Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1515 Black Flames Inferno Furnace Art

With a subtle smile, Mathew Grimes gestured to the expansive ancestral chamber. "Go ahead and choose whatever you like," he said.

Max gave a slow nod and stepped ahead.

Max proceeded through the massive hall with keen focus, his eyes shifting from pedestal to pedestal while inspecting the inheritances stored inside. Even though countless techniques filled the chamber, their vast quantity failed to distract him. He had already shared his specific needs earlier, so his attention stayed fixed on only the inheritances that fit perfectly.

Brute force defined some techniques outright. Speed or niche weapon mastery shaped others. Elemental control over lightning, wind, or earth dominated yet more. An ancient jade slip or sealed scroll graced each pedestal, each pulsing with its distinctive aura.

Max advanced deliberately across the chamber, scanning the descriptions etched above the pedestals.

From time to time, he halted to scrutinize a technique up close, yet the majority fell short of his ideals. Plenty boasted raw power but skimped on adaptability. Many honed one combat element while ignoring the rest.

Max craved something else entirely.

A technique that elevated his complete battle prowess instead of zeroing in on just one facet—that's what he sought.

After some time probing, his pace abruptly stopped.

His sight settled on a jade slip perched silently on a shadowy pedestal close to the hall's core. As he neared, a gentle warmth emanated from the relic, like a sleeping blaze trapped inside.

Ancient runes hovered overhead, crafting an inscription above the pedestal.

Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art.

Max pored over the description with care.

This inheritance technique spanned five stages.

Every stage aimed to amplify the practitioner's fighting strength alongside boosts to bodily power, agility, and flame command. Shun single-focus cultivation; instead, it forged the user's black flames internally like a blazing furnace. Greater refinement of those flames organically empowered the cultivator's entire physique and skills.

It stood as a highly adaptable inheritance technique.

Precisely the prize Max hunted.

Further details revealed how each stage of the Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art demanded compressing black flames into lotus-shaped cores deep within the body. Formation and advancement of these cores reshaped the flames into vastly superior, masterful potency.

A subtle gleam sparked in Max's eyes.

He grabbed the jade slip from the pedestal without a second thought.

Mathew Grimes had watched his actions in silence from behind. Upon catching the technique's title that Max selected, a flicker crossed his face.

"Oh," Mathew Grimes chuckled softly. "You chose the Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art."

Curiosity drew Max to turn toward him.

"Yes," he answered. "This technique seems very suitable for me."

Mathew Grimes nodded deliberately before resuming.

"This inheritance technique has been in the possession of the Black Dragon Clan for thousands of years," he elaborated. "However, for some reason nobody in the clan has ever been able to cultivate it successfully."

Surprise flashed in Max's gaze toward him.

"No one?" he inquired.

Mathew Grimes shook his head.

"The difficulty of this technique lies in its foundation," he stated. "To reach the first stage the practitioner must compress their black flames into a single lotus inside their body. That alone requires an extremely high level of control over the flames. Most cultivators cannot even begin to achieve that level of compression without losing control of their power."

He halted for a moment before pressing on.

"As for the later stages, the difficulty increases exponentially. By the time someone reaches the fifth stage they must compress all of the black flames in their body into five separate lotus cores."

A faint smile curved Mathew Grimes' lips.

"Such a feat is considered nearly impossible."

Max absorbed the words in quiet contemplation.

Mathew Grimes went on with his account.

"In the entire history of the Black Dragon Clan, only one person has ever managed to cultivate this technique to any significant degree."

He shot a quick look at Lady Virelia before proceeding.

"That person was a Saintess of our clan from many generations ago. Her talent with black flames was extraordinary. Even so, she was only able to reach the third stage of the Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art before she could not progress any further."

His eyes shifted back to Max.

"Beyond the third stage the compression required for the technique becomes so extreme that even the most talented cultivators have failed to achieve it."

Mathew Grimes shrugged casually then.

"That is why this technique has remained in the ancestral chamber for thousands of years without anyone mastering it."

Max's face betrayed no doubt despite the revelation.

Rather, his gaze burned with heightened fascination as it dropped to the jade slip clutched in his palm.

Max lingered over the Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art jade slip a bit longer, nodding resolutely at last. Its grueling demands and the challenges Mathew Grimes outlined weighed on him seriously.

Yet those same rigors rendered it priceless to him. Multifaceted combat enhancement all at once, plus the allure of forging lotus cores from his black flames internally—it all captivated him deeply.

"I like this one," Max declared steadily, slipping the jade slip into his storage ring. "So I will take it anyway."

Mathew Grimes offered a casual shrug.

"It is your choice," he responded.

He refrained from further dissuasion. Though the technique loomed as infamously tough, Max stood apart from typical disciples. His feats in the Combat Legion Tower had showcased exceptional talent and resolve.

Max acknowledged with a nod and resumed hunting his subsequent inheritance.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
