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

"Boom, boom, boom."

The deafening roars, like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, continued to resound.

Endless demonic energy surged forth, obscuring the sky.

A terrifying evil spirit appeared, howling towards the sky.

The evil spirit's body was simply too enormous.

It opened its enormous, blood-red maw and began to devour downwards.

That area was instantly torn apart.

A group of cultivators fled out.

But before the group of cultivators could even celebrate, they were instantly devoured by the evil spirit.

"I have finally broken through the Yin-Yang realm! From this day forward, I will no longer be tormented by the power of the curse!"

The evil spirit let out a hearty laugh.

Its gaze was cold and bloodthirsty, radiating a chilling killing intent.

"You hateful thing! Once I regain my former glory, I will devour you, you ant, and avenge my clan's heroes!"

The evil spirit roared in fury.

It swiftly darted deeper into the area, intending to continue hunting cultivators to increase its strength.

This evil spirit is extremely terrifying, and because of its unique shape, it is very difficult to deal with.

But Shi Ji didn't take it seriously and charged forward with the Black Dragon Sword in hand.

He swung the Black Dragon Sword at the evil spirit.

A loud crash followed.

The evil spirit was forced back several steps.

"You're asking for death, you brat!"

The evil spirit looked indifferently at Shi Ji, then raised its right arm and slammed it towards Shi Ji.

The evil spirit's right arm grew enormous, like a towering pillar, and swept towards Shi Ji.

Sensing the terror of the evil spirit's attack, Shi Ji hurriedly dodged.

She unleashed the Three Thousand Weak Water Fist at the evil spirit.

Shi Ji's unique skill is extremely powerful, and even an Emperor-level being would find it difficult to withstand its sharpness.

Moreover, this is an evil spirit.

Shi Ji's martial arts technique consumes a great deal of energy.

Although it can harm evil spirits, it only causes them slight pain.

Defeating the evil spirit is utterly impossible.

The evil spirit snorted coldly and then quickly pounced on Shi Ji.

The evil spirit was incredibly fast.

Like a ghost, it arrived at the rocky shore in the blink of an eye.

It slammed its palm down on Shi Ji, sending her flying.

Shi Ji fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Heh heh, junior, your tricks are utterly pathetic in my eyes!"

The evil spirit grinned maliciously.

Shi Ji got up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sneered, "My fist technique has consumed a lot of energy, so I will not fight you for now. I will fight you, you beast, after I have recovered my energy. Let's see who can survive to the end."

Shi Ji turned and left.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy! Just surrender obediently!"

The evil spirit let out a sinister laugh and chased after Shi Ji.

Shi Ji raised her array flag and set up a spirit-gathering array. Then she sat cross-legged and began to use the Heaven-Mending Technique to heal her injuries.

The Heaven-Mending Technique was indeed incredibly powerful. After Shi Ji's energy and blood had mostly recovered, she stood up and looked at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit's body gradually became ethereal.

It is using its supernatural powers to counteract the effects of the Spirit Gathering Array.

The evil spirits do not seem to have completely escaped.

The Spirit Gathering Array affected it, significantly slowing its speed.

now.

Shi Ji stepped forward, leaped into the air, and charged towards the evil spirit.

Shi Ji swung the Black Dragon Sword at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit reacted extremely quickly, extending its claws.

It reached out and grabbed at Shiji.

A violent metallic vibration sound rang out.

Both were forced back by the other's force.

Shiji used the thrust generated by this clash to widen the distance.

The evil spirit rushed toward the rocky islet.

Shi Ji once again summoned the Spirit Gathering Array, and the evil spirit's form immediately froze.

Shi Ji pressed her advantage, quickly closing in on the evil spirit, and then unleashed a Heaven-Mending Technique at its chest.

The cracking sounds of bones breaking echoed one after another.

The evil spirit's bones were broken in several places.

It let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, struggling to get up, but just as it managed to stand up, it collapsed again.

The evil spirit couldn't help but show an expression of extreme terror, knowing that it had been completely defeated by Shi Ji.

These lowly ants are far too powerful.

This battle was the most humiliating one the evil spirit had ever faced in its life.

Shi Ji looked down at the evil spirit from her high vantage point, saying, "Surrender or die now, the choice is yours!"
"Hehehehe, you think you can enslave me? You're delusional! If you dare to enslave me, I'll explode my body, and you won't get away with it!"

The evil spirit said with a strange laugh.

It exuded an overwhelming aura of ferocity, causing Shi Ji to frown.

"Since you refuse to surrender, then we have no choice but to send you on your way!"

Shi Ji coldly looked at the evil spirit.

She prepared to kill this scoundrel.

Just then, a deep voice suddenly came.

As this sound rang out, the surrounding void distorted.

Then a man in black robes appeared in the void.

Upon seeing the man in black robes, the evil spirit's eyes suddenly lit up.

It knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Dark King!"

"Greetings, Dark Lord."

The remaining ferocious beasts all knelt on the ground.

Even the ferocious beast injured by Shi Ji knelt on the ground, clearly indicating that the Dark King was extremely important to it, hence the fear these beasts had of him.

