this infinite world

The sound of footsteps echoed on the bloody stairs.

Yang Yun walked very steadily, and his steps were unusually steady. If someone looked closely, they would be able to see that every step he took maintained the same distance, and each step took the same amount of time... as if it were the most sophisticated machine, not a single millimeter off.

——However, Yang Yun’s heart was not as calm as he appeared.

ten years.

Although he knew that Chi You must have many secrets that he had not yet understood, the time point he just mentioned made Yang Yun frown. Because if Yang Yun's understanding was correct, it meant that in Chi You's view, the time interval between their two encounters was only a short ten years...

…But how could it be only ten years?

Although it is clear that the speed of time between the planes is completely different, ten years is too short, and it is completely different from Yang Yun's own perception of time. And if Chi You did not lie, then this ten-year time span seems to have a special meaning.

——Is Chiyou's sense of time different from mine? Or is there some other shocking secret? Or maybe...

"My Lord, is it okay?"

Just as Yang Yun was thinking about the deep meaning of Chi You's words, Yan's cautious questioning voice suddenly came from his ear: "Your face looks so ugly..."

"…Nothing, just rehearsing in my mind."

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yun adjusted his mentality and did not voice his doubts: "After all, the enemy I will face next is stronger than Feimian, who is an immortal."

"Indeed, the pressure just now was really terrifying..."

Although the three previous swords, "Sea Breaking", "Landslide", and "Storm", as well as the Mars Comet that just smashed down, had destructive power that did not exceed the fourth level, the overwhelming killing intent behind the moves, and the bloody brilliance that seemed to fill the entire world, made Yan tremble uncontrollably.

"...After all, that was Chi You."

Yang Yun sighed and said with a heavy voice. The bark of the human shadow tree is different from the non-face that is unknown in historical records and obviously became an immortal in later generations. Chi You is a well-known existence in human history textbooks.

"--who?"

But the next moment, Yan's slightly puzzled voice made Yang Yun startled: "My Lord, who were you talking about just now?"

"Chiyou, don't you know him?"

Listening to the question asked by Yan, Yang Yun was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, he called out the other party's name at the beginning.

But in the face of Yang Yun's explanation and popularization of Chi You, Yan only tilted his head in confusion. And Yang Yun seemed to see a big question mark between the two horns on the head of the Fire Kirin girl in front of him: "My Lord, did you say anything just now?" "——Huh?"

If one time is a coincidence, then if the same situation happens two or three times in a row, it is no longer a coincidence, but a necessity. Seeing Yan's performance, Yang Yun suddenly became serious and said very seriously: "I just said Chi You, the leader of Jiuli, who once fought with Emperor Xuanyuan in the battle of Zhuolu. Although he failed in the end, his strength was also earth-shattering-"

"——It's useless. Don't bother explaining it."

While Yang Yun was still trying to explain to Yan, Chi You's voice suddenly came from the front. It was not until this moment that Yang Yun realized that he had unknowingly reached the end of the blood-colored stairs. Along the way, he was immersed in thinking about the hidden information in Chi You's words, and he did not realize that his footsteps had brought him to the end in front of him.

At the end of the stairs, there was a shirtless man who was concentrating on repeatedly hitting the weapon in front of him with a hammer. This man had a strong body with perfect golden ratios, and a sense of power emanated from his body. At this moment, he was using the blazing blood-red Mars in front of him as a furnace, forging swords, spears, and halberds with all his heart and soul... His concentration was as if this was his only hobby.

The man with his back to Yang Yun, who was both the Lord of Arms and the God of War, was Chi You. He turned back at this moment, his eyes piercing through time and space, staring at Yang Yun deeply and complexly, and said slowly: "At this point in time, you should be the only one who can still remember me."

"…Why is that?"

Staring at Chi You's bloodshot eyes, Yang Yun asked again: "What on earth happened to you? And why am I the only one who can correctly recognize your 'real name'?"

"You know that this question cannot be answered, so why do you keep trying again and again? As I said before, if you want to know the truth, use your power to force it out of my mouth."

Chi You sighed softly, then put down the hammer in his hand and slowly stood up. In the process of standing up, his strong and powerful body was gradually covered with a blood-red battle armor.

Unlike the armor that suddenly appeared from the air or was transformed from energy, this blood-colored armor seemed to grow directly from Chi You's skin, blending into Chi You's body and fitting perfectly to every inch of his skin. And an extremely loud hymn filled with blood, killing, pain, fighting spirit, courage and other momentum has never been played so clearly, as if the world is crying -

"Use your power here, use the power that belongs to 'Yang Yun' to let me see whether there is any corresponding meaning for the existence of this era that should have been completely destroyed."

It was much stronger and more shocking than any previous attack, as if the murderous intent that had been buried deep in the man's heart broke out of his body and instantly burned everything around him, whether it was space and time, or matter and energy, turning into the only protagonist between heaven and earth.

"And I abandoned everything and stayed alone in this era that was about to be destroyed. I waited alone for ten years for this final battle. What was it really a hope..."

"...or is it that high and mighty 'Watcher', laughing at my foolish hope in a joke, a piece of evidence belonging to the foolish dream of the remnants of the old era."

"What on earth are you talking about—"

"——Come on, Yang Yun, let's fight."

As the death knell outside the world sounded, the will of the "Lord of War" echoed in the sky.

"Before the bells of the end of the era finally sound." (End of this chapter)
