Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Outside the city of Donghuang, a massive military camp guarded the city gate, with densely packed ranks of cultivators standing in neat rows, ready for battle.

The monks were busy checking the travel documents of each person entering the city.

Shi Ji successfully submitted her travel documents and then stepped into the magnificent Eastern Wilderness City.

The Eastern Wilderness City is vast in scale, with a rugged yet magnificent architectural style.

The streets were bustling with monks, a constant stream of them.

Shi Ji entered the city and went straight to an inn called Juyunlou. It is said that the innkeeper was not only extremely beautiful, but also gentle and kind, and therefore her reputation was widespread in Donghuang City.

Shi Ji found a private room in Juyun Tower and settled in. Then, he took out the numerous treasures he had seized from the demons from his storage ring. These storage rings were filled with mountains of spirit stones, immortal crystals, and divine pills, a dazzling array of treasures.

Shi Ji planned to organize her belongings and select the treasures that best suited her needs for daily life.

Besides these common treasures, the storage ring also contains many strange and unusual items, which are of great help to Shi Ji.

Among them, a Water and Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit is particularly eye-catching.

This level of elixir might be like a useless ingredient to ordinary people, since no one can refine its essence.

However, for Shiji, the Water and Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit was a rare and highly nourishing tonic.

The Water-Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit is a very special spiritual medicine formed by the fusion of extreme ice and extreme fire attributes.

It has immense benefits for both a cultivator's physical body and spiritual power. After Shi Ji consumes it, her physical recovery speed will increase dramatically, possibly even by dozens of times. The effect is so extraordinary that it is astonishing.

Of course, such a precious Water-Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit is priceless and beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

But for Shi Ji, these treasures were not too valuable, because he had many resources to exchange for them.

Shi Ji took out all the spiritual materials, then sat cross-legged and began to refine her physical body. The essence of the Water-Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit continuously nourished Shi Ji's flesh and blood, tempering her body.

As time went by, Shi Ji's body began to radiate a hazy glow, and the impurities within her flesh were gradually condensed.

As impurities were expelled, Shi Ji's physical body became increasingly pure.

Shi Ji's current cultivation level has reached the eighth level of the Emperor Realm, but his physical body is still in the process of transformation.

This period of transformation was crucial for him, as it was the key to his breakthrough to the Ninth Heaven.

However, this period of transformation is exceptionally arduous and difficult, and it is unknown how many years of trials and tribulations it will require.

What Shi Ji is doing now is trying to transform her physical body.

He closed his eyes and silently contemplated the mysteries within the Water and Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit.

In the blink of an eye, three years have quietly passed.

Shi Ji finally completed the tempering of his physical body by the Water and Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit. At this time, his physical body had been transformed, his skin was crystal clear like jade, and his blood was full of vitality like mercury.

Shi Ji felt as if boundless power was hidden within her flesh and blood.

In addition, his magical power has grown to the peak of the eighth level of the Emperor Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the ninth level.

However, Shi Ji discovered that the rate at which her magical power was increasing was gradually slowing down, seemingly reaching a saturation point and making it difficult to continue increasing.

He understood that no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain; he needed to find another way to break through to the ninth level of the Emperor Realm.

The Water and Fire Immortal Lotus Fruit was one of the shortcuts he chose, as it could transform Shi Ji's physical body, bringing it to its most perfect state.

In this state, Shi Ji might be able to reach the ninth level of the Emperor Realm.

In the days that followed, Shiji traveled the world while diligently cultivating himself.

Time flies, and seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shi Ji arrived at the depths of a mountain range called Tianlang Plain. This place was inhabited by a large number of demonic beasts, mainly divided into three categories: one category was rare and exotic demonic beasts; another category was the top-tier existences among demonic beasts, such as powerful races like the dragon and phoenix clans; and the last category was ordinary demonic beasts.

Shi Ji saw a pack of black demon wolves attacking two demon tigers.

These black demon wolves were incredibly ugly, while the two demon tigers were exceptionally ferocious.

Despite the black wolf's formidable strength, it was still repeatedly defeated by the two demon tigers.

The two demonic tigers roared deafeningly, and one of them suddenly leaped up and pounced on a black demonic wolf.

The demonic wolf bared its fangs and claws, tearing at the target. The two collided violently, a clanging sound rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

The wolf's mouth split open instantly, dripping with blood, but it seized the opportunity to pounce on the tiger, grabbing its right leg and biting its sharp fangs into the tiger's neck.