The Dark King asked indifferently, "What is it?"

The evil spirit said, "Reporting to the Dark King, this man has killed my tribesmen!"

"What? You're saying he killed your people?" The Dark King looked at Shi Ji in disbelief.

"Indeed! This man is utterly wicked! I beg the Dark King to help me slay this fiend!"

"The evil spirit said through gritted teeth."

Its venomous gaze was fixed on the rocky islet.

He wished he could kill Shi Ji immediately.

The Dark King said indifferently, "Lead your people and retreat. I have something to discuss with this person privately!"

The evil spirit responded respectfully.

He then led his many ferocious beasts away.

After those evil spirits retreated.

A cold glint flashed in the Dark King's eyes as he walked step by step toward Shi Ji.

"You killed my people, and now I will make you pay with your life!"

The Dark King sneered and struck Shi Ji with his palm.

Faced with the Dark King's terrifying attack, Shi Ji's face turned grim.

She also struck out with her palm, and the two attacks clashed fiercely at the same spot.

"Boom!"

A violent collision resounded, and two earth-shattering shockwaves surged into the air. Shi Ji was blasted away by the Dark King's palm strike.

Shi Ji coughed up large amounts of blood.

She was severely injured, her face was deathly pale, her whole body was trembling, and her internal organs seemed to be about to collapse.

But Shi Ji did not admit defeat. She quickly regained her footing and continued to attack the Dark King.

This Dark King was far more terrifying than Shi Ji had anticipated, and he easily suppressed her.

even so.

Shi Ji remained fearless.

She was determined to fight to the bitter end.

Shi Ji's insane will even moved the evil spirits.

It sensed a fearless spirit in Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's entire body.

It seemed to be shrouded in a kind of demonic aura.

"What kind of will is this?" The Dark King couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was filled with doubt.

The Dark King was unaware of the lineage or doctrine practiced by Shi Ji.

But he knew that Shiji's lineage must be extraordinary, otherwise how could Shiji possess such terrifying combat power?
"I'll teach you a lesson today, you ungrateful wretch!"

The Dark King sneered repeatedly, unleashing one attack after another.

Every move.

All of them contained the earth-shattering power of stone. One collision after another was heard, the Dark King's offensive grew fiercer, and Shi Ji's situation became more and more difficult.

Finally, after hundreds of attacks from the Dark King, Shi Ji was knocked to the ground.

Then the Dark King stepped on Shi Ji and said with a cold laugh, "My strength is far greater than you imagine!"

Shi Ji's face turned ashen. Ignoring the Dark King's provocation, she coldly looked at him and said, "Your evil spirits' methods are truly unbelievable, but you are still far from being able to deal with me!"

The Dark King sneered, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Since that's the case, I'll destroy your foundation and then refine your body into a puppet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark King exerted a slight force with his right hand.

The sound of bones breaking came from Shi Ji's body, indicating that her bones had probably been crushed by the Dark King.

"Youngster, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot escape the fate of being turned into a puppet!"

The Dark King grinned maliciously.

"How dare you bully me like this, Shiji?"

Shi Ji roared and activated the Sovereign Emperor Mark.

An ancient rune flew out from its body.

The rune instantly merged with the Dark King's body.

The Dark King's expression changed drastically. He tried to retract the rune from his body, but was horrified to find that after the rune merged with him, he could no longer sever the connection with it.

This rune.

What exactly is it? And why can it control his body?
The Dark King was utterly shocked.

His eyes were fixed on Shiji.

Shi Ji remained indifferent, and said coldly, "You want to destroy my foundation? Too bad! You are destined to fail!"

"Now I will tell you something! Only the Sovereign Emperor Mark in this world can restrain you evil beings! Because the Sovereign Emperor Mark can devour the power that escapes from your bodies!"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the Dark King's expression turned serious.

He found that what Shi Ji said made a lot of sense.

Although Shiji's cultivation is still shallow.

However, the lineage she leads is indeed extremely powerful.

Who is Master Shiji?

That must be an existence that amazes all time.

The lineage of doctrines he left behind.

It must be a treasure that countless forces would fight over.

"So the lineage you control is called the Sovereign Emperor Mark! But even if your Sovereign Emperor Mark can devour my power, I can still kill you!"

The Dark King's face was extremely gloomy.

He quickly changed hand seals.

Then the Dark King punched Shi Ji.

The power of darkness condensed into a giant fist imprint and slammed towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji felt as if her entire mind was imprisoned.

The Dark King's punch contains terrifying power, enough to easily destroy everything.

"Overlord Fist!"

Shi Ji unleashed her domineering fist.

The Dao of Shiji is incorporated into the Overlord Fist.

The sheer power of this technique is truly astonishing.

Shi Ji swung her Overlord Fist and clashed violently with the Dark King's attack. After Shi Ji blocked the Dark King's offensive, the power of the Overlord Fist surged into the Dark King's body. The Dark King immediately felt an invisible force invading his body and beginning to devour his own life force.

