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

A cold smile curved Shi Ji's lips: "Does my son need you?" Before he finished speaking, he threw a punch, and the flames of destruction burned away.

This punch directly shattered the remaining essence of the Underworld King in the void.

At the moment of Purgatory Underworld King's death, what Shi Ji felt most deeply was not how much her own strength had increased, but rather the complete familiarity with everything. She knew that this was a sensation manifested from the remnants of Purgatory Underworld King's essence.

His figure disappeared into the depths of the starry ocean.

One by one, the Nine Nether Demon Trees rose up, unleashing a boundless, bewitching crimson light. The crimson light soared into the sky, and the area was filled with destructive power fluctuations.

Shi Ji arrived at this space and reached out to press down on a branch of a Nine Nether Demon Tree. He planted this Nine Nether Demon Tree into the Starry Ocean, and then planted another one.

"Clang clang!" One after another, branches of the Nine Nether Demon Tree flew out from the sky.

A new Nine Nether Demon Tree appeared in the void, with many Nine Nether Demon Fruits growing on each branch.

The Nine Nether Demon Tree swayed its branches, its leaves scattering into the sea below. Instantly, many black fruits appeared in the vast sea, emitting an astonishing medicinal fragrance.

One by one, the Nine Nether Demon Fruits were picked and thrown into the sea.

The moment the Nine Nether Demon Fruit entered the water, towering waves surged across the sea. Countless fish scrambled for it, and a fierce battle ensued. This massive struggle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before gradually subsiding.

Shi Ji watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction. He suddenly felt a vast amount of life essence seep into his body.

His cultivation level broke through again, reaching the peak of the Spirit Realm.

He was just one step away from becoming the Holy Emperor.

"Good heavens, you actually managed to refine it." Shi Ji looked at the Underworld King of Purgatory. "Underworld King of Purgatory, I'll give you a chance. Kneel on the ground and submit."

"Hmph, junior, don't even think about it!" The King of Purgatory sneered.

"You think I really can't do anything to you?" Shi Ji said, looking at the corpse of the Underworld King.

"Try it if you don't believe me!" The corpse of the Underworld King stared coldly at Shi Ji.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me." Shi Ji's eyes were sharp.

Upon seeing this, the Evil God Emperor hurriedly stopped him: "If you dare to make a move, I will kill you at all costs!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Hell threw his head back and laughed wildly, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Young man, have you forgotten who rules this world?"

"If you kill him, I will kill you in return," the sinister voice of the Evil God Emperor rang out.

"Shi Ji, if you dare touch him, I guarantee you won't live past tomorrow night," the Underworld King said coldly, staring at Shi Ji.

"You're forcing me. Fine, very well!" Upon hearing the words of the Underworld King, Shi Ji suddenly revealed a strange smile.

With a wave of his sleeve, Shi Ji unleashed a powerful suction force that pulled out the corpses of the Evil God Emperor and the Underworld King. A gourd appeared in his hand, from which raging flames erupted.

The flames burned, continuously refining the corpses of the Evil God Emperor and the Underworld King. Soon after, their bodies turned to ashes.

As the two corpses turned to ashes, a powerful primal force surged into Shi Ji's mind. Instantly, Shi Ji's cultivation level skyrocketed, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels of the Divine Path, and finally reached the ninth level.

He directly stepped into the realm of a half-step saint.

Shi Ji laughed loudly: "Finally, I have stepped into this realm!" His figure stood proudly in the void, his gaze gazing deeply at the sea of ​​stars in front of him.

At the edge of the starry ocean, there is still a dark galaxy, but within that dark galaxy, the Nine Nether Demon Fruit was born.

The Nine Nether Demon Fruit on this Nine Nether Demon Tree is extremely rare.

Shi Ji stepped forward, reached out her large hand, and grabbed a Nine Nether Demon Fruit.

However, the Nine Nether Demon Fruit struggled to escape.

"Clang clang!" Just as this Nine Nether Demon Fruit dodged, one after another, Nine Nether Demon Fruits also dodged.

Shi Ji couldn't help but frown.

These Nine Nether Demon Fruits contain powerful life essence, and the life essence within them is extremely pure, even several times purer than Shi Ji's primordial spirit.

"Good stuff." Shi Ji gazed into the void: "The Divine Swords of the Heavens, can you handle them?"

"No, this thing is too fast, and my attack power is also limited." The voice of the Evil God Emperor came.

"Alright, we can't force it." Shi Ji looked quietly at the Nine Nether Demon Tree: "However, I like life like yours."

As she spoke, Shi Ji stretched out her large hand, her palm grabbing at the Nine Nether Demon Tree with lightning speed.

The Nine Nether Demon Tree trembled violently, its branches sweeping towards Shi Ji's claws, while many twigs entangled his large hand.

