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

"That old bastard Meng Tianzheng is ruthless!" Wang Er clenched his fist, and the chaotic energy swirling around him surged, shattering the surrounding void.

······

After returning to the Heavenly God Academy, Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an went into seclusion together, exchanging some of their own techniques and studying the immortal scriptures they had obtained together.

Shi Hao shared the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique and the Undying Scripture, and Qi Shi'an was not stingy either, offering the Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique and the Eight Forms of the Scattered Buddha in exchange.

Chaos is imminent, and improving our own combat strength is the most urgent task now. Although the Wang family is temporarily quiet, they will certainly not swallow this insult and will make a comeback sooner or later.

Both of their methods were unparalleled, and through mutual verification, they both benefited greatly. Qi Shi'an used this to further improve the Star River Divine Treasury, and his cultivation also broke through to the late stage of the Void Dao Realm.

Shi Hao was not far behind and successfully broke through to the late stage of the Void Dao Realm. After learning about the two divine treasures opened up by his close friend, he also gained a clear understanding of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

While a storm was sweeping the outside world, an even bigger storm broke out, but the major forces across the heavens and earth were still unaware of it.

On the border of the outer realms, adjacent to the other side of the world, a majestic pass that had been sealed for an unknown period of time suddenly cracked, and then collapsed with a loud bang!

Chapter 308 The Beginning of the War

The battle between the Grand Elder and Wang Changsheng shocked the world!

Wang Changsheng was forced by a black-robed youth wielding two immortal artifacts to personally issue a decree to send his five children to the borderlands, which attracted attention from all sides.

"Haha... That old scoundrel Wang Changsheng has finally met his end! We should drink a big toast to him!"

Upon hearing about the little devil's deeds, Xu Mingxuan was so happy he almost jumped for joy. The Xu family and the Wang family had an inextricable feud since ancient times.

He was happy as long as the Wang family was doing badly. If he ever learned that Wang Changsheng and his descendants had all died, he would definitely be the first to visit the ancient land of the Wang family and wipe out the entire Wang family.

This commotion is enormous. For the sake of his disciples, the Grand Elder actually went to war with Wang Changsheng, mobilizing a large force and not hesitating to launch a decisive battle.

Only now did the people of the Three Academies learn that the Demon Lord had emerged from seclusion that day and then hurriedly left, heading to the ancient land of the Wang family.

Furthermore, the Demon Lord sacrificed a celestial embryo and activated two celestial artifacts to force Wang Changsheng to submit. He personally sent his five offspring to the battlefield and also took away the Wang family's treasures. His methods were truly remarkable.

Many young people were sweating profusely, feeling both envious and jealous. Who did this Demon Lord save in his past life?

Not only did the Grand Elder pledge to protect the disciples, but he also received a celestial artifact and a celestial embryo. All these benefits seemed to be coming his way.

The exploration of the underground immortal abode has come to an end, and all the young experts have emerged, including Zi Ri Tian Jun, Da Xu Tuo, Lan Xian, Qi Gu, and others.

Upon hearing the crowd's discussion, Wang Xi's expression changed drastically, and she desperately wanted to leave immediately.

On the contrary, Princess Yaoyue was overjoyed, her face beaming. There was nothing that made her happier than seeing her rival family suffer a setback.

“Fairy Wang Xi, you don’t need to worry too much. Think about how amazing the ancient ancestor of the Wang family was. He was known as a celestial being, and now he has single-handedly withstood all kinds of celestial artifacts. He can’t be considered defeated.” Someone comforted Wang Xi.

Many people from the Holy Academy gathered around, indicating that Jin Zhan was about to emerge from seclusion and leave the Holy Academy. At that time, he might fight against Huang and the Demon Lord.

Jin Zhan, known as an unparalleled genius, is a legend whose depths are beyond anyone's comprehension. He has surpassed all his predecessors in the path of modern law.

No matter how much they tried to comfort them, people still felt a little heavy-hearted, because Huang and the Demon Lord had both sacrificed themselves as a seed, something that had never been done before. The Demon Lord had even forged his own path, and such talent was terrifying.

