Chapter 63: Stardust Strengthening, Celestial Stars Overturns the Earth
The centaur star player was brimming with pride, even unable to resist giving himself a thumbs up in his heart.
He had previously noticed Sterl's terrifying Celestial Stars attack. It was a full attack range of nearly 50 square meters, and it instantly took out all the monsters within a hundred square meters. It was so scary!!
That's why, this centaur star player, who was extremely displeased watching this Earth human player show off, even seeing him possibly passing the trial with the best results in the future!
He thought of the hatred between races. The more he thought, the angrier he got!
But now, that Earth big shot coming to trouble him gave the centaur star player the only possible way to interfere with this Earth big shot!
Such a powerful move must have a significant energy consumption, right??
"That meteor has a slight delay, my speed is enough to get out of the impact range." the centaur star player thought, even continuing to mockingly say,
"What a trash skill!"
"You are a disgrace!!"
His thought process was very clear. Since the meteor couldn't hit him, then he should taunt more, attracting the Earth big shot to waste a few more big moves on him. With massive energy consumption, the Earth big shot might even fail the trial!!
At this moment, many distant players participating in the trial also looked at the centaur star player with admiration.
Not everyone's main attribute is speed. Some are also afraid of being hit by Sterl's meteor out of nowhere, which basically means saying goodbye to the trial.
Now with this centaur star guy drawing aggro, draining the Earth big shot's strength, everyone is happy!
However...
These players in the arena failed to notice that the members of their own race, who were originally sitting in the stands actively interacting and supporting them, were now silent and bowing their heads like quails.
And the centaur star players—originally they were the first to fire at the Earth human race, but now one by one looked extremely ugly, unable to utter half a mocking word, instead continuously calling out to the player below: "Use whatever life-saving skills you have, hurry!"
"Run! Run!"
"Don't just stand there, posing! You're about to die, do you know that?"
They were so anxious and practically breaking down!
Other players sitting in the spectator stands from various races were also dumbstruck.
"Impossible, what kind of joke is this??"
"Is this a third-class player? I've seen other third-class players' moves, but none were this outrageous??"
"What's the story with this Earth human player?"
One by one, the players watched the attack created by Sterl, their faces showing signs of collapse.
Everyone in the arena was under immense pressure, involuntarily lowering their voices!
Even the Earth humans couldn't help but twitch their mouths, incredulously watching the scene below...
Every time they thought their leader was outrageous enough, they found he could pull out yet another trump card!
In the field of vision of the people on the spectator stands—
The blue alert area signifying the meteor's fall had now expanded to a terrifying extent!
A full near 200 square meters!
That's the size of a small villa!
And that centaur star player, surrounded by monsters, had only run out of the original meteor's range. But now with this suspected enhanced version of the meteor, he didn't escape at all!
"If the attack range has increased, it must have sacrificed firepower!" Players sitting close to the Earth humans could faintly hear the centaur star people murmuring to themselves as if comforting themselves.
Then...
"That makes sense." The players who had just been recruited by Sterl thought it was reasonable.
Logically, isn't it always the case? You can't have your cake and eat it too. This meteor's power would probably be far less than before—
At this moment, Sterl slightly frowned, he had originally planned to wait until the centaur star player was about to run out of his attack range before controlling the Celestial Stars to descend.
The Celestial Stars at this moment was naturally the version amplified by using the stardust's strengthening ability. Although killing monsters in the trial did not yield experience, the stardust still grew normally. Sterl cleared a massive number of monsters in one move, and the number of times his skill was enhanced also surged dramatically.
He used seven opportunities to enhance his skill, and the impact range of the Celestial Stars was strengthened three times in a row, becoming four times its original size.
And this move, from the warning time to the actual initiation, was just a fraction of a second. Otherwise how could Eric Dane react immediately but still be hit directly?
And after enhancing the range, the nearly two hundred square meters of Celestial Stars was impossible for anyone to dodge.
Sterl originally wanted to mimic the villains in various popular novels, giving his opponent hope and then leading them to despair.
But that centaur star player didn't run? Still standing there talking nonsense??
