Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 805

Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Sublimation of Power!
Whoosh…

At the lowest level of Abyssal Prison, Sterl exhaled a deep breath, the scorching air causing the atmosphere in front of him to distort.

It had been almost half a day since the passive transformation of his power had begun.

Now, his skin was as red as flame, as though it might burst into flames at any second. If someone got closer, they could even hear the sound of rushing rivers coming from within Sterl’s body.

It was the blood flowing through his veins. Before this transformation, every time his blood circulated, the vessels would rupture under the terrifying force, causing blood to spill from his body.

But after countless trials of forging and reforging, his blood vessels had finally withstood this terrifying power of vitality.

Furthermore, during this half-day period, he felt as though his body was being shaped into a weapon. As the passive arcane skill evolved, it also subjected him to cruel tempering.

Fortunately, the excruciating pain that had plagued him before had mostly subsided. Now, Sterl could clearly feel the changes in his body, especially the transformation in his strength, which had reached a level on par with his mental power. He had stepped into a new tier—a powerful, limitless one.

Another half hour passed. The air he exhaled began to return to normal, and the red hue on his body began to fade, revealing a muscular and formidable physique.

Compared to before, his body now resembled a piece of divine iron that had been compressed over and over again. It was not only tough but also filled with an overwhelming potential for explosive power that sent shivers down anyone’s spine.

He lightly clenched his fist, and the space around it trembled. Invisible shockwaves surged outward, shattering the surrounding seal rooms, splitting them into dust.

“It’s finally over…”

Sterl slowly opened his eyes. The previous exhaustion caused by his mental leap had dissipated, and he now looked as normal as any other person. However, if one were to meet his gaze, they would feel as if they were being stared down by a Starry Sky Behemoth.

The intense pressure emanating from him was enough to freeze the blood of any living being, causing their thoughts to stagnate.

“This is… the ultimate passive power of strength.”

Sterl felt the primal force within his body. Even without checking the specific attributes, he could sense the immense increase in his power.

Unlike Spiritual Transcendence, the ultimate passive power of strength had not only opened the door to the strongest force but had also reinforced his physical strength.

As an ultimate passive ability, it was naturally flawless. After all, powerful strength required a body strong enough to wield it.

Otherwise, if he threw a punch and didn’t kill the enemy, but instead had his own body torn apart by the terrifying force, it would be somewhat comical.

Then, with a slight shift of his thoughts, the attributes of the strength-based ultimate passive ability appeared before him.

[Sublimation of Power]

[Category: Permanent Passive]

[Description: Discovering potential, excavating potential. This is an arcane skill of self-transformation, influenced by some unknown force. This ability has been developed to its extreme, existing only in theory, not in its ultimate form! This extremity was not supposed to exist, yet now it erupts with unimaginable power!]

[Effect: Unlock the Sea of Power, gaining the strength of the source from the Way of Power! With each source of strength gained, a genetic-level evolution of power occurs, greatly enhancing one’s strength and slightly improving bodily strength.]

(While in intense combat, the acquisition and fusion of source strength accelerates greatly.)

Current stage improvement:

Total strength increased by 1000%

Strength Crushing Rank +8

Strength Shock Rank +8

Strength Penetration Rank +8

Physical Strength Rank +3

Muscles gain an extremely strong memory ability, greatly enhancing the training effect of techniques, currently increased by 50%!

(Every time strength is consumed in battle, the bonus increases by 0.1%)

Strength has an unstoppable characteristic. When an enemy’s strength is weaker than his own, they will endure the power sweep effect, causing their body’s defense to drop by 80%, all attributes to decrease by 20%, and putting them in a vulnerable state! This effect will deal devastating blows to non-biological enemies!**

(PS: Miracle Power! Sublimation Power! Unknown Power! Hidden traits within, to be developed and explored on your own.)

…

Sterl looked at the almost exaggerated attribute increase and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

He had previously imagined how powerful the ultimate passive strength ability would be, but he never expected it to be this powerful.

Sterl extended his hand, and he could clearly feel that Perfect Regeneration no longer provided any enhancement in terms of strength because, after the sublimation of his power, the strength he now controlled had transcended the strength under the Star-Bone Body!

In other words, now that he had unlocked Star-Bone Body, it only enhanced his body’s defense, speed, and vitality.

But in terms of strength, he was now stronger than in the Star-Bone Body state!

