Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1495 A Battle with Mother - 1

As the golden swords poured down towards him, Max's Dimensional Sovereign Body froze entirely.

The instant the cascade of shining blades started falling, his awareness heightened to an incredible level. Each energy pulse in the atmosphere, every alteration in the swords' paths, and every wave of force rippling across the arena registered vividly in his mind.

His surroundings appeared to decelerate while his thoughts dissected the horde of weapons hurtling at him.

In a fleeting instant, the vision of golden swords overwhelming the heavens evoked one of his own techniques.

Once, there was a power that let him call forth hundreds of azure glowing swords to shower foes with ruinous might. At its height, that power had ranked as a legendary skill at level one hundred in the mortal world. It was a formidable technique that could overwhelm fights against mortal cultivators.

But in the Divine Realm, that method had lost all value.

The abilities he'd gained in the mortal realm were shaped by entirely distinct rules of power. Regardless of their former glory, they now paled against the horrifying might present in the Divine Realm. The divide between realms was just too immense.

A technique that had topped mortal cultivation wasn't even noteworthy here.

Still, Max harbored no sorrow over it.

He now commanded vastly superior powers.

Suddenly, black flames ignited around him.

The shadowy blaze exploded from his core like a surging wave of annihilation. The fire roared upward and expanded over the battlefield with fearsome ferocity. The volume of black flames Max unleashed was staggering, sufficient to overshadow the golden glow coming from overhead.

The flames swiftly coalesced.

In mere seconds, the furious black blaze started solidifying into a gigantic form.

A huge Black Tortoise Divine Beast emerged from the twisting black flames. Its vast frame looked sturdy and regal as the dark fire molded its robust shell and sturdy legs. The creature positioned itself solidly around Max, shielding him inside its guarding shape.

This was the heritage skill called the Four Divine Beasts Manifestations.

Of the forms in that heritage, the Black Tortoise symbolized unbreakable protection.

Max remained composed at the heart of the divine beast as the enormous fiery shell enveloped him like an unbreachable bastion.

Right then, the golden swords reached their target.

They slammed down in a torrent of brilliant devastation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash of blades hitting the black tortoise echoed through the arena, sending shockwaves outward in all directions. Every golden sword bore tremendous force, but upon contact with the blazing shell, none could pierce its guard.

Certain swords got repelled by the tortoise's shell's overwhelming might.

Others got consumed by the black flames the instant they neared the divine beast's domain.

The wild fire absorbed the energy from the golden swords, breaking them into vanishing specks of light.

Regardless of the number of blades dropping from the sky, none succeeded in breaching the Black Tortoise Divine Beast's defense crafted from Max's black flames.

Yet, right as the golden swords had dropped and all been halted by the Black Tortoise Divine Beast, Max abruptly detected something unusual.

Via his Dimensional Sovereign Body's awareness, a line of force emerged far off. It differed from the golden swords that had fallen from the sky. This aura was focused, piercing, and much more threatening.

A ray of golden light sped towards him.

The line of light sliced through the battlefield at horrifying velocity. It traveled so rapidly that the nearby space quivered fiercely as it cut the air. The golden glow advanced like a godly lance pointed straight at Max's spot.

'This strike holds too much power,' Max grasped right away.

The force borne by the ray exceeded that of the earlier golden swords by far. The second his senses fixed on the assault, Max comprehended the awful ruin concealed inside it.

In that instant, an idea crossed his thoughts.

He recalled his mother gripping a bow.

'So this comes from her bow,' he determined without delay.

Time for doubt was absent.

Max triggered the Four Divine Beasts Manifestation heritage skill anew. This round, he didn't summon a new divine beast. Rather, the black flames around him compressed swiftly into an alternate shape.

A gigantic sword forged from surging black flames materialized next to the Black Tortoise Divine Beast.

The immense blade emitted dreadful heat and ruinous energy. It stayed rooted beside the tortoise's fiery shell as if the guarding beast served as the base for a mighty armament.

The golden ray kept charging ahead with unrelenting drive.

Noticing the threat approaching, Max directed the enormous black sword made of his flames. The armament lifted skyward and then slashed down at the oncoming ray of light.

The second the pair of forces met, the whole battlefield detonated.

BOOM!

A apocalyptic blast burst at the junction of the golden ray and the falling black sword. Black flames and golden glow smashed together savagely as the collision unleashed a ruinous shockwave sweeping the arena. The earth cracked under the strain while the ambient air shook from the confrontation of the rival energies.

For a few moments, the blast stormed like a whirlwind of ruin. Golden light and black flames intertwined as the power burst outward before gradually subsiding.

As the fierce glow at last started to wane, the battlefield slowly reemerged.

In the middle of the diminishing blast stood Max.

But he wasn't solitary anymore.

His mother had materialized next to him.

Her form was now clad in armor woven from dazzling golden light that gleamed with holy splendor. The armor hugged her silhouette flawlessly and emanated the prestige of her Heavenly Luminance Sacred Bloodline. In her grasp was a sword composed wholly of matching golden glow.

The weapon's edge was already wedged between Max's crossed hands.

The point of the golden sword had glided through the slim gap between his fingers and halted mere inches from his torso, its sharp edge shining perilously near his heart.
