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

Upon learning of this situation, all the major powers were eager to enter the Immortal Realm and escape this world.

They desperately set up arenas, where countless young cultivators competed and climbed step by step, all in an effort to attract the attention of the Immortal Realm and seek an opportunity for advancement.

At this moment, in the Xuanyuan Clan Mountain Range of the Imperial Pass, in a place surrounded by ten divine mountains, there were sword lights and halberd beams soaring into the sky, demonic fists pressing down on the heavens and earth, and a long river of sword energy hanging high in the sky, a scene that was extremely terrifying!

"The sword opens the Southern Heavenly Gate, the blade knocks at the Northern Heavenly Gate!"

At the center of the ten divine mountains, a figure in black robes closed his eyes, wielding a sword and dagger, his body radiating the true meaning of the Great Dao, and wisps of divine light overflowing from his body, dancing with fragments of laws, as if resonating with heaven and earth.

After he expounded on the Daoist arts and absorbed the methods of the Emperor's Fall, his Eight Great Divine Treasures improved significantly, and he innovated and brought his own Dao to a higher level.

Within the spiritual embryo and divine treasure within the body, countless sword and saber energies intertwined, outlining the initial forms of two heavenly gates. These then rose from the ground, forming a southern heavenly gate and a northern heavenly gate, and became increasingly complete.

Qi Shi calmed himself down and stepped into the South Heavenly Gate. Instantly, Dao fire rose from the South Heavenly Gate, scorching his primordial spirit and testing his Dao heart.

However, this trial posed no difficulty for Qi Shi'an. He had already overcome it once during the Supreme Tribulation, and now, going through it again, he found it even easier.

Then, his primordial spirit stepped into the North Heavenly Gate, and a surge of reincarnation and creation power came over and enveloped his primordial spirit.

This gate was constructed from the essence of Youdu and contains the power of reincarnation and creation. Only by breaking through the cycle of life and death can it stand tall in the ancestral court.

Qi Shi'an paused, sat down on the ground, and frantically deduced the path of reincarnation.

Unbeknownst to them, the North Heavenly Gate gradually stabilized.

Rumble!

Qi Shi'an's primordial spirit shone brightly, and the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art was pushed to its limit, with the Heavenly River piercing through the four Heavenly Gates.

At this moment, the primordial spirit continuously travels through the four heavenly gates. With each passage, it accepts the Great Dao Laws of the corresponding gate, and its physical body resonates synchronously with the ancestral court continent until the Great Daos of the four gates merge.

The flow of the Milky Way washes over the four Heavenly Gates, continuously strengthening their foundations, nourishing them, and expanding the upper limit of the Daoist principles they can bear.

"open!"

Qi Shi'an's spiritual embryo continuously formed hand seals, sometimes transforming into a sword seal, sometimes into a knife seal, sometimes into a halberd seal, and sometimes into a fist seal. The Myriad Dao Tree exuded boundless Dao energy, enhancing the Daoist techniques.

In the void of the ancestral court, celestial palaces were constructed, and divine palaces and temples were formed in various Taoist methods, with the aura of the Great Dao flowing among them.

Qi Shi'an's primordial spirit roamed among these celestial palaces, and with each palace he passed through, his understanding of the Great Dao deepened.

This is the wonder of the Dao Realm system!

At this time, Qi Shi'an's ancestral temple was no longer loose; one after another, heavenly palaces stood on it in an orderly manner, and four heavenly gates stood on the four sides of the ancestral temple.

Qi Shi'an had been in seclusion cultivating, and he had to make the most of every minute and second.

He knew that the darkness of the alien realm would recede with the arrival of the end times, so there was no need to waste too much energy on it.

The kings of the Immortal Realm certainly do not want the buffer zone of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to disappear prematurely, and they will definitely intervene to slow down the invasion of darkness.

Moreover, Qi Shi'an was happy to see the beings of the Immortal Realm and the alien army mutually attrition.

······

After the collapse of Tianyuan, the end of the Dharma era is approaching, and the geniuses of various Dao lineages are preparing to enter the Immortal Realm.

On this day, various creatures emerged from the dark regions of the Three Thousand States, staged a collective uprising, and headed towards the misty area, appearing before the cultivators of the Three Thousand States.

"Oh no! Those demons are about to attack!"

"My God, these people we once knew, our own kind, have all been transformed into darkness, reduced to servants, and are now fighting us!"

This was a day of upheaval. Many people woke up and saw the truth: the creatures from the occupied territories had emerged and become dark beings.

There is no doubt that a tragedy of infighting could occur at any time.

"Where are the celestial reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet? Weren't they supposed to send down heavenly soldiers and generals?" Someone was so anxious that they jumped up and down.

