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

His primordial spirit withdrew from the runes, but it was still throbbing.

"Was that just an illusion?" Shi Ji murmured to herself.

I am still extremely uneasy.

Shi Ji quickly swallowed a medicinal herb to recover from her injuries.

It took Shi Ji a full two weeks to fully recover from her injuries.

He continued studying the ancient symbols, but made no progress. These ancient symbols contained mysterious and unfathomable power.

Shi Ji attempted to communicate with those symbols using her own power.

But he failed.

Those ancient symbols seem to possess a spiritual quality.

When Shi Ji's divine sense approaches, the symbol will repel his divine sense.

This puzzled Shi Ji.

What secrets do these ancient symbols hold?
Why can't even Shi Ji's primordial spirit power be detected?
"Huh, what did I find?"

Shi Ji looked surprised. He had only intended to take the Destiny Stone Bead by chance, but he found a palm-sized stone next to the cliff.

The stone emitted a faint luster.

"Could this stone be the Stone of Destiny?"

Shi Ji muttered to herself.

He then flew toward the palm-sized rock.

Soon Shiji arrived at the cliff edge and reached out to take the stone.

The stone trembled violently and then transformed into a woman dressed in black.

"Who are you?" Shi Ji asked.

"I am a being born from the Destiny Stone Pearl, a supreme treasure born within the Destiny Stone Tablet. Whoever obtains the Destiny Stone Pearl will gain the recognition of the Destiny Stone Tablet!"

Once you gain the stone tablet's approval, you will be able to control the Stone Tablet of Destiny!

"Where is the owner of the Destiny Stone Tablet?" Shi Ji asked.

The woman in black said, "The owner of the stone tablet passed away at the beginning of the era!"

"Oh? The owner of the stone tablet was an ancestor of the evil spirit race, right?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

“It was indeed an ancestor of the evil spirit race, but that ancestor has been gone for countless years,” the woman in black said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

The owner of the Destiny Stone has been gone for countless years.

The fact that such a place still has relics suggests that the owner of the stone tablet is still alive.

"Just what level of cultivation did the owner of that stone tablet possess?"

At this moment, he was filled with doubt about the owner of the Destiny Stone.

Just how powerful is that being?

"His exact cultivation level is unknown, but it is said that the owner of that stone tablet was one of the top experts in the myriad star regions, and once killed an Emperor-level expert!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ji couldn't help but gasp.

The owner of this stone tablet was truly incredibly powerful.

If that's the case, wouldn't my combat power increase several times if I obtained this treasure?
"Then, shouldn't this treasure now belong to me?" Shi Ji asked the woman in black with a smile.

"Theoretically, it belongs to you, but this cave is fraught with danger. Unless you have the ability to overcome these restrictions!"

The woman seemed unafraid of Shiji leaving; she stood still, gazing at Shiji.

Shi Ji looked around.

The cave walls are carved with dense array patterns.

Those array patterns were unlike any array patterns that Shi Ji had ever seen.

Shi Ji carefully examined each rune.

The runes contain profound mysteries, and Shi Ji believes that if she can comprehend their wonders, it will be of great benefit to her.

However, Shi Ji could not discern anything special about these runes.

"I want to try and see if I can get out of here!"

A rune emerged from between his brows, and Shi Ji unleashed the celestial-level divine power "Eye of Destiny," her gaze sweeping across the surrounding area. As the Eye of Destiny surveyed the four directions, scenes instantly appeared.

In a desolate desert, in the boundless void, an ancient ship is slowly sailing.
It was an enormous ancient ship.

The ancient ship was surrounded by divine light.

It exudes an air of vicissitude.

Bearing the marks of time.

It felt as if it spanned an infinitely long period of time.

"What is that ancient ship?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

"That is an ancient ship of eternity, with a long history. Legend has it that this ship was the mount of a transcendent being."

Shi Ji nodded. No wonder the ancient ship emitted such terrifying fluctuations; it was indeed the mount of a transcendent being.

Even a damaged mount is extremely terrifying.

Shi Ji withdrew her Eyes of Destiny and began to break through the numerous barriers that had been placed here.

Despite the extremely terrifying restrictions placed upon this place.

However, Shi Ji was extremely skilled and broke many seals.

They then successfully located the Pillar of Destiny.

When Shi Ji saw the Pillar of Destiny, she was greatly surprised.

Because the shape of this destiny pillar is exactly the same as the destiny pillar that Shiji had seen before.

Hidden within this mountain peak is a pillar of destiny.

It's simply unbelievable.

"Could it be that the ancestor of the evil spirit race is buried in that mountain range? And that ancestor of the evil spirit race was also the owner of the Stone of Destiny?"

Shi Ji's gaze froze slightly.

He felt this guess was highly likely, but dared not confirm his own deduction.

Shi Ji quickly arrived in front of the Pillar of Destiny, summoned the Prison Suppression Stele, and then suppressed the Pillar of Destiny onto the Prison Suppression Stele.

