"I can't believe that you actually hid behind that guy's shadow and snuck in! Based on your skills, I guess you're from the spiritual race. On the other hand, judging from your aura, I believe that you are stronger than that guy. But I still don't get why you followed him here. However, if you are willing to give your body to me so that I can be reborn, I will repay you for your kindness," the shadow said slyly while staring at the figure in the red robe.
"To be honest, I don't think anything good will happen to me if I lend you my body." Of course, the figure in red would not easily take the shadow's bait.
"You must have your own purpose and reason for staying here. I can forcefully take your body anytime I want. I just want to be reborn with the casing of a human body." At that moment, it seemed that the shadow was very eager to have a flesh body of the spiritual race being so he could be reborn. Perhaps, this shadow was a bit too picky when it came to choosing its soul's house.
"Unfortunately, you don't seem to have a choice now," the figure in red uttered in a low voice.
"Well, I believe that you are also an ambitious person. Why don't you lend your body to me for the time being, and in exchange, I will place my spiritual soul in your body for some time? I think I can wait until I find a more suitable human body to be reborn into. After all, I have been waiting for a long time, and I don't mind waiting a little longer," the shadow proposed.
"And what will I get in return if I agree to do that?" the figure in red asked straightforwardly.
"If my spiritual soul is in your body, you can use the demonic power sealed in my spiritual soul. It's just a small part, but it is enough for you to benefit a lot. With the demonic power, even those advanced spiritual masters who think extremely highly of themselves will be no match to you," the shadow enticed.
"That sounds too good to be true. Then how can I be sure that you are telling the truth?" skeptical, the figure in red asked.
"I always stay true to my words. But since you have some concerns, I think it's best for us to enter a solemn bond to ease your doubts," the shadow said coldly. As a matter of fact, the most important thing for him now was to leave the stone chamber as soon as possible. If he could use the body of the figure in red to release the power of the spiritual soul and break the enchanted barrier of the stone chamber, then it wouldn't be a problem to leave anymore.
"That's good to hear. Come on!" Soon after, the figure stretched out his arms as if he was greeting the shadow.
"Spiritual soul returns. The soul and body will become one with the bond of contract!" Not long after, the shadow screamed out loud. Without warning, the dark energy all over his body rose sharply, quickly materializing into a ball of palm-sized dark energy. It instantly flew into the spot between the figure's eyebrows, creating a snake-shaped mark on its place.
After a while, the figure's body emitted dark evil smoke, which then instantly became extremely malicious and appalling.
The next moment, the figure's clothes exploded, causing the pieces of cloth to fly in the air. In the blink of an eye, the figure's face was revealed. If Rocky was still in the chamber, then he would surely be very surprised. At that moment, the wind swept past the figure's face, exposing the person who had been reborn after possessing a body from the spiritual race—Alston.
And at that moment, Alston had contributed his flesh body of the spiritual race to temporarily aid the rebirth of the shadow so he could gain even more strength.
However, at that time, Alston's outside appearance suddenly began to change. Slowly, his body from the spiritual race transformed into a shape that resembled human beings. Not long after, he reverted back to his original human appearance.
