Shi Ji was thrown back by the impact, coughing up a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale instantly.

"Boy, I've already taken the imperial seal. Are you still trying to deny it?"

The woman approached Shiji with a cold smile, her eyes flashing with a chilling light, pressing closer step by step, her killing intent palpable.

Shi Ji said, "Let's compromise. I can grant your previous request, but you must also agree to a few conditions!"
"What are the conditions?" the woman asked, frowning.

Shi Ji said, "First, you must not attack me again, no matter what happens; second, take off the storage ring on your hand; third, you are not allowed to leave this place. If you dare to take even half a step out, I will immediately obliterate your soul!"

The woman's pretty face fell instantly. She had originally thought she could take this opportunity to escape, but now she changed her mind.

She said, "Since you insist on this, then let's draw up a contract!"

The woman flicked her finger and released a rune, which disappeared into Shi Ji's brow.

Shi Ji sensed a mysterious spiritual fluctuation in her sea of ​​consciousness and knew that she had formed a contract with this woman.

The woman said, "Boy, I'm terminating the contract now, so don't you dare go back on your word!"

After saying this, the woman began to dissolve her contractual relationship with Shiji.

"If you dare to break your oath, I guarantee you will never be able to break this contract for all eternity!"

The woman looked at Shi Ji with a fluctuating expression, then said, "Fine! I agree, and you must not go back on your word. Once my cultivation is restored, I will come back to take your life!"

Before she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the stone.

Shi Ji sneered and raised her palm to meet the woman's sharp claws.

The moment their fists and claws collided, Shi Ji felt that the woman's claws contained a vast and immense power capable of shattering the heavens.

That power was terrifying.

Shi Ji was thrown backward by the shock.

She couldn't help but gasp; this woman was truly terrifying, her body even harder than metal or stone.

Moreover, its power was too heaven-defying, and Shi Ji even suspected that it was an emperor-level being, perhaps an emperor, or a saint emperor, or even a quasi-emperor level cultivator.

Shi Ji dared not confront the woman directly anymore, as she was currently unable to withstand the woman's attacks.

She planned to retreat temporarily and deal with the woman later.

"Want to escape? Don't even think about it!"

Seeing Shi Ji turn and fly away, the woman roared in uncontrollable rage.

She moved with lightning speed, catching up with Shi Ji in an instant.

It then reached out and grabbed at Shi Ji's back.

A cracking sound of bones breaking rang out.

Shi Ji's chest was pierced by the woman's sharp claws, and she immediately used the unparalleled divine power of the Heaven-Mending Technique to repair her injury.

Shi Ji's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the woman suffered a calamity when Shi Ji stabbed her in the shoulder with a backhand.

With her shoulder injured, the woman's fighting ability plummeted.

Furthermore, as her injuries worsened, the woman's condition became increasingly unstable, and her threat level decreased significantly.

Shi Ji witnessed this scene and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. She had been worried that the woman would break through and escape, but now she was completely relieved.

Women today.

They were already like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

The woman glared at Shiji through gritted teeth.

I wish I could eat its flesh alive.

Shi Ji said calmly, "I'm giving you two choices: either submit to me and become my servant, or perish. If you refuse to submit, then die!"

Shi Ji's tone was authoritative and domineering.

This made the woman frown.

But she immediately shook her head and said coldly, "Don't even think about making me your slave!"

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes: "Since you are unwilling, then I will have no choice but to destroy you with my own hands."

"You dare kill me? Aren't you afraid my master will seek revenge?" the woman threatened viciously.

A cold smile appeared on Shi Ji's lips: "I wouldn't mind killing your master as well!"

After saying that, Shi Ji struck the woman with her palm.

The woman turned pale with fright and hurriedly dodged.

A loud crash followed.

Shi Ji's palm struck the woman's shoulder with great force.

Puff.

The woman's shoulder was pierced by Shi Ji's palm strike.

Shi Ji then grabbed the woman by the neck.

"Let go of me! Let go now!"

The woman screamed in terror.

"What if I don't let go?" Shi Ji asked with a half-smile.

"Release me, and I'll spare your life!" the woman pleaded.

Shi Ji sneered, "Spare my life? Do you really think I'm stupid? Letting you go would be suicide."

"You despicable human, you insignificant ant, I curse you! I curse you to never be reincarnated!"

The woman roared angrily.

Shi Ji curled her lip and slapped the woman across the face.

A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out.

The woman's face swelled up on one side instantly.

She was sent flying hundreds of feet by Shi Ji's palm strike and fell to the ground.

The woman got up with disheveled hair, her resentful eyes fixed on Shi Ji.

"What? They took away a large amount of cultivation resources? What could be the reason for this?" Shi Ji frowned.
"It's said that Elder Zhao Chen instructed them to do it! We don't know the specifics. We're just responsible for patrolling and guarding the area; we don't concern ourselves with anything else!"

The three guards quickly replied.

"Thank you all for your help!"

Shi Ji smiled and said that, then flew towards the direction of Sheng Yuan Star.

