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

Qi Shi'an sneered. This so-called lord was nothing more than a god, not as terrifying as he had imagined.

"How dare you underestimate me!"

Luo Mu roared angrily, his eyes shining brightly and transforming into two stars, one the sun and the other the moon. Then, a strange aura burst forth from his entire being.

boom!

An immense power swept across the heavens and earth, surging towards Qi Shi'an with unparalleled ferocity.

Those were two immortal seeds, now fully evolved, embracing each other in yin and yang, transforming into a small universe that directly suppressed everything below.

"break!"

Qi Shi'an extended his palm, unleashing a multitude of divine runes. In an instant, it was as if ten thousand demons were surging forth, each rune as large as a small mountain. Demonic dragons, blood phoenixes, ink unicorns, nine-necked wolves... they all bore the marks of their races, roaring forth in a mighty and extremely lifelike manner.

This is a unique skill he created by combining the essence of many precious techniques: Ten Thousand Demons Patrol the Heavens!

At this moment, the sky and the ground were filled with demonic light, and demonic shadows were everywhere. Ten thousand demons surged forward, exuding overwhelming demonic power. The scene was terrifying, and the mere aura they exuded shattered the void.

This collision erupted here like a thousand thunderbolts, deafeningly loud.

That small universe was shattered by the myriad demons, and one star after another was destroyed and vanished.

puff!

Luo Mu was sent flying. Although he was formed from essence, energy, and spirit and did not have a real physical body, he was still coughing, as if he was spitting out large amounts of blood.

"Your essence and spirit are barely at the level of a Heavenly God, so your physical body must not be much better."

After saying that, Qi Shi'an raised his hand and pointed, and the power of Taiyin burst forth from his fingertip. A sinister and cold aura spread out, and his finger instantly enlarged, becoming as black as ink, like the finger of a demon god, seemingly capable of destroying everything.

This is one of the two powers of the Kunpeng Technique, different from the unparalleled secret techniques of the Immortal Palace, because this is the true power of Taiyin, which can be integrated into all supernatural powers and transformed into an extremely powerful strike. Even if a god is invincible, he will perish if he is hit by it.

puff!

This finger strike was too fast and too sharp, instantly causing Luo Mu's brow to explode and his entire avatar to shatter, turning into a shower of light, without giving him any chance to struggle.

"One day, I will truly rule this land, and then none of you will survive!"

Luo Mu's avatar disintegrated and disappeared, but his true form still exists. If a great war breaks out in the future, he will surely be able to reappear.

“Even if my true form comes, my defeated opponent will still be doomed,” Qi Shi’an said domineeringly.

With the altar destroyed, the place returned to tranquility, a passage was blocked, and one less source of worry for the future.

Chapter 224 Yin Sha Sea Area

Qi Shi'an and the witch set off together towards the final forbidden city.

Legend has it that it was an imperial city, magnificent and grand, suppressing the borderlands and protecting the peace of three thousand prefectures.

These things are rarely circulated in the Three Thousand Provinces, and they only heard about them after they came to the depths of the forbidden zone.

"Waaah..."

Before a vast ocean, a strange sound rang out, causing all kinds of creatures to tremble in fear, and even the ferocious beasts and birds of prey on the road knelt on the ground.

Deep within this restricted area, there is surprisingly an endless expanse of blue sea.

A conch shell faintly appears in the sea, chirping to itself, its ripples causing the vast ocean to undulate and the waves to crash against the sky.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded: the sky exploded open, the earth sank, and all sorts of ferocious beasts and birds of prey cried out in the void as they plummeted down, stirring up endless storms.

This sight is simply unbelievable and incomprehensible!

Qi Shi'an opened his Heavenly Eye, wanting to see what it was, only to find that it was just a mark, not something that was actually happening.

"In the war of the last era, when the horns sounded, this was the scene: mountains collapsed, seas churned, and the stars trembled." The witch spoke slowly, recounting the records she had seen in the bone book.

Moreover, there were more than just one or two such conch shell horns; one can imagine how grand the scene must have been—horns resounding to the heavens, the universe in turmoil.

That was not the real battle, but merely the prelude to the great war.

The real war might be just like what Qi Shi'an saw in the Ancestral Land of the God-Slaying Stone—a true war of kings, a war to destroy worlds!

"The great battle is coming soon. The imprint left by this bugle call is a sign that that day is not far away." Qi Shi'an's expression was slightly heavy.

Chi!

