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

"You dare stop? You're asking for death!"

Zhu Hongyan sneered.

"You think it's that easy to kill me?"

"I admit you are quite strong, but you are too arrogant. Today I will kill you first and then take your treasure!"

Zhu Hongyan sneered and then pounced on Shi Ji.

This time, Zhu Hongyan unleashed three flying swords.

The three flying swords were black, white, and cyan, respectively.

Black is the sword of death, white is the sword of life, and cyan is the sword of revival.

The three flying swords each occupied a different location.

The black flying sword of death represents the power of death and contains an extremely strong aura of death.

The moment the Death Sword struck Shi Ji, the surrounding world seemed to transform into a world of death.

This area is filled with the power of death.

The swords of life and revival slashed towards Shiji.

The attack from the two flying swords was truly terrifying.

This startled Shi Ji.

These three flying swords are indeed too powerful.

Zhu Hongyan is a formidable expert.

Shi Ji dared not be careless. He pushed the Devouring Martial Soul to its limit and then unleashed the Overbearing Aura of the Epoch.

The power of the era's domineering energy merged with the magic of Shi Ji.

Shi Ji planned to resist Zhu Hongyan's attack.

Amidst a series of violent collisions, Shi Ji's Epochal Aura clashed with the black Death Flying Sword.

The two sides erode and destroy each other.

Then Shiji clashed with the Sword of Life.

They shot at each other, then quickly separated.

Shi Ji's body swayed continuously.

Suddenly he coughed up a mouthful of blood; Shi Ji's injuries were quite severe.

But he ignored his own injuries.

Shi Ji unleashed the power of a dragon and an elephant.

He punched Zhu Hongyan.

Zhu Hongyan remained indifferent as she grabbed Shi Ji's fist, intending to tear it apart.

But at that very moment...

Shi Ji swung her other arm and delivered a sweeping kick straight to Zhu Hongyan's head.

Zhu Hongyan snorted coldly and slapped Shi Ji's kneecap with her palm.

A cracking sound suddenly rang out.

Zhu Hongyan's shock caused Shi Ji's leg bones to break inch by inch.

Fortunately, Shi Ji was physically strong enough that she did not fall down despite her broken leg.

In contrast, consider Zhu Hongyan.

But he couldn't help but gasp.

Shi Ji's physical defenses are truly astonishing.

She slammed her palm into Shi Ji's kneecap.

However, half of his arm was severely injured by Shi Ji's sweeping leg kick.

"My arm is injured!"

Zhu Hongyan narrowed her eyes to slits.

She roared in anger.

"Your physical body is indeed strong, but do you think you can fight me with just your physical body? Let me tell you, my cultivation level is far beyond your imagination!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Zhu Hongyan's eyes.

Three flying swords flew out and circled around Zhu Hongyan's body.

Zhu Hongyan waved her right hand lightly, and in an instant, three flying swords came hurtling towards Shi Ji.

Each of these three flying swords is a quasi-Emperor level weapon.

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

He moved his body to the left, trying to avoid the attack of the three flying swords.

However, Shi Ji underestimated the power of these three flying swords.

After Shi Ji dodged the attacks of the three flying swords, a flying sword came slashing down.

That flying sword was the Sword of Resurrection.

As the sword slashed towards Shiji.

Shi Ji was greatly surprised; this sword actually contained a strange curse power.

That eerie, cursed power.

Even Shi Ji's stone doppelganger was no match for it.

Not to mention, they couldn't even withstand the flying sword.

Shi Ji had no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight.

He quickly darted to the side.

The sword of resurrection grazed Shi Ji's neck, slicing through her skin.

Blood splattered in an instant.

And that blood.

They are all dark brown.

The blood of Shiji emits a highly poisonous odor.

"Hmm, you're not simple. You actually have the bloodline of a Golden Immortal level expert flowing through your veins. It seems you must be a cultivator at the Immortal Sect level?"

Zhu Hongyan looked at Shi Ji in surprise.

"That's right, I am indeed at the Immortal Lord level. Your situation seems to be worse than mine, doesn't it? You only have a year left to live, right?"

Shi Ji said that these words were entirely intended to disturb Zhu Hongyan's mind and affect her fighting state.

This woman is truly terrifying. Even though Shi Ji has many trump cards, she is no match for Zhu Hongyan.

He still has no hope of winning.

This place is Zhu Hongyan's home turf; she is the true ruler of this land.

Normally, Shi Ji would have already fled and would never have dared to confront Zhu Hongyan head-on.

But now Shiji cannot escape.

Shiji needs Zhu Hongyan's blood.

Zhu Hongyan's blood contains potent poison and is one of the key ingredients for refining the Nine Yang Elixir.

Therefore, Shi Ji must take Zhu Hongyan's blood.

If we cannot obtain Zhu Hongyan's blood.

The Nine Yang Grass could not be successfully refined.

