Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 249 The final fight
Deep within the Yu Xinghai Sea, beyond the ruins of the Sith.

Zhou Yu's Cang clone sat cross-legged there, his power penetrating the great array surrounding the palace in front of him, quietly sensing everything.

Although the clone of You Cang constructed its divine body using the ultimate spacetime method, the clone of You Cang naturally mastered the fourth step of the ultimate array method after the main body mastered it.

When he looked at the Sith's grand formation again, his feelings were completely different.

Having read the many methods left by the Supreme Qi regarding the Sith's array formations, Zhou Yu already had a way to break the formation in mind. However, due to his insufficient cultivation level, he was unable to decipher the energy flow of this great formation.

Based on his previous understanding, this great formation had countless threads, and the difficulty of removing them one by one was unimaginable.

But now things are different; the grand formation quickly became clear in Zhou Yu's eyes.

The countless veins disappeared rapidly, leaving less than a hundred in the blink of an eye. Those that were eliminated were all minor details, while the remaining ones were the core that maintained the entire formation. Damage to any of the cores would affect the formation.

"If all the Eternal Emperors and Sovereigns present join forces with me to break this formation, it can be broken in the blink of an eye," Zhou Yu thought confidently.

However, he did not rush to make it public.

His breakthrough gave him an extremely clear understanding of the Dao at the fourth step of the ultimate Dao, which was much clearer than simply observing the Dao of another ultimate Dao Lord.

“It is also possible to break through the Space-Time Path.” Zhou Yu understood that if he could break through the Space-Time Path again, his strength would truly reach an extremely high level.

Breaking the formation later would be most advantageous for him.

. . .

the other side--

After breaking through, Zhou Yu no longer wasted time on the first floor of the Crimson Wave Palace.

This spatial corridor is useful to him at the third stage, but once he reaches the fourth stage, it will become completely useless.

Zhou Yu swiftly broke through the corridor and arrived at the second level of the Crimson Wave Realm. He easily defeated the guarding puppet and obtained the Cave-Dwelling Jade Talisman for this corridor, and then went to the third level.

The third layer of the world is smaller than the first layer.

The whole world was desolate and barren, with a bottomless abyss ahead, connected to the land on the other side by chains of many colors.

"This Crimson Wave Palace probably has a fourth layer of space, right?" Zhou Yu quickly concluded that the fourth layer of space was the core of the Crimson Wave Palace, and that refining the core would allow him to control the Crimson Wave Palace.

"However, the grand formation within the Crimson Wave Palace is extremely ingenious; even I have only been able to discern a few clues at this moment," Zhou Yu pondered.

If an ordinary ruler were to enter, he would probably have to rely on brute force to break through the formation and reach the fourth level of space.

However, the Crimson Wave Palace Formation was a treasure meticulously crafted by the Sith, and breaking it by brute force would definitely not be something that could be done in a short time.

In that time, Emperor Yi Bo probably had a backup plan, and the Crimson Wave Palace would have already escaped.

However, Zhou Yu, having infiltrated as a Dao Lord, had ample time to study and ponder. Even Emperor Yi Bo, who was skilled in deduction, probably did not expect that a Dao Lord of the Ultimate Dao of Arrays would come here.

Of course, Zhou Yu was just curious and thought about it a little. He wasn't interested in the Crimson Wave Palace itself. Besides, it was left to his hometown by Emperor Yi Bo. It would be too much to try to seize it.

"Let's get the fruit token first." Zhou Yu quickly set off to retrieve the token.

The third layer of the world also has three abysses, but each Dao Lord can only go to one of them.

Zhou Yu chose the path with the first, second, and ninth command tokens.

From the first to the ninth command token, each corresponds to a type of fruit, with their value decreasing from high to low. Generally speaking, the fruits from the three abysses are of roughly the same value.

However, for top-tier treasures like these, the stronger the effect, the higher the value.

The fruit corresponding to the ninth command talisman is the most precious, so Zhou Yu naturally had to personally retrieve the fruit of the ninth command talisman to ensure that nothing went wrong.

To retrieve the three tokens, one needs to learn the Sith's methods of "Life" and "Dao Heart," respectively. This was no challenge for Zhou Yu, who learned them with ease.

As for the final hurdle, breaking through numerous restrictions was a piece of cake for Zhou Yu.

With his mental strength, he pierced through the layers of restrictions with a single sword strike and obtained the Fruit Token.

