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

The boulder could no longer withstand the pressure, and cracks gradually spread, covering its surface. Streams of divine light burst forth, like a dazzling sun, illuminating the entire hall.

Qi Shi'an sensed that the boulder was about to explode, and decisively retreated several feet. The dazzling light began to disintegrate from the inside, and the boulder crumbled inch by inch, turning into dust.

Before the stone chips even hit the ground, they were swept away by an invisible force, revealing the treasure hidden within the boulder.

It was a stone niche about three feet square, in which floated a piece of metal about the size of two fists. It was golden and translucent, with fine natural Dao patterns and traces of tribulation lightning on it, flowing with a hazy golden light, accompanied by Daoist sounds in the darkness.

"This is... Dao Tribulation Gold? No, judging from the immortal aura it exudes, it is clearly different from later generations. This is Dao Tribulation Gold at the Immortal Gold level!"

Qi Shi'an was overwhelmed with excitement. He never expected that a large piece of Dao Tribulation Gold would be found inside a boulder.

According to legend, the Dao Tribulation Gold was a mass of tribulation gold essence nurtured by the tribulation power of heaven and earth after the creation of the world. Under the destructive power of endless thunder tribulations and Dao tribulations, it finally solidified over a long period of time.

Each piece of the formed Dao Tribulation Gold, only the size of a fist, weighs hundreds of thousands of kilograms, and during its formation process, it fully records the Dao imprints of all the Heavenly Tribulations.

The piece of Dao Tribulation Gold in front of us, about the size of two fists, has undergone countless tribulations, but it is certain that this quality of Dao Tribulation Gold was likely born before the Immortal Ancient Era.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

Qi Shi'an stared at the Dao Tribulation Gold, rubbing his hands together, his eyes gleaming, and drool unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The Dao Tribulation Gold is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Its core ability is to protect the soul. If it is used to forge armor, it can give the armor both physical defense and soul protection capabilities.

If one attacks an enemy with the weapons he forges, the power of the tribulation can invade the enemy's body, burn their foundation, and purify evil spirits and the source of darkness.

Now, this piece of Dao Tribulation Gold is so large that it's enough for Qi Shi'an to refine it into the Heavenly Demon Halberd and the Myriad Saints True Demon Armor, enhancing their power.

More importantly, the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Law imprint contained in the Dao Tribulation Gold is of great benefit to his cultivation of the Thunder Emperor Technique!

Qi Shi'an approached the stone niche and reached out to grasp the Dao Tribulation Gold.

However, the moment the fingertips touched it, the natural Dao patterns of the Dao Tribulation Gold came to life, radiating boundless light and releasing a vast tribulation power that made people's hearts tremble.

In a daze, a blurry figure seemed to emerge, perched high above the light of tribulation, its body surrounded by surging chaos and ethereal mist. The mere sight of its eyes caused the void to collapse and all paths to submit.

Qi Shi'an's heart trembled violently, his hair stood on end, and his spine felt cold. This aura was too strong, like a celestial king resurrecting, making it hard to breathe.

The next moment, he summoned two great immortal artifacts, releasing their vast immortal power to protect himself and barely withstand the pressure of the immortal king.

However, this is, after all, a Celestial King, and even after countless years, he is still beyond the reach of the human realm.

"This junior, Qi Shi'an, has stumbled upon this place by mistake and has no intention of offending your peaceful rest, senior."

Qi Shi'an's expression was serious. Facing a Celestial King-level figure, even a mere mark was enough for him to take seriously.

The blurry figure did not respond, but the natural Dao patterns on the Dao Tribulation Gold suddenly became active, and a bolt of lightning shot out and entered Qi Shi'an's brow.

This is a lingering obsession that records the life of the Celestial King.

The Tribulation Abyss Immortal King was originally a piece of gold born from the initial tribulation of the Emperor's Fall. After countless tribulations, it finally took form in the early Immortal Ancient Era and later became an Immortal King in the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era.

