Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

This stone bead is truly bizarre; even his soul power cannot harm it in the slightest.

Shi Ji continued to control her soul power to attack the stone bead, while a strange and terrifying aura emanated from the stone bead and surged towards Shi Ji.

These auras were actually able to corrupt Shiji's soul.

"What terrifying power!" Shi Ji dared not hesitate and immediately shut down her six senses and isolated her soul to prevent that mysterious power from polluting her soul.

The power emanating from that mysterious stone bead seemed to be some kind of special curse. Shi Ji felt affected by this curse; it had invaded his soul.

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, a truly awful experience.

It felt as if her internal organs, limbs, and bones were being frozen stiff; the pain nearly drove Shi Ji to the brink of collapse.

"Damn curse power!" Shi Ji roared in anger, quickly activating the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique to resist this terrifying curse power.

The Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique is a unique skill specifically designed to counter various curses and injuries.

The King of the Netherworld, who reigned supreme for countless ages, cultivated this technique and slew countless powerful enemies.

Shi Ji's soul was imprisoned, but the strange and powerful curse continued to flow from the stone bead, seemingly endless.

"As expected of the mysterious stone bead that could trap that old monster from the Eternal Immortal Sect, it's ridiculously powerful. If this continues, my physical body might be destroyed!" Shi Ji pondered, trying to dispel the curse power inside the stone bead.

This mysterious stone bead is indeed very strange, but since it was collected by that cultivator from the Eternal Immortal Sect, it means that the cultivator has mastered all the secrets of this stone bead.

Shi Ji decided to study this mysterious stone bead and try to use her magic to bring it to her side.

But in the end he failed; the stone bead did not react at all.

"It seems we must find a way to activate it, otherwise we won't be able to get close to this mysterious stone bead at all," Shi Ji thought to herself.

He tried to infuse his magic into the stone bead.

The moment his magic touched the stone bead, a terrifying devouring force surged from within it, attempting to absorb Shi Ji's magic.

Shi Ji quickly withdrew her magic.

Although the power surging from the stone bead was strong, it still could not devour Shi Ji's magic power.

Shi Ji couldn't help but show a look of joy. It seemed that the stone bead had not fully awakened and should still be in a dormant state.

If I wait any longer until the stone bead fully awakens, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this treasure.

In the days that followed, Shi Ji continued to try, and he discovered that the stone beads seemed to be continuously reviving.

After three days and three nights, Shi Ji's soul was exhausted and her eyelids were so heavy that she could barely open them. In the end, she even fell into a coma.

Shi Ji fell into a deep sleep again. After waking up,
He found himself still standing in the same spot.

And that mysterious stone bead was suspended in mid-air.

Shi Ji reached out and grabbed at the stone bead.

The stone bead began to shake violently.

With a loud "bang," the stone bead shattered.

"You bastard, you've ruined our big plan!"

A venomous roar echoed through the air.

As the roar subsided, a phantom figure appeared; it was a female cultivator.

The female cultivator was stunningly beautiful, dressed in a white dress, and stood gracefully.

But her face was as pale as paper, her body was extremely weak, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"It's you?" Shi Ji's pupils suddenly contracted. Wasn't this female cultivator his wife, Murong Wan'er?

When he first met Murong Wan'er in the mountains, she was still in spirit form.

Later, his soul was summoned away by that strange black iron key.

After his soul returned to its place, he heard that Murong Wan'er had already perished.

But Shi Ji never expected that she would see a wisp of Murong Wan'er's fragmented soul. However, this fragmented soul was clearly severely injured, and now it seemed that Murong Wan'er's fragmented soul had become like this.

"Shiji! You really are here!"

The illusory figure became excited upon seeing Shi Ji.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

“My name is Xiaoling. I have rewritten your memories, so you have forgotten a lot of things, haven’t you? I once told you that if a destined person comes to this altar, they will be able to break a seal in that storage ring!”

"And you are the one destined for us!"

"Why should I believe you?" Shi Ji retorted.

Murong Wan'er sneered, "I don't need you to believe me! I need you to work for us!"

Shi Ji frowned. This woman's personality was too domineering.

Does he really think he can't do anything about her?

Shi Ji said coldly, "Do you think I really can't do anything to you? I'll destroy this remnant of your soul right now!"

