Chapter 634 - Wanting to Have a Child with Lu Ran

The gem space was completely silent.

Not long after, Isis struggled to regenerate from a drop of blood, but the reborn overlord creation no longer had the strength to stand up.

Not just it, but Sybas’s secretary Cartney also remained in a continuous state of dizziness after Isis’ explosion. She vaguely felt a large hand reaching for her body, constantly tormenting it, and her energy was thus completely drained.

“Damn it...” The bull-shaped demon Isis ultimately lost consciousness, completely drained.

Lu Ran hadn’t forgotten that the main purpose of fighting experts was to absorb part of their origin energy. While doing so would severely weaken them, merely having some origin energy stripped away was already fortunate.

In terms of energy level, these opponents were actually inferior to Lu Ran’s full team. However, Lu Ran’s goal was to impact the Cosmic level. They couldn’t afford to act as Limitless City’s battery themselves. If they became rechargeable batteries like the Genesis Dragon, unable to even move freely, they wouldn’t have the energy to advance.

Fighting experts allowed them to both recharge energy and hone their skills, making it worthwhile.

“Just... the energy from Primary Divines is probably a drop in the bucket. If we could find a Cosmic-level being to keep the Genesis Dragon company, Limitless City’s power should increase significantly, but where to find a Cosmic-level being...?”

As Lu Ran muttered to himself, the gem space remained silent. No one had expected Sybas’s secretary to be defeated so easily.

Regardless, Cartney was a top-tier figure below the Cosmic level. The Gem Queen gazed deeply at Lu Ran, feeling he was even stronger than she had anticipated. Indeed, she might misjudge, but that duck definitely hadn’t misread. Lu Ran and that crow were outrageously powerful.

“Awesome!”

However, the more this was the case, the more excited the Gem Queen became after processing it.

Damn, even the secretary personally trained by Sybas was defeated like this. Doesn’t that mean I picked up a huge treasure?

Although Lu Ran’s origins were mysterious and his power sinister, the Gem Queen truly wasn’t afraid of inviting trouble. Not to mention, she was a Cosmic-level being, and furthermore, this universe had the Keeper guarding it. Lu Ran couldn’t cause any major waves. She would just use Lu Ran to establish her own prestige.

Looking at the fallen Cartney, the Gem Queen said with regret, “Sybas, your secretary’s strength seems rather lacking. She couldn’t even withstand a single move from my employee. I think you’d better not bother with the Beastmaster Championship. Just humbly consider the cooperation matter I mentioned last time.”

The Gem Queen sat on her throne, muttering to herself. However, Sybas, located within the Overlord Territory, snorted coldly, knowing this cat was holding a grudge.

A long time ago, the Gem Queen wanted to cooperate with it to make money together, but was rejected. Now, this cat finally had a chance to gloat.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran, with a smile, spoke up. “Your Majesty, the next one?”

“

Hmm,

you are good.” The Gem Queen looked at Lu Ran with appreciation, while Lu Ming, Mun, and the Spider Queen broke out in cold sweat.

Something’s wrong.

They carefully recalled the entire process and suddenly discovered an even more terrifying detail.

You have a familiar that cultivates pollution power, right? Let it out to fight. Are you scared?

This was what the Gem Queen had said to Lu Ran earlier. That meant Lu Ran wasn’t a beastmaster who solely cultivated pollution power. Judging by the Gem Queen’s tone, he possessed other familiars, and those other familiars, in terms of power, might not be weaker than this crow.

This is... extremely frightening.

“So, who’s next?” Lu Ran’s gaze fell upon Lu Ming, Mun, and the Spider Queen.

No matter how little energy, it still needed to be accumulated. The expressions of the three changed repeatedly.

***

In fact, these people were overthinking it. Since Dark Crow had been deployed and since it hadn’t lost combat ability, Lu Ran couldn’t be bothered to switch familiars.

Frequent switching was less beneficial than letting Dark Crow solo the experience and gain more practice with the new beastmaster skill. Lu Ran felt that, with his current amplification, Dark Crow alone should be enough to suppress these people.