Zhu Hongyan looked surprised after hearing Shi Ji tell her about her situation. She did not expect that Shi Ji knew the details of her situation.

"You little beast! You are indeed extraordinary, but you are ultimately just an ant! Today you are destined to die here, and your bones will be used to sacrifice for my precious daughter. I will prepare a coffin for you!"

Zhu Hongyan stared at Shi Ji with a shrill voice and boundless resentment.

As soon as she finished speaking, her hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.

Her lips moved a few times, and then she recited an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyan formed a hand seal.

Void oscillation.

In front of the rocky islet, a dense array of runes appeared.

The runes combined to form a massive altar.

On that enormous altar.

A woman was sitting cross-legged.

The woman was wearing a red dress and had her hair disheveled.

But she was absolutely stunning.

She is like a peony in full bloom.

She outshone all others in beauty.

That alluring quality is breathtaking.

Upon seeing the woman in red.

Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It turned out that this woman was Zhu Hongyan's younger sister.

"Hehehehe, you really do know my sister! In all this time, apart from my parents and siblings, I have never seen anyone else who can call out my sister's name! Since you can call out my sister's name, it proves that my guess was correct!"

Zhu Hongyan smiled sinisterly.

Her gaze toward Shi Ji was cruel.

Zhu Hongyan's body gradually began to appear ethereal.

The black demonic runes surged into her soul, beginning to devour it.

She was about to collapse, Zhu Hongyan knew, and she needed to stall for a little longer.
I fear I will perish here.

At this moment, Zhu Hongyan planned to exhaust all her energy and spirit, and burn all her potential to enhance her combat power.

A ferocious look appeared on Zhu Hongyan's face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Boy, you're dead! You're absolutely dead!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Hongyan rushed forward.

She raised her right foot and stomped hard on Shi Ji's chest.

A dull thud followed.

Zhu Hongyan's right foot landed on Shi Ji's chest.

Shi Ji was kicked away by Zhu Hongyan.

Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face ashen. Zhu Hongyan's offensive did not stop.

She charged toward the rocky shore again, intending to press her advantage.

"The world is destroyed by ten thousand stars!"

Shi Ji unleashed the newly mastered Myriad Stars Annihilation Divine Power.

The countless stars in the sky coalesced and took shape, transforming into billions of beams of starlight.

The dense beams of starlight bombarded Zhu Hongyan.

"What kind of supernatural power is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

Zhu Hongyan dared not hesitate and immediately used her strongest technique to defend herself.

Zhu Hongyan quickly drew hand seals, imprinting them one after another in the void.

Those incantations and techniques.

They intertwined to form a powerful binding array, covering all directions of heaven and earth, intending to trap Shi Ji, while she herself quickly escaped from this area.

Shi Ji's Myriad Stars Annihilation instantly broke through the binding array set up by Zhu Hongyan, and then continued to bombard Zhu Hongyan.

Shi Ji knew that if Zhu Hongyan escaped, her own situation would be extremely dangerous, so she was determined to kill Zhu Hongyan even if it meant risking her life.

Zhu Hongyan sneered, "My ultimate technique is called 'Red Dust Tribulation Finger'! It is a powerful divine power that can reverse life and death! Today, I will use this divine power to send you to your death!"

Zhu Hongyan waved her right hand, and the void cracked open, forming a Red Dust Tribulation Finger.

The mortal tribulation finger seemed to contain a world within it, a mortal world, reborn from destruction.

Zhu Hongyan's supernatural powers.

It was truly extraordinary.

The mortal tribulation finger hurtled towards Shi Ji, and just as it was about to strike her, Shi Ji activated the Samsara Heaven-Reaching Technique, enveloping her entire body in the power of reincarnation.

The power of reincarnation coalesced into a protective shield.

When that mortal tribulation finger descended, it directly destroyed the protective shield.

The protective shield shattered instantly.

Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Although Shiji was cautious enough.

Zhu Hongyan's attack still dealt a heavy blow to Shi Ji.

At this moment, Zhu Hongyan once again condensed a Red Dust Tribulation Finger.

The Red Dust Tribulation Finger swiftly slammed towards Shiji.

Just as the mortal tribulation finger was about to strike Shiji.

At this critical moment, countless lightning chains appeared around Shi Ji.

Those lightning chains instantly bound Zhu Hongyan, suspending her in mid-air.

Zhu Hongyan tried to struggle, but found that she could not break free from the bindings of the thunder chains.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing? How could it trap me?"

Zhu Hongyan roared angrily.

"Zhu Hongyan, do you still think so highly of yourself? Now you are a prisoner!"

Shi Ji looked at Zhu Hongyan with a mocking gaze, her eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

An even stronger aura of death emanated from between Zhu Hongyan's brows.

She attempted to detonate her own soul.

"Give up the resistance! You have no chance!"

Zhu Hongyan's eyes widened.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

She had lost the strength to refute Shi Ji.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled! I was the high and mighty Holy Maiden of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, destined to reach the pinnacle, but I've fallen here!"

