Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Power of World’s Return to Silence!
“Is this the Power of Star-Bone? Is this the true power of the Star-Bone Sacred Body?”

Sterl muttered to himself, his arms slightly spread, feeling the terrifying power coursing through his body.

He could sense that the various forces inside him were quickly dissipating, transforming into the Power of Star-Bone within his Star-Bone Sacred Body.

When the Power of Star-Bone was activated, it felt as though an entire supernova had been forced into his body, the immense energy swelling to the point where it seemed to inflate him!

As for the tough tendrils that had wrapped around him earlier, they were immediately shattered the moment the Power of Star-Bone activated!

Even the strange, mysterious gray energy was completely isolated, as if it had been repelled by an invisible gravitational force that wouldn’t allow it to approach his body.

At that moment, the gray Flame scattered in all directions, and the black tendrils that had been pulverized into dust rained down. A tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from the chaos.

With the enhancement and expansion provided by the Power of Star-Bone, his body now stood at a massive eighteen meters tall. The mysterious markings that had once only been on his arms and chest now spread across his entire body. Every inch of his skin was covered in those strange, divine marks.

These markings looked even more complex and mysterious, as if they carried some kind of immense magical power that was mesmerizing to behold.

Below, in the corner, the Will of Hell, who had been praying fervently, suddenly opened its eyes. The moment Sterl activated the Power of Star-Bone, it immediately felt an overwhelming aura of a natural enemy—like the arrival of a world-hunting predator in Hell itself.

As its eyes snapped open, it saw Sterl floating in midair, having already scattered the dark tendrils around him.

In that instant, it realized the source of this terrifying aura—it was coming from Sterl above!

Terrifying! Terrifying beyond measure!

“I knew it! I knew it wouldn’t be so simple! These monsters could never threaten him!”

The Will of Hell’s voice was trembling, to the point that it almost sounded delirious.

“That’s right! This is his true power! This is what the monster really looks like—he’s finally stopped hiding!”

“But what… what is this power?”

The Will of Hell spoke with complete certainty. It had always believed Sterl was some terrifying demon god with a hidden identity. Now, seeing Sterl display this form, it only solidified that belief even further.

But this aura—though something Will of Hell had never felt before—why did it give the distinct feeling of facing a natural enemy?

It quickly searched through all the accumulated information from endless ages, but there was no record of anything even remotely like this. In that moment, the Will of Hell almost went into a daze.

“What kind of ancient, terrifying monster is this… from which era?”

Of course, Sterl had no idea about the Will of Hell’s wild thoughts. If he did, he might have even laughed.

After all, considering the timeline of the Endless Void, he was still just over twenty years old. His real involvement with Transcendence had only started two or three years ago.

Unlike those who stand on the shoulders of giants, those so-called geniuses who simply follow the paths laid out before them, Sterl had relied on his immense willpower and relentless effort, along with the support of his cheat abilities, to reach the height he stood at today in just a few short years. It was indeed almost unbelievable.

But of course, true strength always commands awe. Without a significant gap to separate oneself from others, how could his power and uniqueness stand out?

With that thought, Sterl spread his arms and gave a subtle squeeze!

Suddenly, the entire space seemed to tremble, as if the air in his hands was not air at all, but the very world itself!

The compressed air shot out in all directions, tearing the space apart, creating numerous cracks. The tendrils that had surged forward were all forcefully shredded by this overwhelming force.

The Power of Star-Bone was different from Divine Power or Law Power; it did not expel any external, special energies. Instead, it simply bolstered his body to an extreme degree.

It was a pure talent that acted entirely on his physical form!

As for the current strength he possessed, Sterl could feel it clearly. It was even more terrifying than when he had been powered by soul energy!

Just looking at the descriptions, one could get a sense of its magnitude.

It was comparable to Stellar Crystal level defense, with the explosive force of a supernova, the speed of starlight, and immunity to all curses and negative forces!

Wasn’t that the definition of a superhero?

Now, Sterl truly embodied that feeling. The space around him felt fragile, as though the very ground beneath him was as thin and fragile as a crispy cookie.

With ten times the vitality and regenerative capacity, he felt as though he had become an immortal being. Swimming in a star would pose no more difficulty than a simple stroll.

“I didn’t want to get this serious, but… why do you force me to?”

