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

"Master, don't worry. I come from the Netherworld. I fled here to escape my enemies." The little demon explained gently, its wings fluttering softly, emitting a gentle power that enveloped Shi Ji's primordial spirit.

Soon, Shi Ji's primordial spirit successfully returned to her physical body.

"Alright, you should rest now." Little Demon looked at Shi Ji and said, "Don't worry, I will help you find more primordial spirits and nurture you into a supreme being." As it spoke, its wings flapped continuously.

“Okay, I’ll take a nap first. When I wake up, we can rebuild the physical body.” Shi Ji nodded. “Thank you.”

"Master, you're too kind. I've only come here following my destiny," the little demon replied. "By the way, Master, your cultivation is far too weak right now. I suggest you improve your strength as soon as possible, otherwise even I won't be able to do anything to you."

“I understand, and I will work hard to cultivate,” Shi Ji said earnestly.

After speaking, Shi Ji sat cross-legged in this space and began to circulate the "Chaos Creation Technique" to temper her primordial spirit and physical body at the same time.

After an unknown amount of time, the primordial spirit and physical body finally merged perfectly. Shi Ji opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as a knife.

The moment he opened his eyes, a sudden gust of wind swept through the space and rushed straight towards him.

Immediately afterwards, a clear sword sound rang out. A bronze-colored longsword appeared out of thin air, about five meters long and three fingers wide.

The sword tip gleamed with a cold light, incredibly sharp.

The sound of the sword echoed through the space, and the gust of wind vanished without a trace.

A bronze longsword shot out from the sky, slicing through the void and piercing the heavens.

Spatial rifts spread, and countless sword marks appeared, nearly causing the entire space to collapse. This was the true power that Shi Ji could unleash at her current level.

This is a state of transcendence beyond the mundane, usually existing only in legends. Only those who comprehend the laws of Nirvana can achieve this, yet Shi Ji has already broken through the void.

"Amazing!" Shi Ji exclaimed, her eyes burning with admiration.

"Master, your cultivation is still quite shallow, but it's still remarkable." The little demon chuckled, a hint of slyness in his voice. "So many people are envious. Alright, Master, let's hurry up and go out, so as not to waste time and cause any unforeseen complications."

"Hmm." Shi Ji nodded and stood up.

He stepped on the fragments of the Tai Chi Sky-Escape Shuttle and swiftly left this space. Soon, his figure descended upon the mountain peak, where he saw many familiar faces—all people from the Gate of the Underworld.

Tang Yingjun rushed over, his face full of excitement.

"Brother Shi, you've finally emerged from seclusion!" Xu Wenqiang, Li Kuishen, and the others rushed forward, their bodies radiating a strong aura of menace.

"Everyone, I'm fine now." Shi Ji nodded slightly.

"Congratulations!" Xu Wenqiang and the others smiled and clasped their hands in congratulations.

“I’m all settled here. Let’s head deeper into the mountains to search for the Nine Netherworld Emperor’s legacy. Let’s try to condense more primordial spirits during this time.” Shi Ji walked up to the group and asked with a smile, “By the way, how did you all end up here?”

“I just received news that the Demon Lord of this area has fallen,” Xu Wenqiang explained. “The Demon Lord was a big shot in our Southeast City. A ferocious demon king suddenly appeared in this sea area and for some reason broke into the territory of Boni Continent. We are here to ask for help.”

"A demon king?" Shi Ji shook her head with a wry smile. "This sea area is indeed chaotic enough." Without a doubt, it must be a powerful figure brought here by that demon lord. It seems that demonic beasts from this region are constantly pouring into China, and the situation is already unstable.

"Let's go." Shi Ji hesitated for a moment, then took a step.

Xu Wenqiang and the others followed closely behind. Soon, the group arrived at a huge canyon.

"Is this the Nine Nether Abyss?"

Violent fluctuations emanated from the depths of the canyon.

The spiritual energy here is exceptionally dense, with dark rivers winding around, exuding a terrifying aura. Many ferocious creatures, all escaped from the Nine Nether Abyss, lurk within these rivers.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is extremely dense, and even some low-level ferocious beasts appear here, their auras being far more ferocious than those outside.

"Everyone be careful, these ferocious birds and beasts are as powerful as Nirvana Realm experts," Xu Wenqiang warned warily.

“That’s right, Nirvana Realm.” Shi Ji murmured to herself as she looked at the ferocious birds and beasts.

