Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 256 Fierce Struggle, Another Kill of the Overlord
On the stars inside the Tiger Academy warship.

A white-clad youth carrying a sword and a cold-faced young man in blue robes walked on the ground; these were naturally Ji Ning and the leader of the Nine Dust Sect.

Since arriving on this star, the two have kept a low profile, disguising themselves as two World Realm Perfection cultivators as they traveled from place to place.

“This star actually gave birth to a peak Dao Lord.” Ji Ning’s expression was somewhat solemn at this moment. He and the Nine Dust Sect Master had previously discovered a legacy. After a brief investigation, they found that it was left by a being at the peak Dao Lord level. Moreover, according to the legacy information left by that peak Dao Lord, he clearly harbored great hostility towards the three major families.

This is very scary.

It should be noted that the three major families had ruled this star for a long time without ever being shaken, and even the peak Dao Lords could not do anything about it, which shows how terrifying the foundation of the three major families was.

Now, the three major families have been wiped out by the "Qianyu Emperor" alone, which shows that the "Qianyu Emperor" is no ordinary emperor.

"It's truly unimaginable that such a powerful Eternal Emperor was born on this star. I really don't know how he cultivated himself," the Nine Dust Sect Master exclaimed.

"No matter what, we need to be careful," Ji Ning said.
"Moreover, although this star may be related to the Sith race, even if there really was an opportunity, it would probably have been discovered by the three major families or Emperor Qianyu long ago."

“This was originally an accidental discovery. If all else fails, we can go to Yu Xinghai as planned.” Sect Leader Jiu Chen said, and Ji Ning nodded in agreement.

But at that moment, their expressions suddenly changed.

The space around them suddenly solidified, and then a figure appeared there in a flash.

"Is it Emperor Qianyu?" Ji Ning and the other person were both a little confused. They had been careful all along, so how were they discovered?
"Bei Ming, what should we do? Should we run away or not?" Jiu Chen asked.

With their abilities, they shouldn't be without any hope of escape. After all, Emperor Qianyu is probably not as knowledgeable or experienced as the powerful Eternal Emperors outside.

"This Emperor Qianyu has no grudge against us, let's talk first," Ji Ning said telepathically, bowing slightly in return.

"I am Bei Ming, and I greet Senior Qian Yu."

"You two are from outside, right?" Zhou Yu asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader knew they couldn't hide it from each other, but there was no need to conceal it, so they nodded.

“Very good, come with me, let’s talk slowly.” Zhou Yu said with a smile.

After a brief discussion with the Nine Dust Sect Leader, Ji Ning agreed.

Just from the moment he froze space with his bare hand, the two knew they were right. This Emperor Qianyu's realm was much higher than theirs, and he was definitely an extremely powerful Eternal Emperor.

If they were going to make a move, they already did. If they haven't yet, then there is indeed room for negotiation.

Zhou Yu naturally wouldn't lay a hand on the two of them. He took them back to the Zhou clan's territory and served them the best tea and food.

"Only after achieving eternal Dao do I realize how incredibly small this place is. It's a pity I was trapped here before and can never leave," Zhou Yu said with a sigh.

Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader nodded in agreement.

This "golem stone wall" was indeed a prison before. The black stone of the sinking fire was too hard, even the Blue Hao Ruler could not do anything about it, so it can be seen that this "Qianyu Emperor" could not get out either.

According to the intelligence they obtained, this Qianyu Emperor has only been at the Dao Integration stage for a little over 200,000 Chaos Eras, which is not too long.

If he were trapped here for a million or even ten million Chaos Eras, it would indeed be an unbearable ordeal!
“So, I need you to take me out,” Zhou Yu said.

"It's nothing, just a small favor for us," Ji Ning said with a smile.

"It's just guiding the way," the Nine Dust Sect Leader nodded.

