Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
Max found himself lost in deep reflection, outlining a consumption route for his fire abilities, when a gentle change in the nearby power drew his notice. The heavy blaze of the twenty first layer stayed the same in intensity, but something deep inside him started to awaken.
The Chaos Tree, which had fallen silent once the last sprout ripened into a fruit, now stirred once again.
A soft tug emerged within his torso.
"What is going on?" Max creased his brow lightly while directing his awareness inside.
He knew for sure that once all five sprouts had turned into deep crimson fruits, the consumption had settled down. The fruits dangled peacefully on the fire limb, emitting focused power but no longer hungrily pulling in the nearby rules.
But now, without any order from him, power from the twenty first layer started streaming into him anew.
Intrigued and watchful, Max directed his mind inward to inspect the Chaos Tree.
The sight that greeted him left him shocked.
All five deep crimson fruits shone at the same time.
Their skins gleamed with powerful scarlet light, much more vivid than earlier. Thin threads of glow linked them, creating a complex web along the fire limb. The five fruits were no longer separate items. They vibrated together.
The vibration grew stronger as time went on.
The chaotic fire rules around him in the twenty first layer quivered softly while flows of pure power got pulled inside. But unlike earlier times, this intake wasn't just boosting the fire limb anymore.
The power moved past the fruits.
It flowed into his meridians.
It moved through his frame.
Max's eyes grew wide.
"The energy is entering my cultivation base," he understood.
The pure chaotic fire rules, squeezed and cleansed by the vibration of the five fruits, turned into a shape his body could take in right away. Rather than just feeding the Chaos Tree, the power now boosted his cultivation directly.
He sensed it plainly.
His Rebirth Realm base shook a little as the rush of pure strength blended into it. The first level of the Rebirth Realm grew more solid, turning thicker and deeper. His inner energy became quietly more potent.
Max had tried before to swallow the Path's power via his black fires to raise his cultivation, but the trial's rules had blocked that method. The Path to Eternal Flames wasn't for wild looting. Its setup stopped straight intake by normal ways.
But now, the Chaos Tree had discovered a bypass for that barrier.
The five fruits vibrated as one, purifying the nearby chaotic fire rules so much that the power shed its crushing quality. It turned into clean fuel.
Max couldn't hold back the small grin appearing on his face.
"So this is the deeper function of the fruits," he whispered.
They weren't just packed rule pieces.
They were transformers.
The Path to Eternal Flames still raged strongly around him, its ruling power untouched. Yet via the vibration of the five fruits, its power got quietly drawn out, purified, and woven into his cultivation without breaking the trial's limits.
He felt his base growing stronger bit by bit.
The more the fruits vibrated, the better they sucked in power.
Max shut his eyes again, but this time not just for understanding.
He let the vibration go on.
The Chaos Tree, yet again, started to uncover another level of its hidden role.
"At this rate, I might break through to the Second Level of the Rebirth Realm," Max whispered to himself as he felt the horrifying thickness of power in the Twenty First Layer and the matching horrifying pace at which the Chaos Tree took it in.
The power here was way thicker than anything lower down, packed with fierce will and squeezed life force that would smash a regular cultivator to bits. But the Chaos Tree didn't push it away. Instead, it consumed it.
Initially, the intake was even, like a mighty stream pouring into an endless ocean. The power rushed into the five fruits from leaves, went through the limbs, and dropped into the trunk where it got purified by the chaotic core that built the base of Max's being.
From that point, it changed into a cleaner, more tame strength before spreading into his meridians. His bones quivered softly as that pure strength seeped into them. His muscles grew firm, his blood heated up, and the vessels inside him stretched under the steady strain.
The feeling wasn't hurtful, but it was far from easy. It seemed like every part of his body was getting broken down and rebuilt with sharper accuracy.
As time ticked by, Max spotted a small change. The intake speed wasn't steady anymore. The Chaos Tree was adjusting.
The leaves that once swayed lightly now shone with richer shine. Their edges looked to wave like they had gained a hunger. The power of the Twenty First Layer around started to whirl more wildly, making clear flows that twisted toward Max's spot. Even the heavy weight in the air moved a bit, as if a whirl had formed at the layer's heart. The Chaos Tree didn't just take the power now. It dragged it in.
The shift inside his body sped up. His core source stretched out with a low booming sound, and the chaotic power in it spun faster. The swirl of strength squeezed on itself over and over, turning thicker and weightier each turn.
His energy, steady at the top of the First Level of the Rebirth Realm, started to shake wildly. Thin splits formed in the unseen wall between his present realm and the one after.
Max clenched his jaw as blasts of force rushed through his arms and legs. The bones in them made soft snapping noises as waste got pushed out and wiped away under the chaotic cleansing.
His heart beat harder in his ears, each thump matching the spin of the Chaos Tree's heart. The bond between him and the tree grew tighter, like their beings were fusing into one cultivation machine.
Then it occurred.
