King of Beasts

Public Infinite City, Evolution Secret Realm, Antarctica.

The uneven surface cracked open, unleashing countless beams of light. At this moment, hundreds of beastmasters simultaneously threw trait crystals towards their pet beasts!

Lu Ran, likewise, took out the “dragon king bloodline trait crystal” and tossed it towards the sudden death king.

“Roar!!!”

Under the watchful eyes of general ha and the dark crow, the sudden death king was exceptionally tense.

As the first one in the team to undergo a stage one evolution and currently having the lowest species level, it felt immense pressure.

However, remembering all the hardships endured and the many blows taken, the sudden death king’s gaze gradually turned fierce.

It was determined to achieve the world’s strongest defense!

Buzz!

A vast amount of evolution energy, spurting from all directions within the secret realm, rushed towards the sudden death king, enveloping it in a swirl.

In an instant, its massive body was wrapped in a white light of evolution.

Various emotions-nervousness, anxiety, anticipation-surfaced in Lu Ran’s heart.

“Believe in yourself.” Standing on a boulder not far away, Gu Qingyi and Shi Zhen watched and advised Lu Ran not to be overly nervous.

Exquisite-level resource combined with the dragon king bloodline trait crystal was a sure thing.

Although Lu Ran’s lizard was inherently weaker, and fusing two traits only made it a middle commander-unlike the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which became a lower sovereign upon fusing two traits-they believed that with supplemental Loong-type cuisine, Lu Ran’s pet beast wouldn’t be lacking.

“Of course, I believe.”

At this moment, no one knew, not even Gu Qingyi, that Lu Ran was actually nervous about the sudden death king’s potential leap from middle commander to overlord species!

He wasn’t worried about it undergoing dragon transformation or reaching the upper sovereign level!!

Lu Ran had kept the sudden death king’s perfect dragon soul a secret, considering how shocking it might be that a non-necromancy creature had been consuming souls. Fearing that Manager Ying and Dr. Gu wouldn’t accept it, he had simply skipped over that detail.

However, once the soul enhancement method is confirmed in this Evolution Secret Realm, all conventional notions should be shattered. Not just necromancy creatures can enhance their souls by consuming souls, normal creatures can do it too. Ahem, he’s really not a villain…

A few seconds passed.

The sudden death king was still enveloped in the light of evolution. Lu Ran’s soul enhancement was also infused into the sudden death king.

At this moment, besides the beastmasters who were very nervous about their evolving pet beasts, the hundreds of top-tier experts gathered in the sky were also tense.

They came from various countries, riding on flying pet beasts, observing the entire evolution land through the eye of data, monitoring the pet beasts below.

They hoped their friends or compatriots would gain something valuable.

They desired the beastmasters of rival nations to fail in their evolution!

Of course, besides them, there were also a group of top-notch journalists flying in the sky, documenting the evolution process of each beastmaster.

“Is there any big news, any big news?” A white-haired girl sitting on a flying squirrel was constantly searching for big news. Her main targets were people from the Dinosaur Research Institute, Dragon Chef Lu Ran, and Pig Deity Zhu Kaixin.

Occasionally, she would also glance at other beastmasters.

Soon, several pet beasts completed their first evolution, enveloped by evolution energy.

Boom!

A massive sovereign presence swept through the evolution energy like a storm, covering the sky.

But unfortunately, as the white mouse reporter observed for a while, she saw dozens of pet beasts finish their evolution, yet none offered the big news she sought.

Most beastmasters’ pet beasts, even after being bathed in evolution energy and undergoing the first stage of evolution, only advanced to lower sovereign species.

“Lower, lower, middle, lower…” The white mouse reporter’s gaze shifted, countless data appearing in her eye of data.

Honestly speaking, achieving lower sovereign level with just a first evolution meant the 100,000 crystal coins weren’t spent in vain. Reaching middle sovereign level, they had hit the jackpot.

It’s worth noting that some top-tier big shots with initial contracts with upper sovereigns had their upper sovereign pet beasts not immediately reaching that level after a single evolution. Most succeeded only after fusing two additional traits, reaching the pinnacle of sovereigns.

Therefore, reaching middle sovereign with a single evolution was already considered very high-quality data.

