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

Immediately afterwards, Qi Shi'an, like a fierce tiger, burst forth with blood-black divine light, enveloping the void, and charged into the formation wielding the Heavenly Demon Halberd.

Every pullback and every swing of the Heavenly Demon Halberd contained extreme killing power, and the movements were so fast that they were difficult to see.

In an instant, the blood-black demonic light surged forth. Even before it got close, it terrified the group of gods. It was too terrifying. Not only were their weapons cleanly and decisively cut into several pieces, but their mounts were also cut in half at the waist!

"Aww..."

A man opened his mouth and produced a gray-black talisman. It had nothing particularly special about it, but when the Demon Halberd fell, it exploded like a black sun, leaving the place in ruins and utter chaos.

Qi Shi'an's blood surged. This was the first time he had been hindered when facing a god-level combatant and was unable to kill him instantly.

This talisman has such power!

"kill!"

The next moment, demonic energy enveloped the heavens and earth, reflecting endless demonic light. A demonic halberd shot out like a true dragon, tearing open a huge gap in the void wherever it passed, and went straight towards the group of gods!

Puff! Puff! Puff...

The sounds of divine weapons piercing flesh were continuous, so fast that it was impossible to tell which was which.

Under this single strike, all the gods were severed at the waist by absolute power. Their physical bodies and primordial spirits were instantly obliterated by this domineering force, leaving not even a trace behind.

In the end, none of them could understand why a young boy could possess such strength. He wasn't a god, yet he could easily kill a god as easily as crushing an ant.

"Vulnerable!"

Qi Shi'an snorted coldly. His black robe was spotless. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"We'll wipe you out sooner or later, you foreign land!"

In the next instant, Qi Shi'an transformed into a wisp of smoke and stepped into the depths of the forbidden zone.

Half a month later, Qi Shi'an had traveled countless miles and crossed countless mountains and dense forests before finally entering a strange place.

From a great distance, he saw a colossal city on the horizon, magnificent and vast, imposing and majestic, like an imperial capital sitting there.

This is a plain, with ancient trees, but they are very sparse. The ground is dry and hard, and there are no mountains to block it. Therefore, the city built here appears even more majestic and imposing.

"Finally, we can see the city!"

Qi Shi'an was excited. Even though he knew it was just a transit city, it was still much better than encountering something strange. At least he could see people.

Moreover, once we find this place, it means we are not far from the real imperial city!

Qi Shi'an smiled broadly and rushed over eagerly.

On the plain, ancient trees are sparse, but they are all very tall, each one hundreds of feet high, like one green hill after another.

As he approached the ancient city, he heard a variety of noises, and the volume was quite loud.

"There are still quite a few people."

Qi Shi'an looked around and found that many people here did not have high cultivation levels, and there were even Venerables among them.

In such a strange city, it is rare to see a cultivator with such weak strength.

It should be noted that the place they were in was an ancient city in a no-man's-land, a place where even a sect leader risked death if he entered, let alone these weak Venerables.

However, he was not surprised, because this city was formed by the disciples and descendants of some peerless masters who entered the imperial city to fulfill the ancient covenant and settled in this region.

When he came to a shop, he saw a familiar face.

The person was still as quirky as ever, strolling leisurely down the street, looking every bit like someone who was there for leisure.

"Witch, you've arrived early. Are you preparing to welcome this Demon Lord?"

A familiar voice appeared behind the witch. She turned around abruptly, somewhat surprised, a ripple appearing in her beautiful eyes, but her mouth remained sharp as she mocked, "Pah, you little devil, you're always taking advantage of me."

"Then why are you strolling around so leisurely, looking like you're not in a hurry to go to that city? I really can't think of anything else besides you waiting for me," Qi Shi'an teased.

"What do you know? I'm just waiting for an opportunity. It's said there's a Qilin egg in this area," the witch said.

Qi Shi'an suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that there was a white Qilin waiting for someone here.

However, the person that the Qilin was waiting for seemed to be a rabbit; it was clear that it wouldn't be their turn.

"Forget it, that Qilin recognizes people, none of you can take it away," Qi Shi'an said thoughtfully.

