Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 258 Annihilation of Scarlet Snow in the Second Hall
Deep within the territory of the Dao Alliance in the Flame Dragon Domain.

A majestic holy city stands there, where snowflakes fall year-round, creating a desolate beauty.

However, although the holy city is beautiful, almost every cultivator there exudes a terrifying bloody aura, clearly indicating that they all bear countless sins.

This is the Crimson Snow Holy City, one of the eight holy cities!
The Lord of Scarlet Snow City was originally a great demon who had killed countless people in his early cultivation days. After becoming the Lord of the Holy City, he gathered a group of demons around him, which naturally led to the entire Scarlet Snow Holy City quickly becoming the favorite place for great sinners.

At this moment, inside a palace at the highest point of the Crimson Snow Holy City.

Fei Xue Sheng Cheng, who was somewhat thin and had white hair and eyebrows, stood there with his hands behind his back. His green eyes kept flashing, and countless thoughts were swirling within them.

More than 100,000 years have passed since the battle for the Sith ruins, but he still can't forget those scenes.

The number of times he felt shocked in that short period of time was more than the number of times he had been cultivating for many years.

“There must be a great secret about Dao Lord Cang and Dao Lord Qianyu.” City Lord Feixue knew in her heart.

The sudden appearance of one such heaven-defying Dao Lord might be an accident, but the simultaneous appearance of two, each more terrifying than the last, cannot be described as a mere accident.

There must be a great secret involved, and even the Lord of Scarlet Snow City could guess that it might be related to the legendary Supreme Being.

Even the City Lord of Scarlet Snow didn't know if the Supreme Being could actually cultivate such a Dao Lord, but this was the most reasonable explanation.

Lord Feixue also knew that he was not the only one who realized the problem; many powerful figures would have similar guesses.

But no matter how much you guess, it's useless.

Daoist Qianyu and Daoist Youcang are too powerful. In the face of absolute strength, any schemes and calculations are laughable.

"The only breakthrough point is that Northern Underworld Dao Lord..." the City Lord of Scarlet Snow thought to himself.

Although the Northern Underworld Dao Lord has not yet shown any particularly incredible side, the City Lord of Scarlet Snow has a vague feeling that he is not simple.

Of course, at this time, City Lord Feixue was just thinking about it. It was too risky to take action against Ji Ning. Once Daoist Youcang and the others found out, it would be all over. He didn't want to take that risk.

"It's a pity that no parts of the Domain Airship were found in the Sith ruins this time. Otherwise, if my Domain Airship were fully repaired, it would at least be able to protect itself." The City Lord of Scarlet Snow was also quite unwilling.

He had found a spaceship in Yu Xinghai a long time ago, but it was too badly damaged, and its space-time travel speed was less than one billionth of its peak.

Even so, it was still much faster than the speed at which Lord Scarlet Snow City traveled through time and space, so he always regarded it as a treasure and was extremely eager to find other parts to repair the Domain Flying Boat.

A single interdimensional flying ship is enough to make even the rulers envious, let alone the Lord of Scarlet Snow City.

Lord Scarlet Snow had high hopes for this battle for the Sith ruins, but unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; he didn't even find half a piece.

"There are still many places in that palace that haven't been explored, but the palace eventually fell into the hands of Daoist Youcang and Daoist Qianyu..." City Lord Feixue wanted to try to find out if there were any parts he needed, but he was also worried that the Domain Flying Ship would be exposed and Daoist Youcang would turn against him.

The City Lord of Scarlet Snow understood that if Cang Daojun were willing, he could kill him instantly.

...

As the Lord of Scarlet Snow City was lost in thought, his expression suddenly changed.

attract!!
It was drawn to the tattered flying boat from his dimensional vessel!

Wow!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Lord of Scarlet Snow City tore through space and headed towards the direction of the attraction.

"Hmm? That attraction is also heading towards me." City Lord Scarlet Snow immediately realized that the remains must also be on some cultivator.

"Let's see who it is?" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the City Lord of Scarlet Snow. There were not many in the entire Flame Dragon Domain that he could be wary of. If their strength was average, he would just kill them.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided.

"Ok?"

The City Lord of Scarlet Snow looked at the person in front of him with some surprise. It was a figure dressed in simple robes, who clearly exuded an aura of eternity.

