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

"That great emperor possessed this curse technique that could possess the body of an emperor. It is said that this technique is extremely powerful!"

Once attacked by this kind of curse, the cultivator will be forcibly possessed and become a manipulated puppet, completely controlled by the possessor. Such puppets have no independent thought.

With only the desire for killing and destruction remaining, there are few things in the world that they dare not slaughter or devour, and moreover, the curse array set up by the possessing emperor is extremely powerful.

Even if you can withstand the direct attack of the curse spell, you will be exhausted by the numerous evil spirits formed from the power of the curse and die!

The Demon Lord hurriedly explained to Shi Ji the terrifying aspects of possessing the Great Emperor's body.

At this moment, the magical power within Shi Ji's body was rapidly dissipating, and his body was extremely weak.

His face was ashen white.

She was also dispirited and had no energy left to deal with the swarming evil spirits.

Hordes of evil spirits roared and pounced on the rocky shore.

"Boy, today you are destined to die a miserable death under our claws!"

The leading evil spirit let out a chilling roar.

The evil spirits opened their mouths and spewed out clusters of eerie light, which contained deadly poison. When they attacked Shiji, she felt as if the evil light was a terrifying, suffocating current.

This time, Shi Ji truly felt a deadly threat.

Shi Ji understood that she had to seek change.

If the current situation cannot be changed, I'm afraid I'll really perish here.

He took out a metallic spirit fruit and swallowed it.

In an instant, Shi Ji's magical power was mostly restored. He took out all the storage rings, magical treasures, and storage spaces on his body, piling up all kinds of magical treasures like mountains.

next moment.

Countless magical treasures shot out.

Immediately afterwards, the countless magical artifacts combined with each other, instantly transforming into a suit of armor.

The armor swirled and covered Shi Ji's entire body.

Shi Ji donned her armor and continued to absorb the surrounding magical energy.

One magical artifact after another shattered.

But soon a new magical artifact was created.

Shi Ji, clad in armor, continuously absorbed the surrounding magical energy.

Those magical artifacts were shattered layer by layer by the rocky rocks.

In the end, Shi Ji destroyed more than 30,000 magical artifacts.

A total of 83,462 magical treasures were absorbed by Shi Ji.

However, it was to no avail.

Shi Ji's magical power was still suppressed within her dantian and could not be mobilized at all.

"Damn it! How could it be a curse?"

Shi Ji roared angrily.

Curse techniques are a secret art upon which many top powers rely for their survival, and almost every top power has mastered this art. However, this curse technique is listed among the most terrifying secret arts in the Immortal Ancient Domain.

This unique skill has been lost for many years.

Now it seems the rumors are true.

The power of the Immortal Ancient Domain.

There is actually an Emperor-level being who has mastered the art of curses. Such a terrifying being is enough to overturn the entire starry sky.

Shi Ji felt himself getting closer and closer to death. He knew that if he did not seek change, he would surely die from the attack of the curse.

How can we turn the situation around now?
Shi Ji carefully examined everything around her.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes.

When his magical power was nearly exhausted, he began to absorb the death energy around him.

The death energy is extremely strange; it can destroy the physical body and erode the cultivator's soul.

But Shi Ji was protected by a stone coffin, so the deathly aura could not harm him.

Moreover, Shi Ji's body is currently brimming with vitality.

When death energy invades the body, it will be driven away by life force.

It was then completely extinguished by the life force within Shi Ji's body.

Shi Ji dared not act rashly, because if she did, her body might be completely destroyed by the death energy.

This deathly aura is different from ordinary deathly aura.

Ordinary death energy.

Perhaps it can be resolved with the help of life.

This kind of deathly aura cannot be dispelled.

This is a rather peculiar kind of death energy, and it is generated by the power of a cultivator's bloodline.

Therefore, to completely eliminate the harm caused by the death aura, it is necessary to find the remains of the King of Curses.

"I must break through to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible, or I will die here sooner or later!"

Shi Ji gritted her teeth, determined to use the death energy to temper her body and improve her cultivation.

His cultivation was already stuck at the Great Perfection of Quasi-Immortal. If this continues, he will probably fall to the Emperor Realm soon.

The life force of Shiji is also about to dry up.

He was on the verge of exhaustion, his magical power sealed, and he could no longer mobilize even a fraction of his power to protect himself.

This is an extremely dangerous situation.

But Shiji knew that if she didn't do this, she would die even faster.

Shi Ji activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique.

It began to frantically absorb the death energy from the outside world.

The death energy continuously flowed into Shi Ji's body, and was then refined by the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique, transforming into life force within her.

As the rate at which death energy enters the body increases.

