King of Beasts.

Chapter 471: Six major sects besiege the Necromancer

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

While preparing for a new breakthrough in the secret realm, with sufficient resources, Ha and the others' growth level was easily raised to level 90.

For pets, the growth level of "level 1 to level 100" has never been a bottleneck, except for the influence of the Infinite City. As long as the nutrition is adequate, upgrading will be like the growth of a human cub, and it will grow naturally.

Now that Lu Ran has resources from both worlds and has the time and ability to speed up digestion, it is much easier for him to improve the growth level of his pet than to improve the race level.

However, on the other hand, Blue Star’s crystal coins have been almost squeezed out by Lu Ran.

The number of orders for pet cubs from animal tamers in various countries has dropped significantly, and the market has begun to deteriorate.

After all, it was because the Blue Star Beastmasters had too few crystal coins in reserve. No one had the habit of saving crystal coins, and they would immediately use them to strengthen themselves once they had them.

If Lu Ran wants to harvest crystal coins on a large scale again, he may have to give the Blue Star Beastmasters some breathing space, or he must take over Star Moon as soon as possible to harvest the Star Moon Beastmasters.

During this period, Lu Ran obtained a large number of epic enhancement cards. In addition to the rapid upgrade of Mr. Ha and his team, Lu Ran also reaped a lot of rewards.

Super beast mimicry allowed Lu Ran's sword intent, sword domain level, physique level, pupil power level, soul power level, vitality level, and energy control to reach the legendary level.

Combined with the legendary Flame Spirit, Lu Ran can currently be regarded as a humanoid legendary beast.

In addition, because Lu Ran perfectly inherited No. 18's stronger research ability through Super Beast Mimicry, combined with the epic Qingling Fruit, he also made great progress in studying the exclusive soul evolution of the Sudden Death King and Dark Crow.

In the starry sky, Lu Ran sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, holding a tablet computer in his hand. The King of Sudden Death was rapidly descending towards the Blue Star, looking at the two images on the screen with a dim gaze.

One is a tyrannical dragon man standing upright, his body covered with black and red star stone scales; the other is a strange crow man with a black shadow like clothes, his body covered with golden patterns and black feathers.

Below are their test data.

"Because of the compatibility issue, the soul evolution I developed for the Death King and Dark Crow does not have as much of a bonus as Mr. Ha."

"Without considering followers and legion skills, I can instantly bless the lower legendary King of Death and Dark Crow to the middle legendary strength. However, with their own full-strength burst, they can only reach the extreme of middle legendary strength and cannot have the upper legendary strength."

"Well, you should be content. This level is already pretty good. It's not inferior to the divine control skills of Peanut and Hel. It just costs a bit of soul!"

"It's almost time to go to the Evil God Era."

Before completely entering the Blue Star, Lu Ran looked back and saw the Golden Toad and the Moon Rabbit working in the distance, and ripples began to form in his heart.

The evil god of Xingyue is about to break the seal, and Lu Ran must get a comprehensive understanding of the evil god before it is completely broken.

The best way is to enter the Abyss before the Evil God is sealed by the Abyss Ghost Mother and challenge the Evil God in his prime to see the difference.

And, in this process, try to let the Dark Crow absorb the authority of the evil god and upgrade it.

With the evil god projection to practice with, I will be more calm when facing the real evil god.

Crackling——

King Sudden Death's body was flashing with lightning, and he finally brought Lu Ran back to Blue Star. After seeing Lu Ran leave, Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit beat drums and gongs and began to celebrate.

"Today is New Year's Day!!!" They hugged each other and cried, having long put aside their prejudices.

"It's a pity that the Nian beast is dead. We can't bully it anymore."

…………

Blue Star.

After Lu Ran had been in seclusion for more than a month, he returned to the Imperial Palace and discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy on Blue Star had increased a lot.

"Perhaps, the nine-colored meteorite is the core of another planet."

"The Nine-Colored Meteorite is so huge, but we only found dozens of small fragments. We thought that most of it evaporated into spiritual energy, but now it seems that the main body may have completely merged with the Blue Planet and became the new star core of the Blue Planet."

