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

thump—

dong dong——

In the silent yet dazzling endless starry sky.

The resounding tones of bells rang out from all directions, crossing the eardrums and reaching the soul.

"This is……"

Lu Yu stood in the starry sky, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He had heard the bell many times before, so it was not unfamiliar to him.

In a sense.

It is the concrete manifestation of the power of rules.

The core abyss was like this in the past, and so is the temple starry sky today.

"so……"

"Is the power of the Temple's rules about to take action?"

Lu Yu looked around and murmured softly.

The power of the Temple's rules is a power even greater than the rules of the world, or even the rules of the starry sky.

From the few words exchanged between the "Calamity God" and his own "future self," we can know that—

Temples are not unique to Earth, but are found throughout the myriad worlds.

The power of the Temple's rules is absolutely one of the most supreme powers!

A god-level behemoth as powerful as the blue planet.

From the abyss until now.

Yet, not a single one has ever dared to cross the boundaries of such power.

thump—

dong dong——

As Lu Yu listened to the resounding bell, he silently counted in his mind.

until—

The ninth bell tolled.

The endless starry sky returned to silence once more.

But this silence did not last long.

soon.

A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar mechanical voice, audible only to Lu Yu, suddenly rang in his ears.

Welcome!

A simple three-word title.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lu Yu could detect a complex emotion in his voice.

Like a sense of relief?

Or perhaps it's fear?

Closeness and hostility coexist, like fire and ice merging.

"Isn't the temple an inanimate object?"

"Does it have emotions too?"

This moment.

Lu Yu couldn't help but think to himself.

But his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the subsequent mechanical sound—

[Lu Yu, the only supreme beast tamer in all the heavens and myriad realms!]

This sentence.

It connects with the previous phrase, "Welcome."

But the same applies.

This extremely strange-sounding title, the so-called "the only beast tamer in all the heavens and myriad realms," added even more to Lu Yu's peculiar feelings.

only.

He didn't have time to think about these things in detail.

Because after the temple's "warm" greeting.

The real highlight has finally arrived—

[This is your first time entering the temple!]

Like any other living being, the Temple has prepared a small gift for you!

These two sentences sound quite standard and nothing strange.

The emotion in the mechanical voice seemed to have suddenly vanished.

This left Lu Yu somewhat dazed, even wondering if he had been too narcissistic and overthinking things before.

But the next moment.

The originally cold, mechanical notification tone began to... fluctuate intermittently.

At first glance...

It even gives you the feeling of an old radio constantly emitting static!

Lu... Yu...

【……Gift……】

[Detection...Execution...Elimination...]

[Program...aborted...]

【…】

From this electric-like noise.

Lu Yu tried hard to make out a few scattered characters.

only.

The preceding and following statements are so disjointed that it is still difficult to connect them and understand their meaning.

Lu Yu just felt—

This temple seems to have suddenly developed a split personality.

Two personalities, one righteous and one evil, are constantly arguing and even fighting with each other.

hum-

buzz-

The noise didn't last long.

soon.

With a tremor in the void.

The temple's mechanical, cold voice finally returned to normal.

"Has the battle been decided?"

Lu Yu thought to himself.

And then...

The mechanical voice continued to ring out—

[Respected Beast Tamer Lu Yu!]

Your gift has been sent, please check!

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He lowered his head.

I looked at my empty hands.

I looked around at the desolate starry sky.

No.

There was nothing there.

I waited for quite a while.

Nothing changed; Lu Yu didn't see a single hair of the so-called gift.

"Is it a bug?"

"Are you still targeting me, Lu, here?"

Lu Yu was a little annoyed, so he looked up and muttered a couple of complaints.

What's strange is that...

The moment Lu Yu finished speaking.

boom--

Boom! Boom!

The void, no, the entire endless starry sky, trembled!

The stars in the sky, including the blue planet, all seemed like marbles, constantly swaying.

"this……"

Lu Yu's expression also became solemn and serious.

He squinted, his dark golden eyes fixed intently...

Stare into the deepest part of the starry sky!

Lu Yu could sense that the source of the sudden "Starry Sky Riot" was there.

"What is it?"

"My so-called gift?"

