Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 283 Breakthrough to Dual Path Lord
In the original land, the avatars of the lords gathered in a dark space.

A figure covered in silver scales and with twelve sharp horns on his head said angrily, "The core of the Begu World Cluster, the Begu Sacred Realm, has been destroyed. If this continues, the Begu World Cluster will not be able to hold on. I might as well burn my power and fight one more time!"

"Jin, don't be impulsive," Yuan said, shaking his head.
"Those ancestors are already very familiar with our methods. They are prepared. If we act rashly without a good opportunity, they will only find a weakness!"

"Opportunity? It's too hard to find one without taking the initiative!" Lord Jin shook his head.

“But if you take the risk and your main combat avatar dies, you will only lose faster,” a figure in a blue robe said with a frown.

“Naigu is right, what we need to do is buy time,” Yuan Ye said.

"How is Xingyou progressing?" asked Minghuang, the female lord dressed in golden robes.

"I haven't told you before," Yuan said with a smile.

"Xingyou's progress is very fast. His accumulation in the spacetime path has caught up with the level when Jin and Wulan broke through."

"What? How long has it been?" The other lords were all taken aback when they heard this.

Although the battle in the Begoul world group was fierce, it had only been less than ten epochs, or about seven or eight billion years.

“Of course, it’s just accumulation. When it will break through is uncertain. We’ll have to ask Xingmang,” Yuan said again.

"Starlight, stop keeping me in suspense, tell me what's going on with Starry Night?" Everyone looked at Starlight, who was wearing a blue robe.

"He is indeed a super genius," Xingmang shook his head and said.

"Within a hundred epochs, unless an accident leads to his annihilation, his spacetime path will definitely break through. Of course, it is also possible that he will become a lord through another path!"

"Another path to becoming a lord?" Everyone was taken aback.

“Xingyou, like Brother Yuan, is proficient in many Daos, and his talent is even more exaggerated. Do you know how many ultimate Daos he has already mastered?” Xingmang asked.

"More than nine?"

The lords were all surprised, which meant that there must have been more than nine successful attempts to replicate the original, otherwise Starburst wouldn't have said that.

“As far as I know, there should be 21,” Starlight said directly.

In an instant, a look of surprise appeared on everyone's face, including Yuan's.

Yuan's cultivation has only reached 24 ultimate paths so far.

"If the 21 ultimate paths can be perfectly combined and operated, in terms of strength, it will instantly soar to an extremely high level." Yuan sighed.

Among the seven lords, some were strong and some were weak.

The strongest is Starlight, and the two Chaos Origin Paths give him the potential to become the strongest in the Infinite Chaos Origin Space.

Secondly, there is the element.

His Hunyuan Rules of Operation initially consisted of nine ultimate paths perfectly combined and operating, but now there are 27. In terms of strength, he is much stronger than when he first broke through.

Then there are the other lords, each with their own strengths, and their abilities are roughly equal.

“This Xingyou has immense potential; he is expected to master two Chaos Origin Paths.” Everyone realized this as well.

Whether it's a breakthrough in the spacetime path or a breakthrough through the combination of multiple ultimate paths, one can continue to explore another path after the breakthrough. Once one masters two paths, even if the two paths don't complement each other very well, the boost to one's strength is absolutely undeniable.

"Gentlemen, don't be too happy yet," Starlight added.
"Although he has mastered many ultimate paths, he did not follow the path of the elder brother. The path he chose is extremely difficult. In the future I see, the chance of breaking through this path is far less than the possibility of breaking through the space-time path."

"Another way?" Everyone frowned, but they didn't say anything more.

The lords can only follow their own path; they can't offer guidance.

To their surprise, even though Mingyuan had already told them the path to their breakthrough, Xingyou managed to resist and choose a different path.

The lords hadn't paid much attention to Zhou Yu before, but now that they knew about his many strengths, they were filled with curiosity and kept talking about it.

