Chapter 1665: Dimension of Soul - Unlocked!

As the pressure emitted by the Soul Devouring Sword continued rising higher and higher, even Max gradually began finding it difficult to withstand it completely.

The gigantic silver blade pressed downward relentlessly while terrifying soul-devouring energy flooded the entire battlefield like an endless storm. The invisible force trying to tear Max’s soul out of his body became increasingly overwhelming with every passing second.

Even his sea of consciousness trembled violently under that horrifying pressure.

The seven colored lightning sword within Max’s grasp shook continuously as crackling lightning exploded wildly around him. Veins bulged across his arms while the power of the Three Divine Veins surged frantically through his body. At the same time, all 5000 Draconic Essences roared violently inside him as golden draconic energy erupted endlessly outward.

Yet despite all of that power—

Max was still gradually being suppressed.

The gigantic Soul Devouring Sword descended lower inch by inch while the ground beneath Max’s feet shattered repeatedly under the overwhelming pressure.

Ray noticed this immediately.

The madness within his eyes intensified further.

"Hahaha!" Ray laughed arrogantly as he poured even more strength into the Soul Devouring Sword. "That’s right! Struggle all you want! In the end, you still cannot resist the Soul Devouring Sword!"

Boom!!!

The gigantic silver blade released another terrifying wave of soul pressure.

The surrounding participants retreated even farther away while their expressions became increasingly pale. Some weaker geniuses even felt blood leaking from the corners of their mouths after being affected by the horrifying soul aura spreading throughout the battlefield.

At that moment, Max’s expression had already become extremely serious.

He understood very clearly that continuing like this would eventually lead to his defeat.

Then suddenly—

A familiar mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.

[Congratulations Host.]

[The Dimension of Soul has successfully been unlocked.]

[You have gained authority over the Dimension of Soul.]

The instant Max saw those notifications, the seriousness within his eyes disappeared completely.

Then slowly—

A smile appeared across his face.

That smile immediately caused Ray to frown.

However, before anyone could understand what Max was planning to do—

Max suddenly withdrew all of his defenses entirely.

The seven colored lightning sword instantly dispersed into countless sparks of lightning.

The terrifying aura erupting from the Three Divine Veins gradually faded.

Even the overwhelming draconic energy released from the 5000 Draconic Essences began calming down.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding participants widened their eyes in disbelief.

Jonathan’s expression changed sharply.

Julie looked completely stunned.

Even Ray himself was momentarily caught off guard before a crazed grin spread across his face.

"Hahaha!" Ray burst into wild laughter. "So you finally gave up!"

Without Max resisting it anymore, the gigantic Soul Devouring Sword descended completely.

Boom!!!

The enormous silver blade slammed directly onto Max.

Terrifying soul-devouring energy exploded outward instantly as dazzling silver light engulfed the entire battlefield completely. The horrifying soul aura surged violently in every direction while the surrounding space distorted repeatedly from the overwhelming pressure.

At that moment, countless participants instinctively believed the battle had already ended.

After all, nobody believed someone could survive being struck directly by the Soul Devouring Sword.

However—

A few moments later—

The silver light slowly began fading away.

Then the expressions of everyone present froze completely.

Max was still standing there.

The gigantic Soul Devouring Sword was pressing directly against his shoulder with terrifying force while endless soul-devouring energy continuously surged into his body.

Yet—

Nothing happened.

Max’s soul had not been devoured.

His body had not collapsed.

In fact, Max simply stood there calmly as though the terrifying sword pressing against him possessed no threat whatsoever.

The horrifying soul energy continuously entered his body, yet it vanished completely without causing any damage, almost like rivers flowing into an endless abyss.

Silence instantly descended across the battlefield.

Every participant stared blankly at Max with expressions filled with disbelief and confusion. Their minds could no longer comprehend the scene unfolding before them.

Jonathan’s pupils contracted violently.

Julie’s lips parted slightly in shock.

Even the nearby geniuses who had been retreating earlier now stood frozen in place.

Nobody could understand what they were seeing.

The Soul Devouring Sword was one of the six treasured swords of the Sword God Palace.

It was a terrifying weapon specifically designed to devour souls.

Yet now—

Its soul-devouring power had completely failed against Max.

Ray’s laughter disappeared instantly.

The crazed smile on his face froze completely while disbelief slowly spread across his expression.

His eyes widened more and more as he stared at Max like he had just witnessed something impossible. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"That..." Ray muttered unconsciously as his grip around the Soul Devouring Sword trembled faintly. "How is this possible?"

"Since you brought such a good weapon here..." Max said calmly while looking at the gigantic Soul Devouring Sword pressing against his shoulder. "Then let me have it."

The moment those words fell, Max slowly raised his right hand and touched the enormous silver blade directly.

Then—

The gigantic Soul Devouring Sword suddenly disappeared.

It vanished so abruptly that everyone present froze completely.

The terrifying soul-devouring pressure flooding the battlefield disappeared instantly along with it. The overwhelming silver light faded rapidly while the horrifying aura that had made countless geniuses tremble moments ago vanished without leaving behind even the slightest trace.

Silence descended across the eighth layer once again.

Ray’s eyes widened so much that they almost seemed ready to burst out of their sockets.

"What?!" Ray shouted in disbelief.

His face twisted completely as panic and shock exploded within his eyes.

The Soul Devouring Sword was one of the six treasured swords of the Sword God Palace. It was an incomparably precious soul weapon personally entrusted to him for this mission.

Yet now—

It had simply disappeared.

"What did you do to the Soul Devouring Sword?!" Ray roared furiously while staring at Max like a madman.

Max merely smiled faintly.

"It belongs to me now," Max replied calmly.

The moment his voice fell, seven colored lightning erupted violently around his body once again.

Crackling divine lightning exploded across the battlefield while a dazzling seven colored lightning sword condensed instantly within Max’s grasp.

The surrounding participants immediately felt their hearts tremble.

Because the moment Max summoned the lightning sword again, the aura around him changed completely.

The relaxed expression from earlier disappeared entirely.

What replaced it instead was cold killing intent.

Then Max slowly raised the seven colored lightning sword toward Ray.

"Now..." Max said softly while looking directly into Ray’s terrified eyes. "It’s your turn to die."
