After the metal fragment merged into Shi Ji's body, Shi Ji felt her entire body tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, the metal fragment emitted a dazzling golden light.

It began to absorb the blood from Shiji's body.

The blood in Shi Ji's body began to boil, and drops of blood were drawn out.

The metal fragment rapidly absorbed the blood, and Shi Ji felt her vital energy being frantically plundered by the metal fragment.

"Is this stealing my lifespan?" Shi Ji was shocked. This metal fragment was too strange; it was actually absorbing her life force.

But why would this metal fragment drain its own life force?

A picture involuntarily surfaced in Shi Ji's mind:
A massive altar floated in mid-air, upon which many coffins were placed.

These coffins are all made of special materials.

Each coffin was engraved with various runes.

That metal fragment was broken off from this altar.

Just as Shiji was pondering these matters,
His lifespan is constantly slipping away.

The lifespan of the stone is decreasing at an extremely rapid rate.

"My lifespan is passing."

"I still have many things to do. I want to grow old with the woman I love and witness my son's growth."

Shi Ji cried out in agony.

He was truly unwilling to accept it.

However, no matter how much Shiji struggled, she could not resist her own aging.
Lifespan is still rapidly dwindling.

In the end, Shi Ji's skin turned pale, and she seemed to have become twenty years younger all of a sudden.

His eyes were sunken, and his face was ashen white.

If this continues, he simply cannot hold on and will surely die.

"Little one! I have finally recovered! My strength has returned to its peak. When I return, you will know who I really am."

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out.

Then, a cultivator shrouded in black mist appeared in the valley.

The shadowy figure's arm reached forward, grabbing directly at Shi Ji.

"Damn it!"

Shi Ji roared angrily.

He struggled with all his might.
However, it was unable to withstand the opponent's attack.

Shi Ji was held in the hands of the man in black.

He was then taken away by the men in black.

When Shi Ji awoke again, she found herself lying in a dungeon filled with thousands of prisoners.

Shi Ji discovered that these prisoners were all elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.

Shi Ji had even heard a horrifying story: it was said that the reason these prisoners were imprisoned here was not by chance, but because among them were the wives and concubines of a powerful emperor.

These powerful individuals, driven by a thirst for revenge, cruelly murdered their enemies' wives and concubines, leaving their bodies to suffer hellish torment.

"Good heavens, how did I end up back in this dungeon? Is this an illusion?" Shi Ji's face instantly turned extremely pale.

He hurriedly tried to hypnotize himself, hoping to break free from this illusion.

However, he soon realized that this was not an illusion, and that he had indeed been captured and taken to a dungeon.

Shi Ji tried to circulate the internal energy within her body, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not mobilize the magical power in her dantian.

"Damn it, who brought me here? My memory seems a bit confused." Shi Ji frowned, her mind filled with doubt.

He tried to recall what happened before he lost consciousness, but the more he tried, the more his head ached.

Left with no other choice, Shi Ji had to give up on recalling the past.

He continued to try to circulate his cultivation technique, but still failed. His magical power seemed to have vanished, completely unable to be gathered.

This made Shi Ji's face even more gloomy. The inability to circulate his magic power meant that he had completely lost his fighting ability and did not even have the strength to stand up and run away.

At this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Shi Ji felt a mixture of grief and indignation, her heart filled with endless hatred.

"Boy, we meet again!"

Just then, a cold voice echoed in the secret room.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man dressed in a black robe slowly walked over.

This old man was none other than the mysterious man in black who had spoken with Shi Ji earlier.

A look of shock appeared on Shi Ji's face.

"That's right, it was me! Back then, I destroyed your physical body and threw you into this dungeon, making you suffer here!" The man in black stared at Shi Ji with resentful eyes.

"So that's how it is! I was wondering how I could suddenly come back to life when I was clearly dead!"

The man in black slapped Shi Ji on the chest, and Shi Ji felt as if her internal organs were about to shatter.

Although he did not die immediately, he had lost the ability to resist.