Sterl muttered, his voice seemingly carrying a mystical power, causing everything in the surrounding space to vibrate along with his words.

Even the Will of Hell could feel its consciousness being affected by an irresistible force.

Slowly, it turned its gaze toward the massive creature before it—the one formed from the fusion of twelve matriarchs.

With its body measuring over a hundred meters in size, even Sterl now couldn’t compare to such a massive form.

But, from the aura it gave off, this monster seemed like a hundred-meter-long ant, while Sterl was the sun in the sky!

Because of the vast distance, it looked almost like a tiny egg, but the power emanating from him was enough to cover the entire world!

“Now, the real fight begins. I hope you can entertain me.”

A faint smile gradually appeared on his face. In the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

At that instant, Sterl seemed to transform into a streak of light, and time itself appeared to freeze around him. In that entire space, only he was moving.

“Is this… the speed of starlight?”

Sterl observed the enormous creature before him, which appeared frozen in place. But in reality, time hadn’t stopped. It was just that his speed was so fast that everything else around him seemed to slow down dramatically.

This wasn’t just about movement speed—it also encompassed perception speed, visual speed, neural reflex speed, and so on.

After all, without keeping up with these speeds, it would be impossible to support such incredible movement speed.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer power of this state. Even though he had enhanced himself with soul energy multiple times before, it was still difficult for him to fully adjust to this newfound speed right away.

Luckily, his powerful soul had erupted with exceptional results, allowing him to adapt at an astonishing rate.

Moreover, this power wasn’t an external force—this was the inherent strength of his Star-Bone Sacred Body, which made the adaptation process even faster.

Then, he slowly extended his hand, clenched it into a fist, and casually swung it at the massive monster before him.

To Sterl, this was simply a normal movement, but to the outside world, it appeared as though a particle, accelerated to the speed of light, struck the creature’s body in an instant.

There was no surprise.

The monster, whose tough body had been impervious even to the Annihilation Fist, was now shattered like a block of tofu, exploding in an instant!

The explosive force, akin to a supernova’s burst, transformed into a devastating wind of annihilation, violently surging out in all directions!

In an instant, Space Shattered! The earth was ground to dust! All the matter and energy in the air rapidly dissipated.

Even the floating gray energy was violently torn apart, breaking down into even smaller forms.

The Will of Hell let out a shriek, feeling the overwhelming torrent of destructive energy. It frantically drew in its consciousness, while simultaneously gathering all its strength to form a barrier around its ethereal form.

But when it came into contact with the Wind of Destruction, it was like planting a sapling in the face of a tornado. Even though it wasn’t at the very core of the storm, the power was no less than that of a cataclysmic natural disaster!

Fortunately, the Will of Hell’s ethereal consciousness was a smaller target, and being in the form of a soul, it barely managed to withstand the onslaught. But the massive Pitch-Black Prison that surrounded Sterl didn’t fare nearly as well.

The relentless Gale of Annihilation shredded the black tendrils, and the entire prison seemed to be torn apart by some monstrous beast, collapsing and disintegrating at a visible rate.

When the storm finally passed, the once formidable prison was reduced to nothing but a thin shell, riddled with cracks and holes everywhere.

“My power… is this really too much?”

Even though Sterl had been prepared, he couldn’t help but be stunned, staring at the nearly destroyed prison. This went far beyond his expectations.

It took him several moments to recover from the shock, and then a triumphant laugh erupted from him.

“Hahahaha! This power—who can match it? Who can stop me now?!”

Sterl threw his head back and howled, his voice brimming with arrogance and confidence, as if declaring that no one else could rival him.

He had underestimated just how terrifying the Star-Bone Sacred Body could be.

This power was far beyond what soul energy could provide!

No wonder it was called a star, a world—the force born when everything descends into oblivion. It was terrifyingly potent!

Not only that, but Sterl could feel it: after activating the Power of Star-Bone, not only did his speed, strength, and defense become incredibly formidable, but everything he did carried with it the Power of Star-Bone’s obliterating force.

This was a power that couldn’t be perceived, couldn’t be touched, and couldn’t be resisted!

It was this deadening force that made the destruction he caused so horrifyingly immense!

Powerful! So powerful!

Sterl could say with complete confidence that, under this power, the insects of hell didn’t stand a chance against him!
