Chapter 59: 8th Stage Qi Condensation Realm
...…
After everything was laid out bare before the entire group, Lady Xiao, Lady Yu, the various sisters, and the other family members immediately grasped what had happened with their brothers.
'These idiots likely got drunk and left their bodyguards. After which, they probably picked a fight with the first Water Nation Expert they saw. Thereafter, they got their asses handed to them, and then those same asses didn't wish to embarrass themselves any further by lying about something that could be investigated.'
'This is the train of thought that I assume everyone is following at this very moment. And if my speculations are correct, then that dense father of mine will answer with:'
"That is enough fooling around. There are still a great many Water Nation cultivators still left within our lands, and our job is to eradicate every last one of them."
Lord Xiao waved his large hands, immediately putting a stop to the small farce between 'insignificant' characters.
Following the utterance of his indisputable words, everyone tagged along behind him as he traversed the lands and took care of any Golden Core Formation Realm Experts he found.
During this trip, Lucifer made sure to secretly assimilate all of the scattered corpses with his 'Demon Assimilation' technique.
Through the stupid OP applications of this ludicrous art, his cultivation skyrocketed beyond anything that he thought he'd obtain from this short hike through the hills!
As Lucifer felt his cultivation grow unbeknownst to the eyes of anyone else but himself, he and his aunt answered all the various questions aimed at the both of them.
Most were just curious how they crossed paths; however, there were some like Yang Mo, who were simply being envious shitheads.
Lucifer passed off these r*tards with vague answers like 'If the moon permits it' or 'When the stars align, that was when we met'.
Yang Mo and the rest of the stupid monkeys were infuriated by these words, but Lucifer honestly couldn't give a shit!
Plus, Lord Xiao was always in close proximity, so none of them were permitted to act up too much. That was unless they wished to incur the wrath of the one destroying chunks of mountains left and right!
He threw Golden Core Formation Realm Masters around like ragdolls!
Even so, Lucifer was far too preoccupied with perusing his system notifications to care about the frustrations of his idiotic family members or even about the head of the family himself.
In his eyes, they were nothing but monkeys, with some being slightly stronger than the rest.
All of them would become loot in the end, so why bother with them anymore than what was necessary?
'Stupid monkeys… I wish I were strong enough to turn them all into loot…'
Lucifer clicked his tongue while feeling another surge in his strength after absorbing the essence of a Late Golden Core Formation Realm Cultivator.
{[Middle of 7th Stage Qi Condensation]}
{[Late of 7th Stage Qi Condensation]}
{[Peak of 7th Stage Qi Condensation]}
{[Initial of 8th Stage Qi Condensation]}
{[Early of 8th Stage Qi Condensation]}
Overall, the end results were quite lackluster. But considering how much essence escaped their bodies before Lucifer could get his hands on them, what he got was rather fair and reasonable.
However, in spite of the massive improvements to his strength, nothing ever seemed to be good enough for the benefit-craving Loot Goblin.
Even during the ongoing killings of the Devildukes, he still had the nerve to send out all of his tens of thousands of clones!
He instructed them to continue killing and not stop killing until he reached a Battle Power in the Middle Golden Core Formation Realm. Which, by his calculations, should be within the next few hours…
Lucifer wanted to go and consolidate his cultivation before making any further breakthroughs, but he couldn't exactly do that without looking sus as fuck. So, in the end, he had to delay the inevitable.
Even so, that didn't discourage him in the slightest. After all, he still had far more benefits to obtain!
Benefits! Benefits! Benefits!
It was all about the fucking benefits!
The grind was eternal, and the benefits were ceaseless.
This was not a choice, but rather a lifestyle or principle that all those under the heavens should live and die by!
At least, that was what Lucifer believed.
…
It had been more than 10 hours since Lucifer met up with the group that his family had banded together.
Throughout this period of time, he managed to not only get his cultivation to the peak of the 8th Stage of Qi Condensation, but he also achieved full comprehension of his Sword Slash!
Of course, this was only limited to the 'Absolute Peak-Common Rank', but it was definitely a step forward.
And it was quite a big one when one included the fact that the Mortal Rank would be next. Which, in Lucifer's eyes, would be a far larger step toward progressing his Battle Power into the Middle Golden Core Formation Realm.
If it wasn't already mentioned before, his Battle Power successfully matched that of an Early Golden Core Formation Realm Cultivator around the 2 hour mark.
Now, he was simply trudging his way forward, aiming to achieve a higher realm of power within the day!
At least, that was what was originally supposed to happen…
CRACKA—LACKA!
With the crackling of a large mass of Lightning Qi, Lucifer and the rest were surprised to find an old man looming in the airspace above.
He looked nothing short of a Lightning God in human form!
His stature was tall, broad, and imposing, while his muscles were firm and defined. Add that to the half-showing, Olympic-like robes he wore, and a jacked as fuck old lightning bro was made!
As for who this mysterious man was?
Well…
"Lightning Lunatic, Jin Go," Lord Xiao muttered to himself, looking up to the sky with a cautious gleam in his stern gaze.
"???" "???" "???"
The rest of the group had no clue who this man was, but him to get such a reaction out of their Lord. Well, it didn't take a friggin genius to realize that they were likely about to be fucked sideways!
That notion was soon proven to be the case when, all of a sudden, Jin Go started gathering increasingly massive amounts of Lightning Energy!
