Because his realm has broken through to the quasi-immortal level.

Moreover, his physical body has also reached the level of a Great Emperor.

When using the Great Devouring Technique, his combat power increases dramatically.

The Great Devouring Technique's operating speed increased dramatically, naturally accelerating the refining of the iron hammer imprint.

Shi Ji felt that her combat strength should be able to improve further after she fully refined the iron hammer imprint.

At that time, they may be able to compete with cultivators at the Emperor level.

A chilling glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

If an ordinary cultivator were branded with an iron hammer and had their body taken over.

It will inevitably end in tragedy.

But Shiji would never follow in his footsteps.

He was quite confident about this.

"Subdue this treasure!"

Shi Ji said in a deep voice.

He activated the Nine Demon Diagram to begin refining the iron hammer imprint.

The hammer brand tried to resist and struggle.

But to no avail.

Ultimately, it was completely refined by Shi Ji.

"Thank you for helping me refine this iron hammer fragment, young master!"

Shi Ji held the iron hammer in her hand and examined it carefully, but found nothing special about it except that it was hard.

There are no other special features.

It seems the hammer is made of rather ordinary material.

But even ordinary iron can be forged into powerful magical artifacts.

Although the hammer was made of ordinary material, the branding inside was exceptionally terrifying.

"Keep this hammer for now. If you come across any rare items in the future, remember to bring it here to exchange for treasures!"

"Yes, young master! Thank you, young master! You are truly a divine being. Not only do you master powerful martial arts, but you are also proficient in array formations, alchemy, and even weapon crafting. You are truly a young man of great talent! I admire you the most!"

Iron Hammer Brand immediately flattered him.

"You've done a good job of flattering me!"

Shi Ji said with satisfaction.

He then put away the iron hammer brand and looked into the depths of the cave, wanting to know what kind of terrifying being was sealed inside.

The cave was pitch black.

Unable to see.

Light gradually appeared deep within the cave.

Deep inside is a black stone platform.

A woman was sitting on the stage.

She was wearing a red robe.

She has a charming and beautiful appearance.

The woman in red opened her eyes, her sinister gaze locking onto Shi Ji. Her face was pale, but her beautiful eyes were exceptionally captivating.

It is so beautiful that one cannot help but admire it.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

Shi Ji frowned slightly, but did not make a move immediately.

He guessed that the woman in red might be the brand inside the hammer.

However, it is still uncertain whether this is actually the case.

Hidden within the branding of the iron hammer are unknown and terrifying creatures; Shi Ji must proceed with extreme caution.

"Boy, I didn't expect to meet you again. You have extraordinary courage, but you are destined to die here today. I will turn you into a puppet and then make you my slave!"

The woman in red spoke with a cold, ruthless voice, filled with intense killing intent. She stood up and walked step by step toward Shi Ji.

She reached out and made a gesture in mid-air.

A blood-red dagger flew towards Shi Ji, aiming directly at her neck; the speed was simply too fast.

Shi Ji raised her sword and slashed at the blood-red dagger that was coming at her, and a clanging sound rang out.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Shi Ji's attack was actually thwarted by the blood-red dagger.

The woman in red revealed a mocking expression, "Kid, you're no good. I can crush you with just a flick of my finger, and I can crush you easily even without a weapon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in red attacked again.

She raised her right arm, and the blood-red dagger swept towards Shi Ji, who was holding the dagger.

That woman in red was like a killing machine.

The woman in red attacked wildly, each strike faster than the last.

Each slash.

All of these were accompanied by loud crashes.

The woman in red's attacks were indeed terrifying; Shi Ji withstood hundreds of her blows.

But in the end, they were still unable to completely block the opponent's attack.

With a soft thud, the skin on Shi Ji's chest was torn open.

"You are no match for me. Kneel down and submit to me, become my servant! Otherwise, I will kill you right now!"

The woman in red grinned maliciously, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Shi Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She sneered, "What a reckless woman! How dare you provoke me! Well then, I'll show you how I'll torment you today!"

No sooner had Shi Ji finished speaking than she leaped up.

He then lunged at the woman in red, and in an instant, Shi Ji's fist struck her.

The sound of bones shattering suddenly rang out.

The woman in red's chest caved in.

Shi Ji's iron hammer struck the woman in red in the abdomen, causing it to cave in.

