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

In a mysterious space.

Old Man Yan and Lu Yu stood facing each other.

then……

Around Lu Yu.

From the moment he entered the secret realm, every scene that happened was replayed!

even……

Lu Yu could feel that he was standing right next to "himself"!

Together with Old Man Yan, he watched helplessly as "himself" underwent the strength test, survived the beast tide assessment, and stepped into the main hall of the Crimson Flame Sect...

Time passed by, second by second.

Time, however, seemed to freeze at this moment.

Lu Yu had no idea how much time had passed.

at last.

When the timeline converges, "you" and "yourself" overlap.

The time travel has ended, and he returns to the present!

The moment consciousness returns.

Lu Yu felt a chill run down his spine!

He was 100% certain...

This is definitely not just a simple retracing of images.

Instead, he truly broke through the barriers of time and space, and together with Old Man Yan, returned to the previous time and space, quietly looking back at everything that had happened during that period of time from outside of time!

Horrifying, exaggerated, and outrageous!

At this moment, Lu Yu had only this thought in his mind!

And Old Man Yan.

He seemed to have only done a trivial little thing.

After watching all of Lu Yu's performances.

A genuine smile finally appeared on his messy yet kind face.

"Young man..."

"You're very good!"

At this moment, the old man Yan's gaze toward Lu Yu now contained not only the initial friendliness, but also a hint of appreciation and satisfaction.

Lu Yu didn't know what to say, so he simply nodded woodenly.

And the next moment.

Old Man Yan stared at Lu Yu for a while, then suddenly spoke:

"You possess the aura of a supreme being!"

This statement came out.

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback.

The strongest?

"A strange aura."

"Not at the god level, yet surpassing the god level."

"Looks like... he's an interesting young man."

Old Man Yan muttered something to himself.

He stared at Lu Yu for a while, as if he had thought of something and understood something, but he didn't say it out loud.

Only Lu Yu remained completely bewildered and utterly confused from beginning to end.

"Let's not talk about that."

Just as Lu Yu was about to ask further, Old Man Yan waved his hand, interrupting him, and then changed his tone, saying leisurely:

"Young man, do you know why I've waited for you for 120,000 years?"

This statement came out.

Lu Yu's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"I don't know, please enlighten me, senior."

Lu Yu nodded honestly and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yan smiled and finally stopped hiding his story, beginning to recount it slowly:

"I am actually a remnant of the previous era."

"More than 129,000 years have passed since the last era..."

"You've probably already seen the murals in the main hall."

"You probably already thought of that, right?"

"The so-called 'monster catastrophe,' the war between humans and behemoths, is not something that happened in a single era or world, but rather in all eras and all worlds!"

"From ancient times to the present, it has spread through countless eras, reaching far beyond the myriad realms!"

At this point, Old Man Yan paused slightly.

A rare look of sadness appeared on his face.

There was a long silence.

Old Man Yan suddenly asked:

"Do you know the origin of those fifty stone statues in the main hall?"

After listening, Lu Yu thought for a moment and said:

"A gift left behind by the martial arts masters of the Crimson Flame Sect?"

The words fell.

Old Man Yan fell silent again.

He ruffled his messy, flowing red hair, then sighed deeply and spoke softly:

"A gift?"

"Perhaps!"

"Those stone statues were created by them sealing their own bodies and souls!"

"Those stone statues are them!"

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Lu Yu stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses.

Stone statues...

It turned out to be those martial arts experts themselves!

"and you--"

Lu Yu suddenly realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed at the red-haired old man statue in front of him.

This time.

Old Man Yan shook his head and sighed:

"I am different from them. At that time, I had already reached the god-level realm and could step into the star battlefield. This stone statue is just a remnant of my spirit!"

After listening, Lu Yu frowned and pressed for an answer:

"Then why would they seal away their life and soul, willingly becoming a cold, lifeless stone statue?"

"If possible..."

"Everyone has the will to survive, right?"

Old Man Yan remained silent.

He fell silent again.

A very, very long time passed.

"well--"

He sighed deeply, and the sorrow on his aged face deepened.

He seemed unwilling to say anything more.

So he reached out and gently touched the air.

hum-

Scenes flashed before my eyes.

That is……

Scenes that occurred in the ancient era!

That is……

Mountains and rivers reversed, the world collapsed, and even the stars in the universe began to crumble and fall!

That is……

On the planet, countless humans and even giant beasts cried out for help.

but……

finally.

Everything turned into dust and vanished into the endless void!

This scene deeply shocked Lu Yu, leaving him speechless for a long time.

And then Old Man Yan's voice rang out again, faintly.

This time.

What he recounted was the most horrifying story Lu Yu had ever heard—

"The abyss descends, a monstrous catastrophe erupts!"

"An era begins, the world collapses!"

"As long as this endless war between humanity and behemoths continues, the era will collapse and restart every 129,600 years!"

"At that time..."

"Apart from gods and beasts, all other life forms will perish in the interstellar battlefield!"

Even if...

"Those stone statues outside were once my most favored disciples, yet they too could not escape that fate!"

"besides……"

"The various secret realms in your world are, in essence, just remnants of fragments from the collapse of an ancient era!"

Old Man Yan revealed this earth-shattering secret.

In a short time.

Lu Yu suddenly felt a little short of breath!

all the time.

He always felt that as long as he continued to grow and become stronger, he could at least protect those around him from the threat of giant monsters, if not save humanity.

But in reality...

Even someone as powerful as Old Man Yan could only watch helplessly as his disciple sealed his life and soul, turning into a cold, lifeless stone statue at the moment the era collapsed!

This……

How utterly powerless!

"Is it sad?"

Old Man Yan looked at Lu Yu and suddenly asked.

"sorrow!"

Lu Yu nodded.

And the next moment.

A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Old Man Yan's face.

He looked at Lu Yu, his eyes filled with hope and expectation.

"Young man!"

"120,000 years ago, I unexpectedly glimpsed a glimpse of a prophecy about the future."

"In that prophetic scene..."

"You are the one who will end all this sorrow!"

The words fell.

Lu Yu was stunned.

Old Man Yan's tone, however, carried an even stronger sense of determination.

"You are a Beast Tamer!"

"You are the only Beast Tamer in all the heavens and myriad realms!"

"Perhaps in this endless cycle of colossal natural disasters, you are the only one who can break the deadlock!"

Only these three sentences.

Lu Yu felt a chill run down his spine!
