Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Ling Ziling poked her head out: "Hey, hey, hey, how rude! You saw this Taoist priest's legs were weak and didn't even come to help him. Is this how you show respect for your teacher?"

Ren Yunzong brought over a cup of tea: "Being able to talk so much means you still have enough energy."

"So you went to get me some water, then I forgive you."

Ren Yunzong took out a clean white handkerchief and wiped Ling Ziling's sweat while asking, "Do you still have enough talismans?"

"Only five Illusionary Thunder Talismans remain."

"I'll draw it for you later. Is the magic weapon damaged?"

Mentioning this made Ling Ziling very angry. She took out her peach wood sword: "This sword is strange. It doesn't obey my commands at all. There are so many zombies down the mountain, but it just won't do its job!"

Ren Yunzong took the peach wood sword and examined it: "Nothing's wrong. Besides using it to subdue demons, what else have you done with it?"

Ling Ziling touched her head and recalled, "Exorcising demons, fighting wild dogs, picking mangoes, cutting watermelons, grilling fish skewers..."

The dwarf beside him exclaimed, "That's outrageous!"

Ren Yunzong sighed, "The sword is your magical weapon. If you don't respect it, how can it respect you? I will purify it for you later."

Ling Ziling introduced Ren Yunzong: "This is the Nengzun Bendi from the Kingdom of the Dead."

"Greetings, Venerable One."

The Foolish Emperor said enviously, "Ling Ziling, your senior brother is so good to you."

Ling Ziling proudly raised her head: "He is not my senior brother, but my junior nephew. According to seniority, Azhen should call me senior uncle."

The idiot emperor was startled: "Nephew... you've had a hard time serving this uncle."

Ren Yunzong smiled and said, "I would gladly accept it."

"Ah Zhen, we've come to find you. We need you to rescue Luca. He's been captured by the Doomsday Holy Cult. We need to go and rescue him right away!"

"The Holy Chronicles of the End Times kidnapped the Venerable One, probably for the Magic Notebook. No rush, let's formulate a plan before taking action."

Ren Yunzong was not an impulsive person. He predicted that when Hao Tianqiong convened the Five Heroes Debate, the Holy Legacy of the End Times would be vulnerable, and he would go to rescue people at that time.

The day has arrived.

At midnight, Rahu descended upon Juhu Ridge.

"My feet tread out of the flames of war, my hands grasp destruction, my name is Rahu."

Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared from the distance, one as majestic as a mountain, the other as graceful as the wind.

"The fruits of the three bodies originate from the roots of mortals, and the causes and conditions of the six realms leave no trace. The Sugata has never been the true form, and the cycle of birth and death is the gate of emptiness."

"Half-god, half-saint, half-immortal; a complete Confucian, a complete Taoist, a complete sage. With ten thousand volumes of true books in his mind, he holds half the sky in both literature and martial arts."

Before Su Huanzhen could catch up with Luo Hou, a demonic roar echoed from the dark clouds, and the Demon Prince charged down on a demonic dragon.

"I am the Demon Prince; I represent... whatever."

The cold moon and waning stars created a tense atmosphere.

At the summit, four people faced off.

Just then, an immense pressure pressed down, exuding a powerful and domineering aura, and a strange demonic coffin, carrying the might of thunder, descended from the sky.

"Heaven and earth may have an end, but the divine is infinite."

The impact of the demonic coffin caused the entire area around Tiger Ridge to collapse, leaving only a small patch of ground beneath the feet of the four people unscathed, creating a scene of five peaks standing side by side.

Luo Hou observed coldly, realizing that Hao Tianqiong was taking the initiative and displaying his extraordinary martial prowess.

But among the people present, who could he actually defeat?

Su Huanzhen?

The pancake may seem to have the lowest fighting power, but in reality, it has never reached its bottom.

Emperor Tathagata?

If Buddha were to go all out, Hao Tianqiong might not even have a chance to turn into sand.

Demon Prince?

In its combined form, a full-scale attack from the Moth Dragon Heavenly Tribulation will teach you a lesson. Besides, it's hard to say what Crimson Eyes is right now.

All that's left is himself. Surely Hao Tianqiong doesn't think that Wu Jun Luo Hou is the weakest one?

Before us stand four towering peaks, plus a towering coffin, forming a new force on the current stage.

Luo Hou couldn't help but sigh. Just a few months ago, it was the era of the Buddha's dual body, but in the blink of an eye, heroes have changed and everything has changed.

At this moment, a wild laugh broke everyone's thoughts, and Hao Tianqiong, the convener, spoke up:

"Hahahaha! Today, the myth ends, and only I, the God-Slayer, remain in this world!"

"Ok?"

Luo Hou doubted he had misheard. Hao Tianqiong had invited several bigwigs to the event just to tell them that he was going to kill them.

What kind of self-confidence is this?

Su Huanzhen must have had the same thought as him, so he immediately asked, "Are you the leader of the Holy Legacy of the End Times?"

"Wrong, I am an absolute being that transcends all! Su Huanzhen, even if you want to speak, you need to prove your strength."

