Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 173 Breaking Through Toward The Core Formation Realm (4)!



Splash!

Thick water instantly rippled toward the depths of the forbidden pit as Leo's shadow physique quietly collided with the wet ground, making its cold and unknown energy quickly seep within his being.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

On the surface of his physique, tendrils of pure dark lightning, swaying under the veil of darkness, could be faintly discerned, lightly illuminating the environment in dreadful light- signifying his inevitable breakthrough.

Crack...

Observing the familiar darkness and the countless grey bones beneath the black ink water for a while, Leo unhurriedly sat down on the ground, immediately closing his eyes to recover his lost energy, before he attempted to break through- so he could advance in his optimal condition.

...

Ding!

+2 Qi (recovery)...

+2 Qi (recovery)...

Huff~

Soon, after hours of cultivating. Leo finally opened his eyes, taking a deep long breath as he carefully took out the three potions within his inventory, opening their cap before drinking them all without hesitation.

Gulped...

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon drinking Qi, Health, and Stamina recover potions!

Effects: Passively increase the basic recovery of the Qi, Health, and Stamina by 400% in 1 hour! ]

Seeing this, Leo didn't immediately attempt to advance toward the core formation realm, instead, he began to check the materials within his inventory one by one.

From the remains of the Epic Black rat (mainly its bones), in addition to the materials that came from the deceased corpse of the Core Formation Demon vine that they killed months ago, followed by the flesh of the foundation realm beast from the past that he killed, and a couple of Earth Gold that numbered up to hundreds...

Although it might seem that the thing Leo was currently doing wasn't related to his advancement...

In fact, it was extremely necessary for him... At least, it was necessary for the creation of his Soul Bound Weapon!

A weapon that would grow with the cultivator's every advancement! Even if it was destroyed in the battle, it would still slowly recover within the soul of the cultivator! Making them eternal...

( However, if the cultivator dies, his Soul Bound Weapon will also be destroyed in the process...)

***

When he was advancing toward the core formation realm, there were 4 factors that he needed to achieve before finishing his advancement.

First is creating the gaseous core within his soul, making the Qi within him much more condensed and heavy in the process- making the skill used by the Core Formation realm being drastically increase in effects and strength, enough to thrash most of the Foundation realm cultivator with little to no effort!

Followed by Soul Bound Weapon, which would be created using the materials he readied himself and with the help of the tempering of the lightning that would appear in the middle of his advancement...

Although the created weapon would be randomized since its creation was out of his control, nonetheless, it was sure that the compatibility between him and the weapon would be perfect! To the point that he would feel that the weapon was similar to the extension of his limbs!

Third is the Tempering of his Soul...

Followed by the creation of the Domain using one's understanding of the Rules!

Although Leo already had a Domain of Despair on his skill panel... The one who created it was ultimately not him but the system, making him believe that it was possible to create another domain on his own without relying on system help...

Possibly allowing him to gain 2 Domains at the Core Formation realm!

Although it was unheard that the Core Formation realm cultivator could have two domains on his own, Leo still wanted to see if it was possible!

If he managed to create a new domain on his own, then his strength would be naturally above the new ascended Core Formation realm being! Or probably might allow him to fight a being above his realm!

"Keke~ even if I failed, it wouldn't cost me too much... In fact, it would only make me half disappointed!'

Crackle~ Crackle~

In an instant, upon closing his senses, the streaks of dark lightning within the surface of his physique began to increase in number, greatly illuminating the almost enclosed passage as the water beneath him slowly evaporated due to the high temperature it contained.

-0.1 Health...

-0.1 Health...

Boom!

Slowly, as time passed by, dark dense smoke, formed from the condensed innumerable Death Qi, originating from the unknown depths of the passage, slowly entered Leo's being, circulating within his shadow physique before entering toward the depths of his black soul, toward his illusionary gaseous core- making the core slightly vivid in the process...

