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

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked. Had this alien realm gone mad? They were willing to pay any price to build a road with their lives, were they really that impatient?

Qi Shi'an's face darkened. Although he knew that the foreign lands could not be invaded yet, this method of attacking the city by sacrificing lives was truly terrifying.

If the foreign lands were unpolluted and could maintain a united and cohesive spirit, he would admire them immensely.

Unfortunately, in this alien realm, all the immortal kings and core forces have been corrupted by darkness. Only a very few remain unaffected by the darkness, but surviving in such a place is extremely difficult.

If it were a place like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where most of the living beings are normal, he didn't believe that other realms could be of one mind; they would surely be constantly fighting amongst themselves.

"Go! Take the Ten Realms Map and the True Dragon Horn immediately and head to the borderlands. We can't delay any longer!" the elder of the Holy Academy shouted.

Next, they began making arrangements for 90% of their forces to leave and head to the remote borderlands of the Three Thousand Provinces!

Only a portion of the people remain here, but a top-tier expert must be stationed here, and this important task naturally falls on the shoulders of the Grand Elder.

Chapter 320 Summoning Souls from Another Land

In the distance, a massive spatial gate was opened, supported by a white bone altar, leading directly to the Three Thousand Provinces.

On the frontier of the Great Crimson Sky, countless warships set sail, covering the sky like vast clouds, surging towards the portal.

"Waaah..."

As the True Dragon Horn sounded, thousands upon thousands of giant warships appeared, carrying the most precious treasures from the heavens and the earth, rushing to the aid of the three thousand borderlands.

Without a doubt, this time people will really die, and many people will die. Unlike the small skirmish in Da Chi Tian, ​​the border war will be staged there.

The sky was filled with warships, some larger than stars. These were the invincible ancient ships of the Longevity Dao lineage, exuding immortal energy and capable of tearing through space to descend upon the Three Thousand Provinces.

Amidst the cacophony of noise and the cries of battle, ship after ship of people sailed away, singing battle songs that shook the heavens and earth, carrying a tragic air.

"This time, it really might be the last time I see it."

Many people looked back at this world, even though it was the Great Crimson Heaven and not their homeland, and then with resolute expressions, they plunged into the spatial gate and headed to the most brutal battlefield.

The Great Crimson Sky Frontier quickly became deserted. It was said that 10,000 men would remain, but the Grand Elder still ordered them all to leave, leaving less than a thousand men.

Moreover, most of these people are young cultivators, such as disciples of the Three Academies. They are all young people who are still growing and cannot be taken to the borderlands.

The reason they came here was to let them experience the cruelty of the battlefield in advance. Now that their goal has been achieved, they have even killed quite a few young cultivators from other realms.

On the other side, the cultivators from the other realm were also retreating, their figures appearing and disappearing from the darkness, stepping into that pitch-black abyss.

As they left, many young cultivators from other realms turned back to look, staring intently at the two young men in white and black robes who were enjoying their meal, their eyes burning with resentful anger.

"Desolate Demon Lord, when we meet again, we will surely bring forth the true prodigies of the imperial clans and slaughter you ants of the remnant realm!" A gray-haired cultivator glared angrily.

"Oh, then you'd better call more people, otherwise there won't be enough to eat." Qi Shi'an said nonchalantly, completely unconcerned by these harsh words.

Upon hearing such a dismissive attitude, the young king from the foreign land was filled with rage, so furious he felt like his lungs were about to explode. But in the end, he could only let out a cold snort and disappear from the border of the Great Crimson Sky.

The Great Red Sky Frontier is now nothing but ruins. The ancient city built with immortal bones has collapsed, leaving only broken walls and rubble everywhere.

The place gradually became deserted, as the people from the foreign land had all returned and disappeared into the darkness.

However, for a long time, the abyss remained, unclosed, eerily black, as if it would quickly devour one's soul.

The entire battlefield was silent, without a sound, except for the occasional cold wind that whistled across the withered bones on the ground.

Everyone was silent. The future would be very difficult, and everyone knew in their hearts that they were facing a life-or-death situation.

From this day forward, all peace and tranquility have been shattered; war has begun, and slaughter will sweep across the heavens and the earth.

"These people are quite good at pretending." Qi Shi'an mumbled between mouthfuls of meat.

He didn't believe those foreigners would actually retreat. He knew their goal was a forbidden zone buried in this land, and their retreat was just a pretense.

It's true that a large army is pressing in on the borderlands, but it's just a test. If they can break through, that would be great; if they can't, it won't hinder their plans.

