Sam caught up with the Old wolf and followed it, the path was a little troublesome for the wolf but Sam helped it from the side lines. They were closing to the Red and Black smoke after many days of journey.

For some reason, Sam felt nostalgic about going back to the place where it all began. He felt like he had some invisible connection to this place.

Soon the Wolf reached the Red and Black smoke, It stood there as if contemplating.

Then with determined gaze it entered the red smoked area.

Just as it entered the Red smoke it started shivering in pain and howling but it still kept on moving.

After moving more than 10 meter it fell down and started rolling around in pain.

The Red smoke was entering it's body through its pores, Sam was observing the wolf through his spiritual sense. Even though he couldn't spread his spiritual sense into a wide area inside the red smoke, 10 meter was within his limits.

Soon the wolf stopped struggling and became motionless, Sam thought the wolf had died but he kept observing for some time and as he was going to withdraw his spiritual sense he detected a small movement from the wolf.

Then all of a sudden it started shedding its grey and white fur, soon it became completely bald.

One could see red veins going through its body, then new fur started coming out that were red in color.

The wolf stood up once again after a while, but it had completely transformed. It looked young and vigorous.

Before entering the red smoke it was a level 1 spirit beast and now it had broken through to Level 2, The blood thirst emitted by it was bone chilling.

For some reason it turned back and looked towards the direction Sam was in and gave a howl.

Sam was startled; he didn't know whether the wolf noticed him just now, or did it always know.

After the wolf left to the interior of the red smoke Sam just stood there contemplating and he came to a decision to observe further.

Soon he started roaming the borders of the red and black smoke.

...

One more week has passed by and Sam had a general understanding of this place, he observed the other beast that came to the red and black smoke.

Of the 100% that came and entered the Red and Black smoke only 10% survived, and those beast that survived never came back outside but went further into the smoke.

He also found that the beasts that had poisonous elements in them and some others, entered the Black smoke and went through a similar transformation.

Sam was not sure if this was the path he should choose, the truth was that this was really a dangerous thing and he had the feeling that humans surviving this situation was close to nil.

But after absorbing the green jade and the blood cell from the bloody church, he knew he might stand a chance.

He was thinking of using the red smoke to break through to the supreme warrior realm, when he reached the peak of the True warrior realm.

What Sam didn't know was that there was a long forgotten legend of this planet.

In the legends the planet was once called an evil planet Raai, nothing survived here and the planet was completely covered in Red and Black smoke.

A sage arrived on the planet and transformed the entire planet into what it is now, the legend was long lost in history and no one knew about it.

After seeing a ray of hope, Sam started gaining his confidence back, he planned on returning and cultivating arduously.

He was in the third tier of the True warrior realm and had a long way to reach the peak of the 9th tier.

He started moving back to the village, it took him many days to reach the village but before he even reached the village he met with the Evil sword which had come looking for him.

Evil sword " Sam things are bad, you can't go back to the village ..... The village is entirely surrounded, we need to leave immediately .... There is a high chance that your identity has been exposed and they have come looking for you..."

Sam was startled " how can that be, I have always been careful and Maya's technique can't be seen through by anyone .... unless it is a supreme warrior or someone of similar level.."

Sam " what is the situation in the village, what did you find out..."

Evil sword " They arrived at the village looking for a rebel, the person leading the troops is someone in the 8th tier of the True warrior realm..."

Sam " Then it could also be someone else... let's go and take a look first..."

Evil Sword " No, things aren't that simple .... I could feel the killing intent of the troops... they are not just here for a single rebel..."

After talking with Evil sword for some time, Sam decided to sneak into the village to take a look at the situation.