"You're asking for it!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Ji's face turned cold. His hand trembled violently, and the Nine Nether Demon Fruits on the Nine Nether Demon Tree fell off one after another, crashing towards his large hand like meteors.

His large hand directly grasped the Nine Nether Demon Fruits, which smashed into his palm and then turned into powder, merging into his body.

One by one, the Nine Nether Demon Fruits were devoured by Shi Ji, and with each devouring, a violent fluctuation of energy erupted from his body.

That aura was as vast as a boundless ocean.

Then this ocean of stars became chaotic and hazy, with countless chaotic forces intertwining and converging to form a chaotic sea, and hidden deep within the chaotic sea was a huge chaotic cauldron.

Ancient runes appeared on the Chaos Cauldron.

Shi Ji roared to the sky, a roar that shattered the heavens. A domineering aura surged from his body, sweeping across the world.

His cultivation became more stable, and he condensed an incomparably powerful Chaos Divine Law within his body. This Chaos Divine Law was extremely domineering and invincible. Once unleashed, it was enough to destroy an entire galaxy. Even when facing a true saint, Shi Ji could contend with it and hold out for a period of time.

He exuded an overwhelming aura as he strode toward the Nine Nether Demon Tree.

Nine branches of the Nine Nether Demon Tree stretched out and struck Shi Ji directly, sending him flying. His figure crashed into a distant island.

Three times in a row, the rock slammed violently onto the island, shattering it into pieces and sending rocks flying through the air.

Shi Ji roared to the sky. He stood up, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face deathly pale, but his eyes grew sharper and sharper.

Shi Ji stood with his hands behind his back, stepped into the air and walked towards the Nine Nether Demon Tree in the void. When he arrived in front of the demon tree, his right hand directly grabbed the Nine Nether Demon Tree.

At that very moment, dense branches and leaves appeared on the Nine Nether Demon Tree. These branches and leaves, like blades, covered the sky and the void with destructive air currents, directly slashing towards Shi Ji's arm at an astonishing speed.

A series of metallic clanging sounds echoed through the void. Shi Ji's arm was as hard as iron, and no matter how the branches and leaves slashed at him, they could not harm him in the slightest. Another crisp clanging sound exploded, and Shi Ji directly crushed the trunk of the Nine Nether Demon Tree. With a slight exertion of his fingers, a cracking sound came from the Nine Nether Demon Tree, and a towering tree collapsed in the void with a crash.

The Nine Nether Demon Tree was covered with crystal-clear Nine Nether Demon Fruits.

Each Nine Nether Demon Fruit contains boundless life essence and emits an astonishing medicinal fragrance that soars straight into the sky.

Just as these Nine Nether Demon Fruits flew toward Shiji, a terrifying storm of power suddenly swept through the void.

A black hole slowly rose, directly covering an area of ​​100 meters in radius, and taking all the Nine Nether Demon Fruits into it.

Shi Ji's figure stood in the void, gazing at the black hole.

A face emerged from the black hole, a face with a ferocious expression, none other than the evil Demon Emperor.

"Evil Demon Emperor!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly as he looked at the face of the evil demon emperor. He hadn't expected this guy to be hiding in this void. His actions just now hadn't escaped the man's senses at all.

However, Shi Ji was not afraid; instead, she looked at the evil demon emperor with great interest.

The evil Demon Emperor stared at Shi Ji, his tone chilling: "You dare to trespass into this starry sky? You're truly courting death."

"Oh, I only want to find the Nine Nether Demon Tree. If you know what's good for you, leave now." Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the evil Demon Emperor with an indifferent tone.

"Hmph!" The evil Demon Emperor sneered, "Boy, how dare you covet my treasure? You're asking for trouble! Today, I, the Demon Emperor, will send you on your way!"

Before he could finish speaking, the evil demon emperor threw a punch that slammed into Shi Ji.

A vast and dark aura filled the void, and the figure of the evil demon emperor transformed into a tall and majestic demon, smashing a fist with destructive power into Shi Ji's chest.

Shi Ji met the attack with a palm strike, and the two palms collided fiercely. The evil demon emperor staggered back a few steps, a look of surprise on his lips. He hadn't expected Shi Ji's cultivation to improve so quickly.

"Evil Demon Emperor, I wonder what trump cards you still have?" Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the Evil Demon Emperor.

The evil Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back: "You actually forced me to use my strongest move, Shi Ji. I hope you won't fail." As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding demonic light rose from his body.

A jet-black magic spear suddenly appeared.

The demonic spear was covered with mysterious patterns and carried a terrifying demonic aura.

In that instant, eight more jet-black demonic spears appeared in mid-air. Each of these eight spears was ten thousand feet in size, and their demonic energy soared into the sky.