The Dark King's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly activated his divine power to try and get rid of the devouring force.

But it's simply impossible to do.

The Dark King's cultivation was indeed incredibly powerful.

But even a powerful figure like the Dark King couldn't do anything to Shi Ji, who was just an "ant".

"Damn it, what kind of lineage is this?" the Dark King roared in fury.

If one does not quickly break free from the corrosive influence of the Shiji Taoist tradition on the body...

His physical body will surely perish.

"Hehe, this is no ordinary lineage! It is the most supreme ruler-emperor lineage!"

Shi Ji said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing the words "Dominator of the Imperial Lineage," the Dark King's expression changed drastically.

"The Sovereign Imperial Lineage?"

The Dark King couldn't help but gasp.

The Dark Lord has lived for a very long time and has a good understanding of all the forces at play.

And they dominate the imperial lineage.

It is said to be the imperial lineage left behind by the most mysterious and unpredictable supreme emperor.

The former supreme emperor once led his army to conquer many extraterrestrial worlds, even destroying the Immortal Realm.

It can be described as incredibly powerful.

The Supreme Emperor has been gone for many years.

However, the legends about the Supreme Emperor have continued to circulate throughout history.

The Dark Lord clearly also knew about the Overlord.

He had heard of the mighty name of the Supreme Emperor and knew that the Supreme Emperor had once been invincible throughout the three thousand realms, intimidating all races and heavens, and ruling over the three thousand realms.

The ruling imperial lineage represents everything.

This child.

How could he have obtained the Emperor's lineage?

No wonder she possesses such heaven-defying supernatural powers; it turns out she carries the imperial lineage of the supreme emperor.

"You brat! I'm taking your life!"

The Dark King let out a sinister laugh, then opened his large hand.

The void twists and deforms.

Under the control of the Dark Lord, a sea of ​​curses surged forth from the Dark Gate and rushed towards Shiji.

"Heh heh, this Dark King really underestimates me, doesn't he?"

Shi Ji let out a cold laugh. She strode forward and charged straight into the depths of the Dark Gate. The cursed sea summoned by the Dark King had no effect on Shi Ji.

The Dark King could hardly believe what he was seeing.

It was extremely strange that Shi Ji was completely unaffected by the Sea of ​​Curses.

Shiji was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, they passed through the gate of darkness.

On the other side of the Dark Gate was the Dark World. After arriving in the Dark World, Shi Ji rushed straight towards the Dark King's palace.

The Dark King's palace was built atop the Dark Demon Mountain.

Dark Demon Mountain was shrouded in rolling demonic clouds, and countless corpses could be vaguely seen emerging from the demonic mist.

Each corpse was enormous and horrifying.

Shi Ji's face was full of a grim expression.

The Dark King's Palace was likely the place where the White Jade Toad, Blood Dragon Worm, and others were imprisoned.

Shi Ji arrived at the palace.

Inside a room, she saw the White Jade Toad, the Poison Ancestor, the Evil Saint, and others.

There was also a group of suppressed cultivators.

Those people were all in very bad condition.

Many of the female cultivators, in particular, were on the verge of death and covered in wounds.

Moreover, they did not seem to be servants of the Dark King, but rather delicious prey kept by him.

Shi Ji's gaze fell on a young man who was tied to the bed.

The boy was thin.

However, his head is quite large.

It also has two horns on its head that resemble cow horns.

He is the white jade toad.

"Young master, save me! Please save me!"

Upon seeing the stone, the white jade toad was extremely excited.

Shi Ji looked at the white jade toad bound to the bed and asked, "Where are the others?"

"They were captured by the Dark King, and their fate is now unknown!" the white jade toad hurriedly replied.

"Sure?"

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It's absolutely true! Young master, you must be careful of the Dark King. He is extremely powerful, and you are no match for him. You should leave immediately!"

The white jade toad cried out anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Shi Ji said.

The white jade toad's worried gaze fell on Shi Ji, whose words reassured him somewhat.

Since Shi Ji said so, he believed that Shi Ji must have a plan to protect herself.

Shi Ji continued deeper into the area. The Dark King struggled violently to break free of his restraints, but Shi Ji activated the Sovereign Emperor Vein to empower him.

At this moment, the Dark King's body was completely suppressed by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji continued deeper into the area and saw Bai Ze, the demon lord, bound by chains, his mouth open as if roaring.

Shi Ji pulled Bai Ze Demon Lord up from the ground and asked, "Bai Ze Demon Lord, do you know about the matter of the Emperor's Lineage?"

"Dominate the imperial lineage? Isn't that a legendary item?"

Bai Ze, the demon lord, exclaimed in surprise.

"What is the Emperor's Lineage?" Shi Ji asked in confusion.

"Legend has it that the Sovereign Emperor's lineage represents the inheritance of the Sovereign Emperor. The Sovereign Emperor's imperial mark is imprinted on everyone's body. If you can find nine pieces of imperial bone and collect all nine, you can obtain the Sovereign Emperor's lineage!"

Bai Ze, the Demon Lord, said. (End of Chapter)
