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

Swish!
With a flash of sword light, the body of a Royal Guard commander was instantly split in half, and blood splattered everywhere.

"How can this be!"

The remaining royal guards were horrified. They looked at the scene in disbelief. Just with one sword, a congenital master was killed?
"Don't be afraid, he is just relying on the treasure in his hand."

"With so many of us, are we still afraid of him?"

The other two innate masters shouted angrily. They shook their wrists, and the weapons in their hands burst into bright light, turning into gun shadows all over the sky, covering Shiji.

"kill!"

"Kill the bandits!"

Each of the Royal Guards was extremely brave and valiant. They were elite soldiers picked from hundreds of miles away. At this moment, they were fearless and rushed towards Shiji.

Shiji's face was indifferent. He snorted coldly and slapped him down with a palm.

The terrifying energy gushed out like a raging wave, transforming into a scorching sun that submerged the entire street.

Boom!
A dull drum-like sound rang out, and the Royal Guards on the entire street were blown away like fallen leaves in the wind, falling heavily to the ground. Their bones were broken, blood was spitting out of their mouths, and they could no longer get up.

Chu Changge's eyes were as cold as ice. He stared at Shi Ji and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of our Chu Dynasty?"

Shiji smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Hey, are you still pretending to be nice to me? Minghe, get out of here if you know what's best for you."

It turned out that Shiji had discovered the remnant soul of the Styx hidden in Chu Changge's body with just a sweep of her spiritual sense.

In an instant, the Styx emerged from Chu Changge's body. His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were shining with hatred. When he was chased by Shiji, if it weren't for the help of the Blood Law, he would have died long ago. However, he was defeated by Shiji in the end, and naturally he was full of resentment.

"The Holy Infant of Jiejiao, why do you want to kill us all!" Minghe roared with gnashing teeth.

Hearing this, Shiji couldn't help but sneer, "Kill them all? Haha, old man Minghe, are you worthy of being called the ancestor?"

In ancient times, the Styx had harmed countless creatures, and countless human beings had been harmed by it. When Shiji mentioned this, her tone was full of contempt.

Minghe looked at Shiji with a cold gaze. Although he was afraid of the other party's identity, he did not show too much fear. After all, he was now living in someone else's body, and this was a big world. He didn't believe that Shiji would dare to risk being discovered by Tiandao and personally take action against him. What's more, he was confident that he could escape Shiji's pursuit.

Shiji nodded, and seemed to remember something. She shook her head suddenly and said sarcastically, "You are a coward. You dare to do things but not to take responsibility. It's a pity that I admired you in the past. It's really shameful. How can you, the dignified Styx Patriarch, not even learn this? Tsk tsk tsk."

Hearing this, Minghe was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't expect Shiji's mouth to be so powerful that it could bring the dead back to life.

Shiji continued to taunt, "Don't worry, I will leave this world after I get rid of you. I want to see how much you have left."

After saying this, his figure disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Minghe felt waves of severe pain all over his body, as if he was being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

"what!"

The screams resounded throughout the Chu Palace, deafening. Minghe felt so painful that he wanted to die. He roared, "Shiji, die!"

However, Shiji's voice rang in his mind, carrying a murderous intent: "Humph, you think you can fight me?"

Minghe was terrified, and he was horrified to find that this kind of torture was beyond his imagination. Even though he was once the great ancestor of Minghe, he had never encountered such a situation.

"What kind of evil magic did you use?" Minghe glared in the direction of Shiji with gritted teeth, even though he couldn't see the other person's figure.

Shiji chuckled and looked at Minghe with disdain. Although Minghe couldn't see him, he could hear his voice: "You ant, do you know what evil magic is? I am no longer the same person I was back then. You can't understand how powerful I am. Just enjoy yourself!"

Minghe's face turned livid. He knew that he was in danger today. Shiji was indeed very powerful, far beyond his imagination. In just a few years, Shiji had grown to this level. He was indeed no match for her.

Minghe felt bitter and regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have hidden away earlier and should not have confronted Shiji head-on.

"Shiji, you are so cruel!" Minghe said gritting his teeth.

