Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1634 Jonathan and Julie

Despite not knowing the precise location of the Violet Star Palace's Combat Tower, Max maintained his pace without hesitation. His Dimensional Sovereign Body extended silently, his perception unfurling like an invisible tide across the expansive surroundings. Every structure, every path, and every ripple of Qi became perceptible as he searched with meticulous accuracy.

After a fleeting moment of comprehensive scanning, he located it.

A subtle smile graced his features.

"Found it," he mused internally.

Without a further second wasted, his form surged forward, cleaving the air as he propelled himself in the identified direction with controlled velocity.

The Combat Tower had consistently been among his principal targets.

From the outset, one of the primary motivations behind Max's decision to engage in the Smelting Trial was the very existence of these towers. Now that he had finally reached the Violet Star Palace, there was absolutely no possibility of him overlooking such a significant opportunity. The prospect of entering the tower and uncovering its secrets filled him with a quiet sense of anticipation.

More importantly, a very specific objective occupied his mind.

The other section of the Overlord Body Codex.

That particular fragment resided somewhere within this tower, and Max harbored no intention of postponing its retrieval. He was determined to secure it as swiftly as possible, put the matter to rest, and redirect his undivided attention back to the Smelting Trial itself.

Having undergone the initial trial, his perspective had undergone a marked transformation.

He had initially underestimated its significance, but he now possessed a clear understanding of its true worth. The Smelting Trial was not merely a test of skill; it was a profound opportunity for self-refinement, for pushing one's boundaries, and for achieving breakthroughs that would otherwise demand considerably more time under conventional circumstances. If utilized effectively, his power could escalate substantially before the commencement of the Cosmic Ascension Conference.

This prospect alone rendered it something he absolutely could not afford to disregard.

"I just hope that entering the Combat Tower and retrieving the remaining component of the Overlord Body Codex doesn't precipitate any needless complications," Max murmured softly as his pace gradually diminished.

Before long, the colossal structure loomed into view.

The Combat Tower stood majestically and imposingly, its very presence exuding an ancient aura that seemed to impose itself upon the senses. It felt less like a mere edifice and more akin to a silent sentinel that had stood for eons, guarding those who dared to confront its challenge.

Max halted at a moderate distance, his gaze tilting slightly as he surveyed the massive structure.

From his understanding, the Combat Towers dispersed among various factions were not entirely isolated entities. A deeper interconnectedness existed between them.

Given that he had already ascended to the hundredth floor within the Black Dragon Clan's Combat Tower, he harbored a strong conviction that this tower would acknowledge that prior accomplishment. If his hypothesis proved accurate, he should be afforded the ability to bypass the lower levels and gain direct access to the uppermost floor here as well.

That very thought caused his eyes to narrow slightly.

However, before he could take even a single step forward, a voice emanated from behind him.

"Are you Max?"

The query carried a distinct blend of curiosity and subtle challenge.

Max paused in his tracks and pivoted to face the source of the voice.

A group of individuals was now advancing towards him.

As his gaze settled upon them, his expression underwent a subtle shift, becoming notably more serious.

While he did not recognize them on a personal basis, their visages were nevertheless not entirely unfamiliar.

They were, without exception, among the top ten finishers of the Weapon Master Trial.

During the earlier display of rankings, the system had not only presented names and scores but had also revealed the countenances of the participants. Max had allocated a brief period to observe them, imprinting their appearances into his memory.

Now, those very individuals stood directly before him.

Their collective presence was far from ordinary.

Each of them emanated a formidable aura that clearly distinguished them from the general pool of participants. The pressure they exerted was steady and refined, serving as a clear indication that they had all attained the apex of the Law Manifestation Realm. Even within a gathering replete with geniuses, their distinctiveness was self-evident, requiring no verbal affirmation.

Yet, amidst this group, four individuals possessed a notably distinct aura.

They did not merely stand out due to their cultivation levels but due to the quiet gravitas in their demeanor, as if they were accustomed to occupying the focal point of attention. Their expressions remained composed, their gazes steady, and even the other members of the group seemed to instinctively accord them a greater measure of personal space.

A young man stepped to the forefront of the group, a faint smile gracing his lips as he directed his gaze squarely at Max.

"Hehe, we've been anticipating the opportunity to meet you," he stated, his tone exuding a relaxed and amicable quality, though a subtle undercurrent of curiosity was perceptible.

He placed a hand lightly on his chest as he proceeded to introduce himself.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Jonathan Myres, a true disciple of the Violet Star Palace. You may simply address me as Jonathan."

As he announced, his hand swept towards the individuals accompanying him, indicating his intention to present them as well.

"And these are-"

Nevertheless, before his introduction could be completed, a young woman emerged with fluid grace, her bearing characterized by an understated elegance, yet her hidden power was undeniable.

"I am Julie, representing the Storm Alliance," she stated, her tone serene and agreeable. "Your reputation precedes you."

Max offered a subtle nod in their direction, his expression neutral as he acknowledged both individuals.

"Jonathan. Julie. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," he responded.

Identification was immediate.

Jonathan had achieved the second rank in the initial trial, with Julie securing the third. Their formidable status rendered their approach far more significant than that of the others present.

Yet, this moment of polite exchange was fleeting.

A figure advanced from the periphery, his features contorted by contempt, a frigid smirk adorning his lips as he condescended to eye Max.

"You possess no discernible strength," he declared, his voice dripping with derision. "Pray tell, by what means did you resort to deception to attain the top position?"

Immediately following, another individual stepped forth, his tone escalating in aggression.

"Speak up. Illuminate us, you fraud. How did you achieve it?"

The animosity projected by their words was palpable.

A number of others within the contingent observed the unfolding scene in silence, their countenances inscrutable, seemingly awaiting Max's reaction.
