The tree branches penetrated into his body and soon he stopped moving. Sam still hovered in the air and looked at the tree. The branches for some reason didn't stop moving even after killing the opponent.
The branches kept on growing and soon enveloped the body of that man. He looked like a cocoon. Then, the roots of the tree came out of the soil. With a glow, the cocoon started absorbing the rest of the tree's body.

It is exactly as tall as the cultivator that the tree just consumed. His skin turned into tree bark. There are several small protrusions here and there on his body that looked like branches and twigs.
Sam noticed that glowing weird energy is now surrounding that creature and it eyed him.
