Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Upon seeing the old man, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically; this man was actually the father of the old man she had killed.

"Are you the father of that ancient beast?" Shi Ji looked at the old man in black robes in surprise.

"You little beast, you're quite clever!" The old man in black robes chuckled, his eyes fixed on Shi Ji with a sinister gaze.

"So that's how it is! You've been lurking in the shadows, observing me all along."

Shi Ji suddenly realized that the ancient beast's father was lurking in the shadows, intending to ambush her.

"Now it's your turn to bear the brunt of my wrath!"

The old man in black robes let out a low growl.

He opened his mouth and spat out a jet-black bead.

The bead exuded an extremely terrifying pressure.

After the bead appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, as if we had instantly fallen into the dead of winter.

"Could this be the Xuanming Pearl, formed from ten thousand years of Xuanming Iron?" Shi Ji frowned slightly.

Myriad-Year Dark Iron is a rare and precious material for refining artifacts.

The magical artifact forged from the Xuanming Iron of Ten Thousand Years is extremely powerful.

He once fought a fierce battle with the Demon Lord in the Chaos World.

Both sides employed a variety of powerful tactics to attack each other.

Finally, the Demon Lord unleashed the "Destroying the Sky Slash," a divine power of immense strength capable of destroying heaven and earth.

The black bead that the old man in black robes offered up was also known as the "Mysterious Nether Bead".

The power of the Xuanming Pearl is also extremely strong.

Shi Ji guessed that the black-robed old man's Xuanming Pearl was a "fake".

Of course, even if it's just a fake, it's terrifying enough.

The Xuanming Pearl floated in mid-air, releasing a dense array of runes. These runes distorted spacetime, forming a cage that sought to imprison Shiji.

"A mere trick." Shi Ji sneered, swinging her fist at the cage, intending to destroy it.

However, the cage was incredibly sturdy. Even with Shi Ji's fighting prowess, she was unable to destroy it and was instead thrown out, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

The Xuanming Pearl floated in mid-air, emitting strong fluctuations, with dense runes swirling around its black surface.

The runes intertwined, forming a powerful binding force.

The Xuanming Pearl locked onto Shiji and began to coil around him.

Shi Ji tried to resist the attack of the Xuanming Pearl, but failed several times. The cage was too powerful, making him afraid to approach, let alone stop its attack.

At the critical moment, a terrifying force swept over and blasted Shi Ji away.

Shi Ji fell hundreds of meters away, got up, looked ahead, and immediately showed a look of joy. He saw Murong Xian'er.

"Senior Sister Murong Xian'er, it's you."

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Murong Xian'er looked at Shi Ji in surprise.

Shi Ji said with a wry smile, "I encountered a formidable enemy and was almost killed by him! Fortunately, Miss Xian'er saved me, otherwise I would have been in danger today!"

"I just happened to be passing by," Murong Xian'er said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Miss Xian'er."

"You're too kind. We're both cultivators from the Southern Continent, so it's only right that I help you!"

Shi Ji asked, "Where is Miss Xian'er going? If you don't mind traveling with me, I'll escort you after I've dealt with that ancient beast. How about that?"

"Is this appropriate?" Murong Xian'er's pretty face flushed red, clearly secretly pleased.

“What’s inappropriate about it? We have no grudges against each other,” Shi Ji said.

"Let's go then," Murong Xian'er said with a smile.

The two then flew towards the depths of the mountains.

A thick miasma permeated the mountains and forests.

Murong Xian'er's face turned pale.

"I'll help you get rid of the miasma."

Shi Ji said, reaching out to embrace Murong Xian'er's slender waist.

His large hand caressed Murong Xian'er's soft, delicate body.

"Mmm," Murong Xian'er gasped softly.

Shi Ji said with a grin, "Is Miss Xian'er a little excited?"

"Nonsense." Murong Xian'er glared at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji smiled, then activated her magic and placed her palm on Murong Xian'er's back.

A surge of powerful magic energy flowed into Murong Xian'er's body.

Murong Xian'er felt the magical power transmitted from Shi Ji flowing continuously, like a surging river.

She felt that Shiji's magical power was as vast as the ocean.

He was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.

Shi Ji is so young, yet she possesses such profound magical power.

This greatly surprised Murong Xian'er.

She would never have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The magical power that Shi Ji passed on to Murong Xian'er was indeed powerful. Murong Xian'er quickly recovered and gradually got rid of the miasma's effects.

Murong Xian'er looked at Shi Ji with a hint of surprise.

She had never seen such a powerful expert before.

Shi Ji seemed to notice the strange look in Murong Xian'er's eyes as well. For some reason, he felt that the beautiful Xian'er girl's gaze towards him contained some kind of profound meaning.

