Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 54: Killing Ping Yin, Abundant Rewards

.....

After a few minutes of back and forth between Lucifer, his clones, and Ping Yin, the winner was finally on the verge of being decided.

Even though 12 of the clones died in this endeavor, Lucifer felt that he was close to tipping the explosive battle into his favor.

"WORM!!!!!"

Ping Yin roared, his large hands beating his spike covered chest as he looked like a demonic King Kong. Except he was the version of King Kong that was most definitely on steroids!

"This big fucker just doesn't know when to give up."

SHING! SHING!

Lucifer and all his clones sent out numerous fifty-meter wide sword arcs, aiming his and all the other clones' attacks on the exact same spot.

Ping Yin's outer skin was extremely tough with the new transformation. Thus, focused strikes like these ones were necessary if Lucifer wished to get into the gooey insides of this stupid monstrosity.

SPURT!

It was only after the ten thousandth Sword Arc plunged into the deep wound on Ping Yin's body that he finally fell down.

Thud!

The monstrosity died right then and there. With its Core shattered and its heart crushed, the existence known as Ping Yin was no more.

"Do… Do I wanna loot this freak? I mean, those parts on his back should definitely be worth something…"

Lucifer contemplated the matter of skinning some human/monster hybrid, ultimately deciding that it would be best if he… looted the sh*t out of it!!

"No matter where the loot comes from, loot is still loot in the end!"

Lucifer sang a quaint tune while slashing away at the outer hide of the beast.

Even though it was extremely tough to carve the hide and horns off its body, everything was worth it in the end. After all, these materials could definitely be used in the creation of a Late-Mortal Rank Treasure Weapon!

Spurt!

As Lucifer finished up the gutting of the monkey, a number of system notifications rang off inside his head.

BLING!

[Ding! You have killed a Human/Monster Abomination that was one step away from achieving the Early Golden Core Formation Realm. The reward is 80 Nonillion Clone Essence!]

"80 Nonillion… Though it could be better, I guess that's not too bad." Lucifer muttered to himself, quickly finding his way to the top of the nearest mountain.

The mountain itself was in shambles, with holes and chunks of earth gouged out of every inch of the land. However, the setting sun to the west and the faint smell of embers made for the perfect ambiance.

"That woman… This is the part where I go and treat her back to health, isn't it…?" Lucifer looked away from the setting sun, instead putting his focus on a woman leaning against a tree at the mountain's base.

She had somehow come out of the chaotic destruction without a scratch on her, which put a slight frown on Lucifer's face.

"If she got hurt some more, I likely would have benefited from another 'arduous' healing session."

He was sorely disappointed in the sequence of events, but that didn't stop him from passing by the corpses of not only the gorilla but also of the other elders.

He absorbed every ounce of essence they possessed in their bodies. After which, he walked toward the unconscious woman and watched his cultivation skyrocket!

{[Middle of 6th Stage Qi Condensation]}

{[Peak of 6th Stage Qi Condensation]}

{[Initial of 7th Stage Qi Condensation]}

{[Early of 7th Stage Qi Condensation]}

WAAA!

By the end of the breakthrough spam, Lucifer's cultivation firmly planted itself inside the 7th Stage of Qi Condensation.

6 of his Qi Cyclones were fully filled, while the 7th one was around a third of the way filled with Qi.

As for his Battle Power, well, it was infinitely close to breaching over into the Early Golden Core Formation Realm!

Lucifer would likely only need one more Peak Core Formation Realm Cultivator in order to make that barrier between realms vanish into thin air.

"One more Peak Core Formation Realm Cultivator…" He glanced over at the soundly sleeping woman.

A woman that just so happened to be in the absolute peak of the Peak Core Formation Realm…

"Maybe… Hmm…"

Lucifer brooded over the choices he could make in this situation.

He could kill her and obtain immediate benefits…

Or he could let her live and play the part of the Rising Heavenly Genius of the Devilduke Family.

The first choice sounded quite enticing to Lucifer in the heat of the moment. However, he knew deep down that the correct option to make was the later one. Plus, all that acting he did earlier would've been for naught if he didn't go through with a solid follow-up.

With this in mind, Lucifer let a soft sigh escape his lips. After which, he took long strides over to the sleeping beauty.

He proceeded to…

Whack! Whack!

Violently slap her across the face!

"Whatzz da hell!?!??" Fu Wen awoke in a stupor, quickly feeling the stinging pain on both sides of her face.

"Aunt, there was an extremely powerful monster that just passed by! But luckily for you, I took care of it lickity split!"

Lucifer grabbed the puzzled and pained Milf by her slender arms, dragging her to a more discreet location of the tree's shadowy canopy.

"Trust me, Aunt Big- Aunt big… beautiful aunt! I made sure to take care of the monsters that were after you! There truly is no need to worry about anything anymore!"

He always forgot her name, and even if she told him her name, he would likely forget it all the same.

"???"

Fu Wen observed the ragged clothing on her nephew and smelt the fresh scent of iron-filled blood. Even though she was not there to personally witness it, she could infer what had occurred.

"Were you really able to defeat Ping Yin and the other Peak Core Formation Realm Water Nation Elders…?"

She could hardly believe it herself, but there was no other reasonable explanation for what was happening.

She would already be dead by now if Ping Yin was not somehow thwarted…

However, the question still remained…

'How was he able to do it…? It shouldn't be possible for someone as young as him…'

...…