However, Xingmang's expression suddenly changed.

"Starlight, what's wrong?" The expressions of the many lords instantly turned solemn, fearing that Starlight might see something detrimental to them in the future.

“That’s a good thing,” Starlight said. “Star Nether is about to comprehend the 22nd Ultimate Path.”

"That's it?" The lords were naturally puzzled.

“This 22nd ultimate path is quite special; it is the path of the soul,” Xingmang said.

Upon hearing this, Lord Yuan and others suddenly realized that this was indeed a rather special path. For any other path, one could find a bunch of ultimate paths throughout the entire Infinite Chaos Space, but there wasn't a single ultimate path for the Soul Path.

The lords naturally couldn't help but ponder and study this special path, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

Xingmang didn't speak again at this point; he continued to observe the future.

He hadn't paid much attention to Zhou Yu's ability to comprehend the future branch of the Soul Dao, but now that this future branch had begun to dominate, it was almost certain that Zhou Yu would comprehend it.

What concerned Xingmang was that in the future after Zhou Yu comprehended the Dao of the Soul, he began to have difficulty observing, and everything involving Zhou Yu became blurry.

"What changes will this path bring him?" Xingmang wondered.

Since he comprehended the second Chaos Origin Path, he has been able to observe the future of many lords and ancestors, but now, it is gradually becoming blurred, which is quite astonishing.

. . .

At this moment, inside Zhou Yu's cave.

He sat cross-legged, his mind filled with many thoughts.

The emotional changes of the countless beings in the source world he saved gave him a sudden realization. Mainly, when the simulation failed last time, his clone in the simulation was also attacked in a similar way. Although the simulation failed, Zhou Yu inherited all the memories. He could empathize with that feeling of despair.

With Zhou Yu's talent, what he lacked was this sudden enlightenment.

boom!
Zhou Yu's soul had changed without him realizing it.

A world-class Hunyuan soul is powerful enough, but it is merely a soul nurtured by a powerful physical body. Its use of the soul can only be described as very crude. At this moment, Zhou Yu's precision in controlling his soul has increased many times over.

"Of the three paths originally planned, the Soul Path was the first to be broken through," Zhou Yu said with considerable emotion.

He also has many avatars in the Origin World that have not yet reached the level of Chaos Origin. With the help of these avatars, as long as he cultivates each path to the level of half Chaos Origin, creates a half Chaos Origin physical body, and then combines it with the Soul Path, then naturally they will become Chaos Origin Paths.

He is the only one who has the capability to traverse the infinite primordial space.

“Besides, the Path of the Soul is also an ultimate path.” Zhou Yu had a strong urge to integrate the Path of the Soul into his Array Dao.

With that in mind, Zhou Yu quickly did just that.

This combination felt incredibly smooth to Zhou Yu.

His original array formation was centered around the array formation, combining the mysteries of 20 ultimate array formations and a vast amount of second-level peak array formations.

This path was incredibly vast, and even Zhou Yu, who had not yet broken through, was able to generate many incredible abilities.

Just like before, outside that source world that was being targeted, the speed at which he absorbed the power of Chaos Origin directly scared away a world-class Chaos Origin life form.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for a weak clone of a world-class Chaos Origin to absorb Chaos Origin power so quickly, but Zhou Yu did it.

His array formation is like a majestic dragon, possessing all the external characteristics of a dragon, but it is not yet able to truly take flight.

But at this point, the Dao of the Soul can be incorporated into it.

It's like the finishing touch on a painting.
Boom!

Zhou Yu's eyes seemed to radiate infinite light, and an incomparably complex, vast, and incredible Dao emerged in his mind.

This path itself did not exist in the infinite primordial space, but it was created at this moment.

This path also became a part of Zhou Yu's life. As long as the path exists, Zhou Yu will never die!
This is also why any lord is absolutely immortal.

"Breakthrough!"

“He broke through!”

"."

