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

"Can't you sense the descendants of your enemies through blood? Why don't you give it a try?"

Qi Shi'an remained calm. He had not yet refined the corpse of the six-time champion Ning Chuan into a demonic corpse because he could not dispose of the drop of immortal true blood and could only seal it within Ning Chuan's body.

Dugu Yun frowned. He didn't believe this person could know about the family of his old enemy, but there was no harm in trying.

He slowly stepped forward and pierced Ning Chuan's corpse with a palm strike. The moment the blood touched his fingers, a strange aura surged into his heart.

Dugu Yun's expression changed drastically, quickly shifting from calm to shock, then to anger, and he raised his fist to strike Ning Chuan's head.

Upon seeing this, Qi Shi'an immediately retrieved the corpse and resealed it.

"What are you doing!" Dugu Yun's eyes blazed with anger.

The people around were puzzled as to why Dugu Yun's emotions fluctuated so much after seeing Ning Chuan's body. Was there some hidden reason?

"I'm sorry, this corpse is still useful to me, I can't let you destroy it like this."

Qi Shi'an paid no attention to Dugu Yun's anger. Ning Chuan's corpse was a condition for maintaining the stability of the Immortal True Blood and must not be destroyed.

"Besides, this is a dead man. If you want revenge, use the bloodstains on your hands to find him yourself." Qi Shi'an turned and left.

Dugu Yun looked down at his blood-stained right hand, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, although your ancestor was persecuted by a traitor, the real reason was that the darkness of the foreign land corrupted his invincible bloodline. In order not to harm all living beings, he chose to die. If you were in his shoes, what would you have chosen?"

Qi Shi'an transmitted his thoughts through divine sense, sending them from the sky into Dugu Yun's heart, causing her face to alternate between pale and flushed as she struggled incessantly.

A few days later, Dugu Yun was personally escorted by two elders to the Primordial Ancient Mine, causing quite a stir as people speculated about what he was going to do.

More than half a month later, news came back that something unusual had happened at the Taichu Ancient Mine.

"The descendant of the guardian entered that ancient mine and stayed there for several days before being flushed out by black blood!"

This caused a great uproar, and everyone at the Heavenly God Academy was shocked.

Several days after Dugu Yun entered the Taichu Ancient Mine, black blood appeared in the mine, gushing out of the mine's exit like an underground spring, shaking the world.

Dugu Yun emerged unharmed, following the black blood, his face ashen, silent. No one knew what he had seen or what he was thinking.

After he came out, the ancient mine returned to normal, the black blood disappeared, and the fishy smell did not dissipate for several days.

The disciples of the Heavenly God Academy were puzzled. What secrets did the ancient mine hold? Why was black blood gushing out? Did Dugu Yun know the great secret?

"Waaah..."

On this day, the fire rhinoceros horn sounded, its deep, muffled sound seeming to come from another world, carrying an ancient, weathered quality.

A silver warship tens of thousands of feet long rushed into the sky, flying towards an altar suspended above the Heavenly God Academy.

"Let's go, to Jiefen!"

The Second Elder personally led a group of prodigies to search for immortal seeds and achieve their own great paths.

Not only were Qi Shi'an, Shi Hao, Wang Xi, and others present, but even Dugu Yun was there, intending to enter the Boundary Tomb as well.

The altar glowed, and the silver warship blurred into nothingness from the void. Then they vanished from their spot, heading towards the so-called "World Tomb".

"Was the corpse you showed me that day a creature from your realm?"

On the warship, Dugu Yun suddenly asked Qi Shi'an if, besides sensing the aura of an enemy from the corpse that day, he also sensed a familiar aura.

I was blinded by hatred at the time and almost forgot it. Now that I think about it, it seems to be the immortal aura of another realm.

"Not bad. What, you want to know?" Qi Shi'an glanced at Dugu Yun.

Although the others remained silent, they all listened intently, secretly observing the two of them.

Dugu Yun remained silent for a long time before asking, "Was that person, like his ancestor, a traitor?"

Qi Shi'an smiled meaningfully and said, "Traitor? He's not even a being from this realm, so how can he be a traitor? Hasn't he always been loyal to the foreign land? He just doesn't know it himself."

