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

However, the moment her fingers touched Hou Yi's brow, a blood-red bead suddenly appeared on Hou Yi's body, shimmering with an eerie scarlet light.

The bead struck the woman in pink directly in the chest. She groaned, fell to the ground, blood trickling from her mouth, her face deathly pale.

Hou Yi's figure still stood in the swamp, his hands forming hand seals, and terrifying puppets appeared beside him.

Nine puppet figures floated around him, each several meters tall, resembling fighting machines. Each of these nine puppets was ferocious and violent.

Each puppet held an iron rod in its hand, on which burned ghostly flames that transformed into ghostly dragons.

The Ghostly Axe!

There were nine in total, nine enormous battle axes.

Just then, a majestic voice resounded deep within Houyi's mind, followed by a blurry image appearing in his mind.

"Houyi, you have finally comprehended the Nine Absolute Heavenly Axe Technique."

"I have finally comprehended the Nine Absolute Heavenly Axe Technique!"

Upon hearing this voice, Hou Yi couldn't help but laugh wildly, "Hou Yi, congratulations on comprehending the Nine Absolute Heavenly Axe Technique!" As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the woman in pink.

"Houyi!" The woman in pink stared at Houyi, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "Hand over the antidote, or you won't live!"

Hou Yi burst into another fit of wild laughter upon hearing this. He stared sharply at the woman in pink and said, "I told you, I will make you wish you were dead." As soon as he finished speaking, a long spear appeared in his hand.

The spear was entirely black, covered with dense patterns.

This long spear is none other than the Nine Netherworld Demon Halberd.

This is the weapon used by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor when he roamed the mortal world. Legend has it that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor once used this halberd to kill a god.

The Nine Netherworld Demon Halberd contains terrifying divine power. It is a divine weapon personally forged by an unparalleled god-king, and its power is incomparably strong.

Even in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it was an extremely rare divine weapon. It was precisely because it was so precious that it attracted the covetousness of others, which ultimately led to its owner being besieged and killed.

At this moment, Shi Ji stepped down from the void. He looked at the Nine Nether Demon Halberd in Hou Yi's hand, and his eyes changed slightly.

"You have indeed comprehended the Nine Absolute Heavenly Axe Technique, and have actually cultivated it to this level." Shi Ji said quietly, looking at Hou Yi.

"Shi Ji!" Hou Yi's eyes were gloomy, he gripped the Nine Nether Demon Halberd, and a strong fighting spirit rose from his body, as if he was ready to make a move at any moment.

"Do you think I don't know?" Shi Ji said, looking at Hou Yi's figure. "Hou Yi, you are not worthy to be the young master of the Hou Yi family. I can only say that this family has already fallen."

"You bastard, Shi Ji, you're asking for death!"

The moment Shi Ji finished speaking, the Nine Nether Demon Halberd in Hou Yi's hand burst forth with a dazzling dark light. The dark light illuminated the sky like thunder. At this moment, the Nine Nether Demon Halberd seemed to be completely revived, and a vast and powerful force swept over.

The sound of a blade rang out as the demonic halberd ripped through the void, aiming straight for Shi Ji's throat with incredible speed; even a powerful expert at the Divine Ability level would have no chance of dodging it.

This strike was like a meteor streaking across the sky, carrying a sharpness that was impossible to dodge.

Shi Ji swung her right fist, directly clashing with the long spear. The two collided, producing a violent roar.

Amidst the violent impact, the Nine Nether Demon Halberd slipped from Hou Yi's control and plunged into the depths of the swamp. Hou Yi's face turned deathly pale, and blood continuously gushed from his mouth and nose.

Hou Yi spat out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, his figure swaying precariously, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at Shi Ji, wishing he could kill him with a single blow.

"You are now my prisoner." Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at Hou Yi and said, "If it weren't for the merits your Hou Yi family has accumulated, why would I have spared your life?"

"Shiji, you're ruthless. What exactly do you want?" Houyi asked through gritted teeth.

“It’s simple. Tell me why you’re pursuing my father’s belongings,” Shi Ji said calmly, her hands behind her back. “You should know my father…”

“Of course I know your father,” Tai Shi Shang said. “Your father once roamed the three thousand realms, his power shook the world, and he was known as the Demon Lord.”

"The Demon Lord?" Shi Ji looked puzzled. "He's still alive?"

“Of course he’s alive, he’s just hiding very well. I not only know your father, but I also know something about his son.” Tai Shi Shang continued, gazing at Shi Ji’s remains.

