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

Above Canglan City.

Before Xiahou Yi's last remaining eerie will-o'-the-wisp.

The empress's figure slowly emerged from the void.

now.

When he saw Xiahou Yi crying and laughing, looking like a helpless child.

Even this Purple Star Empress.

Even her usually cold and dignified, stunningly beautiful face revealed a hint of pity and reluctance.

anyway.

Xiahou Yi was, after all, once her subject, and once a member of the Purple Star.

But now...

In the end, we still ended up in this situation.

As an empress.

She naturally couldn't be indecisive or even womanly in her advice to Lu Yu to let Xiahou Yi go.

Regardless of Xiahou Yi's original intentions.

From the moment he attacked Lu Yu, and even tried to destroy the entire Abyss World.

Lu Yu and the many students present already had a life-or-death conflict with him.

"Xia Houyi."

After the Empress appeared.

Looking at the will-o'-the-wisp, he spoke softly.

She could clearly sense that Xiahou Yi's breath was weakening and thinning second by second.

His life had truly entered its final countdown.

"His Majesty."

Among the will-o'-the-wisps.

The illusory soul, its eyes filled with tears, let out a soft cry.

The ruler and his minister, Zi Xing.

They stood facing each other under the watchful eyes of countless people.

This moment.

For some reason, the atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed somewhat desolate and lonely.

"His Majesty."

finally.

Xiahou Yi was the first to speak.

He clenched his teeth, seemingly reluctant, yet also in pain, as he asked another question:

"His Majesty……"

"You really..."

"Has it become Lu Yu's contracted beast?"

Even just moments ago.

Xiahou Yi witnessed Lu Yu use the two divine skills exclusive to the Empress, but...

Deep down, he still finds it hard to accept this fact.

So.

In these final moments of my life.

He persisted, still wanting a negative answer.

but……

The Empress remained silent for a moment.

Under his almost desperate gaze, she still nodded slightly.

"Yes."

The Empress spoke softly.

This simple word, at this moment, reached Xiahou Yi's ears.

His entire being, or rather, his entire soul, seemed to have lost all its vitality.

The already flickering will-o'-the-wisp looked as if it would go out at any moment.

Xiahou Yi's eyes were filled with gloom.

Why?

After the silence.

Xiahou Yi's voice rang out again from above that ball of will-o'-the-wisp.

He knew he was about to die, and there was no turning back.

but……

In the end, what he couldn't let go of was still Her Majesty the Empress!

"His Majesty."

"Please give this guilty subject an answer so I can leave in peace, okay?"

Xiahou Yi's tone was filled with humility and pleading.

And at this moment.

It wasn't just Xiahou Yi.

The billions of viewers also felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity and doubt.

Previously.

They were all so overwhelmed by the joy of Lu Yu's contract with the Empress that they had no time to think about this issue.

And now?

After Xiahou raised this question, countless people felt a prickling sensation in their hearts, eagerly wanting to know the answer!

after all……

This is a goddess-level empress!

Did I just give it to Lu Yu without even realizing it?

It just doesn't seem to make sense no matter how you look at it...

"Why--"

between heaven and earth.

The Empress sighed.

She remained silent for a moment, her eyes lingering on Xiahou Yi for a long time before finally turning to look at Lu Yu.

"Speak."

"I'm quite curious too."

Lu Yu also spoke softly.

His words were a way of giving the Empress a way out.

after all……

The current empress is his pet beast, and that gaze just now was actually a way of asking for his consent.

"Answer……"

"It's very simple."

above the sky.

Before the will-o'-the-wisp.

The Empress sighed softly and slowly closed her eyes.

On her perfectly beautiful face, a hint of pain and struggle was revealed.

"The Purple Star has been destroyed."

"Billions of Purple Star humans have vanished without a trace."

"And the culprit behind all of this..."

"Not the final ten god-level behemoths."

"It's me, it's me..."

"It's because I'm not strong enough. I'm not capable of protecting them, not capable of protecting Zixing..."

The Empress, unusually, uttered a lengthy speech.

Her tone grew lower and lower as she spoke.

to the end.

Countless people saw it.

The empress's eyes were glistening with tears.

That is……

Tears of regret and self-reproach!

That is……

As an empress, she could only watch helplessly as countless compatriots died and as her planet was destroyed, she shed painful tears!

"No, no..."

"His Majesty!"

"You did nothing wrong, you did nothing wrong, it's not your fault, it's not your fault!"

Xiahou Yi was originally on the verge of death, almost on his last breath.

At this moment, after hearing the Empress's words...

The entire ball of will-o'-the-wisp began to shake violently.

He shouted again and again, almost as if his life depended on it.

And the Empress.

She just sighed deeply.

then.

He looked at Xiahou Yi and spoke, word by word, in an extremely serious tone:

"The moment I found myself unexpectedly traversing a spatial rift and arriving on Earth, surviving."

"I swear in my heart..."

"I want to live, I want to regain my former strength, I want to be stronger than I was before."

"I want……"

"Go to the Starry Sky Battlefield to find those god-level behemoths from back then and avenge the billions of humans on Purple Star."

"For this goal."

"I am willing to give up everything, even if it means becoming a pet, even if it means serving humans as my masters."

The Empress's voice sounded very calm.

But beneath the calm surface...

That hatred, brewing like a volcano, that unyielding belief that cannot be moved by mountains and seas, is something even the most obtuse person can feel!

"His Majesty……"

Xiahou Yi at this moment.

After hearing these words, he was completely stunned.

His extremely illusory soul was now covering his face, trembling, and sobbing uncontrollably!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

This god-level necromancer finally received the Empress's answer.

He suddenly realized...

I realized I was wrong.

I was wrong from beginning to end...

And most importantly.

Not only did he fail to help the Empress in the slightest, but he even...

Previously, they even wanted to wipe out the Empress and the entire world!

"I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"I've always been the one who's stubbornly clinging to my delusions..."

"What meaning does a phantom purple star have compared to true revenge...?"

Xiahou Yi's murmurs echoed across the sky.

And Lu Yu.

He was taken aback when he heard the Empress's words.

then.

More complex and incomprehensible emotions surfaced in his mind.

This empress...

To this day, it is still believed that the destruction of the Purple Star and the extinction of the human race were caused by those ten god-level behemoths.

But in reality...

The one that destroyed Purple Star was that terrifying celestial beast deep within the starry sky!

The culprit behind the tragedy of Zixing was not even that giant star beast.

But...

Behind that colossal star beast lies an even more terrifying mastermind!

But...

A terrifying existence that even my future self finds exhausting and lamentable!
