The two forces collided violently, sparks flew, and violent ripples spread outwards before they both retreated.

The Holy Lord of Wind and Thunder's face was as gloomy as dripping water; he had suffered a great loss from that attack.

Although Shi Ji was also seriously injured, fortunately she had the restorative effect of the Heaven-Mending Technique.

Therefore, Shi Ji is still in peak condition at this moment.

However, due to his severe injuries, Feng Lei Sheng Jun's combat strength had decreased significantly. At this moment, Shi Ji seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

"Boy, I will tear you to pieces!"

The Wind and Thunder Saint Lord roared and charged at Shi Ji once again.

Shi Ji sneered and continued charging towards Feng Lei Sheng Jun.

His supernatural powers were extremely strong, and each strike contained terrifying power capable of destroying the world. He fought fiercely with the Wind and Thunder Saint Lord.

Feng Lei Sheng Jun gradually lost his ability to resist and was forced to retreat. In the end, Shi Ji seized the opportunity.

Shi Ji pierced through the body of Feng Lei Sheng Jun with her sword.

Then, Shi Ji kicked out.

He kicked Feng Lei Shengjun away.

The Holy Lord of Wind and Thunder fell onto a distant hillside.

He struggled to his feet, but Shi Ji did not stop attacking.

There was a flash of light.

Three stone swords shot out.

It slashed straight at the Wind and Thunder Saint Lord.

"Spare my life!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the three stone swords, the Wind and Thunder Saint Lord was terrified and immediately begged for mercy.

Ignoring Fenglei Shengjun's pleas for mercy, Shiji rushed towards him, intending to kill him completely.

But at that moment, a terrifying surge of energy erupted.

"Boy, how dare you!"

A furious roar resounded, and a massive spiritual force swept across the heavens and earth, crushing down on Shiji.

Shi Ji's soul began to shake violently.

That spiritual power was so terrifying that it directly shocked Shi Ji's soul.

With a soft "plop," Shi Ji's brow split open.

"What a powerful mental attack!" Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise.

That burst of spiritual power was definitely released by an Emperor-level expert.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Ji quickly retrieved the three stone swords, and then his body transformed into a phantom shadow, fleeing into the distance.

"You little beast, you can't escape! Your end is nigh!"

The Holy Lord of Wind and Thunder chased after them from afar, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could skin Shi Ji alive.

Shi Ji sneered, "My doomsday? Who told you I came here to die? Once I'm free, it will be your doomsday!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji vanished without a trace.

"Where did this kid go?" Feng Lei Shengjun's expression turned extremely ugly.

He felt that Shi Ji's soul power was too strange.

Feng Lei Shengjun searched the surroundings carefully but still found nothing, which made him frown.

Shi Ji was too fast; he couldn't find any trace of her at all. It was as if Shi Ji had vanished into thin air.

"Could it be that this kid has concealed his identity?" Feng Lei Shengjun wondered.

But soon he shook his head and denied his idea.

If that were true, Shiji wouldn't have been so frightened.

Since he was able to hide himself, he must have been worried about being found.

After using the Great Thousand Worlds Secret Technique to hide herself, Shi Ji began to think about what to do next.

First and foremost, the most urgent task is to restore one's cultivation level. Only by restoring one's cultivation level can one deal with the Wind and Thunder Saint Lord.

Therefore, what Shi Ji needs to do now is to heal her injuries and refine elixirs to improve her cultivation.

Shi Ji took out two top-grade immortal pills and swallowed them. Then she activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique to quickly refine the immense energy contained in the two top-grade immortal pills.

Then he offered up more than a dozen top-grade spiritual herbs to temper his physical body.

Time passes quickly.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji's injuries have almost fully recovered.

He opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

Although he is not fully recovered, his fighting ability is much better than at his peak.

Shi Ji planned to continue refining the remaining two immortal pills to improve her cultivation.

But just then, a sinister and terrifying aura spread out and enveloped Shiji.

Shi Ji saw a woman in black walking towards her. This woman was charming and alluring, extremely beautiful, and was actually a woman.

Moreover, she looked very young, no different from someone in their twenties, but she exuded an extremely evil and sinister aura.

This startled Shi Ji.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on this forbidden area?" Shi Ji asked in a deep voice.

The woman asked, "Are you the Holy Infant?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji frowned slightly.

The woman knew she possessed the identity of the Holy Infant.

Could it be that she knows what the Holy Infant is?
Could it be that the Holy Infant is an incredibly powerful treasure? Or perhaps...

