Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 797: Soul Power Harvest! The Coveted World!

Sterl's eyes still carried a hint of lingering fear.

It was through this test that he truly realized the power of the War Demon identity. Without this identity, raising an army would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Without this identity, he would never have been able to obtain the War Soul Resonance arcane skill. If he wanted to challenge the Dream Spirit Empire, the power of this arcane skill was absolutely essential.

Otherwise, Sterl could not fathom how he would destroy the colossal army the Dream Spirit Empire had built over nearly 40,000 years.

After reflecting for a moment, he stored the Dream Orb back into his possession. With the ability of the Dream Orb, he had already recorded the location of the Land of Eternal Sealing. Even though the key had broken, he could still open the Gateway of Passage and escape the Eternal Light World.

For now, Sterl wasn't in a rush. He realized that although his strength was not weak, it was still far from enough to guarantee success in Dreamland.

Let's not even mention the powerful forces hidden in this world; just the commander of that legion, whose superluminal attack left him shaken, was enough to cause concern.

That kind of power could even bypass the Star-Bone Body's defense.

And this was definitely not the most powerful force in Dreamland.

To say nothing of that, even if he faced the Nightmare Marshals in a life-and-death battle, he could only handle two to three of them at most. That was his current limit.

Therefore, he still needed time to settle, and he needed to make himself stronger.

Fortunately, after the massacre of those heavily armored soldiers in the Land of Eternal Sealing, he had received a huge surprise.

The souls of Dreamland's creatures could refine soul power far beyond that of the creatures in the [Transcendence] world!

With a slight thought, the Soul Devourer Sphere appeared in his hand.

He felt a sense of anticipation as he focused his consciousness, reaching into it. The massive soul power accumulated inside, though anticipated, still caused him to take a sharp breath.

[High-level Soul Power: 265,480]

[Normal Soul Power: 1,528,900]

Such a vast amount of high-level soul power was astronomical, far exceeding the total he had previously accumulated!

Some of it was refined by the mother body, while the majority came from the souls of the soldiers he had slain.

It sounded almost unbelievable, but consider this: those heavily armored soldiers included a number who were at the divine rank, while the rest, though not quite at the divine level, had surpassed the half-limit of [Transcendence], reaching a tier where their power was not inferior to that of deities.

Furthermore, the souls of the creatures in this world could refine even more soul power.

Typically, the soul of an ordinary deity could only refine 10 points of high-level soul power, but the souls of soldiers at the divine rank in Dreamland could refine 20 points of high-level soul power!

Soldiers below the divine rank could refine 100 points of normal soul power from their souls!

So, in the battle just now, even though Sterl only slaughtered about twenty thousand soldiers, the harvest was vast.

"This is an opportunity..."

At this, a sharp light flickered in Sterl's eyes.

The number of soldiers in this world was easily in the tens of millions. If he could refine the souls of these creatures, the amount of soul power he could acquire would be tens or even hundreds of times greater than the entire hell itself!

One could only imagine how such enormous soul power could elevate his strength to unimaginable levels.

Instantly, Sterl's thoughts underwent a drastic change. Previously, his goal had been to obtain Dream Power. But now, Dreamland had transformed into an alluring treasure in his eyes, tempting him to devour it whole!

As for the soul power he had just acquired, he didn't immediately use it.

Although the 260,000 high-level soul power would absolutely allow his body to break through its third limit, granting him new and powerful talents, Sterl wasn't foolish enough to do so. With his current physical strength, if he were to use it, the only outcome would be that his body would explode under the sheer weight of this vast soul power!

As for the more than one million normal soul power, while a great amount, it would only provide him with a slight boost. After all, he had previously endured the infusion of fifteen million soul power, so this amount would hardly have any major effect on him.

Would it be better to use all this soul power to enhance the mother body's puppet in the Purgatory Space?

Sterl had also rejected that idea, as he was still unsure whether normal soul power could continue to have an effect once his physical body had reached a certain extreme.

Thus, he didn't want to prematurely cement the characteristics of the mother body, as it would lead to a huge waste of resources, and later on, it would be costly to make any adjustments.

The best choice, for now, was to keep the soul power stored.

At a critical moment, the soul power in the Soul Devourer Sphere could serve as a powerful trump card. The 260,000 high-level soul power, if unleashed in an instant, would have a power that Sterl couldn't even begin to imagine.