However, at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, an alien army invaded the Primordial Ancient Realm. The Jieyuan Immortal King fought a great battle with several Immortal Kings and was eventually seriously injured. In order to prevent his last treasure from falling into the hands of the enemy, he sealed it here and left it for future generations.

Qi Shi'an was shocked. The Tribulation Abyss Immortal King was actually a piece of Dao Tribulation Gold born at the beginning of the Emperor's fall. No wonder he was able to create an invincible technique like the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art. After all, he had been struck by lightning for an entire era.

He took a deep breath, held the sword tablet, and activated the Thunder Emperor Technique and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, attempting to resonate with the Dao Tribulation Gold and use the tribulation to transform the tribulation.

boom!

Suddenly, the Dao Tribulation Gold trembled violently, and the natural Dao patterns surged like waves. Then, the blurry figure turned into specks of light and disappeared into the Dao Tribulation Gold, losing all its sharpness and returning to silence. The oppressive feeling also disappeared.

The golden Dao Tribulation trembled slightly and floated down on its own, hovering in front of Qi Shi'an. The moment he touched it, he felt its heavy weight, enough to weigh millions of pounds.

Qi Shi'an looked at the Dao Tribulation Gold in his palm and grinned, "Looks like my luck is really good."

He looked at the stone niche. This thing could seal the Dao Tribulation Gold, preventing it from leaking any aura. If he used this stone niche to collect the Immortal Essence Jade Liquid, he might be able to succeed.

Without hesitation, Qi Shi'an reached out and grabbed the stone niche. It was icy cold to the touch, like a piece of ice crystal that had endured countless years.

The next moment, he tried to activate the stone niche and seal the immortal essence jade liquid into it.

As expected, a few drops of immortal essence were sealed inside, and its aura became ordinary instead of sacred. Even if it left the immortal pool, it would not evaporate.

What a pleasant surprise!

Qi Shi'an was overjoyed. He put away the stone niche and the Dao Tribulation Gold, and then wandered around the main hall to see if there were any other treasures.

The result was obvious: that half-pool of Immortal Essence Jade Liquid and Dao Tribulation Gold was the last treasure of the Tribulation Abyss Palace.

"That's true. Apart from the Dao Tribulation Gold, I estimate that many other things were taken away by the Eastern Heavenly Venerable."

Qi Shi'an was not disappointed. He transformed into a faint phantom and rushed out at lightning speed.

At this moment, outside the ancient land of the immortals, many young cultivators from other realms lingered, excited and thrilled, for so many experts had arrived.

They blocked all the key routes, set up a large formation, and even had experts from the royal family guarding the outside to ensure that Qi Shi'an would be kept here forever.

"It's been so many days, I hope that demon isn't dead inside."

"It's hard to say. According to the Dragon Slayer who escaped, even the Demon Lord managed to escape alive after provoking the Spirit Corpse. Even the Golden Horn Supreme couldn't stop him."

"That demon is truly despicable, actually plotting to frame our realm's supreme being. If it weren't for the help of several supreme beings, he might have perished!"

"Alas, it's a pity that the Spirit Corpse was extremely powerful. Even when several supreme beings joined forces, it still managed to escape."

A group of cultivators from another realm were discussing something outside the ancient land of the immortals. They felt that their cultivation was not enough, so they stayed behind and did not want to take any risks.

······

Within the ancient land of immortals, three groups of experts from other realms entered this place, seeking opportunities while searching for Qi Shi'an's whereabouts.

puff!

Suddenly, a black figure rushed out of the abyss and just as it appeared, it happened to encounter a group of alien creatures.

The creatures from the foreign land felt their hair stand on end, thinking that something strange had suddenly happened in the abyss, and a chill ran through them.

The leader, a Grand Cultivator at the Escape Realm, released his divine sense and immediately realized who it was. He was furious to discover that it was the Little Demon, which scared him so much that he almost ran away.

boom!

The powerful cultivator from another realm acted decisively, unleashing his strongest techniques to annihilate Qi Shi'an on the spot.

