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

At the same time, he mobilized the power of the seven divine treasures to hone them together. The newly opened Guixu Divine Treasure was growing rapidly, evolving into the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of the Great Abyss.

At the same time, the twin lotus blossoms opened up six lotus platforms, each of which carried a small layer of Guixu.

The flames soared into the sky, blurring the chaos. The place was terrifying, like an eternal furnace that burned away all evil in the world.

Finally, the fire went out, and as if gold nuggets were hidden in the ashes, some parts of Qi Shi'an's body glowed, while others were dry and charred.

He shook violently, and the dust fell away. His withered body was revitalized, and his whole body shimmered with a dark light, as if an immortal demon body had been reshaped.

The aura of supreme power erupted from his body!

Qi Shi'an carefully sensed it and found that his strength had increased dramatically, far surpassing that of someone at the Escape One Realm.

With his current level of cultivation, he doesn't even need to make a move. Just releasing a little bit of his aura is enough to make cultivators of other realms tremble and their physical bodies shatter.

"It's not over yet!"

Qi Shi'an sensed something and suddenly looked up at the sky. The world there was a hazy gray, chaos raging, the void was torn apart, fragments of time were flying, and a terrifying aura seemed to be spreading out.

He leaped into the air and flew out of the chaos, intending to enter the heavens.

Here, the sky and earth are shrouded in gray, the chaos has dissipated, leaving only endless emptiness, so dark and oppressive that it makes one feel restless and uneasy.

Without hesitation, he continued forward and came to a peculiar path paved with black stones, which looked as if they had been soaked in blood and turned blackish-red.

In addition, one corpse after another lay by the roadside, all of them radiating an astonishing fighting spirit. Even in death, an indelible mark still lingered within them.

The road ends, and ahead lies a cliff. Beyond that, all is darkness, with no scenery in sight—an endless abyss!

"really!"

Qi Shi'an suddenly realized that only those who attain enlightenment within the age of five hundred could step onto and see this path.

The age of five hundred is not enough to become a supreme being. This is a red line that was set at some unknown time. Once someone crosses it, it will trigger an even greater calamity for the supreme being.

The dark abyss ahead is the final test on the road to supreme power!

Qi Shi'an paused briefly, then strode forward, taking that step and stepping straight into the abyss.

With each step Qi Shi'an took, he was descending into an endless abyss, which meant ruin and destruction!

Qi Shi'an's figure disappeared from the front and continued to descend.

At this moment, he seemed to have an epiphany, and the Void Repository within his body unconsciously emanated, swirling around him and exuding a strange aura of the Great Dao, resisting the will of this place.

I don't know how far I've traveled, or how many miles I've descended. The surroundings are getting darker and darker, everything is blurry, and I can't see anything ahead.

However, as the Guixu Divine Treasure fought against the vast power here, it was actually growing stronger rapidly, just one step away from leaping into the realm of perfection!

This was an unexpected delight; the divine treasure, which had only been opened recently, had actually leaped forward at an extremely rapid pace thanks to the Supreme Tribulation.

However, this is also related to the characteristics of the Guixu Divine Treasury, where creation and annihilation are the true essence of Guixu!

Until one moment, Qi Shi'an's foot seemed to touch something. As he looked down, his eyes trembled slightly. The bottom of the abyss was full of corpses.

These are not real corpses, but rather imprints of the Great Dao, yet they are scenes that truly happened in the past.

Qi Shi'an's fighting spirit soared, his blood boiled, and he used the power of life and death of the Guixu Divine Treasury to break free from the restraints and resist the suppression.

However, death energy was rising from his feet, rapidly spreading throughout his body, threatening to turn him into a corpse.

"The Great Dao of Life and Death, creation and annihilation, are all powers possessed by my Divine Treasury. You cannot shake me!"

Qi Shi'an's body glowed, his seven divine treasures erupted, and vortexes formed from his pores, devouring death energy into the Netherworld.

As the deathly aura dissipated, a divine spear suddenly flew from ahead. Its sharpness was unparalleled, indestructible, and capable of piercing through anything, as if it could penetrate everything in the world.

Qi Shi'an remained unfazed, his forehead glowing as a spiritual embryo appeared. He activated three great sword techniques, transforming them into an immortal sword embryo that instantly shattered the divine spear.

He traveled for nine days and nine nights, during which he faced sudden life-or-death crises every day. The most serious one nearly resulted in his physical body being destroyed.

"Your desires are too strong. All the desires that people have—greed, anger, ignorance...—are fully manifested in you. They are not orthodox, not natural, but those of a demon!"

In the dark sky, there seemed to be a pair of eyes that could see through everything about those who embarked on this path, and a wisp of Daoist sound emanated from it, lingering in Qi Shi'an's ears.

Is it the questioning of the Great Dao, a reflection of one's own heart, or a subconscious introspection?

"Absurd! Superficial! My profound truths are beyond your comprehension!"

