Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 93 The News Spreads and the Lord of the Universe Appears
Whoosh!
A palace with dragon-shaped patterns on its surface sped through the abyss of the Black Prison.

Behind it, a black shuttle was in hot pursuit, but the two were about the same speed, and the black shuttle could not catch up for a while.

Inside the palace, Venerable Mofeng, Venerable Jiujian, Venerable Chiyan, Lord Yunfeng, and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

The ruler of Yunfeng Kingdom, in particular, was extremely fortunate.

This time, he fell into the trap set by the Five Lights Venerable of the Demon Clan. The others might be able to escape, but he was the only one. Almost all the eyes of the Demon Clan were on him, and he was almost certainly doomed.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu intervened at the crucial moment.

"Domain Realm, we really owe you a lot this time." King Yunfeng looked at Zhou Yu with deep gratitude.

Just now, Zhou Yu first used a secret technique to fight against the domain of the demon race venerable, and then took out a top-tier palace treasure, giving them an escape ability no less than that of the opponent.

Even though both are at near-light speed, there are differences in speed. For example, Venerable Mofeng's flying palace treasure is faster than Venerable Yuzhou's physical flight, while the Nightmare Emperor has a top-tier palace treasure that allows him to fly even faster.

Even more terrifying is that the Nightmare Emperor also possesses a sealing treasure called "Black Star," which can completely seal away the important treasures of the palace.

They would have had a hard time escaping, but fortunately Zhou Yu also took out a top-tier palace treasure, which allowed him to escape with them.

“Since we came here together, I naturally can’t just watch you get killed.” Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

The palace he took out was actually the "Nine Dragons Palace," a high-grade treasure he had previously exchanged for in the human race's treasury. This treasure was close to a top-tier palace treasure, costing Zhou Yu a full 800 treasure points, almost enough to exchange for an ordinary peak treasure.

However, Zhou Yu did not fully activate this treasure at this moment, making it appear as a top-tier palace treasure.

"Yunfeng, no matter what, you were too careless. You fell for their scheme so easily." Venerable Mofeng and the others were quite dissatisfied.

"I was blinded by the treasure. Once we escape, I will repay you all with the benefits I promised." King Yunfeng sighed.

"That's pretty much it."

Crimson Flame Venerable nodded.

While the humans were talking, the demon race's venerable ones were also discussing things in the black shuttle behind them.

"These humans happen to possess a top-tier palace treasure, and it seems to be not much inferior to the Nightmare Emperor's 'Black Cloud Shuttle'." A demon venerable couldn't help but frown at this moment.

"Wu Guang, you should prepare for failure," a demon clan venerable also spoke up.

"No matter what, we can't let them leave so easily. I'll send someone else to intercept them," said Venerable Five Lights.

"Hire someone else?"

Many demon lords were stunned. Intercepting the top palace treasure ahead was no easy task. The Five Lights Venerable had invited the Nightmare Emperor, but could he afford to invite other overlord-level beings?
While the other Venerables were puzzled, the Nightmare Emperor's voice suddenly rang in the mind of the Five Lights Venerable.

"Wu Guang, you noticed, didn't you? The identity of that human?" the Nightmare Emperor said calmly.

"Nightmare Emperor, you mean...?"

"Hmph, stop playing dumb. Yunfeng, Chiyan, Mofeng, and Jiujian are all easily recognizable. But who is the last one?" the Nightmare Emperor said.
"You think I really didn't notice at all?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Five Lights knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He said, "I'm not entirely sure either. But when that unfamiliar Venerable made his move, some of his divine power leaked out. In addition, the moves he used when fighting against my domain looked familiar, very much like the methods used when my Black Feather King was killed. So I speculate that this person might be the Domain King of the Human Race!"

"It really was him! The Zerg sent Venerable Guiyin to assassinate this Domain King, but he failed. Rumors are circulating in the universe that he possesses a high-grade soul treasure." A hint of greed flashed in the Nightmare Emperor's eyes.

It's a high-level soul treasure, even rarer than a high-level palace treasure. Many universe lords don't even possess such a treasure.

One high-level soul treasure is equivalent to at least one or two hundred ordinary treasures. What an enormous fortune that is!
"This person is most likely the Domain King," the Nightmare Emperor said.
“During the fight just now, he withstood my attack with his bare body without getting hurt. The armor he was wearing was obviously a treasure, and not an ordinary one. In addition, there are very few humans who can produce such treasures as this top-tier flying palace.”

