The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1161 The End Of The First Test

After an hour of combat, the last enemies in that place finally died' in the face of the group led by Abby and Minos!

At that moment in question, there were still about 50,000 skeletons alive on Minos' side, each of them excited about having eliminated their opponents and still 'sighing' for one last time.

It was genuinely pleasurable to carry out its revenge and still have the chance to observe its deeds, calmly 'breathing.'

'They are finally dead...' So, the city lord thought, as little by little, his consciousness was diluted.

At the same time, the weaker ones in the surroundings were already falling unconscious, leaving lifeless skeletons behind.

Seeing this, Abby, who had not yet begun to cultivate and was quite exhausted, focused in the direction of the skeletons who had helped them and felt sorry for them.

One of them made a hand gesture, indicating that everything was fine. "Good luck to you..."

"We hope that you will be able to complete this inheritance..."

"Best..."

Several of them said their final words as they began to lose control over their bodies, equal to the thousands of skeletons in the surroundings.

Abby's eyes grew watery as she watched the end of these creatures, with her leaning on her man's chest to keep from falling to the ground.

Then, as Minos held Abby by her tiny waist, the last of those skeletons finished falling to the ground before their yellowish bones began to crumble.

Not only the bones of their allies suffered this effect, but also those of the bodies of their enemies, not only in that place but in all the areas they had passed through in the last few days.

In that instant, their bones turned into small light particles, heading towards the sky before disappearing without a trace.

In the end, only the three living beings were left behind in that great graveyard, while the unique energy of the dead enemies waited to be absorbed.

"Sigh..."

"They are all gone..." Then, Minos observed the area, where only the traces of battle showed that those beings had once been there.

Other than that, nothing indicated that just moments ago, tens of thousands of individuals had fought bravely in this place.

"What do we do now?" Wilfred asked in doubt as he noticed that his acquired items were still in his spatial ring. 'Good thing they didn't disappear along with the skeletons...'

Minos looked at that black-haired fellow and then turned his attention back to his wife. "I think that until you finish absorbing this special energy, we won't be able to move forward..."

"Hmmm, I'll do that now." She understood what she had to do and, without delay, picked up her cultivation cushion and sat down next to where her husband was.

As for Wilfred, he had already absorbed the unique energy of all the enemies he had killed, so there was nothing left for him.

So, while Abby was recovering and absorbing that unique energy, he approached Minos and handed this King a spatial ring.

"As you ordered, I have collected all the items left behind from the ones killed by Your Majesties." He said while he had a look of admiration on his face.

The number of items in that ring was 100 times greater than what he had managed to gather in this place!

Not only that, while he had only gotten high-level grade-2 items, part of the things that Minos and Abby had conquered were low-level grade-3 ones!

Knowing this, this fellow could not help but feel a little envious.

But that was not all. No, Wilfred knew that the Black Plain did not have many grade-3 items as very little time had passed since the first professionals of that rank appeared in such a territory.

In other words, Minos and Abby's gains in this place had been highly significant to the Black Plain and could make that territory even more powerful!

'Sigh!'

'How far will the Black Plain go?' He wondered as he watched Minos analyze the items he had collected in the previous days. 'I don't doubt that Spiritual Saints will appear there in a few years...'

'After everything I've seen here, this is no longer an absurd dream but something that will happen in a matter of time!' He sat back as he waited for the end of this test.

'I wonder how the region would react if they discovered his real power...'

...

After dozens of minutes, Abby finished absorbing the last remnants of the unique energy left by her enemies.

When she opened her eyes and got up, not only she but Minos and Wilfred saw the skies of that area getting agitated, as if a storm was forming.

But this was no storm!

A giant black vortex quickly formed in the sky above them, giving off a strange feeling to the two next to Minos.

"I think we need to fly in that direction, my love," Abby commented to him as she looked into the 'eye' of the vortex.

Wilfred also felt the same way: to continue for the second test of this inheritance, one would have to fly through the middle of that thing. But since he did not want to continue in that inheritance, he stood firm on the ground.

Minos then nodded to Abby and hugged her waist before taking off towards his target.

In mid-flight, he spread his energies around her body, just as he had done when entering the Secret Tomb.

Thus, the two soon disappeared amidst those dark clouds, leaving Wilfred behind.

'You did not achieve an honorable performance in my inheritance but only took the artifacts left behind by the enemies you killed.' A noble voice arose inside Wilfred's head, making him tremble.

Gulp!

'That...'

'I see you're giving up, eh?' The voice became somewhat more disappointed. 'Well, at least that girl seems to have what it takes to complete my inheritance. So, I will release you...'

'But be careful the next time you step into legacies like this, little boy. Others in my place would lock you up forever for disrespecting them with your unstable cultivation foundation.'

Wilfred shivered upon hearing that, feeling his family had underestimated the Secret Tomb.

'But since I already have a better candidate, go away!'

After the voice said this in his mind, a wormhole appeared below Wilfred's feet. Soon after, he fell through the thing, experiencing the same effects he had felt days ago.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the other side of the wormhole appeared above where he had left the previous crypt, next to the statue of the Goddess of Life.

"Ahhh!" He cried out in excitement as he fell to his knees.

With this unexpected arrival of Wilfred, the guards in the surrounding area, the only ones there at the moment, looked at him in surprise, shocked that this person had returned so soon.

"Supreme elder!" They shouted as they rushed to Wilfred's side.

"Supreme elder, are you all right? What happened? How did you return so quickly?" One of them asked in fear that the worst had happened.

"I am fine. I was just forced to give up the inheritance..." He said in a humiliated tone as he looked at his surroundings, realizing that no one from his family was there.

"Take me to Their Majesties, the wives of the King of the Black Plain. I will explain what has happened in the last few days!"
