Chapter 124: Let's Take A Little Journey!

...

"Hmm... I am Overpowered, but am I overpowered enough? The answer is obviously no!"

Right after consolidating his breakthrough, the first thing Lucifer did was skim through his knowledge bank and take out anything pertaining to the Spirit Cultivation Path!

Creating mirror, physical copies of whatever he had stored within his mind, he ultimately picked the most suitable one out of the lot. Namely, it was an unparalleled technique called 'Spirit Dominance'.

"Spirit Dominance should be all I need to embark on the Spirit Path. And with a few minor adjustments to the technique, I was able to get it to work in unison with my Unity Cultivation Technique."

OOOM!

As Lucifer actively circulated a technique that passively cultivated all of his various cultivation paths, he also made sure to make use of both his crack stock and the Formation Arrays that the girls made for him. All of them were of the Middle Heaven Rank, which meant they more than enough to improve his cultivation speed by a few dozen times what it once was.

And then there was his pill (crack) stock, which was almost entirely comprised of the Tribulation Transcendance Rank pills that he and his clones concocted on a daily basis.

"Speaking of the Alchemy Slave Force, they have been doing quite well as of late, even going so far as to say that they have contributed tremendously to the grandest cause of all! One might say that they have only been feeding a problem, and they would be correct! I do have a problem, and with this problem, I overdose on medical ingredients! But so what!? Kakaka!"

A peel of maniacal laughter echoed out within the personal cultivation room of the mentally insane man known as Lucifer!

With the name of the Fallen Angel Lucifer, how could he not be crazy!? Wouldn't it be more crazy to see him not crazy!?

The time was nigh and the moon was red-!

Wham!

Slamming open the door to his humble abode, a busty elf woman rushed in and looked around in a flurry. Upon locating the person she was looking for, Shun Wen hurried over to him and grabbed him by his shoulders!

"What is it-?" Interrupting him, Shun Wen said:

"My father! He's coming to kill you for real! I-I may or may not have accidentally told him about the sensual nights that we have shared since we met each other on that fateful encounter!"

Smack!

Whacking her across the nogging, Lucifer shouted, "What the hell 'sensual night' are you talking about!? What bullsh*t fateful encounter!? Woman, are you fucking insane!?"

Taking his focus off the pouting girl for a second, Lucifer sent out his Divine Sense and saw the Nightsorrow Emperor's blazing aura trail toward his location from miles away!

Even though he was only in the 1st Stage of Tribulation Transcendance and Lucifer could take care of him quite easily, the stubborn Emperor also brought along the guardians of the Empire and his grandfather!

The Nightsorrow Guardians had been around since the founding of the Empire and traveled with the current Nightsorrow Emperor's father.

'Just keep swimming... Just keep swimming...'

Using this classic chant to keep his path steady and constant, Lucifer sped through the portal. Upon making it out the other side, he moved without hesitation and slashed the connection that stuck together two points in space.

With the brightly fluctuating purple gate shattering behind him, Lucifer set down Xue Lan and Shun Wen. Speaking up, he said, "You girls... you saw nothing, alright...?"

"Uh uh uh uh!" They both nodded in unison. Quickly, they took their attention away from Lucifer and observed their surroundings.

"Is this the Mortal Realm!? I've never been to the Mortal Realm! It's so pretty and bright!"

"The Mortal Realm... Lucifer's homeworld... It's nice..."

One was more outgoing in both her speech and actions, while the other was more refined and restrained. Though no matter how they acted, they both found the Mortal Realm beautiful.

With the rays of sunlight beating down on the earth from above, the world looked like a metaphor. On the edge of one's tongue, and yet not there just yet, it was like emerging from the shadows, only to find yourself inside a mindboggling gorgeous painting.

From their bleak and dreary worlds, Xue Lan and Shun Wen bore witness to a place that could only be found in their wildest dreams. It was a surreal feeling, to say the least.

But the question still remained...

"Where are we...?"

Looking left then right, and then left and right again, Lucifer still couldn't find any memorable landmarks.

The location they landed on was a wide, pointy cliff looking over a world rife with spirited scenery and diverse terrain. The land itself was split up into a large assortment of islands, all of which stayed just a few miles away from each other. From their vantage point, it looked nothing short of thousands of Islands coming together as a funky-looking puzzle.

As for what it was shaped to look like...

"A Dragon...? Considering that I've never heard of a dragon-shaped island grouping in or near the Elemental Nations, this must be somewhere else in the Tianwu Continent. Based off the Qi Density of this place, we should be somewhere far higher in level than the Elemental Nations..."

Sensing the Qi around himself, Lucifer compared it to the Qi density of the Elemental Nations. From this comparison, he learned that it was at least a thousand times greater.

In the distance, he could also sense unknown existences with cultivation well beyond the Soul Transformation Realm, which was the peak for the Elemental Nations.

"Void Refinement...? Unity Form Synthesis... Tribulation Transcendance...? Some even higher than that??"

Lucifer had no clue what sort of place he landed in, but what he did know was that this was not how things were supposed to go...

'Am I not the protagonist?? I was supposed to enter a mid-level area after the Elemental Nations and still be considered pretty strong! But here I am as a weak piece of trash in a level that I was for sure not supposed to travel to this early..."
