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

Qi Shi'an remained calm and composed, his eyes were incredibly deep, his palm glowed, and divine runes condensed into a black halberd. Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust it forward.

Chi!

In an instant, the halberd's light transformed into a silent extreme point, tearing through the void, annihilating all the runes in its path, and striking the Dharma image directly.

The Supreme Dharma Image was pierced and exploded with a bang. Yuan Tong let out a muffled groan, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression changed drastically in an instant, even his eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.

But he steadied himself, holding the measuring ruler in one hand and forming a hand seal with the other. Divine energy surged from his body, and a divine diagram appeared above his head as he engaged in a decisive battle with Qi Shi'an.

"It's all in vain."

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent, his battle halberd flashing through the air, unleashing a burst of dazzling magical light. One black halberd after another danced in the air, hurtling straight towards Yuan Tong.

In that instant, the halberd's light transformed into countless demonic rays, tearing apart the void wherever it passed, as if destroying the Great Dao, annihilating all life and becoming unstoppable.

"puff!"

Blood splattered, runes were obliterated, Yuan Tong suffered a great loss this time, and staggered backward.

"The divine map buries the heavens, and all stars return to nothingness!"

Yuan Tong erupted once more, his pupils glowing, divine images shimmering, countless purple symbols intertwining and transforming into one large star after another revolving in the dark universe, and one galaxy after another hanging down, as if a whole universe had descended upon this place.

Having fought to this point, Yuan Tong had no scruples left, using almost every means at his disposal, all in an effort to kill the young man before him and prevent his Dao heart from being clouded.

puff!

Qi Shi'an's cheek was cut, and blood trickled down his cheek.

He wiped away the blood and said calmly, "You have reason to be proud that you were able to injure me."

"kill!"

The most intense battle broke out, leaving behind afterimages as they fought to a fever pitch. Qi Shi'an fought with increasing ferocity, his divine fist astonishing the world. With a single punch, even a giant star was about to explode.

No one expected that this battle would be so difficult; the two fought for over a thousand moves without a clear winner.

The main reason is that Yuan Tong, as the first generation of the clan, was too terrifying. He had endless methods, amazing profound knowledge, and unparalleled supernatural power that combined divine diagrams and divine arts.

Throughout the entire process, Qi Shi'an relied on his physical body and divine runes to fight the enemy. He sealed off many of his own abilities, and many of his self-created supernatural powers and techniques were never used.

He wanted to know what he could achieve with his physical body alone, without using any special techniques or supernatural powers.

boom!

After three thousand rounds of fighting, Yuan Tong was panting heavily, his body covered in blood. He sensed something was very wrong and realized he had suffered a severe injury.

Blood was trickling from the corner of Qi Shi'an's mouth, but his breathing remained steady, and he still had some strength left.

Gradually, Qi Shi'an became more and more calm. After such a hard-fought battle, he gained new insights into all the magical techniques and supernatural powers. These insights resonated with his own laws and principles, making the path to invincibility clearer for him.

Every time he swung his fist or brandished his halberd, he could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, forming a vast, black-gold ocean that enveloped the entire arena.

"puff!"

Yuan Tong's face was as white as paper. He coughed up a mouthful of blood from his heart, and his physical injuries were extremely severe.

He used far too much power beyond his own limits. The combined power of several clan-protecting treasures and the innate divine diagram was too terrifying, and he could no longer withstand it.

boom!

Qi Shi'an flicked his left arm and threw a punch. Yuan Tong was powerless to resist and was sent flying through the air, spitting out a string of bright red blood.

"Die!"

Immediately afterward, Qi Shi'an followed up, reaching out to grab Yuan Tong's neck with one hand, and then thrusting out a halberd with his other hand, piercing into his skull, the blood flowing out in a ghastly manner.

"what……"

Yuan Tong roared, his whole body glowing, especially his skull. Although it was cracked into several pieces, with the white bone breaking through the flesh, it was still radiating symbols.

His hands instantly formed a powerful hand seal, bursting forth with boundless light, attempting to reverse this defeat. He was unwilling to accept the end of the game and did everything in his power to resist, preventing the halberd from penetrating deeper into the territory.

In the blink of an eye, this place was filled with countless symbols, purple light soared into the sky, and hundreds of auspicious rays enveloped the bronze arena, making it both sacred and astonishing.

However, Qi Shi'an remained ruthless in the face of all this. His black hair flew wildly as he exerted force in his hand, piercing the halberd through.

