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

The others shared this view, after all, it was indeed somewhat unbelievable that Shi Ji, at such a young age, could have cultivation comparable to a quasi-Immortal King.

"Hmph! So what if he's a prodigy? He still can't escape death!"

"Excellent! This brat must be killed today!"

The crowd looked coldly at Shi Ji, their eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

They were not afraid of Shi Ji, and although Shi Ji was highly skilled, she was not good at direct combat.

These people are naturally fearless.

"Boy, I advise you to surrender now, so as not to waste each other's time. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Heh, I'd like to see how ruthless you'll be?" Shi Ji sneered.

Li Zhong said indifferently, "Since you are so stubborn, I will show you what I am capable of!"

"Demon-Suppressing Seal! World-Destroying Thunder Sword Technique!"

Li Zhong shouted in a deep voice.

Make a hand seal with both hands.

In an instant, a magical artifact shot out.

It was an ancient seal.

This seal is named "Ancient Seal for Suppressing Souls".

The magical artifact emitted a destructive aura.

After the Soul-Suppressing Ancient Seal flew out from mid-air, it crashed straight down towards the rocky islet.

The void shattered instantly.

The power of this strike was absolutely terrifying.

Shi Ji unleashed the Mountain and River Map to resist the attack of the Soul-Suppressing Ancient Seal, but the power of that ancient seal was simply too overwhelming.

The map depicting mountains, rivers, and the state was violently shaken.

A cracking sound rang out, and cracks appeared on the surface of the scroll.

"Suppress this man!"

Seeing that the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" could not withstand the power of Li Zhong's ancient seal for suppressing the soul, the others shouted in protest.

Those people rushed towards the rocky shore, intending to surround and attack it.

Shi Ji's right foot is placed on the map of mountains and rivers.

The treasure map floated above their heads, casting down rays of brilliant light to protect the rocky islet.

The attacks from the crowd crashed into the landscape painting.

The treasure map was subjected to a tremendous impact and shook violently once again.

Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Young master, I'm here to help you!"

At that moment, one of Shi Ji's servants stepped forward and immediately leaped into the battle.

"Young master has shown me kindness as deep as a mountain. Even if I am shattered to pieces today, I am willing to help you wipe out these scumbags!"

Shi Ji's servant gritted his teeth and said, then took out a long sword and charged towards the cultivators.

Li Zhong sneered and threw a punch at Shi Ji's servant.

The two clashed violently.

With a soft thud, the chest of Shi Ji's servant was pierced.

His chest exploded open.

"The young master has treated me very well; I have no regrets even if I die today!"

After the servant finished speaking, he grabbed the jade bracelet covered in runes.

He then tossed the jade bracelet to Shiji.

“My good brother, don’t forget what you promised me. I will take good care of your parents.”

Shi Ji took a deep breath and accepted the servant's remains.

"Your death is nigh!"

Li Zhong grinned maliciously and waved his hand, causing the Ancient Soul-Suppressing Seal to envelop Shi Ji.

Shi Ji coldly shouted and swept her spear across the Ancient Soul-Suppressing Seal.

A loud, clanging sound suddenly rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

Shi Ji felt a sharp pain in her tiger's mouth and was knocked back several feet. Her right arm trembled uncontrollably. Her physical body was truly sturdy, and her right arm bore the power of three thousand dragons and elephants.

Those three thousand dragon-elephant arms are enough to destroy the vast majority of things throughout the ages.

However, the Soul-Suppressing Ancient Seal still injured Shi Ji's right arm.

This seal is indeed an extremely powerful magic weapon.

Li Zhong and his group were clearly well-prepared. All of them possessed formidable cultivation, especially the old man, who was terrifyingly powerful.

The fighting strength of Li Zhong and his men is absolutely terrifying.

When these people unite, they can indeed create an overwhelming force.

But Shi Ji showed no fear.

Because she holds many trump cards.

For example, the Poison Ancestor of the Five Poisons Immortal Sect.

For example, the many treasures on Shi Ji's body.

For example, her stone doppelganger.

For example, the Corpse Legion, etc.

Shi Ji was confident that she could defeat Li Zhong and his men simply by summoning a stone golem to join the battle.

Shi Ji summoned her stone doll clone and said, "Go and destroy that Li Zhong for me!"

"Yes, Master!"

The stone figure nodded, then soared into the sky.

Its body is enormous, as majestic as an iron tower.

After the stone figure appeared, it headed towards Li Zhong.

"What? This human kid actually possesses such a huge zombie puppet!"

Upon seeing the stone man's clone appear, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Zombies? These creatures love to devour powerful beings to enhance themselves!"

Li Zhong said in a deep voice, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He did not activate the Soul-Suppressing Ancient Seal to attack Shiji again.

Instead, he used his powerful supernatural abilities to deal with the stone man's clone.

Li Zhong possesses nine extraordinary and bizarre supernatural abilities, each containing extremely destructive energy.

Nine supernatural powers surged towards the stone man's clone, their power terrifying.

With a series of violent collisions, all nine divine powers slammed into the stone man's clone.

