Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

The next second, "Boom!"

A violent collision suddenly echoed through the valley. With her indomitable will, Shi Ji once again activated the resurrection technique. The shattered fragments of her body quickly gathered together under the light and reformed.

However, before he could even regain his footing, the primordial soul-devouring beast pounced again, its enormous claws slamming heavily onto his newly reconstructed body with a loud "thud."

With a bang, Shi Ji's body shattered once again, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"Oh shit!
Rather than sit and wait to die, we should fight to the death!
"If we don't risk our lives today, we'll surely die here!"

Shi Ji's soul roared in the blood mist. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He was no longer fixated on simple defense and escape, but decided to use his trump card.

A flash of light appeared in his soul, and a palm-sized, cyan-gold gourd flew out of his storage bag and hovered in mid-air—it was the "Immortal-Swallowing Gourd," a treasure he had obtained by chance in his early years.

As Shi Ji activated her divine soul power, the mouth of the Immortal Devouring Gourd opened instantly, emitting a powerful suction force. It began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, and even the residual death aura in the air was absorbed and refined by it.

The absorbed energy, after being transformed by the Immortal-Devouring Gourd, turned into streams of pure spiritual power, which continuously flowed into Shi Ji's soul, replenishing the magical power he had previously lost.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Ji quickly reconstructed her physical body while simultaneously preparing the attack of the Immortal-Swallowing Gourd. The light at the mouth of the gourd grew brighter and brighter, and a terrifying, world-destroying wave gradually condensed and took shape, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.

"It's now!"

A cold glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes, and she let out a low shout, manipulating the Devouring Immortal Gourd to slash fiercely at the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

In an instant, a beam of cyan-gold light containing boundless destructive power shot out from the gourd's mouth, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn apart, like a meteor slicing through the darkness, and went straight toward the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

The Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast clearly sensed the terror of the attack. It dared not be careless in the slightest, and suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a thick cloud of black mist.

The black mist churned and surged in the air like a living thing, emitting an extremely eerie aura. Wherever it passed, even the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed up, turning everything pitch black.

As the black mist swept towards Shiji, she felt as if her soul was being grabbed by an invisible hand and dragged into an abyss. A chilling coldness shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

What alarmed him even more was that this black mist possessed a powerful binding force. His body was instantly frozen in place, and even the magical power circulating within his body was forcibly frozen, unable to flow at all.

"What kind of strange power is hidden within this black mist? It's so powerful, it's simply unbelievable!"

Shi Ji was filled with shock and doubt, but he did not panic. Instead, he continued to activate the Devouring Immortal Gourd, injecting more spiritual power into the cyan-gold beam of light.

Soon, the powerful energy beam emitted by the Immortal-Swallowing Gourd collided with the black mist.

All I heard was a "buzzing" sound.

The sound continued to emanate, and the black mist melted away rapidly under the impact of the beam of light, just like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

Finally, the cyan-gold beam of light broke through the black mist and relentlessly slashed at the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

"puff--"

The cyan-gold beam of light struck the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast's body precisely, instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing wound on its torso. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and its body was almost cleaved in two by the attack.

In pain, the ancient soul-devouring beast roared furiously, its deafening roar echoing through the valley, even shaking the surrounding rocks.

Shi Ji discovered that this Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast was far more intelligent than ordinary ferocious beasts. It seemed to know that it could not match the beast with its own strength alone, and as it roared, a cold aura began to emanate from its body.

Immediately afterwards, gusts of yin wind gathered from all directions, sweeping across the eight wastelands and six directions like a surging tide, constantly swirling around the body of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

With the blessing of the Yin wind, the aura of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast suddenly surged, and its already terrifying combat power increased many times over. The blood-red light in its eyes became even more intense, and its gaze towards Shi Ji was filled with even more ferocious killing intent.

Then, the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, now with greatly increased combat power, charged towards Shi Ji again. It was even faster than before, and its huge claws, carrying the power to tear through space, fiercely grabbed at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's heart tightened, and she quickly circulated the magic within her body, trying to use her movement technique to dodge this fatal blow.

What saddened him was that, under the overwhelming attack range of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, he couldn't find any gap to hide in. It seemed that no matter how he moved, he couldn't escape being struck by its claws.

"Click-clack—"

A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out as the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast's claws struck Shi Ji squarely in the chest.

Shi Ji felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his internal organs had been shattered. He couldn't help but cough up blood, which stained his clothes. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the rocks behind him with a dull thud.

"Such formidable fighting power..."

Shi Ji slowly got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

The power of this Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, enhanced by the Yin Wind, was truly heaven-defying, far exceeding his expectations. Every attack was difficult for him to withstand.

Just as Shi Ji was still in shock, hundreds of dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up the sky, like stars falling from the heavens. Each beam contained a treasure radiating a powerful aura: weapons gleaming with cold light, elixirs containing rich spiritual energy, and magical artifacts inscribed with complex runes.

These beams of light, as if they were alive, circled in the air before locking onto Shi Ji and rapidly bombarding him.

Shi Ji's expression changed, and she dared not be negligent in the slightest. She quickly took out five ancient swords of different shapes from her storage bag and muttered incantations.

As he activated his incantation, five ancient swords instantly floated in mid-air, their blades radiating five different colors of light: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These were the "Five Elements Ancient Swords" he had meticulously crafted.

"go with!"

At Shi Ji's command, the five ancient swords, like five streaks of light, slashed at the incoming beams of light.