Shi Ji's voice was as cold as frost.

His magical power instantly condensed into dense runes.

Then these runes moved toward Murong Wan'er's soul imprint.

"No, spare me! I was wrong, please, spare me! I'm willing to submit to you, please let me go."

Murong Wan'er's voice was full of pleading.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and intensified her magical attack.

Soon, Murong Wan'er's remnant soul could not withstand Shi Ji's magic power.

With a series of cracking sounds, Murong Wan'er's remnant soul shattered and vanished without a trace.

Murong Wan'er's remnant soul was completely destroyed by Shi Ji.

Moreover, Shiji gained a great deal from this battle.

For example, Murong Wan'er's storage ring contained many powerful pills, including some of the elixir-level.

In addition, Murong Wan'er also possesses two other items: a jade talisman and a black magic bead.

The jade talisman contained extremely powerful fluctuations, and Shi Ji guessed that it might be a talisman.

The black magic orb was surrounded by billowing black mist.

This magic orb was extremely mysterious; Shi Ji felt his magical power being devoured by it. When he tried to communicate with the orb, there was no response.

"That is the power of the Demon Lord."

The Demon Lord's voice suddenly rang in Shi Ji's mind.

"What? That demonic orb actually seals the Demon Lord's power?"

Shi Ji's face showed an expression of utter shock.

A tremendous storm raged in his heart.

The Demon Lord is a legendary powerhouse at the Emperor level!

This is a true master.

It is said that the Demon Lord has already ascended to a higher world.

Now, a corpse and a magic bead have been left behind.

This greatly shocked Shi Ji.

The Demon Lord of that time was unimaginably powerful.

The Demon Lord's power in life was truly overwhelming. Even though he has been dead for countless millennia, the Demon Orb he left behind still retains much of his former power.

If one could refine the Demon Pearl and obtain a trace of the Demon Lord's legacy,
Wouldn't that be defying the heavens?
Of course, Shi Ji also knew that the hope of refining the Demon Lord's corpse was extremely slim.

But even if there's only a sliver of a chance, he will never give up.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged on the ground.

He immediately activated the Immortal Bible, beginning to absorb the powerful energy emanating from the Demon Lord's corpse.

That power was simply too vast and boundless.
Like an endless ocean, flowing ceaselessly.

Shi Ji's body was like a giant vortex, frantically devouring this power.

"What an amazing devouring technique! This skill is simply heaven-defying!"

Upon witnessing Shi Ji's Devouring Technique, Murong Wan'er's eyes lit up instantly, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

The stronger Shi Ji became, the happier she was.

If one can successfully possess Shiji

Murong Wan'er felt confident that she would be reborn and completely transformed.

She continued to observe Shiji quietly from the side.

It took Shi Ji five or six days to refine all the power that had escaped from the Demon Lord's corpse.

His cultivation level also rose to the eighth level of the True Immortal realm.

Although she was only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of True Immortal, Shi Ji knew all too well how difficult that step would be.

To break through to the ninth level of True Immortal, one must accumulate a massive amount of magical power.

However, accumulating enough magical power in a short period of time is by no means easy.

Because each breakthrough in a minor realm requires the accumulation of a vast amount of magical power as support. Without sufficient magical power...
To reach the next level,
That's just wishful thinking.

Shi Ji stepped out of the stone chamber and found herself in an ancient temple.

A faint crimson light lingered around this ancient temple.

Shi Ji carefully examined the ancient temple, feeling that it was quite similar to the ancient temple she had seen when she entered the forbidden zone of the Burial God years ago.

"This should be Murong Wan'er's tomb," Shi Ji murmured to herself, then strode towards the palace. However, after only a few steps...
His body began to tremble violently, his legs buckled, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to grab the wall beside him in time, otherwise he would have definitely fallen.

"What's going on? My body has gone out of control!"

Shi Ji was horrified. His body, which he had previously controlled, had suddenly become uncontrollable—a truly incomprehensible situation. Moreover, the body was struggling violently, as if trying to burst out of his body.

Shi Ji tried her best to suppress her physical body while rapidly circulating the Immortal Bible.

Under the suppression of the Immortal Bible, Shi Ji finally suppressed her physical body.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze fell upon the stone chamber ahead.

