Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: What Kind of Technique is This?
This was the instinctive reaction of beings from the lower realm, who knelt on the ground under the pressure of the Holy Spirit Bloodline.

“Who are you?”

“Wait! What powerful being are you? What business do you have with us?”

“We, the Felix Guild, are at your service. Please let us know how we can assist you.”

…

The members of the Felix Guild were busy exiting the instance and were unaware of the previous events at the Valor Combatants tournament.

They did not recognize Sterl.

They were all shouting in a panic.

The newcomer clearly meant trouble!

But they still had to force smiles, as the pressure was overwhelming.

However, a few well-informed individuals recognized who had arrived!

“Is that David from the Twilight Guild?”

“It seems he has a powerful Supreme backing him. What does he intend to do?”

The entire guild was in disarray.

The guild leader of Felix, an elderly man with a goatee, slowly stepped forward and slightly cupped his hands in greeting.

“May I ask what brings you here, Guild Leader David?”

“Our guild may not be strong, but if you have any requests, we will do our utmost to fulfill them.”

“Fulfill them to the utmost?”

“Alright then.”

Sterl smiled and said, “Hand over your guild core for me to absorb, as a contribution to our Twilight Guild.”

He spoke slowly.

What?

The expression of the goateed elder changed drastically. If they gave their guild core to someone else, it would effectively mean the complete destruction of their guild, forcing them to start anew. Moreover, the resources and contributions gained from merging with the core were not particularly significant. Generally, only guilds with deep-seated grudges would resort to such measures to utterly obliterate a rival guild!

An ordinary person could choose to kill all the members of a guild while leaving the guild itself as an empty shell.

The Twilight Guild was hardly familiar with them; why would they come in demanding such an extreme request right off the bat?

Had the Felix Guild offended him?

“Guild Leader David, I’m afraid that’s not something we can agree to.”

Before the elder could finish his sentence,

Sterl had already slowly raised his hand—Silent Domain activated!

In order to master divine authority, every two days, he would allocate points to the Blood of the Holy Spirit. The skills that came with the evolved Holy Spirit Bloodline would expire if not used.

Therefore, he unleashed his full power!

A dark sun slowly rose, followed by the infusion of the Holy Spirit Bloodline’s strength, rapidly causing the power of Silent Domain to fission and escalate!

…

Meanwhile, the members of the Felix Guild shouted, “President, take him down!”

“He only has one Supreme as his backing; are we really afraid of him?”

“Let’s kill this David first, then we can go after the Twilight Guild!”

…

These people were indeed quite confident.

The two Supremes of the Felix Guild were not intimidated by the power behind the Twilight Guild!

The guild leader and another figure clad in a black robe quickly sprang into action, two beams of platinum light illuminating the cave.

The players from the Felix Guild wore cold smirks.

In the blink of an eye, they didn’t have time to think much; they relied on their past experiences—

When two Supremes acted together, even a typical demigod would be reduced to ashes. Moreover, the rumors in the outside world claimed that this David was hardly strong! He was merely the public face of the Twilight Guild.

The true powerhouse of Twilight was a figure behind the scenes.

If that weren’t the case, the Felix Guild would have disregarded David, especially after he had previously released an incredibly terrifying aura of pressure.

It’s important to note that a level seven guild is the pinnacle of the lower realm’s guild system, and the resources needed to advance further were already said to be exhausted in the lower realm.

To elevate a level six guild to level seven required several extremely rare materials, which only a deity could collect!

Thus, the two Supremes of the Felix Guild were already top-tier existences among level six guilds, holding a notable rank within the Hall of Valor!

Their earlier good attitude towards David was simply due to their inability to gauge his true strength; if he was being disrespectful, they would simply kill him.

However, in an instant,

The dark sun expanded!

All players of the Felix Guild were crushed to the ground under the pressure of the Iridescent-Level skills. Not only did their various innate skills dim, but even their attempts to channel the power of the rules were blocked.

At the same time, numerous curses wrapped around them.

Sterl didn’t unleash any lethal curses, but effects like body sluggishness, spell backlash, softening of bones, damage amplification, and heavy pressure were all applied!

In an instant, the players of Felix were in agony.

The two Supremes hadn’t even made a move yet, but they too were forced to kneel under the pressure.

Sterl particularly targeted the two strong ones, causing them to cough repeatedly, spitting out blood.

Before them flashed a barrage of terrifying alerts, rapidly appearing!

Messages about various escape and survival items being unusable…

Warnings that if they died due to curses, there was no way to be resurrected…

Notifications that their souls were about to be destroyed?

Just looking at these messages was terrifying, and they realized that every time they attempted to move, the output of the curses only intensified!

At that moment, the two Supremes felt as if they had fallen into an ice pit, allowing their bodies to collapse freely to the ground, daring not to make any extraneous movements!

