Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 749: Twenty Thousand High-Level Soul Power, Limit Break!

After sensing the situation within the Purgatory Space, a fierce expression appeared on Sterl's face.

Within Purgatory Space, there were more than twenty thousand high-level soul puppets that had accumulated over this period.

These soul puppets could quickly be refined into twenty thousand high-level soul power, a massive amount—almost eight or nine times the amount of soul power he had when he activated his second talent!

What he could do now was use these twenty thousand high-level soul power for a desperate counterattack!

If this soul power wasn't enough, he still had many soul puppets accumulated in hell, which could also be converted into resources and battle strength.

Now, there were two options before him.

The first option was to convert all twenty thousand high-level soul power into the Power of Star-Bone, maintaining the Star-Bone Body's duration, and directly face off against the two powerful Divine Powers.

With this amount of high-level soul power, Sterl estimated that it would be enough to sustain Star-Bone Body for one or two hours of intense combat. With the power and vitality granted by the Star-Bone Body, he stood a good chance of winning.

But considering that even his World Shield, which was five times his life force, hadn't lasted long, this still carried a considerable risk.

If these two powerful beings had any hidden trump cards, they could potentially finish him off in an instant.

The other option was to... gather all the high-level soul power and pour it directly into himself or unleash it all in a single, most powerful strike to annihilate everything in its path!

[Soul Devourer Sphere]

[Effect: When the user kills an enemy, the Soul Devourer Sphere automatically absorbs the soul that has just escaped from the enemy's body. The absorbed soul is gradually refined inside the sphere and converted into pure soul energy.

The refined soul energy can be used by the wielder for purposes including but not limited to: restoring and enhancing energy, vitality, physical fitness, Divine Power, comprehension ability, lifespan, and the soul itself.

The wielder of the Soul Devourer Sphere can infuse the pure soul energy into followers, devotees, subordinates, etc., and enhance or restore them according to the wielder's will.

All the pure soul power inside the Soul Devourer Sphere can be concentrated to unleash a [Transcendence] level of terrifying power in an instant (either enhancing oneself or directly exploding). This power cannot be resisted by anything other than soul-related abilities!]

...

This was the effect of the Soul Devourer Sphere. In addition to absorbing and refining souls, it could also be used for soul power enhancement and soul power explosions.

Sterl had used both abilities before.

The first option involved infusing himself with a large amount of soul power, gaining immense combat strength in a short time. This was the method he often used in hell to deal with the invading creatures.

The second option was much more straightforward and brutal—instantaneously consuming all of his abilities to unleash the most powerful, extreme attack.

In the past, when he had been trapped by those invading creatures, it was with this very ability that he had forced his way out by exploding through their defenses.

Now, with his Star-Bone Body showing signs of weakening and Phantom Purgatory still not fully restored, the Soul Devourer Sphere once again became his only chance for a turnaround.

Crack... crack...

While he was contemplating, numerous cracks appeared on his World Shield. Its durability was almost entirely drained, with only a sliver left. One final attack would break through the shield's defenses.

"This is your own doing."

Sterl took a deep breath, a brief flash of pain crossing his eyes. But he quickly composed himself and made his choice.

Rather than using soul power enhancement, he decided to directly trigger a soul power explosion, unleashing all of his soul power in one massive strike to make these two powerful Divine Powers question their existence!

This was a decision he had thought through carefully. Soul power enhancement, while likely able to resolve this crisis and drive back the two enemies, would only accomplish that—push them back.

Given the Kingdom of Orichalcum's current resolve, they would surely gather an even stronger offensive to deal with him.

Therefore, simply driving them back wouldn't be enough. He needed to overwhelm them completely, to make them hesitant, even fearful!

Only in this way would they truly back off and reassess his power.

As the saying goes, "Strike one blow to avoid a hundred." This was Sterl's reasoning.

Boom!

The World Shield exploded into fragments, and the purple soul fire immediately surrounded him, while dozens of sealing chains lashed out.

These chains were a clear warning: if they ensnared him, even the Star-Bone Body would be continuously weakened and sealed, losing all resistance. This was the method of powerful Divine Beings who had pushed a particular aspect of their abilities to its absolute extreme.

But just as this was happening, two more layers of shields were added around Sterl, barely managing to block the dual attacks in a near-miraculous way.

It was the Stellar Barrier of the Starry Battle Armor and the defensive power of invincibility.

Though neither defense could completely block the power of a Divine Power, they were enough to hold off for a few breaths.

Artigas's cheek twitched, clearly surprised. This person, who had been singled out by the Wings of the Divine Kingdom for capture, certainly had an excessive number of survival methods.

