Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"It's already starting."

Leo weakly uttered, staring beneath as he sensed the aura of Jerome already breaking through the thin barrier.

Visibly twisting the atmosphere nearby as the wind began to churn crazily around him- a testament to his cultivation technique that focused on the aspect of wind.

Crackle~ Crackle~

Still, not a second passed. After his aura was on the verge of entering the core formation realm, the sound of crackling lightning, dyed in vibrant green, began to emerge from the gaps of the void.

Visibly attracted to the scent of a forming gaseous core within the depths of Jerome's body as they began to threateningly churn.

Sending streaks toward the surface of Jerome's body, only to be deflected by the thin layer of wind around him.

Boom!

Soon, feeling that the time was right. Leo, within the thick branches above the canopy, unhurriedly took out a seemingly ordinary stone from his inventory.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Bewitch by the faint starlight that was faintly reflected from its surface as the sensation of calm coldness swept through his mind. Increasing his comprehension, albeit limited.

"Keke~ It's time to further deepen my comprehension of heavenly lightning; I need it in order to weaken the lightning I will endure when I decide to advance toward the Nascent Soul realm."

Clenching the low enlightenment stone within his palm, Leo shifted his gaze toward the tongues of green lightning within the atmosphere.

Beholding them dangerously dance within the surroundings, charring everything they accidentally grazed before vanishing afterwards after they have done their purpose.

"I see... They were bound to vanish and cease to exist after destroying anything within their path. It was the main job of lightn...'

Crumble~

As he was close to comprehending an important part of a certain rule, the stone within his hand abruptly crumbled, causing him to exit the state of enlightenment as a cold light flashed through his gray irises.

Shifting his gaze below, he timely beheld the faint green mist entering the pores of Jerome.

Based on that, he assumed that only 2 minutes passed by when he fell into deep enlightenment.

"The higher the comprehension, the faster the enlightenment stone crumbles."

He mumbled, watching the green lightning that unceasingly tried to hit Jerome's physique, but to no avail.

Inspecting how the heavenly lightning moves for 1 minute before taking another low enlightenment stone from his inventory. Again falling into the euphoric feeling of gaining knowledge, wandering through the vastness of mind, rules, and dao.

...

Heavenly lightning also had its own unique nature; however, compared to normal lightning, the heavenly lightning was times harder to comprehend.

Not only did they hide within the gaps of void all year long, only showing themselves when a being was about to ascend above their natural order. But heavenly lightning also contained traces of comprehension from heaven itself.

Hence, comprehending them was more challenging compared to the other rules.

The difficulty alone could rival great rules under the Dao of Time, Space, Karma, and Destiny.

Ding!

[ Congratulations on failing to comprehend a rule after using 5 low enlightenment stones!

+5,000 horror points!

+3 free attribute points!

+1 peak enlightenment stone! ]

Huff~

Staring at the crumbling stone on his palm, Leo couldn't help but heave in disappointment. Shifting his gaze below as he beheld the thick streaks of green lightning bombarding Jerome's physique.

Finally starting to injure the latter, albeit slightly. Making the dark hair of Jerome stand up from being electrified non-stop.

However, as time passed, the lightning spewing from the void began to increase in number and strength- making the protection within Jerome's body waver non-stop, akin to a thin layer of paper that was being dissolved in water, about to collapse at any second.

...

Jerome, understanding that he couldn't let the lightning heavily injure his physique or at least lower his health by 50%, immediately took out the unique potion Leo concocted.

Uncorking its cap before drinking the tantalizing liquid inside. Emptying the bottle in the next second as his control over the wind was visible and slowly increased.

Making the flickering wind within the surface of his body stable- further strengthening their protection of his physique by at least twice!

Still not done, he took out different types of potions within the void before hurriedly drinking them, giving him the uncomfortable sensation of weightlessness as their properties began to take effect.

Ding!

