Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Portal of Soul Structure
Shattered Void had already reached Iridescent-Level, but without the corresponding divine authority, it couldn't be fully unleashed.
However, Sterl had been at home for the past few days, using any spare points to invest in Blood of the Holy Spirit, and then releasing Shattered Void while contemplating the power of the Blade Law.
The power of Shattered Void had been steadily increasing.
At this moment, Sterl solidified the space, and the forces belonging to Space Law and Arcane Law were easily shattered by the half-Iridescent-Level skill. However…

The subsequent Blade Power far surpassed the previous two Law Powers!
The sharp aura surged forward like countless blades, ready to massacre!
Initially, the fifteen seed players had not yet plunged into complete despair.
They couldn't believe that David could easily handle Iridescent-Level power. If he had such strength, he would have already ascended to godhood!
If he were a god, what need would he have to participate in this Valor Combatants tournament?
Moreover, the Hall of Valor was currently in a special state; any divine-level entity lingering here was purely courting death!
David was not a god, and if we six quasi-divine beings unleashed our full power…
The advantage is on our side!
The seed players hadn't felt they couldn't win; they were simply afraid for their lives and chose to flee.
Especially when they saw the solidifying power of Shattered Void being explosively shattered, their spirits lifted!
Sure enough!
Though David was strong, we can handle him together!
The expressions of the seed players had just begun to calm down, but then they twisted again!
In a very short time, their minds were shaken once more, but they had no time to change their expressions.
It was an extraordinarily dramatic scene.
Numerous half-Iridescent-Level abilities faced the unknown technique unleashed by David.
They were actually locked in a stalemate?
No, it should be said that those countless sword-like auras and phantoms were slightly overpowering the six half-Iridescent-Level forces!
The blade energy roared, bit by bit suppressing the other skills!
The number of David's skills couldn't compare to the six, but in terms of quality, they had the upper hand.
Because of this, the fifteen seed players were engulfed in immense terror!
They knew that the technique David unleashed had two phases.
The first phase was a flash of blade light and shadow.
The second phase was even more ferocious!
Now, the blade light and shadow were momentarily suppressing their skills.
How were they supposed to handle the second phase?
They had no time to react further and could only desperately drive their skills, trying to shatter Sterl's technique before the second wave of explosion hit.
Clearly, this was impossible.
Even a nuclear warhead before Sterl transmigrated would not be obliterated upon encountering an incredibly terrifying impact.
Instead…
It would explode prematurely!
The fifteen seed players were unaware of this; their desperate attempts to unleash their skills had turned into a death sentence!
In the midst of increasingly frenzied power collisions,
Crack, crack.
Sounds of shattering echoed.
Countless sword shadows shattered!
The fifteen seed players had no time to react.
Boom!
It was a thunderous sound that shook the heavens and the earth!
The players from the Felix Guild had already reacted and activated various teleportation items to escape, but it was still too late!
The light produced by Fission seemed to devour everything!
It surged and roiled!!
A single, no, countless mushroom clouds formed!
In everyone's perspective, it was as if countless suns had risen!
The members of the Felix Guild could feel that if the dark sun created by David before had instilled fear and unease, like a demon's lair that swallowed everything,
now the pure white, blazing sun instead brought endless light and heat!
However, this light and heat were so overwhelming that no existence could withstand it!
Everything was reduced to ashes within it!
Shattered Void was already stronger than ordinary half-Iridescent-Level skills.
And the divine-level skill, Fission, was equivalent to a higher divine authority.
Though the power of rules embodied in Fission could not break through the barrier of divine level,
it was infinitely close to Divine Power!
The two forces combined.
Unbeatable!
Even quasi-divine beings could only await their doom!
The statue disintegrated into nothingness, and the shadow creatures behind Sterl were ignited, their destructive divine light easily devoured by the high-energy light of Fission Law…
The six half-Iridescent-Level abilities turned to nothingness!
Then…
The light spread.
It disappeared after a few seconds.
Only Sterl remained standing in place.
The cave he occupied was part of the Hall of Valor created by the great Divine Power, so it was only stripped of a layer, with the scene hardly changing at all.
But the surrounding seed players and the members of the Felix Guild were all consumed by the light!
And Sterl slowly uttered a phrase.
"What kind of force do these sixteen strong players belong to? Why did they oppose me?"
He still couldn't figure out who the enemy was.
This group of seed players had concealed their identities out of caution before revealing themselves.
After Sterl broke through and escaped earlier, he immediately launched a counterattack, without even the time to activate Star Insight or to check their identities.
"Forget it, no need to dwell on it."
"After all, there are no divine-level units in the Hall of Valor now."
