Beneath the Demon Sea, above the Darkness, thin grayish-black clouds of smoke slowly rose.
These smoky clouds, comprised of various Alien Powers, contained the arid scent of sulfuric magma, toxins that could corrode flesh, and powers of destruction and devastation.
This was what they called Filth Alien Power.
Pang Jian had drawn it into his dantian; after it emerged from the Darkness, it began to ascend, being refined and concentrated by his will, eventually solidifying into a crystal the size of a fingernail.
If nature's spiritual energy could crystallize, so could it.
However, unlike the luminous clarity of the Spiritual Power crystals from Fragment Land, its refined crystal was filled with spotty impurities.
The various Alien Powers it contained existed within the crystal in the form of these spotty impurities.
Its interior was muddled and full of foreign substances, yet it was also a crystallized energy that could be utilized.
