Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"Om-"

The ancient runes on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon suddenly lit up, transforming into a golden net that blotted out the sky and descended upon the rocky islet.

The light network was filled with dense ancient divine script, emanating a chilling suppressive power.

"Little tricks."

Shi Ji snorted coldly, and the stone sword was drawn again, slashing towards the light net with the power to annihilate all laws.

"Boom!"

The swords and nets clashed, unleashing a deafening roar.

To Shi Ji's surprise, the seemingly fragile light net remained completely still, instead radiating an even stronger suppressive force.

"how is this possible?"

Shi Ji's pupils constricted slightly.

His sword strike was enough to kill an ordinary Emperor Realm expert, but it couldn't break through this mysterious net of light.

Just then, hundreds of powerful auras suddenly surged from all around the canyon.

An elderly man dressed in the robes of the City Lord of Wanxiang City descended from the sky, his voice icy: "Those who trespass into the forbidden area shall die!"

Upon seeing the Myriad City emblem on the robes of these cultivators, the expressions of Poison Ancestor and the others, who were hidden in the shadows, changed drastically.

"This is troublesome. It's actually someone from the City Lord's Mansion of Wanxiang City!"

The Evil Saint said in a deep voice, "The Myriad Manor City Lord's Mansion has a great influence in the Tianwu Continent. Every generation of city lords is an unparalleled expert who has traversed the heavens."

The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Boss, you've really messed up this time. This place is a den of dragons and tigers!"

However, Shi Ji remained unfazed despite being surrounded.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators of the Myriad Elephant City Lord's Mansion, finally settling on the elderly man who was in the lead.

"Let your city lord come out and speak."

Shi Ji's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Or, if you kneel down and confess your sins now, I might spare your lives."

These words shocked and enraged the cultivators of the Myriad Elephants City Lord's Mansion.

For so many years, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant on MixC's premises!

"Insanity!"

A young cultivator shouted sternly, "This is the Myriad Manor of the City Lord! How dare you speak to me like that?"

The old man raised his hand to stop his subordinate, then squinted at Shi Ji: "Young man, do you know what the City Lord's Mansion of Wanxiang City represents?"

Shi Ji smiled faintly: "Of course I know. It is precisely because I know that I am giving you a chance."

A scene from many years ago flashed through his mind: when he was still young, he was saved by the Lord of Wanxiang City during a life-or-death crisis.

He has always kept this kindness in his heart.

He was unwilling to antagonize the Lord of Wanxiang City today, but the Chaos Demon Lotus was too important to him, so he had no choice but to take it.

"If the city lord comes in person, I will give him an explanation."

Shi Ji's gaze turned cold. "As for you, you are not worthy to speak with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone sword in his hand shone brightly once more, and an even more terrifying aura swept across the entire canyon.

This time, he's really serious.

The cultivators of the Myriad Elephant City Lord's Mansion all paled upon sensing this aura.

Only now did they truly realize that this young man was probably far more terrifying than they had imagined.

An old woman spoke in a sinister tone, her voice like the hooting of an owl: "A mere junior at the fifth level of the Emperor Sect dares to be arrogant in front of me? Today I will skin you alive and make you taste all the cruelest tortures in the world!"

Shi Ji didn't say much, but simply flicked her finger.

A dazzling sword beam shot out from the sky, like a shooting star streaking across the night.

The old woman's head fell off with a thud, her face still frozen in disbelief.

Shi Ji casually put away the storage ring that was floating in mid-air, her movements fluid and graceful.

"I'm going to die! Quickly capture this madman!"

Another elderly man let out a piercing scream, his withered fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Dozens of guards from the Vientiane City Lord's Mansion moved at the sound, the clanging of swords being drawn echoing incessantly.

However, Shi Ji merely glanced at the crowd indifferently, her eyes full of disdain: "They're nothing but a rabble."

Three ancient stone tablets flew out from his sleeve, their surfaces engraved with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes.

The stone tablets formed a triangular formation in the air, radiating a powerful sealing force.

Before the guards at the forefront could even get close, they were blasted backward by an invisible shockwave, crashing into the pillars and losing consciousness.

Shi Ji paid no attention to these soldiers; his gaze was fixed on the depths of the city lord's mansion.

The faint chaotic aura emanating from there shook his mind. Could it really be the essence and blood of the Chaos Demon Lotus appearing in the world?

Just as he was about to investigate further, a purple figure gracefully landed and blocked his path.

This is a woman with a graceful figure, whose skin is as white as snow, accentuated by a purple dress.

She frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with disgust.

"Do you still remember me?"

The woman asked in a cold voice, her jade-like hand lightly touching the sword at her waist.

Shi Ji studied it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So it was you. I still haven't forgotten the life-saving grace you gave me outside the Void Gate back then."

The woman scoffed, the hairpin in her hair trembling slightly. "That's easy for you to say. If you didn't possess that treasure, would I have bothered to save you?"

"you misunderstood."

