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

At the same time, the Burial Sky Sword in Shi Ji's hand burst forth with destructive power, enough to sever any imperial weapon. Even quasi-divine weapons would find it difficult to withstand, after all, the Burial Sky Sword is a quasi-divine weapon.

The Burial Heaven Sword Blade erupted with dazzling light, illuminating Shi Ji's entire body. The blood within Shi Ji's body began to boil, and terrifying auras rose and grew stronger, with a terrifying flow of energy emanating from her body.

This sight immediately made the dark, nether energy become agitated and restless. It roared to the sky, and a cloud of dark mist appeared on its body.

This dark mist, carrying a mysterious current containing the power of an evil curse, enveloped Shi Ji's body directly.

"Ah!" Shi Ji cried out in agony, looking up at the sky.

Just as Shi Ji's screams ceased, the mysterious air currents dissipated, transforming into a shower of black raindrops that fell upon Shi Ji. This black rain was strange and carried a mysterious aura, seeping directly into Shi Ji's body. Shi Ji's physical body trembled, and her primordial spirit also trembled.

At this moment, Shi Ji couldn't help but let out a long howl, a ferocious smile appearing on her face.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly felt his soul power increase dramatically, and a soul seed was born within his soul. This seed was crystal clear, with a trace of chaotic energy, and contained unfathomable power.

He understood that this was the seed of the soul, and that his soul would eventually give birth to the seed of the soul.

Moreover, Shi Ji vaguely sensed that this was not yet fully mature and still lacked a bit of nourishment. Even so, he was overjoyed, knowing that he was one step closer to the quasi-god realm.

A vortex appeared above his head, and his primordial spirit was immersed in the vortex, constantly repairing its wounds and restoring its strength.

Not only that, but Shi Ji also held the Nine Dragons Diagram, the Immortal Execution Sword, the Soul-Devouring Gourd, the Five Thunder God Hammer, and other treasures in her hands, which were stained with Shi Ji's blood and exuded a world-destroying power.

Shi Ji moved swiftly to the other end of the Netherworld God's Chains, wielding the Burial Heaven Sword and slashing fiercely, instantly severing the black coffin chains once more.

The Underworld Emperor's voice was filled with shock and anger.

"How could this be? This child has actually broken through."

"As expected of the host I chose, but so what? Today I must suppress and devour it so that I can condense the second chain."

"Boy, you can't escape today."

A series of voices came from the Netherworld God's Chain, which rapidly extended out, as fast as lightning, and lashed straight at Shi Ji.

A sharp sword cry rang out as Shi Ji unleashed a punch, striking the Netherworld God Chains with tremendous force. Instantly, the pitch-black chains shattered into fragments, and Shi Ji's figure was forced back thousands of feet.

Shi Ji stood atop the altar, gazing at the scene before her, slightly surprised that the power of the Underworld God's chains was so weak.

This is not because she is weak, but simply because Shi Ji's cultivation has improved too rapidly, so her power far exceeds that of an ordinary half-step quasi-god.

"Boy, you are indeed powerful, but in my eyes you are still an ant!" The cold and sinister voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out.

As they spoke, the chains of the underworld struck Shiji once more.

Shi Ji's eyes shone with lightning-like sharpness, and his aura surged once more, transforming him into a cosmic star, unleashing destructive power. He unleashed the Burial Sky Sword in his hand in a frenzied dance.

Instantly, the Burial Heaven Sword, carrying immense power, slashed towards the Nether God's Chains, with massive sword energies tearing through the void and striking the Nether God's Chains.

A clear, resonant sword cry rang out as the Burial Heaven Sword and the Underworld God's Chains clashed violently.

A series of ear-piercing collisions rang out as Shi Ji's sword energy clashed with the sword energy of the Burial Sky Sword.

At this moment, Shi Ji felt a chill run down her spine, sensing a dangerous aura.

"Boy, I acknowledge your qualifications to be my host. I will give you two paths to choose from." The Dark Emperor's deep voice suddenly rang out: "The first path is to become my servant and serve me as your master."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji laughed loudly, "Little thing, wishful thinking! How could I be manipulated by you!"

“Boy, you are the second person in 368,700 years to cultivate a soul seed. I nurtured you, so you should be loyal to me. I can grant you any request.”

The Underworld Emperor's voice was full of seductive meaning: "Just name your merit points, and I will satisfy you."

"Who do you think you are, to have the right to negotiate with me?" Shi Ji said with an arrogant smile.

"Fine, very well. Since that's the case, I'll make sure you die without a burial place."

