Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shi Ji looked at Lei Di Lei Xiao in front of him, his heart filled with doubts—he had never joined the Thunder Immortal Sect, so how could he suddenly have a master? But he quickly suppressed his doubts, cupped his hands to Lei Xiao, and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I am fine for now."

Upon hearing this, Lei Di Lei Xiao laughed heartily, patted Shi Ji on the shoulder, and said, "Silly child, why are you being so polite with your master? Back then, I was entrusted by your father to secretly keep an eye on your growth. Now that you are in danger, I naturally cannot sit idly by."

Shi Ji suddenly realized what was going on and felt a greater sense of closeness to Lei Xiao.

He raised his head and carefully examined Lei Xiao—a young and handsome man, who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a gentle smile always on his lips. The lightning around him did not inspire fear, but rather added to his majesty.

This is a young and handsome man, who looks to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He wore a flowing robe as blue as the deep sea, with subtle lightning patterns flowing across it, highlighting his extraordinary status.

With a gentle smile on his face, the man reached out and gently stroked Shi Ji's head.

The touch was warm and firm, full of the love and care of an elder for a younger generation.

This is not reality, but a precious memory hidden deep in Shi Ji's mind.

In this recollection, Shi Ji could feel the care and warmth from this man—Lei Di Lei Xiao—with perfect clarity.

This was one of the moments in Shi Ji's life when she felt the strongest sense of family affection.

He couldn't help but say with deep affection, "Master Lei Xiao, it's so wonderful that you could come!"

Lei Di Lei Xiao's voice was deep and powerful: "I went to the Thunder Immortal Sect to find you this time, and heard that you had entered the Star River Ancient Ship for training. That place is extremely dangerous, and I thought you had met with misfortune... I never expected that you would return safely! Good! Very good! I am truly proud of you!"

Immediately, Lei Di Lei Xiao's tone turned calm as he said, "Now that I see you have returned safely, I am relieved."

"Master..."

A hint of worry involuntarily appeared on Shi Ji's face as he recalled her.

Because he keenly sensed that although Master Lei Xiao, who appeared in front of him at this moment, still had a powerful aura, he seemed to carry an indescribable sense of alienation, and did not seem to have come specifically to protect him.

This thought made Shi Ji wonder: Could it be that Master's purpose in coming here is not to help me? Or perhaps... to harm me?
If that were the case, it would be far too cruel.

"No need to worry."

Lei Di Lei Xiao seemed to see through Shi Ji's thoughts, and his tone remained gentle, "You are the child I watched grow up, how could your master harm you? Now that you have successfully advanced to the Immortal Lord realm, your master is very pleased!"

After speaking, Lei Di Lei Xiao raised his hand, and a strange black hole in the distance that was constantly devouring light suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

He continued, "I have an important matter to attend to immediately. Please wait here for a moment, and when I return, we, master and disciple, will have a good chat."

Before he finished speaking, Lei Di Lei Xiao's figure had already transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, disappearing into the sky in an instant at an unbelievable speed.

It seems he has truly left.

Shi Ji stood there, her heart filled with confusion and unease.

He didn't know where Lei Di Lei Xiao had gone, nor did he know who his master's true target was.

A strong premonition lingered in his mind—this encounter was probably not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and there might be unexpected twists and turns later on.

"Hehe... little guy, let me play with you for a bit."

Just as Shi Ji was feeling uneasy, a chilling voice, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, suddenly rang in his ears, directly piercing through his spiritual defenses.

Immediately afterwards, the space in front of them twisted violently, and a colossal creature tore through the void, revealing its terrifying form.

It was a colossal beast, its body as black as ink, with an incredibly ferocious appearance, emanating an aura of chaos and destruction.

Upon seeing the giant beast, Shi Ji's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.

He was all too familiar with this ferocious beast; it was none other than the formidable enemy he had encountered deep within the void wormhole—the Void Beast King!
"This guy... I personally killed him back then, and his soul was scattered. Why has he reappeared here?!"

Shi Ji was shocked and couldn't help but gasp.

The reappearance of the Void Beast King posed a great threat to Shi Ji.

This guy is extremely powerful, especially skilled at manipulating the power of the void, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

Encountering them here would undoubtedly put us in a very dangerous situation.

However, despite the critical situation, Shi Ji did not show any intention of backing down.

