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

Jade beds were placed around the blood pool, and many corpses were lying densely on the jade beds.

These corpses are all living monks, both male and female, in various shapes and sizes.

Some people were wearing armor, but the armor had long been rusted and had lost its former luster.

However, a powerful pressure still emanated from the armor, but that pressure seemed to be gradually weakening, as if it was slowly dissipating with the passage of time.

Shiji's divine sense enveloped the corpses and examined them carefully.

He discovered that the owners of these corpses had been dead for at least millions of years, and their life marks had completely disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world.

These monks did not leave behind any inheritance, and the skills they practiced during their lifetime had long lost their effectiveness, as if they had completely dissipated with their deaths.

There is only one exception, and that is the "Secret of Immortality" that Shiji had seen before.

Shiji guessed that the "secret of immortality" must contain some heaven-defying fortune, and perhaps hide the secret of immortality.

It’s a pity that the Secret of Immortality has been lost, and the incomplete version of the Secret of Immortality has also been lost, as if it was deliberately erased by someone.

Otherwise, Shiji could have used his wisdom and understanding to deduce the practice method of the Secret of Immortality, and perhaps gain the ability of immortality.

Shiji tried to find a method to practice the secret of immortality, but she had no clue and was unsuccessful.

The secret of immortality is indeed extraordinary. It is extremely difficult to comprehend the mystery contained therein, as if it is an insurmountable chasm.

Shiji continued to study the corpses, trying to find some useful clues.

At this moment, the body of a monk began to tremble slightly, as if controlled by an invisible force.

He slowly opened his eyes, with a sinister look in his eyes, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell.

He stared at Shiji, his eyes filled with murderous intent and greed.

He slowly crawled towards Shiji. Although his movements were slow, they were full of threats, as if he wanted to kill Shiji.

This is a cursed doll, of course this cursed doll is not the one Shiji has seen before.

Instead, Shiji summoned the cursed doll to wake up through a special method, as if awakening a sleeping demon.

Shiji looked indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, as if she didn't care about the threat of the cursed doll at all.

He walked towards the cursed doll with firm and powerful steps.

The cursed doll quickly flew towards Shiji and slapped Shiji with one palm, as if it wanted to kill Shiji with one palm.

Shiji was not afraid at all and punched out, colliding with the cursed doll's right claw.

Suddenly, the sound of "crackling" of bones breaking was heard, like the wailing of a devil.

The cursed doll's arm broke directly, blood splattered everywhere, and he screamed as if he was in great pain.

Shiji's fist was as powerful as a unstoppable force, hitting the cursed doll's chest, and the cursed doll's chest exploded directly as if it was hit by a bomb.

He died tragically on the spot, his body fell limply to the ground, and there was no movement anymore.

"The cursed doll is dead?"

"How is this possible? The cursed doll is an extremely terrifying existence. It is said to have the origin of immortality and indestructibility. How could it die so easily?"

"He had clearly revived just now, but he still died at Shiji's hands. This is unbelievable! How strong is Shiji?"

"Could it be that this kid has some extremely terrifying treasure hidden on him? Or has his realm reached the level of the Emperor? Otherwise, how could he kill the cursed doll so easily?"

"It seems that we really underestimated this guy's ability. However, this guy is too arrogant. He is destined to perish here. Let's see how arrogant he can be then!"

After seeing the cursed doll fall, the monks watching from afar couldn't help but talk about it, their voices filled with shock and confusion.

They believed that Shiji must have used some extremely terrifying treasure to kill the cursed doll, otherwise, with the cursed doll's strength, it would not have been possible for it to die so easily.

They felt that the cursed doll died with its eyes open, as if it had left this world with endless resentment and unwillingness.

Not only these people thought so, Shiji also thought so. He felt that the cursed doll was too greedy, refused to submit to him, and even wanted to kill him.

So Shiji used various means to deal with him and finally killed him.

Shiji continued to move towards the depths, but at this moment, something strange happened.

An illusory figure appeared in the depths. It was a woman, a mysterious being who seemed to have come from another world.

There was a charming and enchanting aura around her, as if she could capture one's soul, but her face was extremely old, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

The aura she exudes is extremely evil, making people feel uncomfortable and as if they are in danger when they get close to her.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Many monks were attracted by her temperament and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even a master like Shiji couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this woman, and his heart was filled with shock.

Such a beautiful woman was beyond everyone's imagination and completely overturned everyone's three views.

Shiji frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you practicing in seclusion here?"

The woman looked indifferent, with a hint of arrogance in her tone, and said, "This secret realm was created by me personally. I am practicing in seclusion here, how can I allow you ants to disturb me?"

Shiji frowned, a little skeptical, and said, "The secret realm you created? That's unlikely, isn't it?"

The woman looked at Shiji with contempt and said sarcastically, "Why? Don't you believe it? However, since you have already entered here, don't even think about leaving. You are destined to stay with me forever!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's body suddenly caught fire without any warning, and flames shot up into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the woman turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Shiji was shocked and guessed that the woman must have sacrificed her own blood.

It is precisely because of this that she attracted the corpses of those strong men, resurrected them, and then completed the sacrifice with her own blood. This method of sacrifice is extremely special, and it is unknown how much blood of strong men is needed to complete it, but there is no doubt that this woman must be an extremely terrifying existence.

Now, after the woman completed the sacrifice, the entire secret realm began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Immediately afterwards, runes flew out from the stone platform. Those runes intertwined in the air, forming a ban that blocked the void and enveloped the entire secret realm.