If Emperor Qianyu had used force from the beginning, they might not have been willing to lead the way so easily. But since the other party was so polite, they naturally didn't mind helping him out. After all, this was an extremely powerful Eternal Emperor, and it was always good to make some good connections.

“I won’t let you help me for nothing,” Zhou Yu said. “On this star, there is a special place, a special grotto-heaven left behind by a supreme being. I can take you there. As for whether you will gain anything, that’s up to you.”

"Supreme?"

Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader were both bewildered; they had never actually heard of a Supreme Being before.

“As far as I know, that is a being that surpasses even the Eternal Emperor. You’ll know once you’ve seen the place he left behind.” Zhou Yu didn’t say more.

"Beyond the Eternal Emperor?"

Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader were both taken aback, realizing that they had encountered an incredible opportunity.

An existence surpassing the Eternal Emperor? Even the rulers or even more powerful lords of other universes are essentially still just Eternal Emperors.

"I never expected that we would actually come into contact with such an existence. We've really struck gold this time," the Nine Dust Sect Master secretly transmitted his thoughts.

"Don't be too happy yet. Didn't you hear what Emperor Qianyu said? Whether we reap any rewards depends on our own abilities," Ji Ning reminded him.

"The opportunities left behind by such beings are probably not easy to obtain."

"It's not easy to have this opportunity." The Nine Dust Sect Master didn't think much of it.

Soon, Zhou Yu led the two to the location of the Sith Clan's ancestral land, the Beast Cave.

Although the two were only Dao Lords, they opened the passage to the outside world, which was a great help to the strange beast cave. Therefore, the spirit of the cave was willing to give them a chance and arranged a test for them. As long as they could pass, they would also be qualified to watch the Dao of the Supreme Bolin.

Ji Ning passed that test with great speed, relying on the powerful Heart Sword Technique of the Ultimate Sword Dao.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yu's main body was watching the Dao of Supreme Bolin, and Ji Ning would have to wait a while before he could watch it.

Of course, this period of time will not be too long.

Previously, Zhou Yu's cultivation level was not high enough, so it would take him a long time to memorize the Dao of Supreme Bolin. Now that his cultivation level has greatly increased, his memorization speed is naturally much faster than before.

In another ten thousand years or so, I reckon I'll be able to memorize it completely.

"Once I have memorized the Dao of Supreme Bolin, this clone of mine should leave." Zhou Yu had already made up his mind.

He planned to move the entire Zhou family to the Flame Dragon Domain.

After settling in, his clone left the Flame Dragon Domain to travel the world.

His second primordial spirit had already thoroughly searched the ancestral lands of the Sith race, capturing many puppets and also finding the wreckage of the interdimensional flying ship.

With these remains, there is hope of forming a complete domain spaceship. At that time, relying on the complete domain spaceship, we can easily travel to other territories to seek opportunities.

. . .

Time is passing by, and nearly a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, deep within the Yu Xinghai Ruins, the three Blackwood Overlords also arrived at an inconspicuous abyss canyon.

The Blackwood Sovereign sat cross-legged, with eight wooden pieces swirling and undulating around him in an incredibly mysterious rhythm, within which countless runes appeared.

About half an hour later, the Blackwood Overlord opened his eyes.

He shook his head at his two companions, and then the three of them got up and left.

However, at this moment, the Blackwood Overlord secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "That abyss canyon is the place we are looking for."

"Oh? The core of this palace is there?" a burly figure carrying a broadsword on his back asked.

“Even if the palace core isn’t there, this abyss canyon must be related to it,” Blackwood Overlord said confidently.

"So what should we do now?" another ruler asked.

“If I’m not mistaken, Mangya and the others are definitely watching the three of us. If we stay in that abyss canyon for too long or make any big commotion, they will definitely come over immediately,” said Blackwood Overlord. “We need to find a way to hold them off first.”

"It would be strange if they weren't keeping an eye on you, given your reputation, Kuroki," the figure carrying the broadsword said with a smile.

"Haha."

