Chapter 1693 Three Lives!
Chapter 1693 Three Lives!
Max immediately turned toward the source of the shout afterward.
However, the moment he saw the figure rushing toward him, even he became slightly surprised.
Because the one charging toward him was actually the exact same demon he had just killed moments ago.
The same dark black skin.
The same crimson horns.
Even the gigantic battle axe remained identical.
At that moment, Max's brows instantly furrowed slightly.
He was certain he had already blown apart the demon's upper body completely earlier.
The demon should have been eliminated entirely.
Yet now—
He was standing there alive once again.
Meanwhile, the demon himself clearly looked completely enraged now.
"You lowly human!" the demon roared furiously while charging toward Max once again. "I will split your body apart piece by piece!"
Boom!!!
The gigantic battle axe tore through the air violently while demonic aura exploded outward once more.
However, Max no longer even bothered speaking this time.
The instant the demon approached him, star-like light instantly condensed around Max's fist once again.
Then—
Boom!!!
Max directly unleashed another Star Fist toward the demon.
The terrifying stellar force exploded outward instantly.
The demon's body once again exploded apart into blood mist completely without possessing the slightest ability to resist.
At the same time, another notification appeared before Max's eyes.
[Killing Points +50]
[Current Killing Points: 150]
Seeing this, Max's eyes narrowed slightly afterward.
Only fifty points this time.
Meanwhile, before Max could continue thinking further, his Dimensional Sovereign Body instinctively activated.
Invisible dimensional perception instantly spread throughout the enormous battlefield and beyond it.
The range of his senses rapidly expanded outward.
Then suddenly—
Max saw something.
Inside the enormous castle standing in the distance, the demon he had just killed moments ago had appeared once again.
Alive.
Completely unharmed.
The moment Max realized this, his expression immediately became thoughtful.
"So that is how it works…"
At that moment, everything finally became clear to him.
Participants did not truly die after being killed here.
Instead, they revived again inside the castle afterward.
The battlefield outside merely functioned as a giant slaughter zone where everyone continuously fought and stole Killing Points from one another.
However—
That realization immediately caused another question to appear within Max's mind.
"If participants revive after dying…" Max muttered softly.
"Then exactly how many times can one revive here?"
Just as Max continued wondering about the revival rules of the Cosmic Ascension Conference, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
Because unlike earlier, the demon he killed twice did not charge back toward the battlefield immediately after reviving.
Instead, the demon appeared extremely panicked.
The moment he revived inside the castle, he immediately began rushing away from the battlefield area entirely as though terrified of something.
Seeing this, a sharp light instantly flashed through Max's eyes.
Then without hesitation, Max directly withdrew from the chaotic battlefield and silently followed after the fleeing demon.
With the Vein of Speed and Dimensional Sovereign Body assisting him, Max moved through the surroundings silently without attracting much attention at all.
Meanwhile, the demon continuously looked behind himself nervously while leaving the castle area rapidly.
Clearly, the previous two deaths had already completely shattered his confidence.
However, just as the demon finally believed he had escaped safely—
A figure suddenly appeared directly before him.
The demon's body instantly froze afterward.
Because standing before him calmly was none other than Max himself.
"You…"
The demon's crimson eyes widened completely in horror.
At that moment, his earlier arrogance had completely disappeared.
Instead, only fear remained.
Meanwhile, Max calmly looked toward him before speaking softly,
"So you really do revive after dying."
The demon instinctively took several steps backward afterward.
"No… no…" he muttered panickedly.
Then suddenly, the demon hurriedly shouted,
"Please do not kill me again!"
The sudden begging honestly surprised Max slightly.
After all, moments earlier, this same demon had looked eager to split him apart with a battle axe.
Yet now—
He looked completely terrified.
Max calmly looked toward him afterward before asking,
"And why exactly should I not kill you again?"
The demon's expression immediately became even uglier afterward.
Then, after hesitating briefly, he hurriedly explained,
"All participants in the Cosmic Ascension Conference only possess three lives!"
The moment those words entered Max's ears, his eyes immediately sharpened slightly.
Meanwhile, the demon continued speaking rapidly in panic.
"If someone dies once, they revive inside the castle."
"If they die twice, they revive again."
"But if they die all three times…"
Fear completely filled the demon's face afterward.
"They will be truly eliminated from the Cosmic Ascension Conference forever!"
The surroundings gradually became silent afterward.
Meanwhile, Max finally understood completely.
So that was the rule.
Every participant possessed only three total lives.
Once all three were exhausted—
Their participation in the Cosmic Ascension Conference would end permanently.
Just at that moment, Max suddenly seemed to think of something.
Then a faint sneer slowly appeared across his face.
"Who exactly are you trying to fool here?" Max asked while looking directly toward the demon.
The demon's expression instantly stiffened afterward.
Meanwhile, Max slowly smiled afterward, although there was not the slightest warmth within that smile.
"You said everyone only possesses three lives," Max continued calmly. "But unfortunately for you…"
A faint dangerous light gradually appeared within his eyes.
"I still have no way of knowing whether that information is actually true or not."
The moment those words entered the demon's ears, his face instantly turned pale.
Meanwhile, Max slowly continued walking toward him.
"And since I am currently very curious about how the revival system truly works…"
His smile gradually widened slightly afterward.
"I suppose I will simply have to test it personally."
The demon immediately panicked completely afterward.
"No! Wait!"
He instinctively stepped backward repeatedly while fear completely filled his crimson eyes.
"You already killed me twice! I am not lying!"
However, Max no longer showed any interest in listening.
"Sadly for you," Max replied calmly, "you happened to become the perfect test subject."
The instant those words fell, the Vein of Speed activated instantly.
Boom!!!
The surrounding ground exploded violently.
Before the demon could even properly react, Max's figure had already appeared directly before him.
The demon's pupils contracted completely in horror.
"So fast—!"
He did not even finish speaking.
Boom!!!
Max directly unleashed another Star Fist toward the demon's chest.
Terrifying stellar force exploded outward instantly.
This time, the demon's entire body exploded apart completely into blood mist before even possessing the slightest chance to resist.
At the same time, another notification appeared before Max's eyes.
[Killing Points +25]
[Current Killing Points: 175]
Meanwhile, Max's gaze immediately shifted toward the enormous castle afterward.
Then, under the perception of the Dimensional Sovereign Body—
He saw it clearly.
The demon was once again revived inside the castle.