Even though Huang rarely makes a move, with the Demon Lord preceding him, he must also want to forge his own path. It is very likely that this seclusion is in order to find his own way.

"The Desolate Demon Lord cultivates ancient methods, while Senior Brother Jin Zhan cultivates modern methods. Only after the battle will we know who is stronger."

"Besides, I heard that those two have only taken that first step and still need to explore. It's not necessarily true that no one in this generation can rival them."

Some people are saying that the people of the Holy Academy highly value Jin Zhan and believe that he can surpass the other two.

"How about we set a date for a duel? I'll contact my brother for you. Who's going to invite Jin Zhan?" The chubby Cao Yusheng put his hands on his hips and showed a simple and honest smile.

The people from the Holy Academy immediately widened their eyes and glared angrily at Cao Yusheng.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" the little rabbit pouted.

"Hehe, don't worry, that little devil is the fairest of all and will never use a celestial artifact." The witch smiled and saw through their thoughts at a glance.

After all, the news was indeed shocking. Even a master like Wang Changsheng, who was at the pinnacle of the Dao, couldn't do anything to the little devil, let alone Jin Zhan, who hadn't yet achieved Dao.

"What kind of time is this to be arguing about this? Hurry up and improve your cultivation. The beings from the other side of the world may attack at any time," an elder of the Immortal Academy scolded.

In the days since the Grand Elder returned, he has been discussing with the higher-ups of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy to choose the Immortal Land after the three academies were merged as their base.

This was not a sudden decision; it had been mentioned before that the Immortal Academy, the Holy Academy, and the Heavenly God Academy would be merged to allow disciples to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and spur them to become stronger.

On this day, everyone was cultivating, and the Heavenly God Academy was filled with peace and tranquility. Suddenly, an astonishing fluctuation appeared in the world, startling everyone awake.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao then emerged from seclusion and immediately followed the aura to the gate of the academy.

boom!

The void exploded, and a wrecked warship rushed out, carrying with it mottled bloodstains and astonishing malevolent energy, before crash-landing outside the Heavenly God Academy.

"Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly God Academy?" the Third Elder of the Heavenly God Academy shouted.

The First Elder appeared, patted the Third Elder on the shoulder to stop him from scolding him, and stared at the bronze warship with a very solemn expression.

At this moment, everyone was shocked. All the disciples of the three academies came out of seclusion and came to the gate of the academy, looking at the metal ship covered with bloodstains.

What happened? Why did this warship, already broken in half, end up here? Blood is dripping from it.

"Why do I have such a bad feeling?" The Dragon Girl frowned, a sense of unease rising in her heart for no reason.

"Yes, the darkest days are probably coming!"

Qi Shi'an's expression was solemn. Upon seeing the ship, he knew the answer: the foreign lands had begun war.

"People from the frontier have arrived!" The Grand Elder's expression was solemn.

Instantly, a chill ran through everyone present. The warship was unique to the frontier, and it had a clear battle flag marking on its bow—an iron-blooded battle flag, a flag dripping with blood!

This symbol is not to be used by any ethnic group when traveling through the nine heavens and ten earths; it is only permitted in the border regions.

After the bronze warship emerged, it fell silent, utterly still.

Chi!

The Grand Elder took to the air and quickly arrived at the warship, with the other old men following closely behind.

"Wake up!" The Grand Elder boarded the warship and found a middle-aged man unconscious, with only half of his body remaining, covered in blood.

Several old men channeled divine power into him and stimulated his body, causing him to slowly awaken.

"No...no good...the formidable border pass has collapsed, and powerful beings from another realm...have appeared!" Although the middle-aged man's voice was weak, his words were deafening and resounded throughout the heavens.

"What!?"

At that moment, countless exclamations rang out, and then everyone felt a chill run down their spines; this was earth-shattering news.

There couldn't be worse news: changes have occurred on the frontier, and the thing people feared most has come to pass.

Everyone knows that sooner or later, alien creatures will reappear and invade this world once again. When that happens, chaos will ensue, rivers of blood will flow, and countless corpses will lie scattered.

