Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

He guessed that the jade talisman must be a treasure left behind by some powerful figure.

His master must be an extraordinary and exceptional being.

Shi Ji's gaze sharpened slightly as she attempted to activate the jade talisman.

In an instant, the jade talisman began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the jade talisman released endless darkness and bone-chilling cold.

Shi Ji's entire body was instantly enveloped in darkness.

Shi Ji was shocked and hurriedly drew her stone sword.

However, the stone sword did not react at all and remained motionless.

His body remained shrouded in darkness.

After Shiji could see the scene in the darkness.

A deep look of shock flashed in his eyes.

A figure stood in the darkness.

The figure was dressed in a blue robe, with a heroic and upright posture.

Like a peerless, deadly blade drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed.

"Who exactly are you?" Shi Ji asked in a hoarse voice.

"You lowly beings cannot possibly comprehend my existence. My realm has long transcended reincarnation and surpassed the boundaries of life and death!"

"How absurd and laughable! Are you trying to say that you have reached the realm of immortals?"

Shi Ji laughed mockingly.

Although he did not know what realm an immortal was.

But since they dare to call themselves immortals, they must have already broken through to the legendary realm of eternity.

The realm of eternity, what does that mean?
Those are some of the world's top experts!

Shi Ji has never believed that a powerful being in the Eternal Realm could be born within an era.

Because that's simply an impossible task.

The man said, "Indeed, I have entered the realm of eternity!"

Shi Ji's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had heard of the terrifying power of Eternal Realm experts.

It is said that a powerhouse at the Eternal Realm can easily destroy the entire world.

They can even control the universe and make all races submit to them. Eternal Realm experts are the true rulers of this Heavenly Martial Continent.

Even a powerful emperor is as weak as an ant in front of an eternal realm expert, and can be easily crushed.

Moreover, those at the Eternal Realm possess incredibly long lifespans, remaining eternally immortal and capable of living for hundreds of millions of years. This is precisely the most alluring aspect of being at the Eternal Realm.

Shi Ji never expected that she would encounter a powerful expert at the Eternal Realm so soon after arriving on the Tianwu Continent.

The power of those at the Eternal Realm is truly immense. Shi Ji's heart was filled with deep worry.

The man continued, "Let me guide you through your confusion."

This guy seems to really understand some profound and mysterious principles.

He stretched out one palm and made a light stroke in the air.

Suddenly, the flow of time around them changed, becoming unusually slow.

Shi Ji was taken aback and tried to activate her magic power.

His magical power began to surge.

However, when Shi Ji tried to circulate her magic, she found that it had become unusually sluggish, and even activating it had become extremely difficult.

This left Shi Ji feeling incredibly frustrated. The man had simply waved his hand and stripped her of her power over time.

"You actually stole my power of time," Shi Ji said helplessly. He was now in a terrible predicament because after his power of time was taken away, the other party's consciousness instantly took over his body.

"Who exactly are you?" Shi Ji asked in a deep voice.

"My name is the Azure Nether Emperor!"

"Could you be the legendary Azure Emperor, one of the ancient emperors?"

Ancient emperors, even in the long history of the Tianwu Continent.

They are all incredibly terrifying and invincible beings.

In Shi Ji's view, perhaps only a powerhouse at the level of an emperor could contend with the ancient emperors.

"Ancient emperors? Hmph, they are nothing but insignificant ants!" Emperor Qingming said with a sneer.

Upon hearing the Azure Emperor's words, Shi Ji couldn't help but reveal a disdainful expression. In his view, those ancient emperors were indeed not very impressive, because they had not created their own civilization.

They were still in the initial stage, but now, Shiji believes that she has created her own civilization.

Those ancient emperors were still figuring out how to improve their combat skills and find ways to break through to higher realms.

Shi Ji sneered, "No matter who those ancient emperors were, you can't possess me. Do you think this is just a slogan? Let me tell you, that's nonsense! You can't possess anyone, including yourself!"

"Oh? Really? You seem quite confident. Well then, let's give it a try!"

The next moment, the face of the Azure Emperor blurred. Shi Ji's soul seemed to fall into another dimension of time. He found himself in a vast and boundless world.

And at this moment.

In the distant future, the Azure Emperor appeared.

He flew away into the distance, seemingly searching for a way to leave this world.

