Source Essence Circulation Technique

"..."

After some friendly intervention, the Insect Mother's compound eyes flickered, and it "saw" the space around it completely sealed off by an invisible force field. Feeling the terrifying pressure on its head that could crush it at any moment, it finally chose to Sacrifice itself.

A sorrowful yet resolute spiritual wave slowly spread out. It actively guided the enormous and astonishing life energy and soul Origin, surging towards a special organ deep within, which was in a dormant state.

At the same time, it began to Burn its own carapace, flesh, and even the non-core parts of its current soul, transforming these into the purest power and injecting it into a special insect egg that carried its genetic imprint and some fragments of memory.

Su Luo slowly withdrew her hand from the Insect Mother's head, stood with her hands behind her back, and leisurely observed the dramatic changes taking place before her.

The Insect Mother's enormous body, like Tower whose foundation has been removed, began to rapidly disintegrate and wither from the point where its head collapsed.

The once glossy carapace lost its color, becoming gray and brittle; the once abundant flesh shrank and shriveled, as if it had been dried out for a thousand years in an instant; the surging life force rapidly declined, replaced by a contradictory rhythm of decay and New Life.

And there's Soul Migration Technique, that's impressive.

While recording the various data generated by the synergy between the Nirvana and Sacrifice skills, Su Luo glanced at the Survival Panel that had quietly appeared at the edge of her field of vision.

[Su Luo: Alive]

[Age: 22]

[Level: 8]

[Strength: 22 (↑2.0)]

[Spirit: 24 (↑1.0)(↑0.8)]

[Constitution: 23.2 (↑1.1)]

[Mana: 55 (↑3)]

The clear data on the Attribute panel confirms the major breakthrough he has just achieved.

After returning to the Land of Darkness, he utilized the knowledge he gained from the Yuncang World, his vast experience, and a deeper understanding of the Essence energy to successfully create and inscribe his own purple-quality Attribute Growth skill—[Source Essence Circulation Technique].

As for leveling up, Su Luo leveled up by deliberately killing a monster after completing the skill inscription.

It's convenient for me to go out and find monsters to bully...

No, we need to find experimental materials.

[Source Essence Circulation Technique (Purple) Level 7]

Although it's only the initial version, it's already enough for the system to recognize it as a purple- Attribute skill.

The new path still features Cycle energy. Su Luo combines the three Cycles of the original spiritual world with the two Cycles of the body, unifying them into Inner Circulation, or Inner Circulation, as her true Attribute growth.

However, unlike the previous complex energies such as Mana, Divine Power, various elements, and Blood Qi Cycle throughout her body, Su Luo instead refined a new basic energy unit—[Source Essence]—synthesized under extreme conditions, possessing high plasticity and load-bearing capacity.

The elements on the Mana Side are like a large frame; you can put anything into it, just look at the Aberrant Elements.

The Essence of elements is Mana in different forms. Su Luo created a new Mana by mixing several almost unrelated energies under extreme high temperature and pressure. Under normal conditions, it is transparent.

Under special conditions, it can be transformed into several types of energy that Su Luo needs, or it can be synthesized from several types of energy. It is an element that is much more complex than Natural Elements, Dark Elements, and other complex elements.

Su Luo's Inner Circulation is like a miniature high-energy particle collision network and precision chemical plant built within her body. It will absorb most of the energy in her body, forcibly disassemble and purify it through an extremely complex Cycle, and finally transform it into the most basic [Source Essence] for storage.

Then, depending on the needs, the [Source Essence] can be reverse-converted into any desired element or pure Mana, which solves the problem of free conversion. The improvement in elemental affinity stems from the understanding and mastery of the underlying energy structure.

In short, Su Luo implemented the aforementioned "rapid reversal" transformation system into himself, at the cost of possessing an extremely compressed high-energy Cycle within his body, which might explode.

Now he can directly recharge his mana, recharge his mana by Sun... and even recharge his mana when other people's Spells hit Su Luo.

It's not just about mana regeneration; to explain Su Luo's current state using game mechanics, her mana bar is strongly correlated with her health bar, and also strongly correlated with her stamina...

At the same time, the [Source Essence Circulation Technique] not only has an Inner Circulation part, but also an Outer Circulation part.

The Outer Circulation is mainly a combat application system that efficiently outputs the [Source Essence] within the body and interferes with the external environment. The giant hand that was just pressed on the head of the Mutated Insect Queen was one of the functions of the Outer Circulation.

Su Luo shifted her gaze from the panel and refocused on the Insect Mother who was undergoing "Nirvana":

"The next step is to integrate the essence of 'Spell Permanence Technique' more deeply into the Cycle system, especially the instant Spell construction part of the Outer Circulation. The stability and conversion efficiency of the Inner Circulation must also be iteratively strengthened through more refined Spell arrays."

Then, his gaze lingered briefly on a newly added Title on the panel:

We Are Pioneers!!

[You are Survivor World No. 9527 to obtain a purple- Attribute skill (the top ten survivors can obtain this Title)]

[Title Effect: Purple Skill level cap +1, all Attributes +6%, inspiration +3%]

This Title has a pretty strong effect; it even provides an inspiration boost.

When she obtained it, Su Luo ignored the first effect and focused on the last one, changing the Title combination configuration and using "[We Are Pioneers!!]" as a permanent Title.

On the sixty-fourth day of survival, the sixth Monster Tide in the Land of Darkness has ended. For most areas, this also marks the eighth wave of the basic Monster Tide wave cycle.

This time, many, many people died.

Death is no longer the topic of conversation among survivors; it has become the rusty smell permeating the nostrils of every still-breathing Survivor, the silent graveyard composed of vast gray avatars in the channel list, and the "emptiness" that has fallen silent overnight in many areas.

Many underdeveloped areas have become Dead Zones, and many slowly developing Survivors have died at the hands of monsters that seem extremely weak to powerful professionals.

The remaining people were somewhat numb, no longer mourning and grieving as before, no longer feeling sorrow for the passing of strangers, no longer Ignite virtual candles in the channel, and no longer writing long eulogies.

Perhaps most of those who mourned and grieved before perished in this Monster Tide.

A kind of almost instinctive numbness and the coldness of extreme reality began to settle into the underlying character of the group.

Russia literature suddenly began to gain widespread popularity throughout the world.

Cold, melancholy, suffering, and an unseen Future...