Shi Ji shook her head. "That day, I was being chased by the Demon Lord. I wanted to use your power to eliminate the demon, but you turned around and left. I had no choice but to flee first."

"nonsense!"

The woman shouted sternly, a glint of cold light appearing at her fingertips.

She took out a crystal-clear pill and swallowed it, trying to awaken the images deep in her memory to verify their authenticity.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar.

The entire city lord's mansion trembled, and a black streak of light shot into the sky from the depths of the mountains.

It was a completely black cave, its surface shrouded in a chaotic aura.

"The Chaos Ancient Lamp! And the Chaos Ancient Lotus!"

The woman gasped in surprise, her beautiful eyes blazing with fervent light.

The black cavern approached the city lord's mansion at an astonishing speed, distorting space wherever it passed.

Immediately afterwards, more than forty powerful auras surged in from all directions, each containing the pressure of an Emperor-level being.

The eight leaders were even more imposing, clearly powerful figures at the Great Emperor level.

The onlookers scattered in an uproar, some whispering amongst themselves, "The world of Myriad Elephants City is about to change drastically! With so many powerful figures joining forces, how can the City Lord's Mansion possibly withstand them?"

"I've heard that the Chaos Ancient Lamp is a relic of the Myriad Manifestations Ancestor, and it once suppressed a demon from beyond the realm."

Shi Ji stared at the approaching black cave and murmured to herself, "The Chaos Ancient Lamp of the Myriad Manifestations Ancestor has indeed appeared in the world."

He noticed a particularly eye-catching young man in fine clothes in the crowd; he was none other than the young master of Wanxiang City.

Although this young master was only a half-emperor, he was surrounded by several protective magic treasures, clearly indicating that he had come prepared.

The purple skirt fluttered in the air currents as the woman suddenly turned to look at Shi Ji: "Since we share the same goal, why don't we temporarily cease hostilities?"

She flicked a wisp of divine consciousness from her fingertip, which formed a contract rune in the air.

After pondering for a moment, Shi Ji waved her sleeve and released a stream of primordial energy that merged into the runes.

With the temporary alliance established, the two simultaneously unleashed their magical artifacts and charged towards the Chaos Cave.

The eight powerful emperors each occupied a region, forming a vast net that enveloped the entire sky.

The young master of Wanxiang summoned an ancient bronze mirror, and the space where the mirror's light passed froze.

The three stone tablets on the rocky shore hummed and transformed into towering boulders that crashed into the barrier. The woman in purple then took out a jade flute, and its clear, melodious sound caused several emperors to hesitate for a moment.

Suddenly, a burst of colorful light erupted from the depths of the black cave, and an ancient-looking bronze lamp slowly rose.

The wick flickered with chaotic flames, and the faint phantom of a nine-petaled lotus flower could be seen floating in the flames.

Seeing this, the powerful figures from all sides no longer held back, unleashing all sorts of astonishing divine powers towards the area where the Chaos Ancient Lamp was located.

During the chaotic battle, Shi Ji noticed that the young master of Wanxiang had a strange smile on his lips.

He crushed a talisman, and the earth's energy in the entire Myriad City suddenly surged.

It turns out that the city lord's mansion had already laid out a terrifying killing formation, just waiting for powerful figures from all sides to fall into its trap.

The woman in purple exclaimed, "Retreat quickly! This is the Myriad Manifestations Refining Immortal Formation!"

But it was too late; the earth's energy transformed into countless chains that bound the group.

Chains writhed like giant pythons, and a red-haired emperor roared as he unleashed the Heaven-Burning Purple Flame, only to be devoured by the earth's energy.

The three stone tablets on the rocky shore formed a triangular light curtain, barely protecting the area within three zhang around them.

The purple-clad woman's jade flute had developed cracks, yet the music grew increasingly passionate, the sound waves transforming into tangible blades that severed the incoming chains.

The young master of Wanxiang, hovering in the center of the formation, laughed loudly: "Since you're here, why don't you all stay and be guests!"

His hand gestures shifted, and the Chaos Ancient Lamp suddenly erupted with a black hole that devoured everything.

At this critical moment, a certain token in Shi Ji's arms suddenly emitted a faint light, and the originally raging Chaos Ancient Lamp paused slightly.

At this moment, the woman in purple suddenly leaned close to Shi Ji's ear and whispered, "I know the solution, but I need your help."

With a light tap of her slender fingers, she outlined an ancient totem in the air.

Shi Ji understood and continuously poured her true essence into the totem.

As the totem gradually brightened, it surprisingly resonated with the ancient chaotic lamp.

Upon seeing this, the young master of Wanxiang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the formation to try and stop it.

But it was too late; the connection between the totem and the ancient lamp had already been established.

The woman in purple bit her fingertip, and a drop of her blood essence entered the center of the totem, causing the entire Myriad Manifestations Refining Immortal Array to begin to vibrate violently.

"So you are the true inheritor of the ancient lamp!"

The young master of all things roared and charged forward, but was repelled by the suddenly awakened Chaos Ancient Lamp.

