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

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Although he still didn't know how powerful the Burning Heaven Art was, since it was a technique born in the Nine Netherworld, it must be something extraordinary. Moreover, this was a technique that belonged exclusively to Shiji! This was his trump card to enter the realm of transcendence!
"In that case, I should go and explore the Nine Netherworld." Shiji stood up and walked resolutely towards the Nine Netherworld in the ancient world of chaos.

The Nine Netherworld was unfathomable and boundless, as if it was connected to the Nine Heavens. Shiji stood on the shore of the Nine Netherworld, staring at the deep waters of the Yellow Spring quietly. After a long time, he jumped into the Nine Netherworld.

As Shiji jumped in, the temperature around him suddenly rose, and the hot waves rolled and surged, like a raging wave hitting the shore, deafening and extremely terrifying. These warm waves contained extremely high temperatures, enough to burn any immortal king-level god, and could even easily melt an existence at the level of an immortal emperor.

However, for Shiji, these hot waves made him feel extremely comfortable. The pores all over his body opened up, greedily absorbing these warm energies.

"What a pure Sun God Flame!" Shiji secretly admired in her heart. The essence of this Sun God Flame is purer and more powerful than that on the Sun Star. It contains the power of reversing yin and yang, and is mixed with a trace of primordial energy.

Shiji never expected that such a magical phenomenon would occur at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld. It is worthy of being the core place of the Nine Netherworld.

"The ancient sacred tree is really a rare treasure!" Shi Ji was filled with emotion. Not only the ancient sacred tree, but also the innate sacred objects he obtained, which one was not a heaven-defying thing? If it weren't for the help of the system, he, Shi Ji, would have been cheated and bankrupted a long time ago.

What Shiji didn't know was that if this ancient sacred tree really succeeded in giving birth to wisdom, then the benefits he would gain would be more than just making a fortune. The value of this sacred tree was countless times higher than he had imagined!
Shiji paused on the shore for a long time, and gradually, he felt that the seedling of the ancient sacred tree in his body had grown a few inches. Although it still could not be compared with the real sacred tree, its quality had been significantly improved.

"The breath of the Chaos God Root..." Shiji muttered to himself.

At this moment, a breath of tyranny and destruction swept in from the Nine Netherworld. Shiji's face changed and he shouted, "Who is it?"

He suddenly looked up and saw a huge and boundless shadow approaching rapidly at the end of his vision. The huge body exuded a fierce and violent aura that was suffocating, as if it was going to burst the entire Nine Netherworld.

"Huh? How could a tiny human like you still be alive in the underworld?" The huge shadow looked down at Shiji, with a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

It turns out that this is not the Taotie from the prehistoric world, but the ferocious beast Taotie from the ancient world of chaos.

"Are you the Chaos Demon God Taotie? Why do you appear here?" Shiji stared at the shadow of Taotie, a hint of vigilance revealed between his brows.

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Taotie laughed loudly, his tone full of contempt, "Does my presence here still bother you?"

He stared at Shiji coldly and said sarcastically: "You are an ant-like existence. I advise you to leave the Nine Netherworld. Otherwise, you will die miserably!"

As he spoke, Taotie exuded tremendous power, like a ferocious beast from ancient times revived. People could not help but tremble in fear and dared not look directly into his eyes.

Shiji's heart was beating wildly. So strong! Just from this breath of pressure, he felt a huge pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making the blood in his body boil up like boiling water, almost bursting. This is definitely a transcendent existence!

In the past, Shiji always believed that the Chaos Sage was the supreme being of the universe. However, when he himself reached the Chaos Sage realm, he discovered that there are always people better than you, and there is always a higher level of learning. Above the Chaos Sage, there are higher realms such as transcendence and the other shore.

However, Shiji was not panicked. He remained calm and said indifferently: "Are you threatening me?"

"Hmph! You, an ant, dare to question me? You are simply courting death!" Taotie roared angrily, flapped his wings, raised a hurricane in the sky, and pounced towards Shiji fiercely.

In an instant, the sky darkened, the sun and the moon lost their light. A terrifying pressure enveloped her, as if the sky was about to collapse. All this happened too quickly, and Shiji was attacked by the Taotie before she could react.

