Max realized the limits of his Vein of Origin at the tenth level of the Rebirth Realm as his spear escaped his grasp amid an opponent's relentless Piercing Wave Spear attack. Invoking his newfound flame inheritance from the Dimension of Flames, he clapped his hands to manifest the Four Divine Beasts technique, summoning a colossal black flaming dragon that coiled protectively around him. The dragon's roaring inferno collided with the spear, devouring its wave energy and utterly obliterating the tenth-level Rebirth Realm warrior in an instant. Spectators outside the Combat Tower, including elders, Isabella, Zain, and Seraphina, reacted with shock and disbelief, unable to identify the ancient, powerful inheritance behind the devastating display.

After Max triumphed over the fighter on the ninetieth level, the surrounding arena began to break apart into beams of light, only to reassemble shortly afterward. That well-known feeling of the Combat Tower altering its surroundings enveloped him, and soon enough, Max found himself entering the ninety-first floor.

A fresh combat ground materialized under his boots as quiet breezes flowed across the vacant area, announcing the onset of the upcoming trial.

Beyond the tower, the crowd's mood had turned intense and concentrated. All gazes locked onto the screens showing Max's presence inside the Combat Tower.

The elders along with the seven family leaders observed with unblinking focus. They refused to overlook any minor aspect of the unfolding events.

For the Black Dragon Clan, the ninety-first floor held a unique significance.

It marked the peak level that any of their clan's disciples had attained since the Combat Legion Tower's inception. Across endless years, numerous gifted disciples had strived to surpass their boundaries inside the tower. A few had indeed set foot on the ninety-first floor, demonstrating their exceptional aptitude and fighting prowess.

Yet, not a single one had triumphed against the guardian of this stage. As a result, the ninety-first floor stood as the supreme limit that Black Dragon Clan members could approach but never surpass.

'You mentioned this level is the farthest your clan has gone, correct?' Joe remarked, glancing at the seven family heads. His words held a steady assurance. 'Well, prepare for celebrations. That achievement is on the verge of shattering. Judging by Max's power, as I observe, he won't halt before the ninety-eighth floor. That's the sole obstacle I foresee that he might struggle to overcome.'

Upon hearing this, the seven family heads shared looks brimming with thrill. Though they'd trusted in Max right from the start, his dominant display within the tower surpassed what they'd anticipated.

Seeing him climb level by level with relentless drive ignited a strong wave of eagerness inside them. They'd foreseen impressive accomplishments from him, but actually watching him on the ninety-first floor delivered a rush of astonishment mixed with their mounting exhilaration.

The Combat Legion Tower was crafted specifically to evaluate disciples at the Rebirth Realm. Its challenges were finely tuned to test fighters at that cultivation phase, causing the challenges to escalate dramatically on the upper levels.

Due to this design, no Black Dragon Clan disciple had ever progressed past the ninety-first floor. The defenders on those stages formed an impassable wall that their prodigies couldn't breach.

At present, though, Max positioned himself right at that wall's edge.

The chance that he could shatter a legacy unbroken for ages heightened the strain among the elders and family heads. Their stares stayed glued to the display, anticipating the emergence of the Combat Tower's next opponent facing him.

Before long, the protector of the ninety-first floor materialized.

A gentle luminescence converged in the arena's heart, and a silhouette gradually took shape amid the glow. As the brightness dimmed, a female figure confronted Max. She looked like an elegant lady with lengthy, cascading red locks trailing down her spine. Her features were captivatingly lovely, exuding a composed poise that felt nearly royal. She stood at ease, eyeing Max with intrigued glances.

'Hmm, impressive how you've climbed so deep into the Combat Tower with such modest power,' the lady murmured gently. Her voice held a subtle note of astonishment while she studied him.

'Let's battle,' Max responded promptly, tightening his hold on his blade.

'Hoho, why the rush?' the lady chuckled softly. Her manner brought a teasing allure as she talked. 'From what I remember, no one from this Black Dragon Clan has bested me. Given that, why not spend a moment getting acquainted? If you manage to astonish me in this encounter, the actual me could even seek you out for recruitment.'

Max arched an eyebrow faintly at her statement. He hadn't foreseen the fighter opposite him possessing such insight into the external world. The previous opponents he'd faced possessed mere shards of awareness, but none showed this degree of character or mental liberty.

'Evidently, the final ten levels differ greatly from the others,' Max pondered silently, scrutinizing the lady ahead. This fighter's actions validated his hunch. The guardians of the concluding floors seemed to preserve much more autonomy than the mere echoes on the initial stages.

Outside the tower, Victor Veron's face grew grave as the woman showed up on the display.

'There she appears,' Victor uttered deliberately, fixing his eyes on the monitor. 'She goes by Empress Luna. I'm unsure if an empress like her exists in the Divine Realm, but being a soul fragment, a genuine individual must lie behind it. This Empress Luna has been a persistent blockade for our clan. Each appearance, she unleashes just three arrows, but nobody has endured past the second one.'

Joe paid attention while viewing the display, then offered a slight grin.

'In my Violet Star Palace, our students have faced defeats against her too, yet several succeeded in overcoming her after withstanding the third arrow,' Joe declared, his voice laced with evident satisfaction. 'The overseers of the last ten levels are all famed personages spread throughout the expansive Divine Realm. Every one embodies a fearsome authority from a mighty faction. Particularly the ultimate three levels—those defenders are genuinely nightmarish.'

His attention shifted back to the monitor as he went on.

'I believe this Empress Luna must be a prominent entity from a second-rate faction, or maybe even a first-rate one.'
