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

A series of muffled sounds were heard, and the black soul-devouring magic net was completely shattered.

The figure of the man in black fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". His face was extremely pale and his eyes were full of resentment as he stared at Shiji.

"What? Do you want to continue fighting?" Shiji looked at the man in black with cold eyes.

"Damn it!" The man in black gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Suddenly, a drop of scarlet liquid flowed out from the sleeve of the man in black and sprinkled directly onto the Soul-Devouring Demon Net, which immediately burst out with a powerful force wave.

In an instant, the soul-devouring magic net grew larger again, from four or five meters in size to thirty or four meters in size, with even more bizarre magic patterns, and spread directly towards Shiji's head.

"Hmm? Demons!" Shiji narrowed his eyes slightly, and his figure flashed, avoiding the magic net.

A metallic trembling sound was heard, and a sword came out of nowhere, extremely sharp, and slashed directly at Shiji's neck.

Shiji stretched out his hand to block the sword.

"Who are you? How do you know my identity?" The owner of the sword was the man from before. He looked at Shiji with a serious expression.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him could see through his identity.

"Why should I tell you?" Shiji turned and left.

"Hmph, don't even think about leaving!" The man said as he glanced coldly at Shiji's figure.

"Do you think you can kill me with this thing?" Shi Ji sneered at the man and said, "You are not worthy!" He turned around suddenly, crossed his arms and looked at the man.

The man flew into a rage upon hearing this.

A spear emerged, with a sharp blade on it, and stabbed directly into Shiji's chest. The speed was extremely fast, as fast as lightning, and the power of the spear was extremely sharp.

Shiji's eyes were sharp. He raised his hand and punched out with great dominance and strength, directly hitting the spear. This punch was incredibly powerful and domineering.

Fists and guns collided, and a deafening collision sound was heard. The two guns broke one after another, and then Shiji kicked the man in black in the waist.

There was a clear sound of breaking bones, and the man in black was kicked away by Shiji and fell to the ground.

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and his whole body twitched.

Shiji stepped forward and slapped the man in black in the face. The man's nose was broken, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Tell me! Who is your master behind the scenes?" Shiji shouted coldly.

"Our master is the Great Emperor Beimo. The Great Emperor has unparalleled magical powers and his power shakes the heavens and all realms!" The man said with a wild laugh, enduring the pain.

"Emperor Beimo, very good. In that case, you can go and meet Emperor Beimo." Upon hearing this, Shiji nodded and said, "I don't mind giving you a ride."

As he spoke, Shiji grabbed the man and threw him directly into the abyss of the Northern Desert.

In the abyss, the man's screams were heard, and then the sound gradually disappeared without a trace. Shiji looked at the Beimo Abyss, and a terrifying devouring force surged from the depths of his brows.

The essence in the abyss of the Northern Desert rushed towards Shiji frantically and merged into his body. Shiji's spirit became stronger again.

A powerful aura emanated from him, which had increased several times compared to before, and skyrocketed to an extremely terrifying level, even surpassing the masters in the Nirvana realm. His cultivation also climbed to a new peak.

"Not bad, not bad, I finally broke through to the sixth level of Nirvana."

Shiji muttered to himself, then turned and stepped into the sky above the lake. Suddenly, a void tunnel appeared in the area.

Shiji stepped into the void tunnel and disappeared.

In the void passage, Shiji walked for half an hour before stopping, and his figure came to the door of a palace.

This palace is simple and plain, and looks like an ordinary house, but it exudes a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, with thick trunks and branches full of various fruits.

These fruits turned out to be magic crystal fruits. Each tree had thousands of them, emitting a rich fragrance.

Shiji took out a bag of fruits and started to eat them. After eating some, he sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced the two unique skills of Taihuang Bell and Taihuang Tower to absorb the medicinal power of the fruits.

Violent trembling sounds were heard from the two sacred monuments, the Taihuang Bell and the Taihuang Tower, and the aura gradually rose.

Moreover, Shiji vaguely felt that this aura seemed to show signs of transformation.

"Can it really reach the level of a divine weapon?" Shiji looked at this scene and said in surprise.

"Master, if these two treasures can really transform, they can be promoted to divine artifacts." The spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd suddenly reminded.