After the pillar of destiny was suppressed, it immediately released a dazzling light.

The light shone on Shiji.

Shi Ji felt her lifespan rapidly slipping away.

He quickly swallowed the healing pills.

At the same time, refine elixirs to restore lost lifespan.

Shi Ji was horrified to discover that the terrifying force of aging was completely unstoppable.

Even if his physical body is strong, it will be of no use.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"The Pillar of Destiny can only be activated by a Pillar of Destiny. Although you have obtained this item, you cannot activate the pillar unless you find a Pillar of Destiny of the same level."

"You seem to know quite a lot!" Shi Ji said, looking at the woman in black.

The woman in black said, "Of course I know a lot, after all, I was one of the owners of the Destiny Stone Tablet back then!"

Shi Ji looked at the woman in black with surprise.

"What? You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can test it with a drop of blood!"

Shi Ji bit her fingertip, and her blood fell onto the Pillar of Fate. The moment the blood stained the pillar...

An overwhelming and terrifying aura erupted from the Pillar of Destiny.

The stone pillar seemed to be trying to break free.

But Shiji did not give it a chance.

Shi Ji directly activated the stone lamp.

The stone lamp vibrated and emitted even more terrifying flames.

The pillar of destiny was enveloped in the flames of the stone lamp.

The stone pillar quickly settled down.

At this moment, Shi Ji finally understood why the woman in black wouldn't let him get close to the Pillar of Destiny.

It turned out to be the case.

"My blood can restore the Pillar of Destiny to normal, so there's no need to worry about outside cultivators entering this place to search for the Stele of Destiny!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but murmur.

He examined the stone tablet of destiny; it was truly bizarre.

Shi Ji attempted to carry the stone tablet on her back.

Suddenly, a clicking sound rang out.

The material of the Destiny Stone began to crack.

"My God, this Destiny Stone is incredibly hard!"

Such hardness is absolutely astonishing.

Shiji then attempted to move the Destiny Stone, but failed again.

Undeterred, Shi Ji continued to try to move the stone tablet.

Try three times in a row.

The results were all the same.

"The Destiny Stone Tablet is completely immovable. Just how heavy is this tablet?" Shi Ji asked, frustrated.

“About 10 billion jin, or 200 billion jin,” the woman in black said.

Shi Ji nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

A stone tablet, so heavy.

This stele must be an extraordinary treasure.

This place is truly strange. Now that she has obtained the Destiny Stone Tablet, she cannot stay any longer. Shi Ji put away the Destiny Stone Tablet.

It then flew away.

The woman in black followed beside Shi Ji and said, "We're leaving. What about you?"

Shi Ji snorted coldly, "I came here to retrieve the Destiny Stone Tablet. Now that I have it, what am I still doing here?"

Shiji swept away.

"Kid, I advise you to stop here!"

A cold voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the void distorted.

A man appeared.

This person has six arms.

Its appearance is ferocious and terrifying.

"The Six-Armed Demon King!"

Shi Ji recognized the man's identity.

The Six-Armed Demon King has an extremely ancient origin; he was an incredibly powerful being from a bygone era.

He transformed from six arms into human form, but the specifics are unclear.

In short, the Six-Armed Demon King is extremely powerful. Among many strong individuals, his combat strength is enough to rank ninth, and some even suspect that he once reached the Emperor Lord realm.

The six-armed demon king possessed a total of six distinct talents.

Shi Ji had never witnessed any of the five talents among them.

The Six-Armed Demon King cultivated a mysterious and unpredictable curse technique.

This curse spell can shorten the lifespan of others; it is called the Curse of Fate.

This curse of fate is extremely powerful.

Once it is deployed.

Everyone's lifespan will be affected, ranging from a reduction of tens of thousands of years to a loss of tens of millions of years.

The so-called loss of lifespan refers to a significant reduction in a cultivator's destiny and lifespan.

Of course, a cultivator's lifespan will not continuously decrease; such situations only occur occasionally, and once calamity strikes, death will occur immediately.

The curse of fate is indeed terrifying.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?" Shi Ji chuckled and looked at the Six-Armed Demon King with a mocking expression.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

The six-armed demon roared in anger, raising one hand to grab Shi Ji, intending to tear her apart.

Shi Ji flicked her finger, unleashing a sword aura that sent the six-armed demon king flying.

The six-armed demon king crashed into the wall, smashing through it.

The six-armed demon king let out a shrill scream.

His face contorted, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

“You lowly human, how dare you destroy one of my arms! I will smash your bones, gouge out your eyes, drain your blood, and suck out your brains, so that you will suffer the deepest pain in the world.”

The six-armed demon king stared at Shi Ji with intense resentment and boundless hatred.

He wished he could tear Shi Ji to pieces.

But now he is no match for Shi Ji, and his only hope is that the restrictions here can kill Shi Ji.

"I'll see just how stubborn you really are!"

Immediately, Shi Ji threw a punch at the Six-Armed Demon King, a punch containing overwhelming power.

