Chapter 275: Break through (1/2)

Sam is bathing himself in the flames.

He discovered this ability to use direct flames for his consumption through a guess. He is just disintegrating the flames using his manipulating ability and using the absorption ability to make it his.

After all, the fire is also essentially a form of spiritual energy and the fire doesn't have many components in and itself. So, it is easy for him to do so.

But will any firework for him in this way? In a sense, yes, but the burning object which acts as fuel should consist of more spiritual energy to be able to have any actual benefit for Sam.

The whole banyan expanse and the beasts within it including the parasite consists of a high amount of spiritual energy which is going to be burnt into the flames and becomes Sam's food.

As he was busy devouring the flames, someone else other than Sam's group are approaching them after seeing the huge flames and smoke.

They are none other than the people from the thunder-god temple.

There are only five of them, the last one is not traveling with them. When they saw the huge fire, they immediately shot towards it. They felt that two parties are fighting and from the place, they are in, it is highly probable for Sam and his friends against a beast.

They felt that they can take the gains from the two parties' clash.

But as they neared the flames, Arthur felt that something was off. The intensity of flames is too high and he can feel the heat waves from afar.

As he was thinking they slowed down their pace and started walking carefully.

But they are not the only ones who are attracted by the flames, some beasts from the habitats started making their moves. This large of a commotion is not something the beasts which took this forest as their home can ignore.

Sam is still devouring the energy completely. He is in a trance-like state.

After absorbing most of the energy, only some insignificant amount of flames are left which are not much use to him. The beasts' bodies and the banyan trees are already devoured.

As he was about to move towards the tower again, he saw some beasts and Thunder god temple. He doesn't have much time to waste but it would be hard to avoid a confrontation. He looked around and turned towards the direction where the tower is.

”Just hold on, if there is any confrontation. I will be back as soon as I can.” He was not extremely worried. Because the beasts which came here are from the habitats which act as scouts to check the situation, they wouldn't start a battle without the orders from their tribe leader unless they were attacked.

The confrontation would be with the people from the thunder-god temple.

There are more than fifteen skeletons inside the ashes of the whole banyan expanse and every skeleton represents a treasure. Even with Sam's presence, there is a high chance of having a confrontation.

From what Sam observed, there is a chance to increase the cultivation when they entered the cultivation inheritance as Philip has a substantial increase in a short amount of time.

Arthur has entered an inheritance too and there is a high chance that he could have increased the cultivation and there would be treasures on him too.

This increases the chances of battle erupting here. So, Sam is a bit worried. Jack is not here and Watt is not that strong at the moment. Hawk and Philip might not be able to hold on if Arthur really did have a great increase in strength along with his teammates.

Sam moved with the increased speed at his extreme limit.

He crashed into the tower and by this time, Jack already stopped cultivating.

”Follow this route.”

Sam said as he pointed at the freshly created fire crater. Jack didn't ask for any details and started moving.

Sam sat down and went into cultivating after he let out Yanwu and the rest.

He started integrating the power as fast as he can. This time, the energy is far greater than the previous time. He closed his eyes and started making the energy his. This time as the bottleneck between Level-7 and the Level-8 is not that hard to overcome, so there is not much effort, and became easy.

But he soon encountered the problem. The energy is too excessive. He reached the Peak-stage within no time.

The beasts cannot take it anymore.

Sam once again looked at the place he came back from. He couldn't help but feel frustrated all of a sudden.