"Even the Nightmare Emperor says so, then it seems to be true." Venerable Five Lights sighed inwardly. He had originally intended to secretly contact the experts of his own clan, but he did not expect that the Nightmare Emperor would also notice.

"Who are you planning to contact?" the Nightmare Emperor asked again.

“Our clan’s two overlords, Xinghua and Youfeng,” said Venerable Wuguang.

"Xinghua possesses top-tier domain treasures, which, combined with my sealing treasure 'Black Star,' have a real chance of suppressing him. As for Youfeng, sending him is just a waste of time," the Nightmare Emperor said calmly.
"Wu Guang, you should understand that you can find people, and so can I, but there are only so many treasures. How can we divide them if there are too many people?"

“I understand, of course.” Venerable Wuguang said no more.

The demon race is also divided into eighteen royal families. He originally thought that the benefits would only be absorbed within his own lineage, but since the Nightmare Emperor has noticed, there is nothing he can do.

After the Nightmare Emperor and the Five Lights Venerable reached an agreement, the two secretly began to plan how to deal with Zhou Yu once reinforcements arrived.

However, to their surprise, things took an unexpected turn in just a few days.

"What? One of the human Venerables we're chasing is a Domain King?"

"Really? Where did you get this news?"

“Absolutely true. The news has already spread. You can find out by asking around. And it was definitely one of us who spread the news. The news even states exactly where we are in the Black Prison Abyss.”

The other Venerables of the Demon Clan were initially stunned, but then they suddenly realized why Venerable Five Lights had gone to such lengths to find other helpers.
Just to hunt down the King of Yunfeng? Is it really necessary?

But what if it's for that Realm King who possesses a high-level soul treasure and many other treasures? No, he should already be a Realm Venerable by now.

"Five Lights, is that you?"

The Nightmare Emperor suddenly let out a low shout. He stared at the Five Lights Venerable and said coldly, "I only stopped you from summoning You Feng, and you've already spread the news so widely? You want to fight me to the death?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Five Lights panicked and hurriedly said, "Nightmare Emperor, why would I do this? Besides, I'm not the only one who knows our current location; Rhinoceros Light and the others know it too."

These words enraged the other Venerables of the Demon Clan.

"Wu Guang, so you already knew that he was a Venerable of the Human Realm? We came to help you out of kindness, and you kept such a big thing from us, but now you're trying to pin the blame on us?"

"You scoundrel, I really misjudged you."

"."

After being berated by the other Venerables, Venerable Five Lights regained his senses. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Maybe it was leaked by the human race. Think about it carefully. This Domain Venerable is incredibly wealthy. Aren't there people within the human race who are envious of his wealth? Maybe they deliberately spread the news to fish in troubled waters."

"Alright, there's no point in saying all this now," the Nightmare Emperor sneered.

"No matter who spread the news, it's already out in the open, so we have to act quickly. Once Xinghua arrives, we'll take action immediately."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Five Lights had no choice but to nod.

"And you few, you can leave now." The Nightmare Emperor then looked at the other demon clan venerables.

The group was naturally unwilling to leave just like that, but in the end, under the coercion of the Nightmare Emperor's gaze, they obediently left the Black Cloud Shuttle.

"Hmph, they want to hog all the spoils? It's not that simple." The departing demon lords all snorted coldly and began to contact their own men.

the other side--

Inside Zhou Yu's Nine Dragons Palace, the human venerables also quickly received the message from their clan.

“Zhou Yu, it’s now certain that news of your presence in the Black Prison Abyss has spread,” Venerable Mo Feng said in a deep voice.

"I've heard about it too, and it's spread quite widely. It's not just the human race, but also the demon race, the insect race, the machine race, and even other races in the universe." Zhou Yu said with a sigh.

"The Black Prison Abyss is very special. It's hard for powerful alien races not to have designs on you once they know you're here in the Realm of the Domain," Lord Yunfeng reminded them.

Normally, it would be very difficult to kill a cosmic master.

But this Black Abyss is different.

The reason he was so confident in finding someone to help him hunt down the Five Lights Venerable was because of the environment here.

The Five Lights Venerable deliberately chose the Black Prison Abyss as a place to scheme against him.

Similarly, normally even if the alien powerhouses knew that Zhou Yu had many treasures, they might not have much interest in him. After all, after Zhou Yu broke through to become a Universe Venerable, the success rate of robbing him was not high. But it's different here.