Blackwood Overlord also smiled, and then said, "Let me do some more deductions to see what the best course of action will give us the greatest chance of success."

The other two rulers quickly put away the Blackwood Ruler, allowing him to focus on his deductions.

This deduction took a full three months.

When the Blackwood Sovereign left the cave treasure, his face had turned extremely pale, clearly indicating that he had exhausted himself.

The other two were taken aback by this.

"Kuroki, what were the results of this simulation?" the two asked hurriedly.

Blackwood Sovereign remained silent for a moment before saying, "The difficulty of this deduction far exceeds my expectations. Although this competition involves a great many powerful figures, normally even if there were twice as many Sovereigns and Emperors, I would still be able to see many things clearly. But this time, I cannot see clearly."

"Can't see clearly?"

The two were taken aback upon hearing this. Although the Blackwood Sovereign's skill in divination was not as good as Emperor Yibo's, it was second only to him.

Given the difficulty of deduce the Dao, this is already an extremely high level of skill; even the Blackwood Overlord cannot see it clearly.
"The previous deduction of the Sith ruins went smoothly, indicating that the difficulty did not stem from the ruins themselves. As for the remaining individuals, Mangya, Fengyu, and Minglan, while troublesome, are not insurmountable for us. As for the Eternal Emperors, they are even less of a concern. Therefore, I suspect the difficulty lies with the two anomalies, Qianyu Daojun and Youcang Daojun," said Blackwood Overlord.
"So I tried to deduce the two of them separately, and sure enough, everything was incredibly blurry."

Both rulers were puzzled upon hearing this.

Although these two Dao Lords are both incredibly powerful, their current strength is at most comparable to theirs, so why is the deduction so difficult?

"It seems we have no choice but to take drastic measures."

The ruler carrying the broadsword spoke directly, saying that it was clear from the previous struggle that there were many treasures in this palace, and there were still many places protected by formations that had not been explored.

Once you grasp the core of the palace, you can easily travel to those places protected by formations, where you may very well reap incredible rewards.

He was naturally unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

"Think again, we need to come up with a foolproof plan," the Blackwood Overlord said in a deep voice.

Time continued to flow by, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!
With a spatial fluctuation, an old man with a white beard appeared in the abyss canyon. This was naturally the Dharma body of the Mangya Ruler.

"This abyss canyon is also where Blackwood and the others stayed." The Lord of Mangya's gaze swept over the various places in the area.

He hadn't paid much attention to this place; it was just a routine check of where Blackwood Overlord and the others had stayed.

Suddenly, however, the gaze of the Mangya Overlord sharpened slightly as he looked toward an inconspicuous space.

"In terms of deduction, I am not as good as Heimu, but he underestimates me too much." A smile appeared on the face of the Mangya Overlord.

With his mastery of spacetime, he could clearly sense that this place was a special spacetime node, leading to a hidden place. *Rip!*

The Lord of Mangya tore open a spacetime passage, and his figure vanished instantly.

At the same moment—

In another space, the Blackwood Overlord, who was still trying to monopolize the core of the palace while pretending to be searching, suddenly changed his expression by three points.

"Let's go back quickly."

Blackwood Overlord immediately spoke, and the three of them tore through space and left.

They quickly returned to the deep canyon, and the Blackwood Overlord, after a brief deduction, discovered the place where the Mangya Overlord had disappeared.

"It's Mangya, he's gone in." Blackwood Overlord sighed.

If the Lord of Mangya had not discovered this place, he would have searched for a long time before finding the exact entrance.

Although it was found instantly, it came at the cost of the fact that the Lord of Mangya had entered the area first.

"I come."

The burly man carrying the broadsword instantly drew his massive blade from his back and slashed down fiercely.

Boom!

The terrifying blade flashed violently, tearing through space and time, carving out a vast passage.

The passageway connects to a space that is not large, but a scene can be vaguely seen: inside a stone hall, there is a figure sitting cross-legged.

