BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136: Legendary Souls, All for Nourishment!
However, the most crucial point was...
The legendary souls knew they were about to die!
Constantine had already demonstrated his capability to kill their comrades, with immensely powerful means of attack. Once they were restrained, their lives were completely at his mercy!
These souls were so terrified that they wanted to tremble, but even such a simple action was beyond their capability.
In extreme anxiety and pain, they could only maintain their previously arrogant expressions, staring at Constantine, whose pupils reflected a cold, deathly gaze—
A gaze that came from the legendary souls themselves!
...
At this moment, Sterl was also somewhat bewildered.
The full eruption of the perfect-grade Law Power had shocked him with its final effect.
He had only used the incomplete [Moon] before!
One moment, Sterl was brimming with vigor. The next, he was trembling all over, his energy completely drained.
He even took the time to drink the potion he had previously evolved, instantly replenishing his energy, and then frantically drew energy from his energy storage pool to barely activate the law.
Sterl was only able to stand with the continuous replenishment from his energy storage pool.
The effect of [Moon] at this moment was incredibly exaggerated.
Ten seconds!
Within ten seconds, Sterl could move freely, while everything else in the vicinity, every entity present, was as if sealed, unable to move.
"Next time, there\'s no need to use full power to activate it. It\'s too wasteful." he pondered.
Although his body felt somewhat depleted, Sterl maintained an outward appearance of calm and composure. The face he wore as Constantine bore a faint smile, exuding the demeanor of an unparalleled strongman.
Meanwhile, during the duration of the Moon domain, he did not rush to act!
"After all this effort, shouldn\'t I flaunt a bit?"
Sterl was in a good mood. Under the Moon Law\'s control effect, he was the only one who could move freely, akin to a deity holding the power over life and death.
He couldn\'t even be bothered to attack.
Instead, he strolled leisurely, first approaching the burly spirit who had unleashed the legendary ability, Solar Flare.
This legendary soul was now utterly terrified but could only maintain a semblance of maniacal laughter, frozen in the pose of releasing his skill.
Sterl advanced unhurriedly, gradually closing in.
Coincidentally, the pure and intense flames produced by the legendary ability, Solar Flare, blocked Sterl\'s path, resembling a blooming lotus of fire that separated the burly spirit from Sterl.
Faced with this immensely powerful fiery creation, capable of easily incinerating third-class or even legendary players to ashes, Sterl extended his hand. As if drawing aside a curtain, he pushed the fiery lotus aside.
Under the slowing effect of the Moon Law, the blazing heat would take several seconds to cause damage.
Thus, Sterl could move the flames with his bare hands!
Of course, while the power was significantly reduced, the fiery lotus was still born of the legendary ability, Solar Flare. Even a brief touch caused horrendous burns and intense pain.
But Sterl instantly regenerated via his life storage pool, the injuries vanishing without a trace. He suppressed any sign of pain, maintaining an air of unruffled calm, exuding the demeanor of an unmatched strongman.
This scene left the myriad legendary souls utterly stupefied.
Terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying!
Bare-handedly withstanding a legendary ability...
This was no third-class player; he must be a hidden powerhouse!
Yes, that makes sense!
Third-class was just Constantine\'s facade. His real strength—calling him a demigod wouldn\'t be an exaggeration!
Meanwhile, the observing players, though not understanding the intricacies of Sterl\'s maneuver, were equally awestruck. A true master! To Constantine, others\' ultimate moves seemed like mere children\'s toys.
Sterl then slowly approached the burly legendary soul.
Snap!
Sterl snapped his fingers, and a rainbow-colored Divine Flame immediately engulfed the soul!
No screams, no wails!
The soul maintained its arrogant and disdainful expression as it turned to ashes.
Next, Sterl, with a casual demeanor, looked at the other souls, his hands moving in mid-air as if playing an invisible piano, seemingly picking random targets to ignite with Solar Flare.
In reality, he was using Star Insight\'s detection data to prioritize the elimination of those with stronger legendary abilities.
Nevertheless, Sterl\'s expression held a faint disdain and indifference, giving no hint of his calculated actions.
It seemed as if killing these legendary souls was as trivial to him as slaughtering chickens, with no emotional ripple in his heart.
In truth, Sterl\'s impeccable expression management belied the glee in his heart as the [Transcendence] system notifications popped up incessantly before his eyes—
[You have killed Legendary Wielding, gaining four points of Legendary Status.]
