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

"Don't worry, I will be your slave, and I will help you rule over many lands."

The Evil God Emperor knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "I will also teach you some things. You don't need to worry about your martial arts resources being used up; I will impart all my knowledge to you. I can also tell you many secrets of the divine realm."

"Are you really willing to submit to me?" Shi Ji seemed somewhat moved upon hearing this.

“Of course, I am willing to submit to you.” The Evil God Emperor nodded hastily. “Although my current realm has fallen, my wisdom still remains. I can teach you everything.”

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by your sovereign?" Shi Ji asked, looking at the Evil God Emperor.

"I believe the Sovereign will not blame me," the Evil God Emperor shook his head and said, "because you are more worthy of cultivation."

"You certainly know how to scheme," Shi Ji said indifferently. "I won't search your soul memories."

"Thank you, Master!" The Evil God Emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this. He stood up and looked at Shi Ji, saying, "Master, you don't need to worry about your martial arts resources."

“Alright, in that case, you should refine the bronze coffin first,” Shi Ji said quietly.

"Master!" Upon hearing this, the Evil God Emperor hesitated slightly before sitting cross-legged in the void. A vortex appeared between his brows, and a mark shot out, entering the bronze divine coffin.

The bronze coffin gradually returned to normal, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

Lin Yu's voice echoed deep within Shi Ji's mind.

“I understand what you’re trying to say,” Shi Ji said. “Don’t worry, I’ve already taken good care of your parents.”

"I just hope you can come back alive." Lin Yu's voice was filled with sorrow and determination.

"I promise you." Shi Ji laughed heartily, "Just wait for me. When I return, I will personally ascend to the realm of gods."

"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Yu's voice rang in Shi Ji's ear. "You must be careful. Don't reveal my identity unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if we attract even stronger individuals, we might not be able to escape."

"I understand," Shi Ji said solemnly. "I will be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji's figure gradually stepped into the void and disappeared without a trace.

The figure of the Evil God Emperor sat cross-legged in the void, silently cultivating. A vast and surging aura emanated from him, approaching the Yin-Yang Realm, but it quickly subsided.

"Shi Ji, you actually didn't kill me. Your strength is indeed impressive." The Evil God Emperor stepped forward and stared at Shi Ji's figure.

"If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as turning my hand. Why would I need to rely on external means?" Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at the Evil God Emperor with arrogance. "The reason I spared your life just now was not because I was afraid of the Divine Court, but because I disdained to compete with lowly beings like you for treasures."

As she spoke, Shi Ji stretched out her finger, and a strange flame appeared at her fingertip.

This wisp of flame was the very flame that had previously burned the Evil God Emperor. Shi Ji absorbed it into her body, and then threw out several crystal-clear divine tablets, which flew into the distant void.

He then threw out several more divine talismans, which exploded and transformed into countless stars. The stars enveloped the Evil God Emperor, and the skeleton immediately fell into a deep sleep.

This skeleton is the primordial spirit of the Evil God Emperor.

Shi Ji's figure pierced through the void and arrived above the Northern Desert. He looked down at the land and muttered to himself, "Today I will nip this in the bud to prevent future troubles."

He threw a punch, carrying devastating force as it slammed into the massive skeleton. The skeleton erupted with a dazzling light, which grew increasingly brilliant, like a burning lamp flame, before exploding with a bang.

Instantly, a thick, bloody aura filled the void.

A wild laugh rang out: "Shi Ji, you think it's that easy to kill me!" The voice belonged to the Evil God Emperor, but at this moment, the Evil God Emperor was exuding a terrifying aura, an aura that was extremely frightening.

"how is this possible?"

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically. He retreated several hundred meters and suddenly turned to another area—the core of the Northern Desert. His eyes were sharp as lightning as he stared intently at the void ahead.

Suddenly, a crimson light appeared in the void, as red as blood. Floating within the blood was a crimson divine coffin, and above the coffin appeared the figure of the Evil God Emperor.

At this moment, the Evil God Emperor was covered in blood mist, his head was ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes were staring at Shi Ji with a fierce, bloodthirsty, and resentful look.

Shi Ji sensed the blood-red divine coffin and noticed a faint aura emanating from it, an aura that made his primordial spirit tremble.

His expression shifted between light and dark.

"Don't be nervous, this is my primordial spirit. You don't need to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you." The Evil God Emperor suddenly laughed loudly, and his figure came to Shi Ji.

