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

"Oh, I see! So the three of you are in cahoots with Chu Hanyang! In that case, there's nothing more to say between us!"

Shi Ji remained indifferent and then activated the Heaven-Mending Technique.

With a soft thud, she pierced Chu Hanyang's body with her sword, then smashed his head with a palm strike.

The rocky rocks were moving too fast.

Therefore, when Chu Hanyang was executed.

The other two had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as he fell.

"You little brat, you're asking for it! We'll never let you get away with this!"

Two ghost cultivators roared angrily and pounced on Shi Ji.

They launched their respective offensives.

The beautiful female cultivator stood still and did not move.

Shi Ji moved with incredible speed, instantly dodging the attacks of the two. Then, with a flick of her right sleeve, she unleashed the Epochal Overlord Fist, slamming it fiercely into the ghost cultivator on the left.

A loud crash followed.
The ghost cultivator on the left was swept away by the Epoch Overlord Fist.

He opened his mouth and spat out a large pool of black, stagnant blood.

Shi Ji rushed upwards and used the Heaven-Mending Technique again.

She used the Heaven-Mending Technique a total of eight times, completely shattering the ghost cultivator's body.

The last ghost cultivator sensed the danger.

He turned to flee, but would Shiji let the tiger return to the mountain?
Shi Ji quickly gave chase.

Although this person was also extremely fast, he was no match for Shi Ji, who was using the Heaven-Mending Technique.

He still could not escape the fate of being beheaded.

Shi Ji's sword energy tore through his chest.

His soul was instantly annihilated, and his screams abruptly ceased.

"That's exhilarating! Killing is indeed a delightful thing!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.

She took a step and vanished without a trace.

Hundreds of feet away, the rocky islet appeared out of thin air.

She continued to dart deeper into the area, but soon stopped.

Shi Ji discovered that there were more than ten ghost corpses ahead.

There were also two other remains, which should belong to the ghost clan cultivators.

"The taste of human cultivators is so delicious! Today, the three of us brothers will be able to have a hearty meal!"

A skeletal monster licked its dry lips, revealing an eerie expression.

The other two skeletal monsters had greedy expressions on their faces.

"You want to eat me? You'd better see if you have the ability!"

Shi Ji gave a cold laugh.

He then leaped up and landed on the towering stone platform, took out the Five Dragon Wheel, and launched one magical treasure after another.

The terrifying aura emanating from the Five Dragon Wheels sent chills down the spines of the three skeletal monsters.

They hurriedly unleashed their respective magical treasures and engaged Shi Ji in battle. The power of those three magical treasures was indeed formidable. If Shi Ji had not possessed the Five Dragon Wheel and had not been aided by numerous other magical treasures, it would have been difficult to suppress these three powerful ghost clan members.

Although Shi Ji's magic weapon was powerful, it was no match for these three ghost cultivators.

But Shiji had a way to trap them.

That is the art of mending the heavens.

Once the Heaven-Mending Technique is used, Shi Ji's speed can be greatly increased.

Using the Heaven-Mending Technique, she evaded the attacks of the three powerful figures and then rushed towards them.

Its speed increased rapidly, eventually turning into a blur as it swept towards the three powerful figures.

The three powerful figures also noticed Shi Ji approaching, and all three showed expressions of horror on their faces.

They had not expected Shiji's speed to be so incredible.

The three powerful figures hurriedly unleashed their formidable defensive magic weapons to resist Shi Ji's attack, but even with their extraordinary defensive magic weapons...

She still managed to break through Shi Ji's defenses, and seizing the opportunity, she cleaved the head of a powerful ghost with her sword, instantly severing his head.

Then Shi Ji kicked another powerful ghost, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground some distance away.

At this moment, Shi Ji attacked the third powerful ghost clan member. The ghost clan member was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits and retreated frantically, burning his life essence to escape.

Shi Ji quickly caught up and punched the ghost cultivator in the back.

The ghost cultivator had no chance to resist.

With a loud bang, Shi Ji punched half of his body, causing it to explode.

"Spare me, young master! I'm willing to serve you like a slave, please spare me!"

The ghost cultivator begged for mercy in a pitiful voice.

Shi Ji remained indifferent.

These ghost cultivators are extremely vicious; how could Shi Ji possibly forgive them?
This scoundrel will surely die at her hands.

Shi Ji quickly pursued and slashed at the ghost cultivator with her sword. Just as the sword was about to cleave his head off, at the critical moment...

The void distorted slightly, and a slender young cultivator stepped out from it.

The young cultivator reached out and grabbed the sword that Shi Ji was about to use to strike the ghost cultivator.

"Who are you?"

Shi Ji frowned and looked at the young cultivator who had suddenly appeared.

This man appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with handsome features and dressed in a blue robe, giving him a refined and cultured air.

The young man said, "Boy, you have too much bloodlust. Keeping you alive will only bring endless trouble. Why don't you hand over your storage ring now, and I might spare your life!"

"Want my storage ring? Fine, here you go!"

