Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"Ouch——!"

The Void Beast King let out an extremely shrill scream, abruptly retracting its now bald and bloodied right forelimb, its massive body trembling violently from the intense pain.

It looked at the slowly disappearing phantom of the portal behind Shiji, and for the first time, an incredulous look of fear appeared in its eyes.

But the Beast King's ferocity was also fully unleashed!
The pain of its severed claw drove it into madness. It opened its gaping maw, which seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth, and lunged at Shi Ji again, carrying a strong stench, determined to devour this hateful human whole!

"You beast!"
"I'd like to see whether your teeth are harder or my sword is sharper!"

Shi Ji showed no sign of backing down. He reached out and grabbed at the air, and a stone sword that looked simple and unadorned, yet was as heavy as a mountain, appeared in his hand.

This sword was obtained by him in an ancient ruin many years ago. Its material is unknown, but it is indestructible and can withstand his powerful sword energy.

His movements were as nimble as smoke, skillfully dodging the beast king's pounce and bite. With a flick of his wrist, the stone sword slashed through the sky, carrying a sharp sword intent that could tear everything apart, and fiercely slashed at the Void Beast King's head covered with hard scales!

"clang!

clang!
clang!
clang!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal was incessant, and countless dazzling sparks flew from the point where the stone sword collided with the beast king's head.

Each sword strike contained the powerful magic of the immortal Shi Ji, enough to split mountains and stop rivers.

However, the skull of this Void Beast King was far harder than imagined!

After a series of rapid and fierce strikes, only a few white marks were left on it, failing to truly break through its defenses!
"Hehehe... Ignorant humans!"

Born from the chaotic void, my physical body has been tempered over countless ages. How could someone like you, a mere cultivator, possibly harm me? No matter how many supernatural powers you possess, you cannot damage my very essence!

When you are exhausted, that will be the moment I devour your flesh and drink your blood!

Although the Void Beast King was dizzy from the shock, he still let out a ferocious laugh, his words filled with contempt and cruelty.

It suddenly shook its head, opened its huge mouth again, and bit at the rock at an even faster speed, the stench of blood filling the air.

Shi Ji frowned slightly, knowing that ordinary attacks would be ineffective.

His footwork shifted rapidly, displaying exquisite footwork as he circled around to the Beast King's back like a ghost.

Taking advantage of the moment when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, Shi Ji suddenly abandoned her sword. The muscles on her arms bulged and the veins popped out, unleashing astonishing power. Like two iron hoops, they tightly locked the relatively slender neck of the Void Beast King!

"Stop it!"

Shi Ji roared and poured all her magical power into her arms, attempting to subdue the giant beast with brute force.

"Humph!

"You little insect, you think you can do anything to me like this? How naively laughable!"

The Void Beast King felt immense pressure on his neck, but only let out a disdainful snort.

It suddenly struggled with all its might, and a tremendous force came from it. Shi Ji felt her arms shake violently and she was almost unable to hold on!

The Beast King's skin is not only tough, but also slippery, possessing a property that allows it to absorb force.

"I only used thirty percent of my strength to play with you just now, and you thought you could turn the tables on me? Now, I've changed my mind. I'm going to make you taste the most extreme pain in the world, and then chew you up piece by piece!"

The Void Beast King was utterly enraged, having been attacked by what it considered an "ant."

To choke someone at such close range is an utter disgrace!
Its surrounding void power surged once more, and its massive body suddenly spun around, slamming Shi Ji into a floating giant rock beside it. At the same time, it turned its head and bit down again, its speed astonishing!

"Want to eat me? I'm afraid you don't have the appetite!"

Although Shi Ji was startled, she remained calm and released her grip the moment the Beast King exerted its power, using the force to drift backward.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal again, his eyes became incredibly deep, and he chanted incantations:

"Great Curse Spell: Time Freeze!"

More complex and darker curse runes surged from his body. These runes were no longer just binding, but also carried a strange power that interfered with spacetime!

Like living black tentacles, they spread rapidly and wrapped around the Void Beast King's body once more.

“What’s going on?!
My perception of space... has become blurred?!
The flow of energy also became sluggish!

The Void Beast King was truly horrified this time!

It found that its connection with the surrounding void environment was greatly weakened, and its proud void talent seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, making its movements sluggish and uncoordinated!