During the journey, Shiji suddenly sensed a familiar wave surging from afar.

She stopped.

I looked up and gazed into the depths of the starry sky.

Countless swarms of insects were seen besieging a terrifying creature.

The creature looked extremely strange, resembling a giant beetle, but with two arms.

This creature is extremely powerful; each strike it unleashes annihilates swarms of flying insects.

Moreover, the insect swarm seemed quite wary of this creature, surrounding it without attacking, and not daring to actually kill it.

"A Soul-Devouring Beast! It's actually a Soul-Devouring Beast! How could it appear in the depths of space?"

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

The Soul-Eating Beast is an extremely special and ferocious beast.

It devours all kinds of living beings, even those powerful beings in the immortal realm.

If you encounter this beast.

They often cannot escape their fate of destruction.

Back then, Shi Ji encountered a Soul-Devouring Beast on the Tianwu Continent. At that time, the Soul-Devouring Beast had just hatched, and Shi Ji killed one of them with her stone sword.

But the Soul-Devouring Beast's egg fell into the boundless Ghost Sands.

Later, Shi Ji entered the boundless ghost sand within the ancestral court of all races, and encountered the Soul-Devouring Beast again in the depths, but at that time the Soul-Devouring Beast's strength had not yet reached its full potential.

Moreover, Shi Ji's cultivation level was relatively weak at the time, and it took her a long time to kill the Soul-Devouring Beast.

After the Soul-Devouring Beast died, its eggs fell into a deep dormancy. Shi Ji was always worried that if the beast awoke, it would descend upon the ancestral court of all races again, which would surely bring bloodshed.

Fortunately, the Soul-Eating Beast never woke up.

After Shi Ji left, the Soul-Devouring Beast remained dormant.

Later, Shi Ji almost forgot about the matter, but unexpectedly, the Soul-Devouring Beast has now awakened.

The Soul-Devouring Beast roared fiercely, unleashing devastating waves of energy that swept in all directions. The terrifying pressure caused Shi Ji's body to tremble slightly.

This beast was truly terrifying. Even if it hadn't reached the level of an emperor, it was probably not far off. It was definitely a terrifying existence. Shi Ji was unwilling to confront it head-on and decided to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

She tore through the void and took a step to leave.

Just then, the Soul-Devouring Beast appeared in front of them and blocked their path.

The beast opened its mouth and spewed out a black beam of light, which rushed straight towards Shiji. The black beam contained endless evil power.

"Break it for me!"

Shi Ji roared in a low voice, spread his arms, and suddenly unleashed a devastating sweeping attack that shook the heavens and the earth.

The powerful attack slammed into that terrifying black light.

In an instant, the giant that Shi Ji had transformed into blasted the black light away and completely shattered it into dust.

"You brat, how dare you destroy the divine power I painstakingly cultivated?" the Soul-Devouring Beast roared angrily.

The destroyed divine power was its most prized technique, extremely powerful, yet Shi Ji destroyed it by brute force, leaving the Soul-Devouring Beast both surprised and astonished.

"Soul-devouring beast, your death is imminent. I will surely suppress you and slowly torture you to death."

"Youngster, you are truly arrogant! Do you think you have me cornered? Let me tell you, today I will devour you!"

The Soul-Devouring Beast let out a chilling howl and then pounced.

Shi Ji would not sit idly by and wait to die. She quickly dodged the Soul-Devouring Beast's attacks, while the Soul-Devouring Beast relentlessly pursued her.

The two fled and pursued, covering hundreds of miles in an instant.

"This beast is quite troublesome; how should we deal with it?"

Shi Ji frowned in thought. Over the years, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and her strength had grown increasingly formidable. However, she was also well aware of just how heaven-defying a being like the Soul-Devouring Beast truly was.

I am no match for it, let alone able to defeat it. If I continue to entangle myself with it, I fear I will eventually perish here.

Suddenly, Shi Ji remembered something—a strange stone she had obtained from the ruins of an ancient temple. This stone was slightly different from ordinary stones, and Shi Ji tried to activate it.

When the strange stone is rotated, dense runes appear on its surface.

Runes intertwined and intertwined, forming a complex array.

As the runes surged, the surrounding space trembled violently, and an eerie and unpredictable aura emanated from the strange stone.

Sensing the aura emanating from the strange stone, the Soul-Devouring Beast stopped attacking Shi Ji and instead warily examined the strange stone she had summoned.

"Hmm, this stone is rather strange; it can actually affect my soul. Who exactly is this young man? How could he possess such a treasure?" The Soul-Devouring Beast muttered to itself.
Shi Ji asked, "Do you recognize this stone?"

"Hmph! I naturally recognize it. This stone is called the Soul Sealing Stone. It was forged by me at great cost and is specifically designed to counter souls!" the Soul Devouring Beast sneered.

The Soul-Sealing Stone has such an effect?

It is indeed quite remarkable.

“Since you recognize me, let’s have a proper talk!” Shi Ji said.

"Young man, who are you?" the Soul-Devouring Beast asked.