Shi Ji vividly remembers that excruciating pain; at the time, he thought he was going to die.

However, to his utter surprise, he did not die; he had merely fainted and then miraculously revived.

Shi Ji guessed that it was probably the powerful figure named Gu Hengmo who had saved her from danger.

"Boy, your physical body has been destroyed, and your soul has also been severely damaged. It hasn't recovered after so long. It seems that your soul has been seriously damaged, hasn't it?"

"Your strength has recovered?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

"No, I haven't recovered yet. However, there are some treasures here that nourish the soul, which I can use to recover for a short period of time."

"Since you haven't recovered your strength yet, how dare you show your face in front of me? I think you're tired of living!" Shi Ji said with a sneer.

"Hehe, kid! My strength hasn't fully recovered yet, but I'm still more than capable of dealing with you!"

The man in black grinned maliciously and walked towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sat motionless in the dungeon.

The man in black sneered, "So you're planning to surrender?"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? What do you want to do now? I advise you to leave right now, or you'll be lying dead in the wilderness tonight!"

Shi Ji glanced indifferently at the man in black and said with a cold smile.

"Do you still think you're the same imposing Shi Ji you used to be? Now you're weak and helpless, like a fish on a chopping board. What are you pretending to be tough for?"

Shi Ji's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, "Even if I'm a prisoner now, you're still no match for me. I don't believe you dare kill me. Aren't you afraid of angering me?"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the man in black raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shi Ji was indeed somewhat strange, giving him a constant sense of unease.

The man in black quickly calmed down, looked coldly at Shi Ji, and said, "Boy, you've talked too much nonsense! Now I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black struck Shi Ji with a palm, unleashing a terrifying force that surged towards her.

Shi Ji's face revealed a grim expression, neither dodging nor avoiding the attack.

He wanted to see just how strong he really was.

With a dull thud, the two collided.

The next moment, the man in black coughed up blood and flew backward. "How is this possible?" The man in black's eyes widened.

He had used ninety percent of his strength in that last move; theoretically, killing Shi Ji with a single slap shouldn't have been a problem.

But the result surprised him greatly.

Shi Ji was completely unharmed.

Shi Ji stood up and looked coldly at the man in black: "Your strength is too weak. I could easily suppress you with just one finger!"

The man in black's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Shi Ji's displayed strength was indeed overwhelming, leaving him in awe. He knew he was no match for Shi Ji, and if he remained here, he would likely face real danger.

"Kid, we've got a long life ahead of us. I'll take your life sooner or later!"

The man in black uttered these harsh words and turned to leave.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Shi Ji's expression was indifferent, and her tone was aloof.

"Boy, what exactly do you want?" The man in black suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sneered and said, "Didn't you say that your strength hadn't recovered yet, making it the perfect time to get rid of you? Do you think I'd let you leave so easily?"

"You little bastard, you still want to kill me? You haven't even recovered ten percent of your strength yet. With your current cultivation level, you're no match for me. I admit, I underestimated you. Once I've fully recovered, I'll definitely come back to take your life!"

The man in black gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

However, would Shi Ji let him have his way?

Shi Ji instantly gave chase, her right foot suddenly rising and kicking out fiercely. This kick seemed to contain terrifying power capable of shattering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

A chilling aura spread out and instantly struck the man in black.

The man in black screamed as Shi Ji kicked him away.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face ashen white.

Shi Ji rushed forward quickly, and with a swift movement of her right hand, she subdued the man in black.

The man in black crashed heavily to the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Shi Ji punched him in the left shoulder again, and the man in black's left scapula shattered instantly.

His face was extremely ugly, and his venomous gaze was fixed on Shi Ji, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent, hatred and ferocity.

Shi Ji stepped on the man in black's face. The man struggled, but he couldn't break free from Shi Ji's foot.

Shi Ji looked down at the man in black and said coldly, "You think I won't deal with you just because my injuries have healed? How laughable! Speak! Who sent you? Are you the mastermind behind this?"