Shi Ji noticed that the life force in her dantian was beginning to increase.

This greatly boosted Shi Ji's spirits.

"I had forgotten that the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique could refine this death energy! As long as there is life in my dantian, the death energy cannot harm me!"

He hurriedly activated his cultivation technique to accelerate the absorption of the death energy surging into his body.

Shiji needs to accelerate its recovery.

It still needs to refine the death energy.

During this process.

Shi Ji felt a slight pain in his mind; he understood that the deathly aura contained the mark of death.

This is a death mark formed by a curse, and removing it is by no means easy.

"Is this kind of death mark a special kind of seal? If I can break the death mark, wouldn't I be able to get rid of this cursed technique?"

Shi Ji's mind started to wander.

He began to try to break the mark of death.

However, it is extremely difficult because the mark of death is too powerful to be broken.

Even if Shiji is at its peak.

He had not yet been able to break the mark of death, let alone now that he was already exhausted and on his last legs.
The signs of death were becoming increasingly clear; Shi Ji's skull was even slightly cracked, indicating that the situation was clearly dire.

Shi Ji immediately stopped refining the death energy.

Now is far from the right time to refine the death energy. It's better to wait until I've recovered a bit before refining it.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye.

Five days have passed.

That day.

Shi Ji opened his eyes and stood up. Although his body was weak, he was not without fighting power.

Shi Ji's gaze fell on the black-robed figure on the altar.

The black-robed figure was surrounded by a black dragon, which constantly twisted and changed shape.

The black dragon emitted an extremely terrifying aura.

When the black dragon sensed that Shi Ji had awakened, it let out a low, hoarse roar.

"You lowly servant, your lifespan is coming to an end. I will devour you immediately and drain your life force. Then you will die of old age! Do not struggle!"

Resistance is futile; I will slowly devour your soul! That sensation must be exquisite, won't it?

The man in black robes chuckled sinisterly as he walked towards Shi Ji, his face filled with an evil expression.

The man in black robes reached out to grab Shi Ji's neck, but at that moment, an incomparably powerful force surged from within Shi Ji's body.

The shockwave struck the black-robed man's claws directly, and with a crack, the claws shattered.

The man in black robes screamed in agony.

The beast attempted to escape, but Shi Ji was too fast. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the man in black robes and then threw a powerful punch.

The sound of tearing apart echoed through the sky.

The man in black robes had his chest pierced by Shi Ji's punch.

"Ah, you little thief, I will devour your life force!"

The man in black robes roared with venomous hatred.

He opened his mouth and spat out a battle platform.

The array platform floated in mid-air, emanating a powerful and destructive aura.

The man in black robes wanted to use this platform to suppress and kill Shi Ji.

However, he underestimated Shi Ji's strength.

Shi Ji leaped into the air. Her right arm swung out suddenly.

Accompanied by a resounding clang, his right arm swept across the array platform spat out by the black-robed man.

The array platform that the black-robed man spat out exploded with a deafening roar.

"How could this be?"

The man in black robes was horrified, unable to believe what he was seeing. The array platform he had spat out was directly blasted away by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji flashed to the side of the man in black robes and grabbed his throat.

"Please, spare my life!"

The man in black robes begged for mercy in a pitiful voice.

His tone was full of sincerity.

Shi Ji said, "Since you know to beg for mercy, why did you still dare to use your curses on me? You curse masters truly deserve to die!"

Shi Ji crushed the man in black robes to death.

He then took out several storage rings from the black-robed man's corpse.

It contains a large number of rare resources, all of which are priceless treasures.

Shi Ji opened three storage rings.

Each ring contained a considerable number of items, with various cultivation materials piled up like mountains.

"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!"

Shi Ji shouted excitedly, "If these cultivation resources were auctioned off, it would definitely cause a sensation!"

These are cultivation resources.

It is sufficient to cultivate a large number of strong individuals.

Shi Ji collected all the resources and then found trillions of immortal stones and thousands of top-grade immortal crystals.

In the end, Shi Ji left this place.

Shiji has benefited greatly from this trip.

Moreover, he saw hope.

With diligent and persistent practice, one may have a chance to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm.

After Shi Ji left.

He sensed a dangerous aura.

Looking up, one could see a huge black ship floating in the sky.

It was the towering ship piloted by that terrifying being.

"This fiend was indeed tracking me. Fortunately, I didn't rashly enter the secret chamber for seclusion, or I would have been in grave danger!"

Shi Ji took a deep breath and, without daring to delay, immediately flew rapidly towards the Northern Wilderness.

He planned to return to the Northern Wilderness first.

Then we'll look for an opportunity to break through.

The black warship was in hot pursuit.

