Chapter 105: Super Clone Essence, Fending Off The Monsters
...…..
"You really think some imaginary wall is enough to stop me from reaching the next realm?? Ha! Well, that's what the fuck you think!" Putting his whole existence into breaking down that wall, Lucifer smashed it down in half an instant.
OOOM!
Breaking through to the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, his Battle Power also increased accordingly!
Early Soul Transformation Realm (Early)
Early Soul Transformation Realm (Middle)
Early Soul Transformation Realm (Late)
Early Soul Transformation Realm (Peak)
Early Soul Transformation Realm (Limit)
Middle Soul Transformation Realm (Initial)
With a major qualitative improvement occurring inside of Lucifer, more and more screeches resounded in the ominous surroundings. Attracted by both the strong aura and the corpse of the Demonbird, Low-Level Nightmare Beasts dashed through the dead forests and swarmed the small bunker.
"Ahh…" Looking out at all the monstrous creatures trying to get into his bunker, Lucifer knew exactly how he would acquire the necessary strength to break out of his mud container.
With his current power, he could more effectively pick up rocks and sticks, but he still wasn't strong enough to leave the bunker. And even if he was, it was highly unlikely that he and Li Yan would survive through the night with all those terrifying monsters outside…
Therefore, Lucifer decided to farm the Nightmare Creatures with a rather 'unorthodox' approach.
FWIP! FWIP!
Spawning in the maximum number of clones he could manage in this tight space, Lucifer pointed to them and shouted, "Those rocks and debris! Stick that shit into the mouths of those ugly fuckers!"
"Roger!"
Even though both Lucifer and his clones already instinctively knew what they needed to do, it was more exciting to throw around orders like an Army Commander!
"Hup!"
"Hup!"
"Hup!"
Picking up the large rocks at the same intervals, Lucifer and his clones heaved them up into the air, letting them glide into the gaping holes of the dumbass Nightmare creatures!
"Esceeetch!!!"
"Roaarrrr!!!"
"Hssssss~!!"
A large number of huge, scary Nightmare Creatures slowly but surely started to choke. With so many massive things in their throats, how could they not!?
Before long, there were dozens of monster corpses laying right outside the bunker, stacked on top of the first Demonbird…
"Good job, boys. This is a win for the OG's."
Transforming his face to match that of a Jojo character, Lucifer stood with his hands behind his back, looking at all the system notifications bombarding his vision.
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed 7 Demonbirds, 4 Shadow Wraiths, 6 Void Stalkers, 12 Dreadfiends, 8 Dream Eaters, and 3 Black Maws. The reward is 3.5 Super Clone Essence!]
[Ding! Each Middle Soul Transformation Realm Clone costs 1 Super Clone Essence in order to spawn!]
"1 Super Clone Essence for a single clone… You know it took killing more than a dozen Late Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Creatures to acquire that much, right?? Are you trying to tell me to fight stronger enemies or something!?"
[Ding! Yes, the host is right for once! Stop being a pussy and fight something far stronger than yourself! The path to Infinity is a long and hard one! There is only the route that leads to immense pain for you, my dear host!]
"..."
"Not even worth the effort." Turning his head away from the system interface, Lucifer walked to the bunker crack once more. Sending out his slimy black tendrils, he absorbed the essence of all the piled corpses.
Half-Step Golden Core Realm (Early)
Half-Step Golden Core Realm (Middle)
The effects on cultivation were far less substantial this time around, but that was to be expected, especially when including diminishing returns in the equation.
As for Battle Power…
Middle Soul Transformation Realm (Early)
Middle Soul Transformation Realm (Middle)
"Ahh… Hmm… I feel like I was already pretty close to achieving the 'Early' state prior to this massacre, so really only one minor breakthrough in Battle Power…"
Realizing that the system was completely serious about actively working to find and defeat stronger opponents, Lucifer let out a heavy sigh and moved toward the two exits.
Testing out his strength, he figured out that he could move the medium-sized boulders, but the large and massive boulders were still beyond his strength…
"Hmm… It seems the grind must persist. Well, it is eternal, so this is only natural…" A cold smile crept up his handsome face as he looked out at all the large shadows inching ever closer to the bunker.