The runes on the surface of the ancient lamp lit up one by one, emitting a chilling ancient aura.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Ji activated the three stone tablets, shattering all the incoming earth vein chains.

The Chaos Ancient Lamp slowly drifted toward the woman in purple, and the flame of the lamp wick transformed into a nine-colored lotus flower that enveloped her.

The young master of Wanxiang, his eyes bloodshot, joined forces with eight emperors to forcibly seize the ancient lamp.

However, the ancient lamp suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Vientiane City as if it were daytime.

After the light faded, the Chaos Ancient Lamp had already recognized its master.

A woman in purple stood in the void, holding an ancient lamp, surrounded by an aura of chaos.

She gently stroked the lamp and nodded slightly to Shi Ji: "I will remember this favor."

The young master of Wanxiang glared at the two of them through gritted teeth, but dared not make any further rash moves.

Seeing that the ancient lamp had already recognized its master, the other powerful figures also began to consider retreating.

A thrilling treasure hunt has come to an end.

Shi Ji watched the departing figure of the woman in purple, lost in thought.

He sensed that the keepsake in his arms was still slightly warm, as if it had some unknown connection with the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

Although the battle has ended, the cause and effect of the Chaos Ancient Lamp seems to have only just begun.

Even an ordinary Chaos Ancient Lamp can fetch hundreds of millions at auction, and there's often no market for it.

The wealth accumulated by a peak powerhouse like the Ancestor of Myriad Manifestations throughout his life is immeasurable.

The Chaos Ancient Lamp he left behind is an unparalleled treasure. If one could obtain it, one's combat power would surely experience a qualitative leap.

Thinking of this, a burning light flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

He gazed into the depths of the mountains, where the fiery lotus, faintly visible within the black cave, was captivating.

"Young Master Wanxiang, how have you been?"

Shi Ji smiled slightly, her tone tinged with amusement.

"You're actually alive!"

Young Master Wanxiang's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

He clearly remembered that Shi Ji had already perished in a desperate situation, and seeing her in person now was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Shi Ji chuckled and said, "My destiny is much stronger than you imagine."

"What a fool you are! Since you've walked right into our trap, today we'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Young Master Wanxiang's face was ashen, and his aura suddenly became sharp.

Shi Ji calmly replied, "I came to Wanxiang City specifically to find you. Now that we've met, let's settle our old and new scores together, and I'll also take the treasure left behind by your father."

"Insanity!"

Young Master Wanxiang laughed in anger, and a dazzling halo suddenly condensed in his palm.

As the light wheel rotated, it created ripples in space, pressing down on Shi Ji.

This attack was extremely ruthless; it was clearly intended to take a life.

Shi Ji was prepared, and her fists burst forth with blazing golden light, the power of yang transforming into a raging fire of the sun.

He swung his right arm, shattering the light wheel, and then lashed out with his left leg like a whip, creating a piercing sound as it cut through the air.

"boom--"

A dull thud rang out, and the young master of Wanxiang was kicked backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Shi Ji was about to rush into the black cave when she suddenly felt a chilling aura envelop her.

A figure shrouded in black mist silently appeared and blocked the way.

The black-robed cultivator let out a hoarse, cold laugh: "You dare to provoke the young master in the territory of Wanxiang City? You have quite the nerve. But today, you are destined to die here."

Shi Ji remained calm and said indifferently, "I have always enjoyed adventure. Besides, if I were to perish today, the treasures in my storage ring would be enough to buy a hundred cities. Whoever gets them will have an immense opportunity."

"Shameless talk!"

The black-robed cultivator scoffed, his withered hand emerging from his sleeve, strange runes appearing on his palm.

A powerful wave of soul energy swept over, causing a sharp pain in Shi Ji's sea of ​​consciousness.

Shi Ji was secretly shocked by the black-robed cultivator's incredibly powerful soul attack.

He hurriedly activated the Great Reincarnation Technique, and six illusory images of reincarnation appeared around his body, dissolving the soul impact into nothingness.

"Oh? You actually know the art of soul defense?"

The black-robed cultivator looked slightly surprised, and suddenly a beam of dark light shot out from his fingertips.

The dark light transformed into a jet-black dagger, aiming straight for Shi Ji's brow with extreme speed.

Shi Ji sensed a deadly crisis and immediately unleashed the Devouring Black Hole.

A vortex appeared in front of him, engulfing the dagger within it.

However, the black-robed cultivator's attack did not stop. As he formed hand seals, countless black shadows rushed in from all directions.

"The Great Reincarnation Technique is indeed profound; such supernatural powers should rightfully belong to me!"

A glint of greed flashed in the black-robed cultivator's eyes as he approached like a ghost.

Shi Ji dared not delay and urged the dragon-elephant arm to be three times stronger.

Three golden dragon phantoms soared into the sky, charging towards the enemy with deafening roars.

However, the black-robed cultivator merely waved his hand casually, and cracks appeared in the void, tearing the golden dragon apart completely. (End of Chapter)