Shi Ji frowned. The atmosphere here seemed completely different from the outside world, and he felt a sense of oppression.

"What is this place?"

"This is the other end of the spacetime turbulence!"

"Space-time turbulence?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

The Azure Emperor nodded slightly.

Then, he looked up at the sky. There, he saw countless thick chains of order, binding the celestial court.

"Suppress the Heavenly Court with the chains of order..." Emperor Qingming murmured to himself.

"The Heavenly Court? Where is that? And what are these chains of order you mentioned?" Shi Ji asked, her face full of doubt.

"The Heavenly Court is a sacred hall jointly built by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times, and can naturally be called the palace of the Lord of the Heavenly Court. The Lord of the Heavenly Court controls a unique law of order, and can seal all the heavens and myriad realms with the chains of order, and will never allow a new Heavenly Court to be born in the world." The Azure Nether Emperor slowly explained.

"The chains of order are in fact the embodiment of the order of Heaven!"

“What you say is true!” Shi Ji replied.

"Why did the chains of order appear in the world?" Shi Ji asked again, full of doubt.

"You don't need to know the reasons! All you need to understand now is that the chains of order have sealed off the Heavenly Court, and the Lord of the Heavenly Court is trapped within it, unable to escape!" Emperor Qingming said indifferently. "What era is this?" Shiji asked.

The Azure Emperor remained calm and said, "This is the end of the Ancient Era!"

"The ancient era? Where is this place?" Shi Ji became increasingly puzzled.

The Azure Emperor said, "Do not ask me any more questions. I only have fragmented memories left, and I know less than one-thousandth of what I know. I can no longer remember most of the secrets of the ancient era!"

Upon hearing Qingming Emperor's words, Shiji felt quite helpless.

“I understand,” Shi Ji sighed.

"Now that you understand, you should know how to choose. I don't have much time left! I'll give you two choices: first, hand over your physical body, and I'll spare your life!" the Azure Nether Emperor said coldly.

Shi Ji countered, "What if I choose the second path?"

Shi Ji took a deep breath. Although the Azure Nether Emperor only had a wisp of remnant spirit left, he still dared not be careless in the slightest, after all, this was once an ancient emperor.

Moreover, the Azure Emperor possesses unpredictable and mysterious power. If he were to unleash some kind of evil forbidden technique, I would certainly find it difficult to resist.

“I can agree to your conditions, but…” Shi Ji’s gaze fell on the physical body of the Azure Nether Emperor.

"However, you still need to help me recover my cultivation, otherwise, I won't hesitate to devour you completely!" The Azure Nether Emperor's tone was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable majesty.

Shi Ji said with a wry smile, "Your appetite is truly enormous, sir. You actually dare to devour everything I have? You are far too arrogant and conceited. I am not a weakling who can be bullied!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji flashed forward like lightning, rushing towards the physical body of the Azure Nether Emperor.

He wanted to seize the physical body of the Azure Nether Emperor.

However, at that moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared behind the Azure Emperor, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Legend has it that anyone caught in this devouring black hole, even a quasi-immortal or an immortal, will be completely swallowed up and reduced to nothingness.

Shi Ji quickly restrained her aura, stood in front of the Devouring Black Hole, and looked at Qingming Emperor with a cold smile.

"You've got some nerve, trying to snatch my body away from me!" The Azure Emperor cast a mocking glance his way, his face full of disdain.

"I admit your methods are amazing, but do you think you can defeat me with just that? That's utterly absurd! If I wanted to escape, even your Devouring Black Hole couldn't stop me. Now, let's fight for this body based on our own abilities, and whoever refines it first will be the victor!" Shi Ji said loudly without fear.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji was about to rush into the swallowing black hole.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lay down a series of deadly traps inside the Devouring Black Hole?" Emperor Qingming looked at Shiji with a mocking expression.

Shi Ji burst into laughter: "No matter how powerful your Devouring Black Hole is, it's nothing more than a condensation of chains of order. Besides, chains of order are ultimately just chains of order; they can't destroy a physical body constructed from the power of order!"

Shi Ji continued, "Unless your Chains of Order have reached the King Realm, then perhaps you would be able to destroy the physical body constructed by the Origin Order. But how rare are those who have reached the King Realm of the Chains of Order?"

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Emperor; Shi Ji's guess was correct.