"Blue Star is also in the process of fusing the new star core, gradually recovering the spiritual energy concentration from the ancient mythological era."

Even so, Lu Ran certainly cannot think about the current Blue Star Core unless he wants the Blue Star's spiritual energy to fade away again.

Lu Ran smiled slightly and silently summoned all the pets. After the summoning was completed, he left a message for Manager Ying and entered the Infinite City again.

He came to the secret realm pillar and started a breakthrough to the secret realm, which would inevitably lead to him giving up the breakthrough mission.

[Secret Realm Level: Level 8]

[Difficulty: Unknown]

[Challenge Coin: 0]

[Introduction: You will enter an unknown world and experience a breakthrough trial. ]

[It is detected that you have super permissions. Do you want to customize the world view and timeline of the breakthrough secret realm? 】

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded.

"The Star-Moon World, the timeline is after the fall of the empire, before the Ghost Mother sealed the evil god, and before the death of Los, the founder of the Death Cult, and the fall of the cult."

"Is it okay?" Lu Ran added a few more restrictions.

The timeline is after the fall of the empire, which guarantees that the Ghost Mother is already displeased with the Evil God by this time.

If he cannot defeat the evil god at that time, he can ask the ghost mother for help.

It was also set up before the death of the Necromancer, that if the legendary mission could be completed, Lu Ran intended to leave this chance of resurrection to him.

【Confirmed.】

[The corresponding breakthrough secret realm is being generated...]

【Please wait……】

【Generated successfully. 】

[Secret Realm Type: Single Player. ]

[Target location: Xingyue Continent, the former Yudi City of the Beast Taming Empire! ]

[Teleport countdown 10…9…8…]

As expected, it is still a single-player secret realm.

[Era Introduction: 10 years after the fall of the Beast Tamer Empire,

During the past ten years, the continent was in chaos. The empire that had been passed down for thousands of years fell apart and eventually split into many beast-controlling forces. These forces occupied various regions by force and became the overlords of one side. They existed in the form of sects, schools, families, and tribes.

However, without the protection of a unified empire, the survival of most human beings is not optimistic.

There are demons and ferocious beasts that devour people, and evil gods and ghosts that bewitch people's minds.

The remaining human forces are not able to save the entire human race from the dire straits.

Until, the beastmaster Ji Yuan inherited the ancient mythical beast "Legend of the Supreme: Whale God" and proved the legend. He was determined to eliminate all evil demons in the world and let the human race stand on the top of the continent again.

At this time, the human race is facing internal and external troubles. There are foreign races outside, and there are evil forces such as the Undead Cult inside. Legend has it that the Beastmaster Ji Yuan decided to stabilize the country first and then deal with the external forces. He planned to use the "Crusade against the Undead Cult" as an introduction to summon and integrate the five top beast taming inheritance forces and numerous legendary combat forces active on the mainland to establish the Beast Taming Alliance.

This battle is known in history as the siege of the Cult of the Dead by the six major sects.

After this battle, Ji Yuan's strength was recognized by many parties and he was identified as the leader of the human race. Under the leadership of Yu Shou Zhai, the human race launched the final counterattack against the external forces of the evil god lineage and the kingdom of the beast god...】

[Breakthrough Mission: Cooperate with the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan to destroy the evil cult of the dead, counterattack the alien forces that are eyeing the human race, and kill at least one legendary beast, leaving your own legend! ]

[Hint ①: A temporary identity has been generated for you. You are a hidden genius who responded to the call of the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan and participated in the crusade against the evil cult of the dead. Your strength has always been a mystery to all the major sects...]

[Tip ②: The more legendary lives you kill, the less external help you get, and the higher your score. ]

【Tip③: The mission time limit is 21 days.】

[Hint ④: This secret realm is a historical investment...]

"Ok?"

"really."

As the breakthrough mission was refreshed, Lu Ran was still not surprised.

Because of the timeline he chose, there are only so many major events in total. If Infinite City wants to find a mission event suitable for epic beastmasters to participate in, this is the only one.

"The breakthrough mission is to let me participate in the siege of the Necromancer???"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could I, Lu, betray my master and ancestors? This is where we made our fortune."

