King of Beasts

As the second Evolution Secret Realm stirred up a huge sensation inside,

outside, just like last time, there were even more beastmasters guarding the forum, waiting to indulge in the spectacle.

Most of them, upon hearing that Lu Ran had entered the Evolution Secret Realm again, were eagerly waiting to see the evolution potential of his second pet beast.

Online opinions were divided into two camps. One believed that Lu Ran’s Shield-winged Dragon King was a miracle created due to his identity as a Dragon Chef, his solo clear of the Loong-type Legendary Secret Realm, the advantages of the Loong-type, and the support from Xia Country’s Loong-type resources.

The evolution forms of his Gale Sword Dog and the third Crow pet beast were unlikely to replicate such a significant advantage, and would most likely only reach the level of an upper sovereign.

The other camp believed in Lu Ran’s own strength, confident that no matter the pet beast, he would surely cultivate it impressively.

Of course, Lu Ran was not the protagonist of the world. Besides those focused on Lu Ran, like the Snowfield Federation, there was significant interest in the evolution outcome of their strongest Third Generation, the king of ice, who had previously stated in a domestic interview that he aimed to evolve into an overlord this time.

Unlike the previous time, although the white mouse reporter was quick to react, many other reporters were also quick-witted and responded promptly.

Soon, the beastmasters of the Snowfield Federation received the following news:

“Success, good news, the Ice King has done it, the permafrost elephant has successfully advanced to overlord!!”

However, before the beastmasters of the Snowfield could feel elated, other news flooded in, overshadowing the word “Snowfield.”

[Lu Ran Creates Another Miracle! New Evolution Method, Split Evolution, One Pet Beast, Two Overlords!]

[A God-like Youth with Three Overlords in Hand!]

[Debunking Rumors! Lu Ran Truly is the Holy Son of Necromancy!]

[Thousand-eyed Evil Crow, Death Spirit Crow, Two Unnervingly Mysterious Overlords!]

[The First of the Fourth Generation to Cultivate Necromantic Pets, Turmoil in the Secret Realm, Almost Sparking a Great Battle!]

[Harmless Necromancy? The Dawn of a New Era?]

While the strongest Third Generation of the Snowfield cultivating an overlord should have been world-shaking news, it was instantly overshadowed by the tidal wave of news about Lu Ran.

“What the hell, a single pet beast evolved into two overlords? I don’t know if it split, but I sure did.”

“Isn’t the key point that one of them is a necromantic pet beast?”

“Damn, necromancy, Lu Ran is really studying necromancy! Those rumors before were true!”

“My God!! This post says that Lu Ran himself revealed in the Evolution Secret Realm that he has indeed become the Holy Son of the legendary necromancy sect in the Breakthrough Secret Realm.”

“How dare he! Breeding a necromantic pet beast, isn’t that a violation of the International Beast Taming Law, even if he is the top of the Fourth Generation…”

“Lu Ran has found a way to resolve the drawbacks of necromancy, asking for a change in the law???”

“The five strongest echelon members from the First Generation of Xia Country showed up at the Evolution Secret Realm simultaneously, and all the beastmasters who wanted to capture Lu Ran for breeding necromancy were taken down!”

Onlookers from around the world, browsing the forum, all agape, were shocked and rapidly scrolling with their fingers and moving their mice.

For a time, the international forum’s traffic surged, and frequent slowdowns occurred.

In Lujia Village.

The young beastmasters in the village, upon seeing the news, were stunned beyond belief.

They never imagined that Lu Ran would start breeding necromantic pet beasts.

“Didn’t you see what the news said!!”

“The village chief has found a way to resolve the drawbacks of necromancy, which means that if our pet beasts die in battle, it doesn’t mean they are truly dead!! They have a chance to live a second life!!”

“Really??”

“Divine deer above! God Lu above!”

Clans and religions have always been formidable collectives; at this moment, the people of Lujia Village became even more fervent upon seeing this news.

At the Beast Taming University.

Experts and professors from various disciplines were dumbfounded upon seeing this news.

