Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Shi Ji threw a punch at the ball of Netherworld Flame.

Although the dark flames were dispersed, Shi Ji's fist was also damaged, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Instead of engaging Youyan head-on, he retreated swiftly and then slashed at the woman in green with his sword, intending to force her to confess.

The sword energy swept across the void, neutralizing Shi Ji's attack. Then, the woman in green used several of her signature techniques to defend against Shi Ji's offensive.

"Heavenly Dragon Claw".

Shi Ji's attacks grew increasingly ferocious. After barely managing to parry several blows, the woman in green was finally blasted away.

"Let's see where you can run to now," Shi Ji laughed.

He leaped into the air, soaring into the sky, and punched the woman in green.

The woman in green hurriedly summoned a precious pearl. The pearl floated in the air.

As Shi Ji's fist struck, the pearl emitted a beam of light that enveloped the woman in green.

The cracking sounds of shattering rang out one after another.

Shi Ji's fist pierced through the protective barrier and slammed heavily into the woman in green's chest.

In an instant, her chest was pierced by a punch.

She screamed in agony, her face turning deathly pale.

"You shouldn't be hostile towards me. Ignorance is bliss!"

"Don't kill me! I can help you find the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus!" the woman in green cried out in terror, truly feeling her life rapidly slipping away.

If they hesitated even a moment longer, they might be completely annihilated.

"You actually know about the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus?" Shi Ji looked at the woman in green with surprise.

The Nine-Turn Ice Lotus is a rare treasure of the celestial medicine level, and Shi Ji really needs something like this right now.

The Nine-Turn Ice Lotus has an excellent effect on enhancing one's combat power.

Finding this lotus would undoubtedly be a huge gain for Shiji.

The woman in green said, "I heard an elder of my clan mention this matter many years ago!"

"Oh? You mean you've seen the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus with your own eyes?"

Shi Ji couldn't help but show a look of delight.

The woman in green nodded and said, "I have indeed seen that Nine-Turn Ice Lotus, but it has been gone for many years. I suspect that it may have been taken away by someone."

I once heard a member of the royal bloodline in the clan mention that he needed the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus to break a certain special restriction.

However, he didn't elaborate on the specifics of the restriction, only revealing some vague information.

Upon hearing the woman in green's words, Shi Ji fell silent, realizing that the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus must have fallen into someone else's hands.

If the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus had not been taken, the woman in green would have had no reason to hide it.

But since the Ice Lotus has been lost, Shi Ji has no choice but to give up.

Shi Ji said, "I will spare your life, but you should leave quickly!"

"Thank you for sparing my life, young master!"

She flew away into the distance and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Boy, you've still been defeated by me in the end. So what if you obtained the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus? In the end, I still took it from you!"

Just then, the being that had been suppressed within the Black Prison emerged from it.

This guy was none other than a Quasi-Emperor level expert from the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan who chased and killed people across the Nine Provinces back then.

"So it's you, a powerful member of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan. How did you escape?" Shi Ji looked at this terrifying being with a gloomy expression.

"I can get out whenever I want, and besides, I've almost fully recovered. These years of imprisonment here have been unbearable for me, and we must settle this score properly!"

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor spoke coldly.

"Your injuries are healing quite quickly!"

"Your magical power has also been restored, and the outcome of this battle is still uncertain. However, your physical body is indeed formidable. If I can refine you into my body, my cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds!"

The eyes of this quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan flashed with cold light.

He set his sights on Shi Ji's body, clearly intending to devour her.

Shi Ji scoffed, "Trying to devour me? That's wishful thinking!"

"Hmph, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Wait until I devour your soul, then let's see if you can still be so stubborn!"

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor stepped forward with an indifferent tone.

They then pounced on Shiji.

He raised his giant claw and slammed it down on Shiji, unleashing terrifying power that shook the heavens and destroyed the universe.

Shi Ji remained calm, and with a wave of her right hand, dense runes condensed in the void.

Those runes were all lightning runes.

The heavenly lightning runes that Shi Ji condensed were incredibly powerful, striking fiercely at the giant claw of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor.

With a violent collision, the terrifying giant claw of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor was shattered by Shi Ji's Heavenly Thunder Rune.

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan frowned slightly, as he discovered that the power of Shi Ji's runes was truly terrifying.

It's simply defying the heavens.

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor continued to attack Shi Ji, and the two sides clashed fiercely.

