The Rise of the Black Plain

When Minos' black hole appeared between those people, they immediately felt a powerful force trying to absorb their bodies and souls.

That was not a force strong enough to kill them in the blink of an eye, but with every millisecond that passed, it became stronger with what the black hole was absorbing from them.

Yes, as they were surprised by Minos' action, all those people felt parts of themselves being absorbed by it, strengthening it.

With the strengthening of the black hole, in just one second after Minos' movement, the thing was already capable of threatening even the life of someone at level 85.

"Shit!" The weaker ones there shouted the same thing, quickly moving their forces to escape from that growing and frightening space.

They have experienced warriors who have already faced death up close several times in their lives. But for the first time, they saw the darkness of death so close, feeling their hearts beating stronger as their souls trembled in terror.

That fusion of techniques was genuinely terrifying!

No matter the level of its creator, it could continuously evolve as it devoured more powerful bodies, being able to threaten more and more of those in its surroundings.

The action of the black hole was happening at great speed, so by the time they realized what was happening, those people were already feeling their bodies distorting, being drawn into the singularity.

That shocked even the Spiritual Demigod, who at the moment had his eyes wide open, to notice that the movement of a mere Spiritual Saint could make even him shiver!

That wasn't enough to kill him, but he felt part of his strength being eroded and felt temporarily restricted when he found himself within the space of the event horizon.

'Unbelievable!' He thought as he acted to save his companions.

As he acted, he felt that the weakest of them, level 86, was already with his body distorted so that he looked like a noodle, which was extremely shocking to see.

As he looked at that body and got out of there with some difficulty, he felt Minos looking at him defiantly inside that black hole.

He could not hear Minos' voice, but he knew that this man was challenging him to stay, that he could only fight inside that black hole, as he himself would not get out of there.

This man was no fool and quickly left the black hole, appearing back in the Dry City sky, this time with a horrible expression.

Simultaneously, the four Spiritual Sages next to him were pale, one of them with his body extremely deformed and the other three with only parts of their bodies like this.

One had both legs turned into something like spaghetti, and the other had only their feet and hands like that.

Only the Spiritual Demigod had nothing deformed on his body, although he seemed to have spent a significant portion of his powers.

That had not been spent just for him to escape the black hole. Part of his soul power, something small but remarkable, had been left in Minos' black hole!

Because of this developing situation, the elders formerly part of the Gray Clouds Sect and the millions of inhabitants of Dry City were shocked by Minos' capabilities.

Their sovereign had, in one move, wiped the smiles off the faces of these arrogant people, making them feel the drama of acting against this place.

They had no absurd thoughts to think that Minos could defeat a level 90 cultivator. But seeing their sovereign acting so well against someone at that level, many were already proud, feeling fate was on their side.

Even if Minos were defeated or hid inside the black hole, they would not lose their confidence in him. On the contrary, after what they had just seen, they would be even more confident in the future of their emperor!

Amidst this, those five individuals looked at each other, while the weakest one there, level 86, was trembling in pain, feeling that person had ruined his body.

"Damn it! Boss, what is there for us to do? I don't think we can get Lian's body back!" One of them said, feeling his situation and imagining that he would lose his hands and feet.

The Spiritual Demigod looked with hatred at Minos' black hole and thought of using his strength to crush that individual because of that dangerous action.

'The wretch can manipulate space even though he is a Spiritual Saint! I didn't know that!' He thought angrily, feeling the effects of ignorance.

He would never have been surprised if he had known this in advance, and his trusted men would not be seriously injured now!

But while this level 90 man was thinking about finishing off Minos, suddenly, some wormholes appeared on the outskirts of Dry City.

By the time this pirate group arrived, unlike Hannah had done, the leader of the Blood Triangle Pirates had destroyed all the defenses on the outskirts of this city with their entry.

Thus, there were no longer any barriers preventing wormholes from opening to the capital of the Black Plain Empire, allowing even Spiritual Sages to get there.

Women who were in the Endless Snow Mountain Range area then appeared on the outskirts of Dry City, quickly noticing those five people.

Those five also noticed the arrival of guests. They looked at the surprised expressions of those women from the Flowers Kingdom, who were shocked to discover those people so angry and some of them injured.

"Uh? What happened here? Why do they seem to have seen death up close?" A level 85 woman asked aloud,

"Maybe they really did see it..." Another of the four women who arrived there after hearing an emergency call from Dry City in Laura's sect said, looking at Minos' black hole.

'This is almost out of control...'

One of the strongest there then looked at the Spiritual Demigod and said. "Your Excellency, whatever the reason for your visit, I ask that you leave Dry City. It would not be suitable for someone of your status if the news were to run around the Spiritual World that you used your strength to oppress a Spiritual Saint...

It would not be good at all if your leader had his reputation tarnished by a failed action..."

The Flowers Kingdom had good relations with the Evergreen Empire and the Spiritual Church. But the people of that kingdom were by no means subservient or unable to say things contrary to the interests of their allies.

Hearing that from that level 87 woman, the Spiritual Demigod felt humiliated, blaming Minos for all this.

But with his men injured to an intensity, he didn't know if they could recover, and Minos hiding in that 'turtle shell,' he had no choice but to leave.

'Damned Minos Stuart! You'll pay for this!' He hatefully thought before grabbing his people and leaving Dry City without saying a single word.

Immediately after his departure, Minos realized what had happened inside the black hole and moved!

'I will not forget this day, Blood Triangle Pirates, Evergreen family!'