At the same time, several experts from other realms behind him also launched an attack, activating their magical artifacts and ancestral techniques, going all out to kill Qi Shi'an.

"A bunch of ants!"

Qi Shi'an looked disdainful, his palms glowing as he formed a profound and mysterious demonic hand seal, as if he were unleashing a forbidden divine power. The moment the hand seal appeared, the entire world was moved.

Rumble!

The demonic handprint descended, obscuring the heavens and earth, colliding with numerous ancestral techniques and magical artifacts. Countless runes flew up, surging through every inch of space, causing the winds to howl, black lightning to surge, and chaotic mist to permeate the area.

Accompanied by the sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling, the sky seemed to be collapsing and the earth was sinking. The vast and mysterious demonic power transformed into waves of destruction, rolling and surging, one after another, turning all weapons to ashes and knocking everyone down to the dust.

A giant handprint, like the Five Finger Mountain, sank the earth within a radius of a thousand miles, suppressing all alien creatures beneath it.

When the palm print dissipated, several patches of bloody mud remained on the sunken earth, and only one great cultivator was left on the verge of death.

"How is this possible? You actually managed to... kill us instantly..." The great cultivator from the alien realm coughed up blood, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with fear.

"Because... you're weak!"

After saying that, Qi Shi'an raised his hand and pointed a finger. A beam of jet-black light shot out and instantly pierced the forehead of the foreign cultivator, causing him to be completely annihilated.

"roar······"

In the distance, birdsong echoed from the clouds in the sky. A demonic bird heard the commotion and quickly rushed over.

"The hunt is about to begin!"

Qi Shi'an licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, like a ferocious beast, and actively rushed in that direction to find prey.

He has just emerged from seclusion, and it is time for him to wreak havoc and test his results. Since these alien creatures want to besiege him, then he will retaliate in kind. Those who should be stewed will be stewed, and those who should be refined will be refined!

This was a demonic bird, its entire body gleaming with golden light. It had two horns on its head, radiating dazzling divine light, and golden tail feathers behind it. It was incredibly fierce, swooping down from the sky.

"Are you the Golden Demon Bird?" Qi Shi'an asked calmly.

"You're the Demon Lord? Is it you who killed my clan's prodigy?!"

The golden demon bird looked down at him, its golden pupils gleaming with killing intent. Its sharp claws tore through the void as it swooped down to kill him.

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent as he charged forward, unleashing the Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique. His palm was like a heavenly blade, containing the universe within. With a single strike, endless blade light enveloped the golden demon bird, and with the burst of secret power, even the void was cleaved open with large cracks.

Rumble!

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in, divine light radiated everywhere, and the two figures instantly clashed, like two blazing suns, crisscrossing the heavens and earth, so dazzling that it was hard for people to open their eyes.

puff!

The battle ended quickly. In just a few dozen rounds, Qi Shi'an used a Demon Palm technique to pierce the head of the Golden Demon Bird, capture its primordial spirit, and refine it in an instant!

"Wow!"

Before its death, the golden demon bird let out a cry that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth, causing panic among the fierce birds and beasts in the ancient land of the immortals, shaking the earth and causing rocks to tumble down.

"Your blood is not as pure as that of the female demon bird."

Qi Shi'an sat atop the corpse of the golden demon bird, his blood-red eyes gleaming. He licked the blood from his fingertips, like a demon god from hell, reveling in the thrill of slaughter.

Chapter 359 The Devouring Heaven Emperor Clan

"What happened? Has a powerful member of the Golden Demon Bird lineage perished?" someone exclaimed in shock.

"Did they encounter something strange? Or were they killed by a mysterious powerful figure?"

The ancient land of immortals has existed since ancient times. It is as famous as the Heavenly Beast Forest, the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, and the Lost Sea in the borderlands. Although it is not as mysterious as the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, it is definitely dangerous.

This ancient land contains too many ancient traditions, as well as many mysterious dangers. Even a supreme being could perish if he took a wrong step.