Shi Ji conjured a world of thunder and unleashed it to envelop the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan. Shi Ji then unleashed the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Various great paths surged towards the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan like a tidal wave.

At the same time, Shi Ji activated the Reincarnation Descendant Technique. As she activated this technique, her body was immediately surrounded by a dense array of reincarnation power.

Each cycle of reincarnation seemed to contain the power to destroy the world. The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan wanted to break free from Shi Ji's control, but Shi Ji's control was exceptionally strong.

Shi Ji continued to launch fierce attacks on the quasi-emperors of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan gritted his teeth and cursed, "This little beast's combat power has become so formidable! No wonder he's so arrogant; he truly has the capital to be arrogant. I hate him! I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor roared in fury, refusing to believe that Shi Ji could continue to contend with him.

Therefore, the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan fought back desperately, attempting to break free from Shi Ji's restraints.

Shi Ji, meanwhile, was completely focused on fighting the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

Although the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor was strong, he was still no match for Shi Ji, and he was increasingly unable to withstand Shi Ji's offensive.

Shi Ji repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor, but this Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor was extremely tenacious.

Even though he was severely injured.

They still refused to give in.

"Unwilling to submit? You will have no more chances!"

Shi Ji sneered and then began chanting a spell.

Shi Ji began to sketch the array patterns.

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor's expression changed drastically after seeing Shi Ji draw array patterns.

He understood that Shi Ji was setting up a formation.

This kind of formation is extremely terrifying.

He speculated that Shi Ji's move was an attempt to buy time.

Thinking of this, the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan pounced on Shi Ji even more frantically, wanting to eliminate her as soon as possible.

Then leave this place.

Otherwise, once the Shiji Formation is completed, he will likely also face his doom.

Whether he likes it or not, this battle is unavoidable.

Therefore, at this moment, this quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan only wanted to kill Shi Ji first.

The rocky shore moves extremely fast.

In an instant, they distanced themselves from the quasi-emperors of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

"Boy, I advise you to obediently admit defeat, and perhaps I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will definitely tear you apart, refine your body, and make you suffer the agony of ten thousand insects gnawing at your heart!"

"I am a quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan," a vicious curse rang out. Shi Ji calmly replied, "I am not afraid of threats, unless you have the strength to crush me! Otherwise, you are courting disaster!"

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan sneered, "You really don't know what's good for you. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, perhaps I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will make you suffer endless torment until you die!"

"This idiot actually wants to torture me? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Shi Ji burst into laughter and immediately used the Heaven-Mending Technique to absorb the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan into the stone sword.

The stone sword hovered in mid-air, with countless runes surging out.

The runes on the stone sword seem to possess some kind of intelligence.

Shi Ji's spirit and energy merged with the stone sword, and he manipulated the stone sword to blast towards the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor's expression changed drastically.

He felt that Shi Ji's use of the stone sword against him was too intimidating.

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor hurriedly tried to defend against Shi Ji's attack, but he quickly succumbed to despair.

The strange runes surging from the stone sword directly tore through the protective armor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor.

The runes wrapped around the body of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

"Damn brat, how could you possess such terrifying runes?" The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan roared in fury.

"That's right, this is the power of reincarnation, one of the three thousand great paths I created myself. Now I will suppress you!"

Shi Ji let out a cold shout and then fully activated the power of reincarnation.

The dense array of reincarnation runes directly imprisoned the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

"I'm not reconciled! I shouldn't have trusted the words of the Evil Emperor Ancestor, and I shouldn't have rashly come here to kill you. I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!"

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan wailed.

Shi Ji then struck the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor with a palm strike, capturing him before unleashing her Soul Searching Secret Technique.

Shi Ji extracted a great deal of information about His Highness the Evil Emperor from the depths of his memory.

Shi Ji learned that His Highness the Evil Emperor's cultivation had indeed recovered to the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm.

Furthermore, His Highness the Evil Emperor obtained the Evil Emperor's inheritance.

This greatly shocked Shi Ji, who had almost perished but ultimately survived.

His cultivation level actually recovered to the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm.

Shi Ji was quite surprised.

It seems that the Evil Emperor truly lived up to his reputation as one of the top twenty strongest figures in ancient times.

There were indeed some strange things that happened back then.

But these are not Shi Ji's main concerns.

Shi Ji's main concern was that the Evil Emperor's lifespan was about to run out.

This is the key point that Shiji values.

