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

Every calamity contains a terrifying power that chills the heart.

The roar that erupted when Shiji broke through the barrier shook the heavens and the earth.

His body is undergoing a transformation, his bloodline is being elevated, his lifespan is being extended, and his soul is experiencing an unprecedented sublimation.

This breakthrough lasted for a full seven days before gradually subsiding.

As the clouds of calamity slowly dissipated.

Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes.

Two captivating glints flashed in his eyes.

Feeling the powerful fighting spirit surging within him like a tidal wave, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

At this moment, his physical body and magical power have both reached a state of perfection.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the Emperor Realm, and he could take that crucial step at any moment.

Shi Ji did not choose to undergo her tribulation at the ancestral land of the Feng family.

That place is a place of trouble and danger. If one were to trigger a heavenly tribulation in the ancestral land, it would be tantamount to courting death.

He planned to travel to the desolate world outside the Immortal Star City to face the Heavenly Tribulation.

That area has an extremely harsh environment.

Shi Ji looked up and gazed into the distance, where a thick fog could be vaguely seen enveloping the entire desolate world.

That area shrouded in mist was the place he was heading to for his tribulation.

Despite the great distance, one could still clearly feel the heavy malevolent aura emanating from the desolate world.

What's even more chilling is the occasional wailing of vengeful ghosts emanating from the desolate world.

Those mournful howls were filled with resentment, curses, and all sorts of negative emotions.

Upon hearing these sounds, Shi Ji's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but frown.

He keenly sensed that some extremely terrifying being must be hiding in that desolate world.

"Is it really impossible to undergo tribulation in the ancestral land?" Shi Ji muttered to herself.

He once considered giving up on transcending the tribulation.

But the deep-seated resentment within him made it difficult for him to let go.

He longed to seize this opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.

After careful consideration, Shiji finally decided to go to that desolate world to undergo her tribulation.

He moved swiftly, speeding towards the desolate world.

Soon, Shi Ji arrived at the outskirts of the desolate world.

Just as he approached the entrance, he was suddenly attacked—a group of ferocious monsters exuding black energy emerged from the entrance.

These creatures, transformed from vengeful ghosts, exude a sinister and terrifying aura.

They excel at concealing their tracks and ambushing others, making them the most formidable opponents.

Upon discovering Shi Ji's whereabouts, these demonic beasts immediately let out a deafening roar and pounced on her frantically.

Shi Ji quickly drew the God-Slaying Sword and unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Technique.

Six divine swords shot out from the sky, instantly killing all the demonic beasts.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Ji rushed into the desolate world like lightning, heading rapidly into its depths.

This desolate world was shrouded in thick black mist, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Under the cover of the dark aura, countless vengeful spirits lurked in the shadows, watching with predatory intent.

They will launch a surprise attack as soon as anyone gets close.

Fortunately, Shi Ji was well-prepared and possessed formidable strength, so these sneak attacks posed no threat.

He traversed the desolate world for half a day before finally arriving above a swamp.

The swamp is home to countless poisonous insects, among which highly venomous spiders are the most common.

Shiji offered up the Phoenix Nirvana Fire.

The raging flames illuminated an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius, and wherever they passed, all the poisonous insects were reduced to ashes.

However, at that moment, a dense swarm of venomous snakes emerged from the insect nest.

These venomous snakes, their tongues flicking, lunged madly at the rocky islet.

They are not ordinary venomous snakes, but a monstrous species called the Ten Thousand Gu Venomous Snake, whose attack power is extremely terrifying.

Shi Ji threw a punch to meet the onrushing swarm of venomous snakes.

With a series of crackling sounds, all the venomous snakes were destroyed, leaving not a single drop of blood behind.

“Strange…” Shi Ji looked surprised.

He thought he had completely wiped out the venomous snakes, but to his surprise, they turned into a pile of white skeletons that glowed with an eerie green light.

"What's going on here?" Shi Ji asked in confusion, extending her divine sense to carefully examine the skeletons.

He soon got the answer—these bones contained an extremely deadly poison.

The potency of this toxin far surpassed any poison he had ever encountered before.

"Could this be the cave dwelling of a master of poison, or perhaps his burial place?"

Shi Ji pondered to herself.

He took out several bottles and jars from his storage ring, which contained various highly poisonous powders.

After the powder was sprinkled on the bones, they began to decompose rapidly.

Ultimately, it all turned into pus and blood, disappearing completely.

After confirming that the danger had passed, Shi Ji continued to advance deeper into the desolate world.

Three days later, he arrived at a huge stone gate.

Above the stone gate are three ancient characters: Desolate World.

The stone gate is protected by powerful restrictions, and it will take a lot of effort to open it.

"Let's try this stone tablet first!"

Shi Ji tried to strike the stone gate with the stone tablet, but found that the stone tablet did not move at all.

