The thunderous ancient being’s expression darkened.
The battle continued.
Victor’s attacks became increasingly violent.
The armored warrior’s body began showing cracks.
Finally, after an enormous exchange of attacks, Victor slammed his fist into the warrior’s abdomen.
Crack!
The armored warrior staggered.
Another punch.
Its armor shattered.
A third attack sent it crashing into the gray void.
Victor followed immediately.
He was about to deliver the final blow.
But the thunderous ancient being suddenly raised one finger.
Snap!
The sound was quiet.
Yet the effect was instantaneous.
The nearly destroyed armored warrior suddenly stopped. It’s shattered armor repaired itself.
It’s wounds vanished. It’s depleted energy returned. It’s aura climbed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent had returned to it’s absolute peak condition.
Victor stopped.
He stared at the warrior with genuine surprise.
Above the Resource Tower, the golden-scaled ancient being immediately turned toward the thunderous figure.
"Why did you do that? Are you that afraid of losing?"
The thunderous ancient being snorted.
"Hmph. We have authority to make one opponent more powerful, remember? I am using that authority on the opponent of the fifteenth floor."
The golden-scaled creature’s eyes widened slightly.
"So that’s how it is."
A smile spread across its enormous face.
"You really do take him seriously after all. Normally, we only use that authority above the twentieth floor."
The shadowy ancient being laughed.
"Hahaha! Then let’s see whether this human is actually worth wasting your authority on."
The thunderous ancient being said nothing.
His eyes remained fixed on Victor.
Down below, Victor examined the opponent that had suddenly returned to perfect condition.
He was genuinely surprised.
"They can even return to peak condition?"
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Not bad."
Boom!
Victor disappeared again.
The armored warrior attacked at the same time. The two collided again.
Boom!
The entire fifteenth floor trembled.
Victor’s purple Chaos Domain erupted once more.
The battle continued.
Above the tower, the ancient beings watched with increasingly serious expressions.
"How is this bastard fighting for so long?" the thunderous ancient being suddenly cursed.
His eyes narrowed.
"The energy system has long been cut off from this tower. Why does he still have energy?"
Nobody answered.
Because they did not know.
Victor continued fighting.
His body moved through the endless gray void, exchanging one devastating attack after another with the top World Realm opponent.
The armored warrior was once again pushed toward its limit.
This time, it was not allowed to recover.
Victor gathered the power of Creation and Destruction into a single point and mixed with Chaos.
His fist became surrounded by brilliant crimson purple light.
He punched.
Boom!
The armored warrior’s body froze. A crack appeared across it’s chest.
Then another.
Then countless cracks spread throughout its entire body.
The top World Realm construct finally shattered.
The fifteenth floor cleared.
The Resource Tower fell silent.
Then the golden-scaled ancient being burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Pay up!"
The thunderous ancient being’s expression became ugly.
A thousand drops of Chaos Essence.
That was an enormous amount even for an existence of his level.
He slowly transferred the agreed amount.
The golden-scaled creature accepted it with obvious satisfaction.
"Pleasure doing business."
The defeated ancient being felt a sharp pang in his heart.
If only they knew.
The human they had just bet thousands of drops of Chaos Essence on could create that very resource endlessly by himself.
They would probably have vomited blood.
Far below, Victor did not know anything about the wager.
Victor looked upward.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Fifteen floors."
His eyes became filled with anticipation.
"Let’s see what the sixteenth floor has prepared for me. I have already reached the limit of my physical prowess. Now, it is time to use my root power," Victor muttered.
Victor had originally been a mage, but his Eternal Body had granted him a physique powerful enough to fight even beings from the Upper Realm. However, his physical strength had now reached its current limit.
"I will need some powerful spells to fight from now on. It would be good if I could obtain some from the Resource Tower," he thought.
"Congratulations! You have cleared the fifteenth floor. Please choose fifteen treasures."
The ancient voice echoed through the space. This time, Victor carefully examined every treasure that appeared before him. Although he could create spells himself, there were countless spells created by Supreme Beings throughout the ages.