The woman in red was thrown into the distance.

The woman in red coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face ashen white. She cried out in horror, "Who are you?"

"Heh heh, you have no right to know my name!"

Shi Ji said indifferently, stepping forward to continue attacking the woman in red.

This woman in red is really strange. Shi Ji is worried that she might use the power of the hammer branding again.

If that's the case, Shiji cannot withstand the power of the hammer's branding.

Shi Ji must deal with the woman in red as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

"You want to kill me? Dream on! I curse you, may you never be reincarnated! I curse you to be condemned to endless hell!"

The woman in red roared in resentment, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then the mouthful of blood transformed into a crimson light and shot towards Shiji.

When Shi Ji saw that strange mouthful of blood turn into a crimson light, she was taken aback.

She felt that the drop of blood was extremely threatening.

As the blood-red light rushed towards Shi Ji, Shi Ji summoned thirty-six array flags to cover her body, while simultaneously activating the Heaven-Mending Technique and the Immortal Scripture.

Shi Ji wanted to use the Heaven-Mending Technique and the Immortal Scripture to protect herself.

However, that burst of bloody light was truly bizarre.

That burst of blood light shattered the void and vanished without a trace. When the blood light reappeared, it was already hurtling towards Shi Ji from the other side.

The crimson light contained an aura capable of destroying all living beings in all realms; this terrifying attack seemed capable of annihilating the entire universe.

Shi Ji was immediately horrified.

She sensed that the crimson light contained unimaginable power, a force she was simply unable to contend with.

Shi Ji quickly used the Devouring Technique to absorb the terrifying pressure within the blood-red light.

Then Shi Ji unleashed the domineering aura of the Epoch.

An aura of dominance condensed into a giant dragon, which then fiercely attacked the blood-red light.

The next moment, the two terrifying forces collided.

The power contained within the crimson light instantly shattered the giant dragon formed by the Epochal Aura. The crimson light continued its slash towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji quickly dodged the attack of the blood-red light.

But he was still struck on the shoulder by the bloody light.

Shi Ji's left arm was nearly severed.

"Huh? You're not cursed? How is that possible?" the woman in red said in surprise.

"The power of a curse?" Shi Ji asked, frowning.

The woman in red said, "That's right, it's the power of curses! This is the ultimate technique left to me by the King of Curses! The power of curses is specifically designed to subdue lowly ants like you!"

"A lowly ant? I think you're the truly lowly one!"

Shi Ji said coldly, then waved her hand.

Countless runes gathered in Shi Ji's palm.

The densely packed runes intertwined to form ancient images.

Those ancient paintings exuded a terrifying aura.

Upon seeing the ancient diagram that Shi Ji had conjured, the woman in red exclaimed in surprise.

"You recognize the Demon-Suppressing Talisman? Could it be that you also come from an outer world?" Shi Ji asked in a deep voice.

After hearing Shi Ji mention the world beyond.

A chilling glint flashed in the red-clad woman's eyes.

She said through gritted teeth, "Boy, tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is not important. All you need to know is that you are about to die by my hand!" A cruel smile curled at the corner of Shi Ji's mouth.

Although the woman in red is extremely powerful, she is not skilled in combat.

Even with his formidable strength, he was still powerless against Shi Ji.

His cultivation was even more formidable than that of the woman in red.

Shiji holds an extremely significant advantage.

"How dare a mere ant at the second level of the Emperor Realm speak so arrogantly? I will definitely extract your soul and refine it into my treasure bottle later. I want to see whether your soul is more powerful or mine is stronger."

The woman in red looked at Shi Ji with a gloomy expression. Her hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals. Instantly, a cloud of black mist appeared behind her, from which surged endless curse power.

That kind of cursed power.

Extremely bizarre and powerful.

That cursed power seemed capable of taking life.

That terrifying curse power could even erode Shi Ji's lifespan, causing her to pass away.

This curse is extremely vicious.

However, Shi Ji's body is protected by stone beads.

Therefore, this curse did not harm Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's gaze fell upon the black mist, where something was swirling.

The object resembled a porcelain jar, and inside the jar was scarlet blood.

It was clearly not simple. Shi Ji guessed that it was probably the blood that the woman in red used to recover from her injuries or heal her wounds.

