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

Shi Ji swallowed the purple bead and instantly sensed its profound mystery.

This bead is called the Chaos Ancient Bead.

It is an extremely special ancient treasure of chaos.

And the wondrous uses of the Chaos Ancient Treasure.

Its purpose is to greatly enhance a cultivator's cultivation level.

Cultivators consume the Chaos Ancient Pearl.

It can greatly enhance soul power.

The stronger one's soul power, the higher one's cultivation level and the greater one's strength after a breakthrough.

A cultivator's combat power depends on many factors, such as the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills they practice.

Although Shi Ji has not yet broken through to a higher level of spiritual attainment.

However, as one's cultivation progresses, one's soul realm will also improve.

Consuming the Chaos Ancient Pearl can help him elevate his soul realm, which is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for him.

After the power of the Chaos Ancient Pearl was completely refined.

Shi Ji felt as if her soul had transformed into another form, even coalescing into a divine soul.

The divine soul, transcending the soul, is a more mysterious form, and can be considered a more powerful soul.

After completing the transformation of the soul.

Shi Ji enveloped her soul with her divine sense and was astonished to discover that her divine sense could penetrate the void.

This is truly an incredible ability.

"What kind of ability is this? Could it be a mental attack?" Shi Ji muttered to himself in surprise. He felt that his soul seemed to be able to use a method similar to a mental attack.

But whether it can truly be put to use remains to be seen.

The location of the stone is still uncertain.

Shi Ji carefully sensed her own spiritual state, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

She was surprised to find out.

His own soul was able to unleash a soul attack, and the power was astonishing, even shattering the void.

This discovery thrilled Shi Ji; her soul attack was indeed more powerful than she had imagined.

"In that case, wouldn't I be able to sweep away numerous Emperor-level powerhouses?"

She stepped out of the room, preparing to head towards the dark abyss.

The Dark Abyss is located deep within the Sea of ​​Death.

It takes about two and a half months to get to the Dark Forest.

Shiji flew towards the Sea of ​​Death.

The Dark Forest, as its name suggests, is one of the most dangerous areas in this starry world. Not long after Shi Ji entered the Dark Forest, she was attacked by a horde of monsters.

As hordes of ferocious beasts pounced on Shiji, she immediately unleashed her Epochal Overlord Aura.

The Epoch's domineering aura radiated a dazzling light, enveloping the numerous charging demonic beasts.

Many ferocious beasts were directly knocked to the ground. These beasts' bodies were not particularly tough, and after being hit by the Epochal Overlord Aura, they basically fainted instantly.

Shi Ji collected these unconscious monsters and put them into her storage ring.

She continued her journey through the Sea of ​​Death, intending to find several ferocious beasts at the Emperor Realm level and kill them.

Go hunt down some more powerful elixirs and refine a batch of pills to enhance your cultivation.

This way, her cultivation level can improve rapidly.

As Shi Ji was searching for powerful ferocious beasts, a series of roars suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, one after another enormous, ferocious beasts charged toward the rocky islet.

Each of the ferocious beasts was tens of meters long.

His body was as if it were cast from steel.

It exudes an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

These are metal tyrants, creatures with incredibly strong defenses and formidable physical bodies.

These metal tyrants also possess extraordinary bloodlines.

They belong to metallic life forms.

Shi Ji speculated that this was a metallic life form.

It has similarities to a metal golem.

But in reality, they are not exactly the same.

Because the Metal Tyrant is not a Metal Puppet.

They possess independent will and even intelligence.

One after another, the metal tyrants roared and charged rapidly toward the rocky shore.

Shi Ji unleashed the unparalleled Dragon Elephant Fist technique, and with a deafening collision echoing through the void, one metal tyrant after another was blasted away.

These metal tyrants were all severely damaged.

However, the Metal Tyrant's regenerative abilities are truly formidable.

Although the wound was severe, it healed quickly.

These metal tyrants still lunged at Shiji with bared fangs and claws.

They were incredibly fast, arriving in front of Shiji in an instant.

Then it bit her hard.

Just then, Shi Ji smirked and kicked out with her right foot, sending the charging metal tyrant flying.

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The broken body of the metal tyrant that had been kicked away began to writhe.

It actually wants to regain its physical body, and its ability to do so is so amazing?

How can it be restored like this?

Shi Ji was quite surprised.

She stepped forward, raised her left leg, and stomped down.

With a dull thud, Shi Ji stomped and crushed the Metal Tyrant's head.

Her feet trembled slightly.

A powerful shockwave erupted, shattering the remaining shell of the Metal Tyrant into dust.

This metal tyrant perished on the spot.