"Same here!" Shiji snorted coldly, her voice full of disdain.

Minghe stopped talking, he knew that no matter what he said now, it would be useless. He could only let Shiji torture him in various ways, his body trembling under Shiji's attack.

After a long time, Shiji finally stopped moving. Minghe was already dying, his body was covered with dense scars, and blood was flowing non-stop, which was shocking.

"Haha, good! Very good!" Minghe laughed miserably, his eyes revealing madness and ferocity. "In that case, I will not let you succeed so easily even if I have to turn to ashes!"

"Shiji, it's impossible for you to devour me!" Minghe roared, "Unless you can erase all my memories, I will resist to the end!"

Minghe's face was filled with intense hatred. He stared at the direction of Shiji, even though he still couldn't see her.

The next moment, Shiji's face suddenly changed. He found that Minghe's body began to emit a brilliant light, and this power was extremely dangerous. Minghe actually chose to perish together with Shiji.

"But, do you think you can self-destruct successfully in front of me?" Shiji smiled coldly. He is now a Chaos Sage, who is many levels higher than the so-called Sages in the prehistoric world. Although Minghe has barely reached the level of a Heavenly Dao Sage by slaughtering billions of lives, he is still several levels lower than a Chaos Sage. Therefore, the probability of Minghe's self-destruction being successful is almost zero.

"I won't allow you to succeed in self-destructing!" Shiji snorted coldly and raised his hand and waved it in the air.

In an instant, a brilliant light burst out from Shiji's palm. This was the Hongmeng purple energy, which contained the power of creation. As soon as the Hongmeng purple energy appeared, it enveloped Minghe, making it impossible for him to self-destruct. Then, in Minghe's horrified eyes, Shiji took him into his body and suppressed him deep in his dantian.

"what!"

Styx struggled frantically, but to no avail. He roared hoarsely: "Don't even think about devouring me! You will never be able to do it! I would rather die than surrender!"

Shiji sneered, not caring about Minghe's struggle and roar. He glanced at Minghe, and although Minghe couldn't see him, he heard him tauntingly: "You loach, you also want to turn the tables? Do you really think I'm stupid!"

As he spoke, Shiji took out a crystal clear gem. This gem was one of the innate treasures he had obtained from the system that year, called Qiankun Pearl. This thing has the ability to reverse yin and yang and change the world.

After Shiji took out the Qiankun Pearl, she began to activate it, trying to take away Minghe's autonomous consciousness.

"what!"

With a miserable howl, the Styx was annihilated, both in body and soul. The power of the Qiankun Pearl was stronger than imagined, not only wiping out the intelligence of the Styx, but also absorbing all of the power of the Styx, including the soul of the Styx.

The effect of this trip was better than expected! Shiji was secretly satisfied.

"It's time to go." Shiji muttered to himself. Under the stunned gaze of the people in the Chu Palace, his figure disappeared in an instant. Then, he came to the location of Luoxia Tiandao's incarnation.

"The Chaos Saint has arrived to visit, and I'm honored to meet you." Luoxia Tiandao didn't expect Shiji to show up. He bowed his head tremblingly, keeping a very humble attitude.

Shiji looked at Luoxia Tiandao with a smile and said, "You're welcome. I have no interest in your world. I came to you this time because I want to ask you something."

While speaking, Shiji also told Luoxia Tiandao her purpose. After Luoxia Tiandao heard it, he immediately understood Shiji's intention.

"Don't worry, Saint. I will definitely investigate it for you." Luoxia Tiandao said respectfully.

Shiji nodded and decided to give this Luoxia Tiandao who was very sensible to the current situation a little benefit. He said: "I see that your cultivation speed is slow, why don't you follow me and I will help you break through the Hunyuan Saint Realm?"

Luoxia Tiandao was delighted when he heard this. He immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Thank you, Saint!"

"Get up!" Shiji waved his hand, then pointed at the corpse of the Styx that he had thrown out and said, "I'll give this thing to you, help me clean it up."

After Luoxia Tiandao received the order, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly collected the corpse of Minghe and devoured it. After doing this, he reported to Shiji: "Saint, it's all done."

