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

"kill!"

Several celestial beings shouted as they struggled against the attack, forcing themselves to take a deep breath and unleash their trump cards.

"Have you cooperated?"

Qi Shi'an sneered, raised his hand and waved it, and a torrential downpour of black divine runes instantly enveloped Hao Lei Lake.

The world suddenly lost its color, daylight turned into eternal night, and the mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon and stars all disappeared before our eyes, replaced by an endless abyss.

"Nine Netherworld Burial Heaven!"

Qi Shi'an spoke calmly, and nine black dragons rose from the dark Nine Nether Abyss like divine chains, soaring across the sky and covering the entire dark domain.

"kill!"

With his half-crippled body, Yuan Tong roared and unleashed his full power, summoning the clan's most treasured treasure, the Measuring Ruler. In an instant, the world was filled with dazzling stars, shining brightly, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens and was engulfing Qi Shi'an.

when!

The indestructible measuring ruler struck the nine black dragons, producing a muffled thunderous sound. The runes of the Nine Heavens Galaxy were instantly devoured by the nine black dragons, melting away as rapidly as ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

The magical artifacts of several deities were also blasted away, and tiny cracks appeared on them.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked. These were their ultimate trump cards, each of which was at the level of a sect leader, yet they were still unable to withstand them.

Before they could retreat, the nine black dragons, as agile as divine chains, instantly wrapped around them. The black dragons flashed with dark light, and the laws of destruction suddenly erupted. They felt the surging life force within them rapidly draining away, and their bodies withering at a visible speed.

"Do not……"

Yuan Tong let out a shrill scream, desperately trying to activate the Heavenly Divine Diagram, but he only managed to break free from one of the black dragons. The remaining eight black dragons tightly bound his physical body and primordial spirit, and the destructive power raged and wreaked havoc. His primordial spirit instantly dimmed and became covered with cracks.

In the blink of an eye, almost all living beings near Haolei Lake were wiped out, and the primordial spirits of several gods were directly blown apart, leaving only empty shells.

"You'll have to keep provoking me in your next life, okay?"

Qi Shi'an revealed a wicked smile, reached out a palm and grabbed Yuan Tong's neck, his palm surging with demonic energy.

Three thousand prefectures, bordering the uninhabited area.

The cultivators from various sects watched from here, their hearts filled with turmoil. Recently, through the images reflected in the petals of the Immortal Path, they had seen what was happening in the Immortal Ancient Realm, and none of them could remain calm.

"Excellent! Our clan's genius has unearthed a divine herb, causing his strength to surge. As long as he returns safely, he is destined to rise to prominence!"

"The Ten-Crown King actually possesses a World Tree sapling, and Ning Chuan actually has the hand bones of a True Immortal. Just how fortunate are these two!"

Even the sect leader coveted these two treasures. You must know that in the previous era, the World Tree was considered a supreme treasure. If one were to plant this sapling within their body, it would undoubtedly allow them to cultivate a second strand of immortal energy.

Because, according to records from the previous era, this was one of the strongest immortal seeds!

"I wonder if that Demon Lord has already perished under the heavenly tribulation."

"Needless to say, even a true immortal would have a hard time passing the Heavenly Tribulation while dragging a crippled body through it."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion; some were happy, while others were worried.

"It would be best if they died. With such heavy sins of killing, they were destined to suffer a terrible fate!"

"What a pity, he's dead, and all his treasures have gone to someone else!"

Clearly, there are many major sects that are dissatisfied with Qi Shi'an, such as the Heavenly Kingdom, the Yuan Clan, the Fire Cloud Cave, and the Demon Dragon Dao Sect. At this moment, the people of these sects breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Qitian, the god of Tianyun Academy, felt somewhat regretful; what he wanted, he ultimately could not obtain.

The old dean remained silent, then wrote the words "Demon Lord" on the petals of the Immortal Path. Instantly, the scene within the Immortal Ancient Realm appeared on them.

In a dark and gloomy world, a boy dressed in black stands on the bones of a celestial being, while holding Yuan Tong's mangled body in one hand and pouring in demonic energy, intending to refine it into a demonic corpse.

"Brother Qi!" Luo Shenghang was overjoyed.

When Bai Qitian saw this scene, his eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. There was still a chance for his divine medicine!

Of course, while some were overjoyed, others were furious.

"You wicked brat, how dare you treat our clan's prodigy like this!" The Yuan clan chief was furious, wishing he could storm into the Immortal Ancient City and smash Qi Shi'an into mincemeat with one slap.

The high-ranking officials of the major forces, who were initially excited, all turned pale. How could this little devil be so hard to kill? Even the strongest heavenly tribulation couldn't kill him.

Within the ancient city, at Haolei Lake.