The halberd pierced through, leaving a large hole in Yuan Tong's head. Blood gushed out, and his eyes began to glaze over, losing their luster.

The scene was terrifying; everyone was stunned, their spines tingled, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

Yuan Tong has been defeated for the first time since his debut, and by an unknown young man no less. This is a major event that will surely turn into a storm and spread throughout the states.

Chapter 134 The Highest Hall

As the light rained down, and the battle was decided, Yuan Tong, who lay in a pool of blood, was enveloped in divine light and quickly left the bronze arena.

"What a pity..."

Qi Shi'an muttered to himself that the other party was protected by a life talisman and ultimately escaped a calamity, without truly dying.

He had thought that this arena could render the life-saving talisman ineffective and truly kill Yuan Tong, but unfortunately, it did not work out.

Qi Shi'an stood on the platform, quietly pondering and summarizing the gains and losses of this battle. He had clearly gained a great deal, confirming his own laws and principles. The path in his heart became clearer and broader.

Most importantly, this battle lasted for such a long time, more than three thousand rounds. It was extremely arduous, and he endured it with his physical body alone. The divine runes within his body also became more perfectly integrated with his physical body, and he was able to use them with ease.

Qi Shi'an glanced at the people on the Daoist platform, a flash of inspiration struck him, then he coughed lightly, spitting out a mouthful of blood: "Cough..."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. Looking at the boy's rosy complexion and steady breathing, he didn't seem like someone who was seriously injured at all. Wasn't that spitting out blood a bit of a perfunctory act? You could at least make it look convincing!

Shi Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes and sighed inwardly. He wondered whether he had corrupted Shi Hao, or Shi Hao had corrupted him, or whether they were all in cahoots and wicked.

After this fierce battle, some people tried to issue challenges, but everyone tacitly avoided choosing Gu Shengzi, Jun Dao, Shi Guan Wang, and Qi Shi An.

These four individuals have surpassed their contemporaries in strength, making them virtually invincible in the Venerable Realm!

Their strength far exceeds the scope of the Venerable Realm; even a Divine Fire Realm expert might not be their match.

……

At the exit of the secret realm, Yuan Tong stood motionless on the altar, enveloped in runes and radiating overwhelming divine power. This time, he was extremely furious.

To be killed by an unknown teenager and returned here is a disgrace!

Outside, countless people were shocked. Everyone recognized the young man on the altar; no one expected that he would be killed and then resurrected on the altar.

Is this some kind of catastrophe? Who could have done this? It's unbelievable!

Even the leaders were greatly impressed and their hearts were shaken. According to the timeline, the conquest deep in the secret realm was coming to an end.

Many people believe that the Yuan Clan may be the biggest winner. Many of their gods entered the clan, but none of them died in battle, nor did any of them return wrapped in the life talisman.

Even without obtaining the inheritance of the Primordial Supreme, the gains are destined to be immense.

But no one expected that Yuan Tong of the Yuan Clan would suddenly be eliminated!

"Is this real? He was actually beheaded!"

"Isn't he supposed to be the most talented? Who could possibly defeat him?!"

The crowd outside was in an uproar, and the place immediately erupted in excitement.

On the altar, Yuan Tong's face was ashen, his purple robes fluttering and emitting a blinding light that enveloped him, making it difficult for others to look directly at him.

The Yuan clan patriarch's face was grim as he asked in a deep voice, "Yuan Tong, what's going on here?"

Yuan Tong clenched his fist so tightly it almost bled, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Being... by a boy who seems to be from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone knew what Yuan Tong was about to say; he didn't want to admit to words like "defeated" or "killed."

Because this was something he, being proud and arrogant, would not allow; even in death, his mouth had to remain firm!

"The Demon Dragon Sect? Why would they send someone here?" The leader of Sword Valley looked puzzled and confused.

The Yuan Clan patriarch asked, "Yuan Tong, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Are they really from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect?"

It should be noted that the Demon Dragon Dao Sect is located in the Sinful State, which is separated from the Yuan State by hundreds of large states, including some hidden places. Even using a teleportation array would require a significant amount of time and resources.

"I can't be mistaken."

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Tong recounted the events that had occurred in the secret realm, including the magical artifact used by the young man, the scene of his battle with him, and the fact that the ancient Qingfeng had been bound.

As for why they didn't explain that their own two deities were also imprisoned, one can only say that the imperial clan still cares about saving face.

Moreover, saying this could mislead others into believing that he acted because he couldn't bear to see the Sword Valley prodigies become someone else's "dogs."

