Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 98 Annihilating the Demon Race: Three Emperors and Six Tribulation Realm Rules

Beyond the Cangyuan Realm.

The space was pitch black, with only scattered rays of light shining from afar.

Swish!
One of Zhou Yu's primordial spirit clones left the Cangyuan Realm and appeared here.

As a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm, Zhou Yu's Nascent Soul clone was already able to completely detach from his physical body and roam beyond the realm.

Zhou Yu accelerated along the spatial fluctuations.

After a few breaths, everything in front of him suddenly changed.

This is a vast river, and the water droplets in the river are composed of countless stars and countless worlds of life. The Cangyuan Realm and the Demon Clan World are just one of these water droplets.

The appearance of a world passage between two worlds is like the collision of two drops of water in the river of time and space.

Larger than ordinary stars and the world of life are the suns and the life forms that have entered the river of time and space.

The more powerful a life form is, the larger its size will appear when it enters the river of time and space, and the clearer the entire river's appearance will be.

Venerable level beings are insignificant, mere fry. They can only see a few feet away in the River of Time and Space, and it's already considered good if they can see a few stars and life worlds at a glance.

Even the Emperor is nothing special; he cannot see the true face of the River of Time.

Only those at the ordinary Tribulation Realm can barely see some things clearly.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was at the Fifth Tribulation Realm, entered the River of Time and Space, and what he saw were real rivers, rivers composed of countless stars and worlds of life.

“Eighteen tributaries.” Zhou Yu looked around.

The river of time and space has a vast number of tributaries, each of which represents a river system. Zhou Yu's body is currently located in a tributary that represents the "Three Bays River System".

“The three emperors of the demon world all have extraterrestrial avatars within the Three Bays River System.” Zhou Yu looked at three locations along this tributary.

As the mastermind behind the invasion of the Cangyuan Realm, Zhou Yu had a deep karmic connection with the three demon emperors, so he could easily sense their location.

"I can kill ordinary demon saints from a distance, but to kill these three emperors, it's safer to rely on their extraterrestrial avatars," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

For any living being, its clones are the beings with the heaviest karmic ties to itself.

Without any protection, any Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator could annihilate all Fourth Tribulation Realm clones by relying on the karma of their clones.

Once Zhou Yu captures their extraterrestrial clones, no matter where the three demon emperors are hiding, they are doomed.

While the protection of the World of Life is powerful, it is not limitless. For example, Zhou Yu, who is at the Fifth Tribulation Realm, may not fear ordinary Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivators with the help of the World of Life's protection, but if a more powerful being were to use their methods, they could easily destroy him.

In the long river of time and space.

Three figures were flying among them.

One of them, with black hair and a single horn, is none other than the "Star Emperor," one of the three great emperors of the demon world in this era.

The three of them were chatting casually at the time.

"Xinghe, you've always been reluctant to go out, so why are you now going to explore that ancient cave with us?"

“When stillness reaches its extreme, movement arises. I have reached a bottleneck in my understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. I hope that this time I can have some opportunities,” said Emperor Xinghe.

In truth, he felt helpless.

He originally didn't want to go out because he wanted to focus on planning things in the Cangyuan Realm.

That was a world that gave birth to a powerful being at the Seventh Tribulation Realm. Ancestor Cangyuan left behind countless treasures for his hometown. Even the slightest benefit they could obtain was many times better than going on an adventure.

But who could have imagined that the Cangyuan Realm, which originally didn't even have an Emperor, would give birth to a Tribulation Realm expert at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit stage?

The primordial spirit world of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm easily enveloped the entire Cangyuan Realm. At this point, they realized that their plan had completely failed.

Even if that Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm expert from the Cangyuan Realm was only at the initial stage, the three emperors might not be their match, let alone the fact that the opponent only needed to protect the Cangyuan Realm and did not need to fight them at all.

"Haha, you should have come out a long time ago. Xinghe, you are good at cause and effect. We need you to guide us in exploring this ancient cave."

“That’s natural, but if we encounter a crisis, we’ll need your help.” Emperor Xinghe smiled.

"."

As the three were talking, a sudden fluctuation came from behind them.

The three of them instinctively turned their heads, only to be met with a huge shock.

In the long river of time behind them, an incomparably majestic figure appeared. It was a figure resembling a black-haired man, and he was incredibly tall.