"Only a few of us knew that Zhou Yu had come to the Black Prison Abyss. Who leaked the information?"

Venerable Mofeng snorted coldly. He glanced around at everyone, his gaze lingering on Venerable Chiyan for a moment.

"Mo Feng, do you suspect that I leaked it?" Venerable Crimson Flame was immediately enraged.

"Mo Feng didn't say it was you, Chi Yan, why are you so agitated?" King Yun Feng shook his head.

In fact, he also had some doubts about Venerable Crimson Flame. Although Venerable Crimson Flame's attitude towards Zhou Yu was very subtle, they could all sense it.

“Perhaps the demon race has discovered my identity,” Zhou Yu said at this moment. “In any case, what’s done is done, and there’s no use thinking about it anymore.”

"Domain Realm, what do you plan to do?" Lord Yunfeng asked.

"Haha, you want to kill me and steal my treasure? Not so easy. I naturally have a way to deal with it," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, feeling that Zhou Yu was being overconfident.

“Lord of the Realm, since you’re so confident, then send me out. I don’t want to be hunted down with you,” Lord Crimson Flame suddenly said.

Zhou Yu nodded; it was indeed a wise choice.

So he simply sent the Crimson Flame Venerable out of the Nine Dragons Palace with a thought.

At this moment, although Venerable Five Lights and Nightmare Emperor, who were hot on their heels, had spotted Venerable Crimson Flame, they could not afford to stop and waste time to deal with him.

"Hmph, I hope you really can escape." Venerable Crimson Flame sneered, and then quickly left the spot.

Inside the Nine Dragons Palace, Zhou Yu asked Venerable Mo Feng and the others if they wanted to leave. Even if it was the Lord of Yunfeng Kingdom, leaving now shouldn't pose too much of a risk.

Zhou Yu's appeal is definitely greater than that of the Lord of Yunfeng Kingdom. Moreover, even if Venerable Wuguang were willing to continue hunting down the Lord of Yunfeng Kingdom, the Nightmare Emperor would not agree.

However, the Lord of Yunfeng and his companions were not in a hurry to leave, whether out of personal relationships or out of consideration for face, as it would be inappropriate to leave just like that.

Only Venerable Crimson Flame could remain indifferent and simply leave.

Zhou Yu didn't say much about the group's decision to stay, since their safety was guaranteed inside the Nine Dragons Palace, a treasure of a high-level palace.

. . .

As Zhou Yu said, this news spread not only among humans and demons, but also among insectoids, machine races, and even other races in the universe.

Of course, the message mainly spread within the four top races. Many other races in the universe are quite remote, so the message spread very slowly.

As the news spread, teams of powerful individuals quickly rushed towards the Black Prison Abyss.

They didn't want to miss this perfect opportunity with all the right timing, location, and people.

Meanwhile, on the human side, a powerful figure quickly reported the news to the human universe lord, since it might involve a high-level soul treasure, and its loss would be a huge loss.

However, the human universe rulers all knew Zhou Yu's true strength, so they naturally didn't care about this news.

Time flies, and almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The demon race's Star Venerable finally arrived. He used his top-tier domain treasure, the 'Star Stream Mirror,' to form a domain that hindered Zhou Yu's Nine Dragons Palace speed, intending to coordinate with the Nightmare Emperor behind him to suppress Zhou Yu's palace.

But at the critical moment, the power unleashed by the Nine Dragons Palace suddenly surged, and it managed to escape despite the Starflower Venerable's domain.

"He must have burned his divine body; he can't hold on for long. Chase him!" Venerable Xinghua and the Nightmare Emperor naturally wouldn't give up easily. However, at this moment, Venerable Mofeng and the others inside the Nine Dragons Palace naturally knew that Zhou Yu hadn't burned his divine body, so they forcefully urged the Nine Dragons Palace to rush out.

"Zhou Yu, could it be that the treasures in your palace are supreme treasures?" Venerable Mo Feng couldn't help but ask.

“It is a supreme treasure.” Zhou Yu smiled.

"A supreme treasure? Or a palace-type treasure?"

The three were shocked. It was still just a legend that Zhou Yu possessed a high-level soul treasure. Although all the facts suggested that it was very likely true, no one had ever seen it before.

But they actually stayed in this palace treasure for almost a year.

