Chapter 255: Backtracking (End)
Faced with the overwhelming beam of light, the expression on Gu Yun's face finally changed a little.
The opposite energy constructed a semicircular sphere, blocking the ubiquitous beam of light outside.
But soon, Gu Yun realized the strangeness of the beam - this was not the shock wave full of purification power he imagined. The destructive power of the beam itself was not strong, and it was impossible to break through the defensive skills he could use at any time.
Moreover, the sudden beam of light did not seem to be aimed at him.
The energy intensity was very high, even far beyond the pleasure of fighting with him before. He couldn't think of who was using such a huge amount of energy to use a skill that had no lethality at all. This was simply a waste of energy.
Gu Yun put his right hand on the ground, and a black tide swept out. In just a few seconds, the clear black and white covered everything.
Gu Yun "saw" a man in a cloak standing next to him.
The vast beam of light emerged from the long staff in the hands of the cape man.
The cape man naturally noticed the black energy that drowned his ankles, but he had no idea of retreating. He silently recited some kind of spell that Gu Yun had never heard before. As the ceremony progressed, his blood soaked the gray-white cloak.
At first it was the corners of his mouth, then his eyes, and ears. In the end, every pore seemed to be oozing out of his body.
The cape man continued the ceremony without any wavering.
When Gu Yun's attention left the cloaked man and turned to the bizarre building, he finally discovered something unusual.
His premonition was confirmed that these beams were indeed not attacking him. The two energies reached a delicate balance in the building, but everything outside the building was changing rapidly.
To be precise, it is constantly going backwards.
In just a few seconds, Gu Yun witnessed the changes of the year and had no way of knowing how long the time here had been backed.
Maybe it's ten years, or maybe it's backwards for hundreds of years.
He had a vague premonition that when the spell was completed, those forces that did not belong to the cloaked man would completely destroy his body, and even now, the other party seemed to be shaking.
In other words, this person who came from nowhere did not hesitate to bet on everything and also sent him to an unknown time node.
Although Gu Yun can instantly give the last blow to his broken body as long as he is willing, if he really does this, the changed time node may be paused at this moment.
Unlike the time spell he learned from members of the Western Expedition, this magic array located under the building is much more complicated.
What it changes is not a certain person, but uses the entire building as a medium, which truly changes the flow of time.
There seems to be not much time left, since that's the case...
Gu Yun simply stopped focusing on the cloaked man. The black energy extended beyond the magic circle. On the land outside the magic circle, he could feel the changes of the season more clearly.
No, it's not just the season itself that changes.
The land, trees, and mountains unknowingly turned into scorched earth, and the temperature instantly increased by dozens of degrees. As time continued to flow, magma gradually replaced the earth, and the sky was also shrouded in gray smoke and dust. The roar of giant beasts came from the depths of the smoke and dust, and the outlines of their bodies appeared like mountains.
Gu Yun also sensed a building similar to the temple. At the deepest part of the building, there was a monster made of magma and flames, and their current location was above the temple.
He looked at the monster in this way. I don’t know how long he had found some tricks.
The numbers that are constantly regressing appear.
Wherever the beam reaches, those numbers are everywhere and are constantly changing at an astonishing speed.
"I see."
Compared with the previous three-step practice method, this time it took a lot more time, and until now, Gu Yun still has no idea where these numbers come from.
But this did not prevent him from making some modifications to those constantly changing numbers.
Although his thoughts changed, the black energy actively broke the remaining balance.
Seeing this, the cloaked man's expression changed.
He could feel that Gu Yun seemed to have crossed that boundary. At this moment, it was like another hand holding the invisible clock.
"Green is right."
The cape man grinned, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but against the backdrop of the blood that kept gushing out, his face looked extremely ferocious, "Sure enough, you are our biggest obstacle."
Because of this, this ceremony must be completed.
The flowing blood stopped, and the cape man held the long staff with all his strength.
At this moment, this long staff is the only bridge connecting their future!
The airflow lifted the cloak and rolled it into the distance, and the figures under the cloak merged with the ubiquitous stream of light, as if they had never appeared here.
The price of doing so is not just death, but a complete disappearance.
But only in this way can one encounter victory.
The energy of dozens of gods and the time chapters he has studied for hundreds of years are all the arrival of this moment.
And when the ceremony was completed, his unfulfilled wish would come to an end.
The changing numbers stopped.
Gu Yun felt obvious resistance, as if there was some force fighting with him for control of the "clock".
After that, a power competition similar to a wrestler was formed. Only the winner who seized the "clock" could finally determine the direction of time.
Time is both passing by, but it is still. Only the two people involved in this battle can perceive the changes in time.
Those who appear on the other end will no longer have any fear and anxiety.
Gu Yun can't remember how long it took for him to feel like this now - he can't predict the direction of this competition, and he doesn't know who the winning Libra will eventually turn.
There is no thrilling battle, it is as calm as a "arm wrestling" game.
I don’t know how long it took, the first crack appeared in the still white energy. When the crack appeared, the number that had stopped for a long time went forward for a second.
This second was like opening some kind of gap. Although more energy quickly filled the crack, new cracks appeared.
The speed of the numbers progressed gradually began to accelerate, and finally returned to its initial dazzling appearance.
The balance was broken, and Gu Yun realized that the white energy inside became chaotic and turbulent.
In a stalemate, the invisible chains from the energies of different gods were broken. They were constantly split from a whole as if they were given life. After the gap appeared, the cloaked man could no longer suppress the energy that was constantly separated.
"pity."
Gu Yun did not have the ecstasy of victory in his heart. The energy from the gods was finally snatched. If his opponent had more time to adapt to this external energy, the Libra of the victory or defeat would probably be difficult for him to fall.
Merlin.
He silently recited these two words in his heart.
Then, he held the "clock" firmly in his hand.
The black energy overwhelmed everything, and Gu Yun felt as if he was standing in a pitch-black space.
He looked at the "clock" in his hand carefully, and the numbers on it moved forward rapidly under the drive of his thoughts.
Go back.
“Wait a little longer.”
The flowing numbers suddenly stopped.
Someone held Gu Yun's right hand, and the touch on the back of his hand was very gentle compared to the previous competition.
"Don't go back so soon."
Such a whisper came from Gu Yun's ear.
The pupils that caught my eyes were as beautiful as rubies. The beautiful woman I had never seen before gently grasped his right hand, which felt both strange but also familiar.