However, it wasn’t enough!

The white mouse reporter wanted to see novel evolutionary forms, upper sovereign levels, and the birth of ultra-rare attributes.

Finally.

Under her gaze, two stars suddenly lit up against the pitch-black sky.

One red, one black.

Buzz!!!

These two stars erupted with dazzling light, descending like comets. Countless beastmasters raised their heads in shock, looking towards the two positions directly bathed in starlight.

The red light fell directly in front of an orange-haired beastmaster, bathing the bird-like pet beast encased in the light of evolution in front of him.

“Star Blessing!!!” The youth, with the identifier Phoenix, was elated.

Meanwhile, the other beam of light landed in front of a Black Chieftain, illuminating his tiger-shaped pet beast wrapped in the light of evolution!

“Excellent!!!” The Black Chieftain smiled.

This scene made countless people green with envy.

Quickly, these two pet beasts completed their evolution. A firebird bathed in starlight flames soared up, showcasing its powerful upper sovereign bloodline, even with a phantom of a Phoenix appearing behind it.

[Name]: Phoenix

[Attributes]: Fire, Light

[Species Level]: Upper Sovereign

[Growth Level]: Level 33

[Introduction]: Contains Phoenix bloodline, awakens self-healing power!

On the other side, a black tiger beast roared, breaking through the light of evolution.

[Name]: Darklight Tiger Beast

[Attributes]: Dark, Space

[Species Level]: Upper Sovereign

[Growth Level]: Level 31

[Introduction]: Perfectly merges space attribute!

As these two star blessings descended, other stars began to light up one after another, bestowing star blessings in various directions.

At this moment, numerous top-tier experts and beastmasters, who were closely monitoring the situation, simultaneously turned their attention to one particular direction.

That direction was where the Eagle Federation’s dinosaur research team was located.

Here, numerous researchers from the Eagle Federation had gathered.

If there was one nation most closely watched for this Evolution Secret Realm event, it was undoubtedly the Eagle Federation, which had made headlines internationally several times.

Every beastmaster knew they were aiming to complete their second dragon transformation experiment on this site!

Would they succeed?

At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex contracted by the evolver undoubtedly received the star blessing as well.

The evolver was a brown-haired young man wearing glasses, looking scholarly and expectantly at his new pet.

“Roar!!!!” Under the light of evolution, a more intense and realistic Dragon Might erupted, causing the ground to tremble. As the light of evolution shattered, a massive 20-meter-tall giant earth dragon roared in all directions!!!

“Perfect!!!” The evolver suddenly shouted.

The continuous roars made the newly evolved creatures within a hundred square miles show expressions of fear and awe. The attributes of this giant earth dragon quickly appeared in the eyes of many experts, astonishing them.

[Name]: Ancient Rock Dragon

[Attributes]: Loong-type (Earth, Rock)

[Species Level]: Upper Sovereign

[Growth Level]: Level 32

[Introduction]: Awakens the bloodline of the ancient Dragon Clan, potential close to an overlord!

“Oh!!!!” Dr. Hayden’s joy was almost overflowing.

Many international reporters also began to breathe heavily.

“My god, the second Loong-type creature has been born on Blue Star!!!”

“The Eagle Federation has indeed cultivated a second Loong-type.”

“Its evolutionary potential is rated as close to an overlord by Infinite City! This is the power of the Loong-type?!”

“The ancient Dragon Clan bloodline, so powerful! I wonder how Professor Lu Ran is doing over there.”

With this scene unfolding, the eyes of many experts couldn’t help but shift towards Dragon Chef Lu Ran from Xia Country.

Everyone knew that Xia Country and the Eagle Federation had always been competing in Loong-type research.

Now, the Eagle Federation had undoubtedly proven their success.

But what about Lu Ran?

Even the stubborn Dr. Hayden, greatly confident in his own research, couldn’t help but ride his pet beast into the sky to look in Lu Ran’s direction. This time, surely that kid would be convinced, right?

How could any dragon compare to the ancient Dragon Clan?

Rely on that middle commander-level Dragon Lizard?

However, what left everyone puzzled was that Lu Ran’s Dragon Lizard, which was shrouded in the light of evolution, had neither received a star blessing nor completed its evolution by breaking through the light.