Was she here because of the Holy Infant?
Shi Ji spoke up, "That's right, I am the Holy Infant! Just who are you?"

"You are actually the Holy Infant! This is truly a surprise to me. I was planning to search for the Holy Infant everywhere, but I never expected to meet you here in the Forbidden Mountain today!"

The woman smiled alluringly, extended her finger, and lightly touched Shi Ji's lips with a provocative gesture. In an instant, Shi Ji felt an unbearable heat rising throughout her body.

"You came here specifically for me, didn't you?" Shi Ji's expression was indifferent, her gaze as cold as frost.

"You guessed right, they really came for you. I'm going to take your body."

A wicked smile appeared on the woman's lips as she reached out her hand to grab Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's face darkened instantly, and she raised her right hand to meet the woman's delicate hand.

The two forces collided, instantly unleashing a tremendous recoil force.

Shi Ji's body retreated backwards repeatedly.

The woman, however, stood firmly in mid-air like Mount Tai.

The woman said calmly, "Your physique is quite good, but with your current strength, you are no match for me. Hand over your body obediently, and perhaps I might spare your life!"

"You think you can kill me? How naive!"

Shi Ji burst into laughter. Although the woman before him was incredibly powerful, he felt no fear whatsoever.

"You really won't give up until you've hit rock bottom!"

The woman squinted and looked at Shiji.

"Enough talk! Let's get started!"

Shi Ji let out a cold shout and launched the first attack, quickly rushing towards the woman. He intended to fight her at close range to create more opportunities for himself.

"Stubborn fool! I'll deal with you slowly after I've suppressed you!"

The woman curled her lip in disdain.

She raised her slender hand and slapped it towards Shi Ji. That seemingly weak and powerless hand possessed terrifying strength.

With a loud crash, Shi Ji was sent flying, coughing up blood.

At this moment, the woman quickly caught up.

She moved with incredible speed, arriving beside Shi Ji in the blink of an eye, and slapped Shi Ji hard across the head. Shi Ji hurriedly activated the defensive secret technique of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Art—the Primordial Dragon Elephant Diagram.

The shield formed from the Primordial Dragon Elephant Diagram helped Shi Ji block the woman's attack.

But Shiji was still injured.

With a whoosh, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hehe, it seems your shield is quite formidable. However, even the strongest shield can break. Now, let's see how arrogant you can be?"

The woman grinned maliciously, stretched out her right hand, and reached directly for Shi Ji's neck, trying to snap it.

The woman moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Shi Ji in the blink of an eye, before Shi Ji could even react.

The woman's claws were about to grip Shi Ji's throat, at this critical moment.

Suddenly, countless runes surged from Shi Ji's body. These runes intertwined to form a barrier made of runes, enveloping Shi Ji within it.

The woman's attack struck the runic barrier, eventually breaking through it.

But the woman missed her target. She roared angrily, "Damn it, how could this guy have so many runes stored in his body?"

In that era, runes had long since disappeared.

Therefore, even if the powerful figures of that era cultivated rune techniques, their power was greatly reduced due to the incompleteness of the techniques, and very few people used runes.

However, Shiji's Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique is different from others.

The Ancient Dragon Elephant Manual records a variety of runic secret techniques.

Moreover, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique is extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary supernatural abilities.

Therefore, this supernatural power naturally contains a vast amount of runes, which are enough for Shi Ji to mobilize the power of runes for defense at any time.

The woman attacked again, heading straight for Shi Ji, intending to kill him while he was injured. But Shi Ji swiftly darted into the cave and locked the door to the stone chamber.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged in the stone chamber, recuperating from her injuries.

He has just suffered a severe injury and is very weak. He needs to recover as soon as possible in order to cope with the upcoming battle.

At this moment, the woman walked to the stone door and tried to push it, but she couldn't budge it at all.

"Damn it! This kid is really cunning."

The woman's beautiful face contorted into a grotesque expression, and she unleashed her "Devouring Demon Technique."

Three thousand vortexes appeared around the woman.

Each vortex is surrounded by a powerful devouring force.

Powerful waves of devouring force surged toward the stone gate, hoping to destroy it.

Just as the woman's devouring power was about to invade the stone gate, the runic barrier set up by Shi Ji suddenly activated.

The runes coalesced into a powerful attack, blasting towards the woman, who was thrown to the ground by the force of the attack.

