Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 234 The Marauder's Own Divine Weapon

Soon, Ji Ning broke through to become a Dao Lord in Mangya Kingdom. As soon as he broke through, he announced that he had reached the second step.

No one doubted this.

Firstly, the transition from the first to the second step for Daojun is inherently the easiest. With sufficient accumulation, it's normal for him to quickly reach the second step under accelerated time.

Secondly, even Dao Lords cannot directly judge their realm based on the strength of their aura. Some Dao Lords have had extraordinary encounters when they were weak, or they have a special background and are born with a powerful divine body. After breaking through to Dao Lord, their divine power is even stronger, and naturally their aura is also stronger.

The true strength of many Dao Lords can only be fully determined after they actually make a move.

While Ji Ning was breaking through, Zhou Yu's Cang clone went to say goodbye to the Mangya Overlord.

Inside the main hall of the Mangya Kingdom's royal palace, the Mangya ruler looked at Zhou Yu and said:

“Junior brother, you are currently at a crucial stage of your cultivation and do indeed need more experience. I will not try to stop you. You have the rare artifact left by your master to protect your life, so I don’t need to worry about that. However, I noticed that you do not have a suitable weapon, so I specially asked Emperor Xiubu of the Flame Palace to forge this divine sword for you.”

As the Lord of Mangya spoke, he waved his hand, and six dazzling divine swords flew out.

"A natal divine weapon?" Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, after I showed Xiu Bu the scene of your battle with Tian Dao, he specially created it for you based on the characteristics of your Dao," the Mangya Overlord said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Zhou Yu cupped his hands in thanks, understanding that the Lord of Mangya had truly put in the effort.

Since he came to Mangya Kingdom, the Mangya ruler has indeed helped him a lot.

Although the main reason was that the gratitude of the Mangya Lord towards the Yu Zou Lord influenced his attitude towards him, he did indeed benefit from it.

"This is just a small matter." Lord Mangya stroked his beard and smiled without saying more.

Soon, Zhou Yu took his leave.

As the Lord of Mangya watched Zhou Yu's departing figure, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When Zhou Yu first arrived in Mangya Kingdom, the Mangya Ruler also noticed that Zhou Yu's talent was extremely outstanding and that he had received the inheritance of two Time and Space Dao Rulers, including himself, so there was some hope for him to achieve Dao Integration in the future, but that was all.

But now, in just fifty or sixty thousand years, the Lord of Mangya feels that Zhou Yu is somewhat unpredictable.

"My junior brother has changed a lot. Perhaps he has a second primordial spirit. What has his second primordial spirit experienced?" Lord Mangya wondered to himself.

. . .

the other side--

Zhou Yu, his main body, You Cang's avatar, and Ji Ning quickly left Mangya Kingdom via a space-time teleportation array and returned to the Dao Alliance territory.

Ji Ning first returned to Tiancang Palace. He was kidnapped by the Lord of Mangya when he was chasing the three divine beasts, Wujiao, along with the powerful figures of Tiancang Palace. The main purpose of his return was to send back the world gods of Tiancang Palace who were kidnapped with him.

After that, the three of them went to Tianmu Holy City, one of the eight holy cities of the Dao Alliance.

Ji Ning was here for the first time. He was only allowed to enter after his identity was verified and he joined the Dao Alliance. Zhou Yu and You Cang's clone, on the other hand, had been here before, so they did not need to verify their identities again.

The holy city is built on clouds and mist, with pavilions and caves standing tall, and powerful array formations and restrictions visible everywhere.

"The Dao Alliance truly lives up to its reputation as the number one power in the endless territory. Just the Heavenly Wood Holy City alone boasts countless powerful figures. I've only been here a short while, and I've already seen several Dao Lords," Ji Ning remarked.

"The Dao Alliance is powerful, but its rules are lax. They can act freely as long as it's not within the area protected by array formations," Zhou Yu said, shaking his head.

"When we first came to this holy city when we were still at the World Realm, we were robbed by a Fourth Step Dao Lord. Fortunately, we had a special treasure that saved our lives."

"A Four-Step Dao Lord abducted?" Ji Ning frowned upon hearing this.

"It's all about the allure of treasures. Back then, I sold a treasure worth a hundred million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid," Zhou Yu's Cang clone said.

At that time, he had just received the inheritance of the Overlord Yu Zou. The Overlord Yu Zou left him a pile of extremely valuable ores. He sold less than a tenth of them, which amounted to 100 million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

It should be noted that the drop of eternal divine blood obtained from the Pantheon was only worth three million cubic meters.

"One hundred million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid?" Ji Ning was secretly shocked. He now understood why the Fourth-Step Dao Lord had tried to plunder it; indeed, wealth was a powerful motivator.

Even an ordinary fourth-step Dao Lord might not accumulate this many treasures in a lifetime, yet a World Realm cultivator possesses so many—how could anyone not be tempted?
“However, things are different now. I actually hope that more raiders will come,” Zhou Yu said with a smile, looking at a pavilion in front of him.

At this moment, inside the pavilion, a figure dressed in black robes was staring at Zhou Yu and his companions.

"It really is him. I didn't expect that in just tens of thousands of years, he would become a Dao Lord, and his aura seems quite strong." The figure in black robes narrowed his eyes.

He cultivated in Tianmu Holy City and rarely made a move, but the fact that a World Realm cultivator sold a treasure worth 100 million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid did indeed make him envious.

But to his surprise, even after he made a move, the other party still managed to escape.

He never expected that in just tens of thousands of years, this world's realm had broken through to the Dao Lord level, and that he would encounter it once again.

