Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Inside the barrier, there were still traces of scorched earth everywhere. It looked utterly devoid of life, saturated with a despair-inducing aura that stirred fear in the heart.

Even just glancing at it from afar would make one feel a chill all over, as if plunging into the depths of ice.

This sensation seeped into the bone marrow, something even a Cultivator would find extremely hard to withstand.

Qin An took in the scene before him, a grave weight rising in his heart.

The sight before his eyes seemed even more miserable than the Colorless Forbidden Land, almost completely bereft of vitality.

After all, though the Colorless Forbidden Land was also quite tragic, at least there were still living people there, and even when driven to a dead end, they still retained the strength to resist.

But this world was a boundless desolation; raising his eyes to look, he could not see even half a living soul.

Qin An stopped thinking further, then drew the Cold Star at his waist and fiercely struck at the barrier before him, which was like an eggshell.

The instant Qin An unleashed this slash, the terrifying power of the Three Blades Unite erupted in a single moment.

Yet when the long blade cleaved onto that invisible barrier, a deafening boom suddenly rang out.

Qin An actually felt a powerful rebound force surge along the blade of Cold Star into every part of his body.

He staggered back several steps before he managed to steady himself, feeling the blood and qi within him churn like an ocean, as if they might surge out of his body at any moment.

This rebound force had actually injured him the instant they made contact.

That previous slash had been Qin An’s full-strength strike, yet under such full force, the barrier did not change in the slightest, and instead it wounded him.

This alone showed how terrifying this barrier was—utterly beyond what human strength could break.

How could he shatter this barrier and reach the next Forbidden Area?

One conjecture after another surfaced in Qin An’s heart.

After a long while, his gaze gradually turned sharp.

He raised the Cold Star again, but this time he summoned Reincarnation.

He then lifted his hand and took out the Replica Jade, and the phantom condensed from the Replica Jade slowly appeared as well.

Once the two appeared, they stood in place, awaiting Qin An’s command.

Qin An pointed a finger at the barrier ahead and said calmly, "We’ll combine our respective attacks and all strike at a single point. Let’s see if we can blast this barrier apart. If we can’t, we may have to think of another way."

At these words, the phantom condensed by the Replica Jade and Reincarnation did not hesitate, unleashing their strongest attacks in unison.

A terrifying strike gathered in midair, like a monstrous mass of energy that could explode at any moment, enough to unleash a world-destroying force.

Their attacks were already at the level of the Manifest Saint Realm; if this terrifying energy mass fell anywhere, it would be enough to obliterate a city.

Qin An fixed his gaze on the dreadful energy mass before him. He knew that both Reincarnation and the phantom condensed by the Replica Jade were exerting themselves to the utmost, carefully controlling the mass they had created so that not a trace of its aura leaked out.

Qin An did not hesitate. He circulated the Void Essence within him and connected to a portion of the demon repository.

The demon repository ignited in an instant.

He lifted his hand, and a Fist Seal blasted forth.

The terrifying Fist Seal fused as one with the energy mass in the air.

"Begin." Qin An merely uttered the single word lightly and said nothing more.

Everything was ready; only the final spark remained. It all depended on whether this move could blast open that invisible barrier.

After Qin An spoke, Reincarnation and the phantom condensed by the Replica Jade each infused a strand of energy into the mass.

They guided the mass and slammed it viciously toward the barrier ahead.

The power of the three forces erupted at once, their might far more than merely world-destroying.

"Boom!"

Another horrifying roar resounded.

Within this terrifying roar, the invisible barrier before them began to show web-like cracks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin An stared at those cobweb-like fissures, knowing that he was just a step away from shattering this invisible barrier.

He did not hesitate. Together with Reincarnation and the Replica Jade, he launched an even stronger attack.

Yet another terrifying energy mass appeared and crashed heavily onto the invisible barrier.

The invisible barrier began to quake violently, the web of cracks upon it growing denser and denser.

Accompanied by the sound of an eggshell shattering—as if an egg were being struck by a heavy hammer—the invisible barrier before them turned into drifting dust in an instant.

Qin An gave a slight nod, put away the Replica Jade, and then beckoned toward Reincarnation.

Reincarnation answered, then turned into a streak of flowing light and flew toward Qin An.

Qin An casually caught it, then stepped forward.

The moment he stepped inside, the chill he had sensed earlier burrowed even deeper into his bones.

Everything here was like a realm of death, and that chill did not come from the climate or temperature, but from some unseen sensation, pressing down on him with an incomparably terrifying weight.

Qin An pondered briefly, and at last he understood the information about this Forbidden Area.

Back in the Imperial Palace of the Daqian Kingdom, he had learned some information related to the Forbidden Areas. Through that knowledge, he now knew that this utterly dead and silent Forbidden Area before him was called the Vitality Forbidden Land.

The very first moment one heard this name, one’s spirits would naturally rise.

Yet such a name, brimming with vitality, belonged instead to a world of death and cold.

The stark contrast would cause an immense sense of dissonance.

"It seems the Heavenly Demon’s actions this time are truly no small matter."

So thinking, Qin An rose into the air and flew off in one direction.

...

The farther he flew inward, the more violently the howling cold wind raged.