The six-armed demon king swung his other four arms to block Shi Ji's attack.

However, the Six-Armed Demon King was still swept away by Shi Ji's sweeping leg kick.

He fell and was completely disoriented.

"You are the weakest person I've ever met in terms of physical strength!"

"You're asking for it! You're asking for it!"

The six-armed demon king roared, soaring into the sky and lunging at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji remained calm as she swept a punch toward the six-armed demon king.

The two collided, accompanied by a violent impact. The Six-Armed Demon King was sent flying again, hundreds of meters away by Shi Ji's punch.

The six-armed demon king spat out a mouthful of blood, half of his body was blown apart.

"This guy's physical body is terrifyingly strong!"

The woman in black exclaimed in surprise, "Although the Six-Armed Demon King is quite powerful, he is no match for Shi Ji."

The gap is indeed huge.

The six-armed demon king's injuries healed rapidly.

"Boy, even if it costs me my life, I will kill you today!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in the eyes of the six-armed demon king.

The six-armed demon king pounced on Shiji again.

He conjured one malevolent rune after another with his hands.

Those evil runes swirled around him.

Each evil rune seemed to communicate with the outer cosmos.

Under the control of the six-armed demon king, stars fell from the outer space.

Subsequently, the meteorites struck Shiji.

The stone cliff stands in the void.

A surge of immense magical power erupted from his body.

All that magical power transformed into a sea of ​​fire, sweeping across the sky.

Shi Ji planned to use flames to burn the evil runes condensed by the six-armed demon king.

But right now.

Shi Ji felt a numbness all over her body, and she could hardly move.

"Boy, you've been poisoned! Your body is stiff, and I can do whatever I want with you now!"

The six-armed demon king burst into laughter.

"So it was highly poisonous." Shi Ji's expression was grim, but she remained calm.

He began to activate his Devouring Martial Soul to absorb the deadly poison.

The powerful devouring force emanating from the Devouring Martial Soul enveloped the deadly poisons surrounding Shi Ji.

In an instant.

The deadly poisons surged toward the vortex formed by the devouring martial spirit.

It was then swallowed up by the Devouring Martial Soul.

Shi Ji discovered that when the deadly poison entered the Devouring Martial Soul, it would be quickly converted into her own power by the Devouring Martial Soul.

This force is quite unique.

It seems to have a slight connection with the Devouring Martial Soul.

The Devouring Martial Soul is absorbing this highly toxic power.

After sensing something, Shi Ji immediately became excited.

These deadly poisons are the very poisons bred by the River of Curses.

This poison is exceptionally potent.

Even a celestial being would find it difficult to withstand.

Once this poison enters the body, it will gradually alter a person's bloodline, eventually causing the curse power within the bloodline to become increasingly stronger.

This situation is very similar to the deadly poison sealed within the Gate of Reincarnation.

Shi Ji frowned, recalling something: the deadly poison inside the Gate of Reincarnation seemed to have evolved from this poison.

But the poison within the Gate of Reincarnation seems even more terrifying. Shi Ji speculates that it might be because an endless abyss is sealed within the Gate of Reincarnation.
What secrets does that endless abyss hold?

Shi Ji decided to continue her search.

He walked toward the Six-Armed Demon King, who was completely enraged and looked at Shi Ji with a chilling killing intent.

Shi Ji conjured a sharp sword in her right hand and then swung it at the six-armed demon king.

A snapping sound suddenly rang out.

Shi Ji held her sword and slashed out one sword after another. With each slash, a crack appeared on the six-armed demon king's body.

"Ah, you damned brat, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I haven't avenged myself yet! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I curse you! I curse you to be condemned to eternal damnation!"

The six-armed demon king roared in fury.

"A curse?" Shi Ji's lips curled into a sinister smile. "The art of curses has long been lost, yet I have comprehended it. Do you think I'd be afraid of your curses? How absurd and laughable!"

Shi Ji sneered, "Today I will send you to your death!"

The words fell.

With a soft thud, Shi Ji's sword pierced the head of the six-armed demon king. Then, Shi Ji gripped the blade and severed the six-armed demon king's head with a single stroke.

Blood splattered, staining the cliffs red.

Shi Ji reached out and took the storage ring from the Six-Armed Demon King.

The storage ring that the Six-Armed Demon King always carried was extremely valuable.

Shi Ji speculated that this was a storage ring left behind by an Emperor-level being; otherwise, how could someone possess such a heaven-defying treasure?

Shi Ji placed the corpse of the six-armed demon king into a jade bottle made from the five-colored golden toad.

Shi Ji then collected the essence and blood of the Six-Armed Demon King.

Shi Ji prepared to refine the essence and blood of the Six-Armed Demon King.

Because the Six-Armed Demon King's bloodline was exceptionally powerful, Shi Ji worried that her own bloodline strength would be insufficient to refine the bloodline within the Six-Armed Demon King's body. (End of Chapter)
