Chapter 684: A Peek of True Strength
’Just what kind of strength is this Buddha inheritance?’ Max thought, gritting his teeth as his boots cracked deeper into the shattered earth.
Every muscle in his arms was straining, his sword trembling under the crushing pressure of the six radiant golden palms descending from the towering Buddha shadow behind Noah.
Sweat dripped from his chin, trailing down his neck, soaking into the black scales covering his body. His vision blurred for a moment, but he forced it to focus, unwilling to falter.
His mind spun, racing to comprehend the sheer might he was facing. The sword strike he had used just now—it wasn’t weak. In fact, it was probably the second most powerful attack in his entire arsenal when it came to raw sharpness and destructive capability if he was talking about using just one inheritance, only falling short to the terrifying might of his triple flame concept inheritance.
And yet... he was being pushed back. Overpowered. The palms weren’t just powerful—they carried the weight of belief, of faith, of an inheritance that embodied centuries of transcendence. Max clenched his jaw harder, veins bulging along his arms and neck, but he refused to take a step back.
Max knew deep down, if it had been anyone else in his position, even a 5th level Champion Rank genius, they would’ve crumbled under this pressure long ago.
What was keeping him on his feet wasn’t just his raw strength—it was his level 2 Concept of Severing Sword, sharpened with the edge of invincibility, the will to sever all obstacles, to never yield.
It was the 600 Draconic Essences roaring inside his body, amplified further by his Dragon Scales Transformation. It was the refusal in his soul to kneel before anyone or anything, no matter how divine they seemed. And it was that stubborn, almost irrational flame of defiance that still kept him standing... even as the sky itself seemed to press down on him.
’Should I use another concept?’ Max pondered amidst the deafening pressure pressing down on him. The golden palms shimmered with divine weight, glowing brighter as if to erase his existence entirely.