Not affected by the slight success that occurred within his soul, Leo continuously absorbed the Qi in the environment, making the place instantly shrouded by thick dark clouds as lightning kept flickering within its centre...

Not different from the scene of heavy storms... as the black lightning began to materialize within the passage, drilling from the depths of the void as they began to strike Leo's being- causing parts of his shadow physique to disintegrate toward the atmosphere.

However, although he began to take damage, his natural healing abilities which were strengthened by folds due to the effect of healing potions began to kick in- making the lost luster of his physique recover in an instant...

At the same time, the illusionary gaseous Core within his being slowly becomes more vivid and alive in the process, but still away from the threshold of being called the Gaseous Core of the Core Formation realm being...

...

Crackle~ Crackle~

Time slowly passed by...

The thick black lightning that kept materializing within the atmosphere, intertwining dreadfully within the darkness, almost comparable to the thumb of an adult began to continuously hit the surface of Leo's physique, causing its luster to diminish by amount as his health began to waver- as his natural recovery couldn't keep up with the damage he took!

However, even though that was the case, Leo's senses were still tightly closed, not caring a bit about his surroundings as he stared at the depths of his soul, unceasingly absorbing the Qi within the environment, making them churn within his physique as they crazily circulated to his whole being...

Strengthening his physique and soul in the process before proceeding toward his half-illusionary core- making its luster more natural as it began to materialize within, exiting its previous illusionary state as it began to become real!

...

Boom!

Not even a second passed by... when Leo's core was about to materialize within the reality, a thick bolt of black lightning, almost as thick as a child's thighs suddenly struck his shadow head, leaving him in daze as the tendrils of black lightning instantly forced its way toward his soul...

Hitting his gaseous core as it slightly tempered it in the process, making it carry an amount of its destructive nature.

"This... Indeed, lightning is both a punishment and a reward.'

Leo instantly thought, slightly lowering his guard as he let the lightning strike his physique, slowly reducing his health but at the same time, making his gaseous core much heavy and realistic!

Huff~

Ding!

-5 Health!

-5 Health!

"Enough...'

Seeing that his health was already reduced by third, Leo immediately activated his Deterrence skill, summoning a faint yellow light that instantly shrouded the area of 7.5 meters in diameter, causing the black lightning that entered the area to slowly lose its thickness before finally hitting the surface of his body...

Moreover, the energy that was deprived from the black lightning began to heal Leo's physique at visible speed, making him mentally nod his head in satisfaction.

...

Ding!

"Huff~ finally, it was done!"

Leo heaves a sigh of relief upon finally seeing his illusionary core within his black soul become gaseous, giving him the feeling of heaviness and destruction, seemingly carrying a hint of destructive properties from the black lightning as its surface churned and flickered with faint lightning...

Boom!

Seemingly feeling that Leo's core already took form, the lightning within the void issued a loud booming sound, deafening Leo's senses, making the black ink water beneath him evaporate in an instant, as its strength began to increase by folds...

From the initial thickness of a child's thighs, the lightning thickness abruptly increased by twice, sending a danger signal to Leo's soul as it began to bombard his physique...

Seemingly enraged as it often releases a loud rumble...

...

Experience new tales on empire

Boom! Boom!

Ding!

-2 health!

+3 health!

-2 health!

+3 health!

Leo's health keeps fluctuating, decreasing before increasing in the next second, making his health again full after 10 minutes...

Knowing that it was again time to anger the lightning, Leo began taking out the materials within his inventory, tossing them one by one toward the churning lightning above the void as he began feeding it within his Qi...

Watching it slowly deformed within his senses as some parts of them began to liquefy, unceasingly being hit by black lightning as if it was a separated segment of Leo's physique...

Seeing that his Soul Bound weapon gained all the attention of the black lightning. Feeling that he was being ignored, Leo unhurriedly took out the Peak Enlightenment Stone within his inventory, gazing above the churning lightning as he began to comprehend its vastness- wanting to gain a preliminary understanding of it...
