King of Beasts

Shock, silence, bewilderment, terror…

Countless people stared at the eerie Twin Crow, feeling as if they had fallen into an icy cavern, their souls gripped and dragged into darkness.

One by one, the strong stood facing the Twin Crow, their shock greater even than when facing the Shield-winged Dragon King.

The evolution of the Shield-winged Dragon King was traceable, albeit its Species level was extraordinarily high.

But what was with this Crow… it actually… actually split into two bodies??

And both bodies belonged to overlord species?!

Of course, what shocked the strong from various nations the most was that the Crow’s second body was of the necromancy type!!

At this moment, people recalled a rumor from long ago.

Lu Ran, the Holy Son of necromancy, was suspected of researching necromancy…

This matter had been forgotten for a long time, and with no reaction from the International Alliance, everyone had thought it was just a rumor.

But now, seeing the Twin Crow, witnessing the necromancy body in the form of the crow of death, a chilling sensation arose in everyone’s hearts.

“Indeed…”

At this moment, Lu Ran also spoke indifferently. As the beastmaster of the dark crow, he knew much more than these bystanders.

Lu Ran had never anticipated that the dark crow would evolve into this form!!!

[Species Talent]: Twin Curse (A pet beast with this talent possesses two bodies, with a shared consciousness between them, both are the original. Both bodies must be destroyed for it to truly die!)

The original necromancy clone trait had bestowed such a monstrous talent on the dark crow.

Although the dark crow had not evolved into a middle overlord species, the combined strength of two lower overlord bodies might rival that of a middle overlord!

Lu Ran felt joy inside, finding this talent perfectly suited for the dark crow. From now on, he could keep one by his side and send the other to manage the Crow Legion~

It just remained to be seen if the two bodies could fuse…

“Caw caw caw caw…”

“Caw caw caw caw…”

Meanwhile, the Twin Crow, with its two bodies, also burst into laughter, feeling its newfound strength, which was almost ten times greater than that of the former King of Ice!!!

What is called Talent!

This is what you call Talent!

Now, it can not only fight two against one, but also two can fight against one.

“Lu Ran, Passerby A!!!”

However, such moments of joy are often spoiled, and as Lu Ran and the Dark Crow were still basking in their delight, a middle-aged man with blond hair riding atop an eagle suddenly spoke with a grim expression:

“Necromancy.”

“There were rumors that you were exploring necromancy, and I didn’t believe them, but now it seems you have indeed strayed.”

“Tell me, is it your own doing, or is Xia Country secretly cultivating necromantic pet beasts?”

Many who saw Lu Ran evolve a necromantic pet beast felt uneasy, sensing that something significant was about to happen, but given Lu Ran’s status, no one dared to speak up first until this man voiced his concerns…

“It’s him…”

Seeing this man, numerous beastmasters understood why he reacted this way. Caron, a first-generation beastmaster from the Eagle Federation, whose own brother had been severely injured in a competition within a public secret realm and subsequently died at the hands of a first-generation beastmaster from Xia Country.

Because of this, he harbored a natural hatred towards Xia Country.

Now that he had caught Xia Country red-handed, it was no wonder he lashed out.

“Engaging with necromancy has already violated the beast taming laws of the International Alliance. I believe, Professor Lu, as an Interpol Officer of the International Alliance, it is necessary to arrest you and take you back to headquarters for investigation.”

“I now suspect that you have ties with The Other Shore!”

At this moment, another beastmaster from Neon Country stood up. Neon Country, being close to Xia Country and often targeted in competitions within the public secret realms, also had a poor relationship with Xia Country.

As these two stood firm, seeing how formidable Lu Ran had become, many others began to align themselves, aiming to use necromancy as a point of contention against Lu Ran. These nations, backed by powers with strained relations with Xia Country, were unwilling to let Lu Ran, who had evolved such a terrifying pet beast, leave unscathed.

However, Lu Ran maintained a calm expression throughout his encounter with the group.

His gaze swept over everyone, including Jialan and Jiana, whose expressions were filled with terror. With the evolution of Lu Ran’s pet beast, they no longer dared approach him.

Lu Ran smiled, indeed he had frightened the youngsters.

Then, his gaze shifted toward Caron and the others.

“I am indeed studying necromancy,” Lu Ran declared, shocking the assembled powerhouses who had not expected such a candid admission.

Even claiming it was a mistaken or accidental evolution would have been more acceptable than admitting it outright.