"What's going on with this Qianyu Daojun? His sword strike has affected the stability of the great formation inside the Crimson Wave Palace. It's definitely the power of a ruler." Realm Spirit Pu Luo watched from the fourth layer of the Crimson Wave Realm, and he was secretly shocked.

The grand formation inside the Crimson Wave Palace is actually connected to the grand formation of the Easy Wave Realm.

The Yi Bo Realm Grand Array can only be shaken by the power of a Holy City Lord, and only a Sovereign can completely ignore its suppression. The Chi Bo Palace Grand Array is even stronger, requiring the power of a Sovereign to shake it.

Zhou Yu's sword strike had indeed shaken the Crimson Wave Palace's grand formation, demonstrating absolute dominance.

This is perfectly normal. Although his "Heart of the Array Dao" has not yet created the fifth form of the Dao Heart Perfection, it can still increase Zhou Yu's strength tenfold. With the power of the fourth step of the ultimate array dao, increasing strength tenfold again will naturally make him a ruler-level being.

"I'm afraid even the master didn't expect such a terrifying Dao Lord to come and participate in the competition, right?" Realm Spirit Pu Luo was amazed.

"However, although he is very strong, fortunately he doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking the rules." Realm Spirit Pu Luo watched Zhou Yu's actions.

If Zhou Yu wanted, the Crimson Wave Palace formation wouldn't be able to stop him from taking the other six tokens; he could even forcibly seize the fruits.

Of course, although Zhou Yu did not forcibly take the other six tokens, he did set up heavy arrays in the other two abyss worlds to cover their entrances.

In this way, only Dao Lords permitted by Zhou Yu can enter those two passages, and the treasures will naturally be within their grasp.

Zhou Yu didn't know what methods Emperor Yi Bo had used, and naturally he didn't want to break the rules.

The clock is ticking.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu lived a peaceful life in the third layer of the world. After setting up many large formations, he began to comprehend and wait.

At this moment, Ji Ning and the others who took another passage finally arrived at the third layer of the world. Having been tempered by the first layer of the Crimson Wave Palace and fought to the death, Ji Ning had finally reached the third step.

However, they did not obtain the Cave-Dwelling Jade Talisman for their passage.

Although Ji Ning's strength was extremely exaggerated after his breakthrough, he encountered an alliance of several peak Dao Lords, including the Wine Saint, the Master of the Dream Sect, and the Ugly King.

The reason why the Wine Saint was willing to form an alliance with other peak Dao Lords, given his strength, was because he felt pressure from Zhou Yu.

Although no one knows how the King of Light was killed, the Wine Saint understands that while he could easily defeat the King of Light with his cosmic treasures, it would be difficult for him to kill him.

But King of Light was killed by Zhou Yu!
In addition, Zhou Yu's previous display of terrifying strength against Demon Lord Chenyu naturally put pressure on the Wine Saint.

Feeling the pressure, the Wine Saint simply joined forces with several other peak Dao Lords.

Their lineup was originally designed to counter teams centered around Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu wasn't on that team.

Although Ji Ning has broken through, he can only stop the Wine Saint.

Midway through, Daoist Yanhu was rather unlucky and was even ambushed by Sect Leader Suimeng. Although Daoist Yanhu managed to hold on, his strength was greatly reduced, and in the end, he naturally could not defeat the Wine Saint and the others.

"Daoist Qianyu, you really should have helped us," Jiuchen said regretfully. "A Dongming Jade Talisman, just gone like that."

"We agreed before entering the Yi Bo Realm that the treasures we receive would be distributed according to our contributions," Zhou Yu said with a faint smile, taking out a Dongming Jade Talisman.

He currently possesses two Dongming Jade Talismans, one obtained from killing the Sparrow King and the other acquired from the second layer of the world.

"This is yours," Zhou Yu said.

"Give me this Dongming Jade Talisman?" The Nine Dust Sect Leader couldn't believe it.

Yan Hu Daojun and Chen Yu Mojun, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed. If it weren't for their life oaths, they would have already made their move.

What they found even more unbelievable was that a Dao Lord would actually take the initiative to give away the Dongming Jade Talisman.

Once the Nine Dust Sect Master confirmed that Zhou Yu was not joking, he instantly reached out and, with incredible speed, took the Cave Nether Jade Talisman and put it away.

However, after putting away the Dongming Jade Talisman, the Nine Dust Sect Master also felt a sense of shame.

"Given our contributions since entering the Yi Bo Realm, I feel unworthy to receive this Dongming Jade Talisman," said the Nine Dust Sect Master.

