At the top of the Dragon Bone Tower, beside the elemental pool.

Su Nan glanced at the hundred engraved gems lying in his spatial ring, a satisfied smile on his face.

So many engraved gems should be enough to deal with the lightning elemental giant.

Taking a deep breath, Su Nan opened a spatial passage and stepped into it.

After a momentary blur, he found himself in the lightning elemental space.

Dark, brooding clouds met his eyes, filling every corner of his vision.

Lightning bolts danced and crackled within the clouds, accompanied by thunderous booms. The dazzling brilliance of the lightning, tearing through the clouds, emanated a sense of primeval wilderness.

“No land in this lightning elemental space?”

The ground was also cloud. Luckily, Su Nan had cast a levitation spell before entering, so he wasn’t caught off guard and fell.

Without hesitation, he opened the spatial passage again and retreated.

Fighting in an element space like this, where the clouds filled the entire view, presented too many uncertainties. It wasn’t the best option.

Since he could change the entry point endlessly, and the cost was only a few gems, Su Nan could afford it.

He continued entering several more times. The elemental spaces were either harsh environments or had too high of an energy particle concentration, and he abandoned them without hesitation.

On his fifth attempt, he finally arrived at an elemental space similar to the previous one.

He cast a “Elemental Energy Shield” on himself and activated the “Forbidden Zone” before flying into the depths of the elemental space.

His target was the elemental giant, which usually lurked in the depths of the elemental space.

Su Nan didn’t stop along the way. He ignored any elemental spirits that tried to attack him, using his speed to quickly leave them behind.

As he ventured deeper, the concentration of energy particles in the air became increasingly thick.

Suddenly, Su Nan’s expression shifted as he looked toward the right front, seeing a blurry humanoid creature, roughly ten meters tall and covered in dense electric arcs, charging towards him at incredible speed.

“Elemental Giant!”

Su Nan was not afraid but excited.

Finally, he had found his target.

Without hesitation, he threw out an engraved gem.

Considering that lightning energy particles wouldn’t harm the lightning elemental giant, and might even become a source of nourishment for it, the latest batch of engraved gems Su Nan made contained no “Lightning Burst” at all. They were all “Blazing Inferno,” “Freezing Chill,” “Abyssal Darkness,” and “Gale Force,” etc.

As the engraved gem emitted blinding brilliance, an extreme chill exploded outwards, aiming at the lightning elemental giant’s head.

In an instant, the lightning elemental giant’s body was covered in a layer of white frost, extinguishing many of the electric arcs on its surface.

While the lightning elemental giant was momentarily slowed, Su Nan threw out two more engraved gems, “Blazing Inferno” and “Gale Force,” turning them into flames and gale winds to engulf the lightning elemental giant. At the same time, liquid metal surged out, transforming into a powerful silver giant in the blink of an eye, charging towards the opponent with unstoppable might.

Taken off guard by the engraved gems, and before it had recovered, the silver giant smashed its fist into the lightning elemental giant’s head.

The lightning elemental giant’s incorporeal form could withstand any physical attack, but not the elemental energy infused liquid metal. It was knocked off balance by the punch that came crashing down on it.

The lightning elemental giant was already extremely volatile, and now, having suffered a surprise attack, it roared in anger, swinging its fists at the silver giant.

Both the lightning elemental giant and Su Nan were at the level of Wizards, yet their fighting styles were primitive and brutal.

They met force with force, hard attack with hard defense. Although both were fighting barehanded, the clash sounded like two heavy, armored copper men colliding, creating deafening roars.

Visible energy brilliance and violent shock waves surged out from the center of the clash, spreading out in all directions, distorting the void.

The ground beneath them was constantly cracking and disintegrating, turning into a massive crater in the blink of an eye.

After a brief exchange, Su Nan had a sense of the situation.

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t yet reached the core of the elemental space, the lightning elemental giant in front of him wasn’t exceptionally powerful compared to its peers. It was only equivalent to a First-Rank Vaporization Wizard who had just been promoted.

However, with the advantage of its home ground, its combat power had been enhanced to almost the level of a First-Rank Liquefaction Wizard.

Fortunately, it was still within his capabilities.

After gauging his opponent’s strength, Su Nan held nothing back. He controlled the silver giant to launch a ferocious attack, while also throwing out engraved gems without reservation.

As his spiritual condensation increased, the number of engraved gems he could synthesize had grown to twenty-two, their power roughly four times that of ordinary rune engravings.