This woman in red must be an extremely terrifying being.

However, she was robbed and chased, which caused her to fall into this secret realm.

The woman in red is now seriously injured; her body is almost blown apart.

Even though she was robbed, the woman in red did not give up the idea of ​​escaping.

Moreover, she also summoned the power of curses to deal with Shi Ji.

The woman in red harbored a deep hatred for Shi Ji.

Shi Ji guessed that the woman in red was probably a female disciple who had been captured by some force.

Now that she has escaped, she wants to take revenge, but unfortunately, the other party doesn't know who she really is.

That's why I'm so wary of myself.

If they knew they were Shi Ji, they probably would have run away long ago.

The woman in red remained indifferent as she once again lunged at Shi Ji.

She moved with ghostly speed, instantly reaching Shi Ji. Then, her right claw shot out, aiming to capture Shi Ji and take her away from there.

"You're too slow!"

Shi Ji curled her lip in disdain, then quickly stretched out her right hand and grabbed the red-clad woman's right hand.

Shi Ji's right claw clashed with the red-clad woman's, and the red-clad woman's expression suddenly changed.

A sharp, bone-cracking pain spread throughout my body.

The woman in red twisted her right wrist, and Shi Ji's terrifying physical strength rippled out.

She lost an arm in one move by Shi Ji.

She truly deserves to be called a prodigy of a top immortal sect; her methods are indeed extraordinary, even though her right arm was shattered by Shi Ji.

The woman in red showed no sign of panic. She sneered and said, "My arm is crippled, but your body is about to collapse. Do you think you can crush me with your physical strength?"
"That's wishful thinking! My arm may be broken, but yours will be completely useless too. Then I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The words just fell.

Shi Ji threw a punch with her right fist.

With a muffled thud, accompanied by a deep crash, the woman in red's chest exploded open, collapsing into the ground. She coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Shi Ji kicked out.

He kicked the woman in red away.

Shi Ji stepped forward, intending to kill the woman in red.

She suddenly realized that when she got within a hundred meters of the woman in red, a cloud of black mist enveloped Shiji.

"Boy! Do you think my curse power is easy to fight? My curse power will devour your soul and condemn it to eternal damnation!"

The woman in red said with a sinister smile, her eyes filled with venom.

She was furious after being injured by Shi Ji and was now thinking about how to kill Shi Ji.

She was convinced that Shi Ji had to die by her own hand.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in my heart.

Shi Ji rolled her eyes. The woman in red's words were nothing but alarmist talk.

He was completely unaffected by that strange curse.

Shi Ji activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique, causing the dragon and elephant power within her body to roar, which then resisted the engulfing of the black mist.

"Hmm? You can actually resist the power of my curse?"

The woman in red was astonished. She had never encountered anything so bizarre before; someone was actually unafraid of the power of her curse.

However, the woman in red did not believe that Shi Ji could really do it...

The woman in red had already experienced Shi Ji's methods. Besides her powerful magic weapons, Shi Ji's most powerful magic weapon was her physical body.

While Shi Ji's physical body was extremely powerful, the red-clad woman's physical body was no less formidable.

The woman in red did not believe that Shi Ji's physical body was strong enough to withstand her attack.

She didn't believe Shi Ji could withstand her attack.

The woman in red sneered, "Since you are so stubborn, then today I will annihilate you, body and soul!"

The woman in red grew increasingly sinister and terrifying, her curse power surging forth continuously.

The cursed power enveloped Shi Ji, attempting to devour her soul.

Shi Ji coldly shouted, "Get out of the way!"

He jumped up.

They charged directly at the power of the curse.

The cursed power struck Shi Ji and then exploded.

Those curses posed no threat to Shi Ji whatsoever.

Shi Ji unleashed a punch, the terrifying force striking the woman in red. The woman screamed in agony as Shi Ji swept her away with a single punch.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood with a loud "whoosh".

The woman in red's already pale face turned even paler.

"You vile wench, how dare you scheme against me? Today I will skin you alive!"

The evil old man roared and charged out, then pounced on the woman in red, wanting to tear her to pieces.

But Shi Ji stood in front of the evil old man.

The evil old man roared and swung his left palm at Shi Ji, but Shi Ji merely shook his head slightly, easily dodging the old man's attack. (End of Chapter)
