Chapter 70: Nearing The Middle Foundation Establishment Realm, Interrupting Father's Battle
...…
Tap Tap
Like the beating of the drum of death, Lucifer walked up to the deformed meat potato. Then, with decisiveness, he shot out a small Qi beam and finished her off. After which, he absorbed the cultivation bases of both her and the five Grand Elder corpses.
Two were from earlier, and the other three occurred over the last few hours.
But no matter when the loot bags died, they were still loot in the end…
First and foremost, Lucifer perused the incoming system notifications.
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed a Peak Core Formation Realm Cultivator of the Devilduke Family. After applicable boosts are applied, the reward is 10 Decillion Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed five Early Golden Core Formation Realm Cultivators of the Devilduke Family. After applicable boosts are applied, the reward is 340 Undecillion Clone Essence!]
Following these system notifications, Lucifer felt his cultivation base start to increase once more.
[Ding! Your current cultivation percentile rate is at 85.9% of the way into the Early Foundation Establishment Realm!]
"Hmm…"
Lucifer was happy over seeing the Clone Essence per kill increase by so much, and he was also overjoyed with the cultivation improvements, but he felt like something was missing.
"Ahh… I totally forgot to take these out and scare the bejeebers out of my mother…" He took out the heads of two Supreme Elders, lamenting over a failed objective.
However, after a moment of sulking, Lucifer focused back on the next task of this long string of people he needed to recruit and kill.
"To go and meet father. Oh, and that Lighting Lunatic fello!" Lucifer's eyes brightened up, then, without the permission of Li Yan, he picked her up and blurred from his spot.
Leaping through the Great Mormonga Forest at insanely fast speeds, the both of them eventually reached a location riddled with craters. Of which, they were filled with faint traces of both the lightning and fire elements.
"So, this is what happens when two beings at the absolute peak of the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm fight with their lives on the line… Not bad." Lucifer mused at the surrounding destruction, feeling that his father did quite a good job at destroying everything he could.
Let alone the burning forests and earth, even the mountains and hills were in shambles. Alone, the damage didn't seem like much, but with so many counteracting aspects, the place looked like nothing short of the aftermath of a bomb barrage.
CRACKLE—
KABOOOOM!
Explosions and lighting crackles could be heard in close proximity, and Lucifer wasn't one to dawdle. So, while carrying around the expressionless Li Yan, he sprang into the air like a broken coil!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Sonic booms followed right behind his trail.
"???" "???"
Making his presence known to the powerhouses, he shot in their direction from over 5000 meters in the sky!
KABOOOM!
When he touched base in the area where the two were fighting, both of them slightly retreated and waited for the smoke to dissipate.
When it did finally disperse, Lord Xiao's eyes widened considerably. With a bruised and beaten body, he moved his cracked lips and said, "Lucifer… What are you doing here? And that power…"
The Devilduke considered himself quite the intelligent one. So, upon witnessing such a display of strength, he almost immediately realized what had happened.
"A devil… You have been possessed by a devil…? So, the Family Competition… The sudden change in your will to cultivate…"
For the first time in a very long time, Lord Xiao was at a loss for words.
However, the foreigner had no notion of who or how Lucifer had changed. Thus, the Lightning Lunatic shouted, "Hey, shithead! Do you not see that we are fighting over here!? Why don't you go back and suck on your mums teets! Leave the real fights to the real men!"
In the beginning, he was mildly surprised by the display of strength this boy showed off. But, considering that it could just be a fluke or play set up by Lord Xiao, the Lightning Lunatic decided it was best to threaten the newcomer.
"Umu?" Lucifer waved the residual smoke away from his face and looked toward the two imposing people.
One was adorned in long, flowing fiery robes, possessing the countenance of an off-brand fire god. Whereas the other one was analogous to the Walmart version of Thor. Except instead of a cool ass hammer, he wielded some wimpy little 3-foot long spear.
"Hey, bro. Just because your weapon is short, don't believe that all of us will think that you have a mighty third leg in your pants." Lucifer sneered at the third-rate villain, quickly finding himself staring at the dumbfounded look on his father's face.
"!?!?"
"You Dare!?" The Lightning Lunatic roared. Then, as if his weapon were alive, it aligned with the surging emotions of its master.
Creating a field of lightning around his body, it didn't stop until it ended up expanding to the size of a football stadium. Then, with overwhelming might, the Lightning Lunatic lunged forth with his spear!
Surpassing speeds nearly a dozen times that of sound, he passed in between donuts of electrical air, aiming to penetrate the young man's entire existence in one blow!
"!!!"
Lord Xiao immediately went on the defensive when faced with this extreme amount of power, swiftly getting himself into the |Reaper Assassin| stance.
He was prepared to put 100% of his strength into thwarting the advance of the Lightning Lunatic's attack!!!
And then there was Lucifer…
"Yo, brother. You know that showing off your puny skills is just making you look extremely sad, don't you…?" He lightly blew on a booger he picked with his pinky. Then, with untold levels of ease, he stuck out his pointer finger and thumb.
Completely out of the expectations of all those present, Lucifer grabbed hold of the spear's tip, effectively stopping the Lighting Lunatic from moving a single inch further!
"!?" "!?"
"How could this be!?" The Lightning Lunatic tried to break free of the grip that the young man had on his spear. However, no matter how much he strained himself, nothing budged the spear!
"Say, Lightning Douche, have you ever been schadooched? I mean, your name would indicate that you have, but I just wanted to make sure." Lucifer wryly chuckled while lifting up his pinky finger.