"Xiao An, do you mean they'll come back?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

"Those bastards from the foreign lands are masters of feints and diversions. Do they not know that the borderlands are easy to defend but difficult to attack? It's all a smokescreen; their real target is still the Great Crimson Heaven," Qi Shi'an replied.

Some cultivators initially disbelieved it upon hearing this, but upon looking at the Grand Elder, their hearts trembled.

Because the Grand Elder's expression was solemn, and his gaze remained fixed on that dark abyss, it was clear that he also thought so.

Having dealt with people from other lands for so many years, he naturally understood their thoughts.

"Hehe, little rascal, you may look young, but you're quite shrewd."

At this moment, an old man emerged from the dark abyss. His body was withered and looked like a newly emerged fossil, with half of his body buried underground.

This was one of the strongest alien beings who stood here not long ago, a leading figure!

"My ancestors dealt with you for so many years, so by my generation, everything has been made clear to me," Qi Shi'an said with a faint smile.

"Oh? And who were your ancestors?" the withered old man asked.

"Qi Potian, do you recognize him?" Qi Shi'an asked proudly.

"So it was Qi Zu, who served under the King of Men back then. I've heard of him; he's quite a skilled fighter."

The withered old man stood with his hands behind his back. Although his body was somewhat hunched, his eyes were bright and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. He was obviously an unparalleled supreme being.

“However, you’re wasting your time here. We won’t cross over here. We’re being rejected by this world and can’t get through at all,” the withered old man said.

The elder shook his head and refused, then stared intently at him, "Why don't you tell me what secrets this place holds that warrant such a large commotion?"

“We can talk about the old days, but before that, we must take some action, or we might miss our chance.” The withered old man spoke calmly, slowly turning around and bowing deeply to the abyss.

He was exceptionally solemn and devout, setting up an altar to perform a sacrifice.

Around him, hundreds of figures appeared silently, all of them living fossils, all terrifying figures!

On this side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, everyone was terrified, a slight chill running down their spines. These were all extremely powerful experts, invincible except for elders of the Longevity Dao lineage, and yet so many had appeared all at once.

This shows how seriously they took this place and how much they cared about it.

These people chanted ancient scriptures at the same time, their voices ancient and grand, as if coming from the edge of the world, gradually shaking the mountains and rivers, and resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"what are they doing?"

The people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths region felt a slight chill in their bodies and had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

"Whoosh!"

The Grand Elder's expression was solemn. As his eyes opened and closed, chaotic light burst forth. He grabbed the Immortal King's shroud and used it as a banner, blotting out the sky and protecting everyone.

The chanting was loud and peculiar. At first, it sounded like the rumbling of the Dao, somewhat peaceful, but later it became eerie and sinister, accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and gods.

call!

A fierce wind arose, coming from all directions and gathering towards the dark abyss, appearing near the altar, with ghostly figures everywhere!

Then, the mysterious altar floated up on its own, and then entered the dark abyss, where it sank and floated.

In an instant, hundreds of elderly people were very excited, and one by one they worshipped and then chanted scriptures more devoutly, as if they were calling for something.

What are they doing?

Shi Hao felt something was very strange, and the surrounding environment was different now, eerie and terrifying, as if he had fallen into the depths of hell.

At this moment, the Immortal King's shroud fluttered in the wind, like a battle flag waving, guarding this place.

Outside, a chilling wind howled, and blood rained down, creating a terrifying scene.

"They are chanting a sutra to summon the soul!"

The Grand Elder's expression was serious. Something was very wrong. Did these people from the alien realm want to resurrect some kind of being?

"They are summoning the spirits of heroes who died in the past. I learned from the inheritance of the Martial Immortal that there was once an immortal king named Luomo who wanted to invade my realm from the Great Crimson Heaven. In the end, he was stopped by a female immortal king and they perished together."

Qi Shi'an shifted the blame to Wu Tianzhenxian, explaining what he knew with reasonable justification.

If Wu Tianzhenxian were still alive, he would surely curse: Don't try to pin everything on me!

"Such a thing really happened?"

The Grand Elder was horrified, and for the first time felt a bit overwhelmed, because he had heard of the name Luo Mo, an unparalleled ancient ancestor from another realm, no weaker than An Lan and Yu Tuo!

This is alarming; a legendary ancestor once died here in battle.

There is no record of this in historical books, at least not in the bone books of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. I never expected that the martial arts inheritance obtained by the little devil would contain such a record.

"I never expected that the True Immortal Wu Tian would have such a secret recorded there. It seems that in addition to Wu Tian's supreme treasure, you have also obtained the complete inheritance." The withered old man laughed loudly.

"roar······"

Suddenly, many blurry figures appeared around them, rushing towards them with bared teeth and claws, each one incredibly powerful.

