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

"ah--"

"Impossible, impossible!"

"This is a dream, just a fake dream, don't try to fool me!"

……

"Reality? How could it be reality!"

"A dream is just a dream; no matter how vivid it is, it can't affect reality!"

"How did you do that? How on earth did you do that?!"

……

"No, that's impossible!"

"Reality is completely rewritten by dreams, thus rendering the principles of time, space, and causality utterly ineffective!"

"Such terrifying talent is impossible even in the Void Realm. Who exactly are you?"

……

"I am the most monstrous prodigy of the Primordial Dream Deer clan in the past tens of thousands of years. I am the only clansman qualified to leave the Ruins of Return!"

"Why? Why does such a terrifying ability to create dreams exist in the world?!"

"No, that's not right. You are merely a spirit form that differentiated from my original essence. All your talents, abilities, and bloodlines originate from me!"

"What makes you think you can do all this? What makes you think you can?!"

……

"ah--"

"I don't want to die, I am a Source God!"

"I will return to the Eastern Divine Realm, and I will kill those despicable humans!"

"I……"

Within the soul space.

The screams of the remnant soul of the ancient dream deer echoed continuously.

From initial anger, to subsequent confusion, then to utter shock, and finally to the extreme pain and despair before death.

Over time.

The echoing sound grew weaker and weaker, and lower and lower.

to the end.

Within the soul space, the initial silence returned once more.

the difference is.

It's no longer a dark, gloomy place.

The giant deer sculpture in the center is fully illuminated.

The petite and adorable white-haired loli figure had somehow found herself standing between the seven-colored antlers atop the giant deer's head.

At this moment, she...

It was no longer as weak as before, with its soul power completely drained.

instead.

Her figure was frozen in time.

Even every single strand of snow-white hair was shrouded in the glow of divine power.

Her aura was no longer that of a demigod, but had reached the level of a true god at the ninth level!

Demigod, Star God, Virtual God, True God, Supreme God!

In a short period of time, Xiaomeng jumped three major realms!

The reason for this is exactly what the remnant soul of the ancient dream deer had seen in his dream.

Xiao Meng completely absorbed the primordial energy transformed from the remnant soul of the Primordial Dream Deer at the Origin God realm!

Dreams come true; dreams rewrite reality.

This seemingly bug-like talent was used by Xiaomeng for the first time.

And the result—

This signifies the complete demise and extinction of a mighty Primordial Beast at the Origin God Realm.

A demigod defying the source god?

Even across all the heavens and myriad realms, absolutely no one among the billions of living beings would dare to believe this!

But alas!

That's how it happened.

"Ugh—"

In the completely silent soul space, Xiaomeng gently exhaled.

"On what grounds?"

Her young face, adorned with nine dazzling divine markings, was now filled with seriousness.

Faced with the desperate question left behind by the remnant soul of the Ancient Dream Deer before its death, Xiao Meng spoke the answer to the void, seemingly to herself.

"because……"

"I have an owner~"

"because……"

"My master has given me all of this!"

The voice echoed in the vast and empty space of the soul.

The remnant soul of the ancient dream deer, dead beyond any doubt, would never have the chance to hear it again.

"Well……"

After Xiaomeng finished speaking, she took another deep breath.

She won, she won.

She now completely controls the giant body, the Giant Spirit God Body of the Origin God Realm.

The remnant soul of the ancient dream deer was also completely obliterated.

but……

Xiaomeng, however, could not be completely happy at this moment.

instead.

Her chubby, baby-faced features now showed a hint of sadness and reluctance.

Everything comes at a price.

Dreams come true, rewriting everything, but the price paid behind the scenes is also extremely high.

"It's been so long since I've been away from my master..."

Xiao Meng murmured, her originally bright and sparkling eyes now slightly red.

"Time is running out."

"What more can I do for my master...?"

Xiaomeng, still immersed in sadness, tried her best to cheer herself up.

then.

She closed her eyes.

The ancient dream deer sculpture beneath my feet has become even more dazzling and bright.

If you look closely, you will find it.

On the giant deer sculpture, the faint silhouette of a human boy is beginning to emerge.

"This is the last thing Xiaomeng can do for you."

"Master~"

"We must wait for Xiaomeng to come back!"

Xiao Meng's voice echoed quietly.

But her petite figure became increasingly blurry, more and more blurry.

to the end.

Like a dream, it vanished completely.

In the vast space of her soul, not a trace of her presence could be found.

……

……

Outside the soul space.

In the cold, boundless starry sky.

A giant millions of meters tall has once again risen from its silence.

It slowly bent its knees towards Lu Yu's direction.

Boom-!

The giant knelt on one knee, and the void trembled with a thunderous roar.

This moment.

Both Lu Yu and Qin Shiyao were stunned.

And then...

Qin Shiyao's voice rang out in extreme surprise.

"It's a success!"

"Lu Yu!"

"Xiao Meng did it!"

"She defeated the remnant soul of the Ancient Dream Deer and gained control of the giant's body!"

Qin Shiyao's face was full of excitement and joy.

Even though she was somewhat prepared after seeing Xiaomeng's terrifyingly exaggerated talent information, Qin Shiyao was still deeply moved and unable to control herself when she saw this scene with her own eyes.

the other side.

