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

"You false god of the Western religion, I'll give you ten breaths. If you don't come out on your own, don't blame me for slaughtering the entire Mount Ling again!"

A loud and angry voice broke the silence.

The Buddha was affected by the sound, his mind was stirred, and the prayer beads in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"Damn it, how did he know I existed!"

The Buddha's face was now contorted with rage, all traces of his benevolent nature gone. In a flash, he vanished from his spot and reappeared before Mount Ling.

He looked up at the boy in the warship, and a surge of anger rose in his heart for no reason. This mere lower realm sinner had repeatedly provoked the Western Sect, and now he had even attacked their mountain gate twice. This was a great disgrace.

"Young friend, why are you so ruthless? I simply..."

Before the Buddha could finish speaking, Qi Shi'an ruthlessly interrupted him: "I have said, any deity who crosses boundaries shall be killed!"

The next moment, the entire Western Region was shrouded in endless demonic clouds, and a black Nine Nether Hound stood tall in the sky.

The nine tails behind it, resembling the heads of real dragons, danced wildly, each containing the power of the Great Dao of Destruction. With just a roar, they shattered mountains hundreds of miles away.

Netherworld Sonic Wave Technique!

This is the most powerful technique recorded in the Nine Netherworld Hound Treasure Technique. If one's cultivation is exceptionally high, a single roar can shatter the stars in the heavens.

However, at this moment, the Buddha was horrified; he felt as if he were being locked onto by a primordial beast.

"Nine Netherworld Hound!"

The Buddha was astonished. This child not only possessed the True Dragon Treasure Technique, but also the second of the Ten Evil Treasure Techniques. His good fortune was truly profound.

The Buddha knew that this battle was inevitable. Although he was the second strongest among the gods of the interdimensional realm, possessing an indestructible body, and had cultivated his sixteen-foot golden body to a very high level, and mastered several great supernatural powers.

But the boy in front of him, who was only a little over ten years old, was different. He had killed countless gods along the way, and his various supernatural abilities were so impressive that they moved him.

Qi Shi'an said coldly, "A false god who sacrificed millions of lives to descend to the mortal realm should atone with his death!"

"Then there's nothing more to say, kill!"

The Buddha roared, his eyes wide with rage, his entire body golden, radiating secret power, and emitting boundless golden light—a manifestation of the Vajra Indestructible Body reaching a high level of cultivation.

"boom!"

He struck with his palm, his powerful divine body pressing down on the void, making it rumble. His golden body was immortal, possessing supreme divine might, and chaotic energy surged within it.

Qi Shi'an moved his hands, and the Nine Nether Hound roared, unleashing endless demonic energy that condensed into round black suns that pressed down on the Buddha.

The two collided, the void was silently annihilated, the chaotic clouds surged, the black sun shook, and wisps of black flames burst forth, burning the Buddha's golden body.

Qi Shi'an snorted coldly, his figure suddenly blurred, and he transformed into a black streak of light, like a phoenix soaring through the sky. His speed was so fast that even the ripples in space could not catch up with his trajectory. In an instant, he circled behind the Buddha.

"what?!"

The Buddha was shocked and had no time to react before Qi Shi'an was right in front of him. His fist glowed and a real dragon coiled around his arm, its power overwhelming. He unleashed a powerful and fierce dragon fist, which the Buddha could only block with his arms and fight back with his bare body.

With a single punch, the heavens and earth roared, and the dragon's roar echoed through the nine heavens!

"puff!"

The Buddha's golden body was subjected to a fierce attack; a powerful dragon fist struck the golden body, penetrating and shaking its internal organs.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward, and the surrounding void shattered inch by inch, spreading along the Buddha's flying figure.

Blood trickled from the Buddha's lips, revealing his anger. He had cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body, yet he had still lost in a contest of physical strength, and to a mere youth who was barely at the Venerable Realm. This enraged him.

"Suppress and kill!"