Meanwhile, in another cave, the lord's clones also sensed the appearance of the new path, but soon their expressions changed.

"Why does this path feel so powerful?"

"That's a bit too strong!"

Yuan and the others were all surprised. They could vaguely sense the incredible aura of this path, which was much stronger than when they had just broken through.

Although the lords' paths were all self-created, their power was roughly the same when they were first created, but this time there was an exception.

"We'll find out what the mysteries of his path are in a moment. Starlight, tell him not to break through outside, lest his aura be leaked," Yuan hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this, Xingmang nodded.

Zhou Yu, who had just broken through, soon received a message from Starlight, instructing him to break through within the Initial Land and not to move his clones outside.

The original land is a mysterious place, and with the lords' various methods, it can conceal all fluctuations of energy, including the lords' breakthroughs.

"Then let's break through in the very beginning."

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu conjured countless arrays on and inside his body with a thought.

These formations activated, frantically absorbing energy.

boom! boom! boom!
The endless energy being absorbed caused Zhou Yu's physical body to undergo a rapid transformation.

Supported by a terrifying array, his size began to increase rapidly. Every part of his body was tempered by the array, becoming incredibly resilient.

The characteristics of the "Hunyuan Formation" that Zhou Yu currently controls are mainly reflected in three aspects.

Energy, matter, rules.

In terms of energy, it absorbs energy incredibly quickly!

This ability caused other world-class Chaos Sources to mistake him for a lord even before Zhou Yu's Dao had undergone a transformation. Now that he has become a lord, his speed of absorbing energy has undergone an even greater transformation, reaching an unbelievable level.

Materially, the array tempering will allow Zhou Yu's physical body to reach its peak in terms of hardness and strength.

In terms of rules, on the one hand, it is similar to the Hunyuan rule of “Yuan”, which can guide many forces; on the other hand, it can form various special independent formations.

"He absorbs energy so quickly? His energy reserves have reached my level in the blink of an eye," Lord Moman couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he was the smallest among the lords, he was still a lord-level lord, and Zhou Yu's speed in absorbing power was somewhat exaggerated.

"It's very fast. It seems there's a reason why his Dao aura is so powerful." Everyone nodded. They instantly realized that if Zhou Yu sent out countless clones to guard each place, the world-class Chaos Source would probably no longer dare to devour everything.

With Zhou Yu's astonishing speed of absorbing energy, he could instantly raise his strength to a level sufficient to annihilate a world-class Chaos Origin. Of course, the rear battlefield is important, but the front battlefield is even more important. They also expect Zhou Yu's direct combat power to defeat the Ancestors; that is the most important thing.

Zhou Yu's breakthrough did not last long and ended quickly.

At this moment, his size was almost comparable to a source world, and the energy within his body was vast, reaching a level close to the origin of the continent.

Before Zhou Yu could properly examine his physical body, a laugh rang out, belonging to the old man Yuan.

"Senior Yuan." Zhou Yu smiled as he looked at the newcomer.

“Xingyou, now that you are a lord, if you don’t mind, just call me Brother Yuan.” Yuan quickly shook his head and said, then waved his hand and handed a document to Zhou Yu.

"These are our combat methods. You should study them as soon as possible and create suitable tactics. We need to cooperate with you to fight against the naturally born chaotic life forms," ​​Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded naturally.

With war imminent and countless lives being lost every moment, there was no time to lose.

Yuan didn't stay long; he quickly left, leaving Zhou Yu to ponder the words of the others.

Yuan had already given a general overview of the Dao of the seven lords, but the information he sent this time was much more detailed, including the Dao of each lord, their battle tactics, and so on.

The methods and information among the various lords of the cultivators are completely transparent. Zhou Yu will also reveal his Dao to the other seven lords later.

He wasn't opposed to it, after all, the lords had helped him so much to break through so quickly.