The Blood God Tree emerged from the spatial artifact and asked in confusion, "Little demon, what kind of supernatural power is this? How can you do something like this?"

This was the first time it had ever seen such a bizarre technique, one that could actually turn a person into a demonic corpse.

This is truly bizarre—it's incredibly bizarre!

"What, you want to be one of them too?" Qi Shi'an smiled lightly, but to the Blood God Tree, it was extremely creepy and frantically shook its branches to express its refusal.

The Blood God Tree stammered, "That... what you said..."

Qi Shi'an shook his head, took out two jade cups, and then poured out a golden liquid from the small black cauldron in his hand. The fragrance was intoxicating, and people could smell it from a distance.

"Here, two cups of Thunder Tribulation Liquid, completely dispelling the ancient immortal curse."

The Blood God Tree eagerly drank the two cups of Thunder Tribulation Liquid, closed its eyes, savored the aftertaste, and felt incredibly refreshed.

The next moment, its body trembled violently, and white mist rose from its body, turning from white to black, and then turning into black light that burned on its surface.

"what……"

The Blood God Tree leaped into the sky, roaring like a dragon's cry or a tiger's roar, shaking heaven and earth with its powerful energy, and no longer felt any discomfort.

"Haha... I'm cured, I'm really cured!" The Blood God Tree was extremely excited. The curse that had plagued it for many years had actually been eliminated.

Qi Shi'an shook the small black cauldron in his hand and chuckled, "Hey, old Dengshu, do you still want it? If not, I'll drink it all up."

"Really?" The Blood God Tree grinned obsequiously, its eyes burning with desire as it stared at the lightning tribulation liquid.

This is the Thunder Tribulation Liquid born from the strongest Heavenly Tribulation! Two cups will be enough to remove the curse on its body. If it drinks a couple more cups, its cultivation level might even increase significantly.

Qi Shi'an explained, "This golden tribulation liquid is quite special. If it is taken from the Immortal Pool, it must be used up in a short time, otherwise it will quickly dissipate into the world."

"Ten more cups, please!" Upon hearing this, the Blood God Tree's leaves turned a considerable amount of red.

At this moment, all the leaders of the various sects outside were watching the Immortal Flower Petals. Qi Shi'an drank the Tribulation Liquid with the Blood God Tree right in front of everyone.

That's incredibly extravagant! Are they drinking lightning tribulation liquid like water?!

This is practically a crime!

Many gods and sect leaders were furious. A junior had survived the strongest heavenly tribulation and obtained such a precious tribulation liquid, yet he did not know how to cherish it!

This single drop of tribulation liquid, which could be equivalent to countless years of arduous cultivation, was drunk up so casually, not a single drop left.

Countless people secretly clicked their tongues in disapproval.

"That was exhilarating!" After drinking a few cups of Tribulation Liquid, the Blood God Tree's cultivation naturally broke through its shackles and reached the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm.

"It's alright, barely acceptable."

Qi Shi'an muttered to himself, he had no idea how much Tribulation Liquid he had drunk in the Immortal Pool, and now this little bit was no different from water.

"Little devil, where are we going next?" the Blood God Tree asked.

"Wherever there is treasure, there I will be."

Qi Shi'an has cultivated three strands of immortal energy and broken through to the True One Realm. His next step should be to consider the Sacred Sacrifice Realm.

"I will go to be tempered and strive to cross the river!"

"You're not going to try to conquer the God King's Path, are you?" the Blood God Tree asked in surprise.

Qi Shi'an said confidently, "Of course!"

After reaching the True One Realm, if a cultivator is exceptionally talented enough, they can directly seek ways to advance to the Heavenly God Realm.

However, there is a legend that only those who have stepped into the realm of the Holy Sacrifice can be considered true kings among gods, and only the most talented and extraordinary geniuses will choose to embark on this path.

Legend has it that without undergoing a sacred ritual, one cannot live forever and will find it difficult to reach the pinnacle of the divine path, thus failing to become an immortal.

For all living beings in the world, there is no need to consider immortality, because they simply do not have the qualifications. Throughout an entire era, those who can live forever are extremely rare, even in the Immortal Ancient Era.

Therefore, nine out of ten cultivators would not consider the Sacred Sacrifice, and only the one out of ten exceptionally confident geniuses would break through to this realm.

The Sacred Sacrifice Realm is a special realm, and once entered, it is quite eerie.

At this level, anyone's cultivation is very unstable. Sometimes they are no different from gods, possessing immeasurable magical power, but at other times they are very dangerous, as their cultivation level can drop inexplicably, possibly even falling short of the Divine Fire Realm, let alone being comparable to a true god.

Therefore, most people dare not attempt the realm of sacred ritual.

There are many titles for people at this level, such as saint or god-king, all of which are recognition and praise.

"But Saintly Wood is very hard to find. Without Saintly Wood, it is extremely difficult to break through to this realm," the Blood God Tree said with some worry.