It desperately tried to break free by channeling its bloodline power, but the curse power containing the laws of time and space was extremely difficult to deal with. It was like being stuck in a quagmire; the more it struggled, the tighter it was bound!

Finally, with a roar of defiance, the Void Beast King's massive body completely lost its balance, "Boom!"

With a loud bang, it was firmly imprisoned on the ground by an invisible force, stirring up clouds of dust.

Shi Ji slowly descended from the sky and walked steadily to the Void Beast King's immobile, enormous head.

He looked down at the once arrogant beast with a cold gaze, then raised a foot and unceremoniously stepped on its nose, which was covered with hard scales.

"Despicable creatures!"

Get your dirty feet off me!

Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces!

The Void Beast King had never suffered such a humiliation. It roared furiously, the sound waves causing the surrounding rocks to fall in a rustling sound. Its scarlet eyes were almost spitting fire, filled with violence and resentment.

Shi Ji slightly increased the pressure on her feet, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "I'll say it again, if you're willing to release your soul, swear a blood oath, submit to me, and become my mount, I might spare your life."

otherwise……"

He paused, his tone turning cold, "I wouldn't mind tasting the flesh and blood of the Void Beast King."

"Submit?!"

Want to be your mount?!

wishful thinking!

I am the overlord of the void, roaming the universe, how could I possibly submit to a mere human like you!

Kill me if you must, and say no more!

The Void Beast King was so enraged by these words that it was almost about to explode. This was an insult that was even more unbearable than killing it!
"Stubborn."

Shi Ji shook her head, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

He raised his right foot, no longer stomping lightly, but putting all his strength into it, and kicked the Void Beast King hard in the relatively soft abdomen!
"Oh!"

A muffled thud, accompanied by the sound of scales shattering.

Shi Ji's kick contained the power of an immortal lord; how fierce and powerful it was! The Void Beast King's tough abdomen was indeed kicked into a noticeable dent, and even several scales flew off, revealing the blurry flesh inside.

"Ow—!"

An excruciating pain instantly spread throughout the Void Beast King's body, causing its massive form to convulse violently. It couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, its voice filled with agony and rage.

Shi Ji stepped on its head and said in a cold voice, "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to submit? If you resist again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Despite the excruciating pain, the Void Beast King remained ferocious, roaring, "You lowly human, do you even deserve my submission? Once I'm free, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Instead of getting angry, Shi Ji laughed and increased the force of her foot by three points, causing the Void Beast King to howl in pain once again.

He slowly said, "It seems that some kind of poison is parasitizing your body. If I use a secret method to activate it, it will devour your internal organs from the inside out."

Would you like to try this taste?

These words were not unfounded. When Shi Ji fought the Void Beast King, she keenly sensed some unstable energy fluctuations lurking within its body, which seemed to be some kind of sinister creature.

He deliberately used this as a threat to break down the Void Beast King's psychological defenses.

As expected, upon hearing this, the Void Beast King's pupils suddenly contracted, and its massive body trembled slightly.

It knew that a group of "void-devouring worms" that fed on void energy were indeed parasitizing its body. They were usually at peace, but if they were triggered by external forces, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Once those insects get out of control, they will instantly devour its internal organs and even erode its demon core.

The thought of being devoured from the inside is enough to fill even a ferocious creature with dread.

"How...how did you know...?"

The Void Beast King's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible panic.

Shi Ji sneered and did not answer, but increased the pressure under its feet, as if urging it to make a decision.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the Void Beast King finally succumbed to fear.

It had roamed the void for many years, never expecting to fall into the hands of a human, let alone that the other party could see through its greatest hidden danger.

Faced with absolute power and a deadly threat, its pride proved utterly insignificant.

"Stop...stop!"
"I...I...I am willing to submit!"

The Void Beast King uttered these words with difficulty, as if using all his strength, and lowered his massive head slightly to show his submission.

"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

Shi Ji snorted coldly, not letting her guard down completely.

He formed a hand seal, and a talisman containing the binding force of the soul condensed and transformed into a stream of light, striking the Void Beast King between the eyebrows.

This is the "Spirit Control Contract" that he learned from an ancient ruin. Once it is planted, the life or death of the person targeted by the spell is in his hands.

The Void Beast King shuddered, feeling an irresistible binding force deep within its soul, and the last trace of resistance in its eyes was completely extinguished.