Many of those spells contained extremely complex mechanisms and principles. If Victor wanted to create something similar from scratch, he would need to spend a tremendous amount of time studying and developing them.
And time was something he did not have.
"If I can obtain three spells ranging from the Nebula Realm to the Quasar Realm, I will be able to reach a much higher level. At that point, I should be able to find out just how powerful these beings actually are," Victor thought.
Soon, he discovered a Nebula Realm spell.
"Wings of the Cicada."
Victor immediately chose it. He continued searching through the treasures, refusing to settle for anything ordinary. Eventually, he found a Black Hole Realm spell called Arch Demon Transformation.
He selected it instantly.
Unfortunately, the time limit soon ended. Victor had spent too much time searching for these two spells, but he did not regret his choice in the slightest.
Wings of the Cicada could condense two wings made entirely of mana behind his body, allowing his speed to reach the level of a Nebula Realm being for as long as his energy could sustain the spell.
However, Arch Demon Transformation was the true trump card he had obtained this time.
[Name: Arch Demon Transformation]
[Function: Directly elevates your strength to the Black Hole Realm.]
[Skill: You can release Demonic Miasma to suppress the strength of enemies within your domain by up to 50%, provided they are below the Black Hole Realm.]
[Next Evolution: 10 trillion evolution points.]
Victor was genuinely surprised when he saw the description. This ability could directly grant him the strength of a Black Hole Realm being, as long as his body and energy were capable of sustaining the transformation.
To Victor, it was almost equivalent to stepping into the Black Hole Realm instantly.
And the most incredible part was that he could evolve the skill even further with evolution points, potentially raising it to the Quasar Realm.
"Good. Very good," Victor said with a smile.
"Let’s start the battle again," he muttered.
The moment his words fell, his body was transferred to the sixteenth floor.
.....
"Do you want to bet on him again?"
The thunderous ancient being’s voice echoed through the mysterious space.
"Oh? Do you want to get back your precious Chaos Essence? Alright. What do you want to bet this time?"
"Can he reach the twentieth floor?"
The thunderous ancient being asked.
"Hey, we would like to bet as well. I bet 500 Chaos Essence that he won’t reach the twentieth floor."
"I bet 300 Chaos Essence that he will be defeated on the sixteenth floor."
The thunderous ancient being smirked.
"I bet 2,000 Chaos Essence that he will not reach the twentieth floor."
He was extremely confident in his prediction. From what he could see, Victor was already approaching his limit.
"Yeah? I bet he will reach it," the golden scaled ancient being replied calmly.
"Hmph! You are far too optimistic. Let’s see, then."
The thunderous ancient being turned his attention toward the battlefield and began watching.
This time, Victor’s opponent was a plant-type creature.
It was an enormous willow tree with countless thick branches spreading across the battlefield. The moment Victor appeared, the enormous tree attacked without giving him any opportunity to prepare.
Boom!
Countless branches tore through the air and crashed toward Victor with terrifying momentum.
"It’s not very nice, you know? Attacking without giving your enemy any chance." Victor said with a smile.
"Wings of the Cicada."
The moment he finished speaking, two enormous purple wings formed behind his back. A powerful wave of mana erupted from his body, and his figure instantly vanished from his original position.
"What?"
The ancient beings watching the battle were stunned.
"Is that a Nebula Realm spell? Impossible!"
"How can a Domain Master use a Nebula Realm spell?"
"And why can he use spells in the first place? Is he actually a mage?"
Their expressions changed as they stared at Victor, who had just disappeared from the willow tree’s attack range at a speed that far exceeded what they had expected.
"His physique is so powerful? What kind of techniques has he cultivated? I would love to have a chat with him," one of them muttered, his voice filled with interest.
"Maybe he is from one of the mixed-grade Lower Universes that still hasn’t gained its individuality?" another ancient being speculated.
"Impossible. To produce a monster like him, the universe must have at least completed it’s eonic cycle, right?"
"Who knows? But his physique definitely belong to another category, meaning he had multiple systems of power inside him."
