Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

He screeched in pain; the countless mouths started opening, throwing up the same black goo as before.

Each of them transformed into another Gluttony knight. Seeing this, MingYue didn't feel afraid.

She felt excited as now she could test how strong her soul was.

Countless ice spikes appeared around her. She then started shooting them all around the area.

In the middle of the way, the spikes transformed into a lifelike ice serpent that let out a roar.

MingYue herself slashed her way forward to where Luciel was captured.

SLASH!

She cut the connection, effectively freeing Luciel's soul. Her body, still wrapped in a dark cocoon, fell to the ground.

As Luciel started to awaken, the inner world began to shake. MingYue raised the intensity of the attack.

She launched another wave of ice serpents to fight against Gluttony.

Utilizing her soul strength to the maximum, she easily overpowered the aspect of Gluttony, but this was not enough to completely eradicate her.

In fact, while MingYue was confronting Gluttony in the inner world, part of it in the real world was escaping out from the gap in the sky.

It also didn't forget to separate parts of itself, eating the gap and making it wider and bigger.

MingYue then opened her eyes as she finished cleaning out Luciel's inner world. When she realized what had happened, she knew it was too late.

The sky was now shattering at a very fast pace, while the healing could not keep up.

Looking down, she could see a pool of water already created, turning into a flood that kept increasing.

MingYue held Luciel's unconscious body. She then threw her ice sword toward the water.

CREAKK!!!

It froze all the liquid, to the point it created a huge ice pillar like it held the whole sky.

MingYue then kept pouring her qi over it, as she could feel something still eating away at the gap, widening the scar.

She quickly realized what had happened. 'Vesa, what now?'

'We can only wait for the King now, or we can try to pursue Gluttony.'

'Some of the leviathans are still there under my control. I will try to use them to track Gluttony,' MingYue suggested.

If the leviathans traced Gluttony's location, she would quickly move to pursue her.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the unfrozen flood started moving in all directions, creating a natural disaster.

This was a tragedy, but for Petricia, it made her job easier.

As Seraphina, she easily entered the communication room, found the information to use it, and announced everyone to gather.

Petricia changed her narrative, telling them to gather for evacuation.

Meanwhile, with how huge the incident was, everyone in the realm, even those not in the affected area, came out and looked at the disaster.

Thankfully, as there were royalty in the area where the flood came, it didn't cause a lot of damage. The trees were also stronger, reducing the flood's impact.

Underneath the ground, Alex was already getting close to the center of the planet.

He could start feeling a scorching heat. If it had been before, he wouldn't have been able to bear it.

As he kept digging, he got an update on the situation from Vesa.

"It's good that Luciel was saved, but now with Gluttony escaped…"

"Don't worry, King. With your and the Queen's current strength, we could quickly check on your father.

As for the Bai Yue sect, I can now move it to Edonia. It's the same with the Suzaku guild."

Alex didn't quickly answer, since the situation was too complicated for him to decide just like that. He also needed to talk with MingYue.

Based on the situation, it's possible they would now live their life as fugitives, going around the universe gathering forces for their rebellion.

As they walked deeper, Vesa's fingers started moving, creating a rune to give them more protection. The heat kept rising, becoming unbearable even for Alex.

The blood he used as a drill also started boiling and turned into gas. He then needed to infuse it with lifeforce to keep going.

CRACK! CRACK!

The ground kept getting harder as it finally changed into molten lava.

At this point, Alex stopped as he asked Vesa what to do next. He doubted he could just dig into it.

It was clear the molten lava was a metal in its liquid form, basically the outer layer of the planet's core.

"Next, I will blink us deeper inside," Vesa said as she used another rune. This one was more complicated and took time for her.

After a few minutes, a green light covered both of them. They then blinked forward.

The next thing Alex knew, they were inside a small crystalline cavern with a sphere spinning in the middle. The sphere looked beautiful, like a kaleidoscope of colors.

"So this is what it looks like," Alex said, amazed, as he walked closer to the planet's core.

Vesa flew around the crystal, her crimson eyes reflecting the kaleidoscope of colors.

"Not always, King. It's different for each planet, but this one is surprisingly high quality.

I am sure if left alone for a few hundred years, it will gain its own sentience. And we are also lucky; usually, there are guardians at the planet's core."

"I see. Quickly move, then, Vesa. We need to hunt the aspect of Gluttony," Alex said.

He had control over more leviathans. When the aspect of Gluttony escaped, they did realize it, but it quickly disappeared as it moved far faster than them.

Vesa opened her mouth big and then ate the gemstone whole. Green particles then started appearing all around her body.

They then started forming into many runes, spinning around her body as her crimson eyes glowed.

The core area started to vibrate, and the crystal wall began to crumble.

The rune started growing in size. It then instantly enveloped the whole planet.

Vesa did this to try to capture Gluttony, and in that instant, she did find it, but the creature had already exited the atmosphere.
