Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 809

Chapter 809: Chapter 809: One Punch to Crush! Demon Beast!
“Roar!!!”

A thick, powerful claw reached out from the circular hole. The originally thousand-meter-wide passageway began to rapidly expand, as if being torn apart by some immense force!

One thousand meters… two thousand meters… five thousand meters… ten thousand meters!

In just a few dozen seconds, the diameter of the passage had expanded tenfold!

Accompanied by a deafening roar of rage, the owner of the massive claw began to slowly emerge from the passage.

It was a gigantic beast, resembling a whale. The creature was suspended in mid-air by an invisible force, its underside covered with hundreds of terrifying, extendable claws. Its body was covered in numerous twisted tendrils, making it look extraordinarily bizarre.

After the massive, ten-thousand-meter-long whale-like creature appeared, the passage seemed to collapse like a burst dam, and more and more monsters poured out from within.

A column of monstrous creatures, with a diameter reaching ten thousand meters, towered over the earth, looking both awe-inspiring and terrifying!

Once these monsters descended, they immediately charged toward Sterl’s position. As they advanced, they quickly fused with one another. Each fusion significantly increased their aura and strength.

As for the giant whale, it used the space itself as a river. With a flick of its tail, it crossed thousands of miles in an instant, soon reaching a place within a hundred miles of Sterl.

“So that’s it.”

“This is how this race operates.”

Sterl didn’t pay much attention to the increasing number of monsters. Instead, he focused on the massive passageway in the distance and the vast sea of monsters pouring out of it.

He had previously wondered why these monsters, both in terms of numbers and overall strength, were far superior to those he had encountered in Hell.

But after his observations and analysis, he now had an answer in his heart.

This mysterious race must operate under two modes: resource collection and invasion.

For a place like Hell, which lacked high-end combat forces but had hundreds of layers of worlds, it was clearly an ideal location for resource collection.

Thus, they only needed to dispatch some “maternal” creatures to gradually invade and devour the resources, turning Hell’s own resources into a force to fight against it, while transporting the gathered resources and souls to their true headquarters.

The second mode, invasion, involved using the resources gathered from these worlds to mass-produce monsters. Once the passage was opened, they could send out these produced units in vast numbers.

This approach not only increased efficiency but also avoided the risk of encountering powerful enemies and facing decapitation tactics.

However, due to Sterl’s previous interference, the monsters’ resource gathering in Hell suffered severe setbacks. Not only were most of the resources taken, but they also lost the souls of ten maternal creatures. As a result, the masterminds behind these monsters harbored a deep desire for Sterl’s death.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled, interrupting Sterl’s thoughts.

He looked ahead and saw a massive giant, its entire body silver-white, with a size reaching ten thousand meters, slowly advancing toward him.

This giant, measuring ten thousand meters, had no facial features or emotions. It appeared almost like an artificial being, sending chills down one’s spine.

Sterl immediately recognized that this creature was the true culprit responsible for nearly destroying the royal city.

“The power level has reached that of a powerful divine entity, and within that tier, it is a top-tier existence. Combined with the monsters’ fusion and recovery abilities, it is even more troublesome in battle than an average powerful divine entity. No wonder Kun couldn’t withstand it.”

His eyes glowed with a faint spiritual light. Through the perception granted by Spiritual Transcendence and the data analysis capabilities of the [Transcendence] system, Sterl was able to roughly gauge the giant’s attributes.

Before entering Hell, he would have found it difficult to deal with this creature. But now, thanks to his mastery of sword techniques, the near-month-long continuous Perfect Regeneration enhancement, as well as the increases in his Spiritual Transcendence and strength, his sense of his current power had become somewhat unclear.

However, there was no warning from Dimension Perception, so it was obvious that this creature posed no threat to him!

The giant passed through the force field. The dual suppression of the aura and mental force fields, while capable of crushing demigod-level cannon fodder monsters, had no decisive effect on the giant’s raw strength.

Even so, trapped within these dual fields, the giant’s overall power was suppressed by at least twenty percent!

Do not underestimate this twenty percent suppression. The higher the level of the power tier, even a slight suppression can have a decisive impact, let alone the full twenty percent now.

Hum!!

The space groaned.

As the giant approached Sterl within ten miles, it swung its hundreds-of-meters-long fists, crashing down like a falling meteor.

