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

The heavy rain continued to fall in Bronze City. Lu Yuan was suspended in mid-air, with an endless sea of ​​blood beneath his feet.

The dark red fleshy waves writhed and rolled, their crests surging and engulfing broken meridians and gnarled roots.

The surging wave of flesh then crashed back down with a tremendous sound.

The scent of flesh and blood mixed with the rainwater surged upwards, causing Lu Yuan to frown involuntarily.

Only a charred spire remained of the Pagoda of Learning, still faintly visible outside the sea of ​​blood.

The flesh and blood continued to spread upwards, and it was estimated that within minutes, this last sanctuary of the inner city would cease to exist.

The worm of knowledge that was supporting Lu Yuan kept swimming around him, and the colorful light spots flickered on and off, making his expression look strange.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, staring at the golden crown above his head.

The seven glass gems on the Crown of Kings had lost some of their luster.

The crown fell above his head, suspended in the rain, swaying slightly.

Lu Yuan made a simple assessment in his mind.

This crown was taken from the Crown of Kings; what is borrowed must eventually be returned.

Once it dissipates, Rex will fall back from the threshold of the sixth rank, and at that point, nothing will be able to help him buy time.

Therefore, you must act quickly.

Secondly, my own rationality is now steadily declining.

The voices of prayer in my ears grew clearer and clearer. What started as simple, indistinct murmurs had gradually become distinct.

That must be believers praying to the Crown of Kings, asking Him to bless them.

What does this mean? Lu Yuan wasn't really sure.

But one thing is certain: I am being constantly polluted.

Finally, there were the knowledge insects around him. As the rifts in the sea of ​​knowledge above continued to open, the knowledge insects began to break away from the group in twos and threes, flying back towards the rifts above their heads without looking back.

Even when Lu Yuan tried to bring it back using his knowledge worms through symbiotic connection, the effect was not significant.

Moreover, as the rift gradually widens, the power of the Knowledge Worm seems to be gradually diminished.

But logically, shouldn't it be an increase?

This made Lu Yuan click his tongue, somewhat speechless.

"Lu Yuan, I have a piece of advice for you."

Oden's voice suddenly emerged from deep within his left leg.

This was the first time the remnant soul had spoken so seriously since it had taken over the body of the drowning man.

"Stay away from those black and white lines at all costs. The clash between taboos is a clash between power, a collision between territories. Once you encounter them, you will fall directly into their territory."

"Given your current rank and the power you wield, once you're inside, you'll only become nourishment for others."

Rainwater streamed down Lu Yuan's chin. Oden continued, "And I don't want to die either. I've only been out for a few days; if I die here with you, we're finished."

Lu Yuan ignored the second half of Auden's sentence; he knew Auden was telling the truth.

The black and white lines that had spread over from a distance made his breath catch in his throat.

If you get too close, your fate won't be much better than that of the swarming insects that turn to ashes.

His battlefield was never on the front lines, but above the rift in the sea of ​​knowledge above his head.

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked into the distance.

Two figures stood in the direction of the massive flesh and blood wall of the outer city.

Chains and eerie green flames swirled and spun around them, while the flesh beneath their feet churned and churned, yet the chains seemed oblivious to them.

In the distant fog, a pair of pale white eyes hung silently. They neither approached nor left, simply watching quietly.

Just watch.

With the support of his authority, Lu Yuan's senses became exceptionally sharp.

He withdrew his gaze and focused all his consciousness on the authority of the Sea of ​​Knowledge, constantly connecting with it.

However, the oppressive force of the present world is so strong that the rate at which the cracks in the sea of ​​knowledge are spreading is gradually slowing down.

Under the heavy rain, the swarming sea of ​​insects writhed silently.

Rex was currently suspended in the sea of ​​insects, his eyes closed.

What does it feel like to become taboo?

The entire inner city, and even the outer city, were within his perception.

Every surging wave of flesh and blood in the sea of ​​blood, the ancient and extreme aura deep in the gray fog, and the pulling of three inexplicable forces within the newly born forbidden body.

The faint gold, the scarlet flesh, and a hint of green that Rick couldn't quite describe—all of it was clearly visible to Rick at that moment; nothing escaped his eyes.

At this moment, the hundreds of thousands, even millions, of his followers transformed into his eyes.

He could see in almost every direction, both above and below ground, in front and behind, left and right.

At this moment, there were no blind spots in Rick's vision.

And he also saw the one in the gray fog.

Its authority remains, its domain remains, but its power hangs there empty, as if it cannot be realized.

Rick also had his own assessment of the man on the wall: a taboo who couldn't hold the knife. After all, a knife that no one holds, no matter how sharp, cannot cause harm.

Then, he turned his gaze to the new forbidden creature that was taking shape in the sea of ​​blood.

Its domain was expanding outwards inch by inch, but something seemed to be missing from that expanding domain. The location of that gap seemed strangely familiar to him.

At the same time, he also saw that figure high in the sky, amidst the white mist.

It remained quietly still, its presence so faint as to be almost imperceptible, not even seeming taboo, and emanating no malice whatsoever. It simply hung there silently, neither approaching nor retreating.

Rick couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, but his gut feeling told him that it wasn't an enemy. At least not now.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the direction of the giant wall.

There were two figures there, seemingly trying to avoid the gazes of the swarming insects, but it was to no avail.

One of them was a Great Ascended One. A thought crossed Rex's mind: Hadn't the Ascended Society retreated to the outer city? How come he's here?

The other man was someone Rick had never seen before, but both the Great Ascendant and the man before him were shrouded in something indescribable.

The aura emanating from that power made even Rex vaguely sense danger.

But no matter what, the Ascension Society will ultimately belong to the Empire.

Unless he has already betrayed the empire, they are not to be feared in the current situation.

As Rick adjusted to his body, a thought began to form in his mind.
