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

Blood-red lightning crackled around him, a grotto-heaven hung behind him, his entire body radiated a dazzling, blood-black light, and his black hair danced in the wind, making him resemble an invincible demon, his fierce and tyrannical aura sweeping across the heavens and earth.

"Go to hell!"

The four powerful figures shone with divine light, and endless runes intertwined into waves, a vast expanse that covered the sky. Countless dense raindrops transformed into sharp swords, sweeping towards Qi Shi'an from the heavens and the earth.

"Hey!"

Qi Shi'an spread his ten fingers wide, and ten thick, blood-black lightning bolts flew out from his fingertips, exuding a terrifying aura and erupting with a deafening roar.

He waved his hands, and lightning surged with his fingers, stirring the entire watery realm, connecting the lightning with the rain.

A net of lightning wove itself around them, with countless blazing bolts of electricity moving at breakneck speed like golden snakes, restless and turbulent.

The waves and swords collided with the lightning net, emitting scorching, steaming water vapor. The overwhelming waves and raindrops were melted and annihilated by the lightning, and then exploded as a whole.

Qi Shi'an continued to wield his weapon, and ten thick bolts of lightning, like ten blood-black demonic snakes, danced wildly, piercing through the rain and turning one man's arm into a bloody mist.

The four strongest members of the Rain Clan were all injured, coughing up blood as demonic lightning entered their bodies, eroding their internal organs.

"If you have no trump cards left, you will perish!"

Qi Shi'an's lips curled up slightly, his smile carrying a hint of coldness. A flash of bloodlust appeared in his eyes, and an incomparably pure killing intent descended like the dead of winter.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant. This day next year will be your death anniversary!"

A young man from the Rain Clan roared as he carried his mangled body to a small, dark altar. A yellowed piece of paper was placed on the altar, and the four of them began to activate their magic to worship, silently chanting incantations.

During this time, Qi Shi'an did not make a move, letting them worship and pray as they pleased. He knew that it was the decree of the gods, as he was worried that he was just one step away from breaking through.

Of course, he was not afraid of the rain god's descent. If necessary, he would even urge the Myriad Dao Tree to devour the decree, and perhaps even make the Myriad Dao Tree produce some divine power.

Suddenly, the yellow paper glowed and burst into flames, and then a piece of writing appeared, shining through the paper and imprinted in the void, as brilliant as stars.

"This is... a divine decree!"

The nine-headed golden lion trembled, feeling utterly shocked.

In a trance, they heard the chanting of the ancient gods, ancient incantations coming from that ancient world, solemn and sacred, awe-inspiring, and irresistible, making them want to prostrate themselves in worship.

Finally, the four members of the Rain Clan cut their wrists, letting drops of blood fall to prove they were descendants of the Rain God.

The world trembled violently, and a terrifying aura erupted. The nine-headed lion and Shi Hao felt that the rules and order of this world were about to change. The yellow paper shone brightly, as if a god had been born.

"Hey!"

The fragment of the decree exploded, and countless golden raindrops rained down violently, directly striking Qi Shi'an.

Qi Shi'an waved his hands, and ten bolts of lightning shot into the sky and danced wildly. Runes flashed all over the sky, and the lightning shone brightly, turning the place into a lake of lightning, with countless lightning snakes surging.

"Bang! Bang!"

Countless golden raindrops fell nearby, and the thunder serpent in Thunder Lake soared into the sky. The golden raindrops were indestructible, shaking the surrounding area, and crashing into the thunder serpent with a deafening roar.

At the same time, Qi Shi'an's arm was pierced by a golden rain, and blood flowed down. However, his expression was calm and confident as always.

"Haha... That's exhilarating! It excites me. To express my gratitude, I grant you the privilege of being shattered to pieces!" Qi Shi'an laughed wildly.

"You dare to be so arrogant even when you're about to die!" a young man shouted angrily.

"However, by divine decree, I should thank you for sending this highly nourishing substance, which helped me break through to the Tenth Heavenly Realm!"

Qi Shi'an opened his arms and rushed towards the decree. Two runes appeared in his palms. He mobilized the power of the Myriad Dao Tree, intending to devour the decree to nourish it.

He passed through countless golden raindrops, his body riddled with holes, leaving him a bloody mess.

In an instant, Qi Shi'an arrived in front of the decree, touched it with both hands, and the two talismans in his palms formed a divine chain of order, frantically devouring the power of the decree.

"How could an ant like you possibly defy the will of God? You are courting death!" a woman from the Rain Clan shouted, her voice incredibly aged.

Qi Shi'an dragged his bloodied and mangled body and coldly laughed, "Hmph, gods? They're just another soul lost under my fists."

He devoured the divine decree, his whole body glowing, while the divine decree struggled frantically, trying to break free from his palm.

But Qi Shi'an gave it no chance. Seeing that the yellow paper was not cooperating at all, he grabbed it and swallowed it into his body to everyone's astonishment.

