Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-275

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.

This is the first time, he felt that the cultivation technique he performed has some major draw-back. For every breakthrough, he got if he couldn't just share it with his beasts immediately because of the circ.u.mstances, he would have some extreme troubles in some cases.

But right, now, he has to deal with the excess energy as soon as possible.

Sam started concentrating on the energy and tried to compress it. He has to store it temporarily so that he wouldn't have damage to his body.

For that, he can only do one thing. He has to find a way to unleash the whole energy.

After that, he gave up on compressing it and just tried to stabilize it.

He slowly started moving out of the tower and followed the crater to go back to the burned banyan expanse.

Meanwhile, Jack reached the place and so did the people from the thunder god temple.

Arthur and four other teammates of his are already in a confrontation with them.

They are already in a battle-ready situation and with the addition of Jack, they have enough confidence they can hold on to it.

Arthur's teammates are burning with desire. The skeletons of the beasts, two inheritances with Philip, and one inheritance with Jack. They are confident that if they could obtain these and stay safe in the tower until the last week only coming for the inheritances, they could even avoid Sam.

Anyway, there is no saying that Sam wouldn't be the one who has to be on the defensive side if they really gang up on him as they do have more inheritances and with this new edition of the treasures, they could have a shot at defending against Sam flawlessly if not defending against him.

These thoughts went through Arthur's mind and with a smile, he made his move. Not even for a second did he stop and think how the beasts and the expanse are burned to this state and what the crater signifies.

Sam's team is holding against them quite well despite being having fewer people.

Jack and Philip aren't exactly some soft permissions. As for Watt. They have to first catch him if they want to attack him.

The silver wind isn't there for the show.

They are holding up and Watt is even dealing with the skeletons in the ashes throwing them inside the storage one at a time.

Jack is even toying with them.

Sam didn't know the exact situation. But he is starting to get the hang of holding the energy and once he got it, he took out the harbinger and blasted through the crater once again.

He appeared at the spot with a bang and Arthur and the rest were momentarily stunned. They didn't expect that Sam would return so early.

When he saw the whole skeletons, he forgot to think where Sam went and only rejoiced on the fact that he is not present at the moment.

Now only did he think what kind of situation he was in and sensing the vast amount of energy that was coursing through, he immediately ordered for a retreat.

Sam didn't let them off that easily, he followed them into their territory behind them, but he didn't intercept or attack them.

His true goal is scaring them away while picking his next target.

Why would he waste this free energy on these guys as he can defeat them with his normal strength?

He is only scaring them and as for why chase that far is that he can find an early-stage Level-5 beast in their territory and can deal with it with the excess amount of energy.

The chase went on for a few minutes until Sam stopped in his tracks and took a diversion. There was a large python coiled up against a gigantic tree. When the python saw Sam who was brimming with energy, its eye lit up and immediately went into action.

Sam let the python coil him for a few seconds and after it was done coiling, he immediately burst out all the excess energy as held the python's throat in his hand.

Just like that, the python was completely burned right in his hands without even having a chance to escape the predicament.

After clearing the ashes he looked at the skull of the python in which a spatial ring was present and left the place.
