After clearing out the metropolis, Su Yao and her family returned to their temporary base to rest. Su Yao held the newly acquired powerful crystal core in her hand and began to delve into the secrets of how the crystal core enhanced her abilities, using the system as a tool.
After a detailed analysis, Su Yao discovered a subtle point of convergence between the energy patterns within the crystal core and the supernatural energy pathways in the human body. If the energy of the crystal core could be precisely guided to flow along these pathways, it would not only enhance the level of one's supernatural abilities but might also awaken a completely new domain of supernatural power.
Su Yao decided to first attempt to break through her ice-type superpower. She entered a meditative state, placed the crystal core in front of her forehead, and slowly guided its energy into her body. Initially, the crystal core's energy surged like a raging tide, crashing through her superpower meridians and causing a sharp pain. But with her unwavering will, Su Yao gradually tamed this energy, guiding it along the path planned by the system.
As the energy penetrated deeper, a crystal-clear ice domain began to condense around Su Yao's body. Within this domain, her control over ice-based abilities reached its peak; the speed and hardness of ice crystal formation increased several times over, and the temperature dropped to near absolute zero.
Seeing his daughter's breakthrough, Su Yao's father was eager to try it himself. He chose a crystal core suitable for strength-based abilities and, with Su Yao and his wife's protection, began to fuse with it. Under the infusion of the crystal core's energy, his power shield underwent an astonishing transformation. What was originally just a shield surrounding his body could now expand into a vast power domain. Within this domain, his power was amplified several times over, and he could absorb the enemy's attacks and convert them into his own power source.
The mother focused on enhancing her healing abilities. After fusing with the crystal core, her life reversal ability awakened. Within this realm, she could not only heal injuries and illnesses, but also provide continuous life restoration to allies within range, and even gradually purify areas corrupted by dark forces, restoring them to life.
“Now that we all possess the power of domains, it’s time to launch a full-scale attack on the nests of those even more powerful mutated creatures,” Su Yao said with a determined look in her eyes.
They located a nest of mutated plants and animals deep in the mountains. The place was shrouded in a thick, dark fog, and the surrounding trees were twisted and deformed, covered with sharp thorns and flower buds that emitted poisonous mist.
As soon as they approached the nest, a flock of mutated birds swooped down like a rain of black arrows. These birds had feathers as hard as iron, beaks as sharp as hooks, and could spew corrosive liquid. Su Yao swiftly deployed her Ice Domain, trapping the birds within. Within the domain, ice shards automatically formed, instantly piercing through numerous birds.
However, the mutated creatures in the lair sensed the danger, and a gigantic vine monster emerged from the ground. The vine monster's vines were incredibly thick, covered with enormous suckers capable of draining the energy and life force of surrounding creatures.
Without hesitation, the father activated his power domain and charged towards the vine monster. Each of his attacks was imbued with powerful energy, severing the monster's vines one by one. However, the vine monster possessed an extremely strong regenerative ability, and the severed vines quickly grew back.
The mother used her Life Reversal Domain to replenish the father's life force and weaken the vine monster's regenerative abilities. Su Yao, meanwhile, condensed a giant ice sword within her Ice Domain, incorporating wind and fire elemental powers to create a Flame Wind Ice Sword.
Su Yao charged into the battle, wielding the Flaming Ice Sword, and worked closely with her father. She used the coldness of the ice sword and the heat of the flames to inflict double damage on the vine monster, while simultaneously severing the key vines that transmitted its energy.
After a fierce battle, they finally found the core of the vine monster. Su Yao thrust her sword into the core, and with a painful roar, the vine monster collapsed.
From the core of the vine monster, Su Yao obtained a special crystal core that emitted a seven-colored light. The energy fluctuations of this crystal core were extremely complex, seemingly containing the secret to unlocking higher-level supernatural abilities.
“This crystal core will definitely allow our abilities to take another qualitative leap, but we also need to be more cautious in exploring and fusing it,” Su Yao said.
Carrying the special crystal core and the fruits of their victory, they returned to their temporary base, ready to embark on the next round of even more challenging adventures and explorations. Su Yao also knew that as their exploration of crystal cores and superpowers deepened, they were one step closer to their goal of completely reshaping this post-apocalyptic world.
