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

A powerful surge of primordial energy rose from Shi Ji's dantian. This boundless power, like a vast ocean, surged wildly towards the evil demon emperor.

The evil demon emperor's expression changed slightly. He felt a powerful and fierce force sweeping towards him. This force was enough to destroy everything in its path and even his soul.

He hastily withdrew his attack, his figure retreating like lightning, while simultaneously throwing the Nine Netherworld Divine Staff in his hand into the distant void.

A soft whistle echoed through the air, and the Nine Netherworld Divine Staff, carrying overwhelming malevolent energy, vanished without a trace, disappearing into the void.

Shi Ji's figure also retreated dozens of feet away, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.

"As expected of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, his reputation is well-deserved." Shi Ji wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at the evil Demon Emperor with a gloomy expression.

"You little beast, you are formidable, I admit. But in terms of true strength, you are far inferior to me. You're lucky today; the next time you meet me, it will be your death day," the Evil Demon Emperor said coldly, staring at Shi Ji.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked away.

Shi Ji stood proudly in the void, her cold gaze fixed on the back of the evil demon emperor. Just as he was about to make his move, Kawashima Luo Ying's voice echoed in his mind: "Shi Ji, don't chase after him."

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji asked in confusion. He knew that since Kawashima Luoying woke up, she had grasped a trace of the mysteries of reincarnation and should be able to deduce something.

“This guy’s cultivation is extremely powerful. Although he was injured just now, his physical body is incomparably strong, and our strength is no match for him,” Kawashima Luoying explained earnestly. “It’s not advisable to fight him head-on now, otherwise you will suffer.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji nodded, staring into the void, and after a long while said, "Alright, let him go for now."

Just as Shi Ji's voice fell, a thunderous sound echoed in the distant void, causing the void to tremble violently, and the trembling sound continued.

In the depths of the distant sky, a figure as majestic as a mountain appeared. This figure was indistinct and shrouded in golden armor, holding a scepter.

The scepter is inlaid with jewels, radiating a dazzling light and giving it an aura of solemnity and grandeur.

Just then, a loud and majestic Buddhist chant resounded through the void, and a vast aura slowly rose. A dazzling and bright light descended from the sky, and within that light stood a majestic figure.

This figure was about a hundred feet tall, standing like a mountain in the void, emanating a powerful and mysterious energy.

The figure within that ray of light was none other than the phantom of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Two more majestic voices rang out, and two figures walked over. The two majestic faces were none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Shakyamuni Buddha, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?" The evil demon emperor looked at these three powerful beings, a hint of fear showing on his face.

"How dare you collude with the people of the evil realm to plot against our China!" said Samantabhadra Bodhisattva with an icy expression. "Your sins are grave."

"Deeply sinful?" The evil Demon Emperor laughed wildly upon hearing this. "Haha, I was only seeking revenge. Who told you to seal off the Demon Realm in the first place?"

“Amitabha, Demon Emperor, you are ultimately not a disciple of Buddhism. Your inner demons are too heavy, and your martial arts are not perfect enough,” said Samantabhadra Bodhisattva with his hands behind his back.

"Indeed, Demon Emperor, you should convert to Buddhism."

At this moment, Shi Ji slowly walked over, six blue lotuses appearing beneath his feet, surrounded by six blue halos.

Suddenly, a crack appeared between his brows, and a scarlet sword light pierced through the void, sharp and unparalleled, heading straight for the Demon Emperor's brow.

A sword cry resounded through the void as a beam of light, swift as lightning, slashed directly at the Evil Demon Emperor's throat. The Evil Demon Emperor slightly dodged, but even so, a bloody gash was torn open on his neck.

The evil Demon Emperor let out a painful scream as he clutched his wound, his eyes filled with venomous resentment. This young, powerful Eastern expert had actually ambushed him, and his speed was terrifyingly fast.

He didn't even have time to retaliate...

The sound of swords clashing erupted in the void, and streaks of scarlet sword light shot out from the void, each one sharp and incomparably fierce.

Seemingly capable of cleaving the entire void, the evil demon emperor's expression changed drastically as he wielded his blood moon scythe to block the crimson sword light.