“I know.” Shi Ji looked at the Evil God Emperor. “I also sensed the aura of that big shot from your primordial spirit.”

“Indeed, I noticed it too. His name is Xue Youming.” The Evil God Emperor explained to Shi Ji, “He is a renowned peerless master in the God Realm, and our ancestors once received his favor.”

He bestowed upon us a treasure called the Xuanhuang Blood Jade Divine Coffin, a near-divine artifact.

Upon hearing these words, Shi Ji's face turned ashen.

"He was indeed very powerful; even in the entire Taihuang Continent, he probably couldn't find a match. However, he was ambushed and ultimately perished. On his deathbed, he gifted me the Xuanhuang Blood Jade Divine Coffin. This Xuanhuang Blood Jade Divine Coffin possesses extreme speed," the Evil God Emperor continued.

"Aren't you afraid I'll steal it?" Shi Ji asked the Evil God Emperor.

“You can’t take it away.” The Evil God Emperor laughed loudly. “You are only at the seventh level of Nirvana now, and you are still a long way from the eighth level.”

“I am no match for you now, but my cultivation is improving rapidly.” Shi Ji stared at the Evil God Emperor. “Your strength is probably too much for you to handle.”

"If we don't try, who knows what will happen?" the Evil God Emperor said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just want to use your body; it's enough to support my growth."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji laughed loudly, "Very well, since that's the case, I will grant your wish!"

Before the words were even finished, Shi Ji's figure suddenly shot out. His body was like a shooting star, crashing heavily into the figure of the Evil God Emperor. In that instant, his aura surged, like a raging ocean sweeping across the heavens and the earth. His fist slammed into the Evil God Emperor's chest.

"Unbelievable!"

The Evil God Emperor's eyelids twitched incessantly as he watched Shi Ji's attack. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and with a violent flick of his sleeve, a black spear flew out.

This spear was as black as ink, like the fangs of a demon god, and incomparably sharp.

The black spear gleamed with an eerie light, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, and thrust straight at Shi Ji's fist. In an instant, the two collided, unleashing a violent explosion that shattered the void.

Shi Ji remained motionless, but his right sleeve was torn, and blood seeped out.

"Pathetic!" The Evil God Emperor couldn't help but laugh wildly, then stepped forward and slapped Shi Ji squarely on the shoulder.

Shi Ji staggered back three steps, a trickle of crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes flashed with cold light as he stared at the Evil God Emperor and said, "Evil God Emperor, don't challenge my bottom line."

"You still don't dare to admit it?" The Evil God Emperor looked at Shi Ji. "I truly pity you. You don't even have the courage to admit it. I have taken control of your wife, and I have read all her memories."

"Bastard!" Shi Ji roared in fury, "I'll kill you!"

“I know. Once you venture deep into the Northern Desert, you will undoubtedly encounter various dangers. I don’t believe you aren’t worried about your daughter.” The figure of the Evil God Emperor stood in the void, hands behind his back. “You should believe my words.”

“No, I will indeed consider your suggestion. Because my family and friends are all in this world, and my fate is already tied to theirs,” Shi Ji said through gritted teeth. “But I will never allow you to threaten me!”

Upon hearing this, the Evil God Emperor laughed wildly, "Shi Ji, you still don't understand. Let me tell you, your daughter won't live much longer because your primordial spirit is merging too slowly."

"If you want to save your daughter, there is only one way—hand over the primordial spirit imprint," the Evil God Emperor laughed. "If you agree, I guarantee you will leave safely."

I truly don't want to hurt you. While I desire your corpse, I desire even more to keep you as my puppet.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji laughed wildly, "Evil God Emperor, I think you've chosen the wrong target. I will not hand over the Primordial Spirit Imprint."

"Is that so?" The Evil God Emperor's gaze was icy cold. He walked towards Shi Ji, and a powerful aura rose up. The void around him collapsed, transforming into a whirlwind that devoured everything, completely enveloping the area.

As the whirlwind expanded, Shi Ji felt the surrounding space solidify. He felt as if he had fallen into a swamp, and his figure gradually became out of control, as if he were being pulled by a strange force.

"Hmph, brat, you're far from being able to fight me." The voice of the Evil God Emperor rang out. "My realm is at the Great Sage level; compared to me, you are like an ant compared to an elephant. You are destined to be my servant!"