"It's so sudden! Why did this turmoil break out without any warning? I wasn't prepared!" a young man cried out, clutching his head in terror.

Many people felt a chill run down their spines. Was anyone present truly prepared? Absolutely not. Everyone hoped that moment would come as late as possible.

"It's too fast. How could they break through the barrier? That fortress is solid and indestructible, forged from the flesh and blood of immortals. It should never be able to collapse." An elder of the Holy Academy murmured, still in disbelief.

Because the older generation of powerful figures had jointly calculated that the dark ages would not arrive so soon, and would take at least several thousand years.

"Elder, the breach of this formidable pass may have been aided by an inside agent; otherwise, it wouldn't have been breached so easily without any warning," Qi Shi'an transmitted his speculation to the Elder.

The Grand Elder's face was gloomy, clearly he thought so too. A strong and indestructible pass could be breached so easily without a sound, there must be someone secretly helping.

His first choice is definitely one of those longevity families, especially the Feng Clan, the Wang Clan, and the Jin Clan. It seems the time has come to deal with the Feng Clan!

A living fossil-level figure from the Immortal Academy intervened, using his immense magical power to heal the middle-aged man. His injuries were far too severe; half of his body had been severed, and his primordial spirit was nearly shattered.

The living fossil-level figure from the Immortal Academy took out a purple-gold divine pill and had the middle-aged man take it. Instantly, his whole body glowed, his divine power surged, his bones cracked, his flesh wriggled, and his lower body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Senior Meng, the Great Crimson Heaven is too tragic. The border has been turned into hell. Countless people have died, and countless souls are wailing. It is so tragic that it is unbearable to witness!"

A tear of blood streamed down the middle-aged man's face. He was filled with grief and indignation. His brothers, relatives, friends, and many familiar people had all been killed in an instant, leaving him no chance to fight back.

Many people who heard the description felt their hair stand on end. The attack from the foreign land was too fierce, and the number of experts they had dispatched was simply unimaginable. They had shattered the formidable pass in an instant.

In that instant, many people perished in the ruins, their flesh and blood shattered together with the city, turning into a bloody mess—a truly gruesome sight.

"Wasn't the Great Crimson Heaven forged from immortal bones? This passage shouldn't have been able to be opened, so how could it suddenly collapse?!"

The strongest members of the three academies all frowned, their expressions shifting between light and dark. If this were true, the situation would be extremely dire.

In their view, if beings from the other side of the world were to actually invade, they would enter from the remote borderlands of the Three Thousand Provinces, the most unstable place.

Throughout countless ages, countless supreme beings have gone there to guard the ancient city.

Of the nine heavens and ten lands, only the borderlands of the three thousand states are unstable. Over the long years, although people from other realms have not been able to land there, they have still caused great trouble for this world.

Therefore, generation after generation of sages, when their lives were nearing their end, would go there to exert their last bit of energy, burning themselves with extraordinary cultivation to fight their final battle in life.

If something changes in the Great Crimson Heaven, it means that the other passages of the same level will most likely be lost as well. The eternal peace will be broken, and blood and fire will burn across the land.

"Go and summon the Ancestral Dragon Horn, and quickly sound it to command all the powerful clans in the Nine Heavens to rush to the borderlands and aid the Great Crimson Heaven!" The Grand Elder quickly gave the order, as the situation was urgent.

Everyone trembled, their very souls shaking. Just moments ago they were listening to the middle-aged man's account, and now they were instantly in a state of war.

They knew this day would come no matter what, but as they actually embarked on it, thinking about all the possible scenarios that might occur, everyone couldn't help but feel a thrill, clench their fists, and some were even afraid, their bodies trembling.

"Shen Huan, has there been any movement from the Feng Clan recently?" the First Elder transmitted his voice to the Third Elder.

"Just as the Grand Elder was on his way to the Wang family, Feng Bailing of the Feng Clan went to the no-man's land of the Three Thousand States. Our people dared not get too close to avoid being exposed," the Third Elder of the Heavenly God Academy reported truthfully.

