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

Fortunately, Qi Shi'an was powerful enough to withstand the onslaught. No matter how many thousands of stones came crashing down on him, he remained unaffected. Runes flashed around his body, shattering the mountains into dust.

Meanwhile, many other mountains fell from a distance, directly into the crimson lava. Some turned to ashes on the spot, while others fell into the sea like pebbles, only splashing up a few waves.

Qi Shi'an felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of place was this? The magma was boundless, capable of devouring all matter, whether tangible or intangible, and destroying it all.

He even saw some demons being knocked down by boulders from the volcano, falling into the lava and screaming as they turned into smoke and disappeared into the world.

The fall finally subsided slightly, everything on the ground was swallowed up, and nothing more fell. The underground world truly appeared before our eyes.

Vast and boundless, islands built of white bones emerge from the lava, and ancient black palaces appear, where demons and vengeful spirits come and go.

In addition, some continents floated on the lava, as black as ink, covered with holes. These were caves where demons roamed, making it practically the underworld.

Every so often, islands of bones sink, and some black continents disintegrate, falling into red lava and turning into dust.

Numerous demons wailed, and endless vengeful ghosts roared and struggled. Many skeletal hands emerged from the lava, but were quickly melted away. The scene was horrifying; even the deepest hell was no more than this!

In the sea of ​​lava, enormous stone pillars kept appearing, soaring into the sky, with primordial gods and demons bound to them, suffering torment from the scorching flames and the chopping of swords and axes.

Some had their tongues pulled out, some had their heads cut off, yet they did not die immediately and continued to struggle.

All sorts of terrifying things were happening, and Qi Shi'an felt his scalp tingle. These scenes were very similar to the eighteen levels of hell in his memory, and they were too bizarre.

Chapter 282 Initial Success of the Technique

boom!

Deep within the sea of ​​magma, a golden palace suddenly rose up, radiating intense heat and exuding an aura of immortality.

There, a being was shrouded in celestial mist, shackled, his limbs and head bound tightly by five iron chains, suspended in mid-air as if torn apart by five horses.

At that moment, Qi Shi'an truly felt the power of the immortal path, but what happened next made his pupils shrink.

Suddenly, the five iron chains transformed into five-colored celestial gold, each a different color, and tightened abruptly, beginning to pull at the creature.

"what······"

The creature howled, the celestial mist surged, and a sacred and powerful force erupted as it tried to break free.

As a result, with a few soft popping sounds, blood shot into the sky, and the five iron chains exerted their force at the same time, tearing off his limbs and head, leaving a bloody and gruesome scene.

"An immortal?"

Qi Shi'an was horrified. He clearly sensed an extremely powerful immortal aura, yet the creature was still dismembered.

With a deafening roar, the dismembered creature, along with the golden palace and the five-colored immortal golden chains, plummeted into the lava.

At that moment, the stench of blood assaulted the senses, incredibly pungent. The creature roared in fury, but was powerless to change its fate. It eventually sank into the sea of ​​lava, slowly being corroded. Its once luminous body turned pitch black, its immortal aura weakened, and deathly energy began to rise.

In the end, all living things were completely submerged, with only bubbles gushing out, followed by a towering black fog.

boom!

Suddenly, a small island made of white bones emerged from the lava, with red lava flowing around it. Several chains rose from the island and instantly bound Qi Shi'an.

Qi Shi'an struggled violently, but found that he could not escape or break free. Just like the creature that seemed to be from the realm of immortals, he was bound tightly, as if torn apart by five horses.

Qi Shi'an's limbs and neck were locked by cold iron chains that dug into his flesh, straightening his body and rendering him unable to move.

"Hell's Judgment!"

In a daze, he heard a cold and ruthless voice from the depths of the magma sea, and then the iron chains were stretched like divine swords and began to tear at his body.

puff!

With a soft whistling sound, a piercing pain struck, and Qi Shi'an couldn't help but scream as blood splattered high in front of him.