The terrifying force even created waves similar to Sterl’s aura field, weakening the dual-field suppression and sealing off the surrounding space. It was as though Sterl had become a helpless ant trapped in a giant’s prison, with no place to escape.

Unfortunately, this giant was doomed to fail, for Sterl was no ant, but an incredibly terrifying Demon God!

“Interesting.”

As the giant’s colossal fist approached, Sterl remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He then raised his right hand, lightly clenched it into a fist, and casually swung it out.

Compared to the earth-shattering might of the giant, Sterl’s punch was utterly ordinary. There was no space disturbance, and it seemed as though not even the airflow was disturbed.

However, if one were to face this punch directly, the pressure and terror contained within it could not be described in words.

Boom!

The large and small fists collided.

Visually, it was as though a toothpick had pierced a steel ball.

In that moment, time and space seemed to freeze, and an invisible force transformed into a circular wave, spreading outward.

Where it passed, the monsters that had fused to the divine tier and were advancing toward the dual force fields froze in place, as if all life and strength within them had been frozen.

Crack…

A series of crisp, consecutive sounds echoed.

The next moment, a visually shocking scene unfolded.

Sterl continued to hold his punching posture, while the towering giant before him, which stood ten thousand meters tall, began to crack like fragile porcelain, revealing a dense network of cracks.

As the cracks multiplied, the giant’s body structure was irreparably damaged, and it collapsed and shattered with a thunderous roar.

In the surrounding area, within a radius of several dozen miles, the monsters affected by the residual shockwaves were reduced to dust, like weathered pieces of paper, their silver-white liquid unable to manifest. Only a large number of souls were drawn into the Soul Devourer Sphere, where they were devoured.

“Not bad, this power,” Sterl remarked, shaking his slightly numb arm, retracting his unscathed right fist.

The scene before him exceeded even his own expectations.

This was to be expected. The Sublimation of Power had caused his strength to leap forward in a continuous and significant way, making his increase tremendous. Even though he had consciously restrained his power, it still erupted with terrifying destructive force.

Of course, another reason was that the giant’s body was far too fragile.

Such weak physical strength could not bear the immense power of a top-tier divine being.

So, when confronted with another, even more terrifying force, it crumbled with such ease.

However, this monster was forcibly fused into existence, and naturally, it couldn’t compare to Sterl’s ultimate passive ability.

The +3 physical strength tier enhancement, while not allowing him to freely unleash his power, was far from useless. At the very least, it ensured basic stability.

Sterl checked the amount of soul power added to the Soul Devourer Sphere, and his smile grew even brighter.

However, while some rejoiced, others were filled with sorrow. This strike seemed to have struck the very artery of the existence behind the monsters, nearly preventing it from recovering.

From the brief pause of all the monsters, it was clear just how surprised their master was at this moment.

But after the surprise came an overwhelming rage.

“Roar!!”

All the monsters began to let out frantic roars, then quickly started to fuse together.

Boom!

During the fusion process, one of the monsters’ bodies twisted violently before it exploded into a pool of silver-white liquid.

“Looks like we’ve pushed them into a corner,” Sterl remarked calmly as he watched the scene. Compared to before, the fusion this time was more aggressive and frantic, resulting in many failed attempts. However, when the fusion succeeded, the newly born monsters were even stronger.

These monsters were only five meters long, but their muscular limbs exuded immense explosive power. Their tough, streamlined scaled armor provided both strong defense and agility.

Behind them, three six-meter-long tails swayed slightly, each ending in sharp tail blades. They resembled the legendary Demon Beasts, instilling a sense of terror.

“Such a structure… seems like it’s not a forced fusion, but rather a pre-researched and perfected mode,” Sterl thought to himself.

In contrast to the poorly-made monsters, these creatures were on an entirely different level, both in terms of strength and construction.

The individual strength of these monsters had reached the divine tier, and their incredibly well-designed bodies made them as efficient as killing machines!

Moreover, their ability to erode anything with the eerie gray mist significantly enhanced their lethality.

“With enough of these monsters, they could already match the elite forces of the Dream Spirit Empire,” he couldn’t help but muse. At the same time, his Dimension Perception picked up a faint sense of threat.

Clearly, these monsters posed a greater threat to Sterl than the earlier ten-thousand-meter giant.

This battle had only just begun!
