Chapter 123: Becoming A Freak
....
When it came to formations, Li Yan already reached the Heaven Rank, and was even close to achieving the Middle Heaven Rank!
On the other hand, Shun Wen progressed in Arrays just enough to achieve the Heaven Rank. She had amassed a large bank of knowledge over the years, so results like these weren't actually all that surprising.
With both her and Li Yan being of a similar profession rank, they worked quite well together, especially when it came to creating Qi Gathering Formation Arrays!
And finally, there was Xue Lan, who definitely appeared very useless on the outside. However, on the inside, she was… still pretty useless!
But just her presence lured in Nightmare Monsters from even the deeper parts of the Great Raja Forest. As a result of having this passive bait around him, Lucifer was no longer required to venture out and potentially encounter that massive beast in the Raja Heart.
This was about the only thing Xue Lan was good for, and it was just enough to permit her residinship in the holy cabin abode.
'Fufu! Just doing this for that ditsy girl could already be considered a great deed, deserving of high amounts of karma!'
WHIRL!
As Lucifer's thoughts stirred, the Qi in the surrounding mountain ranges swarmed toward his location in the cabin and provided him with more than enough energy.
The effects from all the pills he had been taking also worked so as to help him progress his cultivation at insanely fast speeds!
In the span of 48 hours, Lucifer had already broken through twice. From the Early Nascent Soul Realm to the Late Nascent Soul Realm, his progress was palpable!
On top of that, his Body Cultivation, Mind Citliabtiok, and Evil Cultivation had all passed over the Adamantine Rank and achieved the Platinum Rank!
With all his aspects of existence put into the equation, it wasn't too surprising that his Battle Power had progressed to the absolute limit of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendance Realm!
"With my strength as it is, I think I am just about as strong as Shun Wen's father…? I think his cultivation was somewhere in the 1st Stage Tribulation Transcendance Realm, so yeah, somewhere around there…"
Sitting in a lotus position within his private cultivation chambers, Lucifer figured it was about time that he started spending some of the Legendary Clone Essence that he had been storing up over the last period of time.
Opening up his system interface, this was what he saw:
BLING!
—-------
{[Lucifer]}
[Qi Cultivation - Late Nascent Soul Realm (Middle)]
[Body Cultivation - Early Platinum Rank (22.6%)]
[Mind Cultivation - Early Platinum Rank (25.9%)]
[Evil Cultivation - Early Platinum Rank (11.3%)]
[Battle Power - Half-Step Tribulation Transcendance Realm (Limit)]
[Half-Step Tribulation Transcendance Realm Clone cost - 1 Sextillion Legendary Clone Essence]
[Maximum Amount of Clone Essence so far - 28 Sextillion Legendary Clone Essence]
[Current Clone Essence - 28 Sextillion Legendary Clone Essence]
—-------
"Oh… I got quite a bit of Legendary Clone Essence, eh? With this substantial amount, I guess I will just spend 60% of it, like usual."
Following through with this decision, Lucifer clicked on the clone purchase button and watched as the number of max-lvl clones increased from none to 17!
FWIP! FWIP!
17 mirror-copy clones with strength equal to the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendance Realm materialized from thin air. The first thing they did upon coming into existence was leave the area and fend off the waves of Nigganre Monsters rushing toward the riverside cabin from all directions.
Not long after, a few system notifications hit Lucifer in the side.
[Ding! You have killed 1,350 Unity Form Synthesis Realm Nightmare Monsters, ranging from the Early Stage to the Peak Stage. The reward is 8.5 Sextillion Legendary Clone Essence!]
[Ding! Your Legendary Clone Essence has recaed a point where it would be better to have it evolve! Would you like to go through with the evolution process?]
"Yeah, sure, we can do the evolution."
[Ding! All of your Legendary Clone Essence has been converted into a higher level Supreme Clone Essence. The exact conversion rate is 100 Sextillion Legendary Clone Essence = 1 Supreme Clone Essence. With your previous amount of Legendary Clone Essence, you have received 0.25 Supreme Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have automatically absorbed the cultivation of all the organisms you killed. As a result, your cultivation has broken through from the Late Nascent Soul Realm to the Peak Nascent Soul Realm!]
[Ding! The size of your Nascent Soul has increased, and the quality of your existence has taken another major qualitative leap!]
