High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Purple Star Abyss.

Canglan City.

now.

Loud shouts echoed throughout the city and beyond.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Her Majesty has not abandoned her people!"

"..."

Countless human spirits cried out and wailed at this moment.

Millions of people wept with joy!

Millions of people wept uncontrollably!

until...

above the sky.

The illusory image of the empress let out a low sigh.

Get up.

It's just three simple words.

It can happen after it falls.

Inside and outside Canglan City.

The shouts that had been filling the mountains and fields suddenly came to an abrupt end!

Even though these tens of millions of human spirits were still excited and trembling, they managed to suppress their emotions and did not utter a single sound!

hum-

The center of Canglan City.

Qin Shiyao reached out and pointed at the air in front of her again.

wow——

above the sky.

The violet mark transformed into countless points of light and slowly dissipated.

"You should get up too."

The Empress looked at the Lord of the Undead City, who was still kneeling with his head bowed before her, and sighed softly.

The words fell.

Finally, the lord of the undead city managed to stand up from the ground, his body reduced to nothing more than a skeleton.

only.

Even after he stood up, he still hunched over in front of the Empress, like a servant!

Even though he was a demigod-level powerhouse in his previous life, his current undead state is still at the peak of the Saint level.

but……

Before the Empress, he was merely the city lord of Canglan City!

"His Majesty……"

"You're still alive!"

After the Lord of the Undead City got up, he finally couldn't hold back and let out a shout.

This statement came out.

Empress Zixing fell into a long silence.

A very long time passed.

She let out a soft sigh:

"What's the point of me being alive?"

"The Holy City has been destroyed."

"The Purple Star has also been destroyed."

"Even you..."

"Now they too have become spirits, endlessly reincarnated in this curse, enduring despair and torment."

"I……"

"What right do you have to call him Your Majesty?"

The voice just fell.

The Lord of the Undead City hurriedly shouted:

"No, no, no!"

"Your Majesty, it's not your fault!"

"His Majesty will not abandon any of his subjects; the billions of people on Purple Star deeply understand this!"

"It is my incompetence that I failed to complete the orders you gave me; I couldn't even defend Canglan City!"

"Otherwise, I could also go to the Holy City to assist Your Majesty—"

Before the Lord of the Undead City could finish speaking, the Empress waved her hand, interrupting him:

"What's done is done, there's no point in saying anything more."

"But how did your Canglan City fall into such a state?"

"What exactly is going on with this abyss and the undead?"

"in addition……"

"How did you learn of the destruction of the Holy City and Purple Star?"

The Empress finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Undead City fell silent.

A good long time passed.

He then raised his head and looked at the city in ruins before him.

He spoke in a low, somber tone:

"Back then..."

"Countless abyssal disturbances erupted on Purple Star, and Canglan City was besieged by countless giant beasts."

"Although I tried my best, in the end, I still couldn't stop those demigod-level behemoths."

"When Canglan City fell, tens of millions of human beings were slaughtered."

"I was killed by the giant beast, filled with endless hatred."

"Can……"

"A year ago, for some reason, I found myself alive again."

"And it wasn't just me; tens of millions of people in Canglan City also came back to life."

"Then, just like before, the behemoths attacked the city."

"Just like before, Canglan City fought back fiercely."

"The difference is that this time no demigod-level behemoths have descended; the strongest undead behemoth is only at the Saint-level."

"But similarly, my realm also fell from demigod to the peak of saint level."

"Faced with the siege of several Saint-level behemoths, I tried my best, but still perished with resentment."

"Then……"

"I'm alive again."

"The tens of millions of people in Canglan City have all come back to life."

"From that moment on, I finally understood that we had all become spirits, spirits that could be resurrected even after death!"

"But I also discovered that, apart from me, the other humans in Canglan City seem to be unaware of this matter."

"They still believe they are not dead, that they are fighting to protect Canglan City..."

Speaking of it.

The Lord of the Undead City fell silent.

His skeletal face revealed intense pain and struggle.

"I know very well..."

"This is a cycle of reincarnation, a curse of the dead."

"but……"

"But I can't tell them this cruel truth!"

"And so it is."

"We fought for Canglan City time and time again, died time and time again, and were resurrected to start over."

"now……"

"This is the seventh cycle."

Upon hearing this...

The Empress fell silent.

Lu Yu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask:

"Since you know it's a cycle of reincarnation, why keep repeating it instead of just giving up on Canglan City?"

This statement came out.

The skeleton body of the Lord of the Undead City trembled instantly!

His skeletal face revealed a heart-touching determination and stubbornness!

"No, no!"

"I am here by order of the Empress to guard Canglan City!"

"Even if I die, even if I fail, I will never give up on Canglan City!"

Even if...

"This is truly a painful torment and a cycle of suffering for tens of millions of people!"

"but……"

"I would rather betray the millions of people of Canglan City than fail Her Majesty the Empress's original orders and trust!"

talking.

A hint of determination flickered across the skeletal face of the Lord of the Undead City.

He then added:

"in addition--"

"Compared to the despair of the curse of reincarnation, I find the despair of the fall of Canglan City even more unbearable!"

"Perhaps after countless reincarnations, I will finally be able to stop those Saint-level behemoths and protect Canglan City!"

The words fell.

This moment.

Whether it was Lu Yu, the Empress, or the nearly ten thousand examinees in the distance, they all fell silent once again, unable to speak for a long time.

A good long time passed.

The Empress spoke softly again:

"How did you learn of the destruction of the Holy City and Purple Star?"

This statement came out.

The Lord of the Undead City was startled.

Followed by.

His face revealed deep resentment and dissatisfaction!

"Xia Houyi!"

He practically spat out those three words through gritted teeth!

And the moment the words fell.

Even the Empress was slightly taken aback.

Xia Houyi!

This is……

The name of that young necromancer from Zixing!