His eyes were millions of times larger than the sun in the river of time and space. Stars and the world of life seemed as insignificant as grains of sand in front of him.

The long river of time and space is the manifestation of essence, and it is clear that the life essence of this being has reached an incredible level.

"This is probably a powerful expert at the Fifth Tribulation Realm, right?" The three were extremely shocked.

The gap widens as you progress through the Tribulation Realm.

Even those at the First Tribulation Realm or Second Tribulation Realm, who are only slightly stronger than a Perfected Emperor, could be challenged by a powerful Perfected Emperor.

The Third Tribulation Realm is what truly suppresses the Perfected Emperor.

The Fourth Tribulation Realm is much more powerful, but if there are enough Third Tribulation Realm cultivators, they can still deal with the Fourth Tribulation Realm.

However, the Fifth Tribulation Realm represents a qualitative change.

No matter how many people there are at the Fourth Tribulation Realm, they cannot possibly deal with those at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

Only a Fifth Tribulation Realm expert can deal with another Fifth Tribulation Realm expert. A Fifth Tribulation Realm expert is a legendary existence in a galaxy, enough to easily dominate a galaxy.

Of course, the gap between a sixth-tribulation realm expert and a fifth-tribulation realm expert is even greater. In the entire universe, there are only a handful of sixth-tribulation realm experts.

"It's truly fortunate to be able to see a powerful being at the Fifth Tribulation Realm," the three thought to themselves. However, they were quickly stunned, because the majestic being was now looking over at them.

“Emperor Xinghe, the first one.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked at the black-haired, one-horned man among the three, and the next moment he reached out and grabbed him.

Wow!
Time itself seemed to thicken, almost as if it were standing still.

The Slow Rule is one of the rules of the Fifth Tribulation Realm, and it is a branch of the "Present Rule" of the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

Zhou Yu certainly understood what he was truly good at.

Time and space are what he excels at.

Although he had studied causal rules over the past 120 years, he had also been trying to understand time-related rules. Even without profound reference books, Zhou Yu's understanding of the 'slowness rule' in the direction of time was progressing by leaps and bounds, thanks to his accumulation in other worlds.

He easily reached the fourth tribulation realm, and was not far from the fifth tribulation realm.

Wow.

Without any power to resist, Xinghe Emperor was captured by Zhou Yu, who instantly sealed his primordial spirit and all his power, making it impossible for him to commit suicide.

Without saying much, Zhou Yu strode away. As someone who had reached the Fifth Tribulation Realm by relying on the teleportation rule, every step he took in the River of Time and Space allowed him to travel a great distance along with the spatial fluctuations. With just one step, the remaining two Emperors could no longer see Zhou Yu's shadow in the River of Time and Space.

"This"

The two exchanged a glance before realizing what had happened.

"They didn't arrest the two of us, only Xinghe. It seems that this Fifth Tribulation Realm expert came for him. Could it be that he offended that expert?" one of them guessed in disbelief.

"To offend a Fifth Tribulation Realm expert takes skill; Xinghe is probably doomed," another person sighed.

"I think we need to find a new partner."

"Well, let's go back first and discuss this further."

"."

After a brief discussion, the two decided to switch partners. They had no choice; even if Emperor Xinghe hadn't died, they dared not cooperate with him again, for fear of being implicated.

. . .

After about ten breaths, Zhou Yu captured Xuan Yue Niangniang, the second emperor of the demon race, on a trading star in the Sanwan River System.

After that, he traveled through the River of Time again to capture the last demon emperor, Peng Huang.

Peng Huang is also the strongest among the three emperors, having reached the perfect level of an emperor.

Zhou Yu found Peng Huang's extraterrestrial avatar on an ordinary star.

To Zhou Yu's surprise, when he arrived, Peng Huang was undergoing tribulation.

call!call!call!
The pitch-black flames burned on the Peng Emperor's body. The flames were incredibly terrifying, with a temperature comparable to the core divine fire of the sun and stars, and also carrying a trace of destructive intent.

However, the Roc King's physical body was also remarkable, managing to withstand the flames without sustaining significant damage.

When the flames disappeared, the Peng Emperor's aura also changed, and he truly stepped into the Tribulation Realm.

"My physical body has strengthened by about 50%. As expected, at only the First Tribulation Realm, the increase in strength is not significant." Peng Huang sensed the condition of his physical body.

