Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 251 The Mysterious Realm Locking Formation: A Ruler Hard to Kill

Inside the Red Wave Palace.

Stab it!

Space was torn apart, and the ruler draped in a black cloak suddenly reappeared in the third layer of the Crimson Wave Palace, the same layer where the Crimson Wave Palace Fruit Talisman had been located.

With his Dominator-level perception, this figure instantly surveyed the entire space.

"Damn it, he's not here either?" The ruler thought angrily.

Unless that Dao Lord possesses some terrifying ability to escape, even to the point of being able to evade his detection, there is no way he could not find him.

Then there is only one possibility: the Crimson Wave Palace Formation has been tampered with.

"What a busybody." The ruler was naturally annoyed. He wasn't trying to seize the Crimson Wave Palace; he was merely attacking a Dao Lord.

However, the ruler didn't think much about it at the moment, and he quickly tore through space to leave.

He was unwilling to reveal his identity, and if he stayed any longer, he would really be cornered.

However, to his surprise, after tearing through space this time, he did not appear in the second layer of space, but instead came to a completely empty and dark space without any matter.

It's somewhat similar to the endless darkness beyond the realm.

Moreover, this place is far more terrifying than endless darkness, with extremely strong suppressive power, preventing his consciousness from spreading very far.

"An array?" The ruler realized the problem and frowned slightly.

Isn't the spirit of the Crimson Wave Palace being a bit too proactive? It's one thing to actively help a Dao Lord, but to activate the formation in an attempt to trap him?
Logically speaking, this would be almost impossible without Emperor Yibo's permission.

"Could it be that Emperor Yi Bo has returned?" The ruler's heart sank slightly.

He wasn't afraid of Emperor Yi Bo. Although the other party was very famous and had made friends with many rulers, it was impossible for him to deal with him easily.

After all, Emperor Yibo's own strength was only comparable to that of the Lord of the Holy City.

If Emperor Yibo really wanted to deal with a ruler, he would have to pay a huge price to hire a bunch of helpers, or spend a long time scheming and plotting.

The key point is that he wasn't targeting the Crimson Wave Palace, so Emperor Yibo had no reason to go to such lengths to deal with him.

"Break the formation first."

Without much thought, the ruler thrust out his silver dagger.

An endless burst of power erupted.

Rumble!
The entire dark and void space began to tremble, and even cracks appeared.

A ruler wielding a cosmic treasure is clearly a terrifying force.
At this moment, in the fourth level of the Crimson Wave Palace, a man in blue appeared beside Zhou Yu.

He was the wisp of consciousness left behind by Emperor Yi Bo. As long as he didn't use too much power, this wisp of consciousness could exist for a long time.

"This ruler seems unwilling to reveal his identity and hasn't gone all out yet. However, he should have used about 80% of his strength. My Xuanjie Locking Void Formation can't hold him for long." Emperor Yi Bo could see everything inside the formation at this time, and he said.

Trying to use a large formation without human control to deal with the Overlord is too difficult, simply impossible.

Therefore, the great formation left behind by Emperor Yibo was used to buy time. As long as it could buy a little time, the Crimson Wave Palace could naturally move away quickly.

"What a magnificent mystical array that locks the void! It is indeed incredibly profound." Zhou Yu sat cross-legged on the stone platform, rapidly comprehending the array's many mysteries.

The main reason is that this grand formation is derived from the main formation of the Crimson Wave Palace. Zhou Yu had comprehended many mysteries of the main formation of the Crimson Wave Palace over the past thousand years, which is why he was able to quickly master this grand formation.

Otherwise, no matter how high Zhou Yu's comprehension was, he could not have mastered an unfamiliar formation so quickly.

"Emperor Yi Bo, please hand over control of this great formation to me," Zhou Yu said directly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yi Bo naturally did not refuse.

He was also curious and wanted to see what methods this Qianyu Daojun used to deal with a ruler.

Zhou Yu soon felt that a portion of the restrictions on the stone platform had been completely opened to him.

After taking control of this part of the restriction, the entire "Mysterious Realm Locking Void Array" came under Zhou Yu's control.

Zhou Yu merely manipulated the formation, instantly stabilizing it. The formation, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse under the Sovereign's frenzied attacks, suddenly gained the ability to withstand them.

While it may not be able to trap the ruler forever, it can at least hold him off for a while.

"Impressive. It seems that Daoist Qianyu has indeed grasped many of the mysteries of my great formation." Emperor Yibo's eyes lit up.

