Chapter 366: Chapter 214: Capable of Threatening Morning Star Level! (Part 3)

Through this system, he could extract useful energy and traits from abyssal materials, while filtering out harmful contaminants and unstable factors, much like refining pure metals from ore.

"Let’s start with the lower-risk bone fragments first." Ron put on gloves and carefully took out a piece of crystallized bone.

This wasn’t his first time handling abyssal materials, but each time he needed to remain highly vigilant.

The unpredictability of abyssal energy is one of its most dangerous traits.

Under the light, the bone fragment appeared semi-transparent blue-purple, with complex crystal structures flowing slowly inside, pulsating as if alive.

Placing the bone fragment into the energy extractor, Ron activated the device.

The device emitted a faint humming sound, and a blue energy beam began to slowly scan the surface of the bone fragment.

As the scan proceeded, a faint purple energy was extracted, flowing through the glass tubes before finally being guided into the separator.

The way this energy flowed was quite peculiar, not simply flowing like ordinary liquid but rather exhibiting a pulsating pattern, as if possessing some faint consciousness.

"Abyssal energy indeed fundamentally differs from ordinary energy," Ron remarked, observing the energy flow in the tube:

"It’s not just a form of energy, but more like something between matter and energy, even carrying a certain ’consciousness’. The ’solidified twisted fragments’ mentioned in the Abyssal Creatures Atlas is indeed an appropriate description."

In the separator, abyssal energy was further filtered.

The parts with strong corrosive and unstable traits were separated out and stored in a special sealed container;

While the relatively stable and usable parts were guided into the stabilization device.

The functioning principle of the separator was similar to a complex chemical filtration system, but dealing with different energy states instead of ordinary material.

Every filtration layer was composed of different energy barriers, allowing only energies of specific wavelengths and frequencies to pass through.

This design was the innovative result of Ron combining alchemy, magic potion making, and elemental theory.

The stabilization device, however, was more intricate.

It employed a series of energy tuners to readjust the separated energy into a more harmonious state, reducing its volatility and tendency for spontaneous change.

After processing the bone fragments, Ron proceeded to deal with the molting essence and plant seeds in turn.

Finally, it came time for the sample from the Swamp Assembler, which was the most dangerous kind.

Ron specifically activated the lab’s extra protective barriers for this.

Using specially-made tongs, he carefully extracted the active tissue and placed it into a larger processing tank.

The tissue immediately began to wriggle violently, as if sensing danger.

Its surface revealed blurry faces, emitting weak murmurs that sounded like some sort of plea or threat.

Ron ignored these anomalies and activated the energy extractor at maximum power.

A powerful energy beam shot directly into the center of the tissue, more intense than when processing the previous materials.

The tissue emitted an indescribable screech, twisting violently, trying to escape.

This sound was not transmitted through the air but resonated directly in Ron’s spirit, making him feel a bit of discomfort.

"Interesting, even such a small piece of tissue retains complete survival instincts and escape responses."

Surprise flashed across Ron’s eyes:

"Such a level of autonomy is extremely rare in separated tissues. Perhaps this is one of the traits of abyssal creatures—each part maintains certain traits of the whole, even when disassembled."

As the energy extraction proceeded, the tissue gradually lost vitality, eventually becoming a gray-white solid mass.

The extracted energy, on the other hand, was a thick dark purple liquid, emitting a faint glow.

The way this liquid flowed was extremely bizarre, not adhering to gravity like ordinary liquids but seemingly having its own will, forming various abstract patterns within the container.

"This... especially dangerous."

Ron looked at the bottle of dark purple liquid with a grave expression: "It still retains some traits of the original organism and must undergo deeper processing."

He placed this bottle of liquid into a special alchemy device and added several stabilizers.

These stabilizers were specifically proportioned elemental mixtures capable of slowing the fluctuations of abyssal energy, making it more stable.

The device operated for nearly half an hour, emitting various strange sounds and light effects, ultimately producing a small bottle of transparent pale purple liquid.

"Basically safe now." Ron breathed a sigh of relief and arranged the four bottles of processed liquids in order on the workbench.

Each emitted a different glow—the bone extract emitted a cold blue light;

The molting essence was light green, with a certain metallic texture;

The plant seed extract was a warm golden yellow;

And the essence of the Swamp Assembler was a transparent pale purple.

However, when viewed from certain angles, it seemed as if tiny particles were swimming inside, like a swarm of microscopic organisms swimming in some unknown liquid.

"Now, it’s time to witness a miracle."

Ron took a deep breath, took out the stand-in puppet, and gently placed it at the center of these four bottles of abyssal essence.

Then, he took out a fifth bottle of liquid from a specially made insulated container—this was the "Monarch Bloodline" sample obtained from Trish’s contact from Li Yue.

The blood appeared unusually vivid red.

Even after being set aside for some time, it still maintained an astounding vitality, as if it had just been drawn from a vein.
