Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

That stems from the [Devour Evolution] characteristic, an instinctive thirst for higher-level energy.

His purpose in coming here was precisely this immortal blood.

With his current strength, the experience points required to level up have become an astronomical figure.

Conventional hunting methods are too inefficient.

The newly added talent trait, [Devour Evolution], grants him the ability to devour special substances or flesh containing high energy, absorb their properties, and permanently strengthen his own physique.

Coincidentally, the immortal blood before him was the highest-level "high-energy special substance" that Su Hui had encountered so far.

If he can successfully devour even a small portion, his strength will inevitably experience a qualitative leap.

However, Su Hui did not act rashly.

He was well aware that opportunities often come with risks.

This was, after all, the blood left behind by a fifth-order immortal being. Even if it was just a fragment of law, the will and power contained within it were far beyond what he could easily contend with now.

Anyone else would likely be instantly overwhelmed by the terrifying will remaining in this blood the moment they came into contact with it, reduced to a soulless shell, or even assimilated by it.

Fortunately, he still has his greatest asset.

Only with the synthesis system in place did Su Hui dare to try to absorb the enormous energy within it.

Su Hui sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mental energy to adjust his state.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again.

His eyes were now as still as a deep well.

He raised his right hand, palm facing the tranquil, mirror-like dark golden blood lake.

Su Hui's gaze was incredibly focused, his mental energy completely immersed in manipulating [Power Control].

An invisible energy emanated from his palm, like an unseen hand cautiously probing into the blood lake that contained terrifying power.

The entire underground cavern was completely silent, save for Su Hui's steady breathing.

The process was more difficult than expected.

That immortal will, even in its broken fragments, still carries an absolute repulsive force originating from a higher-level life form, resisting interference from all external forces.

Su Hui's mental energy was highly concentrated, and even a fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

at last,

hum.

A barely audible tremor.

A barely perceptible ripple spread across the calm, dark golden lake surface.

A drop of dark golden liquid, as if breaking free from some incredibly heavy gravitational force, slowly rose from the pool of blood.

It hovered above Su Hui's palm, spinning quietly.

This drop of blood was not large, only the size of a fingernail, yet it seemed to contain the weight of a star, even slightly distorting the surrounding light due to its gravity.

Within the deep, dark gold hue, countless tiny, star-like lights could be faintly seen rising and falling, exuding an ancient and immortal aura that stirred the soul.

[Scanning for target...]

[Target: Immortal Blood (one drop)]

[Rank: Fifth Tier - Immortal (Fragment)]

[Status: Contains a trace amount of fragmented immortal laws, with a mass approximately 97 times that of an equal volume of mercury. The energy structure is extremely condensed, and the slightly cool will contained within has been suppressed by the host's mental power. The current intensity of the energy reaction is within an absorbable range.]

The system notification sounded in his mind, confirming Su Hui's judgment.

It can be absorbed.

Su Hui's eyes showed no hesitation.

He opened his mouth, and the heavy, dark golden blood obediently flew into it.

The blood entered my mouth, but instead of the expected sweet and pungent taste, it had a cool, metallic feel.

Available in the next second.

boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying energy, like a volcano dormant for millions of years, erupted within him.

It was neither hot nor cold, but a pure, destructive torrent of energy.

His internal organs felt as if they had been thrown into a furnace that melts stars, and he instantly felt the excruciating pain of being torn apart, burned, and crushed.

Each blood vessel seemed to contain molten gold rushing and roaring within, clearly reflecting his blood vessels and meridians.

Every cell, under the impact of this domineering and unparalleled energy, emitted painful cries and was on the verge of collapse.

Su Hui's body trembled violently, veins bulged on his forehead, and muscles bulged uncontrollably, causing his clothes to flutter loudly.

He clenched his teeth so tightly that he didn't even let out a muffled groan.

The formidable physique of the Overlord was unleashed to its fullest extent at this moment, frantically suppressing and absorbing this terrifying foreign energy.

The [Devour Evolution] characteristic, like a greedy vortex, began to frantically tear, decompose, and digest the power contained in this drop of immortal blood.

This is an extremely painful and lengthy process.

Every second felt like an eternity of torture amidst mountains of knives and seas of fire.

He felt like his body was a balloon about to burst, or a furnace being repeatedly tempered.

His consciousness surged and ebbed in waves of pain, nearly overwhelmed, yet was pulled back by his powerful will.

I don't know how much time passed before the searing pain that burned my soul slowly subsided.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of fullness and power.