Shiji nodded and said seriously: "Remember my words."

"Yes, sir." Luoxia Tiandao replied respectfully.

At the moment when Luoxia Tiandao lowered his head, Shiji's figure flashed and disappeared, leaving only a vague voice echoing in the air: "I will definitely win this era. If you don't cooperate, I don't mind killing the chicken to scare the monkey!"

When Luoxia Tiandao heard that, he felt a chill down his spine and quickly said, "Please be at ease, Saint. I will never let you down!" He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead while speaking, but he was feeling uneasy. Shiji's threat was like a huge rock pressing on his heart, making him feel unprecedented fear.

Only when Shiji's figure gradually faded away did Luoxia Tiandao dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He shook his head and muttered to himself: "What kind of wind blew the Chaos Saint to my little world? No matter what, it's better to be careful." At least, Shiji left him the corpse of a Heavenly Dao Saint, which was a blessing in disguise.

At the same time, in another part of the void, Shiji couldn't wait to take out the ancient sacred tree. Since injecting the soul of the Styx into it, he was surprised to find that the ancient sacred tree had miraculously matured! He couldn't contain his excitement and reached out to pick a tangled branch.

The ancient tree is completely black, like thick ink, and its branches are as sharp as swords. Each branch is a thousand feet long, like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and daunting.

Shiji's mind moved, and the ancient sacred tree instantly shrank to the size of a palm, and landed lightly in his palm. The branches and leaves of the sacred tree fell one after another, covering his entire arm tightly. The originally emerald green sacred tree had now turned pitch black, as if it had been corroded by toxins, which made people terrified.

Shiji held the ancient sacred tree tightly, closed his eyes, and observed it carefully. He could clearly feel that this ancient sacred tree contained a magnificent essence of life, but because it absorbed too much power from the Styx, these essences could not be released.

"So that's why." Shiji murmured to himself, "However, the quality of this ancient sacred tree is still slightly lacking and needs to be further improved." He was thinking in his mind that he had to find an opportunity to upgrade the grade of this sacred tree.

After making up his mind, Shiji decided to use the system mall to exchange some rare medicinal materials to improve the quality of the ancient sacred tree, allowing it to transform and become an existence beyond the level of chaotic spiritual roots. Even without relying on the blessing of the system, the ancient sacred tree has the potential and power comparable to the chaotic spiritual roots.

Shiji spent all the mall points she had just earned without hesitation and exchanged them for two precious medicinal herbs - the Green Emperor Immortal Root and the Golden Crow Immortal Blood. These two medicinal herbs, one symbolizes vitality, and the other represents the power of death. The two complement each other, and when combined, they will surely bring about earth-shaking changes to the ancient sacred tree.

Chaos-level spiritual objects are extremely rare. Fortunately, with the help of the system, Shiji has gone through untold hardships and finally collected these two medicinal materials. He can now try to replace the original ancient sacred tree.

"System, start fusing these two spiritual medicines." Shiji gave the order.

"Ding! Fusion in progress..."

"Fusion complete!"

A moment later, a reminder sounded in Shiji's mind. He opened his eyes and saw that the black ancient sacred tree in his hand had disappeared, replaced by two jade bottles emitting mist.

The jade bottle is filled with brightly colored liquid, and mysterious symbols can be vaguely seen flowing in it. It is obviously extraordinary.

"What is this?" Shiji was puzzled, but he could feel the vast vitality contained in it.

"This is the blood of the Golden Crow Immortal." The system replied, "In ancient times, the gods fought endlessly, and many powerful gods fell. Among them was a Golden Crow god. Before his death, he was unwilling to be lonely, so he burned the fragments of his godhood and created a peerless martial art - Burning Heaven Art!"

“It is said that this technique can use the power of the Golden Crow Godhead to communicate with the karmic fire in the Nine Netherworld, thereby summoning the power of the Nine Netherworld and launching a devastating attack!”

"Once this technique is used, all gods will retreat!"

After listening to the introduction of the system, Shiji's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is really a treasure!" (End of this chapter)