Those supernatural powers struck his body fiercely, yet the stone man's clone remained unharmed.

This item's defensive capabilities are truly extraordinary.

Shi Ji couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; the stone man's clone was far too powerful, so powerful that it was unbelievable.

The stone figure stepped toward Li Zhong.

Li Zhong's face was extremely gloomy; the existence of the stone man clone was far too terrifying.

Even though he had been in the Imperial Realm for many years.

They also lacked confidence in defeating the stone golem's clone.

He turned and ran away.

Li Zhong transformed into a streak of light, attempting to escape from this place.

The stone figure's clone moved even faster, quickly catching up.

In the blink of an eye, they had caught up with Li Zhong.

The stone figure opened its mouth and spewed out a plume of black smoke.

Dense runes condensed within the black smoke.

The runes entangled Li Zhong.

The stone figure's clone struck Li Zhong with a palm, instantly blasting him away.

Li Zhong fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He struggled to his feet, glaring venomously at the stone figure's clone.

Li Zhong then bit his finger and drew a rune in the air.

He muttered something to himself, and then...

The rune flew out and was directly imprinted on Li Zhong's forehead.

next moment.

An eerie luster flickered between Li Zhong's brows.

What is this?

Seeing the sudden change in Li Zhong, many cultivators around him looked puzzled.

I wonder what the purpose of those runes is.

"Shiji! You are doomed!"

Li Zhong grinned maliciously, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace.

He seems to have reached some kind of agreement with a mysterious powerful figure, and at this moment he has gained great power. His body is even gradually transforming into another kind of being.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you act quickly and kill Shi Ji? Do you want me to do it myself?"

Li Zhong roared angrily.

"Yes! Master!"

The remaining six powerful figures responded in unison, and then rushed towards the stone golem clone, intending to attack it together.

Of these eight people, apart from Li Zhong, the other seven all had cultivation levels at least at the peak of the Saint Emperor realm.

With so many powerful figures and the Soul-Suppressing Ancient Seal, the Stone Golem clone is bound to be in grave danger. "Stone Golem Clone! Kill!"

With a wave of her hand, Shi Ji sent her stone clone rushing toward the eight powerful figures.

The two sides fought fiercely. Although the stronger ones had a numerical advantage, the stone golem clones were too powerful, and they were no match for them.

Shi Ji summoned a magical artifact, the "Immortal-Slaying Sword," a demonic weapon she had once seized from the Demon Realm.

He activated the sword, instantly breaking through a cultivator's defenses; the sword light flashed and cleaved straight at the cultivator's head.

The cultivator's neck snapped instantly, and he died on the spot.

Li Zhong turned deathly pale and cried out in shock.

At this moment, Shi Ji urged the stone figure to dash towards Li Zhong.

Li Zhong was so frightened that he turned and fled.

Unfortunately, the stone man's clone was extremely fast, instantly blocking his path and striking down with a palm.

With a thud, the palm struck Li Zhong.

A cracking sound rang out as Li Zhong was sent flying by a palm strike, half of his cheek caved in.

Shi Ji's gaze was icy—if it weren't for the stone man's clone blocking everyone in time, she would probably have been suppressed.

However, the stone figure not only withstood the attack, but also destroyed Li Zhong's cultivation.

"Spare me, spare me! I'll submit, I just want to live..." Li Zhong pleaded pitifully.

This person is an opportunist; at this moment, he is begging for mercy and yielding.

"Hmph, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Shi Ji said coldly, her expression indifferent. "Kneel down and repent, swear allegiance to me! Otherwise, you will only face death!"

"Very well, I submit! From this day forward, I will follow you, be your slave and servant, and obey your every command!"

Shi Ji flicked her wrist, and a dagger flew out, aiming straight for Li Zhong's dantian.

"You actually crippled my cultivation!"

Li Zhong screamed in agony.

Shi Ji sneered, "So what if I cripple you? Now that you've lost all your cultivation, you still have to obey me!"

I curse you to die a horrible death and suffer a terrible end!

Li Zhong roared with resentment and malice, his voice gradually weakening until he finally breathed his last.

His dying curse was chilling.

With Li Zhong dead, the remaining eight cultivators dared not linger and fled in disarray.

Shi Ji put away Li Zhong's storage ring and examined its contents.

He took out several jade tubes to examine them; they contained numerous details, including the various riches that Li Zhong had amassed.

This beast is indeed extremely greedy.

Shi Ji carefully put away the jade tube, then looked at the stone figure and asked, "What should we do now? We need to return to Evil Dragon City as soon as possible, otherwise we may face great danger!"

The stone figure nodded and immediately rushed back to Evil Dragon City with Shi Ji.

A large army has gathered in the city and is attacking the Evil Dragon Palace.

The arrival of Shi Ji and the stone man's clones immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Greetings, Yunheng! Greetings, Ancestor Shi!"

Everyone bowed in greeting.

"You've all worked hard!"

Shi Ji returned the greeting with clasped hands, and then flew into the depths with the stone man's clone.

Looking towards the Evil Dragon Palace, one can see many cultivators attacking it. However, the palace's restrictions are extremely powerful, and even with the combined efforts of many strong cultivators, it remains difficult to breach.