Then, those runes condensed into a blade, extremely sharp and flashing with cold light.

With a "puff" sound, the sharp blade pierced Shiji's throat directly, and blood splattered everywhere.

Shiji suddenly revealed an extremely painful expression. The dagger contained a strange power that was madly devouring his blood.

No matter what method Shiji used, he could not stop the dagger from devouring his blood, and the speed of devouring was astonishingly fast.

Shiji could even feel a breath of death rapidly flowing into his body, as if his life was slipping away bit by bit.

Shiji quickly activated the Devouring Martial Soul and tried his best to absorb the strange power on the dagger.

Under the effect of the Devouring Martial Soul, the strange power on the dagger finally gradually dissipated.

Although he had temporarily resolved this strange power, Shiji did not dare to be careless at all, as he knew that something even more dangerous would happen next.

So, he began to use the Devouring Technique with all his strength, increasing the speed of the Devouring Technique to the extreme.

Under the stimulation of the devouring technique, wisps of strange power merged into Shiji's body.

Those strange forces began to change Shiji's body. He found that the blood in his body began to become more viscous, as if it was solidified by something.

The sticky blood made his body feel heavier and it became difficult for him to move.

Not only did the body become heavier and heavier, but even the soul seemed to be bound by something, moving slowly, as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

Shiji's face turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

Because, as the strange power in her body continued to dissipate, Shiji felt increasingly lethargic and her soul was about to collapse.

Shiji quickly took out a few pills from the storage ring and swallowed them. These pills were healing pills with excellent efficacy.

After taking it, the negative effects in the body instantly subsided a lot, and Shiji felt much better.

At this moment, eerie laughter echoed from all around, as if there were ghosts haunting the place. A cloud of black mist floated in the air, looking extremely strange.

The black mist gradually condensed into a human shape, which turned out to be a skeleton.

The skeleton said coldly: "It's really strange that I didn't kill you, but helped you resolve that negative state. It seems that my sacrifice is not over yet. Next, I will make a new sacrifice, but this sacrifice will be different from all the previous ones!"

"What do you mean?" Shiji asked doubtfully, her heart full of vigilance.

"Hehe." The skeleton laughed, and there was a hint of weirdness and madness in the laughter.

"The object of my sacrifice this time is myself." said the skeleton.

"What?" Shiji was slightly stunned, her heart full of surprise.

The skeleton smiled and said, "My blood can activate this secret realm. All the power in this secret realm will be at my disposal. This is the most critical step. I have sacrificed my blood, and all the power here will be gathered together. By then, even a quasi-immortal will not be able to defeat me."

"So you want to use your own blood to activate this place, but are you sure you are really willing to give up your life and sacrifice it here? You should know that if you fail, you will die without a burial place!" Shiji said in a deep voice, trying to persuade the skeleton to give up this crazy idea.

"Hmph." The skeleton snorted coldly, and then said: "My blood is my own blood. If I want to sacrifice myself, then I will sacrifice myself. Even if I fail, so what? This ancient tomb is where my ancestors are buried! My ancestors died here for the heroes of all races. How can I let them down?"

Shiji couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling extremely speechless at the skeleton's remarks.

What on earth is in this guy's head? It's so stupid!

Shiji said: "Since you are so stubborn, let me see if your blood can really awaken the power here!"

After saying that, Shiji activated the devouring technique and began to devour the blood released by the skeletons, preparing to meet the next challenge.

As expected, the blood released by the demon gods was swallowed up by Shiji one by one. As the blood of the demon gods was continuously absorbed by Shiji, the blood in his body seemed to be quietly undergoing a transformation.

Seeing this, the demon god sneered and said, "Boy! Do you think my blood is so easy for you to swallow and use? It has another unknown use!"

"Oh? What's the wonderful use?" Shiji raised his eyebrows and asked.

"My blood can not only strengthen the body, but also refine the soul. In the past, my ancestors devoured the blood of countless creatures in order to practice. And my ancestors also tried to refine my blood, but unfortunately they all failed. However, my ancestors left behind an ancient secret method, through which my blood can be closely connected with this secret realm. My blood can communicate with some special existences in the secret realm, such as this skull!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon god waved the skull in his hand, and gusts of cold wind blew up and headed straight for Shiji.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth. Shiji found that the skull was shaking violently. Then, waves of powerful waves emanated from the skull, shattering the surrounding void.

Dense cracks appeared on the skull, as if it would break at any time.

A roar came from the skull. The next moment, a crackling sound was heard, and the skull exploded directly. A skeleton flew out of it, surrounded by black light, emitting an extremely terrifying pressure.

"Could this be the skeleton left behind by that emperor-level strongman after his death?" Shiji couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart filled with shock.

After the skull was shattered, the skeleton floated in the air, with its eyes open, ignoring the sky.

It looked at Shiji, then stretched out its hand and a beam of light quickly blasted towards Shiji.

Shiji's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly performed the Three Thousand Weak Water Sword Technique, which turned into sword lights and swept towards the finger.

The two sides collided with each other, making a deafening noise.

Shiji was blown hundreds of meters away, his chest was in severe pain and he almost vomited blood.

The skeleton was so powerful that Shiji estimated that he would be unable to contend with him.

The demon god grinned and said, "You lowly ant, you can't defeat my ancestor's skeleton. I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise, I will kill you immediately. When my ancestor's skeleton completes the sacrifice, the strong in this secret realm will revive, and you will surely die!" (End of this chapter)
