Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 248 Final Breakthrough, Fourth Step of the Ultimate Array Dao

Within the Yi Bo boundary.

With the appearance of the Crimson Wave Palace, the Dao Lords rushed there one after another.

The Dao Lords weren't interested in the fruits of the Crimson Wave Palace, but the three final Cave-Dwelling Jade Talismans were among them, which drove them crazy.

Of course, the fastest team was Zhou Yu's group.

Even though Zhou Yu didn't use the power of the "Heart of the Array Dao" much along the way, relying solely on Daoist Da Mo's deductions and Zhou Yu's array-breaking techniques to advance, he was still the fastest.

Moreover, on the way to the Crimson Wave Palace, Zhou Yu also devoted his attention to creating a new grand formation, which he handed over to everyone, including Daoist Yanhu.

The power of the peak Dao Lords is different. With each additional one, Zhou Yu would indeed have to create a new grand formation to maintain a new balance.

Simply adding Yanhu Daojun's power to the existing framework would not be enough to unleash its full potential.

Inside the flying boat, after receiving the array created by Zhou Yu, everyone studied it briefly and were secretly amazed.

It's incredible that a new formation could be created in such a short time, incorporating a new power.

"Qianyu Daojun, with your strength, even without relying on formations, there should be no one who can match you, right?" Yanhu Daojun couldn't help but ask.

“Creating formations is also a form of training for me,” Zhou Yu said. He then added, “Besides, relying on a formation is better than not relying on one. It’s always better to be prepared.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; that made sense.

At this moment, the Nine Dust Sect Leader and Ji Ning were also communicating telepathically.

“Bei Ming, your master and grandmaster both possess power surpassing that of a Dao Lord. You are the sole disciple of your lineage, how can you not know anything about it?” Jiu Chen asked.

"Have you heard of the 'Heart Sword Technique'?" Ji Ning asked.

"Of course I know." Jiu Chen nodded.

Before the appearance of "Youcang Daojun", many Daojuns may not have been interested in the "Heart Sword Technique", but with the appearance of "Youcang Daojun", similar methods have aroused the interest of Daojuns.

In the Flame Dragon Domain, there are similar methods, but most of them are incomplete. Only the Heart Sword Technique is truly complete, which is something that the Nine Dust Sect Master could not possibly be unaware of.

“When I was weak, I happened to have comprehended the ‘Heart Sword Technique’,” Ji Ning said with emotion. “Now, I can say that I have mastered the ninth form.”

"The Ninth Form?" The Nine Dust Sect Leader's eyes widened.

It is said that this move signifies that one has truly embarked on this path.

It should be understood that the vast majority of Daoist masters who study these kinds of methods cannot even get past the basics; the difficulty is beyond imagination.

"My master and grandmaster were both experts in this kind of method. The techniques they taught me have benefited me immensely," Ji Ning said with emotion.

"If you ever become successful in the future, don't forget me," the Nine Dust Sect Leader said with a smile.

"You're still better than me now."

Ji Ning glanced at the Nine Dust Sect Leader.

Even with his many methods, he was still only a second-step Dao Lord. Ji Ning understood that he had to truly reach the third step for him to truly transform.

His master and grandmaster were both three-step Dao Lords.

The airship continued its journey.

Although the journey was smooth, it still took a long time to finally arrive.

"We've arrived at the Crimson Wave Palace."

Zhou Yu looked up, and the people around him were also observing him.

The temple itself is extremely ancient, with black and gold colors interwoven throughout. The most attractive feature is the three characters on the main hall.

They didn't recognize any of the characters, but the moment they saw them, they understood their meaning. These three small characters contained profound mysteries of the Tao.

"It feels a bit inferior to the grand hall deep within Yu Xinghai," the Nine Dust Sect Master muttered.

"This Crimson Wave Palace was already thoroughly explored and even refined by Emperor Yi Bo and other powerful beings. The one deep within the Yu Xing Sea, however, is being discovered for the first time, so it's naturally different," said Daoist Yan Hu.
"Dao Lord Beiming, Dao Lord Jiuchen, I heard from Senior Lan Yan that it was actually the two of you who discovered that temple. I truly admire you."

"It was just a bit of luck," Ji Ning shook his head and didn't say anything more.

As they talked, they quickly stepped into the main hall.

The main hall was empty except for three enormous vortex passages.

Wow!
The light coalesced, and the spirit Pu Luo appeared here.

"You are the first to arrive. I can tell you that each of these three passages contains a Cave-Dwelling Jade Talisman. Whoever arrives first through this passage will gain the upper hand," the Realm Spirit Pu Luo reminded him.

"However, I must also remind you that these three passages are extremely dangerous. If you are not a peak Dao Lord, you could easily lose your life."

After saying that, the spirit Pu Luo disappeared.

At this point, after a brief discussion, the group decided to split up.

Zhou Yu took one passage by himself, while the others joined forces to take another, in order to maximize their benefits.

After all, Zhou Yu's strength alone was enough to clear a passage.

. . .

hum.

Zhou Yu flew into a passageway alone.

This was a spatial passage. After flying for a while, Zhou Yu flew out of it and arrived in a vast world.

In this world, there is a spatial corridor, with densely packed armored soldiers standing on both sides. At the end of the spatial corridor is an ancient throne with a golden sphere of light on it.

As for the area surrounding the spatial corridor, there are countless divine trees, totaling 108,000.

These fruit trees are the most important treasure of the Crimson Wave Palace, and some of the fruits they produce are so enviable that even a Sovereign would covet them. However, Zhou Yu also understands that to harvest these fruits, he must first obtain the token.

