Closing his eyes and sensing the raging qi within his liquefied core, Leo then began attempting to advance toward the latter stage of the core formation realm.
Breathing the thick miasma around him into his physique before manipulating them based on his cultivation technique.
After that, he then gently guided them into his liquefied core as they visibly increased the quantity of his spiritual qi every second—accumulating enough quantity before he could attempt to transition it into a solid state.
If he successfully replaces the liquefied qi within his core with solidified qi, then Leo would finally step closer to the late stage of the core formation realm!
It could be said that in order for the cultivator to advance toward the latter stage of the core formation realm, not only do they need to replace the liquefied qi within one's core with solidified qi... But it also needed to further strengthen one's core!
Allowing one to bear the weight of the solidified qi without risking one's life!
Simply put, if one wanted to utilize and control a higher level of spiritual qi, his/her body should be able to bear its weight!
Eak~
Soon, time passes by...
Without any accident, the liquefied qi within Leo's core finally compressed into solidified matter.
Which abruptly oozed with a horrifying aura that swept toward every nook of his core... Causing the densely packed rules that he comprehended in the past show signs of deepening.
Making his core creak slightly due to the strength and pressure they contained before eventually calming down.
With his current foundation reaching its limits, bearing the weight of solidified spiritual qi was much easier than he had expected.
"Huff~ I didn't expect that advancing would be this easy."
In the next second, after his spiritual qi turns into a solid state, warm energy containing a huge amount of life force suddenly gushes toward his soul.
Drastically strengthen its quality and quantity in the process as some of them become fuel for increasing the strength of his physique!
Making his pale physique gleam with paleness under the veil of darkness as the pressure it naturally exudes increases by folds.
Furthermore, the coldness his body contained became more horrifying, causing the pitch-black water beneath to freeze visibly—making it somewhat solid.
In addition to that, the rotting bones floating around, swaying under the ripple of the water, also began to crack, being pulverized in a matter of seconds upon being subjected to Leo's aura.
"I finally reach the late stage of the core formation realm! The nascent soul realm was already within my sight!"

Compared to his strength before advancing, Leo could now sense that his current strength actually elevated by at least 35% even without using the ominous aura within his core...
Enough to beat his past self without breaking a sweat!
He could even feel that he could hold an early stage of the Nascent Soul realm cultivator for an hour without suffering grievous injuries.
As for slaying one, Leo thinks that he needs to at least reach the peak stage of the core formation realm in order to attempt that.
"I should celebrate my advancement toward the latter stage; cursing the two hateful flesh should be enough."
Unfolding a wicked smile on his face, wanting to test the effects of his solidified qi, Leo hurriedly took out the exquisite cauldron within his inventory...
Caressing its rough surface with a gentle look on his face before starting to curse the two hateful beings using the flesh that he collected so far.
"I wonder if my curse would only target one of them or would target them both; their situation was quite confusing."
"However, if my curse manages to kill them both, I hope it counts as two kills."

At the same time, far away from Leo's current location, where waves of raging water could be seen unceasingly rising from the blue ocean—covering the azure sky with their might...
An 8-foot beast filled with densely packed muscles... with six thick arms growing on its back, could be seen gazing at the stone altar below in deep thought.
Letting the heavy water continuously ram toward the stone altar, causing the stone altar to let out a deafening thunderous sound that reverberated toward the firmament.
Surprisingly, every time the sound filled the atmosphere, the crack above the firmament, which revealed the void devoid of any light, widened by a small amount...
Making the fragments of seemingly glasses above crack continuously—Their small parts slowly detaching before eventually falling toward the wide ocean below, which generated a thousand-meter-tall wave in the process...
Eventually, the thousand-meter-tall wave would rammed toward the stone altar.
Forming an unending cycle.
"It's still too slow. With this speed, we had no hope of destroying this huge formation even if we waited for hundreds of years."
"Keke~ So what if that's the case? Our only job is to enlarge the gap within the formation and let the army enter this lowly place. As for destroying the formation, even the commander had no way of destroying it, not to mention us!"
Hearing this, the 8-foot beast shook his head, not even clarifying his thoughts toward the monster hiding within the depths of the ocean as he continued watching the stone altar below.
