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

The seclusion room.

On a spacious two-meter-wide bed.

As Nangong Yu listened to Lu Yu's questioning, a hint of reminiscence once again appeared on his face.

She remembered all the things she had said to Lu Yu before.

And this moment.

She didn't intend to hide it.

Or.

Her purpose in coming here was to tell Lu Yu everything she knew.

Now, Lu Yu is qualified and capable of knowing and tracing back to the past.

"well--"

The first sound was a soft sigh from Nangong Yu.

then.

She seemed to have gathered her thoughts and continued her story:

That was twenty-one years ago.

"If you think about it, it should be the year you were born."

"A mysterious and special abyss has appeared on Earth."

"According to the temple, there are special treasures in that abyss that can greatly enhance potential and strength."

"At that time, almost all the demigods of the human race, and even some saint-level ancestors, entered it for that treasure."

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he vaguely had a guess.

"What did they... my parents do in that abyss?"

This statement came out.

Nangong Yu let out another soft sigh.

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

She paused for a moment and then said truthfully:

"That is to say..."

"We killed about ten demigods and a few dozen saints."

Lu Yu: "Seize the young master?"

What a convenient excuse: "Actually, I didn't do anything."

"How many demigods did the human race have back then?"

Lu Yu's lips twitched, and he asked.

"Well……"

"Including the Martial Gods and the Dark Court sequence, there are probably around thirty of them."

Nangong Yu answered.

"Thirty demigods, killed ten or so, and you call that doing nothing..."

Lu Yu was speechless at this moment.

Nangong Yu pursed his lips and snorted:

"If you ask me..."

"That wasn't something my older brother and sister did on their own initiative; it was entirely self-defense."

"Who told those demigods to be so foolish as to plot an ambush and kill them?"

"What's wrong with being killed instead of surrounded?"

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"oh……"

"That's alright then!"

In principle, humans should avoid killing each other.

But as the principle states, I will not offend others unless they offend me.

Since it wasn't a proactive move, Lu Yu felt that it made perfect sense.

What?

You said those people didn't deserve to die.

Hehe——

Apocalyptic disasters don't need sanctimonious hypocrites!

"so……"

"Because of this incident, the Dark Court, or rather the higher-ups of the human race, later had a very negative opinion of them?"

Lu Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked.

Nangong Yu nodded, then shook his head after a while.

Yes and no.

"Those demigods in the Dark Court already harbored a deep-seated hostility towards your parents."

"It's even possible that the ambush and killing of your parents by that group of foreign demigods was orchestrated by the Prophet and his people behind the scenes."

"And the massacre that occurred in the abyss did indeed become the tool and weapon used by the prophet to make things difficult for your parents."

"Because of that incident, your parents' original status was voted out."

"even--"

"The Prophet and others have even labeled your parents as traitors to humanity and issued a kill warrant among the human leadership!"

Speaking of it.

Nangong Yu's face was also full of anger and indignation.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yu spoke softly:

"This is an open conspiracy."

"Whether my parents are killed or they fight back, the demigods who orchestrated this ambush by the prophet or the high priest will end up the same way."

Nangong Yu let out a few heavy breaths.

She had, of course, thought this through long ago.

And it is precisely because I have figured it out that I am even more furious.

"and then?"

"Where did they go after that abyss?"

Lu Yu continued to ask.

Nangong Yu answered quickly.

"Disappeared."

"After that trip to the abyss, no one has seen them again."

"Later, rumors circulated in the Dark Court that they had perished in the deepest part of that abyss. After all, no one except them had reached the core of the abyss. Everyone else was turned away. No one ever knew what was in the core of the abyss or what had happened there."

"but!"

Nangong Yu's tone suddenly became more serious.

"I've never believed this rumor!"

"Your parents couldn't have died so easily!"

"They are mysterious and powerful!"

"Most importantly..."

Speaking of it.

Nangong Yu lowered his voice slightly.

She leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Lu Yu.

The two snow-white buildings came into view, causing Lu Yu's blood to surge.

"What is it?"

Lu Yu suppressed the romantic feelings in his heart and asked.

"hey-hey--"

Nangong Yu suddenly laughed.

then.

Under Lu Yu's dumbfounded gaze.

She reached out, extending her hand between the two snow-white mountains!

"no--"

Lu Yu was about to speak up and stop his aunt from acting recklessly.

Then I saw it.