A 1000% increase in strength—this glaring figure meant that even without activating his internal power, Sterl could already feel the flow of power.

Moreover, the various improvements in power tiers made his attack power appear brutally wild and savage!

With the sublimation of power, every punch he threw would carry the effects of strength crushing, strength shock, and strength penetration. The 8-tier rank increase in these three attributes made these effects extremely terrifying!

As for the +3 increase in physical strength, it seemed rather insignificant.

This boost could only ensure that he wouldn’t die from his own attacks, but it couldn’t alleviate the pressure and burden caused by this power.

What surprised Sterl the most, however, was the enhancement to his technique training that came with the Sublimation of Power—it was an unexpected bonus!

A 50% increase in technique training was no small number. For practitioners of techniques, even a 1% increase would be worth a significant sacrifice. What’s more, this 50% boost was just at the current stage. As he fought more, the power of this ability would continue to grow.

The final effect of the Sublimation of Power was the kind of power typically wielded only by tyrants and berserkers.

Once struck by Sterl, if the opponent’s power was lower than his own, the overwhelming force would leave them in a state of three devastating debuffs:

80% reduced physical defense

20% reduction in all attributes

Vulnerable state, where the body would become highly susceptible to damage

These debuffs were incredibly terrifying. If the target of the power was not a living, flesh-and-blood being, but rather mechanical or soul-based entities, the lethality would be even more horrifying. A single punch would reduce them to dust.

Sterl then focused on feeling the internal changes within his body. He vaguely sensed that his body seemed to be connected to an incredibly vast place.

As his blood circulated, his body would actively draw a sliver of mysterious power from that enigmatic place. That power was likely the source power.

However, the speed at which he absorbed the source power at present was comparable to the speed of his mental sea’s rotation when not in a meditative state—roughly one cycle every seven days.

But during combat, the absorption speed was likely the same as when in a meditative state, allowing him to complete a cycle in just half a day, which was much faster.

As for the limit?

Whether it was Spiritual Transcendence or Sublimation of Power, the [Transcendence] system didn’t list any specific limits after data conversion.

As an ultimate passive ability, its limit should be extremely high. His current state was merely the beginning of his mastery over both mental and physical ultimate passives.

With that, he closed the attributes panel, slowly raised his hand, and threw a punch forward.

Boom!!

The lowest level of Abyssal Prison shook violently!

A surge of powerful shockwaves instantly swept across the entire Abyssal Prison. The force of the power caused the lower levels of Abyssal Prison to explode with countless cracks, and everything within this underground fortress turned to fine dust.

Sterl’s gaze passed through the desolate environment, focusing on the Abyssal Prison Gate standing between the lowest level and the fourth level.

The once indestructible Abyssal Prison Gate, even when Sterl activated his Star-Bone Body, left only a faint mark on the massive door. However, to his surprise, a deep indentation had formed, and through that dent, he could faintly see the scene beyond the door.

With the enhancement of various power attributes, that punch had nearly pierced through the Abyssal Prison Gate, an incredibly terrifying feat!

However, as he retracted his arm, a tearing pain shot through it, as though his entire arm was being ripped from his body. His chest, shoulder, upper arm, and forearm were all damaged to varying degrees. Even his internal organs had been impacted, and a dull ache still lingered, despite the injury.

A look of astonishment crossed Sterl’s face as he gazed at his wounded right arm. He never imagined that one day his own power would reach a level where it could injure him first. This was beyond what he had ever expected.

The vast life force within him began repairing the damage to his arm. But Sterl soon realized that the damage had reached an atomic level. Even with his vitality, it would take one or two minutes for the arm to fully heal.

If he continued to unleash full force blows repeatedly in a short time, he might even cause irreversible damage!

This was still based on the +3 enhancement to his physical strength. Without that boost, his body would have never been able to withstand such force.

At this thought, Sterl fell into a brief silence.

After all, this was just the strength of his bare fists. If he wielded the Sword of the World, with the added power of swordsmanship mastery, with a +15 boost to his cutting power stacked on top of this brute force, a single strike would be enough to shatter an entire world into dust!

This wasn’t exaggeration; it was a fact!

Back in Hell, he could use Star-Bone Body to shatter a layer of a world. With his current strength, breaking a world apart was easy and commonplace.

Of course, this was only true for ordinary worlds. For high-tier worlds like Dreamland, this would be completely impossible.
