Chapter 1694 Four Times Killing Means True Death!
Chapter 1694 Four Times Killing Means True Death!
Seeing this, Max finally understood clearly.
"So that is how it works…" Max muttered thoughtfully.
"If everyone possesses three lives here, that means participants can die three separate times before being truly eliminated from the Cosmic Ascension Conference."
A faint smile slowly appeared across his face afterward.
At that moment, Max had finally grasped the true rules governing this battlefield.
Meanwhile, not far away, the revived demon looked completely terrified now.
The moment he revived inside the castle once again, he immediately began rushing toward the outer region desperately, clearly trying to escape from Max entirely.
However—
Boom!!!
Max's figure suddenly blurred before disappearing instantly.
The next moment, he directly appeared before the fleeing demon once again.
The demon's body froze completely afterward.
His crimson eyes widened in absolute horror.
"No…"
The demon instinctively stepped backward repeatedly while his entire body trembled visibly now.
Clearly, the previous deaths had already completely shattered his courage.
Meanwhile, Max calmly looked toward him silently.
That calm expression only made the demon even more terrified.
"Please!" the demon suddenly shouted desperately. "Do not kill me again!"
Fear completely filled his face afterward.
"I was telling the truth! I swear I was not lying to you!"
The demon's voice even began trembling slightly now.
"You already killed me three times! Please spare me just this once!"
At that moment, the demon no longer possessed even the slightest arrogance from earlier.
He looked completely broken.
Meanwhile, Max simply observed him quietly without the slightest change in expression.
Then eventually, Max slowly spoke.
"It seems your information was indeed correct."
The demon's expression immediately brightened slightly afterward as though he had finally seen hope.
However, before he could say anything else—
Max's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"But unfortunately for you…"
A faint star-like glow gradually condensed around Max's fist once again.
"I already decided to test it completely."
The moment those words entered the demon's ears, absolute panic instantly filled his face.
"No! Wait! Please!"
The demon desperately tried turning around to escape.
However, it was already too late.
Boom!!!
The Vein of Speed activated instantly.
Before the demon could even properly move, Max had already appeared directly before him once again.
Then—
Boom!!!
The Star Fist Divine Ability erupted completely.
Terrifying stellar force exploded outward instantly before smashing directly into the demon's chest.
The demon's body exploded apart completely into blood mist without leaving behind even the slightest trace.
At the same time, another notification appeared before Max's eyes.
[Killing Points +10]
[Current Killing Points: 185]
Then—
Silence.
This time, even after several moments passed—
The demon never revived again.
"For one to truly die in this world…"
A faint smile slowly appeared across Max's face afterward.
"They actually need to be killed four times in total."
At that moment, Max had finally completely understood the rules governing the battlefield outside the castle.
The first three deaths merely consumed lives.
Only the fourth death resulted in true elimination from the Cosmic Ascension Conference.
Meanwhile, as this realization fully settled within his mind, another thought immediately surfaced afterward.
A dangerous thought.
"This is actually a perfect way to farm Killing Points," Max muttered softly.
After all, every time someone was killed, Killing Points could still be earned from them.
Which meant participants could repeatedly hunt the same targets multiple times before eliminating them completely.
The more Max thought about it, the more absurd the rules of the Cosmic Ascension Conference appeared.
However—
If even Max could realize this method so quickly, then naturally other geniuses throughout the Eternal Hourglass would eventually realize it as well.
And once everyone understood this…
The battlefield would likely become even more terrifying than before.
At that moment, Max slowly lifted his gaze toward the enormous castle standing in the distance.
Countless participants continuously revived there before charging back into the battlefield again.
The atmosphere surrounding the castle honestly resembled a giant slaughterhouse.
"Hehe…"
Max suddenly laughed softly afterward.
"This really is quite fun."
A sharp dangerous light gradually appeared within his eyes afterward.
Meanwhile, his gaze slowly swept across the enormous castle thoughtfully.
At that moment, Max genuinely began wondering something.
Had someone already started hunting everyone within one castle region repeatedly?
Had some monstrous genius already begun wiping out entire groups of participants to harvest enormous amounts of Killing Points?
The more Max thought about it, the more excited he gradually became.
Because if that truly happened—
Then this Cosmic Ascension Conference would become far more brutal and interesting than he originally imagined.
Max no longer wasted his time afterward.
The moment he finished understanding the rules of this battlefield, the Vein of Speed activated instantly.
Boom!!!
His figure blurred before disappearing from the ground completely.
The next moment, Max directly appeared atop the enormous ancient castle overlooking the battlefield below.
From that height, the entire chaotic region became clearly visible before his eyes.
Countless participants slaughtered one another throughout the battlefield endlessly.
Explosions continuously echoed throughout the surroundings.
Sword lights tore through the heavens.
Demonic aura surged wildly everywhere.
Blood stained enormous portions of the battlefield while revived participants continuously rushed out from the castle repeatedly before diving back into the slaughter once again.
The scene honestly resembled complete madness.
Meanwhile, standing atop the highest point of the castle itself, Max quietly observed everything calmly.
The violent winds high above the battlefield caused his clothes to flutter continuously while countless flashes of destruction reflected within his eyes.
Then eventually—
Max slowly sat down atop the castle casually.
He did not immediately join the chaos again.
Instead, a faint smile gradually appeared across his face.
"There is no need to rush."
At that moment, Max had already made his decision.
Rather than wasting effort fighting countless weak participants repeatedly, it would be far more efficient to simply wait.
Wait until stronger participants gathered enormous amounts of Killing Points.
Wait until weaker geniuses gradually became eliminated one after another.
And then—
Sweep everyone remaining afterward.
Max calmly looked down toward the battlefield below while silently waiting.
Meanwhile, above the battlefield itself, enormous golden numbers could be seen floating throughout the sky.
Those numbers represented the total participants remaining alive within this region of the Eternal Hourglass.
And slowly—
The numbers continuously decreased.
Thousands became hundreds.
Hundreds continued dropping lower and lower as the slaughter intensified increasingly.
Every few moments, participants disappeared permanently after exhausting all four lives completely.
The battlefield only became more brutal over time.
Meanwhile, Max simply remained seated atop the castle silently observing everything like a hunter patiently watching prey weaken each other.
"I will move once the numbers drop low enough," Max muttered softly.
His eyes gradually narrowed afterward.
"Perhaps once only ten or so participants remain…"