“There were rumors that I had joined the Cult of Necromancy in the breakthrough secret realm, even being called the Holy Son of Necromancy…”

“I can clearly state that those were not just rumors.”

“In the breakthrough secret realm, when choosing a faction, I indeed chose the Cult of Necromancy and was even taken as a direct disciple by a legendary necromancer, becoming the heir of the legendary great cult.”

“What, you disagree?”

These revelations left the crowd continuously stunned.

He… he actually…

Many looked at Lu Ran with disbelief in their eyes.

Those who stood up to confront were also dumbfounded.

Speaking, Lu Ran snapped his fingers, and a gray-black necromancy robe instantly draped over him.

Standing atop the Dragon King, clad in the necromancy robe, with the ominously fluttering Twin Crow behind him and a snarling beast at his side, the crowd swallowed hard. Despite facing a fourth-generation beastmaster, the pressure felt immensely overwhelming.

“But I joined the Cult of Necromancy to study and resolve the drawbacks of necromancy.”

“To enable the attribute of necromancy to benefit all beast tamers, and you dare to conjecture my intentions with your filthy thoughts?”

Lu Ran lifted his head, looking disdainfully at those few, saying, “To view necromancy as an evil attribute, that is your folly.”

“But I’m not like you. I have already found a way for necromantic pet beasts to grow normally and for the occupation of necromancers to no longer lose their sanity. I have solved all the drawbacks of necromancy.”

“So, I cultivate the necromantic species, what’s it to you?”

Lu Ran said, “International Beast Taming Law? What’s that? From now on, whenever a beastmaster’s pet beast dies, it can be harmlessly transformed into a necromantic pet and gain a second life. This is a revolution in the beast taming domain, and it’s time for the laws to change.”

Revolution!

Lu Ran’s words, akin to a nuclear bomb exploding in the hearts of those present, made their faces contort wildly, feeling that Lu Ran was outrageously audacious.

The few who had just stepped up to target Lu Ran also turned ashen, feeling that Lu Ran was spouting nonsense. How could he possibly have found a solution to the drawbacks of necromancy? Did Lu Ran think he was a god?

In their view, Lu Ran was merely spouting nonsense, trying to make an early exit.

“Today, no matter what, you cannot leave!!”

“Everyone, take action together. We cannot let a lawbreaker get off scot-free.” With a grim expression, an Interpol from Neon Country spoke, and as he did, a dense, pure black giant dog appeared amidst dark clouds and lunged towards Lu Ran from the sky.

This was a level forty pet beast, and the Interpol was just a second-generation beastmaster. Seeing this, Lu Ran was somewhat incredulous, not understanding why a second-generation would dare to attack him.

He felt that the Sudden Death King and the Dark Crow could easily handle this guy…

At this moment, Lu Ran undoubtedly had the ability to challenge a second-generation beastmaster.

However, not giving Lu Ran any chance to react, the Interpol’s face changed, and he was then gripped by a terrifying mental power and began to rise…

“What is this…”

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body was crushed into a mist of blood, along with the black dog that had lunged at Lu Ran, both exploding into a blood mist. Everyone present was incredibly shocked, having not expected someone to dare kill an Interpol of the International Alliance on the spot.

“Hmph, this is a terrorist attack. You deserve to die.”

Lu Ran was also shocked by the sudden turn of events. He had thought that unless it was an assassin with no identity or background, beast tamers from major countries like Dr. Gu would only administer a light punishment. However, Lin Nian, who acted first, simply crushed her opponent to death.

“Xia Country’s beast tamers aren’t to be arrested by any riff-raff,” Lin Nian declared, appearing suddenly among the crowd in the sky. Using her superpower to float, her short black hair fluttered with her mental power. The sight of her made many faces turn pale, not expecting this killer goddess from Xia Country to be present.

The next moment, the crowd quickly dispersed, steering clear of her.

“Were a few of you also thinking of making a move just now?” she asked, her gaze sweeping over several beast tamers from the Eagle Federation and others who had summoned their pet beasts but had hesitated to act, her smile mocking.

“Xia Country, Lin Nian,” said Caron and a few other beast tamers, their expressions changing upon seeing her.

Lin Nian wasted no words and directly attacked. Her pet beast didn’t even make an appearance; her mental power alone, chaotic and earth-shattering, rolled towards countless individuals. A series of void explosions followed, and several in the sky spat blood violently, their bodies seeming to fracture, along with their pet beasts, all blasted to the ground.