This power was not to be underestimated, even by a formal Wizard.

As ten engraved gems were thrown one after another, the lightning elemental giant was completely bewildered.

Fierce flames, gales, and shadows rolled over it in succession. Within just four or five breaths, the dazzling electric light on the lightning elemental giant’s body visibly dimmed, and its robust form shrank by nearly half.

Su Nan took the opportunity to push forward, his attack becoming increasingly ferocious.

After ten minutes, with a reluctant roar, the lightning elemental giant’s body shattered, turning into countless light particles that dissipated into the air, leaving behind an irregular, egg-sized blue crystal that fell to the ground.

Su Nan stepped out from within the silver giant and caught the crystal with lightning reflexes.

Looking at the beautiful blue crystal in his palm, his face was filled with a joyful smile.

Elemental Core.

A crystalline body that concentrated abundant elemental energy, considered a higher-grade material than elemental crystal dust.

Only elemental creatures at the Elemental Giant level or higher possessed an elemental core.

However, this wasn’t the reason for Su Nan’s joy. What made him even happier was the divine energy contained within the elemental core.

After putting the elemental core into the Magic Cube, Su Nan quickly received detailed information.

“Six standard units of divine energy, a little on the low side.”

The Arachne Elves had eight standard units of divine energy each, but the elemental giant had less.

However, upon further reflection, Su Nan was relieved.

The Arachne Elves were created entirely from divine energy. The elemental giant, on the other hand, was a fusion of elemental energy and divine energy, with elemental energy taking up the majority. It was normal for it to have less divine energy in its body.

“Should be enough to increase my spiritual condensation by about 0.4%.”

Before, this amount of divine energy would have increased his spiritual condensation by 0.5% to 0.6%, but as his spiritual condensation grew higher, the difficulty of improvement increased accordingly.

Su Nan estimated that by the First-Rank Liquefaction stage, the amount of divine energy needed to increase his spiritual condensation by 1% would likely skyrocket to 50 or 60 standard units.

But for now, at least, the benefit a single elemental core brought him was still significant.

The entire battle cost eighteen engraved gems.

Su Nan calculated that the current cost of an engraved gem was around 5,800 gold coins, making eighteen gems just over 100,000 gold coins.

100,000 gold coins in exchange for a 0.4% increase in spiritual condensation, a pretty good deal overall.

The elemental space was rich in energy, and Su Nan quickly restored his spiritual power to its peak state, continuing his hunt.

He had no intention of venturing into the core area. Instead, he circled around the edge, searching for traces of the lightning elemental giant.

Before long, Su Nan found his target.

This time, he didn’t wait for the lightning elemental giant to attack, instead charging at it directly.

The battle erupted once again.

Two days later.

When Su Nan returned to the Dragon Bone Tower, his spatial ring contained three elemental cores.

The cost was over fifty engraved gems.

By the elemental pool, Su Nan sat down and began absorbing the divine energy contained in the elemental cores.

Elemental giants, as naturally occurring divine creatures, possessed inherently pure divine energy in their bodies. There was no contamination from faith, allowing for direct absorption and synthesis.

When all three elemental cores had turned into dust, Su Nan’s spiritual condensation had reached 76.06%.

Looking at the data on the panel, Su Nan was filled with overwhelming joy.

At this rate, he would soon break through to the First-Rank Liquefaction stage.

The only problem was that this method of advancement was extremely wasteful of engraved gems.

To break through to the First-Rank Liquefaction stage, he would need to invest at least six million gold coins in engraved gems.

Although the Star Alliance’s annual income had exceeded ten million gold coins, it was actually used in many areas.

Refining secret puppets, making crystal spirit potions, crafting Wizard artifacts, and the biggest expense, building Wizard Towers.

Suddenly taking out six million gold coins would put a significant strain on the Star Alliance’s cash flow.

“If only there was another way to hunt lightning elemental giants that was less costly.”

Su Nan pondered silently.

He knew he was being greedy, however.

Which First-Rank Vaporization Wizard could hunt lightning elemental giants in the lightning elemental space like he was doing?

Without some kind of background or means, an ordinary First-Rank Vaporization Wizard would be incinerated and reduced to ashes when facing a lightning elemental giant in the lightning elemental space.

Unless they were descendants of true spirits, with higher-level Wizards specifically collecting elemental cores for them to cultivate.

Shaking his head, Su Nan dismissed his unrealistic thoughts, his eyes falling on the dust that remained from the elemental core.