Qi Shi'an walked with unwavering determination, his conviction as strong as steel.

In an instant, the darkness receded, and he saw a cliff ahead.

Qi Shi'an tried to climb up, but silently, iron chains fell from the gray sky, locking his limbs and head, suspending him in front of the cliff, unable to move at all.

"Your path is that of the demons, and demons are inherently bloodthirsty and extremely evil; you cannot attain enlightenment through them!"

A grand voice resounded here, as if it came from Qi Shi'an's heart.

"Demons are desires in people's hearts. Those who can 'guard' their desires are true demons, those who can 'control' their desires are heavenly demons, and those who can find great freedom from all kinds of desires should be crowned emperors!" Qi Shi'an's eyes were deep and mysterious.

boom!

Between heaven and earth, various lights bloomed, and hundreds or even thousands of rattling iron chains pierced his body and bound him.

Then, all the symbols on the chains lit up, like raging flames, scorching Qi Shi'an's body.

Any one of these would be enough to destroy a powerful half-step supreme being, and now so many have appeared all at once.

"The myriad attachments of sentient beings gather into countless forms of demons, which are contrary to the natural order and will ultimately backfire on sentient beings!"

With a deafening roar, flames erupted, the intense heat of the various symbols completely engulfing Qi Shi'an. One iron chain after another pierced through him, burning his flesh until his body was charred and destroyed.

Qi Shi'an was experiencing the most terrible ordeal. His bones were broken and burned by the runes. His eyes were dim and sunken. Because his face lacked flesh, the sight was terrifying, like a charred skeleton.

The phrase "exhausted like a lamp running out of oil" perfectly describes his current state, where all his energy and vitality are being depleted.

"Buddha can save the world, and demons can also save people! Although sentient beings have countless attachments, the myriad forms of demons they create are all real. This is the appearance of sentient beings, and also the true nature of demons!"

Suddenly, Qi Shi'an's eyes shone brightly, and the Guixu Divine Treasury activated, releasing a vast power of life and death.

A vibrant life force emanated from him, and above his head, a vast abyss of nothingness appeared. Twin lotuses rose up, opening nine layers of lotus platforms, supporting the nine interconnected abyss layers!

boom!

Qi Shi'an soared into the sky, and with himself as the center, the Great Abyss of Guixu expanded wildly in all directions, forming a domain that devoured everything around it.

The body, which had been reduced to charcoal, was rapidly recovering, with flesh and blood growing back, bones reconnecting, and gradually emitting a luster.

Creation and annihilation—this is the true meaning of the Void Repository.

It can not only devour everything tangible and intangible, but also transform it into its own origin, which can be used to reshape the physical body, repair the primordial spirit, and evolve supreme supernatural powers.

Forced into this situation, Qi Shi'an unleashed his potential, was reborn from the brink of death, comprehended the Great Dao of Returning to Nothingness amidst annihilation, and achieved perfect Returning to Nothingness!

Soon, his body became full, his flesh and blood were translucent and shiny, his broken bones had been rebuilt, and his body was like refined iron that had been forged, making a clanging sound.

He charged upwards, knowing he could not break free without severing his chains. He wanted to ascend to the heavens and witness the true nature of the so-called Supreme Path.

A great demon, its entire body radiating dark light, soared into the sky, entering the firmament and causing the void to collapse, the Great Dao to rumble and roar.

Upon reaching the end, he saw a chaotic mass, hazy and indistinct, evolving and transforming into various patterns, such as plants, fish, insects, and all kinds of creatures. This was the manifestation of the Great Dao itself!

boom!

In an instant, chaos transformed into the World Tree, not very tall. As its leaves swayed, countless rules and an order like a rainbow pierced through Qi Shi'an's body.

Roar!

The next moment, it changed again, becoming a ferocious ancient beast, with the Yin and Yang energies circulating, and tens of thousands of sharp thorns growing on its body, piercing through Qi Shi'an's flesh and blood.

Qi Shi'an groaned and staggered away, leaving a bloody footprint with each step.

Then, a shower of light appeared, and the place changed again. The ancient beast transformed into countless seeds, carrying flower petals, which fell from the sky and took root in Qi Shi'an's body.

This is a form of torture that draws his blood, causing seeds to sprout and grow tendrils, piercing his bones and extracting his marrow.

This is the tangible manifestation of the Great Way, ever-changing, constantly descending, pressing down on people until they feel like they're about to explode.

To attain the Way, one must first embody the Way!

Qi Shi'an felt a sense of urgency and wanted to attain enlightenment, obtain the secrets of the origin of heaven and earth, and master the various rules and mysteries of this world. In fact, in this process, the Great Dao also wanted to devour living beings.

"From the moment I was born into this world, the roots of all paths were planted within me. Today, the path has long been united with my divine body. In terms of following the natural way, who can compare with me!"

Although Qi Shi'an was injured, he was still clear-headed and had gained some understanding.

