Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

The black and white beads scoffed coldly.

Immediately, the bead unleashed tremendous power.

The black and white energy transformed into ancient and profound characters, each containing immense power.

The ancient runes pressed down upon Shiji.
Five loud booms echoed in succession, and after the collision, all the ancient runes shattered.

The characters that Shi Ji had formed with the power of the five curses gradually dissipated and eventually vanished without a trace.

"How could this be?"

The terrifying being frowned slightly. Although he was only a remnant soul, he possessed a unique secret technique—"The Art of Controlling Soldiers".

The so-called "strategy of controlling troops".

It is an extremely domineering secret technique.

Cultivators can wield weapons formed from various supernatural powers, and can even control puppets created from supernatural powers.

The Art of Controlling Soldiers is incredibly powerful; it is said to be able to summon the armies of the gods.

This powerful figure used his weapon control technique to directly crush the characters formed by the curse power of Shiji.

Shi Ji's expression immediately turned ugly.

She had not expected that this being would be so powerful.

"Whoever you are, I'm sparing your life today! Remember this: never come looking for trouble again. I prefer peace and quiet, and if anyone disturbs me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shi Ji looked indifferently at the black and white beads and said.

The cultivator's eyes were sinister; he knew he could do nothing to Shi Ji today.

He turned and fled quickly, unwilling to provoke this menacing figure.

After they left.

Shi Ji then carefully examined the giant stele.

The inscription on the stele is densely covered, and Shi Ji has studied it for a long time, but still cannot understand its true meaning.

However, these inscriptions should be some kind of supernatural mark, which may be comprehended if one has the right affinity.

It now appears that this path is blocked.

Shi Ji did not linger and quickly left.

She quickly left the abyss.

She continued her search for the elixir, but for the next few centuries, Shi Ji found nothing.

She even suspected that the elixir might have already been obtained by someone else.

However, this possibility is slim, as elixirs are ultimately legendary items.

If a cultivator had truly succeeded, it would have already attracted countless covetous eyes, so why would it be Shiji's turn to seek it out?
A month later, Shi Ji encountered danger again. She was nearly devoured by a three-headed demon wolf. Fortunately, she dodged in time, otherwise she would have been seriously injured even if she hadn't died.

The three-headed demon wolf was incredibly powerful.

This ferocious beast is incredibly powerful; even with Shi Ji's current cultivation level, she can only retreat when encountering it.

Shi Ji returned along the same route and soon saw a dense crowd of cultivators, who seemed to have discovered the three-headed demon wolf's tracks.

The three-headed wolf was surrounded.

It roared repeatedly, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the surrounding cultivators.

Faced with the demonic wolf's attack, the cultivators unleashed their magical weapons and bombarded the demonic wolf.

Those magical artifacts were incredibly powerful, exploding one after another and engulfing the demonic wolf in a dazzling waterfall of light.

The three-headed wolf let out a mournful howl, its body riddled with wounds from the explosion.

But its ferocity remained undiminished; it broke free from the bombardment of the magical weapon and charged towards the outer perimeter.

At this moment, the cultivators had already surrounded the demonic wolf.

The three-headed demonic wolf roared furiously, lunging madly at those who tried to stop it, but it was unable to break through the encirclement.

The cultivators once again activated various powerful treasures.

Wave after wave of attacks slammed into the demon wolf.

The three-headed demonic wolf howled incessantly as its massive body was blasted away by one magical artifact after another.

He finally crashed heavily to the ground.

The cultivators who were besieging the demonic wolf caught up with it.

Shi Ji slowly emerged from her hiding place.

She came to the side of the three-headed wolf.

When those cultivators saw Shi Ji, a chilling killing intent flashed in their eyes.

"Boy, hand over that jade token, and I'll spare your life!"

A cultivator shouted coldly, his eyes fixed on the jade tablet in Shi Ji's hand.

Shi Ji glanced at the man indifferently.

He then flicked his fingers and sent out several sword energies that slashed at his opponent.

Two tearing sounds followed.

The cultivator's head was instantly cleaved in two by the sword energy, and he died on the spot.

Upon seeing their companion killed, the rest of the group turned ashen-faced—Shi Ji's fighting prowess, which she had just displayed, was truly astonishing.

But Shi Ji's mind remained unchanged. Now that she had made her move, she was determined to seize the opportunity on the three-headed demon wolf.

Shi Ji always acted this way: if anyone tried to take her things, they would have to face being killed by her.

Shi Ji stepped forward and walked towards the three-headed demon wolf.

"This is bad! This person intends to steal the elixir! Everyone, join forces and kill him!"

A monk let out a low growl.

They immediately rushed towards Shiji and launched an attack.

"Let's go side by side! Once we've dealt with this brat, we'll split the treasures on him!" another cultivator shouted.

The whooshing sounds of air being torn apart rang out one after another as more than a dozen cultivators simultaneously charged towards Shi Ji.

