Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 - Chapter 2090

Chapter 2090: Against a Primordial!

“This place isn’t a training ground for children,” the Primordial went on. His tone wasn’t insulting so much as frustrated. “We Primordials already have enemies everywhere. The Angel Race watches us, the Devil Race hunts us, and the Dragon Race competes with us constantly. The Spirit Race may be more neutral, but they’re still rivals.”

He looked straight at Max. “Every Primordial who enters this place represents our race.”

His eyes flicked briefly to Max’s cultivation. “And you walked in at the 1st level of the Law Manifestation Realm.”

Max understood his point. The man didn’t hate him. He simply disliked the idea of someone entering such a dangerous place while looking so weak, because to him, Max’s presence here reflected badly on the Primordial Race.

After a moment, the Primordial shook his head. “Whatever strength you showed in Bloodstone City, I still think this place came too early for you.”

His primordial aura began to rise. “You don’t belong here yet.”

Max smiled faintly. “You can decide that after the fight.”

The Primordial’s eyes sharpened. “Fair enough.”

Then his middle eye opened. A vertical slit appeared between his brows, and golden-red light burst out of it, changing the atmosphere of the arena in an instant.

Max’s expression grew a little more focused, because this wasn’t merely a change in appearance. It was a bloodline ability.

The Primordial’s aura surged and his muscles tightened. Faint luminous patterns spread across his skin as waves of primordial force rolled off his body, and the increase in strength was immediate.

Then he moved.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet cracked as he vanished.

Max barely had time to raise Dragonheart.

Clang!

A fist slammed into the blade, and the impact exploded through the arena as Max slid back several meters.

His opponent was already in front of him again with another punch coming. Max turned the sword sideways, and the fist collided with Dragonheart.

Clang!

The Primordial twisted and followed with his elbow. Max leaned back, and the attack passed inches from his face.

Then Max countered, sweeping Dragonheart toward the man’s ribs. The Primordial blocked with his forearm as metallic light flashed across his skin.

Clang!

Max’s eyes narrowed, since the bloodline ability was clearly strengthening the man’s entire body.

The Primordial stepped in again, and his attacks grew faster. Punches, palms, knees, and elbows came one after another, with every movement flowing smoothly into the next.

Max answered with Dragonheart, since he didn’t think he would need to show his physical strength here. The sword never stopped moving as he blocked, redirected, countered, and slashed.

The pace of the battle climbed quickly, and the arena echoed with repeated collisions.

Clang! Boom! Clang! Boom!

The Primordial’s expression slowly changed. He had been calm at first, and then he became serious, and finally he looked confused.

Max was matching him, and not through a single lucky exchange or some hidden treasure. He was matching him move after move.

When the Primordial attacked from above, Max blocked. When he changed direction, Max countered. When he tried to overwhelm Max with raw physical strength, Max shifted his stance and redirected the force. When he increased his speed, Max kept pace.

The fight grew faster. The Primordial’s third eye glowed brighter and his bloodline power kept rising, yet Max remained right in front of him.

Sword light flashed across the arena. The Primordial ducked, and Max turned his wrist so Dragonheart reversed direction. The Primordial raised his arm.

Clang!

He jumped backward, and for the first time, surprise showed plainly on his face. “How?”

Max stood several meters away, holding Dragonheart casually.

The Primordial stared at him. “You’re at the 1st level of the Law Manifestation Realm.”

Max gave a faint smile. “And?”

The Primordial’s expression tightened. “And you’ve traded more than a hundred moves with me.”

His eyes moved to Dragonheart, then back to Max. “You haven’t even used the power you showed in Bloodstone City.”

That was what shocked him most. Max hadn’t opened all six Divine Veins, and he was still keeping up.

The Primordial finally understood something, which was that the rumors had actually understated Max. His pride vanished, and what replaced it was genuine caution.

“Fine.” His third eye flared. “If ordinary strength isn’t enough, then I’ll stop holding back.”

The entire arena trembled as primordial law power gathered around him and the luminous patterns on his body spread further. Then a vast pressure descended.

“Pseudo Cosmic Path,” he said as the air turned heavy. “Primordial War Heaven.”

A massive phantom appeared behind him. It looked like an ancient warrior made of primordial light, towering over the arena with both hands wrapped around an enormous battle axe.

The Primordial raised his arm, and the phantom mirrored him. The pressure became terrifying.

Max looked upward. “Now that’s more interesting.”

The axe came down, and the space around it distorted.

Max didn’t move aside. Instead, he raised his left hand.

One blue ring appeared around his wrist, then another, and then another. Within moments, ten glowing void rings surrounded both of his arms.

It was the Ten Void Sealing Art.

The Primordial’s eyes widened. “What is that?”

Max closed his hand, and the ten rings expanded before flying upward.

The first void ring struck the descending axe, the second wrapped around the phantom’s arm, the third sealed the surrounding law power, and the fourth locked the space around the attack, while the remaining rings spread across the entire pseudo cosmic path.

The Primordial’s expression changed completely. His attack slowed, and then it stopped altogether. The massive primordial warrior froze in midair with the battle axe hanging above Max’s head.

The Primordial stared in disbelief. “My pseudo cosmic path…”

Max’s voice stayed calm. “Sealed.”

The void rings tightened, and the enormous phantom trembled violently.

Then Max raised Dragonheart as the Emotion Severing Path awakened, and a strange pressure spread across the arena.

The Primordial’s expression darkened as his instincts screamed one word at him.

Danger.

Max swung his sword.

The sword light passed through the sealed pseudo cosmic path, and the connection between the Primordial and his phantom was severed. The enormous warrior shattered, the battle axe dissolved, and the law power collapsed.

The Primordial staggered, and before he could recover, Max moved. Dragonheart appeared in front of his chest.

The Primordial raised both arms, but it was far too late. The Emotion Severing Path cut straight through his defense, and his battle projection froze as cracks spread across his body.

He stared at Max, and there was no anger left in his eyes, only disbelief. “So this is why they let you in…”

His body started dissolving into light.

Max lowered Dragonheart. “You were right about one thing.”

The Primordial looked at him.

Max smiled faintly. “I shouldn’t be underestimated.”

A moment later, the Primordial vanished completely.

A system notification appeared.

[Battle concluded.]

[Winner: Max Voidwalker.]

[Loser: Caelen.]

[100 Bronze Marks transferred.]

Max glanced at the message before dismissing it.

The fight had been useful, and more importantly, he now had enough Bronze Marks to enter the Second Shadow Trial.