"Ancient Chaos Cauldron, activate defense!" Shiji murmured, urging the Ancient Chaos Cauldron to float above his head.

Boom!
The next moment, Taotie's giant claws descended and fiercely grabbed the Chaos Cauldron, making a sharp sound, like hitting a copper wall, sparks flying.

However, under such a powerful impact, the Ancient Chaos Cauldron did not move at all.

"Oh? You actually blocked my attack!" Taotie showed a surprised expression. He was a peak Transcendent Realm expert, with unparalleled physical strength, even a Chaos Saint would find it difficult to resist. Who would have thought that a kid who had just entered the Chaos Realm could actually withstand his claw?
This guy is quite interesting. Taotie looked at Shiji with interest.

"This guy is indeed a bit weird, no wonder he was recognized by the ancient sacred tree!" Taotie thought to himself, "However, I will definitely kill you here today!"

Taotie is unwilling to let go of any enemy with unlimited potential, especially a cultivator with extraordinary talent like Shiji. If he is allowed to grow, he will definitely become a serious threat!
“Boy, you can force me to use my three thousand Dharma bodies, you should be proud of yourself!” A cruel light flashed in Taotie’s eyes, and he growled in a low voice: “Now, just submit to me obediently!”

After saying that, it opened its huge mouth, and a thick black mist gushed out of its mouth. The black mist seemed to have life, and it quickly twisted and deformed, turning into countless black chains, carrying a chilling chill, and entwined with Shiji.

Shiji's heart tightened, he knew very well that the power of the black mist chain should not be underestimated. Without any hesitation, he immediately sacrificed the Chaos Ancient Bell.

In an instant, the melodious sound of bells echoed between heaven and earth. The bells seemed to have a magical power that penetrated all obstacles and reached people's hearts.

As the bell rang, the originally menacing black chains collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, turning into black smoke and dissipating in the air.

"What?" Taotie was shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes. This black mist chain was his famous skill, a forbidden secret technique. Even ordinary Chaos Saints would not dare to withstand it.

Taotie gnashed his teeth, his eyes flashing with coldness: "You, you actually control so many ancient Chaos Artifacts!" Although it was shocked, it did not panic and continued, "However, I have long expected that you have a treasure. Humph, so what?"

Before he finished speaking, Taotie's body suddenly began to swell, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant beast a hundred feet long. Its huge and ferocious head poked out, its fangs as sharp as steel nails, gleaming with a frightening luster. This was Taotie's true form, and it was filled with a terrifying aura, as if it could devour everything, making people stay away.

"Die!" Taotie roared, like a real dragon appearing out of nowhere, flapping its huge wings violently, covering the sky and the sun.

Shiji was caught off guard and was slapped away by the pair of huge wings, falling heavily into the abyss of the lake.

"Cough cough!" Shiji climbed out of the lake and coughed twice, feeling somewhat surprised. He originally thought that he was strong enough, but he did not expect that the Taotie's strength was so terrifying.

The power of Taotie was far beyond his imagination, and Shiji knew that he was no match for it. However, under the intimidation of Taotie, the blood power in his body seemed to be stimulated and boiled, and his fighting power soared.

"Little guy, stop resisting in vain." Taotie's voice suddenly came, full of teasing and coldness, "Although you are somewhat special and have the blood of chaos, after all, you have just entered the realm of Chaos Saint. You have not even been able to condense the Chaos Dharma Image. How can you be my opponent?"

"You want to kill me?" Shiji narrowed his eyes and looked at Taotie coldly when he heard that.

"Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish!" Shiji's figure flashed and soared into the sky. Holding the ancient sword of Chaos tightly in his hand, he slashed at Taotie fiercely.

The sword broke through the air, the sword energy crisscrossed, and the vast sword intent spread out, causing the entire lake to surge. The power of this sword actually made the surrounding chaotic sea of ​​energy boil and vibrate violently.

However, before Shiji got close to Taotie, wisps of chaotic lightning shot out from the chaotic sea of ​​energy. Each wisp of lightning contained terrifying power, like a sharp sword, tearing the void and shattering the sky.