Chapter 45 Destroyed in both body and soul

The divine power erupted within him, impacting his internal organs and causing his body to crack. However, he secretly consumed a drop of divine liquid, which slowly healed his injuries.

The Tree of Myriad Paths erupted, and countless chains of divine order flew out, binding the talisman and dragging it onto a leaf, where it was refined into primordial runes.

The four powerful members of the Rain Clan were dumbfounded. Not only had this divine decree failed to subdue this boy, but he had also devoured it!

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Qi Shi'an completely refined the decree, releasing the hidden potential deep within his body. It surged forth like a vast ocean, and the tenth cave heaven was opened up, becoming fully and truly manifest.

The nine grotto-heavens spun behind them, merging with and fusing around the tenth grotto-heaven, bursting forth with brilliant light. Wisps of peaceful and sacred auspicious clouds appeared, unparalleled, like ten suns across the sky.

Finally, with a tremendous tremor, the tenth grotto-heaven pushed out the others, rearranged its order, and appeared above Qi Shi'an's head, occupying the top position and commanding the other grotto-heavens.

This cave, as deep as a black hole, seemed exceptionally powerful, magnificent and vast, with surging vital energy flowing down like a waterfall, its supreme life force surging forth.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an's body was surging with vitality, and the myriad Dao Tree also exuded wisps of misty energy from within him, constantly cleansing and strengthening his essence, energy, and spirit.

The ten grottoes absorbed this misty energy, becoming dazzling and radiant, emitting wisps of divine light that illuminated the heavens and earth.

The wounds on his body healed at a visible speed, his skin glowed, and spiritual energy continuously nourished and strengthened him.

This was a powerful surge, like a hurricane, that swept through the mountains and forests of this swampy land, causing the nearby mountains to tremble.

The birds and beasts became even more terrified, lying prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear.

With all ten grotto-heavens opened up, Qi Shi'an truly reached the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, standing proudly among all heroes.

His eyes were half-open, the whites of his eyes were black, his pupils were blood red, runes flowed around him, and lightning crackled around him. His aura was terrifying and fierce, making the four powerful members of the Rain Clan tremble with fear.

"Impossible! How could the divine decree of our clan be so easily devoured and refined!"

"You're a devil!"

The four powerful members of the Rain Clan roared in anger. They couldn't believe that the Rain Clan's divine decree, their trump card, had been destroyed by a devil.

"This feeling is wonderful. However, I still want to thank you for your divine decree, which helped me successfully pass the test."

"In gratitude for your gifts, I have decided to annihilate you both, body and soul!"

Qi Shi'an slightly raised his eyes, as if looking down his nose at people, a mocking smile on his face, and a strong killing intent permeated the place.

The four powerful members of the Rain Clan had solemn expressions, a chill creeping up their spines, their blood congealing into an icy cold.

A woman from the Rain Clan offered up a piece of animal skin, attempting to escape from there.

Suddenly, Qi Shi'an's figure flashed like lightning, and a rune in his palm shone brightly.

With a palm strike, the Rain Clan woman had no time to dodge. She blocked with both hands, and with a "bang," she was sent flying backward. Her entire arm bone shattered, and a rune remained on her arm, shimmering with a faint glow.

Qi Shi'an activated the rune, and the rune in his palm resonated with the rune on the woman's arm. The power of order hidden within his body erupted, and a divine chain firmly bound the woman.

"Take it!"

Then, Qi Shi'an pulled her sharply, and the Rain Clan woman screamed as her soul was completely extracted from her body, leaving only a shell lying on the ground, her eyes devoid of any light.

He extracted the entire soul, transforming it into a ball of light, which he held in his hand.

He channeled his devouring power, absorbing the soul that had been captured. In no time, the soul was scattered, and the body withered and died the moment the soul vanished.

The remaining three powerful members of the Rain Clan were horrified by what they saw. Their companion had been annihilated in an instant. What kind of strange kid was this?

"Little one, remember to clean up the treasures on the ground."

Qi Shi'an glanced at the other three, his killing intent rising, which terrified the three Rain Clan experts, leaving them with no will to fight.

"escape!"

The three members of the Rain Clan unleashed their magical artifacts, attempting to flee in different directions. They believed that if they could find Shi Yi and inform him of what had happened, Shi Yi would take action, and that would mark the death of the two children.

"escape?"

Qi Shi'an looked at the three men's disheveled appearance with disdain. He spread his ten fingers and unleashed a torrent of blood-black lightning, weaving a huge net that blocked all their paths.

He took out four precious bones to construct a large array. Blue light soared into the sky, and runes intertwined to form dense patterns, turning into a blue barrier that sealed off this space.

"hateful!"

Seeing that the space was sealed off, a young man roared, vowing to fight to the death. The character "封" (seal) appeared on the foreheads of the three men, and their bodies glowed. Their auras surged wildly.

Seeing the three of them break their seals, Qi Shi'an unhesitatingly activated the power of order hidden within them.

