Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!
Chapter 24: Daylight Robbery!

...…..

A few seconds flashed by in the blink of an eye as a tall young man with semi-exquisite facial features found himself standing in front of an interpass. Ahead of him were more than a dozen cave entrances, each glowing with a different color.

This place was completely different from the previous Blank/Fire Spiritual Pool that Lucifer had gone to, which was situated in a separate area at the back of the Mansion.

On the other hand, the pool he was visiting today had a lower Qi Density than the Blank/Fire one, but the sheer variety of caves more than compensated for that.

With this in his mind, Lucifer walked up to the first of the many caves, its entrance lined in dark yellow, clearly indicating the Lightning Element. On the outside of the cave, occasional sparks of electricity flickered, and thunderbolts were etched into the exterior walls. But in front of this Cave, there was…

"No one…?"

Lucifer looked around and found no one. It was almost like the place was vacant.

He wondered why this was the case until he made it to the entrance of the Lightning Elemental Cave and immediately figured out the reason for both his questions.

FWAZIP!

A dark yellow filament of electricity barred his entry, not allowing him to enter into the cave.

"???"

He felt around on the elemental filament and instantly realized that there was no way in hell he could forcefully break it open…

"A Sky Rank Barrier? It would take a Core Formation Realm Warrior to break it… Why would such a powerful entity be interested in a small Spiritual Pool?"

But soon everything came together inside Lucifer's head. There were no guards simply because none were necessary, and the reason for the absence of the people here was…

|In order to use the Spiritual Pool, you must pay up. Going Rate: 2 Lowest Ranked Spiritual Stones per hour.|

A series of bubbly words materialized on the lightning filament and the reason for the empty space now became evident to him.

"2 Spiritual Stones per hour… They might as well rob me blind…"

If Lucifer hadn't separated his beast materials and had his clones sell them without raising any suspicions, then he would be rurally screwed right about now!

Luckily, killing tens of thousands of Spiritual Beasts had left him with a large surplus of wealth.

"48 Lowest Ranked Spiritual Stones. I want 24 hours in the Lightning Spiritual Pool."

As he uttered these soul-wrenching words, Lucifer's heart ached as he tossed a bag of Spiritual Stones into the Lightning Filament.

FWAZIP!

The bag vanished into thin air while the contents of the bag were taken to an unknown space.

Piang!

A moment later, the empty bag was spat back at the sorrowful young man and a new series of words formed on the lightning filament.

|Your Spiritual Stones have been accepted. You are permitted to stay in the Lightning Spiritual Pool for exactly 24 hours. If you stay inside for longer than this period of time…|

WAAAA!

An immense yellow aura exploded out of the Lightning Filament as its tranquil yellow energy wall turned deep red and spikes fluctuated from its surface.

|You will be removed by force.|

Following this announcement, the Lightning Filament returned to its peaceful and seemingly benign appearance.

"..."

Lucifer kept that hidden threat in mind, as even a doormat now had dared to control his actions.

Though his calm aura nearly erupted in full force, considering that it was just a door, Lucifer relaxed his nerves and walked through the filament.

'I'm sure it must be boring to stay cooped up in here all day. When I become strong enough to curb-stomp you, I'll make sure to show you a wild ride around town.'

Sinister thoughts swirled in his mind as he found himself a spot to settle in the deep yellow pool.

Similar to the first Fire Pool, this one also had a large boulder to separate the two sides of the pool. And though Lucifer wasn't sure of the purpose of these separators, he knew that he would surely replace out soon enough.

For now, his only focus was to advance his Lightning Elemental Body to Stage 5 or even Stage 6.

With his goals put to the test, he sat in a cross-legged position and began circulating the sparking Qi that filled the air around him.