It appeared to be stuck somehow.

“Professor Lu Ran-“

“The Eagle Federation’s dinosaur research institute has already evolved the second Loong-type creature on Blue Star. What are your thoughts on this?”

At this moment, even a fearless reporter, riding a flying pet beast, approached Lu Ran and brazenly asked the question.

It was clearly a reporter from the Eagle Federation.

Nearby, Gu Qingyi and Shi Zhen were about to get angry, but Lu Ran, who was enhancing the soul of the Sudden Death King, simply smiled and waved his hand slightly.

“Sorry, I’m not interested in competing for the ‘second’ or ‘third’ title right now.”

“I already have a ‘first’ beside me, so I aim to be the ‘first’ as well,” Lu Ran said, looking at Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi blinked and muttered, “Huh?”

This brat isn’t concerned about his pet beast now and still has the time to banter?

“Haven’t you noticed that nine star blessings just descended from the sky?”

Lu Ran’s voice wasn’t loud, but the strong ones had excellent hearing.

At this moment, Lu Ran’s heart was trembling because, through the contract link, he could clearly feel the astonishing transformation happening to the Sudden Death King!!

The surging bloodline power, the turbulent spiritual sea, the roaring dragon soul… all indicated that this was an epic level transformation.

Even the Diamond Dragon paled in comparison to the current Sudden Death King.

He… seemed to really be on the verge of cultivating a Dragon King!!

Second Loong-type on Blue Star? No need! He had no interest in that.

He wanted to be the first beastmaster on Blue Star to cultivate an overlord species creature!

At this very moment, the White Mouse reporter was stunned to find that as the last few star blessings completed, the entire starry sky lit up.

The dazzling starlight outlined a constellation- a dragon-shaped constellation.

It seemed that the blessing of a single special star couldn’t further enhance the existing evolutionary potential of the next pet beast.

Boom!!!

The starlight from the dragon-shaped constellation fell, causing many to show confused and astonished expressions.

What was happening? Why was this different from before?

“Is this cheating?” A strong individual blurted out.

In the next instant.

The final star blessing descended entirely upon the Sudden Death King.

The Dragon-shaped Star Soul fell swiftly from the starry sky, shimmering with dazzling starlight, and perfectly fused with the light of evolution!

“Roar!!!!” An astonishing Dragon Roar echoed through the void.

The Sudden Death King’s form expanded once again, growing to over ten meters, becoming a colossal entity.

“Why!!!” Dr. Hayden, in mid-air, widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked up and down, unable to comprehend how Lu Ran’s middle commander-level Dragon Lizard could cause such an unprecedented change in the Evolution Secret Realm.

Even with exquisite resources and top-level traits, it shouldn’t be causing this much commotion.

After all, they had those too!

“Indeed, what is going on here!” The White Mouse reporter from the International Alliance was also full of curiosity.

“Could it be…” A brave beastmaster speculated, feeling a shock in his heart.

Then, they all understood.

“Roar!!!!”

Accompanied by another dragon roar that reverberated through the starry sky, overwhelming Dragon Might swept across the area, forming an aura of dominance. The just-evolved Ancient Rock Dragon’s pupils contracted, and it instinctively crouched low. Numerous First Generation, Second Generation, and Third Generation pet beasts were quickly calmed by their owners, looking on in shock.

As the light dissipated, an immensely gigantic figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

However, this figure was not dragon-shaped but resembled a massive rock formation, comprised of two shield-like structures.

No, those weren’t shields; they were wings!

Shield-shaped wings!

“Woof!” General Ha’s eyes widened, thinking that the Sudden Death King had evolved its wings into shields to prevent Lu Ran from using its scales to make a shield!

As this figure unfurled its enormous dual wings-black on the outside and dark red on the inside-its full appearance was completely revealed.

It was a robust giant dragon with a domineering head and red shoulder and knee armor on its shoulders and legs!!

Its crimson eyes seemed to contain lightning capable of scorching the entire world. Its scales had a rocky texture with red light flowing internally. However, its most prominent feature was undoubtedly the massive Shield-shaped Wings it had just unfurled, far larger than its own body.