Lu Yu's mind raced with thoughts.

boom--

Boom! Boom!

The entire starry sky, or rather, the 104396 star field, was constantly vibrating.

And in the deepest, most intimate place.

The location of the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

And finally, things have changed!

whoosh-

Whizzing--

Lu Yu felt as if the surrounding spacetime was being forcibly accelerated by some extremely terrifying force.

The planets that were originally drifting slowly are now moving at many times the speed.

The thick and dazzling nebula dust spread rapidly, like drops of ink.

Lu Yu stood in the starry sky, quietly and attentively observing all these changes.

until—

Boom-!

dong dong——!

Throughout the entire star system.

Then... the sound of drums began!

Yes.

It wasn't the booming sound of bells as before, but rather the resounding and enthusiastic beating of drums!

At first glance...

It's as if it's urging, urging all living beings in this star field to step onto a certain battlefield!

Swah——

Swish-

And then...

Lu Yu then saw streaks of light flashing from one planet after another across this star field.

Those figures included both humans and giant beasts.

Overall, behemoths made up the vast majority.

The similarities are as follows.

Without exception, the aura of these figures was that of true gods!

Lu Yu's gaze.

They searched among these figures.

Finally, at some point, it stopped.

He saw... Lu Yu.

Or.

My future self.

Interestingly.

Like other living beings, Lu Yu, who had stepped into the starry sky, was standing still, looking up in this direction.

Lu Yu can see Lu Yu.

Lu Yu, however, could not see Lu Yu.

This is a moment that transcends time and space, a gaze meeting.

"Am I the only one?"

"No Martial God?"

Looking at the solitary figure, Lu Yu suddenly realized something and felt a slight tremor in his heart.

only.

He didn't have time to think about it at that moment.

whoosh-

Whizzing--

The spacetime in this star field was accelerated once again.

No, it's not just about acceleration.

Instead, it has undergone special "treatment".

Whether it was their future selves or the other god-like humans and behemoths, they all vanished without a trace.

Only—

At the edge of the starry sky, the ancient road leading to heaven shines even brighter.

then.

Lu Yu then discovered...

It moved on its own!

It's like a moving camera lens, swiftly traversing the starry sky.

It was just a fleeting moment.

They broke through a certain barrier and directly embarked on this ancient starry road!

Lu Yu didn't even have time to observe carefully.

whoosh-

Whizzing--

The journey resumed, and the screen flickered continuously.

When the scene before him became clear again, Lu Yu realized that he was in...

The end of the ancient road under the stars!

Yes.

Looking back, Lu Yu could see the ancient, dazzling road stretching towards the starry sky, its length and breadth unknown.

Looking ahead...

Before me stood a door.

A towering, smooth, white jade-like gate, imprinted with countless rune marks.

It is worth mentioning that.

The door is open right now!

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yu became increasingly confused.

He still didn't understand what the temple's "gift" was.

A glimpse into the future?

Let yourself see what the future holds?

Whoosh-!

Lu Yu's thoughts raced.

Finding itself out of control again, it "flew" away.

This flight passed directly through the white jade gate, and the scene before Lu Yu's eyes underwent another earth-shattering change.

The one that comes into view right in the center.

It was a huge, multicolored ball of light.

The ball of light surged and writhed in waves, as if it were alive.

call--

This moment.

Almost instinctively, Lu Yu took a deep, long breath.

Then he discovered—

Within his body, the power of beast taming was visibly increasing!

"what?"

Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

This effect.

It's practically comparable to the supernatural tales about "taking a breath of celestial air"!

Thinking of this.

Lu Yu disregarded his image and posture, only wanting to take deep, heavy breaths.

But it's a pity.

whoosh-

Time and spacetime were accelerated once again.

Then Lu Yu saw—

The ball of light was wriggling faster and faster.

But the surrounding starry sky grew dimmer and dimmer.

to the end.

Each sun seemed to have gone out, losing its light.

The surrounding starry sky entered the eternal silence of night.

But within that ball of light, a...

The breath of life!

"this……"

Lu Yu was stunned by what he saw.

In his mind.

I couldn't help but recall the scenes from the dimensional void world.

at that time.

The Calamity Clan wiped out planets and fed them with black and white giant eggs.

