Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!-Chapter 351: The Soul Stone and The Soul Parasite.
"You call them beasts race?"
Looking at Leo in front of it as if looking at an idiot, the twisting shadow's head couldn't help but shake in pure disbelief. Thinking if the outside world regressed too much, to the point that they even view those low-level and mixed-blood as a beast race.
"Sigh, not only do you lack basic knowledge regarding cultivation, but you also seem ignorant about the world.
"Listen well, the Beast race has always been within the top 1,000 races in the cultivation world since ancient times; although the low blood outside had similarities with the Beast race, their bloodline that clearly lacks purity pointed out their inferiority...
"Moreover, every Beast clan had a unique set of skills ingrained within their bloodlines that they could awaken every time they made a breakthrough... Heh~ Not only could they activate their bloodline skills with their blood force, but their physical strength was also innately stronger than humans — hence their strength had always been above their peers...
"Fortunately, the skill ingrained within their bloodline seems quite fixed, allowing some people to devise plans in order to counter some of their skills."
Hearing the other party's explanation, Leo couldn't help but nod his head in understanding — unable to help but develop some awe toward the twisting shadow's wisdom.
It could be said that just some fragmented knowledge from the other party already benefited him greatly, enlarging his database as his mind began to glimpse the higher world.
"My strength was really insignificant; if the low blood outside already troubles me this greatly, I wonder what would happen if I met a Beast with a pure bloodline...
"Moreover, even if my foundation could rival them, there are still races above the Beast's race."
Thinking of it, Leo's complacency about his strength vanished in an instant, only to be replaced by the determination to increase his strength as soon as possible. Without a strength above the Core Formation realm, or even above the Nascent Soul realm, Leo, for the first time, felt extremely unsafe.
"Senior, do you want me to help you get rid of those beasts? Although my strength seems weak on the surface, facing those low-blood below the Nascent Soul realm isn't a problem for me."
Already having a guess regarding the other party's identity, probably a remnant soul of the owner of this independent world, Leo began to develop a plan within his mind — basically wanting the other party's help in order to kill some beasts to quickly earn horror points.
"Even though it's unsure if Senior could assist, as the owner of this place, he should be aware of where the treasures were kept. Right?' freeweɓnøvel.com
Unfortunately, Leo's expected outcome didn't occur; instead, upon hearing what Leo had said, the agitated twisting shadow immediately calmed down, smiling before exclaiming in an excited voice.
"Not bad, I can pinpoint any beings within this place; with your current strength, killing half of those low-bloods might be possible. Go on, I will leave some wisp of my soul toward you; it will guide you toward the nearest low-bloods that were below the Nascent Soul realm.
"Hehe~ If you satisfied me, I might give you an advantage when the inheritance finally surfaced."
In an instant, upon muttering those words with a hint of reminiscing in its voice, the body of the twisting shadow abruptly churned, followed by its aura fluctuating at an alarming rate as wisps of smoke began to ooze from its being...
Spreading through afar, covering the land in an instant.
Split—
Soon, after a sharp tearing sound echoed around, a small part of its being suddenly separated from its original body — tearing apart akin to a thin layer of paper before suddenly attaching to Leo's body at a swift speed, not even giving Leo a chance to react as it drilled toward his illusionary skin as it ingrained deep within.

[ Soul Parasite: An innate talent that allows the user's soul to attach to other living beings after death, causing their soul lifespan to extend considerably. However, in exchange for increasing their lifespan, the user's overall stats would weaken greatly for a while, even decreasing in the worst case possible.
Note: Attaching your soul to other living beings would cause the victim's soul energy to be consumed — causing the recovery of their overall energy, including health, mana, and stamina to decrease by 250%. Moreover, their overall stats would also decrease by 5% momentarily. They could only recover their lost stats after they had adapted to your soul. ]
...
In an instant, upon the soul parasite attached to his body, Leo's spirit immediately fluctuates — turning unstable for a while before diminishing by a considerable amount, giving him the sensation of weakness and discomfort.
Fortunately, the information of the other party flickered within his mind on time, or else he might have thought that the other party's mind had changed, causing him to fought back for self-defense.
"Wait, this new reward? Isn't this the divine material born from the depths of a dying star that the senior had just spoken of earlier?!
"If cultivators, especially those within the Nascent Soul realm and above, new that I had this kind of heavenly treasure, they might go crazy on the spot and hunt me to death."
It could be said that, from the Nascent Soul realm and onwards, most of the cultivators no longer cared about their physique; instead, they mostly focused on the aspect of the soul — striving to solidify, mutate, or cleanse them to advance further.
"I heard that in order for a core formation realm cultivator to break through toward the Nascent Soul realm, they needed to split part of their soul before putting it toward the depths of their purified core.
Nurturing it before letting the soul break apart the purified core — akin to a chick breaking through their shell — unfolding toward the world."
