Starting with Proficiency Panel

Lu Ren slightly spread his wings and moved them.

In the next moment, he seemed to shrink space, stirring massive air currents as he appeared before Liu Changkui, smashing down with a punch that aimed directly at the head.

Boom!

The air exploded, thunder reverberating. The air parted like water flowers at the moment Lu Ren punched, spreading like ripples.

Liu Changkui, somewhat prepared, let out a roar, crossing his arms and raising them upwards.

Bang!

An unimaginable shaking force spread through him, cracking the ground beneath his feet instantly. The densely packed cracks spread like a spider web in all directions, truly terrifying to the extreme.

Blocked it!

Not only was Liu Changkui mentally excited, but many Martial Path experts watching intently from afar were also secretly shocked.

"What are you happy about?"

Lu Ren's deep voice sounded, and before Liu Changkui could react, the other hand suddenly grabbed his crossed arms, clamping them like an iron hoop, rendering him immobile.

Holding him aloft, Lu Ren's remaining three arms began high-speed punching with the Phoenix Beak technique.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!!!

The intense, rapid sound like an engine's vibration spread continuously as Liu Changkui endured Lu Ren's assault like a sandbag.

Each punch sank deep into Liu Changkui's body, leaving a clear fist seal. Before the seal faded, the next punch fell, further deepening it.

While Lu Ren was beating Liu Changkui and attracting the attention of the city's top martial artists, tens of thousands of residences in Juliu City suddenly saw fireworks rising into the sky, forming a strange pattern before slowly dissipating.

An elderly man, frail, leaning on a cane and dressed in coarse cloth, looked up at the suddenly bursting fireworks, stunned for a while, then tears streamed down his face, full of guilt, as he turned to the old woman tidying up indoors.

"Old man, why are you crying?"

The old woman, folding blankets, saw the old man standing in the courtyard weeping. She hurriedly put down her work and walked over to ask with concern.

Seeing the concern on the old woman's face, the old man choked, "Little Lin, I hope you don't blame me. I'm doing this for the entire Human Race."

The old woman's face was full of confusion, then she saw a cold gleam flash, and the cane in the old man's hand had become a cold, gleaming short sword.

The short sword slashed, instantly piercing the old woman's heart.

Seeing the disbelief and puzzled expression on the old woman's face, the old man, tears streaming, held her gently and said, "Little Lin, don't worry, once I'm done, I'll come down to be with you. You go first, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing the old man's words, the light in the old woman's eyes quickly dimmed, and her life force quickly disappeared.

No longer puzzled, only serenity and peace remained on her face.

The old man stood slowly, withdrew the short sword, took a large brush, and drew blood from the old woman's heart, starting to paint strange patterns in the courtyard and write talismans deeply imprinted in his body's instincts.

By the time the courtyard was covered in eerie patterns, the pungent smell of blood was suffocating.

The previously clear night sky turned dark as the last stroke of the Blood Talisman was completed, and the courtyard became shrouded in a cold wind, with the temperature suddenly dropping by over ten degrees, as if it had connected to the Underworld, drawing endless Yin Qi over.

Seeing the task accomplished, the old man took out the short sword, and without hesitation slit his own throat, lying beside the old woman with eyes full of a smiling gaze directed at her.

This same scene unfolded in over sixty thousand residences across the city.

Executors killed their own loved ones: parents, husbands, wives, children.

After drawing blood from the heart and covering the room with strange Blood Talismans, overwhelmed by guilt and unable to bear the moral burden,

most slit their throats after completing the act, leaving only a few cold-hearted individuals who went to predetermined meeting points after finishing.

In the center of Juliu City, at the Governor's Mansion, bodies lay strewn everywhere. In the midst of Liaoyuan, countless expert assassins infiltrated the Governor's Mansion, slaughtering Liu Changkui's entire family while the military defenses were weak.

Amidst the bloodshed, a young girl walked in through the mansion's gates.

She wore a pure white dress, barefoot, with waist-length hair gently swaying in the wind. Her peerless features were calm.

Judging by her appearance, she seemed no more than sixteen.

She walked to the central room of the Governor's Mansion, at the very core of Juliu City's central axis.

At this moment, countless blood patterns and strange runes filled the space.

Liaoyuan's devotees knelt around, a dagger placed beside each of them.

The girl showed no aversion to her surroundings, calmly walking to the center of the strange runes and standing there.

After a while, she slowly raised her hand, revealing endless zeal in her tranquil eyes.

"All-powerful Doye Jala, a humble supplicant offers this meager gift in the hope that you will bestow Divine Power, to save mankind!"

In her emotional fervor, the girl's pale skin, stimulated by Qi and Blood, revealed countless blood-red tattoos on her body.

She shed her dress, as the tattoos on her body emitted a faint crimson glow.

"The sacrifice begins now!!"

As the girl softly chanted, the tattoos seemed to come alive, writhing like worms and crawling over her entire body.

Szz, szz, szz!!

The tattoos, as if containing intense heat, scorched the girl's skin into countless blood blisters, the temperature growing more intense, as her body entirely dissolved into a strange force, seemingly merging with the runes engraved in the hall.

Buzz!!

The magnetic aura in the air suddenly changed, the Governor's Mansion's central hall, along with over fifty thousand resident points in Juliu City, saw the strange runes start to glow faint red.

In the Governor's Mansion, the prepared warriors saw the array activate, and without hesitation, picked up the daggers, chanting "All-powerful Doye Jala, please save the Human Race," with expressions of fervent devotion, calmly stabbing the daggers into their hearts, then swiftly withdrawing them.

Blood gushed, splattering everywhere.

Yet it was entirely absorbed by the strange runes in the central hall, within a breath drawing all of the warriors' blood dry, turning them into eerie dried corpses.

The magnetic field throughout Juliu City suddenly became chaotic.

Lu Ren, who had been enjoying beating Liu Changkui, suddenly paused, his expression suspicious as he looked at the sky above Juliu City.

Through Heart Eye Observation, the once bright and expansive Yang aura in Juliu City's magnetic field had vanished, as endless Yin Attribute Magnetic Energy from unknown sources began to churn, swiftly consuming the Yang Attribute Magnetic Energy.
