The Rise of the Black Plain

Upon entering what looked like a large greenhouse of about 10,000 square meters, Minos' group was confronted with plants that covered much of the space there.

Roots exceeded the boundaries of the areas intended for plants and covered the corridor intended for human passage, making it difficult to walk in the area.

A strong smell of plants emanated from the surroundings, while the spiritual density there was not small.

These were not ordinary plants but Saint medicines!

However, they were somewhat different from the plants Forrest had mentioned.

"Hmm, they have changed a lot since this place was abandoned," Minos muttered as he realized that these were the herbs Forrest had mentioned, but they were also something new. "I can't say if they still have the same positive effects as those herbs, but they are Saint-grade medicines.

They have their value."

Hearing that, Harold looked at the plants around him and felt like harvesting them, even if they weren't as good as what Forrest had said.

He would still be interested in them even if they had only 1% of their former potential!

Unlike the rest of his group, he could only rely on outside resources to increase his strength. Even with the help of the Spatial Kingdom, this man did not expect to one day become a Demigod without the help of outside resources.

Unfortunately, he had aged a long time before he managed to reach the 9th stage, and even after that, he had spent quite a bit of time at the beginning of this stage.

"How do we harvest them?" He asked Minos.

Medicines could not be harvested just like that. One could easily damage their quality and destroy the part of them that was capable of producing the benefits that made humans and beasts value them so much.

Minos then took some items from his spatial ring and showed them to his father-in-law. "With this here."

"Oh? You have such a thing of high-level grade-4?" Forrest was surprised at the quality of the items Minos had just shown him.

Minos lied. "I found this in an heirloom from an ancient level 99 Demigod I met on my journey."

Forrest didn't think it was a lie and thought it made sense. Minos had probably received a good heirloom many years ago and changed his own destiny with it.

Stories like his were rare in the Spiritual World. Still, a few experts achieve great things in every generation through their chance encounters.

Cultivation was very complicated, and one would have to go through countless challenges and difficult times to reach the peak. Therefore, it wasn't something like death that would cause experts who had suffered so much to completely disappear from the world.

Almost every peak expert would leave behind at least one heirloom to mark their passage through the world and pass on to others at least some of what they had painstakingly built.

This was not as simple as the transfer of power between dragons through cannibalism, but in a way, it was a power transfer.

With techniques, resources, or even knowledge, even someone of low talent could perform remarkable feats!

Minos then looked at one of the mature herbs and decided to harvest it for Isabella.

As he did so, their group kept their guard up, watching their surroundings in anticipation of trouble.

There were many opportunities in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom, but for every one of them, there was a high chance that something dangerous was nearby!

Traps, enemies, competitors, in short, anything was possible in this place, before, during, or after any situation.

They could only be sure they would be safe once they left this room and returned to the Flaming Empire!

As Minos placed the blade of the scissors in the place it was supposed to cut, he suddenly heard something and took his eyes off the medicine to look ahead.

He saw the leaves of one of the plants move.

His eyes flashed in a rainbow of colors, and as he focused on the space in front of him, he saw a scaly creature with no arms or legs crawling across the area.

'A snake?' He found that strange.

As in every Spatial Kingdom, there was plant and animal life in this place.

Every such space had creatures that kept the environment in balance, and that would only leave their positions if the God that created such a space, or a new God that entered it, ordered them to do so.

But this space had been severely damaged, and the creatures of the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom no longer followed the orders of the creator of this space.

Since this space was divided into several smaller parts, and others were completely destroyed at the time of the great battle that damaged this zone, there was no way for these beings to follow the ancient rules of it.

Each being there did as they pleased, trying their best to maintain their existence without destroying the remnants created by their God.

Knowing these creatures, Minos knew that any creatures that still existed there would be enemies to him and his group.

Infinite Dream!

A lightning bolt shot out of his eyes and quickly hit the level 89 creature, giving it no chance to dodge.

A second later, Minos received pertinent information.

"We're surrounded!" He shouted, quickly expanding his senses and noticing ten more snakes hiding in the trees, underground, and even on the area's roof.

These creatures could disguise their presence and mental fluctuations, so no one had noticed their presence in the area until Minos noticed it.

When they heard his voice, especially the women of Minos looked at the surroundings differently and saw this place as it really was.

Abby saw that the piece of wood in front of her was not wood, but a snake over 20 meters long, as thick as her body.

But Ruth felt something much worse as she looked over and saw the eyes of the snake beside her open and look right into her eyes.

Gulp!

"Shit!"

As she unconsciously screamed, she saw the creature lunge at her.

.

Nothingness!

Her body became semi-transparent, and the creature didn't hit her but went through Ruth and toward one of the two Demigods there.

Seeing the first attacking creature flying toward him, Forrest's partner Demigod created a blade of spiritual energy and struck a single blow.

Swooish!

The large snake was split in half in an instant, revealing its disgusting insides as dozens of gallons of icy blood fell upon their group.

At that moment, they all activated their defensive and offensive techniques once again, starting another battle!