"However, the tribulation of the first tribulation realm was quite easy. Reaching the second tribulation realm should be no problem, and the chances of reaching the third tribulation realm are also very high." A smile appeared on Peng Huang's face.

In fact, according to Peng Huang's original idea, he wanted to accumulate more experience before entering the Tribulation Realm, but the appearance of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm in the Cangyuan Realm gave him a bad feeling, so after preparing for more than a hundred years, he triggered the Physical Tribulation ahead of schedule.

Of course, Peng Huang was not reckless.

Although no Seventh Tribulation Realm expert has ever appeared in the history of the demon race, several Sixth Tribulation Realm experts have emerged, which has resulted in a very complete cultivation system for the demon race.

This makes the chances of a demon emperor entering the Tribulation Realm much higher than those of some wild emperors.

Sure enough, the tribulation at the first stage of the tribulation realm was of no use to him at all.

"I will seize the opportunity and undergo the second physical tribulation in one fell swoop," Peng Huang thought to himself. But at this moment, a black-haired figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"you are?"

Peng Huang was startled, but then he felt dizzy and his primordial spirit and physical body were sealed in an instant, and he was thrown into a cave-heaven-like tribulation realm treasure.

"The Roc Emperor?"

"Xuan Yue? Xing He?"

Only then did the three demon emperors realize that they had all been captured.

"They're arresting all three of us at the same time, targeting our demon race. When has our demon race ever offended such a powerful being?" The three members of the Peng Emperor's group racked their brains trying to figure it out.

At this moment, Zhou Yu also entered this primordial spirit world.

"Are you Zhou Yu from the Cangyuan Realm?"

After seeing Zhou Yu's appearance clearly, the three of them were stunned, their hearts filled with disbelief.

“It’s me. Now you know why you were arrested, right? You invaded the Cangyuan Realm for your own selfish reasons. You deserve to die!” Zhou Yu walked over.

"No, impossible! How long have you been at the Tribulation Realm?" Emperor Xinghe couldn't believe it.

“Nothing is impossible.” Zhou Yu waved his hand, and an invisible force immediately enveloped Emperor Xinghe and Lady Xuanyue. As their extraterrestrial avatars were destroyed, the force also spread along the causal path to their physical bodies in the demon world.

"No!"

Both of their avatars left in the demon world showed expressions of terror, but were immediately annihilated into dust by the power that came from afar. "Zhou Yu, no, senior, let's talk this out, I'm willing to submit." Peng Huang saw that Zhou Yu hadn't killed him, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

But Zhou Yu didn't say anything. Instead, he took out some treasures and started arranging them.

Peng Huang had, after all, reached the Tribulation Realm. Although the gap between the First Tribulation Realm and the Perfect Emperor Realm was not large, Zhou Yu still planned to make more arrangements just in case.

"It's over."

At this moment, Peng Huang realized that he was completely finished.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have been greedy for Ancestor Cangyuan's treasures in the first place." Peng Huang felt a pang of regret at this moment, but it was too late. As Zhou Yu finished his preparations, he swung his palm backward.

Both of Peng Huang's avatars were annihilated.

Within the Cangyuan Realm.

"The three Demon Emperors are dead." Zhou Yu, in his true form, relayed the news to the Venerables of the Cangyuan Realm.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a pang of emotion.

Within half an hour of Zhou Yu summoning them, all three great emperors of the demon race had died.

"Next up are the Demon Saints. I've already gathered a lot of information about them through the Demon Kings who previously invaded our Cangyuan Realm. I'll be making my move soon," Zhou Yu said.
"Go get ready."

With his primordial spirit realm, he could view all the memories of the demon kings with a single thought, and naturally he had an understanding of the demon saints of the entire demon world.

"Understood." Everyone nodded in agreement.

The world of demons.

At this time, many demon saints gathered near the Peng Emperor's cave. They finally received a telepathic message from the Peng Emperor and learned everything.

"The Cangyuan Realm has produced a powerful expert at the Fifth Tribulation Realm, who actually annihilated three Emperors across the Life World." These demon saints were shocked and inexplicably terrified. They understood that unless a powerful expert of the same level was born in the demon world, the demon world would have to remain in hiding for the time Zhou Yu was alive.

These demon saints are already in danger when they go to the outer realms, and now it is probably even more dangerous for them.

