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

Oden's suggestion made Lu Yuan realize that this was indeed an opportunity.

The worm of knowledge lifted Lu Yuan and made him step back a little.

Almost simultaneously, the figure on the wall began to fall continuously.

The enormous, suspended head seemed to be pressed down by some invisible pressure, sinking inch by inch towards the sea of ​​blood.

The ancient consciousness within the gray fog let out a silent growl.

Halfway down, the gray mist that had been swirling around it suddenly surged, bursting forth from the eye sockets, between the teeth, and in every crevice of the skull, forcefully holding up the crumbling crown of flesh and blood.

His head hovered in mid-air, no longer sinking, and at the same time, his previously weak aura surged.

At this moment, the person on the wall was no longer the half-dead, helpless figure they had been before.

It is, after all, a taboo whose original consciousness is almost complete; what it has always lacked is only a body capable of withstanding its own power.

Now that it has been forced into this situation, it has decided to reveal the power it had been hiding all along.

The gray fog suddenly turned from defense to offense.

Countless thin strands of mist emerged from the head, swirling back towards the newly born taboo, half-human and half-tree. Wherever they passed, the surging dark red flesh withered and peeled away piece by piece, or even disappeared directly into the thick mist.

The nine gazes of the new students simultaneously narrowed.

It clearly did not expect that the head it had been crowning backwards and pressing down would actually bite back.

The gray fog and flesh collided in mid-air.

It was a real, unadulterated collision between two forbidden entities, without any frills.

The flesh and blood were corroded by the gray mist, creating holes that were then filled with endless flesh and blood in the blink of an eye; the gray mist was torn open by the giant web of flesh and blood, and the gaps were filled by the mist that kept coming out of the head.

No one gained an advantage in this situation.

Even more troublesome are the black and white patterns on that newly born taboo.

The lines were spreading inch by inch along the flesh and blood, and wherever they passed, even the air seemed to distort as if it were being burned.

It is expanding its territory.

Once this territory is fully formed, the entire Bronze City, including its inhabitants, will fall into its grasp.

The gray mist surrounding the person on the wall is currently the only thing that can withstand this area.

The gray fog spread out, intertwining with the spreading black and white patterns in mid-air.

On one side is the ancient and alienated gray territory, and on the other side is the newly emerging black and white realm where taboos are just beginning to unfold. The two completely different realms erode and disrupt each other, and neither can cover the other smoothly.

The momentum of the newly emerging forbidden territory was largely halted by this head that it casually discarded.

Lu Yuan, who was on top of the tower, did not just stand by and watch.

The power deep within his left eye sank, and he forcefully widened the crack in the sea of ​​knowledge above his head.

The words spread out according to his thoughts, condensing into thin, cold blades of light, pressing down on the void where the person on the wall was entangled with the taboo of new life.

These words cannot harm them, nor does Lu Yuan want to harm them.

As the cold blade swept across, the black and white patterns spreading across the newly created forbidden area were forced to retract by half an inch, and the gray mist of the person on the wall took advantage of the gap to push out half a bit.

That's all he wanted.

Lu Yuan slowly moved the pull of the power, attempting to tear the sea of ​​knowledge even wider. Only if the two forbidden figures moved closer and landed directly below the rift would Lu Yuan have a chance.

The moment his authority was unleashed, his senses also spread out along with the countless characters, sweeping across most of the inner city.

Just then, Lu Yuan noticed that in the direction of the giant flesh and blood wall of the outer city, there was a small area that seemed to be covered by something, making it impossible to explore.

Clearly, something else in the city has joined the fray—a passerby in the fog?

Before Lu Yuan could think, the price followed immediately. The swarm of knowledge insects beneath his feet began to vibrate continuously as the cracks in the sea of ​​knowledge continued to widen.

Lu Yuan's control over this swarm of tens of thousands of knowledge insects is becoming increasingly weak, with a large number of knowledge insects attempting to break free of control and return to the sea of ​​knowledge.

Meanwhile, as the Knowledge Worm fluctuated, Lu Yuan's ever-recovering rationality began to tremble slightly.

My sanity level has dropped...

Meanwhile, in the distance, Rex was taking advantage of this opening to frantically move towards the Tower of Knowledge.

The countless insects of knowledge no longer bothered the newly born taboo, but instead merged into the swarm of insects surrounding Rex, helping to open a passage through the sea of ​​blood.

The crack above his head was being torn apart madly by Lu Yuan's will, growing larger and larger.

He gathered back all the words that had overflowed.

Because the final move is here: to tear this opening completely open, creating a gaping maw that swallows the sky, sweeping away everyone on the wall, the newly born taboos, and even the passersby in the fog watching from afar into the sea of ​​knowledge.

[Taboo Studies - Scholar: 0/5 (Taboo)]

Once it's successful, the newly opened experience bar will move forward by three points in one go.

Having dealt with taboos time and time again, Lu Yuan finally understood one thing: Avoid these things as much as possible, but if you do encounter them, make sure to accelerate your progress as much as possible. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll be able to move it forward again.

It's just too much trouble to tear open this opening.

For every inch the crack widens, the insect of knowledge stirs and trembles more.

But immortality finally proved its worth, and the reason that was trying to slip away was actually blocked by immortality.

A golden crown enveloped Lu Yuan, and the beams of light hanging down from the curtain began to weaken.

It was so close.

At this moment, supported by the Worm of Knowledge, the two met, and Rex finally got as close to Lu Yuan as possible.

Meanwhile, a figure stood atop the massive wall of flesh and blood in the outer city.

Chains and eerie green flames swirled around him, making him seem to be hidden in another dimension. The flesh beneath his feet was completely unaware of the figure above him.

The figure silently watched the forbidden being that had fully taken shape, the head suspended in mid-air, and the swarming insects and knowledge insects intertwined and locked in combat.

He muttered to himself.

"Lu Yuan, you've given me a wonderful surprise! Now our plan can move forward."

He tilted his head slightly, as if talking to something beside him.

Then, a figure radiating a silvery-white glow slowly crawled out from the flesh and blood.

He stared blankly at the scene before him.

Are you sure we can get involved?

The figure beside him smiled.

"Look at yourself!"

The ascendant looked down and realized that he was now covered by layers of black chains.

The flesh and blood that should have completely corroded his body seemed to ignore him.

"Don't forget what stands behind the Forbidden Society. This is both a crisis and an opportunity. If the Forbidden Society wants to obtain the truth it desires, it must take this step."

The Great Ascended One paused for a moment before speaking:

"So, you actually knew that Bronze City would turn out like this?"

"I don't know, but I do know that the chance to unlock the first chain lies here."