"Xiao An, what did you say? Ning Chuan isn't a native of this realm?" Shi Hao was taken aback.

“Although Ning Chuan was born in this world, he was implanted with a drop of immortal true blood from a young age, which corrupted his bloodline into darkness. The aura he sensed that day was from that drop of immortal true blood,” Qi Shi’an explained.

These words shocked not only the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy, but also the elders.

"Immortal True Blood?! You mean that the corpse contained a drop of true immortal true blood?!" The Second Elder's voice suddenly rose.

"Hmm, a drop of immortal true blood filled with dark aura is very precious. If I could handle it temporarily, why would I have kept it sealed inside Ning Chuan's corpse?" Qi Shi'an shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

The elders were deeply shaken. Even though they were knowledgeable and had come into contact with immortal blood, they had never seen immortal true blood from another realm.

Since the end of the great war of the previous era, the Heavenly Abyss has separated the two realms, preventing those immortals from crossing over, and to this day, not a single drop of immortal true blood has appeared.

Unexpectedly, one person from the Three Thousand Provinces had obtained it, and it had even been corrupted, turning him into a spy from another land.

"This matter is of great importance. Once this matter is settled, we must investigate it thoroughly." The Second Elder said solemnly.

Soon, the warship entered a strange place. It was very desolate, with various broken and pristine places mixed together with huge stars. Many stars were only half left, broken and dilapidated, but they were still slowly rotating.

The silver warship traversed the endless universe, its hull covered in rust, as if it had traveled for hundreds of millions of years, bearing the marks of time's erosion.

Everyone was taken aback. They had been in a daze and exhausted during the journey, as if they had taken a long nap. When they came to their senses, the warship had already emerged from the void.

The silver warship glowed, with powerful and dense runes forming a light curtain; even so, the hull was still corroded.

As you continue deeper into the darkness, you can see many ruined ancient continents lying there, with countless large stars slowly rotating above them.

The dimly lit space and oppressive atmosphere made the place seem extremely eerie. No one knew what had happened; the deathly silence was chilling.

"Is this the boundary cemetery?"

The people on the warship looked surprised; it was too quiet, with many ancient sites all gathered together.

“This is only the edge of the boundary graveyard, not the true world graveyard,” an elder said.

Upon arriving at this place, they all became serious and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Suddenly, a strange sound came, like sand flowing, very light yet very real, coming from the distant ends of the earth.

Several elders looked up, their faces showing surprise. A disciple with the ability to see clearly was also gazing into the dim depths of the space.

"Sand is rolling in the void!"

Everyone was astonished. It was a sheet of fine sand, pure white and crystal clear, which did not fall onto the mainland and was untouched by worldly dust. It simply flowed across the high sky.

If you only glance at it briefly and don't look closely, you might mistake it for a lake, which is stunningly beautiful.

At this moment, the Second Elder's expression suddenly changed drastically, as if he had seen something extremely frightening, and he shouted, "Run!"

Before many people could react, several elders had already swiftly taken action, urging the warships to escape.

Many people on the warship looked back with puzzled and uncertain expressions, and were then shocked.

The sand grains scattered, covering the sky and the earth, each one incredibly bright, causing the surrounding stars to tremble.

A single grain of sand, yet heavier than a real star, emits a soft light that shakes apart all the broken stars.

Then, the grains of sand began to evolve, each one seemingly becoming a world, ever-changing, sometimes vibrant with life, sometimes lifeless, even reflecting countless creatures.

Finally, the sand suddenly erupted violently, shooting white sand everywhere, a stark contrast to the peaceful scene just moments before.

boom!

In that void, many large, rotating stars would shatter instantly if struck by a single grain of sand, bursting into dazzling, blinding light as stars exploded, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle.

On the warship, many disciples were terrified. If they had been a step later, wouldn't there have been disastrous consequences?

"Elder, what was that just now?" a disciple asked the elder.

“A fragmented seed of the universe!” the Second Elder replied.

The other elders suddenly realized that even they, powerful and knowledgeable, had never seen anything like it before.

"Seeds of the Universe?"

Many students were astonished, their eyes filled with hope and longing. They had come to the Boundary Tomb precisely to search for the Immortal Seed, and the Cosmic Seed was one of the most precious seeds.

