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

Both of those forces were directed toward the source of its authority, namely the crown of kings atop its head.

As the green world becomes clearer, the crown atop it is increasingly oppressed.

The next moment, the Crown of Kings began to tremble continuously.

The seven glass gems flashed wildly, the crown hummed, and the last remaining will within it was filled with resentment.

It is the source of the newborn forbidden power, but now it is also the noose that will strangle it.

Because the chains are aimed at it, the murals are also aimed at it, and the world it summons is still aimed at it.

Everything left it no way out.

The seven glass gems trembled wildly.

However, without warning, the Crown of Kings, which was fought over by countless forces, shattered with a deafening roar, breaking cleanly and decisively.

For a moment, the entire battlefield froze in place.

No one expected that the new students would dare to be so bold.

AM, atop the giant wall, was also frozen in place.

He had seen many grand occasions, but he had never heard of a forbidden being personally crushing the source of his power.

Meanwhile, Rek, who was still controlling the swarm of insects, also spared a sliver of his attention.

He knew the power of that crown better than anyone else, because his power came from it.

"Insane! They've all gone mad!" Oden's voice trembled. "Does it even know what it's doing? Behind the Crown of Kings lies a being that has been dormant for countless years. And now it's shattered...it's going to alert the immortals!"

Lu Yuan also realized that the situation in Bronze City was developing in an unprecedented direction.

The shattered crowns did not fall to the ground. Starry flesh swept up, enveloping all the fragments, and golden light continuously seeped from the flesh, strand by strand, eventually merging into this enormous body.

The chains binding the crown suddenly snapped.

But as it broke, it swirled back with wisps of golden light, dragging those strands of light into the darkness behind the city wall.

Clearly, the city of chains was not empty-handed.

Meanwhile, a sudden change occurred on Lu Yuan's side.

The negligible effect of that golden token vanished completely.

The golden crown on his head shattered with a crash.

The borrowed power has shattered.

Only the person on the wall remained frozen in place.

The unfolded shadow of the wall stopped in the center of the battlefield, a blank face facing the churning mass of flesh and blood.

He planned for so long, waiting for a crown, until the crown shattered.

He got nothing.

He didn't even get a fragment.

Within the mottled murals, an ancient aura surged violently, ultimately fading into a distant sigh.

As the fog dissipated and the shadows on the walls dimmed, the murals, along with the gray fog, gradually faded from the battlefield.

Yes, the person on the wall left this place in this inexplicable way.

With the mural gone, the man on the wall's plan completely failed, and he was no longer willing to stay in this place.

However, as the people on the wall left, the giant city in the sky showed no sign of leaving.

Not only were they still there, but after the chains binding the Crown of Kings broke, even more chains surged out from the depths of darkness, changed direction, and rushed towards the mass of starry flesh in the center of the battlefield.

Although the Crown of Kings was shattered, it did not intend to leave, for there was something it desired within this body of flesh and blood.

The sound of the golden crown on Lu Yuan's head shattering traveled along the invisible lines to the sea of ​​insects that surrounded him.

The golden crown on Rick's head swayed, but it held on for a few more breaths.

Unfortunately, borrowed power must eventually be repaid.

A few breaths later, the small crown shattered into pieces, turning into golden dust that dissipated into the heavy rain.

The immortal protection has finally come to an end.

The change happened almost instantly.

Above the swarm of insects, the faint golden light slowly faded. Without protection, the insects disintegrated in swathes amidst the aftershocks of the collision, with tens of thousands dying in one fell swoop.

The edges of the insect cloud were constantly collapsing. The remaining water from the Sea of ​​Knowledge and the phantom of the city wall hanging high in the sky, even with just a slight tremor, caused the swarming insects to die in droves. On the surface of the sea of ​​blood, a thick layer of corpses of the swarming insects quickly rose.

However, the swarming insects showed no intention of fleeing.

The wall of insects still hung between Lu Yuan and the forbidden place. The first layer died one after another, but there was always a continuous stream of insects swarming on top of it.

The insect clouds on the horizon continued to gather, crashing into the battlefield below in droves.

But even more swarming insects were constantly suppressing the flesh and blood that were trying to spread outwards from the depths of the inner city below.

The humming sounds of the horns blended together, layer upon layer, drowning out the sound of the rain pouring down.

That was the song of the insect swarm.

Leike, suspended in the center of the insect swarm, could hear it clearly.

The dissolution of each swarming insect, through the connection, falls into his perception.

The countless swarming insects gradually dimmed, and the world he perceived shrank accordingly.

Then, a deep weariness seeped from my bones, as if I had been working hard for days without being able to close my eyes.

Strangely, the pathways within him showed no intention of going out of control.

The swarm obeyed his every thought, rushing to fill the gaps and facing death without the slightest hesitation.

He still had control, but Lake was already starting to feel the strain.

Rick knew in his heart that he had reached his limit.

His consciousness was gradually fading, while a new consciousness was being born in this half-human, half-insect body.

"Lu Yuan." Auden's voice suddenly broke in, tinged with urgency, "Your friend is dying. His pathway is merging with him, and if this continues, he'll become completely part of the swarm of insects. You either take him away now, or wait for a new anomaly to appear in this city."

Before Lu Yuan could reply, the sky suddenly changed.

The intertwined roots and the black waves exerted their force at the same moment.

The balance that had been maintained over the sea has shattered completely. The sea of ​​knowledge and that verdant world have truly collided.

Those previous skirmishes were merely frictions at the border. This time, however, it's a complete crushing of power between the two realms.

The half-black sea surface almost turned upside down.

The words emerging from the seawater were largely stained black, with hardly any trace of color visible. The blackness, enveloping the remaining colors, crashed head-on into the greenery.