Seeing the Metal Tyrant dead, Shi Ji showed a satisfied expression.

She threw all of the Metal Tyrant's corpse into the Five Poisons Cave.

Shiji continued on her journey.

Half a day later.

She stopped in a desolate wasteland.

Powerful creatures appeared in the wasteland ahead.

Those were giant apes.

Each giant ape was tens of thousands of feet tall, with a robust body, long arms, and its entire body was shrouded in black demonic mist. The mist exuded a chilling aura, clearly indicating that these giant apes were highly poisonous.

Shi Ji felt a strong sense of crisis.

These giant apes possessed terrifying combat power.

These are.

Shi Ji frowned, carefully examining these giant apes.

Suddenly, she remembered some records about this giant ape.

These giant apes are said to be called Dark Demon Apes.

The ancestors of the Dark Demon Apes once descended upon the Tianwu Continent to wage war, and these giant apes are a branch of the Dark Demon Apes.

The Dark Demon Ape has a long lifespan and is quite powerful.

Shi Ji had encountered many dark demon apes in a certain mountain forest, and those dark demon apes had the same aura as the ones in front of her.

Upon discovering Shi Ji, these dark demonic apes immediately roared, sensing a strong life force emanating from her.

This life force fluctuation is fatally attractive to the Dark Demon Ape clan.

"Could there be a Dark Heart here? Otherwise, why would it attract so many Dark Demon Apes?" Shi Ji's eyes gleamed.

If that's the case, then we'll make a fortune.

The Dark Demon Ape is not an ordinary evil creature, but an extremely rare evil creature. Once it devours the Dark Demon Ape's original bloodline...

Shiji will surely be able to undergo a complete transformation.

"Youngster, hand over the Heart of Darkness, and I'll spare your life; otherwise, you're doomed!"

The leader of the dark demon apes fixed its cold gaze on Shi Ji.

"The Heart of Darkness? You've come for the Heart of Darkness? So, the Heart of Darkness must be an extremely precious treasure?"

"That's right, the Heart of Darkness can help us advance our strength to another level! So today we must obtain the Heart of Darkness! Kid, hand it over obediently! We might spare your life!"

The leading dark ape looked at Shi Ji with an indifferent expression.

Shi Ji grinned and said, "In that case, let's settle this with our skills!"

"Boy, I advise you not to make a mistake. The power of us is beyond your imagination!"

The leading dark ape stared coldly at Shi Ji, seemingly not taking her seriously.

Or rather, they viewed the rocks as nothing more than ants.

That feeling is correct, after all, these dark demonic apes are all at the quasi-immortal level.

Shi Ji's cultivation level is indeed too low. Even if she breaks through to the Quasi-Immortal level, so what?
It's far from being a true fairyland.

Shi Ji remained calm and said indifferently, "Enough with the nonsense, let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped forward and charged towards the dark demon apes, intending to deal with some of them first.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they seized the Heart of Darkness. The dark apes pounced on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji holds a stone sword.

A sword slashed out.

Clanging sounds echoed through the sky as Shi Ji swung her stone sword, cleaving the three-headed dark ape in two.

The other dark apes were swept away and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

The leading dark ape roared and pounced on Shi Ji, intending to join forces with the other dark apes to kill her.

But Shi Ji's attacks were even more domineering, with dense sword energy surrounding her body.

Those sword energies.

It slashed in all directions, cleaving the dark demonic apes in two, reducing them to nothingness.

Ultimately, the group of dark apes chose to flee.

They understood the formidable strength of the stone cliffs; staying to fight would surely mean certain death.

Therefore, I plan to temporarily avoid confrontation.

This is the best strategy; preserving one's life is the most important thing.

"You think you can just leave? It's not that easy." Shi Ji's face was filled with a chilling murderous intent.

She gave chase, while pursuing the Dark Demon Ape.

Shi Ji unleashed a powerful curse.

Green smoke immediately billowed from the bodies of the dark demon apes.

Screams came and went.

One after another, the dark demonic apes howled in agony, then collapsed to the ground, convulsing for a moment before dying.

In the blink of an eye, all 120+ Dark Demon Apes were killed.

Shi Ji took out the Heart of Darkness.

The Heart of Darkness is crystal clear, like a bead carved from crystal.

It exudes an aura of mystery and unpredictability.

"What an amazing treasure! It can not only enhance magical power, but also temper the physical body and even strengthen both magical power and physical strength!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She left quickly; the blood of these dark demonic apes contained dark demonic runes.

Although those dark runes were very well hidden and difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect, Shi Ji had cultivated the Destiny Rune among the nine ancient runes, which enabled her to discover the dark runes.