A powerful surge of true energy emanated from the coffin, hurtling towards Su Huanzhen.

Su Huanzhen retaliated with a wave of his hand, and the two forces collided in mid-air, causing the five peaks to shake violently.

"My strength is certainly not as great as that of everyone here, but the sect leader invited us here not to discuss martial arts, but to discuss the situation of the world. Please, Mr. Hao, get straight to the point."

“I have returned to the world to give you a place to stand and to end all strife.”

"Ha, I started working on eliminating conflict and achieving universal harmony a long time ago, but I have been unable to make any progress because of the greed and selfishness of human nature. If the evil roots of human nature are not changed, the problem will only continue to repeat itself."

"Greed and selfishness arise simply because humanity lacks an absolute faith and reverence. If a true God were to descend, greed and selfishness would have no place to arise."

With just two sentences, he instilled intense hatred in the four people present.

The Demon Prince raised his hands in a devout gesture of worship and cried out, "God, how long will you continue to fool us?"

Luo Hou paused with his toes, and a tremendous force emanated from the peak where he stood, pressing down on the demon coffin.

In an instant, the demonic coffin sank ten feet into the ground, becoming a head lower than the peak where the four stood.

"Hao Tianqiong, Luo Hou has come here only to tell you one thing in person."

Luo Hou channeled his power into the demonic coffin, and Hao Tianqiong exerted all his strength to stop the coffin from continuing to sink into the earth.

Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"

"Your life is yours to take."

"Ok?"

Luo Hou ignored him and instead asked Su Huanzhen and Emperor Rulai, "Sage Su, Buddha Head, do you two have any objections?"

Su Huanzhen immediately replied, "How dare I disobey the command of the Martial Lord?"

Emperor Tathagata clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you for your trouble, Lord Wu."

Luo Hou looked at the Demon Prince and Chi Jing again. Under the night sky, the Demon Prince still had that indifferent expression, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, but Chi Jing's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"do you have any opinion?"

The Demon Prince patted Red Eyes: "Red Eyes, does the Martial Lord have any objections?"

"Humph!"

Chi Jing turned his head away.

Hao Tianqiong was furious, but he quickly calmed down and attacked one by one: "Emperor Tathagata, are you really Tathagata? Considering our old acquaintance, if you find out the whereabouts of the Purifying Rhinoceros Horn for me, I will allow you to live in seclusion in Yun Gu Lei Feng."

Emperor Tathagata remained gentle: "Haotianqiong, put down your foolish and delusional thoughts."

"Haha, your pathetic obsession will lead you into the abyss of utter disgrace."

Hao Tianqiong's words were clearly pointed and meant for everyone present. Su Huanzhen's expression changed slightly, but Luo Hou remained unmoved.

The Demon Prince was completely indifferent to the matter.

Seeing that he had not achieved the desired effect, Hao Tianqiong turned to Luo Hou and said, "Luo Hou, the position of the Lie Tian Zhen Zong in my sect is still vacant. If you join forces with me, the light of the Heavenly Monarch will surely illuminate the entire Bitter Realm."

Luo Hou coldly replied, "The person who said those words to me last time is now in the grave. He was the Demon Prince's father, the King of Curses of the Fiery Hell. His name was Tianqiong. Do you want to learn from him?"

"Luo Hou, you!"

Of those present, only Rahu, Emperor Rulai, and Su Huanzhen explicitly expressed their opposition; the only one left was the Demon Prince.

Upon hearing Luo Hou mention the Lord of Curses, Hao Tianqiong saw an opportunity and hurriedly asked, "Demon Prince, are you willing to join forces with me?"

“Alright, if you offer up Luo Hou’s head and let me avenge my father, I, the Demon Prince, will make an exception and believe in God once.”

"Oh?"

The Demon Prince then asked, "I have a question: Does anyone want to kill this coffin here?"

Hao Tianqiong sneered: "Very good question, then let you, Demon Prince, make the first move."

The situation is clear.

An ambitious man without real power, facing four powerful figures without ambition, not only failed in both his threats and attempts to win them over, but also tolled his own death knell.

This must be the funniest summit forum in history.

Just as everyone was leaving in displeasure, the sky suddenly changed again, and a dark cloud sedan chair came flying through the air.

"With the sword command, the demonic clouds rage, and the empress's decree will stand firm for a thousand autumns!"

Su Huanzhen suddenly looked up, and the person who had come was someone he knew: "It's you?"

A charming voice came from inside the sedan chair: "How can I not have a seat at such a grand event?"

Accompanied by sweet whispers, a strange force suddenly burst forth from the sedan chair, and in the blink of an eye, the five peaks were destroyed, the surrounding fields were leveled, and Tiger Ridge was turned into a flat plain.

"It's been a long time, Evil Lord, Demon Queen."

"Hehe, Su Huanzhen, I never expected to meet you again so soon after I came out of seclusion."

"The Empress's arrival must indicate her concern for the fate of the world. I wonder what her stance is?"

"I have come here only to seek a miracle that can bring zombies back to life. Whoever can satisfy me will also be satisfied with the strength of the Evil Lord's Path."