The Buddha roared, his body bursting with intense golden light, and various patterns appeared on his body, densely packed and intertwined. Then, one of his hands rapidly enlarged, transforming into a world that would engulf Qi Shi'an.

Stars twinkled and swirled between the fingers of this giant golden hand, as if it had created a world and enveloped this void, a sight that was truly awe-inspiring!

"boom!"

Qi Shi'an was glowing, with seven-colored phoenix wings appearing on his back. Ten thousand divine flames ignited around him, and a phantom of a true phoenix that blotted out the sky took shape. As its wings spread, a heat wave that scorched the heavens and boiled the sea swept across the sky.

The surging divine flames pierced through the world in the Buddha's palm, burning even the runes to ashes.

"True Phoenix Treasure Technique!"

The Buddha gasped. The Ten Fierce Techniques were so powerful that anyone who possessed even one of them was considered invincible. This was the first time he had ever seen three of the Ten Fierce Techniques combined in one person's hands. Where did this monster come from?

Before he could react, Qi Shi'an moved like lightning, his hands transforming into crimson-gold phoenix claws, grabbing at the Buddha with a piercing sound. Five streaks of flame tore through the sky, tearing five dark cracks into the void.

With a "whoosh," the phoenix claw pierced through the Buddha's golden body, and the raging True Phoenix Divine Flame was even more difficult to extinguish, burning his golden body red, causing him to scream in agony.

"Let's go!"

Qi Shi'an's palm erupted with black light. As he raised his hand, various runes appeared, intertwining with demonic light in the heavens and earth, transforming into halberds that struck the Buddha's golden body.

"what……"

With a furious roar of resentment, the Buddha was pierced through the mind by the spear transformed from the black halberd and pinned to the ground.

Qi Shi'an glanced sideways at the newly rebuilt sacred mountain and said coldly, "The Western Sect is immoral, allowing gods to descend to the mortal realm, causing the eight regions to suffer and all spirits to wither. They should be punished!"

With a wave of his hand, black mist filled the entire sacred mountain, obscuring the sky and the sun. A black Nine Nether Hound appeared, with nine divine chains of order traversing the heavens behind it, unleashing an aura of world destruction.

"Rumble..."

Hundreds and thousands of demonic lights fell from the sky, causing everything to wither and space to shatter wherever they passed.

In an instant, Mount Ling was razed to the ground and turned into a demonic land. Buried in the ruins and rubble was a lineage of Daoist traditions.

A full hour passed before Qi Shi'an finally left.

After that day, the Western Religion's entire network in the lower realm was destroyed, and this top-tier religion spanning eight domains was completely buried in the past.

Upon receiving the news, some major religions dared not act rashly and were forced to remain silent.

The name of the Demon Lord once again resounded throughout the eight regions, shaking the world!

Chapter 108 The Standoff Before the Heaven-Mending Sect

"Western religions also have gods descending to the mortal realm?!"

"Even Western religions have gods, so I estimate that the other major powers also have them. I wonder how many gods have descended to the mortal realm this time."

"I heard that the Demon Lord has threatened that everyone should monitor each other. If any deity is found hiding among them, the sect will be massacred. The person who reports the deity will receive nearly 40% of the sect's wealth. Now many sects are in a state of panic."

"I think it's great. These people always take advantage of others, but when it comes to crucial moments, they become cowards. Now, finally, a tough guy has appeared to put their arrogance to rest."

The news of the Western religion's renewed demise spread like wildfire throughout the world, shocking everyone.

All eyes were focused on the remaining three major lineages: the Immortal Mountain, the Heaven-Mending Sect, and the Heaven-Intercepting Sect.

In an instant, countless spies gathered outside the gates of the three major Taoist sects, all eager to know if any deities were hiding within.

There was also a sense of panic within the three major lineages, with everyone feeling insecure. Although they were angry, they were powerless to do anything about it, because once the suspicions were established, no one could explain it clearly.