This move not only wins people's hearts but also diverts the blame, reducing the "public opinion" pressure on him.

Everyone who heard this was stunned. It was beyond their imagination. How arrogant must someone be to be able to withstand all the supernatural powers of the first generation of the Yuan Clan with just their physical body?

Only the leader of Sword Valley and the patriarch of the Yuan Clan had angry expressions. It was a small matter that their own juniors were defeated, but to be led around like dogs was undoubtedly an insult to them!

The Buddha Miaoti twirled her prayer beads and said softly, "Judging from this boy's behavior, he does resemble the kind of things that demon lord from the lower realm would do."

"Moreover, some time ago, the gods descended to the mortal realm, among whom were members of the Demon Dragon Dao Sect. It is not surprising that the Demon Lord possesses the divine artifacts."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong's gaze turned even colder. Even though he had been killed once, he still believed that his combat strength was greater than that of the Demon Lord. He had just been too arrogant and careless in the past.

Those cult leaders also had deep eyes. Although they did not participate in the cult, it did not prevent them from knowing about the matters of the gods descending to the mortal realm.

They heard that the monstrous demon lord of the lower realm had joined forces with Haotian to annihilate the gods and disrupt the plans of those immortal lineages.

After that, no one paid attention to the Great Demon after it broke through the barrier between heaven and earth. Everyone thought that the Great Demon was trapped and died in the lower realm. Unexpectedly, it still managed to come up.

"Hey, did you hear that? The Demon Lord of the Lower Realm is in the secret realm!"

"Has the Demon Lord become this strong? He's actually comparable to the First Generation!"

The place instantly erupted in excitement. Everyone knew that the culprit who killed Yuan Tong was the Great Fiend Demon Lord, who already had a formidable record of victories, and now his achievements were even more astonishing and unbelievable.

"It seems that no one can stop the rise of the Demon Lord."

Outside the secret realm, the heroes were buzzing with excitement, having witnessed the rise of a young supreme being who would shine brightly across the Three Thousand Provinces.

"Ancestor, do you have any more life talismans? Give me another one, and I'll go and kill him!"

Yuan Tong used his divine sense to request the item from the Yuan clan's ancestor.

"Forget it, Yuan Tong. Go back and cultivate diligently. I hope that this defeat will help you reflect on your mistakes and grow stronger. Then you will surely be able to compete for the top spot in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm."

The Yuan clan patriarch sat cross-legged, as silent as a rock, and did not agree.

He knew that the Great Demon Lord had concealed many of his powerful techniques to hide his identity, clearly hiding most of his strength.

He only has two life talismans left. Even if Yuan Tong goes in twice, he will be humiliated again. At that time, his Dao heart will be unstable, and it will be a loss.

……

Time flew by, and three days later, the nine sacred mountains began to glow.

Above the sky, the ancient, wondrous tree swayed, emitting divine sounds of the Great Dao. Seven-colored rays of light shone on the ten people on the platform, guiding them into the highest hall.

"Which of these ten people will truly receive the legacy left by the Eastern Celestial Venerable? We shall wait and see."

"The most likely candidate is undoubtedly the ten-time champion!"

"Even the ancient saint has a chance."

"..."

Most people were left behind, and only ten people passed the test and entered the highest hall!

Qi Shi'an and his companions were led to a magnificent hall suspended on the divine tree. The ancient hall was vast, filled with chaotic energy and interspersed with colorful rays of light, as if they had arrived at the end of the world.

Here, you can feel the breath of time, as if you are going against the flow of time and have seen the changes of the ages, the rise and fall of countless races, and finally all returning to nothingness and silence.

Not far from there, a golden ancient stele hangs in the void, surrounded by chaotic energy, shining brightly. On it are only two words: Tomb of Soldiers!

The so-called "soldier's tomb" is actually an ancient tomb with crystal as the soil. A magical artifact was buried there, including a sword, a knife, a spear, and so on, all exuding an extraordinary aura.

Yan Di said calmly, "This military tomb contains many magical artifacts, so there's no need for us to fight. Let's each rely on our own fate."

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention, and the scene fell silent.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh," the first generation of the Fuxi clan moved first, rushing quickly towards a treasure seal.

Qi Shi'an looked there and saw a precious seal in the crystal tomb. It was indigo blue, with a dull surface and flowing runes on it, making it quite extraordinary.

Chi!

Suddenly, a purple fingertip ripped through the void, hurtling towards us with immense force.

The one who made the move was none other than Jun Dao, an ancient freak from the Jun Tian Realm!

boom!