Shi Ji sneered and tossed out her storage ring. The young cultivator caught the ring and examined its contents.

"Huh, you actually have so many treasures?" the young cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe! There are plenty of good things in this world. If you want them, take them!" Shi Ji said casually.

After putting away his storage ring, the young cultivator said calmly, "These things hold no appeal for me anymore. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to kill them!"

Before he could finish speaking, the young cultivator struck Shi Ji with his palm.

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

The opponent's attack was so powerful that it nearly suffocated Shi Ji.

This fiend's cultivation is truly formidable, even more terrifying than the Yinming Saint King and the Demon Prison Saint Lord we encountered before.

Shi Ji even felt a strong threat of death.

He hurriedly summoned the Five Dragon Wheels to defend himself, but as soon as he activated them, he felt as if he were imprisoned and could no longer mobilize his magical power.

The young cultivator's palm print arrived with a thunderous roar.

Shi Ji was sent flying backward by the terrifying blow, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before regaining his freedom of movement.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Shi Ji looked at the young cultivator with a solemn expression.

He knew that this person's cultivation had probably reached the peak of the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

This level is terrifying. Even though Shi Ji has now broken through to the peak of the sixth level of the Great Saint Realm, the gap between her and the Quasi-Emperor cultivator is still extremely large. Their combat power is not on the same level at all.

Shi Ji felt that he was still lacking in experience to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, but he was confident that one day he would be able to take that step and enter the Quasi-Emperor realm.

The young cultivator glanced at Shi Ji with a mocking look and said indifferently, "Junior, you only have the cultivation of a first-level Great Saint, yet you dare to come looking for immortal stones? I must say, you have quite the nerve!"

"I have never seen you before. Who are you?"

"You are not worthy to know my name. Considering you are somewhat clever, I will spare your life—kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake, and I may spare your life!"

The young cultivator sneered.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's expression suddenly darkened. This person's attitude was far too arrogant; he actually wanted her to kneel down and confess her sins.

Would Shi Ji agree?

Moreover, he sensed a strange power emanating from this young cultivator.

The power seemed to be highly poisonous, and Shi Ji tried to counter it with the Chaos Ancient Lamp, but failed.

This strange power contained a strong paralyzing effect. Shi Ji did not know if it was some kind of specially made poison, but he knew he had to be extremely careful, because everything before him was full of unknowns.

At this moment, dozens more ghost cultivators flew in from afar, rushing to provide support.

Upon seeing Shi Ji, these ghost cultivators all revealed greedy expressions, regarding her as prey, clearly considering her as their own.

"Boy, you can't escape today, so just accept your fate!"

The ghost cultivators stared coldly at Shi Ji, their aura surging and overwhelming.

Shi Ji sneered, "You piece of trash dare to dream of swallowing me? How utterly laughable! I'd like to see how you manage to do it!"

"Boy, you're provoking us! You're courting death!"

"Hmph! I'll make you wish you were dead later!"

The ghost cultivator stared at Shi Ji with an icy expression.

A group of ghost cultivators rushed in to attack.

Shi Ji drew her Black Dragon Spear and swept it horizontally. A series of clanging sounds rang out, and one after another, the ghost cultivators were swept away. Although not killed instantly by Shi Ji, many ghost cultivators were still injured and suffered a calamity.

Shi Ji stepped forward and kicked a ghost cultivator in the chest. A cracking sound of bones breaking immediately rang out, and the cultivator's ribs snapped.

He then struck another ghost cultivator with a punch, instantly killing both ghost cultivators.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ji launched a counterattack against the remaining ghost cultivators, injuring more than forty in total, including five Ghost Emperor-level powerhouses.

Shi Ji then turned to leave—he feared that if he stayed any longer, he might perish there.

"Chase him! We can't let this brat escape! Otherwise, we'll all be doomed!"

The young cultivator shouted sternly.

The other ghost cultivators nodded in agreement.

This place is extremely eerie; no one wants to stay here long.

The ghost cultivators chased after Shi Ji, quickly closing the distance to about a hundred meters.

"You little beast, where do you think you're going to run to!"

The young cultivator grinned maliciously.

Suddenly, Shi Ji stopped, turned around, and narrowed her eyes.

He discovered that the young monk had vanished without a trace.

"You little beast, why did you stop?"

A cold laugh came from behind Shi Ji.

"Heh, so you were hiding in the shadows, planning to ambush me?"

Shi Ji responded coldly.

"Kid, you guessed right! But you're definitely going to die!"

The young cultivator's voice was icy and chilling. As he raised his arm, a sharp dagger appeared from the void.

He leaped forward and thrust his sword towards Shi Ji's neck.

Shi Ji was prepared and struck his wrist with a palm.

With a loud bang, the dagger was knocked away.

However, the young cultivator was too fast, and Shi Ji was still half a beat behind.

The young monk seized the opportunity to slash Shi Ji's shoulder with his dagger.

A deep wound, revealing the bone, appeared; Shi Ji was injured.