"I heard that the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan is powerful enough to roam the universe with the 'Heavenly Wolf Palace,' a high-level palace treasure. And now, I'm actually inside another high-level palace treasure?" The Nine Swords Venerable was somewhat incredulous.

"That's not right. If it were a treasure from a high-level palace, it should have already shaken off the Nightmare Emperor and Wu Guang, right?" King Yunfeng suddenly asked.

“Of course I deliberately let them follow me,” Zhou Yu said. The three of them were stunned for a moment, but they also realized that things were not so simple.

"Could it be that you were the one spreading the news?" Nine Swords Venerable suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's me." Zhou Yu admitted directly at this moment. He said, "You three don't need to ask any more questions. You'll know when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, the three could only nod. They were all curious about what could have driven Zhou Yu to such madness.
Not long after Venerable Xinghua arrived, he encountered a second group.

This is also a team from the demon race, composed of three cosmic overlords.

Although they couldn't pinpoint Zhou Yu's location as precisely as the Nightmare Emperor and others, they could still determine his approximate location based on the information relayed by the Venerables who had been expelled by the Nightmare Emperor.

They were already within hundreds of millions of kilometers of each other when the Nightmare Emperor and his companion made their move, causing a disturbance that brought them to the scene quickly.

This second team, naturally, was also no match for the Nine Dragons Palace.

However, although they couldn't do anything about it for the time being, they also believed that Zhou Yu had burned his divine power and certainly couldn't keep going indefinitely.

Then a third team arrived; this was a team from the Machine Race, and they were just lucky.

After entering the Black Prison Abyss, they proceeded by instinct. They had been nearby when the two demon clans fought, which was why they were able to arrive in time.

"Is that Venerable Tianyang?" Zhou Yu noticed a bald figure with eight arms in the mechanical race, and a pair of black wings on his back.

"One-sixth of the Chaos Golden Wings is on him," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

This is really an unexpected bonus.

However, Zhou Yu didn't rush to do anything, but continued to control the Nine Dragons Palace to escape.

As time went on, Zhou Yu kept encountering groups of powerful individuals, and his constant escapes made some people realize that something was amiss.

Teams like Nightmare Emperor and Venerable Starflower learned from their previous failure after catching up with Zhou Yu for the second time. They immediately burned their divine bodies to activate their treasures without hesitation, but Zhou Yu still managed to escape.

"Could the treasures in his palace be supreme treasures?" The Nightmare Emperor wondered.

"It may not be a supreme treasure, but perhaps a palace that comes close to one," Venerable Xinghua said.
"We underestimated this Realm Venerable. Why don't we join forces with Qu Hu and the others?"

"it is good!"

After thinking it over, the Nightmare Emperor agreed. This way, they would have five overlord-level beings, and he was sure they could stop the enemy.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past month, Zhou Yu encountered a total of nineteen teams, some of which were composed of several cosmic overlords, and others were composed of a large number of high-level cosmic venerables.

"A month is enough time for the teams in the vicinity to arrive," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Although he proactively relayed the message to the outside world, he would never intentionally reveal his own location; that would be too obvious, and anyone with a brain could sense that something was wrong.

Therefore, of the many cosmic venerables who entered the Black Prison Abyss, only a portion happened to be nearby at this moment, and a month was enough time for these nearby venerables to arrive.

Zhou Yu has managed to escape from the encirclement time and time again. If this drags on for too long, some of the stronger individuals might give up soon. Zhou Yu doesn't want all the people he's worked so hard to attract to run away.

While Zhou Yu was thinking, a figure wearing golden armor was flying rapidly from a great distance away from the Nine Dragons Palace.

Unlike other powerful individuals who came in teams, this powerful individual came alone.

"Finally I found him."

The golden-armored figure suddenly had a thought—

Boom!

The surrounding endless space and time instantly became incredibly heavy, and the Nine Dragons Palace's flight speed immediately slowed down.

"Is this...manipulation of time and space?"

"It is the Lord of the Universe!!"

Inside the Nine Dragons Palace, the expressions of Venerable Mo Feng and the other two changed instantly.

They instantly realized that Zhou Yu had gone too far; this time, he had not only attracted a bunch of cosmic venerables, but also a cosmic lord.

The key point is that it's difficult to seek help from this dark abyss.

Even if the Lord of Chaos City were to arrive, it would take him quite some time.

"Lord of the Universe?"

"Lord of the Universe!!"

