Awakening?The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

Chapter 298: What the Hell! So Much Blood Force?

Sterl's true body quickly immersed itself in understanding.

Even though this deceptive sense of time had slowed down his efficiency by a hundredfold, that tiny seed was extremely important!

He didn't expect to obtain the seed of time power within this instance, but what about in several instances? As long as he could eventually manifest a trace of the divine authority of time on the panel, this legendary power, renowned in the Hall of Valor and among the surrounding continents, could be directly converted into points for cultivation!

Meanwhile, outside, Sterl's Bionic Tear slowly made its way to the center of the gathering place.

At this moment, he had the time to observe his surroundings. What lay before him was not merely a sandy area but rather a scene resembling the bottom of the deep sea.

Various corals grew around him, and in the distance, there appeared to be what looked like a sunken ship. The sky above was a deep hue of ocean water, and far away, it seemed he could see the light of the sun shining through.

Due to the extremely weak illumination, the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

At this moment, accompanied by the muffled sounds of the real ground, a series of crisp and fragmented noises began to echo.

That was the distinctive sound of arthropod limbs making contact with the sand.

Then…

The swarm arrived!

Leading the charge were enormous beasts, adorned with structures resembling cannon tubes. On top of these massive creatures were smaller insect beasts, whose bodies resembled scorpions and serpents, with their whips thrashing rapidly, releasing plumes of smoke that clearly indicated their toxicity.

Behind the colossal beasts was a black-brown swarm that surged like a tide, roughly the size of calves and covered in a shell-like armor.

Among the ordinary swarm were various other types of insect troops, seemingly equipped to handle a wide range of scenarios. In fact, there was even a comically absurd insect beast encased in lava, which appeared to be capable of spewing flames. However, at the bottom of the sea, it could hardly maintain its stance and merely evaporated large amounts of steam.

From a distance, the swarm looked magnificent, but as they drew closer, the bizarre howls of the insect beasts and their grotesque mandibles were enough to send shivers down one's spine.

In fact, the "players" near the Bionic Tear retreated in fear.

Even though they merely distanced themselves a bit from the swarm, it was a desperate gamble to delay their demise for just a little longer.

Unfortunately, it seemed there was a translucent membrane in the gathering place; once they retreated a certain distance, they found themselves unable to escape any further.

Meanwhile, the Bionic Tear casually used Star Insight to conduct a probe.

At once, it was left speechless.

The mechanics of this instance were a bit outrageous—not only because of the bizarre larvae but also because it seemed this instance was a bit too bullies the weak and fears the strong.

The players drawn in were at most of legendary level, while even the most ordinary insect beasts in the swarm had peak third-class combat power. Many of them were legendary, and the slightly special insect beasts were certainly high-tier legendary or peak legendary in strength.

The colossal beasts were akin to mountains, reaching the strength of a flawed demigod.

Even without those strange insect beasts, this instance itself was not something legendary players could clear.

At this moment, none of the players dared to resist; they could only wait for death. Some were even whispering to each other.

"Just in time for a newcomer to take our place and die a few more times."

"No matter how badly he loses later, we have to say something nice. My memory can't handle any more torture."

"I can't grow older any longer; otherwise, my lifespan will really run out."

"How long do you think this newcomer can last? One minute or thirty seconds?"

…

These players seemed to be engaged in ordinary complaints, but Sterl's true body easily noticed that their sinister voices coiled around the Bionic Tear like a dark chain, layer upon layer.

It was exceedingly strange!

However, Bionic Tear remained calm, invoking Arcane Law!

Then…

Flowing Water Thousand Cuts!

Sterl had no intention of testing the waters with slow attacks; the instance was too bizarre, and he needed to inflict violent damage quickly to accelerate the clearing process.

In an instant, the colossal beasts at the front were pierced by countless streams of water blades, and then torn apart.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, those demigod-level monsters were entirely obliterated in a single encounter!

Meanwhile, the players in the instance still had their heads down, discussing among themselves, completely unaware of the changes occurring around them.

On the contrary, Sterl's true body first frowned, then his eyes lit up.

The reason for his frown was that the sheer size and life force of these colossal beasts somewhat countered Flowing Water Thousand Cuts—

This move relied on the Flowing Water blades to shred the opponent from the inside out!

However, the larger and more powerful the creature, the more energy was required to deal with them. This was no issue for true demigods, but for Sterl, who was low on mana, it was quite a headache. Yet the next second, he looked at the prompt in front of him with unexpected delight.

In Dream of Lalaye, Sterl discovered that these monsters, when defeated, did not truly die; instead, they dissipated into air currents, seemingly capable of respawning without any experience or loot.

