The system is the proficiency panel

At this critical moment, the earth suddenly shook violently, and countless cracks appeared on the ground. The red-robed man suddenly looked up and saw countless thick vines bursting out of the ground, wrapping around the altar in the center of the square like giant pythons. Towering ancient trees grew out of thin air, their intertwined branches and leaves casting a shadow over the entire square.

"who!"

The red-robed man shouted, his face twisted in anger at the interruption of the ritual. He raised the human-skinned magic book high in the air, and blood-red flames gushed from the pages, burning the approaching vines to ash.

At that moment, a brilliant sword light streaked across the sky, falling like a meteor. Wherever the sword light passed, the runes of the blood-red magic circle shattered, and the defensive barrier was torn apart as easily as thin paper.

"No!"

The red-robed man's eyes were bloodshot as he watched helplessly as his carefully arranged ceremony was ruined. He suddenly raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on the figure floating in the air.

Lin Ji stood in mid-air, ignoring the resentful gaze of the red-robed man below him. Instead, he used spatial teleportation. The elf girl, Liris, who was in the center of the magic circle, flashed and instantly appeared beside Lin Ji.

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Ji spoke softly, gathering emerald green wood spirit energy from his fingertips and gently tapping the wound where Li Ruisi had been pierced by the iron nail. The wound healed at a visible speed, and her pale face regained its color.

Liris blinked her emerald eyes, watching in disbelief as her injuries healed. She looked up at her savior, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, my lord."

Lin Ji nodded slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on the red-robed man below. He saw the man forming seals with his hands, and a huge blood-red fireball was taking shape.

"court death."

Lin Ji snorted coldly and casually condensed a spiritual flying sword. The sword flew through the air, accurately shattering the fireball, and its remaining momentum continued to strike the red-robed man's throat.

"Your name is Liris, right?"

Lin Ji asked as he controlled the flying sword to chase.

The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, but soon realized why the other party came there.

"Yes, sir. Was it Valeno who asked you to come and rescue me?"

"Well, stay well."

Lin Ji responded briefly.

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot. The next moment, Lin Ji appeared behind the fleeing red-robed man. The cold light of the Sunset Sword flashed, and the man's head fell off.

However, what was strange was that the head that rolled to the ground was still laughing wildly.

"Foolish! I have already been granted immortality by the gods!"

The headless body was still able to move, waving its staff and casting magic to attack Lin Ji.

Lin Ji was also curious when he heard this. He wanted to see how strong the immortality bestowed by the unknown god was, so he detonated the sword intent in the other party's body.

In an instant, countless sharp sword intents burst out from the man's body. Without even a scream, his body was torn into atomic-level basic particles, and even his soul was completely annihilated.

After sensing the other party's complete demise, Lin Ji shook his head. This immortality was completely incomparable to Feng Tian's. It seemed that the god the other party believed in did not value him very much.

Lin Ji turned, the Canyang Sword in his hand gleaming with a silvery-white light. The space-time emanating from the sword seemed to condense into something substantial. He took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy surged forth. Wherever the sword's edge passed, space was torn apart like thin paper.

Split the sky!

Wherever the sword flashed, space shattered, revealing a pitch-black void. The blood-red runes on the magic circle trembled violently as if encountering a natural enemy, and were then ruthlessly swallowed by the spatial cracks.

"No! A sacrifice to my Lord!"

A black-robed cultist roared in despair, attempting to pounce on the remaining soul orbs. However, as soon as his body touched the edge of the spatial rift, it was swallowed by the pitch-black fissure.

Lin Ji watched the last few soul light balls being swallowed by the space crack, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

At the moment the magic circle completely disappeared, Lin Ji keenly sensed that the ever-present prying gaze had finally dissipated. His tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

"Fortunately, we didn't face that deity directly..."

Lin Ji secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although his current strength was enough to surpass those of his peers, he was still powerless against a true god. He would have to wait until he reached the Golden Core stage before he could resist.

"grown ups……"

Liris's timid voice brought Lin Ji back to reality. The elf girl was looking at him worriedly with her emerald eyes, her slender fingers unconsciously twisted together. Her long silver hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, making her delicate face look even paler.

"never mind."

Lin Ji put away the Sunset Sword and gave the girl a reassuring smile. He noticed that although Liris had recovered physically, she was still mentally weak, so he took out a bottle of tranquilizing pills from his storage ring and handed it to her.

"Take this, it'll make you feel better."

Liris gratefully accepted the jade bottle and carefully poured out a fragrant pill. The pill melted in her mouth, and she felt a warm current surge through her body, her tense nerves finally relaxing.

At this moment, a violent energy fluctuation was heard in the distance. Lin Ji turned around and saw Xiao Ningxue and others fighting with the believers who had received the gods' blessings.

Xiao Ningxue's white hair danced like a silver waterfall during the battle. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and water formations blossomed beneath the enemy's feet. Although the cultists had gained immortality, they were constantly strangled and reborn within the formations, wailing in agony.

"These cultists."

A trace of disgust flashed in Xiao Ningxue's eyes. The magic formula in her hand changed, and the water in the formation instantly condensed into countless ice needles, nailing a cultist to the ground.

Daoyan roamed the battlefield like a ghost, her foresight allowing her to easily dodge all attacks. Whenever a cultist attempted to sneak attack her companions, she would always warn them in time.

"Left, three steps."

She used her spiritual sense to alert Yun Shitian, who was not far away. Upon hearing this, the golden-armored warrior immediately turned sideways, just in time to avoid a dark red energy beam.

"Thanks!"

Yun Shitian grinned, his golden armor gleaming in the moonlight. He punched out with the force of thunder, piercing a cultist's chest directly.

"But why can't these guys be killed?"

Feng Tian snorted coldly, and flames around him suddenly surged.

"Then burn them until not even ashes are left!"

His flames seemed to be particularly effective against cultists, and those enemies who were burned to ashes never resurrected.

Lin Ji brought Liris to the edge of the battlefield, reuniting the elf siblings while calmly observing the battle. Through this battle, he gained a clearer understanding of the power comparison between the two worlds.

"A seventh-ring mage is equivalent to a foundation-building state in the realm of mind, and my current strength should exceed that of an ordinary ninth-ring mage."

He silently evaluated it in his mind.

"Currently, cultivators have an advantage in basic attributes. Their souls and bodies are stronger, and they can resist most strange negative magic..."

"But magicians do have more diverse methods. From what I've read in books, they can do many things that Kaiyang Star cultivators can't. It's said that achieving immortality is easy for them."

He glanced across the battlefield and saw a cultist trying to cast a transformation spell to turn Feng Tian into a small animal, but it unexpectedly failed and was burned to ashes by the flames.