This naturally surprised Lord Scarlet Snow.

An Eternal Emperor, especially one he had never seen before, was indeed rare.

It should be noted that very few Eternal Emperors survive in the entire Flame Dragon Domain.

The unfamiliar Eternal Emperor was either a previously unknown Dao Lord who had just achieved Dao, or he came from endless darkness. Either way, it was something that City Lord Scarlet Snow had not expected.

The one who arrived at this moment was naturally Zhou Yu's Eternal Emperor clone.

He had already memorized the Dao of the Supreme Bolin, so he quickly led his family, who were on the Tiger Pavilion warship, away to the Flame Dragon Domain.

Upon arriving at the Flame Dragon Domain, Zhou Yu immediately went to the vicinity of Scarlet Snow Holy City. Sure enough, the wreckage of the domain spaceship he obtained from the ancestral land of the Sith Clan quickly attracted him.

This also led Lord Feixue to his presence.

However, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to make a move. He looked at the City Lord of Feixue and said with a faint smile, "So it is the City Lord of Feixue. You have a treasure that I want. How about you sell it to me?"

"Do you know what's on my body?" A murderous glint flashed in the green eyes of the City Lord of Scarlet Snow.

"It should be a very valuable treasure," Zhou Yu said.

"It is indeed a treasure." The City Lord of Scarlet Snow said coldly, "If you do not have sufficient strength, then you are not worthy of possessing this treasure."

As he spoke, the City Lord of Scarlet Snow instantly used his supernatural powers to conjure six arms, and six curved blades appeared in his hands.

Although the City Lord of Scarlet Snow judged that Zhou Yu might be an Eternal Emperor who had drifted from the endless darkness, he was definitely not a Ruler.

Any sovereign's aura is much stronger.

Lord Feixue understood that no matter what strategy he adopted, he first had to figure out the strength of this Eternal Emperor.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu simply waved his hand.

In an instant, more than thirty figures appeared in dense formation.

"Go, capture this Lord of Scarlet Snow City," Zhou Yu commanded.

"Yes, Master."

More than thirty figures responded in unison, and they all attacked at once.

Lord Scarlet Snow was also taken aback.

"Emperor-level puppets? So many?" The City Lord of Scarlet Snow pondered rapidly as she engaged in combat with the puppets.

The numerous puppets were all captured by Zhou Yu inside the Tiger Academy warship. However, most of them were only equivalent to top-tier emperors. Although joining forces would greatly increase their strength, they posed a limited threat to the City Lord of Scarlet Snow.

The real main force consists of four puppets at the level of the lords of holy cities.

Of course, these four puppets are only at the level of ordinary Holy City Lords, and are quite different from City Lord Feixue.

Each of the four puppets was easily overwhelmed by the City Lord of Scarlet Snow, but their puppet bodies were indestructible, and the four of them together could protect themselves. In addition, there were a bunch of top-level Emperor-level puppets harassing them, which made it difficult for the City Lord of Scarlet Snow to deal with them for the time being.

Of course, the puppets couldn't defeat Lord Scarlet Snow City either.

The lords of the eight holy cities are not without merit; they do indeed possess considerable abilities.

"Is the Eternal Emperor's lack of strength the reason he didn't make a move?" The City Lord of Scarlet Snow narrowed his eyes. Although he was tied up by many puppets, he still focused more on Zhou Yu.

"This is near Lord Scarlet Snow City, you fool." Lord Scarlet Snow City sneered.

Just a moment—

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Suddenly, figures tore through space and rushed over.

Leading the group was an old man dressed in a blood-red robe. His name was Blood Cloud Emperor. Although he was not the lord of the Holy City, his strength was no less than that of the Crimson Snow City Lord. He had lived in the Crimson Snow Holy City for a long time and was a staunch supporter of the Crimson Snow City Lord.

The remaining figures were all Eternal Emperors. Although they were not as powerful as the Crimson Snow City Lord and the Blood Cloud Emperor, their strength was not to be underestimated.

Upon receiving news from the City Lord of Scarlet Snow, all the Eternal Emperors who had gathered around her naturally rushed over.

"Brother Xueyun, capture that Eternal Emperor!" City Lord Feixue shouted.

At this moment, Emperor Xueyun had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He didn't know why Feixue was so eager to attack a stranger, an Eternal Emperor, without even finding out the other party's background.