Just then, sword energies suddenly rose from the sea, each one cleaving through heaven and earth, its light incredibly thick and illuminating eternity.

This is not a mark, it's a real attack!

Qi Shi'an and the witch quickly dodged, retreating tens of thousands of miles to avoid the raging sea. The sword energy grazed their clothes and sliced ​​off entire mountain peaks.

As for the high sky, there were countless sword energies, chaotic swords piercing the sky, and meteorites falling from the outer realms.

The two looked at each other, still shaken. If they hadn't been able to avoid it, they would have been reduced to ashes.

Qi Shi'an frowned, summoning the Martial Heavenly Sword above his head to guard himself and prevent any further attacks from falling and becoming difficult to defend against.

"This sea area is too dangerous. There might be fragments of immortal artifacts buried there. What we just saw might be the result of those fragments reviving." Qi Shi'an frowned slightly and stared at the sea.

The witch nodded, agreeing with Qi Shi'an's words. After all, they had seen the horn mark ring out on its own, which indicated that this place must have been an ancient battlefield in the previous era. The presence of ancient artifacts left behind made this sea area seem extraordinary.

This sea is impassable; one can only go around it.

As they passed through a city, they questioned some creatures and confirmed that it was an ancient battlefield.

The sea is full of strange occurrences, and few can survive it safely. Even a powerful cult leader would surely die, unable to withstand that heaven-piercing sword.

There aren't many cities deep within the forbidden zone, but each one has its own unique characteristics and is home to countless masters.

The sea stretched for countless miles, and Qi Shi'an and the witch traveled around it, walking along the coast for more than half a month without reaching the end, and they encountered danger from time to time.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On their journey, Qi Shi'an and the witch encountered danger several times, but they survived each time without serious injury.

In fact, not only them, but even the descendants of peerless masters living deep in the forbidden zone rarely undertake this long journey, because the more they learn, the more they realize how dangerous this place is.

Finally, having bypassed the sea, they traveled swiftly forward, with only one destination in mind: the so-called forbidden imperial city.

Only by reaching that place can one enter the Heavenly God Academy, further cultivate, achieve rise, and become even stronger.

Qi Shi'an gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Those three supreme beings are always looking for trouble. They make us suffer even when there's no hardship."

If we had found treasure, that would have been fine, but after walking for so long, all we've seen is danger, and we haven't even seen a trace of treasure.

The yellow immortal gold he obtained earlier in the ancestral land of the God-Slaying Stone was already the strongest treasure he had acquired; he had not encountered any other immortal treasures, scriptures, or divine medicines.

"Why is it that I have such bad luck when I'm with you? Did your bad luck infect me?"

The witch encountered an ancient teleportation array without much effort, thus arriving directly at the ancient city.

But ever since she met Qi Shi'an, let alone teleportation arrays, even finding a single spiritual herb has been considered extremely lucky. No wonder she couldn't help but complain, suspecting that Qi Shi'an was having a run of bad luck and had passed it on to her.

"How can you blame me? I'm a victim too."

Qi Shi'an was unconvinced, and sometimes he couldn't help but sigh that luck was also a kind of strength.

Unfortunately, his luck is unpredictable; for example, he is currently experiencing a period of bad luck.

For others, venturing into uninhabited areas is a high-risk, high-reward endeavor, but for him, it's a high-risk, low-reward endeavor.

However, having come this far, we must continue forward, boldly and relentlessly.

Soon after, they saw a dark expanse covering the land, stretching as far as the eye could see.

What is this? Is it another sea?

Qi Shi'an and the witch stared blankly. Looking out, they saw a vast, magnificent black ocean churning, and a chilling aura rushed towards them, a sight that was truly awe-inspiring.

In this place, the flowers, trees, and grass have long since disappeared, and the mountains no longer exist. It is a cold and ancient place, eerily quiet, like a ghostly realm.

That sea is filled with malevolent energy!

It was so vast, with no end in sight, a dark, boundless expanse, the seawater surging and as black as ink.

"Where is this?"

The two were dumbfounded. This Yin Sha Sea was far too vast. It was one thing for it to condense into lakes and rivers, but this was a sea!

This time, they did not choose to take a detour because they saw a broken stele nearby with inscriptions indicating that there was no great danger here, but rather a possible opportunity.

The two flew across the Black Sea at high speed.

boom!

A gigantic, dark beast, writhing in a cold light, lunged at Qi Shi'an and his companion.

