

"Demon Suppression Valley?"

Zhou Yu was secretly alarmed; of course he knew about the Demon Suppression Valley.

The Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom captures many prisoners at the Chaos Realm and above, who are then imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Valley. The Demon Suppression Valley itself is not a good place and is fraught with danger, not to mention the prisoners being held there.

Of course, most prisoners can't escape, but it's hard to say.

In fact, the Xia clan has produced far more than a hundred Chaos Realm experts since its inception, but most of them, except for those who became Cosmic Gods, have died.

In such resource competitions, it is common for beings at the Chaos Realm to perish.

This "Demon Suppression Valley" is clearly an extremely dangerous place to die, since not every Chaos Realm cultivator has the talent to cultivate several paths such as the Void Path and create clones.

"I go."

Zhou Yu didn't think much about it and quickly agreed.

Even if he hadn't cultivated an avatar, his current survival abilities would be sufficient to protect himself.

"In that case, you can take this token." Another figure waved his hand, and a black token flew out.

call!
After Zhou Yu accepted the token, the figure said, "With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Demon Suppression Valley for 100,000 years, but you are not allowed to bring anyone with you. In addition, you will have three chances to open the cage."

"As for the test content, it involves killing prisoners and seizing their tokens," Xia Fengjie said.

"Ten thousand years from now, come here with the token of the prisoner you killed. The stronger and more survivable the prisoner you killed, the higher your final ranking will be. But you can only fight one enemy at a time, and you are not allowed to team up."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "What if someone else happens to have chosen the same prisoner as me?"

“Only one person can enter the same cage at a time. Whoever enters first gets to try first,” Xia Fengjie said.

"understood."

Zhou Yu nodded, cupped his hands in greeting, and quickly left.

. . .

Zhou Yu quickly left Xia Clan Academy, but instead of heading to Demon Suppression Valley, he went to buy some information about it.

"Demon Suppression Valley, originally named Burning Valley, is where the flames of annihilation are born, capable of burning the flesh and soul. Later, it was transformed by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom into a place to imprison death row inmates, hence the name 'Demon Suppression Valley'." Zhou Yu looked at this information and understood that in addition to imprisoning prisoners, Demon Suppression Valley probably also had the effect of torture.

The prisoners, having endured endless years of torment, were likely not in their prime.

"According to records, there are a total of 3,123 death row inmates imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Valley. Most of them are at the Chaos Realm, but there are also a few Cosmic Gods." Zhou Yu was secretly shocked.

That's an outrageous number.

Although this number has been accumulated since countless ages ago, it is indeed too much. There probably aren't that many Chaos Realm cultivators in the entire Chaos Void right now.

"The prisoners are mostly demons captured by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, with a small number being Chaos Realm cultivators from our own country," Zhou Yu nodded upon seeing this.

Although some demons dared to carry out blood sacrifices within the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom also launched wars against those forces, and clearly suppressed many demons.

"Go and see."

At this moment, Zhou Yu no longer hesitated. He quickly left the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom and headed to the Zhenmo Valley, which was not far away.

The sky was dark red, and the intense heat, which even ordinary Void Gods at the Unity Realm could hardly endure, permeated every corner of space and time.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had already verified his identity and arrived inside the Demon Suppression Valley.

"This is just the outer area; what's truly terrifying is the depths, the prison within." Zhou Yu continued his journey deeper into the valley.

Occasionally, you'll encounter stone tablets along the way, each inscribed with some information.

Each of these stone tablets represents the entrance to a prison cell, and the information recorded on the tablets is naturally that of the prisoners.

Combining the intelligence he had purchased outside with the information on the stone tablet, Zhou Yu quickly gained a certain understanding of the prisoners who were still being held.

“Historically, more than three thousand powerful individuals were imprisoned here, but now there are probably only a thousand or so left. Moreover, those who survived are either strong enough or have certain survival skills,” Zhou Yu understood.

"My first target is the Lord of Five Thunder City." Zhou Yu quickly selected his target.

This is a demon who once came to the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom to cause trouble with a certain cosmic god, but was encountered by a reclusive cosmic god, who suppressed him on the spot and then imprisoned him here.

Whoosh!
Zhou Yu quickly arrived in front of a stone tablet. Using his token, he discovered that no one had entered the cage where the Five Thunder City Lord was imprisoned.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu used the token to open the first cage.

hum!
A beam of light shone into the stone tablet, and a vortex passage appeared in front of it.

Zhou Yu stepped inside without hesitation.

As he entered, Zhou Yu's mind stirred, and he quickly entered the deepest level of the Realm Heart Continent, the space-time closest to the Infinite Chaos Space.

This was a world roughly a hundred miles in size, shrouded in terrifying flames. A figure clad in tattered armor sat cross-legged at the center of this world. "Hmm?"

