He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 546 Soul Tomb (Second Update)

"Alright, now it's time to add my blood."

Serana placed the three collected materials into a container on the platform above the circular magic circle, took out the elven dagger from her waist, made a slash on her palm, and began chanting the necromancy incantation to communicate with the Lord of Ideals.

As the incantation was chanted, Serana's blood and the three materials in the container quickly fused together, emitting a unique necromantic energy fluctuation.

Blue necromantic energy shot from the container into the circular magic circle below. The magic circle spun rapidly, and a portal leading to the Soul Tomb was opened.

"My mother actually succeeded! She created a portal to the Soul Tomb! It's amazing!"

Serana gasped in surprise as she watched the portal open.

It's important to know that Valerica was researching how to permanently and directionally open a portal to the Soul Stone Tomb, a spell that no one had ever succeeded in during her time.

It can only be said that her mother, Valerica, was truly remarkable in her research on necromancy.

"Oh, right, Chuan, I forgot to tell you, according to what my mother told me about the Soul Tomb, the Ideal Lord does not welcome normal living people into the Soul Tomb."

Unless one is willing to contribute a portion of their soul as a toll to enter the Soul Tomb.

So either you wait for me outside and I go in to find my mother myself, or you may have to give her a part of your soul.

"If you're willing to become a vampire, I can give you my blood."

Just as the two were about to enter the Soul Stone Tomb, Serana suddenly remembered something and explained to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"No need, I can solve this myself."

He hadn't expected that only undead creatures could enter the Soul Tomb for free.

However, this is not a big problem, because he can also become an undead creature.

"Ghost Rider, transform!"

Unleashing the power of the vengeful spirit within him, Li Chuan instantly transformed into a skeleton engulfed in hellfire.

Is Ghost Rider's form considered an undead creature?

Of course it counts. Those are truly undead creatures, beyond any trace of life, and they can freely travel to Mephisto's hellish plane.

In fact, if he were to unleash the power of the Tsukuyomi world, he could forcefully break through the obstacles of the Ideal Lord and enter the Soul Tomb.

But his primary goal now is to obtain the ancient scroll; otherwise, if he really can't win, the ancient scroll will be out of reach.

"Chuan, are you an undead creature too?"

Serana was so frightened by Li Chuan's blue flames that she quickly took a few steps back to create some distance.

She wasn't afraid that Li Chuan was an undead creature, as she was herself. She was just surprised that Li Chuan could disguise himself as a human so well. Also, vampires are afraid of fire, and she, as a woman from Cold Harbor, was no exception.

The blue flames emanating from Li Chuan's body were even more terrifying to her than normal flames, surpassing even the flames he used when casting fire magic before.

"Of course I'm not an undead creature. This is just a transformation spell that allows me to temporarily become an undead creature."

Li Chuan's skull mouth opened and closed as he explained.

Serana's face was full of surprise:

"You humans are truly amazing. With such a short lifespan, you can always create all sorts of amazing magic, even magic that can turn you into an immortal being."

I increasingly felt that my father's idea of ​​making an enemy of all humanity was extremely unwise.

Sure enough, after transforming into Ghost Riders, Li Chuan and Serana passed through the portal smoothly and arrived at the Soul Stone Tomb.

The moment he entered the Soul Tomb, he sensed a powerful soul eyeing him.

He guessed it might be the Ideal Lord, but he didn't show anything unusual, pretending not to have noticed, and marveled at the strange environment of the Soul Tomb with Serana.

This is a dark world; there is no sun, moon, or stars in the sky, only a thick layer of fog.

There were quite a few buildings on the black land, but they all looked very dilapidated. Li Chuan guessed that they were the work of Dagon's demon subordinates when they passed through the area.

Walking on the roads of this world, you can see many souls wandering around, but their expressions are usually confused.

If you go up and talk to them, they will answer you, but their memories mostly only stay at the short period before they died, and they are not even aware that they have died and come to the Soul Tomb.

Moreover, this place is not so safe. Sometimes powerful undead creatures will appear and attack them, but Li Chuan can easily eliminate all the undead by simply waving the chain in his hand that is stained with hellfire.

Hellfire excels at burning souls, making it the nemesis of these undead.

The Soul Stone Tomb is not very large, not even as big as Skyrim, so after searching for a while, the two finally found Sarana's mother, Valerica, in front of a huge building deep inside.

However, Valerica's situation did not seem to be very good; she was trapped inside the building by a powerful barrier.

Therefore, Serana can only speak to Valerica through the barrier.

"Mom, you're really here!"

"Oh, Creator, Serena, what brings you here?"

What follows is the entire process of the mother and daughter, separated for a thousand years, from the joy of their reunion to their quarrel, and finally resolving their misunderstandings and making up.

Li Chuan stood quietly to the side, listening without interrupting.

Thanks to Valerica's instructions, Li Chuan finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that a thousand years ago, Harkon heard a prophecy from somewhere, which said that if he could obtain the divine bow of the elven sun god Auriel, and with the life of the Cold Harbor woman, he could end the sun and let vampires rule the continent.

So he frantically searched for the Ancient Scroll, intending to use its prophetic power to find the Bow of Auriel, and then sacrificed his daughter Serana's life to fulfill the prophecy and become the true master of the entire continent.

When Valerica learned of this, she naturally disagreed with sacrificing her daughter's life to fulfill Harkon's ambitions.

After failing to dissuade his daughter, he deliberately ignored her to lower her guard, secretly made a deal with the Lord of Ideals, and developed a way to reach the Soul Tomb.

So one day, taking advantage of Harkon's inattention, she stole two ancient scrolls, then sealed one scroll and Serana in a prepared crypt, while taking the other ancient scroll into the Soul Tomb.

He originally intended to wait until Harkon had completely abandoned his plan before returning to Nien to remove Serana's seal.

However, an unexpected incident occurred inside the Soul Tomb.
