When the projection showed Max moving once again within the twelfth layer, the entire viewing platform fell into stunned disbelief.
"He is still advancing," an elder said, his voice almost hoarse from shock. "He has not stopped."
Another elder stared upward with wide eyes. "Is Max not at his limits yet? This is the twelfth layer and he is still going strong."
The murmurs grew louder as the realization spread.
"How is this possible?" a disciple exclaimed. "He is only at the first level of the Rebirth Realm. The pressure here should be unbearable. Even the Saintess of the past could not step into this layer, yet he is walking through it."
"It makes no sense," another elder added, shaking his head slowly. "At this depth, the flame laws are refined to the extreme. The authority here should crush a Rebirth Realm cultivator instantly."