The figure suddenly opened its eyes and looked ahead, but everything was calm, as if nothing was wrong.

"It's been too long, so long that I'm starting to have illusions?" The figure felt the terrifying flames around him, and his soul was now filled with exhaustion.

Suddenly, terrifying lightning surged from the figure's body, filling the entire space.

"Damn Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom!"

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

"Once I get out, I'll kill you all, kill you all!"

The figure roared, but his attacks were clearly no match for the world. In the end, he could only sit there cross-legged, silently enduring the scorching flames.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was also observing from the deepest level of space.

"The mysteries contained in this cage are terrifying. Even with the help of this special space, I cannot escape," Zhou Yu realized.

It is said that the imprisoned cosmic gods all have a second level, so it is clear that this Demon Suppression Valley was carefully built by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, and it is indeed not so easy to escape.

"The Lord of Five Thunder City, after being imprisoned for so long, has begun to go a little mad," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"Moreover, his attack just now clearly possessed the power of a cosmic god, which is equivalent to the tenth level of the Chaos Realm." Zhou Yu understood that the secret treasure on the Five Thunder City Lord's body had not been confiscated by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom.

It was probably intentional on the part of the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom; these prisoners were originally intended to hone the younger generation.

"In other words, killing a prisoner can also yield the treasures they carry." Zhou Yu thought to himself with great emotion. This test, if you don't aim to kill powerful opponents, can easily yield a lot of treasures.

The benefits of the Xia family's Chaos Realm are truly numerous.

"Of course, for me, there's also the gain of primordial energy." Zhou Yu no longer hesitated and began to approach the Lord of Five Thunder City little by little.

Given Zhou Yu's ability to conceal himself, and the fact that the Lord of Five Thunder City was not good at detection, he did not sense Zhou Yu until he came up behind him.

Until a sword suddenly appeared—

puff!

He pierced the head of the Lord of Five Thunder City with a single sword strike.

Boom!

The terrifying power converged from the past and the future, instantly reaching the tenth level of the Chaos Realm.

"Damn!!!"

The Lord of Five Thunder City roared, instantly transforming into lightning in an attempt to dodge the attack.

But he did take a real hit from Zhou Yu, so how could he completely avoid the damage?

Whoosh!
A tiny bolt of lightning shot out and quickly transformed back into the appearance of the Lord of Five Thunder City, except that his face was now pale and his aura had decreased by more than half.

"No wonder he's survived this long; his ability to protect himself is indeed impressive." Zhou Yu appeared in space-time at this moment. His attack was definitely at full power and hit the target squarely.

Even a cosmic god who is not good at preserving his life would die instantly, yet the Lord of Five Thunder City actually survived.

"From the ancient Xiafeng Kingdom?"

"Die!"

A five-colored sharp cone appeared in front of the Lord of Five Thunder City.

The Lord of Five Thunder City wielded a sharp cone and thrust it fiercely. This was the renowned Five Thunder Divine Cone, which made the Lord of Five Thunder City a top-tier attacker even among those at the tenth level of the Chaos Realm.

However, Zhou Yu faced this attack calmly and didn't even try to dodge.

His figure was somewhat blurry, not only merging into the void, but also seemingly not existing in the "now" of time.

Therefore, no matter how fierce the Five Thunder City Lord's attack was, it couldn't hurt Zhou Yu.

"Although this move of mine is not yet fully perfected, I can completely ignore the power of ordinary Chaos Realm level 10 cultivators." Zhou Yu was very calm.

Both the void and time are extremely adept at preserving life. The fusion of the two paths in terms of preserving life, even if not perfect, is still incredibly powerful.

It's far more effective at saving lives than the Five Thunder City Lord's move of transforming into lightning.

At this moment, Zhou Yu strolled forward, and the divine sword in his hand erupted once more, shattering space and time.

With only a narrow space of about a hundred miles, the Lord of Five Thunder City had no way to avoid the attack and could only take it head-on.

call!
The Five Thunder City Lord's aura weakened again, but he didn't care at all.

He roared and unleashed a barrage of attacks, trying to kill Zhou Yu, but it was all in vain.

In the blink of an eye, the last bit of life force of the Lord of Five Thunder City was also exhausted, and he was completely reduced to ashes.

“Although the Lord of Five Thunder City possesses the strength of a Cosmic God, he ultimately relies on a secret treasure; he himself is only at the ninth level of the Chaos Realm.” Zhou Yu absorbed the other party’s source energy and quickly shook his head in his heart.

The amount of primal energy absorbed from killing the Lord of Five Thunder City this time was far less than when I killed that Destroyer of the Demon Clan's Cosmic God last time.

"But this Five Thunder God Cone is a good treasure." Zhou Yu thought to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he put the Five Thunder God Cone away.

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