Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

If the man really had her soul, that meant resurrecting her would be easy. As long as Alex helped and gave him the right material,

Usually, creating a new body was not this simple. The hardest part was getting a pure life force to animate the body, allowing it to enter a state where the soul could bind itself inside.

Taking another person's body was also a choice, but it would come with many detrimental effects.

As the body had already been used by the soul for a long time, it would leave a lot of marks, making it harder for the new one to take control.

That is why most who possess others prefer imprisoning them first, as they slowly capture their body.

"What do you want?"

"There is an object that can only be taken by those with a specific requirement. For example, a Felidaen that learned qi."

"Why me then? You can find another and teach him that."

"Hahaha, why bother when I already found the perfect one? You have something you want so much you will even go to hell for it. Or am I wrong?"

"How? Let's say you really have her soul. How did it come to your hand?"

"That you don't need to know, but remember my mission will send you through literally hell, a place filled with many malevolent beings."

"I don't care, prove it first."

"But I care. Finding Felidaen is quite hard now. Before I send you there, you need to finish my training. It will be harsh, brutal, and even make you act in cruelty, but these are all things you need to pay to get power quickly."

"Prove it!" William said once again in an icy cold tone.

Last time Alex explained to him that her soul had already left the area. This made him even more suspicious of the voice.

He didn't think Alex would lie to him. There was no benefit for him in doing it. That meant the soul was really not there, and if this mysterious voice had it, there was a huge chance he was the one who took it.

This also meant he had a hand in the incident on his planet, probably part of the group that supported Belthazar.

There was a huge possibility he would make him do something terrible, but William had already steeled his heart. No matter what he needed to do, if it could bring Roxy back, he wouldn't care.

Even if that meant he needed to sacrifice the innocent!

"Kekeke," a malevolent laughter rang out.

Black eerie flames suddenly appeared ten steps away from him, and from inside, a figure clad in a black robe appeared.

On the robe, there were many symbols arranged in a dark crimson color, giving it an eerie look. It was like the symbols were alive, created with blood.

A pale white arm came out from the sleeve. He opened his palm, and then a gemstone that looked like a diamond appeared. It was beautiful, reflecting a myriad of colors with a soul settled inside.

William quickly moved forward. He couldn't tell whose soul was inside from the current distance.

Step! His face turned into a frown as he felt the gravity rise, causing huge pressure on his body.

But William didn't even bother to complain. His whole attention now was to confirm the soul existed in the gemstone.

Step! His shoulders slumped down now as the pressure increased drastically.

William tried to take another step, but this time, even raising his foot required a lot of effort. His qi churned, and sweat started dripping from his head.

He exerted almost all his strength to finish the third step.

The moment he reached the next zone, William kneeled on the ground. The weight was so much that he felt like he was being crushed.

"Dammit! You did this on purpose!" William said using qi, as well as even moving his tongue, was a difficult task.

"Let's say this is the first test. What you are looking for is in front of you. Actually, if you can take it off my hand now, I will give it to you without asking anything back," the man said with a gloating tone.

William tried hard to move, but he failed. He couldn't even move his finger.

"Giving up already? Do you want me to wake her slumbering soul and torture her in front of you?"

"I swear I will kill you!" William said with anger in his eyes.

He didn't know yet if the soul was really Roxy's or not, but the thought of it already made his blood boil.

CRACK! A sound of bone breaking could be heard as William forced his body beyond its limit.

He gritted his teeth as he tried to move forward. In the end, the best he could do was make his body fall to the front, allowing him to cover the distance for the next step.

The sound of bone breaking reverberated once more. What William felt now was like how a normal human would feel when they were put inside concrete alive.

He could feel pressure all over his body. Even breathing was a very hard task.

"You seem to need more motivation. This is only the fourth step. Six more to go. Can you do it?"

"Bastard, you did this on purpose! You know I could never go all the way ten steps!"

The hooded man let out a cold snort filled with disdain.

"Weak. Do you think this is as much as you can handle? You can do more than this!

Give your everything if she is really important to you."

One of the red patterns on his robe glowed red.

The diamond floating above his hand reacted, and a projection was shot out.

The moment William saw it, a beastly roar reverberated out from his body. His qi started churning like crazy as he began to burn his own life force.

Even though Alex didn't give him the rune, living near them still allowed him to learn about the life force. In the end, it was something every living being had.
