He didn't know what happened next.
Archaeologists on Blue Star have not done enough to excavate this period of history.
Lu Ran couldn't help but imagine everything.
One possibility is that the Cult of the Dead was defeated by the Beastmaster Empire.
However, the Beast Taming Empire was preoccupied with its own affairs in its later years, and the real goal of the Cult of the Dead was not to overthrow the empire, so the chances of a fatal fight between the two were not high.
There is another possibility, that is, in the future the Master of the Necromancer will lead the Necromancer Cult to take that step and challenge the legendary realm.
And the result...
"Well, no matter what, this is already hundreds of millions of years of history."
Soon, Lu Ran stopped worrying.
What would it matter if he knew? Not to mention that the enemy no longer existed. Even if he did, his identity as the Holy Son of the Undead was false after all. He had not left any trace in the true history of the Star-Moon Continent. Who could he seek revenge on? It would not be justified.
If the opponent is a legendary being, then one day, fulfilling the wish of the necromancer master may be the best reward.
Buzz! While Lu Ran was distracted, the first round of evil spirits had already attacked. He did not summon his pet, but just stood there without moving. The flames rising around him turned into a flaming knife, which easily devoured the evil spirits.
"Challenge the secret realm first."
From the levels of the evil spirits refreshed in the first round, Lu Ran knew that this kind of trial secret realm was indeed a mechanism, which depended on the level of the trial-taker. There was no qualitative difference in difficulty between the Youxiong clan and the other side, so after Lu Ran summoned the Dark Crows, it didn't take long for him to kill all the evil spirits in the ten rounds.
This process was uneventful. The boss of the last level was still a low-level overlord. Lin Nian felt much more comfortable all the way through than when he encountered a low-level overlord in the seventh level.
【Congratulations on completing the secret realm challenge. 】
[Rating: SSS level! ]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Beast Taming Skill: Death Resurrection. ]
[Congratulations on obtaining the special crystal: Soul Burning (You can burn your own soul power to multiply your combat potential.) ]
【Congratulations on getting the exclusive secret realm card x1. 】
There were no surprises during the reward drops, just popular skill cards and trait crystals.
Only...exclusive secret realm card!
This wave is worth it!
As Lu Ran guessed, when the exclusive key to this secret realm was lost at the moment of breaking through the secret realm, this secret realm immediately became ownerless.
And now that he has passed the level perfectly again, the ownership of this secret realm in reality will be decided by him.
[Name]: Exclusive Secret Realm Card
[Introduction]: The exclusive secret realm card of the Dead Realm can transform designated items into secret realm keys. Through the secret realm key, the key holder has the power to "close the secret realm" and "open the secret realm".
After getting the exclusive secret realm card, Lu Ran smiled.
From now on, not everyone can enter this secret realm of the undead. Even if some high-level officials from the other side who have not surrendered reveal the method of entering the secret realm, that is only the method of entering the secret realm when it has no owner.
As long as he closes the secret realm, no one can enter.
"What object can be transformed into a key?"
Teeth, scales, eyeballs? Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha, King Sudden Death, and Dark Crow who were observing the secret realm.
After coming out to fight, President Ha and King of Death also found that this place was very familiar and realized where it was.
As a scout in the team, Dark Crow is the main force of exploration and is entrusted by Lu Ran with the important task of investigating the secret realm.
Soon, the entire scene of the Secret Realm of the Dead was within Dark Crow's sight.
"My lord, we haven't found the deep space!"
"Woo woo, it could also be that my abilities are not enough!"
After some reconnaissance, Dark Crow cried and said that during the battle just now, Lu Ran asked Dark Crow to scout and see if he could find the entrance to the deep space in this surface space.
As a result, the Dark Crow could not be found.
What Lu Ran was looking for was naturally the mysterious space that the Necromancer Master had brought him into.
This is the so-called place chosen by God.
That place should contain some legendary power of the Death Dragon's followers that can transform humans into an undead race.
Lu Ran had been transformed at the beginning. In the words of the necromancy master, even if his body died, his soul would remain immortal and could be resurrected as a "dead spirit".
Lu Ran’s idea is that if he can also control the land chosen by God, he will make a lot of money.
But unfortunately, this secret realm of the dead is probably just a "projection of the headquarters of the dead cult."
It is not the location of the real necromancy cult.
After all, this secret realm can be challenged by multiple people at the same time. If it weren't for projection, how could challengers challenge the same secret realm in different spaces?
Obviously, the Infinite City only projected the surface space of the Necromancer, and did not create the deep mysterious space containing the power of the Death Dragon's followers.
"never mind."
You know, when the Necromancer wanted to open that space, he seemed to have made a lot of preparations and spent a lot of effort. If he allowed himself to crack it so easily, that would be a problem.
In short, now that this secret realm of the undead belongs to me, it is already a great gain.
