Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

"Okay, you can go now."

"From now on, just do whatever you need to do. I won't control you."

After signing contracts with many Saint Domain-level powerhouses, Lu Ming prepared to send this group of people away so that he could keep himself quiet.

There was a sense of carefreeness in his words, as if signing these Sanctuary-level powerhouses was just to fulfill a certain ritual rather than true slavery.

Originally, these Saint Domain masters were worried that they would lose their freedom and even face unknown hardships after becoming Lu Ming's subordinates. However, after hearing Lu Ming's relaxed attitude, the heavy stone in their hearts fell quietly, and a trace of barely perceptible relief flashed in their eyes. They said respectfully in unison: "Thank you, sir, we will leave now."

At this moment, Lu Ming seemed to remember something. His eyes became serious and he kindly reminded them, "You are now my people. I thought about it and there is one thing I need to pay attention to. Before I destroy the Dark Council and the Church of Light, you'd better not let outsiders know about your relationship with me."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads, and their originally relaxed mood instantly became tense again.

As powerful sanctuary-level figures, they are well aware of the strength of the Dark Council and the Church of Light.

These two forces are like behemoths in the magic continent. They have countless sanctuary-level powerhouses and are existences that no one dares to provoke easily.

And now, Lu Ming actually said that he wanted to destroy these two forces, which shocked everyone present. They even wondered if they had heard it wrong.

If this were said by someone else, it would definitely be regarded as a joke. But considering the strength displayed by Lu Tuntian and the mysterious aura exuded by Lu Ming himself, no one dared to regard this as a joke.

At the same time, since they had been stranded deep in the Warcraft Mountains for some time and knew nothing about the outside world, they were not clear about Lu Ming's true identity and his entanglement with the Church of Light and the Dark Council.

Seeing the confusion and worry on everyone's faces, Lu Ming did not explain much. He just said calmly: "I have said everything I said. If you don't listen and want to die, then it has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Lu Ming took Lu Tuntian, Yan Jin, and Liu Ruyan away.

The powerful men from the Holy Land stood there for a while, chatted a little, and then dispersed.

After returning, they learned about the events in Sunset City and finally understood the grudges between Lu Ming and the two major forces. At the same time, they also regarded Lu Ming and Lu Tuntian as the incarnations of gods from another higher plane. No wonder they were so powerful that they dared not even think of resisting.

……

After separating from the group of powerful Saint Domain warriors, Lu Ming led Liu Ruyan and others towards the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, preparing to enter the human city.

Now that he has condensed the magic baby, his magician level has reached the holy realm. In addition, Lu Tuntian has obtained the Heaven-Devouring Magic Jar, so he is no longer afraid even if he encounters a god-level strongman.

So Lu Ming took the initiative to show up, using himself as bait, preparing to lure out the strong men from the Church of Light and the Dark Council again and catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, on the way, Lu Tuntian suddenly used his mental power to communicate with him and said, "Father, can you give me a top-grade magic stone vein and then teleport me back to the different space?"

Lu Ming was a little surprised at Lu Tuntian's request, but he did not refuse.

After all, whether it is the top-grade magic stone ore vein or the treasures in the space ring, they all belong to the Demon Emperor Tuntian, which is equivalent to Lu Tuntian's things.

Besides, Lu Tuntian regards himself as his father, how could he be stingy?

"Tian Tun, the top-grade mineral veins are originally the resources left by your previous life, so it's okay to give you one. But I'm curious, why did you bring these magic stones back to the alien space?"

Lu Ming asked the reason in confusion, and Lu Tuntian explained: "Father, I want these magic stones to set up a magic array in the alien space, and then find a way to gradually devour the world's origin there. In this way, with the help of the power of the world's origin, I can repair the body of the Demon Emperor, regenerate flesh and blood, and restore my cultivation to a certain level."

"what!"

"You want to devour the power of the origin of the alien world?"

Lu Ming was shocked by this idea.

You must know that the origin of the world is the core power of a world, which contains all the rules and power of the entire world.

For example, the god-level powerful people in the world of magic continent have comprehended part of the power of rules and condensed the divine nature, which is equivalent to gaining a trace of recognition from the origin of the world, so that they can transform into gods.

The situation is similar for the gods in higher planes outside the magic continent. They have gained more power from the origin of the world and have become the almighty gods.

