What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

Chapter 110

The news of Qi Shi'an's departure from Xuanyu spread like wildfire throughout the entire region.

Aside from a few lineages, countless people felt a sense of loss, believing that the departure of this young man had plunged the Xuan Domain back into tranquility.

They had grown accustomed to the confrontation between this young man and the "Three Religions on One Mountain," watching him suppress the major religions to the point of being unable to raise their heads.

Wherever there are teenagers, there are usually crowds of people. Many people admire the arrogance in those teenagers that says, "I know you don't like me, but what can you do about it?"

Now that I've left, it feels like I've lost some of the flavor and fun.

……

In the desolate wilderness, a crimson warship, thousands of feet long, stretched across the sky, alarming many sacred lands of inheritance.

This is a divine warship that Qi Shi'an plundered from the Patching Heaven Sect back then, and it exudes a powerful aura.

At this moment, the desolate region was already in an uproar, with everyone speculating about which lineage had crossed over from another region.

The crimson warship traversed the void. It was extremely magnificent, having expanded from several thousand feet to tens of thousands of feet, transforming into a colossal object that covered the entire sky, like a city suspended in mid-air.

Qi Shi'an stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at his long-lost homeland. His hair was flying, his eyes were sharp, and his black armor had a faint, eerie light that was incredibly intimidating.

Beside him stood a group of elders, including the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Lei Zu Mu Yan, Zhuo Yun, and Elder Xiong Fei, as well as the geniuses who had left with him back then.

Now they are all in high spirits, and their strength is very different from when they left. Many of them have broken through to the early stage of the Inscription Realm, or even the late stage of the Inscription Realm.

When some sharp-eyed people clearly saw the person standing at the bow of the ship, their pupils contracted, their mouths gaped open, and they looked incredulous.

"That...that's...the former little devil king, now the demon lord, Qi Shi'an! He's back!"

"No, the direction they're heading is the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan!"

The news spread immediately, causing a sensation. If we were to talk about who is the most famous in the eight regions of the lower realm right now, it would undoubtedly be Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao.

The battle at Butian Pavilion back then led to its destruction, and a group of elders and disciples fled to the Xuan Domain.

Now that Qi Shi'an has returned with the Patching Heaven Pavilion, he will inevitably settle scores with the former powerful forces, and the Desolate Region is about to undergo another major purge!

"The Demon Lord has returned with a group of elders and disciples from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Their first stop is the Tuoba Clan, with whom they have a grudge. Their target is clear, and the power structure of the Desolate Region is about to be reshuffled once again."

"When the Demon Lord left back then, he was only at the Inscription Realm. Now, his cultivation level is unknown. He is probably close to becoming a god."

"Whether he becomes a god or not doesn't affect his ability to slay gods. His combat power has already surpassed this realm. Perhaps only the Stone Emperor can rival him."

"I heard that when the Stone Emperor was fighting a supreme god, he was almost cursed to death. If he hadn't had a peerless magic technique to be reborn, he probably would have really gone."

"Isn't that the most powerful treasure technique that the Demon Lord and the Stone Emperor obtained together in the Realm of the Void Gods back then?"

Qi Shi'an's return to the desolate region, heading towards the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan, caused a great uproar, with countless people discussing it.

Many powerful forces that had participated in the destruction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were terrified.

When the Tuoba tribe learned that their first stop was them, they were all plunged into despair. Many wanted to flee their ancestral land, and the higher-ups even considered relocating the entire tribe.

But upon closer reflection, where could they possibly escape to? All the inter-domain teleportation arrays in the desolate region were controlled by Shi Hao, and no one could use them without his permission.

There might be some within Starfall Mountain, but not everyone has the courage to venture there and risk their life.

Although we don't know how the people from Butian Pavilion managed to escape safely back then, that's just fate!

"Alas, it is fate. All the elders, lead the elite members of the clan and flee."

"No matter where you are in the world, there will always be a place to settle down, where you can rebuild a new Tuoba clan in the future."

Led by their leaders, all the members of the Tuoba clan hastily fled, scrambling and crawling as if they were a step behind.

The clan's teleportation arrays were activated one after another, and wave after wave of people fled to various parts of the desolate region.

Half an hour later, a large crimson ship came across the sky. The mist on the bow of the ship dissipated, and Qi Shi'an's figure was revealed. Facing the Tuoba tribe, he instantly caused a stir.

"What?! How could they have arrived so quickly?!"

At the entrance to the Tuoba clan's mountain gate, everyone was shocked, dumbfounded, and filled with unease, unable to believe that their doomsday had come so quickly.

Qi Shi'an stood quietly at the bow of the ship, his gaze sweeping over the group of high-ranking members of the Tuoba clan.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their hair standing on end. The thought of the great battle that destroyed the Butian Pavilion a few years ago filled them with fear and panic.

