Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1483 An Ability of Dimensional Sovereign Body

Max gazed upon the numerous silhouettes of Darian encircling him, a subtle grin forming on his mouth. 'A speed mirage?' The idea emerged steadily in his thoughts while his gaze intensified. He discerned the deception right away when Darian divided into numerous afterimages.
He triggered his Dimensional Sovereign Body without delay. The alteration was understated but total. To those viewing from outside, the surrounding space appeared unaltered, but for Max, the entire scene turned transparent and exact.
The disordered rush of activity that might bewilder a typical cultivator now appeared starkly evident. Each spatial undulation, each motion disruption, each aura oscillation laid bare before him. Darian's so-called illusions reduced to mere superficial echoes. Max identified the real form navigating through them as effortlessly as detecting a light in obscurity.
"Which one is the real me? Which one will you strike?" Every Darian uttered simultaneously, their tones merging and resounding from all sides, forming a bewildering surge of noise aiming to disrupt Max's perception. The shapes orbited him with unyielding velocity, their paths creating a complex network of bewilderment designed to provoke doubt.
However, Max just offered a slight smile. His mind streamed with serene assurance. 'I could either dominate him or unleash a speed assault via my seven-colored lightning as the foundation for Storm King's Inheritance or…' A spark of mirth danced in his eyes as the last choice arose in his consciousness. The grin on his features grew a touch more pronounced.
In the immediate following moment, without any alert or noticeable change, Max and Darian stood at the core of an expansive frozen realm. The fiery combat zone disappeared as if it never was, substituted by boundless snowy fields and massive ice formations emitting a piercing chill.
The atmosphere grew dense and inflexible. Bewilderment crossed Darian's face, causing his look to waver. He failed to grasp when the ground under him had altered, or how the environment had transformed so utterly without him detecting the shift.
As soon as he entered the chilled territory, his velocity plummeted sharply. The previously smooth illusions started to warp and decelerate, their edges quivering while the frost infiltrated them. Gradually, the duplicates vanished one after another, incapable of sustaining amid the domineering low temperature. In just a few breaths, all illusory forms dissolved, exposing solely Darian's authentic physique in the midst of the icy expanse.
The freeze gripped him like unseen restraints. Ice advanced from his soles, ascending his limbs and extending over his chest prior to any response. His actions became lethargic, his breaths superficial as the icy presence permeated his form.
In mere moments, frost completely enveloped him. His shocked visage stayed immobilized as his physique morphed into an inert carving of pristine ice. From the environmental switch to Darian's transformation into an ice effigy, hardly any time elapsed. Before he could even start to fathom the events, it was all concluded.
Such was the might of the Dimensional Sovereign Body. It enabled Max to bring his dimension to life, remolding the fight area per his desire. What he exhibited was just a minor domain influence, limited and managed. He refrained from unveiling the complete potency of this power, knowing full well that myriad gazes monitored him from outside the arena.
"Hehe." Max chuckled softly while eyeing the iced form ahead and then proceeded toward Darian's sculpture with leisurely strides. The immense frozen landscape continued to expand around them, icy gusts grazing his attire as hoarfrost gleamed subtly on the statue's exterior.
Upon reaching it, he refrained from deploying any elaborate skill or summoning any dreadful energy. Rather, he lifted his hand and tapped the sculpture with his digits like flicking off a bit of dirt.
Bang!
The iced form exploded right away. Fissures radiated from the contact spot, spreading over the surface in a lattice of breaks before the whole piece fragmented into myriad ice pieces. The fragments flew across the frosty terrain and melted into subtle frost motes, erasing any sign of Darian. The whole event was neat and final, free of conflict or opposition.
Beyond the arena, the audience observing Max's confrontation sank into quiet. The viewers had braced for an intense showdown with the speed mirage method on the thirtieth level, but no one anticipated the bout concluding so directly. The shift from dominant deceptions to utter calm occurred so rapidly that numerous onlookers hadn't registered the sight until Darian was already demolished.
Elder Seraphina huffed lightly upon witnessing Max surmount the thirtieth floor foe with such ease, her face showing a hint of displeasure. Conversely, the remaining elders couldn't hide their thrill. Their gazes sparkled as they reviewed the battle footage via the displays.
"A domain of ice? This young one employed a domain versus a speed mirage skill. A smart tactic, I must admit." Joe's face stayed grim despite his words. Though he had commended Max before, he hadn't genuinely thought Max would surpass the thirtieth level. But the outcome lay evident and irrefutable before him.
In that instant, Joe grasped why the seven family heads exhibited such firm faith in Max. The composure with which the youth analyzed the circumstance and selected the optimal way to counter his foe demonstrated a profundity surpassing mere power.
'This young one conceals much. His fighting ability is utterly extraordinary.' Joe reassessed Max mentally and sensed his interest intensifying. The further he watched, the clearer it became that Max's displayed prowess was merely a portion of his actual capabilities.
As discussions of Max's rapid triumph over Darian continued among the crowd, the Combat Tower's interior altered and Max entered the thirty-first level. The setting around him transformed again, crafting a broad rocky platform hovering in void.
Facing him waited a humanoid shape exuding a serene yet timeless presence. Unlike Darian's evident haughtiness, this adversary remained wordless with piercing eyes mirroring innumerable fights.
This wasn't a mere tower creation. It constituted a soul remnant deposited by an actual fighter still existing in the Divine Realm. Though just a shard of his essence lingered here, the emanation he projected felt genuine and constant.
His cultivation reached the fifth stage of the Rebirth Realm, matching Darian's. Yet, the presence he projected appeared more polished and restrained. The clash commenced sans superfluous talk. The foe advanced with seasoned accuracy, delivering precise assaults at critical spots while upholding impeccable guard.
However, for Max, with his Dimensional Sovereign Body's perception engaged, each action appeared foreseeable. He countered with composed effectiveness, repelling every blow with superior might. In a brief period, the platform quieted as the soul remnant faded beneath Max's onslaught. The win was firm and tidy, no tougher than the prior encounter.