[Ding! Your Battle Power has broken past the major wall that once restricted it!]
[Ding! Your Battle Power has successfully planted itself in the 1st Stage of Tribulation Transcendence!]
"The 1st Stage of Tribaultiokn Transcenadnace is definitely a large step forward… And with the Mahayana Realm being the peak of the world, I don't think it will be long before I need to ascend this plane of existence. After all, for more strength, a small pond could never hope to restric me."
For but a moment, a flash of resolve passed through Lucifer's expression. The look in his eyes fully emulated the degree to which he would sacrifice everything in order to climb his way past his main body bastard.
No matter how far he had to go, there would one day come a time where stood above his main body. At that moment, Lucifer had no Idea what he would feel, but he knew that it would have all been worth it.
With useless thoughts swirling around inside the back of his mind, Lucifer went back to cultivating, planning to reach the Soul Transformation Realm before next time Shun Wen's father came to bother him.
'Over the last two days, that old fart has repeatedly come to this cabin under the guise of checking up on his daughter. And during his stay, he might as well have been begging me to leave this place and his Nightsorrow Empire. But unfortunately for him, I don't have any f*cks left to give!'
'He was the one who said it was fine if we stayed as long as we wanted, and who am I to not take him up on his generous offer!? That would simply be far too rude, even for me!'
"Kakaka!"
As Lucifer's maniacal laughter resounded inside his sound-proof cultivation room, both him and the girls all worked on their individual tasks. With their end goals all being to make him stronger, the effort was all put into the same cause!
—--------
Half a week later.
Sitting inside his personal cultivation room of the riverside cabin, this is what Lucifer saw when he opened up his system interface.
—-------
{[Lucifer]}
[Qi Cultivation - Half-Step Soul Transformation Realm (Limit)]
[Body Cultivation - Middle Platinum Rank (35.8%)]
[Mind Cultivation - Middle Platinum Rank (37.2%)]
[Evil Cultivation - Middle Platinum Rank (31.3%)]
[Soul Cultivation - Middle Platinum Rank (2.44%)]
[Battle Power - 4th Stage Tribulation Transcendance Realm (Early)]
[4th Stage Tribulation Transcendance Realm Clone cost - 500 Supreme Clone Essence]
[Maximum Amount of Clone Essence so far - 32,000 Supreme Clone Essence]
[Current Clone Essence - 32,000 Supreme Clone Essence]
—-------
"It looks like my Soul Cultivation also had a breakthrough during the last few days. And from what I can see, it should get pretty close to the percentile rate of my Mind, Evil, and Qi Cultivation. It might take like another day or so…?"
Over the most recent period of the grind, Lucifer managed to fully activate and start progressing his Soul Cultivation. From nilche to the Middle Platinum Rank, it made insane advancements!
Lucifer was also working on activating the Spirit and Arcane Paths, but for Spirit, he had to be in the Soul Transformation Realm. And for Arcane, he had to be in the Void Transformation Realm…
Sighing to himself, Lucifer erased depressing thoughts from his mind and focused on fulfilling one of the requirements for the Spirit Cultivation Path.
A breakthrough into the Soul Transformation Realm!
With his Nascent Soul already having reached its full maturity, it was now time to make the leap and jump into a realm that was considered no less than a myth in the Elemental Nations!
If Lucifer's breakthrough were to go off without a hitch, then he would surely be the first native citizen of the Elemental Nations to breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm within the last ten thousand years-!
WHIRL!
WHOOoosshhh…
"Hmm? Was that a breakthrough just now?"
Scanning the inside of his Dantian Space with his Divine Sense, Lucifer saw something utterly mind-boggling…
His Nascent Soul now had a set of Essence Soul Armor atop it! In other words, his breakthrough went off without a hitch! And he did so without even knowing that he was attempting a breakthrough!
{[Early Soul Transformation Realm]} - (Attained)
"Well, well, well… Have I actually become too OP…?"
Lucifer hadn't been in this world for more than a couple months and yet he had already achieved a Battle Power in the 6th Stage of Tribulation Transcendance! And his cultivation was in the Early Soul Transformation Realm!
In simpler terms, he had become a freak! And not just any freak, but a stupidly overpowered freak!
