The Fire Crow Taoist nodded, then continued studying the two new weapon-refining techniques.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged, silently cultivating. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had been extremely busy every day.

Especially in recent months, he has felt his health deteriorating.

It seems like he could die at any moment.

This made Shi Ji very sad, because he hadn't lived enough yet. He didn't want to die like this; he still wanted to go home to see his mother and sister.

But he knew his lifespan was short, so he had to make the most of every minute to cultivate diligently.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have been given this opportunity.

On the morning of that day, Shi Ji opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He found that his physical condition was getting worse, so he stood up, left his residence, and planned to take a walk to clear his mind and see if it could alleviate his bad mood.

Shi Ji strolled outside, and just as he stepped outside, a giant ship flew in from afar and crashed down on him.

This is a demon ship.

The speed was too fast; in the blink of an eye, the Demon Boat was only about a hundred meters away from Shiji.

Then the powerful figure unleashed a treasure and launched it at Shi Ji.

This powerful figure clearly intends to deal with Shi Ji.

Seeing the demon ship attacking, Shi Ji sneered. He raised his right hand and slapped it directly into the void.

Shi Ji's palm strike contained terrifying power.

With a loud bang, the powerful figure piloting the demon ship was slapped away by Shi Ji.

He fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The cultivator roared, quickly got to his feet, and steered the demonic boat toward the rocky islet, preparing to suppress him.

But Shi Ji leaped up and floated through the air.

He kicked the demon boat.

A loud crash was heard.

The demon ship shattered instantly.

Shi Ji then stepped on the cultivator's chest.

"Spare me! Please spare me! I'm willing to be your slave!"

The monk turned pale with fright and pleaded in terror.

Shi Ji said calmly, "Spare my life is not out of the question, but you have betrayed me!"

"Betrayal? I didn't betray you, Master!" the cultivator exclaimed.

Shi Ji's divine sense surged, and she unleashed the secret technique of searching souls.

He activated it directly, and those memories transformed into light that surged into Shi Ji's mind.

Shi Ji quickly read many important memories.

This includes the names and cultivation levels of those cultivators, as well as the factions they belong to.

It turns out they belonged to a group of pirates.

The leader of the cultivators was called "Dragon Shark King," and he was a ruthless character.

It is said that it once annihilated an ancient kingdom.

Shi Ji felt a strong aversion to this guy. He was a bloodthirsty executioner, cruel and vicious, who had devoured the blood of countless living beings. Moreover, this guy enjoyed torturing and killing cultivators.

Back in the starry world, they killed countless human cultivators.

All these cultivators died at the hands of the Dragon Shark King. That guy is even more terrifying than a vampire; he's a complete monster.

Shi Ji crushed the cultivator's neck with a single squeeze.

At that moment, a series of violent fluctuations came from the surroundings, and three figures flew over quickly.

These three figures were the same three pirates that Shi Ji had encountered earlier.

Upon seeing the corpse lying in a pool of blood, the three pirates immediately revealed expressions of extreme rage, and they pointed at Shi Ji and roared.

"Boy, how dare you kill one of Lord Dragon Shark King's men! You're dead today, and you won't escape with your life!"

"I advise you to surrender obediently, kneel on the ground and wait to be tortured to death by us!"

The other two cultivators also made threats.

Shi Ji glanced at the three pirates and said indifferently, "Three ants-like beings dare to be arrogant in front of me. It seems that all three of you want to be killed."

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the three pirates flew into a rage and shouted, "Boy, how dare you call us three ants?"
"You're really asking for trouble! The three of us brothers combined are enough to annihilate a Celestial Realm expert. Even a Celestial Lord or Emperor-level powerhouse wouldn't stand a chance against us!"

"Hmph, what a frog in a well!"

Shi Ji sneered and rushed towards the three pirates.

The three pirates also quickly pounced on Shiji.

Shi Ji activated her Heaven-Mending Technique and unleashed a punch.

With three muffled thuds, Shi Ji easily destroyed the various attacks launched by the three pirates, and then punched them to death.

With the sudden sound of bones cracking, the three pirates were instantly torn to pieces by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's methods are truly outrageous and incredibly powerful.

Shi Ji put the three corpses into the Mountain and River Ring, and then quickly returned.

