Chapter 64: Foundation Establishment Realm, Body Cultivation
.....
"Oh- well, shit! It seems like fighting stronger enemies is definitely the way to go!" Lucifer practically jumped in glee, perusing the most recent system notification like God's great gift to him.
Even though he had no part to play in the killing of the two Grand Elders, he would definitely instruct his slaves to do a bunch more tag team quests from this point onward!
"Those two Grand Elders were first split up, and then two clones ganged up on one before moving over to the second one. Through this process, the Grand Elders were easily eliminated."
Through the use of 'Clone Memory Transfer', Lucifer recounted the exact details of what these clones experienced before giving him such great goodies. And from what he could tell, this was definitely the way to go about it.
After all, with two vs. one, the first clone could fight the opponent fair and square, acting all honorable and sh*t. After which, the second clone could come in and deal the finishing blow when little bro was on his last legs.
There was also a chance that the opponent had some form of lifesaving treasures or techniques, which was also where duo clones would come in handy.
"With this sum of 50 Undecillion Clone Essence, I can purchase another 5 Clones in the Late-Golden Core Formation Realm. Which is also to say that I can soon make two teams of two and one clone of three.
Using such a setup, the disposal of a good majority of those Grand Elders should be as easy as pie.
There's also the equally powerful 'Water Lords' on the side of the Water Nation's forces, all of whom are in the Late through Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm."
Lucifer made sure to do his research on the people attacking Riversea City and the Devilduke Family.
From what he gathered so far, the Water Nation sent out a little more than 25 Water Lords, matching the Devilduke's top forces pretty evenly. Moreover, they also had two far more powerful people on their side.
The first one was the Lightning Lunatic, while the second was Orarabo.
The former was still in a heated exchange with Lord Xiao, altering the topography of the City to their whims. Whereas Orarabo was fighting a Supreme Elder of the Devilduke Family as well as the City Lord of Riversea.
As for the last two Supreme Elders, they were battling the higher-ranking Water Lords from the opposing side.
Both of these two sides were far weaker than the First Supreme Elder and Orarabo, so naturally they were left to fight each other.
While attempting to come out on top, they also made sure to slaughter all the lower level scrubs of both sides.
This irked Lucifer greatly. After all, everything that was everything should be his loot to reap!
However, in spite of the urge to run out and kill everyone involved to make up for his losses, he knew that it was not yet the time.
Though it definitely wasn't too far off…
Lucifer nearly let a cunning grin form on his face when he thought about how close he was to the Peak Golden Core Formation Realm.
So far, his Battle Power was around here:
[Battle Power: Late Golden Core Formation Realm (High)]
This was to say that he was inching ever closer to the chasm that separated the Late and Peak Golden Core Realm!
He had already advanced his |Sword Slash| into the Peak-Mortal Rank, while his |Mystic Confluence| was of the 3rd Order. Which was to say that there was truly only one thing that could tip him over the edge…
"A breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm." Lucifer murmured to himself, an expectant smirk creeping up his lips.
Such a breakthrough would definitely be able to send him rocketing into the Peak Golden Core Realm, and then some!
This was da way!
This was what he had to do in order to conquer these lands in their entirety!
…
After 10 minutes of consolidation, the time for a breakthrough finally arrived, and Lucifer was ready to show it who the fucking boss was!
WAaa…
Before he even got to figure out what had happened, his cultivation broke through into the Foundation Establishment Realm…
His foundation was perfect, and it could begin to progress to higher levels of perfection!
However, Lucifer was still trying to understand what the fuck was going on!!
"I only took 950 of those Foundation Establishment Building Pills! How the hell was I able to instantly breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm!?" Lucifer looked down at his muscular hands like he was looking at a freak.
"Maybe I'm just too awesome…? Yes, that has to be it!"
He decided on this narcissistic notion being the case, completely overlooking the sheer number of pills he devoured.
Let alone 900, even 10 Perfect Foundation Building Pills would be enough for someone to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm with a perfect foundation under the right circumstances!
Consuming 900 of them not only allowed Lucifer to instantly breakthrough to the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, but it also enabled him to obtain a firm grasp on his current cultivation base!
"Welp, now that I'm in the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, I should be able to…"
OOOM!
Lucifer released a crimson-colored energy, letting it envelop his body in a thin, crisp filament of Qi.
"Yep, I can indeed start to refine my body."
One might've thought that this was some form of shield or protection mechanism, but in reality, it was something that encapsulated him in a layer of energy. Then, with painful doses, it would inflict immense amounts of damage on Lucifer's body.
It covered him from the top of his head, all the way down to his toes. Thus, defying all logic, it actively refined his entire body!
Furthermore, the best part of it all was that it could be activated for as long as there was the smallest amount of energy present in the body!
"Using an extremely basic version of the Godfiend's Refining Technique, this is made possible. But if I wish to progress past the Gold Rank, I will definitely need to create my own unique Body Refinement Physique."
Lucifer brooded over the matter of this new source of strength, thinking of a future far ahead of him.
Before getting ahead of himself and aiming for beyond the Gold Rank, he first had to achieve the Copper Rank…