This is a fish, a giant fish that emits a jet-black light with a hint of blue, swimming in the Yin Sha Sea. It is enormous, like a small mountain.

"This is a Yin fish!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes lit up, and he was practically drooling.

This type of yin fish contains a rich divine substance and is an extremely rare creature.

Unfortunately, the being that had been a god for many years possessed keen divine senses. When it saw a giant hand reaching out to grab it, it immediately shrank and sank into the pitch-black sea, disappearing swiftly.

Qi Shi'an frowned, wrapped his arms with the power of the Kunpeng, and plunged straight into the Yin Sha Sea, stirring it violently, but he got nothing.

“There are remnants of a magic array on the seabed that blocked my divine sense.”

"The stone tablet says there's no great danger, but that's only relative. Of course, if it was left by a supreme being, then disregard what I said," the witch said languidly.

The two exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss. If the message came from someone above the cult leader, it wouldn't necessarily be a smooth path for ordinary people.

"Who cares? We're already here. At worst, I'll just use a magical artifact to escape. Besides, with my strength, roaming freely here won't be a problem," Qi Shi'an said with a grin.

"You're still so arrogant. Aren't you going to do anything about me? I'm not as strong as you," the witch said in a coquettish voice.

"Don't give me that. You're the most cunning vixen. You're definitely hiding something. Let me search you. If you don't have anything, I'll protect you." Qi Shi'an chuckled.

The witch's eyebrows furrowed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Die!"

Several days later, as they traveled to a certain part of the sea, a terrifying giant claw suddenly emerged from the sea. It was a huge skeleton that shattered the void.

The two were terrified and used a secret technique to move sideways, then quickly fled.

They sensed that the skeleton was too powerful; even the cult leader would likely be knocked down.

This was just a skeleton, because only a faint light flickered in its skull, proving that it did not yet have pure consciousness, but only a hazy glimmer of soul light.

Its power stems from the skeleton itself, which stands over ten thousand feet tall in the Taiyin Sea, somewhat bewildered, only wanting to capture Qi Shi'an and the witch.

boom!

The skull thrust out a palm, shattering the heavens and earth.

"Certainly!"

The witch made her move, summoning a stone bead that forcefully blocked the pale, outstretched hand that it had once again reached out.

Qi Shi'an also unleashed the Martial Heavenly Sword, blocking the skeleton's attack.

"This must be a terrifying creature that died in battle in the previous era. Its skeleton alone could easily annihilate gods. I can't even imagine how powerful it would be if it had flesh and blood." The witch's heart trembled.

Qi Shi'an nodded. This skeleton was indeed ridiculously strong. In his lifetime, it was very likely that he was a powerful being at the Self-Severing Realm or the Escape Realm.

"Eternity has passed, and even the skeleton remains intact. It's truly astonishing," Qi Shi'an sighed softly.

Soon after, they saw a reef in the Taiyin Sea, which was inscribed with ancient characters, serving as a warning to future generations.

"The Netherworld Sea!"

Qi Shi'an frowned. There was danger ahead. According to the inscription on the reef, it was a place with extremely heavy Yin energy and resentment. There was a high possibility of danger.

Qi Shi'an opened his Heavenly Eye, hoping to see what was going on. He saw a surging black sea, and on the seabed, there seemed to be some skeletons lying there. They were even more terrifying and frightening than the skeleton that he had seen before, which was tens of thousands of feet tall. The evil aura was astonishing.

"This place is too strange. It's nothing like what the broken stele described. That skeleton we just saw was the weakest one yet."

Qi Shi'an discovered that these underwater skeletons had all died horribly; some had their skulls pierced, some had their heads pierced, and some had been torn apart by five horses...

The intensity of the malevolent aura emanating from these skeletons varied. The most powerful of them was a skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center. It was not tall, but a towering blood-red light surged from its crown, and its malevolent aura created a bizarre phenomenon of mountains of corpses and seas of blood around it.

This left the two of them utterly shocked.

A skeleton that has been dead for countless years can still exude a murderous aura and condense into an incredibly terrifying spectacle of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Is this the powerful figure who participated in the great battle back then?

terrible!

It's hard to imagine just how brutal the battle was back then; this was only the tip of the iceberg!

Chapter 225 Arrival in the Imperial City

This Yin Sha Sea is vast; the area that Qi Shi'an and the witch have traversed alone is tens of thousands of miles.

Amazing phenomena can be seen erupting from time to time on the seabed, causing the sea to roar and waves to crash against the sky.