This harvest, in addition to the stable undead transformation ability, also refers to the harvest of such a land of death! "Boss Ha, give me the Fang of Winter." Lu Ran spoke to Boss Ha, who was sniffing the air from the ground in the distance. Boss Ha slowly raised his head and threw the big sword like a dart.
After Lu Ran caught it, it continued to sniff the scent.
Lu Ran, who got the Fang of Winter, narrowed his eyes and stuck the sword in place.
Then, the Fang of Winter emitted a faint halo, and mysterious patterns flickered on the sword. The halo came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Gah, my king."
"What does this mean?"
The Dark Crow was flying in the sky. Having not experienced the last breakthrough in the secret realm, it didn't understand much about these things.
"This sword was forged using the soul forging method. As long as a soul-forged weapon is nurtured in the land of death, there is a high probability that a 'spirit' will be born."
“I’ll just give it a try and come a few more times in the future. If the Fang of Winter can really give birth to a spirit, then Mr. Ha will have his first follower.” Lu Ran clapped his hands.
However, after continuing to look at the Fang of Winter without any subsequent reaction, Lu Ran felt a toothache again.
It would be nice if there was a progress bar, even if the nurturing time is very long, at least there is hope.
Right now, the Fang of Winter has no reaction at all when inserted into the Land of Death. God knows how long it will take to nurture.
Come on, take it slow. Anyway, in addition to the idea of sword spirit followers, Lu Ran also plans to study how sword grass can develop consciousness.
The two routes are moving forward in parallel, and one of them will always be achieved first.
…
After passing the secret realm, the challenger can still stay there for a period of time, just like the ordinary secret realms in the Infinite City. During this time, Lu Ran can use it to nourish the spirit of the weapon.
What made Lu Ran uncomfortable was that even after he transformed "a crow feather" into the key to the secret realm and gained control of the secret realm, he still did not gain many privileges.
Being able to control the opening and closing of the entrance to the secret realm does not allow him to treat this secret realm of the dead as his own back garden. In essence, this secret realm is still a trial secret realm set up by the Infinite City.
In this way, it would be much more troublesome for Lu Ran to nourish the spirit of the weapon, and he could only go in and out again and again.
When the bald Lu Ran walked out of the secret realm, it was already several hours later. Outside, Lin Nian and Store Manager Ying were waiting anxiously.
Lu Ran, this is too long. With Lu Ran's strength, is it so difficult to challenge this secret realm of the dead? However, as they sensed Lu Ran coming out, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not killed in it.
"Hey, hey, what's taking so long?"
The two thought that Lu Ran had been delayed for so long because he had experienced a fierce battle. However, when they found that Lu Ran was in high spirits and his holy robe of the dead was not dusty at all, they suddenly felt that there was something strange.
Manager Ying stepped forward, and when Lu Ran saw the two of them, he said, "It took some time to explore the secret realm. This secret realm..."
"Um?"
"This secret place is the headquarters of the Undead Cult in the Star-Moon Continent. I stayed there for half a month and was deeply impressed."
"Huh?" Lin Nian heard Lu Ran's words and said, "Then you, the Holy Son of the Dead, are like returning home."
"Don't tell me that the Necromancer has any hidden treasures. You were just busy inheriting the legacy!"
Her suspicion was not without reason. Lu Ran was indeed unscientific. Even in the real secret realm, he was still causing trouble. Lin Nian did not find it strange.
"How is that possible?" Lu Ran smiled bitterly. "Although the background is the headquarters of the Necromancer, this secret realm is essentially a 'projection', fabricated by the Infinite City for people to test. Would it be so kind to preserve the relics?"
"Even if the Necromancer really has any legacy, it can't be here."
"So you have cleared the secret realm, right? Did you get any exclusive secret realm cards?" Manager Ying asked the key question.
"Of course." Lu Ran said: "Now the control of this secret realm is in my hands. As long as I don't worry about breaking through the secret realm, I don't have to worry about this secret realm being snatched away."
"That's right. Now we don't have to stay in this damn place any longer." Lin Nian shrugged and said, "Let the pig guard here. I'm leaving."
"Hey, hey, don't be impatient, sister."
"In the next few days, I want to stay here for special training." Lu Ran said: "Although it is a projection, I feel that it also has some exploration value."
"It depends on the extent to which Infinite City has replicated this secret realm. If it is a breakthrough in the secret realm, even if it is a projection, it is still possible to discover something."
"Switch to Pig God. I don't trust his strength..."
Lu Ran planned to stay, not only to continue exploring the secret realm and nurturing the sword spirit, but also for another purpose.
Even this secret realm of the Trial of the Dead is not without any trial value.
If the King of Sudden Death and Dark Crow are included, it would be as easy for Lu Ran to pass through this secret realm as drinking water. However, if Mr. Ha were to challenge it alone, it would be really not easy.
Before Mr. Ha evolved, Lu Ran had planned to have him undergo special training here, using the evil spirits of high-level kings and low-level overlord races as trial stones for the Sword Domain.
At this stage... Lu Ran felt that he still needed the protection of this killing god sister...