Nangong Yu reached into his deeply creviced chest and pulled out a crystal-clear jade pendant.

The jade pendant faintly emitted an aura of spatial fluctuation.

Besides.

There was also a feeling that Lu Yu couldn't quite put his finger on, yet it was both strange and familiar.

This aura...

"Doesn't it feel like a connection, a kind of heart-fluttering feeling?"

Nangong Yu stared intently at Lu Yu and spoke seriously, completely unconcerned about the fact that she was practically leaning her entire upper body over Lu Yu.

"Yes."

Lu Yu took a deep breath.

"What is this?"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's affirmative answer, Nangong Yu's smile deepened.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

She kept muttering to herself, at that moment, she seemed like a little girl who hadn't quite grown up yet.

"After your parents disappeared, people like me who were their followers were also implicated and purged by the Dark Court."

"However, I was able to escape this calamity because that demigod old man from the Shangguan family vouched for me."

"only."

"On the day I left the Dark Court, I woke up from a period of seclusion and found a jade pendant with a mysterious aura beside me."

"The jade pendant carries the scent of your mother; I will not mistake her."

At this point, Nangong Yu paused slightly, then continued:

"Over the years, I have tried many methods, but I have been unable to open this jade pendant."

"Until later..."

"I heard a rumor that Wan'er and the others actually left behind a child."

"That child is you, but I've tried to find out anything about you, no matter how hard I try."

"It wasn't until just before the Abyss College Entrance Examination began that the Martial God asked me to drive the Mystic Maiden to Luo City to pick someone up. That's when I finally realized that you were the child I had been searching for all along."

"And if I'm not mistaken..."

"This jade pendant was left to you by Sister Wan'er; she just entrusted it to me for safekeeping."

talking.

With great solemnity, Nangong Yu took Lu Yu's hands and placed the crystal-clear jade pendant in his palm.

"Twenty years have passed, and I have finally completed my mission."

This moment.

Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

And Lu Yu.

They simply stayed where they were.

because……

The moment the jade pendant was in my hand.

He could clearly feel the blood rushing and roaring within his body.

In the shadows.

It was as if one could still hear mysterious whispers.

These sounds came from the deepest part of his bloodline. Lu Yu couldn't hear them clearly or explain them, but he was certain that they truly existed!

In an instant.

Lu Yu couldn't help but think of it again—

Back then, the information panel of the temple showed three question marks next to the section on one's bloodline.

"so……"

"My bloodline is indeed very special, but what secrets does it hold?"

This thought involuntarily surfaced in Lu Yu's mind.

"Xiaoyu".

"Try it and see if you can activate this jade pendant."

"This jade pendant should be a storage device. Maybe your parents left something or a clue inside for you?"

Nangong Yu's voice reminded Lu Yu.

He snapped out of his daze and looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

With a slight exertion of force in his palm, the divine power of beast taming emanated from him.

hum-

buzz-

The jade pendant vibrated continuously, emitting bursts of rosy light.

then……

And that was the end of it.

"no?"

Lu Yu was somewhat taken aback.

Nangong Yu was also stunned at this moment.

Did she guess wrong?

Wasn't this jade pendant left for Lu Yu by them?

But the aura emanating from it, and the throbbing in Lu Yu's bloodline just now, shouldn't be wrong.

"Perhaps the method is incorrect."

"Why don't you try another method?"

Nangong Yu thought for a moment and then said.

Lu Yu nodded.

He stretched out his finger, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it.

Bright red blood seeped from his fingertips.

Blood test for kinship!

Based on Lu Yu's experience with many online novels from his previous life, this should be the correct way to read it.

tick-

Under the unblinking gaze of the two.

The blood from his fingertip dripped onto the crystal-clear jade pendant.

hum-

buzz-

This time.

The jade pendant vibrated again!

However, the difference is...

The jade pendant emitted a glow that was ten or even a hundred times stronger than before!

"That's right, that's right!"

"This time it's definitely right!"

Nangong Yu's reaction was much more excited than Lu Yu's.

then.

click -

Click—

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The jade pendant that Nangong Yu had spent twenty years trying to open, and which he couldn't even leave a trace of, shattered instantly, breaking in two!

whoosh-

Whizzing--

The moment the jade pendant shattered.

A beam of light shot out and went straight into Lu Yu's body!

boom--

Rumble—!

This moment.

Lu Yu felt a huge tremor in his soul space, and his consciousness became very hazy.