As Dark Crow’s injuries rapidly healed, the Spider Queen stepped forward. As a powerhouse from the previous era, she mainly cultivated Buddhist doctrines, excelled in purification, and had even fought against the destroyed Polluted Land’s Cosmic Emperor, the Dark King. She believed that she should be more adept at handling pollution power than Cartney.

However, neither she nor the familiars she trained could offer much resistance under just a few words from Dark Crow. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her Buddha light was tainted, and her combat posture quickly devolved into a struggle just to maintain consciousness and not collapse.

“Why? The opponent is clearly only a Primary Divine, but this pollution power impacting my mind, spirit, and bloodline gives me a feeling comparable to a Cosmic Emperor!”

Before losing consciousness, the Spider Queen remained puzzled.

Besides the nun Spider Queen wanting to verify Dark Crow’s pollution power herself, the hidden Karnid Queen behind her also wanted to verify Lu Ran. Similar to Sybas, seeing her representative defeated so easily, the Queen located within the Karnid Hive revealed a sinister smile, growing interested in Lu Ran.

“Factoring in its mastery of space and time power, that crow's strength is only slightly stronger than an ordinary peak Primary Divine.

“With just this strength, it normally wouldn't be able to win so easily. However, with Lu Ran helping out, the situation became one-sided with no suspense.

“It seems that the black blood that Lu Ran uses to strengthen his familiar is quite extraordinary. No, Lu Ran’s own bloodline is quite extraordinary.”

The Karnid Queen rose from her hive throne, transforming into a humanoid insectoid mother empress, gazing greedily at Lu Ran. Humans could also possess special bloodline constitutions.

Lu Ran’s world had special constitution holders like Hel, Jiyuan, and Peanut. In this universe, there naturally also existed humans with special constitutions, their talents manifesting in various aspects.

In the Karnid Queen’s view, Lu Ran must be one of these people. She had devoured most of the top bloodlines in this universe, giving birth to countless offspring, but this was the first time she had seen a constitution that provided such a talent boost to familiar combat power.

In her opinion, Lu Ran’s boost to familiar combat power was already close to that of a Cosmic-level beastmaster’s boost to their familiars.

This was indeed true. Lu Ran hadn’t even fully utilized the Keeper’s power yet. If he had amplified Dark Crow with full power, it might have made these Cosmic Emperors even more astonished.

“I want to have a child with this Lu Ran!”

As the universe’s top God of Fertility, the Karnid Queen, who enhanced her strength through reproduction, immediately decided she needed to collect Lu Ran’s bloodline. She planned to negotiate properly with the Gem Queen to borrow this subordinate for a few days.

The Karnid Queen indeed hadn’t misjudged. After Lu Ran contracted the Cosmic Will, if his talent and bloodline were called second best, only this universe’s Keeper would dare claim to surpass him. It was indeed an extremely precious bloodline.

Next, not only Cartney and the Spider Queen, but also Mun from the Giant Beast Empire and the two Giant Beasts he sent out were blasted by Dark Crow’s mere words. The Beast King within the Giant Beast Empire watched helplessly as his trained disciple was crushed, unable to do anything.

Additionally, on Lu Ming’s side, the World King could only watch as his subordinate was bullied by the Gem Queen’s subordinate, completely powerless.

In the eyes of the Cosmic-level beings, this exchange match was just the Gem Queen showing off to them.

On the throne, the Gem Queen covered her mouth and face with a fan, unable to help but laugh. “

Ohohohoho!

With such skills, you cannot represent the 11th Period in the Multiversal Beastmaster Championship. I say, you all should stop thinking about those rewards.”

He’s too strong.

The Gem Queen never expected Lu Ran to be this strong. In her view, these peak Primary Divines, while not matching a certain someone’s second-string familiars or Blue Planet’s Divine group receiving special training from the Keeper, were still extremely talented.

“What is his relationship with Shi Yu?”

The Beast King and World King didn’t believe Lu Ran was trained by the Gem Queen. They only felt that Lu Ran’s strength was undoubtedly related to the Gem Queen’s backer, the Keeper of the Universe, Shi Yu.

