Chapter 7: 80% Tempering Marrow Realm
...…
As the hours on the clock ticked, time quietly slipped within Young Master Lucifer's chambers.
A total of fifteen hours had passed since he began his alchemy session.
And for the very first time in these fifteen hours, Lucifer stood up from his spot, leaving a pool of sweat on the floor before walking toward the private bathroom in his chambers.
He quickly undressed himself before pouring a basin of cold water over his head. After which, he submerged himself inside an ice-water tub.
The ice itself was created using a form of ice magic and the bathwater was also something conjured up by a magical instrument— tools that made life more easier and comfortable for the cultivators.
However, Lucifer wasn't looking for comfort; he only wanted to cleanse the impurities from his body. And as the grime washed down his back, the task was swiftly accomplished.
While the dirt and filth drained away in significant quality, Lucifer took a glance at all the pills he stored inside his personal storage ring.
Most of the pills were of the lowest quality, while there were very few low-quality ones and even fewer trash-quality pills.
All of the aforementioned pills were the same. After all, there was no need for any other type of pill given Lucifer's current stage.
However, that didn't concern him. Every journey in life needs to be taken one step at a time, and rushing was never a wise idea.
"With these two hundred lowest-quality and fifteen low-quality Affirmation Marrow Pills, I should be able to break through not only to the 20% Tempering Marrow Stage but also to the 40% Tempering Marrow Stage."
With these words, and without any hesitation, Lucifer wasted no time and threw three of the lowest-quality pills into his mouth!
WAAA!

A mild burst of Qi erupted from his stomach, escaping his body and permeating the white interior of the bathroom. Then, with even greater vigor, the Qi collapsed back into his muscular frame!
The Qi swirled within every fiber of his being as it refined his marrow, pulled to the Pulse Condensation Realm without wasting a single drop.
When the sparse energy within his outer body reached a sufficient point, it drilled its way into the core of his being, surrounding his marrow like a wall of titanium, actively refining its essence.
After a few minutes of refinement, Lucifer opened his eyes to witness a new realm of existence, sensing that the boundary between the two minor realms was on the verge of collapse.
And that was when it happened…
CRACK—
With the cracking and eventual shatter of an intangible barrier, a breakthrough was made, and a new level of power washed through Lucifer's body!
His physical prowess increased at least tenfold!
The previous version of him was nowhere in sight gone forever, leaving behind a man who could now be considered an aspiring elite of the Devilduke household!
After all, achieving the 20% Tempering Marrow Realm by the age of 18 was considered quite an achievement within the Devilduke family.
If only they knew how fast he had advanced from the Early Pulse Condensation Stage to this level…
They'd surely cough up blobs of blood before croaking right there, and then if they ever did hear of such ludicrous information!
However, Lucifer was far from having finished with his quest for power advancements. After all, he still had hundreds of more pills to gobble up…
With new ambitions driving him, he continued his relentless pursuit of ever-increasing strength, devouring low-common-rank pills like a man who would die of hunger.
…
Six hours later.
It had been over 20 hours since Lucifer went into seclusion, and though no one except Lu Lu had noticed his absence, it was only a matter of time before people came knocking on his door.
Fortunately for him, with his marrow now refined to 50%, he estimated that he wouldn't need more than another 10 hours to reach a full 100% Marrow Refinement!
'If I can accomplish this, then I can begin testing out this Clone Feature. And if it's as effective as I believe it'll be, I will have no problem in proceeding with the next phase of my plan.'
Lucifer was determined to seize every available opportunity, letting nothing slip through his grasp.
This long-established principle had guided him for some time now, but he made sure to occasionally remind himself of it so as not to stray from his path.
Nevertheless, that was just something he kept at the forefront of his mind as he continued consuming the lowest-quality common-rank pills.
…
After another seven hours of continuously refining the low-common-rank Affirmation Marrow Pills, Lucifer eventually reached a point where he was on the brink of breaking past the 80% tempering milestone.
He needed just a few more minutes to successfully make a breakthrough. But, at the pace he was advancing, that brief span of time passed in the blink of an eye.
When the breakthrough finally looked him in the face, he churned all the energy inside of his marrow, pushing it to its limits with everything he had.
'Just break already!'
With these commanding words, the barrier inside him shattered, releasing a flood of power that surged through his being!
With the wall between the 79% and 80% marks obliterated in one fell swoop, Lucifer no longer had anything obstructing his way of refining the last 20% of his marrow.
"I am almost there. Just one final stretch and I will reach the absolute peak of the Body Refinement Realm."
Normally, even for a genius it would take dozens of years to breakthrough into the 100% Marrow Refining Stage, with some never even able to reach it no matter how much they cultivated.
However, there stood a freak who managed to reach the Peak of the Body Refinement Realm within just two days of his Transmigration…
