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

However, he was prepared for this and did not expect the golden lamp to be very powerful.

He now relies mainly on cursed dolls.

Shi Ji took out more than a dozen Quasi-Immortal Talismans from her storage ring.

He collected these quasi-immortal talismans when he was in the Tianwu Great World.

He has refined nine cards so far, and there are still eight cards to refine.

Shi Ji summoned the Quasi-Immortal Talismans and quickly flew towards the old man, intending to use these quasi-immortal talismans to trap the old man and then seize the opportunity to kill him.

The old man also sensed the terror of the Quasi-Immortal Talisman and wanted to escape quickly.

But how easy is it to escape?

The dozen or so quasi-immortal talismans unleashed a world-destroying power, instantly catching up with the old man.

Five or six quasi-immortal talismans exploded in succession, and the resulting shockwaves swept across the heavens and earth.

The old man was blasted away, seriously injured, and his face turned deathly pale.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shi Ji swiftly charged toward the old man, intending to kill him while he was injured.

However, at that moment, a dangerous aura suddenly spread and enveloped Shiji.

Shi Ji took a deep breath, sensing a deadly threat. He turned his head to look...

An elderly man appeared in the void.

The deadly aura just now came from this older man.

Shi Ji looked at the older man with a furrowed brow.

The older man gave him an extremely eerie feeling.

That feeling is hard to describe.

"Who exactly are you?" Shi Ji asked in a deep voice.

Who I am doesn't matter! What matters is that you deserve to die!

The older man looked at Shiji with a cold gaze.
He pushed his hands forward, and a ball of black light surged into the void, slashing towards Shi Ji.

That black beam of light was terrifying; it contained destructive power.

Shi Ji quickly summoned more than a dozen array stones and activated them all.

Next, Shi Ji set up a large formation.

After the formation was completed, Shi Ji, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, rushed towards the black beam of light and slashed at it.

With a clang, the sharp blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword collided with the black beam of light.

The black beam of light was shattered.
Shi Ji was also shaken back several meters.

"Such immense power." Shi Ji's expression turned solemn. The older man before her was no ordinary person; his strength was simply terrifying. If it were a one-on-one fight...

Shi Ji even harbored doubts, feeling that this older man was very likely to have the strength to defeat her.

The older man's strength was so astonishing that Shi Ji speculated that he might be a powerful figure at the level of an emperor.

After all, even a Celestial Realm expert wouldn't be this powerful; only an Emperor-level being could achieve such strength.
Only then could they possess such incredible combat power.

"Young man, you're hiding too many secrets. Hand over your soul, and I might spare your life!"

The older man stared coldly at Shiji.

He stretched out his withered, chicken-claw-like left hand and reached out to grab Shi Ji.

That left hand seemed to possess the power to shatter all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Shi Ji felt as if she were locked on, no matter where she fled.

The older man was able to find him easily and launch a thunderous attack.

Shi Ji roared, her face contorting into a ferocious expression.

He summoned the cursed doll and swiftly lunged at the older man, his body merging directly into the cursed doll.

The cursed doll cast a curse in an attempt to harm the older man.

"Your curse technique is somewhat skillful, but it's completely ineffective against me. You think you can defeat me with the curse doll's curses? How utterly foolish!"

The older man sneered repeatedly.

The curse spell of the cursed doll had no effect on this guy.

However, the cursed doll's curse power can cause great harm to cultivators.

The cursed doll imbued the old man with the power of its curse.

The old man was trying to get rid of Shi Ji's entanglement, but he was horrified to find that he could not break free.

"What's going on? What kind of evil magic are you using, kid? Why can't I break free? Is it a curse?"

The old man turned pale, unable to believe that the cursed doll possessed such terrifying curse power.

"Hehe, you guessed it! The most powerful thing about us cursed dolls is our curse power!"

The cursed doll let out a grotesque laugh.

It continued to cast curses at the old man. Although the old man was powerful, he was no match for the combined attack of Shi Ji and the cursed doll.
They gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

His injuries were getting worse and worse, and his blood vessels were on the verge of collapse.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Shi Ji's mouth.

Since this guy dared to attack me, he has to bear the consequences.

"Boy, let this old man see your true skills!"

The older man looked calmly at Shi Ji, raised his right hand, and pointed it into the air.

An ancient character appeared, shining with dazzling light, and pressed down on Shiji.

