What a Coincidence

Ever since the mutation occurred, the few followers had not even dared to breathe too loudly, afraid of disturbing the Young Master's absorption of the Spirit Ring.

When Lucifer took over the body, they were all utterly bewildered.

What was going on?

Why had the Young Master suddenly spoken in a man's voice? And why had her eyes become different colors?

Lucifer?

Who was that?

They knew nothing about Qian Renxue's Second Spirit and simply stood rooted to the spot like wooden statues.

"Get out of Xue'er's body!" Qian Daoliu already held a Golden Sword in his hand.

Boundless killing intent burst from him and bore down on Lucifer!

He knew that as long as he appeared resolute enough, Lucifer would not gamble on the slightest chance that he might show mercy!

Lucifer indeed would not gamble.

But neither would he allow things to repeat themselves again!

"Abyssal Rift!"

A purple-black rift opened beneath Lucifer's feet, and his entire body vanished into it in an instant!

Splat!

The next moment, a Golden Sword stabbed into the spot where he had just been standing!

"I was still one step too late!" Qian Daoliu's expression darkened.

The Seven Followers Group stared in stunned silence. "A Spatial Skill!"

They did not know the full story, but that did not stop them from being shocked by a Spatial Skill!

Even Qian Daoliu had been greatly surprised. Had he known Lucifer possessed a Spatial Skill, he would not have been one step too slow.

Spatial Skills were exceedingly rare on Douluo Continent.

The most famous was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—Two Extremes Stillness Domain.

Qian Daoliu was frantic, but at the moment, he had no idea which direction to pursue.

"Split up and search! You must find the Young Master!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order to the Seven Followers Group, a pair of golden wings appeared behind Qian Daoliu. With a beat of his wings, he soared into the air.

"You can't escape!"

One Peerless Douluo, two Spirit Douluos, and five Spirit Saints began searching through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dozens of kilometers away, a purple-black rift opened atop a massive boulder.

Lucifer stepped out of it.

Since he had not placed spatial coordinates in advance, Lucifer did not know which direction he was from his previous location.

It was random teleportation, but he was at least dozens of kilometers away.

"After this, Qian Daoliu should realize that refusing my terms will only bring endless trouble!"

"Perfect. I can take a stroll by myself and test out a few ideas!"

"But first, I need to replenish my Soul Power!"

Though this teleportation had only covered dozens of kilometers, it had instantly drained all of Qian Renxue's Soul Power!

If he did not replenish it, he would have to consume his own soul energy!

He was not about to make a losing deal!

Though Lucifer had yet to do anything too major since crossing over, he had already changed part of history's course.

His Repulsion Value had increased somewhat.

He opened the System Shop and exchanged for a bottle of Soul Recovery Potion!

Pulling out the stopper, Lucifer drank it in one gulp.

The Soul Recovery Potion turned into Soul Power the moment it entered his mouth, surging through his limbs and body.

Lucifer spread his wings and flew above the treetops to take a look around.

"This is... east of where I was before!"

After confirming his location, Lucifer returned to the ground and continued eastward.

The scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest was quite pleasant, so he treated it as a spring outing.

After flying for a while, Lucifer gained a rough understanding of the strength this body could currently wield.

"A five-ring Spirit King..."

Then, his soul form appeared, carrying the unconscious Qian Renxue as he flew east.

A Spirit King's speed was still far too slow compared to those people.

He had to make Qian Daoliu truly anxious. Otherwise, that old man would always think he could keep Lord Lucifer under control.

After flying a hundred kilometers, Lord Lucifer stopped.

This place was already far from their original location. Qian Daoliu definitely would not find it anytime soon.

So, Lord Lucifer could test out some of his ideas.

"Generally speaking, even a Detached Independent Spirit has certain distance limits from its Soul Master!"

"I need to test how far I can get from Qian Renxue."

Lord Lucifer couldn't keep circling around some little brat forever!

But leaving Qian Renxue here directly was too dangerous.

After all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest.

"I remember there seemed to be some items in the shop that could conceal one's aura!"

Lord Lucifer flipped through the shop pages, examining them carefully.

"Found it! Aura Shielding Water!"

"It lasts for half a shichen... That should be enough!"

With Lord Lucifer's speed, he would quickly be able to determine the distance.

Lord Lucifer placed Qian Renxue somewhere concealed, sprinkled her with Aura Shielding Water, and left.

The Aura Shielding Water was enough to handle ordinary situations.

Besides, Lord Lucifer and Qian Renxue shared their senses.

If Qian Renxue suffered any harm, he could return in an instant.

He would know when Qian Renxue woke up as well.

In short, he was fully confident.

Whoosh!

Lord Lucifer tore through the forest like lightning!

After flying ten kilometers, Lord Lucifer stopped.

"Once I reached this distance, the Soul Power consumption suddenly increased!"

Naturally, the Soul Power he consumed was drawn from Qian Renxue.

It was only natural for a spirit to use its Soul Master's Soul Power, alright?

Next, Lord Lucifer stopped flying at top speed and proceeded slowly instead.

After advancing another five kilometers, Lord Lucifer stopped again.

"The Soul Power consumption suddenly increased again!"

"And with Qian Renxue's current Soul Power reserves, she simply can't sustain it for long!"

At this point, he had a clear understanding.

From zero to ten kilometers, Soul Power consumption was very low, and distance had little effect.

From ten to fifteen kilometers, Soul Power consumption rose sharply and gradually increased with distance.

But at that rate of consumption, Qian Renxue could still endure it.

Once he passed fifteen kilometers, Soul Power consumption rose sharply once more. At that rate, Qian Renxue would not be able to endure for long.

"Though it isn't particularly far, compared to ordinary detached spirits, it's already absurd!"

"And the distance should increase as Qian Renxue's level rises!"

Having obtained the results, Lord Lucifer prepared to return.

But then, he suddenly sensed...

"There is a fairly powerful aura ahead!"

Out of curiosity, Lord Lucifer moved closer.

His power attribute was naturally adept at concealment. He refused to believe the other party could detect him!

"That is..."

Lord Lucifer saw an incomparably beautiful woman!

"Bibi Dong!"

"Why was she here?"

Lord Lucifer was utterly baffled!

But the next second, he figured it out.

"No!"

"That's not Bibi Dong!"

"Her aura is completely different from Bibi Dong's!"

Bibi Dong was beautiful, but her beauty was mixed with obsession and gloom, and her smile often carried a trace of mockery.

Any vulnerability she occasionally revealed would instantly be concealed by ruthlessness, creating a stark contrast.

She was like the Blood Moon upon the Throne of Thorns.

Though this woman looked exactly like Bibi Dong, her aura was like the morning mist in a forest, and her eyes were gentle as water, as if they could soothe all restlessness.

She was like a Spirit Spring deep within the forest!

Lucifer knew who she was—

"Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Transformation!"

"Xiao Wu's Mother!"

Lucifer's lips curled upward. "What a coincidence!"
