Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"It's him!" Nangong Yue's expression changed drastically upon seeing the man in black. She immediately stood up and stared at him warily.

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the man. This man was none other than the renowned cultivator from the sixteen states of the Nine Yin Realm—Yanluo Ghost King.

The name of Yama, the King of Hell, was legendary. He was said to possess extraordinary abilities and unfathomable power. Although Shi Ji was knowledgeable and experienced, she had never personally witnessed Yama, the King of Hell.

Legend has it that Yama, the King of Hell, possesses a dragon-serpent ten thousand meters long, but whether this is true or not remains unknown. However, Shi Ji believes that most of the rumors about Yama, the King of Hell, are true, because his power is truly terrifying.

He guessed that Yama, the Ghost King, was likely a powerful figure at the Emperor level.

As soon as the King of Hell appeared, he exuded a terrifying pressure that enveloped Shi Ji and Nangong Yue.

"Kneel down and kowtow!" Yama, the King of Hell, said in a cold and indifferent voice, as if his words were unquestionable.

Shi Ji and Nangong Yue were both stunned upon hearing this. The King of Hell actually wanted them to kneel and kowtow?
Is this guy crazy?

Shi Ji sneered and mocked, "Are you out of your mind? You think I'd kowtow to you? Who do you think you are?"

"Boy, how dare you defy me? Today I will tear you to pieces!" A chilling glint flashed in Yama's eyes as he strode toward Shiji.

He attempted to capture Shi Ji and force him to work for him.

Shi Ji frowned slightly. This Yama King actually wanted to humiliate him in this way; he was really courting death.

He replied with a cold laugh, "This young master is in dire need of a servant. Since you want to be my slave, then I'll reluctantly accept you. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you!"

"Boy, you're asking for death!" King Yama roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

A torrent of demonic energy surged from his body, obscuring the sky and the sun. He stretched out his right hand, which transformed into a demonic claw, and reached out to grab Shi Ji.

The demonic claw emanated an extremely terrifying aura, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that the King of Hell was indeed worthy of his reputation.

He raised his hand and struck the void with a palm, shattering the demonic claw into pieces.

"Oh? You've got some skill. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!" Yama, the King of Hell, curled his lip in disdain.

He was incredibly fast, flashing across the sky like lightning, and instantly arrived in front of Shi Ji, throwing a punch at his chest.

Shi Ji unleashed Heavenly Fire, barely managing to withstand the fierce and domineering attack of Yama Ghost King.

However, Yama, the King of Hell, unleashed dozens of punches, all of which Shi Ji skillfully dodged.

"My fist technique is called the Eight Desolations Fist, a high-level Celestial Immortal Art. Even if you have comprehended the Law of Fire, you will not be able to break my Eight Desolations Fist!"

"Your Eight Desolations Fist may be powerful, but it can't hurt me in the slightest!"

"You are too arrogant! Today I will show you the power of my Eight Desolate Divine Fist. The Eight Desolate Divine Fist will shatter the heavens and destroy all the realms!"

Yama, the King of Hell, sneered and unleashed his ultimate killing move. This ultimate technique was terrifyingly powerful, chilling to the bone.

He swung his arms and unleashed the Eight Desolate Divine Fist, engaging in a fierce battle with Shi Ji.

"The Eight Desolate Divine Fist of Yama Ghost King is indeed astonishing, worthy of being a high-level Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique. This person not only possesses an unfathomable realm of cultivation, but also has cultivated various powerful techniques and immortal arts; his strength is truly formidable!"

Shi Ji nodded slightly, acknowledging the power of Yama, the Ghost King. However, he still did not take Yama, the Ghost King seriously.

The King of Hell grew increasingly frustrated as the battle progressed. He had initially believed that his formidable strength would allow him to easily suppress Shi Ji. However, he now found himself consistently at a disadvantage, which greatly angered him.

But he was still unwilling to give up and decided to fight desperately in the hope of turning the tide and killing Shi Ji.

This time, Yama, the King of Hell, condensed countless runes, surrounding himself, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

Immediately afterwards, runes flew out from the hands of Yama, the King of Hell, and they quickly intertwined and merged in the air.

Ultimately, it coalesced into a runic sphere containing world-destroying power.

As this runic orb took shape,
Yama, the King of Hell, let out a deafening roar.

The runic orb hurtled toward Shiji like a meteor.

Its power was so terrifying that it seemed capable of destroying all the heavens and the myriad worlds, reducing everything to nothingness. If such a terrifying attack were to strike Shi Ji, he would surely be instantly destroyed and reduced to ashes.