The metal-element ancient sword, incredibly sharp, directly severed a beam of light enveloping a weapon; the wood-element ancient sword, imbued with life force, entangled a beam of light containing a medicinal pill, rendering it powerless; the water-element ancient sword transformed into a curtain of water, blocking the impact of the beams; the fire-element ancient sword spewed forth raging flames, burning the incoming magical weapon beams; and the earth-element ancient sword transformed into a thick wall of earth, intercepting the remaining beams. Under the defense of the five elemental ancient swords, the attacks of those beams were neutralized one by one.

Seizing this rare opportunity to catch her breath, Shi Ji dared not linger for a moment. With a flash, she quickly ran towards another mountain range in the distance, hoping to use the complex terrain to escape the pursuit of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

"Kid, trying to escape? Not so easy!"
You are destined to perish here, and you will never leave!

Seeing that Shi Ji wanted to escape, the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast roared angrily and quickly chased after her with its huge body.

The beast was incredibly fast, almost teleporting, and caught up with Shi Ji in the blink of an eye. Then it spread its enormous wings and pounced on Shi Ji, trying to tear him to shreds.

Shi Ji sensed the terrifying aura coming from behind her, her heart sank, and she quickly summoned the stone sword again, gripping the hilt tightly with both hands. She then channeled all the spiritual power within her body and fiercely slashed at the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast behind her.

"Clang—"

The sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky as the stone sword collided with the claws of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, and a powerful impact traveled along the sword to Shi Ji's arm.

He felt a sudden numbness in his arm, his thumb and forefinger split open and bled profusely, and he was thrown away by the force, crashing heavily to the ground.

But Shi Ji did not give up. He got up from the ground, shook his numb right arm, and once again urged the stone sword to slash at the Primordial Soul Devouring Beast.

This time, he poured all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the stone sword. The sword emitted a dazzling light and, with an indomitable momentum, slashed fiercely at the body of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

"Pfft——"

The stone sword successfully pierced through the hard scales of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast and penetrated its flesh.

Shi Ji felt a sharp numbness in her arm, almost causing her to lose her grip on the sword hilt. Meanwhile, crimson blood splattered from the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

The sound corroded small pits into the ground.

Even so, Shi Ji could still sense that this attack was merely a superficial wound to the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, posing no real threat whatsoever, let alone killing it.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Ji continued to grip the stone sword and launched a fierce attack on the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast.

The two sides clashed fiercely once again, each exchange accompanied by a deafening roar. The surrounding trees were snapped in half by the shockwaves, and the rocks were smashed to pieces.

This time, Shi Ji was once again blasted away by the immense force of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast. He crashed heavily to the ground some distance away, finally letting out a loud "Wow!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler than before, like a blank sheet of paper devoid of any color.

"how so……"

Shi Ji leaned against the rock, breathing weakly, a bitter smile appearing on her face.

He had thought that his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during this period, and that he would be able to fight even against a cultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm. But now, facing this Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast, he felt so powerless.

He carefully sensed the aura emanating from the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast and couldn't help but make a judgment: the combat power of this Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast has far surpassed that of an ordinary Emperor, and has probably reached the legendary Quasi-Saint level.

Just how terrifying is the true strength of a quasi-saint level ferocious beast? Shi Ji felt her heart tremble just thinking about it; she simply couldn't imagine it.

"Hehe, kid, are you scared now? I advise you to give up struggling and obediently submit to me. Maybe I'll take pity on you and leave you a whole corpse!"

The Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast slowly walked up to Shi Ji, its huge head lowered, staring at him with its blood-red eyes, and letting out a cold, sinister laugh, its voice full of disdain and threat.

Shi Ji raised her head, a stubborn glint in her eyes, and sneered, "You are not worthy of my submission!"

"If you know what's good for you, get lost and don't provoke me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for using all my strength to refine you into nourishment for my cultivation!"

"presumptuous!
You ignorant brat, how dare you spout such nonsense!

Since you are so stubborn and refuse to surrender, then I will personally take action and send you to your utter demise!

The primordial soul-devouring beast was thoroughly enraged by Shi Ji's words. Its voice turned icy cold, and the killing intent in its eyes burst forth as if it were a tangible substance.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast pounced on Shi Ji again. As it pounced, its already huge claws became even larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sharpness of the claws also increased, gleaming with a chilling light.

Shi Ji dared not be negligent in the slightest. He gripped the stone sword tightly with both hands and poured all the remaining spiritual power in his body into it. The sword instantly burst out with a dazzling light. He faced the claws of the Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast and swung the sword fiercely.

“Bang—”

The deafening clang of metal clashing against metal was deafening. The stone sword and the claws of the prehistoric soul-devouring beast collided heavily, sparks flying like dazzling fireworks, scattering across the ground and scorching out tiny black holes.

Shi Ji felt an irresistible force travel from the sword to her arm, as if her bones were about to shatter. The pain was unbearable, and her hand was split open, with blood slowly flowing down the hilt and dripping onto the ground.

His body was thrown back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the boulder behind him with a "crack".

With a loud crash, the boulder shattered, and Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler.

"You little beast, now you should know how powerful I am, right? If you know what's good for you, just surrender obediently, and perhaps I can spare a wisp of your soul!"

The Primordial Soul-Devouring Beast walked slowly to Shi Ji with heavy steps. Its huge head was slightly lowered, and it looked down at him with its blood-red eyes, letting out a cold laugh, its tone full of disdain and arrogance.

Shi Ji struggled to his feet from the pile of rubble, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Despite being covered in wounds and having lost most of his spiritual energy, the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even more intense, and his face was as gloomy as a storm about to break out.

Just at this critical moment of life and death, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar, accompanied by several familiar auras rapidly approaching. (End of Chapter)