He knew very well that with Zhou Yu's exaggerated strength, he didn't actually need his help at all. Moreover, he was only contributing his strength to the formation of the great array, and his contribution wasn't that great.

It's far less than a single Dongming Jade Talisman.

"Jiuchen, you were moving so fast just now? I almost didn't see it clearly," Ji Ning said with a smile.

"This is the Dongming Jade Talisman, how can I resist?" The Nine Dust Sect Master shook his head helplessly.

“Jiuchen, if you feel ashamed, give me the Fruit Token if you obtain it in the future,” Zhou Yu said.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Dust Sect Leader nodded.

In fact, the Nine Dust Sect Leader understood that with his strength, he might not be able to obtain the token.

Not to mention Ji Ning, who became ridiculously strong after his breakthrough, Chen Yu Demon Lord and Yan Hu Dao Lord were both peak Dao Lords, and they both submitted to him unconditionally.

If Zhou Yu really wanted to monopolize the token, he could have simply let them retrieve it.

"Alright, you four go and get the other two passages," Zhou Yu said directly. Hearing this, the four nodded and, without hesitation, split into two groups and went to the other two passages.

Ji Ning went to the "358" passage alone, while the Nine Dust Sect Master, Yan Hu Daojun, and Chen Yu Mojun went to the "467" passage.

This was also Zhou Yu's arrangement, allowing Ji Ning to have a passage all to himself, naturally by giving him the token for that passage.

As for the other side, with the combined efforts of three peak Dao Lords, they should be able to take the token relatively quickly.

Time flies, and more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the third layer of the world, five more figures suddenly appeared, namely the five peak Dao Lords led by the Wine Saint.

Although they initially used the same passage as Ji Ning, after seizing the Dongming Jade Talisman from that passage, they went to another passage to participate in the robbery.

However, that passage also has an alliance of many peak Dao Lords.

Some formidable figures have even emerged, such as "Xiaomeng Daojun," whose close combat skills have given even the Wine Saint a headache, making the competition less than smooth.

So, after a brief discussion, the five decided to visit the third layer of the world first.

"Is that Daoist Qianyu? He's all alone there?" The group was surprised when they saw Zhou Yu.

They went to the third layer of the world just to try their luck, but they didn't expect to encounter a big fish right away.

"Based on our deductions, Daoist Qianyu should have two Dongming Jade Talismans on him. Should we make a move?" After discussing it, the five of them quickly came to a decision.

Of course we have to take action!
Those are two Dongming Jade Talismans; for the sake of achieving Dao, they have nothing to fear.

"However, Daoist Qianyu dares to be there alone, he must have something to rely on. He is skilled in array formations, and there must be a large array already set up around him."

"Be careful."

The five people spoke to each other telepathically as they rapidly approached.

The Lord of the Dream Sect unleashed his World of the Heart, sweeping around Zhou Yu, trying to force out the great formation before Zhou Yu could also unleash his World of the Heart.

At this moment, Zhou Yu also opened his eyes.

"So it was the five of you." Zhou Yu's expression remained calm, but a thought flashed through his mind.

Boom!

Suddenly, an incomparably majestic giant appeared, and the world of the heart supported by the giant solidified and descended.

Just like before, the world of the Dream Master's heart shattered instantly.

The difference was that the moment that terrifying pressure descended upon the leader of the Sui Meng Cult, his expression froze.

laugh!
The leader of the Sui Meng Cult was instantly annihilated into dust.

Although the other four peak Dao Lords managed to hold on, one of them was forced to unleash his immortality, and the rest all developed cracks on their bodies.

Even peak Dao Lords who are not skilled in immortality can temper their divine bodies to a level comparable to a top-grade eternal divine weapon if they have accumulated a little more experience. But at this moment, the pressure alone has caused cracks to appear in their divine bodies, which shows how terrifying the pressure is.

"Dream of the Year!!"

Ugly King felt that the aura of the Master of Dreams had completely disappeared, and he roared in anger.

At the same time, he braved the pressure and charged towards Zhou Yu recklessly.

But at that moment, a surge of mental energy erupted.

laugh!laugh!
The Ugly King fell silent instantly. The remaining three peak Dao Lords managed to withstand the attack, but their faces turned pale.

"How...how can he be so strong?"

"This world of the heart is simply defying the heavens."

The three wine masters were all pale-faced, and when Zhou Yu looked over, their hearts trembled even more.