But now Lu Tuntian told himself that he was going to devour the origin of the world in the alien space. Anyone in the magic continent would find it crazy to hear this.

But when I think about the fact that Lu Tuntian originally had the body of the Demon Emperor and had integrated the Demon Emperor's memories, it seems that nothing is impossible.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Tuntian, no matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally, but remember, no matter what the circumstances, you must first ensure your own safety and avoid any accidents. I don't want to lose you..."

"Don't worry, father. I won't do anything rash."

"The space where I was born and my soul flame was created is just a parallel space of the Magic Continent. The world level is very low and the area is very small, less than one-tenth of the Magic Continent."

"This has resulted in the rule power there being incomplete and the origin of the world being weak."

“Although after swallowing it, I will suffer the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth, and will also face the punishment of heavenly tribulation, but with the help of the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar, basically there will be no problem.”

Seeing that Lu Tuntian was full of confidence, Lu Ming felt a little relieved.

There are a total of more than ten top-grade magic stone veins in the space ring. Although Lu Tuntian only needs one, Lu Ming is not stingy and directly gave him five.

"Thank you father!"

Lu Tuntian thanked him and directly activated the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot in his soul to collect the magic stone ore.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming used the magic of undead and sent Lu Tuntian back to the different dimension.

After doing this, not long after, Lu Ming, along with Liu Ruyan and Yan Jin, returned to Sunset City in an unprecedented high-profile manner.

This time, he did not conceal his strength, but directly released the pressure of a strong man in the Holy Land, flying in the air, like a meteor across the sky, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

This scene shocked the residents along the way and the adventurers who had witnessed Lu Ming fighting. They widened their eyes and could not believe what they saw.

“This… How is this possible?” An old adventurer said with trembling lips, in disbelief. “A year ago, he was only at the level of a great mage, but now, he has become a powerful Saint! This speed of improvement is simply unbelievable!”

The news spread quickly in Sunset City like wildfire, causing a huge sensation.

People were whispering in the streets, speculating about Lu Ming's experiences over the past year and the stories behind his rocket-like rise in strength.

When Lu Ming and his group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the scene reached its climax.

Under the pressure of Saint-level powerhouse Lu Ming, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion fell to their knees like fallen leaves swept by autumn wind, their bodies trembling, with fear and awe written all over their faces.

They had never experienced such a strong aura, and the oppressive feeling made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

The Lord of Sunset City, who was also a golden knight, knelt down in front of Lu Ming at this moment, with a look of panic on his face, not daring to breathe.

He knew very well that facing such a strong man, any resistance would be futile and might even lead to catastrophic disaster.

"Lord Lu...Lord Lu Ming, may I ask what brings you here?" The city lord asked cautiously with a trembling voice. He did not dare to look up, for fear that his gaze would anger the powerful man who suddenly arrived.

Lu Ming looked down at the people kneeling on the ground. There was not much fluctuation in his eyes, only a faint calmness. He slowly said: "I came back to deal with some personal matters, which have nothing to do with you. But remember, from today on, everything in Sunset City must follow my rules, otherwise..."

Lu Ming didn't finish his words, but the unfinished meaning made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

They knew that from this moment on, the situation of Sunset City would undergo earth-shaking changes, and Lu Ming would become the new master of this city.

Liu Ruyan and Yan Jin stood beside Lu Ming, their expressions different.

There was a complex light in Liu Ruyan's eyes, showing both amazement at Lu Ming's sudden leap in strength and a little confusion about the future; while Yan Jin's face was full of pride and pride, as if Lu Ming's achievements were also his glory.

At this moment, the entire Sunset City seemed to be shrouded in Lu Ming's shadow, and everyone was thinking about how to survive in the new order. And Lu Ming, with an attitude of looking down on the world, announced his return and his absolute rule over Sunset City.

Lu Ming's high-profile appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread quickly. All major forces on the magical continent looked at him with awe, and countless spies, like sharks smelling blood, once again poured into Sunset City.

They were eager to verify the authenticity of this rumor and to find out what secrets were hidden behind Lu Ming's breakthrough into the Holy Land.

It was in this context that the assassin organization sent Lilith again to find Lu Ming as soon as possible.

Under the cover of night, she sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion silently like a ghost and came to Lu Ming's room.

