NOVPUBAs for the two hateful beings above the Bone Mountain, due to the accumulation of bad luck within their bodies for the past few days, they only managed to reach two-thirds of the Bone Mountain...
Still quite far away from the mountain's peak and toward the hanging corpse above.
Their speed had already dropped to 1 meter per breath, and their flesh was covered in varying degrees of wounds.
Furthermore, the aura of decay could be sensed plaguing their beings, slowing down their health recovery by a considerable amount and deepening the pain their wounds transmit to them by folds!
To the point that their cry of agony could often be heard echoing throughout the place even though they were far away from Leo's location.
A testament to the torture they experienced in the past few days!
It could be said that after the lower body got cheated by its main body days ago, its wariness regarding its surrounding area increased drastically—often causing the upper body to receive some wounds if it entered its senses and area of effects.
Hence, the upper body lost its initial advantage over the latter... Making it helpless as it could only rely on itself to kill the beasts popping up in its way while at the same time guarding against the possible sneak attack of its lower body.
Basically, making its initial plans to use its lower body to clear the way becomes unsuccessful.
...
"D*mmit! Just a little bit more and I would finally reach the limit of my foundation!"

Sensing that his foundation suddenly stopped growing, seemingly unable to reach its limits, Leo couldn't help but release a deep sigh of dissatisfaction.
Frowning, he was unable to understand why it suddenly stopped as it was about to reach its limits.
"Is the pressure not enough, or there's something else?'
Unable to comprehend where the problem lies, Leo reluctantly stood up from his seat before advancing toward the top of the bone mountain.
He wouldn't believe that his foundation would still not reach its limits if the pressure his soul, mind, and physique were bearing increased by folds.
"Fortunately, I didn't deal with the two hateful beasts earlier on, or else I would surely attract the attention of the mutated beasts living in this mountain."
Seeing the destruction caused by the two hateful beings on the way, Leo couldn't help but weakly mumble under his breath... Attempting to use his divine senses in order to see if there were traces of flesh left by the two hateful beings around him, but only in vain.
Feeling bored, Leo could only summon his character panel... Gazing below only to see that his horror points increase by 50,000 points at one point, bringing his wealth to 325,000 in total.
With this, he could again increase the level of his horror shop by one and buy some spiritual herbs from the system shop.
This time, he plans to make 10 of his transcended puppets guard the plantation 24 hours a day, making it the most guarded place in the bland cemetery!
"If they still couldn't protect the plantation, then there's no need for them to exist."
...
Soon, after traversing the land filled with rotting bones for a couple of hours, Leo finally felt that the pressure pressing toward his being increased by thrice... 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Making his bones creak a little as he sits toward the small mound in the distance.
Closing his eyes, the scene of his creaking foundation soon entered his senses, silently watching it become more solid and thick under the pressing pressure—becoming more crystallized as time passed by.
Other than that, he could also sense the faint ominous aura forming within his liquefied core, cleansing the spiritual qi it contained and making them carry a hint of gloominess with unknown effects!
Creak~
Soon, after an hour of silently watching his foundation...
The sound of an inaudible creak suddenly echoed within his soul, instantly giving him the sensation of sublimation for a short second as a sharp glint couldn't help but flash within his gray irises.
Gazing at his foundation that had finally reached its limits, Leo could feel that the ominous aura it formed earlier had already occupied 10% of his liquefied core!
If he uses any of his offensive skills right now using the ominous aura (type of qi), he feels that their damage would increase by twice their normal effects!
Solidifying his ability to fight beings above his realm!
"Unfortunately, it only occupied 10% of my spiritual qi; I could only use it if I was cornered or my life was at risk."
However, even though that was the case, there was no trace of disappointment on his face; instead, a flicker of excitement could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
With his foundation finally reaching its limits, he could finally attempt advancing toward the latter stage of the core formation realm without any problem...
In fact, his strength would even increase drastically compared to other cultivators with only a so-so foundation.
"I hope that advancing with a foundation that reaches its limits wouldn't disappoint me."
Weakly mumbling to himself, Leo, without hesitation, retreated toward the foot of the Bone Mountain... Returning toward the entrance of the cavern as he decided to advance in that place.
If he decided to advance toward the Bone Mountain, there's a huge chance that the energy he exudes during advancement would attract the attention of the mutated beasts in the place—distracting him from fully utilizing the benefits he would gain in his advancement... reasoning for him to regret it later.
Furthermore, he would also risk himself from being discovered by the two hateful flesh above, making it almost impossible to ambush them when the opportunity arises.
As for the fear that the two hateful flesh would reach the peak of the mountain in his absence, the possibility of that happening was almost null.
With their current speed, not to speak a week, even if they were given a month, they wouldn't reach the mountain peak.
Well, even if they somehow... miraculously reach the peak of the mountain in a short period of time, he would still be able to intercept them since advancing toward the later stage of the core formation realm wouldn't take too much time!
At most, he would be able to successfully advance at the end of the day.
