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

"Jinling Temple".

At the end of the central avenue in Jinling City.

Lu Yu stopped in front of an irregularly shaped, mystical building.

He slowly opened his mouth and uttered the name.

The battle had ended, and half a day had passed.

Many trivial matters followed the war, including the reconstruction and expansion of Nanjing.

Lu Yu entrusted the management to Jiang Zhenmin and others.

as well as--

He also informed him of the plan to continue eradicating the remaining Dark Star forces in Jiang Province and even throughout China.

"..."

"In the battle of Jinling City, all of the Dark Star Clan's top combat forces left on Blue Star participated in the war and perished."

"The remaining Dark Star Clan should no longer have any god-level powerhouses."

"Even if there are still some Dark Star demigods active on Blue Star, their cultivation level won't be very high. You should be able to deal with them without me having to lift a finger."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Jiang Zhenmin and the others, especially the five demigods including Zhuo Xu from the Xuanlong Army, were extremely excited and thrilled.

"Don't worry, Lord Lu Yu!"

"We will gather the strength of humanity as quickly as possible to wipe out the remnants of the Dark Star and restore a bright and clear sky to the Chinese people!"

Besides.

Lu Yu also gave them an equally important task—

"If possible, try to find out the location of the Dark Star Clan's lair."

"I suspect they are hiding in some deep abyss world."

"If we can find that world, we can strike at its heart and completely wipe out the Dark Star Clan to eliminate any future troubles."

of course.

That's what they said, but Lu Yu didn't have much hope for it.

In contrast.

Getting this information from the temple might be more practical.

"I hope you can surprise me."

Lu Yu looked up and glanced at the magnificent building once more.

Then, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took a step.

hum-

buzz-

next moment.

The void trembled.

Lu Yu's figure disappeared from the spot.

And around the temple.

Countless humans, gathered together at some unknown time, are still silently bowing and even kneeling in this direction.

Half a day ago.

Lu Yu once again performed a "miracle," purifying and resurrecting the fifty million Blue Star humans who had been possessed by the Dark Star's soul.

His prestige among humans and his status as a leader of the faith were beyond dispute.

Inside and outside Jinling City.

Nearly 100 million humans now revere this young beast tamer!

……

……

Welcome!

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

This time.

There is no endless starry sky.

Inside the grand and spacious hall, the cold, mechanical notification sounds echoed.

Lu Yu stopped and looked around at his surroundings.

"It looks like..."

"Is the layout exactly the same as the interior of the Feather City Temple?"

"If there's any difference, it's probably that the area is a little larger."

Lu Yu murmured, drawing a conclusion.

[Respected Beast Tamer Lu Yu!]

What can the temple do to help you?

The mechanical beeping sounded again.

This pre-programmed dialogue made Lu Yu raise an eyebrow slightly.

He had always found this "temple" very strange.

Sometimes it seems to have its own "ideas," but more often it's like a rigid AI program.

"Search information."

Lu Yu didn't hesitate for long before speaking directly about the purpose of his trip.

"Search for the exact location of the Dark Star Clan's High Priest!"

Lu Yu didn't say it was Dark Star's lair because he felt that such information would definitely require higher access permissions and come at a higher price.

In contrast.

The location of the High Priest is most likely the location of Dark Star's lair.

hum-

Inside the main hall.

The rules of the temple trembled for a moment.

A swift and merciless reply followed—

[Searching...]

[Information compiled!]

[Insufficient permissions to view!]

Lu Yu was not surprised by this answer.

But his expression didn't change either.

This time.

He came prepared.

What specific level of access is required?

Lu Yu looked up at the sky above the main hall and asked a question.

This information requires a specific level of access.

[God-level!]

"Star God?"

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as he had never seen this term before.

And this time...

The temple, however, was much more 'clever,' and before Lu Yu could ask further, it gave a detailed explanation—

[Star Gods are deities of the stars.]

[In the system of divine realms across the myriad worlds, the initial and most fundamental rank is the highest rank that living beings can reach under the rules of a planet!]

Upon seeing these words, Lu Yu's eyes widened slightly.

He understood what that meant.

Star God, isn't that what Lu Yu now understands as "god-level"?

"The lowest rank in the Divine Realm system?"

Lu Yu repeated the sentence, feeling a little strange, but he had to admit that it was very reasonable.

"What rank is above the Star God?"

"Which level within the divine realm system is a Celestial God?"

Lu Yu spoke up and asked a couple more questions.

hum-

buzz-

And this time...

The temple rules were shaken for a long time.

Instead of being "clever" again, he coldly replied:

[Insufficient permissions to view!]

Please upgrade your privileges to Star God level and try again!

