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

sea ​​of ​​bitterness.

Central sea area.

On the ocean, raging waves surge.

Large and small, all sorts of colors and shapes of giant beast flesh and blood fragments floated on the sea.

And in the sky.

Amidst the solitary, bald head of the enormous serpent, wisps of bluish-black mist slowly emanated.

In the mist.

A small, eight-headed serpent could be vaguely seen swimming around.

Several beams of pale golden light pierced through the depths of the black mist.

In the void.

A series of obscure and incomprehensible whispers echoed softly.

"Is this the method for communicating with other ancestral gods?"

"It looks amazing..."

in the sky.

Standing beside Lu Yu, Qin Shiyao watched this scene with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

A moment ago.

After the Orochi Ancestral God admitted defeat and "behaved," he began to cast a magic array, which resulted in the scene we see today.

Lu Yu, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled by the complexity of the Orochi Ancestral God's actions.

He originally thought—

The ancestral god Orochi only needed a thought to summon the other ancestral gods, but it turns out that such a complicated process was required.

If Cyber ​​Saint Heavenly Dragon hadn't been constantly monitoring the energy response of the Orochi Ancestral God's head and indicating that there was no abnormal threat, Lu Yu would have even suspected that the Orochi Ancestral God wasn't contacting other ancestral gods, but rather engaging in some kind of shady scheme.

Time passed slowly.

The black fog grew thicker and thicker.

The eight-headed serpent in the black mist had all turned dark gold.

Its eight pairs of eyes were shining brightly at that moment.

Each pair of eyes forms a group, each staring intently in one of the four different directions: east, south, west, and north.

"S-Sir..."

Within the black fog.

The voice of the ancestral god Orochi, still humble and low, rang out.

"Because it involves simultaneously establishing connections with the four ancestral gods..."

"The process will be a bit more complicated and will take a little longer..."

The ancestral god Orochi said these words because he was worried that Lu Yu might overthink things or even doubt him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Is communication between your ancestral gods always this difficult and troublesome?"

This statement came out.

Orochi, the ancestral god, visibly choked for a moment.

It remained silent for a long, long time before finally speaking in a low, complex voice:

"It is because my body was destroyed, my essence was damaged, and I lost most of my control over the authority of the ancestral god that I have to go through so much trouble."

"If it were at its peak, I could indeed contact them with just a thought if I fully utilized the authority of the ancestral gods."

The "them" mentioned by the ancestral god Orochi naturally refers to the other four ancestral gods.

After hearing this, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow.

He noticed a very interesting word.

"The authority of the ancestral gods?"

"What is it?"

Lu Yu suddenly asked.

This statement came out.

Qin Shiyao, standing next to her, also widened her beautiful eyes, clearly curious about the same question.

And within the black fog.

In the deepest part, unseen by either of them.

Upon hearing this question, the remaining essence of the Eight-Headed Serpent God did not panic. Instead, a triumphant smile appeared on his ugly face.

They've taken the bait!

The reason it mentioned "the authority of the ancestral gods" just now wasn't because it slipped up, but because it did so intentionally.

The purpose was to wait for Lu Yu to ask this question at this moment.

"ah--"

"The authority of the ancestral gods..."

In the black fog.

The voice of the ancestral god Orochi rang out again, seemingly tinged with a hint of panic and tension.

Lu Yu remained silent, simply waiting quietly.

He knew that this guy's current posture, including his previous one, was most likely an act.

But it doesn't matter.

The confidence of Orochi's ancestral god "armor" lies in—

It did not believe that it could deal with four ancestral god beasts at the same time.

But the reality is exactly not what it thought.

therefore.

Lu Yu was too lazy to expose the 'acting' or 'feigning ignorance' of the Orochi Ancestral God, and instead cooperated with its performance.

For Lu Yu, obtaining the information he wanted was meaningful.

really.

Seeing Lu Yu remain silent, the Orochi Ancestral God couldn't help but speak up and explain.

Its tone still carried a sense of humility and fear:

"The authority of the Ancestral God—that's the authoritative certification of the Ancestral God's status by the rules of the Abyss World!"

"Not every behemoth that breaks through to the god level can become an ancestral god."

"To become an Ancestral God, besides the requirements of cultivation level, the most important thing is to gain the recognition of the Ancestral God's authority."

"In fact, on the continent of Zhongzhou, there are many god-level behemoths with a higher realm than me, but they have not been recognized by the authority of the ancestral gods and cannot be called ancestral gods."

The words fell.

Qin Shiyao's eyes widened immediately.

"A divine beast more powerful than the Ancestral God, yet it's not an Ancestral God?"

"I thought the Twelve Ancestral Gods were the strongest behemoths in the Abyss Realm..."

Although Lu Yu's reaction wasn't as exaggerated as Qin Shiyao's, he was still slightly shocked by this information.

His previous thoughts were very similar to Qin Shiyao's.

But now it seems...

Even though he had already given much thought to the Abyss Realm, it seemed that he had still underestimated it by quite a bit.

"continue."

Lu Yu exhaled and spoke calmly.