However, without venturing beyond the realms, it would be difficult to even become an Emperor by relying solely on arduous cultivation within one's home world, let alone reach the Tribulation Realm!

Fortunately, the lifespan of a powerful being is limited. With the foundation of the demon world, although they may be suppressed for a time, they will eventually rise again.

However, just as these demon saints were thinking, suddenly, a black knife appeared in the void.

The knife was ethereal and invisible, piercing the brow of a demon saint without a sound.

pat!

The demon saint's primordial spirit turned to dust, and his physical body collapsed there.

"The White-Haunted Demon Saint?"

The demon saints around them were all somewhat astonished as they watched this scene.

Before they could think any further, another series of attacks appeared in the void.

One by one, the demon saints fell down.

This day was destined to be a nightmare for the demon world.

The demon saints who remained in the demon world first learned of the deaths of the three great emperors, and then one by one, they were killed.
The elite forces of the demon race world have completely disappeared.

Of course, given the foundation of the demon world, they might have a chance to rise again one day, but that would be a long time from now.

. . . . . .

Within the "Jiaoyue River System," which is extremely far from the Sanwan River System.

Zhou Yu's other avatar was quietly comprehending the truth on a lunar star.

Suddenly, he looked up into the void and saw a young man in a white robe appear there.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu also got up from the moon.

"Brother Qianyu, it's been a long time." The white-robed man smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

“Brother Dongting.” Zhou Yu nodded.

The Lord of Dongting Star is the owner of the Dongting Star where Zhou Yu once lived for hundreds of years, and is also a powerful expert at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

After Zhou Yu acquired the strength of the Fifth Tribulation Realm, he purchased a large number of unique martial arts manuals on Dongting Star, which also attracted the attention of the Dongting Star Lord.

He was somewhat surprised to discover that Zhou Yu was an unfamiliar Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator, but he wasn't too surprised. Although Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivators are rare, there is one in each galaxy on average, so it's normal for an unfamiliar Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator to appear.

At this level, conflicts rarely arise unless there are significant interests at stake. Under the deliberate efforts of the Eastern Pavilion Star Lord to befriend them, the two got along quite well.

In fact, with Zhou Yu's current travel ability, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to return from the Bright Moon River System to the Three Bays River System.

However, since he had obtained a treasure from the deceased Six Tribulation Realm expert "Dong Youmo" and promised to help him deal with the Demon Cloud Devouring Flood Dragon, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to leave.

Zhou Yu estimated that reaching the Sixth Tribulation Realm wouldn't be too difficult for him.

His talent, "super thinking," might only make cultivation faster in other worlds, without fundamentally changing anything.

But in this world, it's abnormal. With a limited lifespan, the speed of thought increases a hundredfold, which is simply a cheat code.

Of course, the key is that Zhou Yu's talent and comprehension are high enough at this time. If his comprehension is not high enough, no matter how fast his thinking speed is, it will be useless.

Having sufficient talent and quick comprehension, along with a fast thinking speed, complement each other, is what leads to a qualitative change.

The key point is that Zhou Yu's accumulation in other worlds is also deep enough. While it may not be able to help him reach the Seventh Tribulation Realm, it will definitely help him reach the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

With all these advantages, Zhou Yu really didn't believe he couldn't reach the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

"Others complain about not having enough time, but I complain about having too much," Zhou Yu sighed.

Once the conditions for undergoing the tribulation in the Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm are met, it cannot be delayed. However, the tribulation becomes increasingly dangerous, requiring sufficient accumulation of knowledge and experience to make the process much safer.

If you master the rules too quickly, you will accumulate less in terms of mental will and spiritual wisdom, which is not a good thing.

This is why, even though Zhou Yuming knew his talent lay in time and space, he still tried to comprehend causal rules.

He has more time than he can possibly use up in a short period of time.

Understanding other rules can significantly enhance his accumulated knowledge.

"Brother Dongting, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Zhou Yu asked, looking at the other man.

"I wonder if Brother Qianyu is interested in the cave dwelling of a Seven Tribulation Realm expert?" Dongting Star Lord asked with a smile.

"The cave dwelling of a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

"I have already invited three other Fifth Tribulation Realm experts, all of whom are close friends of mine," explained the Star Lord of Dongting.