Fear solves nothing; only by confronting a formidable foe can one find a glimmer of hope.

"Fight!" Shi Ji roared, her voice booming.

With a thought, the void behind him rippled, and in an instant, a cold wind howled, ghosts wailed, and tens of millions of ferocious ghosts condensed into a powerful Netherworld army.

The legion surged towards the Void Beast King like a black tide, fearless and relentless.

"You ant-like creature, how dare you challenge my majesty? Today I will annihilate you, body and soul, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

The Void Beast King let out a ferocious laugh, its enormous beastly eyes filled with disdain and cruelty.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, without roaring, but an endless stream of dark light poured out.

These lights intertwined rapidly in the air, transforming into countless complex and eerie black runes.

Each rune contained a powerful void-binding force. As if they had a life of their own, they instantly linked together to form a sky-covering net of laws, which descended upon Shi Ji!

Shi Ji suddenly felt a tightness all over her body, as if she had fallen into an invisible swamp, or as if she had been bound by countless incredibly tough void chains, making it extremely difficult for her to move.

He struggled fiercely, his immense magical power, at the level of a Celestial Lord, surging within him, attempting to shatter these rune shackles.

However, this binding technique, formed from the Void Beast King's primordial power, was extremely profound, and it was difficult to break free for a time.

Taking this opportunity, the Void Beast King raised its giant claw, which was powerful enough to shatter mountains, and with a terrifying force that could tear through space, slammed it down on the immobilized Shi Ji!
"Crack! Click!"

A sickeningly clear sound of bones shattering rang out. Under the terrifying power of the giant claw, Shi Ji's body, like fragile porcelain, instantly tore into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere!
He was instantly killed by the Void Beast King in one move!

However, a strange scene happened.

Just as Shi Ji's physical body shattered, a slowly rotating chaotic vortex suddenly appeared in the void, emanating a rich life force and the Dao of reincarnation.

The next moment, the splattered flesh and bone fragments seemed to be drawn back by an invisible force, swirling back like lightning and surging into the vortex.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ji, completely unharmed, stepped out of the vortex, her aura even more refined than before!

It turns out that the fact that it was so easily smashed just now was entirely a scheme by Shi Ji, who deliberately feigned weakness to the enemy!
The purpose was to lure the Void Beast King into attacking, thereby gaining insight into its power characteristics and creating an opportunity to unleash its true killing move!
One of Shi Ji's ultimate trump cards is a forbidden supernatural power called "Great Curse Technique".

This supernatural power is extremely strange and difficult to defend against. It can directly affect the fate, fortune, and even the life essence of an enemy. Those who are affected by it often encounter various terrible calamities without even realizing it.

He had previously used this technique against a formidable enemy, and although he did not achieve complete success, he still caused the enemy to suffer a great loss.

Shi Ji speculated that the reason why the Great Curse Technique failed to directly kill the opponent was perhaps because her own cultivation level was insufficient, and she was unable to fully exert the power of this forbidden technique.

He believed that if he could advance to the higher realm of Emperor, he would definitely be able to completely control this power.

Although this goal is ambitious and requires a long period of accumulation, Shiji has never given up.

Now that he has successfully broken through to the Immortal Lord realm, his magical power and divine soul have undergone a qualitative leap, so he wants to try again to see if he can use this Great Curse Technique to pose a substantial threat to the powerful Void Beast King.

Of course, Shi Ji was also well aware that forcibly casting a Great Curse Technique to deal with an existence like the Void Beast King with the body of an Immortal Lord would have an extremely low success rate and would most likely result in a terrifying backlash, causing irreparable damage to the caster's own soul.

He would never willingly take such a huge risk unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, his current strategy is to first thoroughly enrage the Void Beast King, causing it to reveal more weaknesses, and then seek the best opportunity.

Shi Ji flashed and hovered in mid-air, her eyes like lightning, staring directly at the Void Beast King, letting out a long howl full of provocation.

"You lowly insect, how dare you repeatedly provoke me, the king!"
I will devour you completely and refine the essence of your bloodline!
The energy contained in your physical body is extraordinary. After absorbing it, it might heal some of the hidden injuries I suffered during my years of sealing!

The Void Beast King was "resurrected" by Shi Ji.