Ding--

Ding ding—!

at the same time.

And then, a series of crisp, mechanical temple notification sounds rang in my ears!

[The ultimate elemental treasure—the Chaotic Flame (unique)—has been detected!]

[High-level energy resources detected - several divine beast cores (realms one to seven)]

[Advanced energy resource detected—the Origin of a Void God (Three Paths)!]

[Special primal energy detected—Abyssal primal power (blended)!]

[Special item detected - Artifact Unsealing (One)!]

【…】

In an instant.

The temple's notification sounds rang incessantly in Lu Yu's ears like a bombardment.

Word by word.

Although they were all in Chinese, when put together, Lu Yu found himself almost unable to recognize them!

Ultimate Elemental Treasure?

Is it the kind of ultimate elemental treasure that he understands?

What is the ultimate elemental treasure that can awaken and evolve the Nine Revolutions Holy Heavenly Dragon once again?

To know.

A moment ago.

Lu Yu was still pondering this matter!

The Nine-Turn Sacred Heavenly Dragon was originally one of the top combat forces among his many pet beasts.

But now that other pets have all gained the power of origin and begun to improve,

The Nine Revolutions Holy Heavenly Dragon is limited by its extremely special awakening mechanism, making it unable to overcome the insurmountable barrier of the god level.

It is foreseeable that—

After Quesanti and the others have digested this blessing of primordial power, their cultivation levels should be able to directly rise to the god-level.

But alas!

Nine Revolutions Holy Heavenly Dragon won't work!

Even if they can unleash god-level combat power, in essence, they are still only at the peak of demigods!

Lu Yu had originally planned to get some divine cores from somewhere and then go to the Holy Temple to inquire about the ultimate elemental treasures.

Unexpected?

In the blink of an eye, it was delivered right in front of me!

Besides.

There are also several divine-level beast cores!

From the first realm to the seventh realm, everything is available!

The Divine Core is, to date, the most precious resource in Lu Yu's knowledge, besides the power of origin.

But alas!

At this moment, it seems to have truly become the most inconspicuous and least respectable resource!

Look at what the others are—

The Origin of the False God!

Three in total!

A phantom god?

If Lu Yu remembered correctly, that was a realm above the Star God!

And the power of the abyss's origin!

This one is even more heavyweight!

Although it looks like just a faint wisp floating.

However, Lu Yu sensed a more profound and weighty aura of rules from it than from the original power of Blue Star before!

in other words.

It's even more powerful than the original power of Earth!

Besides.

There was also a golden talisman floating in mid-air.

The talisman is covered with countless ancient and mysterious characters.

This should be the so-called "unsealing of the divine artifact".

The artifact was unsealed. Although Lu Yu had never heard of this name before, its meaning was easy to understand.

As the name suggests.

A special item used to unlock divine artifacts!

"But the problem is..."

"Where would I get such a magical artifact?"

Such a thought was just popping into Lu Yu's mind.

next moment.

Whoosh-!

A stream of azure light flew out from his body.

Amidst the flowing light.

It was a feather fan!

That is……

The feather fan that Aunt Fang gave him was said to be left by his mother!

[A sealing artifact has been detected!]

[The seal on the divine artifact has been broken!]

[Should we use a special item immediately to unseal the area?]

【hint--】

[The sealed artifact's grade and abilities cannot be viewed. They can only be viewed after the seal is broken!]

[The unsealing process requires a certain amount of energy. Please be well-prepared. If you do not have enough energy, you will not be able to break the seal!]

[Estimated energy requirement for unsealing: 50 Divine Beast Cores or 1 Void God Essence!]

A series of notification sounds rang out again from the temple.

In a short time.

This left Lu Yu somewhat dazed.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Lu Yu quickly began to silently recite the mantra in his mind.

There was a lot of information in a short period of time.

He needs to process this properly.

The first issue to be confirmed was—

"These things were left to me by my parents?"

The thought had just popped into Lu Yu's mind.

next moment.

The temple itself provided the answer.

【Ding--】

All the resources obtained this time came from the one-time storage equipment you unlocked!

[One-time storage equipment: A high-level special item that can be used to seal special energy and resources, but can only be opened once. Opening requires a special trigger mechanism. If the opening mechanism is not triggered, the equipment itself will possess indestructible attributes and be protected by the power of the Temple's rules. No living being can forcibly open it!]