Shiji waved the Ancient Sword of Chaos and tried to resist, but he knew in his heart that this was just the tip of the iceberg of Taotie's power.

"Haha, little thing, it's your blessing that I like your treasure." Taotie walked over with heavy steps and glanced at Shiji with contempt. Then, it frowned and said in confusion, "Huh? The power of this chaotic sea seems to be a little wrong!"

However, it was soon relieved: "It doesn't matter, I still have some strength left!"

Before he finished speaking, Taotie stepped on the sea of ​​​​chaos and pounced towards Shiji. Its huge claws were as sharp as a knife, carrying a destructive aura, as if it wanted to tear everything into pieces.

Shiji's face darkened. He knew that he could no longer hesitate. He made a prompt decision and activated the power of the Ancient Chaos Mirror.

Buzz! A bronze disc was suspended above his head, shedding endless light and firmly protecting him. This ancient mirror of chaos was the source of energy for the sea of ​​​​chaos.

"Is this your trump card? It does have some tricks, but that's all!" Taotie sneered repeatedly, his eyes full of disdain.

It suddenly raised its huge claws and slammed them hard on the bronze disc. Bang! The bronze disc shook violently, and dense cracks appeared on the surface, as if it could break at any time.

"Break it for me!" Taotie roared and increased his strength again.

At this moment, Shiji suddenly flew up into the air, his long hair fluttering, and a chaotic image condensed in the void behind him. He shouted: "Nine Heavens Star Sword Art, all things are annihilated!"

In an instant, Shiji's whole body burst into brilliant starlight, as if she had turned into a star core, controlling billions of stars, crushing the stars in the sky, and killing towards Taotie.

"Hahaha, it's just a trifle!" Taotie laughed loudly, not taking Shiji seriously at all. It raised its huge claws and slapped him hard.

Bang! The claws and the sword collided, and the terrifying waves spread out instantly, razing the area within a hundred miles to the ground. The huge body of the Taotie was also blown away by this force.

"What a strong force!" Shi Ji was shocked. He felt that the defense of the Chaos Ancient Mirror was almost penetrated by the Taotie. Fortunately, he activated the Chaos Ancient Mirror in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Boy, I won't make the same mistake again!" Taotie wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes became even redder. He stared at Shiji intently, increasing his speed to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he approached Shiji and punched him fiercely.

Bang! The fist raged like a tornado, and Shiji was shocked. The power of Taotie was too terrifying. Even in its normal state, it was many times more powerful than himself.

He finally understood how terrifying this Taotie who had reached the transcendent state was. It was indeed a powerful creature born from the fate of chaos!
Shiji took a deep breath and activated the Devouring Demonic Scripture without hesitation, and began to absorb the remaining chaotic energy in the chaotic sea of ​​energy. He must improve his strength as soon as possible, otherwise he will have no chance of winning.

"Hmm? Boy, you actually practiced this amazing skill!" Taotie's pupils shrank, and he looked at Shiji greedily, "Very good, in all these years, you are the only human I have seen who can use the Ancient Chaos Scripture!"

Taotie knew nothing about Shiji's origins and details, but he was very interested in the "Demon Devouring Sutra" that Shiji practiced. If he could capture Shiji and search his memory, he would be rich.

"Boy, you'd better surrender, or you'll suffer physical pain." Taotie grinned, revealing a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile, "If you don't appreciate it, I don't mind eating your flesh and blood."

It looked like it was sure of victory, as if it had already defeated Shiji. After all, it had awakened its ancient bloodline, and its combat power had soared, reaching the level of transcending the peak realm. Apart from a few ancient chaos immortals, who could be its opponent?

"Taotie, you want me to surrender? You're dreaming!" Shiji sneered, and his figure flashed and flew to the side. He was not the kind of person who would give in easily.

"Huh? Want to run?" Taotie's eyes narrowed, and it moved and immediately chased after him.

Swish! Shiji was extremely fast, jumping and shuttling in the air, avoiding the Taotie's attacks. (End of this chapter)
