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

When the Dragon Girl saw Huo Ling'er arrive, she immediately stood up to greet her.

“Sister Long, I’m also unwilling to go with this fool.” Huo Ling’er smiled and then looked at Qi Shi’an, clasped her hands together and said solemnly, “Qi Shi’an, thank you very much this time. I owe you a big favor.”

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and smiled broadly, "There's no need for that. We come from the same realm, so we should support each other. Besides, you can leave this big favor for your silly husband to repay me."

Upon hearing the words "husband," Huo Ling'er's cheeks flushed red, but she obediently moved closer to Shi Hao.

"When I find the immortal treasure in the future, I will definitely study it with you as soon as possible." Shi Hao's lips curled up slightly, and then he looked around and sighed, "However, speaking of which, there are really a lot of people here."

The number of people here is not small now, although it is still far fewer than when we entered the Immortal Ancient Ruins, because this journey was too dangerous, destined to be a matter of life and death, and not many people could survive.

Yet tens of thousands of people still came, all wanting to gamble with their fate.

Hey, over here!

In the crowd, the four saw a fat man waving frantically; it was Cao Yusheng.

Here, Qi Shi'an also saw some familiar faces, such as Lin Yu from Tianxian Academy, Yue Chan from Butian Sect, and the witch from Jietian Sect; they had all come.

The moment the witch saw Qi Shi'an, her bright, mischievous eyes sparkled, her lips curved slightly upward, revealing her pearly teeth and alluring red lips.

In addition, there are some geniuses who emerged from the immortal lineage, all of whom are Qi Shi'an's enemies.

They all looked at Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao with hostility. Before coming out, the leader had spoken with them privately.

If you encounter the Desolate One or the Demon Lord, kill them by any means necessary!

In addition, upon closer inspection, among the tens of thousands of people, there are many outstanding individuals with extraordinary status and position, making for an extremely powerful lineup.

"I'll say it again, this mission is fraught with danger and death. You should think it over carefully. It's not too late to back out now!" the gray-robed middle-aged man said, giving a final reminder.

Despite the commotion, no one backed down.

"Okay, let's begin!"

On the low hill, the middle-aged man in blue suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves, and a strong wind swept through the sky. A dazzling light appeared in the no-man's-land, transforming into a golden road that rushed forward.

"This is the road. Keep going, and as long as you persevere, you will find that ancient city!"

As he waved his sleeves, countless symbols rose up in that forbidden area, as if they had been activated, and the long-sealed ancient road was opened to welcome the trial-takers of the new era.

"Senior, have you walked this road before?" the immortal asked.

“I have never traveled this road, but I have other ways to enter that ancient city,” said the middle-aged man in blue.

"Tch, bragging again, shameless old man." Qi Shi'an muttered under his breath, but apart from the few people around him, no one else present heard him.

However, given the level of cultivation of the middle-aged man in blue, how could such whispers escape his notice?

His face immediately darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead.

If he absolutely had to take charge of the event, he would definitely rush down, grab the little devil, and give his backside a good beating.

Upon hearing the Supreme Being's words, many people present turned pale and lost all color. Even this Supreme Being hadn't passed by, yet he wanted them to move forward? Wasn't this sending them to their deaths?

I'm quitting!

No one had quit before, but now tens of thousands of people have quit one after another and are no longer moving forward.

Is anyone else still alive?

The three supreme beings all stood up, their gazes sweeping intently over the crowd.

After waiting for a while, no one left.

"Alright, in that case, let's get going."

The three supreme beings cast their spells together, and the place was filled with soaring smoke and clouds. The bone inscriptions were like a vast ocean, sending everyone onto the ancient golden road.

Hold my hand tightly.

Shi Hao's expression was serious. He held Huo Ling'er tightly, and the talismans bursting from his palms transformed into golden willow branches, binding their hands together.

"Shi Hao, Qi Shi'an, over here!" the chubby boy Cao Yusheng shouted.

However, he was destined to be disappointed. After the three supreme beings made their move, everyone turned into a rain of light and disappeared into the forbidden area with a crackling sound.

The people separated, with few people standing next to each other; they were all scattered along this ancient road.

This road is 8,000 miles wide and its length is unimaginable, stretching all the way to the deepest part of the no-man's land!

Some people are already millions of miles away, while others are just getting started. This is due to the combined efforts of the three supreme beings, who used their great powers to separate them.

However, whether it was a mistake or fate, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er were actually in almost the same position.