"Yes, sir!"

The Orochi Ancestral God responded very quickly, as if he hadn't heard Qin Shiyao's previous two sighs at all. His tone didn't become more arrogant or confident; instead, he seemed even more submissive than before.

"The authority of the ancestral gods, or the key factor that enabled the ancestral god behemoth to control an entire continent!"

"Just like—"

"Before, even from countless distances, I could vaguely sense your presence in the northern seas, and the many lives lost there, so—"

At this point, the myth of Orochi's ancestor abruptly ended.

This time, however, it wasn't an act.

Rather, he almost said the wrong thing, fearing he might displease the human in front of him.

"So they sent that turtle to suppress and annihilate us, right?"

Lu Yu chuckled and continued the conversation.

The ancestral god Orochi remained silent and sullen.

"continue."

Lu Yu shook his head and uttered a sentence.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't seem angry, the Orochi Ancestral God felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly continued:

"Besides being able to sense, influence, and even control the giant beasts and creatures of their respective continents."

"The authority of the Ancestral God can also enhance the bloodline, potential, and combat power of giant beasts."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately exclaimed "Eh!"

Although he didn't speak, the Orochi Ancestral God understood his meaning.

It continued, its voice muffled and its tone incredibly complex:

"The cyber dragon's counterattack came too fast and too fiercely. I didn't even have time to use the amplification of the ancestral god's authority before I was directly..."

Lu Yu laughed immediately after hearing this.

What a convenient excuse of "not having time"!

Logically speaking, it seems that the Frost Ancestral God didn't even have time to use his authority before Caesar smashed him into mincemeat.

"No, but please rest assured, sir!"

"Although the power of the ancestral god's authority is great, it cannot be used lightly, because each ancestral god can only use the power of his authority once."

"Once activated, one will lose a large part of control over authority, and may even lose the recognition of authority, thus having the position of ancestral god usurped by other god-level behemoths."

The Orochi Ancestral God was worried that Lu Yu would not dare to send the other four Ancestral Gods along if he heard this, so he quickly added.

Lu Yu nodded after listening, but then asked another question:

"What will happen to its authority after the ancestral beast falls?"

"Disappear? Or find a new owner?"

Upon hearing this, the ancestral god Orochi remained silent for a long time.

finally.

He just uttered a quiet, "I don't know."

He genuinely didn't know the answer to that question.

It became an ancestral god because it was granted authority by the one in the Central Continent.

As for how it acquired its power and whether it would disappear after its fall, it never thought about these questions in detail, and even if it did, it would not come to any conclusions.

Aside from the one in Zhongzhou, it felt that the other ancestral gods and behemoths probably couldn't possibly know the answer either.

"Continue, anything else to add?"

Lu Yu looked at the churning black mist and waved his hand.

"Um……"

After a moment of contemplation, the ancestral god Orochi slowly spoke, his voice tinged with unease:

"Besides what I've mentioned above, the authority of the Ancestral God also has a hidden ability."

"That is—"

"It allows ancestral gods and behemoths to sense each other's life force."

At this point, the Orochi Ancestral God paused, then suddenly blurted out:

"Was it you who killed the Frost Ancestral God who fell in the Blue Star Realm?"

After listening, Lu Yu did not deny it and readily admitted it.

"good."

"What's wrong?"

The ancestral god Orochi's suspicions were confirmed. It remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"Perhaps you've thought about this question too."

"The Frost Ancestral God clearly perished in the Blue Star Realm outside the Abyss, but as an Ancestral God, I have never left the Sea of ​​Bitterness, yet I still know this clearly."

"The reason is the ability of the ancestral gods to sense each other's life force."

"It allows other holders of ancestral god authority to perceive clearly and specifically—"

"The time and location of the fall of the ancestral god beast."

Speaking of it.

The ancestral god Orochi ceased his work.

Lu Yu understood the meaning behind the words.

This is a subtle warning and threat from the ancestral god Orochi, or rather, a card it played to protect itself.

The ancestral gods have fallen, and they can sense each other's presence and know the exact time and location.

This means—

If at this moment, Lu Yu really killed the Orochi Ancestral God.

So.

The remaining ten Ancestral Gods of the Abyss Realm will all know about this instantly.

even.

It's not impossible that all those ancestral gods would arrive at the Sea of ​​Bitterness at the same time.

"Very useful information."

Lu Yu looked at the black mist and spoke meaningfully.

The Orochi Ancestral God within the black mist let out a sheepish laugh but did not respond.

"How much longer?"

Lu Yu looked at the black mist and continued to ask.

"My lord, it'll be soon!"

"Give me two more minutes, it'll be ready soon!"

Two minutes, one hundred and twenty seconds.

That is, it only takes a few surging waves of black mist.

Swah——

Swish-

next moment.

As the eyes of the dark golden eight-headed dragon in the black mist shot out dazzling light.

The magic array that the ancestral god Orochi spent a long time constructing is finally complete!

And it obediently sent the prepared message to the four ancestral gods, just as it had explained to Lu Yu beforehand...