How similar it is to the scene before my eyes?

the difference is.

The life nurtured within this ball of light does not feed on dozens or hundreds of planets, but rather seeks to drain the entire starry sky and plunder the energy of the entire 104396 star field!

Good guy!

Lu Yu exclaimed, "Wow!"

He originally thought that the birth of the black and white giant egg was already quite extraordinary.

I didn't expect there to be such an expert?

whoosh-

Whizzing--

Time and spacetime accelerated again.

The images kept changing.

Lu Yu was already used to it, so he wasn't surprised and simply looked at it carefully.

He began to pay close attention to the fleeting images, like frames from a slideshow, that flashed by in an instant.

Then Lu Yu saw—

Those whose bodies are engulfed in heavenly fire can annihilate stars with a mere wave of their hand.

There were colossal beasts, like stars, roaring as they annihilated their opponents.

……

Scene after scene.

The images are fragmented and scattered.

But one can vaguely discern that it appears to be an extremely chaotic and intense...battlefield?

"A battlefield in the stars?"

The name subconsciously popped into Lu Yu's mind.

The old man Yan from 120,000 years ago told me this.

woo-

Waaah—

Suddenly.

All the images were frozen in time.

In the starry sky, on the battlefield, in Lu Yu's ear.

A very tender baby's cry rang out!

Swah——

This moment.

Lu Yu suddenly came to his senses and looked at the location where the seven-colored light had been.

And there.

The ball of light had disappeared without anyone noticing.

Instead.

It is a...

A giant baby!

It's huge!

Lu Yu even felt that Blue Star was no bigger than a toenail in front of Him!

But then...

When Lu Yu saw the tiny, almost invisible figure in front of the gigantic baby, his pupils contracted slightly.

That is……

Lu Yu!

boom--!

Boom! Boom!

A loud bang suddenly rang out.

Lu Yu felt a splitting headache.

The surrounding time, space, and scene.

Following the traces of the way we came, we continuously traced back!

until...

He stood once again in the vast and desolate starry sky.

ear.

The utterly mechanical, cold notification tone still echoed—

[Respected Beast Tamer Lu Yu!]

Your gift has been sent, please check!

A scene that is all too familiar.

If Lu Yu hadn't still had a headache and his memories weren't still so clear, he probably would have thought that everything that had just happened was just his imagination and hallucination.

hum-

buzz-

Just as Lu Yu was lost in thought, pondering the meaning of the last scene he had witnessed,

The void trembled, and a burst of light appeared.

pat--!

A palm-sized, multicolored key landed in Lu Yu's hand.

"This is……"

"A real gift?"

Lu Yu looked surprised.

He looked down, about to examine the key more closely.

whoosh-

The key transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into his palm.

"Um?"

Lu Yu was slightly startled and quickly began to examine his own body.

No matter how hard he tried to sense it, the key was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, impossible to find.

"perhaps……"

"Is it the key to open the door at the end of the ancient road?"

Lu Yu pondered silently in his heart.

at the same time.

There was also a hint of anticipation and excitement.

There is no other reason.

Following the Black and White Giant Egg, Lu Yu's vision for contracted pets has improved dramatically.

He originally thought—

For a considerable period of time to come, I may not have any contractual targets that truly interest me.

Unexpectedly, the temple actually brought me some anticipation and surprise.

"That creature..."

"We're destined to be in the same contract slot!"

Lu Yu muttered to himself.

The words fell.

boom--

Boom boom—

The surrounding starry sky began to shatter and dissipate like bubbles.

Lu Yu had lost count of how many times he had experienced a moment of disorientation.

He had become so skilled that he could calmly close his eyes slightly and wait for the new scene to unfold.

This time.

The daze didn't last long.

Lu Yu opened his eyes.

As expected, the scene before us changed once again.

What comes into view.

It is an incomparably magnificent hall.

This is……

The actual interior of the temple as described in textbooks!

Before Lu Yu could observe carefully and in large quantities...

Ding--

A crisp, yet cold, mechanical notification sound suddenly rang out throughout the entire hall.

[You have officially entered the temple!]

[Prerequisites for advancing to the Supreme level have been unlocked!]

[View now?]
