Chapter 704: Escape (1/2)

Sam finally felt the crack he wanted to feel.

He knew something will happen as soon as the emergency plan was activated. Even though the smile is not physical the old vampire king clearly felt the change is the state of mind of Sam and also the faint reduction in the energy that was being supplied to him.

But he didn't think it was a big deal. This ritual has taken place many times and sometimes the Consummate realm cultivators became exhausted so much that they fainted or even died, then the energy fluctuations are bound to happen.

”What are you feeling so happy about? Your body transformation is finished and it is indeed extremely balanced and perfect, so I would be taking it over now and release you out of your misery.”

Sam just smirked and said.

”You will definitely know why I am happy in a few minutes as for the rest of your nonsense, that is just your pipe dream.”

”Have you become delusional after spending this long resisting me?”

Sam didn't even bother to reply as he just let the process finish and slowly he could feel the resistance on his body is being reduced.

Meanwhile, on the surface, the Consummate realm cultivator that is trying to get rid of the vines is having the nightmare of his life. No matter what he tried he couldn't get rid of the vine and his energy is being sucked dry.

He felt the despair for the first time in a while. After all these years he reached the Consummate realm cultivation and he is not willing to give his life away just because he tried to kill a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator.

He felt that it is so unfair. He cannot do this at all. He just wanted to live.

If not for the fact that he is a consummate realm cultivator, he wouldn't be able to last this long even now it seemed like it would take hours to fully absorb from him but still there are already tens of flowers blooming out of the vines, the same thing happened in all the directions of the pit as one cultivator after other are being trapped by the vines and then growing rapidly before reaching another target.

The situation is extremely tense and soon, the formation stopped working when the vines finally reached the Vampire King.

Everyone spat out some blood and felt like their souls are being sucked away from their bodies.

The energy in the surroundings became a chaotic mess. Except for the Vampire King, no one else was able to resist the effects of the vine, but he couldn't do much at least he couldn't escape the vine completely all he can do is use the special energy that could access since his cultivation is past the Consummate realm.

While the fate of the Vampires is in a pickle, Sam finally relaxed and the former Vampire King's soul suddenly trembled as he lost the extra strength that helped him to maintain the ritual.

”What did you do?” He asked Sam in a tense voice.

”Does it really matter? You are going to disappear anyway. It would just be a waste of my time to explain.”

”WHAT DID YOU DO?” The voice became freaky as he felt the connection being lost with the other cultivators on the surface. After that outburst, he calmed himself down and said.

”It doesn't matter if you did something to them. Their involvement will be minimal in the next step anyway, I can manage it myself.”

As soon as he said that the corpse moved and pin Sam to the wall and the soul tried to devour Sam's soul.

But when he took that step, there is a faint interval for Sam to access his own body and spiritual consciousness was free for a fraction of a second. He didn't dare let that opportunity slip past him and took two things out of the divine dimension.

The first one is the strand of hair from SunWukong and the second one is the pillar he obtained in his quest to find the meteorite sand.

He threw the strand of hair at the corpse and the Sun Wukong Clone appeared with staff while Sam yelled.

”Guardian, you better come out and destroy this soul now.”

The Old man's wisp of the soul came out of the pillar and shot into Sam's mind to battle with the soul of the Vampire King.

”This soul is stronger than a Consummate, just what kind of people are you pissing off? Anyway, why are you even in contact with the Vampires? Just how much of a trouble maker are you?” The guardian asked as a large mental battle took place in his mind.

The corpse is not extremely powerful and within the Consummate realm level, so there is no need for Sam to worry. The Monkey King's clone is more than capable enough to destroy that corpse.
