Chapter 705: The Gray Energy Body! The Final Battle?
The Perfect Regeneration of the Star-Bone Sacred Body activated, and the damage caused by the concentrated force of the Annihilation Realm King's Fist instantly healed, becoming even stronger than before.
"These two abilities are truly a perfect match!"
A smile appeared on Sterl's face, but it quickly faded as he turned his attention to the situation around him.
In order to launch a preemptive strike, he hadn't had time to assess the surroundings before unleashing the fully concentrated Annihilation Realm King's Fist.
Regardless, taking the first strike was always the right choice, especially when it was clear that this was a trap set by the mysterious forces behind the scenes to deal with him. Striking first was always the safest move.
And, of course, Dimension Perception had never let him down—if he hadn't acted first, it was highly likely that he would have been severely injured instead.
Looking at the barren land around him, it was clear that all the threats had been reduced to ash by that punch.
He also realized that after awakening the Star-Bone Sacred Body and covering his body with those mysterious markings, his strength now had considerable lethality against souls.
The compression and concentration of the Annihilation Realm King's Fist made the effects even more terrifying, turning the monsters into dust and leaving behind only horrific remnants.
Sterl scanned the area. This was clearly not Hell, nor the Endless Void, but an unknown small world.
The sky was faintly gray, resembling a dead, forgotten world, and the ground beneath his feet was made of that eerie gray energy mixed with basic substances like dirt and rocks.
It was clear that this place was the domain of those mysterious invaders. The gray energy was everywhere, constantly eroding his body.
Although the intensity of the erosion wasn't high, it was still a significant drain, even for beings of Divine Authority. A slight lapse in focus could allow these gray mists to invade his body.
However, Sterl didn't need to worry about that. The Law barrier that covered his body blocked most of the gray energy.
The remaining thin power couldn't penetrate the mysterious markings to affect him.
Even without the Law barrier and markings, he wouldn't be concerned. If it weren't for the need to maintain his peak combat ability, he could let these gray energies erode him. In that case, it would even activate his Perfect Regeneration ability, serving as a powerful boost for his own strength.
Sterl's mind stirred, and his powerful soul perception spread out. This space had the ability to block perception, but Sterl's soul was far too strong. Though it was somewhat suppressed, he had no trouble covering a radius of several hundred miles.
"Nothing?"
He raised an eyebrow. Within his perception range, he couldn't sense a single living being, which was rather odd.
Could it be that the hidden forces' method was just that last wave? That would be pathetic.
Shaking his head, Sterl knew the methods of these mysterious beings. When they chose to act, it was always a thunderous strike. If it weren't for the fact that his own power had grown so rapidly, he would have already been killed countless times by now.
"Still hiding? Then I'll just blast you out!"
His gaze sharpened, and a sinister look appeared on Sterl's face. Dimension Perception clearly indicated that the threat had not fully disappeared.
Since the enemy had chosen to stay hidden, he would just unleash a broad attack and force them out!
Moreover, he suspected that this small world was only temporarily constructed. No... to be precise, this wasn't a small world at all, just a small space.
This meant that once this space was shattered, it was very likely that he would return to the location where he had been sucked in earlier, back to the [Tanscendence] world.
So...
Sterl slowly began to channel his internal power. All of the Laws and his vitality quickly condensed, continuously compressing into Fission, much like a super-powered nuclear reactor.
In an instant, his aura shot up like a rocket, expanding with each passing second.
Sterl himself was also bearing immense pressure. The huge internal pressure generated by compressing four hundred and eighty Laws, combined with his terrifying power, twisted and damaged his body, even though it was incredibly strong.
Luckily, the Perfect Regeneration of the Star-Bone Sacred Body was powerful enough that as soon as his body started to show damage, it immediately healed.
After five seconds, Sterl's face had turned red from the internal pressure, his body trembling slightly. His aura became extremely chaotic.
Another second passed, and Sterl could no longer hold it in. With a mighty punch, he struck the ground beneath him!
In an instant!
It was like a meteor that had been accelerated to the speed of light crashing into the land. The ground, made of gray energy as its core, let out a screeching groan.
Then, it exploded violently!
