The Rise of the Black Plain

After harvesting the Divine Medicine in front of everyone in the Spatial Kingdom, Minos sat down again and said in a low voice, causing goosebumps to rise in everyone there. "Get ready. I'm going to start improving the quality of my physique."

After Minos' simple but powerful words, his children, Isabella, relatives, friends, and subordinates changed their mood, and everyone tried to concentrate on the beginning of his advance.

From that moment on, they had to pay attention to everything because they could find many answers during the qualitative evolution from a physique to the Divine grade. The professionals there, who were trying to understand alien technologies or even improve their skills, had a lot to gain.

It wasn't much different for those who just wanted to become stronger, as watching the evolution of a cultivator like Minos would be beneficial to everyone, even mid- and high-level Demigods.

Unfortunately, there weren't many people like that in the entire empire. And those with such characteristics were in the empire looking after the good of the state.

Anyway, with the silence of those people focused on him, Minos took off most of his clothes, leaving only something to protect his groin.

Sitting on a large light green cushion, he picked up the Divine Medicine he had chosen for this moment, something shaped like an apple but shining in rainbow colors.

He looked around and saw everyone with closed eyes, circulating their cultivation techniques to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.

'Time to start...' Minos thought as he looked at the medicine in his hands. 'Time to reach the peak of my physique!'

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before he took the first bite of this special fruit, expressing disgust, of course, because medicinal fruits didn't taste good despite their especially good properties.

He immediately turned pale as he devoured the small fruit in three bites, trying hard not to vomit.

He had already blocked his senses before he began to 'taste' the fruit, but that had only reduced the horrible taste to an 'acceptable' level.

With the 'apple' in his stomach, he began to focus on the parts of the medicine in his body.

The medicine he had just eaten had more than 100 times the energy his body could withstand, as well as the proportional density of the laws themselves. If he didn't quickly control what he had just ingested, he might not only miss the opportunity created by this precious resource, but he might also explode and take everyone in the Spatial Kingdom with him into their next life!

He quickly directed this energy to promote the evolution of his cells, be they those of his muscles, bones, nerves, in short, everything that was part of him.

That required millimeter precision, and at the same time, he had to endure great pain while transforming his body, controlling the whole process without making a mistake. The slightest carelessness would lead to the worst possible consequences.

Solar God Breath!

He activated his cultivation technique and began to circulate the spiritual energy of his soul throughout his body. By first transforming his cells, the impurities within them would be released, and he could use his powers to wash away these small parts of his being and improve the quality of his body. To do this, he had to use his soul powers and his special technique to promote the best possible result.

His body began to turn redder and redder. But at the same time, small golden inscriptions appeared on his soul, especially his skin, transforming his mortal parts into divine ones.

His bones began to change color, losing their yellowish-white hue to become completely golden. At the same time, his muscles, ligaments, and tendons also evolved to keep pace with his bones.

A stream of golden spiritual energy gradually formed around him, almost like a star shining at its maximum before exploding.

Evolution had begun!

Minos meticulously followed the process of using the energy released by the medicine to evolve his physique. While every part of his body was immersed in a "cloud" of spiritual energy, his soul was growing in size!

Due to the special requirements of the physique upgrade, Minos could not successfully complete it until he reached level 90.

Emperor Stuart couldn't wait for that to happen before starting the process. So he swallowed the medicine and used his cultivation to prevent his body from absorbing all that spiritual energy.

As he was only one step away from reaching the limit of spiritual energy to reach level 90, he gradually broke through the limit and reached the 10th stage, when the whole process took place in his body.

Every little part of him was transformed under the pressure of the spiritual energy of the Divine-grade medicine, as pain even worse than before spread through Minos' body.

His appearance changed as he made a strong expression of pain while every muscle in his body shook violently.

His soul expanded and contracted like a heart, pulsing as it tried to stabilize itself on a new level amidst the unbridled influx of energy and laws within itself. But unlike what would happen with this organ, his soul got a little bulkier each time this happened!

While Minos endured all this suffering, the people around him were immersed in their meditations. They felt a huge amount of energy and laws at their disposal.

Given the amount of energy that Divine Medicine would release into the environment during and after Minos' ascension, everyone there could achieve improvements in understanding and even levels much more easily.

So everyone was extremely focused at the moment, ignoring how much Minos' aura was increasing to focus on their discoveries.

Crack!

Golden rays of light entered Minos' body, and the typical sound of leveling up echoed through the area, making everyone aware of what had just happened.

'Your Majesty is already level 90!' Several people thought as they tried to take advantage of the opportunity, trying not to lose control of their cultivation techniques.

Black goo began to ooze from the pores of his skin in large quantities but in much smaller amounts than Minos had expelled in previous breakthroughs.

Amid this moment, he trembled and did his best not to fall to the ground, facing the greatest spiritual challenge of his entire life.

Even so, his talent was so high that for him to reach level 90 and improve his Physique to the Divine grade was like ordinary people with golden talents reaching level 80 and a Saint-grade Physique.

"Aaaaaagh!" He shouted in the middle of this important moment in his journey.

At that moment, however, he felt that his Physique was finally breaking through the limits that still stood in its way, breaking through the last barrier to stabilize at Divine grade!

Minos felt something strange awaken in his being as a golden dragon of energy appeared around his body, releasing a powerful aura.

Even without using his Dragon's Gaze, Minos felt this ability of his activating on its own in the middle of the end of his evolution, with this characteristic advancing as well!
