Chapter 274: Feeding On Flames
Sam is glowing with golden light. The golden flame surrounded him as it started devouring the intense blue flame, they could see Sam's pants and the vest burned down along with his skin.
Only his coat was left alone. Even his hair started burning. His pupils also turned golden.
His friends watched him as he turned into a whole different being.
Sam is trying to do use this swamp swallower as his medium for a breakthrough. Of course, he has to share it with his best companions, but he is going to store the whole energy in him till visited the tower.
He planned this from the start.
The swamp swallower which expanded with all the energy obtained from the beasts, Sam gave it as food.
He is going to take it all. He is going to burn it all of the beings and burn the spiritual energy into flames which he will take it has his.
It is risky, if he couldn't covert the raw flames into the spiritual energy, he would die but he wants to take this risk.
He knew that his growth was fast, but that is not enough. He wants it faster, at least before he leaves this place, he would reach the peak of the Great realm cultivator and he would do so with the resources that are provided here.
At least, even if they are not here to be his resources, he would make them his resources.
He converted his body completely into the fire element, the hundred percent elemental fusion. He achieved it.
The state, the condition, and achievement which many experts beyond the transcendence element desired and obsessed over it but never to achieve it.
Sam achieved it as a Great realm cultivator, but he was not satisfied.
It has been a long time since he has this much desire for power. He almost forgot his feeling. These past few days, he might have been busy with this whole inheritance thing.
But since the time he had the clash with Oscar, he is having this burning desire deep inside his heart. In fact, it is burning his very soul. From then on, he felt one of his long-forgotten emotions.
If not for the fact that he needs with the city and the resources that come with it, he would not have visited Arian at all.
But he didn't have a particular immediate place or goal for increasing his strength. So, this whole inheritance of Murali came at a perfect time, so he came to this place.
There are many treasures here, but not much to increase his cultivation. So, he is growing to create one. Nope, two of them and if possible, more.
The flame intensified. Sam's body raged even more. The whole blue flame and the golden flame are clashing and Sam is trying hard to devour everything.
The flame raged, the small beasts which are the underdogs of the forest and even the beasts in the habitats are also feeling this aura.
He is like a whole other being.
After more than one hour, Sam suddenly opened his eyes, he left the cylinder there and left the place.
He left on the harbinger and he zoomed with the golden flame.
On his way, he didn't take any diversions, he just passed through every obstacle. He was like a crater, destroying everything in the path and creating a burning line in the forest. In between many trees, beasts and many creatures perished.
He flashed into the tower and let Yanwu and the rest of the beasts out as they shared the whole built-up energy in him.
Most of the energy was losing out and getting wasted. He even let the panthers out as they absorbed it.
He had a breakthrough along with them. Now he is a Late-stage Great realm cultivator. With all the energy, he only broke through one level. But he is nor worried with the next resource, he can pull of another one without a doubt.
Meanwhile, Watt and Hawk are looking at the swamp which was completely burned and almost molten
Hawk used the water to cool the whole thing down and they saw a cracked ground inside a large pit.
Both of them walked toward the pit and they could still feel the heat. Watt sent a wind blade down and a layer of earth cracked and broke down like a clay pot.
There, a bunch of beast skeletons appeared.
These are the beasts that swamp swallowed. Sam showed such an amount of extreme self-control that he didn't harm a single skeleton while dealing with the swamp swallower.
This time, Sam really had outdone himself. If not for his superior mental strength, this would be simply impossible.
Watt and Hawk collected the skeletons and kept them all in the storage ring, after removing the spatial rings in their spines.
By the time they returned to the tower, Philip and Jack are already there. Their inheritances are finished and Jack is meditating with Black Meteorite sword in his hands as he emitted an extremely strong aura.
But Philip is watching Sam with an extremely peculiar gaze. This time in his inheritance he didn't have any growth in cultivation, so he didn't dare challenge Sam as soon as he appeared.
But when he saw Sam, who is emitting the terrifying aura, he could help but feel a bit surprised and shocked. He was still rejoicing by the fact that he overcame Sam in cultivation practice, but within days, Sam caught up to him.
When he saw Sam cultivating, he was very tempted to punch him in the face in frustration. In the end, he refrained himself not to do so.
He doesn't want to be a punching bag for Sam.
After a while, Sam woke up and looked at them. After confirming the excavation of the resources and the cylinder from the swamp, they once again moved out. This time, Philip also joined them while Jack is alone in the tower.
After arriving at the Banyan Expanse, Sam looked at the whole expanse of trees from the top.
This time, he didn't want to just use the High-level methane. He wants to deal with the expanse on his own.
The harbinger suddenly disappeared and he dropped into the expanse, but before he could touch the ground, the vines popped up and the beasts came out of their hiding all moving towards Sam to subdue him with all their might.
But Sam is not ready to get subdue that easily. His body turned golden and his new pair of clothes burned to ashes again.
The fire elemental fusion completed and the vines weren't able to get a hold of it as they burned as soon as they touched.
Even the beasts came to halt.
The parasite's natural enemy is fire. That is why Sam is confident with the recent breakthrough he can deal with this.
Even though there are some Level-5 beast zombies, they all lost their elemental attributes and only have the strength of their fleshly body which Sam is not afraid of and if he can loosen the influence of the parasite with his fire, the bodies couldn't be controlled efficiently and Sam can deal with them easily.
Sam is like an otherworldly golden beam as he stood with the golden flames enveloping him completely.
He didn't use any other flashing moves, because in this state every breath of his can become a fireball and even his fart can be incineration.
Sam moved as jumped from one tree to another using the vines.
He is like Tarzan.
He moved carefreely without a single trace of worry in his eyes. Every tree he touched started burning.
The parasite soon understood the predicament it was in and also understood that the vines are useless against Sam, so the beasts came into play.
But Sam was the least bit bothered.
No matter how many beasts are surrounded, all he would do is try to evade them and if not possible create an opening with an outburst.
In one case, he burned the feathers of the golden eagle and kicked to the nearby tree and the tree was caught on fire.
He let go of all his frustrations and just went on burning the whole thing one by one.
Soon, the parasite started losing control of some of the beasts.
The movement of the vines was also restricted.
Soon, the whole forest was burning along with the beast carcasses in it. The bright orange colored flames raged and, in those flames, Sam's fire elemental body shone with a golden glow.
He slowly started floating in the fire.
As he himself has turned into a fire elemental being, now he is the fire itself and inside a flame medium, he can travel no matter what or how.
He can float, he can fly, he can even swim in the flames.
After a few moments of feeling, Sam slowly flew within the medium and closed his eyes as he spread his arms.
He started absorbing the total flames with his eyes closed. The whole scene looked fascinating. Sam is now like a god of flames, embracing with open arms.