"Don't overthink it. Those seeds are already damaged, but they have gathered many terrifying powers from this vast world, and no one can contain them," the Second Elder warned.

Such seeds can no longer transform; they possess only a mottled and complex power, accompanied by destruction, and lack the possibility of further growth.

Everyone was shocked and somewhat disappointed. They thought they had stumbled upon a powerful seed, but it turned out that it could not transform. How could they not sigh?

As the warship moved forward, more and more broken stars appeared around it, and ancient continents were layered upon each other, floating everywhere like leaves in a forest.

They moved quickly until wisps of mist appeared and a small amount of chaotic fog spread, at which point the elders reminded them that they had truly entered the Boundary Tomb.

Is this what it means to enter the boundary tomb?

Everyone was astonished; what they had just seen was nothing compared to what they could imagine what the real boundary tomb would be like.

Chaos dispersed like a wisp of celestial mist, and the warship sailed through it, entering the vast "ancient tomb".

"My God, what are all these things?" someone exclaimed as soon as they entered.

A withered ancient tree stood in front of us, its height unknown; even with the power of the Heavenly Eye, only a blurry outline could be seen.

Countless large stars hung on its branches, like withered fruits, devoid of any vitality, only deathly stillness.

In addition, there are countless black holes on the trunk of this ancient tree, as if it had suffered from pests and diseases, forming wormholes that cannot be healed.

How could an ancient tree bear so many "star fruits"?

"Could this be the World Tree?"

Someone exclaimed, their eyes gleaming. "If it's such a divine seed, even if it dies, it's priceless. Its branches, trunk, and roots are all treasures for refining artifacts."

“No, if it were the World Tree, it would have been taken away by a supreme expert passing through here long ago. How could it possibly still be left behind?” The Fourth Elder shook his head.

This ancient tree is just one part of the scenery; the view from afar is even more magnificent.

As they continued onward, they encountered many horrifying sights, such as a plant devouring shattered stars and a primordial deity floating in the ancient realm... all of which were chilling.

This place is so vast, it has no boundaries and no end.

"Not good, prepare for battle!" the Fourth Elder suddenly shouted, reminding everyone.

The disciples on the warship were astonished. Ahead lay vast stretches of shattered planets, all motionless, along with meteorites, eternally silent, and countless specks of cosmic dust.

Without a sound, a blood-red ancient ship floated out from the planetary ruins, slowly and clearly heading straight for this place.

"Battle Spirit!"

"Hopefully, it's not an ancient ancestor-level battle spirit, otherwise, we'll be in big trouble."

The elders looked solemn. The battle spirits were terrifying; once these lost ancient ships locked onto a target, they would fight to the death.

The ship was dilapidated and ancient, its age unknown. It had endured countless years, bearing the mottled marks of time, yet it had never rotted and remained immortal.

The crimson ancient ship was far smaller than the silver warship, but it possessed a mysterious power that could intimidate the silver warship.

It approached silently, moving slowly, as if the entire world was under its invisible aura, and every living thing trembled before it.

Gray mist emanated from the ship, wisps upon wisps, eroding the divine power and corroding the silver warship.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a roar came from the blood-red ancient ship, instantly making many disciples in the academy's hair stand on end, their skin crawl, and their bodies feel a chill to the bone.

This sound is terrifying; it actually affects a person's soul directly!

"This is a major test for you. Those who cannot withstand it may die!" the Second Elder said solemnly.

On the blood-red ancient ship, one figure after another emerged, rushing outwards with terrifying force.

These war spirits are extremely strange; they can devour divine power and then transform it into their own bizarre power, which is terrifying.

"Roar!"

Another roar came from the ship, shaking the entire area of ​​Boundary Tomb violently. The sound was enough to kill many experts.

"Damn it, there really is an ancient ancestor-level battle spirit here. This is a big problem."

Several terrifying creatures appeared on the warship, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light, coldly gazing at us through the gray mist.

That was an extremely terrifying ancient ancestor-level battle spirit, with strength comparable to several elders, and was the strongest battle spirit.

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar resounded as a colossal creature from the crimson ancient ship emerged—one of the strongest battle spirits—and swooped down like a bolt of lightning.

boom!
