Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1331 Facing the Wraith of the World again!

Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
After ending the war against the demons and neutralizing the red cloud calamity, Max returned the elves and the Tower of Truth to their original homes. In the Middle Domain, he reunited the people of the Four God Nation and revealed that those lost in the conflict had been resurrected, restoring peace to the world of Acaris. Three months later, Max traveled to a remote desert to prepare for his inevitable ascension. Though he has fixed the ascension tunnel for his allies, he now stands alone to trigger his advancement to the Divine Rank before leaving the mortal realm behind.

Max exhaled deeply, letting go of the final restraints he had placed upon his physical form and soul. The instant that control was relinquished, a monstrous explosion of power surged from his core.

Bang.

The earth beneath him disintegrated as a massive tide of energy radiated outward, reducing stone and sand to dust and gouging a deep crater into the desert floor. Like an unstoppable wave, the shockwave swept across the terrain, leveling everything in its path until it vanished into the distance.

As this immense power was unleashed, the sky above the world of Acaris underwent a dramatic transformation. The blue firmament turned pitch black as if night had arrived prematurely, while heavy, dark clouds spiraled inward to congregate directly over Max. Within that swirling vortex, white lightning slithered like sentient serpents, casting an oppressive pressure that caused the very foundation of the world to shudder.

"This is the Wraith of the World," Max remarked with composure, his eyes fixed on the heavens. He felt it clearly—the planetary will descending to pass judgment on a being who had bypassed the boundaries of mortality.

This was far from a mere tribulation designed to gauge potential; it was a divine execution intended to wipe him from existence. The world reacted with pure enmity as Max's Cultivation ascended beyond the mortal realm to touch the threshold of the Divine Rank.

Every individual who reaches the Divine Rank must endure this trial from the world.

The heavens thundered as the initial bolt of lightning struck.

It was a streak of blinding white, merciless and pure, fueled by the world's own authority. It crashed into Max with enough destructive force to vaporize a peak Divine Rank expert instantly, yet Max remained perfectly still.

The lightning shattered against his frame, dissolving into harmless sparks before they could even reach the ground. A soft light emanated from his skin as his draconic scales and divine veins drank in the force of the impact, leaving him without a single mark.

A second bolt followed without delay, this one a chilling deep blue that carried the essence of absolute zero and annihilation. It hit Max directly, instantly freezing the atmosphere and turning miles of the surrounding desert into a wasteland of crystalline ice.

Max’s breathing remained steady as the White Lotus Ice Essence within his body began to vibrate, absorbing the freezing energy and neutralizing it entirely.

The third strike descended like a javelin of crimson fire, its roar echoing as it fell. The heat was so ferocious that it distorted the fabric of space and turned everything beneath it to ash. Max simply raised a hand, welcoming the flames. The infernal energy and flame concepts within him surged forth, feasting on the destructive heat as if it were a source of sustenance.

The fourth bolt was violet, saturated with the heavy weight of divine judgment and authority. The impact was thunderous, sending tremors through the local space, yet Max did not budge. His Vein of Origin pulsed rhythmically, stabilizing his physical form and anchoring him against the world's wrath.

In eerie silence, the fifth lightning fell, black as a void. It carried a power of erasure that neither burned nor froze. As it made contact with Max, the air seemed to scream, but the black flames within his body rose up instinctively to swallow the erasure and force it back into non-existence.

The sixth lightning shimmered with gold and silver brilliance, emitting a sanctified energy designed to purge all impurities. It coiled around Max like burning chains, attempting to dismantle him from within. In response, the Heavenly Luminous Sacred Bloodline surged, dissolving the holy lightning and restoring internal equilibrium.

The seventh strike was a chaotic green, brimming with life energy twisted into a frenzied state. Thick vines burst from the desert floor, attempting to ensnare Max and siphon his life force. His sword intent erupted, and the Concept of Severing Sword cut through the very idea of imprisonment, turning the chaotic growth into fading specks of light.

The eighth tribulation arrived as a deluge of countless smaller bolts, each one lethal enough to slay a Divine Rank expert. They hammered against Max in a relentless barrage from every angle. His Three Dimensional Body reached full activation, synchronizing time, space, and form to disperse the electrical storm as if it were a light drizzle.

Then, the ninth lightning appeared.

A heavy silence fell over the sky before a colossal pillar of light descended, merging every attribute of the previous strikes into one final verdict. This was the ultimate execution by the Wraith of the World, meant to ensure no trace of the target remained. When it hit Max, the desert floor was erased down to the bedrock, and a blinding radiance consumed the horizon.

When the brilliance finally dimmed, Max was still standing in the center of the wasteland, his body glowing softly with various energies that were now returning to a state of calm. The clouds above wavered and began to scatter as if the world itself was stunned by what it had failed to destroy.

Max took a soft breath and shut his eyes as a fundamental metamorphosis occurred. His soul, body, and very essence were refined in a heartbeat, crossing fully into the Divine Rank without taking any damage. The Wraith of the World retreated, bested not just by his strength, but by an absolute compatibility with power that exceeded mortal constraints.

When Max reopened his eyes, the storm had vanished, the sky was clear, and a profound silence hung over the desert.

However, the process had not concluded within Max’s own body. While the external Wraith of the World subsided and the sky cleared, an even deeper transformation was taking place within his inner source, silent and absolute.

At the heart of that inner source, his golden core floated with steady dignity, its form unchanged but its brilliance more stable than ever. Beside it stood the towering Chaos Tree, its ancient trunk etched with the history of every breakthrough and life-threatening battle Max had survived.

Countless leaves rested upon its boughs, each one a manifestation of a concept he had mastered during his journey. These were no longer mere symbols; each leaf held the perfected structure of its concept, layered meticulously from the first level through to the fifth.

As Max solidified his position in the Divine Rank, the Chaos Tree shuddered as if recognizing a new master. One by one, the leaves representing his mastered concepts began to hum in resonance, their glow becoming deeper and more permanent rather than flickering with instability.
