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

The void was blurry, and vaguely, Qi Shi'an felt himself being disintegrated. Along the way, he saw one star after another being born, decaying, and being destroyed.

He knew that once he passed through the most terrifying gate, he would step into the battlefield, where everything would become dangerous and illogical.

Rumble!

Everyone was shaken, and when they woke up, they found themselves standing on a piece of land.

Looking back, the chaos surges and churns, and a colossal city towers into the vast sky, standing there eternally and forever.

That was the Imperial Pass, which was now behind them, shrouded in chaos.

Chapter 342 Battle Between Two Realms

"This is what the area outside the Great Wall is like?!"

Is our world on the other side of chaos?

When people looked back and truly looked forward, the creatures that emerged from the pass for the first time were all shocked. The scene was desolate, like an old ink painting, ancient and distant.

This is a vast Gobi Desert, stretching as far as the eye can see. The blood-red sunset is enormous, like an immortal beast suppressing the end of the world, crimson and bewitching.

In the vast desert, wisps of smoke rose from the fires lit by our ancestors. They have burned for thousands of years, and some have even been burning for hundreds of thousands of years.

A great river flows through the desert, stretching for countless miles. From ancient times to the present, it has never dried up, its waters surging and roaring past.

Upon closer inspection, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The river water was a vivid, alluring red, like divine blood flowing through it. Despite the passage of countless years, it retained its crimson hue, as if it would never fade.

"Legend has it that this is a river in the Yellow Springs. It was originally yellow, but it was stained red by the blood of the strong on the battlefield, and it has remained crimson ever since, with a pungent smell of blood," said a great cultivator riding a Devouring Beast.

There, a blood-red river surged, splashing waves from time to time, and some skeletons floated to the surface. These skeletons were all strange; some were snow-white and crystal clear, some were golden, and some emitted a dense black light.

The river contains countless skeletons, all belonging to powerful figures of the past, and some even possessing the bones of immortals!

It is impossible to count how many lives have been buried in this river. It is the largest meat grinder and burial ground between the two realms.

boom!

A strange man waved his sleeves, causing sand and stones to fly, clearing a large area of ​​the desert ahead. As a result, divine bones were found scattered everywhere, glowing brightly, and their aura has not faded to this day.

There are so many of them, and they are all severely damaged, making it difficult to identify which part they belong to. There are countless broken bones.

The great war back then was so fierce that countless lives from both realms were buried in the desert.

"Hmm, that's..."

In the vast desert, dozens of miles away, there is a blood spring that gushes forth, and the smell of blood can be smelled from a great distance. Beside the blood spring, there is an extremely beautiful flower, so enchanting that it is intoxicating.

"The Flower of Hell, no one is allowed to touch it!"

The great cultivator immediately turned pale, revealing fear as he felt a chill and steered the Devouring Beast backward.

"What is this?" someone whispered.

"This is the flower of hell, which even the supreme beings cannot behold. If you approach it, you are guaranteed to die without a burial place!" an elder explained.

Everyone was shocked and listened carefully to the elder's words.

Legend has it that the Flower of Hell has a mysterious origin. Some say it is the result of the soul of a true immortal after death, which is then reborn by being nourished by the blood of countless lives on the battlefield.

Some say that after the immortals died, they were reborn in another form, taking root in the demonic soil stained with the blood of billions of living beings, devouring the remains of immortals, and giving birth to this flower.

Long ago, a supreme being saw this flower for the first time. It was so beautiful and flawless that he couldn't resist approaching it. But as soon as he touched it, he immediately exploded and turned into a blood mist.

On the same day, the flower of hell matured and bloomed in full here. Its fragrance spread for hundreds of thousands of miles, and the world turned red, as if covered by the sunset. Within this range, regardless of friend or foe, all turned into blood and perished here!

At that moment, all the young people felt a chill run down their spines, their nerves were on edge, and they dared not be careless in the slightest.

Just as the great cultivator was preparing to send someone to inform the powerful Emperor Guan, the flower of hell had already disappeared into the earth.

Before it matures, it has a strong sense of self-preservation and can fly and disappear into the ground, making it impossible for even those at the first level of the Escape Realm to catch up.

"Hmm, I wonder where the Flower of Hell will wreak havoc this time. I just hope it won't be one of the other eight sects," an old man murmured.

"This is beyond our control, but we still need to report it so they can be prepared." The great cultivator on the Devouring Beast sent someone back to the Imperial Pass, and then led his troops to continue their journey.

"Beyond this desert, the territory will be even wider, with strange places such as the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, the Ancient Burial Domain, and the Heavenly Beast Forest. Where do you want to go?" someone asked Qi Shi'an.

Several talented individuals who were able to act freely were also present and could leave the group with them to hone their skills on their own.

"Of course I will follow the army and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn merits." Qi Shi'an's eyes were resolute.