This world wanted to prevent him from achieving enlightenment, even though his Dao was natural and unpredictable, it still wanted to devour him, simply because the Dao he cultivated was too powerful.

"All thoughts vanish into demons, all paths return to truth!"

Qi Shi'an's entire body shone with demonic light, his seven divine treasures trembled and emitted boundless light, his supreme aura swept across the sky, and all the iron chains were stretched straight and clanged.

Thousands of iron chains vibrated, with strands of demonic runes imprinted on them, spreading to the end and transforming into demonic chains.

At the same time, the Myriad Trees within his body erupted, unleashing countless chains of divine order that entangled all the iron chains. With a powerful pull, each chain was refined into essence, which was then drawn into his body to temper his true self.

In the sky, the road spun, gradually blurred, and finally disappeared quickly, without taking away a single cloud.

Qi Shi'an stood on the precipice opposite the abyss, stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

The Great Dao vanished so quickly, as if it were fleeing, that not even the auspicious signs celebrating the birth of the Supreme Being appeared.

Qi Shi'an huffed, "Damn it, am I a plague god? I can't win in a debate, I can't win in a fight, so in the end I'm not even going to put on an act anymore!"

Chapter 414 The Ancestral Court Reaches the Pinnacle of the Ultimate Path

When everyone saw Qi Shi'an emerge from the chaos and return to the desolate region, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

People from the Butian Pavilion were also there; several elders rushed over, their faces beaming with joy.

"Haha, my Heaven-Mending Pavilion has actually produced a Supreme Being! Congratulations!" Ancestor Mu Yan laughed loudly, his beard almost sticking up to the sky.

"Don't come any closer!" Qi Shi'an suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and their steps froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" The witch frowned, her heart skipping a beat.

Qi Shi'an's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the sky, where a terrifying aura was descending. As soon as he stepped out of the chaos, it immediately emerged, revealing its killing intent.

If I'm not mistaken, it is because the Seven Great Divine Treasures have achieved perfection, which has moved Heaven and Earth, leading to the birth of a new law. Therefore, Heavenly punishment is to be imposed to destroy the new path.

Rumble!

Just then, dark clouds pressed down from the sky, vast and boundless, black lightning intertwined, and blood-red killing light illuminated the heavens and earth, filled with a terrifying aura of destruction, as if it were about to unleash the most terrifying calamity in history.

"This...you little devil, what have you done?!"

The witch looked up at the dark cloud, her whole body turned cold, and her soul trembled.

The atmosphere of this place suddenly turned cold and gloomy, and everyone felt their primordial spirits chilled, with a chill seeping out from the cracks in their bones.

"How is this possible? We just survived the Supreme Tribulation, and not only did it not bring down auspicious omens, it has also attracted the Creation Tribulation!" the Golden Lion exclaimed in shock.

"Creation Tribulation? What is Creation Tribulation?" Shi Hao frowned.

"Whenever someone creates a completely new and complete system, it will touch a taboo, and the heavens and earth will unleash the most terrifying divine punishment."

The golden lion looked solemn; it had only seen a few words about it in ancient books and knew very little about it.

Because descriptions of the creation of the Dharma are scarce, and the complete Dharma that has been passed down from ancient times to the present can be counted on one hand.

Unexpectedly, in this era, it was fortunate enough to witness the arrival of the Creation Calamity.

"Don't come any closer."

Qi Shi'an's eyes shone like lightning as he gazed beyond the realm, then leaped up and rushed into the universe, tearing through the void and disappearing into the chaos.

As he left, the world instantly turned dark, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was black lightning or dark clouds. The mere aura emanating from him was enough to destroy even a supreme being.

Shi Hao watched quietly, even opening his Heavenly Eye to observe every detail of the Creation Tribulation with complete concentration.

Now, he is also on the path of creating laws, and one day he will also face the tribulation of creating laws. He must take this opportunity to prepare in advance.

Click!

Thunder roared, and billions of black and red rays of light intertwined, causing the entire sky to explode. Ten thousand forces pressed down, an unparalleled heavenly punishment was taking shape, and an astonishing blade of heavenly will tore through the galaxy, instantly slashing down.

Strange phenomena appeared frequently, filling the sky and the earth. This was an unprecedented divine punishment, full of ominousness and destruction, as if it were about to annihilate all living beings.

Qi Shi'an's body glowed, and every inch of his flesh and blood, including his three cores, limbs, and head, was crystal clear, with a vast chanting sound emanating from within him.

The voice was grand and ancient, as if it came from the river of time, and even the tribulation of lightning could not cover it up.

At the same time, the Ten Evil Techniques, the Supreme Heavenly Skill, the Immortal Scripture, the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture, and the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Skill—all kinds of supreme techniques circulated in his mind.

Like one Dao fruit after another, blooming within the body, every part of the limbs, bones, flesh and blood is releasing unparalleled power.
