The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2423  Challenging Level 10

In the blink of an eye, the 9 years and 7 months that Minos had promised Soli passed, and they both woke up from their meditation at almost the same time.

Seeing Minos get up from the place where he had been meditating for almost 10 years, Soli sighed and did the same, following him to the exit side of the cultivation area.

"Do you really want to challenge level 10? What are your chances?" She asked curiously, wanting to know if this man could succeed or not.

She sincerely believed that he would not. Logic said it was unlikely, but Minos was a monster, and when the time came for him to try, with only two months left until the end of the Millennium Massacre, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"We'll find out in a few moments." He said with a serious expression on his face, preparing to take the last step inside the pyramid before the heritage event ended.

As he clenched his fists, he thought about how his family must be feeling and imagined himself doing his best in these last moments in The Red Expanse before returning to his group.

'After this step, it will be time for me to prepare for the journey to Zocarro.' He thought as he reappeared in the stairwell, Soli by his side, watching him anxiously.

"See you at the next stage of the legacy, Soli. Good luck when you return to your planet." He smiled at her confidently, with a resolute look in his eyes as he stole her cultivation.

Soli felt weaker at the end of Minos' words, but since she had improved a lot over the past 10 years, she maintained her consciousness while still at the 900th degree.

"Good luck to you as well. I'm curious to hear your story on the next legacy test."

With that exchange of words, Minos moved forward, quickly overcoming the first 35 steps of his path.

He had already expected to overcome the first half of the climb to step number 1,000, so by using the powers of a level 102 Sovereign, he easily overcame the beginning of his journey. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Unlike between levels 8 and 9, when he had to carry Soli for much of the way between those levels, now he didn't have the double pressure of the pyramid on him.

The steps between levels 9 and 10 were definitely the most difficult in the Celestial being's pyramid, but it was still easier to climb those steps alone than to carry someone else.

In less than 20 minutes, Minos reached step 972, when he began to feel the pyramid's oppression growing on him, his forward speed slowing and his strength showing signs of weakening.

Soli watched Minos' progress carefully, waiting for the moment when he would fail.

Even if he reached the 999th degree, that was no guarantee that he would be able to reach level 10!

As she watched him progress, she couldn't help but wish for Minos' failure, feeling the excitement of following something she believed could be the turning point for the next level of the legacy.

'He can't succeed! He can't!' She was nervous as she watched him reach the 984th degree, his cultivation already at level 101 and falling.

Meanwhile, Minos ignored the woman who was watching him and wishing him the worst as he stepped onto the 985th degree, feeling his whole body tremble, his bones breaking with every movement of his body.

The Celestial being looked at young Stuart, watching with interest as the man tried to reach the top of his pyramid.

"Will he make it?" The being's subordinate asked him as the two of them hovered above the pyramid in The Red Expanse.

"Perhaps... It's just a pity he arrived here only a few weeks before I had to send him back to where he came from." Said the Celestial being.

But this being wouldn't go back on his words for anyone's benefit. If Minos could only enjoy the benefits of this inheritance for a few more days, the Celestial being wouldn't change that.

Interested in getting the best out of his heirs, this being would help none of them directly.

"In any case, it will be interesting to see his path to the next test." The Celestial smiled when he saw Minos had reached the 994th degree, and that this young human's cultivation was becoming fragile, showing he would return to level 100.

"He won't be able to improve the quality of his physique in the short time he has left, but maybe he'll make it to the next test. Hehe, I liked this Millennium Massacre. I see I have some suitable heirs to compete in the future."

"Congratulations on your success, master. Soon, you'll have someone to take your place in the Upper Realm!" the subordinate said in a tone of immense joy for his leader.

Minos did not know he was being watched by the Celestial behind this strange dimension. All he cared about was taking the next step and achieving his short-term goal.

'Gloria, Abby and Ruth, wait for me! I'm about to return home!' He smiled through the excruciating pain of reaching the step 999 as blood dripped down his body instead of sweat.

His leg bones were almost completely broken by the time he moved to take the last step, and his cultivation had already returned to level 100.

He did what he could, using his hands to strengthen his deformed or broken limbs, and bravely pushed his way toward level 1,000.

One hour after beginning his challenge to the highest level of the Celestial being's pyramid, Minos reached the last step of his journey!

He used what little he had left to advance toward the cultivation area at the top of the pyramid, shocking Soli, while the two beings from the Upper Realm watched him from the top of the pyramid.

Having reached his goal, Minos would focus on meditating and recuperating in order to make as much progress as possible in the last two months he would have before the end of the Millennium Massacre!