He was going to the front lines of the battlefield, where he would fight to the death and break through to the Realm of Self-Slaying by bathing in the blood of alien creatures!

As the army marched forward, the geniuses who were free to move around also chose to follow, wanting to witness the so-called war between the two worlds.

"The other side has an Immortal guarding them, and we no longer have any True Immortals left. Can we hold them off?" a genius asked in a low voice. It was his first time coming to the area outside the pass, and he knew nothing about it.

"Over the years, all the true bloodlines of our realm have perished and ceased to exist. There is a reason why various races have been able to stand for so long," a great cultivator said with a faint smile, without offering further explanation.

As they ventured deeper into the desert, everyone unconsciously looked up, as if something was obscuring the view above, vast as a star field.

"Is that Tianyuan?"

Qi Shi'an looked up at the sky, where a patch of pure white and black mist intertwined, like yin and yang embracing each other.

Most importantly, it formed a huge circle, vast and boundless, turning into a terrifying vortex, forming an abyss, and looming over the desert!

However, this abyss leads to the sky and plunges into the boundless unknown, rather than leading to the underground.

In that abyss, many fragments of stars rose and fell with the black and white mist, forming a terrifying demonic power, a magnificent and boundless sight.

"This Heavenly Abyss is mysterious and unknown. Many supreme experts have explored it, but no one has ever reached its end. It guards the edge of my realm," said the great cultivator on the Devouring Beast.

"How did Tianyuan manage to guard it?"

Many people were puzzled, looking at the abyss so close yet not noticing anything particularly unusual.

"The Heavenly Abyss is ineffective against ordinary beings, but once an immortal crosses over and enters this area, they will be sucked into the Heavenly Abyss and disappear!" the great cultivator said solemnly.

"What?!" Many young people turned pale and stumbled backward.

"Haha... Don't worry, ordinary creatures will not encounter any problems walking here. Only immortals will be devoured." The great cultivator on the Devouring Beast explained with a smile.

Qi Shi'an gazed intently at the abyss above his head, knowing in his heart that this abyss was the very thing that had caused the absence of immortals in this realm.

Tianyuan extracted the essence of this world, and the hidden array set up by the kings of the Immortal Realm caused the extraction to proceed too quickly, resulting in the extinction of immortals in this world.

This is the situation that the Immortal Realm wants to see. They do not want another Immortal King to emerge from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, otherwise they cannot use this realm as a buffer zone, nor can they sit back and watch the tigers fight.

The appearance of a Celestial King will nourish the Celestial King's homeland, complete the incomplete laws of a realm, restore order to all paths, and make it easier for cultivators to comprehend the Great Dao.

This is why the Immortal Realm is unwilling to produce another Immortal King in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. One Immortal King can pull the dilapidated Great World, which is on the verge of decay, back to a prosperous Immortal Dao environment!

"There are living creatures ahead!"

Just then, a loud shout pulled Qi Shi'an back to the right track. On the horizon, the enemy had already spotted the Nine Heavens Army, because there were too many of them and they were too conspicuous.

"Form ranks and prepare for battle!" the great cultivator shouted, leading his troops to form ranks and prepare to charge.

This was no ordinary formation; dazzling beams of light shone between the troops, soaring into the sky to form an energy shield that protected the army.

"what are they doing?"

There, a group of enormous creatures, some humanoid, some ancient beasts, and some birds of prey, were constructing a mysterious magic array using countless divine materials.

"They're setting up a grand formation to break through the Heavenly Abyss and pave the way for the immortals. That formation must be destroyed!" shouted the great cultivator on the Devouring Beast.

"Kill!" roared a legion leader.

boom!

The earth-shattering drumbeats resounded, signaling the imminent outbreak of a great battle. One army after another charged forward, engaging in fierce combat with the alien creatures.

"Waaah..."

A mournful horn sounded, and countless creatures appeared on the horizon, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

The foreign land was well-prepared, and its army was already waiting in formation. They immediately stopped constructing their formation and began to engage in battle.

"kill!"

On the other side of the Nine Heavens, a great cultivator riding on a white jade tortoise roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, his battle halberd sweeping across the universe as he slashed forward.

Chi!

The halberd swept across the sky like an eternal celestial light, indestructible, causing the bodies of countless alien cultivators to crack and then explode.

In the desert ahead, the wind howled, countless alien creatures screamed in agony, their blood splattering and staining the sand, which was then swept up by the wind, forming a surging wave of blood.

This kind of killing is terrifying and bloody, but that's war—a meat grinder, extremely cruel.

"court death!"

A monster rose from the foreign army, with a human body, a lion's head, and a crocodile's tail. Its golden hair was flowing freely as it roared at the sky and charged forward, brandishing a spear.

In an instant, the battle reached its climax. Blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield, and people fell every moment. The sky was impacted by the battle aura and seemed about to shatter.

puff!

