The skeleton sat cross-legged, exuding a desolate and ancient aura.

This aura permeated the heavens and earth, as if it had traversed countless ages and been passed down from ancient times, leaving people in awe.

The cultivator's body was withered and rotten, with his arms and legs rotting, making him appear as if he had been dead for some time.

Even so, the aura emanating from him still made Shi Ji feel terrified.

"Could this guy be a powerful figure at the Great Emperor level?" Fire Crow Taoist gasped.

Shi Ji nodded slightly and said, "Very likely!"

Shi Ji tried to summon the dragon rabbit, but there was no response.

He guessed that the dragon rabbit was probably trapped in some kind of confined space.

"We can't stay here any longer, let's get out of here!"

No sooner had Shi Ji finished speaking than she prepared to retreat.

Just then, the cultivator suddenly opened his eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing within them. Clearly,
This monk is still alive.

It seems this guy is indeed an emperor-level being.

Moreover, it may have been active in this world for countless millennia.

That being kept a close eye on Shiji and the Fire Crow Taoist.

"You are looking for death!"

The cultivator's face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He raised his hand and cast a magic seal.

The magic seal hurtled towards them with overwhelming force, sweeping towards Shi Ji and the Fire Crow Taoist, clearly intending to kill them in one fell swoop. This guy's cultivation was extremely powerful.

Faced with this terrifying attack,
Shi Ji remained calm.

With a wave of his right hand, five stone swords shot out.

Then, Shi Ji struck out with her palm, directly shattering the magic seal.

Then, he activated the five stone swords and launched them at the being.

The resounding clang was deafening, echoing through the sky.

The five stone swords collided violently with the attack of that being, unleashing terrifying shockwaves.

A tearing sound rang out, and then a head shot into the air.

Shi Ji reached out and grabbed the head.

He looked at the corpse in the distance, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Although this being was at the level of an emperor, its physical body had already decayed, and having been dead for so long, its soul had also dissipated.

Even if he is an emperor, so what?

Ultimately, it couldn't withstand the erosion of time.

In the end, the monk's body turned to dust and vanished.

“Let’s go,” Shi Ji said.

The two of them rushed outside.

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and two golden crows flew over; they were actually two golden crows with three thousand wings.

These two golden crows with three thousand wings each possess combat power that can be described as heaven-defying.

They attacked Shi Ji and the Fire Crow Taoist from the left and right.

Shi Ji remained calm, and with a wave of her sleeve, a terrifying power swept out, directly enveloping the two golden crows with three thousand wings.

Then, he refined the two golden crows into two rune-shaped Gu worms.

"Subduing two Golden Crows is quite a stroke of luck!"

The Fire Crow Taoist chuckled and said, "Indeed, a great harvest!"

The rest of the journey went quite smoothly.

With two golden crows with three thousand wings escorting them, plus Shi Ji's concealment technique,
They did not encounter any danger along the way.

"Hey, what's that black stone tablet up ahead? What's that?" Suddenly, the Fire Crow Taoist pointed into the distance.

The black stone tablet stood there, with a sealing array set up on it.

Is that being hiding within?

Shi Ji and the Fire Crow Taoist quickly approached the black stone tablet. When they arrived in front of the black stone tablet, Shi Ji felt a chilling aura rushing towards them.

He looked closely,
The black stone tablet was covered with runes, which twisted together to form obscure and incomprehensible patterns.

These runes were very peculiar; Shi Ji had never seen them before.
It seems to contain an extremely terrifying evil curse, making people afraid to touch it easily.

"That black stone tablet seems to be sealing something!" Shi Ji said in a deep voice. He tried to break the seal on the black stone tablet, but failed. These runes seemed to be extremely extraordinary.

Moreover, Shiji discovered that,
Those runes seem to be gradually reviving.

"Oh no, those runes seem to be about to revive! Let's go!"

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically, and she quickly urged the Fire Crow Taoist to leave.

The Fire Crow Taoist also realized that something was wrong.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?
The two turned to leave, wanting to get away from this place as soon as possible.

But at that moment, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from inside the black stone tablet.

A fair and slender hand reached out.

A cracking sound rang out.

The jade hand grasped the surface of the black stone tablet, causing it to shake violently.

"Oh no! That terrifying creature is about to break free of its restraints!"

The Fire Crow Taoist's face was extremely grim, and he quickly unleashed a powerful divine ability.