Although the divine energy had been absorbed, the elemental energy in the dust still remained, essentially becoming elemental crystal dust.

Wait!

A thought flashed through Su Nan’s mind like lightning.

Elemental giants were formed from elemental spirits advancing. During this process, the elemental crystal dust that formed within the elemental spirits gradually coalesced, eventually forming the elemental core.

It could be said that the process of elemental spirits evolving into elemental giants was essentially the process of elemental crystal dust turning into an elemental core.

Did this mean that he could synthesize elemental cores with elemental crystal dust, which contained divine energy?

Su Nan’s spirits immediately soared.

The possibility was quite high.

Like the blood of the Doom Bell Striker, its blood inherently contained special factors inherited from the divine creature, the Squealing Strange Insect. As long as these factors were activated, divine energy could be born.

It was the same with elemental spirits.

They likely also possessed a certain special factor. When the concentration of elemental energy reached a certain limit, causing a qualitative change from quantitative change, this factor could be activated, transforming them into elemental giants, while also giving birth to divine energy.

If his guess was right, he could use elemental crystal dust to synthesize elemental cores in the future!

Hunting elemental spirits was much easier than hunting elemental giants!

Snapping out of his thoughts, Su Nan immediately prepared to try it.

The elemental crystal dust he had obtained from the lightning elemental space some time ago was still neatly stored in his spatial ring. He immediately took it out and put it into the Magic Cube.

[Elemental Crystal Dust, Purity 28.35%, Contains Rich Lightning Elemental Energy, Can Be Used for Crafting Potions, Magic Items and Puppets, Also Can Be Used to Lay Down Formations.]

Su Nan continued his actions, putting more elemental crystal dust into the Magic Cube, while focusing on the synthesis interface.

The purity of the elemental crystal dust increased rapidly.

When it surpassed the 100% limit, the information on the synthesis interface finally changed.

[Elemental Core, Contains Enormous Lightning Elemental Energy, Also Contains a Trace of Pure Divine Energy (0.1 Standard Units), Can Be Used to Craft Potions, Magic Items and Puppets, Also Can Be Used to Lay Down Formations, Divine Energy Can Be Absorbed Directly, Increasing Spiritual Power.]

“It worked!”

Su Nan was overjoyed.

He could actually synthesize elemental cores with elemental crystal dust!

Although it only contained a meager 0.1 standard unit of divine energy, it was a success nonetheless.

He wasn’t worried about the quantity, as long as it wasn’t zero.

Even if it was just a tiny amount, he could synthesize it to increase it using the Magic Cube.

Taking a deep breath, Su Nan calmed his excitement, throwing the rest of the elemental crystal dust into the Magic Cube, ultimately synthesizing an elemental core containing 2 standard units of divine energy.

He then absorbed the divine energy within the core, his spiritual condensation increasing to 0.13% as expected.

The increase was small, but it filled Su Nan with excitement.

From now on, he wouldn’t have to risk his life and spend exorbitant amounts of gold to hunt elemental giants anymore. He could just hunt elemental spirits.

He had initially wanted to develop another channel for obtaining divine energy, but he had unexpectedly found a low-cost method for rapidly improving his spiritual condensation. Su Nan was in a fantastic mood at this moment.

His gaze fell upon the dust that remained from the elemental core, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Could these elemental crystal dust be reused?

If so,

Su Nan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately put all the dust into the Magic Cube.

However, to his disappointment, the elemental core synthesized this time did not contain divine energy.

“Is it because the special factor was absorbed along with the divine energy?”

After being disappointed, Su Nan quickly understood after a moment of thought.

Without the special factor, this elemental crystal dust naturally couldn’t activate divine energy anymore, leaving it to be used as ordinary materials.

He shook his head and quickly regained his composure.

Even though it was a pity, being able to find a way to synthesize elemental cores was already very good.

With this method, he could break through to the First-Rank Liquefaction stage in just two or three years.

This was significantly faster than his previous estimations.

“At this rate, I might be able to advance to a Second-Rank Wizard before the Plane Barrier is restored.”

Su Nan smiled.

Even in the vast and boundless multiverse, a Second-Rank Wizard could be considered a strong individual.

They could confront the “Dark Throne” or join other Wizard forces.

No Wizard faction would refuse the addition of a Second-Rank Wizard with a clean background.

Advancing to the Second-Rank Wizard stage and building a Wizard Tower.

Su Nan set his goals for the next seven hundred years.