"With you, Brother Qianyu, making a total of five people, we are confident that we can give it a shot."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment, but he quickly shook his head.

“Brother Qianyu, are you worried about safety? Let’s make a vow together before we set off,” said the Star Lord of Dongting Star.

The oath is related to the future tribulation and has a great binding force on the tribulation realm. So even though he hadn't known Zhou Yu for very long, the East Pavilion Star Lord dared to invite him to go together.

“Brother Dongting, there’s no need to say more. I’m not worried about safety; it’s just that my mind isn’t on taking risks right now,” Zhou Yu said.

First, he genuinely has no desire for adventurous exploration right now. Second, his fifth primordial spirit tribulation is not far off, and he still needs to prepare for the tribulation, so naturally he cannot take any risks, since no one knows how long this exploration will take.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dongting Star offered a few more words of persuasion. Seeing Zhou Yu's resolute attitude, he knew that Zhou Yu truly did not want to go.

"Alright, then I won't bother Brother Qianyu any longer." Lord Dongting didn't say anything more and quickly left.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu's fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit arrived as scheduled.

The previous tribulations of the primordial spirit were quite ordinary, but the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit was suddenly much more difficult. The moment the tribulation of the primordial spirit arrived, Zhou Yu lost all senses except for touch, and then endless pain descended upon him.

Pain is the most direct way to test one's will and spirit.

Among the recorded Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit, this is a relatively common tribulation. However, common does not mean simple. Extreme pain, exceeding the pain one can endure, can truly drive one to the brink of collapse.

Not to mention, in Zhou Yu's perception, he had endured that terrible pain for tens of millions of years.

"However, I eventually got through it." Zhou Yu quickly regained consciousness from the tribulation of his primordial spirit.

"This primordial spirit tribulation isn't too difficult for me. Looking at it this way, I'm confident I can handle the sixth tribulation primordial spirit tribulation now." Zhou Yu was also pondering.

He hadn't dared to fully comprehend the rules of time direction before, fearing that if he suddenly mastered a sixth-tribulation realm rule, he wouldn't be able to overcome the primordial spirit tribulation of the sixth-tribulation realm.

However, after experiencing the difficulty of the fifth tribulation realm's primordial spirit tribulation, Zhou Yu understood that he was confident he could handle the sixth tribulation realm's primordial spirit tribulation.

"But with my current mental fortitude, even the Seventh Tribulation Realm Nascent Soul Tribulation will be difficult." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it.

He's far from reaching the Seventh Tribulation Realm; there's no chance he'll break through in the short term.

"Begin to fully comprehend the rules of slowness."

After Zhou Yu survived his fifth primordial spirit tribulation, he immediately began to focus on comprehending the "slow rule".

He had only studied this rule in the gaps between comprehending the "rules of cause and effect," but unknowingly he had comprehended it to the level of the Fourth Tribulation Realm.

Now, by focusing all one's efforts on comprehending it, one can immediately make rapid progress.

In the blink of an eye, eighty years have passed.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was walking on the surface of that Taiyin star. Every step he took caused ripples. Some naturally formed natural disasters around him were affected by an invisible force and completely stopped.

“When slowness reaches its extreme, time stands still.” Zhou Yu understood that his slowness rule had reached the level of the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

The rules of the Fifth Tribulation Realm, which contain the mysteries of time, are few and far between. Only pure time-related rules have the potential to achieve this.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yu looked at the void in front of him. In his eyes, the spatial lines and spatial waves represented the teleportation rules he had mastered, and there were also some invisible fluctuations that represented the slowing rules.

At this moment, these spatial lines and spatial fluctuations also silently merged with those invisible fluctuations.

Centered on Zhou Yu, a domain silently expanded outwards, instantly covering the void for billions of miles around.

"Spacetime domain rules?"

Zhou Yu was surprised; this was undoubtedly a rule of the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

"For the rules of the Fifth Tribulation Realm to be integrated into the rules of the Sixth Tribulation Realm, three rules are generally required. However, some rules that are not compatible may not even be enough."

"But there are exceptions. Sometimes, pure time rules and space rules can be achieved with just two."

Zhou Yu understood that this was not a miracle. Although such a situation was rare, it did happen in the long river of time.

He just never expected that he would encounter such an accident.

"He mastered the rules of the Six Tribulations Realm faster than I expected," Zhou Yu thought to himself.