"Die, kid! Remember this: this is the first time you've witnessed the true power of Grandpa Yama."

Yama, the King of Hell, stared at Shi Ji with a cold gaze, as if he could already foresee the tragic scene of Shi Ji being annihilated and vanished into thin air by his attack.

However, at this critical moment,
Shi Ji flicked her fingers, and three spells flew out instantly.

They coiled around the runic orb like serpents.

Immediately afterwards, a series of cracking sounds rang out, and the runic orb collapsed and vanished into nothingness.

This scene caused Yama, the King of Hell, to suddenly change his expression.

"How is this possible? You actually broke my magic!"

The King of Hell's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Shi Ji sneered, "This is your proud Eight Desolate Divine Fist? It's nothing special!"

Upon hearing this, Yama, the King of Hell, grew even more gloomy: "Do you think you're the only one who possesses powerful immortal arts? Today I'll show you what it means to be outmatched and to be a master of magic!"

After speaking, Yama, the King of Hell, quickly formed hand seals.

Instantly, beams of dazzling light shot into the sky.

These beams of light converged and intertwined in the air.
They combined to form a densely packed chain of light patterns.

The supernatural power used by Yama, the King of Hell, is called "Myriad Manifestations Binding Spirit Technique".

It is unpredictable and difficult to break free once trapped.

Shi Ji's eyes narrowed slightly. The other party's supernatural powers were indeed formidable. If she were truly trapped, escaping would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The King of Hell's lips curled into a chilling killing intent: "Boy, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already activated the densely packed chains of light patterns, tightly binding Shi Ji.

Yama, the King of Hell, looked at Shi Ji with smug satisfaction, believing that victory was assured.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

Because Shi Ji's face showed no panic whatsoever, but rather was as calm as still water, without even a furrowed brow.

"Kid, you're really calm. I underestimated you. But today, you're destined to die!"

Yama, the King of Hell, remained indifferent, raised his right foot, and kicked Shi Ji hard in the chest.

With a loud crash, Yama, the King of Hell, kicked Shi Ji hard.

However, Shi Ji remained completely still, as if nothing had happened.

The King of Hell's pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked in shock, "How is this possible? Could it be that you have cultivated the Vajra Body?"

The Vajra Body is one of the top supernatural powers in Buddhism, and it is said that only Arhats with golden bodies can achieve it.

Its defensive power is so great that even when Yama, the King of Hell, was at his peak and used the Myriad Manifestations Binding Spirit Technique, it was difficult to break through it easily.

However, Shi Ji is currently only at the fifth level of the Emperor Realm and is in a weakened state, which greatly reduces her combat power.

Therefore, the effects of the Vajra Body are not as good as before.

Even so, it is still enough to contend with Yama's Myriad Manifestations Binding Spirit Technique.

Shi Ji replied calmly, "You've guessed wrong. My Vajra Body hasn't reached its peak yet. Otherwise, how could I possibly care about your meager abilities?" Upon hearing this, Yama, the Ghost King, showed a look of horror on his face.

Shi Ji's cultivation level was not high, yet her Vajra Body was so terrifying, which he found unbelievable.

King Yama took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Good lad, you are indeed powerful. It seems you have a lot of good fortune. I am becoming more and more reluctant to kill you."

"You won't kill me? I won't let you go!"

Shi Ji's gaze was icy as she took a few steps forward, approaching the King of Hell.

"Boy! Who do you think you are? How dare you attempt to kill me? How utterly laughable! Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

The sinister voice of Yama, the King of Hell, echoed in the air as he continued to use the Myriad Manifestations Binding Spirit Technique, attempting to trap Shi Ji.

Rays of light intertwined to form a prison, surging towards the rocky islet.

Shi Ji then drew her stone sword and swung it, unleashing a powerful strike.

With a violent and ear-piercing collision, the light prison unleashed by Yama, the King of Hell, shattered instantly.

Shi Ji leaped up and pounced on Yama, the King of Hell.

"You dare to show off your petty skills in front of me? You are simply overestimating yourself!"

Yama, the King of Hell, let out a series of cold laughs and quickly formed hand seals again.

In an instant, even more terrifying array patterns appeared all around, densely intertwined, forming an array containing the power to destroy the world.

"Die!" Yama, the King of Hell, roared, manipulating the dense array patterns to bombard Shi Ji like a raging tide.

"Yama Demon Prison Formation!"

Yama, the King of Hell, roared in a low voice. Wherever he stood, black mist churned, and endless demonic phantoms coalesced into form.

