Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1464  Racing Through The Trial!

Within the fourteenth layer, the oppressive flames pressed down like a sovereign decree from the heavens. The chaotic flame laws here were refined to an astonishing degree, flowing in structured currents that sought to crush anything unworthy of their domain. Yet Max advanced at a steady, unwavering pace. His steps were neither hurried nor hesitant. They carried quiet confidence.

The two existing buds on the flame branch of the Chaos Tree pulsed rhythmically as they absorbed the surrounding energy. The refined flame laws of the fourteenth layer streamed inward continuously, devoured and compressed without resistance. With every step Max took, the pressure that should have mounted instead thinned slightly around him.

When he reached the halfway mark of the fourteenth layer, the fourth leaf could no longer endure the saturation of energy it had accumulated.

A deep pulse resonated within his inner world.

The fourth leaf swelled visibly before splitting open at its center. A new bud emerged from within, glowing with a deep crimson light that rivaled the others. The moment it formed, the rate of absorption intensified dramatically.

The four growth points worked in harmony.

The surrounding chaotic flame laws bent unnaturally toward Max, as though drawn by invisible gravity. The oppressive currents that once flowed against him were redirected inward, refined and condensed within the Chaos Tree.

Max felt the difference immediately.

The weight pressing upon his body lightened further.

His speed increased.

The flames that once resisted him now seemed to part before him, weakened by the relentless devouring force emanating from within.

Swish.

His figure blurred as he crossed the remaining distance of the fourteenth layer with controlled acceleration. The projection outside flickered as he surged forward, leaving the oppressive domain behind.

Without pause, Max stepped into the fifteenth layer.

The flames there were darker, heavier, and imbued with a deeper authority. The chaotic flame laws condensed into almost tangible structures, forming invisible barriers that would have shattered ordinary cultivators.

Yet Max did not stop.

He continued moving forward.

Within him, the three buds pulsed powerfully, drawing in the energy of the fifteenth layer at a terrifying pace. The flame branch of the Chaos Tree glowed intensely, its structure stabilizing under the immense influx of refined laws.

Soon, the fifth and final leaf reached its threshold.

The constant devouring of energy pushed it beyond saturation. It trembled violently before splitting open, giving birth to the final bud.

The moment it formed, the atmosphere around Max shifted once again.

With four active buds working in unison alongside the already matured dark red fruit, the absorption rate surged to unprecedented levels. The chaotic flame laws of the fifteenth layer were siphoned inward faster than ever before. The oppressive pressure that defined the layer weakened noticeably in his immediate vicinity.

Maxʼs speed continued to rise as though the Path to Eternal Flames had ceased being a trial and had become a highway carved for his ascent. Each step he took through the fifteenth layer felt lighter than the last. The four active buds on the flame branch devoured the refined energy relentlessly, thinning the oppressive currents around him while his own strength pushed forward without restraint.

In what felt like moments rather than miles, he crossed the fifteenth layer and stepped into the sixteenth.

The flames of the sixteenth layer burned with heavier authority. The chaotic flame laws condensed into disciplined torrents that pressed against his body from every direction. Yet his pace did not falter. The four buds pulsed in rhythm, drawing in the surrounding power at a frightening rate. The refined energy of the sixteenth layer flowed inward in thick streams, compressed and purified by the Chaos Tree.

Max advanced steadily until he reached the deepest part of the sixteenth layer.

Just as he approached the boundary, a profound shift occurred within him.

The second bud trembled violently. Its surface cracked with deep crimson light, and the immense energy it had accumulated surged inward one final time. Then it condensed.

The bud transformed into a dark red fruit, identical in form to the first but radiating its own dense authority. The flame branch now bore two fruits, heavy with refined chaotic flame laws.

”Nice,” Max said with a faint smile. ”Just three more and I am done with this trial.”

He stepped forward and entered the seventeenth layer.

The pressure there was significantly heavier. The chaotic flame laws were more aggressive, more sovereign in their suppression. However, with the second bud having matured into a fruit, the active absorption rate decreased slightly. The three remaining buds could not yet match the devouring intensity of four.

The pressure increased around him.

Max felt it immediately.

Seeing this, he released the first vein of the Seven Divine Veins within his body.

A deep pulse surged through him. His physique strengthened dramatically as divine energy flowed through his meridians. The oppressive flames that had pressed upon him moments earlier lost much of their weight.

”I should be able to cross many layers with my physical body alone with the help of my first vein,” he muttered calmly.

With renewed force, he advanced through the seventeenth layer. His physical body endured the crushing pressure while the remaining buds continued refining the surrounding laws. Before long, he crossed the deepest point of the seventeenth layer and entered the eighteenth.

The Path to Eternal Flames trembled as he ascended.

Within the eighteenth layer, the third bud finally reached its limit. The refined energy of the higher layers had nourished it completely. As Max pressed forward, the bud condensed, its surface glowing intensely before transforming into a third dark red fruit.

The absorption rate shifted again.

Now only two buds remained active, but the authority of three fruits stabilized the flame branch, granting Max even greater resistance to the oppressive environment.

He did not slow.

He crossed the eighteenth layer and entered the nineteenth.

The flames grew darker, heavier, almost black at their core. The chaotic laws here were no longer merely oppressive. They were tyrannical. Yet Maxʼs body, strengthened by the first divine vein, endured without faltering.

Midway through the nineteenth layer, the fourth bud trembled and condensed. It too transformed into a dark red fruit, adding to the growing harvest upon the Chaos Tree.

Four fruits now hung upon the flame branch.

Only one bud remained.
