Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Alright, now let's check this crystal," Alex said as he walked toward one.

As he got close, the first thing he did was absorb the life force.

The green crystal then changed color, turning into a transparent crystal. Alex checked his life force. It didn't rise by much, but then he got an idea.

He broke the clear crystal and then asked MingYue to help cut it into hexagons.

He then did the reverse; he injected it with life force. The crystal started turning color into green.

Alex kept going as he was curious how much it could hold. The more life force it contains, the more intense the green energy is.

"Vesa, does this appear because of the influence of Alucard?" Alex asked.

He had thought through a few scenarios, as the part fell for years, if no one claimed it, then there was a possibility it started transforming the area around it.

There was also a chance a beast might come and eat it. After all, even though they are not sapient, they could still instinctively tell what is good or bad for their body.

"Vesa, why don't you just come out? You should be able to stay in your soul form now," MingYue said.

The last time she used Vesa to fight against Qingwa, it had its perks as Vesa gave out a feeling of dread for many beasts. But if a real fight happened, Vesa would not be able to do much. It could only use a few simple rules and normal combat techniques.

The red fog started coming from their bodies, then coalesced into the familiar form they had seen before. A pink bat.

"Ya-hooo… Finally, I am out again," Vesa said with an excited tone, surprising Alex and MingYue.

"Did you hit your head or something?" Alex asked.

Vesa gave a formal bow, then said, "Greetings, King and queen, nothing like that. It's just feeling his presence makes my blood boil."

"So, you are like some hippie high on drugs now?" Alex asked.

"Nope, King, I may be excited but can still think clearly. As for the King's question, I suspect a beast ate the progenitor part. Still, it won't be able to consume all of it."

"I also think this is the reason, but why do you think that, Vesa?"

"Since the beast could not contain all the energy, the life force spilled out from its body; that would explain why that leviathan-like creature exists. The same with this crystal."

Prang!

The crystal in Alex's hand exploded as he put too much life force energy into it. It shattered into many pieces.

Looking at it, Alex thought, 'This crystal will be useful for Emily in case I am not at her side.'

"King, Queen, let's go. We should recover the part as soon as possible."

Throughout all this, MingYue was eyeing Vesa suspiciously; she felt Vesa was not just excited, but she could not put a finger on what was different.

"A sec, Vesa, let me take all this crystal; this should be useful," Alex said as he started picking all the crystals clean.

Despite it not being able to contain much energy, it would still be useful as a life force storage that could be given to others; he turned it into some boosting one-time-use items for his friend later on.

Before they came out, Alex checked the drone he had sent to scout the area; to his surprise, other than the occasional small moving island like what MingYue found, the rest was all ocean.

At this point, with the distance the drone had covered, he was sure the planet was completely covered in water.

They then came out of the tunnel looking for creatures similar to the leviathan. The underwater area was vast, with occasional cliffs appearing on their side.

The plant life kept changing as they went deeper; it also kept growing bigger. Alex felt like he was entering a prehistoric world.

After some time, they finally found a sleeping beast. At this point, with so many large creatures they had found, Alex decided to call them Leviathan class organisms.

Each of them easily had the size of a skyscraper, putting every single monster he knew so far to shame.

They speculated all this was because the beasts here didn't have any magic or supernatural skills. Hence, the leaked life force instead enhanced their physical strength, and as time passed, they grew stronger and larger in form.

The ocean biome also took part in this evolution, as the climate was more suitable for their size.

With bigger bodies, it allowed them to have better metabolism while at the same time covering huge distances in a short time.

As they got closer, a huge creature started appearing in their eyes; the Leviathan class creature looked like a turtle; it had a draconic head, with four legs coming out from its round body.

The upper body had a huge shell filled with many large spikes.

But the legs were unique; they didn't look like those of a turtle; instead, they were like crab legs covered in a shell.

'MingYue, what do you think would happen if we teach these beasts cultivation methods? Wouldn't that make them a good weapon?'

MingYue put some thought into it, then shook her head, 'It's just a large size, Alex; in front of strong cultivators, it still wouldn't do much; there is a reason why beasts in my world choose to have a humanoid form. Although this large size will certainly be useful in war.'

'Yeah, just look at him; a single stomp could probably pulverize a few buildings in my city.'

'So how are we going to start?'

'It's sleeping; how about you freeze its whole body?'

'I can try, but it's too large for me to do it in one move. I think it will try to fight back the moment it feels like a change of temperature,' MingYue replied as she thought of other ideas.

She could try boosting her secret technique with life forces, but based on the size, she felt it would be a waste of energy.