With a gnawing sound, the black wolf ripped the tiger's head off and swallowed it whole with its gaping maw.

"Holy crap, that's brutal!" Shi Ji exclaimed in shock, speechless.

"Little brat, how dare you spy on me?" A cold voice echoed in the void.

Shi Ji looked up and saw a cloud of black mist writhing in the void, eventually transforming into an old man in black robes.

The old man in black robes stared at Shi Ji with a sinister expression on his face.

"Since you are able to take human form, you must be the true Ghost King, right?" Shi Ji asked.

"Hehe, what do you think?" The old man in black robes chuckled sinisterly.

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you, get lost!" Shi Ji said, waving her hand.

Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes flew into a rage: "You little beast, how dare you insult me! I will drain your life force and leave you wishing for death!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man in black robes opened his mouth and spewed out a jet-black demonic flame that surged toward Shiji like a tidal wave.

This demonic flame is incredibly powerful; if one were to come into contact with it, they would likely be burned to ashes.

Faced with the black-robed elder's attack, Shi Ji quickly retreated to create distance, then activated his magic to unleash the second move of the Supreme Sword Manual—Slaying Immortals. He poured his magic power into the Supreme Sword Manual, and a dazzling sword light flew out, slashing towards the black-robed elder.

The old man in black robes snorted coldly and activated a pagoda of ancient weapon level to bombard the sword light, directly destroying Shi Ji's sword light and continuing to suppress it.

Shi Ji quickly fled into the distance, dodging the pagoda's attack. The pagoda was far too powerful; he dared not confront it head-on.

"Huh, it's actually a powerful divine ability, but it's useless to me!" the black-robed old man said with a sneer. He summoned a shield that floated in mid-air and spun violently to form a light shield to protect himself and block Shi Ji's attack.

"Human brat, you can't do anything to me. Just surrender obediently and I'll spare your life!" the black-robed old man said smugly.

Shi Ji sneered, "You alien creatures have all fled like stray dogs. I really don't know if you've lost your minds, daring to act arrogantly outside? You're simply courting death! Have you forgotten the scene of being hunted down back then?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder's expression suddenly darkened. He was called the Black-Robed Underworld Lord, and was once a master of the Alliance of Myriad Races.

Later, when the Alliance of All Races was attacked, many forces joined the struggle to divide up the resources, and the Black-Robed Underworld Lord also joined the conflict.

He was able to escape from the Alliance of All Races due to his formidable strength and sought a place to recover from his injuries.

It wasn't until recently that he gradually recovered to his peak condition and even made further progress in his cultivation.

The Black-Robed Underworld Lord originally planned to wait until his injuries were fully healed before emerging from seclusion, but his eyes lit up immediately upon sensing the immortal energy emanating from Shi Ji.

He believed that immortal energy was a good thing, and the more energy it contained, the better. If he could devour Shi Ji, he might recover more quickly.

"You little beast, today I'll show you my power!" The black-robed Underworld Lord grinned maliciously as he manipulated the giant rock in his hand to smash it rapidly towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's face showed a solemn expression. This black-robed Underworld Lord was indeed terrifying. Even with only his primordial spirit imprint remaining, he was still so powerful. She really didn't know what level his cultivation had reached at his peak.

He trembled slightly and unleashed the third move of the Supreme Sword Manual—Supreme Sword Intent.

A buzzing sound emanated from his body as he swung his fist at the incoming boulder.

The attack collided violently with the boulder of the black-robed elder. The elder's expression changed slightly; his magical power was actually unable to withstand Shi Ji's attack.

The Black-Robed Underworld Lord was indeed an old monster. He quickly retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Shi Ji, but Shi Ji had already rushed over and continued to smash his right fist at him.

At this moment, the Black-Robed Underworld Lord took out a black spear and unleashed it, exuding a sinister and evil aura.

"Die!" the black-robed Underworld Lord roared, thrusting his long spear at Shi Ji. This was an extremely powerful killing weapon with boundless power.

Upon seeing the black spear, Shi Ji couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This guy really had some skills. It seemed that she had to take him seriously, otherwise she would be doomed if she made a slight mistake.

He wielded his Epochal Power and swept it directly against the black spear. The two attacks collided violently, sparks flying.

"Your physical body..." The Black-Robed Underworld Lord's expression changed drastically. He could clearly sense the formidable strength of Shi Ji's physical body.

