The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1719

Realizing how his oldest offensive technique had become, Minos made a simple motion, and a second later, several blades appeared in the direction of one of the giant bones in that area.

The dozens of people in the Spatial Kingdom noticed this and were surprised, as they had barely sensed Minos activating his technique when the attack was already about to hit one of those bones.

'Excellent!' He smiled before looking down at his Indestructible Body.

'My body is now so strong while this technique is active that one punch of mine would be able to rupture the space tissue so as to create chaotic wormholes.

A fight using only this would throw the surroundings into chaos, and in addition to hindering movements of Spiritual Sages, it could injure even those hidden in the vacuum of space in space pockets.'

He then checked his Infinite Dream and the Bright Eyes skill he had gained as a passive skill from this technique in his last stage advancement.

In the first stage of the Infinite Dream, he could only affect at most one person 100% more mentally powerful than him. But currently, he could affect eight people 100% stronger than him!

If they were weaker people, this number could rise significantly. For example, he could simultaneously take down over 300 people at the same level as Sarah, 62, with just one look, or rather a single activation.

As for his Bright Eyes, this ability already enabled Minos to see the spiritual fluctuations of those in front of him. But now he could also see through the gaps in space when using such an ability, which could help him see enemies watching him from pockets in the vacuum and better understand the fabric of space.

He activated this ability and looked at the giant corpse in his Spatial Kingdom and saw it seemed to be integrating more deeply into this alternate space than he thought.

'Will it nurture the Spatial Kingdom?' Minos wondered, impressed because if it did, it would mean it was a level above the most valuable thing that existed in this world!

Since the outcome of this would be magnificent, he immediately enjoyed seeing what was actually happening in his Spatial Kingdom.

'This will be good. There are many medicines here, and this place can benefit many of my forces!'

Minos had his selfish side, but even if he reached level 100 one day, he was not confident this would be enough for him alone to use everything from a corpse-like Fah'um of Dunov. Even fleshless and poorly preserved skeletons were difficult for even Gods to move, so this corpse would be too much for him even if he were a God.

In that case, letting such a thing be absorbed into the Spatial Kingdom would be best for him and his people!

After considering this, he turned his focus to his techniques, causing the aura around him to change and a sense of speed to arise from it.

The surroundings became somewhat distorted as Minos felt how the Explosive Steps had developed in this phase.

'While using this movement technique, my maximum speed is now 400 meters per second, and my senses are 70% faster than before. Hmm, with that, I should deal well with surprise attacks from even level 89 Spiritual Sages.

Only someone above that level would be able to surprise me now!'

The space in his surroundings changed once again, with the gravity changing as he checked Chaotic Gravity.

'That feeling...' He noticed his connection to the black holes inside the Black Hole Bombs in Dry City increasing, even though he was in this alternate space.

He felt that his control over his black holes would be greater now that he had advanced, but the sensation he felt seemed strange.

'Hmm, I'll test it when I return to Dry City.' He pondered before temporarily putting that technique aside to analyze his cultivation technique.

His technique had improved dramatically in terms of its speed of absorbing spiritual energy. Still, due to his increased cultivation, it would take him longer to advance at this new stage.

Even using his innate ability to steal the cultivation base of the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom, it would still take him more than twice as long to advance at this stage as at the previous one!

'Despite that, it will still be a magnificent cultivation speed if I compare it to that of most people in the Spiritual World...' He remembered Henricus Longus' memories but also his current knowledge of the society he lived in.

'In any case, I shouldn't advance to level 81 in less than three years.' He sighed.

His cultivation speed would be excellent, but considering the number of high-level problems about him, he couldn't help but worry.

He had never been in such a hurry to become stronger as he was now!

He clenched his fists and imagined that it would take another 35 to 40 years or so to advance a stage again.

But at that time, he would finally raise the quality of his Physique for one last time and change everything about himself!

He clenched his fists and looked at the last technique he had learned, which had blended least with his natural characteristics, given how little time he had been with it.

He had been with this technique for almost 20 years, but it was still not as connected to him as the older ones.

So he needed to activate it, causing the Avatar of Space and Time to show itself to everyone around him.

When the avatar appeared, it was much denser than before, looking more realistic and more like Minos, while its powers were much more intense.

The size of its domain doubled in space, while the difference in the passage of time between the inside and outside of its domain tripled.

The bonus he would have when activating his other techniques in the form of soul projection also improved, from a previous 10% improvement to one of 20% now.

Finishing checking all his techniques, Minos finally sighed in satisfaction at his growth as a cultivator and picked up a golden scroll from one of his spatial rings.

"Now it's time for me to learn my 9th technique..." He muttered in a low voice as his observers continued to watch him intently.

Everyone was curious about the new technique he would learn and how it would strengthen him. So as he read the scroll and began to learn his new skill, conversations spilled out, with Sarah and Kendrick among the most curious.

This was particularly true for this young man who had become a cultivator a few weeks ago!