A gigantic demonic phantom, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, seemed to crawl out of the deepest hell, and with unimaginable terrifying power, pounced on Shi Ji.

"Experience the power of the Yama's Demon Prison Formation!"

Yama, the King of Hell, grinned maliciously. Although he used this supernatural power to deal with other enemies, it was more than enough to deal with Shi Ji.

A dangerous glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes as she sneered, "The Yama Demon Prison Formation? I've heard of the Yama Demon Domain Formation, but I've never witnessed its power. Today, I'll have a chance to experience it for myself!"

After speaking, Shi Ji quickly changed hand seals, and ancient array patterns condensed in his hands.

A colossal sealing gate slowly took shape, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed capable of sealing away all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The sealing gate, carrying unparalleled power, pressed down on the Yama Demon Prison Formation.

The two supernatural powers collided violently, producing a deafening roar.

Shi Ji's sealing gate easily destroyed the Yama Demon Prison Array and continued to crush Yama Ghost King.

The King of Hell was so frightened that his face turned as white as paper, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.

But Shi Ji remained unmoved, and the sealing gate directly suppressed him, imprisoning his physical body in mid-air.

The soul of Yama, the King of Hell, tried to escape his body, but Shi Ji's magic had already invaded it, instantly destroying his soul.

Yama, the King of Hell, thus perished.

"This guy is incredibly audacious! He even dares to steal the Ghost King's corpse. Doesn't he know who his master is?!"

"Perhaps his master is an immortal? Otherwise, how could he dare to provoke the Ghost King?"

"Let's go."

"Why leave? Let's watch the show! Many cultivators have witnessed this firsthand. Let's stay here, watch the battle, and wait for the final outcome!"

The surrounding cultivators were abuzz with discussion. News of Shi Ji's defeat of Yama Ghost King spread like wildfire, and his name became widely known.

As more and more people discovered Shi Ji's deeds, he certainly attracted a lot of attention this time, and his achievements are worthy of being recorded in history.

Whenever Shiji is mentioned, it inevitably draws countless exclamations of praise.

In just three years, Shiji's name spread throughout the entire Tianhe Prefecture.

"Have the Yama Demon Clan arrived?"

Shi Ji frowned slightly, secretly worried.

The Yama Ghost Clan is currently hunting him down all over the world. If they discover his current identity, things will be terrible.

He feared that the Yama Ghost Clan would unite with other forces to intercept and kill him.

Therefore, Shi Ji originally planned to return to the Qingyun Sect immediately to go into seclusion for a period of time and lie low.

But he quickly rejected the plan.

Now that the cultivators of the Yama Ghost Clan know that he killed the Yama Ghost King, he must go into hiding.

If he chooses to hide, and the Yama Ghost Clan fails to find him, they will seek revenge at the Qingyun Sect.

At that time, the damage to the Qingyun Sect will be unpredictable.

Therefore, Shiji felt that this should not be done.

"Since we can't avoid it, let's find another way. Let others mistakenly believe that I am dead or have perished, so that no one will suspect me!"

Shi Ji stroked her chin, secretly pondering a solution.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him—to use someone else to do the dirty work.

If someone wants to use him to eliminate the Yama Demon Clan, he is naturally willing to go with the flow and help those people.

So, Shiji quietly left the Yanluo Mountains and flew towards the northwest region.

Along the way, he constantly sensed the surrounding atmosphere, searching for treasures whose presence was concealed.

If he encounters a powerful creature, he will conceal his presence and flee quickly.

He was unsure whether those powerful beings could sense his presence, and if he couldn't conceal his aura and was discovered by them, he would surely suffer a calamity.

A month later, Shi Ji arrived at a city—Black Sand City.

This city is the largest and most prosperous of the hundreds of cities in the vicinity, with its shops bustling with activity.

After arriving in Black Sand City, Shi Ji found an inn to stay at and spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of materials and pills that could conceal her aura. Then she went to her room to rest and prepare to plan her next move.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten.

Shi Ji then set off for the weapon-refining pavilion, intending to try her luck and see if she could find some rare materials.

The head of the weapon-refining pavilion was an elderly man with white hair.

The old man saw Shi Ji and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly asked, "Young master, may I ask your name?"

Shi Ji smiled slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Junior Shi Ji has come to pay a visit to the elder."

"So it's Young Master Shi, please have a seat!" the old man greeted him warmly, personally pouring tea for Shi Ji, demonstrating his hospitality.

He gently placed the teacup in front of Shi Ji and smiled, "Young Master Shi, you must have come here for the Starry Sky Iron, right?" (End of Chapter)
