Just as everyone outside continued to marvel at Max's unbelievable speed of ascension within the Combat Tower, the space on the ninetieth floor finally began to stir. The arena trembled slightly as energy gathered at the center, and a new figure slowly ford out of the swirling light of the tower's power.
When the light faded, a tall warrior stood there holding a long spear. His presence carried a deep and oppressive pressure that was far greater than the opponents Max had faced on the floors below.
The warrior's eyes fell upon Max and a trace of confusion appeared on his face. His gaze swept across Max's body as if trying to understand what he was seeing.
"How did soone like you with the strength of the third level of the Rebirth Realm co this far into the floors of the nineties?" the warrior asked with clear disbelief in his voice.
Max narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the warrior more carefully. From the aura radiating from his body, Max could instantly determine that the opponent standing before him had the strength of the tenth level of the Rebirth Realm. This was a peak existence within the realm, soone who stood at the threshold of the next great stage.
"We will know once we fight," Max replied calmly.
"As you say," the warrior answered without hesitation.
The mont his words ended, the warrior moved. His body surged forward with explosive speed and the long spear in his hands cut through the air like a streak of lightning. He swung it in a wide arc before gathering all his strength into a single thrust aid directly at Max.
The spear shot forward with terrifying force, its tip tearing through the air while waves of compressed energy spiraled around it.
The attack carried the full power of a tenth level Rebirth Realm expert, and the pressure alone caused the arena beneath them to crack. The surrounding space trembled violently as though the spear intended to pierce through everything in its path.
BOOM!
The spear closed in on Max in an instant. At that very mont, Max's body erupted with power. Black dragon scales burst forth across his skin as he activated his Dragon Scales Transformation. The scales glowed faintly while an ancient and tyrannical aura surged from within his body.
At the sa ti, the first of his seven divine veins awakened fully. The Vein of Origin pulsed like a roaring river inside him as it released an overwhelming surge of raw strength.
That strength did not manifest as a technique or a law. It was pure and brutal physical power that flooded every inch of his body. The muscles in his arm tightened and the air around him trembled as he raised his hand.
Instead of dodging the spear or countering with a weapon, Max simply extended his bare hand toward the incoming attack.
The spear thrust that carried the might of a tenth level Rebirth Realm warrior crashed directly into his palm.
For a mont the entire arena shook as the violent impact exploded outward. Shockwaves rippled through the ground and cracks spread across the stone floor beneath their feet. The power behind the spear was imnse, enough to obliterate mountains, yet Max's hand remained firmly in place.
His palm had stopped the spear.
The raw strength of the Vein of Origin surged through his arm like a raging torrent, allowing him to block the devastating attack with nothing but his bare hand.
The black dragon scales covering his skin glead under the pressure while the terrifying force of the spear struggled against the immovable wall of power that Max had beco.
"How did you do that?" The warrior stared at Max in open shock. His eyes widened as he looked at the sight before him. The tip of his spear, which carried the terrifying force of a tenth level Rebirth Realm thrust, was being held firmly in Max's bare hand. Max stood there calmly as though the spear were nothing more than a wooden stick pressed against his palm.
"Will you admit defeat or should I make you disappear fully?" Max asked in a calm and steady voice.
"Heh. I understand you are strong, but this is not enough to make admit defeat." The warrior laughed coldly. As he spoke, the spear that Max was holding suddenly began to tremble.
At first the vibration was faint, almost imperceptible, but within monts the entire spear began to oscillate violently. A strange and powerful force surged through its length as layers of invisible waves rippled outward from the warrior's hands.
These waves were not ordinary fluctuations of energy. They were the manifestation of a profound law that the warrior had comprehended to an extrely high degree.
The concept of waves erupted from the spear like the tides of an endless ocean.
The warrior had comprehended the concept of wave to the fifth level.
Under the influence of that profound concept, the spear began to release powerful shocklike pulses that traveled along its shaft. Each pulse carried imnse force and caused the surrounding air to tremble.
When those waves reached the point where Max's hand gripped the spear tip, the vibrations multiplied rapidly. The air around Max's palm quivered violently as the spear twisted with overwhelming montum.
In the next instant, the accumulated waves exploded outward.
The continuous wave force struck Max's palm again and again in rapid succession. The pressure multiplied with each pulse until even the raw strength flowing through the Vein of Origin could no longer completely suppress the movent of the weapon. The spear finally slipped free from Max's grasp as the wave force forced it away from his hand.
The warrior's eyes sharpened the mont the spear was released.
Without giving Max even a fraction of a second to react, he stepped forward and gathered the full power of his cultivation and concept into the weapon. The surrounding air began to distort as layer upon layer of wave energy condensed around the spear tip. The power grew so dense that it appeared like rippling water twisting violently around the weapon.
"Piercing Wave Spear!"
The warrior roared as he unleashed his strongest attack.
In that instant, the spear shot forward with terrifying speed. The condensed waves surged outward like an unstoppable tide as the thrust carried the combined power of the tenth level of the Rebirth Realm and the fifth level concept of wave. The pressure generated by the attack was so imnse that the ground beneath the warrior's feet could not withstand it.
The mont he launched the strike, the stone floor beneath him simply collapsed.
The crushing wave force pulverized the ground into nothingness as the surrounding stone disintegrated under the overwhelming pressure. Dust and fragnts were erased before they could even scatter, leaving behind a hollow depression where the warrior had stood.
At the center of that destruction, the spear surged forward like a furious ocean current determined to pierce through everything in its path. The wave energy roared through the arena as the devastating thrust shot directly toward Max.
