Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 473: Crystal Core Formation

As the final stroke completed, the entire bloodline imprint suddenly lit up with a dark red glow, then sank deeply into the structure of the crystal core like a living being, becoming completely integrated with it.

At that moment, a mutation occurred.

The dark attribute energy, which had been separated and relatively pure, seemed to be summoned by the bloodline imprint and obediently, without any hindrance, automatically flowed into the framework structure of the crystal core, perfectly filling the part belonging to the dark area. It merged seamlessly with the other five attribute energies, without the slightest conflict remaining.

When the energy framework, with the Light Divine Status as the sun, the four attribute energies as planets, and the Dark Race bloodline as the outer imprint, was completely stabilized, Duke knew that the most crucial and difficult step had arrived.

He needed to compress and solidify his own liquid spiritual power, condensing it into an unprecedented six-series composite crystal core.

At this moment, his spiritual sea seemed like an endless, shimmering silver ocean — the sea of liquid spiritual power transformed from his 150 points of spiritual power.

And the newly constructed energy framework seemed like a magnificent and complex three-dimensional structure suspended over this ocean.

Duke let out a low roar in his mind, and a powerful will like an invisible giant hand began to exert unimaginable pressure on the entire liquid spiritual ocean.

Initially, this process was like trying to press a large pool of mercury into a solid with one’s palm, exceedingly difficult.

The liquid surface began to slowly lower under the invisible pressure, the density of spiritual power continuously increasing, gradually becoming viscous.

Waves rose tumultuously within the spiritual sea, a natural resistance born from the forced compression of spiritual power.

The light of the Soul Soothing Holy Contract steadily stabilized the boundary of the spiritual sea, preventing it from collapsing due to internal pressure.

Duke felt as if his consciousness was also bearing an immense burden, but he held firm, consistently and steadily exerting his compressive will.

This process was extremely painful, with severe pain emanating from the depths of his mind.

Even with Duke’s willpower, it was somewhat unbearable, forcing him to drink two vials of the prepared magic potion in succession.

While stabilizing the spiritual power in his mind, it also slightly alleviated his pain.

The energy framework suspended above the spiritual power sea now played a crucial role, beginning to actively attract and guide the compressed, high-density liquid spiritual power below, like a magnet attracting iron filings.

The liquid spiritual power was no longer being compressed chaotically but began to gather and fill along the trajectory and structure set by the energy framework.

This process greatly improved the efficiency of compression and the utilization rate of spiritual power. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As massive amounts of liquid spiritual power were frantically extracted and compressed, a crystal embryo, extremely small yet emitting a substantial glow, finally appeared at the center of the energy framework where the Light Divine Status was located.

This was no longer liquid but solid state.

This marked a critical qualitative change. The instant the crystal core embryo appeared, it seemed to generate a kind of gravitational singularity, suddenly increasing the attraction force on the remaining liquid spiritual power, turning the compression process from passive squeezing to active siphoning.

Duke’s pressure was significantly relieved, but he dared not relax in the slightest, instead becoming more focused on controlling the stability of the energy framework, guiding this final infusion.

The crystal core embryo grew and enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye, its internal structure becoming clearer and more complex under the blueprint of the energy framework and the joint action of six attribute forces.

It was no longer a uniform crystal but naturally formed six vague areas, each corresponding to the traits of the six attributes, unified at the core perfectly by the power of the Light Divine Status.

The crystal core emitted a resounding chime upon final formation, stably and powerfully rotating slowly in the center of the spiritual sea.

It no longer absorbed external forces but began to slowly and spontaneously absorb energy from the void, nurturing itself and Duke’s spiritual power.

Duke felt the crystal core in his mind, containing infinite power and potential, a sense of unprecedented strength, control, and soul-level sublimation filling his body.

This was a spiritual power crystal completely different from any other crystalized wizard’s.

Its core was still dominated by the white hue of the Light Divine Status, with other energy colors constantly flowing on its surface.

But deep within the crystal core, there seemed to be an indescribable vitality, with occasional, almost imperceptible dark red lines flowing on the surface, exuding a restrained, ancient bloodline-born awe.

A powerful spiritual power wave far exceeding that of ordinary crystalized wizards, mixed with the breath of light, elements, and secret bloodline, erupted from his body, firmly contained within by the laboratory’s barriers.

Duke opened his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, there appeared to be six colors of light swirling, with a profound dark red hidden at the deepest level.

He could feel his crystal core was strong and stable, and it had formed a mysterious connection with the Dark Race bloodline, potentially allowing him to discover unexpected abilities in the future.

The most dangerous stage had already passed, but the ascension process was not yet completely finished.

At this moment, his spiritual sea was like a newborn continent that had just undergone a drastic geological transformation. Although the main structure had already formed, it was still filled with unstable energy turbulence and wrinkles that needed smoothing out.

Any negligence could diminish the hard-earned achievement.

Duke did not immediately relax but focused his consciousness on the crystal core, as if soothing a newly born life.

He cautiously guided the speed of the crystal core’s rotation and the intensity of energy absorption, transitioning it from a state of violent devouring to a steady breathing rhythm.

The light emitted by the crystal core became gentle and steady, no longer flickering unpredictably.

It began to gently and continuously nourish the dry spiritual sea with pure spiritual power.

As the crystal core steadily output energy, the spiritual sea, originally empty and desolate because all liquid spiritual power had been drained, began to regain vitality.

The new spiritual power was no longer liquid but carried a hint of crystalline traits, more condensed and lustrous.

They flowed like trickling streams, then united into creeks, ultimately forming a calm and vast silver spiritual ocean once more.

But this new ocean was entirely different from before. It was more solid, the surface smooth like a mirror, reflecting the six-colored radiance of the crystal core in its depths, filled with boundless potential.

Duke patiently guided this newly born spiritual power ocean, smoothing out the last ripple, allowing it to settle completely.

When the spiritual sea was utterly calm and energy circulation unimpeded, Duke began the final introspection.

His gaze swept over this new world that belonged to him, with the center being a six-series crystal core slowly rotating like a sun, surrounded by a calm yet terrifyingly powerful silver spiritual sea, where specific colors of glow occasionally appeared on the surface due to the flow of different attribute energies.