The man in black sneered and said, "Kid, don't dream. I will never reveal who's behind this. After you die, I'll go find your sister and let her watch you die in front of her. She will be devastated because her brother died at my hands."

"Hmph, how utterly foolish!"

Shi Ji curled her lip in disdain, then crushed the man in black's neck with a single pinch.

Shi Ji's strength was too domineering, and she twisted the head off the man in black.

The body of the man in black fell to the ground with a series of cracking sounds.

Shi Ji removed the black-clad man's storage ring and looted all his belongings.

He planned to improve his strength first, and once he regained it, it would be time for him to take revenge.

Then, he transformed into a streak of light and sped away.

Shi Ji had just left not long ago.

Suddenly, a warship flew in from afar. As the warship approached the cave, several powerful figures swiftly flew over and landed inside.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The group of powerful individuals all frowned, their faces full of doubt.

"A fierce battle has just broken out here, and it seems to have been caused by a battle between some peerless powerhouses!"

"This person's strength is simply unbelievable and beyond comprehension!"

"It seems this person is neither injured nor seriously wounded!"

Several cultivators discussed among themselves.

Clearly, Shi Ji had a significant advantage in his battle with the mysterious female cultivator, leading his enemies to believe that he had met with misfortune.

Now that Shi Ji has awakened, those powerful figures naturally no longer think the worst.

The power of Shiji had already left a deep impression on them.

"Who exactly is this person? Why have I never heard of him before?"

An old woman asked in confusion.

"This person's strength is unfathomable, and he possesses a heaven-defying treasure—a stone sword! This stone sword is extremely terrifying, capable of unleashing world-destroying attacks."

The top young experts of those immortal sects, holy courts, imperial clans, and royal lineages might have ways to deal with this person, but the higher-ups of those forces, imperial clans, and royal lineages will absolutely not interfere in this matter!

Although they were curious, they did not linger and left quickly.

After they left, Shi Ji followed them silently. She only revealed herself when they were completely out of sight.

Shi Ji quickly followed, spreading her spiritual energy to envelop the warship. She tried to sense it carefully, but still couldn't detect anything inside.

But the more this was the case, the more cautious Shi Ji became. This situation indicated that the people on the warship were definitely very troublesome, otherwise they wouldn't have been so secretive about their whereabouts.

Shi Ji guessed that the powerful figure sitting inside the warship must be extremely strong, possibly even surpassing the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Shi Ji needs to be fully prepared to capture that mysterious expert, because he is not confident in his ability to confront him.

Therefore, he decided to first observe where the mysterious expert was hiding inside the warship, and then seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Shi Ji's methods were equally terrifying.

He silently crept to a position three thousand meters away from the warship.

A look of joy instantly appeared on Shi Ji's face.

This distance was just right for him to unleash his Dark Eye.

Shi Ji once obtained the Dark Demon Eye, but unfortunately, this Dark Demon Eye was incomplete.

If it were the complete version of the Dark Demon Eye, its power would be even more astonishing. The Dark Demon Eye has three transformations; the first transformation allows it to conceal its form and presence.

The second ability is to change one's appearance, transforming oneself into a completely different person.

The third level is a forbidden technique recorded in the Dark Demon Eye, which can summon the Dark Lord.

However, Shi Ji has not yet successfully cultivated her Dark Demon Eye.

Therefore, he was unable to summon the Dark Lord.

If the Dark Lord can be summoned, the Dark Lord's combat power will be greatly enhanced.

At that time, dealing with that black-robed cultivator will no longer be a difficult task.

Shi Ji activated his Dark Demon Eye, and in an instant, the scenery around him underwent a dramatic transformation.

The once pitch-black world was gradually enveloped by an even deeper darkness.

Shi Ji saw a sky full of stars, which twinkled with a faint light, like fireflies in the night.

This is the effect displayed by the Dark Demon Eye.

Deep within the sea of ​​stars, dazzling planets radiate starlight, reflecting on the illusory galaxy formed by the dark demonic eye.

Shi Ji looked in one direction and saw a man dressed in gray clothes. (End of Chapter)