Shi Ji then released her foot and casually waved her hand, taking the weakened Void Beast King into the "Sumeru Mountain and River Map" she carried with her.

In.

This spatial artifact contains a universe within it, enough to contain this enormous creature.

Next, he took out the "Black Dragon Pattern Cauldron," a treasure passed down from an ancient alchemy master.

This cauldron can not only refine elixirs, but also has the effect of refining and purifying the essence of all things.

Shi Ji threw the Void Beast King into the cauldron not to kill it, but to use the profound array within the cauldron to further diminish its ferocity and refine its bloodline essence, while simultaneously ensuring the success of the "Spirit Control Contract."

It can be completely stabilized.

Humans!
How dare you treat me like this!
Once I am freed, I will annihilate your soul and spirit!

The Void Beast King roared angrily and unwillingly inside the cauldron, causing the cauldron to vibrate and hum.

"A prisoner like yourself dares to bark? Go and reflect on your actions inside!"

Shi Ji remained unmoved and intensified her magical power to activate the precious cauldron.

The black dragon relief on the cauldron seemed to come alive, emitting a ghostly light and forming a powerful suppressive force, gradually suppressing the Void Beast King's struggles.

After dealing with the Void Beast King, Shi Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression changed slightly.

He keenly sensed that his magical power was being consumed at an unusually high rate, and what alarmed him even more was that his lifespan seemed to be slipping away at an accelerated pace.

He immediately looked inward and examined himself carefully.

"What's going on? Excessive consumption of magical power is understandable, but the speed at which my lifespan is being depleted..."

Shi Ji frowned, realizing that a strange and subtle power was silently taking away his life essence, just like fine sand.

This power is not an attack, but more like an influence at the level of rules.

"The power of time and space... Yes, it must be the backlash from forcibly activating the 'time-space freeze' curse before!"

Shi Ji quickly found the root cause.

While the laws of spacetime are indeed powerful and unpredictable, interfering with them inevitably comes at a price.

In order to imprison the Void Beast King, he overused this forbidden technique, which caused him to be marked by the laws of time and space, and his lifespan was passively accelerated.

Having figured this out, Shiji calmed down.

He tried to guide the faint remaining power within his body that had resonated with the Dao of Time and Space.

Sure enough, when he took the initiative to contact and soothe the restless imprint of the laws of space and time, the rate at which his lifespan was depleted slowed down significantly.

"The Way of Time and Space is indeed profound and heaven-defying, capable of touching upon the mysteries of the passage of time."

But mastering it comes at an extremely high price.

Shi Ji felt a chill run down her spine.

This experience gave him a deeper and more awe-inspiring understanding of the principles of time and space.

He sat cross-legged, circulated his internal energy, and began to regulate his breathing to recover.

As the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed into his limbs and bones, his cultivation was steadily recovering, and the vitality he had lost due to the backlash of time and space was slowly being replenished.

Thanks to the immense energy from refining a portion of the Void Beast King's essence blood, his realm barrier began to loosen, his aura steadily increased, and he broke through to the peak of the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop!

Feeling the surging power within her, Shi Ji turned her gaze once more to the "Black Dragon Pattern Cauldron".

The Void Beast King is still struggling in the middle.

This demon king is extremely powerful; at its peak, it was probably comparable to a human quasi-emperor.

If it can be completely subdued, it will undoubtedly be a great help; however, if it is not handled properly, it will backfire and the consequences will be unimaginable.

While killing it directly would yield valuable materials from its entire body, it would be a waste.

Shi Ji was meticulous and had made preparations long ago.

With a sudden thought, he communicated with the "Mount Sumeru River Map".

Two external avatars who are deeply in seclusion for cultivation.

This is one of his trump cards for survival. Even if the main body encounters misfortune, the avatar can inherit most of its memories and cultivation, and continue the lineage.

Time slips away quietly during cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

On this day, Shi Ji's aura suddenly surged, and when she opened her eyes, her eyes shone with lightning-like light, and her body was filled with Daoist charm, she had successfully broken through to the Emperor realm!

A powerful pressure spread out, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

At almost the same time, the "Black Dragon Pattern Cauldron"

A mournful, resentful cry rang out from within, then fell completely silent.

The aura of the Void Beast King quickly dissipated—it had been completely refined by the treasure cauldron, its ferocious soul annihilated, leaving only the corpse of a demon king containing immense essence and the purest bloodline origin. (End of Chapter)
