The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2303

After some time, Minos' group was closer to where the grave surrounded by black liquid was.

As soon as they reached that place, Minos saw the ghostly creatures and various kinds of malicious attacks from the surrounding negativity being launched at them.

He made his move by borrowing the cultivation of his companions and brought his cultivation to the peak of level 99. Even though he was at level 98, and he usually would have gained 2 levels of power by using his innate ability, the difference between the 10th and 11th stages was so great he couldn't do it today.

However, his strength had reached the absolute peak of a cultivator's strength in the Mortal Journey.

Minos had already made his allies afraid of his power, so he didn't hide anything anymore. As soon as he reached the critical point between the 10th and 11th stages, he spread his golden wings, showing the power of this absorbable weapon.

It emitted a golden glow as he activated his most advanced technique, Nullification!

The moment he stood in front of his group in that piece of forest that corrosive and negative forces had degraded, he made several of the spectral creatures that only he could see disappear.

His group couldn't see these creatures, but they could feel the terrible auras around them, staring at them as if they wanted their bodies.

When Minos acted, and several of these auras disappeared, his group members realized it was because of him that the level 114 general behind this group had confidence in them.

Minos' allies felt the terrible spiritual fluctuations they were sure could kill them being erased by their ally, and they felt even more respect for this brown-haired man.

Minos' wings moved, and several golden feathers flew out from both of them, flying in specific directions to attack the negative creatures in the area and make the many creatures attacking them a little afraid.

There were a lot of creatures there. It seemed that for every one Minos killed, two or three new creatures appeared in the area, while skeletons began to rise from the ground and turn on them.

"It's not for nothing that so many of our sect have failed to get what's in this place," Ruth muttered as she stood in battle position with the others.

They were all a little behind Minos without getting involved in the fight. Now that they had reached the most important place in this place for them, their goal there was simple. To help Emperor Stuart, who had the best powers and possibilities.

They weren't there to work with Minos. They were there to support him in terms of level, energy, and ability to recover.

The hostile creatures around this area were so strong and threatening that if any of them tried to venture out as Minos did, they would be possessed, and their souls would be destroyed.

They watched Minos use various techniques and skills for 20 minutes until the guy was practically exhausted, and they retreated from the area.

"We have to move away for a while so that I can recover. When we're ready, we'll resume the attack." He said as he retreated with his group.

"Will that work?" One of the Spiritual World companions asked him.

"Yes, the creatures I killed won't be able to recover. And the others will only recover a little. Since they can't venture out of this dark area, they won't come after us." Minos said as he left this negative place.

"Is that all? Why haven't other groups done this before?" One of their allies asked.

"It may sound simple, but without a power that allows you to see these creatures and another that allows you to kill them, you would never be able to follow this simple plan," Minos said, confident that 99% of the cultivators who entered The Obsidian Shore wouldn't be able to accomplish what he did in this place.

"Then you're lucky." Another alien said.

"The more I succeed, the luckier I seem to be." Minos laughed, but he couldn't deny that his abilities really were extraordinary and made the situations he got into seem convenient.

But that wasn't luck. Beings like him would sooner or later end up in places where they would be compatible or at least able to influence them differently than "normal" beings.

He had been chosen for this mission on purpose.

In addition to the Bright Eyes and his ability to raise his cultivation level, he also possessed the Dark Sea, a powerful mental technique, and the aura of a dragon. It would be tough for that tomb to affect him, so the level 114 General had decided to give him this opportunity and was confident that he would succeed.

But as Minos himself had told his companions, it would take time and effort to reach their destination in this area. He'd have to spend the next few days dealing with the many lost souls in the area if he was to get the chance his superiors had been waiting for.

...

Two weeks after the first battle against the harmful creatures at the Black Heart mission site, Minos' group was still on the area's outskirts.

Minos had fought the ghosts and dead souls of this place several times, using the fight-and-retreat strategy.

It had paid off, and he expected to reach his destination in the area in another week.

However, things would only get harder once that happened, so he was already preparing for the most important battle in the area.

Amid this, other groups of beings who had entered The Obsidian Shore had passed close by and gotten into trouble with his group.

That had resulted in three battles for the group, with the first casualty among their 16 members since they entered this dangerous region over two years ago.

The group was wiser to the threats of those who also wanted the useful resource of the death worshippers, so some of them were now positioned around the area to keep an eye on the terrain in which they operated.

Meanwhile, Minos and some of the group entered the area's place of doom again for another big fight to clear a path to the tomb where the body of an ancient creature lay.

As they approached the corpse, Minos's opponents grew stronger, demanding more from the young level 98 Grandmaster.

Soon, he would face the most powerful of these beings, a magnificent level 106 shadow that surrounded this land of doom!