Zhu Hongyan murmured softly.

She seemed to be cursing Shiji, and also cursing the heavens.

Zhu Hongyan's vitality is fading away.

Her skin began to crack and even gradually ulcerate; her body was collapsing.

Many people sighed, feeling sorry for Zhu Hongyan, because she was a female cultivator with exceptional talent.

Moreover, she was a saintess cultivated by a top-tier power like the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect.

Zhu Hongyan truly deserves everyone's admiration.

But a pity.

Zhu Hongyan met Shi Ji.

Shi Ji is too powerful.

Everyone believed that Zhu Hongyan was doomed.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

Zhu Hongyan's resentful voice rang out as she detonated her own soul.

In an instant.

A terrifying fluctuation emanated from Zhu Hongyan's soul; the fluctuation was truly frightening.

"It's over, Zhu Hongyan is finished. Her soul has probably been completely shattered, right?"

The crowd began to discuss it.

Shi Ji frowned slightly. How could Zhu Hongyan's soul not have been destroyed? That was quite strange.

Shi Ji sensed the fluctuations in Zhu Hongyan's soul and walked towards the ball of flame.

The flame drew closer and closer...
Shiji is only about 100 meters away from Zhu Hongyan.

Shi Ji still failed to get close to Zhu Hongyan.

Shi Ji's face suddenly darkened.

Who exactly is that being in the flames?

Is it really that powerful? Even the soul is so terrifying.

Could the other party be an Emperor-level being?

If so.

Shi Ji's expression shifted between light and dark.

"Little fellow, do you perhaps wish to take my soul? Not bad, not bad, you have such courage and boldness at such a young age, you are indeed worthy of being the vessel I have chosen."

Just now.

A deep, hoarse voice rang out from between Zhu Hongyan's eyebrows. Upon hearing that voice, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

"Who are you?" Shi Ji asked in a deep voice.

"You will soon find out who I am," the voice said.

Immediately, a strange fluctuation emanated from Zhu Hongyan's soul.

That fluctuation contained a terrifying power of devouring.

That devouring power was simply inconceivable, as if it could devour everything. Even Shi Ji felt a great threat because that devouring power was too terrifying.

Shi Ji spoke to the Demon Lord inside the Xuanyuan starship.

He then quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and Zhu Hongyan.

next moment.

Shi Ji drew her Phoenix Sword and unleashed the third move of the Great Five Decay Technique.

A loud, piercing, sharp cry suddenly rang out, like a phoenix's cry shaking the heavens and earth.

Shi Ji's move, "Phoenix Nirvana," transformed into a phoenix burning with dark karmic fire, which flapped its wings and rushed towards Zhu Hongyan's soul.

"What kind of supernatural power is this? How can it be so sinister?"

Zhu Hongyan cried out in alarm. She quickly manipulated her soul to avoid the phoenix that Shi Ji had unleashed. Shi Ji's second move, "Azure Dragon Probing Claw," struck Zhu Hongyan again.

With a loud bang, a violent collision occurred, and Zhu Hongyan was once again thrown back.

Shi Ji's third move, "Phoenix Roars to the Sky," then followed closely.

Zhu Hongyan's soul was swept up by Phoenix Xiaotian.

Zhu Hongyan's soul immediately emitted an extremely shrill scream.

Zhu Hongyan's soul is being burned.

"Spare me! Spare me! Please spare me! I'm willing to submit to you!"

Zhu Hongyan began to wail.

She was truly terrified. She had thought that with her powerful soul, she could kill Shi Ji and seize the treasures on Shi Ji's body.

But now it seems that it was all just an illusion.

Shi Ji possesses many secrets.

But she was unable to defeat Shi Ji.

She lost this battle.

Her ending may be very tragic.

"Only now do you know to beg for mercy? What were you doing all this time? Too late, you only have yourself to blame!"

Shi Ji snorted coldly and continued to urge Phoenix Roaring to attack Zhu Hongyan's soul.

Zhu Hongyan's soul continued to shrink under the onslaught of Phoenix Xiaotian.

Her face showed an expression of extreme pain, but she did not compromise, because Zhu Hongyan believed that Shi Ji would one day fall into her hands, and at that time, what awaited Shi Ji would be an irredeemable end.

Zhu Hongyan would never allow such a thing to happen, so even though her soul was extremely weak at this moment.

Zhu Hongyan continued to fight with all her might against Shi Ji's attacks.

The phoenix's howl echoed through the sky over Shiji for several days, until finally, Zhu Hongyan's soul was burned to ashes.

Meanwhile, Shi Ji's divine sense entered Zhu Hongyan's mind, searching for the memories in Zhu Hongyan's soul.

Shiji found a picture.

A young man.

Seated cross-legged on the ground, a stone spear embedded in his legs, the man's face was contorted with a ferocious and twisted expression, making him appear exceptionally terrifying. (End of Chapter)