Her face was terribly grim; she had failed to kill Shi Ji, which fueled her rage. She was consumed by the thought of eliminating Shi Ji and seizing his treasures, but that was clearly unrealistic, leaving her feeling utterly frustrated.

"I will kill you with my own hands!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in the woman's eyes.

She turned and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji breathed a long sigh of relief, finally escaping a disaster.

He took out some healing pills and consumed them, then used the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique to refine the pills and restore his body's health.

Shi Ji realized that her internal injuries were very serious.

Fortunately, he had a lot of pills on him; otherwise, he would probably have been waiting to die.

Three days later.

Shi Ji's injuries had fully healed, and he began to continue to comprehend the mysteries of the Azure Emperor Fist. He discovered that the essence of this fist technique lay in condensing the power of one's own internal energy and blood.

However, Shi Ji cannot do this because his physical body is not strong enough, unlike the Qingdi Immortal Lord, the ancestor of the Qingdi Immortal Sect, who possessed an immortal spiritual body.

Even if Shi Ji raised the power of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man to its peak, she still couldn't condense the power of blood and qi.

However, Shi Ji came up with a solution: to use her own magical power to temper her body.

When one's magical power is strong enough, the blood and qi in one's body can also be tempered.

Shi Ji cannot do that yet; she must improve her cultivation step by step.

Such an improvement cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

It took Shi Ji three years to cure the hidden ailment in his body. At this time, his cultivation level had reached the peak of the fifth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and he could break through to the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm at any time.

"Hey, what is this?"

Suddenly, Shi Ji was surprised to find a stone platform in a corner of the mountain, which seemed to be sealing something.

"Could this be the legendary Immortal Crystal?"

Upon seeing the stone platform, Shi Ji's gaze immediately turned fervent.

Immortal Crystal, as the name suggests, is a stone made by polishing immortal stones.

This stone is the highest grade of crystal.

It is said that the celestial liquid contained in the celestial crystal can cleanse the physical body.

Moreover, the immortal liquid inside the immortal crystal is of great value to many advanced cultivators.

If it is refined into a pill and taken, the effect will be even better.

Therefore, Shi Ji speculated that there might really be immortal crystals here.

The Immortal Crystal was an extremely precious treasure, and Shi Ji dug it out.

He collected several immortal crystals and then threw them into the Mountain and River Ring.

The Mountain and River Ring of Shiji was originally a priceless treasure.

However, as Shi Ji's cultivation level increased, the compatibility between the Mountain and River Ring and him gradually decreased.

Shi Ji estimated that it wouldn't be long before the Mountain and River Ring's level would drop to the level of a Celestial Artifact.

Shi Ji continued her search for other treasures.

Deep inside the cave, a stone chamber was filled with many skeletons.

The skeletons emanated an astonishing aura of malevolence.

These people were all extraordinary heroes in their lifetime.

But he ultimately met a tragic end here.

"Huh, there's a sword."

Suddenly, Shi Ji saw a rusty iron sword on the ground, covered with runes.

The runes emitted powerful fluctuations, and Shi Ji sensed that these runes were quite extraordinary.

Shi Ji picked up the iron sword from the ground and drew it.

Instantly, a terrifying aura spread.

This iron sword is actually a celestial sword.

"Such a powerful celestial weapon was left in this godforsaken place. I wonder who its owner was?"

Shi Ji muttered to himself as he carefully examined the iron sword. Although the sword was covered in rust, dense patterns were still visible on its blade. These patterns formed a design, resembling an array, seemingly concealing some astonishing secret.

"Huh, there's a drop of blood inside this iron sword." Shi Ji was surprised. He looked inside the iron sword and immediately saw a drop of golden blood flowing out.

This drop of blood, though small, contains extremely terrifying energy.

That terrifying power deeply shocked Shi Ji.

"This is the imperial bloodline of the imperial family. I never expected to see imperial bloodline here, and it's even just a drop."

The demon lord exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing the word "emperor," Shi Ji's eyes lit up. He was familiar with these two words, as his master had told him some related stories.

Imperial bloodlines are extremely rare, even originating from the bloodlines of emperors and kings from the late ancient era.

This kind of bloodline is formed at birth and is very difficult to change later in life.

Now that Shi Ji has encountered a drop of imperial bloodline, he is naturally extremely excited. If he can absorb this drop of imperial bloodline, he will surely be able to undergo a complete transformation, allowing his physical attributes to reach a whole new level. (End of Chapter)