Hearing this mechanical, programmed answer, Lu Yu shook his head.

He temporarily set aside these distant questions and returned to his original purpose for coming here.

"so--"

"At the God-level, or rather, Star God-level, one can unlock information related to the Dark Star High Priest, right?"

As Lu Yu finished speaking...

The temple quickly responded:

【Yes! 】

[Your current permission level has been detected as—]

[King-level!]

Please upgrade your privilege level and try again!

The mechanical beeping sounded.

Instead of being discouraged, Lu Yu's handsome face broke into an even more confident smile.

"Try again after you've upgraded your rank, right?"

"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear..."

talking.

Lu Yu, who was inside the temple hall, suddenly stretched out his hand.

hum-

buzz-

Fingertips danced rapidly.

Summoning circle appears, amplification circle is formed!

"Meow~?"

"Roar—!"

"Master~!"

"My lord!"

"..."

One sound after another rang out.

Inside the magnificent hall, the figures of one colossal beast after another appeared.

Quesanti, Caesar, Nine-Turn Holy Heavenly Dragon, Xiao Meng, Black and White Familiars...

Even the sleeping empress appeared as an incredibly illusory figure, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

hum-

buzz-

Faced with this sudden change, the Temple Rules were clearly somewhat stunned.

The power of the rules kept vibrating, but for a moment, no one knew what to do.

And Lu Yu.

Then a strange smile appeared on his face.

especially.

Upon seeing the sleeping empress, whose illusory yet still existent image was projected, the corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile.

"Activate your talent—"

"Increase!"

"Activate your talent—"

"Return to One!"

As the soft shout subsided.

wow——

slam-la-

The enormous beasts, some tens of thousands of meters tall and others even millions of meters tall, within the magnificent hall transformed into golden specks of light and surged into Lu Yu's body!

Lu Yu's cultivation level also rose rapidly, like a rocket!

King-level, Venerable-level, Saint-level, Demigod-level...

It only took a few breaths.

Lu Yu's cultivation level jumped directly from the King level to the peak of the Demigod level!

and this.

It's Lu Yu's "Preparation"!

The "Return to One" talent, which had not been used in the previous battle of Jinling, was now being unleashed by Lu Yu!

And what is Lu Yu's purpose?

I wanted to try and see if I could exploit a bug related to the Temple's access permissions.

if it is possible.

For Lu Yu, many things suddenly became much simpler!

For example, the whereabouts of the God of War, and the Dark Star's lair.

All the mysteries that had been blocking Lu Yu's view like a fog could now be explained!

boom--!

Inside the main hall.

Divine power surged.

As the illusory figure of the empress turned into specks of light, it entered Lu Yu's body.

click -

In the void.

It sounded as if a crisp cracking sound had been heard.

And after that sound...

Lu Yu's aura has truly broken through to a completely new level!

God-level!

Or, to use the temple's terminology, Star God level!

Despite.

At this moment, Lu Yu has not even shown or broken a single shackle on his body.

But alas!

With his bug-like amplification and Unification talent, his realm truly reached the god-level.

hum-

buzz-

From the moment Lu Yu began to act.

The tremors of the temple's rules never ceased.

In the shadows.

Lu Yu could even hear a few buzzing noises, like faulty radio waves.

It looks like...

This temple may be mysterious, but it is also powerful.

But they weren't exactly clever or quick-witted either.

Just like now.

If the Temple had a CPU, it would probably be practically smoking by now, thanks to Lu Yu's bizarre maneuver...

【Ding--】

[Privilege level upgraded!]

【warn! 】

[Logic anomaly detected, verification and correction in progress...]

【Ding--】

[Correction complete, permission level effective!]

【Ding--】

[Privilege level upgraded again!]

【…】

【…】

Inside the magnificent hall.

The temple's mechanical prompts sounded like a schizophrenic patient performing a battle between the left and right hemispheres of their brains.

And a long time passed.

at last.

【bite--!】

A crisp, clear notification sound rang out.

The Temple Rules gave a final judgment on Lu Yu's situation.

[Privilege escalation effective!]

[Current Permissions]

[God-level!]

[Information regarding the location of the Dark Star High Priest has been compiled!]

[Current permissions meet the requirements!]

However, unlocking this information requires a certain amount of energy resources in exchange!

Inside the main hall.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yu's face broke into an incredibly bright smile.

Who would have thought.

My weird trick of exploiting a bug actually worked!

"What level and quantity of energy source is required?"

Lu Yu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and then asked.

Just one second.

The temple gave a direct answer—

[1/4 of a Star God-level behemoth core, or equivalent energy resources!]
