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

The Stone King said with a serious expression, "Although the kings of the Immortal Realm will not defect to the enemy, their actions in order to get closer to that point are sometimes not as glorious as those of the foreign realms."

The Celestial Kings are supreme, with immortal bodies and eternal spirits. Each Celestial King is extremely difficult to kill and has already transcended the need for longevity substances.

They are truly immortal, their physical bodies will not perish even if the heavens collapse and their primordial spirits will endure even if the earth cracks. Even if the universe is destroyed and the great world comes to an end, they can still live on forever and look down upon the world!

Unlike true immortals who rely on longevity substances, their origins will continuously weaken if they stay in a world with incomplete laws and a lack of longevity substances for too long.

This is also why the four crippled immortals relied on a spring of immortality; their injuries were merely internal, but the lack of life-giving substances for healing was fatal.

Otherwise, how could the remnant immortal of the Immortal Palace, whose origin was damaged, be able to rebuild a flawless Dao Fruit after returning to the Immortal Realm for a thousand years?

"So all these days they've gathered so many immortal and near-immortal kings, it's all an act for us? To draw our attention here, so they can carry out their dark invasion plan across the Three Thousand Provinces?"

Meng Tian's face darkened, and he immediately thought of the practices of the alien realm.

No wonder they didn't launch a large-scale attack, but instead deployed troops in waves, and their presence at the edge of the desert was merely a deception.

"No, they really do intend to attack Tianyuan. They certainly don't trust that envoy from the Immortal Realm. But he must have reminded them, so they want to take a two-pronged approach."

The Stone King, his eyes gleaming, stood atop the Imperial City with his slender frame, and declared domineeringly, "However, they absolutely cannot cross the Imperial City."

"You don't mean to...?"

Qi Shi'an felt a chill run down his spine. He sensed that the Stone King's arrival was actually a farewell ceremony.

He was so lonely. Over the endless years, all of Stone King's comrades-in-arms had died in battle and turned to dust, leaving him all alone, guarding that imperial city by himself.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to talk to people outside his circle about his feelings.

He knew that Tianyuan would eventually collapse, but he still wanted to fulfill his responsibility of guarding Tianyuan and wanted to be buried in Tianyuan with the Imperial City.

"I am just a person from the old era, and in the end, I will be buried by the river of time." The Stone King smiled calmly, his face full of relief.

Everyone remained silent, understanding the meaning behind Shi Wang's words, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in their hearts.

The group of children that Shi Hao had brought back from the Imperial City stood on the city wall, their eyes blurred with tears, silently watching the thin old man on the primitive Imperial City.

That was their ancestor, the king who had always silently protected the imperial city!

At this moment, Qi Shi'an's palm flashed, and four orbs of dark light appeared. These were the primordial spirits of the four remnant immortals. He had obliterated much of their primordial spirit power with the Return to the Void and sealed them with the Netherworld until now.

At this moment, the primordial spirits of the four remnant immortals were still struggling, emitting a faint immortal light, but they were firmly imprisoned.

"If you want to detonate the Imperial City, you'll only be using your own Dao Fruit as a catalyst to drive your primordial spirit and the Imperial City to their doom. Why not use these four bastards instead?"

"The essence of these four remnant immortals is enough to replace our predecessors. Although they are remnant, they are still true immortal-level primordial spirits, and the power after their explosion is enough to cause the Heavenly Abyss to collapse."

Qi Shi'an was truly unwilling to watch this guardian disappear.

The Stone King suffered greatly, just like the Gu Zu who infiltrated a foreign land. They carried heavy burdens and silently protected the world, yet no one truly understood what they had endured.

The Stone King remained silent, his gaze trembling slightly as he looked at the four primordial spirits, seemingly struggling internally.

“Ancestor, since Tianyuan is now only a name, why not give up on it as soon as possible? As long as you are still alive, there is still hope,” Shi Yi said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, everyone spoke up, trying to dissuade the last remaining king.

“Ancestor, Cousin Shi Yi is right!” At this moment, Qin Hao also stepped forward and said.

"Senior Stone King, there will always be a vessel to carry you into this new era. Why not give yourself a chance to witness it? Besides..."

Qi Shi'an turned his head, pointed at the group of children that Shi Hao had brought back from the imperial city, and said, "Can you bear to watch these children lose another loved one?"

During this time, Qi Shi'an gave the children a look, and the group of children with tears in their eyes understood what he meant. They immediately started wailing and crying, and even knelt on the city wall of Diguan. Their cries hit everyone's hearts.

Shi Wang's thin body trembled slightly as his gaze fell on the group of children.