The two were only a few thousand miles apart. Shi Hao used the Kunpeng Technique to shrink the distance between them, and he could reach them in just two steps.

"Damn it, Little Dot and Fire Spirit can be thousands of miles apart, but why am I and Dragon Girl a million miles apart? This is discrimination!"

Qi Shi'an gritted his teeth, because he was the one who was just starting out, while the Dragon Girl was someone who was a million miles away.

He strongly suspected that this was the work of that old man in blue. Purely out of revenge, he wanted to file a complaint and take a petition to the righteous magistrate!

This distance of a million miles is no longer a matter of taking a few steps; damn it, even if he didn't sleep or rest, it would take him three days and three nights to walk there.

"You old geezer, remember this."

Qi Shi'an took a step forward and started moving at high speed from the starting point.

On the low hill, the three supreme beings watched the genius head to the ancient city. The middle-aged man in blue robes beside him looked rather smug, as if he had avenged his great grudge.

"You've already resorted to tricks, haven't you? Aren't you afraid that the boy will find out and cause you trouble later?"

The middle-aged man in white robes glanced sideways, clearly believing that the young man in black robes had a very high chance of passing.

With two celestial artifacts protecting him, even a fool would have a 50% chance of survival, let alone that demonic youth.

"Hmph, just a minor punishment to make him show off in front of me. We'll deal with the future later."

The middle-aged man in blue hummed a tune, showing no air of superiority whatsoever, but rather the smugness of a petty person who had achieved success.

"Hey, from what I've heard, he's a thief. You'd better be careful with your treasure vault in the future, or it might disappear in the blink of an eye," the white-robed middle-aged man warned.

Stepping into this ancient land, Qi Shi'an felt as if he had entered a desolate Gobi Desert rather than a dense forest.

It's so quiet here, like being in a secluded primeval forest.

Despite the towering ancient trees and lush vegetation, there was not a sound to be heard; no birds could be seen, no beasts could be roared, and not even an ant could be found.

This place is eerie, but this is the most authentic no-man's-land.

Apart from myself, there is no trace of any living creature that has ever lived here, at least not yet.

Qi Shi'an opened his Heavenly Eye and cautiously surveyed his surroundings, not letting any anomaly slip by, because in this area, even a handful of yellow earth or a drop of water could kill the cult leader.

"what······"

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the dense forest, almost echoing through the heavens and earth. With Qi Shi'an's divine sense, he felt that the scream came from a hundred miles away.

Qi Shi'an frowned, and with a swift movement, he rushed towards the direction from which the sound came from, like a streak of light.

However, to his surprise, what seemed like a distance of only a hundred miles turned out to be a thousand miles away.

The scene before my eyes was horrifying; more than a dozen corpses lay in pools of blood on the ground.

They all had a common bloody hole in their left chest, as if some strange creature had ripped out their hearts.

Qi Shi'an's gaze turned cold. What was that thing? It was far too strange; even his divine sense couldn't detect it.

Chi!

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind an ancient tree, and then a bloody palm struck from there.

Qi Shi'an swayed and dodged the attack. The blood palm slammed down and crushed a nearby mountain into dust.

"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to attack this Demon Lord?"

Qi Shi'an held the Heavenly Demon Halberd and wore True Demon Armor, guarding against all directions.

"Hehe..."

A chilling laugh rang out, carrying an air of fearlessness.

Then, an ancient language, never heard before, echoed through the dense forest, carrying immense malice.

Qi Shi'an couldn't understand it, but he could sense its divine intent.

"Indeed, the heart and liver here are the most delicious. After a dream of ten thousand years, I have just woken up to find so much food. I am truly lucky!"

These words made Qi Shi'an feel nauseous. What kind of being was it?

A dream spanning ten thousand years—could it be that this thing has been dormant for millennia?!

At this moment, his muscles tensed up, his hair stood on end, and he felt as if he were being watched by a monstrous beast lurking in the shadows. He was on high alert, and the sense of danger made his heart pound.

What the hell is this thing?

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed. His Myriad Paths Heavenly Eye could see through illusions and directly look at the origin. He saw a bloody mess hiding behind the ancient tree.

hum!

However, in the next instant, the bloody mass burst forth from the dense forest like a bolt of lightning, moving with ghostly speed, carrying an overwhelming stench of blood and a chilling eeriness, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced on Qi Shi'an from behind.