"Miss Xian'er, do we still need to hurry on our way?" Shi Ji scratched her head awkwardly.

Murong Xian'er said, "There's no rush. Let's find a safe place to rest for a while."

Upon hearing Murong Xian'er's words, Shi Ji nodded and followed her to a cave.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged in the cave.

He carefully studied the black-robed man's curse technique and discovered that although it was powerful, it had weaknesses.

The man in black robes was not particularly strong, so although this curse technique was powerful, it had a fatal flaw.

Shi Ji planned to wait until her injuries had healed slightly before unleashing the power of the Dragon Elephant Arm, which was five times stronger, to instantly kill the man in black robes.

"You little beast, prepare to die!"

Suddenly, an extremely cold sound came from outside the cave.

Immediately afterwards, an old man strode in, wearing bronze armor and wielding a giant golden hammer.

The aura emanating from the old man was extremely terrifying.

This old man must be the guard of the old man in black robes, and his cultivation level has actually reached the Emperor level.

Such an existence is absolutely heaven-defying.

A chilling killing intent flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

This guy arrived just in time.

This actually helped him neutralize the attack of the curse.

Shi Ji shouted loudly, clenched her right fist, and smashed it directly at the old man.

He intended to use his physical strength to directly confront a powerhouse at the Emperor level.

The old man grinned maliciously and swung his golden hammer fiercely at Shi Ji.

The two sides collided together.

There was a sound of bones breaking.

Shi Ji's arms were instantly shattered by the golden hammer. Her legs were also broken, and she was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

Shi Ji's face was extremely gloomy.

He had just suffered a fierce battle and was seriously injured. If the fight continued, he would surely be defeated.

"Boy, even with extraordinary abilities, you can't change the outcome!"

The old man sneered, strode towards the rocky shore, and said indifferently, "Boy, do you have any last words?"

"Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Shi Ji gritted her teeth, her face contorted.

"You have no right to know! All you need to understand is that you will soon become a corpse! And I will take everything from you!"

The old man's voice was deep, and his eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"Is that so? Then try and see if you have the right to kill me."

Shi Ji's voice was icy cold.

He quickly stood up and immediately drew his stone sword.

The stone sword trembled violently and suddenly slashed out.

A clanging sound suddenly erupted.

The stone sword was extremely powerful.

With three consecutive sword strikes, the old man's golden hammer was cleaved in two.

The old man's chest was instantly ripped open, revealing his white chest cavity. He was severely injured and dared not linger, so he turned and fled into the distance.

But the next moment.

Shi Ji used her spatial teleportation technique to instantly intercept the old man, and then quickly rushed towards him.

The old man was terrified and retreated frantically, but Shi Ji was too fast, and he couldn't dodge her incredibly swift attack.

With a tearing sound, Shi Ji ripped open the old man's chest.

The old man cried out pitifully as his body fell to the ground.

Then, his soul tried to struggle to leave his body, but dense runes emanated from Shiji's brow.

These runes imprisoned the old man's soul.

Shi Ji used her soul-searching technique to begin searching the old man's memories.

Shi Ji's face immediately lit up with joy. She had originally thought that the black-robed old man's cultivation had reached the Emperor level.

But it seems that he has not broken through to the Emperor realm.

The old man in black robes was at least at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level.

To Shi Ji, such cultivation was utterly insignificant.

Even with his powerful physical body, he is still not a threat.

After the soul search was completed, the old man had already lost his life.

Shi Ji accepted his storage ring and treasures.

He refined the old man, then devoured his bloodline and lifespan.

He discovered that the old man's bloodline was quite pure.

Although Shi Ji's bloodline is also that of a ninth-rank dragon.

However, the bloodline he awakened was the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, which is the supreme bloodline recognized by the dragon race.

Even though Shi Ji's cultivation level is now much lower than the old man's.

Shi Ji's bloodline still suppressed the old man's bloodline.

Furthermore, Shi Ji's magical power was far greater than the old man's, which allowed him to easily suppress the old man; otherwise, the old man would have already caused a great upheaval.

Shi Ji's injuries are healing rapidly.

Shi Ji cleaned up the surrounding battlefield, where the fighting had attracted a lot of attention.

"Isn't that Zhao Lingfeng? How did he get injured?"

someone exclaimed.

Shi Ji naturally recognized Zhao Lingfeng; he had fought Zhao Lingfeng before.

Moreover, Zhao Lingfeng was also thinking of stealing his Dragon Tiger Fruit.

However, Zhao Lingfeng ultimately failed and fled in a sorry state.

Shi Ji remembered that Zhao Lingfeng was a cultivator at the fourth level of the Emperor Realm.

Now that Shi Ji has advanced to the first level of the Emperor Realm, her strength has increased by more than several hundred times.

Now that Zhao Lingfeng was still thinking of dealing with him, Shi Ji was quite annoyed.