Qi Shi'an said confidently, "I have a way to reach this realm even without the Sage's Wood!"

While the Sage Wood can reduce the risk of breakthroughs, it is not a necessary condition.

The essence of the Sacred Sacrifice Realm is that cultivators voluntarily sacrifice their own divine fire, Dao foundation, physical body, and primordial spirit to complete the ultimate tempering of the Great Dao in the process of destruction and rebirth, overcome the great danger of the God King Tribulation, and finally forge an invincible foundation for the divine path.

Qi Shi'an possesses the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths, which allows him to easily manipulate the myriad paths, break through to the Sacred Sacrifice, and complete the ultimate refinement of the Great Dao.

"Let's go, let's go to other minor worlds to find the divine medicine first."

Qi Shi'an put away the Martial Heavenly Sword, cleaned up the battlefield, and then his figure flashed, turning into a wisp of light and leaving the place.

Chapter 171 Threat

The ancient realm is vast and boundless, and no one can fathom its depths.

Everyone who enters is heading to a forbidden area that the Daoist tradition has explored before.

Today, every small world is filled with countless geniuses from the Three Thousand Continents, all vying for opportunities.

"Wow, it's been two and a half years since I came to Xian Gu. Time flies!" Qi Shi'an said with emotion as he walked through an ancient city.

He had been practicing meditation so much that he had almost forgotten about time and was completely unaware of the passage of years.

"You little devil, you've accomplished so much in just two and a half years, and you're already feeling all excited!" The Blood God Tree scoffed, filled with contempt for the little devil's habit of subtly showing off.

"You don't understand my humor. By the way, do you know anything about the history of this city?"

Qi Shi'an strolled leisurely with the demonic corpse Yuan Tong. The streets were crowded with natives and cultivators from the Three Thousand States.

Since entering this ancient city, he has met many cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces, all of whom have now become gods.

Two and a half years have passed, and most of the geniuses who entered the Immortal Ancient Realm have ignited their divine fire, and their cultivation has become powerful. Many of them have found their own destiny.

"This city is called Tianlin City, a place where cultivators exchange information," the Blood God Tree slowly explained to Qi Shi'an.

This land is rich in spiritual herbs, and it is not surprising to find sacred herbs. If one's luck is strong enough, it is not impossible to obtain the Heavenly God Fruit and Bodhi Fruit recorded in the Bone Book and ascend to heaven in one step.

Millions of cultivators entered the Immortal Ancient Realm together, and they also communicated with each other. Sometimes they needed to exchange magical artifacts, herbs, and even information about caves and secret places.

Tianlin City prospered because of this, and countless cultivators often traded in the city.

In fact, Tianlin City has existed for a long time. Every time the Immortal Ancient City opens, it becomes a bustling place and an important market town.

Some cultivators who were unwilling to take risks and whose cultivation was relatively weak settled here, not seeking fortune, but content to run their businesses here.

The rare and precious materials they obtain are not necessarily less than those who gain experience outside.

Moreover, tens of thousands of miles away from this city, there is a cave dwelling, where it is said to possess supreme magical techniques, which is why so many people are stationed here.

However, over the years, no one has been able to successfully obtain that precious technique. Some have even raised doubts, claiming that the cave is nothing at all, but rather a scheme devised by certain individuals to lure cultivators into entering and perform blood sacrifices for cultivation.

This kind of thing often happens every time the Immortal Ancient Realm opens, so this inference is not unfounded.

"The Tianlin Realm is really big; there are so many ancient cities."

Qi Shi'an sighed, carefully examining the ancient map he had bought. It recorded no fewer than a hundred ancient cities, scattered across different regions, all of which were important gathering places for cultivators to exchange 'fortune'.

If even a small world is like this, one can't even imagine how many ancient cities there are in all the ancient realms.

However, Tianlin City, like Bright City in the Bright Realm, should be one of the ten largest ancient cities.

On the way, the people traveling together were heading to the largest shop in the city to exchange for rare medicines, cultivation techniques, sacred materials, and so on.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that a few days ago, Huang, who had disappeared for half a year, reappeared and killed a group of gods in a panic as soon as he returned."

"I've also heard that even Ning Chuan, the six-time champion who possesses the remains of a true immortal, is no match for him!"

"Really?! Has Huang become this powerful? He couldn't even defeat the Six-Crown King, so who in the Immortal Ancient Realm can defeat him?"

"Invincible my ass. That Huang was able to kill a god, but he only did so by borrowing the power of the heavenly tribulation. Moreover, what killed the Six-Crown King was just a spiritual body. Once the Six-Crown King emerges from seclusion, he will definitely take action to suppress this sinful blood."

On the way, many people were chatting casually about the major events that had happened in the past six months.