The wings on its back swayed slowly, resembling rock shields.

The newly born wings were imbued with tremendous power. With just a slight movement, thunder and lightning exploded around it, causing the void to roar.

“Roar-” The Sudden Death King’s profound gaze illuminated, and the thunderous roar echoed in the hearts of every beastmaster present.

[Name]: Shield-winged Dragon King

[Attribute]: Loong-type (Thunder, Rock)

[Species Level]: Middle Overlord

[Growth Level]: Level 30

[Introduction]: The unique species, king of myriad dragons.

At this moment, the first overlord species on Blue Star was born!

Moreover, it was not a lower overlord but an astonishing middle overlord, having undergone an evolution that crossed two major species levels!

Lu Ran stood beside the Shield-winged Dragon King, his expression serene.

It inherited the Dragon King’s mental intimidation from the Flame Dragon King.

It inherited the Dragon King’s bloodline power from the Diamond Dragon.

And it had devoured numerous overlord dragon souls, cultivated into a perfect Dragon Soul.

At this moment, all the investments had paid off. With the support of the Evolution Secret Realm, the Sudden Death King soared to new heights.

Not only did its species significantly enhance, but it also followed its own will, gaining a secondary attribute and achieving a supreme evolution that resulted in an astounding transformation in its defense!

Additionally…

[Species Talent]: Dragon King’s Shield (A pet beast with this talent, when entering the Dragon King’s Shield form, doubles its resistance to all types of damage and can convert a portion of the damage into its own energy and vitality.)

The Dragon King’s Shield form must be the state when its wings gather, right?

As Lu Ran sensed the Sudden Death King’s new abilities, the entire Evolution Secret Realm’s beastmasters, upon observing the Sudden Death King’s species level, were shaken as if a meteor had struck the earth!

It wasn’t just the foreign beastmasters who were astonished; even Gu Qingyi, Shi Zhen, and the distant Zhu Kaixin looked at the Sudden Death King’s new species in bewilderment.

Wait, middle… overlord?

“Hmm, not bad.” Lu Ran tried to maintain a calm demeanor.

But his composed appearance immediately caused countless First Generation beastmasters to explode with disbelief.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, a middle overlord???”

“My God, this can’t be real.”

“Seeing that level of blessing, I knew it had to be an overlord species,” a beastmaster commented. “But I never expected it to be as simple as a lower overlord; it’s a middle overlord! Come on… I can’t believe there’s such a pet beast out there!!”

“A pet beast species that many First Generations haven’t even cultivated yet, developed by a Fourth-generation beastmaster in a single evolution?”

“And it jumped from a middle commander to this, crossing two major levels…”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!” At this moment, Dr. Hayden, who had thought his cultivation of the Ancient Rock Dragon had assured his victory and earned his redemption, saw Lu Ran’s pet beast information and his eyes immediately reddened.

The degree of shock he felt was greater than anyone present.

His heartbeat was as loud as thunder.

Each dinosaur researcher looked in disbelief at the lightning-concentrated Dragon Might in the starry sky and at the Ancient Rock Dragon crouching on the ground, their minds in turmoil.

“This…” The evolvers from the Eagle Federation, seeing their newly evolved powerful pet beasts so utterly dwarfed, were confounded.

What kind of monster had that youth from Xia Country evolved?

They had maxed out everything, so how did the other side manage this??

The entire Evolution Secret Realm fell silent. Originally, all the ordinary evolutions had served as a backdrop for those blessed by the stars. But at this moment, even the evolved creatures blessed by the star blessings were overshadowed by the Shield-winged Dragon King form of the Sudden Death King.

“So that’s what he meant by second and first.”

Someone suddenly recalled Lu Ran’s words and felt a shiver down their spine, feeling like this young man held mastery over everything.

“Indeed, what’s the big deal about the second Loong-type being born?”

“It’s just the second one.”

“But the global birth of the first overlord species, now that’s the major news!!!” The white mouse reporter’s pupils constricted several times. Seeing many of her peers still stunned mid-air, she quickly chose to leave the realm!

She understood that this young man had become the beastmaster heralding the arrival of a brand-new era-the era of overlord species!
