N-M Chapter 1726 Karo's Panick!
Chapter 1726 Karo's Panick!
Max slowly raised his gaze and looked at Karo through the storm of black-red mist and draconic pressure.
His smile returned.
But this time, it looked far more dangerous than before.
"You wanted me to reveal my path," Max said calmly, his voice carrying through the trembling arena. "But for someone like you, this is enough."
Karo's face twisted with fury.
Above him, the Abyssal Burial Spear finally finished forming, and the massive weapon released a world-burying pressure as it pointed straight toward Max.
"Die!"
Karo pushed both hands down.
The Abyssal Burial Spear descended.
At the same time, Max stepped forward.
The entire arena cracked beneath that single step.
The Abyssal Burial Spear descended with world-burying pressure, and as it fell, the entire Abyssal Grave of the Fallen seemed to move with it. The black-red mist roared upward like a sea of death, the broken tombstones released waves of suppressive force, and the countless fallen silhouettes dissolved into the spear one after another, causing its aura to become heavier, darker, and far more terrifying with every passing instant.
It was no longer merely an attack thrown by Karo. It was the full wrath of his Pseudo Cosmic Path, a strike created to bury Max beneath the resentment of the dead and crush his body, spirit, vitality, and will in one blow.
Yet Max only stepped forward.
The arena cracked beneath his foot.
Then his right fist clenched.
Brilliant star-like radiance erupted around his knuckles, and five blazing star marks appeared within the light, each one spinning with terrifying force as if five miniature stars had been compressed into his fist.
At the same time, the full power of his five thousand Draconic Essences raged through his body without the slightest suppression, causing his black dragon scales to shine with a deep chaotic light, while the sound of roaring dragons seemed to echo from within his flesh.
His blood boiled like molten thunder, his bones trembled with overwhelming strength, and the power gathering in his fist became so monstrous that even the air around his arm began to collapse and twist.
Star Fist.
Power of five stars.
Full release of five thousand Draconic Essences.
The moment these two forces fused together, the entire Combat Hall seemed to lose its sound.
Even Karo's expression changed.
For the first time, his eyes showed true fear.
He could feel it clearly now. The power gathering in Max's fist was not something his Abyssal Burial Spear could easily suppress.
It was violent, pure, and unbelievably heavy, and when that draconic strength merged with the five-star power, it felt as if Max was not preparing to punch with a human fist, but with the crushing weight of five stars and the combined rage of five thousand dragons.
"No..." Karo muttered instinctively, but the word barely left his mouth before Max moved.
Max punched forward.
Boom!
The five-star radiance shot upward like a blazing celestial pillar, and the draconic power inside it roared with enough force to shake the entire arena. The fist light collided head-on with the Abyssal Burial Spear, and for a single instant, the spear seemed to stop in midair.
Black-red energy and starry light crashed against each other, deathly mist and chaotic draconic pressure tore through the battlefield, and the shockwave that erupted from their collision slammed into the barrier so fiercely that countless ripples spread across its surface.
Karo gritted his teeth and poured everything into his Pseudo Cosmic Path.
The Abyssal Grave of the Fallen trembled violently, and every remaining tombstone shattered at once, transforming into more abyssal force that surged into the spear. The fallen silhouettes screamed without sound, and their resentment poured into the attack like fuel thrown into a dying flame.
Karo's crimson eyes became bloodshot as he tried to force the spear downward, desperate to bury Max beneath the full might of his path.
But Max's fist did not retreat.
It rose.
One inch.
Then another.
Crack!
A sharp sound echoed from the Abyssal Burial Spear.
Karo's pupils contracted.
A long crack appeared across the body of the massive spear, and from that crack, brilliant star-like light burst outward like dawn tearing through a grave. The black-red runes covering the spear flickered wildly, but they could not withstand the force pressing against them.
Max's five-star fist power crushed forward, and the strength of five thousand Draconic Essences surged behind it like an endless tide, pushing through the spear's suppressive power with brutal and unstoppable force.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
More cracks spread across the Abyssal Burial Spear.
The enormous weapon that had carried the resentment of the fallen and the pressure of Karo's Pseudo Cosmic Path began to break apart under Max's punch. Its tip shattered first, then the shaft split open, then the blood-red runes collapsed one after another, and the countless fallen silhouettes trapped within the spear were torn apart by the blazing star radiance before they could even struggle.
Karo's face twisted in disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Max's eyes remained cold.
His fist pushed forward completely.
Bang!
The Abyssal Burial Spear exploded.
A storm of black-red energy burst across the arena, but before it could spread, Max's fist light tore through it and continued forward. The five-star radiance did not stop after destroying the spear.
It rushed straight into the heart of the Abyssal Grave of the Fallen, smashing through the black-red mist, shattering the remaining tombstones, and crushing the grave-like domain from the inside out.
The entire Pseudo Cosmic Path began to collapse.
The battlefield graveyard that Karo had summoned trembled violently, and the abyssal mist that had swallowed the arena was ripped apart by Max's draconic pressure. Tombstones cracked and vanished.
Fallen silhouettes screamed and dissolved. The suppressive force that had tried to bury everything broke apart like rotten wood beneath a hammer. In only a few breaths, the terrifying Abyssal Grave of the Fallen, which had made humans, demons, and elves feel chills across their backs, was being destroyed by the raw, overwhelming might of Max's fist.
Karo staggered backward.
Blood burst from his mouth.
His Pseudo Cosmic Path was connected to his power, his will, and his foundation. The moment Max began crushing it, the backlash struck him like a mountain collapsing onto his soul. His body trembled, his aura became chaotic, and the confident demon who had entered the arena to steal one million Killing Points finally looked as if he had seen something beyond his understanding.
Max stepped forward again.
His fist light pierced through the final layer of the Abyssal Grave of the Fallen.
Bang!
The grave-like domain shattered completely.
The black-red mist vanished.
The tombstones disappeared.
The fallen silhouettes were annihilated.
Karo's Pseudo Cosmic Path was destroyed in front of everyone.
The Combat Hall fell into deathly silence.
Then Max appeared before Karo.
There was no warning.
There was no chance to dodge.
Karo had barely raised his head when Max's fist, still burning with five-star radiance and the terrifying power of five thousand Draconic Essences, arrived in front of his chest.
For the first time, Karo's face showed panic.
"Wait..."
Max's expression did not change.
His fist landed.
23:53
Boom!
Karo's body bent violently around the impact, and the remaining demonic energy protecting him shattered instantly. The five-star power erupted through his body, while the force of five thousand Draconic Essences crushed his bones, organs, and demonic core in the same breath.
His crimson eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the arrogance that had been carved into his face since the beginning vanished completely beneath the overwhelming force of Max's punch.
Then his body exploded into nothingness.
There was no final roar.
There was no chance to resist.
Karo, the demon who had waited until Max gathered one million Killing Points, the demon who had revealed his Pseudo Cosmic Path and tried to bury Max beneath the Abyssal Grave of the Fallen, was obliterated by a single punch.
The moment he died, an enormous amount of crimson light erupted across the arena.
His Killing Points scattered like a storm of blood-red stars, filling the shattered battlefield with dazzling radiance. The amount was far greater than any opponent Max had defeated so far, and the display above the arena flickered violently as the trial recognized the end of the tenth battle.