That ancient character is the ancient character of time.

The ancient Chinese character for "years" symbolizes time.

As the ancient characters of time roll down upon Shiji, it's as if a long river of time appears, surging towards Shiji.

Shi Ji was shocked and tried to dodge the attack of the ancient character of time, but he found that the ancient character of time was too fast and could not be dodged at all.

He could only withstand the onslaught of time and ancient inscriptions.

Shi Ji was blasted away, coughing up blood, and her body almost collapsed.

The older man was stronger than anyone had imagined; Shi Ji never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat.

Such a powerful existence,
Shi Ji had never encountered this before.

The older man said coldly, "An ant is still an ant. Even if you possess many powerful supernatural abilities, you cannot change your fate!"

The older man struck again, delivering a palm strike from a distance.

Blood splattered everywhere as Shi Ji's chest was ripped open.

Shi Ji roared, his eyes bloodshot, his heart aching terribly. He hadn't expected this.
I never imagined I would die such a tragic death.

"I can not be reconciled!"

Shi Ji shouted through gritted teeth.

The next moment, Shi Ji's body turned to ashes and vanished completely.

Shi Ji's soul was devoured by the older man, and her body turned into a pool of pus.

The older man said indifferently, "I don't like others coveting my treasures, especially low-level cultivators like you. You're really courting death, daring to try and compete with me for the Nine Netherworld Spring. You're simply ignorant of your own limitations!"

finished,

The older man waved his hand and grabbed the Nine Netherworld Spring.

After collecting the Nine Netherworld Spring, he left the Void Mountain Range.

After Shi Ji's fall, the cursed doll rushed towards the Nine Netherworld Spring, but was blocked by a powerful binding force.

"Let me in right now!" the cursed doll roared angrily.

Meanwhile, Shi Ji's spirit was secretly watching the older man.

He was looking for an opportunity to ambush the older man when he was off guard.

However, the older man was extremely vigilant, and a powerful defensive magnetic field surrounded him.

There's no way to get close.

"Young friend, let's talk. Whatever you need from the Nine Netherworld Spring, I'm willing to lend you a hand. I hope we can cooperate, so I can look out for you!"

At this moment, the cursed doll and Shiji began to talk.

Shi Ji asked, "If I told you that I plan to refine the Five Elements Immortal Pill, would you be willing to help me gather the necessary materials?"

After hearing Shi Ji's words, the cursed doll fell silent. Clearly, it was no stranger to the Five Elements Immortal Pill and knew all too well how difficult it was to refine.

However, it still responded: "As long as my friend has any needs, I will do my best to meet your requirements."

Shi Ji sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you what was born in the Nine Netherworld Spring."

“A demonic dragon has been born in the Nine Netherworld Spring. This demonic dragon has reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, but has not yet broken through.”

As soon as Shi Ji finished speaking, the older cultivator's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say? A demonic dragon was born in the Nine Netherworld Spring? How is that possible? The Nine Netherworld Spring is a top-tier innate treasure. Logically, it should give birth to immortal medicines, not a demonic dragon!"

The older man asked, full of doubt.

Shi Ji explained, "Actually, the Nine Netherworld Spring does not belong to the Great World of Kyushu. There was once a mysterious cave in the Great World of Kyushu where an extremely terrifying being was buried."

However, that being left behind three thousand Great Daos, which merged into the Nine Netherworld Spring.

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the older man immediately showed an expression of utter shock.

"The Three Thousand Great Daos! It really is the Three Thousand Great Daos! My ancestors were right, the Three Thousand Great Daos do indeed exist in the Nine Netherworld Springs of the Great World of Kyushu!"

Shi Ji then asked, "Why were your ancestors unable to take the Three Thousand Great Daos with them?"

"I cannot answer this question for you. It is because even our ancestors failed to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos. Perhaps, our ancestors did not gain the approval of the Three Thousand Great Daos!"

The older man said bitterly.

Shi Ji wondered to herself, "Could that ancestor have been an empress?"

If she were truly a powerhouse at the level of an empress, why would she leave the Three Thousand Great Daos in the Great World of Kyushu?
Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?
However, Shi Ji is currently unaware of the specifics of the conspiracy.

"Young friend, let's put the Nine Netherworld Spring aside for now. What are your plans next?"

Shi Ji replied, "I will always remember your life-saving grace, senior. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost!"

"Hahaha, I love hearing that!"

