Even the last attacks Sam landed with the staff are not that great. They are quite simple actually. The only problem is them being lightning attacks and Wind Fiend is too stupid to prepare any defense.

He is the epitome of the saying 'People judge others by their own standards.' He doesn't have the ability to move like Sam and hit like Sam, so he just decided that Sam wouldn't be able to do that too.

Sam was clearly too disappointed. When the lightning user looked at the situation, he decisively halted the battle and yelled a command to the troops before crushing the shadow token.

The troops started to retreat and the Nagin castle troops started their pursuit as they didn't want to lose this chance.

Sam and Arman didn't care about them. They already did what they had to do and with this Sam's contribution would definitely surpass all the special commanders combined. So, he doesn't have to worry about the situation too much. He would receive the rewards he was due. After all, he alone killed a thousand soldiers and even reclaimed bases and finally took out two of the Elite ten. There is no way the other empires can protest.

This is the part of the reason that the rest of the special commanders decided to work together so that they can sweep the rest of the battlefield and diminish Sam's achievements. They would even agree to take equal credit and since they would become one entity in this, the Mov empire can forget about that deal between six empires. At least, that is what their plan.

But with this battle, the balance has already tipped.

Sam himself cleaned more than thirty percent of enemies, which means the rest of the five have to fight for the remaining sixty-five to sixty-eight percent. Even if they distributed evenly they would only get thirteen to fourteen percent.

That is if Sam stops. After all, with the damage, Sam caused, if the Elite ten left him alone like that, their reputation would be worth bullshit.

As for the rest of the time, Sam didn't go and play with the rest of the armies, instead, he and Arman went around to gather food and new beasts to the farm.

Along with that, Sam is also looking for new vegetation so that it could keep up with the livestock he is growing.

He has to maintain the output of the feed and luckily most of the beasts he had as livestock are herbivores and the current output is enough.

After these two days, he directly went to the Origin castle with Arman. Since it is a planet with high lightning elemental energy, Arman might have some encounters. This short training period could be helpful.

Anyway, since even with the enticement of the rewards from the Black horse competition, he still didn't dare to do anything against Sam, it is okay to give him some rewards.

When they reached the Origin castle, Chatur is still in his disguise, but Sam and Arman are not, they didn't bother much as there is no one who knows their faces on that planet.

They went to Vronti and there are already people ready to escort them to their destination.

They didn't beat around the bush and go to Praneeth's home. Since the deal is discussed directly, there is no need to wait.

Anyway, Sam has a lot of things to do back in the Union dimension.

So, they just went on with the journey and they used the beasts of the locality. They are traveling on the ground. The sky here is full of magnetic storms and lightning storms. It is not good for them to fly at all. The beasts that could fly high are not low in cultivation.

For that reason, Raiju also came out and he is jumping around as if he is in a playground. The environment is extremely conducive to electricity as even the soil was like powdered metal. There are many minerals even in normal soil. But due to an excessive mixture of multiple metals it is hard to separate them.

One thing, that surprised Sam is the gravitational effect. It is higher than what he anticipated and for a few minutes, it was hard for him to even move.

Even after he adapted, it would be hard for him to battle at his full strength with his normal body. Of course, it is different if we talk about elemental fusion. After seeing this effect, his mind is full of thoughts. This place is a perfect training zone for warriors, lightning users, and metal users.

He has many ideas flooding his brain and he could see himself being in long-term cooperation with Praneeth.

They traveled for three days straight and finally, reached the vicinities of their first stop.

It is the fruit tree.

When Sam looked at the area, he could help but remember the Tempest Valley in the Central continent of the Desolate planet where Old beast is resting.

It is almost the same, the only problem is that within the valley apart from the tempest, the gravity is many times stronger than outside the valley.

And in the middle of it all, there are five fruit trees.

Sam couldn't help but shudder as he looked at this. Even though the lightning quality is not as strong as the tempest valley, this is not something easy to survive.

Even some Pre-transcendent stage cultivators would die. But the problem is that other than Nascent and Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, no one is allowed to enter. It is because, the clouds causing the lightning seemed to have sentience, and when they feel the presence of someone stronger than the middle-stage Pre-transcendent the lightning will go on a rampage trying its best to kill you.

Legend states that no one was able to escape the lightning storm after they entered if their cultivation level is that high.

Sam was nervous when he looked at the situation. He didn't think it would be this dangerous.

But apart from the nervousness, he is actually quite excited too.

"The fruit here could work wonders. Even though the mushroom is good, its real effect is for the beasts or the Transcendent stage cultivators. But the effect is not too significant for them to die for it. So, mostly Nascent stage cultivators use it.

But these fruits are different. They are mostly suitable for cultivators. But if they didn't take three, they might as well not take any of it.

One fruit wouldn't change anything and if they took two it could even cause imbalance. That is why I asked you.

Are you confident?"

Sam nodded and said.

"I need to examine the environment first."

"One more thing, when you reach the tree and pluck the fruit, you would have to accept a small punishment from the valley. So, be prepared. If you take three, then you would have to take a larger punishment. I wonder if you could take it."

Sam nodded and just stood there at the entrance of the valley.

The lightning is in pale blue color. It is crackling like crazy and unlike the tempest valley that has a continuous rhythm, this doesn't have a pattern at all.

The only pattern that could be visible is that the intensity of lightning is increasing to the deeper portion of the valley.

In every portion, the lightning is striking normally without any rhythm or pattern.

Sam sat there at the entrance for a whole day, but he still couldn't find any pattern. They are extremely random and this would make it hard for him to escape easily.

That evening, there are some people who wanted to try their hand at the fruits and entered the valley.

Out of those three, two people had partial lightning fusion and the last one has full fusion. Their lightning is also of different colors and the quality and intensity is nowhere near Arman's lightning much less compare to his silver lightning.

But they are good, they seemed to have experienced this before.

They are mostly trying to dodge the lightning strikes, but it is not easy to do so. So, they dodged as much as they can and let the lightning strike their bodies.

Initially, the two with the partial fusion are having a harder time in the portion of the valley nearest to the entrance.

The one with the complete fusion has no problem moving easily. But this changed when they reached half-way.

The gravity which Sam initially thought was normal gravity is actually extreme magnetic force.

It is making their lightning bodies react a bit and clearly, they are having a tough time controlling their fusion. But if they didn't do so, they would die from the continuous lightning strikes.

One guy with the least amount of fusion couldn't take it anymore and give up early, the second person also gave up after his fusion body fluctuated and he retreated to avoid backlash.

The last person was just a few steps away from the tree and he wanted to extend his hand, but the lightning strikes are something he couldn't handle.

Even his fusion body is injured and he immediately ran backward without care.

He fell to his knees at the entrance and coughed up blood. His friends took care of him and they left the place together.