The supernatural power displayed by this Taoist priest was the most powerful secret technique of the Fire Crow clan. The ancestors of the Fire Crow clan are said to have had an extraordinary background, and the clan's rise to power is closely related to this powerful lineage.

Among the Fire Crow clan, there was a powerful member who devoted himself to cultivating the clan's incomparably powerful divine ability—the Flame Furnace.

Although this Taoist's current cultivation level is far from reaching the realm of cultivating the Flame Furnace, the Flame Furnace itself is extremely extraordinary and powerful enough to suppress all cultivators in the myriad realms.

At this moment, Shi Ji moved like lightning, quickly flying towards the Flame Divine Furnace. He opened his storage ring, took out five stone swords, and then unleashed all five.

Shi Ji shouted loudly and began to circulate the Tai Xuan Bagua Technique.

In an instant, endless sword energy surged forth.

The terrifying sword energies intertwined and condensed into an extremely powerful rune pattern, which directly enveloped the five stone swords.

Shi Ji then felt the pressure ease slightly, and he focused all his power on the five stone swords.

Suddenly, the void trembled violently. Immediately afterwards, a divine furnace emerged from the void, hovering in mid-air and emitting astonishing fluctuations.

The divine furnace shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

The five stone swords also shattered, unable to withstand the power of the Flame Furnace.

Shi Ji roared and tried to devour the Flame Furnace.

However, he failed.

The Flame Furnace was sent flying by the shockwave.

"Boy! You're dead!"

A sinister voice emanated from the Fiery Furnace. Then, it grew to the size of a mountain once more and slammed down on Shi Ji.

The situation is fraught with danger.

Shi Ji hurriedly activated the Golden Body and Jade Bone technique, because he was worried that using the "Thirty-Six Forms of Dragon Elephant Overlord Fist" might cause something terrible.

After all, this ultimate skill is a cultivation technique of the immortal level.

Back then, the founder of the Celestial Masters sect dominated the world with this unique skill.

Even many powerful figures at the Emperor level are wary of him.

Therefore, Shi Ji worried that her cultivation of this unique skill would be erased by the mark left by the ancestors of the Celestial Masters Sect. But at this moment, Shi Ji couldn't care less about that. If she continued to allow the Flame Furnace to attack, she feared she would truly be annihilated, body and soul.

Golden light flashes.

Shi Ji's physical body transformed into a height of a hundred feet.

He leaped out and charged towards the Flame Furnace.

At the same time, Shi Ji unleashed a black hole in an attempt to suppress the Flame God Furnace.

But it still failed to stop the attack of the Flame Furnace.

With a soft thud, Shi Ji's chest was torn apart, instantly becoming mangled and tattered.

"Heh heh, a mere mortal dares to withstand the attack of my supreme treasure? He's practically courting death."

The Flame Furnace let out a ferocious sneer, then slammed several more heavy hammer blows into Shi Ji's chest, causing her body to explode once more.

But Shiji did not perish.

He quickly dodged the attack of the Flame Furnace and then fled into the distance.

This guy is really amazing.

Shiji wasn't even confident that she could defeat it.

Now, he only hopes that he can successfully escape the pursuit of the Flame Furnace.

"Where do you think you're going? Today I'll show you what I'm made of!"

The Flame Furnace sneered and opened its massive maw, spewing out endless magma.

The magma seemed to contain a destructive power.

Anything that gets on it will probably evaporate instantly.

Shi Ji cursed, unable to get close to the terrifying lava.

He could only activate his immortal bloodline and fly quickly towards the outer perimeter.

The terrifying lava followed closely behind Shi Ji, and no matter how he tried to dodge, he could not escape it.

Finally, a piece of lava fell and hit Shi Ji.

Instantly, Shi Ji's body was burned to ashes by that piece of lava.

The lava, not yet completely consumed, continued to drift away into the distance and soon disappeared without a trace.

Shi Ji in the void wailed. The situation just now was too dangerous. He thought he was going to die for sure.

Although Shi Ji was not completely killed, he was seriously injured.

If he doesn't recover in time, he might really die at the hands of the Flame Furnace.

Shi Ji quickly left the ancient battlefield and, after searching for a long time, finally arrived at a lake. He jumped into the lake to wash his body, then took out some healing pills and began to recuperate in seclusion.

It took Shi Ji three whole months to fully recover. After leaving the pass, he headed in another direction.

A group of people suddenly attacked Shiji, led by a female cultivator named Su Rong'er.

This person is one of the most outstanding young members of the Celestial Masters Sect, possessing extremely powerful cultivation. Compared to Su Rong'er, Shi Ji's cultivation is naturally far inferior.