The other pursuing teams instinctively stopped. The gap between ordinary Universe Venerables and Universe Lords was too great. Even Universe Overlords were no match for Universe Lords.

At this moment, the only one who remained relatively calm was Zhou Yu.

"I even caught a big fish." Zhou Yu thought to himself, and a thought popped into his head.

Swish!
A towering figure, approximately a thousand kilometers tall, first appeared inside the Nine Dragons Palace, and then suddenly appeared outside.

Boom!

In an instant, the spacetime that was originally controlled by the golden armored figure began to shake.

"What? There's another universe master?"

"It's the Seven Star Lord who just joined the Hong Alliance!!"

"."

Among the cosmic venerables who were chasing Zhou Yu, some recognized the identity of that towering figure, and at the same time, a chill suddenly arose in their hearts.

The Seven Star Lords clearly came from the treasure in that palace, which means they have been hunting down a Universe Lord all this time.
At this moment, the golden armored figure that had been hurtling towards them stopped. He looked at Zhou Yu's gourd clone, which was thousands of kilometers tall, and his heart trembled slightly.

For the ruler of the universe, being a thousand kilometers high is already quite impressive.

Even if this golden armored figure reveals its full divine form, it is only about a hundred kilometers away.

"Lord of the Seven Stars? You're shameless enough to keep following a mere Cosmic Venerable?" the golden-armored figure said coldly.

"It's just one of my clones," Zhou Yu's Seven Star Clone said with a faint smile.
"Besides, no matter how shameless I am, I'm still better than you, the Lord of the Universe, robbing a mere Universe Venerable, right?"

"Moreover, you dare to do it but not dare to admit it? Do you dare to reveal your identity?" Zhou Yu's seven-star clone sneered.

The figure in the golden armor had clearly concealed his identity, to the point that Zhou Yu couldn't recognize him.

Any universe master has a great reputation. Unless it is a breakthrough like Zhou Yu's ordinary avatar who has been hiding, it is impossible not to recognize them.

The only reason someone wouldn't recognize them is that they've hidden their identity.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." The golden-armored figure snorted coldly, then turned to leave.

He understood that since the Lord of the Seven Stars was here, he was unlikely to gain anything this time, so he naturally had to retreat.

But at this time—

boom!
A terrifying power suddenly erupted.

"You think you can just leave like that?"

Zhou Yu's seven-star clone let out a low shout and threw a punch.

He didn't use his full strength in this punch, but it contained the ultimate secret technique of the universe master that he created—the Time-Space Tribulation.

The Lord of the Universe can be roughly divided into five levels of strength.

The combination of two thousand times the basic power of the gene level and the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe is enough to achieve the power of a second-tier move.

In an instant, the golden-armored figure's expression changed by three points.

He turned around and unleashed a block, but was blasted away.

"Damn it, don't push me."

The Lord of the Universe roared. He didn't want to use the secret technique, as that would expose his identity. But if he didn't use the secret technique, his clone's genetic level wasn't high enough, so he could only be ravaged.

Zhou Yu didn't say much, and suddenly a black divine sword appeared in the hand of his seven-star clone.

This is a top-tier offensive treasure that he obtained for his Seven Star Avatar.

"Time and space are destroyed!"

With a single slash of his sword, Zhou Yu instantly shattered the surrounding space-time, breaking the terrifying suppression within the Black Prison Abyss.

The sword contained some kind of dark energy, causing the golden armored figure to change color.

Although this move, "Space-Time Annihilation," is also just the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, its power is even greater than the previous move. Not to mention, Zhou Yu also used the top-tier divine sword.

The Lord of the Universe finally had no choice but to make a move. With a single burst of power, an incomparably dazzling golden light erupted from him.
"A fight started?"

The cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords watching this scene from afar were all overjoyed.

They had realized that since the Lord of the Seven Stars had appeared from the temple of the "Lord of the Realm," this whole affair was most likely a trap.

But now that the Seven Star Lords are fighting with another Universe Lord, their opportunity has naturally arrived.

"Go! Hurry up!"

One by one, the cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords turned away without hesitation, causing Zhou Yu's ordinary human clone, who had been watching them, to shake his head.

"Is it too late to leave now?"

Inside the Nine Dragons Palace, Zhou Yu's ordinary avatar stood up abruptly, much to the astonishment of Venerable Mo Feng and the other two.

Boom!

A vast divine power suddenly erupted.
