This intense feeling of longing caused Chu You and Da Vinci, who were standing nearby, to gradually develop misty eyes.

It seems like he's thinking about something... or someone...

More and more red maple leaves are falling from the void, growing denser and denser...

Surrounded by red maple leaves, Li Qingyu, who had been calling out to Colonel Chu, once again felt... Colonel Chu's heartbeat.

Bang...

Bang...bang...

One after another...

Finally, when Li Qingyu called out for the hundredth time, Colonel Chu's heartbeat was crystal clear, as if it were pressed against his chest.

However... it seems that... something is still missing from achieving true spiritual connection between the two...

But it didn't matter. Thinking of the latest effects of the SS-level Zhizi, Li Qingyu continued to call out without being discouraged.

If one hundred times isn't enough... then a thousand times!

A thousand times isn't enough... so I'll do it ten thousand times!

Li Qingyu couldn't help but quicken his calls, not because dinner was approaching, but because he had finally confirmed that Colonel Chu's heartbeat was indeed different from before.

Although still clear, still steady...

But clearly, the heartbeat is now much slower and weaker. Like an old man on his deathbed, quietly awaiting death.

I don't know how many times I called out.

Li Qingyu finally sensed a trace of... Colonel Chu's emotions...

Calm... indifferent...

"Colonel Chu...did you hear me? Colonel Chu?" Li Qingyu quickly tried to communicate.

.........

Just as Li Qingyu was calling out.

The Second Universe, a planetary war preparation space, a magnificent and colorful cosmic void.

Chu Xuan, who was listening to the incessant chatter of the fear demon king Boros, suddenly had a flicker in his calm eyes.

"Hmm? Li Qingyu? I heard you. How did the second match go?"

Hearing Colonel Chu's voice in his mind, Li Qingyu perked up and quickly replied, "Sir, the second match is over, and we won a great victory. Sir, I'll summon you back right away."

Immediately afterward, Li Qingyu had a thought and prepared to activate the summoning skill of Zhizi.

However....

"No need, no need to summon for now," Colonel Chu's voice came again.

This unexpected answer left Li Qingyu somewhat bewildered.

No need... what the heck?!

So, Li Qingyu asked hesitantly, "Boss... is there something you haven't finished doing?"

"Well... I do have something to take care of. Since the second match has gone smoothly, just call me when there are problems with the third match."

Li Qingyu blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

They were desperately trying to rescue Colonel Chu, but Colonel Chu wasn't planning on coming back, which was a bit awkward...

Could it be some little vixen... who's so bewitching that the boss doesn't want to go home?

"Boss, is there something you're having trouble telling us? And what's wrong with your heartbeat? Why is it so weak?"

Li Qingyu's expression turned serious; he had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

"It's an act..." Colonel Chu said calmly.

........

"Well, what do you think of what I said, human race?"

Before Chu Xuan, the fear demon king Boros, who was trying to brainwash Chu Xuan, looked at Chu Xuan's fluctuating eyes and revealed a confident expression.

However, upon seeing Chu Xuan, he remained indifferent and aloof.

Boros is furious!!

"Insignificant humans, even in this state, you still dare to disregard me, Your Majesty. It seems I must teach you a lesson so you won't know what true fear is!"

After roaring, Boros waved his hand.

Instantly, the five void chains that bound Chu Xuan, extending from the five black-purple planets, tightened.

It's as if...

These five dark purple planets were slowly moving, pulling at Chu Xuan's body.

Furthermore, a dark purple flame rapidly spread from the planet's atmosphere up the void chains, quickly engulfing Chu Xuan's entire body.

"Hmph... Feel the pain!"

"Sooner or later, you will kneel and beg me for release!"

Boros arrogantly raised its head, gave Chu Xuan a cold look, and then instantly disappeared into the void.

With the disappearance of Boros, the void returned to silence, with only the dark purple flames burning quietly, attempting to completely erode Chu Xuan's will.

However, regardless of whether Boros was there or not, Chu Xuan did not shift his gaze, calmly looking at the huge star in the void above, seemingly lost in thought.

If Li Qingyu were here right now, he would discover...

Chu Xuan's Body Refining Technique level has reached seven digits, and... just like a counter, it's rising rapidly...

That's right, Chu Xuan wasn't unable to defeat the Fear Demon King, nor was he unable to break free of the Void Chains.

First, Chu Xuan wanted to hear what this useless demon king, who thought he had victory in his grasp, had to say...

Secondly, Chu Xuan sensed that the upper limit of power in this world had increased once again. Therefore, Chu Xuan decided to first raise his own power to its limit before clearing everything away.

after all....

This universe... isn't just home to the Demon King...