The cold, sinister voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out: "Boy, today I will make you wish you were dead, and I will mold you into a puppet to feed my demon god's corpse."

Once its remains transform into a true divine corpse, my strength may surpass what it once was.

Just as the Underworld Emperor finished speaking, a jet-black chain pierced through the void like a venomous snake, heading straight for Shi Ji's throat with lightning speed.

The pitch-black chains unleashed a world-destroying aura, causing the void to collapse and the sky to shatter wherever they passed.

Just before the dark chains reached Shi Ji's throat, Shi Ji slashed out with the Burial Sky Sword, which collided with the dark chains.

A violent scraping sound rang out as the tip of the Burial Sky Sword clashed violently with the pitch-black chain.

The violent impact echoed continuously. Shi Ji stood firm, holding the Burial Sky Sword, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at the Underworld Emperor and said, "Old beast, you are indeed capable. Now I will show you my true fighting power."

As Shi Ji finished speaking, a vast crimson light surged around her, rising like a boundless ocean and sweeping across the sky. It then transformed into a surging primordial current that spread across the land.

Ancient runes were inscribed in the void, densely packed, each rune containing mysterious patterns. These runes intertwined and combined to form a huge network that obscured the sun and sky.

This giant net exudes an aura of destruction, its surface covered with various ancient scripts.

Gazing at the void array, the Underworld Emperor hovered in mid-air, a mocking expression on his lips: "Boy, you think you can trap me with your paltry tricks? You're dreaming!"

The figure of the Underworld Emperor stood in the void, the Underworld God Chains on his wrist roaring violently, shaking the mountains and rivers, and a terrifying aura slowly rose.

This terrifying aura was like that of a god descending to earth. The golden ring on his wrist burst forth with brilliant light, and a golden bead floated in mid-air, emanating a vast and oppressive aura.

A hazy figure emerged from within the golden bead; it was none other than the Underworld Emperor.

The Underworld Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at Shi Ji.

Just then, a golden flame appeared, carrying the aura of burning away all heavens, enveloping Shi Ji's figure. This golden flame was none other than Shi Ji's True Solar Fire, which she had comprehended earlier.

Although it is only the first glimpse of the true fire of the sun, its power is far inferior to that of the genuine article.

But Shi Ji was able to unleash his power. With a single strike of his Burial Sky Sword, he severed the seal of the Underworld God's chains with overwhelming force.

At the same time, he struck the golden bead with his palm, sending it flying.

A shrill roar came from the depths of the dark chains, and then a wisp of blood-red mist appeared on the surface of the chains, containing an extremely dense curse power.

The power of the curse seeped into Shi Ji's mind.

"You're courting death!" Shi Ji's eyes flashed with icy coldness as she continued to slash at the black chain with the Burial Sky Sword. This chain was forged from the blood of the Underworld Emperor. If it were broken, the Underworld Emperor would be severely injured.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the black chains were severed once again, collapsing into the void.

At that moment, an even more terrifying aura permeated the entire palace, causing Shi Ji to tremble with fear. This aura bore a striking resemblance to the demon god he had once fought against.
This must be another demon god, and one even more terrifying than the one he encountered.

He instantly retreated thousands of meters, looking towards the end of the hall.

At the end stood a hazy figure, exuding overwhelming power, surrounded by demonic clouds, like a king descending to earth. This powerful being's aura was comparable to that of a demon god.

"Very well, I didn't expect you to escape!" The figure stared at Shi Ji with cold, ruthless eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing in his gaze. With a flick of his sleeve, the black iron chains rattled loudly.

These pitch-black iron chains swept towards Shiji from all directions, wrapping around his body and binding him in mid-air.

An extremely evil power emanated from the iron chains, frantically eroding Shi Ji's primordial spirit.

"Get out of my sight!"

Crimson blood trickled from the corner of Shi Ji's mouth. He roared to the sky, his body surging with a power as vast as the sea. He gripped the Burial Sky Sword and slashed fiercely at the black iron chains.

A piercing sound of impact rang out in the void.

The Burial Sky Sword slammed into the dark iron chain, causing it to vibrate violently but not shatter.

"Boy, you are no match for me!"

The hazy figure spoke in an icy tone, and its large hand suddenly pressed down on Shi Ji's chest, injecting a strange, cursed power into Shi Ji's body.

Shi Ji roared in agony as she looked up at the sky, feeling her life force rapidly draining away, before her entire figure vanished into the void.

The hazy figure looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "Boy, this is only the beginning. I will slowly torture your soul until it is completely decayed." After saying this, the figure turned and left.

The hazy figure gradually faded until it disappeared.