"It's the Lord of Mangya! Stop him!" The three of them instantly unleashed their power and charged forward.

"They arrived so quickly?" Lord Mangya was also surprised.

He was originally here in his Dharma body, and faced with the simultaneous attacks of the three Sovereigns, even though he was strong enough, he was instantly forced to dodge and flee.

"It seems that this stone palace is the core of this Sith ruin. Refining it will give us control of the entire palace." The Blackwood Overlord observed his surroundings and quickly discovered the clues.

It was obvious that the Lord of Mangya had wanted to refine this stone palace, but he failed.

"Blackwood, you go refine it, we'll hold off Mangya." The other two rulers made their decision instantly.

The three of them had long ago sworn an oath to distribute the treasures they obtained according to their merits, so they naturally didn't care who refined the stone palace at this moment.

Blackwood Overlord agreed at this time. His mastery of array formations was the deepest among the three, so he naturally did not hesitate.

"Lan Hao, Junior Brother You Cang, come help me quickly."

Seeing that the Blackwood Sovereign had begun to rapidly refine the stone palace, the Mangya Sovereign hurriedly called for help.

Just a moment—

"Haha, I'm here."

A gigantic blue beast claw tore through the void, and the Blue Hao Sovereign suddenly appeared there. He was also born from a Chaos Divine Beast, and only now, revealing his true form, did he unleash his strongest power.

Just moments later, a sword light shrouded in incredibly dense mist tore through space and time, and Zhou Yu's Cang clone also arrived.

"Stop Blackwood, don't let him succeed in refining it," Lord Mangya roared.

Although the two rulers on the Blackwood Ruler's side tried their best to stop him, the Mangya Ruler, with the help of his accomplices, also demonstrated the advantages of the Time-Space Dao. He easily bypassed their obstruction and wielded the Cosmic Treasure to attack the Blackwood Ruler.

Blackwood Overlord had no choice but to intervene and defend himself.

"Mangya Sovereign, Lanhao Sovereign, Youcang Daojun, this fighting is not good for us. Why don't we set some rules and compete fairly?" After failing to refine the stone palace in several attempts, Blackwood Sovereign quickly transmitted his words.

"What rules should be set?" Lord Mangya asked.

"Delineate a range for one-on-one combat," the Blackwood Overlord was about to state the rules when the space trembled once more.

Several other figures followed suit and entered the space.

"Haha, you all disappeared in that abyss canyon. This place is indeed extraordinary." The person who entered said with a laugh.

"Black Cloud Emperor, Green Stone Daoist."

Both sides looked at the newly appeared group of people and understood that things were probably not that simple.

Not long after, the Lord of the Underworld arrived with the Eternal Emperors of the ancient cultivator clan, followed by the Lord of Wind and Rain.

Even the two Heavenly Cloud Sovereigns who hadn't paid much attention to the commotion here rushed over.

Zhou Yu himself arrived quickly as well. Although he was confident he could break the formation if given more time, it would be more convenient to directly grasp the core of this place.

With so many powerful figures gathered, it becomes much harder to calm down.

The moment someone began attempting to refine the stone palace, it immediately triggered a terrifying melee.

boom! boom! boom!
Power burst forth, and even though this hidden space had a very strong and stable array, countless cracks appeared instantly.

In such a chaotic battle, an Eternal Emperor with slightly weaker survival skills would probably die instantly. Of course, no Eternal Emperor with insufficient survival skills would dare to get involved at this time.

Of course, the goal wasn't the chaotic battle, but rather to seize control of the stone palace.

Many powerful individuals would infuse their divine power into the area whenever they had the chance, refining and mastering the various restrictions at an extremely rapid pace.

Those who have a deep enough grasp of the stone palace either have a great mastery of formations or are strong enough to make multiple contacts with it.

Without a doubt, in terms of combined strength and formation ability, Zhou Yu himself is the best among everyone present, without exception.