Qi Shi'an remained calm. His entire body blazed with a blood-black divine light, and wielding the Heavenly Demon Halberd, he swept it backward. Thousands of halberd shadows flew out, all formed from runes, engulfing the area behind him.

boom!

The void exploded, a deafening roar shook heaven and earth, boulders flew through the air, and the surrounding ancient trees were instantly crushed into dust.

The creature staggered backward and flew a hundred feet, revealing its true form.

It was a blood-red arm, nearly ten meters long, as thick as a stone pillar, and entirely crimson. Its skin was covered with countless eyeballs, some as small as pinholes and others as large as copper bells. When they opened and closed, they emitted eerie blood light, revealing a greedy, violent, and man-eating ferocity.

However, what is most striking is the horrifying wound on the blood-red arm, in which lies half a broken silver blade, already rusted.

Qi Shi'an clenched his fists around the Heavenly Demon Halberd, a cold glint appearing between his brows. He said sternly, "It's disgusting, it makes me want to vomit."

"Heh... kid, you're more cunning than those before, and I bet your heart and liver are even more delicious!"

The blood-red giant arm spoke in a hoarse, grating voice, filled with a greedy lust for flesh and blood. In an instant, the small eyeballs on the arm opened simultaneously, shooting out beams of scarlet light, carrying a chilling killing intent, as if to drag Qi Shi'an into a blood-red hell.

"The filth of the sewers."

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent, neither dodging nor avoiding. He suddenly swept the Heavenly Demon Halberd horizontally, and instantly, endless demonic energy surged and transformed into countless demonic halberds that roared out, carrying the power of annihilation, and crashed fiercely into those beams of light.

Boom!

The heavens and earth roared, the void shattered, and most of the crimson beam was annihilated by the demonic halberd, but the remaining crimson beam was still ferocious and devastating, heading straight for his vital points.

At the same time, Qi Shi'an raised his left hand, and a burst of runes erupted from his palm, transforming into a true phoenix soaring through the sky. Its crimson-gold phoenix feathers shone brightly, and the true phoenix fire around its body surged, confronting the scarlet beam of light.

In an instant, the two extreme forces collided, unleashing an unparalleled brilliance in the void.

In an instant, nothing could be seen except for the phoenix fire and the crimson light; everything else was obscured.

As these attacks subsided, Qi Shi'an retreated several dozen feet, his blood churning within him, and a corner of his battle armor was torn. However, he was not injured, as the True Demon Armor had blocked many of the attacks for him.

The blood-red arm was scorched by a wisp of True Phoenix Fire, and wisps of white smoke immediately rose from its surface. However, the greed and killing intent in its densely packed eyeballs did not diminish, but instead became even stronger.

Chapter 220 The Buried, Desolate Land

In the void, a blood-red arm covered in eyeballs hung suspended, a bloody mess with charred marks on it. Countless eyeballs rolled, carrying a chilling killing intent.

"The True Phoenix's Secret Technique!"

The blood-red arm spoke in a very strange ancient language, which Qi Shi'an naturally couldn't understand, but he could perceive its meaning through its divine sense.

"Those scum from other lands are truly learned."

"Kid, I'm older than all the hairs you've plucked out of your body put together," the blood-red arm said coldly.

boom!

All the eyeballs on the blood-red arm opened and closed, shooting out scarlet beams of light that transformed into countless tiny threads that wrapped around Qi Shi'an.

This is a strange supernatural power of alien beings. It can penetrate the physical body and directly attack the soul. Once entangled, the soul will be slowly corroded and devoured until it becomes their nourishment.

Qi Shi'an looked solemn and dared not be careless. He formed a hand seal, and various divine runes appeared in the void. Then, phoenix fire surged between heaven and earth, pouring down like a torrential rain.

Then, behind him, the endless divine culture manifested as thousands upon thousands of phantom phoenixes, each containing various ultimate mysteries, including the Nine Nether Beasts, true dragons, and Kunpeng... all of which were the precious techniques he cultivated.

"A myriad of phoenixes cry out in unison!"

With a sharp shout, thousands of true phoenixes cried out simultaneously, their Daoist sounds rumbling and countless sound waves intertwining to form a destructive sonic storm.

At the same time, the phoenix fire spewed out by thousands of true phoenixes was like a boundless sea of ​​fire.

The sonic storm and the sea of ​​fire intertwined, instantly burning away the blood-red threads and rapidly spreading across the sky, burning towards the blood-red arm.