"How dare you, a mere ant, act so aggressively?"

Shi Ji glanced coldly at the oncoming crowd and suddenly swung her right arm out.

Dense array of runes appeared in mid-air.

These runes intertwined and combined, quickly forming a large array that firmly imprisoned the surrounding space.

"Oh no, we're trapped! Retreat!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

"Too late! None of you are leaving here today!"

Shi Ji snorted coldly and activated the formation.

The formation trembled violently, its power increasing steadily.

Shi Ji could sense that the power of the formation was rapidly increasing.

The group of people in front of them were no match for the overwhelming power of the formation.

"Young hero, we know we were wrong! Please spare our lives! Let us go! We swear we will never again covet your treasures!"

Many cultivators begged for mercy.

Shi Ji said indifferently, "I only believe in my own fists, and I never believe in other people's oaths!"

Before he could finish speaking, he raised his leg and kicked.

One by one, the cultivators were kicked backward and sent flying, dying on the spot.

Although these people also possessed Emperor-level combat power, their strength was far inferior to Shi Ji's, and they were easily defeated and quickly suppressed.

Shi Ji frowned slightly. These people had gained quite a lot, including several immortal-grade magic treasures and tens of thousands of source crystals.

He didn't look at the corpses any further, but simply put away all the storage rings.

Then he took the purple stone ball.

Just as Shi Ji put away the stone ball, the corpse of the three-headed demon wolf vanished without a trace.

Shi Ji knew that the demonic wolf must have sneaked into the depths of the mountains, because he had sensed a terrifying demonic aura surging from afar.

The demonic aura was extremely terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

Shi Ji's expression turned serious.

The treasures on the three-headed wolf were priceless, so he naturally didn't want to give them up easily.

He immediately flew towards the direction from which the demonic energy was surging, and soon saw the demonic wolf.

The wolf was lying in front of a cave, sucking blood to heal its wounds.

The cave was filled with treasure chests, each containing precious items.

"This treasure trove is my discovery! Anyone who dares to approach will face my ruthlessness!"

Shi Ji shouted loudly.

The three-headed demon wolf glared coldly at Shi Ji, its eyes filled with menacing intent.

It was originally an Emperor-level powerhouse, and even now, severely injured and on the verge of death, it still possesses terrifying strength. Although Shi Ji did not want to fight it head-on, she did not retreat immediately.

He sneered, "Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll deal with you later!"

After saying this, Shi Ji turned and left.

"Who is this kid? How dare he provoke a three-headed demonic wolf?"

Some of the monks were whispering among themselves.

"No matter where they come from, since they've offended us, we must get rid of them!"

Another monk echoed him sinisterly.

Soon, more than ten cultivators gathered together and attacked Shiji together.

Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, and only when the crowd approached did a hint of mockery flash across her face. She then unleashed the secret technique recorded in the "Nine Forms of Overlord"—the Nine Forms of Overlord.

This technique was created by Shi Ji to counter all kinds of powerful treasures, and its power is unpredictable.

He struck forward with his palm, and in an instant, a devastating force swept in all directions; the power of that palm strike was simply terrifying.

With a series of cracking sounds, the attacks of more than ten cultivators collapsed completely, and their protective qi was also broken by Shi Ji with overwhelming force.

"How could this be?"

The cultivators were filled with disbelief. They had thought that Shi Ji was just an ordinary young cultivator, not even at the Quasi-Immortal level.

Only now did they realize their grave mistake; the person before them possessed unfathomable strength, far beyond their ability to contend with.

The quasi-immortal peak cultivator hurriedly took out a celestial pill and swallowed it, attempting to restore his depleted magical power.

But would Shiji give him that chance?
Shi Ji unleashed a variety of methods, sending giant dragons flying from her palms, directly attacking the quasi-immortal peak cultivator and blasting him into a bloody pulp.

Immediately afterwards, the dragons bared their fangs and claws, and attacked the remaining cultivators.

These dragons launched a fierce attack, and the remaining cultivators were powerless to resist, all perishing tragically.

Shi Ji then put away the dozen or so storage rings.

He briefly inspected the items and took out a large amount of spiritual materials and immortal herbs from the ring.

"These spiritual materials should be enough to help you break through to the Quasi-Immortal level."

Shi Ji murmured softly.

He then distributed more than ten storage rings to Poison Ancestor, Evil Saint, Fatty, Xia Xiaoya, and others.

"Yunheng, thank you so much!"

The fat man grinned and took out all the spiritual materials from his ring to refine. Everyone's cultivation had improved, but they were still a step away from breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal realm.

Shi Ji said, "I need to go into seclusion to break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm, so I cannot accompany you to continue exploring this mountain for the time being. You can wander around the area and keep an eye out for anything unusual."

Everyone nodded in agreement and then scattered to search.

Three days passed.

They found nothing unusual.

"Hey, there seems to be something over there!"

Just then, the fat man suddenly caught sight of a black bone, shrouded in a hazy gray mist.