This scene shocked the surrounding cultivators who were watching the battle.

"That kid is no match for us; he's probably in for trouble!"

"Yes, even if his physical body is strong, he is still just a human. How could he be a match for this group of ghosts?"

The cultivators were discussing it animatedly.

Although they favored Shiji, if Shiji lost, they would lose a lucrative opportunity.

These people were happy to see Shi Ji defeated and didn't mind taking advantage of the situation.

However, Shi Ji's strength was indeed terrifying, so they did not make a move for the time being, but only wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, and then seize the spoils after Shi Ji was defeated.

"The taste of humans is truly wonderful, and I love the blood of cultivators the most!"

The young cultivator spoke in a sinister tone, and once again drew his dagger to slash at Shi Ji.

At this moment, Shi Ji used her Devouring Technique.

The devouring power within his body circulated, forming a vortex around him and surging out an astonishing suction force.

The devouring power enveloped the young cultivator, and his soul was drawn away, almost escaping his body.

"Huh, what a strange power!"

The young cultivator cried out in surprise, hurriedly urging his magic power to try to break free from the devouring force, but to no avail.

Shi Ji's devouring power has completely locked his soul, and unless Shi Ji voluntarily gives up devouring, he will find it difficult to escape.

However, Shi Ji clearly wouldn't give up easily.

"Who are you?" Shi Ji asked.

He felt that the young cultivator before him was quite similar to a cultivator he had encountered in the Heavenly Realm in the past.

The cultivator I encountered back then also possessed a strange ability: he could devour the essence and blood of others to improve his cultivation level.

Is the person before me the same one from back then?
The young cultivator grinned: "You are not worthy to know my name!"

"Is that so? Then I'll beat you until you're willing to talk!"

"Arrogant! Truly arrogant to the extreme!"

The young cultivator roared to the sky, his eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

He gripped the short blade tightly with both hands and hurled it.

The short blade transformed into a dazzling light, tearing through the air with a whoosh and instantly piercing Shi Ji's chest.

Shi Ji reached out and wiped the blood from her wound, her eyes growing increasingly dangerous.

"What is this thing? It's incredibly powerful."

"This is the Ghost Emperor's Tears, specially crafted to counter human cultivators like you!"

The young cultivator grinned maliciously.

"Oh? Your title must be 'Tears of the Ghost Emperor', right?" Shi Ji said indifferently.

The Ghost Emperor's Tears sound like some kind of special venom, rather than a weapon, yet it contains potent poison.

Shi Ji speculated that this item was a highly poisonous weapon crafted by the young cultivator's father.

"Hmph, how could you, a lowly human, possibly know about my affairs?"

The young cultivator sneered.

Shi Ji's expression darkened, and she slapped the young cultivator.

With a crisp snap of her fingers, Shi Ji slapped him hard across the face.

"Ah!" the young cultivator screamed, his cheeks swelling instantly.

"You lowly ant, how dare you hit me! I will tear you to pieces!"

The young monk roared in anger.

"I hit you!"

Shi Ji spoke indifferently, then rushed in front of him and stomped on his head.

"Boy! You are courting death!"

The young cultivator's expression was ferocious as he punched Shi Ji's right leg, intending to cripple it.

Shi Ji kicked his right leg straight at his iron fist.

A cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the young cultivator's arm instantly shattered.

Shi Ji's right leg was unharmed, and she instead swept a roundhouse kick at his cheek.

With a muffled thud, Shi Ji kicked him away.

Just as he was about to press his advantage and kill the fiend, countless runes suddenly appeared around the young cultivator.

The runes intertwined to form a powerful array, instantly suppressing Shi Ji within it.

The runes within the array were all pitch black, radiating an extremely terrifying aura.

"Boy! Prepare to die!"

The young monk grinned maliciously and swung his short sword at Shi Ji.

His offensive was exceptionally fierce and alarming.

Shi Ji then launched two stone beads, which shot towards the young cultivator.

The two stone beads pierced through the void, striking the young cultivator's brow and heart respectively.

The young monk's head and heart exploded, and he was killed on the spot by Shi Ji.

At this moment, the great formation trembled with destructive waves.

"The Sovereign Emperor's Symbol?"

The young cultivator's voice suddenly turned sinister and terrifying, as if he recognized the Sovereign Emperor Symbol of Shiji and knew the details of that great formation.

"So you recognize the Sovereign Emperor's Symbol! No wonder this person knew I possessed it!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

She did not want the Emperor's Symbol to be exposed, because once it was revealed...

This will inevitably lead to even greater disaster.

Moments later, a terrifying being descended.

The terrifying being who appeared was the same cultivator who had previously joined forces with the young cultivator to besiege Shi Ji; this person's cultivation was truly heaven-defying.

That guy was about three meters tall.

He was physically imposing and robust.

His skin was dark, as if it had been cast from rock.

This terrifying being appeared, wielding a halberd.

A single move sweeps away an entire army. (End of Chapter)
