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

Rex finally arrived.

A swarm of insects lifted him up, carrying him through the passage carved out of the sea of ​​blood, and propelled him to the top of the Tower of Learning.

The Insect of Knowledge, carrying Lu Yuan, slowly descended from the sky at this moment and stopped in mid-air not far from Lei Ke.

In fact, Lu Yuan had a chance to leave long ago. With just a word from him, these worms of knowledge that were carrying him could have wrapped him up, torn a crack elsewhere, and sent him out of the inner city.

But Lu Yuan did not choose to do so.

Having gone this far, he was unwilling to simply escape for nothing.

Besides, the entry for "[Taboo Studies - Scholar: 0/5 (Taboo)]" is still empty.

The new forbidden student before him, whose name he couldn't recall, was an opportunity he had only encountered once in a long time.

If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll have to wait to move this experience bar forward again.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that Lei Ke has ascended the steps... Once Lu Yuan chooses to leave, then Bronze City will become the battlefield for the people on the wall, the new taboo, and Lei Ke.

But can Rick survive against these creatures?

The answer is no; Lu Yuan doesn't want Lei Ke to die here in vain.

Before Lu Yuan could think further, Lei Ke stopped in front of him.

He no longer resembled a human being.

The entire body was made up of densely packed swarms of insects, twisted together in a dark mass, with the edges constantly writhing and reshaping themselves.

There is no longer a clear line between humans and insects.

He couldn't open his mouth or make a sound.

The swarm of insects in front of him stuck together, crookedly spelling out a few words in the Imperial language.

Aren't you leaving?

The words were scattered, then pieced back together.

"Lu Yuan, I can take you away."

Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from Lei Ke, Lu Yuan couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

This man risked his life to carve through the sea of ​​blood that filled the inner city, just to come and fetch him.

Deep inside his left leg, Oden unusually abandoned his nonchalant tone.

"Lu Yuan, is this your friend?" Its voice was very low. "He... seems to be no longer human."

Lu Yuan did not answer it.

He looked up at the golden crown hanging above his head. The crown's shadow swayed gently in the wind and rain, and the light of the seven glass gemstones was a little dimmer than before.

"Rex, if I leave, you're doomed." Lu Yuan looked at him and continued, "We still have a chance."

So, are you ready?

Rick's head, made of worms, twitched slightly, the worms still crawling around on it.

After a brief moment of surprise, he pieced the words in front of him back together.

"I'll follow your orders."

Lu Yuan stopped suppressing the power above his head.

This time, he didn't choose to ignore it, but instead took it on whole without any distraction.

immortal!

immortal!

immortal!

That feeling surged up all at once.

The whole world was singing for him, and the overwhelming voices were cheering for him. All things bowed to him, as if a ray of light had suddenly broken through the long night, illuminating everything. He was the only one who was supreme.

The sounds of prayer began to ring in my ears; it was believers praying to the Crown of Kings, hoping to receive supreme blessings.

At this moment, Lu Yuan once again felt an overwhelming sense of omnipotence from the depths of his heart.

It seems that if one is willing, one can immediately ascend to the divine level, transform into a new immortal being, and receive that almost supreme power.

But Lu Yuan knew it was an illusion.

The last time it surged up, he pressed it down hard.

But this time, Lu Yuan did not choose to continue suppressing it, because at this moment, Lu Yuan really needed the power of immortality.

Since you are omnipotent.

Then...

I grant you "immortality"

Lu Yuan looked at Lei Ke in front of him, and his mind settled down.

The next moment, a smaller crown appeared out of thin air from the center of the golden crown on his head, trailing a golden tail of flame, and hovered above the head of the swarm of insects.

The golden crown fell and then hovered high above Rex's head. The golden light intertwined with the black aura, echoing each other. The enormous, unsettling swarm of insects was now enveloped in a faint golden light.

What was originally repulsive has been transformed into something somewhat sacred.

Rick's entire appearance has changed.

The next moment, an extremely oppressive aura burst forth from Rex.

[Forbidden aura detected. Please move away immediately!]

The gray and white text jumped around wildly.

Rex's aura suddenly exploded outwards.

A visible aura emanated from the Tower of Learning, spreading outwards in all directions.

This caused the already crumbling tower of erudition to collapse under its own weight.

After that massive movement, flesh and blood surged, instantly covering the last piece of land in the bronze inner city.

And Rek, who had just reached the peak of the fifth rank and was only one step away from the sixth rank, finally put one foot across that unreachable threshold under the influence of the authority.

The insurmountable barrier between the sixth and fifth orders was abruptly erased at this moment.

Golden light swirled around the vast sea of ​​insects.

A pair of jet-black, reddish eyes, radiating an overwhelming aura of terror, hovered beneath the golden crown, pressing down upon it.

In Lu Yuan's vision, the gray and white text slowly condensed into several lines.

Target detected: Rick (Taboo) (Human)

[A human who has begun to grasp foreign authority. Regardless, at this moment, he is a new taboo. Rejoice, followers! The true Mother of Followers has arrived!]

As the gray and white text fell, at that moment, Rek, who had not been noticed by the taboo of the newborn and the people on the wall, suddenly broke into their sight.

That's the aura of a new taboo!

Although it is very weak, it is indeed a forbidden existence! Moreover, it seems to have the same origin as the aura.

In that moment of shock and bewilderment at the new taboo, the person on the wall finally found an opportunity.

He had no choice but to completely abandon the enormous head that had originally been hidden within it. The massive head, riddled with cracks, collapsed and dissolved like an eggshell in the gray mist, eventually merging entirely into the gray mist.

And the consciousness that had been hidden within it finally revealed its true nature.

It was a huge face without any features, shrouded in gray mist. A large amount of mist continued to spread around it, constantly resisting the black and white cracks.

The person on the wall finally revealed His full power.

Meanwhile, above the Tower of Learning, after Rek was crowned, Lu Yuan could sense that the small crown that landed on Rek's head was connected to the golden crown on his own head.

As long as he retains this power, the crowned Rex will remain on the threshold of the sixth rank.

This authority was stripped from the crown of kings, and is ultimately temporary.

But it didn't dissipate that quickly, giving them enough time to finish what they needed to do.

There were costs involved.

Along with the golden power, a faint trace of black, the same kind of black as the black mark on Lu Yuan's left eye stalk, seeped into the Rek swarm, silently burrowing into the deepest part of the swarming insect sea.

He withdrew his gaze and turned it back to the newly emerging forbidden entity that was spreading its domain.

The golden crown on his head was still there, but the reason he himself had been barely held up by immortality was still sinking inch by inch.

time is limited.

"Leike," Lu Yuan's voice mingled with the chirping of insects, "Stop them."

"Leave the rest to me."

At that very moment, the newly born taboo, which was intertwined with the person on the wall in the distance, moved.

"Thief who steals power! Die!"