They knelt on the city wall, tears streaming down their tender cheeks, their little hands gripping the edge of the bricks tightly.

Although these children had never actually met him, he had met everyone.

He had lived for so long that he had long been accustomed to parting. One by one, his comrades-in-arms who had fought alongside him fell down, and he had buried too many people with his own hands.

He thought he had already hardened his heart and could calmly walk towards the end.

But at that moment, hearing those familiar children calling out, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if something had been touched.

After a long while, the Stone King turned to look outside the Heavenly Abyss, where a foreign army was gathering, and its terrifying pressure could be clearly felt even from a great distance.

The next moment, the Stone King's gaze gradually hardened, and with a wave of his hand, he captured the primordial spirits of the four remnant immortals.

boom!

Soon after, the sky at the very top of the abyss suddenly exploded, the red order transforming into a waterfall, and then into a vast, blood-red ocean, surging down.

The Stone King's resolute decision caught a group of alien creatures who were blocked outside the Heavenly Abyss off guard.

A near-immortal king stood outside the Heavenly Abyss and roared, "Stone King, what are you doing!"

"The Heavenly Abyss doesn't need your destruction. I will personally end this Heavenly Abyss, which was built by many Immortal Kings!"

The Stone King used all his power to ignite the primordial spirits of the four remnant immortals, triggering the laws of the Heavenly Abyss.

boom!

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, the abyss was destroyed, and the shattered universe was burned!

The scene was astonishing. One after another, huge stars exploded here like fireworks, and the energy fluctuations were terrifying, chilling even immortal beings.

boom!

What was most astonishing was that the primordial imperial city took flight and began to disintegrate, burning along with the primordial spirits of the four remnant immortals, glowing brightly, and turning into fragments.

This was a brutal and decisive move, unleashing its greatest power.

"It's over, we can't get through anytime soon, the Sea of ​​Laws has breached its banks!" A person from the other realm murmured to himself in shock.

A near-immortal king, his face grim, gritted his teeth: "That madman!"

What is this? They were ordered by the Immortal King to station their troops here, ready to launch a decisive battle at any time. They never expected that the other side would not give them the opportunity at all, but instead directly destroyed the Heavenly Abyss and breached the Sea of ​​Laws.

Moreover, this near-immortal king was certain that this terrifying ocean of laws could last for hundreds of years before automatically dissipating, and that it would be impossible to pass through it during that time.

boom!

When the original imperial city disintegrated and emitted light, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and the whole world was shocked.

This was a catastrophe. The destroyed primordial imperial city and the detonated primordial spirits of four true immortals activated the entire Tianyuan, causing the sky to collapse, the earth to crack, and giant rocks to shatter the clouds.

At the same time that the Heavenly Abyss collapsed and the Sea of ​​Laws breached its banks, the Stone King returned to the Imperial Pass, standing below and quietly watching the Heavenly Abyss he had guarded for so many years.

“In the end…it’s ruined…” Stone King murmured, his tone a mixture of melancholy and a sense of relief.

Boom!

Fragments of the original imperial city flew about, accompanied by the burning of four true immortal primordial spirits, which roared there before exploding with resentment.

Rumble!

The heavens and earth trembled violently, and the Heavenly Abyss became a sea of ​​red fire, with billions of runes burning. Accompanied by the laws of immortality, the power of rules intertwined, becoming eternal!

Immortal beings cannot pass through for hundreds of years unless the flame of cause and effect is extinguished!

"The creatures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths... ruthless enough!" A deep voice came from the other side, filled with resentment and hatred.

Chapter 423 Immortal Realm Sends Troops

At the highest point of the abyss, it completely cracked open, as if a celestial gate had suddenly opened, dazzling and magnificent, as if illuminating the past, present and future!

Boom!

The power of immortality poured forth, forming vast expanses of rules, and an endless rain of immortal light fell from the highest point, covering the Heavenly Abyss.

On the city wall of Diguan, many people were stunned. Was this the scene of Tianyuan's complete collapse?

The chains of divine order were dense, one after another, seemingly endless, all of them being immortal-level rules of power, and extremely advanced, seemingly possessing the majesty of a king!

That was a magic array, that was a seal. The power of confinement surged like a tide, sealing off the Heavenly Abyss and severing the two realms.

Faintly, people heard sacrificial sounds, as if a city was being built, or as if a wall was being erected to seal off the area.

When everything calmed down, people were astonished to find that the place had become hazy, with wisps of chaotic energy leaking out, making it impossible to cross.

"The methods the kings of the Immortal Realm have laid out within the Heavenly Abyss are truly numerous." The Stone King narrowed his eyes, revealing a terrifying aura.