This great formation took him hundreds of millions of years to create. To master this great formation, and to master it so quickly, means that Daoist Qianyu's mastery of formations is at least no less than his, and perhaps even greater.

It should be noted that although his forte is divination, he has also cultivated array formations to the level of a Holy City Lord.

"Qianyu Daojun must be the legendary ultimate Daojun," Emperor Yibo guessed.

Unlike the Mangya Overlord and others, he had a much broader perspective and had naturally heard of the Ultimate Path. He also knew that if a Dao Lord who walked the Ultimate Path reached the fourth step, he would be incredibly terrifying.

"That's not enough." With a thought, Zhou Yu caused dense mist to appear at each of the array's foundations.

hum!
Without a sound, the power of the formation surged dramatically.

boom!
At this moment, the Dominator, who was frantically breaking through the formation, changed his expression.

He felt his consciousness being compressed again, instantly shrinking to about a hundred miles around him. This distance was practically negligible.

What's even more terrifying is that the originally negligible suppressive force of this formation has suddenly surged, making him feel immense pressure, and his strength has probably decreased by several tens of percent.

"Emperor Yi Bo, I have no grudge against you, how dare you treat me like this?" The ruler roared, no longer daring to pretend.

Boom!

With a thought, the ruler unleashed a five-colored flame domain centered on him.

boom! boom! boom!
The flame domain expanded wildly to resist the pressure, but it was still at a disadvantage and was repeatedly crushed.

"If my domain is fully developed, why should I fear the suppression of this formation?" The ruler was unwilling.

Unfortunately, mastering a Dominator-level domain technique is extremely difficult; only a select few Dominators can achieve it.

Of course, what terrified him even more was that the formation had suddenly become so powerful that he was truly trapped.

"Could it be that Emperor Yi Bo has made another breakthrough, and his array formation has also been upgraded to the Dominator level?" The Dominator was somewhat flustered.

Emperor Yi Bo's divination was already terrifyingly powerful. If he truly was the master of array formations, then his ability to assassinate people would soar to an unbelievable level.

Within the fourth layer of the Red Wave Realm.

Even Emperor Yibo had a hint of amazement on his face at this moment.

The method of imbuing weapons with mental energy is relatively common, but imbuing formations with mental energy? This is the first time Emperor Yi Bo has ever seen it.

What's even more impressive is that the power of this formation has increased so much that Emperor Yi Bo realized that although Zhou Yu's method of enhancing the formation with his mental energy has not yet been fully mastered, it is probably only one final step away.

"Haha, Daoist Qianyu, it seems that the Fire Demon Sovereign is going to suffer a great loss here," Emperor Yibo said with a smile.

"The Fire Demon Sovereign?" Zhou Yu inquired. "He is a sovereign from the Qilan Domain, which is not far from our Flame Dragon Domain. I recognized him as soon as he unleashed his domain," Emperor Yi Bo explained.

Although the distance between realms is extremely exaggerated, for an Eternal Emperor like Emperor Yi Bo who has traveled to many places, the Qi Lan Realm is indeed not far.

"It's not surprising that he would try to steal your treasures," Emperor Yi Bo added.

"However, he doesn't know that your methods are maintained by mental energy. You can make him compensate with more treasures."

"Compensation in the form of treasure?" Zhou Yu inquired.

"What if I wanted to kill him? Could this Fire Demon Lord have some powerful background?"

"Kill him? That's too difficult, very difficult to do." Emperor Yi Bo shook his head and said, "Daoist Qian Yu, you can give it a try."

Inside the Xuanjie Kongkong Formation.

After trying many methods without success, the Fire Demon Lord simply sat down cross-legged and waited.

The Fire Demon Lord knew very well that Emperor Yi Bo would come to negotiate with him.

And at this time——

Suddenly a figure appeared not far ahead.

"It's you?"

The Fire Demon Lord looked at Zhou Yu, his gaze turning slightly cold.

If it weren't for the fact that Daoist Qianyu was too cunning and escaped into the Crimson Wave Palace in an instant, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

"What does Yi Bo mean by sending you here? Are you making fun of me?" the Fire Demon Lord asked coldly.

"I'm here to kill you," Zhou Yu sneered.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon Lord was stunned and didn't quite react.

Without wasting words, Zhou Yu unleashed his three heads and six arms, wielding six divine swords, and charged forward in a flash.

"Hmm? You actually dare to come?" The silver short blade in the Fire Demon Lord's hand had already returned to its original form—a long black shuttle.