"I am invincible."
He thought casually.
By the way, the surroundings were incredibly clean, with not a single loot sphere in sight.
So Sterl knew that the ones who had attacked him must be from within the Hall of Valor; there wouldn't be any drops from players killing one another within the same faction.
Additionally, Sterl's combat power had also been sensed by the Hall of Valor.
He essentially held a status level close to that of a god, meaning he could slay other members of the Hall of Valor without facing any punishment.
After analyzing for a few seconds, he felt that it was impossible for any faction within the Hall of Valor to produce this many quasi-divine beings all at once.
"So, these quasi-divine beings are a self-formed alliance??"
Sterl still couldn't make sense of it and could only temporarily set aside his thoughts.
He looked around.
Everything had come to an end.
The only thing left was—
A portal stood nearby, emitting crackling arcs of electricity.
At first, Sterl didn't pay much attention to what that thing was.
After the battle ended, he took a moment to inspect it and discovered that a significant amount of Divine Power had been consumed, precisely due to the creation of that isolation membrane.
"Ah?"
He was taken aback.
"What is this suction force?"
"Why is it so difficult to resist? It requires additional Divine Power to create a substance to defend against it?"
Sterl was filled with confusion.
But soon, his confusion turned into delight.
That portal was not an ordinary creation; it was a medium akin to the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls!
Because of this, what it absorbed was not Sterl's physical body but rather his soul!
"Damn! If I had been captured by that thing just now, I would have been finished!"
Sterl had just taken down sixteen Supreme, quasi-divine level strong players and felt a bit smug.
Originally, he thought he was invincible below the divine level.
After experiencing a real battle…
It turned out to be true!
Sterl was in a good mood, but at that moment, he realized…
He had come dangerously close to a disaster!
Sterl analyzed the worst-case scenario.
"That portal is likely a binding device specifically targeting souls!"
"If it has the same effect as the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls, it could even annihilate me in an instant."
"At that point, I wouldn't even have the chance to lose my powers and return to the real world as an ordinary person!"
A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead.
At that moment, Sterl was in a dilemma.
The portal floated alone in the air, its energy gradually weakening, seemingly on the verge of dissipating in the wind.
Yet, he was somewhat tempted to collect it.
Resources related to the soul were extremely precious; up to this point, Sterl had only obtained one Fire of Ten Thousand Souls.
The only problem was how to collect it?
Creating divine authority allowed for the construction of a protective membrane to isolate against certain harms, because Sterl was currently experiencing that damage.
However, Sterl needed to create a substance capable of collecting this completely unknown portal.
The consumption of Divine Power would be terrifying.
This was because the scope of creation was too broad.
He pondered for a while before ultimately deciding to activate his fourth talent—Infinite Space Insight!
This was the first time Sterl used this ability.
After some thought, he sent out an inquiry—how could he utilize this portal?
In an instant, Sterl felt himself slipping into a truly extraordinary realm; countless remnants of worlds surfaced within his soul, each one stacking upon the other.
He could see the grass and trees swaying, a wild rabbit darting through a field of flowers, and in the sky, countless winged soldiers clashed with one another. In the bubbling lava, unique forms of life were coming into existence…
It was as if everything from the infinite worlds had entered Sterl's vision, with endless information surging around him!
Sterl's consciousness fluttered like a butterfly in a sea of information, gently flapping its wings and creating ripples!
For a moment, he felt he had truly become a god—not just a slightly powerful entity within [Transcendence], but an omniscient and omnipotent true deity!
Eventually, he pressed his hands to his forehead, blood streaming from his eyes.
The skill had concluded!
Sterl obtained the answers he sought, but at the same time, Infinite Space Insight fell into a month-long cooldown.
"This is an instance entrance?"
"Called [Inquire Within]?"
"A type that can be carried by a person?"
"Accessing it doesn't relate to strength, but rather to one's will?"
"Time inside the instance might stretch to hundreds or thousands of years, but only a moment passes in the outside world."
"If you fail to clear it, your soul will be erased??"
"No one has cleared it in nearly a thousand years?"
Sterl quickly sorted through the information brought by Infinite Space Insight and made a swift decision.
Only a fool would attempt this instance!
He didn't consider himself some sort of "protagonist" who could break through a challenge that had remained unbroken for a millennium; he would walk in and clear it immediately.
The difficulty of [Inquire Within] was clearly extremely high, and failure meant instant death! No wonder others regarded it as a weapon.
It was indeed a terrifying killing move.
However…
Sterl suddenly remembered something.
He paused for a few seconds and switched accounts.
Mephistopheles, make your entrance!