"How do you know we can't take it? What if we can? It's a pure-blooded Qilin! Once it reaches adulthood, its combat power will be unparalleled, and it will be the bravest in the world." The witch smiled brightly, her eyes shining.

"Listen to me. Even if you stay, you won't get it. Just come with me to that imperial city in the borderlands."

Qi Shi'an told her firmly that there was no hope of getting the little Qilin.

"Are you so sure?" the witch asked doubtfully.

“Even if the success rate is 100%, you still won’t get it even if you have a 100% chance,” Qi Shi’an said calmly.

The witch looked at him, her eyes sparkling with a crystalline light. After a moment, she said decisively, "In that case, let's go. Let's go to the borderlands, to that imperial city."

"You're quite decisive. Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Qi Shi'an said with a grin.

"I'm afraid, you little devil, your words are the least trustworthy." The witch was very relaxed, her big eyes darting around, and she stretched her slender waist nonchalantly, appearing extremely lazy, and said, "But my intuition tells me that you are trustworthy this time."

Qi Shi'an rolled his eyes, speechless. How could someone as sincere as him have such a bad reputation? There must be someone talking badly about him behind his back and ruining his reputation.

This time, the two set off together, leaving the giant city and venturing deeper into the forbidden zone.

"Someone is catching up!"

After traveling tens of thousands of miles, the sound of galloping iron cavalry came from behind. A group of more than a dozen powerful people, with bloodshot eyes, like ferocious beasts, and filled with overwhelming killing intent, pursued them here.

The witch was startled. She had learned a lot about the situation in the giant city. In recent years, the terrifying energy overflowing from the borderlands had driven some people mad, or more precisely, corrupted them and caused them to lose their minds.

"It seems there's a serious problem deep within this forbidden zone. I suspect many powerful individuals have been corrupted. They dare to pursue us so openly, which shows just how formidable they are," the witch said solemnly.

"Heh, who knows if these people are passively corrupted or actively making contact?" Qi Shi'an's eyes narrowed, revealing a meaningful smile.

It was obvious that these people had a shortcut, allowing them to travel at breakneck speed while Qi Shi'an and his group faced various dangers.

Otherwise, given their speed, they would be no match for Qi Shi'an; they wouldn't even be able to see his shadow.

"So you're the one who killed the fourteenth team?"

Across from him, the leader stared coldly at Qi Shi'an.

A fierce glint flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes as he sneered, "You mean that bunch of good-for-nothings? They can't even withstand my ordinary attacks. They're truly incapable of shouldering any great responsibility."

"If you become our enemy, you will find it impossible to move an inch in this restricted area!"

The leader's voice was hoarse and cold, and behind him, more than a dozen people drew their weapons.

"Then let's see how good you are!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his murderous intent was fully revealed.

"We know you're powerful, capable of killing fourteen teams. We may not be your match, but you still won't survive!"

The leader spoke, and then began chanting ancient phrases, as if performing a ritual.

"Please welcome Your Excellency!" someone said.

Just then, a crack appeared in a nearby rocky mountain, revealing a blood-red altar. It was stained with blood, turning a bright red that was quite striking.

"No way?!"

The witch's expression changed drastically. Although she had heard that the borderlands were unstable, she had not expected it to be this bad.

But when he turned his head, he saw that Qi Shi'an's expression was still calm and composed, as if he had expected this situation.

"Aren't you worried?" the witch asked.

"What's the panic?"

"These people originally belonged to the Three Thousand Provinces, but they were corrupted by demons. However, the blood-red altar they have built may very well summon the most powerful beings from the borderlands!"

"What's there to be afraid of? We've encountered this before when we ventured into restricted areas, and I'm still alive and well." Qi Shi'an said calmly.

The group chanted incantations as they cut their wrists, offering sacrifices by baptizing the altar with the blood of the gods.

"Who is calling me? Can I go there in my true form?"

Just then, a lazy voice came from the altar, seemingly indifferent to everything, giving off an eerie feeling.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

The group of men bowed their heads and shouted in unison, their eyes turning even redder, as if stained with blood.

The demoness's expression was solemn, her eyes were incredibly deep, and she had completely suppressed her usual playfulness, now resembling a cold demoness!