Upon returning, Shi Ji continued to study that supernatural power. Not long after, he mastered it.

This supernatural power is called "Myriad Manifestations Supernatural Power".

Shi Ji tried to activate the Myriad Manifestations Divine Power, and instantly, the spacetime power around him began to surge.

Shi Ji was slightly surprised; this supernatural power was truly unbelievable.

This all-encompassing divine power can not only mobilize the power of space and time, but also use the power of space and time to condense a space-time vortex to attack enemies.

If one could master this supernatural power, dealing with powerful enemies would be many times easier.

However, this supernatural power was indeed extraordinary. Shi Ji tried to use the Myriad Manifestations Supernatural Power to deal with a stone tablet.

However, the stone tablet remained completely still.

This supernatural power couldn't even shake the stone tablet, which greatly surprised Shi Ji.

"Could it be that he has inherited some kind of supreme divine power?" Shi Ji frowned.

Shi Ji continued to try to use her Myriad Manifestations Divine Power to deal with the stone tablet, but to no avail.

"Although the Myriad Manifestations Divine Power is powerful, it's still quite difficult to deal with that stone tablet. I shouldn't waste any more time; I should find something else to cultivate this divine power!"

Then Shi Ji entered the Mountain and River Ring to cultivate this Myriad Manifestations Divine Power.

This time, Shi Ji's efficiency in cultivating the Myriad Manifestations Divine Power increased significantly.

About six months later, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Power was finally perfected. Shi Ji attempted to condense a huge spacetime vortex.

Once the spacetime vortex condensed, it rushed forward.

With a violent impact, the solid mountain peak shattered instantly.

"Great! I have finally mastered this Myriad Manifestations Divine Power!"

Seeing such power, Shi Ji was extremely excited.

Without stopping, he continued to use his Myriad Manifestations Divine Power to create an even larger spacetime vortex, which then hurtled towards another mountain peak.

Another violent collision resounded, and then another mountain peak was destroyed by the spacetime vortex condensed by Shiji.

In this way, Shi Ji destroyed three mountain peaks in succession. After all three mountain peaks had been destroyed, Shi Ji felt that her magical power was almost exhausted.

"Unfortunately, with my current level of cultivation, I can only unleash about one-tenth of the power of the spacetime vortex!"

Spacetime vortexes are extremely terrifying techniques; even a trace of their power is enough to shock people.

The larger the spacetime vortex, the more terrifying its power. Of course, the number of spacetime vortices is also limited. A single spacetime vortex can only condense a maximum of two other spacetime vortices; this is a basic rule.

Furthermore, the speed at which a spacetime vortex is condensed is related to magical power. Generally speaking, those with better talent can condense spacetime vortices faster.

However, because Shi Ji possesses a special constitution that allows her to absorb the magical power of others, she can condense a spacetime vortex at a very rapid speed.

If it were an ordinary person, it would take a very long time to condense a spacetime vortex.

However, Shi Ji only needed a few breaths to condense it, and the spacetime vortex she created was extremely powerful.

"What is this?" Shi Ji frowned slightly.

When the fourth mountain collapsed, Shi Ji found a bead in the ruins.

The bead was crystal clear and emitted a dazzling light.

Shi Ji held the bead in her hand and examined it carefully. The surface of the bead was covered with densely packed runes. Shi Ji did not sense anything special about the bead.

However, Shi Ji knew that it could never be simple.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his turn to collect this treasure.

Shi Ji carefully put the bead away and then left the place.

This is an ancient area, full of ruins and dilapidated ancient buildings, which seem to have been the site of a fierce battle.

Shi Ji decided to conduct a search.

Suddenly, he heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Shiji flew toward the place where the sound came from.

Then, he heard a series of deep roars. Upon hearing those roars, Shi Ji couldn't help but show a look of joy.

Judging from the deep roar, the owner is clearly still alive and in good health.

Shi Ji swiftly traversed the ruined palace complex.

He went deeper into the palace complex, where a being shrouded in black mist sat cross-legged in the void, healing its wounds.

The creature shrouded in black mist possessed an extremely terrifying aura.

"Since you are alive, why don't you leave?" Shi Ji stepped forward and asked with a cold smile.

"Who are you? How dare you spy on me while I'm healing! Do you know your crime?"