He couldn't help but smile wryly; it seemed he needed to find a more powerful magical artifact.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through this stone door.

After carefully looking around, he suddenly noticed that there were many mysterious runes carved on the wall next to the stone gate.

Shi Ji put the stone tablet back into the Mountain and River Bracelet, then used her magic power to condense several runes and affix them to the stone gate.

Then, with all their might, they pushed the stone gate open.

crunch--

The stone gate finally opened in response.

Upon seeing the stone gate open, Shi Ji's face lit up with joy.

He stepped through the stone gate, and the moment it opened completely, he was greeted by a dense swarm of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.

Even more surprisingly, many exotic flowers and plants grow in this desolate world.

These plants also contain potent toxins.

Shi Ji flew quickly into the area and soon discovered a peculiar medicinal herb.

It was a lotus flower that was entirely purple.

Purple enchanting lotus.

Legend has it that this is a sacred medicine of celestial grade, which can elevate a cultivator to a higher realm after being refined.

It can also cleanse the marrow and transform the body of the user.

"My luck is incredible! I actually encountered the Purple Demon Lotus! With its help, I might really be able to break through to a higher realm!"

Shi Ji's face was filled with excitement as she quickly flew towards the purple demon lotus.

But just then, a sharp bird cry rang out through the sky.

Immediately, a giant roc, as large as a small war chariot, flew over.

The roc's gaze was icy, its eyes like two bright lamps, fixed on Shi Ji, its eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

Clearly, it is the guardian beast of this purple demonic lotus.

The roc let out a cold shout and spewed out a terrifying ball of flame that swept towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the destructive energy contained within the flame, and hurriedly dodged backward.

Although the Roc's flames were incredibly powerful, Shi Ji was no ordinary person either.

After dodging the flame attack, he took out the Overlord Spear, leaped into the air, and slashed the spear fiercely at the Roc.

The clanging sounds were incessant. After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Shi Ji gradually gained the upper hand.

With a soft thud, the spear pierced through the roc's head.

"You lowly ant, how dare you kill my people!"

The roc let out a final roar, and then its head exploded.

Its physical body also collapsed, transforming into endless evil energy that surged forth.

These energies contained numerous runes, which coalesced in the air to form a bizarre spectacle.

A scene of Shiji and the Roc battling fiercely appeared in the void.

The giant roc seemed to want to use a demonic curse to harm Shi Ji, but Shi Ji ultimately managed to neutralize it.

The evil curse is a legendary curse technique.

This is a curse technique that gradually spread throughout the world after Ragnarok.

Although many people have heard of this curse, they are unaware of its specific power. Demonic curses can indeed inflict curses on people.

However, its effectiveness is limited under normal circumstances.

What if one were to cultivate this curse to its ultimate level?
At that time, the evil curse will become extremely terrible.

It can directly affect a cultivator's soul.

The main effects of this curse are concentrated on the soul level.

Once the soul is damaged, one's cultivation level will drop by a major realm.

In severe cases, it can even lead to immediate death.

This is precisely the most terrifying aspect of the evil curse.

Whether it is a trauma to the soul or damage to the soul.

This caused his cultivation level to drop.

These are all potentially fatal blows.

Moreover, one wants to recover after their cultivation level has dropped.

Even those with exceptional talent would find it difficult to regain their former level.

Unless aided by an extraordinary treasure, it is almost impossible to return to the peak.

Of course, only the most powerful individuals know these secrets.

Ordinary cultivators have no idea of ​​the existence of demonic curses.

"As expected of a demonic curse technique! It truly lives up to its name!"

Shi Ji muttered to herself.

He summoned the stone tablet and used the secret technique recorded in the Great Reincarnation Technique to activate the runes on the stone tablet.

Once the runes were activated, countless golden chains appeared out of thin air, tightly binding the purple demonic lotus.

Shi Ji grabbed the purple demon lotus and uprooted it.

They then quickly left the area.

Although the roc has already died.

But the surrounding ferocious insects and flocks of birds of prey were alarmed.

A chilling wind howled in.

Countless poisonous insects took flight, their wings flapping and blotting out the sun.

Those poisonous insects were exceptionally powerful.

They all rushed towards the rocky islet.

"Imperial Armor, appear!"

Shi Ji gave a soft shout and summoned the Emperor's Armor.

Imperial armor covered Shi Ji's entire body.

The poisonous insects that swarmed towards Shiji crashed into the surface of the Emperor's Armor and were instantly shattered. Shiji took this opportunity to quickly pass through the area.

next moment.

Shi Ji then arrived at the bottom of the cliff, where the lava was incredibly hot.

Shi Ji reached into the magma and quickly retrieved the purple demon lotus.

The purple demonic lotus exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Shi Ji left immediately.