Meanwhile, the other members of the Felix Guild hadn’t even realized what had happened.

They were utterly bewildered!

Who am I? Where am I? Where are our two powerful guild leaders? Have they really all fallen like this?

The group of people, using their peripheral vision—

mainly because they were lying on the ground and couldn’t look directly at David—felt waves of fear and panic rising within them.

Strangely, the surroundings were completely silent.

The members of the Felix Guild couldn’t even take a moment to contemplate David’s terrifying presence; under the curses, even moving a little was a challenge.

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.

The sound of water dripping echoed against the cave floor.

Several seconds passed, and Sterl stood motionless in place.

The Silent Domain had consumed too much energy, and naturally, it had shut down early.

Only then did the members of the Felix Guild dare to cautiously rise to their feet.

As they looked at the swirling black sun in Sterl’s hand, the guild leader of Felix let out a resigned sigh.

“I… you…”

“Everything will be done as you command, my lord.”

His expression changed repeatedly, ultimately choosing to compromise.

The elder with the goatee summoned the guild core, which could only be drawn out with the authority of the guild leader, and half-kneeled as he presented the glowing orb before David.

He lowered his head, a flash of resentment and hatred crossing his eyes.

Losing the guild meant losing some buffs, and the items available in the guild shop were far inferior to what could be exchanged at the Hall of Valor.

The players didn’t suffer catastrophic losses!

On the contrary, they had successfully cleared the Abyss of No Return, securing the maximum benefits they could obtain near the Hall of Valor through their guild.

This time, the losses for the Felix members didn’t seem too severe.

However, the benefits a guild provided were not easy to accumulate!

The Felix Guild, built over decades of effort, was destroyed in an instant!

How infuriating! How frustrating!

Many players from the Felix Guild fixed their gaze on David, wanting to remember this disguised face…

Sterl casually took the orb from them and crushed it in his hand, instantly allowing streams of brilliant golden light to surge into his body.

A notification flashed before his eyes.

[Your guild Twilight has been nourished by other guild cores, significantly reducing the contribution needed for upgrades!]

[Your guild Twilight has received nourishment from other…]

The notifications rang out three times in a row.

A smile appeared on Sterl’s face as he casually checked the guild panel; the progress toward level 5 had decreased by a full 1/6.

“Isn’t this quite convenient?”

“Leveling up the guild isn’t hard at all.”

“What can grinding bosses really do for leveling up?”

He vanished in a flash from before the members of the Felix Guild, preparing to look for the second unlucky guild.

Sterl didn’t see himself as a good person; when it came time to upgrade his guild, he would directly target the unfortunate.

Yet at the same time, Sterl also didn’t want to engage in indiscriminate slaughter. Through the Holy Spirit Bloodline, he could clearly feel that at least a dozen members of the Felix Guild harbored intense hatred for him, while others were equally indignant.

But so what?

“I’ve only revealed the combat power that David has already displayed; there’s no need to silence anyone.”

“Let them off this time.”

“As for their hatred towards me… it doesn’t matter.”

“I’m already treating them this way, so let them hate. Be magnanimous.”

Sterl murmured to himself.

The members of the Felix Guild watched as his figure gradually faded into the space, unable to contain their curses.

Damn bastard, do you think you’re so strong?

There are countless people in this world stronger than you; one day, you will also be…

Humiliated! Killed!

The guild leader with the goatee lowered his head, lost in thought.

But at that moment, his pupils constricted!

Other members of the Felix Guild, filled with resentment as they stared at Sterl, showed the same expression.

Sixteen figures appeared in the sky!

An overwhelming aura surged forth, emanating a power at least at the Supreme level!

Their mere presence nearly suppressed the space itself!

David’s dissipating figure was forced to coalesce.

The figures merely sneered and said, “David, we’ve been waiting for you for a few days; you finally came out!”

There was a hint of annoyance in their tone.

They were the same group of people who had been watching the match in the arena, the sixteen seed players of the Valor Combatants tournament!

Their original plan was to trap and kill David using a special instance.

But it turned out…

Good grief!

David never comes out!!

According to the rules of the Hall of Valor, players’ residences are places even deities cannot enter.

Only those few who truly hold authority over the Hall of Valor can breach a player’s home.

As long as David stayed at home, these sixteen seed players had no way to deal with him.

What was even more outrageous was…

The sixteen seed players discovered that David had no contact with anyone from the Twilight Guild, except for the two vice presidents.

And those two vice presidents hadn’t come out in days!

That’s right, Sosia and Sonis hadn’t made any appearances since Sterl returned; they simply let the Twilight Guild develop on its own while spending every day in bed with their master.

Sterl was only at the Hall of Valor for this long because of the Valor Combatants tournament, and after it ended, he would leave. Naturally, the two sisters were completely infatuated.
