Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

chapter-1076
Sam is having trouble with the formation. Not because it is a high-level formation, rather it is pretty basic, the problem is that it is extremely layered and all the layers are made with many nodes. Even if there are some nodes missing, the formation will shift to a different form with almost the same output.
The formation destruction is not exactly difficult but it is time taking and persistent. Particularly in a battle, he would need to find that one point that would destroy the formation. As for the core of the formation, he couldn't find it. This is one of the coreless formations.
If not for the fact that he made the move while the formation is still activating, the temperature in the formation would have been far worse than what it is now.
The core disciple went after Sam without giving up and the rest of the people are being kept busy by the team.
The sect leader was stunned by the display of power from Sam's team.They are in constant upper hand even though the environment is against them, but he didn't worry too much.
"Go defensive, don't try to kill or injure, just drag for the time."
The sect leader directly announced his instructions, he is still in a staredown with the Night Ghost, not starting the battle yet.
But the tension is building up and they are sure that the one person who loses patience will be the one to lose.
After half an hour, Sam noticed that the team is currently feeling a bit problematic with the ice elemental energy invading their bodies.
Sam felt the urgency. He activated fire elemental energy fusion and walked slashed the sword at the core disciple which left a large slash on his chest and then focused on the formation.
He took out a bunch of knives and moved around on the harbinger and started throwing them at different spots.The core disciple who was slashed with the sword is suffering from the corrosion effect on the body as he rolled on the ground. His golem covered him with the humungous body and tried its best to block all the attacks.
The sect leader frowned for the first time.
He didn't that the core disciple would fare this bad. From start to finish, he didn't stand a chance against Sam. Every single attack Sam made landed and he is not even focusing on the fight. He is clearly focusing on the formation.
As he looked at the fiery knives landing on different spots, he had a bad premonition.
He wanted to make a move, but Night Ghost is giving him too much pressure. He has been in this cultivation level for a few decades and he could clearly sense that Night Ghost recently broke through, but his instincts are screaming to be careful. The danger this man represents is so high that every second he looked to the side made him feel like he is being preyed by some savage ready to rip him apart.
After some thought, he couldn't take it anymore as he looked at the futile attempts of the core disciple to take care of Sam by himself and yelled.
"Battle formation 2"
As soon as he spoke, the elders took a step back as they took out an ice sculpture from their storages.
All the ice sculptures are golems as they moved and jumped around before standing in different spots. The formation changed and the temperature further reduced. Sam felt as if even a single breath is freezing his lungs.
And that is even with his fire elemental fusion and the evolved lungs of the fire element.
He looked around to notice that all the core disciples who are supporting the elders to deal with the teammates are now free as the temperature decreased and his teammates are feeling suffocated and feeling obstruction in their energy circulation, but still they are holding up on their own. The least effect was on Kiran and Saber Monarch who don't have any elemental affinity.
They are going all out as they started slaying one elder after another, but there are still too many of these people.
Sam lost his patience and he was about to make a big move. But the core disciples already surrounded him.
Most of them are late-stage Pre-transcendent cultivators.
But they still managed to fight against the initial stage transcendent cultivators and peak stage Pre-transcendent cultivators with the help of the formation.
Sam took out the reaper sword and threw the bunch of fiery knives around without much care. He slashed straight on the disciple that came at him and kicked a knife up in the process before hitting with the sword.
It was lodged at some spot. He slashed another opponent and hit another knife making it land on another spot.
The golems are being blasted away as he challenged all his energy.
When the core disciples saw Sam's strength, they became a bit timid to approach him, they immediately activated an ice elemental fusion and merged with their ice golems.
Sam was stunned for a second when he saw this.
This is one of the high-level arts of the golems. It is extremely difficult to achieve. Merging with golems and combining their power is extremely difficult and takes too much skill.
The fight became difficult. By every second, the situation is worsening.
And then he saw something else. The ice monkeys that acted as the nodes of this new formation started dancing on the place creating waves of frost energy that hit his team. It is not too powerful, but it could stop them from using their strength and create deadly distractions.
Sam finally lost patience.
He took out a metal pole which has a large number of inscriptions.
The sect leader looked at it frowned.
"Seems like he had enough of your tricks." Night Ghost said from the side.
Sam moved to the center of the formation and nailed the metal pole on the ground.
Half of the metal pole has a transparent body made of used-up spirit stones. Inside is fire elemental energy liquid and on top of it, there is a small cork that acts like the piston of an injection. Sam jumped off the harbinger and slammed his foot on it while his fire elemental fusion is still activated.
The golden flames entered the pole while the piston moved down forcefully injecting the liquid energy downwards into the lower half of the pole.
From the bottom of the pole golden flames started spewing out into the ground and slowly it started cracking as golden flames came out of those cracks like some fissures. The ice in the surroundings started melting and that included the monkey sculptures and golems.
The whole formation is being full of hot air instantly overwhelming the fire elemental energy.
Sam threw a fiery knife which is the last of its set to a spot and a formation was activated.
A fiery explosion occurred as that formation exploded outwards, towards the ice formation.
Both energies clashed making both of them eliminate each other.
And with the fire pole in the middle, the atmosphere suddenly turned against the Tundra sect members.
The sect leader is looking at the whole situation with widened eyes full of shock and disbelief.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
What shocked him is not the fact that the situation turned around in an instant.
As surprising as it is, this is not the most shocking thing.
The most shocking thing is the liquid energy he saw inside that metal pole.
He involuntarily turned around and obviously distracted, but at this moment he sensed that the monster he was guarding against all this time is still there.
Night Ghost made his move.
A bunch of ghosts came out of his body as he channeled all his energy into his palm. The ghosts raged towards the Sect leader and caught hold of his soul as if they are trying to tear his soul and body apart.
The sect leader realized and started channeling his ice elemental energy and even tried to make the ghosts freeze there and then. He activated ice elemental fusion and was ready to meet the attack.
But the type of attack that came from Night Ghost is completely different from what he expected.
Night Ghost put all his energy into this one palm as he slammed it into the chest of the sect leader.
The sect leader didn't feel any pain and in fact, it barely even made him feel anything. But the next second, he closed his eyes and his fusion was gone along with his body falling down limp.
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
They saw as the soul of the sect leader was separated from the body and is being torn apart by the ghosts as they fought within themselves to absorb more and more of the soul.
Night Ghost fell on his knees in exhaustion. The attack seemed simple enough, but it took all his energy. He felt like fainting right there and then. If not for the fact the ghosts are hungrily devouring the sect leader's soul, he would definitely fall down and lose consciousness.