"This saves us a lot of trouble. As long as I ensure that the evil cult of the dead is not destroyed, the breakthrough mission will be considered a failure, right?"

[It is detected that you have super permissions. 】

[Trigger the hidden legendary mission: Legendary Battle (Please defeat the legendary beastmaster Ji Yuan head-on and make him admit defeat sincerely)]

[Quest Reward: Resurrect a historical projection that you have come into contact with in this secret realm.]

Lu Ran was silent.

He doubted that the Infinite City could even detect his thoughts.

After seeing the breakthrough mission just now, he immediately had the idea of ​​temporarily "surrendering to the enemy", beating up the legendary beastmaster, and sheltering the undead cult.

As a result, the legendary mission was refreshed right afterward, and the mission target was the legendary origin?
"This mission feels much easier than the last one. Last time I had to provoke the Lord God, but this time, my opponent is just a legendary beastmaster?"

Lu Ran touched his chin, but he couldn't underestimate Ji Yuan. Hull and Peanut both had the power to temporarily rival the upper legends when they were fully exerted. Ji Yuan was also a legend, so he must not be much worse. To defeat him head-on and make him convinced, he deserved a legendary mission.

While Lu Ran was thinking, the stars around him began to move and time and space began to change.

When Lu Ran woke up, he found himself sitting in a lobby with hundreds of people sitting in it. Lu Ran was stunned. Judging from their aura, most of them were above the legendary level!
There are even 6 epic-level beastmasters!
"I called you all here this time to discuss how to deal with the evil cult of the dead!"

On the lobby podium, there was a handsome young man in his early thirties. His appearance was like a finely carved jade statue, both hard and gentle. His figure was tall and straight, like an ancient pine tree that had experienced wind and rain.

Below him, six epic beastmasters sat in the front. They were all very old, and none of them was younger than sixty years old.

At first glance, he is an expert in the field of beast taming. However, these big guys who are at the top of the world did not put on airs at all in the face of the young man's voice. It was because this young man was the first super genius to step into the legendary realm in the thousands of years of history of the empire, and now the human race is the strongest!
Among the epics present, there were even a few who had already become his stepping stones and had been defeated by him.

Further down, there were dozens of legendary beastmasters. They were of different ages, the older ones were very old, while the younger ones, like Lu Ran, looked only in their twenties.

Later on, there might be a group of auxiliary beastmasters assisting the legendary figures. Because of this identity, they are also qualified to attend this meeting.

"The Cult of the Dead was founded at the end of the Empire, and its founder was the legendary necromancer Los!"

"In the beginning, under the leadership of Los, although the Undead Cult committed many evil things, most of its members still retained some humanity. They only chose to join the Undead Cult because they wanted to revive their pets that died in battle."

"Afterwards, the necromancer Los broke through to the epic level, and the necromancer cult continued to grow stronger."

"Until the demise of the empire, it has become the leading magic force in the Star-Moon Continent!!!"

"A few years ago, an unknown incident occurred within the Undead Cult. The cult members acted more recklessly on the mainland, sacrificing innocent people. They were suspected of being connected with the evil god and imprisoning the remaining souls of the geniuses of various sects. This has touched the bottom line of my Beast Taming House!"

Ji Yuan said in a deep voice, "I guess the various sects present here have also been persecuted by the evil dead spirit cult."

boom!
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, an epic old man slammed the table in anger and said, "The high-level Overlord Dragon I prepared for my grandson was hunted down and his soul was extracted by the evil dead spirit cult. My grandson was in a coma for several years because of this. I will definitely avenge this."

"The evil cult of the dead is extremely evil. One of their elders sacrificed the souls of more than one million people in a city governed by my Li family. If I don't avenge this, I, Li Aotian, will no longer be worthy of being the patriarch of the Li family." A certain legend also had a livid face.

"My Five Elements Sect..."

The lobby suddenly became extremely noisy. It seemed that many sects and forces had been persecuted by the evil cult of the dead. Lu Ran heard it and fell silent.

The people at the scene didn't know the secret, but Lu Ran had heard some of it from the ghost mother.

When the Undead Master Los was managing the Undead Cult, the cult's style was not very good, but overall, they did not do anything particularly harmful to the world.