[You have killed Legendary Oran, gaining two points of Legendary Status.]
[You have killed...]
Although no Legendary Crystal dropped, Sterl was more than satisfied with the rewards he reaped within these few seconds!
Moreover, his seemingly leisurely and unhurried movements were meticulously calculated to ensure that he could kill all the legendary souls within the 10-second window of the Moon Law\'s effect!
As the saying goes, "showing off and reaping the benefits, both at once!"
It seemed that the situation was completely under Sterl\'s control. Theoretically, the legendary souls would soon be obliterated, allowing Sterl to leave with the Newborn Sprout of Creation.
However, Sterl remained vigilant, knowing that the legendary souls still clung to a sliver of hope.
Both parties considered that the Dark Moon Alliance might still intervene!
Would it be a demigod? Or a goddess descending?
But in reality, in the void—
"My Lady, are we really going to let him kill them all?" Richard couldn\'t help but ask.
Gloria frowned slightly, "Do I need to spell it out? These soul bodies turning into nourishment for Constantine is their best fate."
Richard, rebuked, dared not speak further. Unlike before, he now harbored deep resentment towards Constantine, unwilling to see him gain so much legendary points effortlessly.
After the brief exchange, silence once again enveloped the void.
Sterl could never have guessed that these legendary souls were sent to him to be slaughtered, nor could the legendary souls have realized they had already been abandoned!
The goddess of the Dark Moon Alliance remained ever heartless.
Any trace of emotion she might have had certainly did not belong to these subordinates.
Within the instance, as Sterl was nearly done with the slaughter of the legendary souls—
He noticed that the soul fragments dispersed upon their deaths were continuously absorbed by the Newborn Sprout of Creation in his hand.
"Wait, this thing isn\'t fully matured yet?"
Sterl paused momentarily, but his hands didn\'t slow, continuing to ignite one legendary soul after another with the rainbow-colored Divine Flame.
As Sterl killed the sixteenth legendary soul, the Newborn Sprout of Creation in his hand blossomed with a brilliant and dazzling light, intensely radiant!
The rich aura of life grew even stronger.
Everyone present inexplicably understood one thing in their hearts.
At this moment, the Newborn Sprout of Creation was finally complete!
Previously, after its emergence, part of its power had been consumed to fully nurture the instance world. Now, with the nourishment from these legendary souls, it had finally reached a perfect and flawless state!
At this moment, Sterl\'s expression changed dramatically.
He couldn\'t care less about continuing to hunt down the remaining legendary souls.
Sterl tossed the Newborn Sprout of Creation aside, then wrapped himself in the power of the Moon Law, compressing it to just an inch around him, and fled at lightning speed!
"Constantine is actually this powerful!"
"That\'s impossible, absolutely impossible…"
Players and legendary souls alike were instantly freed from their slowed state, immediately voicing their reactions to the previous scene.
Their bodies resumed their previous movements, skills and techniques that had been in mid-activation continued to operate...
It was as if a paused movie had resumed playing.
However, their attention was entirely on the discarded Newborn Sprout of Creation and Constantine\'s bizarre actions.
Everyone was utterly baffled!
One legendary soul instinctively caught the Newborn Sprout of Creation that was thrown into the air, and the countdown reset to ten seconds.
The previous halt in the countdown was due to the Dark Moon Alliance\'s goddess\'s Divine Power. She could finely manipulate Divine Power to impose various restrictions and states on players and had naturally controlled the Divine Power to stop the countdown, rendering it ineffective against those with legendary abilities.
Time flew by.
Ten seconds...
Nine seconds...
Eight seconds...
...
Two seconds...
One second...
The atmosphere on the field was incredibly eerie. The legendary soul, having pocketed the Newborn Sprout of Creation, dared not act rashly against Constantine.
Just moments ago, Constantine had clearly demonstrated the ability to slaughter all of them. It was unclear why he had ceased his actions.
The legendary souls were not foolish. They knew that Constantine abandoning the Newborn Sprout of Creation must have been due to some danger. However, out of extreme loyalty to the Dark Moon Goddess, they did not hesitate to take hold of the Newborn Sprout of Creation.
The legendary souls wanted to hurl a few harsh words at Constantine but didn\'t quite dare.
The players held their breath, hoping they could go home soon, though they felt their chances were slim...
As for Sterl, he was ready to invoke Divine Power at a moment\'s notice, highly focused, with no time for anything else.
Thus, an eerie silence enveloped the entire scene.