However, accompanied by a strange vortex surrounding the Bionic Tear, those air currents were sucked into its body.

This was the effect of Origin of Chaos!

The streams of air were forcibly transformed into blood force!

Sterl watched in astonishment as messages flooded his screen:

[You have defeated the monster: Leviathan, gaining 0.03 points of blood force!]

[You have defeated... ]

...

A total of eight colossal beasts directly provided Sterl with 0.24 points of blood force, which seemed like a small amount.

However, after the air currents were absorbed by Sterl, they surged back toward the group behind, reviving those eight beasts.

In other words, these colossal beasts could be farmed repeatedly!

But the surprises were just beginning.

If those colossal beasts were simply large and obviously full of life force, the ordinary insect swarm that Flowing Water Thousand Cuts effortlessly harvested also brought Sterl delight.

[You have defeated the monster: Savage Insect Beast 20, gaining 0.01 points of blood force!]

[You have defeated the monster: Scorpion-Tailed Insect 7, gaining 0.01 points of blood force!]

[You have defeated... ]

...

The life force of the creatures in the swarm was significantly more vigorous than that of ordinary monsters!

The weakest third-class Savage Insect Beasts yielded 0.01 points of blood force for every 20 defeated!

And the slightly stronger insect beasts could produce 0.01 points of blood force for an average of 5 to 8 defeated!

However, it appeared that these insect beasts below the demigod level could not be farmed repeatedly; once the air currents were absorbed by Sterl, they dried up completely. Only a very small number of air currents could regenerate new monsters.

But that was more than enough to get Sterl excited!

He now had a plethora of skills and Law Power waiting to be fed!

Especially since he needed 100 blood force to upgrade his Law Power to perfection!

Sterl's eyes turned red with excitement.

"What kind of instance is this? It's practically tailor-made for me!"

At that moment...

Outside, as they witnessed Sterl single-handedly holding back the tide of the insect swarm, the surrounding players wore expressions of disbelief.

"It's impossible! How is he so strong?"

"Is this a joke? This isn't reasonable."

"Why, why, why?"

...

These players were not filled with joy at their salvation; instead, they became even more eerily terrified. But soon, as if waking from a dream, they seemed to realize the inappropriateness of their behavior, shouting as if to redeem themselves:

"Bro, I'm here to help you!"

"Great! With a powerhouse like you, maybe we can push back the swarm this time."

"Let's go! Together!"

...

It looked like they were coming to help.

At the same time, the skills gathered by these players appeared to be genuine output abilities, yet for some reason, there was an odd feeling about them.

However...

Those caught up in the heat of battle likely wouldn't notice this subtle difference.

Sterl frowned, raising his hand to activate the golden version of Silent Domain, effectively interrupting all the players' skills.

Instantly, the "players" looked utterly baffled. What was going on? They were trying to help, and yet he wasn't pleased!

"I'm fine on my own," Sterl said coldly, primarily to prevent these people from stealing kills. With so many insect swarms, the potential for blood force was immense. Sterl felt that even if he alone could claim all the kills, it still wouldn't be enough!

Next…

The group of players stood there, bewildered.

Meanwhile, Sterl began a frenzied slaughter; opportunities to farm blood force were rare. This time, he didn't hesitate to pour all kinds of consumables into his body as if they were free.

First, he downed the Glory Potion, which could be exchanged for ordinary contribution points, along with the Energy Surge Capsules contributed by guild members who were eager to please the powerful figures behind the Twilight Guild.

Sterl quickly gulped them down.

For this wave, he used his most efficient move.

Not Flowing Water Thousand Cuts, but rather Silent Domain – The End of All Things!

This skill not only had a silencing effect but also possessed a formidable curse damage power!

Instantly, dark purple ripples spread outwards.

Against demigod-level foes, this curse could inflict significant damage, let alone against third-class legendary monsters.

In an instant, countless insect beasts fell as if they were being harvested like wheat, and from high above, it looked like a line of dominoes collapsing in a cascading manner from the center outwards.

At the same time, Sterl's blood force rapidly increased!

In the first second, his blood force reached 0.4.

In the second second, Sterl consumed the Energy Surge Capsules and continued with Silent Domain, pushing his blood force to 0.6.

In the third second, he drank the Glory Potion and executed the teleport attack of Cursed Vision, shifting to another position; thus, The End of All Things began again from a different origin point, causing his blood force to hit one point!

Without hesitation, Sterl instantly allocated his points to Blade Law!

Flawed-level Blade Law.

Success!

In that moment…

Countless methods of weapon usage and exquisite memories surged into his mind!

It was an incredibly strange sensation.