She hadn't expected this day to come so soon; the crimson altar had already been built, allowing those on the other side to cross over.

At this moment, it became increasingly clear that the army on the other side had been preparing for many years. When they were to attack, there would be altars everywhere and countless troops. Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.

"Relax, they're not coming anytime soon." Qi Shi'an patted the witch on the shoulder, signaling her to relax, and said calmly, "However, this altar really shouldn't exist anymore."

"With me here, who dares to be so insolent!"

The voice emanating from the blood-red altar remained languid, completely disregarding the place.

"Pretending to be something you're not!"

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent as he slowly raised his arm. Mysterious Dao principles flowed between his fingers, and countless divine runes burst forth, instantly transforming into a gigantic demonic hand that descended.

Shockingly, within this demonic palm, six directions of heaven and earth were encircled, and a world resembling a demonic hell was formed in the palm, with the aura of the Great Dao rumbling and demonic sounds lingering, before it descended in an instant.

The six smaller worlds resembled six supreme demonic realms, each containing imprints of several combined magical techniques, such as the Nine Nether Hound, True Dragon, True Phoenix, Qilin, Heavenly Horned Ant, Thunder Emperor, and so on.

The six directions of heaven and earth shone brightly and began to rotate in an instant, unleashing unparalleled power. This fluctuation was so terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine, directly enveloping the altar and the group of people within it.

"What?! The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique?! No... no, it's just a technique that has its shadow. What kind of technique is this?!"

The man on the altar was no longer calm. A huge wave surged in his heart. The person who made the move seemed to be beyond his imagination. This person had integrated more than six precious techniques, and each one seemed to be a complete and flawless great technique!

Who is this person, so young yet possessing such abilities?

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique? Although it's very powerful, my technique will definitely become even stronger in the future!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes turned cold, and he gently clenched his fist, unleashing the full power of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art!

At this moment, the entire world was in an uproar, and the six directions of heaven and earth erupted with the most brilliant light, illuminating this area.

Boom!

The demonic hand descended, crashing down like a vast world, directly onto the altar. Cracks spread out, and crimson light shot into the sky from within.

Furthermore, those gods had their heads instantly shattered by the demonic hand, their bodies crushed into a pulp, and were completely annihilated, body and soul.

"No!"

The person on the altar screamed, and the entire altar was rapidly shattering. He gradually lost his connection to the altar, and his true form could no longer descend there.

It's obvious that this altar has a major problem and is incomplete; otherwise, the other side would have launched a full-scale attack long ago instead of secretly accumulating strength like this.

Click!

The array patterns on the altar shattered, but the person was still unwilling to give up: "How dare you destroy my altar of Luo Mu! I will go and kill you!"

Then, wisps of blood-red mist appeared one after another, and there emerged a creature, encased in blood-red metallic armor, which could only be discerned to be humanoid.

In the final moment before the altar collapsed, he conjured an avatar.

"Although it's not at its peak, and only a wisp of its avatar has come, it's enough to kill you!"

Luo Mu's avatar, formed from his essence, energy, and spirit, swooped down and attacked Qi Shi'an with ruthlessness and ferocity.

Rumble!

His palm strike was quite special; his five fingers suddenly turned pitch black, absorbing all the surrounding light, and even the mountains, rivers, and vegetation were greatly affected.

"With that name, you deserve your demise in this life!"

At the same moment, Qi Shi'an's fist unleashed a barrage of black demonic light and divine runes, instantly forming a killing field of Asura around him. The terrifying aura permeated the sky, causing people to tremble.

A figure in black robes raised his fist and unleashed a devastating attack, as if carrying a killing aura. The fierce and violent energy swept across the heavens and earth, causing even the witch to look up.

Rumble!

The palm, as black as an abyss, exerted overwhelming pressure, while the demonic fist, as domineering as an Asura, annihilated everything in its path. The two extreme forces collided, like needles clashing against wheat awns!

"You're not bad; you can contend with even a wisp of my avatar. You should be considered a supreme being!"

Luo Mu was somewhat surprised; he had no idea just how much power this avatar of his contained.

"How arrogant!"