The Gem Queen addressed the Cosmic Emperors, “No comment. My employee here is a bit heavy-handed. It seems your subordinates are unable to continue fighting. In that case, please take them away first. After they wake up, you are welcome to have them come for more exchanges.”

The major Cosmic Emperors fell silent.

More exchanges?

Couldn’t they tell that after each battle ended, Lu Ran would drain the opponent’s energy?

While it was true that everything of the defeated rightfully belonged to the victor, Lu Ran’s method still displeased them. They also didn’t want to continue fueling the enemy. Continuing the exchanges would only make Lu Ran stronger.

Soon, the several Cosmic-level beings, having gained no intelligence and instead lost face, retrieved their subordinates. Only the unsatisfied Lu Ran and the Gem Queen remained on the scene.

“That’s it?” Lu Ran still looked like he hadn’t had enough.

He just felt the opponents were too few.

The Gem Queen glanced at Lu Ran and said, “It’s all because of you. If you had just defeated them without draining their stamina, controlled your strength, and focused on technical combat, the exchange match could have lasted much longer. Why drain the opponent’s stamina after defeating them?”

Lu Ran was taken aback and said, “I have several familiars to feed. If I don’t extract some energy from my opponents, I simply can’t afford to raise them.”

Lu Ran wasn’t exactly lying. The Cosmic Will also counted as his familiar, and he extracted energy to feed it. In fact, many species could absorb enemy energy, with plant species being the most common. The Gem Queen didn’t suspect much, only feeling that such a meticulous and calculating employee like Lu Ran was a good employee.

“Your strength indeed exceeds my expectations. No wonder you were so confident about the Beastmaster Championship hosted by the Keeper. I’m a bit curious about your full strength.” The Gem Queen’s eyes flashed.

“Your Majesty, do you wish to test me yourself?” Lu Ran’s eyes also suddenly flashed.

He was eager to try, wanting to see the gap between himself and a Cosmic-level being if he deployed all six familiars at full combat power without using Keeper privileges.

However, to Lu Ran’s surprise, the Gem Queen was just curious and soon fell silent. “

Huh?

How many familiars of this crow’s level do you have?”

“Five more.”

She stroked the throne with her palm and said, “Six... Too few. It’s still too early to challenge a Cosmic level. Don’t get cocky. These few people are far from representing the peak level of Primary Divine.

“The peak level of Primary Divine... is on Blue Planet, right?” Lu Ran asked.

These past few days, he had learned more information.

The Gem Queen looked at Lu Ran and said, “

Hmm.

It’s fine to tell you. The Keeper of the Universe originates from Blue Planet, so Blue Planet is exceptionally powerful.

“Some of the powerful beings on Blue Planet have permission to enter cosmic ruins personally arranged by the Keeper for training and honing their skills. This advantage has allowed these Blue Planet powerhouses to increase their strength to an unbelievable realm in an extremely short time, all for the sake of participating in the Keeper’s beastmaster game.

“However, these guys are all busy training in the ruins, so don’t think about fighting them. In short, you are not a Blue Planet human and cannot enter the trial ruins the Keeper prepared for Blue Planet. Ordinary battles won’t serve as training for you anymore... In that case...”

The Gem Queen Ying pondered slightly and said, “Kid, were you very eager to fight me just now?’

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“Forget about me. My strength is too great, and my power is particularly special. It’s not suitable for guiding you. Remember the Spider Queen from earlier? Her backer, the Karnid Queen, has contacted me. It seems she wants your bloodline to produce an excellent offspring.

“Her species becomes stronger the more powerful her offspring are. Your performance just now must have caught her attention. If you don’t mind part of your bloodline being... used elsewhere, I can negotiate terms with her for her to provide you with special training.” The Gem Queen felt rather clever.

Just his bloodline in exchange for a Cosmic-level training partner, how cost-effective. After all, even the current Keeper, for the sake of power, acknowledged the Karnid Queen as his foster mother. This move wasn’t a loss.

As the Karnid Queen who had devoured numerous top species across the universe, her knowledge was vast, making her very suitable for training her employee. On the other hand, she only needed to provide the suggestion.

“

Ah?

” Lu Ran was stunned.

The Karnid Queen wants to use my bloodline to have a child? Interesting...
