Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 49: Holding Back, Then Striking Back!

...…

By the time Lucifer arrived at the scene, one could say that he was pleasantly surprised to find out that his father was engaged in a battle with a wizened old man who wore blue robes. This was Shin Bo, one of the top three leaders in the operation.

At that moment, Shin Bo and Lucifer's father were locked in combat on the ground, repeatedly sending each other flying through the air using various powerful, high-level techniques. Their clashes left gaping holes in the sides of mountains, yet they would always reemerge from the other side with an even greater determination to continue the fight.

From what Lucifer could discern, both were at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, thus equally matching their Battle Power.

"Maybe I should interfere…?" Lucifer mused, raising an eyebrow as he watched the two godlike figures clash on the ground, his eyes gleaming with the possibility of profit.

"Nah, that probably wouldn't end well…"

In the end, he shook his head in resignation. Although he was confident in his current strength, he knew that there was just no way in hell that he could hope to benefit anything from a battle at this level.

This fact was further reinforced with the arrival of countless onlookers, all of whom were in or above the Late Core Formation Realm!

This sight forced a small frown to appear on Lucifer's face, displeased that he had missed such a great opportunity.

However, in the end, he knew the importance of patience, and now was simply not the time to fight.

With this in mind, Lucifer walked away from the tree canopy he had been standing on and walked away. His destination was a different battlefield, where he sensed several dozen Core Formation Realm Experts engaged in combat. Among them, he recognized a rather familiar aura.

One that might require the use of his main body…

_____

After gliding through the air undetected for a few seconds, Lucifer ultimately reached his destination. Which to his surprise, just so happened to be where his mother and a few of his cousins were fighting.

Who were they fighting?

Well, of course, it was more experts from the Water Nation, all riding on top of massive Spiritual Beasts that breathed fire and threw spells at all their enemies.

"Now this… This, I can gain some benefits from," a cold smile crept up Lucifer's face as he snuck around to the rear of the ongoing battles.

He found himself right behind the butt of a giant boar monster and its rider. This was clearly some form of rear guard for the Water Nation, but for Lucifer, it was an opportunity!

With both the bear and its rider in the Late Core Formation Realm, Lucifer knew that he had to play his cards right. Luckily, he did this quite easily. He tiptoed toward the towering, two-hundred-meter beast, carefully positioning himself.

When he was just a few inches away from the enormous boar, he unsheathed his sword!

"!!!" "!!!"

Both the boar and its rider sensed the killing intent erupting behind but by the time they could even think of reacting, Lucifer slashed deeply into the soft tissue of the boar's back left ankle.

SPURT!

Blood gushed from the wound as the beast's leg was nearly severed at the base!

"ROAARGGHH!!" The Boar roared in agony.

THUD!

It toppled over, crashing to the ground and falling onto its butt, instantly flinging off the Water Nation Rider!

FWIP!

The rider had no trouble teleporting out of midair, reappearing on the boar's rear, searching for whoever dared to provoke his Spiritual Beast.

"To have the balls to attack my Spiritual Beast! You are surely courting death!!"

The Water Nation Rider scanned the surroundings, desperately trying to spot any trace of the unseen assailant. But to no avail…

"Where the hell are you, bastard!!?"

"I'm right here."

"!!!"

A raspy voice hissed out from behind the Water Nation Rider as he swiveled his head behind, only to realize that it was the worst possible mistake he could've made.

SPURT!

A blade hurdles from behind, aiming straight for his stomach!

"!?!?"

Sensing another deadly intent emerge from where he just turned, the rider whipped his head once again.

But just as he was about to take care of the second attacker, yet another sword aura of equal ferocity appeared from a different direction.

And then another… and another… and another, and another, and another…from every direction!

"!?!?"

The Water Nation Rider had spun his head around so many times that he had started to get dizzy, forcing his mind to falter just as his body struggled to keep up.

Add that to the fact that there were already more than 100 Middle Core Formation Realm Killing Intents locked onto him, and well…

This buddy was absolutely fucked.

He was fucked beyond belief.

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!

The Water Nation Expert was penetrated so many times that even a slutty whore would lose out in penetration count.

Suffice it to say, the Water Nation bozo was dead, with no hope for resurrection.

BLING!

[Ding! You have killed a Late Core Formation Realm Water Nation Rider!]

[Ding! You have obtained 10.2 Septillion Clone Essence!]

As these system notifications echoed in his mind, Lucifer approached the rider's corpse and absorbed his essence.

WAAA!

This immediately resulted in a massive surge in his cultivation base!

"Devil Arts truly are the greatest thing to ever come to existence."

Lucifer sported a wide, toothy grin, feeling his cultivation rise to the Peak of the 2nd Stage of Qi Condensation!

With this boost in cultivation, he looked inside his Dantian Space and noticed that his first Qi Cyclone had already been fully charged and his second Qi Cyclone was on the verge of overflowing!

"This is a nice little boon…"

Lucifer also sensed that his Battle Power was verging on the Late Core Formation Realm. It wasn't wrong to say that everything was falling right into place.

Following the appraisal of his most recent benefits, Lucifer turned his attention to the injured Boar Beast.

He decided to quickly put an end to its suffering with a few… hundred cuts...