"Qianyu Daojun".

At this moment, a figure materialized, and the Realm Spirit Pu Luo reappeared. He smiled and said, "As long as you pass through this corridor and reach the next level of the world, you will have the opportunity to seize the Cave Nether Jade Talisman. With your strength, it is not difficult for you to pass through this corridor. However, I advise you to stay here a little longer. It has a great tempering effect on your Dao Lords. This corridor was specially created by the Sith Clan to temper peak Dao Lords."

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded.

He swiftly flew up onto the corridor.

hum!
At that moment, six beams of light flashed across the sky, and six golden-armored warriors suddenly appeared. The eyes of the six warriors flashed with golden light, and each of them charged forward with a weapon in hand.

Wow!
Two divine swords appeared in Zhou Yu's hand. His two swords were like a small formation, easily suppressing the six golden-armored warriors.

These armored warriors are quite strong and can coordinate perfectly with each other, posing a significant threat to even peak Dao Lords.

However, Zhou Yu was no ordinary Dao Lord. Even without using his mental power to enhance his abilities, his ultimate array path had broken through to the fourth step in many aspects, making him much stronger than a typical peak Dao Lord.

call!call!call!
Zhou Yu continued to advance, and at this time, more and more golden light fell from the sky, forming armored warriors.

As the number of armored soldiers increased, Zhou Yu gradually felt the pressure. He used his supernatural ability of having three heads and six arms to manifest more arms to deal with them.

"I feel the pressure."

Zhou Yu continued forward, and when he was surrounded by more than thirty golden-armored warriors, his expression changed.

He no longer held back and began blasting the golden-armored warriors out of the spatial corridor.

Only by blasting them away will the golden-armored warrior disappear.

As he fought his way forward, Zhou Yu didn't use his mental energy to enhance his abilities.

This continued for a whole year.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu felt pressured by the attack of more than thirty golden-armored warriors, but now that there are fifty golden-armored warriors attacking him, Zhou Yu is able to deal with them calmly.

It wasn't that Zhou Yu's strength had increased so much, but rather that his combat skills had become more refined through the fighting, and he had become more familiar with these golden-armored warriors, which produced such an effect.

"Daojun, you must indeed take risks and undergo trials."

Zhou Yu was filled with emotion. Unconsciously, the various directions of the array in his mind became more and more closely integrated.

boom!
Many directions that had already been explored finally converged at this moment.

"This is the true limit of the ultimate array at the Dao Lord level." At this moment, Zhou Yu felt an endless surge of insights.

Boom!

The Dao Tree within Zhou Yu's body was growing wildly, soaring from 96,000 zhang to 108,000 zhang.

This is the limit for Dao Lords. Most Dao Lords, after breaking through to the fourth step, need to accumulate Dao Trees for a long time before they can grow to 108,000 zhang, which is the edge of Dao Integration.

However, the ultimate path is too powerful. Once you break through it, you reach your limit. If Zhou Yu is willing, he can begin to merge with the Dao at this moment.

Of course, Zhou Yu would not choose to merge with the Dao at this time.

If the breakthrough is to the ultimate spacetime path, there might be a sliver of a chance of success, but the ultimate array path is almost certainly doomed to failure.

At this moment, it's not just the Dao Tree that cultivates Qi that's breaking through; the Divine Power Flow and Mental Power Flow are also breaking through.

Within Zhou Yu's inner world, he placed a massive amount of Chaos Crystals that he had prepared beforehand.

Driven by boundless power, the world of the heart began to expand rapidly.

The most terrifying thing about the ultimate Dao Lord is that once he breaks through, his inner world also reaches the same level limit.

It should be noted that the Heart Power Flow Emperor is extremely rare, practically a legend.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's inner world was even more vast and terrifying than that of some mental power-flowing emperors, so one can imagine how great the boost to his strength would be.

"My inner world is expanding at full speed right now, and it can probably cover the area from the Great Mo Domain to the Heavenly Azure Domain," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Although the area from the Great Mo Domain to the Heavenly Azure Domain is only a corner of the endless territory.

However, it actually includes hundreds of territories, and the gaps between different territories are far greater than those between a single territory.

Such a vast area could be instantly encompassed by Zhou Yu's inner world, which shows how terrifying it was.

"I'm completely different now," Zhou Yu thought, feeling himself.

Although he was strong before, his realm was ultimately insufficient, making him weaker than the lords of the Holy City.

At this moment, however, his realm had already reached the pinnacle of the Holy City Lord, only slightly inferior to the Sovereign.

Such a level of attainment has also given rise to many incredible abilities.

For example, the immortal body of array formations is something that ordinary array formation practitioners wouldn't even dare to dream of, but Zhou Yu has now truly mastered it.

For example, when Zhou Yu was a third-step Dao Lord, his physical body was tempered to the point where it was comparable to an eternal top-grade divine weapon. However, no one could force him to use this protective technique.

At this point, having reached the fourth step, this body tempering ability can be further improved.

"Give me time, and I can make my divine body comparable to some powerful natal divine weapons." Zhou Yu understood.

Ordinary eternal supreme divine weapons can be destroyed by the power of the Dominator level, but natal divine weapons, especially those that have been strengthened by absorbing some special materials, are different. They are much harder than ordinary eternal supreme divine weapons.

Furthermore, after a little thought, Zhou Yu was confident that he could create many auxiliary formations.

To aid in spiritual practice and for self-preservation.
“Perspective is the most important thing.” Zhou Yu thought with deep emotion.

The feeling of leaping forward in one's realm is truly intoxicating.