If we were to take action to suppress it, it would undoubtedly give others cause for gossip, and that little devil would surely come running upon hearing the news.

By then, whether or not they have been hidden will no longer matter.

"Hey, I didn't expect we'd be back on our homeland so soon. It's really something to look forward to!" Elder Tao Ye laughed heartily, his face flushed.

Elder Zhuo Yun's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke, "However, is it really a good idea for us to just swagger off to the Heaven-Mending Sect like this?"

Qi Shi'an didn't care and chuckled, "It's alright, they wouldn't dare to resist. Besides, we're just using the interdimensional array."

At this moment, the members of the Butian Pavilion were traveling across the void on a divine warship, arriving at the heart of the Xuan Domain, where the Butian Sect was located.

Ahead, white mist rose from time to time, and auspicious light shone forth. One mountain peak after another stood tall, appearing very ethereal.

In addition, there are some islands suspended in the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist, with silver waterfalls cascading down from above, accompanied by a sacred atmosphere, like a fairyland.

"Wow, this is the Patching Heaven Sect! It's really impressive!" the Patching Heaven Pavilion members exclaimed.

Qi Shi'an joked, "It's really impressive. After I destroyed it last time, it was rebuilt so beautifully. It's truly a case of being rich and powerful."

"Look! That's the Demon Lord's warship!"

"The Demon Lord's arrival at the Heaven-Mending Sect, doesn't that mean the sect has gods?!"

Their arrival caused a sensation, and some spies sent people back to report.

At this moment, a majestic and deep voice rang out from inside the mountain gate: "Who goes there? Don't you know that this is the territory of my Heaven-Mending Sect?!"

"Demon Lord, I have come here for a chat. Open the doors and welcome me at once!"

Although Qi Shi'an's voice was soft, it was as powerful as thunder, causing the mountains in the heart of the Butian Sect to tremble.

With a "whoosh," several figures emerged from the Patching Heaven Sect. Leading them was a woman whose face was veiled by a light gauze. She was tall and slender, with unparalleled beauty and an otherworldly charm.

"Demon Lord? You little devil, how dare you come to my Heaven-Mending Sect!" Fairy Yuechan said lightly.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Don't people say that the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and the Heaven-Mending Sect are of the same lineage?" Qi Shi'an joked, seemingly trying to get closer to him.

Fairy Yuechan said coldly, "Hmph, we haven't even settled accounts with you for destroying our sect's branch back then, and now you've come to attack our mountain gate again. Do you think our Heaven-Mending Sect has no one to rely on?!"

"Oh dear, quite a few people have come today. Those who should be coming from Immortal Mountain and Intercepting Heaven Sect have all arrived."

Qi Shi'an remained calm and did not answer. Instead, he looked into the distance, where ripples appeared in the space and two god-level warships came into view.

"I didn't expect my little brother to have such a keen sense of perception. I was thinking of hiding and watching to see if Sister Yuechan would make a fool of herself."

The witch's laughter was very clear and melodious, possessing a captivating charm.

The Moon Fairy's gaze was cold and indifferent as she said calmly, "I never thought my Heaven-Mending Sect would have such a lively day."

Qi Shi'an sighed, "It's all because I'm too charming; wherever I go, there are crowds of people."

"No wonder you and Xiao Shi are such good friends, you're both shameless," the witch chuckled.

Fairy Yuechan snorted coldly and said, "Little devil, what business do you have at my Heaven-Mending Sect!"

"It's nothing, I just want to borrow your inter-domain teleportation array to return to the Desolate Region," Qi Shi'an said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and shocked. They seemed to have almost forgotten that the young man in front of them was not from the Xuan Domain.

Ever since the little devil arrived in Xuanyu, he has been in the eye of the storm, making the long-peaceful Xuanyu lively for quite a while.

In recent years, many people from other realms have come to the Xuan Domain, all wanting to see the little demon's true face.