Shiji darted quickly ahead.

His speed was unbelievable.

"Hmph, trying to shake me off? That's wishful thinking!"

The man in black robes sneered and urged the black ship to chase after Shiji.

Shi Ji was relatively slow, but he seemed unconcerned and confident.

Because Shi Ji possesses the power to reverse time.

Therefore, he was not worried at all about being caught up by the man in black robes.

Not long after.

Shiji is getting closer and closer to the northern wilderness.

But at that moment...

A sudden change occurred.

In the dark starry sky, a huge vortex appeared, spinning rapidly.

Below the vortex was a deep, dark void.

An eerie and unpredictable aura emanated from within the vortex.

That was the breath of the universe, that was the fluctuation of spacetime.

"A cosmic storm?" Shi Ji frowned.

Cosmic storms are celestial phenomena that occur countless ages ago.

Its power is boundless; even an Emperor-level expert would find it difficult to withstand the onslaught of the cosmic storm.

Shi Ji enveloped the entire ancient star with her divine sense.

Once he locked onto the ancient star, he immediately realized that it was also a powerful treasure of creation.

Shi Ji was greatly surprised.

How could such a treasure have been left here?

He quickly approached the ancient star and carefully explored it with his divine sense, discovering some secrets inside.

Within the ancient star, many people were sealed away; those people seemed to be cultivators who had perished in a cosmic storm years ago.

This ancient star was actually a prison.

The mysterious powerful figure used a restriction to seal the cultivator trapped inside the ancient star.

This allowed these cultivators to eke out a living within the ancient star, hoping for a miracle to happen someday.

The miracle they await might be that someone in their race will successfully survive the cataclysmic event of the era.

"How hateful!"

Shi Ji roared in anger. He loathed the mysterious expert. This person was too vicious, using such methods to torture the creatures trapped on the ancient star.

Those beings sealed within the ancient star have long since perished in spirit, but their bodies still retain their blood, their souls permanently suppressed within the ancient star.

Who would willingly endure such suffering?
However, they were powerless to change anything.

All we can do is pray for a miracle.

But the world is often full of unknowns.

Such miracles are also difficult to achieve.

"Boy, don't blame me for being ruthless. Who told you to anger me? Today you won't leave alive. I will grind you to dust and make you suffer eternal torment!"

A cold voice came from the black mist.

Upon hearing this, a chilling killing intent flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

"You think killing me is that easy?"

Shi Ji responded with a cold laugh.

"Stubborn to the end, you're courting death!"

That cold voice rang out again.

A deafening roar shook the heavens, and even more immense magical power surged from the black ship.

The black-clad cultivators inside the ship were frantically destroying the void passage formed by the black vortex.

Shi Ji's expression darkened slightly.

Although the void passage was exceptionally sturdy, it would obviously be extremely difficult to stop the black ship.

The black warship was too fast to be intercepted.

"Hehe, your time to die has come!"

The man in black robes grinned maliciously.

He steered his black warship at breakneck speed toward Shiji.

The warships were about to reach Shiji.

A ball of light flew in from afar, enveloped Shiji, then quickly shrank and entered the space between Shiji's eyebrows.

Shi Ji then appeared on another star.

A look of joy appeared on his face. His guess was right. The jade pendant could indeed help him escape. There must be some kind of heaven-defying treasure hidden on this planet. Otherwise, how could he get rid of the black ship?

"That jade pendant!"

The man in black robes saw the jade pendant that Shi Ji had offered.

He immediately revealed an extremely greedy look, as if the jade pendant had a fatal attraction for him.

"That's mine!"

The man in black robes roared through gritted teeth.

He wanted to seize the jade pendant.

But the jade pendant was truly extraordinary, emitting powerful waves before shooting off into the distance.

The jade pendant seemed to possess a life of its own, and it actually ran away on its own.

The man in black robes tried to chase after the jade pendant, but he failed. Not only could he not catch up, but he also suffered a backlash, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Kid! We're even! Remember to be a dog in your next life!"

The man in black robes laughed loudly, then quickly departed.
The black ship also flew away into the distance.

Shi Ji stood on the ancient road under the starry sky, her expression shifting between light and shadow.

What exactly did the man in black robes mean by those words?
Why should I act like a dog?
Does the man in black robes know his origins?

But I have never seen him before.

Shi Ji shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter; his immediate priority was finding a place to heal his wounds. He quickly left and arrived at an ancient city called Nine Nether Demon City.

The city is home to about 30 million cultivators. Shi Ji entered an inn, which was doing very well and had an enormous number of orders every day.

Shi Ji chose a private room to rest, and then a waiter brought wine and dishes into the room. (End of this chapter)
