Lu Ren, following the system prompt, tightly gripped the sword hilt, focused his mind instantly, and felt a surge of abnormal power ready to burst forth from within the longsword.

Lu Ren raised his hand, wielding the door-board greatsword, and slashed forward in mid-air.

Boom!!

Filled with negative attribute energy, it erupted from the longsword in an instant. Then, like a massive torrent, it struck the wall, resembling a high explosive detonating. The entire castle's central hall slightly shook, and at the same time, the wall was forcefully blasted open by the dark gray energy torrent.

Simultaneously, Lu Ren felt a portion of his physical strength and spiritual power being drained away.

So that's how it is!

Lu Ren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, carefully examining the lord's greatsword in his hand. As his gaze concentrated, the information of the lord's greatsword was astonishingly illuminated by the system and presented in Lu Ren's vision.

"The lord's greatsword of Stophen from Furnace Castle, legend has it that it was forged from a meteorite gifted by the Aier Goddess. It was fired in the furnace for nearly a century before finally being cast into shape as the lord's greatsword. This sword once radiated with the power of light, but as time passed, it became contaminated by immortal power, completely tainting the once contained light power into evil strength."

Uncertain yet impressive.

The immortal power, it seems that this world has become this way, most likely because of the pursuit of immortality.

In the real world, those Qi refiners, in their pursuit of prolonged and enduring life, have countless insane ideas and experimental cases, not to mention this Chaos Rift Interstice World that naturally looks like a testing ground.

This door-board greatsword is almost taller than Lu Ren himself, and though using it doesn't present much of an issue, it's a bit awkward to wield such a giant weapon when accustomed to using a normal-style longsword.

He casually hoisted the greatsword onto his shoulder, ensuring there was nothing noteworthy around him, before turning and exiting Furnace Castle.

As for those hidden gold and silver treasures, Lu Ren was not interested at all, for this world was thoroughly malformed, and how many living people remained was uncertain.

Upon leaving Furnace Castle, Clara was still standing at the castle gate, staring blankly at the distant broken ring.

When she noticed Lu Ren coming out of Furnace Castle, she instinctively said, "Is there anything I can do for you, distant Wandering Soul... huh?!"

She stared at Lu Ren carrying the greatsword with shock, her finger trembled slightly as she pointed at the lord's greatsword: "Isn't this Stophen's sword?"

Lu Ren praised, "You have quite the eyes."

"But, weren't you just inside for half a day?"

Clara's words were somewhat weakened, unable to fathom how Lu Ren accomplished it.

"Indeed, half a day, the zone inside Furnace Castle is really vast. It took quite a bit of my time to explore."

Lu Ren was full of emotion, not even knowing if the people around here have nothing better to do, building such a massive structure for no reason. Some places, these folks haven't even set foot in their entire lives. If it wasn't for his curiosity still lingering, wanting to search and explore, this half-day could have been shortened even further.

"Alright, now tell me, where is your Bible placed in the ring?"

Clara restrained her shock and was both astonished and delighted; astonished at Lu Ren's astonishing power, delighted that such a strong figure appearing brings a breath of life to the entire Aier Land.

Lu Ren slowly walked to the side, looking up at the enormous, floating broken ring in the air.

"Your Aier Goddess, did she once reside up there?"

"Yes!" Talking about Aier Goddess made Clara's eyes sparkle.

"Even now, Aier Goddess is up there, but due to certain reasons, she is trapped, helplessly watching the world she governs fall into an apocalyptic crisis."

She looked at Lu Ren with devout eyes: "Honored Wandering Soul, we need your power."

Lu Ren said nothing.

"Where is the Bible placed?"

This time Clara did not hesitate at all: "In the central palace of the ring, and... Aier Goddess is there too, though getting there is troublesome. Many crises await and if you encounter anything hard to resolve, you can come to Furnace Castle, I'll help as much as I can."

Saying that, she pulled out a map from her bosom and handed it to Lu Ren.

"This is the route forward, I hope it aids you."

Lu Ren raised his brows but said nothing more, simply feeling extremely odd. Everything felt just like playing an RPG game, full of familiarity.

Even Clara seemed very much like a newbie guide.

"Thank you."

She pointed to the distant, floating enormous broken ring.

"There lies what you need, may Aier bless you, and may your martial luck be prosperous."

Alright, a typical plot flag-raising, raising all the flags, then returning victorious?

Lu Ren slowly walked to the side, glancing at the map and furrowing his brows.

The twists and turns on this map are far too many, if one were to follow the map, it would be like pushing through the map, carrying out a world-scale exploration task.

Overall, it's just like a typical modern RPG game, long and tedious, leveling up, upgrading, looting equipment, and finally challenging the world's evil, completing the world's saving action.

After briefly scanning the map, Lu Ren directly tossed it aside.

Clara was stunned: "What's wrong, honored Wandering Soul?"

"The path is too convoluted, entirely without reference value."

Without waiting any longer, Lu Ren stepped forward, and before Clara could say more, the ground slightly shook. The ground beneath him was solidly stamped into a pit, and he shot forth like a cannonball, subsequently unleashing unimaginable power, generating a series of sonic booms.

Before Clara's stunned expression could settle, she saw wings sprout from Lu Ren's back. The massive wings trembled slightly, and he soared towards the ring like a streaking dark shadow.

"A, birdman?!"

Clara's eyes were filled with shock, finding it hard to believe what she was witnessing.

What origin does this Wandering Soul have, besides possessing overwhelming power, he even has flight superpowers.

Hovering mid-air, Lu Ren rapidly gathered his wings after ascending to a certain altitude, spread his limbs in a star shape, trying to maximize surface area.

Merely stretching his wings tentatively, Lu Ren immediately felt the ambient pressure mechanism rising to another level.
