Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1653 Terror spreading across the 6th and 7th layer!!

The higher layers radiated an increasingly ancient and oppressive pressure that seemed to grow heavier the farther upward one looked. Violent battles continued erupting throughout different regions of the tower while countless participants desperately climbed higher in search of treasures, inheritances, and opportunities capable of changing their futures completely.

However, now that Max finally understood the true value hidden within these caves, his interest toward the tower had increased tremendously.

If a treasure of that level could already appear within a mere fifth-layer cave, then the rewards hidden within the higher layers would undoubtedly become even more astonishing.

Crack!

Seven-colored lightning erupted violently around Max once more.

The next instant, his figure shot upward along the towering wall of the ancient structure at astonishing speed like a streak of divine lightning piercing through the sky.

As Max climbed higher, the pressure surrounding the tower became increasingly intense.

The suppression force descending from above continuously strengthened with each passing layer, enough to make ordinary participants struggle even to move properly. Yet throughout the climb, Maxʼs expression remained completely calm.

The Vein of Strength continuously surged within his body, allowing him to resist the terrifying pressure far more easily than ordinary cultivators ever could.

Soon—

Max arrived at the Sixth Layer.

Compared to the lower regions, the atmosphere here had changed drastically.

The number of participants had noticeably decreased while the pressure covering the tower had become significantly heavier than before. Even the battles erupting across the sixth layer carried far greater intensity because the geniuses capable of reaching this level were clearly much stronger than ordinary disciples.

However, Max did not stop moving for even a moment.

The instant he arrived upon the sixth layer, he immediately headed toward the nearest cave platform.

Several participants were already fighting fiercely outside the cave when Max arrived.

Boom!

Sharp sword energy exploded violently through the air while two disciples exchanged attacks near the cave entrance with fierce expressions.

However, the moment Max stepped onto the platform—

The battle abruptly slowed.

One participant after another instinctively turned toward him.

Then their expressions changed instantly.

”Max Morgan…”

”He reached the sixth layer already?!”

The pressure surrounding the platform immediately became tense.

Max calmly looked toward the gathered disciples before speaking in an indifferent tone.

”Leave the platform.”

His voice remained calm and steady, yet carried unquestionable certainty.

”I am taking this cave.”

The participants exchanged uneasy glances with one another.

Some of them clearly felt unwillingness rising within their hearts, yet after sensing the terrifying aura radiating faintly from Maxʼs body while recalling the increasingly horrifying rumors surrounding him, hesitation rapidly appeared upon their faces.

Several moments later, one disciple finally let out a bitter sigh.

”This cave isnʼt worth risking elimination over,” he admitted unwillingly.

Soon afterward, several others slowly nodded as well before retreating from the platform without resistance.

Seeing them leave, Max simply entered the cave calmly, opened the chest hidden within, recorded the treasure with his name, and immediately departed once again without wasting time.

Then he headed toward the next cave.

And then the next.

And then another.

As Max continued climbing through the sixth layer, the same scenes began repeating themselves again and again.

Whenever he arrived upon a cave platform, the ongoing battles would immediately slow down as participants recognized him.

Sometimes—

The disciples would choose to retreat instantly.

No one wished to gamble their survival against someone currently ranked among the top participants within the entire Survival Trial.

However, not everyone was willing to surrender so easily.

At another cave platform, a group of disciples refused to retreat even after Max arrived.

A tall young man wielding twin sabers sneered coldly while stepping forward.

”Max Morgan or not, this cave already belongs to us.”

Another participant standing nearby nodded grimly in agreement.

”We climbed this far with our own strength,” he said coldly. ”Why should we hand it over simply because you appeared?”