Now that the little devil is going back to the wasteland, doesn't that mean there will be no more fun to watch in the future?

Fairy Yuechan said in a deep voice, "You want to use my sect's magic array to cross realms? Do you think that's possible?!"

"Little brother, if you want to return to the Desolate Region, why bother going through the Heaven-Mending Sect? My Heaven-Slaying Sect also has inter-domain arrays. As long as you join the Heaven-Slaying Sect, you can use them as you please," the witch said with a smile.

"Witch! Do you know that the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has been a branch of my Heaven-Mending Sect since ancient times? Your interference now is a declaration of war against my Heaven-Mending Sect!"

Fairy Yuechan looked serious; she was also conflicted. The little devil and Shi Hao were close friends, and both of them had a grudge against the Patching Heaven Sect.

If these two were just average in talent, it wouldn't be so bad, but not only are they exceptionally talented, their respective factions also have some connection with the Patching Heaven Sect.

If they were to be taken under the wing of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, it would be the most devastating blow to the Patching Heaven Sect in its history.

However, these two people never took the Patching Heaven Sect seriously, and even if they were invited, they would probably not return to the orthodox lineage.

The witch, though beautiful and charming, wore an amused expression and teased:

"Oh my, sister, your beautiful skin has gotten thicker again. When did the Heaven-Mending Pavilion become your branch? You never admitted it, so why are you now rushing to pay me off?"

Qi Shi'an stood in front of the warship with a mocking look in his eyes, clearly also looking to join in the fun.

The disciples of the Butian Pavilion were completely bewildered, unable to understand what these powerful figures were saying. Only the elders of the Butian Pavilion, who knew the inside story, showed a hint of embarrassment.

"There were indeed some unpleasant things that happened back then, but ultimately we are all of the same lineage. The founder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was a disciple of my Heaven-Mending Sect. Doesn't the establishment of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion prove his desire to return to the orthodox lineage?"

After struggling with the decision for a long time, Fairy Yuechan still couldn't bear to send the disciples of the Patching Heaven Sect branch into the hands of the enemy.

The Patching Heaven Sect has already lost Shi Yi, and that little Shi doesn't acknowledge that the Patching Heaven Pavilion is a branch. Now, this little devil can't be let go so easily.

The witch chuckled and teased, "Sister, you make it sound so easy. When the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was destroyed, all the elders and disciples fled, and you didn't lift a finger then, did you?"

An elder from the Patching Heaven Sect hurriedly explained, "We know this too late, but in the end, there will be reckoning. As long as you can lead the Patching Heaven Pavilion back, we will immediately help you rebuild it."

"Moreover, the connection between heaven and earth will soon be severed, and the two realms will be cut off from each other. If you return, we promise to send all of you to the upper realm for cultivation."

These words immediately shocked everyone in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. In the lower realm, one can only cultivate to the level of a Supreme Being and cannot become a god. If one can enter the upper realm, one will surely be able to reproduce the divine might of one's ancestors.

"I won't trouble you with the cleanup and such. Besides, why bother with the affairs of the upper realm? When I reach the pinnacle one day, I will naturally open up the passage between the upper and lower realms."

Qi Shi'an spoke confidently, saying that even if the lower realm was completely cut off from heaven and earth, it was still better than the current upper realm. The chaos in the lower realm was merely a calamity for the gods, while the upper realm was truly cruel.

He and Shi Hao have made too many enemies in the Upper Realm. If the people of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion go to the Upper Realm together, they will inevitably be affected. At this time, the Upper Realm is not suitable.

Fairy Yuechan felt a chill run down her spine. Had she been rejected? Being rejected by two prodigies in a row was quite embarrassing for her.

Seeing Yuechan's discomfiture, the witch was overjoyed and laughed, "Little brother, the Great Dao of the Heaven-Mending Sect is not suitable for you. Only my Heaven-Intercepting Sect is the path to enlightenment."
