I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

In the sky, the giant eye erupted once more.

The white light was no longer confined to the city wall below, but instead clung to the flesh and blood, flowing upwards and transforming into streaks of intense white light that fiercely pierced the flesh and blood connecting the illusory image of the Crown of Kings.

The white light completely ignored the obstruction of the Crown of Kings and the flesh and blood of the starry sky, and pierced through the body of the Crown of Kings along the flesh and blood.

The Crown of Kings emitted a piercing sound of flesh rubbing together, along with a silent wail.

The entire crown began to tremble violently, and crisscrossing cracks appeared on its flesh-and-blood body. Palm-sized fragments of the crown fell continuously into the sea of ​​blood.

Of its six eyeballs, tainted with blood and flesh, one was instantly frozen by a ghastly white light.

Then a white light covered the area, and the next moment, the eyeball wrapped in flesh and blood exploded, the pupil shrank and shriveled into a lifeless mass.

After the flesh covering the Crown of Kings was peeled away, the true form of the Crown, which shone with a dark golden luster, was faintly revealed inside.

However, the Guardian's heavy blow did not defeat the Crown of Kings.

The attack seemed to have triggered fear in the Crown of Kings, or perhaps made it realize something.

It began to frantically squeeze the flesh and blood below, and the dark red veins and roots twisted and surged toward the wound, connecting the Crown of Kings itself with the Starry Sky Flesh and Blood Body into one.

Its wounded crack was sealed by denser, more intricate inscriptions and flesh, and the forbidden aura it emitted not only did not decrease but increased, showing a crazy momentum of forcibly hatching new forbidden things in the midst of destruction.

It was this devastating blow that made Lu Yuan realize something was amiss.

Through the Golden Token he possessed, he could sense the faint will of the Crown of Kings, the only one he could still connect with, and the connection between them had deepened once again.

This means that the corrupted will has been weakened.

So, the opportunity has arrived.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan endured the excruciating pain that threatened to tear his consciousness apart and pushed the authority that was already hovering in front of him to its limit.

Accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, countless insects of knowledge, carrying colorful fragments of text, hovered above the rift and surged into the ruptured eye socket of the crown.

Lu Yuan forcefully cleaved open the blood and flesh that filled the sky, and the erosion of the Sea of ​​Knowledge, combined with the Knowledge Worm, finally landed on the crown itself.

The corrosive power of the sea of ​​knowledge instantly multiplied several times within the flesh and blood, turning large swaths of dark red flesh into empty shells after being devoured by the worms of knowledge.

But just a few breaths later, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

Because through the symbiotic connection, he can sense an extremely unusual sense of satisfaction emanating from the swarm.

This sense of satisfaction, like that of their own knowledge worms when they devoured the crystallized consciousness, meant that they were about to fall into a deep sleep.

These worms of knowledge were not attacked in flesh and blood, but they could not withstand the overwhelming amount of high-level knowledge.

The mysteries contained within the flesh and blood of the starry sky were too profound and complex. Once those knowledge insects came into contact with these core elements, they quickly could not withstand them and fell into a half-drunk, half-awake slumber. Some knowledge insects even had their bodies explode directly in the light.

If they continue to devour it, this swarm of knowledge insects that has finally begun to take shape will be completely wiped out.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately issued a recall order through the symbiotic connection and the Sea of ​​Knowledge, forcibly severing their contact with the wound.

Meanwhile, the pale eye hanging high above the outer city wall had been launching a frenzied attack for several breaths.

That jet-black pupil, which once hung high in the sky and could devour all light, is now rapidly transforming into a pure white without any impurities.

The eerie qualities hidden beneath the name "Pale Eyes" were revealed in full at this moment.

The pitch blackness on the surface of his eyeballs was almost completely replaced by a deathly white. Lu Yuan could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from the enormous presence in the sky surging upwards exponentially.

The air was completely dried by the extreme cold, and even though the Tower of Learning was so far away, one could still feel the chill emanating from it.

Its rampaging white light no longer distinguishes between friend and foe, nor is it limited to the forbidden flesh and blood below.

Several pale white beams swept across the inner city, and a few thick beams of white light even fell straight down towards the Tower of Learning, slamming heavily onto the gray mist surrounding the tower.

The light emitted an extremely low temperature, freezing the air into large, transparent ice crystals wherever it passed, creating an eerie, colorful halo within the beam.

The main tower began to shake violently, and the gray mist rippled outwards.

