Chapter 1667 Top Rank!
After putting away the Soul Devouring Sword, Max slowly lifted his gaze and looked toward the remaining participants gathered around the platform.
At that moment, the entire battlefield had already fallen into complete silence.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody moved recklessly.
The scene of Ray's defeat still lingered vividly within everyone's minds. From the moment Ray revealed the terrifying power of the Pseudo Cosmic Path until he unleashed the horrifying Soul Devouring Sword, everyone had believed Max would eventually be forced into despair.
Yet in the end—
Ray had still been defeated completely.
Not only had Max survived the Soul Devouring Sword, he had even taken the weapon away directly before eliminating Ray afterward.
That result had shaken everyone deeply.
Especially after witnessing the terrifying physical strength, monstrous regeneration, overwhelming swordsmanship, and incomprehensible soul abilities Max possessed, the remaining participants no longer viewed him as someone within the same level as themselves.
Many of them now looked at Max with genuine fear hidden within their eyes.
Max naturally noticed all of this clearly.
Then, while holding the seven colored lightning sword casually in his hand, he spoke calmly.
"If you do not want to be eliminated," Max said while glancing across the platform slowly, "then you should leave now."
Although his voice was calm, nobody dared ignore those words.
The surrounding participants immediately exchanged uneasy looks with one another.
Nobody stepped forward.
Nobody challenged him.
After all, even Ray Willer, who possessed traces of a Pseudo Cosmic Path and had even used the terrifying Soul Devouring Sword, had still ended up defeated by Max.
If even someone like Ray could not contend against him, then what qualifications did the rest of them possess to fight Max directly?
That thought alone caused many people to lose the courage to remain on the platform.
Very quickly, figures began retreating one after another.
Some left silently.
Others looked toward Max with complicated expressions before turning around and departing from the platform entirely.
Nobody wished to gamble their survival against a monster like him.
Meanwhile, Jonathan remained standing where he was for a few moments longer.
His eyes stayed fixed upon Max while countless thoughts flashed through his mind silently.
Then eventually, a faint smile appeared on Jonathan's face.
"You truly are terrifying," Jonathan admitted honestly.
There was no hostility in his voice.
Only seriousness.
Then Jonathan slowly turned around before speaking one final sentence.
"I will see you again later, Max."
The moment those words fell, Jonathan's figure disappeared from the platform.
Julie glanced toward Max once more after Jonathan left.
Her beautiful eyes still carried traces of shock from everything she had witnessed today.
However, she said nothing.
A moment later, Julie also departed alongside Jonathan, leaving the platform completely.
Soon afterward, the once crowded battlefield became almost entirely empty.
"Nice," Max muttered softly while looking toward the cave behind the platform. "Let's record all the treasures here before moving forward."
After finishing his battle against Ray, Max no longer wasted any time.
He directly entered the cave hidden behind the platform while faint seven colored lightning still flickered around his body. The interior of the cave was filled with numerous treasures radiating powerful fluctuations. Some emitted dense soul aura while others contained astonishing elemental energy.
Max calmly walked toward the center of the cave before placing his name onto the treasure record formation left behind by the Soul Sealing Painting.
The moment his spiritual aura entered the formation, the ownership record for all treasures within the cave instantly changed to his name.
After finishing everything there, Max immediately left the platform and headed toward the remaining areas of the eighth layer.
From that moment onward, almost nobody dared challenge him anymore.
Every participant who saw Max approaching instinctively chose to retreat voluntarily. Some people even abandoned platforms immediately after sensing his aura from afar.
The battle against Ray had already completely established Max's dominance throughout the tower.
As a result, Max moved through the eighth layer almost unhindered.
Platform after platform.
Cave after cave.
Max continuously recorded every treasure he encountered beneath his name before quickly proceeding deeper into the tower.
Eventually, he arrived at the ninth layer.
The pressure within the ninth layer was far more terrifying than before. The soul suppression filling the surrounding environment had already reached an astonishing level, causing even ordinary peak Law Refinement Realm geniuses to struggle merely standing there.
However, Max remained completely unaffected.
With the support of the Dimension of Soul and his overwhelming physical strength, the terrifying suppression inside the ninth layer no longer posed much threat to him.
Because of that, Max once again began recording treasures rapidly.
However, despite possessing enough strength to monopolize everything within the tower, Max did not take every single platform for himself.
He deliberately left several valuable platforms untouched.
Some were left for Jonathan.
Some were left for Julie.
Others were left for the remaining capable geniuses still climbing the tower.
Max naturally understood that completely monopolizing every opportunity would only create unnecessary hostility from everyone present.
More importantly, he simply did not need everything.
After recording the final treasure at the peak of the ninth layer, Max slowly raised his head and looked toward the vast surroundings beneath him.
Then, after confirming there was nothing else worth staying for, Max finally turned around and left the tower completely.
At the same time, outside the tower, the enormous ranking screen floating above the battlefield suddenly flickered brightly.
The moment Ray Willer had been eliminated earlier, half of his accumulated killing points had automatically transferred directly to Max according to the rules of the Soul Sealing Painting.
Because of that—
Max's ranking instantly soared to the very top.
Soon, the updated ranking list appeared clearly before everyone.
Max Morgan — 18,940 KP
Jonathan Myres — 13,220 KP
Julie Ravencrest — 12,870 KP
Marcus Vale — 10,430 KP
Serena Ashbourne — 9,980 KP
Darius Holt — 9,110 KP
Ethan Blackwell — 8,760 KP
Alicia Moonfall — 8,340 KP
Leon Draven — 7,950 KP
Victor Kane — 7,510 Kp
The moment the ranking list updated, countless participants inside and outside the Soul Sealing Painting immediately erupted into uproar.
Because Max Morgan's name now stood firmly at the very top.
