RIGHT!

When Yulaw (Bad Jet Li) killed one of his alternate selves their life-force was divided up and absorbed by Yulaw and all remaining alternates albeit unknowingly. Proven by the fact that the last alternate Gabriel Law (Good Jet Li) had noticed his strength, speed and mental ability increase slowly over two years without knowing why as he wasn't aware of interdimensional travel nor was he killing his own alternates. Meaning Yulaw killed all other alternates in two years. I believe Yulaw didn't really know why the death of his alternates made him stronger, but became corrupt and power hungry all the same.

​So really its like a combination of Alternate-Self Absorption and Life-Force Absorption by way of Killing Empowerment and/or Death Empowerment.

The following is a little copy and paste from wikipedia about the 2001 film "The One"

Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li), once an officer of the "Multiverse Authority," an agency that polices interdimensional travel via wormholes, seeks to hunt down all variations of himself in alternate universes. By killing all 124 of his other selves (becoming the last version) and absorbing their life energies, he believes he will become an immortal godlike being called "The One."
