    "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 circted 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 entirelyprised of the Tribtion Transcendance Rank pills that he and his clones concocted on a daily basis.


    "Speaking of the Alchemy ve Force, they have been doing quite well as ofte, 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 maniacalughter 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!


    mming 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''sing to kill you for real! I-I may or may not have identally 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 zing aura trail toward his location from miles away!


    Even though he was only in the 1st Stage of Tribtion 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.


    They had all exceeded the Tribtion Transcendance Realm and they wereing straight for him with nothing but death on their minds!


    "Well, shit… I''m so screwed…"


    Helplessly staring at the downtrodden busty elf, Lucifer couldn''t help but wonder if all the nutrients meant for her brain went right toward her milkers…


    In the end, he heaved a sigh and said, "Guess it''s time to make an escape and return to the Mortal Realm."


    "???"


    Snapping out of her sorrowful reverie, Shun Wen looked up at the absurdly handsome raven-haired man. "You''re leaving…? Leaving me…?" She tearfully asked.


    "Why, my love…" cupping her cheeks and stealing her gaze, Lucifer''s evil smirk widened and he said, "Of course I''m leaving! But since you have proven your usefulness time and time again, I guess I wouldn''t mind bringing you along as say… extra baggage?" Showing off his shark-like teeth, he dazzled the elf beauty with just his natural charm.


    Without thinking a single second further, Shun Wen fervently said, "Yes, yes, yes, I''ll do it! Anything you want and I''ll do it!"


    "Very well, then let''s ditch this ce and take a little journey!"


    shing the most dazzling smile that Shun Wen had ever seen, Lucifer grabbed her sensually. Curving her tender back with his finger tips, he pulled her to his chest and pressed her curvaceous body up against his own.


    With a blushing beauty attached to him, Lucifer then phased throughout the house and snatched up Li Yan and Xue Lan as well!


    "???" "???"


    They were shocked about what just happened to them, but when they saw who''s arms they were all in, they rxed their guards and decided to ask him about itter.


    Even though Shun Wen and Xue Lan ultimately ended up in the sack of potatoes position, that didn''t stop them from daydreaming of their prince picking them up and dashing away from all their troubles.


    While lost in their own delusional thoughts, Li Yan sat above Lucifer''s head and directed the horsey to go wherever he was already going. It seemed like she was having fun, so Lucifer let her be and continued to ceaselessly leap off the ground.


    Heading for a secret Inter dimensional portal that he had one of his clones set up a couple days ago with the help of Li Yan, Lucifer also spawned in trillions of clones. After which, he instructed them to go through with the farming grind, even while he was not present in the same realm.


    After all was said and done, Lucifer and the gang stood above a crackling purplish gate hidden behind a discreet mountain valley path.


    "You bastard!!! What are you doing with my daughter!?"


    "My granddaughter!! What have you done, you fiend!? Kowtow, cut off your arms, and cripple your cultivation base, then maybe you can get out of this with your life intact!!"


    In front of the interdimensional gate, Lucifer was interrupted by two furious voices, both of which came with their very own fuming owners.


    "Uhmm… I think we need to get a move on right away."


    Hurriedly pushing the girls through the interdimensional gate with him, Lucifer not once looked back behind him; he simply kept moving forward.


    ''Just keep swimming… Just keep swimming…''


    Using this ssic 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 shed 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 ce 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 memorablendmarks.


    The location theynded on was a wide, pointy cliff looking over a world rife with spirited scenery and diverse terrain. Thend itself was split up into arge assortment of inds, all of which stayed just a few miles away from each other. From their vantage point, it looked nothing short of thousands of Indsing 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 ind grouping in or near the Elemental Nations, this must be somewhere else in the Tianwu Continent. Based off the Qi Density of this ce, we should be somewhere far higher in level than the Elemental Nations…"


    Sensing the Qi around himself, Luciferpared it to the Qi density of the Elemental Nations. From thisparison, 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… Tribtion Transcendance…? Some even higher than that??"


    Lucifer had no clue what sort of ce hended 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…"
