Chapter 528: Five levels of a Concept
Max took a slow breath, letting his gaze wander over the fine furnishings. His eyes eventually settled on a particular section of the bookshelf, where a collection of books sat neatly aligned.
One title immediately caught his attention—True Inheritance. The spine was etched in gold, and something about it pulled at his curiosity. He stepped forward, took the book from its place, and began to flip through its pages.
The text within was written in an elegant hand, detailing the structure, expectations, and trials that lay ahead for anyone chosen to complete the True Inheritance of the Black Dragon Palace.
The deeper Max read, the clearer the picture became: intense spiritual training, law comprehension chambers, physical trials designed to push his body beyond its limits, and above all, a test involving the Nine Dragons Painting—a legendary trial that every genius had to go through.
"I’m going to be busy from tomorrow," Max muttered, closing the book with a thoughtful expression. He carefully placed it back where it belonged, then turned and walked toward the bed, letting his body settle on its edge.
"It also mentioned there are a total of five levels in a Concept... in any Concept," Max muttered under his breath, brows slightly raised in thought as he sat back on the edge of the bed. A hint of genuine surprise lingered in his voice.
He had expected a Concept to have levels like Auras but to have five levels was a surprise for him too.
"If a Level 1 Concept is already this strong..." Max murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly, "then how terrifying would a Level 5 Concept be?"
He tried to imagine it—sword energy so refined it could slice through space itself, flames that ignored physical resistance and burned through Laws, space so dense and precise it could fold realms... His mind buzzed with the possibilities.
He couldn’t even begin to grasp how someone wielding a fully mastered Concept would fight.
That level of control... that kind of power... it had to be the domain of Divine Rank experts—those unfathomable existences that ruled the Middle Domain and stood at the summit of Acaris.