Just then, an incomparably powerful aura surged from Shi Ji's body. That aura was vast and boundless, like the arrival of the heavens and the earth, engulfing the world. These currents of energy contained the power to suppress the universe.

Similarly, his primordial spirit became even more powerful.

A powerful surge of primordial spirit energy spread out, imprisoning the surrounding space, and the space returned to calm once more.

"Not good, a primordial spirit imprint!"

The Evil God Emperor's face turned deathly pale, his eyes scanning his surroundings in panic. He tried to tear through space to escape, but it was too late.

"Evil God Emperor, you cannot escape." Shi Ji's tone was icy. "Your path of cultivation ends here. I will devour your essence, energy, and spirit!"

The Evil God Emperor roared in fury: "Shi Ji, you cannot break your promise! Otherwise, your daughter will not live either!"

“My daughter is my Achilles’ heel, how could I tolerate your desecration?” Shi Ji laughed loudly, “But I can show you my true trump card.”

As he spoke, his figure flickered and disappeared.

The Evil God Emperor was furious at the sight: "You bastard, I will make sure you die a horrible death!" He pointed his finger.

A single finger carried terrifying power, containing boundless laws. That finger tore through the void, piercing through space like an arrow, instantly causing space to collapse.

With a whoosh, Shi Ji's figure appeared in the void. At this moment, Shi Ji stood motionless like a stone sculpture.

A crimson rune floated out from between Shi Ji's eyebrows. The crimson rune emitted a rich fluctuation of life essence.

The Evil God Emperor's expression changed slightly: "The origin of life! As expected of the ruler of the Great Luo Immortal Realm."

As he spoke, the Evil God Emperor reached out and grabbed at the drop of blood. Just as his hand was about to touch the blood, a flame suddenly burst forth.

The Evil God Emperor's screams rang out—that wisp of flame was none other than the Southern Ming Fire.

"I was wrong..." The figure of the Evil God Emperor struggled frantically, but no matter what methods he used, he could not get rid of the entanglement of this flame.

"Where did you go wrong?" Shi Ji's calm voice rang out as he slowly approached the Evil God Emperor.

"I shouldn't have used your daughter's life to threaten you," the Evil God Emperor replied respectfully, gazing at Shi Ji's figure.

“That’s more like human speech.” Shi Ji laughed loudly upon hearing this: “Evil God Emperor, you are destined to perish here today.”

"I am willing to sign a contract and submit to you forever!" the Evil God Emperor hurriedly said upon hearing this.

"Where is your sincerity?" Shi Ji sneered.

“My soul imprint has been given to your father, and he will break the seal.” The Evil God Emperor lowered his voice: “We can establish a master-servant relationship. Once the master-servant relationship is established, you can command me to serve you.”

As he spoke, the Evil God Emperor turned around and walked straight to the altar not far away. He knelt on one knee, reached out and took out a key, and unlocked the chains on the altar.

The altar trembled, and a man three meters tall, entirely black, dressed in a black robe, appeared. The man was surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy, and his eyes were sinister, sharp as swords, staring at Shi Ji like the eyes of a venomous snake.

He was tall and imposing, holding a long spear with an extremely sharp tip.

The man in black robes spoke in human language, and a cloud of blood mist emerged from his throat. Then, a dark vortex shot out, which was several meters in size and was none other than the Hellfire Netherworld Spear.

The Hellfire Spear emanated a world-destroying power.

"Shi Ji, how dare you break your oath!" the black-robed man roared, staring at Shi Ji.

"King of the Underworld, you schemed against me, and you still expect me to keep this so-called oath?" Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, walked forward leisurely, and exuded a terrifying aura.

He was like a sun, radiating dazzling light that illuminated the void, and his figure appeared before the King of Purgatory.

The man in black robes stared at Shi Ji's figure with resentment.

"King of the Underworld, I advise you to convert to my side, and I will give you a chance to live." Shi Ji looked at the figure of the King of the Underworld, her tone indifferent.

"Convert to you? Don't even think about it. Even death cannot subdue me." The cold voice of the Underworld King echoed through the heavens: "Today I will drink your blood!" Before he finished speaking, the spear pierced Shi Ji's chest.

Shi Ji stood still, without moving an inch.

At that very moment, Shi Ji gently raised his hand, his five fingers gripping the spear of the Underworld King. His palm was like a divine weapon, directly clamping down on the spearhead of the Underworld King.

"How is that possible?" (End of Chapter)