Unfortunately, the crimson sword lights increased in number, and the evil demon emperor gradually could not withstand them. His expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and disappeared into the night sky.

A chilling voice echoed from the void: "Trying to escape? Too late."

Another sharp sword aura ripped through the void, this one sharp and domineering, carrying a destructive edge, slashing through the sky and crashing heavily into the Blood Moon Scythe. The Blood Moon Scythe flew away instantly, and the shape of the blood moon dimmed considerably.

The void shattered, and Shi Ji's figure emerged from it. He was clad in a black robe, and his eyes were as sharp as stars.

The moment Shi Ji's figure stepped out of the void, a tremendous roar exploded in the air. This sound was like a raging storm, carrying unparalleled power.

A vast and terrifying current of air shot straight into the sky.

Three beams of light, like comets, shot straight into the void, carrying a world-destroying aura as they crashed into Shi Ji's figure. These three beams were unleashed by the three Corpse Emperors.

Shi Ji's eyes were icy cold. He took a step forward, his hand forming a fist. The fist struck out like a divine fist, slamming heavily into the three pillars of light, shattering them instantly in the void.

Then a thunderous sound rang out, and the three Corpse Kings were sent flying backward. Their bodies crashed to the ground, spitting blood, and their auras rapidly weakened.

At that very moment, a powerful force descended from the sky, transforming into a golden river that flowed forth. Within this golden river were countless golden relics.

There were as many as three thousand relics, three thousand relics densely packed in the void. These relics burst into flames, the flames burning the void and all things in the world.

A huge vortex of relics appeared.

A series of crashing sounds rang out, the void collapsed, and Shi Ji's figure was blasted away. His body crashed in the void before landing on the ground, a bloodstain appearing on his chest.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which was pitch black and carried a strong corrosive odor. His internal organs were all damaged. It must be said that the evil demon emperor's combat power was extraordinary; even if he had cultivated the power of the primordial spirit, he would still find it difficult to match him.

"That was close, Brother Lin, how are you?" Duanmu Fengyu was terrified when he saw this scene and hurriedly came up to support Shiji.

"It's alright." Shi Ji shook her head.

At that moment, the arrogant laughter of the evil demon emperor echoed from mid-air: "You lowly reptile, let's see what you can use to resist!"

The instant his voice fell, he retreated violently, but did not continue his attack on Shi Ji. In that very moment, the temple rose into the air once more, its ancient aura overwhelming. Then, golden relics floated in the void, each containing destructive energy.

These relics struck Shi Ji, Duanmu Fengyu, and many other powerful figures like meteorites.

Shi Ji stared at the golden relics, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The Nine Dragon Mark on his body appeared, and his essence blood surged into it. Instantly, the nine dragon veins began to operate wildly, and surging true energy poured into the Nine Dragon Mark.

A brilliant divine light erupted from the void, coalescing and solidifying into a colossal figure. This colossal figure was none other than Shi Ji, who wielded the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

Seven sword cries rang out, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword rose into the air, slashing towards the golden relics.

Golden relics struck the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, creating a deafening roar. The golden relics were all flung away, but the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword remained unharmed.

Golden relics burst forth with terrifying divine light, then transformed into divine spears, carrying the momentum to pierce the void. They covered the sky and filled the void, heading straight for Shi Ji, Duanmu Fengyu, and many other masters.

Shi Ji's figure stood proudly in the sky, and her powerful magic power was poured into the Nine Dragon Mark. Instantly, the roars of the nine dragons rang out, and their bodies burst forth with overwhelming light.

These lights merged together, forming a vast ocean. From this ocean rose a gigantic flag, the very flag of the Northern Desert.

The national flag fluttered in the wind.

A figure appeared on the surface of the national flag. The figure was so lifelike that it seemed real. It was none other than Lin Yu, the King of Zhongshan.

Nine dragons roared like thunder, each carrying a divine spear in its mouth, which it hurled into the void. These spears carried an aura of world-destroying power.

Instantly, these divine spears and relics collided violently.

A series of violent explosions resounded through the void, and the relics burst open one after another, with wave after wave of luminous relics slowly rising into the air.

