Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 528 - 525: Dimension Change and Overlap

Lu Ren's pupils kept losing focus, gathering, losing, and then gathering again, finally condensing into a point, staring unblinkingly ahead.

The world before his eyes seemed like all norms had completely collapsed. Buildings that should be on the ground were now floating and wandering in the sky. Those modern buildings resembled drifting islands, floating in all directions, surrounded by shattered roads, railings, and vehicles.

An electronic billboard even slowly floated past Lu Ren, displaying luxury product advertisements from the real world in a loop. Below, thick steel columns had several chaotic metal wires peeling off, yet still somehow carrying an electrical current.

Lu Ren and Sun Wukong stood on a broken semi-circular platform, scanning around, it seemed to be some kind of shopping plaza, surrounded by a few incomplete shops selling clothes and shoes.

The sky seemed boundless, even with Lu Ren's eyesight, he still couldn't see the end, as if above the nine heavens remained a perpetual blue, unable to glimpse the cosmos stars or the deep netherworld below. The inner image seemed only to have the upper and lower, with cities and mountains randomly floating.

Sun Wukong also stared blankly for a long time, finally withdrawing his gaze from a man-made waterfall of unknown origin and sighed, "Didn't expect that after such a long time, this place has turned into a ghostly appearance."

"When you came here back then, what kind of scene was it?" Lu Ren asked upon hearing this.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then said, "The buildings might have been different, like the ancient architectural style you define them as."

Lu Ren took a step forward, his body slowly drifting and landing on a corresponding piece of debris, like a reflection.

Sun Wukong looked up at Lu Ren who was seemingly standing safely on the ceiling, with a hint of ease in his expression, "This world is like that, every piece can be used as... err, what you call a gravity point. This world doesn't have any real sense of direction."

Lu Ren was adapting to the current inner image, every stone here, even a tiny pebble, had its own gravitational field, but the premise was to actively tread upon and contact them.

However, the size of the gravitational field is calculated based on the volume of these stones, the more stones there are, the stronger the gravitational field. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Just like the platform Lu Ren stood on earlier, its gravity was no different from the real world, and Lu Ren had also tested it, places larger in volume than the initial platform still didn't have any significant increase in gravitational strength, suggesting a boundary.

Watching Lu Ren struggle there for over an hour, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, "Although I know this place is indeed marvelous, but it's merely gravitational change, it's not worth your effort to struggle here for so long, besides, this place is not as safe as you imagine."

Lu Ren stopped testing, this place was not as simple as Sun Wukong said, this was a change in dimensions and space, in his ultra-strong perception, Lu Ren discovered that each time he stepped onto a broken stone, he entered a strange bubble, accompanied by changes subtly altering his perception.

This place was like a multidimensional twist, chaotic with seemingly no rules, everything appeared extremely disordered.

I imagine a person, wanting to scratch their nose with a hand, stomp a toilet with a foot, look at the sky with one eye, at the ground with another, and the hair growing wilfully according to its whim.

Lu Ren grounded himself, took a light breath, stared at the fragmented and floating world ahead, then gathered his strength again, purely relying on his physique, and threw a punch with the utmost power.

Boom!

Like a celestial sound shaking, thunderous rumblings continued, a visible murky white wave surged along the path of punching power, rolling away in all directions. The boxing strength so pure to the extreme obliterated buildings and stones along the way into powder.

The entire world seemed to tremble continuously with that punch, and the extremely intense airflow impact was released and spread outward circle after circle. The most shocking thing was that under this punch, it seemed to turn everything into a vacuum state, even the space seemed to warp.

All abnormal power was thoroughly annihilated into nothingness.

Sun Wukong watched with restless amazement, that punch indeed rendered him impressed. His eyes rippled briefly, then quickly calmed.

After all, everyone has their own path, if one can't solidify their pathway of cultivation, how can one take that step? Even if the chance for attaining Tao stands right before you, if you're incapable, the opportunity is of no use, right?

Lu Ren slowly withdrew his fist, the continuous rumbling thunder also gradually dissipating, and all chaotic waves seemed to finally begin calming down.

"Your punch indeed possesses the power of the Great Witch."

Sun Wukong, who somehow reached Lu Ren's side, looked at the evident pathway opening up ahead and said in an ethereal tone.

Lu Ren's expression was calm, "It's just a simple punch, nothing more."

He turned his head to glance at the nearby Sun Wukong, whose height barely reached 1.6 meters.

"You can do it too."

Sun Wukong shook his head slightly, "My fists don't have power as pure as yours, you've seen my practiced Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, my roots are ultimately in the Immortal Path."

He paused, with a hint of amusement on his face, "Do you know why I said earlier that although the inner image appears calm, it is actually very dangerous?"

Before Lu Ren could speak, the surrounding space suddenly solidified, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked upwards, which was below the platform they had been standing on.

Something was coming, causing those scattered stones to be continuously smashed apart.

"What is that?"

The inner image's shattered regions, under various unique gravitational forces, his perception extending outward was chaotic, limiting his ultra-perception strictly to this confined space.

Sun Wukong watched as regions below continuously being shattered and smashed, flipping everywhere, a massive shadow rapidly approaching them, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"How many years has it been, didn't expect this thing to still be here, and it seems like it's got better living conditions to grow this big."

When it got closer, Lu Ren finally saw clearly, it was an enormous black-scaled creature, nearly a hundred meters long, with four claws, no eyes, only a mouth full of crisscrossed teeth.

If forced to describe it, it would be like a water bear bug in the real world, a creature that can even survive in space.

"What do you call this thing?"

"Qilin."

"Ha?!" Lu Ren showed a surprised expression, pointing at the monster rushing at them with its mouth wide open incredulously, "Are you sure this thing is called Qilin by you?"