The land within a hundred miles immediately collapsed, with countless cracks rapidly spreading across it. The gray energy contained within the land was forcefully torn apart and eroded by this wild, frenzied, and destructive force.
Not long after, the entire land trembled. Sterl could feel that the space was becoming increasingly fragile. In this state, there was no need to do anything—before long, this small space would collapse on its own and completely shatter.
But there was no doubt that the hidden forces behind the scenes would not allow him to escape so easily.
At that moment, dense gray energy mist began to seep out from the cracks in the sky.
These mists quickly adhered to the crumbling points, forcefully stabilizing them.
Soon, the small world, which was on the verge of destruction, began to recover and even became sturdier than before.
The influx of gray energy from above didn't stop—it only continued to increase.
Massive amounts of gray mist began to coalesce in mid-air, and soon, a humanoid figure slowly emerged from the mist.
"Finally here..."
Sterl took a deep breath, his expression instantly becoming serious. The warning from Dimension Perception reached its peak. Clearly, this was the true source of the threat—this was the weapon those hidden forces had prepared to eliminate him.
"Is this the true master behind the mothers?"
He suddenly thought to himself.
At that moment, the intense gray mist fully solidified, and a figure, indistinguishable from an ordinary person, stepped out.
This figure had no facial features, no hair—it seemed to be entirely made of gray energy mist, a pure energy entity.
Sterl immediately realized that this wasn't the true form of the hidden forces. It was likely just an energy avatar that they had condensed.
It was similar to the Lava Giants, who could create magma avatars from molten power. This was almost the same principle.
Sterl couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. He had expected to face those monsters directly, but clearly... the forces behind them were stronger than he had anticipated. His displayed power hadn't yet qualified him to make them send their true form after him.
Even so, this energy entity was already terrifying in itself. After all, this gray energy naturally had the power to erode everything and the ability to be immune to Law Powers. An avatar created from such energy could not be weak!
Sterl slightly clenched his fist, intending to repeat his previous tactic and use the Annihilation Realm King's Fist to obliterate the creature. However, before he could begin to gather the power, the gray energy entity suddenly spread its arms wide.
In an instant, a large amount of material from both the earth and the sky began rushing toward the monster at an incredibly fast speed. The gray energy followed and merged with the material.
The material stacked onto the surface of the energy body, rapidly compressing and condensing. To Sterl's shock, the energy began to form into a solid, physical body at an astonishing rate!
Sterl's heart tightened—this was happening too fast. He watched as the land in this small space began to dissolve like foam, merging into the energy body.
At this rate, in less than ten seconds, everything in this small space would condense onto this energy entity.
Without hesitation, Sterl immediately began to gather the Annihilation Realm King's Fist, furiously compressing and fissioning the power within him.
One second... two seconds... five seconds...
This time, Sterl held it for eight seconds, and the destructive power he had gathered was at least twice as strong as before! Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
"One punch... I'll kill you!"
Sterl roared, his voice distorting from the overwhelming surge of power.
With that, he unleashed the Annihilation Realm King's Fist, hurling it toward the gray energy entity!
The surrounding land, within a hundred-mile radius, instantly collapsed. The terrifying force tore through everything like a storm, all directed at the creature.
At that moment, a massive black hand emerged from the wreckage of countless materials, acting like an indestructible shield, blocking the attack.
Boom!!
The full force of the Annihilation Realm King's Fist slammed into the black hand.
The hand immediately cracked with numerous fissures, but astonishingly, it didn't shatter instantly. It held for a second or two before finally crumbling away!
Next, the power of the Annihilation Realm King's Fist continued to surge, shredding and clearing away all the material and energy surrounding the entity.
In the next moment, a ten-meter-tall humanoid figure emerged, as if crafted from black metal.
The creature's appearance was identical to those of the battle-formed mothers, but the aura it exuded was far more pure and overwhelming.
One of its arms appeared twisted, the hand completely shattered and gone—clearly, it had taken the full brunt of the Annihilation Realm King's Fist.
But in an instant, that arm recovered, and the power from the punch was completely absorbed and dissipated.
Not only that, but Sterl could faintly sense that the arm, now restored, seemed even tougher than before!