After all, the ideal of the Necromancer is to find a new way out for the human race and to resist the Beast God who suppresses the human race.

However, the Necromancer's talent was indeed a little lacking, and his level had not improved even after he had broken through to the epic level for a long time.

Therefore, he made the decision to shut himself up and make a final attempt to reach the legendary level.

It was during this period that the empire collapsed and the evil god clan intensified their invasion of the Star-Moon Continent. Many elders who were in charge of the Undead Cult were bewitched by the evil god clan, causing the Undead Cult to use any means to increase its strength from this period on, offending many forces.

If these forces had not been wary of the epic necromancer Los and the many legendary elders of the Undead Cult, who were suspected of having connections with the evil god, they would have destroyed the Undead Cult 100 times already.

"Ji Chuanshu, you have reached the legendary level. Even if the Undead Cult has the big devil Los in charge, it should be no problem for you to destroy them!"

"If you can destroy the evil cult of the dead, I, Baidie Valley, am willing to join the Beast Taming House and become its subordinate force!" A woman in a yellow skirt stood up.

Ji Yuan nodded and said, your valley master is already my wife, what else could it be.

"Everyone listen to me."

"The situation of the human race is not optimistic now."

"The evil god master of the overseas evil god lineage is close to the main god level, and its seven followers are also at the legendary level."

"If there weren't other legendary races that were balancing the legendary life of the evil god, the situation for our human race would be even more difficult."

"These ten years have made me realize that if we want the human race to gain a foothold on this continent, we must have a unified force to unite the few forces of the human race. Only in this way can we compete with those alien races that are eyeing the human race covetously!"

"If you want to resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the internal situation. Right now, the Undead Cult is the number one internal enemy that hinders the development of our major beast control forces. No, the Undead Cult is suspected to be connected with the evil god. Maybe they have become traitors. They are the targets that we must eliminate first."

"This time, I will lead everyone to encircle and destroy the evil cult of the dead. Everyone will take revenge on those who have grudges and complain to those who have grudges."

"However, as far as I know, the headquarters of the Undead Cult is built in a very powerful secret world inside the body of a dead creature. It is suspected to have many trump cards, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. There may even be trump cards with legendary power."

"But don't worry, I can handle all of these. You just need to strictly follow my instructions. This operation will definitely destroy the Undead Cult!"

"I wonder if you have any other questions."

The lobby became lively again. Lu Ran was just watching the show the whole time and even heard people discussing him.

"Whose family does that young man belong to? Why didn't he say a word the whole time?"

"No, I heard that he was a wild beast tamer. He followed his master in the mountains and practiced hard since he was a child. He only left the mountains after his master died."

"Ah? Even if you stay in the mountains, you can become a legend? Is your origin reliable?"

"Of course he is reliable. Are you afraid that he is an undercover agent of the Undead Cult? You know what kind of aura those beast masters of the Undead Cult are like. They are neither human nor ghost. This one is as righteous as Ji Yuan Chuanqi. When he heard that the Beast Taming House was going to organize an anti-cult movement, he responded immediately."

"Don't worry, the Beast Master has verified the other party's identity, so why are you worried?"

"I'm not worried. Since he's a wild beast tamer, he must be in need of a warm home. My daughter is 28 years old and seems to be a perfect match for this genius."

"What the hell! Such a talent must have been directly reserved by the six major sects!"

There are now six major beast-controlling forces in the Star-Moon Continent.

The Beast Taming House, Longmen, Baidie Valley, the beast taming family Lin family, Wanshou Villa, and the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce all have at least one epic-level beast tamer in charge.

Now, several great epics have also attended the conference.

After the discussion, the super beast taming alliance, temporarily named "Beast Taming Alliance", headed towards the headquarters of the Undead Cult.

Lu Ran yawned and followed the main group, planning to fail the breakthrough mission first and then find a way to mess with the evil god.

………………

Everyone rode their own flying pets on this expedition. Since Lu Ran's flying pet was too conspicuous, he followed and sat in the Nine Dragon Carriage of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce.

There were nine dragons pulling several suspended carriages flying in the air for some beastmasters who didn't want to move to ride.