At the same time, Shi Ji's soul also awoke from its slumber. He felt as if he were dreaming, and he did not know when he was knocked unconscious and then fell into a coma.

"No wonder I sensed that familiar power? So that's how it is?" Shi Ji suddenly opened her eyes, a smile appearing on her lips.

He immediately examined his own primordial spirit, but found nothing unusual about it.

"Strange, how did I end up in that situation?" Shi Ji was puzzled, but he did feel that familiar power.

In any case, they finally escaped that danger.

He then sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate, recovering from his injuries. Although he had an absolute advantage in this battle, it had ultimately consumed a great deal of his energy and spirit, after all, he had fought his way here.

In less than ten minutes, Shi Ji had fully restored her vital energy.

He then took out the golden bead.

This bead is crystal clear, with mysterious and profound runes flashing inside. Its surface is covered with intricate patterns, faintly exuding an ancient and desolate aura, as if it can communicate with the deepest hell.

The moment Shi Ji took out the bead, the strange runes lit up with a dazzling light, and then a vast devouring power swept out from the bead, and the boundless power surged towards Shi Ji's primordial spirit.

"What's going on?" Shi Ji couldn't help but curse under her breath, her primordial spirit hurriedly dodging.

But it was too late.

His primordial spirit was immediately absorbed into the bead.

The bead crashed heavily to the ground, and Shi Ji's primordial spirit also fell out. Shi Ji's face showed shock: "This... it can actually extract my primordial spirit? My god, what is the use of this thing?"

Just as Shi Ji's thoughts were forming, the bead suddenly shot into the sky, flying to the top of the main hall in the void, with a strange vortex emanating from within.

A terrifying suction force emanated from the bead.

Instantly, the surrounding energy surged wildly into the pearl, and the vortex inside the pearl gradually grew larger.

Shi Ji stared at the scene before her, her primordial spirit hurriedly retreating several steps, watching the pearl warily, not understanding what the pearl intended to do.

Just as Shi Ji was pondering, the vortex within the pearl gradually calmed down, and a terrifying devouring force emanated from it. This force grew stronger and stronger, and Shi Ji felt her primordial spirit slipping out of her control, struggling to escape.

"Not bad!" A sinister voice suddenly rang out from deep within the bead. As the voice sounded, a dark figure stepped out of the bead.

This is a strange black butterfly with two wings on its back, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters, and the wings are as sharp as blades.

Its wings were like sharp steel, and each feather shimmered with a terrifying luster.

The butterfly-shaped primordial spirit was none other than Hou Yi's primordial spirit. At this moment, this primordial spirit was being violently torn apart by a terrifying devouring force, involuntarily flying towards the butterfly, and finally being firmly grasped in its palm by its sharp claws.

The butterfly spirit let out a strange, cackling laugh, staring at Hou Yi's spirit and mocking, "You little ant, you actually possess two spirits, how interesting!"

Hou Yi frowned, the shadow of death growing ever heavier. He asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"What do I want?" The butterfly spirit sneered repeatedly. "I just want to possess you. Our race desperately needs a new body. If you are unwilling, that's simple—either let me destroy your spirit directly, or obediently submit!" It paused, then added coldly, "Or, let me destroy your spirit with my own hands."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi snorted coldly and questioned without backing down, "Do you really dare to do it?"

"Little fellow, you're still too naive." A cruel smile curled at the corner of the butterfly spirit's lips. "I've lived for far too long, so long that I've long forgotten what fear feels like. Since you don't know what's good for you, I won't waste my breath on you anymore."

As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a terrifying devouring power surged out from the depths of its throat, carrying a world-destroying aura, instantly engulfing Houyi's primordial spirit.

The power was so strong that even Hou Yi's primordial spirit trembled with fear. He desperately circulated his primordial spirit power, trying to resist the suction force, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop the pull of the devouring power.

Ultimately, Houyi's primordial spirit was gradually dragged into the butterfly-shaped primordial spirit.

An angry roar erupted from Hou Yi's primordial spirit, echoing through the void, but ultimately could not change the outcome. After the butterfly's primordial spirit completely devoured Hou Yi's primordial spirit, its form suddenly shrank, becoming only about three feet tall.

A vast and ancient aura spread out, carrying a mysterious and timeless charm.

"Master, congratulations on your rebirth! From now on, call me Little Demon, hahaha..." Little Demon let out a hearty, cackling laugh, his voice full of joy.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji was stunned. "Holy crap, another primordial spirit has appeared, and it even has a name?"

"Ahem, little demon, where did you come from?" Shi Ji stared at the little butterfly in front of her, asking with a face full of doubt. (End of this chapter)
