Chapter 701 A Body Like the World! The Mutation of the Soul!
Perhaps during one of the soul refinements or while absorbing soul power, the Soul Devourer Sphere quietly underwent a transformation, unveiling even greater power.
"Is it over again..."

"It's always like this, leaving me wanting more. I just wish I could have endless soul power to absorb,"
Sterl couldn't help but sigh, slowly opening his eyes. His gaze was like a quiet, ancient pool that had been dormant for countless years—devoid of emotion or any fluctuations in power.
At that moment, he appeared as nothing more than an ordinary mortal.
But if an upper-tier divine authority were to activate their perception and observe him with all their might, they would be horrified to discover that beneath Sterl's seemingly human body lay a vast, world-destroying power!
It was like the boundless expanse of the starry sky, or the overwhelming might of a world returning to silence—an immense power that not only inspired awe but also instilled extreme fear.
Quietly feeling the fluctuations of power within his body, he slowed his breathing and focused. He faintly heard the roar of a mighty river rushing and surging, the thundering beat of a mountain-sized drum, and the howling winds of a hurricane!
In truth, this was the rush of blood through his veins, the beating of his heart, and the airflow created by his breath!
This wasn't just a body; it was a world—a newborn, powerful world brimming with endless vitality!
"Is this my body now...?"
Sterl muttered, his voice booming like thunder, shaking the very heavens and earth.
He could feel that his body had somehow crossed a certain limit, to the point where every movement and action had the potential to create immense impact.
Unfortunately, this path was one he had forged entirely on his own, a path carved by the Soul Devourer Sphere. There were no precedents to tell him what level he had reached now.
But none of that mattered. All he needed to know was that his power had grown even stronger.
Indeed, that was Sterl's philosophy—no matter the path, no matter the method, as long as it could increase his strength, he would accept it all!
Even if something went wrong, he was confident that he could force a correction through the evolution abilities of his cheat. If that were the case, what was there to fear?
He let out a long sigh, slowly retracting the power within his body, drawing it back until it was at a level that resembled that of a mortal.
"To think this upgrade had such an effect. My ability to suppress my aura now is probably stronger than the pure suppression techniques of Platinum Skills,"
he mused.
Sterl felt the current state of his body, all the extraordinary manifestations had been retracted back inside. Even an upper-tier divine authority would have difficulty seeing through his true nature and would simply dismiss him as a mortal, ignoring him completely.
While the actual effect wasn't significant, it did mean that his control over his body had ascended to a new level.
Additionally, his mind was flooded with various inspirations, almost like memories. These memories clearly recorded the battle techniques he had once studied or seen. At this moment, all of them fused together, creating a unique set of battle techniques that were entirely his own, forming a kind of muscle memory that felt almost instinctual.
Sterl said confidently. Now, with just nine more levels to go before reaching his target of level 99, the future looked bright!
Of course, the final nine levels would each require an enormous amount of soul energy to fill. Each level was a significant leap, but Sterl had no concerns.
In the past, before obtaining the Soul Devourer Sphere, his soul level was only a bit over 60, and reaching the goal of cheat evolution had seemed a distant dream. But now, he was closer than ever!
"Feels good..."
He stretched lazily, feeling that after every soul absorption, his body became incredibly clear, with all the hidden injuries and ailments healed. His entire body was adjusted to its most comfortable state, which became quite addictive.
Then, Sterl focused intently on his soul, carefully feeling every change and sensation within it.
Recently, Sterl had noticed that whenever he absorbed soul power, although he would experience intense soul backlash that would cause his soul to suffer wounds, even breaking, tearing, and even erasing parts of it, there seemed to be a subtle increase in his soul's resilience after the absorption and recovery.
Especially in these last two instances, after absorbing a large amount of soul power and facing a severe backlash, the feeling had become much clearer.
To be precise, he had experienced a similar sensation the first time he suffered a soul backlash.
However, that feeling had been too faint, and Sterl hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. Now, with the time available, he was able to carefully investigate it further.
"Yes... my soul's resilience has indeed improved, and it seems to have gained some kind of mysterious property?"
Sterl raised an eyebrow, speaking with some confusion.
But this property was extremely subtle, and Sterl couldn't fully analyze it. He could only vaguely sense that it had to do with resilience and resistance.
"So... enduring soul backlash and having my soul repeatedly shattered and healed actually has benefits?"
He muttered to himself, activating his Dimension Perception ability through the Star-Bone Sacred Body.
This ability, aside from predicting danger, also had something akin to divination, with the ability to turn misfortune into fortune and foresee good and bad events.
Soon, a faint, strange sensation flowed into his mind. Sterl paused for a moment, and from this sensation, he realized that his guess was almost certainly correct!
Moreover, it seemed very important to him.
His eyes narrowed slightly. "Looks like I'll have to keep enduring the backlash for a while..."
Although this behavior might seem insane, considering the pain of soul backlash was far from light—almost as if it were designed to destroy one's mind—Sterl was willing to keep trying, as long as it made him stronger. He even considered turning it into a habit.
After all, this could very well be a necessary quality for becoming an ultimate powerhouse.
After all of this, Sterl put away the Soul Devourer Sphere. The accumulated resources were all used up, but the results were still quite rewarding.
All ten of the mother bodies had been upgraded, and his strength had expanded another level, bringing him even closer to cheat evolution!
Everything was progressing in a positive direction.
Moreover, the mother body puppets were continuously producing more souls and soul power for him. The road ahead seemed wide open, with no obstacles in sight!