Enraged by the blatant provocation, his voice grew increasingly sinister and terrifying, filled with greed and murderous intent.

Before the words were even finished, the Void Beast King's massive body moved again. Ripples of void spread around it, as if it had merged with the surrounding space. With a speed that was almost instantaneous and carrying destructive power, it pounced on Shi Ji!

This Void Beast King clearly possesses an extremely pure and powerful Void attribute bloodline. Therefore, every attack it makes, and even the energy field surrounding its body, bears the deep imprint of the laws of the Void.

This attribute power, originating from the very essence of space, is undoubtedly a nightmare for the vast majority of cultivators.

That all-pervasive spatial pressure can disintegrate the structure of matter at the most microscopic level. If one's physical strength or magical cultivation is slightly insufficient, one will be squeezed and twisted by this force, eventually exploding and dying in a gruesome manner.

However, Shi Ji has now reached the realm of Immortal Lord, possessing profound cultivation and a physical body that has undergone countless trials and tribulations, making her no longer the same as before.

Faced with the terrifying pressure of the Void Beast King, which was enough to change the color of mountains and rivers, he was solemn but not afraid.

Seeing the Beast King tear through space and rush towards them with chaotic void currents, Shi Ji's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted ancient and obscure incantations.

"Great Curse Spell, Bind!"

With a low shout, not a deafening roar, but a more unsettling hum that seemed to originate from the very rules themselves, a sound that was more unsettling.

Centered on Shiji, visible dark gray ripples composed of countless strange runes spread out like ripples in water, silently sweeping across the Void Beast King's massive body.

A strange yet terrifying scene unfolded.

The Void Beast King, who had been so aggressive and fast-moving, suddenly froze, as if he had been trapped in an invisible and extremely viscous amber.

The space around it seemed to freeze, and the violent void energy instantly became sluggish.

The Beast King roared in alarm and fury, struggling desperately. Its claws tore open spatial rifts as it swung, but the cursed power binding it was like a bone-deep infection, greatly restricting its ability to move.

"This great curse is indeed profound and unpredictable; it can even temporarily imprison the Beast King, who is known for his talent in the void!"

Shi Ji was also shocked, and gained a deeper understanding of the power of this technique.

He dared not delay for a moment, knowing that the effect of this confinement could not last. With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the Void Beast King who was temporarily trapped.

The Void Beast King had never suffered such humiliation. Its crimson eyes burned with furious flames, and the power of the void surged wildly around it, trying to forcefully break free from the shackles of the curse.

As expected, the dark gray rune ripples began to tremble slightly under the impact of its violent power, and its light dimmed somewhat.

The distance between Shi Ji and the Beast King was rapidly shrinking, and he could clearly feel the killing intent that was almost solidifying.

"Insects! Break for me!"

Just as Shi Ji was about to get close, the Void Beast King let out a deafening roar, and the power he had been accumulating suddenly exploded, shattering some of the curse runes!
Its right claw, powerful enough to shatter stars, carrying the residual force of tearing space, viciously grabbed at Shi Ji's head at a tricky angle!
If that claw strike lands firmly, even with the physique of Immortal Lord Shiji, he would surely be severely injured.

"Hmph! Even a cornered beast will fight back, yet you dare to call yourself brave?"

Shi Ji remained calm in the face of danger, and even a cold, sharp smile appeared on her lips.

His mind raced, and his inner power surged like a river, connecting with the treasure deep within his consciousness—the Gate of Reincarnation—that was intertwined with his very life!
"Buzz!" An aura far more ancient and vast than the power of the void suddenly descended!

A blurry, ancient portal, seemingly bearing witness to the birth and death of all things and the cycle of eras, slowly emerged behind Shi Ji.

Although the portal was not fully open, the mere wisp of pressure emanating from it caused the surrounding space to freeze completely, and even the flow of time seemed to slow down.

"Boom!"

The phantom of the Gate of Reincarnation clashed violently with the Void Beast King's claws!
There was no stalemate as expected; instead, there was an almost crushing result!
The beastly claw, imbued with terrifying void power, cracked under the immense pressure the moment it came into contact with the aura of the Gate of Reincarnation, like ice meeting the blazing sun.

The sound of shattering followed, as the invisible force of reincarnation ground the particles inch by inch, transforming them into the purest energy particles that dissipated into nothingness! (End of Chapter)
