Starting with Proficiency Panel Chapter 278

Chen Guanzhen was full of disbelief: "You want to kill me, can't I run?" The eerie powers in the sky were changing inexplicably. Lu Ren was already thinking of retreating, but if he didn't kill Chen Guanzhen, he wouldn't be able to eat well or sleep with both eyes closed. Ten Earth Knot, release! Under Chen Guanzhen's shocked gaze, Lu Ren's form changed rapidly, transforming into an Eighteen-foot Bodhisattva, displaying the Sixth Present Action Land Phoenix Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect in front of Chen Guanzhen. Seeing Lu Ren's transformation, Chen Guanzhen reacted instantly, shocked: "How did you manage to materialize the Spiritual Dharma Aspect in the real world?" Looking at the spirited Chen Guanzhen, Lu Ren did not answer. Instead, he said in surprise: "Aren't you about to die?" Before Chen Guanzhen could speak, Lu Ren's wings behind him gave a slight flutter, and in an instant, he sliced through the air. A series of sonic booms erupted, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Chen Guanzhen. Chen Guanzhen wanted to move, but his body suddenly stiffened, and the Bright Sun True Qi buried within him was directly detonated by Lu Ren's will. His chest burst with a spray of blood. Chen Guanzhen's eyes bulged, full of disbelief: "You really can trigger True Qi with the power of Borrowing False to True Cultivation?" This was truly stepping onto the path, not like him, seeking external forces and using the changes of heaven and earth to integrate human essence into one's strength. Had he become a part of the Heterodox Path? Chen Guanzhen, disregarding the explosive wounds on his body, grabbed Lu Ren's arm that was lifting him. "Is your Qi Seed also taken from others?" Lu Ren said indifferently: "To form a Qi Seed organ in the Dantian, of course, it requires external aids." Chen Guanzhen showed a trace of ridicule on his face: "You are one of us, why are you pushing me away?" Lu Ren smiled slightly: "I think you've misunderstood. I simply think you're not a good person, so it's better to kill you early. Come, be good, stretch your head over." Chen Guanzhen looked somewhat overwhelmed. "Do you really have to do this?" "Really have to do this." Before the word 'this' was finished, Lu Ren dashed like an arrow, carrying a violent hurricane, appearing in front of Chen Guanzhen in an instant. His speed far surpassed before?! He wanted to form a seal with his hands, taking advantage of the lingering power of the Star Gathering Yang Array to perish together with Lu Ren, but was horrified to find that his body was completely immobile. The Bright Sun True Qi within him that was continuously destructive was completely detonated at this moment. "Did you think I talked so much to you just for a chat?" As Lu Ren's cold voice sounded, Chen Guanzhen looked up, only to see a large hand cover his face. Then, everything went black, a slight moment of pain, and he lost consciousness forever. With unimaginable strength, as if it could crush carbon into diamonds, the terrifying grip easily crushed Chen Guanzhen's head. Watching his spiritual consciousness attempting to escape. Lu Ren raised an eyebrow: "Trying to run?" With Heart Eye open, the world turned black and white, and colorful grids appeared. Lu Ren lightly reached out and poked at the line where Chen Guanzhen's spiritual consciousness was flying. He pointed in mid-air, and Chen Guanzhen's spiritual consciousness instantly shattered, dissipating into the world. "Ding, you have killed a key figure of great fortune in the Underworld, seemingly affecting the entire pattern of the Underworld. You have intercepted two strands of fortune, converting... conversion successful, you have gained two Skill Points." At the moment when Chen Guanzhen was completely annihilated, a thunderclap suddenly sounded. And the eerie powers gathering above unexpectedly dissipated quite a bit under this thunderclap. Then, Lu Ren felt as if the surrounding air was pressing down on him. Heaven and earth don't tolerate?! Lu Ren's face was heavy, roaring inwardly, damn it. Did he just kill the protagonist of the Underworld?! "Ding, it was detected that the host is being rejected by the Underworld's rules. The system has detected the real world and deployed a Dimension Anchor, would you like to return immediately?" Lu Ren refused immediately. "Ding, the system will forcefully return you in half an hour, please be prepared." Seeing the countdown appear in his field of vision, Lu Ren's mouth twitched. I was about to go to the Human King's Tomb!! Lu Ren was really eager to see what was inside the Door of Rebirth in the Human King's Tomb. He sighed, turned and walked a few steps, but suddenly found his movements becoming sluggish. As time progressed, the rejection of the Underworld against him began to intensify, and the entire world was blocking him. Eventually, even breathing might become difficult. In the sky above, the eerie power suddenly condensed into a cluster of black light, then, under Lu Ren's horrified gaze, stretched out a huge tentacle. This tentacle grew countless eyeballs, various sized suckers constantly wriggled, seemingly devouring something. The shattered flesh of Guang Chengzi swayed with this mountain-like tentacle, continuously being absorbed and gathered. A devouring mouth appeared between the tentacle's suckers, with sharp teeth interlocking, constantly opening and closing, absorbing flesh and blood. Guang Chengzi's enraged voice suddenly sounded, followed by an extremely terrified scream, his spiritual body also being constantly devoured by this tentacle. Lu Ren only glanced at it briefly, frowning as he quickly looked away, his mind buzzing. "Ding, you observed part of Doye Jala's body. Your spirit cannot withstand the mental impact carried by high-dimensional beings." "Ding, you observed part of Doye Jala's body. The information flow from the opponent is too vast, with many incomprehensible information points destroying your spirit." "Ding, system auto-blocking in progress... blocking successful." High-dimensional beings. Lu Ren's expression was heavy, no longer looking at the tentacle appearing in the sky, realizing this was something he couldn't touch at the moment. If an ordinary person stared directly at Doye Jala's tentacle, their spiritual consciousness would likely collapse instantly. He quickly turned and left the city, breaking through Juliu City's protective barrier, heading to the previously dug site outside the barrier, his predetermined excavation point. Not only had Doye Jala's tentacle appeared in Juliu City, but with its power, the tentacle had likely extended into the six castles of the Underworld laid out by Guang Chengzi. Guang Chengzi was rather unlucky too, as Chen Guanzhen successfully stole a peach from him halfway. The opportunity for enlightenment was now right in front of him, needing only a little time to transform, perhaps truly entering the True Immortal Realm. Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net