"We must first rush to the aid of Great Crimson Heaven and stabilize the situation." The Grand Elder nodded solemnly. "Go and draft a decree to annihilate the Wind Clan and secretly pass it on to our allies. Once the situation is stable, immediately exterminate every member of the Wind Clan, leaving no one alive!"

"As for Feng Zu..." The Third Elder paused.

"I'll handle it personally!" The elder's eyes were sharp, revealing a hint of ruthlessness and decisiveness that was hard to detect.

"clear."

The Third Elder quietly left to carry out the task assigned by the First Elder.

Chapter 309 The Great Red Sky Frontier

Under questioning from the elders of the Holy Temple, the middle-aged man described in detail the horrific scene that unfolded, causing everyone to feel tense.

The immortal ancient city, forged from the blood and flesh of our ancestors, collapsed with a roar when the first rays of sunlight shone down. Many people saw a terrifying "pot" that tore everything apart, even though the city was built from the bones of immortals.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's expression immediately changed. He thought of the pot he had seen in his dream of returning to the Immortal Ancient Realm when he obtained the Immortal Scripture.

"Could it be... the Immortal Refining Pot?" The little ant's body trembled.

Not long ago, he and Shi Hao saw a pot in front of the Immortal Peak. It roared through the mountains and rivers, collecting the essence and blood of the strongest. It was terrifying to the extreme. It was just a mark left from the end of the Immortal Ancient Era!

Legend has it that the Immortal Refining Pot was specially cast to refine true immortals to death, and its ferocity was unparalleled.

A muffled horn sounded, interrupting Shi Hao's thoughts.

The horn sounded like muffled thunder, echoing throughout the boundless heavens, and then, through the boundary wall, it swept across the nine heavens and ten earths.

This horn was forged from a true dragon's horn and blessed by countless sages. It has long since become spiritually powerful, beyond imagination. Its sound is long and resonant, able to penetrate the boundary and summon some of the most powerful families.

There is no time to lose; we must notify all the major clans immediately and have them prepare for the great battle!

The dragon horn is not usually blown; in fact, it has never been blown even once or twice in history. It can only be used when the most terrifying event that threatens the heavens and the earth occurs.

Once the bugle sounds, it means the darkest days are about to begin!

The moment the dragon horn sounded, many elderly people stood in awe, while among the young people, some felt a sense of desolation and grandeur, their blood boiling, and they wished they could immediately throw themselves into the battle, while others turned pale and trembled.

"Little one, are you scared?" Qi Shi'an smiled calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Because he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and fear was useless, he might as well fight a real battle and hone his invincible power.

Moreover, most of the Qi clan members, young and old, were buried in the desolate borderlands after the Battle of Immortal Ancient. Only a small portion were plotted against from the rear, which is why they were reduced to a minor clan in the lower realm.

But now that he has come this far as a descendant of the Qi clan, there is no reason for him to be timid, and the blood of glory flowing in his veins will never allow him to back down.

"Heh, don't underestimate me, I am the mighty Lord Huang who shakes the heavens." Shi Hao was full of fighting spirit and his battle intent soared to the sky. He couldn't wait to rush to the borderlands and fight bravely against the enemy.

He countered with a question: "And you, Xiao An, have you ever been afraid?"

"Tch, I've already braved the dens of dragons and tigers like the Wang family, why would I be afraid of a foreign land?" Qi Shi'an said with his hands behind his back, his expression serious. "My ancestors are buried on the frontier, so I must go and take a look. Maybe I can find a few bones and let them return to their roots."

"Waaah..."

Just then, a whistling sound came from the sky, and a huge, boundless white bone warship sped towards the Heavenly God Academy.

"The White Bone Mountain Clan Chief, lead all the clan's experts to answer the call!" A grand voice rang out.

This is an extremely powerful clan. White Bone Mountain is a secret land that is difficult for outsiders to enter. Bones are everywhere, and some say that the creatures there are all transformed from bone gods.

"All the experts of the Mulan clan are here!" The Mulan clan chief personally led the team here.

From beyond the realm, a meteor streaked in, trailing a long tail of light, and with awe-inspiring power, appearing in the sky above the Heavenly God Academy.