Unlike Qin Shiyao's excitement and surprise.

A sense of unease and heaviness welled up in Lu Yu's heart.

"Xiao Meng?"

He kept calling out in his heart, but received not a single response.

This is not normal, it's very abnormal.

click -

Kaka-

in the starry sky.

The giant, who had knelt on one knee, raised his right hand and placed it on his chest.

"Owner……!"

A slightly stiff voice came from the giant's mouth.

This scene.

This surprised Qin Shiyao even more.

But this made Lu Yu's heart sink even more.

"Xiao Meng!"

He called out in his heart again and again, but still received no response.

"cost?"

What is the price to pay for dreams coming true?

Lu Yu frowned deeply.

And the next moment.

Ding--!

A crisp, cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lu Yu's ears.

Swah——

A virtual information panel from the temple automatically appeared in front of Lu Yu.

[Temple Notice—]

[Your pet "Xiao Meng" has entered the Ruins of Return. Due to the power of the Ruins of Return, you have temporarily lost the ability to summon "Xiao Meng" and establish a mental connection with her!]

[Note: You can still share the spiritual power and innate abilities from your pet 'Xiao Meng,' but you cannot share its specific realm of strength, nor can you apply any training methods such as bestowing attributes upon it!]

[Note: You can choose to actively terminate your contract with the pet "Xiao Meng". This will free up the fourth contract slot, which can then be used to contract a new pet!]

The temple's notification came very suddenly.

The information contained in those few lines of text was completely beyond Lu Yu's expectations.

No, it was more than just unexpected.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it exceeds the limits of imagination.

"Return to the Void?"

"Did Xiaomeng enter the Ruins of Return?"

Lu Yu stared intently at the words on the panel, muttering them over and over again.

"What do you mean by 'returning to the void'?"

"Is it the Void that the remnant soul of the Ancient Dream Deer mentioned before?"

"It also said something about how it came out of there..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shiyao, who was standing next to Lu Yu, leaned closer and said.

She couldn't see the information panel in front of Lu Yu, but she could vaguely guess some things from the direction of Lu Yu's gaze and his reaction.

Lu Yu didn't reply. Instead, he used his mind to bring up Xiao Meng's information panel.

Swah——

A flash of light.

A new panel appeared next to the Temple notification panel.

Name: Xiaomeng

[Race: Illusionary Ancient Dream Deer]

[Rank: True God, Ninth Revolution]

【…】

It was only a short period of time.

But Xiaomeng's information panel underwent a complete transformation.

The race changed from "Dream Beast" to something like "Illusory Ancient Dream Deer".

His rank also jumped from demigod to the exaggerated peak of true god.

But Lu Yu had no time to care about these things at the moment; his gaze continued downwards.

【talent:……】

【Skill:……】

[Entry: ...]

The rest of the parts haven't changed much; they look the same as before.

However, each item was followed by the sentence: "Information before the Ruins are closed; for reference only."

Lu Yu continued looking down.

Finally, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

[Status: Ruins!]

Here it comes, the real key information is here!

This time, the temple stopped hiding things and instead revealed some important information that Lu Yu was extremely concerned about!

【illustrate--】

[The Void, a place beyond all the heavens and realms, is the most mysterious and vast land.]

[The Void is shrouded in special rules; once any living being steps into the Void, they are unable to contact the outside world by any means!]

The creatures within the Ruins of Return, after undergoing numerous trials, have the opportunity to leave!

[The spirits of beings who emerge from the Void have a certain probability of returning to the Void after death!]

The temple's description is very brief.

But after reading it, Lu Yu felt a little more at ease.

Returning to the void is not the same as death.

That's enough!

His only worry was that Xiaomeng would pay the price of her life and soul.

But what does it look like now?

Although it's unclear why Xiaomeng went to Guixu in such a confused state, at least it wasn't a life-threatening crisis, and in the long run, it might not be entirely a bad thing.

Perhaps, when Xiaomeng returns, or when Lu Yu enters the Void, it will be time to...

Xiao Meng has undergone a complete transformation in the Ruins of Return, and it's possible she has experienced a significant improvement...

[Have you terminated the contract with your pet, "Xiao Meng"?]

[The fourth contract slot will be freed up after the contract is terminated!]

The temple's notification sounded once again.

Lu Yu rejected the idea without even thinking.

joke!

No matter what, it's impossible to just abandon Xiaomeng like that.

Even if he might have to "lose" a pet beast that could exert its abilities for a considerable period of time in the future, Lu Yu would not do something as heartless as "killing the hunting dog after the rabbit dies".

"And what about this giant?"

After confirming that Xiaomeng was not in mortal danger but had gone to the Ruins of Return, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at the starry sky, at the colossal giant, millions of meters tall, kneeling before him, and felt a sense of curiosity.

But then...

Before Lu Yu could learn more...

boom--

Rumble—!

The vast starry sky suddenly trembled!

This moment.

It was like a natural disaster, like the end of the world.

And then Lu Yu and Qin Shiyao saw—

At the end of a cold, dark gaze.

A divine light carrying the intent of ultimate destruction tore through the starry sky and headed straight for the million-meter giant!