That great battle nearly killed many of the elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and even the current Demon Lord was forced to flee into the forbidden lands of the mortal realm to survive.

Now, not only has he returned alive, but his strength is also vastly different from before, which is definitely a disaster.

The fourth son of the Tuoba clan, in particular, looked at Qi Shi'an as if he had seen a ghost. He fell to the ground, his heart pounding, and he was panting heavily, as if he had lost his soul.

"The Tuoba clan, the debts of the past must be repaid today!"

Qi Shi'an's tone was very calm, but it revealed a hint of domineering power in the ears of the Tuoba clan's powerful members.

“Fellow Daoist, the calamity that befell the Pure Land was not caused by our clan. We are willing to make amends and hope for your forgiveness.”

An old monster from the Tuoba tribe was sweating profusely, feeling uneasy and cold.

He personally participated in that battle back then, and now that they've come knocking on our door, he has no choice but to bow his head for the sake of his tribe's survival.

Ancestor Mu Yan roared, "Tuoba Song, you led many great sects to attack the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, causing the tragic death of my Pure Land's sacrificial spirit. Today, you will surely pay the price!"

The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion stroked his white beard and said in a grand tone, "Those who participated in the battle of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion back then, please step forward, otherwise, we will exterminate even the embers of your fallen heroes."

For a moment, the Tuoba clan members were both shocked and furious, their faces grim. Could a powerful ancient clan like the Tuoba clan really fall to such a state?

It should be noted that the Tuoba clan almost established an ancient kingdom, but now they have fallen to the point of being threatened and warned.

"If we are willing to die, can we ensure that the flame of our clan will not be extinguished?" Tuoba Song said in a low voice.

"Of course!"

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly. Compared to the extermination of his clan, wouldn't it be more wonderful to let his enemies witness his rise and be forever remembered in history, living a life of constant suffering?

Sometimes, being alive can be more painful and heartbreaking than dying!

Coincidentally, he hadn't yet found a subject to study the demonic energy he had collected from the Dark Ancient Palace in the Realm of the Void Gods.

Tuoba Shan's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "Elder, don't believe his nonsense. So what if we die? At worst, we can perish together with him. In the future, my Tuoba clan will still dominate the lower realm!"

“That’s right. Being cowardly before the battle is not our clan’s style. As a fellow Venerable Realm cultivator, I don’t believe he’s that powerful.”

Tuoba Hanhai responded, his Venerable Realm cultivation aura surging, his fighting spirit unparalleled.

Qi Shi'an sneered, "Very good, I like this kind of stubbornness."

The next moment, he waved his sleeve, and with a loud "boom," it was as if a raging ocean was surging. Endless dragon energy formed chains, sealing off thousands of miles of territory and directly enveloping the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan.

"you……"

Tuoba Song cried out in alarm. At that moment, he felt a fierce and tyrannical aura sweeping across the vast territory ruled by the Tuoba clan. Wisps of dragon energy rose from the earth, sealing off the entire space.

At the same time, a group of elders from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion made their moves, and one magical artifact after another erupted, radiating boundless light and auspicious colors, dazzling and terrifying, engulfing the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan.

These were all treasures that Qi Shi'an obtained after looting the Heaven-Mending Sect and the Western Sect, as well as from killing the gods.

He used it all to enhance the combat power of the people in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, leaving only some precious medicines and bones behind.

"Since we can't avoid it, let's fight!"

Tuoba Song roared, knowing he couldn't leave alive today, so he might as well fight to his heart's content. If he could kill a few high-ranking officials, it wouldn't be a loss.

"kill!"

The Tuoba clan's high-ranking members, undeterred by the prospect of death, leaped up in an instant, ready to fight to the death.

Unfortunately, with Qi Shi'an backing them up, their struggles were all in vain. He would not give the Tuoba clan a chance to kill a single member of Butian Pavilion.

"Rumble..."

The thunder was deafening, and lightning crackled across the void like waterfalls cascading down, piercing through Tuoba Shan's protective runes and striking him.

Blood trickled from the corner of Tuoba Shan's mouth as he was sent flying, crashing into the ancestral land and creating a deep crater in the ground.

Ancestor Mu Yan's hair and beard were like steel needles, bathed in lightning, his aura was fierce and merciless, his palms glowed, and he attracted a string of lightning bolts, which blasted Tuoba Shan away.

"Roar……"

With a roar, a powerful and majestic Suanni appeared, its body blazing with golden light, shattering all the runes. Then, it opened its mouth and howled, spitting out unparalleled lightning bolts that shot out in all directions.

The ancestral land of the Tuoba clan was completely destroyed, with all the surrounding buildings reduced to dust, and countless Tuoba clan members were killed, becoming charred corpses.

After learning the supreme Thunder Dao technique, the Suanni Treasure Technique, from Qi Shi'an, Ancestor Mu Yan's understanding of the Thunder Dao laws deepened, and he himself began to radiate vitality.

The ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion. The once mighty Tuoba tribe was now in ruins. Although it had once been glorious, even its protective mountain formation had been brutally shattered, leaving it with no chance of resistance.

"Kill them..."

In an instant, the sounds of battle shook the heavens. The elders of the Butian Pavilion led less than four hundred junior experts straight into the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan and swept through the area, killing any who resisted without mercy.

In this battle, the Tuoba clan was completely wiped out, its middle and upper classes were all destroyed, and its vast territory was reduced to ruins, with numerous casualties.

The scattered embers were all found and used by Qi Shi'an as research subjects. They were refined with the demonic energy obtained from the Dark Ancient Palace, and their fate was self-evident.

On this day, Qi Shi'an led the Butian Pavilion to announce its powerful return with a devastating battle.

The other major sects and ancient families that had previously colluded with them were terrified and were all mass-migrating their clansmen away.

Chapter 111 Digging Up Graves in Xiling

"Waaah..."

As the horn sounded, the crimson warship started up, its hull emitting a hazy glow. It left the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan, traversed the void, and headed to its next destination: Xiling Beast Mountain!

If we were to name the place in the desolate region with the heaviest yin energy since ancient times, it would undoubtedly be the Western Beast Mountain.

This is a vast mausoleum known as the Western Mausoleum. It is not a place where ordinary people or cultivators are buried, but rather where ancient ferocious beasts and divine birds are laid to rest.

Over the long course of time, countless powerful ferocious beasts and divine birds have been buried here, making it a vast cemetery area.

If we trace its history back to the ancient times, we can go back to the Primordial Era, when Kunpeng was still alive and could command the world, and the other ten fierce beasts also made their appearance.

In that ancient past, countless earth-shattering battles took place, some in the eight lower realms and others in the upper realm. Countless supreme beings perished and were buried in this park.

You must know that in the ancient times, those who could be buried here were all gods, including true gods and heavenly gods, so powerful that they made people tremble. Any one of them could dominate the world in this life.

In addition, some ferocious beasts and divine birds that perished in later generations also chose to be buried in this place.

Over time, the place became extremely yin, resembling the underworld.

The creatures that once guarded the cemetery have, over the years, become an undeniable force, with their descendants establishing "Beast Mountain" as their ancestral home.

This is the true origin of Xiling Beast Mountain!

As the warships drew closer, the mountain range looked quite peculiar, resembling a vast expanse of enormous burial mounds. All the mountains were like this, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"I don't see any yin energy here either," Tao Ye frowned.

Upon arriving here, the sky was clear and bright, the sun was high in the sky, and the yang energy was abundant. No one felt any chilling or yin energy.

"This place is extremely strange. It is said that sometimes it is filled with overwhelming yin energy, while most of the time it is more yang than the outside world," said Ancestor Mu Yan calmly.

The mountains are lush with vegetation and ancient trees that have lived for thousands of years, and some are even tens of thousands of years old.

Beside Xiling, there is a mountain range brimming with spiritual energy, its purple aura rising like a giant dragon ascending to heaven, with purple energy constantly flowing out—clearly a sacred land for cultivation.

As the group sailed across the land in their crimson warships, the world suddenly changed, leaving everyone in awe.

The hills vanished, revealing a desolate wasteland teeming with ferocious beasts and divine birds—a truly terrifying sight.

"call……"

A fierce wind arose, and high in the sky, a golden-winged roc soared through the air, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, covering the heavens, covered with runes, and its fierce flames raged.

On the earth, a blood-red Pixiu, its ferocity overwhelming; a black Hou roared, and the bright moon fell; a Zhu Yan struck across the sky... one terrifying creature after another appeared, chilling people to the bone.

"This...could this place have evolved into a real world?!"

The Pavilion Master was startled and immediately summoned his treasure, unleashing divine power to protect everyone on the warship.

This place is terrifying, like the ancient times when countless races coexisted, humans and gods lived together, powerful beings were everywhere, and competition was extremely fierce.

Qi Shi'an calmly said, "This place is like the Realm of the Void Gods, a 'realm' constructed from vast spiritual energy."

These words shocked everyone. It should be known that the Void God Realm is composed of spirit, bound by laws, and is mysterious, profound, and unpredictable.

These people might not believe it, but Qi Shi'an knew that this place was unconsciously constructed by the remains of the three Immortal Kings over a long period of time; it was originally just a burial ground for powerful people.

Later, as more and more powerful corpses were buried in the hills, the area underwent a sudden and bizarre change.

Qi Shi'an scanned the area with his divine sense but found no trace of the legendary original true solution. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Shi Hao has already been here?"

He was hoping to have the chance to see the Myriad Spirits Diagram, after all, it was a peerless technique for an emperor, which could help him quickly perfect the Myriad Paths Heavenly Demon Diagram, bringing him immense benefits.