However, with the arrow already on the bowstring, Emperor Blood Cloud didn't think too much about it.

As long as it's not a ruler, they naturally have no fear of the other party near Scarlet Snow City.

"Do it."

Emperor Blood Cloud gave a low shout, and immediately many Eternal Emperors formed a great formation.

Although none of them were particularly skilled in formations, they could still set up formations based on the grand formations already created by the masters of formations.

Once everyone forms a formation, their strength naturally increases significantly.

hum!
A towering crimson array plate in the void, containing boundless killing intent, surged toward Zhou Yu.

"It seems they've all arrived, which saves me the trouble."

“Lord Scarlet Snow City, I gave you a chance, but you couldn’t seize it.”

Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly. At this moment, he finally made his move, instantly forming a spatial domain centered on himself.

With the support of mental energy, the power of the domain instantly soared to an incredible level, completely surpassing that of a ruler.

In an instant, the blood-red array plate was torn apart.

"what is this?"

"Do not!!"

Before any of the weaker Eternal Emperors could react, they only felt the space become incredibly violent, and as the world spun around them, they were silently annihilated into nothingness.

The Blood Cloud Emperor held out for a few more moments, but was soon annihilated as well.

"This is."

Lord Feixue was shocked. Instinctively, he took out a life-saving treasure and tried to activate it.

But at that moment, a spatial force arrived.

Tear!

The Lord of Scarlet Snow City was instantly torn apart. Although he transformed into an immortal body to save his life, even that immortal body was quickly annihilated into nothingness.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was using the "Heart of Space" to enhance his spatial techniques. Although the power was not as great as the "Heart of Time and Space" enhancing the ultimate time and space technique, and he might need to use a few more moves to deal with the Overlord, it was more than enough to kill the Lord of the Holy City.

"Master is so strong." "Much stronger than when he captured us before." The puppets were all watching this scene with great amazement.

"Go to Scarlet Snow Holy City," Zhou Yu ordered. "Arrest all cultivators who have committed grave sins."

"Yes, Master!"

All the puppets agreed.

A piece of news quickly shocked the entire Flame Dragon Domain.

An unknown powerful figure easily destroyed the Crimson Snow Holy City.

The Eternal Emperor, except for those who possessed a second primordial spirit, was completely annihilated.

Many Dao Lords and World Realm cultivators were also captured and killed.

The Crimson Snow Holy City, which housed countless terrifying demons, has become a thing of the past.

"According to the surviving Eternal Emperors, the weaker Eternal Emperors were all instantly killed, and even Xueyun and Feixue died shortly afterward."

"For an ordinary ruler-level being to kill the two of them, it would probably take a long time to hunt them down. To kill them instantly, would it be a master of another universe, or a ruler with special treasures?"

"."

The cultivators of the Flame Dragon Domain are all watching and observing.

The destruction of a holy city by a powerful outsider is nothing; what is truly frightening is the potential for a massacre.

Of course, the cultivators in the Flame Dragon Domain are not worried now, because they have the Heaven-defying Dao Lord "You Cang Dao Jun" in charge.

As time went on, the cultivators of the Flame Dragon Domain soon discovered that after the original Scarlet Snow Holy City was destroyed, a new city had appeared there, and a large number of unfamiliar cultivators had emerged.

After that, the two leaders of the Flame Dragon Domain Alliance sent their avatars to the new city.

Not long after, the Dao Alliance announced that "Emperor Qianyu" had joined the Dao Alliance of the Flame Dragon Domain and established a new holy city, "Qianyu Holy City".

This shocked many people. Later, after the Dao Alliance released some information, many powerful figures realized that this "Emperor Qianyu" was born in a secluded and dangerous place and had been unable to escape until recently when he led his people to escape.

Strictly speaking, they could be considered cultivators from the Flame Dragon Domain, so they were easily accepted by the Dao Alliance.

"What kind of dangerous place is this? How could it give birth to such a powerful figure, and even keep him trapped like this?"

"Furthermore, is it really true that Emperor Qianyu and Daoist Qianyu have absolutely no connection whatsoever?"

"."

At this moment, even the powerful figures who knew the news were filled with doubt.