"Among the seven lords, the strongest is Xingmang, the largest and most defensive is Wulan, Minghuang has the power to hit the mark with a single blow, Moman and Jin can unleash power far exceeding their usual strength, and Yuan Energy combines the power of everyone to unleash several times the power." Looking at this information, Zhou Yu had a better understanding of his own strength.

"My Hunyuan Formation Dao is probably quite powerful." Zhou Yu was also surprised.

His size and defensive capabilities are comparable to Wu Lan's.

His energy reserves and energy recovery speed surpass those of all other lords, and his power should be the strongest among all lords.

In addition, he has also easily figured out some large formations, which will probably increase his strength by 20% to 30% in a one-on-one fight.

Reaching two or three tenths of the lord level is no easy feat.

A starlight at the dual-path level is probably only a few degrees stronger than a normal lord.

"It seems that my Hunyuan Formation Dao is at the dual-level strength." Zhou Yu vaguely understood.

With these advantages combined, his Hunyuan Formation can indeed unleash the power of two paths.

But Zhou Yu wasn't surprised. His Hunyuan Formation Dao was a completely new way to break through, and its difficulty was simply outrageous.

First, he comprehended 21 ultimate paths and a vast amount of second-level God King paths, combining all these mysteries into the array path to make it constantly transform.

Finally, he comprehended the extremely special "Ultimate Soul Dao," which had a finishing touch effect, and thus finally broke through.

The Hunyuan Dao, being a self-created Dao, naturally has its power determined by the method of its creation.

Zhou Yu forged such a difficult path that it would be impossible for a normal cultivator to succeed; only Zhou Yu could succeed, which is why this path possesses extraordinary power.

"My only flaw is my movement technique." Zhou Yu quickly realized his problem: he wasn't fast enough, he lacked agility, and his movement technique was naturally quite average.

However, Zhou Yu quickly found a solution.

. . .

On the other side, the seven lords were all eagerly waiting for Zhou Yu to finish creating the battle tactics.

However, as time went on, the lords gradually began to sense something was amiss.

"That's strange. Xingyou created the Hunyuan Dao in such a short time and broke through to the Lord level. His comprehension must be ridiculously high. How come it takes so long to create a battle technique?"

"Just wait patiently. We've waited so long before, a little more time won't make a difference."

"What I'm more curious about is Xingyou's current strength; his Dao is clearly extraordinary."

"Starlight, what do you say?"

Everyone looked at the starlight.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Xingmang said without elaborating.

Before Zhou Yu became a lord, his vision of his future was already rather vague, and now it's completely unclear.

What else could he say in this situation?
In fact, Zhou Yu didn't keep everyone waiting for long. Soon, there was movement on him, who had been sitting there the whole time.

Boom!

A strange yet equally high-quality aura was born.

"Another path?"

The lords exchanged glances, and they all understood that Zhou Yu had been creating another path during this time.

And it really did succeed that quickly.

"He had already accumulated enough experience beforehand, but to succeed so quickly is truly astonishing," Xingmang sighed.

Creating the Hunyuan Dao emphasizes "the harmony between the Dao and the mind." Even if you have accumulated enough knowledge, it's not certain whether you can actually create it.

The Starburst technique uses force to break through magic, and it took a long time to achieve the second Chaos Origin Path!

"It's done."

Zhou Yu nodded to himself at this moment.

He had accumulated enough experience before, and now that he had broken through to the Lord level and his soul had become much stronger, he was thinking of creating the Chaotic Origin Spacetime Path immediately.

The creative process went very smoothly, and it was a success on the first try.

"The next step is to combine the two Hunyuan Daos," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

The key to unleashing the power of the two Hunyuan Dao lies in whether they can be perfectly combined.

Like the two paths of Starlight, one path contains one part the mystery of time and nine parts the mystery of space, and the other contains three parts the mystery of space and seven parts the mystery of time. Both are primordial spacetime, and it is very easy to combine them perfectly, even naturally. That is why Starlight can exert strength that surpasses that of ordinary lords.