Just now.

Shi Ji heard a loud bang that seemed to tear the air apart behind her. She turned around in surprise and saw a black sword flying out of the abyss.

The black sword exuded a terrifying aura as it slashed straight at Shi Ji, intending to kill her.

However, Shiji was moving too fast.

She instantly moved to the side.

He then punched the incoming black sword.

With a loud crash, Shi Ji and the black sword clashed head-on. She felt as if she had hit a metal plate, and was thrown back, her right fist bleeding profusely.

Shi Ji couldn't help but gasp; the attacker's offensive power was truly terrifying.

That blow just now almost broke her arm.

Shi Ji hurriedly put the purple demon lotus into her Mountain and River Ring, then flew out and soon arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Shi Ji rushed out of the cave and immediately used the Kunpeng Step to disappear in a flash.

Suddenly, Shiji heard a sinister voice coming from the forest, and she looked in the direction of the sound.

A strange fish with wings on its back is swimming in the mountains and forests.

The strange fish was extremely powerful, and Shi Ji dared not linger, so she quickly left the place.

She found a secluded valley to hide in, took out some medicine, and drank it to heal her wounds.

"Could it be a powerful member of the Crane Clan?" Shi Ji wondered to herself.

The ancestors of the Crane Clan once pursued immortality, so Crane Clan cultivators are proficient in various secret techniques.

The Crane Clan's supernatural ability is called the Nine Crane Strikes.

It is said that this is an extremely powerful and miraculous ability.

The ancestors of this clan once defeated three patriarchs of the Dragon Palace.

This demonstrates just how powerful the Crane Clan was.

Back when Shi Ji was in the North Sea World, she witnessed a fierce battle between the Crane Clan cultivators and the Dragon Palace cultivators. The battle was extremely brutal, and the Dragon Palace cultivators ultimately won a pyrrhic victory.

Shi Ji didn't know which faction of the Crane Clan this strange fish belonged to, but its cultivation was so profound that even with the Emperor's Armor, a treasure she possessed, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged in the valley and began to heal her injuries.

After waiting for about three days, Shiji finally recovered.

She left the valley and continued her search for the purple demon lotus.

Shi Ji took a liking to a rare and exotic plant.

That strange flower and herb is called the Xuanwu Sacred Fruit.

It is said that the Xuanwu Sacred Fruit can increase a cultivator's lifespan.

These rare treasures are priceless.

Shi Ji intends to pick the Xuanwu Sacred Fruit, but to succeed, she needs to enter the Xuan Turtle Pool.

Xuan Gui Tan is an extremely ancient forbidden area, where many powerful creatures are sealed.

Shi Ji cautiously made her way to the area where Xuan Gui Tan was located.

The closer Shi Ji got to Xuan Gui Pool, the more oppressive she felt. The deathly aura permeating the pool was like the deathly light emanating from the depths of hell, sending chills down her spine.

The stone pool's operation exploded fivefold.

Her strength was thus greatly enhanced.

This was barely enough to withstand the deathly aura emanating from the Xuan Turtle Pool.

She soon arrived near Xuan Gui Tan, where Shi Ji stood at a distance, gazing into the depths.

She saw a dense swarm of crows, each as big as a millstone.

The crows stared intently at him with their scarlet eyes.

Upon seeing these crows, Shi Ji frowned.

The crows were clearly targeting her.

Shi Ji tried to communicate with the crows, but found that she could not communicate at all.

"What bad luck! I originally came here to find the Purple Demon Lotus, but I didn't expect to run into this kind of trouble."

Shi Ji complained with dissatisfaction.

But at that moment, the waters of Xuan Gui Tan began to churn violently.

Many white bones floated to the surface of the lake; those were the remains of people who had passed away many years ago.

There was a human corpse.

There were also the corpses of ferocious beasts.

There were even the corpses of mythical beasts.

The eye sockets of those corpses flickered with eerie green flames.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." The will-o'-the-wisp flickered erratically, appearing exceptionally eerie.

Those will-o'-the-wisps seemed to want to break free of their restraints, and Shi Ji sensed that they contained terrifying power.

Then, the will-o'-the-wisps transformed into demons.

The demons roared to the sky, each one ferocious and terrifying.

Shi Ji took a deep breath. It seemed that these will-o'-the-wisps were released by the demons suppressed at the bottom of the Xuan Turtle Pool. Shi Ji turned to flee, but at that moment, the demons had already rushed out.

One demon after another rushed towards Shi Ji. They were so powerful that they possessed devastating power.

Sensing the immense danger, Shi Ji dared not hesitate and quickly fled into the distance.

One after another, demons relentlessly pursued them.

Shi Ji swung her arms and punched the onrushing demon.

Her ferocious punch slammed into a demon, producing a metallic clang. (End of Chapter)