When Shiji heard the words of the Soul-Devouring Gourd, he was overjoyed and sat cross-legged in the void without hesitation.

Suddenly, a sky full of starlight descended from the sky, shining brightly, illuminating the nine provinces. A galaxy appeared in the void, and endless galaxies flowed down, enveloping the entire void. This galaxy was the source of the starlight.

Shiji relied on the baptism of starlight, and the true energy in his body rose steadily. After an unknown amount of time, his cultivation stabilized in a mysterious state, and he was only one step away from the Zhenwu realm.

"Congratulations, master. Congratulations, master." At this time, the voice of the spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd came.

Another voice was also heard, it was Huangquan Hades, and his figure also walked out.

"You two should also practice hard." Shiji looked at Huangquan Hades and the Soul-Devouring Gourd and said with a smile.

"Master, rest assured, we will work hard to cultivate and transform into a human as soon as possible." Huangquan Hades said with a smile. Although it is not difficult for them to transform into a human, they still need to cultivate after transforming into a human.

Shiji nodded slightly, and suddenly a look of doubt appeared on his face. He walked forward, pushed open the door and walked in.

The moment the door opened, an ancient zither appeared in front of him. The zither was hazy and mysterious, exuding a vast breath of life, with many words engraved on it, and traces of time flowing out.

"The guqin of time." Shiji looked at the guqin in silence, his eyes falling on the side of the guqin.

Next to the guqin lay a skeleton, which was purple and lifelike, just like a living person. Dense divine patterns appeared on the purple skeleton.

"What a beautiful female skeleton!"

Shiji looked at the purple skeleton in amazement. He had never seen such a skeleton before. The female skeleton was flawless, as crystal clear as jade, and exuded a breath of life, giving people a feeling of fragility.

“This should be left behind by the Emperor Beimo.” said the spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd.

"Maybe." Shiji said with a smile: "She should be the concubine of Emperor Beimo."

"That's not the case. This woman should be the sister of the Northern Desert Emperor. The Northern Desert Emperor also has a younger brother. He once had a wife, but was murdered by his brother. This woman also fled with his brother and was eventually killed."

The spirit of the Soul Devouring Gourd explained, “However, his sister left behind a drop of her true blood, and the Northern Desert Emperor buried her here.”

"So that's how it is." Shiji listened quietly. "Master, what is her cultivation level?" Soul Devouring Gourd asked.

"I don't know, but it should be equivalent to a strong person in the seventh level of Nirvana." Shiji said after thinking for a while. With the qualifications of this woman, it should be more than that.

"You can't let Emperor Beimo's conspiracy succeed." The spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Shiji asked after hearing it.

"The Great Emperor of Beimo is the second most powerful person in Beimo Continent, and he is the only one who dares to venture into the North Sea."

The spirit of the Soul Devouring Gourd explained, "If you succeed in refining a divine weapon, won't you have to contend with him? Even if you now possess the combat power of the third level of Nirvana, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with you."

"You're right, I understand." Shiji nodded and said, "But we can put these things aside for now."

"Okay." The spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd responded.

Shiji then walked out and closed the door.

"Master!" As soon as Shi Ji walked out of the door, Tang Yingjun, Hu Xiaocheng and others immediately surrounded him and asked, "What's the situation?"

"You guys should withdraw first." Shiji replied, "I plan to go into seclusion and concentrate on refining the magic weapon!"

"Okay, I'll take them out right away." Upon hearing this, Tang Yingjun, Lin Ao and others left one after another.

Shiji turned and walked into the house. There were many materials placed in the house. The piles of materials exuded majestic divine power.

A total of one hundred and eight formation flags were suspended in the void, and crystals were floating in the air.

Shiji waved his right hand and an iron sword flew out. This iron sword was the magic weapon he obtained when he killed Emperor Xiling, one of the Three Emperors of Beimo.

This sword is extremely sharp.

Once activated, it can unleash tremendous destructive power, making it the third-ranked treasure on the Divine Weapon List.

Shiji picked up another magic sword. This magic sword was a holy weapon and its power was even more terrifying.

Shiji's eyes were as sharp as lightning.

He stood in the void, with a vast aura emanating from his body.