The Wine Saint possesses a cosmic treasure, and his attack power is at least at the threshold of the Holy City Lord. Although his movement techniques, moves, and other skills are far inferior, he can still exchange some blows with some newly advanced Holy City Lords.

Even the pressure exerted on the Wine Saint by some ancient holy city lords was far less than that on Zhou Yu at this moment.

At this moment, with the suppression of the Pure Heart World, the Wine Saint's strength was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original power.

"The three of you, hand over the treasures and swear an oath to obey my commands within this Yi Bo Realm," Zhou Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, both Daoist Tiancan and Daoist Xuehuan behind the Wine Saint immediately handed over their treasures.

The Wine Saint hesitated, for among his treasures was a Dongming Jade Talisman.

However, after only a slight hesitation, the Wine Saint quickly handed over the treasure. If he died, there would be no use in keeping the Cave Sea Jade Talisman. The three of them then made a life oath, thus completely obeying Zhou Yu.

"Wine Saint, go to the passage through Nine Dust and quickly obtain the token with them," Zhou Yu said as he returned the Wine Saint's cosmic treasure.

"Alright." The Wine Saint nodded silently. He even felt somewhat gratified that the treasure of the universe could be recovered.

"Dao Lord Tiancan, Dao Lord Xuehuan, you two go and take charge of the great formation I have set up to resist the other Dao Lords." Zhou Yu then handed two jade tubes to the other two people.

The power of the formation he set up would naturally be amplified if someone were in charge of it.

"Qianyu Daojun, what about our natal divine weapon?" Tiancan Daojun couldn't help but ask.

"If you perform well, we might be able to return your natal divine weapons to you later." Zhou Yu didn't say much, and Tiancan Daojun didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Time continues to pass.

Soon, the battle among the Dao Lords on the second level for the last Dongming Jade Talisman came to a conclusion.

They all charged up to the third floor.

After reaching the third level, many Dao Lords naturally noticed Zhou Yu, who was alone there, but this time no one dared to make a move.

They all knew that the Wine Saint and his group had arrived before them. If they truly had the chance, wouldn't they have made their move? Something was definitely amiss!
"Where are Tiancan Daojun, Suimeng Sect Leader, and Ugly King?" Soon, someone came to one of the passages and asked Tiancan Daojun, who was sitting cross-legged there.

Tiancan Daojun remained expressionless and did not utter a single word.

"He was killed by Daoist Qianyu." Daoist Xuehuan answered the crowd from the other side, adding:

"I'm warning you, don't provoke Daoist Qianyu."

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally realized that something was wrong; Qianyu Daojun's strength was probably truly terrifying.

"Since we can't compete for the Cave Sea Jade Talisman, we can only compete for the fruit." Many peak Dao Lords were unwilling to leave empty-handed.

Instead, they all prepared to enter the two channels to compete for the spoils.

Unfortunately, as soon as they got close, they were blocked by the great formation controlled by Daoist Tiancan and Daoist Xuehuan.

"You want to take it all for yourselves?" The Dao Lords were naturally furious and began to join forces to charge.

Initially, seven or eight peak Dao Lords joined forces to break through the formation but failed. Later, more than ten peak Dao Lords joined forces to attack a large formation, but they also failed.

"Is this Qianyu Daojun really a Daojun? How can the great formation he set up be so powerful?" At this moment, the most shocked were Tiancan Daojun and Xuehuan Daojun.

They knew very well that although the combined power of these dozen or so peak Dao Lords was terrifying, and they could probably even fight against some Holy City Lords who had not yet accumulated much power, they were still far from being able to force out the maximum power of this great formation.

This is at least comparable to some of the major formations at the core of the eight holy cities.

Daoist Lord, how exactly did you set up such a powerful formation?
Time continued to pass.

Many Dao Lords tried various methods, even using some of their trump cards, but none of them could break the two great formations.

What's most impressive about these two great formations isn't their power, but their ability to repair themselves at an extremely fast pace even when damaged, and their overall perfection.

Unless one uses overwhelming force to break through the formation, it is extremely difficult to conquer it.

As time went on, tokens were quickly obtained from both channels.

The Wine Saint, the Nine Dust Sect Master, and others left the passage first, handing over their tokens to Zhou Yu.

Ji Ning then left his passage.

At this point, the five Dongming Jade Talismans and nine Fruit Talismans had all been contested.

"Let's go, it's time to get the fruit." Zhou Yu stood up with a smile.

After working so hard for so long, the moment of harvest has finally arrived.

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