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

The swarming sea of ​​insects immediately split into dozens of streams, each flowing according to his will, constantly meandering and turning without the slightest hesitation.

The moment the swarming insects fell into the sea of ​​blood, a forbidden power surged back along the swarm.

Rex quickly tasted it; it was a powerful and vibrant force, yet it was scalding hot and had a fishy smell.

Furthermore, Rex could also sense that there was an invisible line connecting the small crown inside his body to the golden crown on Lu Yuan's head in the distance.

His sixth-order ticket was borrowed; once the line breaks, he'll probably fall back down.

Now that Rick had finally gained some initial control over his body and strength, it was time to get to work.

Rex called out towards the depths of the earth.

This sound was not human speech, but rather it drifted out from his body, which was no longer distinguishable between human and insect, into the depths of the earth, and floated into the distance.

That was the sound of a mother calling for her children.

The response first came from underground. The ground of the entire bronze city began to undulate. Then, deep within the earth, among the mountains outside the city, the wild, swarming insects stirred at the sound.

Dark, dense clouds of insects rose continuously from the horizon in all directions, layer upon layer, pressing down even further on the already gloomy sky.

The swarming insects, layer upon layer, formed a bridge across half of the bronze city, passing over the walls made of flesh and blood, and pouring down into the inner city.

The swarming insects that fell within Rex's range seemed to be stimulated by something; their bodies instantly glowed with golden light and swelled up.

They were no longer afraid of the blood and flesh that filled the sky; instead, they seemed to have spotted some kind of food and swarmed towards the sea of ​​blood.

Furthermore, the ground of the Bronze City churned violently, and the sea of ​​blood that covered the ground suddenly exploded.

Those bronze pillars that were already being pulled out were suddenly pushed back up.

One after another, wrapped in large chunks of flesh and blood, they were continuously pulled up from the sea of ​​blood, and the inscriptions on the pillars began to wear away.

The bronze pillars that were originally only a few dozen faintly visible were now almost completely uprooted. These bronze pillars, which had been buried deep underground for countless years, fell one after another into the sea of ​​blood, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.

And within this, the swarming insects seemed to have already surged from the ground into the endless flesh and blood.

Because on those bronze pillars that were pulled out, there were actually some corpses of swarming insects.

As the most common mutated creature, the Crowd Worm has achieved true omnipresence.

The insect swarm continues to grow exponentially.

As Rick hovered in the center, he suddenly remembered his childhood. The town where he lived had also disappeared in the same way.

A swarm of insects covered the sky, and he kept trying to escape, but he never made it out and eventually became a superhuman.

And now, he stands behind this swarm of admirers. How utterly ridiculous.

Now, separated by most of the battlefield, Lu Yuan has not yet made any move, but Oden in his left leg first let out a strange cry.

"He actually reached the sixth rank! That's a rare sight indeed..."

But then, his tone changed, and his voice gradually lowered.

"Unfortunately, his path has been tainted by your power. Alas."

Lu Yuan withdrew his consciousness, which was currently intertwined with power, and separated a wisp to ask Auden, "Is there some other price to pay?"

"Yes," Oden answered readily, but he didn't give a direct answer.

The rain poured down, and Lu Yuan remained silent.

Oden then added, "So you'd better be quick."

The last vestige of relief in Lu Yuan's heart vanished.

The longer Rex stays above the sixth rank, the greater the chance he will become the very thing he despises.

And his path will be completely blocked at this moment.

The root of all this was that small crown he personally handed out.

So he needs to be faster, even faster.

Hopefully, Lake can hold on for longer.

The first wave of suppression from the newborn taboo did not crush the swarming insects.

So it quickly changed its approach.

It realized that its authority didn't seem to have much effect on the swarming insects before it, so it began to frantically spread its black and white domain outwards.

The moment those patterns touched the sea of ​​insects, the shells of the swarming insects were covered with black and white patterns wherever they passed.

The insects covered in black and white stripes slowed down one after another, finally hovering in mid-air, no longer obeying Rick's commands, and wobbling as they fell into the sea of ​​blood.

Since we cannot eliminate these swarming insects, we will forcibly extract the meager power of authority from them.

The newborn taboo's consciousness was still somewhat hazy, but it was able to sense the increasing threats around it through its instincts.

It needs strength, it needs food, it needs time.

The insect bodies enveloped in immortality were crushed by the domain, and the faint golden light within them was extracted.

It is constantly draining the power and authority from the bodies of the swarming insects.

In this way, as each inch of territory unfolded, a swarm of insects broke free from Rex's control.

But what was the cost? It was that the spread of the newly emerging forbidden domain was significantly slowed down.

This is the effect that Laker wanted.

Of course, Rex could also sense that the minuscule authority within the devoured swarm of insects was being stripped away.

But this is also the result that Laker wanted.

Because the sixth-order authority bestowed upon him by Lu Yuan is immortality.

Yes, an authority that has no offensive capabilities whatsoever.

Therefore, Rick has almost no way to use his authority to intimidate.

But if we can't confront it head-on, what can?

A cruel smile appeared on Rek's face, hidden among the endless swarm of insects.

Immortality is achievable.

Eat up, eat more.

The insect clouds on the horizon are still arriving in droves.

Instead of letting them swarm forward, Rex divided the sea of ​​insects into dozens or even hundreds of streams, which continuously fell into the densest part of the black and white field.

They surged forward from all directions in waves, engulfing those in front and taking their place behind.

In this way, the void left by the insects that had lost control was quickly filled by the endless number of swarming insects.

Endless flesh and blood collided with endless insects, and golden light continuously fell into the flesh and blood.

It seems that Lake has fallen into a disadvantageous position.

However, Rex showed no intention of resisting. He continued to control a large number of insects, which continued to spread into the area.

From a distance, it looks as if the newly born taboo is constantly feeding and devouring.

It seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, while Lake seemed to have reached the end of its road and was only fit to become its nourishment.
