King of Beasts

Possession!

The scene before them directly reminded the gathered beastmasters of the unique traits of necromancy!

Invisible penetration.

Possession!

Among these, the strongest ability was to possess a beastmaster, enhancing their combat capabilities.

This Crow of Death, being a spirit of the necromancy variety, naturally possessed this ability too. However, what no one expected was that it would possess another body of its own.

Boom!

At that moment, the Thousand-eyed Evil Crow exploded with a terrifyingly chaotic curse power. The malevolent fluctuations of the curse even caused the pet beasts of Level 50 and above, accompanying the First Generation, to visibly pale.

A sense of dread filled the air.

Thus, its combat power might well exceed the simple sum of two lower overlords.

Who knew what kind of qualitative change could occur when two lower overlords fused!

“Are you kidding me? Does such a pet beast even exist?!”

“Twin souls in one body, possessing itself, that’s just cheating.”

“What is it planning to do!”

At that moment, the Twin Crow, now in the full might of the Dark Crow General, unfolded its pitch-black wings. The Evil God’s Eyes covering them all opened simultaneously, their eerie vertical pupils seemingly speaking as they collectively intoned:

“Remember, a king must not be insulted!”

As the Dark Crow spoke, the powers of various nations were initially confused, but the next moment they realized as the Dark Crow’s numerous eyes swept over those beastmasters who had been severely injured by Lin Nian.

“Ah-“

Following that, those already grievously injured beastmasters screamed again, even those who had fainted suddenly woke up screaming.

“This!!!”

Seeing this, the international powerhouses were shocked, initially thinking that Lu Ran intended to finish them off. However, this action was spontaneously initiated by the Dark Crow, and Lu Ran, upon realizing this, chose not to stop it.

Instead, he was quite pleased that the Dark Crow could indeed fuse its two bodies.

Although he was pleased, the beastmasters from various nations felt a strong sense of dread.

As the words “a king must not be insulted” fell, the bodies of those injured beastmasters began to wriggle and contort under the gaze of everyone present, undergoing grotesque transformations!

“Grunt.”

“Grunt..”

Various indecent noises emanated from their mouths, and then, in less than a minute, everyone was shocked to find that the heavily injured beastmasters and their pet beasts, whose bodies were continuously wriggling, all transformed into pigs.

“My God-“

Seeing one after another internationally renowned beastmasters suddenly turn into pigs, the spectating beastmasters showed terrified expressions and quickly looked towards the dark crow, feeling a chill throughout their bodies.

Is this a curse?!

“Holy smokes.” The Pig Deity, also greatly shocked, exclaimed, “What, has the pig transformation curse already leveled up to a transformation level?!”

“This!” Principal Shi Zhen was also startled, not expecting the dark crow to have reached this stage.

However, Lu Ran was not surprised, for after consuming the soul scarecrow, the dark crow could almost achieve these effects through sacrificing pig blood, only not as proficiently as now.

“Scum, turn into pigs and repent!!”

After the dark crow spoke, Lu Ran, clad in a necromancy robe, caused many more to look towards him in even greater fear, not expecting Lu Ran’s pet beast to possess such a terrifying skill.

Turning people into pigs… Is this guy a devil?

This was even more horrifying than killing them; these were well-known strong individuals from various countries, and if they were to return in the form of pigs…

How could they face anyone after that?

However, these were not concerns for Lu Ran anymore, Lin Nian unexpectedly cast a glance towards the dark crow, realizing that Lu Ran was even more ruthless than she was.

No need to kill, just strike at the heart directly.

“Those reporters left early, a group of strong individuals cursed into pigs by Lu Ran’s Twin Crow-this, too, is super big news!!”

“Never provoke this Lu Ran again!!!”

…

Cat-eared maid café.

After coming out, Principal Shi Zhen couldn’t wait to ask, “Lu Ran, has that crow mastered the ‘transformation curse’ yet?!”