Shi Ji slowly walked towards Tai Shi Shang's corpse.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Tai Shi Shang immediately became alert, a terrifying defensive shield rose around him, and he took a step back. Many figures appeared on the distant horizon.

One after another, spaceships arrived, their flags bearing the words "Taishi".

Taishi Shang was the ancestor of the Taishi family.

At this moment, Taishi Shang's face was deathly pale, and he was emanating a terrifying aura. His eyes were fixed on Shi Ji, and his aura was growing stronger.

He did not give up the fight, because there were seventeen or eighteen powerful figures standing behind him, some of whom were even at the half-step Nirvana level.

"What is my father's name?" Shi Ji asked, frowning.

"Your father's name is Lin Ao. He is one of the leaders of the three ancient sects of the Northern Desert. He is extremely powerful and reached the second level of Nirvana three hundred years ago. Now, we don't know where he is in seclusion. His wife, who is my sister, has long since disappeared," Tai Shi Shang sighed.

"My sister?" Shi Ji's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, her eyes sharp as knives.

“That’s right, my sister’s name is Taishi Hanyan.” Taishi Shang said to Shiji, “She, like me, possesses innate divine veins.”

"I see, I understand now," Shi Ji nodded.

“Shiji, you don’t need to ask anymore.” Taishi Shang suddenly looked at Shiji and said, “My sister has already passed away.”

"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that?" Shi Ji's expression shifted between light and dark. "Tell me, where exactly is she?"

"Don't force me, or you'll never get an answer!" Tai Shi Shang's tone was icy. "Shi Ji, you don't understand the Tai Shi family at all. Although our Tai Shi family has declined, it is still a first-rate power. My father is a divine general in the God Realm, and my mother is also a renowned divine general in the God Realm!"

"Oh, a divine general?" Shi Ji was slightly surprised to hear this. Tai Shi Shang was actually a direct descendant of a powerful force in the divine realm.

This relieved him.

“Shiji, you have no doubt that my father is indeed a divine general.” Taishi Shang stared at Shiji coldly and said, “And you probably already know who your parents are. I advise you not to take action, otherwise the entire situation of the three northern provinces will change.”

Shi Ji remained silent upon hearing this.

“My father has become an immortal. He secluded himself in a mysterious place for 30,000 years. During those 30,000 years, his primordial spirit condensed into a primordial spirit relic, and you also possess a primordial spirit relic,” Tai Shi Shang continued.

"I don't need any of your family's treasures, as long as you hand over the primordial spirit relic," Shi Ji said with a smile, looking at Tai Shi Shang.

Upon hearing this, Taishi Shang's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

"Shi Ji, don't push your luck!" Tai Shi Shang roared. Shi Ji laughed loudly, "Tai Shi Shang, how dare a piece of trash like you threaten me?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Taishi Shang by the neck, throwing his body into the void. Then he opened his mouth and swallowed Taishi Shang's blood, absorbing its essence, and his primordial spirit power was continuously replenished.

Over the years, his primordial spirit has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Divine Path, and he is not far from the seventh level of the Divine Path.

Taishi Shang roared to the sky and struggled frantically. His primordial spirit transformed into a ball of flame in an attempt to escape, but was easily suppressed by Shiji.

Finally, the flame exploded, and Taishi Shang's primordial spirit was completely annihilated. His body fell into the void, and a crystal bead appeared deep within his dantian.

This bead is his natal soul treasure, formed from a divine stone, containing the powerful life imprint of Taishi Shang.

Shi Ji grabbed the bead, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it. It instantly transformed into a surging hot current that flowed into her primordial spirit.

Shi Ji's primordial spirit chewed faster, and in less than three minutes, a powerful and profound true essence surged out of his body, turning into a rolling torrent that gathered above his head.

A terrifying vortex formed around Shi Ji, and all the spiritual energy in the area surged into his body. Not only that, his primordial spirit was also rapidly transforming, gradually turning into a small sun, radiating an aura of world-destroying power.

His aura surged to the peak of the fifth level of the Divine Path, just half a step away from the sixth level.

Shi Ji opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings before he vanished in a flash. A few seconds later, he arrived deep within the cliff and stepped into the void.

A terrifying surge of lightning erupted from the foot of the mountain stream...

Shi Ji's figure arrived at the foot of a valley and stopped outside. A destructive aura emanated from this valley, as if it contained terrifying divine thunder.

"Divine lightning! This is divine lightning!"

Shi Ji gazed at the divine thunder aura permeating the sky above the valley, a look of excitement appearing on her lips.

A deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, came from the depths of the valley. This thunderclap carried destructive power, enough to kill any expert at the Divine Power Realm, and even a Quasi-God would find it difficult to withstand.

"Good stuff, really good stuff, divine thunder!" Shi Ji murmured to herself, gazing into the depths of the valley.

As this thought surfaced in his mind, an aura of unparalleled dominance erupted from his body.

Like a spear with its sharp edge piercing the sky, his figure stepped into the depths of the valley.

Thunder rumbled and flashed deep in the valley.

Sensing the destructive aura, Shi Ji continued walking into the valley. At the end of the valley, there stood a divine tree.

This divine tree was entirely emerald green, with lush branches and leaves, radiating a dazzling divine light. Each branch and leaf was incredibly thick, bearing fruits the size of a thumb, each containing mysterious runes.

The fruit is engraved with mysterious and complex characters.

Shi Ji stared in disbelief at the divine tree. It was laden with fruit, a full one hundred and eight, radiating boundless vitality and surging energy.

Witnessing this scene, Shi Ji's tears streamed down her face.

Over the years, he had longed for his descendants and thought about how to rescue his junior sister. His junior sister was trapped in the realm of gods, and if the people of the gods hadn't refused to come out, they might have rescued her long ago.

Over the years, Shiji has also tried various methods.

However, the realm of gods is too vast, and he does not understand the laws of space. Even if he traverses the realm of gods, he will find it difficult to cross the vast distances of time and space.

"Divine Thunder Fruit, Divine Thunder Tree!"

Shi Ji gazed at the Divine Thunder Fruit before her and murmured, "This is a godsend. My descendant, you must hold on. I believe you are still alive."

Shi Ji waved his hand, plucking all one hundred and eight Divine Thunder Fruits and putting them into a bottle before turning and leaving. Soon he arrived beside Tai Shi Shang's corpse.

"Tai Shi Shang, I'm sorry," Shi Ji said, looking down at Tai Shi Shang's corpse.

Tai Shi Shang's primordial spirit had long since perished, leaving only a shell. Shi Ji took out a bronze coffin, opened it, and placed Tai Shi Shang's body inside.

Shi Ji gazed at the coffin and said, "Don't worry, I will ensure you rest in peace after death. Tai Shi Shang, you never dreamed this, did you? My cultivation speed is a thousand times, ten thousand times faster than you imagined!"

Shi Ji formed hand seals and unleashed a Demon Burial Incantation from the Burial Magic Technique. This Demon Burial Incantation was a divine skill; once mastered, it could annihilate the soul and body of a powerful enemy.

The Demon Burial Incantation was activated.

Golden rays of light flowed into Taishi Shang's corpse. Suddenly, Taishi Shang's corpse trembled, and the blood within his body began to boil, with symbols intertwining in the void.

A turbulent wave surged from Taishi Shang's corpse, growing increasingly terrifying and violent.

Suddenly, a hazy figure appeared inside Taishi Shang's corpse.

"You've finally arrived."

Tai Shi Shang's hazy figure stood in the void, his sharp gaze fixed on Shi Ji: "How did you break into the God Realm? How did you manage to get here?"

"Are you a puppet of the God-King level?" Shi Ji asked, gazing at the hazy figure.

You know too much.

Tai Shi Shang stood with his hands behind his back and said arrogantly, "Since you've come, let me tell you, I haven't perished. I've only been reborn through a special means of possession."

Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the void, and said with a smile, "It seems you are also a person with a story. However, you must perish today. You wanted to seize my primordial spirit, but instead, I have taken your body."

"You bastard!" Tai Shi Shang roared in fury. "Don't be so arrogant! You lowly ant, die!"

With a single palm strike, the void collapsed, the world lost its color, and a terrifying current swept across the eight directions and six realms.

Shi Ji wore a cold smile, his figure unhurried. He suddenly waved his sleeve, and a jet-black light surged from his wrist, while an even more terrifying devouring power spread out from his sleeve.

"Ah, how do you possess the power to devour primordial spirits?"

A scream echoed from the void, and a blurry, illusory figure was enveloped by a mysterious and unpredictable power.

The illusory figure was furious and struggled frantically, trying to escape the devouring force, but how could it break free? In an instant, it was swallowed up by this strange devouring power.

Vanish into nothing.

As Taishi Shang's primordial spirit was devoured, tiny fragments of his essence condensed in the void.

These fragments of essence shot into the sky.

Just as those fragments of essence were rising into the sky, they suddenly changed direction and entered the fragments of Taishi Shang's primordial spirit... (End of this chapter)