He did indeed only condense the King Realm of Order Chains.

If one could condense the Order Chains of the Emperor Realm, it might truly be able to destroy Shi Ji's physical body, causing it to vanish into nothingness.

The Azure Emperor said, "Since that's the case, I will give you a fair chance to compete. If I lose, I will give you my physical body; but if you lose, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shi Ji said, "Alright, I accept this challenge!"

Having said that, he instantly pounced on the body of the Azure Nether Emperor, grabbing at the shell with both hands.

He planned to take this opportunity to seize the physical body of the Azure Nether Emperor.

However, at that moment, a sharp sword aura slashed towards Shi Ji.

With a "splat", blood splattered.

Shi Ji's right arm was severed by the sword energy, and a large gash was also split open on half of her shoulder.

At this moment, the soul of the Azure Nether Emperor had entered his body, and then the body slowly opened its eyes.

Shi Ji was greatly shocked.

He felt that he was one with the Azure Emperor at this moment; the Azure Emperor was him, and he was the Azure Emperor.

The face of the Azure Emperor gradually became blurred.

In the end, the face vanished completely, disappearing without a trace.

The soul within this body seemed to have merged perfectly with Shi Ji's soul.

"Congratulations, you have successfully possessed the body!" The voice of the Azure Nether Emperor drifted over.

"You're not the Azure Nether Emperor at all, what exactly are you?" Shi Ji asked hurriedly, her face full of astonishment.

"What am I?" Emperor Qingming chuckled lightly, having no intention of telling Shiji.

"What exactly are you plotting? Do you want this body to grow into another Azure Nether Emperor? Do you want to use my body to cultivate into a second Azure Nether Emperor?" Shi Ji stared intently at the Azure Nether Emperor.

The Azure Nether Emperor shook his head. "The second Azure Nether Emperor has long since vanished from the world. I originally intended to possess the body of the first Azure Nether Emperor, but how could the first Azure Nether Emperor be so easily possessed?"

Now that my cultivation has fallen to the Immortal Emperor realm, it is virtually impossible for me to seize his body!

A thoughtful expression immediately appeared on Shi Ji's face. The Azure Nether Emperor had actually brought up this matter. Could it be that, as he said, the first Azure Nether Emperor had not actually died?
He was simply trapped in some mysterious place? And he even cultivated himself into an unimaginably powerful being?
Otherwise, how can we explain the current situation of the Azure Emperor?
Shi Ji said, "If that's the case, then why did you try to possess me?"

The Azure Nether Emperor said, "It's because the first Azure Nether Emperor left behind a jade pendant. Back then, the Azure Nether Emperor was severely injured, and he gave the jade pendant to his wife."

He hoped his wife could find a suitable cultivator from a later generation to practice the Azure Nether Technique and give the jade tablet to him. As for him, he needed the power contained within the jade tablet to recover from his injuries!

The Azure Emperor's explanation did make some sense.

But Shiji always felt there was something strange about it.

However, upon closer examination, this matter seems to make perfect sense.

The Azure Nether Emperor continued, "I possessed your body because I wanted you to help me find the jade talisman left behind by the first Azure Nether Emperor!"

Upon hearing Qingming Emperor's words, Shiji instantly understood his plan.

It turned out to be the case.

This Azure Emperor actually attempted to make me his puppet.

Shi Ji paused for a moment, then asked, "You want to regain your freedom, right? If you release me, I promise to help you regain your freedom!"

"You think I'd believe you? Don't forget, you're already under my control. If I decide you live, you live; if I decide you die, you won't survive a moment!"

The Azure Emperor's cold voice rang out, full of threat.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and said, "Since I dared to come here, I am absolutely confident that I can escape from your clutches. We'll see!"

The Azure Emperor said, "Very well, since you remain obstinate, then what awaits you is utter annihilation!"

Shi Ji sneered repeatedly, "The outcome is still uncertain. You are far too arrogant!"

The voice just fell.

Shi Ji immediately activated the Azure Nether Technique, unleashing a surge of soul power that enveloped her physical body before rushing outwards.

"Boy, you can't escape. I knew you'd find a way to get rid of me, but didn't you realize this was a trap I set?"

The Azure Emperor stared mockingly at Shi Ji's retreating figure.

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically; as expected.

He had completely overlooked this matter. (End of Chapter)