Eight demonic spears, carrying an aura of unparalleled terror, locked onto Shi Ji.

"Eight demonic weapons!" Shi Ji looked at the demonic weapons that the evil demon emperor had taken out, her eyes burning with desire.

The evil Demon Emperor laughed wildly: "What? You want to seize my demonic weapons? Let me tell you, it's too late! These eight demonic weapons were forged by me at a great cost."

“Indeed, I’m lacking a suitable weapon.” Shi Ji looked at the demonic spears and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for nothing.”

"Such arrogance! Do you even deserve to possess my demonic weapon?" The evil demon emperor said proudly, his hands behind his back. "My demonic weapon is called the Nine Nether Demonic Dragon Spear, and its power is boundless."

"Alright, enough nonsense." Shi Ji looked at the evil demon emperor and laughed, "If you can block one of my swords, I will give you all eight demon weapons; if you can't, then I will take these eight demon weapons away."

"Shi Ji, how could I possibly fear you?" The evil Demon Emperor sneered, "You think you're truly my match?"

"Enough with the nonsense," Shi Ji said coldly, her hands behind her back. "Let's get started."

As Shi Ji's voice faded, a surge of Taihuang Continent energy erupted from his body. That energy was terrifying beyond compare, and a blazing sun and a silver moon appeared behind him.

"The sun and moon shine together!"

Shi Ji's icy voice came out, and a terrifying will erupted from his body, directly crushing the evil demon emperor.

This was Shi Ji's willpower, directly crushing the evil Demon Emperor, while his figure pounced forward like lightning.

The evil demon emperor's face immediately contorted with rage, and he let out a furious growl. Brilliant demonic light erupted from his body as his primordial spirit and physical form merged together.

The evil demon emperor's primordial spirit and physical body trembled as he brandished the demonic dragon spear, sending a flurry of afterimages sweeping towards Shi Ji's figure.

The aura of those demonic spear afterimages grew stronger and stronger, crashing towards Shiji with earth-shattering power.

A violent collision rang out as the Evil Demon Emperor's attack was shattered by Shi Ji's fist. Shi Ji's foot remained firmly planted on the branch of the Nine Nether Demon Tree, and a devastating power surge erupted from her body.

Shi Ji's fist was like a tiger unleashed from the mountain.

The evil demon emperor's face turned deathly pale, and a blood-red bone club suddenly emerged from his neck.

That blood-red bone club was incredibly eerie, resembling a spine. It was scarlet like blood, emitting a bewitching red light, and exuding extreme malevolence.

The blood-red bone club slammed into Shi Ji's fist, creating a deafening impact. The strike unleashed a terrifying shockwave that tore the surrounding void to shreds, forcing both of them to retreat.

"Nine Netherworld Divine Staff!"

Shi Ji steadied himself, his eyes sharp, and stared at the blood-red staff floating in the void for a moment, pondering. This thing was somewhat similar to the weapon held by the Underworld Emperor, one of the three emperors of the God Realm, whom he had seen.

The only difference is that this blood-red rod is engraved with many ancient characters.

The figure of the evil Demon Emperor walked up, laughing wildly to the sky. His figure was like a ghost, and he swept out the Demon Dragon Spear in his hand, instantly forming a huge demon dragon in the void.

The demonic dragon was incredibly lifelike, exuding an aura of destruction.

The dragon roared to the sky, its body stretching across the heavens as it hurtled towards the rocky shore.

A bright smile appeared on Shi Ji's face: "So all you can do is use the treasures left behind by your ancestors." As he spoke, he stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching this scene.

Just as the demonic dragon approached within a few meters of Shi Ji, billowing black smoke emerged around him, from which countless runes shot out, each containing earth-shattering power, spreading across the sky and covering the earth.

A deafening explosion rang out, and the demonic dragon was instantly blasted to pieces by these runes, vanishing into nothingness.

"Such powerful magic! You actually cultivated a Buddhist relic!" The evil demon emperor stared at Shi Ji with a chilling look in his eyes.

“That’s right, it is the relic!” Shi Ji stared indifferently at the evil demon emperor in the void. “Evil demon emperor, today I will make you die here!” As he spoke, he reached out again to grab the Nine Netherworld Divine Staff in the void, trying to take it into his hand.

How could the evil Demon Emperor tolerate Shi Ji's success?
His figure suddenly took a step forward, and the Demon Dragon Spear in his hand swept out, aiming straight for Shi Ji's chest.

"Hmph!" Shi Ji snorted coldly, her figure remaining motionless as the demonic dragon spear pierced her heart.

The demonic spear pierced straight through Shi Ji's shoulder, drawing blood. But strangely, nothing happened—the blood didn't flow from Shi Ji's wound. (End of Chapter)