"The third batch of powerful warriors who entered have perished. The cry of the golden demon bird is coming from the northeast!"

"That's the direction of the abyss. Did they encounter something strange in the abyss?"

Both groups of beings from the other land heard the final lament of the golden demon bird and guessed that it might have encountered some danger.

Logically speaking, the Golden Demon Bird's strength is at the level of the Escape One realm, so it shouldn't perish so easily. Only when it encounters an incomparable absolute power could it die so decisively.

The golden demon bird couldn't even send a signal; it could only muster its last strength to let out a cry.

A moment later, a group of powerful figures arrived at the mountain range outside the abyss and saw the remains of the golden demon bird, several streaks of blood and mud, and a creature with its forehead pierced. The earth was stained red with blood, feathers fell on the mountain walls, and broken bones were scattered everywhere.

Besides, a black figure was sitting by the campfire, skillfully urging the fire to roast the flesh of the golden demon bird. The oil dripped down, the meat was delicious, and it emitted an enticing aroma.

"Hmm, although this one isn't as fragrant as the last one, it's still delicious enough."

A dark figure sat alone, eating golden chunks of meat, which were covered with patches of auspicious hues.

"Ah...you little devil, I'm going to kill you!"

Many people screamed, their eyes wide with rage, utterly provoked and on the verge of fainting from anger. They never imagined such humiliation would happen again.

As Qi Shi'an chewed, he said, "Hey, calm down. Being eaten by me isn't a bad thing. At least it's an honor. Many people want this honor but can't have it."

"So you're the demon who killed countless cultivators in my realm? You don't look like much."

Just then, a creature appeared from afar, its light dazzling, as if it had returned from ancient times, traversing the long river of history.

It was incredibly powerful, with its black hair flying everywhere, its body radiating dark light, and its black wings flapping so powerfully that the sky seemed to collapse and the earth crack. Although it had a human body, it displayed the characteristics of a bird.

"It's the young lord of the imperial family who has arrived!"

Everyone's expression changed. This was a true imperial clansman who had actually arrived; it wasn't just a rumor!

It should be noted that the imperial bloodline is domineering, resulting in a small number of clansmen who rarely leave their homeland, living in the most ancient places and leading a life of isolation from the world.

Now, the imperial clan has once again stepped out of the ancient lands and onto the frontier, their divine might unfathomable!

"The Imperial Clan? That's incredibly nourishing! The descendants of the Immortal King, I've never tasted anything like it before." Qi Shi'an's eyes gleamed with intense light as he stared intently at the approaching Imperial Clan.

"How dare you! To disrespect the Imperial Clan is a crime punishable by extermination!" someone shouted sternly. With the Imperial Clan backing them up, they were no longer afraid.

"No one can disrespect the Imperial Clan!" another powerful cultivator at the Escape Realm roared, his teeth gleaming white, his stature tall and imposing, radiating a terrifying killing intent.

A group of people shouted, their voices shaking the heavens and earth, even the ancient land of the immortals.

The Imperial Clan is known as the supreme race, and every member is extremely precious because they are invincible and have almost no rivals!

Unfortunately, the population is too small, and their reproductive capacity is shockingly low.

"Hmph, you are just an ant from a remnant realm. It is already remarkable that you were able to kill the royal family and imperial family of my realm. Your achievements and talents are obvious to all."

The young adult of the imperial clan was not impatient. Instead, he revealed a faint smile. "With your talent, it would be a real pity to bury it in the Imperial Pass. You will never be able to achieve immortality. Why not cast your pearl in the dark and become my war servant? From then on, your life will be full of brilliance, and you will leave an immortal name in history."

His name is Qing Li. He was born into the Devouring Heaven Emperor Clan from another region. He is the second genius in the clan, second only to his elder brother Qing Kun!

"You? You dare to take me as your war servant?" Qi Shi'an's eyes were mocking as he said coldly, "You've only benefited from your ancestors' glory and were just born into a good family. How many steps have you taken to get to where you are today on your own?"