Shi Ji frowned, knowing that this hall must hold a great secret.

He and the stone figure quickly approached and entered the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Shi Ji sensed a familiar fluctuation, and her mind jolted.

Could this stock fluctuation be related to me?
He tried to activate a special mark within his body, but found that he could not activate it.

"Huh, it's surprising that Yun Heng can actually activate that special mark within his body."

At this moment, the stone man's clone looked at Shi Ji with surprise, because it sensed the fluctuation of the mark.

Shi Ji said, "I do have this mark in my body."

The stone figure's clone said, "I see."

He nodded slightly and continued, "I need to leave for a moment. I will resolve this crisis as soon as possible and then meet up with you again!"

After saying this, the stone figure vanished without a trace.

Shi Ji then headed deeper into the palace.

Within this evil dragon palace, there seems to be a terrifying being buried.

This being was once a great emperor of the Nine Provinces.

Breaking through the blockade and restrictions they have set up will not be easy.

Shi Ji was fully aware of this.

He unleashed five times his battle power, aided by runes condensed from the Three Thousand Great Daos, and finally broke through the seal and restriction, then rushed out of the Evil Dragon Palace.

"Yun Heng! Yun Heng!"

At this moment, two maids came running from a distance and excitedly shouted when they saw Shiji.

"This servant knows that Yun Heng is still alive, this servant knows..."

The two women wept with joy, their tears flowing freely, clearly overwhelmed with concern and fear for Shiji's safety, hence their tearful cries.

Shi Ji said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Thank God! God has protected us!"

The two maids said excitedly, pulling Shiji forward while wiping away tears.

Shi Ji said, "Let's leave this place first."

The two maids nodded repeatedly and led Shiji away at high speed.

The three quickly left the city.

After they left, two black mists appeared in the void. They were shadows formed from ghostly energy and exuded a cold aura.

One of the shadowy figures said, "This person has many secrets. His bloodline, soul, and even the vital energy within his body are all related to my underworld."

"Your Majesty, since he possesses the aura of my Underworld, may I devour his bloodline and merge with his body?"

Another voice resounded through the void.

"Not yet. Although this person has Netherworld blood, he has not completely transformed into Netherworld blood. And the transformation of Netherworld blood is slow and difficult to complete in the short term. However, I have sensed an aura approaching our area."

The eerie aura spoke in a sinister tone: "Have the cultivators of this realm already noticed this? What are they searching for?"

The voice that had spoken earlier said, "I don't know, but it should be a treasure. Whatever it is looking for, let's wait and see. If we can seize this child's body, we can obtain a powerful one."

The two eerie voices exchanged words for a moment before gradually fading away.

Shi Ji and her two maids had reached the outskirts of the city when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and headed towards a forest behind them.

Dark, eerie energy swirled in the forest, creating a strange atmosphere.

"Where is this place?" The two maids looked at Shiji in confusion.

Shi Ji did not answer, but went straight into the depths of the valley.

Upon reaching the deepest part, a coffin was found placed inside.

Inside the coffin lay a young man, his body stiff, but his face was lifelike. He wore a golden robe and looked heroic and extraordinary.

"Yunheng, do you know this gentleman?" The two maids looked at Shiji in surprise, not expecting to meet an old friend here.

“I do not know him, but I suspect he is trapped here and still asleep. I wish to awaken this friend.”

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the two maids immediately showed joy.

The person who could get Yunheng to save must be someone he values ​​highly.

The two maids quickly stepped aside and looked towards the rocky islet.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged beside the coffin, extended her right palm and pressed it against the coffin, pouring her magical power into it.

He tried to wake the cultivator inside the coffin, but no matter how hard he tried, the other party remained unconscious.

Shi Ji frowned; it seemed that waking this person would not be an easy task.

He frowned, and after a moment withdrew his right palm.

"Yunheng, how is it? Has this senior already passed away?" the two maids asked.

Shi Ji shook her head and sighed softly: "This person's physical body died early, and his soul was suppressed in something within his body, so his soul is eternal. It will take a long time to awaken him."

Upon hearing this, both maids stared in disbelief.

The soul was actually suppressed within the body?

"Yun Heng is truly amazing!"

The two maids looked up at the rock with reverence.

Shi Ji said, "Alright, let's leave this place first and come with me."

"Yes, Yunheng!" the two maids replied, following behind him.

Half a day later, Shi Ji flew out of the mountains with two maids.

He summoned four ancient ships, which he had acquired in the past when he had wiped out pirates, and now they came in handy.

Four boats took off and carried Shi Ji and her two maids into the distance.

Halfway there.

The two maids took their leave.

They decided to return to the royal territory of Qingyang Kingdom.

After all, the royal family is currently in a critical situation, and they must go back to take care of the deceased young lady.

Shi Ji headed straight for the Northern Sea.

now.

Dark clouds surged and lightning flashed in the Northern Sea.

The entire ocean seemed to have transformed into a land of apocalypse, teeming with ferocious beasts and demons of terrifying numbers. (End of Chapter)
