Chapter 259 - Control Over the Secret Realm
The devastating state of the Undead Cult headquarters left Lu Ran in silence. He had no idea what happened since he made an appearance in that secret realm. Even Blue Planet’s archaeologists had not thoroughly unearthed this part of history. Lu Ran could only fill in the blanks with his imagination.
One possibility was that the Undead Cult had been crushed by the Beastmaster Empire. However, in its later years, the Beastmaster Empire had struggled to hold itself together. The true goal of the Undead Cult was never to overthrow the empire, so the likelihood of an all-out war between them was low.
Another possibility was that the Necromancy Master had led the Undead Cult to take the step forward to challenge the Legendary realm. And the result...
“Ah, whatever. It’s been who knows how many hundreds of millions of years.” Lu Ran quickly dismissed the thought.
What would knowing change?
The enemies were long gone. Even if they weren’t, his identity as the Undead Holy Son was entirely false. He had left no mark in the real history of the Stellar Moon Continent. Who was there to take revenge on? There was no justification for it.
If his opponents were Legendary beings, then one day, fulfilling the Necromancy Master’s wishes might be the best way to repay everything.
While Lu Ran had been lost in thought, the first wave of vicious spirits in the trial had already attacked. Without summoning his familiars, he stood motionless. He allowed the flames rising around him to transform into a Flame Blade, effortlessly devouring the vicious spirits.
“Let’s focus on challenging the secret realm first.”
From the level of the first wave of vicious spirits, Lu Ran could tell that this trial realm followed a fixed mechanism. It adjusted to the trial participant’s level. The Youxiong Clan’s and the Other Shore’s secret realms followed the same rules. There was no fundamental difference in difficulty.
After Lu Ran summoned Dark Crow and the others, he swiftly eliminated all ten waves of vicious spirits. The process was smooth and uneventful. The final boss was still a Low Overlord, which made things much easier than it was for Lin Nian. She encountered a Low Overlord as early as the seventh wave.