Moreover, the cultivators led by Su Rong'er were all extremely powerful, so it was only natural that Shi Ji was no match for them.

Su Rong'er and the others originally planned to capture Shi Ji and bring her back to the Celestial Masters Sect, but Shi Ji escaped.

They returned to the Celestial Masters Sect and reported the matter, and the Celestial Masters Sect then dispatched an elder down the mountain to capture Shiji.

Su Rong'er followed the elder down the mountain to capture Shi Ji, but unexpectedly, Shi Ji still managed to escape.

Su Rong'er was furious. She immediately led her army back to the Celestial Masters Sect, intending to go out of the mountains again to search for Shi Ji's whereabouts in the Star Forest.

Just then, Shi Ji silently crept over.

He used the "Ghostly Shadow Steps" technique, his figure as fast as lightning, and instantly rushed behind Su Rong'er, slapping her hard with a palm.

Shi Ji's sneak attack was certainly not a honorable act, but in this dog-eat-dog world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness.

Su Rong'er clearly did not expect Shi Ji to be hiding in the shadows and launch a sneak attack. Caught off guard, she was struck by his palm.

She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Ji kicked Su Rong'er in the shoulder.

With a dull thud, Su Rong'er's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Shi Ji followed closely and lunged forward, raising her leg to kick Su Rong'er again.

Shi Ji knew that there was a huge gap in strength between him and Su Rong'er, and if they continued to fight, he would be killed by her sooner or later. Therefore, he decided to capture Su Rong'er alive to defeat her.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with the situation that follows.

Su Rong'er's pretty face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear and horror.

She was powerless to resist Shi Ji's kick.

But at that moment, Su Rong'er gritted her teeth and produced a piece of yellow paper. It was a strange talisman, which Shi Ji recognized at a glance as a "Celestial Master's Talisman".

It is said that this talisman was drawn by a patriarch of the Celestial Masters sect and is incredibly powerful, defying the heavens.

Upon seeing the yellow paper, Shi Ji's eyelids twitched violently, and she inwardly cried out that something was wrong.

But by then, it was clearly too late to back down.

Shi Ji kicked the Celestial Master's talisman hard.

The talisman trembled slightly, then surged with an astonishing wave. Immediately afterward, the talisman exploded, and terrifying shockwaves swept towards Shi Ji like a tidal wave. His body was thrown away like a kite with a broken string.

Shi Ji fell heavily to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The power of the exploding talisman was too great, almost destroying his internal organs. Fortunately, he possessed an immortal bloodline; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even so, Shiji still suffered considerable damage.

"Boy, how dare you ambush me! You've got some nerve! You'll die a horrible death soon!"

Su Rong'er roared angrily.

A deep sense of solemnity appeared in Shi Ji's eyes; he sensed an unprecedented danger.

Su Rong'er is too strange; she seems to be hiding many secrets.

Perhaps it was these secrets that made her increasingly terrifying.

"Let's each take a step back. I'll let you leave! And you can stop targeting me! Let's just leave each other alone, okay?"

"How utterly ridiculous! You think you can get away with a few weak pleas for mercy? You underestimate my intelligence! Now, kneel down and kowtow to apologize, and I might spare your dog's life!"

Su Rong'er stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Shi Ji with an arrogant air.

"Heh, since you're looking for death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Shi Ji sneered and then stepped forward.

"Stubborn fool!" Su Rong'er shouted coldly, and with a wave of her arms, dense runes intertwined in the void.

She activated the "Celestial Master's Talisman".

The talisman transformed into a terrifying being, extending its massive hand and striking Shi Ji with a palm strike.

The surrounding void twisted and cracks spread out, as if the entire world was about to collapse.

Shi Ji was greatly surprised; Su Rong'er's combat strength was indeed extraordinary.

He quickly retreated to avoid being hit by the entity summoned by the Celestial Master's talisman.

Shi Ji used the Heaven-Mending Technique to traverse the void under the attack of the Celestial Master's Talisman, successfully avoiding the powerful figure's palm strike.

But at that moment, Shi Ji noticed that the giant hand that existed was becoming blurry, and a chilling aura rushed towards her.

He realized that the being could not only control the surrounding spacetime, but also manipulate time and space.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a black light, as fast as lightning, slashed towards Shi Ji, containing an extremely sinister aura.

The black light enveloped Shi Ji, attempting to devour him. (End of Chapter)