Lu Ran closed his eyes and meditated in the car, but he was actually practicing the Star-Moon Beast Taming System, constantly cultivating his soul clone in the beast taming space.

"This young master..."

Until, with a gentle voice, the door curtain was pulled open, and a woman with a face as beautiful as the moon, graceful and elegant, walked in with a pot of tea and said, "The journey is long. This is the precious Linglong tea of ​​our Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. It will quench your thirst."

"Thanks."

Lu Ran thanked him casually, but after opening his eyes, his eyes could not leave the other person's face.

It’s not that the other person is so beautiful, but the other person’s appearance instantly reminded Lu Ran of the first time.

When he first entered the secret realm of breakthrough, he was an apprentice in a place called Frost Moon Tower. The shopkeeper Taki of Frost Moon Tower provided Lu Ran with a lot of help and took Lu Ran to understand the concept of cooking.

As for the woman in front of him, Lu Ran vaguely felt that she was about 70% similar to the shopkeeper Taki.

"What's your name?" Lu Ran asked subconsciously.

“My name is Ling Wan’er, the daughter of Ling Feng, the vice president of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, and a sixth-level beastmaster…” the woman answered softly, with ripples in her heart. If it were an ordinary person, she would naturally not be qualified to ask her to serve tea. However, Lu Ran’s identity in breaking through the secret realm this time was that of a young legend, so naturally he was treated differently.

"Oh? Her surname is Ling, not Taki. That's right, so much time has passed, and the shopkeeper Taki is a woman." Lu Ran shook his head.

"What does this mean, sir?"

"Nothing, there's just an old friend who looks very similar to you. Do you have an ancestor with the surname Taki?" Lu Ran was bored and continued to ask.

“Well… may I ask how far back in time the ancestors can be traced?” Ling Wan’er looked at Lu Ran curiously, not understanding why Lu Ran, who was in his early twenties, insisted that he was an old friend of her ancestors.

"Probably, it can be traced back to the time of the third emperor. At that time, Emperor Yan had just passed away and the culinary art was flourishing. In the Ningchuan area of ​​Tianlan Province in the Beast Taming Empire, there was a restaurant called Shuangyue Tower, and the owner had a surname of Long."

"I was just an apprentice beastmaster at that time, and I hadn't even reached level one. I happened to learn cooking in Frost Moon Tower. Manager Taki helped me a lot. I didn't expect that thousands of years later, I would still meet someone similar to her. I guess you should be her descendant." Lu Ran sighed.

Ling Waner: ???

The third emperor period???
Thousands of years ago?

She was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Ran blankly, her brain unable to process for a moment.

"you you……"

"Are you trying to say that I look this old, how could I possibly be an apprentice in a tavern thousands of years ago?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "What you see may not be true. Do you want to eat?"

He took out a string of candied haws from the space equipment. After seeing his old friend after more than a year (several thousand years), Lu Ran was also very touched. This feeling... is this "time"?

"No... Young Master is really good at joking. If there is nothing else, Wan'er will take her leave first."

The woman named Ling Wan'er walked out of the car and stood in the sky. Her pretty and graceful temperament changed and she frowned.

She really wanted to treat Lu Ran’s nonsense as a joke, but looking at Lu Ran’s serious and nostalgic expression, it didn’t feel like a joke.

What is the origin of this person? I just wanted to get in touch with him as a wild legendary genius... "I have to report to my father."

At the same time, inside the dragon carriage, Lu Ran looked at the candied haws, shook his head, took out a rare strengthening card, and slapped it on it.

"No wonder I didn't eat. I forgot to take my card."

After finishing two strings of candied haws in one gulp, Lu Ran looked towards the Undead Cult with his eyes narrowed slightly. "I remember Ghost Mother said that the evil god followers responsible for bewitching the Undead Cult at that time were the Evil God of Lust and the Evil God of Gluttony, right? The Evil God of Lust had the successful experience of establishing the 'Witch Cult', so this time he set his sights on the Undead Cult again. The Evil God of Gluttony was responsible for strengthening the Undead creatures' desire for souls... Well, now this Saint Son... is here."