At the very minimum, the Nightmare Creatures were of the Late Soul Transformation Realm. And then there were a few in the Peak Soul Transformation Realm…
"Well, for those ones, I doubt these medium-sized rocks will be enough to stuff them, so I will need to use some alternatives." Suddenly looking at the goth midget sleeping on his head, Lucifer lightly tapped her on the cheek before saying, "You awake, sleepy head?"
"..."
Abruptly opening up her crystal clear, blue eyes, Li Yan bobbed her head up and down. "Mhmm… Not asleep… Watching Big Brother beat up the monsters…" she muttered.
"Ahh, I see. Well, would you like to beat up the monsters with Big Brother?" Sporting a toothy grin, Lucifer was like the incarnation of the slippery-tongueed devil.
Luckily for him, the 'innocent' little girl was far too much of a brother-con to deny his request. Thus, it was no surprise that she said, "Yes… Would like to beat up the dumb monsters…" Not able to convey her feelings in her tone, Li Yan tightened her grip on Big Bro's head, clearly trying to show how much she wanted to be of some help.
Patting the soft black hair of the midget, Lucifer said, "Well, then I have just the job for you, my dear! See those big 20-foot monsters over there?" Pointing toward a few lanky black creatures walking beside the equally tall trees, Lucifer's grin only widened.
Then, with a hint of anticipation in his voice, he said, "I'm gonna need you to use an Early-Earth Rank Formation based on the Poison Element. Can you do that for Big Brother…?"
Getting lost in the pretty dark red pools of blood on her brother's face, Li Yan didn't know what else to say besides, "Never made an Earth-Rank Formation… but will try… for Big Brother…"
Ruffle!
Ruffling his little sister's hair, Lucifer displayed a dazzling smile and said, "Dat a girl! If you can help me with this, then we can go wherever you want after we're done with this!"
Tilting her head down in embarrassment, Li Yan nodded and mumbled, "Mhmm…" after which she got right to working on the Poison Formation Scripture that her Big Bro had handed her to study.
"With her helping me with that, I will deal with these big fuckers in the meantime!"
"Esceeetch!!!"
With hundreds of terrifying creatures of the worst shapes and sizes, Lucifer had all the farming material he needed!
And the best part of it all was that not even the Peak Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Creatures could reach him in the bunker!
They were all fucking helpless!!!
WHAM! WHAM!
Taking a few Peak-Sky Rank metal bats from his storage ring, Lucifer and the clones started to put the rocks and sparse debris straight into the throats of the monsters!
After roughly 7 minutes of slowly killing the Nightmare Beasts, a good half of the 400 had already died. But with their numbers only increasing over time, the original 400 became more than 1300…
"They really do come in droves! Holy hell!!" Swinging his bat around like a professional baseball player, Lucifer was doing his utmost to suffocate everything that entered his sight!
Although he had not managed to kill any Peak Soul Transformation Realm Monsters, the sheer amount of Late Soul Transformation Realm Monster deaths was staggering…
When the 500th Nightmare monster succumbed to Lucifer's unparalleled batting technique, Li Yan finally made some progress in learning the Early-Earth Rank Formation.
"Almost done, Big Brother… Just need a couple more minutes…" Sweating bullets from all sides of her forehead, Li Yan put her all into mastering the Poison Formation.
"Hai, very well, little squirt. Finish that up real quick so we can go out and explore this brand new, loot-filled world!"
WAM! WAM!
Stuffing the mouths of two more monsters, Lucifer watched them choke out and die!
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed two Bloodshades in the Late Soul Transformation Realm. The reward is 0.4 Super Clone Essence!]
Briefly glancing at one of many system notifications, Lucifer got right back to whacking rocks into some more of the big fuckers!
…
When a total of 20 minutes had passed, more than 2500 Nightmare Monsters had died, and over 8000 Super Clone Essence had been acquired.
However, even with such casualties, there were still a little over 40,000 Nightmare Monsters outside the bunker…
With such a massive force actively working to get into the bunker, its outer layer had already been severely cracked. And if Lucifer wasn't wrong in his assumptions, it would likely only take 10 more minutes for the monsters to get in the bunker and devour them.
Fortunately, the Low-Earth Rank 'Poison Harbinger' Formation had just been perfected by the little formation genius, Li Yan!