[Ding! You have successfully devoured 'Immortal Blood (Remnant)', and your talent 'Devour Evolution' trait has been activated.]

You have gained 50000 experience points.

[Your body has absorbed a trace amount of immortality properties, and your physique has received a permanent, slight enhancement!]

A series of system notification sounds, like heavenly music.

Su Hui slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of dark golden light flashed and disappeared in the depths of his eyes.

He succeeded.

This method is feasible.

A barely suppressed smile appeared on Su Hui's lips.

Although the process was far more dangerous than imagined, the rewards were equally amazing.

Just one drop of blood provided 50,000 experience points.

Before him lay a pool of blood containing countless drops of immortal blood.

This blood lake, which is the size of a football field, is an inexhaustible treasure trove of experience for him.

In the days leading up to Merlin's arrival, he could have used the Immortal Blood to further enhance his strength.

Su Hui did not rush things. He closed his eyes again and carefully experienced the subtle changes in his body after absorbing that power.

The life energy within the body becomes more condensed and heavier.

Even the oppressive aura emanating from the [Overlord's Body] carried a faint, ancient, and desolate aura originating from the blood of immortality.

After resting for a while, and waiting for my body to fully adapt.

Su Hui reached out his hand again, activating the power of [Power Control].

Another drop of [Immortal Blood] flew out, the dark golden blood entering his mouth.

The familiar energy surge swept through my body once again.

Having learned from his first experience, Su Hui was noticeably more composed in dealing with the situation.

He was like the most greedy glutton, tirelessly repeating the process of devouring and absorbing time and time again.

Three drops.

Five drops.

Ten drops.

In the underground cavity, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Only Su Hui's figure remained, like an unchanging ancient sculpture, sitting cross-legged on the edge of that dark golden blood lake.

As he absorbed more and more immortal blood, his body began to undergo a strange transformation.

His skin had a faint metallic sheen.

Her originally jet-black hair now had a faint hint of dark gold at the ends.

at last.

After countless attempts to devour [the creature], it was discovered that this process had been repeated.

When Su Hui awoke once again from that extreme pain and the sublimation of power, he felt an unprecedented sense of fullness.

Like a glutton who has reached its limit, its stomach can no longer hold anything.

He knew that he had temporarily reached the limit of his devouring capacity.

Su Hui slowly stood up and stretched his body.

His bones emitted a series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds, and an aura several times stronger than before uncontrollably spread from his body.

The air around him seemed to groan under its own weight, and tiny ripples appeared out of thin air.

He subconsciously walked towards the edge of the blood lake, wanting to see his own changes through the dark golden reflection on the lake surface.

His handsome, aloof face was still reflected in the lake.

His originally deep black eyes were now tinged with an indelible dark gold at the deepest part of his pupils, intertwining with the azure blue of his soul-slaying technique, making him appear both majestic and sinister.

It was as if molten gold had been injected into his pupils.

Su Hui could feel that his body had reached a state of saturation for a short period of time.

If it continues to devour, it will no longer be a strengthening process, but rather it will be assimilated by the immortal will remaining in the blood, causing irreversible damage.

He opened the system panel.

Name: Su Hui

[Level: 42 (87516/180000)]

[Warning! Due to absorbing an excessive amount of high-level energy in a short period of time, the body is experiencing an 'unstable assimilation' phenomenon.]

[State: Unstable Assimilation]

[Note: The dissipated high-level energy is impacting your body and mind. Due to the host's sufficiently powerful soul essence, this state is a temporary negative state. It can be alleviated through high-intensity combat, energy release, or prolonged sleep. Otherwise, it may cause permanent damage to the body.]

He was promoted two ranks in just one day.

Such speed, if it were to get out, would be enough to horrify anyone.

But this terrifying improvement also came at a price.

Su Hui took a deep breath, trying to control the aura emanating from his body and calm his boiling blood that was about to burst into flames.

He was highly excited, his mind was working at an astonishing speed, but his emotions were like a bowstring stretched to its limit, needing an outlet.

Su Hui slowly stood up.

A hint of amusement and fervor flashed in his golden eyes.

Is it for catharsis?

Two alluring figures instantly flashed into his mind.

One was Ava's mature and charming appearance, her eyes full of allure.

The other was Robin's graceful figure, which exuded both intellect and shyness, yet possessed entirely new abilities.

He now desperately needs a perfect "container" to contain his overflowing power.
