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

hum-

After the empress was shrouded in dark light.

I felt a blur in the scene before my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again.

What came into view was a completely different world.

This is……

A world filled with darkness!

The sky was pitch black, and so was the earth.

And in the very center of this land.

There sits an enormous, pitch-black platform!

On the platform.

Two figures stood facing each other from a distance.

One of them was Xiahou Yi.

The other path led to Lu Yu, who had vanished without a trace.

only……

At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to have undergone a tremendous change.

His entire figure became much more ethereal.

"His Majesty!"

"You've arrived!"

And just after the Empress appeared.

On the pitch-black platform.

Xiahou Yi quickly turned his head to look.

even……

He maintained the utmost respect, speaking with reverence and adopting a humble demeanor.

And the Empress...

She glanced at him briefly before looking away and turning her attention to Lu Yu with concern.

This action was noticed by Xiahou.

The smile on his pale face froze once again.

"His Majesty!"

He screamed.

"Why would you rather support an outsider than me?"

The words fell.

This time.

The one who answered him was not the Empress, but Lu Yu.

"Because what is fake will always be fake."

"Your plan is meaningless; it's just self-deception."

On the platform.

Lu Yu looked at Xiahou Yi and spoke calmly.

This statement came out.

The ferocity on Xiahou's face intensified!

"you!"

"It's you!"

"It's all because of you!"

"It is His Majesty who has been bewitched!"

"so……"

"I will kill you here, right here in front of His Majesty!"

talking.

A black staff appeared out of thin air in Xiahou Yi's hand.

He swung it down forcefully.

then.

hum-

buzz-

The dark platform on the ground trembled violently.

A series of dark lights completely enveloped the platform.

Roar--

roar-

at the same time.

From all directions around Lu Yu came a series of chilling roars.

"Outsiders—"

"You should feel honored!"

"This is my divine skill, a divine skill I've never used before!"

"Even His Majesty doesn't know the specifics of my divine skill!"

Xiahou Yi's emotions remained extremely unstable.

He shouted, his voice hysterical.

"Now, I'll tell you!"

"This is--"

"The Undead Arena!"

"A necromantic arena existing independently within the dimensional void!"

"On this stage, only by defeating me can you survive!"

Xiahou spoke very loudly.

And Lu Yu.

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"this one?"

He blurted out a sentence.

This statement came out.

Xiahou Yi's eyes widened.

Those two short words caused immense harm to this necromancer!

Yes!

His divine skill was indeed very weak compared to other god-level powerhouses, and could even be described as useless!

but……

That's in comparison to god-level powerhouses, and to Her Majesty the Empress!

And Lu Yu?

A mere beast tamer, who was lucky enough to contract two Saint-level behemoths, actually dared to mock his divine skills as trash!

"you……"

"Damn it!"

Xiahou Yi shouted.

then.

He seemed afraid that Lu Yu would say something that would provoke him again.

He simply started shouting and talking to himself all at once:

"Any life, any living being, regardless of its past state..."

"Once you step onto the necromancer's arena, you will all become undead!"

"Haven't you noticed?"

"You no longer have a physical body; you are now a spirit, a dead spirit!"

As Xiahou Yi spoke, he waved the staff in his hand.

whoosh-

A beam of dark light shot out from the staff.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, disappearing into Lu Yu's body.

"Hahaha--"

"How does it feel?"

"You feel stronger now, don't you?"

Xiahou Yi laughed loudly to himself, and then waved his staff again.

whoosh-

Then, bursts of black light surged from Lu Yu's body.

Just for a moment.

Lu Yu's figure became incredibly ethereal, as if he were about to vanish completely from the world at any moment.

"And now?"

"You're very weak, aren't you?"

"Hahaha--"

"I am a necromancer, I am the god of the dead!"

"I command all the dead!"

"No matter how much strength or skill you once possessed, from the moment you stepped onto this undead arena, you could never defeat me again!"

"No one understands the dead better than me!"

"And no one can defeat me in my undead form!"

Xiahou Yi's words were exaggerated and eccentric.

but……

have to say.

The information revealed in it startled even the Empress.

Undead Arena!

Any opponent will be reduced to a ghost!

Xiahou Yi is a necromancer!

This was an absolutely unfair duel, one that had no chance of being won!

Even opponents of the same level as Xiahou would be extremely difficult to deal with, let alone Lu Yu, who is not even a King-level opponent!

but……

Just as the Empress was feeling worried about Lu Yu.

On the arena.

Lu Yu's elusive, ghostly figure suddenly spoke:

"Since you can control me in my undead state..."

"Then why not just eliminate them outright?"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou paused in his speech.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yu immediately smiled.

"No way?"

"On this stage, you can't just eliminate your opponent outright, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou's pale face revealed a dangerous glint.

"Are you provoking me?"

Done.

He waved his staff once more.

A burst of dark light surged forth from Lu Yu's body once again.

His figure grew even dimmer, and his breath became even weaker.

"Even if we can't completely eliminate you, so what?"

"You, a spirit of the dead, how can you fight me?"

"Relying on your pet beast?"

"Hahaha--"

"You can try to summon those pet beasts?"

Xiahou Yi seemed to have regained his confidence and burst into wild laughter.

Lu Yu, however, remained calm.

In the Undead Arena, or rather, within this dimensional world, it is impossible to summon pets.

He tried it from the very beginning.

but……

Who says his abilities only come from his pets?

"you say……"

Are all undead afraid of lightning?

Lu Yu looked at Xiahou Yi, who was laughing maniacally, and suddenly blurted out a sentence.

This statement came out.

Xiahou stopped laughing and looked at him with a mocking gaze.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

"Right now, you're just a spirit, a spirit I can manipulate at will!"

Lu Yu ignored him, simply shaking his head and saying:

"They must be afraid."

"Coincidentally..."

"I happen to have a Thunder Dragon pet."

The words fell.

Xiahou's expression of sarcasm deepened.

"Then why don't you summon it!"

Lu Yu shook his head.

He looked at Xiahou Yi, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

Why do you feel...?

"Do I need to summon pets to have combat power?"

talking.

next moment.

On the Undead Arena.

boom--

Boom! Boom!

A series of earth-shattering thunderbolts suddenly exploded!

The dazzling lightning illuminated Xiahou Yi's pale face, making it shine very brightly...
