Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 231: Robot? Mecha?

Seeing this, Alex grasped the opportunity to call back his hammer.

Swosh!

The hammer glided back to his hand as he admired the result of MingYue's attack.

It was like a colossal crystal tree had suddenly appeared, with a single flower hanging in the middle of it.

'Can you capture it now?'

'Nope, it's too big. Even without the tree, my biggest cube will barely be able to contain it.'

'How about capturing it the normal way then? Use beast bond.

With you and me here, our souls should be more than enough to subdue that beast.'

'Seems we have no choice, let's do it that way. Worst comes to worst. We can use Vesa's presence to deter it.'

MingYue then closes her eyes, focusing on the ice tree. Using her sword as a medium, she starts controlling it.

She uses lifeforce energy in exchange for blood, then starts drawing it on the turtle shell.

Alex also closes his eyes. Vesa then becomes the medium, linking them with the beast's inner world.

The next moment, Alex and MingYue find themselves on solid ground.

Alex just wants to comment on how a marine beast's inner world is solid ground when suddenly, a huge shadow hangs over them.

Looking upward, he sees something huge that looks like a turtle shell falling toward his face.

'Alex, it's the inner world. You can fight with your soul here,' MingYue's voice reverberates in his mind.

She then explains to Alex how to fight inside the inner world.

As golden core cultivators, their power now starts melding with the soul, the rate even higher than that of normal cultivators since they are progenitors.

How he fights is up to his imagination; the only caveat is that the power will be the same as his soul. He can imagine a nuke exploding, but if the power is not up to par, it will just be dazzling fireworks with barely any damage.

Knowing this, Alex's lips curl into a smile. Many things come to his mind. His imagination runs wild.

He jumps upward, meeting the attack head-on. Alex doesn't make his body grow bigger; instead, he does something that all men have thought of at some point.

BAM!

The turtle shell is held by a giant robot hand. Inside, with a grin on his face, Alex sits in the cockpit and then controls the robot with his mind.

He throws the shell somewhere far away.

With the robot, Alex can finally see the turtle's inner world; it's all empty. The land he stood on before was the turtle's main soul.

"Really, Alex?" MingYue asks, looking at him with an incredulous expression. She knows what Alex created; it's from an anime she watched.

"Why not?" Alex replies back with an excited tone.

The robot has two pairs of angelic wings, with a green crystal in the middle of the chest. Other than the wings, there are two railguns at its waist, with two swords held in the robot's hands.

At the edge of the swords, an energy beam comes out.

Alex then starts blasting the turtle's main soul with energy attacks. Part of the wings then separate themselves like drones, moving closer to the turtle and starting to shoot beams.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The turtle is caught off guard by the attack but doesn't stand still. It roars, and then many earth spikes suddenly appear, targeting both Alex and MingYue.

As the stage is its inner world, the turtle can do much more than Alex and MingYue. Unfortunately, it's still a beast; its imagination is limited to attacks it's used in the real world.

MingYue creates an ice lotus to protect herself while her lips twitch, seeing what Alex is doing.

The most effective way would be to create a shield and then keep attacking the turtle. But instead of doing this, Alex plays around, dodging the spikes as he uses his robot sword to cut each one coming close to him.

As he dodges, Alex tries to fly closer to the turtle, but his approach isn't smooth as the attacks become more intense. Alex's lips then grin. The drone part of the wings flies back to him; he then fuses his swords together, pointing them at the turtle.

The railguns at his waist keep shooting non-stop at the spikes coming at him while energy starts gathering at the tip of his sword.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

Alex shoots a huge energy beam toward the turtle, demolishing everything in its path and piercing through the turtle's soul.

The moment this happens, MingYue makes a few gestures. Alex just wants to move forward and try other attacks when, suddenly, he finds himself back in reality.

"Sorry to disturb your fun, but that is more than enough to subdue the soul," MingYue says with a smirk on her face.

Alex doubts her story was sincere, but he doesn't retort. He realizes what he did before was really just playing around; his mindset at that time was the same as when he plays VR games.

'This reminds me it's been a while since I played games,' Alex thinks.

MingYue starts undoing the frost tree. After it all disperses, the turtle comes into view again. It has wounds on its leg and part of its head but has already started to heal. The turtle then starts moving toward them.

Alex and MingYue then land on its shell. As MingYue has already subdued the turtle, she starts communicating with it.

While she does this, Alex looks at the turtle shell; he often reads stories about people living above it. With a turtle this big, it would be possible to do this.

'I can also install a few cannons above the shell, turning this into a fortress.

I am sure, even compared to sea monsters in my world, none will be this big, well, at least in the normal zone.

Who knows what kind of abomination exists in those dark and red zones?' Alex thinks.

"The turtle could bring us deeper, but it won't be easy. As we expected, the monsters here keep growing stronger the deeper we go."

"Not a problem, since we found a solution, let's just catch more leviathans along the way."