Shi Ji said, "I am Shi Ji of the human race. I have heard that you devoured countless life essences to awaken. Now you need to replenish your lost soul power, right?"

The Soul-Devouring Beast nodded and said, "Indeed, I do need to replenish my soul power. However, do you think you can easily outmaneuver me?"

"What harm is there in replenishing my soul power after I've completely devoured you? Do you perhaps think you can defeat me?"

Shi Ji smiled and said, "Is that so? You just woke up, and because your soul power was severely depleted, your strength has dropped to about 50% or 60% of what it used to be. You should be much weaker than me right now, right?"

The Soul-Devouring Beast sneered, "Even if I only have 30 or 40% of my strength left, I can still crush you. You'd better kneel down and beg for mercy now, or I might spare your life!"
Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead.

Upon hearing the Soul-Devouring Beast's arrogant words, Shi Ji was immediately enraged.

"You bastard, putting on airs, do you really think I'm a pushover?"

Shi Ji sneered and rushed towards the Soul-Devouring Beast, throwing a punch. The Soul-Devouring Beast opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of black mist, instantly enveloping Shi Ji.

Shi Ji quickly activated the armor she was wearing.

That armor has extremely strong defense.

After the black mist engulfed her armor, Shi Ji felt as if she were trapped in a swamp, making it very difficult for her to move.

She quickly activated her magic to restore her mobility.

"Young man, this is the Netherworld Death Poison. Anyone who is poisoned by this will never be reincarnated, and this poison can corrode your body! Your life is nearing its end, young man, you are doomed!"

The Soul-Devouring Beast grinned maliciously, its eyes flashing with a ferocious light.

"Soul-Devouring Demonic Poison? You lowly insect, you actually know this technique! You're truly remarkable!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly. The Soul-Devouring Beast actually possessed the Death Demon Poison, which was extremely terrifying.

Legend has it that many masters perished under this poison, which can corrupt one's soul.

Once infected with this poison.

They were almost certainly going to die.

Shi Ji took out a pill and threw it to the beast. After swallowing the pill, the festering of the beast's body stopped immediately.

The death poison gradually subsided.

"Junior, you are looking for death!"

The Soul-Devouring Beast was enraged, its eyes blazing with fury. Not only did Shi Ji injure it, but the healing pills she took actually countered its death poison.

This infuriated the Soul-Devouring Beast.

What angered her even more was that Shi Ji rushed to the Soul-Devouring Beast and punched it in the head, instantly causing the Soul-Devouring Beast's head to explode.

Shi Ji unleashed her Devouring Martial Soul to absorb the essence of the Soul-Devouring Beast.

"This beast's essence is so vast; if I can absorb it all, my Devouring Martial Soul will surely be enhanced once again!"

Shi Ji was secretly delighted.

"You actually killed the Soul-Devouring Beast!"

The other three demon lords were filled with horror.

The three demon lords all showed wary looks, clearly aware of the terror of the Soul-Devouring Beast.

"You fools, why aren't you running away? What are you doing here?"

The three demon lords hurriedly flew away into the distance and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji curled her lip and said, "It seems these guys are ultimately afraid of death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji left the mountain range.

The Death Poison of the Soul-Eating Beast is terrifying, but it is not easy to neutralize.

Shi Ji had witnessed such demonic poison before, back in the Abyss of Myriad Realms.

Shi Ji encountered a mysterious empress, whose true form was a corpse demon. Back then, when Shi Ji fought fiercely with that empress-level corpse demon...

The empress used her corpse to cast a death poison, and Shi Ji's immortal bloodline was contaminated by the poison.

Therefore, the Shiji realm declined significantly at that time, and has not yet fully recovered to this day; in fact, it is still slowly deteriorating.

If it weren't for her immortal bloodline, she would probably have perished long ago.

The Death Poison of the Soul-Eating Beast did not pose a significant threat to Shi Ji.

After leaving the Deathly Abyss, Shi Ji returned to the interior of the Deathly Forbidden Zone, a place fraught with danger.

Because of the many dangers lurking there, a slight mistake could lead to one's death.

Now that the Death Zone has reopened, Shi Ji is determined to enter and explore it, hoping to find some unexpected gains.

After returning to the core area of ​​the forbidden zone, Shi Ji found a path to enter the interior of the forbidden zone.

Within the forbidden land of death, mountains stretch endlessly, and Shi Ji continues to seek opportunities within them.

Soon Shiji arrived at a canyon, where she discovered a magical herb called the Flower of Death.

It is rumored that consuming this flower of death can extend one's lifespan, but it contains a potent poison.

Furthermore, the flower of death has an extremely unpleasant odor, and ingesting it often brings about various terrifying calamities, so ordinary people dare not touch it at all.

However, Shi Ji was always extremely bold, because this place was extremely far removed from the outside world.

Even if Shiji fell here.

It won't cause any trouble.

Therefore, Shiji did not hesitate to pick the flower of death and then put it into a jade bottle for safekeeping.

Shi Ji continued her search in the desolate, deathly wasteland. (End of Chapter)