A powerful cultivator perished when the creature with a human body and a lion's head pierced his skull with a spear, shattering the shell of the divine tortoise beneath him and drawing out a large amount of blood.

"I've come to kill you!"

Just then, the great cultivator riding the Devouring Beast swooped down, wielding a crimson-gold mace, and swung it forward, colliding with the spear and producing a piercing sound.

At this moment, the vast desert was filled with a bloody and tragic scene, the roars shook the heavens and the battle cries soared to the sky.

This is the battlefield, real and bloody, with severed limbs flying everywhere and blood falling like rain.

"You are all my war merits!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were sharp, his hair was flying, and his battle blood was boiling. He was like a peerless demon descending to earth, charging into the battlefield and reaping the lives of cultivators from other realms.

His opponent was a foreign expert at the late stage of the Self-Slaying Realm. This person was covered in black hair, like an ape, and was over 500 feet tall. He roared with his head raised, shattering the clouds in all directions, which was terrifying.

The parts of the black-haired ape's body stained red with blood looked even more ferocious. It threw a punch with astonishing power, carrying unfathomable strength, and charged towards Qi Shi'an to kill him.

At the same time, several experts at the Self-Slaying Realm attacked, intending to surround him and kill him with all their might.

"Great Freedom Demon Fist!"

Qi Shi'an gave a light shout, and with a wave of his hand, the wind howled and ghosts wailed. The six directions of heaven and earth surrounding his fists were like black holes, as if the gates of hell had been opened, with dead souls reviving and eerie winds surging within.

In the dim light, countless creatures flew out from the six directions of heaven and earth, including the Nine Nether Beast, the Demon Dragon, the Blood Phoenix, the Demon Buddha, the Ink Qilin, etc., accompanied by boundless demonic light rushing between heaven and earth, vast and mighty, making people feel dizzy.

In an instant, the universe was reversed, time and space were disordered, and the entire world seemed to be ruled by a demon. Light filled the sky and the ground, and demonic shadows were everywhere. Ten thousand demons surged, radiating vast demonic power, covering the sky and the sun, creating an extremely terrifying scene.

Rumble!

A figure in black robes traversed the heavens and earth, engaging in a fierce battle with several powerful figures from other realms. Instantly, the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and the void crumbled inch by inch, as if the entire world was about to be torn apart, revealing surging chaotic energy.

In that shattered void, the Milky Way rumbled and spun, the celestial river descended to earth, demonic light shot straight to the heavens, and blood, red tinged with black, splattered. In the hazy distance, it seemed as if someone's chest had been pierced, and someone's head had been severed...

In an instant, their bodies were blasted apart, turning into blood mist, and they perished completely in the desert.

Although the black-haired ape was not dead, its body was badly mangled, with holes piercing its chest, thighs, calves, arms, and other parts, leaving it exposed and bleeding profusely. It was a pitiful sight.

"To die by the hand of this Demon Lord is your greatest honor!"

Immediately, Qi Shi'an seized the opportunity to attack, wielding a sword that seemed to flow like a great river. He slashed forward, his sword energy crisscrossing and transforming into a celestial river, like a heavenly waterfall, engulfing everything in front of him and splitting the world in two.

"A madman!"

The black-haired ape roared and used its ancestral technique. Dark light surged forth, forming a dark divine hammer that descended from the sky, suppressing the sword energy celestial river, intending to kill Qi Shi'an here.

Click!

The sword energy annihilated the heavens and the ten directions, containing the power of annihilation. It instantly shattered the Dark God Hammer, and then, with undiminished momentum, it pierced through the holy light surrounding the black-haired ape with overwhelming force, directly penetrating its chest, causing its body to explode and blood to splatter everywhere.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an's battle merit plaque emitted a light and displayed the number 'six', meaning that he had killed six alien beings.

"That's not enough! I want to bathe in more enemy blood, to use the blood and bones of alien creatures to strike me down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shi'an charged into the alien army, as if a demon from beyond the realm had descended to earth and was wreaking havoc on the land!

Chapter 343 Shining Brightly

"Roar..."

A deep, earth-shattering roar erupted, and dozens of cages appeared within the alien camp. With a clang, the iron gates were opened.

A group of ferocious beasts burst out of the cage, each one exuding a terrifying, savage aura.

These ferocious beasts range in size from hundreds to thousands of feet, with a very few even reaching ten thousand feet in size. They are all terrifying creatures, as if they have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

These ferocious beasts were too brutal. Their bodies shone brightly, like suns, and their ferocity was overwhelming. They were invincible and quickly caused heavy casualties among the alien forces, devouring their severed limbs alive.

The king beasts, in particular, are incredibly powerful. Their scales are so hard that any weapon or magic attack they use has little effect, as if it were just a tickle.
