Chapter 1125: Controlled Explosion (1/2)

Sam disappeared, the branch leader and the elders felt the changes in the energy.

They all thought, escaping is Sam's last resort, since the path was free from any traps, they didn't think that there would be any here and now that they saw something is wrong, they wanted to escape.

But it was already too late.

The surrounding space was suddenly restricted making them unable to move. They all froze. They could even move their limbs or even jaws to speak. Even breathing became order, some of them who were about to leap over were stuck in mid-air.

They struggled with their energy and wrestled against the spatial lock. But that is not the end, the spatial energy slowly started to become turbulent and covered a hundred-meter radius with the hill as the center.

At first, the spatial lock was strengthened and then they felt the surrounding space distorting slowly and they could feel the spatial tears appearing.

The spatial energy soon clashed with itself and within a minute…

*BOOM*

It exploded.

All that was left in the place was a large space crack covering a circle of a hundred-meter radius. In fact, it couldn't even be called a crack, it is just an area with turbulent space currents sucking everything in the surroundings inside.

Anything that went into the area was sucked in and thrown into the vast void never to return again.

And on the edge of that cluster of energy mass, a hand appeared as it clutched the ground and slowly a middle-aged man appeared out of it.

His body is a bloody mess and his clothes are tattered. His whole body is completely infested with spatial energy.

This is the branch leader of the first branch. The leader of the puppet organization.

He laid down on the rubble as he looked at the sky. He felt pain. He really wished that someone would kill him right now.

As soon as he thought so, someone appeared near his hand he looked upwards to see Sam.

Currently, the person in front of him didn't look like an all-powerful leader of an organization. He didn't even look like someone who is an Astral Plane consummate level cultivator.

He looked like a dying old man he is.

Sam dragged him out and looked at his hand. He used his sword to kill him off and he could see the relief that came to the old man from dying like that. The spatial energy corrosion is not something a body can bear.

The blast that Sam made is created with the liquid energy cells and a little experiment of Sam.

He wondered what would happen if the energy blast that was always chaotic and destructive was contained and this is the result.

He created a formation that circulates the energy to be contained within certain limits and boundaries. In the initial stages of the energy destabilization, the formation which was active before the destabilization will contain it causing the chaos to breed, and as time passes the destruction increases and finally causes the destruction.

As for why the Branch leader survived, it is because of the quality of the Astral Plane Consummate cultivator.

This is the knowledge he gained from the Old Beast. In the occasional talks he had with him over two years, he repeatedly learned information regarding the Astral Plane Consummate cultivators which could help him in killing them by himself. Then he learned something. The Astral Plane cultivators at the Consummate stage can access space.

Not the space element. The real space, the void.

They can endure it.

Generally, they wouldn't discover it until they reach the Divine Plane for some reason, but their bodies can endure a bit as the Astral Plane Consummation is a stage in which their body undergoes the qualitative changes that would enable them to continue the cultivation in the Divine Plane.

That is why Sam came to check whether this guy is dead or not.

This method is indeed suitable for killing people of this level, but there is one drawback. Nothing will remain of them.

The spatial rings in which the heirlooms are stored most of the time will also be destroyed.

But this time, Sam knew that it is an exception and dared to kill the other party using this method. This also serves as an experiment.

As for the heirloom itself, it is a furnace that is divided into three parts.

It is actually a furnace made with the bones of a high-level fire-type beast and it has multiple functions.

The three branches divided the furnace into different parts.

The first branch kept the core mechanism of the furnace which is responsible for melting. The second branch kept the tempering system of the furnace and the final one took the furnace body itself which has over a thousand formations inscribed into its structure and dozens of spirits enchanted to facilitate the heating and forging processes.

When Sam saw the description he was tempted by it too.

But it is only temporary. His production unit is still the best.