Lilith's appearance did not cause any commotion. Her superb stealth skills made her seem to blend into the night.

"Master," Lilith's voice was soft and low. She went straight to the point and said, "The number two person in the assassin organization's headquarters wants to see you. He seems to be very interested in your identity and your continuous breakthroughs."

Lu Ming smiled calmly, his eyes flashing with cunning light: "Tell him that if he wants to see me, let him come by himself. I'm not used to running around."

Lilith heard this and a wry smile appeared on her lips.

She knew that Lu Ming's attitude was both a display of confidence and a strong statement. She replied softly, "I will convey your message to him, but I can't guarantee how he will respond."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Ming waved his hand, seemingly not caring. "Tell him that if he doesn't come, forget it. I still have a lot of things to do and won't waste time on this."

Lilith nodded. She knew that Lu Ming's decision could not be changed.

She bowed to Lu Ming, then left the room as quietly as she had come, disappearing into the night, ready to take Lu Ming's reply back.

This night was destined to be extraordinary for Sunset City.

Lu Ming's strong attitude not only made the second-in-command of the assassin organization fall into deep thought, but also made other forces that coveted Lu Ming's strength begin to re-evaluate their plans.

They realized that this young and mysterious Saint Realm warrior was far more elusive than they had imagined, and dealing with him was far more difficult than they had imagined.

Compared to others, Lu Ming seemed calm and composed.

He knew very well that truly powerful people never needed to show off; their existence itself was a deterrent.

As for those who want to test his bottom line, Lu Ming is already prepared. Whether it is negotiation or confrontation, he has enough confidence to deal with it.

In the days to come, Sunset City will become a stage for the struggle between various forces, and Lu Ming will undoubtedly be the leader of this game.

……

In the silence after Lilith quietly left, a subtle but powerful aura suddenly enveloped the area where Lu Ming was.

The Dark Council's sanctuary-level fallen creature quietly descended, and Lu Ming's consciousness locked onto the opponent in the first moment.

He was secretly alert and prepared to deal with possible conflicts at any time. However, the visitor unexpectedly chose to negotiate peacefully.

"Sir Lu Ming, we have no ill intentions." The fallen creature's voice was low and magnetic. He deliberately restrained his own breath to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Lu Ming stared at the uninvited guest in front of him. Although he was on guard, he still maintained due courtesy: "Oh? Then I wonder why you came to visit so late at night?"

The fallen creature nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "After careful consideration, the top leaders of the Dark Council realized that it is impossible for you to forcibly seize the Undead Godhead with your current strength. Therefore, we decided to abandon our previous plan and seek cooperation with you instead."

"Cooperation?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, and became curious about this sudden proposal. "Please be more specific."

"It is like this," the fallen creature continued, "The Dark Council is willing to grant you the status of a high-level core member and share power and resources. In exchange, we hope that after you have fully integrated the Undead Godhead, you can lend us a hand to jointly deal with the Church of Light and help other fallen creatures comprehend the god-level rules."

Hearing this, Lu Ming weighed the options in his mind.

He could feel the other party's sincerity, but that didn't mean he would easily change his position. Moreover, as the successor of the Demon Emperor, he would definitely become a being beyond the gods in the future, and there was no need for him to join any forces.

"Joining the Dark Council is not what I pursue. But if you are willing to keep your distance and stop interfering with me, I do not rule out the possibility of cooperation in certain areas in the future."

Upon hearing this, the fallen creature's expression changed slightly, but he did not show any obvious dissatisfaction, as if he had already predicted this result before coming.

He took a deep breath, with a hint of regret in his tone: "Sir Lu Ming, we understand your position. The Dark Council is willing to give you enough respect and time to consider. We hope that our relationship can remain in a relatively peaceful state."

Lu Ming nodded gently to show his approval: "As long as the Dark Council stops bothering me, I have no intention of deliberately targeting you. As for future cooperation, everything is possible."

As the conversation ended, the fallen creatures slowly retreated, leaving behind the tranquility of the night.

Although this negotiation did not reach a comprehensive consensus, it at least provided a little room for easing the relationship between the two sides and laid the groundwork for possible cooperation in the future. Lu Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the figure walking away, thinking about the future path and the complex and delicate balance between him and the Dark Council.