He looked down at the bronze longsword in his hand. Years ago, his parents had been trapped in this very area. Now, he had finally arrived, ready to test the waters and see if he could find any opportunity within.

As she spoke, Shi Ji walked towards the center of the area. There lay a lake as black as ink, with a dark cloud hovering above its surface.

A scarlet light shimmered in the dark clouds, like a star suspended in the sky.

"Such a strong smell of blood!" Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise upon noticing the blood mist.

“Master, this should be the aura of a demon,” the little demon explained. “When demons in this area die, they leave behind this kind of blood. However, this blood has long since decayed and contains deadly poison.”

"I see."

Shi Ji stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant lake.

Just then, the lake surface suddenly churned. A thick column of water shot into the sky with destructive force.

A hideous maw emerged from the lake and swallowed the blood tree on its shore whole. Then, the maw spat out a piece of bright red, dripping flesh, exuding an evil aura.

A trace of the demon race's unique essence then permeated the air.

Suddenly, a roar exploded from a distant time and space, and a violent and terrifying bloody power swept in all directions, shaking heaven and earth.

"That's the Demon Emperor's roar!" Shi Ji's expression changed.

"The Demon Emperor's roar?" Little Demon was also taken aback. "No wonder he has such a powerful Demon Emperor bloodline. Master, your current cultivation level is not suitable for provoking him. If you confront him, you will surely die."

“I understand. Let’s go, there are quite a few experts in this area.” Shi Ji nodded and led the group to other areas.

Soon, they discovered several inheritors of the Demon Emperor's bloodline, as well as some powerful demons.

"You've finally emerged from seclusion." A hearty laugh echoed from the void, and a figure stood proudly—it was Bei Yinyang.

"Why are you here?" Shi Ji asked in confusion.

"You bastard, aren't you going to welcome me?" Bei Yinyang grinned, walked up to Shi Ji with his hands behind his back, and said, "So, are you confident now?"

"Even if you're not confident, you have to give it a try." Shi Ji looked at him.

“Yes, I support you. I believe you will succeed.” Bei Yinyang sighed softly, “My time on this continent is getting shorter and shorter.” “What’s going on?” Shi Ji frowned.

"To be honest, I'm about to return to the God Realm. The situation there is complicated, and my identity has been exposed." Bei Yinyang said with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

“Wouldn’t it be more dangerous for you to go back?” Shi Ji pondered for a moment.

"Don't worry. We have an ancestor in our Northern Yin Palace who will help me. Rest assured, next time we meet, I will be the supreme being of the God Realm. If you encounter any danger then, I'll slap that guy to death." Bei Yin Yang smiled proudly.

"Damn, what a load of bull," Shi Ji cursed.

"Damn it, believe me if you want. I'm leaving. You're in charge of dealing with the demons in this area. Not just demons, I suggest you subdue them. These demons have devoured countless humans and ferocious beasts. Make them submit to you." Bei Yinyang pointed to the demon corpses scattered on the ground—the corpses were all pieced together from the remains of humans and ferocious beasts, numbering over a thousand.

Each skeleton is like an unstoppable, peerless divine weapon.
“Alright.” Shi Ji nodded slightly upon hearing this. “Then I will refine them first.” As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji stepped forward, took out her bronze longsword, and plunged it straight into the pile of demon bones.

A sharp, piercing metallic clang suddenly resounded through the sky, and the bronze longsword burst forth with dazzling light. This light fell upon the corpses of the demons, and in an instant, the demon corpses trembled violently a few times before gradually dissolving into the void.

Shi Ji drew his longsword repeatedly, and the skeletons shattered in mid-air, turning into ashes, which were then absorbed into the depths of his dantian. The blood-red mist that clung to his body also completely dissipated.

"Let's go, it's time to go back." Shi Ji turned around and looked at Xiao Mo, Huang Mao, and Xiao Dou Ding.

When Little Bean and Little Demon heard Shi Ji's call, they were so excited that they danced with joy.

Their figures then soared into the sky and vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Brother Shi, congratulations on emerging from seclusion! You have already entered the realm of supernatural powers!" Just as Shi Ji left, a man dressed in blue walked over.

The man had clear, sparkling eyes, like jewels, and exuded a mysterious aura. Beside him was a woman in a pink dress, whose beauty was exquisite. Her face was covered by a light veil, revealing only her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

The visitor was none other than a descendant.