Just as City Lord Feixue had suspected, other powerful figures in the Flame Dragon Domain had long guessed that Zhou Yu's main body and You Cang's clone must have had special encounters. Otherwise, the appearance of one such prodigy could be considered an accident, but the probability of two appearing at the same time was too small.

The sudden appearance of the Qianyu Emperor, whose strength is unfathomable, naturally leads to speculation.

Of course, no one speculated that Zhou Yu's true form and the Eternal Emperor's avatar were the same person.

After all, one is an Eternal Emperor and the other is a Dao Lord. Even their Daos are different, so it's unreasonable to suspect that they are the same person.

Many cultivators speculate that the perilous place that trapped "Emperor Qianyu" might be connected to the special opportunities of Daoist Qianyu and Daoist Youcang, or even that they might be the same place.

This speculation quickly became the mainstream opinion, and many powerful figures in the Flame Dragon Domain began searching for that dangerous place. Even powerful figures from other domains were showing interest and were on their way.
Zhou Yu was not unaware of the speculations and rumors circulating among the Eternal Emperors, but he did not care.

After settling his clansmen, his Eternal Emperor clone left behind his second primordial spirit and a bunch of puppets to guard the Holy City, while his true self quietly left the Flame Dragon Domain.

After killing the Lord of Scarlet Snow City, he obtained a nearly complete Realm Flying Ship using the parts he had in his possession. With this Realm Flying Ship, he was now ready to venture out and explore.
. . .

Time is passing by.

Millions of years have passed without us even realizing it.

At this moment, deep within the Blue Flower Cave.

Zhou Yu's second primordial spirit, the clone of Cang, finally put down the last scroll of the Dharma Jade Tube.

It took over a million years, with time accelerated a thousandfold—actually a billion years—for Zhou Yu's thinking speed to barely finish reading all the methods left behind by the Supreme Qi.

“Countless methods represent countless wisdoms. Having witnessed the wisdom of numerous geniuses throughout the chaotic universe, I can say that I truly have hope of achieving ultimate enlightenment.” Zhou Yu thought to himself with emotion.

If he had been allowed to merge with the Dao before, even the ultimate Dao of Time and Space, although he met the requirements in terms of Dao heart, his accumulation was too small, and the success rate would probably not have been even 10%.

It should be understood that a Dao Lord who has the hope of achieving Dao Integration generally reaches the edge of Dao Integration within a hundred or at most a thousand Chaos Eras, and then needs nearly 108,000 Chaos Eras of time to accumulate experience.

There are quite a few peak Dao Lords who have reached the edge of Dao Integration within a Chaos Era.

Only with enough accumulation can there be even a glimmer of hope.

Without sufficient time to accumulate experience, expecting to succeed based solely on those nine years of enlightenment during the Dao Integration period? That's simply a pipe dream!

Zhou Yu observed countless methods, and although he only observed them, his accumulated knowledge increased immeasurably, surpassing the accumulated knowledge of many Dao Lords in their entire lives by hundreds of millions of times.

"If I were to attain the Dao now, and it were the ultimate Dao of Time and Space, my chances of success would be over 10%," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Of course, this is just speculation; in reality, he is not clear about the difficulty of achieving the ultimate path of Dao.

Moreover, different talents will also affect the attainment of Dao.

With Zhou Yu's talent, the chances might be much higher than he estimated.

"You read pretty fast."

At this moment, the spirit of the Azure Flower Cave appeared in front of Zhou Yu. With a wave of his hand, the entire space began to rotate.

Immediately following, eleven jade tubes and an incomparably crystal-clear and dazzling divine thought flew out.

"These are the eleven volumes of the Dao of the Ultimate Dao Lords collected by my master, as well as my master's own Dao. You should also memorize them," said the spirit of the Blue Flower Cave.

Zhou Yu accepted the items, thanked Qi Zhizun once again in his heart, and then began to examine them one by one.

Each volume of the Ultimate Path provides Zhou Yu with some inspiration.

Needless to say, Qi Zhizun's own Dao was even more profound, and after watching it, Zhou Yu was deeply immersed in it for a long time.

"The Dao I want to merge with is at the same level as the Dao of Supreme Qi and Supreme Bolin. I really can't be careless in the slightest." Zhou Yu understood more and more at this moment that he could not easily merge with the Dao.

The most important guidance the Supreme Dao gave him was to give him a clear understanding of his goals.