Fortunately, the person on the wall was quite resistant to this power, or rather, this strange pathway that was lower in rank than himself. The gray mist was only slightly removed and did not damage the foundation of the main tower of the Tower of Learning.

However, the outer regions, which are further away, were not so fortunate.

Below the outer city, amidst the ruins of the Night's Watch branch, a chilling beam of light fell almost vertically, striking the still-intact stone roof.

The stone house surface touched by the beam of light was instantly covered with a thick layer of pale ice, and many white pupils began to emerge and distort from it.

With a piercing thud, the stone house quickly gave way, cracking open in large sections, sending stone chips flying, and countless eyes bursting out and falling to the ground.

They seemed to be carrying pollution, and began to spread around, but the accompanying power was too small. Those polluted eyeballs did not last long and soon died.

The entire stone house, along with the soil beneath it, turned to dust and was blown away without a trace by the cold wind, leaving only a deep, sunken pit.

Klaus, Rex, and the others, standing at the edge of the ruins, felt a chill run down their spines. They froze instantly and, without any discussion, tacitly retreated to a safer direction in the distance.

The frigid air flowed silently across the faces of the people below, freezing their breath into frost before it could dissipate.

If the strange beam of light emanating from the guardians had landed a little further off course, even they could have been seriously injured on the spot.

This kind of random attack, which is erratic and indiscriminate, also illustrates an extremely bad fact.

That means the guardians might not be able to hold on much longer.

The last vestige of reason that the guardians had painstakingly pieced together was rapidly eroded by this violent force.

Deep within the Guardian's mind, an unstoppable, nascent consciousness began to devour his remaining self, or rather, assimilate it.

Inside the pale, giant eye, the guardian's remaining will had reached its limit, and the immense and chaotic inhuman power began to devour his fragile soul.

Worse still, as his physical body underwent complete transformation, another consciousness quietly formed deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, frantically vying for control of this pale body.

It was a beast that knew only savagery and destruction, yet possessed human-like intelligence.

For now, he can still suppress this new consciousness with this hatred, but it is still rapidly gnawing at his body and control.

This cannot continue.

The guardian's remaining consciousness knew.

He had seen too many out-of-control colleagues in his life, friends who had once fought alongside him, who, after turning into monsters, eventually became the very monsters he was determined to destroy.

If that strange consciousness were to completely gain the upper hand, he would no longer be able to control this body.

Once he loses control of the fifth-order core, an indestructible fifth-order anomaly might be more terrifying to the already battered Bronze City than the flesh and blood beneath the earth.

Therefore, the Guardians will never allow that newly born monster to live in this world with his power. They must end it all themselves before their self-awareness completely collapses.

He summoned the last vestige of his soul's resolve to fight hatred, burned away the remaining strength in his mind, and crushed the roaring, struggling newborn consciousness within him.

But that consciousness was also part of the guardian's consciousness; the two were originally from the same root.

So at the moment the newborn consciousness was crushed, the huge, pale eye covered with ghastly white lines paused slightly in mid-air, and the rampant white light and countless swaying tentacles suddenly subsided completely.

The pale eye, that enormous eye, lowered slightly, looking over the city's shimmering words and surging sea of ​​blood, silently surveying the ravaged land beneath its feet in these final moments.

His gaze swept over the familiar, now-ruined street corners.

There are the stone platform where he served in his youth, the tavern where he drank cheap beer, and the faces of his comrades whose features have been blurred by time, but whose eyes he can still remember.

He guarded this bronze city for hundreds of years, and now it has become a bloody and mangled ruin, but it is still his only and only remaining home.

"That's enough, I should go now."

It is a shell without human voice or human structure, and cannot make a sound.

No one could hear that long, relieved sigh; it was the guardian's final reflection to himself.

The next moment, without warning, a huge rift suddenly appeared in the center of the pale white giant eye in the sky.

The enormous body was rapidly dissolving, collapsing inch by inch.

A large amount of dark brown residue turned into ashes and fell into the sky. The eyeball patterns, which had just begun to turn pale, also stopped completely at this moment.

This newly formed fifth-order monster severed its own consciousness before stepping into the threshold of the new world.

At that very moment, dark clouds gathered over Bronze City, and a torrential rain fell, accompanying the death of the guardian.

Rain, mixed with black and white fragments, drizzled down over the outer and inner city.

The falling rainwater was mixed with half-black and half-white fragments; the black fragments were tinged with the ashes of decay, while the white ones were filled with the frozen aura of death.

They fell onto the soil and ruins with the rain, making a soft rustling sound.