They never expected Lu Ran, who was thriving like the midday sun as a Dragon Chef, to suddenly delve into necromancy.

From the First Generation’s support, could it be that the content in these news reports is all true??

“Are you kidding me, can the drawbacks of necromancy really be resolved?”

Anyone who has delved deeply into necromancy knows that if its drawbacks are resolved, it would have a massive impact on the beast taming domain.

“Where’s Principal Shi Zhen, is Beast Taming University going to add a necromancy department now!”

In the Southern Border, known as the Desert of Death.

A figure emerged from the desert, holding a cellphone and looking at the news with a faint smile.

“People are still questioning the minister’s power, a bunch of fools.”

After Bai Qi, the sole member of Netherworld, hunted a group of ferocious beasts, he saw the news and realized the unstoppable momentum; necromancy would soon thrive on the world stage.

Lu Ran’s soul cuisine, which his pet beast had already tasted, was definitely up to par.

However, there was still one critical issue.

Even Lu Ran had not yet mastered the method of converting a pet beast into a necromancer without using the death revival skill card.

The threshold to resurrect a pet beast as a necromancer was still quite high.

The only one who had mastered this technique was The Other Shore, suspected of harboring a real necromantic secret realm!

By announcing this so publicly, Lu Ran was actually splitting The Other Shore and putting pressure on it!

Before the severe drawbacks of necromantic forces were evident, although countries were curious about necromancy, they would never invest substantial efforts to research or provoke The Other Shore.

But now, if necromancy could become a beneficial attribute in the beast taming domain, The Other Shore, being the only one with a stable method of extracting the death revival skill card, would become the target of everyone.

The Other Shore now faced only two possible outcomes.

One, under Lu Ran’s leadership, it would face a real, concerted attack from numerous forces, no longer just minor skirmishes.

Lu Ran, having a method to counter the drawbacks of necromancy, would surely have many countries and powerful entities willing to serve him.

Two, surrender and accept recruitment, actively hand over the exclusive secret realm, or, more precisely, collaborate with Lu Ran.

Maximizing the interests of both parties.

Once, the vampire Count sent by Lu Ran’s parents warned him to be cautious of the faction-ridden The Other Shore, but in just a few months, Lu Ran proved with his actions that it was merely an underground organization… Now, he held the lifeline of the entire The Other Shore in his hands.

A legend from the Star-Moon Continent, the Holy Son of the Great Necromantic Church, facing a necromantic force with only Level 5 necromancers at its highest, was bound to overwhelmingly dominate.

Without directly targeting The Other Shore, his research forced it into a corner.

“This-“

Somewhere across the ocean, the vampire count was also stunned by the news.

He had been completely baffled by Lu Ran’s trajectory of growth.

When he had sent a skill card to Lu Ran, he was just a novice, but the pace of Lu Ran’s development thereafter was something the vampire count could not comprehend.

First, becoming the Strongest Fourth Generation of Xia Country, then of Blue Star, and subsequently achieving what no beastmaster had done before-cultivating an overlord pet beast!

Now, he had achieved what no member of the other shore had managed to do.

That is, cultivating an overlord necromancy beast and solving the growth disadvantages associated with the necromancy species.

“I told you to be wary of the other shore, but how has it been just a few months, and now the other shore needs to be wary of you?”

The Red Count remained silent.

If what was described in the news was true, and if Lu Ran truly possessed such core technology, it wouldn’t be long before the other shore would be plunged into internal chaos, immediately dissolving the previously faction-ridden organization.

Currently, the other shore is mainly divided into three factions.

One, the ambitious faction, seeks the stone of the other shore in attempts to overthrow international governments and control the world.

Two, the defensive faction, reluctantly joined the other shore for survival, hunting souls to find ways to resist backlash.

Three, the immortality faction, studies the Life Soul, hoping to achieve human eternal evolution by controlling souls.

At least two of these factions wouldn’t mind collaborating with Lu Ran, and if not careful, the entire other shore might end up bearing the name Lu.

After all, currently, there is no true overlord of the other shore, and the top combat power among the three factions is not significantly different, with some factions already having secret alliances with smaller countries.