Especially for those sects located near the Dark Territory, whose foundations are all nearby, without the arrival of powerful reinforcements, their sects will sooner or later be shrouded in darkness.

Although various Taoist traditions are retreating, they cannot take many things, such as the foundation of their traditions, with them.

At the same time, a large number of low-level cultivators and mortals were also unable to retreat.

Even though Qi Shi'an issued a decree and Meng Tianzheng dispatched many elites from the Imperial Pass to assist, the area was too vast and the population too large, and some people could not be evacuated in time.

Furthermore, people discovered that these dark creatures were tearing at and devouring each other in a bloody and brutal manner, even mortals who had been corrupted by darkness were not immune to this.

Dark creatures that devour other beings will become exceptionally powerful if they survive.

Clearly, this is a dark evolution, and in the end, it may give birth to an extremely powerful and unpredictable force.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Suddenly, a series of drumbeats resounded throughout the heavens and earth, extremely deep and muffled, like a tsunami erupting, or like the war drums of the heavenly court beating. No matter where they were, cultivators throughout the nine heavens and ten earths could hear them.

"The Immortal Realm has dispatched troops!" someone exclaimed with elation.

In the sky, a group of people and horses strode across the heavens, appearing above the outer edge of the dark region.

Chapter 424 As the Dharma-ending Age Approaches, Each Seeks Their Own Way Out

The Immortal Realm has finally dispatched troops, sending a force to the outskirts of the Dark Area.

They were not many in number, but each of them was shrouded in celestial light, their banners fluttering and releasing chaotic energy that concealed their magical power fluctuations while simultaneously intimidating dark creatures.

"Is this the only team? A mere few dozen people, can they suppress so many dark creatures?" someone questioned.

"The situation is serious. Everyone retreat and abandon the Hundred Provinces!" A commander-level figure commanded from the sky.

Those who came from the Immortal Realm all rode auspicious beasts, moving at great speed, measuring the outer edge of the dark region and observing along the borders of each state.

"Refund it."

Left with no other choice, they ultimately retreated, abandoning hundreds of states.

"This is a dragon vein. Use this as a dividing line. All those belonging to that side should abandon it and retreat to this side!" said a powerful figure from the Immortal Realm.

Many cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces turned pale. They had abandoned too much territory, and there was absolutely no way they could return to their mountain gates.

"Waaah..."

The conch shell rang out, and a passage appeared in the distance. The real army of immortals emerged, with groups of people walking out in droves, all shrouded in immortal mist.

The True Immortal Commander of the Immortal Realm issued the order: "Set up the formation and proceed according to the original plan!"

Rumble!

One array platform after another flew up, transforming from the size of a palm into the height of a giant mountain, landing on the dragon vein of the earth to suppress this dividing line.

Then, countless flags flew out like raindrops and were planted on the dragon vein, truly beginning to seal off the dark area.

The dragon vein rises abruptly from the ground, like a magnificent city wall, stretching across the heavens and earth, grand and awe-inspiring.

More than 700 states were polluted and turned into dark zones, isolated on the other side. Three thousand states lost nearly a quarter of their territory in an instant!

All the cultivators felt a chill in their hearts, sensing that the disaster was even more terrible than expected. The fact that the Immortal Realm's troops were only on the defensive and not attacking directly was a bad sign, making everyone uneasy.

"Why? They haven't become a force to be reckoned with yet; they could be easily killed." Some leaders of the Three Thousand States were puzzled.

Isn't this the perfect time to strike while the dark creatures are still evolving?

"What do you know? What's truly terrifying are those dark substances and the powerful figures lurking behind them. If we rashly intrude without understanding the situation, even we will perish!" the Immortal Realm expert rebuked.

These words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

This is indeed terrifying. The real dark disaster has only just begun, and we haven't even seen the mastermind behind it yet.

If a large number of powerful beings from the Immortal Realm were to perish inside and transform into dark creatures that devour each other, who knows what kind of super-evolvers would be born?

Along this dragon vein, banners fluttered in the wind, and many celestial beings were stationed there, all extremely serious, watching the situation on the other side.

In fact, even cultivators in the Immortal Realm know very little about dark matter; only truly great figures understand its secrets.

As the immortal cultivators used ancient magical artifacts to explore the dark area, they saw a box, which was suspended above the head of a dark seed.

That dark seed was incredibly powerful, constantly devouring dark creatures to strengthen itself. It quickly condensed into a massive physical body and transformed into a supreme being.

"I will never let you become the second Yu Tuo!"

A powerful figure from the Immortal Realm intervened, engaging in an earth-shattering battle with the Dark Seed, ultimately resulting in both being severely injured.

An old man suddenly appeared and took a drop of dark blood from the dark seed. Then, in full view of everyone, the old man was taken away by the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm went to such lengths just to seize a drop of blood from the Dark Seed.

