"Is that so? If you can kill me, then go ahead and do it. I won't back down!"

Shi Ji stared coldly at Long Yuexi, her eyes flashing with an icy light.

"Very well! Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Long Yuexi's eyes.

She rushed directly into the magic array set up by Shi Ji.

The magic array set up by Shi Ji is called the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Array.

This formation has the power to exorcise evil spirits!

It's nothing more than a large array shaped like the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Moreover, Shi Ji has not yet fully mastered the essence of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Formation.

After Long Yuexi rushed into the formation, Shi Ji was not worried that she would break through the formation and escape.

Shi Ji waved her right hand, and a crack appeared in the void.

Immediately afterwards, a demonic sword flew out and slashed towards Long Yuexi.

This is Shi Ji's meticulously crafted natal magic weapon, possessing immense power.

Now that he has fully activated it, the power it unleashes is even more astonishing.

A dull thud followed.

Shi Ji's attack clashed violently with Long Yuexi's attack.

Both of them took a dozen steps back at the same time.

In this battle, the two sides were evenly matched.

Shi Ji stared at the woman in shock; Long Yuexi's cultivation was truly terrifying.

At such a young age, he possesses such profound magical power.

This woman is no ordinary person. Shi Ji sensed the terrifying magical power emanating from Long Yuexi. Her cultivation level should be at the Quasi-Immortal realm.

"Hmph, your magic weapon is not bad either. It seems you've been doing quite well these past few years. Not only has your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but you've even acquired some magic weapons!"

Long Yuexi said coldly, staring at the Dark Magic Box at Shi Ji's waist with a greedy look in her eyes.

"This magical artifact is mine! If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently! Perhaps I can spare your life!"

This woman was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Moreover, he was extremely arrogant.

That's why she treated Shi Ji with such a superior attitude.

Shi Ji said, "I have always had a bad temper, and no one wants to provoke me. But if someone does provoke me, they will often pay a heavy price! If you remain stubborn, then you are destined to suffer great pain!"

"Arrogant! How dare you speak disrespectfully to this princess! Today I will send you to your death!"

Long Yuexi's face was full of coldness.

Then, she swiftly rushed towards Shiji.

Long Yuexi's speed was simply too fast.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Shi Ji.

Then they pounced on Shiji to attack.

He punched Shi Ji in the chest.

Long Yuexi's punch contained earth-shattering power.

Shi Ji remained indifferent and directly caught the fist that Long Yuexi was throwing.

With a slight exertion of force, Shi Ji made a "crackling" sound as Long Yuexi's arm broke apart instantly.

"Ah! My hand!" Long Yuexi screamed in pain.

"Your Highness!" The surrounding guards were terrified and rushed to Long Yuexi, helping her up from the ground. At this moment, Long Yuexi's pretty face was as pale as paper from the pain.

"Boy! Do you know what you've done? Kneel down and beg for mercy right now, and we might spare you some suffering! Otherwise, you'll wish you were dead!" an old man said, glaring fiercely at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and kicked the old man in the stomach. The old man screamed and was sent flying by Shi Ji's kick.

The other elderly men wanted to go forward to heal the old man's wounds, but Shi Ji blocked their way.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, get out of my way! I'll deal with this brat myself!" Shi Ji said, glancing at the group indifferently.

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

"This kid is provoking us!"

"Attack him together and suppress him!"

The elders roared and charged at Shi Ji. These elders were also extremely powerful. Apart from the elder who had just been kicked away by Shi Ji and did not participate in the attack, among the other seven or eight elders, six were at the fourth level of Immortal Lord and three were at the fifth level of Immortal Lord.

Shi Ji's face showed a mocking expression. These people were far too weak to be defeated.

Long Yuexi's lips curled into a chilling smile. Then, she extended a finger and pointed it at Shi Ji's brow. This finger contained terrifying energy, seemingly capable of destroying everything in the world.

As the terrifying energy bombarded her, Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath. Long Yuexi was indeed formidable; although he was only at the peak of the second level of the Immortal Lord realm, his strength was truly formidable.

Shi Ji summoned the Dark Magic Box, which hovered above her head. She opened the box, and instantly, endless death energy surged out, enveloping Shi Ji and Long Yuexi.

Under the influence of this powerful aura of death, Long Yuexi's face showed horror. She felt the air around her become viscous, and her movements became much slower.