The power of order surged wildly within them, triggering the restrictions of Hundred Broken Mountains. Divine punishment descended swiftly, and before the three could even make a move, they were reduced to ashes, their bodies and souls annihilated!

Before they died, they did not know why the divine punishment came so quickly. As soon as the seal was broken, the divine punishment descended and annihilated them all. The three of them disappeared into the world with resentment and confusion.

Shi Hao and the Nine-Headed Lion silently picked up the treasures left on the ground, while Qi Shi'an looked around but couldn't find Yu Zimo.

Yu Zimo had already escaped silently using her magical artifact while the four powerful members of the Yu Clan were holding back the three of them.

"Wow, so many treasures, and a Qiankun bag too! This is a real haul!" Shi Hao said excitedly, holding the treasures.

"The Qiankun Bag is mine, but my storage bag is yours."

Qi Shi'an took off his storage bag and threw it to Shi Hao, then picked up the Qiankun bag.

The Qiankun Bag is one of the most powerful magical artifacts throughout history, containing its own universe and capable of holding all things.

Although this Qiankun bag is a replica and doesn't possess the same power as the real Qiankun bag, its ability to store items far exceeds that of a storage bag, which is sufficient for him at the moment.

Shi Hao didn't mind. With the storage bag, all his pots and pans had a good place to go, and he was overjoyed.

"Hey, this looks like a map, and there are markings on it."

When Shi Hao was examining the Rain Clan's heritage, he discovered an ancient, mottled animal skin with several places marked on it, one of which was highlighted with a water droplet.

"This marked area should be one of the Rain Clan's targets for entering the Hundred Broken Mountains."

"It looks like there are a few drops of water on it."

Qi Shi'an leaned closer to look and had a rough guess in his mind: the place marked on the map should be the hiding place of Taiyi Zhenshui.

"It must be some kind of treasure. Let's go look for it along the map." Shi Hao's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Alright! Let's set off on our treasure hunt."

Qi Shi'an had a faint smile in his eyes and brows.

He also coveted the Taiyi True Water, after all, it was a divine object with extremely high spirituality, almost psychic, and it could evolve runes and laws. It could fly and disappear into the earth, making it difficult to capture. It could only be subdued by gaining its approval or by using special means.

Taiyi True Water contains the laws and order of water. It is a sacred object used by the ancient gods to forge weapons and refine elixirs. When refining weapons and elixirs, adding a drop can improve their quality, and it has immense divine power.

Qi Shi'an's physical body is already extremely strong. If he were to refine the Taiyi True Water and integrate its divine energy into his flesh and blood, forging himself as a divine weapon, he would surely be able to further improve his physical body.

The two embarked on their journey to find the Taiyi True Water once again. They fled into the deep mountains and dense forests, passing through clouds and mist. When they entered some forbidden areas, they quickly detoured to avoid alerting an even more terrifying being.

Two days later, as they crossed a mountain ridge, a grumpy bird of prey in the sky opened its beak and let out a soft cry, spitting a burst of fire toward the two of them.

"brush!"

The nine-headed lion nimbly shifted its body to the side, avoiding the incoming flames.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao looked closely and saw that it was a large, fiery red bird, its body surrounded by crimson clouds, incredibly strange, and very similar to the legendary ancient divine bird, the Vermilion Bird.

The fiery red bird's gaze was fixed on Shi Hao. Suddenly, it paused, realizing who this figure was. It was terrified, its face paling, and it let out a scream before flapping its wings and fleeing.

"Big Red, don't run away!"

Shi Hao recognized the fiery red bird as the Fire Cloud Sparrow from which he had cut off a piece of flesh when he first entered Hundred Broken Mountains.

At this moment, Shi Hao was somewhat excited. A pair of golden wings sprouted from his back, and with all his might, he leaped up and rushed towards the Fire Cloud Sparrow.

In an instant, Shi Hao pounced on the Firebird, hugging its neck tightly, his eyes shining with joy. With this big bird, they no longer needed to venture into those restricted areas.

With this firebird, one can fly through the sky and reach the burial site of the Taiyi True Water.

Firebird let out a miserable howl, its body weak and filled with resentment and despair: "Why is it you again? I just wanted to sneak up and steal some treasures, and I still have to run into you. What kind of karmic entanglement is this?"

"What do you mean by a tragic fate? You're talking nonsense. This is clearly destiny."

Shi Hao laughed heartily, hugged its neck, and felt very happy.

"Land quickly, my good brother is still down there."

Shi Hao revealed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, hugged its neck and began to grind his teeth, as if this firebird was disobedient and he was about to eat it at any moment.

Big Red was startled and immediately made an emergency landing, not daring to resist in the slightest, for fear that the kid would heat up the oil and stew it.

When Qi Shi'an saw the firebird, he remembered the delicious meal they had shared. His eyes lit up, and he licked his lips, making the newly landed Big Red tremble with fear.

"What sins have I committed?"

Da Hong silently mourned in her heart, lamenting how her fate had risen and fallen.