In his final moments, he saw his head being torn off, and his limbs broken, ripped into pieces as if he were being torn apart by five horses.

His mangled body followed the island of bones into the lava. The intense heat surged in and burned his body, instantly drying out his flesh and blood. This lava could destroy even gods!

"It's all just an illusion!"

At this moment, Qi Shi'an regained his composure and became very peaceful. The Grand Elder had said that the Yellow Spring Fruit could strengthen the primordial spirit, but he had not explained how it could strengthen it.

The pain he felt at that moment made him realize that none of this was real, but merely a form of tempering.

Qi Shi'an activated the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art, allowing the spiritual embryo and the divine soul to merge. Black sun and blood moon appeared in his mind, surrounding the spiritual embryo and guarding the spiritual platform, blocking the surging magma and the enveloping darkness.

Unconsciously, his mind and body calmed down, the aura emanating from the spiritual embryo permeated his entire body, and the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art circulated more and more smoothly.

The soul and the nascent soul merge together, seemingly becoming vast and boundless, roaming the great world—a strange experience.

In his early years, he transformed his primordial spirit into a spiritual embryo, breaking free from the divine system and entering another system.

Now, the spiritual embryo has undergone four awakenings and transformations, and even consuming the Yellow Spring Fruit cannot strengthen it further; it has reached the limit of this realm.

Thanks to the miraculous effects of the Yellow Spring Fruit, he attached his soul to the spiritual embryo, merged with it, transformed into a deity within the human body, and then into a primordial spirit of another system, becoming a true divine embryo!

"boom!"

The next moment, the spiritual platform beneath Qi Shi'an's spiritual embryo suddenly expanded, and countless laws of the Dao spread out, sweeping across the heavens and the earth in an instant, turning this hellish place into black and gold, and reversing it into a demonic domain.

In the realm of demonic cultivation, a black sun hangs in the sky, a blood moon shines brightly, and six directions of heaven and earth lie across the firmament, where countless demonic shadows lurk.

"Poxu!"

With a soft shout, the little spirit opened its eyes. Its eyes, one black and one gold, turned and a divine wheel appeared. The six portals opened with a roar, and countless lurking demonic shadows rushed out with overwhelming momentum, as if they wanted to destroy the universe and tear apart all obstacles.

Chi!

At this moment, one demonic figure after another unleashed their great magic, shattering this world. Lava erupted, and the aura of destruction was everywhere. A figure then burst forth from hell.

Qi Shi'an awoke and stood before three golden plants, bathed in sacred light, their glory radiant and holy. Several fruits of the underworld still hung from the branches.

"Success!"

Qi Shi'an was filled with joy because his soul and spirit embryo had truly merged together, transforming into a primordial spirit. His primordial spirit power surged and became much stronger!

This primordial spirit has transcended the realm of the Heavenly God, and he is extremely satisfied!

He looked down at his palm, where there was a small but very real pattern—a reincarnation mark!

"I never expected that this would be able to condense a Reincarnation Seal," Qi Shi'an muttered to himself.

He broke through by force with his spiritual embryo and did not truly fall into the cycle of reincarnation, but a reincarnation seal still appeared, which was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

There are vague records in the bone books of this era, and there are more explanations in the jade and stone heaven books of the immortal ancient times. Some people have said that there is reincarnation in the world, but not everyone can participate in it.

Only a few exceptional geniuses have the opportunity to be reincarnated, and some individuals have reincarnation marks to prove it, but very few people can actually have such marks engraved.

The mark on the left palm was not large, but it was very intricate, like a deep starry sky, or a condensed version of the cycle of life and death.

Reincarnation is a very serious topic that has puzzled countless geniuses throughout history, and no one can explain it clearly.

Ordinary people are easily confused. Some people are superstitious and believe that there must be a heaven and hell, and that there are past lives and present lives. But how could a cultivator believe in these things?