“Could it be-“

Lu Ran knew Principal Shi Zhen would be frantic upon seeing this move. He said, “Don’t panic yet. Its curse isn’t fully mastered. For instance, those people will revert back in just a few days.”

“The curse from the Witch Coven is obviously more formidable; I suspect they sacrificed some exquisite resource…”

“My pet beast Crow is still at a low level.”

“Besides, this is a transformation curse, which is different from a sex-change curse.”

“Alright, alright, no rush.” Principal Shi Zhen indicated there was no need to hurry, at least… he saw hope, a good start!

“Awesome.” The Pig Deity thought the curse was incredibly explosive. He said, “Once we can curse permanently, just curse a dragon egg directly, and wouldn’t the hatchling turn out to be a pig-dragon?”

He found this curse extremely enticing.

Actually, he possessed a beast taming skill called “pig clan enhancement,” which was quite powerful and quick to develop. To not waste this skill, he could only continue further down the path of pig farming.

Gu Qingyi said, “Can we focus on something serious for a moment…”

“Next, Xia Country will likely be at the center of public attention, especially Lu Ran, who will face even greater security threats.”

Lu Ran said, “It doesn’t matter.”

“The emergence of necromancy will definitely stir up many forces. I’ve been prepared for this.” He nonchalantly stated.

That being said.

Lu Ran still hoped to re-enter the breakthrough secret realm soon and become a level 3 beastmaster.

Upon reaching level 3, the level cap for his pet beast would rise to level 40.

A level 40 overlord species could stand a chance against a level 50 sovereign pet beast.

By then, unless it was one of the top-tier First Generation, few could contend with Lu Ran’s strength.

Especially once he mastered the retainer skill, combined with the Green Sea army, Lu Ran felt his power would undergo a significant transformation.

Then, not just among human realms, even in the realms of ferocious beasts, he would move freely.

“However, for safety, you should avoid traveling abroad during this period.”

“If the international alliance wants to verify anything, let them come to Xia Country.”

Gu Qingyi said that the former guild leader had given her confidence, advising her not to concern herself with the International Alliance.

Xia Country wanted to research necromancy, and so they did, beyond the reach of the International Alliance’s control.

Could other countries really dare to openly confront Xia Country, which possessed the strongest First Generation?

As long as Xia Country’s research could impact the beast taming domain and alter the global landscape, then regardless of the nature of the research, numerous countries would inevitably come groveling when the time came, and the narrative within the International Alliance would shift once again.

“Too bad I’m so busy, otherwise, I’d really like to be Lu Ran’s personal bodyguard.”

Zhu Kaixin regretfully said, “Speaking of which, Lu Ran, it’s about time for your initial pet beast, that sword-holding dog, to evolve.”

“Compared to the Loong-type… necromancy and curses… that sword-holding dog seems harder to evolve.”

“But don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye out for suitable evolution resources for you, and I’ll get them to you as soon as I find anything.”

“Ah… thanks.” Lu Ran did not refuse.

He was in desperate need of strength.

In fact, not only Zhu Kaixin, but also Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying were keeping an eye out for evolution resources for General Ha.

If it was difficult to find such resources before, now it was certainly easier, as Lu Ran had suddenly become an international focus, a key figure in Blue Star’s opening of the necromancy domain. Following this, countless forces would likely seek to ingratiate themselves with Lu Ran.

When the time came, General Ha’s evolution resources would likely be plentiful and diverse.

General Ha’s reasoning was not incorrect,

It had previously compressed its ice power by dozens of times to boost its intelligence, devising a set of ultimate logic.

Sudden Death King would evolve first, contributing retainer skills and commanding traits to the team, followed closely by Dark Crow, taking advantage of the necromancy trend so Lu Ran could gather more resources.

Thus, this wave of resources should naturally benefit General Ha next!!!

Waiting to evolve last was not a loss.

The wise Erha, Big King, resisted the temptation to evolve first, patiently waiting to validate his own ideas.

The group did not stay long in Infinite City before teleporting back to Xia Country.

The necromancy incident in the Evolution Secret Realm still required attention from this group of First Generation members.

