Chapter 876: Suppressing The Yin Energy
Max blinked, startled. ’He wants me to suppress a Yin Cave eruption?’
He looked again at the swirling energy coming out of the black hole, feeling its dense and terrifying Yin power. Even standing at a distance, the pressure was enough to make his limbs slightly numb.
Doubt crept into his mind. ’Can my black flames even handle something like this?’
The general noticed his hesitation and chuckled softly, his voice carrying the calm of someone who had already foreseen this reaction. "Do not worry. I have a special method to suppress the explosive nature of the Yin Cave and regulate the outflow of Yin energy. I only need you to stabilize it further with your black flames. Although your black flames is also of yin origin, it should be able to suppress the yin energy from the yin cave because of the nature of the black flames."
He added. "Not only will you remain safe, but this Yin energy will nourish your body and mana. If all goes well, you might even break through and reach the Champion Rank."
Those last words made Max’s heart pound. ’Breakthrough to Champion Rank?’
Over the past several days, he had fought fierce battles, nearly, and been chased across half the valley by that terrifying woman, Nell. Those experiences had shown him the overwhelming gap between himself and experts in the late stages of the Legend Rank.
Even with all his trump cards, he had nearly been cornered and killed. He needed strength—real, overwhelming strength—to stand at the top and no longer be someone else’s prey.
The Yin Cave was dangerous, yes, but so was staying weak. And besides, this general was right in front of him, a being so powerful he could erase him with a flick of his finger if he wanted. Did he really have a choice?
Max took a deep breath, suppressing his hesitation, and met the general’s gaze seriously. "Since Senior has said so, there is no reason for me to refuse. I will do my best to help suppress the power of the Yin Cave."