The creature within the black mist opened its eyes, its gaze turning icy cold as it looked at Shi Ji.

"I wasn't spying on you. I just noticed your breathing was weak and I was worried something might happen to you!"

"Nonsense! Once I recover my cultivation, I will surely annihilate you, you lowly ant!"

The creatures within the black mist cursed viciously.

Shi Ji ignored the creatures in the black mist and turned to leave.

At that moment, the creature in the black mist called out to him.

"Is there anything else?" Shi Ji asked, her back to the creature in the black mist.

"Young brother, I am the Dark Lord. Here lies a divine power, and I hope you can help me comprehend it. If you succeed, I will owe you a great favor!"

"Oh? So it's Lord Dark Lord! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

The Dark Lord is an extremely powerful being.

He once roamed freely among the heavens.

However, the Dark Lord suffered a severe blow in his early years.

He escaped to a death trap, but ultimately perished there.

The Dark Lord left behind many treasures.

After these treasures were circulated, they attracted many experts to fight over them, and even involved many immortal-level forces.

Ultimately, even immortal-level forces became involved.

but no matter.

Many of the treasures once owned by the Dark Lord have fallen into the hands of celestial-level forces.

Many of the secret manuals he possessed were also obtained by some immortal-level forces.

Although the Dark Lord has fallen, his remains remain intact.

He fell in an ancient tomb, where the Dark Lord was buried, and the surrounding area was filled with malevolent energy.

Therefore, very few people come to this place.

Shi Ji was not afraid of the dangers left behind by the Dark Lord, and there might be some extraordinary items buried here, as the Dark Lord's remains were buried there.

Shiji naturally didn't want to miss out.

"Would you be willing to let me comprehend this supernatural power?"

“Of course I’m willing!” Shi Ji nodded in response.

As the Dark Lord spoke, he led Shi Ji down a secluded path. This path led directly into the depths of the ancient tomb, at the end of which lay a coffin.

Shi Ji and the Dark Lord arrived at the coffin.

The Dark Lord said, "Place your right hand on the coffin lid, then recite a spell. Remember! Only this spell can save your life!"

Following the instructions of the Dark Lord, Shi Ji began chanting the incantation. As soon as she uttered the first line, the coffin began to shake violently. Shi Ji quickly continued chanting.

There are eight incantations in total.

After the entire text was read, the coffin stopped shaking.

Shi Ji placed her palm on the coffin and then pushed the coffin lid open forcefully.

With a "click," the coffin lid was pushed open.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

A burly, muscular man lay in the coffin.

The man exuded a terrifying aura that was suffocating. Shi Ji was shocked; could this corpse have been a quasi-immortal level powerhouse in life?
His cultivation level is terrifying!

Thinking of this, Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You're still alive?"

The Dark Lord looked at Shi Ji with suspicion and narrowed his eyes.

The Dark Lord was also somewhat surprised by Shi Ji's methods; he hadn't expected her to be able to break the restrictions he had set up.

“You’re only alive here because of this stone coffin, aren’t you?” Shi Ji said.

"So what if it is?" the Dark Lord retorted.

Shi Ji said, "I guess you must have suffered a severe injury when you fell back then, which is why your cultivation level dropped, right?"

"Boy, I advise you not to talk back, or don't blame me for killing you!"

The Dark Lord's cold voice rang out.

His eyes grew even more sinister, as if he wanted to devour Shi Ji whole.

"Your injuries are severe, and I happen to know how to heal them. How about we work together? You give me something as payment, and I'll heal your injuries. It's a fair trade. Do you agree?"

"Boy, are you daydreaming? You think you can take on this emperor all by yourself? How foolish!"

Shi Ji said, "I admit that I am no match for you. But you are currently seriously injured, and you need my help to suppress the curse within you. Otherwise, given your injuries, even at your peak, I would still be no match for you!"

After listening to Shi Ji's analysis, the Dark Lord's expression changed slightly.

The Dark Lord was indeed on his last legs.

Therefore, the Dark Lord's current combat strength is less than one-tenth.

Moreover, his health was also very poor.

The Dark Lord roared in fury, "Tell me what you want! Whatever I have, I will grant it. But if you dare to cheat, believe me, I'll kill you first!" (End of Chapter)