The older man laughed and said, "I'm a man of my word. If I help you, you have to help me too. Just tell me what materials you need."

Shi Ji quickly said, "This junior needs a piece of meteorite iron from outer space and a longevity herb."

The meteorite iron from outer space is covered with dense runes, while the longevity grass has many leaves. These two materials are among the most precious of the main ingredients needed to refine the Five Elements Immortal Pill.

Shi Ji urgently needs the main ingredients for refining the Five Elements Immortal Pill, but she cannot gather both of them.

Therefore, he decided to find a powerful Immortal King to exchange for these two main medicinal ingredients, even if it came at a price.

Because it concerns the safety of his parents.

Moreover, Shi Ji thought of another problem at this moment: if she could figure out the origin of the Three Thousand Great Daos, she might be able to solve the most pressing problem at present.

"Meteorite from outer space, longevity grass, please wait a moment!"

After the young monk finished speaking, he stepped away and returned a moment later, handing Shi Ji a scroll.

"What is this?" Shi Ji asked the young cultivator in surprise.

The young cultivator said, "This contains a topographical map of the Nine Provinces. On an island hundreds of billions of kilometers away from here, there are extraterrestrial meteorites and longevity herbs."

"These things are valuable, but they are far from what you need!"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

"Yes, go ahead. Leave things here to me."

The older monk waved his hand.

Shi Ji bowed slightly to the older cultivator, then turned and left, disappearing without a trace in no time.

"Sigh, what a stroke of luck this is! How did this kid end up with it?" the older cultivator muttered to himself.

He even began to feel envious, jealous, and resentful of Shi Ji.

He felt this was a great stroke of luck.

But I also feel very sorry about it.

This is truly a losing proposition.

Shi Ji arrived near the Nine Netherworld Spring, where the demonic energy was becoming increasingly dense and the environment was extremely harsh.

However, Shi Ji discovered a problem: although the demonic energy of the Nine Netherworld Spring was extremely violent, it seemed unable to corrode his body.

The demonic energy emanating from the Netherworld Spring could not harm Shi Ji's body at all, which greatly surprised Shi Ji.

This place is indeed extraordinary.

Shi Ji continued her exploration into the depths of the Nine Netherworld Spring.

The deeper they went, the denser the demonic energy became, and the more potent the poison it contained. Fortunately, Shi Ji possessed a powerful source of darkness, otherwise…

Without the protection of the source of darkness, he would have had difficulty resisting the invasion of this demonic energy.

Finally, Shiji reached the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Spring.

At the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Spring, demonic mist filled the air, and a massive mass of demonic energy churned like boiling water—that was the demonic spring within the Nine Netherworld Spring.

"Boy! I advise you to leave right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Amidst the demonic aura, a chilling voice rang out.

That being had clearly sensed Shi Ji's arrival.

However, the entity within the demonic aura did not reveal itself. Shi Ji guessed that the entity might be secretly accumulating power in preparation for attacking her, and therefore dared not show itself easily.

Even so, Shi Ji was not afraid of this being at all, and a cold killing intent appeared on his face.

Shi Ji said coldly, "I came here to take your life!"

A monstrous demonic aura surged forth from the demonic mist, and then the being burst forth from it.

The demonic energy gathered and condensed into a phantom figure that was ten thousand meters tall.

The figure resembled a demon god, clad in jet-black armor, surrounded by endless demonic light, sending chills down one's spine.

“This is a demon soul!” Shi Ji frowned. He had seen many demon souls, but the one in front of him was extremely special. It was an ancient demon soul.

"You lowly ant, how dare you attempt to take my life! You are truly audacious!"

The demonic soul stared at Shi Ji, its eyes flashing with chilling killing intent. In its eyes, killing mere human cultivators was an easy matter.

He didn't take Shi Ji seriously at all, which could be seen from the disdain in the demon's eyes.

"Death Lotus, suppress it!"

Shi Ji unleashed the Death Lotus, which instantly flew out.

The Death Lotus rapidly expanded, completely enveloping the terrifying demonic soul within it.

An endless surge of death power erupted, attempting to devour the terrifying demonic soul.

"Hmm, you do have some skills! However, it's useless; your power of death is ineffective against me."

The terrifying demonic spirit sneered.

Before the words were finished, the demonic soul stretched out a finger and pointed it at the Death Lotus. (End of Chapter)