So, without a sound, Zhou Yu himself began to take control of the internal restrictions of the stone hall. Once he had refined more than half of the restrictions, he could quickly repel the divine power of others.

"Not good! Stop that Qianyu Daojun!" Blackwood Overlord was the first to notice something was wrong, and he shouted angrily.

Immediately, the others also noticed something was wrong.

In an instant, many of the powerful figures who were already fighting Zhou Yu's true form became even faster in their attacks, and many more temporarily stopped and rushed over.

Of course, Zhou Yu's Cang clone also made a move at this time.

He directly stopped the two rulers.

One of the two was the overlord who came with the Blackwood Overlord and wielded a broadsword; his name was "Divine Bridge Overlord." The other was the Heavenly Cloud Overlord who came with the Fire Demon Overlord. The two had originally been entangled with each other, but now they joined forces to attack.

"Lord Youcang, don't blame me for not warning you. If you take one of my blows, you'll die." The Divine Bridge Sovereign's face was icy cold.

In terms of cultivation level, Daojun Cang is only at the peak of the Daojun level. His survival skills are too poor, and he simply cannot withstand a single blow from him.

"Then let's give it a try." Zhou Yu was very calm at this moment.

His true realm is far beyond the peak Dao Lord level; it's just that his Cang clone hasn't revealed it yet. If he were truly in a life-or-death crisis, he wouldn't just wait to die.

"kill!"

The Divine Bridge Overlord showed no mercy, and the cosmic treasure longsword in his hand transformed into an endless, dazzling blade of light as it slashed down furiously.

"You Cang Daojun, be careful." The thin, old man-like Tianyun Sovereign also made a move, but he was not willing to really offend Zhou Yu, You Cang's clone, so he held back three-tenths of his strength.

Even so, the simultaneous attack of the two rulers put Zhou Yu under immense pressure.

Especially that knife, which Zhou Yu needed to defend against with all his might.

Even if he splits into nine, as long as one clone is hit, the remaining clones will all be destroyed by the blade light along the cause and effect.

"But this pressure is exactly what I need."

Under immense pressure, Zhou Yu's mind became increasingly clear.

The ultimate path of time and space, which had long reached its bottleneck, finally took its final step at this moment.

"Haha, I completely understand now."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh, and at this moment, the two rulers also sensed the difference.

Previously, Zhou Yu's nine clones were merely powerful and fast, but now, the mystery of the nine clones has instantly changed.

They could travel freely through time and space, only slightly inferior to the Lord of Mangya.

However, the Lord of Mangya did not have a move that could be divided into nine, nor did he know the "Heart of Time and Space".

"Take this!"

Zhou Yu's nine clones were completely shrouded in dense fog. The nine of them simultaneously unleashed an attack from different times and spaces, surrounding and attacking the Divine Bridge Ruler.

"What is this?!" The Divine Bridge Ruler's expression changed; he sensed incredible power in these attacks.

He instantly unleashed his three heads and six arms; in addition to wielding the treasure of the universe, each of his other arms held a long sword to defend against attacks from all directions.

But the attack was too fast and too fierce.

Swords, one after another, pierced the divine body of the Divine Bridge Ruler from different times and spaces.

The Divine Bridge Overlord is skilled in the way of the sword and his attacks are fierce enough, but he does not have the immortal body of an Overlord. In order to increase his ability to survive, he tempered his own divine body and tempered it to a level that surpasses ordinary eternal top-grade divine weapons.

But at this moment, faced with these terrifying attacks, the divine body of the Divine Bridge Ruler instantly cracked.

Moreover, countless cracks appeared.

boom!
The divine body of the Divine Bridge Ruler exploded violently, its terrifying power annihilating his divine strength.

"how can that be"

The thought flashed through the mind of the second primordial spirit of the Divine Bridge Sovereign, who was far away in his hometown: his true self was dead!
P.S.: That's all for today.
