Max was deeply immersed in contemplation, refining the outline of a devouring path for his flames, when a subtle shift in the surrounding energy caught his attention. The oppressive fire of the twenty first layer had not changed in density, yet something within him stirred.

The Chaos Tree, which had grown quiet after the final bud matured into fruit, began to move again.

A faint pull formed inside his chest.

"What is going on?" Max frowned slightly as he focused inward.

He was certain that after all five buds had transformed into dark red fruits, the devouring process had stabilized. The fruits had hung calmly upon the flame branch, radiating condensed authority but no longer aggressively siphoning the surrounding laws.

Yet now, without his command, energy from the twenty first layer began flowing into him once more.

Curious and alert, Max turned his consciousness inward to examine the Chaos Tree.

What he saw startled him.

All five dark red fruits were glowing simultaneously.

Their surfaces shimmered with intense crimson radiance, far brighter than before. Fine lines of light connected them, forming an intricate network across the flame branch. The five fruits were no longer isolated entities. They were resonating with one another.

The resonance deepened with each passing moment.

The surrounding chaotic flame laws of the twenty first layer trembled faintly as streams of refined energy were drawn inward. However, unlike before, this absorption was no longer limited to strengthening the flame branch itself.

The energy flowed beyond the fruits.

It entered his meridians.

It circulated through his body.

Max’s eyes widened.

"The energy is entering my cultivation base," he realized.

The refined chaotic flame laws, compressed and purified by the resonance of the five fruits, were being converted into a form his body could directly absorb. Instead of merely nourishing the Chaos Tree, the energy was now strengthening his cultivation.

He felt it clearly.

His Rebirth Realm foundation trembled slightly as the influx of refined power merged into it. The first level of the Rebirth Realm stabilized further, becoming denser and more profound. His internal aura grew subtly stronger.

Max had previously attempted to devour the energy of the Path through his black flames to increase his cultivation, but the laws governing the trial had rejected that approach. The Path to Eternal Flames was not meant to be plundered recklessly. Its structure prevented direct absorption through ordinary means.

Yet now, the Chaos Tree had found a way around that limitation.

The five fruits resonated in unison, refining the surrounding chaotic flame laws to such a degree that the energy lost its oppressive nature. It became pure nourishment.

Max could not suppress the faint smile forming on his lips.

"So this is the deeper function of the fruits," he murmured.

They were not merely condensed law fragments.

They were converters.

The Path to Eternal Flames still burned fiercely around him, its sovereign authority intact. Yet through the resonance of the five fruits, its energy was being subtly siphoned, refined, and integrated into his cultivation without violating the trial’s restrictions.

He felt his foundation strengthening steadily.

The more the fruits resonated, the more efficiently they drew in energy.

Max closed his eyes once more, but this time not merely to comprehend.

He allowed the resonance to continue.

The Chaos Tree, once again, had begun to reveal another layer of its mysterious purpose.

"At this rate, I might break through to the Second Level of the Rebirth Realm," Max muttered under his breath as he sensed the terrifying density of energy within the Twenty First Layer and the equally terrifying speed at which the Chaos Tree was absorbing it.

The energy here was far denser than anything below, filled with violent intent and compressed vitality that would have crushed an ordinary cultivator into dust. Yet the Chaos Tree did not reject it. Instead, it devoured it.

At first, the absorption was steady, like a powerful river flowing into a vast sea. The energy streamed into the five fruits to leaves, passed through the branches, and descended into the trunk where it was refined by the chaotic essence that formed the foundation of Max’s existence.

From there, it transformed into a purer, more obedient force before being released into his meridians. His bones trembled faintly as that refined power entered them. His flesh tightened, his blood grew hotter, and the veins within him expanded under the constant pressure.

The sensation was not painful, yet it was far from comfortable. It felt as though every cell in his body was being dismantled and reconstructed with greater precision.

As minutes passed, Max noticed something subtle. The rate of absorption was no longer constant. The Chaos Tree was adapting.

The leaves that had once flickered gently now glowed with deeper luster. Their surfaces seemed to ripple as if they had developed an appetite. The surrounding energy of the Twenty First Layer began to swirl more violently, forming visible currents that spiraled toward Max’s position.

ven the oppressive pressure in the air shifted slightly, as though a vortex had been born at the center of the layer. The Chaos Tree did not merely accept the energy now. It pulled it in.

The transformation within his body accelerated. His inner source expanded outward with a deep resonant hum, and the chaotic energy within it began to rotate at greater speed. The whirlpool of power compressed upon itself repeatedly, becoming denser and heavier with each cycle.

His aura, which had been stable at the peak of the First Level of the Rebirth Realm, began to tremble uncontrollably. Fine cracks appeared within the invisible barrier that separated his current realm from the next.

Max gritted his teeth as waves of force surged through his limbs. The bones within his arms and legs emitted faint cracking sounds as impurities were forced out and reduced to nothing under the chaotic refinement.

His heartbeat grew louder in his ears, each pulse synchronized with the rotation of the Chaos Tree’s core. The connection between him and the tree deepened, as though their existences were merging into a singular cultivation engine.

Then it happened.
