Starting with Proficiency Panel

This time, Chen Guanzhen was anxious, his hands repeatedly forming gestures, and the small flag underground flashed with golden light. Due to the extremely active magnetic field energy, a region of lightning formed from thousands of points.

Under extreme stimulation, the golden light shot fiercely into the sky, intertwining and entangling with the strange red light, canceling each other out.

Guang Chengzi seemed to be distracted by the energy in other areas, and as the scarlet light continued to rise, it only formed a state of mutual struggle with Chen Guanzhen.

The entire Juliu City was almost in chaos.

Far away on the edge of Zhuan Kong Temple, Lu Ren exuded a harmonious magnetic field around himself, isolating all the chaotic energies, still watching the confrontation leisurely.

The contest for Dao is not something easily obtained.

Lu Ren's gaze remained calm. If any one of them survived, it would be him they faced.

It's not that he's taking advantage, but Chen Guanzhen wants to fight. Since he wants to fight, he must be prepared for life and death.

In the end, the entire magnetic field in Juliu City seemed to be stirred, reaching an extremely active state.

Then, with a rumbling sound, the small flag he inserted into the ground emitted blazing golden light, rising into the air, hovering.

Each small flag spewed golden light columns flickering with thunder, finally converging in mid-air, becoming a gigantic golden beam as thick as a house, blasting towards Guang Chengzi's flesh.

Guang Chengzi was not to be outdone, emitting scarlet light from his flesh, with infinite evil power dispersing and bursting wildly, then like an opposing wave, the scarlet beam fell from above.

Boom!!

In Lu Ren's eyes, it was as if the world lost its truth, turning into black and white.

Seeing this, Lu Ren simply closed his eyes, observing the world with his heart eye. With his current realm and strength, heart eye was actually a higher-dimensional observation vision, capturing everything eyes cannot see.

As his realm and strength improved and his spiritual power elevated, the vision observed by the heart eye became clearer.

It was as if countless grids appeared between heaven and earth, black threads spread all over the world.

But Lu Ren chose to ignore this, focusing on the most fundamental information through the distorted scene.

Mutual destruction?!

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, then immediately denied it.

Putting the remaining spiced meat into his mouth, drinking wine as he ate, then flickering his figure as if shrinking ground to inches, instantly arriving by Chen Guanzhen's side.

Lu Ren stopped suddenly, the massive airflow wave from his automatic movement turning into a gust that took a while to calm down.

By this moment, the Chen Guanzhen lying on the ground was already emaciated, breathing rapidly.

When he saw Lu Ren, his eyes instantly widened, opening his mouth to say something, but could not speak a word.

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, teasingly said, "Taoist Chen, you look rather weak now, don't you resemble someone who has achieved Dao?"

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Guanzhen's face, finally mustering strength to hoarsely say, "Difficult, too difficult. I've been stuck in this state too long. Even with the will to advance, I've lost the courage to risk everything for a life-and-death breakthrough."

Lu Ren had no good impressions of Chen Guanzhen.

Strictly speaking, this guy was an opportunist, wanting to snatch the Daoist fruit others spent centuries sacrificing for, without considering his own capabilities.

As if using a Star Gathering Yang Array alone could suffice.

"If you were one or two realms higher, maybe you'd have the chance to break through, reopening your universe, and continue on the path of cultivation."

Chen Guanzhen shook his head slightly, "I just don't want to be trapped in the Underworld. Of the All Heavens and Great Realms, if I have to stay in the Underworld, the Kunlun Immortal Realm is also a good choice."

Lu Ren's eyes flickered: "Kunlun Immortal Realm?"

Hearing Lu Ren's confused tone, Chen Guanzhen struggled to laugh: "Kunlun Immortal Realm has become a legend. Since the old man Shakyamuni passed away, Kunlun Immortal Realm has only been a tale, no trace ever found again."

"Rebirth Gate, huh."

A smile appeared on Lu Ren's face, taking out a key from his bosom.

Upon seeing the key in Lu Ren's hand, Chen Guanzhen's expression was extremely colorful, a feeling ready to throw up arose spontaneously.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed, roaring: "Heavens, you're toying with me!!"

"Causality cycles, a drink and a peck, destiny is predestined. Taoist Chen, that's what you said."

Chen Guanzhen sighed upon hearing this: "My Dao foundation is damaged, indeed the saying of destiny is hard to fathom. Those who try to spy into it are instead toyed with by fate."

Chen Guanzhen continued: "Friend, outside Juliu City, in Luo Family Castle, there I placed the next part of the map to the Human King's Tomb."

Lu Ren's eyes flickered but said nothing more.

What others searched for hundreds of years without complete collection, he, by sheer chance, without much effort, had the three parts of maps and a key naturally fall into his hands.

This kind of serendipity, Lu Ren absolutely wouldn't believe.

Yet...

Lu Ren glanced at the hint from his system.

He still had a little less than half a year before leaving the Underworld. Now with Guang Chengzi stirring storms in the Mortal World, and in the Underworld, due to his vigorous Qi and Blood, adjusting mighty Yang righteousness, with all martial arts strength consolidated.

Standing in the Underworld is like a thousand-watt bulb lighting up in the darkness.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. The Underworld is extremely strange, who knows what bizarre creatures are hidden. If careless, even he might get ambushed.

When he was weak it was manageable, but now as his strength deepens, along his path, he attracted unknown demons and anomalies.

Considering this, Lu Ren suddenly sighed, it seems he really needs to visit the Human King's Tomb.

Since Liaoyuan is controlled by Guang Chengzi, then searching for the Human King's Tomb maybe his contingency.

Watching Chen Guanzhen slowly closing eyes, quietly awaiting death.

Lu Ren shook his head slightly, softly uttered: "This world's Underworld has become an Underworld, the people of the Mortal World wanting to survive in such an environment, is truly too difficult."

Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Realms theory, Lu Ren has begun to somewhat believe in.

But such grand schemes, Lu Ren would never believe there was no hidden manipulator behind the scenes.

Chen Guanzhen remained silent, if not for the faint breathing, Lu Ren would think he was dead.

However...

Lu Ren approached, calmly said: "Taoist Chen, since you've resolved to die, why not let me help you along?"

Chen Guanzhen suddenly opened his eyes.

"Can you speak?"

Responding to his words, Lu Ren raised a foot and stomped down fiercely.

Bang!

Powerful force fractured in all directions, countless cobweb cracks spread outward up to five or six meters before slowly stopping.

Lu Ren glanced at the nimble Chen Guanzhen rolling like a lazy donkey ten meters away.

He looked up at the sky, that immense flesh had already shattered across the sky, a strange power causing those fragments to float in mid-air.

"Taoist Chen, why are you running?"

Chen Guanzhen looked incredulous: "You want to kill me, can't I run?"