"Could it be a demonic bone?"

Shi Ji was surprised and immediately rushed towards where the fat man was.

Soon, he came to the fat man's side, only to see the fat man carefully examining the demon bone.

The fat man muttered mysteriously, "This demonic bone is indeed strange!"

Shi Ji asked, "How is it strange?"

The fat man lowered his voice: "My master once said that this bone is the spine of a great emperor!"

"The Great Emperor's spine?" Shi Ji was shocked.

If that's true, it would undoubtedly be an incredible stroke of luck.

An Emperor-level being is a top-tier powerhouse in the universe, and their bones may contain unparalleled techniques or some powerful inheritance.

If Shi Ji obtains this treasure, her strength will surely increase greatly.

"Don't rush. This Demon Island is fraught with danger. Let's investigate the situation first before making any plans."

Shi Ji said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The fat man nodded emphatically.

The two left the valley, and Shi Ji immediately summoned a warship and sailed it away from the Demon Island.

He maneuvered the warship through the void and discovered that the restrictions around the Demon Island were becoming increasingly bizarre, even affecting the warship.

Shi Ji temporarily moored the warship halfway and then unleashed the Dominator Armor, which could travel at five times the speed of sound.

After putting it on, he immediately felt his speed increase dramatically.

Shi Ji continued to steer the warship toward the core area of ​​the Demon Island.

After speeding across the sea for seven or eight hours, they finally landed.

He stepped into the interior of the Demon Island.

This place is not peaceful; ferocious beasts roam freely, and most of them are at the level of a fairyland.

Although it posed a certain threat to Shi Ji and Fatty, the two were still able to handle it with ease.

This place is quite peculiar—it seems that demonic cultivators cannot set foot here, but ferocious beasts can live freely here.

With doubts in her heart, Shi Ji continued to fly deeper into the distance.

Along the way, they were repeatedly intercepted by ferocious wild beasts, but these birds of prey were no match for Shiji.

Shi Ji unleashed a punch, and the ferocious beast instantly exploded, its body and soul annihilated.

He continued deeper and soon reached the outermost area of ​​the deepest part of the mountain range.

The deeper one goes, the denser the demonic energy becomes. In the deepest area, black demonic mist swirls in the void, accompanied by flashes of dark lightning.

As Shi Ji approached the area shrouded in demonic mist, a swarm of terrifying black bats burst forth from the fog.

Each bat is over 100 meters tall with a wingspan of over 200 meters. Its body is covered with black iron-colored scales, its fangs are sharp, and its eyes are scarlet, radiating a chilling light.

These bats were clearly no ordinary creatures; they lunged at the rocky islet, tearing at it.

Shi Ji flicked her fingers repeatedly, unleashing streaks of sword light that instantly pierced the necks of the bats.

The bats fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.

Shi Ji collected the bat's carcass and continued on her way. After flying for about tens of thousands of meters, she saw a huge canyon in the distance.

The canyon was bottomless and pitch black, resembling the gaping maw of a prehistoric beast.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and a dark cloud descended from the heavens, enveloping the rocky islet.

The dark clouds instantly engulfed the rocky shore, and violent fluctuations emanated from within them, revealing a powerful being sealed within.

As the creature broke through the dark clouds and appeared, it opened its mouth and spat out a destructive beam of black energy.

The destructive energy beam swept straight towards Hou Yi, carrying a terrifying and overwhelming force.

Faced with the powerful man's attack, Shi Ji's face showed a cold smile.

She swung her arms and delivered a punch at six times the speed of sound.

With a loud crash, the black energy beam was shattered by Shi Ji's fist.

The force of the punch had not yet dissipated, and it struck the powerful man's body heavily.

With a violent explosion, the powerful man's chest collapsed, and his entire body cracked, covered with countless fissures.

Shi Ji said calmly, raising her right foot and stomping hard on the other person.

The powerful man's sternum was broken by Shi Ji, and he was then completely suppressed by Shi Ji with a stone talisman.

Shi Ji took away many of the other party's valuables, including the storage rings, but she wasn't very interested in the items, since these cultivators' savings were quite ordinary.

For cultivators at their level, obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources is extremely difficult.

Unless one obtains some rare and precious natural treasures, there is no chance of accumulating considerable resources.

Shi Ji then turned and flew into the depths of the demonic mist.

The demonic mist churned and surged.

From the rocky outcrop, one can see a towering giant tree.

The giant tree was rooted in endless demonic energy.

The tree trunk and branches are lush.

The tree canopy was covered with jet-black fruit.

Those black fruits exuded a sinister and evil aura, sending chills down one's spine.

Such fruits.

Like the legendary fruit of death, it can attract the gathering of the dead.

The "Death Fruit" is a rare treasure because it is extremely easy to give birth to a Death Fruit Embryo, which contains a rich power of death.

Even for ghost cultivators, it is of great benefit. (End of Chapter)