Shi Ji had not forgotten that Zhao Lingfeng had tried to kill her before, but fortunately, the magical artifact he controlled was powerful.

Otherwise, he would have died at Zhao Lingfeng's hands long ago. Moreover, Zhao Lingfeng had stolen his Dragon Tiger Fruit and was now leading an army of tens of millions to hunt him down.

Shi Ji must get revenge. He wants to kill Zhao Lingfeng, then plunder his treasures to compensate for the wealth he has lost.

Shi Ji vanished quickly, concealing her presence, and flew into the depths of the dark forest.

He was searching for the soul of the old man in the black robe.

But the old man in black robes seemed to sense the danger, detached from his body, and fled into the distance. Shi Ji sensed the old man's soul aura.

Shi Ji sneered and sped up, quickly chasing after the fleeing soul of the black-robed old man.

His soul power was exceptionally strong; he locked onto the black-robed old man's soul aura and gave chase.

Soon.

Shi Ji then chased after that illusory soul.

"Devour it."

Shi Ji sneered.

A powerful devouring force surged forth, enveloping the black-robed elder's soul. The elder's soul immediately felt as if it were about to be stripped away by Shi Ji.

He tried to fight back, but he couldn't withstand Shi Ji's attacks.

The old man in black robes was sucked into the Gate of Destiny by Shi Ji.

The old man in black robes entered the Gate of Destiny and saw Shi Ji's soul sitting cross-legged in front of it. His soul showed an expression of utter shock, because he sensed that Shi Ji's soul was even more powerful than his own.

"This is absolutely impossible! How could your soul be so powerful? Have you already broken through to the Emperor Realm? No, this is impossible. In just ten years, you have jumped from the first level of the Emperor Realm to the second level? Could it be that you have taken some kind of heaven-defying elixir?" The black-robed old man was furious and roared repeatedly.

Shi Ji remained calm and replied indifferently, "That's right, I did indeed consume an Emperor-level Immortal Pill, so your plan is doomed to fail!"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's admission, the black-robed elder's eyes were filled with disbelief. He was well aware of the immense value of the Emperor's Elixir, but in this world, apart from the royal family, who would dare to covet it?
"If it weren't for your strange methods, you wouldn't have been able to imprison my soul! Just you wait, I'll make you suffer all kinds of torture and die without a burial place!" The old man in black robes cursed viciously, hating Shi Ji to the bone.

Shi Ji's expression was cold, his gaze piercing. He flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame rose into the air, heading straight for the black-robed elder's soul. The flames roared, completely engulfing the black-robed elder's soul, ultimately reducing him to ashes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Ji devoured all of the black-robed elder's essence and lifespan, and her cultivation level rose again, entering the mid-stage of the second level of the Emperor Lord realm.

He then discovered the black-robed elder's storage ring, which contained five fist-sized stone beads, shrouded in black mist and radiating powerful energy.

"These are Five Elements Yin-Yang Stones." Shi Ji's gaze narrowed slightly as she carefully examined them and confirmed their authenticity. These stone beads contain immense power of the five elements; if one could cultivate using them, it would definitely greatly enhance their combat strength.

The Five Elements Yin-Yang Stone was not unfamiliar to Shi Ji. In the Northern Underworld, there was an ancient forest of Yin Sha, within which the Five Elements Yin-Yang Stone was nurtured. It was said that the ancient forest was connected to another era, but Shi Ji had no idea which era it was. After all, such a thing was far too incredible.

"This is truly a fine item." Shi Ji's lips curled into a smile. This Five Elements Yin-Yang Stone is priceless.

He put the Five Elements Yin-Yang Stone into his pocket and continued searching for Zhao Lingfeng's soul. However, Zhao Lingfeng's soul had already escaped, and its location could not be pinpointed. Shi Ji guessed that Zhao Lingfeng's soul might have been fused with some special treasure, which allowed it to escape.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ji finally found the unconscious Zhao Lingfeng behind a boulder. His soul was imprisoned in his mind and had not yet perished. Shi Ji quickly pulled Zhao Lingfeng's soul out of his mind.

"How dare you devour my soul!" Zhao Lingfeng glared venomously at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji said coldly, "Your soul may be strong, but it's no match for me. Surrender obediently!"

Zhao Lingfeng sneered, "Want to enslave me? Dream on!" With that, a terrifying surge of energy erupted as he chose to spontaneously combust his soul, intending to perish together with Shi Ji.

However, Shi Ji remained unmoved, allowing Zhao Lingfeng's soul to spontaneously combust. In the end, Zhao Lingfeng's soul turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

After looting Zhao Lingfeng's storage ring, Shi Ji left the area and returned to the Shanhe Starship. (End of Chapter)