From the day Tianyuan was built, he knew that it contained the methods of the kings of the Immortal Realm. He thought that it had been completely destroyed when Anlan and Yutuo came to kill him last time.

Unexpectedly, when he chose to destroy the Heavenly Abyss, he triggered a large number of magic arrays, releasing the highest power of the rules of the Immortal Realm!

"It seems the Immortal Realm also wants to know the secrets to taking that step." Meng Tianzheng stared intently ahead, his eyes deep and unreadable.

"Although Tianyuan is sealed forever, it won't be for too long. We must be prepared for a major battle at any time," the Stone King reminded him.

The methods employed by the Immortal Realm extract the essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even without invasion from other realms, this world is being weakened.

One day, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will come to an end, reaching their final destination.

Moreover, this realm is currently facing a dark invasion, and no one knows how many ancient lands will be eroded and turned into cursed lands.

·······

A foreign land, Mount Kings.

This place is shrouded in black mist all year round. In the center, one after another, statues of gods stand tall and majestic, reaching into the clouds and exuding supreme majesty.

boom!

Suddenly, a statue holding a crimson spear and an immortal shield opened its eyes, its pupils as black as an abyss. In an instant, the entire Mount Zhōngwān trembled.

"Tianyuan... has collapsed!"

A grand and deep voice resounded, like ten thousand bolts of thunder surging forth, startling the will of the other statues.

"However, the Sea of ​​Laws has breached its banks, and we cannot cross it, at least not for the next few hundred years."

"Just as that person said," Wu Shang said calmly.

Not long ago, five immortal kings set out, but just before they were about to ascend to the Heavenly Abyss, an immortal king from the Immortal Realm sent an envoy to stop them and proposed a cooperation.

They discussed some extremely secret ancient matters and made a deal.

They also learned the truth about Tianyuan, which is why they retreated.

However, the Immortal King did not fully trust them, and chose to take a two-pronged approach, deploying troops in the Abyss on one hand and pushing for the invasion of darkness on the other.

As expected, the Heavenly Abyss collapsed, the Sea of ​​Laws breached its banks, and even the highest power of the Immortal Realm's rules was activated, completely sealing the Heavenly Abyss.

Even if they force their way through, they will have to pay a huge price, and may even ruin their path to the throne, which would be a losing proposition.

"Fortunately, the plan to invade the Dark Realm was very successful. Some longevity families that were unable to enter the Immortal Realm are seeking a way out, and some people have already come knocking on their door." Yu Tuo chuckled, and the surrounding black mist surged wildly, distorting space.

"Let darkness devour that remnant world! In this era, that remnant world will surely perish, and no one can stop us from ascending to the throne!" An Lan declared domineeringly.

······

The Stone King remained at the Imperial Pass, guarding the Stone Clan's mountains and devoting himself to teaching the children.

On this day, Shi Hao, who had long resided in the lower realm, finally achieved the initial completion of the five great secret realms of the human body. He also reached the peak by using his own body as a seed, and his cultivation naturally increased, thus stepping into the realm of the Supreme.

After Shi Hao survived the Supreme Tribulation, the Creation Tribulation also descended.

boom!

Thunder roared, heaven and earth exploded, and all the forces pressed down—the tribulation lightning descended by the Heavenly Dao, and the blade of Heavenly Will also came to slay.

Shi Hao suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing like lightning, gazing outwards. He leaped up, rushing into the universe, tearing through the void, and disappearing into the chaos.

His tribulations will naturally be immense. By forging his own path and creating unprecedented methods, he is destined to trigger an unprecedented catastrophe!

After a year, this devastating disaster finally ended, and things gradually calmed down in the surrounding area.

At this moment, Shi Hao's five secret realms glowed, their entire bodies sparkling and dazzling, reaching complete perfection.

Furthermore, the Immortal-Slaying Curse was ineffective against him and could no longer diminish his cultivation.

"So this is the pinnacle of the ultimate path where Xiao An and the Grand Elder stand?"

Shi Hao opened his eyes, his aura was magnificent, his Supreme Dao Fruit was flawless and perfect, and the five secret realms were dazzling.

At this moment, he truly stood at the highest point of humanity and ascended to the pinnacle of the ultimate path!

"It's time to return to the Upper Realm!"

Meanwhile, the upper realm is also in turmoil, with darkness spreading rapidly and hundreds of states already fallen.

In the depths of darkness, shadowy figures roamed everywhere, and dark creatures were everywhere, as if an endless army was at work!

They were all beings who had not yet escaped, who died from the corruption of the black mist, and then resurrected, becoming completely corrupted by darkness.