He reached out and grabbed the divine sword, slashing it towards the depths of the void. Suddenly, a blade light swept across the sky, shattering all the heavens and worlds, and slashed the wall with the sword.

A loud bang exploded in the void.

A crack appeared in the wall.

A roar shook the heaven and earth, and the void collapsed. A ball of fire rushed out, burning the sky. With terrible burning power, it swept out and covered the space of dozens of meters in radius.

A huge monster emerged, carrying a pitch-black spear on its back. Its entire body was dark, covered with scales, and had sharp fangs.

"Ghost Snake of the Netherworld!" Shiji frowned.

The monster in front of him was actually a terrifying Netherworld Ghost Snake. This Netherworld Ghost Snake was even more powerful than the ones he had encountered before. It opened its mouth and spit out a flame with destructive power, drowning Shiji's figure.

Shiji put his hands behind his back, shouted coldly, stepped into the air with his sleeves fluttering, and punched out, directly defeating the engulfing flames in the void. His fist was as powerful as a unstoppable force, smashing hard on the huge python's head.

The head of the Netherworld Ghost Snake exploded and turned into blood mist, and then a divine power emerged. Shiji waved his hand and directly collected the divine power, then withdrew his defense.

A vast life essence spread out, poured into Shiji's body, and merged into his flesh. This was the effect of a magic pill.

"How powerful! It actually contains such a terrifying life essence, which is more powerful than any elixir I have absorbed." Shiji exclaimed.

“However, this remaining will is very weak. If this woman had not died, it would not have given birth to the essence of life.” said the Soul-Devouring Gourd.

"Okay, don't worry. I will now start to retreat and refine the magic weapon." Shiji put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. This was his chance to break through the fifth level of Nirvana.

"You are worthy of being the master I chose. Your perseverance surpasses that of other masters. I hope you can reach a higher level." The spirit of the Soul-Devouring Gourd complimented.

"That's for sure." Shiji laughed, then walked to a mountain in the distance, sat cross-legged, and practiced the Chaos Creation Technique to refine this ray of life essence.

This strand of life essence was extremely pure and contained a powerful spiritual consciousness, as surging as the vast ocean. However, this strand of life essence was too little, not even as much as an ordinary person's life essence from a month of hard practice.

But Shiji was not disappointed. After all, this was something left behind by a powerful half-step god or demon.

Time passes gradually.

Shiji's aura became more and more powerful, his magic power became more and more terrifying, his aura reached its peak, and he looked like an abyss or a prison.

At this moment, Shiji opened his eyes, a brilliant light appeared in his eyes, and he said with a wicked smile: "Finally, I have entered the realm of half-step magical power."

One step closer to the realm of supernatural powers.

Holding the magic hammer in his hand, he walked towards another palace and continued to condense his martial arts.

There are a total of forty-nine levels in the martial domain, and each level is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Shiji held the magic hammer and struck madly, the speed getting faster and faster, like a violent storm.

After an incense stick of time, Shiji stopped and sat cross-legged in the void with a flushed face. He felt that his martial arts domain was becoming more and more powerful, and vaguely, a strange fluctuation was transmitted through his body.

A strange force quietly seeped out, and this force seemed to contain the profound mystery of some rules.

Just like when Shiji first comprehended the Great Sun Heart Sutra, a mysterious power was born in his martial arts domain. This power was extremely profound. When he touched this mysterious power, he became more and more adept at using various powers.

He can even display various exquisite skills easily.

Moreover, Shiji clearly felt that his body was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Strands of lightning flashed and intertwined, transforming into a thunder sword. A destructive sword intent spread out, and at this moment, Shiji seemed to have become ethereal and disappeared.

"Sure enough, the combination of the god-level body-tempering fluid and the god-level healing fluid can allow me to interpret the laws of thunder to the pinnacle." Shiji murmured to himself, a mysterious aura flowing from his body.

The atmosphere is as hazy as clouds, giving people a sense of mystery.

His aura continued to rise, from the third level of Nirvana to the fourth level of Nirvana, and this rising momentum did not stop, directly rushing into the fifth level of Nirvana before gradually subsiding.

"The sixth level of Nirvana." Shiji murmured to himself. As his cultivation level advanced, his understanding of this world became deeper and deeper.

There are indeed many watersheds in the Nirvana realm, such as the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. (End of this chapter)
