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

The reason why Rek has been stuck at the fourth level of transcendent and unable to advance is not because his will is not strong enough. On the contrary, Rek may be one of the most determined people in the Night Watch.

On the contrary, it was because the way he embarked on this extraordinary path was too brutal and cruel.

The entire town where Rick lived was devoured by the swarming worms. Filled with resentment and bitterness, Rick retaliated against the swarming worms.

The swarming insects were gnawing at Rex's body, while Rex was gnawing at the swarming insects.

And so, Rick devoured himself into a semi-monstrous existence; in essence, Rick was actually a large-sized sycophant.

However, Rex possesses a human will, which makes it difficult for him to get along with the swarming worms within him. This is why, after Rex reached the fourth rank at an extremely fast pace, he has been locked inside them ever since.

Until recently, Rex finally overcame that hurdle in his heart, but he still doesn't have enough control over the current hordes of insects.

This means that it may take an extremely long time for Rek to reach the fifth rank.

Now, catalyzed by the immense energy of the fifth-tier core, the number of swarming worms within his body has begun to surge, and the newly born worms are constantly mutating and becoming increasingly hungry.

Now, catalyzed by the immense energy of the fifth-tier core, the number of swarming worms within his body has begun to surge, and the newly born worms are constantly mutating and becoming increasingly hungry.

They need more flesh and blood as a breeding ground for survival, and Rek's damaged fourth-tier body is clearly not enough to satisfy their enormous appetite.

Click, click.

The dull thud of bones cracking continued to emanate from Rex's body. His bones began to break in large sections, and his entire chest cavity bulged high due to the growth of the swarm of insects, which began to retaliate, tearing at Rex's remaining organs.

Dark green viscous fluid mixed with blood flowed continuously down the gaps in his leather armor, dripping onto the ruined stone bricks frozen by the core aura, emitting a corrosive hissing sound.

Rick knew very well that this was the limit of his talent.

If given time, things might get a little better, but what Lake needs most right now is time.

So even if he forcibly reaches the threshold of the fifth rank, all that awaits him is to be completely devoured by the insects he has raised, or more accurately, to be devoured by the insects that have swarmed under his command.

At this moment, Rex was already considered to be at the fifth rank, but it was a somewhat unstable fifth rank. However, he already had enough power to withstand that fifth-rank potion.

He controlled the swarming insects, brought the bottle of dark gold fifth-tier potion to his mouth, bit the stopper, and poured the viscous liquid down his throat.

The moment the medicine entered his throat, an extremely domineering and icy restrictive force rapidly coursed through Rex's entire body.

The flesh and blood that was on the verge of collapse was forcibly locked up, and the riotous swarm of insects seemed to be shackled with heavy chains, emitting sharp cries, but had to retreat back under his skin.

Rick's entire body trembled uncontrollably in the cold.

The originally soft, swarming insects around him were suddenly hardened like iron by the drug's effects, each one standing up like a sharp thorn, intertwining with each other and wrapping Rex's entire body into a giant black cocoon.

The medicine saved Rick's life, but that was all.

He was merely a superhuman powerhouse locked at the early stage of the fifth rank, a newcomer to the fifth rank, and was completely unable to unleash the true combat power to contend with that flesh and blood crown in the upcoming decisive battle.

In this deadly predicament, which is only one step away from the forbidden, if he wants to unleash his combat power, he must stand at the peak of the fifth rank and cross the shackles that restrict him.

Rick closed his eyes and, in the deepest recesses of his consciousness, whispered a name.

"The man on the wall."

This was the last card that Rick had kept for himself. During this time, he had consulted a large amount of information and already understood that he had fulfilled the contract he signed with the man on the wall, although he still didn't know exactly what he had fulfilled.

But he has already fulfilled the requirements of the man on the wall, and now it is up to the man on the wall to complete his request, so the man on the wall has no way to go back on his word.

Or rather, he had no power to back out, because even those on the wall couldn't afford the price.

The moment that name was uttered, the consciousness of the person on the wall of the Tower of Learning in the inner city, curled up in the giant head, suddenly stopped.

He was still bound by a contract, the very one that Lei Ke had.

Now that Rex has already paid the price, he can't escape this call, and the consequences of going back on his word are something he can't accept right now.

The man on the wall, his broken face hidden in the gray mist, twisted slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness, yet he had no way out.

He could only sever a wisp of his immense consciousness and forcibly connect it with Rek's somewhat desolate spiritual connection.

