Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

On the way, the three of them were still talking and laughing as they headed towards Taixu Mountain.

But Lu Ren felt a little uneasy in his heart. He looked up at the gloomy sky and it seemed like it was going to rain soon.

"Tongzi, don't you think something is wrong?" Lu Ren said to the system worriedly.

"Ah, isn't everything fine on the road?" The system didn't hear the worry in Lu Ren's tone at all.

"I can feel the Herrscher core in my body beating violently. This is not a good sign." Lu Ren said seriously.

"We are on a mission, don't worry, host. How can this threaten your existence?" the system said disapprovingly.

"What is our mission?" Lu Ren immediately asked the system.

"Of course, what was it?" The system got stuck halfway through the sentence, and it realized that they did not receive any mission, they were simply summoned.

When Lu Ren saw that the system suddenly stopped talking, he understood what was going on and his expression became even more serious.

Suddenly, Chi Yuan and Xu Bai, who were walking in front, stopped. They saw a dark shadow standing in the middle of the road.

"Hello, can you please make way?" Xu Bai stepped forward and negotiated.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow raised his hand, and Xu Bai felt the crisis.

After a "bang" sound, Chi Yuan arrived in front of Xu Bai in time and took the punch.

Black Shadow and Red Kite began to fight. At the beginning, Red Kite had the upper hand, but gradually Black Shadow gained an absolute advantage.

Xu Bai was shocked. You know, Fu Hua was at the peak of her strength at that time, but the black shadow still had the upper hand. What was going on?

"Host, I warn you to stay away from this black shadow as soon as possible. The black shadow is not a nobody." Xu Bai's system reminded him coldly.

"I know, but Chi Yuan is in danger now, and I won't give up on her." Although Xu Bai knew that the black shadow was far beyond his ability to contend with, he would not abandon Chi Yuan alone and run away.

"You are a good captain. I approve of you." Lu Ren nodded after hearing his conversation with the system.

"Then I'll go ahead." Lu Ren picked up his sword and rushed forward. When the black shadow saw Lu Ren coming, it immediately changed its target and flew towards Lu Ren.

"Is he coming here for me?" Lu Ren speculated based on the black shadow's posture.

"It's very likely, host, do you remember what I told you?" The system mentioned what it had said before.

Lu Ren's brows tightened when he heard this, "This is the enemy we have to deal with, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Ren slashed at the black shadow fiercely, but he dodged it nimbly. After dodging, the black shadow quickly adjusted its posture and pounced directly towards Lu Ren.

Lu Ren originally wanted to swing his sword to defend himself, but suddenly the scenery in front of him changed and he was in an unfamiliar place.

"Xu Bai, where is Kiana?" Chi Yuan covered one hand and leaned towards Xu Bai. She looked very embarrassed.

"Chi Yuan, you are injured. Let's go back and find Cang Xuan." Xu Bai was shocked. He didn't expect that Chi Yuan was injured this time.

"I'm fine, but where's Kiana?" Chi Yuan waved at Xu Bai with his uninjured hand, "Hurry up and tell me."

Xu Bai hesitated again and again, and finally he said: "Qiana...she has gone back."

"How is that possible? Has she encountered any problems?" Chi Yuan didn't believe what Xu Bai said.

"This is because Kiana and her companions are in trouble, and she wants to go back to save them." Xu Bai made up a lie in a panic.

"The black shadow began to reject her here." Xu Bai continued to weave the lie he had just told.

Chi Yuan was skeptical, but he was the only one who understood what was going on with Kiana summoned by Xu Bai.

"In that case, let's go back."

"What's going on with the system?" Xu Bai asked the system.

"The system is upgrading. The system is upgrading." The system just kept repeating this sentence.

"You are always like this. You upgrade as soon as there is a problem. I have never seen you achieve anything significant." Xu Bai said helplessly, and then he quickly caught up with Chi Yuan.

At this time, Lu Ren was walking in this strange place, and he felt that the surrounding environment was familiar.

"I don't know where that black shadow went. Didn't I come out to respond to a call? How did I end up here?" Lu Ren didn't know what to say.

The place changed again, and after Lu Ren felt a burst of strong light, his footsteps had already stepped on the moon.

"How come I'm here again in the blink of an eye?" Lu Ren had no idea the reason for the change of scene. Was he trying to show off that he could recreate Armstrong's moon landing one to one?

Lu Ren relieved himself of the tension and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to step forward, a sharp arrow flew towards him.

Lu Ren shot down the sharp arrow with his sword. He looked back and saw a neutral face.

The golden pupils were staring at Lu Ren, and the long lavender hair was scattered on the shoulders, and it seemed that he came prepared.

"Who are you?" Lu Ren shouted. He felt a sense of familiarity from this man.

The man didn't answer. He just tapped his feet on the ground and flew towards Lu Ren.

The man kicked Lu Ren. Lu Ren held the sword in front of him, thinking he could block the man's attack, but Lu Ren found that the man's foot passed through the sword and kicked him directly in the chest.

Lu Ren took a few steps back. At this time, Lu Ren was somewhat glad that he had two lumps of meat in front of him to help him offset some of the force.

Lu Ren raised his sword again and swung it at the man. The man did not dodge, but easily caught Lu Ren's sword with his hands.

Lu Ren's eyes widened. He tried to exert force, but the big sword that the man was holding did not move at all, no matter how hard Lu Ren tried.

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Can I really do this?" Veins popped out on Lu Ren's forehead. It seemed that he had used up all his strength.

"Give up, you can't possibly defeat me." The man spoke for the first time, but his voice was also neutral.

"I thought you were mute. How would you know if you don't try?" Lu Ren said unyieldingly.

"Relying on the broken Herrscher core in your body?" the man said disdainfully, and then let go of Lu Ren's greatsword.

Lu Ren was stunned. He didn't expect that his Herrscher core was actually a damaged version. It seemed that the system was hiding something from him.

"The Herrscher core in your body is indeed very powerful, even though it has lost most of its authority." the man continued.

"What a pity..." The man suddenly stopped talking. It seemed that he didn't want to say what caused it to be destroyed.

"This Herrscher core may become a stumbling block in the future. If I can't kill you, I will destroy it first." The man muttered to himself, then looked at Lu Ren.

"No, it's already a battle-damaged version. You still want to destroy it. That's insane." Lu Ren said in shock.

At this time, Lu Ren found that his feet could no longer move, and his hands were restrained by a black shadow that came from nowhere.

He stared at the man, who was approaching Lu Ren step by step, and his hand had already reached Lu Ren's chest.

"Uh, can you please not touch that place? It's a bit itchy." Lu Ren said embarrassedly at this time.

The man's hand froze and his face became stiff, then he reached directly into Lu Ren's body.

At this time, Lu Ren felt chest tightness and a kaleidoscope of thoughts began to appear before his eyes.