The more powerful a person is, the more they believe in themselves and not in so-called destiny. They believe that everything is predetermined and that cultivators defy the heavens to overturn the universe and reverse cause and effect. Otherwise, how could cultivators achieve immortality?

However, as time flows endlessly and countless ages pass, no one has ever been able to decipher the true meaning of reincarnation. Even the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, who has studied this path most deeply, cannot comprehend the true meaning of reincarnation.

Qi Shi'an shook his head, clearing his mind of these thoughts. These were not things he could pursue at the moment; only beings at the Immortal King level or above could get involved.

Only when one can exist eternally in the universe can it be meaningful to contemplate the cycle of life and death.

He glanced around and, noticing that Shi Hao had not yet returned, sat cross-legged on the ground and continued to comprehend the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture.

Qi Shi'an's brow shone with light, and a small figure stepped out from his forehead, radiating divine light and countless rays of light, surrounded by auspicious energy, exuding unparalleled holiness and transcendence.

The little figure stood before Qi Shi'an's brow, blazing like a small sun. It was undoubtedly the strongest being in the Heavenly God Realm. Throughout history, few in this realm could compare to its primordial spirit, and it exuded an invisible majesty.

In addition, this fist-sized primordial spirit was covered with various symbols, densely packed together, forming a natural armor that protected it at the center.

"The Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture," Qi Shi'an murmured to himself. These patterns were dozens of methods he had comprehended from the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, which had now condensed with his primordial spirit, transforming into demonic armor.

Qi Shi'an closed his eyes tightly and, while Shi Hao was still away, continued to study the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, striving to comprehend it as soon as possible and then integrate it into the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art to form his own unified cultivation method.

He remained motionless, his hands constantly forming hand seals in front of him. A supremely holy and demonic radiance emanated from his body, instantly making his form ethereal and hazy, as if it were unreal.

As he moved, countless scriptures appeared densely, rumbling and spinning, and entered the body of the primordial spirit.

Qi Shi'an kept forming hand seals, and suddenly unleashed the Nine Netherworld Hound Treasure Technique, shattering the void with a single punch, his power shaking all directions.

He then used his hand as a sword to unleash the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique. The sword light surged and rang out, tearing a gap in the void wherever it went, and chaotic energy spread out.

His hand seals changed again, and he unleashed one of his cultivated techniques and supernatural powers after another. Then he used various spells recorded in the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, his form constantly shifting, sometimes transforming into a white tiger, sometimes into a true dragon…

Then, he unleashed the Seven Chapters of Creation: Spiritual Power Transformation, Heavenly God Power Transformation, Heavenly Demon Power Transformation, Human King Power Transformation, Ghost God Power Transformation, Earthly Origin Power Transformation, and Innate Power Transformation into an Infant.

A myriad of mysteries came rushing in, filling his mind, and overflowing from his hands, transforming into wondrous Taoist arts.

He felt his heart was going crazy. If the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture's techniques were not working smoothly, he would modify them. If the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Technique was sluggish, he would let nature take its course and adjust its direction.

Regardless of the type of cultivation method, whether it's the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture or the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art, you can use whatever works best for you, doing whatever you want.

Qi Shi'an unleashed all sorts of supernatural powers and techniques, with runes filling the sky and manifesting various divine and demonic scenes. Heavenly demons roared, true Buddhas chanted scriptures, and Qilin trotted through the sky... All kinds of wondrous techniques were displayed in his hands and unleashed to his heart's content.

The Great Unification Technique of the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture has only one requirement: it must be able to unify all the spells and supernatural powers of the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture. In addition, it must also include profound techniques such as the Seven Chapters of Creation.

Only by achieving this can it be called a great unification and become a true guiding principle!

Now, only a dozen days have passed since Qi Shi'an obtained the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, and he has already begun to grasp the edge of the Great Unification Technique, integrating and mastering it.