Zhou Yu's two paths, one being the Hunyuan Array Path and the other the Hunyuan Spacetime Path which contains three parts time mysteries and seven parts space mysteries, don't seem to be closely related on the surface.

“However, my Hunyuan Array Dao is still very good at being inclusive.” After a little thought, Zhou Yu had a variety of ideas.

By integrating many characteristics of the Hunyuan Time-Space Dao into his physical body, he could easily merge into the void. In that instant, Zhou Yu's biggest weakness—movement technique—became his advantage.

Of the seven lords, only Xingmang is probably stronger than Zhou Yu.

In addition, the Hunyuan Time-Space Dao also has many other methods, all of which need to be combined with the Hunyuan Array Dao.

Zhou Yu pondered this for several months.

Wow!
Zhou Yu finally opened his eyes, got up, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Zhou Yu returned to his normal size and arrived at a space containing a dark lake.

At this moment, the seven avatars of the lords were all here, sitting casually around the lake, discussing the situation of the war.

Zhou Yu's arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting," Zhou Yu said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Haha, it's so worth it to witness you comprehend another path in such a short time," Yuan said with great emotion.

"Please sit down," Yuan said again.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu also found an open space to sit down.

"Xingyou, tell us about your methods. We're all curious about your strength," Lord Jin said directly.

"it is good."

Zhou Yu didn't hide anything and quickly explained his current strength.

Upon hearing this, all the lords were secretly alarmed.

This is practically a perfect all-rounder, with absolutely no flaws.

It can withstand heavy blows, has excellent movement skills, and can also set up formations.

“Your Hunyuan Formation Dao and my Hunyuan Rule Operation Dao originate from the same source, and although they are different paths, they lead to the same goal.” Yuan seemed to have realized something at this moment.

He was also skilled in formations; it was his formations that amplified the lords' power several times over, enabling only seven lords to defeat the combined forces of more than seventy ancestors.

Without the Yuan, the cultivators would have been defeated long ago.

“Your path has a core from the beginning, and it eventually transforms, while my path lacks a core.” Yuan Xinxin finally understood.

This is the direction he should truly improve in the future, rather than continuing to incorporate more ultimate methods.

Of course, once you have the core, integrating more ultimate Dao will make Yuan's Dao continue to grow stronger.

"Brother Elder could study the origin of the Source World and form a core similar to that origin," Zhou Yu suggested.

Upon hearing this, Yuan nodded; it did indeed sound good.

“Now is not the time to talk about these things,” Xingmang said. “Let’s talk about how to deal with the progenitors of the naturally primordial life forms.”

"Of course, we should teach them a lesson big enough." Jin Bing said coldly, "We've been holding back for so long, we must seize this opportunity to deal them a heavy blow. With Brother Xingyou's strength, we are fully capable of doing so."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. If Lord Xingyou was just a newly promoted lord, then their greatest wish might simply be to end the war.

But now?
With the Star Lord's strength, how could the naturally born chaotic beings be content without giving them a huge lesson?

"Everyone, I have a special soul formation that might have a miraculous effect," Zhou Yu suddenly said.

"A soul formation?" The eyes of many lords lit up upon hearing this.

Correct!
The Star Lord is currently the only ultimate soul master in the Infinite Chaos Space. His soul techniques, combined with powerful formations, could indeed become a devastating killing move.

"Haha, I also have some knowledge of the soul realm, so perhaps I can be of some help," Moman said with a smile.

His Hunyuan Wave Dao itself involves some of the mysteries of the soul.

At this moment, everyone quickly discussed and formulated a plan. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu left the place where they first met and quietly headed to the battlefield.

Zhou Yu was indeed very well-rounded at this moment. In terms of concealing his aura and understanding cause and effect, he had also reached an extremely high level. He quietly went there, and the naturally formed chaotic beings did not notice him.
P.S.: That's all for today.