At this moment, the Fire Demon Lord thrust out a burst of energy.

Although his strength was partially suppressed by the great formation, his power was still at the Dominator level when he used the cosmic treasure.

With a single strike, an incredibly terrifying vortex of flames surged forth.

"What a foolish fellow." The Fire Demon Lord sneered as he watched Zhou Yu's attack, which slammed into Zhou Yu's chest.

However, to the Fire Demon Lord's surprise, Zhou Yu, who withstood his attack, only swayed slightly.

"How is this possible?" The Fire Demon Lord was dumbfounded.

His attack at this moment would shatter even an eternal top-grade divine weapon. Moreover, even if his divine body could withstand it, the power should have sent this Qianyu Daojun flying. Yet, the other party actually withstood it.

But the Fire Demon Lord obviously didn't have time to think too much, as the six divine swords had already unleashed their power.

It was as if a massive formation had crashed down from the front, its power far exceeding that of the Fire Demon Lord's attack.

The Fire Demon Lord was caught off guard and couldn't stop it at all.

boom! boom! boom!
The six divine swords struck his divine body squarely.

"Good guy"

Feeling the terrifying power, the Fire Demon Lord dared not resist it head-on and instantly turned into a ball of flame.

Whoosh!
The flames dissipated and then coalesced again, finally reforming the divine body of the Fire Demon Lord.

"Immortal Body in Flames"

Zhou Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

However, he did not give up and immediately charged forward again.

Having learned from his previous experience, the Fire Demon Lord was naturally much more cautious this time. He also took out his natal divine weapon and used it in conjunction with the cosmic treasure to fight against Zhou Yu.

boom! boom! boom!
The two weapons clashed wildly. Zhou Yu's swordsmanship, formed from the mysteries of array formation, was incredibly tight. When attacking, it was like Mount Tai pressing down, and when defending, it was as if they were one entity, airtight.

The Fire Demon Lord's moves were even more mysterious. Although his power was weaker at this moment, he was not afraid of Zhou Yu in a head-on confrontation.

However, the Fire Demon Lord was extremely shocked.

He had assumed this was yet another "You Cang Dao Jun".

Unexpectedly, the profoundness of Qianyu Daojun's moves was second only to his own.

He is stronger than many holy city lords who have not accumulated enough power; perhaps only some ancient and eternal emperors with extremely rich accumulations can compare with him.

"How is this possible? This is a Dao Lord?" The Fire Demon Sovereign was filled with disbelief.

After countless battles with the Fire Demon Overlord, Zhou Yu realized that he couldn't defeat him in a direct confrontation. So, Zhou Yu began to utilize the grand formation and his own advantages.

This grand formation suppressed the Fire Demon Sovereign's consciousness, allowing him to only probe within a hundred-mile radius.

Zhou Yu's ultimate array technique also includes a method to integrate into the grand array, which he used to launch a sneak attack on the Fire Demon Overlord.

Even if the Fire Demon Lord could occasionally react, Zhou Yu was too lazy to intercept his attacks.

After breaking through to the fourth step, Zhou Yu's divine body was quickly tempered to the point where it was comparable to some natal divine weapons infused with special treasures. With the addition of mental strength, its power was also considerable.

It can naturally withstand the attacks of the Fire Demon Overlord.

Instead of directly confronting the Fire Demon Lord, Zhou Yu quickly gained a huge advantage, forcing the Fire Demon Lord to repeatedly unleash his immortal form.

However, Zhou Yu gradually realized that the Fire Demon Overlord's immortal body was probably at the Overlord level.

It should be noted that many rulers, even if they possess immortality, may only have immortality at the level of a Holy City Lord.

For a Sovereign to master a second Sovereign-level Dao is extremely difficult, requiring far more time and effort than it would take for a Holy City Lord to master a second Holy City Lord-level Dao.

Therefore, the lords of holy cities who have accumulated considerable wealth almost all possess immortality techniques of the same level, but among the rulers, only a portion possess ruler-level immortality.

For example, some masters of swordsmanship and saber techniques are very likely not to have a master-level immortal body.

But after repeated attempts, Zhou Yu now understood that the Fire Demon Overlord's immortal body was definitely at the Overlord level.

Although he was able to force the Fire Demon Lord out of his immortal state time and time again, he never actually injured him, let alone killed him.

"Killing this Fire Demon Lord is really quite difficult." Zhou Yu fell into deep thought. Having finally managed to trap it, he was naturally unwilling to give up easily.

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