Background
Origin Power first appears as a numerical field on the Crimson Modifier interface. Yan Kui initially receives no response when asking how to obtain it, treating the modifier as a rigid tool until its acquisition prompt appears 1.
It becomes the foundation of Yan Kui's extreme body-cultivation path. Rather than relying on ordinary training time, he converts life essence and high-energy materials into immediate technique upgrades, limit breaks, and large-scale technique fusions 3 32 49.
Abilities & Functions

Technique Enhancement

- It initiates and advances Savage Boar Ramming Technique through Great Accomplishment for a total of 7.0 Origin Power 22.
- It can cultivate movement arts such as Spirit Snake Steps, including a 3.0-Origin-Power initial cultivation cost and a 5.0-Origin-Power advancement to Minor Accomplishment 39 40.
Limit Breaking and Fusion
After a technique reaches its upper stage, Origin Power can force a limit break or merge multiple techniques into a superior art.
- Breaking Raging Bull Fist's limit costs 5.0 Origin Power and grants Brute Bull Strength and Savage Charge 15.
- Fusing five hard-body techniques with the Heaven Shaking Sect bone fragment costs an estimated 50.0 Origin Power and produces Crimson Extreme Golden Body 32.
- An initial fusion can stall when Origin Power reaches zero; Yan Kui completes his second-stage fusion only after acquiring more power from a slain cultivator 42.
- The Heaven Shaking God-Demon Record · Third Layer Fragment requires 20.0 Origin Power for Novice, 36.0 for Minor Accomplishment, and 50.0 for Major Accomplishment 49.
Detection
The Crimson Modifier identifies high-energy objects and can display their potential Origin Power yield.
- It detects the Corpse Origin Stone in Zhao Family's treasure vault and identifies its 3.0-Origin-Power value 15.
- It identifies the Heaven Shaking Sect bone fragment as a high-dimensional energy carrier suitable for technique fusion 29 32.
- Yan Kui uses this detection ability to locate valuable materials in Tianwu City's Black Market 28.
Essence Plunder
Unlocked after Lei Ao's death, Essence Plunder analyzes high-level creature corpses and extracts bloodline essence or talent traits.
- Extracted essence may be converted into Origin Power or grant the host corresponding traits or resistances 27.
- Lei Ao's Thunder Rhinoceros Bloodline Essence is plundered and devoured after the function activates 27.
- Ink Flood Dragon Essence Blood grants Yan Kui the Corrosion trait while also providing Origin Power 29.
Limitations
- Origin Power must be acquired before the Modifier can perform upgrades or fusions; Yan Kui begins with none 1.
- Enhancements consume the stored reserve immediately, potentially leaving Yan Kui with little or no remaining power 3 9.
- Major fusion processes can fail to complete when the reserve is insufficient, as seen when the Crimson Extreme Golden Body fusion stalls at 85% 42.
- The Modifier does not provide independent guidance beyond its prompts and functions 1.
Relationships
- Yan Kui — Primary host and user. He treats Origin Power as the essential resource for survival, physical cultivation, and acquiring power through battle 1 25.
- Crimson Modifier — Origin Power is the Modifier's central enhancement resource, funding upgrades, detection, essence extraction, limit breaks, and technique fusion 1 27 32.
- Life essence and high-energy materials — Its two documented sources; cultivators and powerful supernatural beings generally provide far greater returns than ordinary mortals 1 17 47.