Internationally, Neon Country was strongly condemning Lin Nian’s murderous behavior from Xia Country, which Lin Nian chose to ignore.

Although that individual held a position with Interpol, at this moment, the International Alliance also decided to ignore it, focusing instead on verifying the claims made by Lu Ran with Xia Country.

In international disputes, power and interests are the true arbiters; everything else merely serves to restrain the weak.

In response to such international public opinion, the International Alliance immediately announced their plans to quickly send a research team to Xia Country to verify the facts.

Meanwhile, the main character, Lu Ran, had returned to Green Sea, enjoying his solitude with a few pet beasts while waiting for the arrival of the International research team.

Once confirmed by the International Alliance, based on Dr. Gu’s assessment, Lu Ran should be able to leverage his necromancy research findings to extort considerable benefits from various countries.

“General Ha, General Ha, what should we do now?”

Now that Sudden Death King and Dark Crow had become so powerful, General Ha was unexpectedly calm. Lu Ran couldn’t help but tease him.

“Woof!”

General Ha glared, holding a piece of sword grass, and with a light flick, split a common mosquito in two.

“Woof. (Just slashed some trivial things.)”

He ignored Boss Lu’s provocation, wholly immersed in understanding the sword soul, heart, and intent.

“Ha ha, Dark Crow,” Lu Ran laughed.

Calling out.

“Caw caw caw!!!”

A necromancy Crow appeared from the void, and Dark Crow said, “Big King, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.”

Lu Ran was startled and said, “Do you know why I’m calling you?”

At this moment, Crow of Curses had been sent by Lu Ran to train the crow army.

Dark Crow himself had a bold idea-could his Evil God’s Eye serve as a reward to be given to a deserving common crow?

Would the resulting Crow of Curses army be more suited to his command?

It must be said, the intelligence of crows had significantly increased.

And now, Crow of Death seemed to have guessed Lu Ran’s intentions, blushing shyly.

“Big King, you definitely want me to fuse with you next!!!”

“After we fuse, you’ll be able to wield the power of necromancy,” Lu Ran said.

“Combining it with the Flame Sprite, the fusion with soul fire becomes much more convenient!”

“You want to use soul fire to forge a new weapon for General Ha!”

Startled by Dark Crow’s analysis, Lu Ran looked at it with newfound respect.

“That’s possible.”

“But why are you blushing?” Lu Ran’s mouth twitched. “You’re a damn necromancy spirit, why can you even blush? No, wait, it’s just a possession, what are you blushing for?”

“Enough talk, let’s go.”

Lu Ran sighed, and the next moment, Dark Crow plunged directly into his body.

“Ugh.”

Following that.

Black smoke billowed around Lu Ran, and a wave of spiritual power slowly emanated from him. During this process, Lu Ran’s hair began to change, becoming thicker and more disheveled from its previously neat, short cut.

Lu Ran wasn’t surprised by this transformation; he didn’t worry much about looking neither human nor ghostly.

In the last breakthrough secret realm, he had seen many beastmasters possessed by necromancy spirits. In fact, unlike Fusion Skills, necromancy possession didn’t significantly change a beastmaster.

It was essentially just spiritual power shaping.

At most, it changed a hairstyle or eye color. If the pet beast was a Dark Crow, it might grant an extra pair of crow wings, giving the beastmaster the ability to fly.

If he got a pair of crow wings, Lu Ran felt it was actually quite cool.

Whoosh-

Indeed, the next moment, as his spiritual power materialized, a pair of dense, Domineering Energy wings burst forth from Lu Ran’s back. The black wings vibrated, and Lu Ran laughed heartily, thrilled by the novelty.

But the next moment, he couldn’t hold it together anymore. His expression drastically changed as his mouth, damn it, also morphed into a jinx’s beak under the force of spiritual power shaping, atop which glowed a pair of sinister red pupils.

“Fuck, why is your jinx gene so strong! Now that’s just ugly.” “Caw?”
