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

Chapter 722: Royal Castle Lockdown! Shameless Actions!

Sterl remained in the posture of throwing a punch, and the destructive shockwave rapidly spread throughout the entire royal vault.

For the Kingdom of Orichalcum, the center of the royal city should have been the temples where many gods resided, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.

If everything in the royal vault were to be taken out and used, it could even create ordinary gods in bulk. So, in comparison, the royal vault was the true core of the entire royal city.

Now, under this destructive shockwave, the once solid royal vault began to tremble violently, and countless cracks appeared on the vault’s barriers.

Although the vault was massive, it was still too small to withstand the impact of two monstrous forces. The shockwave couldn’t dissipate properly and was instead concentrated entirely within the vault, causing catastrophic damage.

Some items, located closer to the center, were completely disintegrated by the shock, shattering into piles of rubble.

Seeing this, Sterl’s eyelids twitched. In his eyes, the rare treasures of the royal vault had long been seen as already his. Now, seeing them destroyed right under his nose felt like having his flesh cut away. It was a painful blow.

However, at this moment, Sterl couldn’t afford to focus on such things. With the power of Star-Bone Body augmenting him, he continued to clash against the divine sword.

If the royal vault looked this bad, the rest of the royal city was in no better condition.

The power from within the vault was being dispersed across the royal city, sharing the immense pressure the vault had been enduring.

This caused the entire royal city to suffer a devastating blow. Towering buildings crumbled and collapsed, while even the ground, which demigods couldn’t leave a trace on, cracked open with deep fissures.

The entire royal city seemed like a fragile porcelain artifact, constantly on the verge of shattering.

Fortunately, just then, a brilliant energy shield rose from the royal city, stabilizing it. If this situation continued to worsen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Please don’t let anything happen..."

Outside the vault, Diana’s face was filled with worry. The shockwave from earlier had been so strong that she could barely keep herself upright. This only heightened her anxiety.

She had already experienced the pain of losing Sterl once. If it happened again, she wasn’t sure if she could bear it.

Inside the vault, the Power of Star-Bone was depleting rapidly. Sterl could only inject more soul power to prolong the duration of Star-Bone Body.

Luckily, the power of the rainbow-colored divine sword was also being drained at an incredible speed.

But after a while, Sterl suddenly felt a sharp pain. To his shock, the fist he had, which was as strong as Stellar Crystal, had actually torn open a bloodline!

His defense... had been breached!

Sterl’s pupils constricted, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. But before he could react further, a crisp cracking sound echoed.

He watched as a visible crack appeared on the blade of the rainbow-colored divine sword where it had made contact with him. The crack spread rapidly, coursing through the entire sword’s body.

Without hesitation, Sterl unleashed the remaining Power of Star-Bone within him in a single, forceful surge.

Boom!

The rainbow-colored divine sword suddenly exploded, shattering into a kaleidoscope of colorful ice crystals that scattered throughout the vault’s air. At the same time, the Power of Star-Bone within Sterl had been drained to its last drop. If that final bit of energy was exhausted, he would once again fall into that vulnerable state.

Sterl immediately deactivated Star-Bone Body, and the power within him receded like a retreating tide. He quickly checked the soul reserves in his Purgatory Space, and with a small sigh of relief, he noted that they had increased significantly.

[???]

Sterl frowned. Aside from the question marks, he couldn’t even identify the object’s name.

Clearly, this was the last line of defense set up by the royal city to prevent its treasures from being stolen in the event of an attack.

Not only that, but Sterl also faintly sensed that if he tried to forcibly remove this item from the royal city’s vault, under the power of the seal, the item would instantly shatter, losing all of its value.

Even if it were destroyed, it would never benefit the enemy!

This discovery left Sterl feeling quite irritated. While he had used the excuse of testing his strength, his real purpose, of course, was to acquire the vast wealth accumulated within the vault over the years.

With these treasures, combined with his cheat evolution, his foundation would grow rapidly.

Moreover, his Starry Battle Armor was obtained here, and perhaps he could find other parts of the Stellar Set within the vault.

Even one Starry Battle Armor had provided him with so much help and enhancement. If he were to gather the entire set, it would activate the abilities of the Stellar Set, transforming him into the Lord of the Endless Stars!

Just hearing the name made it clear that this would be an overwhelmingly powerful ability!

But now, this plan had been ruined before it even began.

"Shameless! The victor becomes king, and the loser becomes a bandit—that’s the truth! And they actually pulled this stunt on me..."

Sterl muttered in frustration, though if he were in their shoes, facing a certain death situation, he would probably try to destroy everything of value to ensure that his enemies couldn’t benefit from it. It was all about playing dead rather than allowing anyone to gain from his downfall.

But now, there was no way he would just give up. He had been eyeing these treasures for so long; how could he just walk away?

With a thought, a Scroll of Appraisal appeared in his hand.

This was an item he had obtained in Hell. It could appraise most valuable objects and break the seals on them.

However, the scroll was only of divine quality, meaning it would most likely fail to break the royal city’s powerful seal.

Sterl gripped the scroll in one hand and held the spherical object in the other, waiting patiently.

Soon, Sterl’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

The evolution ability of his cheat had refreshed. Without hesitation, he immediately began to evolve the scroll in his hand.

A strange, divine force surged into the scroll, rapidly enhancing its power!

For single-use items like this, Sterl had tried evolving them before. In most cases, one evolution was enough to bring the item to its peak.

And this scroll was no exception.

After the evolution was complete, Sterl checked the scroll’s new abilities, and a smile finally appeared on his previously frustrated face.