[ Health recover +50% (29:59) ]

[ Qi Recovery +50% (29:58) ]

[ Lighting immunity +10% (59:59) ]

[ Permanently increase health, Qi, and mental power by 25! ]

Sensing that the damage he gets began to decrease, or to be exact, become more endurable, Jerome hurriedly closed his eyes, focusing his mind on creating the gaseous core within his consciousness.

Gritting his teeth as he began to mold the Qi inside his body, elevating it above its grade as it began to carry some of his understanding of the rule.

Making the Qi more heavy and dangerous in the process, dyeing them slowly in the mysterious hue of green.

"How fascinating, so this is the realm above the foundation realm. No wonder we never had a chance to kill beasts at the core formation realm."

...

Crackle~

Boom!

Beholding how the green lighting within the void becomes restless, Leo slowly unfolds a smile on his pale face.

Taking out a mid-enlightenment stone within the void before clenching it on his palm. Seriously staring at the streaks of lightning afterwards as he again falls into deep enlightenment.

Making his mind extremely clear, devoid of any distractions, as the meaning of heavenly lightning began to flicker within his consciousness at a swift speed.

Appearing and vanishing at the very next second, only allowing him to sense their corner but unable to grasp their rules.

"It was still not enough; the mid-enlightenment stone was far from enough."

Mumbling to himself, unaware of the strange expression of the two silver skeletons beside him, Leo took out a high enlightenment stone from the void.

He clutched it into his other palm as his comprehension drastically increased again.

Making the meaning of the lightning more clear within his consciousness... To the point that he could even taste it with just his thoughts and comprehension.

Destruction~ Energy and pure destruction~

Lighting was born just to give energy and destruction, vanishing afterwards upon finishing its job.

However, although its nature was dire, lightning often gave light to the world. Of course, it needed the help of storms in order to showcase its unique side.

Unfortunately, even if it tried to illuminate the world with its thundering noise, the beings who beheld it instead felt intimidated.

They often think that it was a sign of omen instead of light.

Sigh~

"How unfortunate; even rules couldn't escape the criticism of the world."

Leo mumbled under his breath, watching the thin tendrils of dark lightning that just emerged from the corner of his fingertips with a light smile. Slightly scorching the small parts of the branch he was currently in.

Ding!

[ Congratulations on comprehending 1% of the certain rule "Destructive Lightning"! ]

Ding!

[ Destructive Lightning (Rules) (1%): One of the derived Laws of Heavenly Lightning, the destructive rule of lightning, and the ultimate destroyer... At its peak, it was capable of destroying the world!

Effects: Increase the immunity to destructive lightning by 2.5%, the damage of lightning skills by 5%, and the affinity to lightning by 0.5 (Need at least 5% of comprehension in order to use its effects).

Note: Rules are the main ingredients in creating an incomplete domain! ]

...

Seeing the notification that emerged from the corner of his eyes, Leo lightly clenched his fist, taking another enlightenment stone from his inventory as he continued deepening his understanding of destructive lightning.

Glancing below as he timely beheld Jerome taking out the materials he readied from the void, tossing them above the atmosphere afterwards as the lightning shifted their focus toward it.

Bombarding it heavily as the materials swiftly liquified under the unceasing onslaught of the green lightning. Flickering with translucent light before being consumed by intense, bright light.

Not allowing even the divine senses to see what was occurring inside.

Using this precious opportunity, Jerome hurriedly closed his eyes, circulating his Qi toward his physique as the damage he obtained visibly healed under his deliberate control.

Following that, traces of wind began to drill toward his pores before entering the depths of his physique, causing his flesh to elevate beyond its current level.

Making them carry traces of wind in the process.

A unique effect of his cultivation technique which could increase the reaction speed of his physique and the overall strength of his wind-related techniques after fusing the wind to his body.

Although its effect couldn't rival those cultivation techniques above the Mid-Heaven grade, it would still increase his combat ability and reaction speed by folds! Enough to intimidate beings in the same realm.

Furthermore, after he reaches the very peak of integrating the wind into his flesh and being, Jerome would gain the ability to alter his physique between the formless wind and his corporeal body at will!

Thus, gaining an almost invincible ability!