Murong Wan'er's remains lay in the stone chamber, appearing to be long since decomposed.

Shi Ji dared not approach the stone coffin, for it emitted a chilling aura.

When Shi Ji's gaze swept over the stone coffin, the coffin began to shake violently.

A terrifying demonic power surged from inside the stone coffin.

Immediately afterwards, a withered arm reached out and grabbed at the rock.

Shi Ji was startled.
He quickly retreated. But the withered claw was too eerie, and it grabbed at him.

Shi Ji felt as if her body was locked in place.
The withered claw grabbed his neck and yanked it sharply.

A tearing sound suddenly rang out.

Shi Ji had half of her arm torn off.

He quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and the withered claw, and then drew his Overlord Blade.

Ba Dao unleashed a powerful slash, attempting to sever the withered claw.

However, when the tyrant's blade struck the withered claws, it failed to cause any damage. Instead, the withered claws easily grabbed the blade and pulled it outwards.

With a "crack", the Overlord Blade was broken.

Shi Ji retreated again, dodging the attack range of the withered claws.

He roared with his head raised, and his body began to swell, transforming into human form.

After transforming into human form, Shi Ji, wielding a fragment of the Overlord Blade, swiftly charged towards the withered claw.

With a loud crash, the two sides clashed.

Shi Ji's tiger's mouth split open, bleeding profusely, and fragments of the Overlord Blade shattered. He staggered back more than ten meters before he could dissipate the terrifying force emanating from him.

Shi Ji looked up and saw

Then, that terrifying being reappeared in their sight.

He saw the face clearly; it was pale and covered in wrinkles.

Shi Ji's expression turned serious. He could tell that this thing was no ordinary object; it was terrifying beyond measure.

"Hehehehe, you are indeed no ordinary cultivator. You were able to withstand my attack. You have truly impressed me!"

The withered claw chuckled eerily, its voice harsh and unpleasant, sending chills down one's spine.

That withered claw could not only manipulate the cultivator's body,
It can also manipulate the souls of cultivators.

"Old man, who are you? Why do you call yourself 'Ancestor'? Could you be some kind of big shot?"

Shi Ji asked coldly. Despite his apprehension towards this mysterious being,
But he remained calm.

Since this mysterious being calls himself an ancestor, perhaps he really is a living emperor-level being?

This being's strength may have already surpassed the Emperor realm and entered a more profound level.

"Boy, tell me, how did you find this place? And how did you cross that area filled with black fog?"

Shi Ji looked surprised and replied, "I came here at the invitation of Murong Wan'er. However, she did not invite me into her mausoleum, but led me into that ancient tomb."

Inside the ancient tomb, I discovered this skeleton. I guessed it might be what Murong Wan'er left behind after her death, so I went inside to search for treasures. I actually found quite a few valuable materials.

There were even many miraculous medicines. However, I didn't see her storage ring; I wonder where it was hidden?

The mysterious being frowned slightly.

Clearly, Shi Ji's words did not completely dispel his doubts.

Shi Ji felt a sense of foreboding. The creatures in this forbidden zone clearly did not fully trust her yet. What should she do?
Escaping would be extremely difficult.

Shi Ji even began to suspect that Murong Wan'er had deliberately set a trap for him, but he couldn't figure out the specific reason.

"Boy, you'd better explain what you just said to the ancestor! If you dare to deceive the ancestor, the ancestor will not let you off easily!" the mysterious being threatened viciously.

"Which of my words are false? I did indeed encounter danger! Not long ago, Murong Wan'er's body crawled out of the crystal coffin."

The woman's identity remains a mystery, but her physical body, sealed for tens of thousands of years, is still terrifyingly powerful. I fought her fiercely, and was severely injured in the end!

After hearing Shi Ji's words, the mysterious being's emotional fluctuations intensified significantly.

Shi Ji also took the opportunity to observe the situation of this mysterious being more carefully.

"Are you lying? With your cultivation level, how could you possibly defeat that woman?" the mysterious being continued to question coldly, clearly still skeptical of Shi Ji's words.

“If I really wanted to deceive you, I would have taken the opportunity to escape now. Why would I be standing here waiting for you to interrogate me?” Shi Ji retorted.

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the mysterious being. (End of Chapter)
