Chapter 1130: Breakthrough

While the two branch leaders and the branches are in turmoil with the newfound information, Sam and his team appeared near the Thunder Phoenix valley.

Currently, the valley is on a complete lockdown and a couple of elders are patrolling it along with the guard team.

The valley is the reason for the small group of elders to not participate in the fight against Sam.

Otherwise, these people might also have been done for.

Even though there is not much security and there are definitely not many people here, Sam didn't immediately make a move, because currently, Night Ghost is about to make a breakthrough.

So, Sam and the team camped a few kilometers away from the valley and let him breakthrough. If he broke through they would have an Initial stage Consummate at hand. Even though he just broke through, he is still on that level and could kill the enemies when used in a perfect plan.

They didn't hurry.

Night Ghost sat down cross-legged and started pushing for the breakthrough. For the whole night, the rest of the team saw him struggle with the bottleneck and he was done only dawn.

After that, they made a move openly, now that he broke through, he also needs to get used to the new energy, and the elders who are still in the Astral Plane Transcendence are perfect targets.

He knocked them down in a few seconds and his team took over the valley for themselves.

The first thing that Sam did is not to search for the entrance of the divine dimension, rather it is to check the corpse.

He could still feel the aura trying to suppress his different elements, only when Sam activated his Raiju bloodline did he manage to overcome the suppression because of its lightning affinity.

He checked the skeleton with the observation ability and after making sure that it is completely unscathed, he smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the skeleton disappeared.

The rest of his team was stunned.

They didn't expect Sam to steal the skeleton. But when they thought of how precious the bones are and what kind of weapons they could be made into, they didn't feel that surprised. It is really a waste to leave the skeleton to an organization that is about to be collapsed anyway.

After that, Sam concentrated on his sense of smell and activated the Raiju bloodline to his limit and searched around, after a few minutes, he could feel some unique smell attracting him and he started moving deeper and deeper into the valley.

Soon, he saw a small creek which is not even fit for a shadow mouse to normally go in, he used his earth elemental energy to extend, and finally, he saw a small spatial crack inside the creek.

He really didn't think that the puppet organization would have left such a crack undiscovered. He got curious and deactivated his raiju bloodline and to his surprise, the crack disappeared completely.

The Old Beast sure was cautious.

None of his senses, including his spiritual sense, couldn't identify the presence of the space crack.

He extended his hand and he was immediately sucked in.

He was stunned by what he saw inside.

All that was present is a mass of land. It is not even that big.

There is only a pool of blood in the middle of the mass of the land. The color of the blood is a mixture of red and purple.

Sam could sense the immense lightning energy present inside. He couldn't help but feel the temptation from his raiju bloodline.

This is also the best choice for him at the moment as the next evolution of his body would be of the lightning element due to the Raiju bloodline.

He removed his clothes and then jumped from the edge of the pool and landed in the middle of the pool. The blood is so dense and condensed as he slowly reached the bottom of the pool.

He was completely surrounded by the lightning elemental energy and the Raiju bloodline in his body is directly absorbing the condensed blood.

It is not even absorbing the essence and energy. The condensed blood is directly being absorbed and consumed.

He felt like his body is being torn apart as the blood is being rapidly absorbed inside through the pores of the skin.

The pain that he is experiencing is something he couldn't explain. It is as if every single pore is being expanded forcefully.

The rest of the team who followed Sam saw him disappearing in the middle of nowhere.

They couldn't see the crack at first, but after Sam started absorbing the pool, they could see the spatial crack too and it started expanding bit by bit and soon turned into an entrance big enough for a grown man to enter.

Vidyut felt the strong sense of lightning energy inside. He could feel how turbulent and controlled the energy is.

After exchanging a glance, they decided to enter the crack and soon they found themselves in the small landmass.

They saw a large whirlpool happening in the pool of blood and in the eye of the whirlpool Sam is sitting crosslegged with a painful sensation. He is completely naked and they could see his veins clearly visible from the outside of his body as they glowed with lightning elemental energy. It is almost like purple red lightning flowing in his veins.

This process continued for hours and only by evening did the blood completely disappear.

But Sam still didn't move, the dense lightning energy is still being circulated inside.

The team ran towards him to check up on him, but when they extended their hands, they could see the aversion the lightning energy is showing towards them.

Currently, Sam is like an overcharged battery.

They didn't know what to do and just waited there.

But from the looks of it, his vitals are still fine and from his expression, his pain also seemed to have eased a bit.

So, they didn't worry too much and sat there around.

After another hour or two, they finally sensed a change in Sam's situation. The turbulent circulation of lightning energy inside his body started calming down and became gentle and dense.

Soon they saw a faint silver spark in the middle of all the purple blood lightning circulation and it slowly started spreading. The purple blood lightning became silver very slowly and after a long time, it finally turned completely turned into silver lightning which also started disappearing.

Only by night did they see the lightning energy completely being assimilated within Sam.

All of a sudden, Sam opened his eyes and shook his hand to let the beasts out of the divine dimension. The beasts immediately surrounded him and Dia used the gravitational, manipulation to slowly lift him out and carefully take him out of the crack leading outside.

Before long the whole group of beasts came outside of the lightning divine dimension and appeared in the valley preparing for the breakthrough.

All beasts formed a circle around Sam and finally, he managed to find relief as he spread the overcharged energy to the rest of the beasts.

While doing so, Sam finally understood how he is going to break through to the Middle stage of Transcendence directly even though there is much more energy.

It is because he has to share this with the rest of the beasts.

If a cultivator doesn't have to share this energy and managed to refine the energy and assimilate it into their body, they would have managed to break through from Peak stage Pre-transcendence to at least late-stage if not the peak stage of Transcendence.

But with the addition of all his beasts, he wouldn't be able to do so. But still assimilating and refining the energy is not exactly a walk in the park.

After another hour, the breakthrough was finally completed and all the beasts opened their eyes. But Sam didn't. They looked at Sam carefully and particularly Raiju who is looking at him with glowing and exciting eyes.

Sam's body is completely surrounded by lightning energy. The silver lightning crackled all over his body and it turned into a current as it entered his veins.

It was divided into two small parts, one went to his brain, the other went to his nose, and final one which is the largest part surrounded his legs.

The lightning energy completely seeped into the cells of his body as it evolved some parts. The small parts that entered his nose and the brain are altering his olfactory nerves to improve his sense of smell.

While the lightning energy that is seeping into his body is slightly altering his muscle structure and bone density to improve his leg strength.

As the time slowly passed, he could faintly feel the changes in the body.

When he finally opened his eyes and relaxed, he could finally understand how much his sense of smell improved.

He could sense the presence of the teammates through his nose more clearly than his eyes and the improvement is too high that he has an urge to close his nose and block the smell immediately.