Xia Country’s second strongest beast tamer, slaying peers as easily as slaughtering chickens.

“Hey, hey, hey, Lin Nian, that’s enough,” said Shi Zhen and others, reacting a beat too slow like Lu Ran, their eyelids twitching in surprise at Lin Nian’s ferocity. She showed no restraint, and they quickly intervened, worried she might start a massacre.

Killing one who had directly attacked was one thing.

But wiping them all out would definitely cause a massive international uproar.

“Death penalty avoided, but punishment inevitable,” Lin Nian seemed unsatisfied, her fighting spirit apparently more vigorous than several others combined.

At that moment, powerhouses from various countries were shocked to discover Gu Qingyi, Lin Nian, Zhu Kaixin, Jiang Rui…

One after another, the frontline first-generation beast tamers from Xia Country appeared, a total of five, along with a mysterious woman whose face was covered, all walking beside the Shield-winged Dragon King.

“Are you kidding me? I thought Lu Ran had come alone, but five of the twelve strongest from Xia Country are here.”

“They must be here to protect Lu Ran. Caron and his group have really kicked the iron plate.”

“What kind of treatment is this?!”

“They don’t seem surprised at all that Lu Ran has cultivated a necromantic pet beast!”

At this moment, the onlookers, who had previously chosen to stand aside, were visibly shocked to discover that something was amiss. If the people of Xia Country were not surprised by what Lu Ran had revealed, did that mean everything he had disclosed was true and officially verified by Xia Country?

Could it be that Lu Ran has truly resolved the drawbacks of necromancy?

Why does The Other Shore continue to attract new members? Isn’t it because everyone is captivated by the opportunity for pet resurrection?

Despite the side effects, countless people still long for it.

But now, someone claims to have developed a harmless necromancy cultivation method. How could that not be surprising?

“Professor Lu Ran!!! Have you really found a way to solve the drawbacks of necromancy?”

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Dressed in a necromancy robe, Lu Ran looked at the crowd and said, “Of course.”

“If I have a friend whose pet beast died in battle, and if he switches to practicing necromancy and becomes a necromancer, can you guarantee that he won’t lose his sanity and fall into madness like the necromancers from The Other Shore?!”

Lu Ran continued, “Of course.”

“Professor Lu Ran, are you saying that you are willing to share this cultivation method???”

Lu Ran calmly said, “Of course, but only if that person is a friend of Xia Country; and also, it’s not for free.”

Lu Ran’s three affirmatives set off a storm in the Evolution Secret Realm, leaving countless people in utter shock. At this moment, they looked at the enigmatic and dominant Twin Crow species of necromantic pets and began to trust Lu Ran.

Indeed.

For someone as promising as Lu Ran, if he hadn’t found a way to solve the drawbacks of necromancy, he wouldn’t risk cultivating it!

As Lu Ran said, he must have found the perfect necromancy cultivation method.

Moreover, it seems he is even willing to share this method with his allies.

Realizing this, numerous beastmasters from various countries went wild, looking at Lu Ran as if he were a deity.

Does this guy really have no limits?

After the Dragon Chef, he has now developed such groundbreaking results-his research achievements are nothing short of “pioneering” an entirely new attribute domain!!!

Countless people swallowed hard, watching Lu Ran and the Twin Crow.

There was a premonition that this revolutionary twin souls in one body species, this epoch-making research result, would definitely set off a global sensation and might even force the international alliance to amend laws and redefine necromancy!

This wasn’t just Lu Ran’s individual effort. If necromancy really had a harmless cultivation method, that would fulfill the wishes of all beastmasters.

“The Holy Son of necromancy is incredible!!”

At this moment, unbeknownst to anyone, among the audience, there were even members from The Other Shore watching the excitement. He was the most dazed one there. Lu Ran’s words had just detonated a planet in his heart. Now, he just wanted to know if it was too late to switch sides from The Other Shore to Xia Country.

“Big, big, big… super big news.” While countless people were in shock, the white mouse reporter was the first to snap back to reality, immediately choosing to exit the secret realm, eagerly awaiting the 10-second countdown.

Blue Star was about to experience another vibration.

As for the king of ice? No one remembered him now. Everyone only knew that this young man, who had suppressed the fourth generation, had suddenly become the owner of three overlords and was about to unleash a massive necromancy storm on Blue Star.