Such a profound understanding of the Dao naturally requires thorough preparation before attempting to merge with it.

"You've seen everything you needed to see. Follow me to the second hall, which is also the last hall," the spirit of the Blue Flower Cave spoke again.

Zhou Yu naturally agreed. Without hesitation, he followed the spirit of the Blue Flower Cave to another hall.

This hall is much smaller, only about a hundred feet in diameter. The hall is shaped like an octagon. There are some Dharma gates around it, but not many, only about ten thousand scrolls. In the center is a stone platform.

"Sit down there," the spirit of the Blue Flower Cave said, pointing to the stone platform.

Zhou Yu nodded and sat down without hesitation.

At that moment, Zhou Yu felt a chill enter his soul and spirit, causing his already extremely fast thinking speed to increase dramatically once again.

"This supreme stone platform is also of great use to those who have achieved Dao Integration," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

As is widely known, the Dao can only last for a maximum of nine years.

In these nine years, every Dao Lord has tried their best to improve the speed of their soul and true spirit through various means, and there are treasures that can increase it by a thousand or ten thousand times in a short period of time.

The Supreme Stone Platform represents the pinnacle of this type of treasure.

After all, this was something that Supreme Qi had painstakingly crafted for his own use. If given to a Dao Lord, it could easily boost the Dao Lord's thinking speed to its limit.

With the Supreme Stone Platform, other treasures with the same effect, such as pills that increase thinking speed, would probably be useless.

"However, the effect of my talent 'Super Mindset' is stacked with the effect of the Supreme Stone Platform," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

While it didn't increase by a hundredfold, it did increase by tenfold.

The benefits of this in accordance with the Tao are self-evident.

Even if Zhou Yu discovers flaws in his Dao during the process of merging with the Dao, he might still have time to correct them.

While Zhou Yu was pondering, the spirit of the Qinghua Cave, who appeared to be an old man, told him about the original intention of the Supreme Being in leaving behind this cave—to find a cultivator with sufficient talent to perfect the "Ninefold Space" method.

The Ninefold Space Method, also known as the "Power of Blue and White Porcelain," is the culmination of Qi Zhizun's life's work. Unfortunately, he only created it up to the Dao Lord level and did not create a version for the Eternal Emperor.

If this method is created, it can instantly increase the strength of ordinary cultivators by hundreds or thousands of times, and even supreme beings can have their strength increased by several tens of percent.

"Perfecting this method is extremely difficult; even my master couldn't achieve it," the spirit of the Azure Flower Cave sighed.
"But my master believes in the wisdom of those who come after. Among cultivators, there will always be some exceptionally talented individuals who may succeed. To help you, my master has also left behind a special treasure that has an incredible effect on enlightenment."

Zhou Yu nodded upon hearing this; he understood that it was the Stone Fire Pearl.

This Fire Stone Pearl was obtained by Qi Zhizun and others from a Supreme-level strange life form they killed, and it is indeed extremely precious.

"However, if you want to obtain that treasure, you must prove your comprehension," the old man said, looking at Zhou Yu.

"You must create ten techniques at the level of a Holy City Lord before I can give you that treasure."

"What if I create my own supreme-level technique?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Dominator level?"

The old man was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Zhou Yu to say that. He knew that a Sovereign-level technique was not the same as a Holy City Lord-level technique.

"The rule left by the master is to create your own Holy City Lord level techniques. You should be more down-to-earth and create ten Holy City Lord level techniques first," the old man said, shaking his head.

Zhou Yu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He knew that as the spirit of the cave, the old man could only do things according to the requirements of the Supreme Qi.

Zhou Yu inquired about the Sovereign-level method because his Eternal Emperor clone was trying to master the Sovereign-level spatial Dao. Although his progress over the past million years had not been significant, with the support of the Supreme Stone Platform, it might be much easier if his second primordial spirit, Cang clone, also tried to comprehend it.

There might still be hope of figuring it out!
"Let's talk about the Dominator-level Space Dao later. First, let's create ten Holy City Lord-level techniques." Zhou Yu quickly made his decision.

He would try any method, whether it was a supreme Dao or a holy city lord level method from other Daos.

All of this is preparation for achieving harmony with the Tao in the future.
P.S.: That's all for today.