This is also related to his creation of the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury, as well as the Myriad Paths Tree. This precious tree has been inscribed with this method since it came to this world with him, so he can naturally resonate with it and easily comprehend it.

Qi Shi'an used the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art as a foundation, adding and subtracting from it, and incorporating the principles and true meaning of the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, thus initially forming his unified cultivation method.

"Finally... a crucial step has been taken!"

Qi Shi'an finished his practice, his primordial spirit returned to his head, and the strange phenomena around him also dissipated. At this moment, he was full of energy and spirit, and had reached the highest peak so far!

Now, he is confident that he can sweep aside all enemies in the Heavenly God Realm, and even ordinary Void Dao Realm sect leaders can be challenged.

Just then, Shi Hao also woke up.

Chapter 283 The Beginning of the Path

"Xiao An, you woke up so quickly."

Shi Hao was surprised. He had struggled for a long time to break free, but his best friend had been so quick.

Observing his spirit and energy, Shi Hao found it to be like a blazing sun, powerful and terrifying.

"We used an unconventional method, which is why it's faster," Qi Shi'an said with a calm smile.

"Now that you've awakened, you should leave quickly."

The two took out their respective small cauldrons and picked the remaining Yellow Spring Fruits. The first one was already empty, having been completely devoured by the Yellow Spring Insects.

The second plant originally had three fruits, but they had already eaten two of them. The third plant still had five golden fruits.

The six fruits are golden and translucent, with an intoxicating fragrance, but they are also extremely dangerous.

Who would have thought that taking one pill would be like a cycle of reincarnation? If not handled properly, one could become trapped in it, unable to extricate oneself, and never wake up again.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao split the six Yellow Spring Fruits equally and then left.

They didn't dig up the three fruit trees because they wouldn't survive if they were taken away from here. According to rumors, the place where the Yellow Spring Fruit grows must be an extremely yin place, extremely terrifying.

This means it must be a place filled with countless corpses!

The reason this place is sacred is because the remains are not those of ordinary beings; most of them are immortal corpses. Although they are few in number, they have miraculous effects.

If the two of them weren't too weak to get close, they would definitely have acted as gravediggers to see if there were any immortal treasures left on that supreme being.

They returned to the Heavenly God Academy along the same route, left Immortal Hill, and began their own path of cultivation.

The journey back was smooth. Along the way, they met some acquaintances, such as Xuan Kun, Wang Xi, Yao Yue, and powerful cultivators from both academies.

"It's those two? Could it be that they're the ones who caused all this commotion these past few days?" A genius from the Holy Academy exclaimed in surprise, his eyes gleaming.

Hearing this, the others all looked over, their hearts filled with unease. They had gone to great lengths, working together to break through the mountain gate and arrive at this place, yet the other party seemed to be leaving with ease.

The cultivators from the Immortal Academy were filled with rage when they saw the black-robed youth. This was the very person who had nearly caused the Little Heavenly King's death.

In their eyes, Qi Shi'an was a vicious and lawless villain who repeatedly defied the authority of the Immortal Academy.

A glint of light flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "Oh, quite a few prodigies have come. It's a pity I didn't see any of the top geniuses from the two academies. I was hoping to ambush and kill a few of them."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy couldn't help but shudder and took a few steps back.

For someone who dares to defy the rules of the academy and kill elite disciples from both academies, these small fry are really no match for him.

Even a proud and aloof genius like Little Heavenly King is now lying in bed recovering from his injuries. How could they possibly be a match for him?

"I've heard that the Immortal Academy has a Nine Nether Hound, why haven't I seen him? I still want to taste the flavor of the Ten Fiends." Qi Shi'an licked his lips, his bloodshot eyes revealing a bloodthirsty intent.

"You... don't be so smug. No matter how proud and arrogant you are, you're only limited to the Celestial God Realm. You don't have a perfect seed, and you're destined to be just another ordinary person!" a young man from the Immortal Academy scolded.
