Chapter 35: Elemental Physique Galore!

......

Over a month and a half had passed since Lucifer's 'fateful encounter' with Shi Shun, the daughter of the Fire Nation's Head General.

By the end of the first week, Lucifer had finally managed to acquire his first Elemental Physique—the Fire Lord Physique.

Although it was only of the Late-Common Rank, it was good enough to significantly enhance his comprehension of the Fire Element by an increase of a few dozenfold.

This rapid improvement successfully allowed him to advance to a Stage 10 Fire Elemental Body within a matter of days!

After reaching this stage in his cultivation, Lucifer quickly gained the second Physique, followed by the third Physique... then the fourth Physique and the fifth Physique.

By the end of the third week, Lucifer had acquired more than 30 Physiques!

Several of those Physiques belonged to the same element, such as obtaining both the Water Serpent and Aqua Blitzer Physique, which belonged to the Water Element.

However, there were a few Elements like the Shadow and Light Elements, which had yet to activate a single Elemental Physique, leaving the Elemental Bodies of the same Element still lingering at the 9th Stage because of it.

Nevertheless, according to Lucifer's calculations, he had estimated that it would likely take no longer than a day or two before all his Elements had relevant Physiques.

WAAA!

Light Qi swirled within the Light Spiritual Cave as a young man with an extraordinary appearance attempted the impossible. He wanted to activate a Light Physique right after activating a counteracting Darkness Physique!

This would typically be deemed impossible; however, Lucifer wasn't one to adhere to conventional limits.

"What a weakass Light Qi! Can't you hit me any harder?? I mean, what are these chicken shit attacks!?"

Lucifer taunted the Light Qi in the air, trying to provoke a reaction out of it.

After a moment or two, his challenge seemed to have worked as the Light Qi assaulted his body with even greater fervor.

OOOM!

The Light Qi slashed his body repeatedly, not allowing him to even have the smallest break.

This continued for a total of 30 minutes, after which, something truly miraculous began to happen within Lucifer's body. His skin took on a lighter shade of resplendence as something truly brilliant erupted from within his Dantian Space!

WAAA!

'Shiny Shoes really does try her best to hide that pervertedness; she nearly fooled me back at the arena. But now that I know what kind of insane pervert she is, I can see that she is utterly dogshit at hiding anything...'

Lucifer could practically see the drool trickling down the corner of her lips as she eyed his body up and down like an insatiable hyena.

'Tsk tsk, what a lunatic this Shiny Shoey is...'

No matter how many times he tried to remember her name, Lucifer just couldn't bring himself to bother pronouncing it correctly.

"So... What are you doing here, you blazing perve- I mean, beautiful young miss?"

"What was that...?" Shi Shun asked, her brows raised high.

"I was just saying that you look absolutely stunning in that flowing sundress~ Oh, no amount of beauty could ever hope to compare to you~"

Lucifer smoothly saved himself with a Michael Jackson slide, slithering over to the frazzled pervert and tenderly rubbing her smooth shoulders.

"If only you could tell me what the hell- why you have graced this humble peasant with your divine presence?" he inquired, his warm breath trickling the insides of her ears.

"W-Well... Mmff~" Shi Shun let out a soft moan before she quickly covered her mouth with her hands. "Y-You need to go to the marriage ceremony... Don't you remember...?"

Her voice grew slightly glum toward the end. For some reason, she didn't like the thought of him forgetting all about their special day.

"Our special day... Guhehehe~" She mumbled incoherently with a dark, purple aura permeating the air around her.

'What the hell is up with chick...? She makes this seem like a slasher flick where I'm about to become her next victim...'

A shiver ran down Lucifer's spine as he really realized that he needed to figure out a way to get at least 10,000 miles away from this lunatic.

Luckily for him, his power was on the verge of something greater, almost enough to permit him entry into God's Chasm. But for that to happen, he first had to ditch his current identity and assume one that better suited his circumstances.

And he knew just how to make that happen...

"Oh, my lovely little wife~ I will never forget about this oh-so-grand day of bonding of our two souls together~ Truly, we must get to the wedding ceremony right away~"

Lucifer spoke all the right honeyed words and touched every acceptably sensitive spot on Shi Shun's body, guiding her toward the exit.

After eliciting all the reactions he wanted from her, she was prepped and ready for the next step of his intricate plan. But first, they needed to reach the Marriage Ceremony, so that's exactly what happened.

Or, at least, that was what should've happened according to the plan...

But if Lucifer and the bride arrived in an area full of powerful guests, his original plan would go into shambles, and he might be forced to marry the psycho for real. So in the end, Lucifer decided to commence the grand finale right in the middle of the bustling streets of Riversea City!