"As long as I refine the Evil Emperor, my lifespan will increase significantly, and my combat power will double or even more!"

Shi Ji pondered excitedly, deciding to first refine the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

The only way is to devour this official.

Only Shi Ji can refine the Evil Emperor.

This is the only way.

The Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan Quasi-Emperor was badly beaten by Shi Ji.

They were on the verge of collapse.

He roared in anguish, "Boy, how about we make a deal? If you don't kill me, I'll help you refine the Evil Emperor after I break through to the Emperor level, and help you step into the Emperor realm, how about that?"

"At that time, you will be an Emperor-level powerhouse, reigning supreme in this star field. Everyone who sees you will have to bow respectfully!"

"Do you think you can intimidate me with such threats and inducements?"

Shi Ji sneered twice and continued to urge the stone sword to deal with the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly Clan.

"No, I am sincerely inviting you to join my camp. The empire I rule is an extremely powerful force. In the future, I can bestow upon you many benefits, such as immortal crystals, immortal medicines, imperial weapons, immortal pills, and so on!"

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan continued to tempt Shi Ji.

Shi Ji looked at the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan with a mocking expression and said, "How could you be so foolish? Did you think that saying these words would dispel my suspicions?"

As soon as Shi Ji finished speaking, he directly annihilated the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan. Then, he activated his Epochal Overlord Aura, condensed the Epochal Overlord Fist, and blasted it towards the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan inside the stone sword.

The quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan was blasted into dust, and his soul imprint was eventually collected by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sealed this soul imprint into a jade tube.

Then he threw the jade tube at the female cultivator from the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan.

The female cultivator was caught in the blast of Shi Ji's attack and died on the spot.

Shi Ji threw the corpse of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan into the void inside the stone sword.

The runes emanating from the stone sword enveloped the physical body of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan.

Those runes.

They began to slowly refine the corpse of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan.

Suddenly, the corpse of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan trembled slightly, and his soul was awakening.

"This person's soul has not dissipated?"

Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed.

Although the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan had lost his mind, he was still a powerful figure at the peak of the eighth level of the Emperor Realm, and his vitality was extremely tenacious.

The quasi-emperors of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan possess exceptionally strong vitality, which is why Shi Ji worries that if their souls remain, it would be far too dangerous.

Therefore, Shi Ji did not hesitate to use the power of reincarnation to bombard the soul of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan.

Under the frenzied crushing power of reincarnation, even the quasi-emperor's soul of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan could not escape, and ultimately dissipated completely.

Shi Ji gasped for breath. He had been quite exhausted from using the power of reincarnation to attack the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan. Fortunately, he had the Reincarnation Pearl protecting him. Without it, Shi Ji probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Shi Ji handed over the quasi-emperor's corpse of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan inside the stone sword to the sword's spirit to devour.

Shi Ji then began to seclude herself to refine the bloodline and physical body of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but Shi Jian still hadn't sent any information back to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji frowned. Logically speaking, this situation should have changed.

Could it be that the bloodline of the quasi-emperor of the Dark Ancient Demon Butterfly clan is insufficient for the artifact spirit to devour it?
Shi Ji tried to awaken the spirit again, but there was still no response.

"Does this mean we need to search for the bloodlines of other emperors?"

Shi Ji's face showed a thoughtful expression. The bloodline of the Emperor is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

Finding the bloodline of other emperors is extremely difficult.

Even if we find a powerful expert at the Emperor level, would they be willing to provide their bloodline?
Obviously, they wouldn't agree.

This is perfectly normal.

Therefore, Shi Ji felt that finding a fresh imperial bloodline seemed hopeless.

If we can find a divine beast at the Emperor level.

Perhaps it can still serve as a barely acceptable substitute.

Of course, Shi Ji understood.

Divine beasts at the Emperor level are extremely rare.

Shi Ji didn't dare to complain, after all, even the emperors of all races had to look up to a divine beast of the emperor level.

Moreover, the number of divine beasts at the Emperor level is extremely small, so the idea of ​​finding one by chance is simply a pipe dream.

Shi Ji still wanted to give it a try. If she could find a divine beast at the level of an emperor, her gains would be enormous.

At that time, he will be able to use the bloodline of a divine beast at the Emperor level to attack the Emperor realm.

Shi Ji's accumulation had already reached a critical point and could break through at any time.

All he needed was a natural promotion. (End of Chapter)