"What is this thing? How can it have such a terrifying effect?" Moreover, the viscous feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and her body was even difficult to move. She was being corroded by those strange energies.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Ji summoned her stone sword and slashed at Long Yuexi. Upon seeing this, Long Yuexi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly activated her magic weapon to defend against Shi Ji's attack.

The two attacks collided, and Long Yuexi's body was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "You're actually alright." Long Yuexi looked at Shi Ji in disbelief, because she had just sensed that Shi Ji hadn't broken through to the Emperor Realm. Logically speaking, such a low-level cultivator shouldn't be able to withstand the death energy released by the Dark Magic Box. But Shi Ji was standing there unharmed, which greatly surprised her, and she urgently wanted to find out what had happened.

Shi Ji sneered repeatedly, "You think you can hurt me with just a mere stone tool? You're dreaming."

"You lowly brat, give me the antidote now! Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!" Long Yuexi's voice was icy as she viciously threatened Shi Ji.

"How ridiculous! You've been hit by my Death Curse and you still dare to act arrogantly here? You're just asking for death!" Shi Ji curled her lips in disdain, then activated the Dark Magic Box to continue suppressing Long Yuexi.

Shi Ji planned to control Long Yuexi first, since this woman was powerful and if she could be subdued, she might be able to do more for her.

Long Yuexi clearly sensed the danger and quickly retreated, trying to dodge Shi Ji's attack. However, she discovered that her speed was no match for the stone coffin's attack. Her body was struck by the stone coffin's attack, and half of her body was instantly shattered.

A pitiful scream escaped Long Yuexi's lips as the other half of her body turned into white mist and vanished. Long Yuexi had suffered extremely severe injuries.

She roared furiously, "Damn it, I'll tear your throat apart!" Before she finished speaking, Long Yuexi reached out her right hand to grab Shi Ji. Her right hand became enormous, and her five slender, snow-white fingers were like five incredibly sharp knives, clawing towards Shi Ji's throat.

Long Yuexi's combat strength was indeed extraordinary; the power of her move was terrifying. Shi Ji used a Void Teleportation Talisman and vanished instantly. Long Yuexi missed her target.

But soon, Shi Ji reappeared. After Long Yuexi locked onto Shi Ji with her divine sense, she tried to continue attacking him, but failed once again.

Shi Ji once again used the Void Teleportation Talisman to successfully evade Long Yuexi's attack.

A venomous glint flashed in Long Yuexi's eyes as eight pairs of wings sprouted from her back. Each pair of wings was densely covered with various runes.

Long Yuexi's wings, originating from her unique physique, contained an extraordinary supernatural power. With a gentle flap of her wings, a fierce wind arose and swept towards Shi Ji. Shi Ji immediately felt unsteady and was blown forward by the gale.

Long Yuexi quickly caught up, intending to take Shi Ji's life.

Shi Ji sneered, "You think you can kill me? Today I'll send you on your way!" With that, he raised his hand and struck Long Yuexi with his palm.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful, sending countless palm shadows hurtling towards Long Yuexi. Long Yuexi frantically swung her arms to defend, but Shi Ji's attacks were too strong, and her defenses quickly crumbled. In the end, Long Yuexi was sent flying by Shi Ji's palm strike.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Ji lunged forward, throwing a punch at Long Yuexi. Long Yuexi let out a hysterical roar, her eyes bloodshot, her face contorted with madness. She hadn't expected this young man to possess such fighting power. If she had known earlier, she would never have dared to compete with Shi Ji for the treasure. Her current miserable end was truly not what she had wanted.

Long Yuexi fought back desperately, but Shi Ji was too powerful. In the end, she was beaten to a pulp by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji took Long Yuexi's storage ring, opened it, and took out several healing pills, which she swallowed. His invaded soul gradually recovered. This woman possessed extraordinary abilities, but even with her immense strength, she couldn't escape her fate of demise.

"These pills are quite good. Refine them all," Shi Ji said, then put the pills away.

In Long Yuexi's storage ring, besides cultivation resources such as pills, magic weapons, and various materials, there were also three jade tubes. Shi Ji guessed that these three jade tubes contained records of a powerful supernatural ability or secret technique.

He carefully examined the contents of the jade slip, then selected a cultivation technique to study. This technique was called the "Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique," said to have been created by an ancient immortal, and was a powerful divine ability.

The Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique records an extremely powerful and heaven-defying martial art, but it also has certain flaws. Those who cultivate this divine power will be afflicted by a curse. However, Shi Ji is not afraid of curses, because he is the child of misfortune, and any curse is meaningless to him.

Time flies and three days pass in a flash.

Shi Ji opened her eyes, a look of joy on her face. The Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique was indeed heaven-defying! Although cultivating this divine power would incur a curse, Shi Ji could completely overcome it with the power of misfortune. Furthermore, she had even cultivated a Netherworld Dungeon, whose power was terrifying.

Shi Ji considered this supernatural ability one of her trump cards. If used properly, it would surely prove invaluable in the future.

Shi Ji left the area to continue her search for elixirs. It took her two days to gather all the necessary herbs. Along the way, they encountered many ferocious beasts, but their cultivation levels were generally low, and Shi Ji didn't take them seriously. Regardless of their level, any ferocious beast that encountered Shi Ji was basically instantly killed.

However, he occasionally encountered ferocious beasts at the Emperor Realm level. These beasts trembled with fear upon seeing Shi Ji, but instead of leaving, they hid deep within the mountains, observing the situation. This situation left Shi Ji quite helpless. If it were a powerful beast, he could have killed it, but these beasts were far too weak, and he couldn't be bothered with them.

Shi Ji continued her search for the elixir of immortality, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Beside a lake wreathed in flames, Shi Ji sat cross-legged, cultivating a divine power from the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique—the "Blood Sea Devouring Immortal Technique." This divine power governs the cultivator's soul; once unleashed, the cultivator's soul will merge into the sea of ​​blood, transforming into a blood demon within the river of blood.

The Blood Sea Devouring Immortal Technique is unpredictable and incredibly powerful. Once activated, it summons a Blood Demon formed from the technique. This Blood Demon can absorb the blood of cultivators to strengthen itself. The more powerful the being, the stronger the Blood Demon becomes.

Shi Ji is diligently cultivating the Blood Sea Devouring Immortal Technique. The conditions for using this technique are extremely demanding; it requires pouring one's own blood into a Blood Sea. The Blood Sea contains extremely strong corrosiveness and potent toxicity; once surrounded by the Blood Sea Devouring Immortal Technique…

Even a quasi-immortal level expert would likely find themselves in extreme danger when faced with this technique.

Once this supernatural power is successfully cultivated, its power is truly astonishing.

However, successfully cultivating this technique is no easy feat. First, the cultivator's blood must be of sufficiently pure purity; second, the Blood Sea Devouring Immortal Technique requires the power of a sea of ​​blood to be cast, and neither of these conditions can be neglected.

Shi Ji had already cultivated blood energy and was now attempting to infuse his own blood into the Blood Sea. He felt that as the blood continued to flow in, the waves in the Blood Sea became increasingly turbulent.

This supernatural power is about to be successfully cultivated.

He continued to circulate the blood, but couldn't help but frown slightly, realizing that the amount of blood was still far from enough.

"No, we need more blood!" Shi Ji said through gritted teeth.

His blood was pure enough that he decided to further improve its grade.

He took out all the items from the storage rings, which were originally left to the clan by Long Yuexi, but Shi Ji snatched them all without any politeness.

"Huh, why does this stone exude a sinister and cold aura, and it seems to be mixed with an extremely evil smell? What is this thing?" Shi Ji's gaze suddenly fell on a crystal clear stone bead.

The stone bead was shrouded in thick black mist, emanating a chilling aura.

"Could there be some secret hidden in this stone bead?" Shi Ji wondered, and tried to grab the stone bead.

However, the stone bead seemed to possess a spirit, and it broke free from the stone's restraints, disappearing without a trace in a flash of light.

The next moment, the stone bead burrowed directly into Shi Ji's body.

Shi Ji felt a wave of dizziness, and he quickly activated the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique to suppress the intense dizziness.

"What is this thing?" Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise.

The stone bead entered Shiji's soul world and hovered in mid-air, seemingly trying to break free and escape.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Shi Ji said indifferently, taking a step forward and standing in front of Shi Zhu.

With a wave of his right hand, a vast and boundless spiritual power surged forth, enveloping the stone bead.

The stone bead began to spin rapidly, releasing a layer of black mist that blasted away all the surrounding soul power.

"Good heavens!" Shi Ji exclaimed in utter astonishment. (End of Chapter)