At that very moment, Shi Ji and Duanmu Fengyu soared into the sky, each unleashing their palm techniques to strike the golden relic in the void.

A scream rang out as a golden relic was shattered into pieces by Shi Ji and Duanmu Fengyu, exploding completely into the void. Shi Ji then seized the other relics in her hand and collected them all.

As soon as these relics entered Shi Ji's body, they were rapidly refined and transformed into a vast and pure medicinal power.

Duanmu Fengyu and Li Xuangui came to Shiji's side. Shiji nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Fengyu pointed to the wounds on Shiji's body.

Shi Ji stared at the wound and remained silent for a moment.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry you've suffered. I should have known these people wouldn't let this go," Duanmu Fengyu sighed. "I just didn't expect him to be hiding in the shadows."

“It was my oversight.” Shi Ji stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant eastern region. “But he should be here soon.” He knew that the evil demon emperor had not truly perished, and might even still be alive, otherwise the Evil God Temple could not have survived to this day.

Moreover, this evil god's temple must be destroyed.

Otherwise, it will definitely become a major threat when dealing with the demons in the future.

“That’s right, it’s not your fault,” Duanmu Fengyu explained. “These people are too cunning, and I believe you also thought they might be hiding nearby.”

"Consider this a favor I owe you." Shi Ji glanced at Duanmu Fengyu and smiled. "Let's go, let's leave here first."

Duanmu Fengyu nodded in agreement and immediately boarded the Huangquan warship with Shiji and the others to leave this void.

The moment Shi Ji stepped onto the Yellow Springs Ship, an angry roar echoed from the depths of the void. As the sound resounded, the void in that area trembled, and a man in black robes emerged. This man exuded an eerie aura, his head resembling a burning flame.

Duanmu Fengyu's face changed drastically, turning deathly pale.

Shi Ji and Duanmu Fengyu both looked up at the void.

"Remnant of the Duanmu family, I will personally send you to your death! Your Duanmu family has long been wiped out." The evil Demon Emperor coldly roared, "Today I will tear you apart!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve.

A gust of wind swept out. He stood in the void, holding a long spear in his hand, and hurled it directly at Duanmu Fengyu.

Duanmu Fengyu reacted swiftly, immediately summoning an iron rod. Crimson runes gleamed on the rod, which slammed down with earth-shattering force towards the spear. The spear and the iron rod collided.

The iron rod and spear shattered, and an overwhelming force spread out, sending Duanmu Fengyu flying. Duanmu Fengyu staggered back more than ten steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

At this moment, Shi Ji and Duanmu Fengyu also emerged from the warship. Their gazes were fixed on the evil Demon Emperor before them. Hundreds of relics floated around the evil Demon Emperor, each radiating dazzling light.

Duanmu Fengyu gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to hunt us down?"

"Chase you? Young man from the Duanmu family, I will not only hunt you down, but all the disciples of the major families in the entire Northern Desert will not escape." The Evil Demon Emperor sneered, "Including the women of your Duanmu family, I will capture them all."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Fengyu's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took a step back.

“Don’t be afraid, your parents’ souls have not yet perished.” Shi Ji said calmly, her hands behind her back. “We are not here to die, but to find those relics.”

“That’s right, we’ve come for these Buddhist relics.” Duanmu Fengyu took a deep breath and stared at the evil demon emperor.

"Oh, so it's for these relics. No wonder." The evil demon emperor was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then his sharp eyes turned to the two of them. "Hand over the relics, and I'll spare your lives."

Duanmu Fengyu coldly stared at the Evil Demon Emperor: "Since we dared to make a move, we didn't intend to go back alive. Brother Lin, let's kill this bastard together and seize the relic!"

Shi Ji gazed calmly at the evil demon emperor in the void.

"You few ants? A bunch of trash." As soon as Duanmu Fengyu finished speaking, an immense and incomparably bloody aura suddenly surged from the depths of the void.

An even more malevolent current of energy permeated the void.

As the stench of blood dissipated, a blood-clad man appeared in the void. This man exuded an incomparably malevolent aura; his burly frame and blood-red robes made him stand like an evil god, a blood-red blade in his hand. (End of Chapter)