With such research results from Lu Ran, widespread internal chaos was bound to begin.

Indeed, not long after the vampire count had seen the news, a familiar number called.

“Is this the Red Count?”

A husky female voice came from the other end.

“Dr. Sean?” The vampire count narrowed his eyes.

“Have you seen the news?”

“If I remember correctly, Lu Ran is Dr. Lu’s son, right? Do you have any contact with him?”

“Yes, but what contact could we possibly have?”

“After he made a name for himself, Loka and his group wanted to recruit Lu Ran into the Overlord of the Other Shore. Weren’t you the one who actively sabotaged this, going to great lengths to prevent it?”

“It’s just that Dr. Lu and his wife once told me they didn’t want their child to become an international criminal. After all, I was nurtured by them; I was merely respecting their last wishes.”

“I want the truth. I need to know if Dr. Lu’s son really discovered a method to solve the growth defects of necromancy, if he really was taken as a disciple by a legendary necromancer, and if he really became the Holy Son of the Cult of Necromancy!” The tone on the other end became serious.

“How would I know? But what if it’s true? What would you do?” teased the vampire Count.

“Need you ask? Ever since the First Generation Overlord of the Other Shore died, the Other Shore has been fragmented for a long time. Don’t you think Dr. Lu’s son would be perfect as the new Overlord of the Other Shore?”

“I am as close to Dr. Lu as sisters. If her exceptionally talented son becomes the Overlord of the Other Shore, I would definitely support it.”

“…” The vampire Count fell silent, internally cursing in Xia Country’s slang. Indeed, the news had not been verified yet, and people were already restless.

Dr. Sean is a member of the Immortality Faction, obsessed with researching supernatural beings. But how does he not remember this guy being as close as sisters with Lu Yunxiu?

To put it plainly, the research faction is interested in the various resources Lu Ran might have brought back from the breakthrough secret realm, and possibly, his method to solve the growth defects of the necromancy.

This, no doubt, would be coveted by any necromancer, just the same among all three factions.

“Is this your personal opinion, or the opinion of the entire Immortality Faction?”

Right now, the vampire Count really wants to resurrect Lu Ran’s parents and let them see the good deeds their son has done… You didn’t want your son to join the Other Shore, but now, every major faction of the Other Shore is eager to have him as the new Overlord…

Lu Ran was unaware that he had effortlessly thrown the high-level members from The Other Shore into chaos, a problem that had plagued various countries for a long time.

He had been in the Evolution Secret Realm, answering some simple questions.

But as time passed, he grew tired of it.

“Let’s stop here.”

“Let’s go,” Lu Ran said to Dr. Gu and the others.

“Okay,” Gu Qingyi nodded.

At that moment, with so many bodyguards around him, no one dared to block Lu Ran’s way.

Those who had openly targeted Lu Ran, regardless of their status, were now lying on the ground, and one was even dead.

“These guys got off easy,” Lin Nian sighed as she glanced at the convulsing, wailing beastmasters from various countries, feeling helpless.

Why was she born in a modern technological society? If she could be a lone ranger in a fantasy world, how comfortable that would be.

Dislike someone? Just wipe out their entire family.

“Caw!!”

“I support you.”

General Ha and the Sudden Death King showed disdain for the severely injured, but the Dark Crow, as Lu Ran’s top sycophant, thought it wasn’t enough.

Holding a grudge.

So what if it belonged to the necromancy species.

Did it eat their rice?

It felt that letting those people off so easily was too lenient.

They even dared to strike at the Big King, unforgivable.

If it weren’t for that girl acting too quickly, it would have taught them a lesson.

But now, it wasn’t too late.

Suddenly, just as Lu Ran was about to leave, two Twin Crows soared into the sky.

The powerful individuals from various countries turned their gaze towards them.

Surprised.

They didn’t understand why these terrifying crows suddenly took flight, seemingly without any signs of being provoked.

“This is-“

The next moment, the beastmasters from various eras paled.

They saw the Crow of Death’s form of the Necromantic Crow directly fuse with the body of the Crow of Curses!

A fusion began!