Rick felt the scenery in front of him suddenly distort, and then his vision dimmed.

The cold rain and the ruins vanished, leaving only a desolate wasteland before him.

He was standing at the edge of the wasteland, with the bottomless, pitch-black abyss still beneath his feet.

On both sides of the cliff, there were many ancient, protruding places where one could stand. This time, Rick suddenly realized that he was standing much higher than when he came in, because he seemed to be level with the edge of the crevice. It seemed that if he took two steps forward, he could step onto this desolate land.

However, looking at the undulating wasteland, Rick's intuition was frantically issuing warnings, as if telling him that he must not take this step, otherwise it would lead to some unbearable consequences.

Of course, Lake wouldn't actually rush out recklessly.

He carefully looked around. The fog here wasn't too thick, and he could still vaguely see the scene in the distance.

For example, in that far-off place, there is a castle built of loess, connecting heaven and earth.

If it weren't for Rex's decent eyesight, he would have almost thought he was seeing things. The castle didn't look very big, yet it soared into the clouds. He wondered how it managed to do that.

Just then, a thick gray fog rolled in, and the head of the person on the wall appeared in the air.

The face was a whole size smaller than when I saw it at the top of the Tower of Learning, but its overall condition seemed quite good, and the indifference in its eyes remained unchanged.

"Your wish is granted."

Rick took a deep breath.

This time, he had already made his plans and spoke his desires at an extremely fast pace.

"I am about to reach the pinnacle of the fifth tier, but my body is not able to take it. I need you to help me take that step without letting me lose control of my path and while allowing me to maintain control."

The person on the wall smiled as he listened to Rick's very detailed request.

He looked at the human in front of him, who was covered in the scent of swarming insects, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"allow."

The voice of the person on the wall exploded in the sky above the wasteland, rolling away layer by layer.

Rex's consciousness was shattered by the enormous sound, and the next moment, he was thrown out of that desolate and boundless domain.

When Rick opened his eyes again, he was still surrounded by cold rain and ruins.

But at this moment, everything had changed, because an ancient, cold, and boundless power completely enveloped Rex's entire body.

The swarming insects within him seemed to have encountered some ancient being that transcended their origins. Their will to resist vanished instantly, and the swarm became incredibly docile, completely at the mercy of Rex's will.

The immense power intercepted by the swarming insects began to flow into Rex's body according to his will, constantly gathering within him and allowing Rex to distribute it at his discretion.

Meanwhile, the person on the wall who had fulfilled Rex's wish seemed to have gained something from the transaction as his will was withdrawn, and his aura became slightly stronger at this moment.

However, unlike in front of Rek, he still maintained his appearance covered in cracks.

On Lei Ke's side, his already broken bones began to retract rapidly, and the spikes under his skin gradually retracted into his body.

His right eye had turned deathly white, with countless large, blackish-gray worms with eyes constantly swirling and wriggling, each newborn worm topped with a deathly white eyeball.

An aura belonging to a fifth-tier transcendent being, which once made mortals tremble, emanated from Rex.

This aura was extremely dangerous, yet it also carried a hint of human will. It swept across the entire ruins, causing the Night Watchers around to unconsciously retreat. Among them, the Blue Knight looked at Rek's figure with a kind of longing.

But in the end, he shook his head.

"It worked?"

Klaus looked at the scene before him, but showed no joy; his eyes held only an indescribable bitterness and relief.

Rex looked down at his hands, feeling the ever-increasing energy and the swarming insects that were constantly mutating.

His body was completely covered by the swarming insects, and he no longer needed to maintain his human appearance, but at this moment his will also began to be impacted by the swarming insects.

This force is very strong, extremely strong.

Therefore, before using something as an anchor point to completely lock himself in the Bronze City, he needs to finish what he needs to do first.

As for staying in Bronze City and becoming the next Guardian, Rex didn't care about the consequences at all.

Rex raised his head, his crimson eyes, which had been hovering above the swarm of insects, gazing in the direction of the Inner City's Tower of Learning.

This extremely violent fifth-tier aura pierced through the wind and rain, passed through the corrupted flesh and blood of the Bronze City, and finally landed directly on the top of the Inner City's Tower of Learning, on the constantly twisting figure suspended in the rift of the Sea of ​​Knowledge.

Rex was preparing to force his way into the inner city; he needed to rescue Lu Yuan.

But before that, he needs a little time, just a little bit of time.