Not only that, but Artigas had essentially figured out Sterl's abilities. Sterl was not actually a powerful Divine Power, yet through some means, he had forcibly increased his own strength to the point where he could withstand the power of a mighty Divine Power, crossing a whole level of strength.

Furthermore, he had multiple life-saving defenses that could resist the power of a Divine Power. With this kind of wealth, Artigas would almost believe that Sterl had stolen everything from the royal treasury of the city.

Although the gray-purple figure had not finished speaking, their thoughts aligned perfectly with Artigas's. If it weren't for the specific orders from the Wings of the Divine Kingdom, they would surely have found a way to drain Sterl's wealth before anything else.

However, neither of them paid much attention to this. No matter how powerful life-saving items were, they were still external things. What good would it do to block for a moment? Eventually, they would be broken through.

Only true strength could establish a solid foundation. Without that, everything else was fleeting.

After a moment of surprise, the two of them resumed their attacks on Sterl, continuously wearing down the power of the shield. However, they remained vigilant, knowing that, based on Sterl's previous actions, he would not simply surrender.

"Five seconds, that should be enough."

The Transcendence ability, which described invincibility lasting for a minute, when combined with the power of the Stellar Barrier, could only hold for this long against the siege of two powerful Divine Powers.

Sterl had anticipated this, as powerful Divine Powers were almost beyond the constraints of the Transcendence system, and the strength they could unleash was on an entirely different level.

Sterl glanced up at Artigas, understanding the intent of the two. As mighty Divine Powers, both their strength and combat experience were formidable. With the balance of victory currently leaning in favor of the Kingdom of Orichalcum, they would not rush things.

In their eyes, he was like a fish in a barrel, unable to escape.

Sterl wasn't worried. The speed at which his soul power exploded, even if they were prepared, they would not be able to dodge it.

With a thought, the twenty thousand high-level soul puppets within Purgatory Space were immediately absorbed into the Soul Devourer Sphere, rapidly being refined.

The refining speed of the Soul Devourer Sphere was activated to its maximum, and the soul power reserves increased at an astonishing rate.

Boom...

The outer Stellar Barrier shattered and vanished, and the invincible force rippled slightly.

Artigas and the other powerful being looked at the helpless Sterl inside the shield. While they remained vigilant, deep down, a slight sense of arrogance began to rise within them.

"The crawlers of the lower realms can never rise above. But to have three mighty Divine Powers descend to suppress you, you shall be remembered in history. Unfortunately... history is always written by the victors."

The sealing chains that spread out from behind Artigas had already reached a total of twenty, each one infused with his most powerful sealing force.

With twenty chains, even the fully-powered Fay would be reduced to a helpless beast with no strength to resist.

He looked down condescendingly at the shield that was about to break, his arrogance evident in his eyes.

In his view, the heavens were the heavens. No matter how these ants struggled, all it took was a hint of authority, and everything could be suppressed.

These ants were merely tools to him.

However, at that moment, a strange, unsettling sensation suddenly rose in his chest.

Artigas and the gray-purple figure paused for a moment, looking around, confused. "Could he have other allies?"

They expanded their senses fully, but aside from the Legion of Hell, there was no other life form within several thousand miles that warranted their attention.

As for the Legion of Hell, they were nothing but easily disposable trash.

A group of ants, even gathered together, couldn't withstand a single step from an elephant. To them, the Legion of Hell was nothing but ants, and they were gods.

But for some reason, the unease in their hearts grew stronger.

At that moment, Artigas suddenly thought of something. He sharply looked down below.

Inside the shield, Sterl had just lifted his head and was staring in his direction, a strange, eerie smile spreading across his face.

"Not good!"

"Tosman, let's attack together!"

Artigas instantly realized the source of the danger and, without caring about the consumption, immediately summoned the full force of his sealing power.

The sealing chains around him surged, increasing from twenty to fifty, resembling massive snakes devouring the heavens, descending upon Sterl with a fierce roar!

Tosman, the gray-purple figure, also hesitated not for a moment. He immediately conjured dozens of spears, each cloaked in soul fire, and launched them toward the replicated Sterl!

"Now you react? It's too late."

A fierce, twisted expression flashed across Sterl's face. He immediately controlled the Soul Devourer Sphere, and the two thousand high-level soul power refined from the soul puppets erupted in an explosive burst!

"Soul Shock, DIE!!"

The Soul Devourer Sphere in his hand unleashed a deep, shadowy glow, and the sense of impending doom spread across the entire world!