The great battle ended hastily, and the Dark Seed did not pursue the old man, allowing him to leave with his dark blood.

In his view, darkness was unstoppable, and whatever was done was merely a death struggle, for darkness would eventually spread throughout the heavens!

Boom!

Soon after, a tremendous roar resounded between heaven and earth, and the entire world was in turmoil. A vast power of order permeated the air, as if a giant was wielding a divine axe to recreate the universe.

Many powerful people in the world changed their expressions, felt a chill, and a sense of powerlessness arose.

That's beyond the realm. An ancient realm is floating here, close to the Three Thousand Provinces. They will most likely connect in the near future, and the true integration is about to begin!

The heavens and earth trembled violently, the great realm was in turmoil, and the nine heavens and ten earths were in the process of integration, and sooner or later they would merge into one.

In the distance, that ancient realm, shrouded in a hazy starry sky, emitted a faint halo as it slowly approached. As it drew near to the Three Thousand Provinces, countless bolts of lightning flashed between them, and terrifying rules unfolded.

People worry that if they collide and connect, will it destroy many living beings in both worlds?

This could be a major disaster, causing anxiety and worry.

Boom!

At the same time, some "heavens" in the nine heavens are approaching each other and slowly merging, about to return to one place.

The forces of the Immortal Realm gathered in one place and began to regroup. They did not engage in a decisive battle with the dark creatures. They were discussing and deliberating, and some even suggested an immediate retreat.

Because, in an instant, the essence of heaven and earth suddenly decreased sharply!

With the slightest fusion, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will become much more barren. This is the backlash from Heaven and Earth, which is rapidly ushering in the Dharma-ending Age!

The so-called return of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to one realm is merely a facade. The true essence is that it will accompany the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age, or even the Age of Extinction of Spirits.

"It's faster than I expected."

Standing before the gate of the Stone Clan at the Imperial Pass, the Stone King's gaze pierced through the boundless void, revealing everything that was happening across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

“Ancestor, are you going to the Immortal Realm? There, you might have a better chance of finding the great medicine to repair your Dao foundation,” Shi Hao said from the side.

Since reaching the pinnacle of the Dao, he returned to the Nine Heavens. On his way, he also went to the outer edge of the Dark Region of the Three Thousand Provinces to observe the great battle between the Immortal Realm experts and the Dark Seeds before returning to the Imperial Pass.

“They won’t welcome me,” the Stone King said solemnly. “I don’t want to go in either. There are people there who are hostile to our Stone Clan.”

"Who? Could it be that the person who orchestrated the smear campaign against the descendants of the Seven Kings by the Four True Immortals in conjunction with the ancestors of the Wind Clan?" Shi Hao's eyes were cold, revealing a ruthless intent beneath his calm demeanor.

“That’s a top expert among the Immortal Kings. Even if you told me, you’re not someone you can handle right now.”

"I will become king!" Shi Hao's gaze was resolute.

“I’m sure he’s telling the truth, because even my master didn’t dare to tell his fortune.”

Cao Yusheng chuckled, holding a miraculous herb in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Since his master left, he had been wandering around until recently when he met Shi Hao and they returned here together.

The Stone King remained silent for a moment, then sighed: "The progenitor of the remnant immortals of the Immortal Palace, this person was powerful. At the end of the last era, I heard that he had already entered the ranks of the supreme immortal kings. In terms of foundation, he was only below a few long-established supreme immortal kings."

"What are you afraid of? My brother is incredibly powerful. Sooner or later, he'll take down that progenitor of the Immortal Palace's remnant immortals! Ah... you damned dog, let go of me!"

Cao Yusheng had just finished speaking when a puppy bit his butt.

"Give me back my magic medicine!" the puppy grumbled, biting Cao Yusheng's buttocks and refusing to let go.

"Damn it, that's my miracle drug! When did it become yours?!" Cao Yu jumped up and down in anger, wrestling with a puppy.

Boom!

Several days later, two pieces of "sky" in the heavens connected together, completing the fusion.

There was no massive earthquake as expected, no countless deaths or injuries; only the overwhelming power of the rules swept over all cultivators, causing many to cry out involuntarily.

They vaguely sensed that they had lost something, something extremely important!

Many people look up at the sky, then look down at their own hands, touching their flesh, wondering what they have lost.

I can't quite explain it, but I just feel like I've lost something very important.

“The mandate of heaven has passed!” The Stone King said solemnly, looking up at the sky.

The backlash from heaven and earth is already underway; the destiny bestowed upon all things is being harvested and severed, and the lifespans of many people will rapidly decline.

When the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are completely merged into one, some living beings will die of old age!