Behind Houyi was a butterfly, which was an extremely powerful divine weapon with wings as sharp as knives.

This butterfly is the same one that Houyi obtained in Nanling.

"No," Shi Ji replied calmly. "How did you end up here?"

"I heard you were here, so I came to see you." Hou Yi put his hands behind his back, walked to the lakeside and sat down, sighing, "I really envy you, Brother Shi. It's just a pity that I couldn't survive that tribulation of lightning."

"Your accumulation should be nearly complete, so why are you still hesitant to undergo the tribulation?" Shi Ji asked, looking at her descendant.

"Alas, for powerhouses like us, once we advance to the Divine Power Realm, it's incredibly difficult to complete another transformation," Hou Yi said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

“Indeed, you are only one step away from your transformation, but once you cross that threshold, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and your combat power will increase several times over.” Shi Ji said calmly, “Don’t you want to break through?”

"Yes, I dream about it all the time," Hou Yi sighed.

"I'm afraid not?" Shi Ji suddenly stared sharply at Hou Yi and said, "Although your strength has reached this level, you are not a native of this universe. The divine laws and magic you possess have flaws."

Upon hearing this, the pink-clad woman beside Hou Yi trembled slightly, her eyes fixed on Shi Ji, as if trying to discern something from his gaze.

Hou Yi himself stiffened, and he looked at Shi Ji with a gloomy expression, saying, "Shi Ji, you are framing me and slandering me!"

"I'm framing you? Houyi, there are no outsiders here. Tell me, what secrets are you hiding?" Shiji asked Houyi, staring directly at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Hou Yi remained standing with his hands behind his back.

"Houyi, if you refuse to speak, then don't blame me for being impolite." Shiji said calmly, taking a step forward to stand in front of Houyi.

"Shiji!" Houyi exclaimed in shock upon seeing this, "I admit I've been keeping an eye on you all this time, but you can't slander me like this!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji snorted coldly, and in a flash, she appeared in front of Hou Yi. She struck out with a palm, and this punch, carrying a world-destroying domineering aura, slammed hard into Hou Yi's chest.

With a powerful punch, Hou Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground some distance away.

He felt as if several of his ribs were broken and his vital energy was dissipating.

He coughed up another mouthful of blood, and Houyi's face turned ashen.

"Shi Ji, have you gone mad? How dare you attack your own people!" the woman in pink shouted at Shi Ji. "Besides, where is this? How dare you injure someone from our Houyi family?"

As she spoke, the woman in pink took out a purple bell.

The purple bell emitted an eerie light, within which emanated an extremely terrifying toxicity, a hundred times more potent than the poison previously released by Hou Yi.

Moreover, this bell is a powerful, high-grade divine weapon.

"Oh, so you're the maid from Houyi's family. What's your name?" Shi Ji asked, looking at the woman in pink before her.

"What do you mean by my name? Today I must seek justice for the young master!" the woman in pink shouted coldly.

"Seeking justice?" Upon hearing this, Shi Ji laughed loudly, "I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson." Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a fierce gust of wind swept out, instantly enveloping the woman in pink.

The purple bell in the pink-clad woman's hand vibrated, creating ripples that formed a barrier that protected her entire body.

The woman in pink kept shaking the bell, and the barrier instantly became as hard as solidified crystal. No matter howling wind came, it could not break through the bell's defense.

Shi Ji snorted coldly, and a token suddenly appeared in her hand.

The token was engraved with simple and ancient patterns.

The token shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of black mist that obscured the void and instantly submerged the entire swamp area. It then quickly shrank back into Shi Ji's hand, and Shi Ji's figure disappeared as well.

Suddenly, a colossal wave surged from the deep mud of the swamp, soaring into the sky and creating terrifying waves. These waves swept outwards, turning into a massive flood that spread for tens of thousands of miles, submerging everything in its path.

Seeing this, Houyi shouted a few times in a panic, but the raging flood had already swallowed everything.

He struggled to his feet to escape, but as soon as he stood up, the floodwaters engulfed him, submerging his entire body.

The descendants let out angry and resentful roars.

The woman in pink was terrified at the sight. The purple bells on her body vibrated violently, and wisps of purple divine light emanated from them.

The woman in pink extended her finger and touched Hou Yi's brow. (End of Chapter)
