nThe valley is currently filled with sounds of battle, rage, and screams. The beasts and the Consummate stage cultivators clashed and Sam, Yanwu, and the rest of his beasts are clashing with the Astral Plane cultivators.

nThe Raiju elder didn't make the move immediately and waited on the side.

nCurrently out of the two dozen Astral Plane cultivators, around eighteen of them are in the Initial stage and the rest of them are in the middle stage of Astral Plane Initiation.

nIt could be said that this is a tough competition for Sam. But not when he is using different tricks.

nHe created new energy cell explosives. Particularly the water elemental ones. The Solar fragments all have fire elemental expertise. So, obviously, they are careful about the water elemental explosive.

nAnd Sam didn't even stand of ceremony with thoughts like having a fair fight when he did with the barbarian realm. He only has one thought in mind, killing ruthlessly and his beasts complied with him on that.

nWhile they kept the Astral Plane cultivator busy, Sam held a mini rocket launcher on his shoulder as he aimed at the opponents from his harbinger.

nEven if the energy cells landed directly they are not powerful enough to kill them, but they would surely be damaged severely and Sam is okay with that. And along with normal water elemental explosions, Sam used poison explosives.

nAnd the Astral Plane level poison is no joke.

nOnce he made sure that he hit every single one of them with this poison and water elemental explosive at least once, Sam stored the rocket launcher away and took out the reaper and executioner swords along with his shadows, and jumped in.

nThe fight became nasty. In fact too nasty as he savagely cut one after another. It was extremely one-sided and even when Sam is the one being outnumbered.

nSam left the leader alive to get the gist of the plan while he threw the rest of the bodies to Yanwu so that he could munch on.

nThis would be enough for him to break through to the Middle stage of Initiation.

nMeanwhile, the Dragon hawk tribe and the Kala tribe's people came and they took on the Consummate level solar fragments that are fighting with the beasts. Even though there are many rare beasts the solar fragments still had a slight upper hand. But now that these two teams came. They are already done for.

nAfter the battle which started abruptly was over as fast as it started, a small camp was arranged around the valley and Sam started questioning the team leader of the Astral Plane cultivators that he captured.

n

"What is your plan? Or what are your duties?

"

nSam asked while he held the gun over one of the fingers of the team leader.

n

"Our team is actually here to only set the base and to estimate your strength. We are not the main force of the Solar fragments. In fact, we are disposables and the bottom of the Astral Plane cultivators of the tribe.

"

n

"So, after estimating our strength, what are you going to do?

"

n

"I don't know exactly what it is. But the main force will come here only after a week and that too only half of the force will come.

nThey didn't let me in on the full plan and I only got a gist. After staying here for a week, we will perform small attacks on your places using the Major powers and estimate the strength you hold in this planet and after that, I will be informing the leader of the first half of the main force.

nHe would make a decision whether he should fight with and finish you off faster or if he should hold you in your place with some defensive measures and wait for the second half of the main force.

"

n

"So, why are you guys not sending main force directly?

"

n

"I don't know about that. They said it was a strategy. But I heard something along the lines that it is difficult to send all the people at the same time. I don't know the exact and accurate reasons.

"

n

"Where do you plan to meet them?

"

n

"They will be coming for us. They can track us down.

"

n

"How are they sending you guys here?

"

n

"There is a large set up there with a lot of Space gate formations and hundreds of millions of spirit stones with a lot of Space gate experts making something. I cannot understand what was happening exactly.

"

n

"Then I don't have much use for you.

"

nWith that, Sam sliced his throat. But he didn't give body to Yanwu. He has other things to do with it and he has to do it in the divine dimension as it takes a long time and a lot of energy.

nBut before that, he left the Raiju elder in the valley along with his beasts and he went back to the city to get the reports of the situation in other places.

nThey have a vast information network with many spies within the major powers. They might not be able to give the information to Sam about major things that happen at the top of the faction, but they can give normal and regular information about the changes there and they sent the information regarding these solar fragments.

nThe major powers will have half a dozen Consummate stage cultivators at most, but the solar fragments sent dozens of them here to wage a war on Sam.

nThe solar fragments magically appeared through the space gates of the thunder god temple, lightning spear sect, and the Thunderbolt sect.

nNow Sam could understand the exact use of those devices that are installed in the space gates. These devices make it possible for the solar fragments to use the special transference scrolls and reach the major powers.

nFrom there the attacks began. Since Sam shut down most of the space gates connecting the organization and the city with the major powers, they had to use the sources that he deliberately left open which made them appear out of the city and a few other places that are considered the outskirts for the organization and the war began.

nMost of the war was taken over by the puppets and the defense mechanisms. Grenades, large crossbows, bio-fuel, methane gas, Impact cannons, methane shell cannons, poison gases, large hunter traps.

nThe war is over in a flash.

nIf only the Solar Fragments tribe knew how resourceful and systematic the dusk organization is and how detailed Sam made his planning when building this whole thing, they wouldn't have had to suffer this many losses.

nAfter this first wave of war which was nipped in its buds, Sam sent people to the major powers.

nSince he already got the purpose of the major powers, there is no need for him to hold back on them. The current heads are dead and his major supporters are crippled with new heads appointed overnight.

nIf not for the fact, Sam is completely bothered by the ruling and stuff, he would have taken over.

nAfter the major powers are settled with their new heads who are still shaking in their boots, because they saw the execution of their predecessor, Sam went on with his tasks.

nThe first one is planning a surprise with the body of the Solar Fragment he kept intact and other gifts alongside so that he could have an easy time when the main force arrives.

nThe second thing is to prepare for the breakthrough. Within the next few days, Sam would become Middle stage Astral Plane Initiation cultivator.

nBut he is not that happy, even though this is fast by any standards.

nHe is concerned. The leader of the Solar Fragment tribe is actually a Peak stage Astral Plane Pre-transcendent.

nThis is more troublesome than killing a Consummate as a Nascent stage cultivator.

nHe has to do the utmost planning and make many considerations.

nIf only he could get some information.

nAs he thought of this, he immediately went to the formation that leads to the shop. Currently, he took down four powers under different gods and he has four heirlooms in his hands. But he didn't go for the exchange because he didn't need to immediately.

nBut since he cannot contact the gods at this moment, he has to find the only possible way to get in touch with them.

nThat is this shop. At first, he wanted to accumulate the heirlooms for something else, but now he has no choice.

nWhen Sam's consciousness entered the shop space, the Avatar asked what he wanted.

nSam didn't even take a look at the list of resources and said.

n

"I want to buy information.

"

n

"What information exactly?

"

n

"The Solar Fragment tribe is currently attacking the desolate through a special space gate. I want to know what the exact number of people or the most powerful person that could be sent through this space gate.

"

n

"Sorry, that information is not possible to obtain. You can ask something that your god allowed you to ask.

"

n

"May I know what they are?

"

n

"Explanations of the resources.

nConsultation on the resources' usefulness to you.

nInformation on the location of certain resources.

nLing Tian's opinions and guidance on certain aspects.

"

nSam was dumbfounded. He doesn't know that there is a way like this to contact as he didn't care too much about the shop. But now it seems this is the best product they are offering here.

n

"I want the fourth one.

"

n

"Ling Tian will contact you shortly on his own. You have to wait. Do you want anything else?

"

nSam asked for something which needed some consultation for even the shopkeeper, so he paid with one heirloom, and his consciousness left.

n