The dark runes contain the characteristics of the Dark Demon Ape.

It can affect the mind of human cultivators and even interfere with their memories.

This ability is very strange, but it is extremely powerful.

Shi Ji found a secluded spot.

I began researching the Heart of Darkness.

The energy contained within the Heart of Darkness is incredibly violent.

She attempted to integrate the energy of the Heart of Darkness into her own body.

Sure enough, when Shi Ji's magic was injected into the Heart of Darkness...

Instantly, a vast, ocean-like power surged into his body.

This immense energy surged in, quickly nourishing and cleansing the body.

It is a truly wondrous process that makes Shi Ji's body become increasingly pure.

She continued to temper her body with the energy of the Heart of Darkness.

When the Dark Emperor bestowed the Heart of Darkness upon Shi Ji, she never had time to temper her body, but now she has the leisure.

He then used the Heart of Darkness to temper his physical body.

Months passed in a flash.

The Heart of Darkness has been completely consumed by Shi Ji.

Shiji has reaped considerable rewards over the past year.

It not only perfected the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

He also comprehended the fifth of the five techniques.

Shi Ji named the fifth technique the Five Dragon Wheel.

This Five Dragon Wheel technique is extremely powerful, and its power is astonishing when unleashed.

However, we need to prepare and build up our strength.

Thorough preparation is required...

However, the process of building up strength should not be rushed.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to unleash the strongest combat state.

This matter greatly troubled Shiji.

Shi Ji's current level of understanding is still relatively low.

However, even though her cultivation level was still shallow, Shi Ji's foundation was still exceptionally solid.

Shi Ji continued to comprehend the sixth technique: the technique of emptiness and non-duality.

The Void Technique is an extremely powerful supernatural art.

The Void Technique allows one to merge into the void.

Of course, the Void Technique has many advantages, such as the ability to change one's own aura.

For example, it can conceal its presence and launch surprise attacks, and so on.

However, the Void Technique also has its flaws.

After cultivating the Void Technique to a high level, one will enter a weakened state.

Moreover, this period of weakness will last for about half an hour.

Within half an hour.

Everything will feel incredibly difficult.

While mastering the Void Law Technique to a high level does indeed bring many limitations, Shi Ji couldn't care less about that at the moment.

Although the Void Law Technique is powerful, it has drawbacks, and Shi Ji can only try her best to overcome these shortcomings.

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye.

A year has quietly passed.

Shi Ji condensed a total of fifty Dark Hearts.

This greatly excited Shi Ji; a full fifty Dark Hearts!

Shi Ji felt that her combat strength should be able to break through to the "peak of the eighth level of the Saint Immortal Realm".

Reaching the "seventh level of the Saint Immortal Realm" is a sure thing.

Shi Ji devoured and refined the entire Heart of Darkness, then flew deeper into the darkness.

Other dark creatures also inhabit the Dark Ape's lair.

After Shi Ji used her time-space travel ability, all those dark creatures were easily destroyed by her.

Shi Ji continued deeper into the valley, and after about a day, the space ahead suddenly opened up.

A gigantic cave came into view.

A dark heart floats above that giant cave.

"Haha, I have finally collected all the Hearts of Darkness."

Upon seeing the dark heart suspended in mid-air, Shi Ji smiled.

This Dark Heart is the most supreme Dark Heart.

The energy within this Dark Heart is extremely vast, and it is estimated that it can help me break through to the peak of the eighth level of the Saint Immortal realm, if combined with my various methods.

Perhaps he could break through the ninth level of the Saint Immortal realm, or even the Immortal Lord realm. Of course, breaking through to the Immortal King level is not impossible.

Shi Ji approached the Dark Heart and reached out to grab it.

But as soon as Shi Ji touched the Heart of Darkness, clusters of light began to emanate from within it.

The halos of light intertwined to form a jet-black chain.

The chains coiled around the rock.

Shi Ji quickly dodged to avoid being entangled in the chains.

He punched the chain.

A violent collision suddenly rang out.

The rocky isolating and pushed back dozens of meters.

The chain snapped instantly.

Shi Ji was secretly surprised; there was actually a guardian here?
His eyes narrowed slightly.

The appearance of a guardian implies something.

The journey ahead will undoubtedly be fraught with danger, and we may encounter even more terrifying beasts, or even ferocious birds and beasts we have never seen before.

However, Shiji did not stop exploring this area.

He continued flying inward.

A day later, Shiji suffered a calamity when she was attacked by a swarm of poisonous insects.

Those were a group of poisonous scorpions.

A total of 3,600.

Each scorpion possesses terrifying attack power.

Moreover, their defenses are extremely strong. (End of Chapter)