"You do have some knowledge," Shi Ji said calmly, then stepped towards the black-robed Underworld Lord, reaching out to grab him, intending to capture him alive.

The black-robed Underworld Lord's face turned extremely gloomy. He wanted to tear through the void to escape, but found that the surrounding void was distorted, as if a binding force was enveloping him, and his body was trapped in this void and unable to move.

Shi Ji moved with incredible speed, arriving beside the black-robed Underworld Lord in the blink of an eye. He struck out at the other man with a palm.

With a muffled thud, the black-robed Underworld Lord was blasted away, coughing up blood incessantly, his eyes flashing with resentment and venom.

His physical body was severely damaged, greatly reducing his combat power, but his magical power remained terrifyingly strong.

However, his magic power is now sealed by Shi Ji's binding runes, and he is unable to break free.

"I'll fight you to the death!" the black-robed Underworld Lord roared, wanting to detonate his physical body and perish together with Shi Ji, but how could Shi Ji allow him to self-destruct?

He instantly rushed to the side of the black-robed Underworld Lord and kicked him in the head. With a cracking sound, the black-robed Underworld Lord's head shattered.

The Black-Robed Underworld Lord has fallen.

"This old thing is indeed powerful, worthy of being a figure who once dominated the Heavenly Realm. But now, my cultivation has greatly increased, and destroying you again is no problem," Shi Ji muttered to herself.

He then plunged into the abyss, which was thousands of meters deep and bottomless.

The rocky cliff plummeted rapidly, and after falling about a hundred meters, a roar was suddenly heard.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature flew over rapidly. It was a giant snake about fifty meters long, its body resembling a mountain range.

It opened its mouth and spat out a thunder pearl that hurtled towards Shi Ji. Sensing the destructive power contained in the thunder pearl, Shi Ji quickly activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique to condense the Primordial Dragon Elephant Armor.

The lightning bolt struck Shi Ji in the chest, sending him flying. Shi Ji coughed up blood, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that he had been injured by a giant snake.

"Boy, you actually got injured by an ant-like being? You've disgraced all the cultivators of the Dragon Emperor Sect!" a cultivator said disdainfully, mocking Shi Ji after seeing her severely injured.

Shi Ji coldly said, "It's just a mere python's body. If it weren't for the special cultivation method of your human race's Dragon Emperor Sect, which allows you to absorb the essence and blood of various demonic beasts and turn it into your own power, your physical body would have been chopped off by many demonic beasts sooner or later!"

His words were tinged with contempt. These disciples of the Dragon Emperor Sect all cultivated the Devouring Demon Art, which allowed them to devour the essence and blood of demonic beasts to enhance their own strength. However, this also meant that they needed to constantly absorb fresh blood to replenish their depleted power.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant! I'll tear you to pieces later!" a Dragon Emperor Sect disciple said indifferently.

Shi Ji frowned. He knew these people probably had some tricks up their sleeves, but he didn't know exactly what they were.

"I'd like to see what other tricks you're hiding," Shi Ji said coldly.

The next moment, violent fluctuations came from underground, and countless insect eggs surged out and exploded. These poisonous insects lived in the underground world, and now that they had broken out of their cocoons, they were naturally hostile to humans. They frantically attacked Shiji.

"This..." Shi Ji's pupils contracted sharply. He felt as if he had become a hot commodity, with poisonous insects swarming towards him, while he was stuck in a quagmire and unable to move an inch.

This startled Shi Ji; those poisonous insects were truly bizarre, possessing not only astonishing defensive capabilities but also terrifying offensive power.

He kept using his magical artifacts to defend against the poisonous insects, but found that they were completely ineffective at destroying them. In the end, he had to use thirty-six stone swords to barely hold off the insects' onslaught.

However, the poisonous insects' attacks became increasingly fierce. Shi Ji continued to urge her stone sword to resist, but she soon could not hold on any longer because there were simply too many poisonous insects, and they seemed to be able to keep emerging from the ground.

"You little beast! I already told you you're dead! Not only will you die! We'll torture those female cultivators to death too! Hahahaha! I can't wait to experience the thrill of torturing beautiful female cultivators!" A disciple of the Dragon Emperor Sect shouted with a monstrous laugh.

"Hehe! Brother! These women are too beautiful! How about we enjoy them first, then kill this guy! And then kill them, how about that?" a Dragon Emperor Sect disciple said with a grin. (End of Chapter)