Then forget it!
Just go die!
Sterl slightly waved his hand, and the Celestial Stars descended once again!
Intense blue flames burst forth!
Celestial Stars descended once again!
But this time, it directly dumbfounded all the players in the trial field!
What's the effect of a meteor with a diameter of more than 200 meters smashing into the ground??
Visually, one could see it was like a giant rock of apocalyptic destruction hitting the ground thunderously!
Boom!!!
The ground shook and the mountains trembled! The entire arena seemed to be shaking!
Many in the spectator stands, caught off guard, were directly shaken off their seats, tumbling embarrassingly to the ground. Many NPC members of the Divine Mountain Empire are also unstable.
That priest had to activate his power to create a shield to ensure he wasn't disturbed.
However, this was just the initial impact! Subsequently, the pure azure star power of the Celestial Stars transformed into flames and exploded!
Everyone saw the azure flames sweeping across nearly half of the arena like a storm!
This is also why the effect of the Celestial Stars isn't really about summoning stars from the cosmos. Otherwise a meteor of 200 square meters would have been enough to completely destroy the entire arena and the adjacent areas.
But even a weakened version of the meteor turned this round of the trial into somewhat of a joke!
With the addition of the starlight splash bonus, tens of thousands of monsters on the field were cleared by at least four to five thousand! A few players who were relatively close to Sterl and were being embarrassingly chased found that their surroundings had suddenly cleared!
But these players were not lucky.
First, they were knocked to the ground by the massive shockwave of the Celestial Stars, tumbling around in disarray. Then they were scorched by the high temperature and heat of the stellar power, catching fire on their bodies, even being ignited like torches!!
Finally, they were finished off by the cutting effect of the countless azure energy filaments formed by the falling starlight.
These alien players didn't even have time to react! Moreover, due to the control effect accompanying the shockwave of the Celestial Stars, within a few seconds, these individuals vanished into light.
Obviously, they were directly killed!
Of course, it was also their bad luck for not anticipating the extensive impact range of the Celestial Stars. Otherwise, in a full-effort survival mode, they wouldn't have been instantly killed by the aftermath of Sterl's skill. At least they could have lasted a bit longer...
At this moment, the spectator stands were completely silent!
In the arena that was supposed to symbolize passion and fervor, there was only—silence!
"No way, how is this possible?"
"Am I crazy, or is there a problem with the[Transcendence]system?"
"Why though? Even if it's a purple-quality skill, It shouldn't be this overpowered, right? The range is so large, and the damage is ridiculously high??"
"You can't tell me this is a golden-quality ultimate. That would be even more unreasonable!"
...
Players were really a bit dumbfounded, even suspecting, could this be a golden skill?
But soon, they dismissed their own speculation.
Only those with legendary status can use golden skills!
This is an iron law in [Transcendence], involving legendary powers, relying on the player's personal legendary status!
Even if you complete an extremely difficult hidden task early and learn a golden skill. Without the enhancement of legendary status, that golden skill and a purple skill are basically no different, and might even be somewhat weaker.
But to say that the Earth strongman in the arena below has legendary status is even more illogical!
This isn't something you can get by simply grinding monsters. You at least have to have participated in the main quests of the Divine Mountain Empire.
Then why would you need to participate in the empire's trial?
If you've got legendary status from the main storyline, you'd be a big shot in the entire Divine Mountain Empire. Wouldn't the priest below fawn over you?
It just doesn't make any sense!
Those who were even more panicked than the spectators were the players participating in the trial. As they realized that if the Earth strongman wished, many of them might be directly eliminated, unable to continue in the trial at all!!
This is the end!!
For a moment, everyone was intimidated by Sterl's ultimate move!
No one dared to move! They really didn't dare to move!
Wait, what happened to that centaur star player...
No one cared.
Because the moment he was directly hit by the Celestial Stars, he had already turned into ashes!
And then, the most terrifying thing for the players participating in the trial happened.
Sterl, without any hesitation, continuously activated the instant teleportation effect of the star domain, chasing after another player who was the closest, and then another Celestial Stars was unleashed!!