Moreover, eight orbs of light rose up from the battlefield, each in a different direction. They converged together, then surrounded a sacred and dazzling special flame, and flew forward, about to plunge into the abyss.

Wow!

The Grand Elder acted decisively, unfurling the Immortal King's Shroud in his hand and unleashing it towards the light cluster.

"you dare!"

Before the altar, the powerful figures were enraged and summoned a gourd-shaped treasure. A terrifying and boundless power erupted from the gourd, blocking the overwhelming power of the Immortal King's Shroud.

"The Immortal Refining Pot!" Shi Hao's eyes widened. It was exactly the same as the one he had seen at the Immortal Peak.

The fact that such a supreme treasure was used for the sake of Naromo's remnant soul shows how much the alien realm values ​​it and wants to resurrect an immortal king!

call out!

A gray stone portal shot into the sky, suspended in the firmament, radiating a hazy celestial light, protecting everyone.

The Grand Elder also recalled the shroud and stood guard, silently watching the scene ahead.

"The supreme Lord Lomo!"

Before the altar, all the elders kowtowed, their expressions filled with emotion, almost weeping, kneeling down in worship.

On the altar, a broken eyeball, long since dried up and lifeless, had been placed there.

However, as the cluster of sacred soul fire that had been gathered there returned, the withered, broken eyeballs began to move and then began to glow.

With a whoosh, the ball of fire rushed into the eyeball, and then erupted with a tremendous shockwave, stunning all living beings on the border of the Great Crimson Sky.

That aura was too powerful, unparalleled. Is this the power of the Immortal King? It could destroy the heavens and the earth, and even the entire universe!

Fortunately, its existence was brief. It quickly suppressed its aura, its eyes regained their luster, rapidly enlarged, and hovered above the dark abyss.

In the end, it actually reached a height of several thousand feet, as majestic as a great mountain.

This is astonishing; an eyeball this big—one can only imagine how magnificent and powerful it must have been in life.

Chapter 321 Lomo's Scheme

"I knew it! Lord Lomo would have left behind heroic spirits. To see them today is an honor beyond measure!" A group of powerful figures from other realms exclaimed excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration.

"It's just a wisp of a soul that could crumble at any moment; it's useless to summon me back."

This is the fluctuation emitted by the remnant soul. It is obvious that it is not in its complete form, and its will is not as firm and immortal as it used to be. Otherwise, it might not even bother to pay attention to these people.

In the distance, Qi Shi'an's lips twitched. Is this the kind of minister who brings darkness?

Even in death, they cannot find peace. Even if only a remnant soul remains, they must be dragged out to "work." They are worse than cattle and horses. Despicable "dark capitalists."

"Lomogu Ancestor, we have found you to understand the truth of what happened back then and to estimate how strong the person who made the move was, because soon our realm will be advancing and storming into this ancient realm." Someone stared at the giant eyeball like a fanatical believer.

"Those who fought me are dead. No one can emerge unscathed after a battle with me." The eyeball spoke, and the lingering resentment it left behind was astonishing, as it still remembered the events of that year.

This not only alarmed Shi Hao and the others, but even the Grand Elder sighed, realizing how terrifying the so-called supreme being was.

"They risked their lives, and in the end, that female immortal king became both a ghost and an immortal. How dare they say that no one escaped unscathed?" Qi Shi'an thought to himself, marveling at the stubbornness of the immortal kings.

"We need to know the whole story. There were two other incidents back then, and we need to properly judge who was responsible," the withered old man said.

"Hmm, you should all know where those people come from. It's reasonable to try to gauge their strength." The eyeball emitted a wave of divine sense.

Before the altar, all the powerful figures were very excited. This was an unparalleled ancient ancestor who would not have paid any attention to them under normal circumstances, but now he was actually talking to them as an equal.

"Please enlighten us, Ancestor!"

"Without explicit explanation, Anlan and Yutuo must have already deduced that there is an ancient realm sealed here, with an unstable node that may be opened today. Go in yourselves and seek out everything from the past. The awakening of the remnant soul means that it is about to truly dissipate."

Luo Mo was somewhat helpless. He had thought that with only a wisp of his soul remaining, he would be remembered by many immortal kings of the alien realm after conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, thus helping him repair his soul, revive, and continue to overlook the eternity.

Unfortunately, having been forcibly awakened today, it has no chance of revival and is destined to perish from the heavens, its body and soul utterly destroyed.

“We cannot cross the boundary; there is no way to open that place,” the withered old man said.

"Heh, to scheme even against a dead man, Anlan and Yutuo are truly skilled." Luomo sneered, seeing through the implication at a glance.