He was certain that any enemy struck by this burst would undergo extremely complex changes.

"To improve my strength in a short period of time, I can only focus on my swordsmanship techniques and passive abilities."

Sterl pondered thoughtfully. Aside from these two, there was also Perfect Regeneration.

However, the improvement of Perfect Regeneration was gradual—it wouldn't lead to a significant boost in strength in the short term. It could only improve by about 1.2% a day.

Of course, this gradual progress was only true for him. For any other strong individual, a 1.2% improvement per day would be unimaginable.

Swordsmanship techniques were focused on digesting the remnants of Nightmare Overlord's techniques and creating more Overlord Sword moves.

As for passive abilities, it was much simpler: all he had to do was wait for the cheat to refresh, and then it would evolve directly.

This was the exclusive privilege of a cheat user, a path to power that could not be replicated.

Sterl never felt ashamed of his cheat-like advantage. On the contrary, if he didn't fully exploit this advantage, that would be true foolishness.

"The psychic crystal can still evolve twice more. With today's evolution opportunity, I'll only need a little more than a day to reach its peak," Sterl thought to himself as he felt the crystal within his spiritual sea.

During this time, he wouldn't waste a single moment.

With a thought, Sterl quickly entered the Land of All Beings, beginning another round of swordsmanship training.

He pulled the greatsword from the ground and swung it forcefully at the surroundings. Instantly, hundreds of figures appeared around him, all swinging the same moves as him.

Then, the figures shattered, and over a hundred realizations surged into his mind, helping him rapidly refine and improve the sword move.

"The power of Overlord Sword · Chā is very strong, but it consumes a lot of energy. It's more suited for facing powerful enemies, but when it comes to facing a strategy of overwhelming numbers, it can fall short," Sterl analyzed.

"So, I need to create a sword technique specifically for dealing with swarm tactics. Also, I need to develop a sword move for piercing through crowds…"

Sterl quickly analyzed his shortcomings in swordsmanship.

Instead of directly learning ready-made sword skills, Sterl preferred to develop his own.

The abilities he created himself would always be perfectly suited to him and free from any limitations. As long as his body could withstand it, he could use them an infinite number of times.

Furthermore, with the Land of All Beings as a technique sanctuary, if he were still relying on ready-made sword skills, he might as well stop practicing altogether.

Without sword techniques that perfectly match his own nature, even with a high swordsmanship tier, the power he could unleash would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, practicing technique abilities had never been easy. It required an enormous amount of time, effort, and resources.

After slaying the Nightmare Overlord, Sterl learned from the remnants of the opponent's soul that one of the reasons the Nightmare Overlord sought to dominate the entire world, aside from seizing ultimate power, was to plunder the world's resources in order to enhance his technique abilities.

Indeed, the cost of improving technique abilities was that terrifying.

This also meant that every powerful technique user was essentially a top-level pauper, with their pockets emptier than their faces.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Sterl grew increasingly focused. He continued until his mental energy was completely drained, at which point he was forcibly teleported out.

With a long sigh, Sterl first evolved the psychic crystal, then began meditating to recover his energy.

Once his mental power was restored, he entered the Land of All Beings again to continue honing his swordsmanship.

A day later, Sterl teleported out of the Land of All Beings, but a sharp and heavy sword intent still lingered around him.

Sword of the World had somehow appeared in his hand.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and with a surge of strength in his arm, the power of his blood and Qi, mixed with his technique force, erupted instantly!

'Overlord Sword · Ring Sever!'

Clang!

The greatsword was unsheathed, and a white sword aura, tinged with blood light, shot out. The aura took the shape of a circular ring, expanding outward from Sterl as its center. Everywhere it passed, everything was split in two, sliced cleanly in half.

The circular sword aura spread out for several hundred meters before gradually dissipating.

Sterl sheathed his greatsword, looking at the masterpiece he had created, a satisfied expression crossing his face.

"Finally, it's done. Though there are many aspects that need improvement, at least there's a rough prototype now."

Sterl said with a smile.

At Swordsmanship Grandmaster level 30, Sterl was now able to freely unleash sword aura. The sword aura didn't consume any energy; as long as his physical strength was sufficient, he could continue swinging and cutting indefinitely.

And Overlord Sword · Ring Sever was a powerful sword move developed by Sterl, based on sword aura and combined with his swordsmanship abilities, designed specifically to counter swarm tactics.