"Forget it, I couldn't succeed back then, let alone now?" The figure in black robes suppressed his greed and quickly closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

On the other side, Zhou Yu's two clones had temporarily separated from Ji Ning.

Ji Ning went to deal with the treasures he had acquired in the other universe and to purchase some materials for cultivation techniques, while Zhou Yu's two clones went to select natal divine weapons for their main body.

The avatar of You Cang had its natal divine weapon prepared with the help of the Lord of Mangya, so there was no need to worry. However, the main body did not yet have a suitable weapon.

Zhou Yu went directly to "Yu Bao Dian," one of the three major shops in Tianmu Holy City. It is said that Yu Bao Dian has the most unclaimed natal divine weapons and the best quality.

"May I ask what your requirements are for your natal divine weapon, fellow Daoist?" a female Daoist in charge of reception asked with a smile.

"It must be suitable for array formations, and of the highest quality," Zhou Yu said directly. "Suitable for array formations? This hall does have a treasure that guards the hall, but..." The female Daoist looked troubled.

"Just what?"

"However, the price is extremely high," the female Daoist said.

“Price is not an issue,” Zhou Yu’s Cang clone said. “Take a look at the treasure first.”

"This treasure was personally crafted by our Heavenly Palace Master, and its value was also determined by him. It requires 880 million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid," the female Daoist Lord added.

"Eight hundred and eighty million square meters?"

Zhou Yu frowned.

The natal divine weapon of the Cang clone was specially crafted by an Eternal Emperor at the request of the Mangya Ruler. It is much more precious than a normal natal divine weapon, but it is estimated to be only two or three hundred million cubic meters.

Eight hundred and eighty million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid—most peak Dao Lords might not be able to gather that much without pulling out some of their most treasured possessions.

“In that case, I’m even more eager to see this treasure,” Zhou Yu said. “I just don’t know if your Heavenly Palace is all talk and no action.”

"Fellow Daoists, you'll understand once you follow me. That treasure is stored in the treasury, and I have no authority to retrieve it," the female Daoist Lord said directly.

However, she was also secretly wondering if these two Dao Lords, who were unknown, could really produce such a fortune.

She only mentioned this treasure in the first place to highlight the profound heritage of their Tianyu Palace.

Zhou Yu quickly followed the female Daoist into a treasure vault. In a void shrouded by layers of arrays, a disc about half a person's height floated there.

"Is this it?" Zhou Yu's mental energy permeated the area, and his mental energy was not blocked.

Zhou Yu quickly discovered that the disc was not a single piece, but rather composed of 108 divine swords and a smaller array base.

"A sword formation?" Zhou Yu understood now.

The effort, treasures, and materials required to forge a complete sword formation will far exceed those required to forge a single weapon of the same level.

To forge a sword formation into a natal divine weapon is indeed somewhat insane.

“These are actually 109 natal divine weapons. The array base and the 108 divine swords all fully bear the origin. However, they are different from 109 randomly scattered natal divine weapons. They are much easier to control.” Zhou Yu sensed this and quickly understood.

Only with an array base as a foundation can one control 108 natal divine weapons and swords. Otherwise, it would be difficult for an ordinary Dao Lord to do so. After all, each natal divine weapon carries the complete Dao, and even if one forcibly controls it, it cannot unleash enough power.

Looking at it this way, 880 million cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid doesn't seem too expensive.

After all, if the 109 natal divine weapons are sold separately, there is a good chance that they can be sold for a billion cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

However, the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace, who crafted this set of treasures, probably wouldn't be willing to sell them separately.

Taken together, they are a treasure.

Sold separately, it's just 109 ordinary divine weapons.

“Alright, this is it.” Zhou Yu’s Cang clone said, “I have some treasures here that I can use to exchange for this natal divine weapon.”

Upon hearing this, the female Daoist was taken aback.

She truly hadn't expected that these two Dao Lords could produce such a large sum of money.

"Please wait a moment, I will contact the deputy hall master immediately." The female Daoist hurriedly spoke, as she could not make a decision on such a large sum of money.

After much effort, Zhou Yu finally obtained his destined divine weapon.

Zhou Yu used up most of the treasures left behind by the Overlord Yu Zou, but he was still quite satisfied.

"I wonder if pulling out 880 million cubic meters of treasure at once will attract robbers?" Zhou Yu pondered to himself.

There is no such thing as absolutely confidential information, and besides, the Heavenly Palace might not even be able to keep it a secret for him.

However, even after Zhou Yu had been out of the Tianyu Palace for a long time, he had not encountered anyone robbing him, which made him shake his head in disappointment.

What disappointed Zhou Yu even more was that the four-step Dao Lord who had robbed him back then, even though he had already discovered him, seemed to have no intention of taking action.

"I have no choice but to kill him by force," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Since the enemy was hiding in the forbidden area of ​​Tianmu Holy City where they were fighting and killing, Zhou Yu initially had no intention of forcibly taking action.

But since the other party refused to leave, Zhou Yu had no choice but to take action.

Zhou Yu was naturally unwilling to let go of the grudge from the robbery, and he couldn't possibly wait in Tianmu Holy City for a long time until the other party came out, so he had no choice but to take action.

The rules of Tianmu Holy City are only valid if he is willing to abide by them; if he is unwilling to abide by them, they are invalid.

However, just as Zhou Yu was thinking about it...

Suddenly at this moment—

Rumble!
A violent fluctuation emanated from afar, and Zhou Yu sensed Ji Ning's divine power within it.

"Hmm? They've already started fighting?" Zhou Yu wondered to himself, and then he rushed over.

P.S.: That's all for today.
