Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Indeed. We can call the rules of the game in the box the Way of Heaven, and the Bitter Realm wants to break free from the Way of Heaven that binds it."

"The Bitter Realm is already powerful enough, why break away from the Heavenly Dao?"

"The core of the Sandbox Game is creation, and the emergence of civilization is random. I do not know what the true laws of nature are, nor do I know what the will of the Suffering Realm is. But during my investigation of the Muddy Forest Prison this time, I confirmed that some kind of power is secretly absorbing energy."

"What power?"

“I don’t know! Cixin, I have a vague sense of unease, as if I am caught in a mysterious net.”

Yu Cixin nestled in her husband's arms and resolutely said, "If you are truly trapped in a net, I will be the wings that help you break free from your cage!"

Luo Hou embraced his beloved wife tightly.

Driven by a fear of the unknown, he ventured into the mystery of reincarnation in the intermediate state. If the laws of Heaven contain the concept of energy conservation, then these vanished souls would inevitably feed upon extremely powerful bosses.

Even with a near-divine body, his power was still insufficient, far from sufficient.

Chapter 178 Seizing Taiji, Splitting Taiyi, Uniting Taishi

Sixty li west of the exit of Tianfo Yuanxiang, there is a cliff.

A pair of birds of the same life have grown on the wall. Born of the same breath, male and female, they are the origin of Taiji and the original place of the Primordial Chaos Mother.

During the great battle with the Buddha, the Chaos Mother dissipated and became invisible for unknown reasons. After a thousand years of gestation, the opportunity will appear.

When Luo Hou arrived at this place, there were already two people in Gongmingqi waiting for Xuanmu to take form.

One is Tonghui, the former master of Tai Chi sword, and the other is the Supreme Master Chuandeng from the Buddhist land.

As if sensing the arrival of those who came, the giant stone egg suddenly revealed the form of Yin and Yang, radiating bursts of holy light from the inside out, much like the movement of a fetus.

The Supreme Master Chuandeng concentrated his mind and gathered his strength, and with the protection of Jian Huitong, he went to obtain the Qi of Taiji: "The two polarities are the beginning, and Taiji takes shape; they share the same destiny and dwell in peace and tranquility."

The spiritual energy burst forth and, guided by the lamp, quickly gathered into the prayer beads in his hand.

With the Xuan Qi completely absorbed, Chuandeng exclaimed joyfully, "It really worked! Jian Huitong, thank you for your assistance. Otherwise, the Taiji Qi would not have manifested. Now we need to speed things up and find a weapon suitable for the Xuan Qi."

Just as the Supreme Master Chuandeng turned to return to his Buddhist homeland, a sword suddenly flashed behind him and pierced his back.

Suddenly, a powerful palm strike came, forcing Jian Tonghui back.

"Ok?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the earth's fierce calamity, don't you think?"

Jian Tonghui, who should be speaking of the fierce tribulation dust of the earth, suddenly turned around and stared at the figure he had never seen but had heard of before.

"Are you Lord Luo Hou, the Martial Lord?"

"You have a good eye."

Master Chuandeng retreated in horror: "The Fiend of Earth... How could Jian Tonghui be the Fiend of Earth?"

"Humph!"

Jie Chen's intention was to target the profound energy of Taiji. With a swift movement, he snatched the Buddhist beads from Chuandeng's hand.

Unexpectedly, Rahu had anticipated this and stepped in front of his master.

"Do you think you can steal things from Luo Hou?"

Enraged, Jie Chen drew his sword from his waist, flicked two fingers, and the pale purple Jie Chen Sword lashed out: "Boasting, drink!"

In terms of strength, Earthly Fierce is second only to Heavenly Fierce, as it was resurrected by Jian Tonghui, a cultivator, and used Buddhist power.

As the moves swirled, the sword energy surged, the Buddhist power boundless, shaking the heavens and earth, destroying everything in its path.

Despite the threatening threats, Rahu strolled around with his hands behind his back, as if he were in a leisurely garden.

"Is this all the power of the earth?"

Suddenly, Jie Chen's long hair shot skyward, unleashing the ultimate move of the Li Clan: "Earth Burial of Sun and Moon - Jie Chen's Calamity to Heaven, Die!"

Suddenly, the cliff collapsed, sand and stones rushed into the sky, valleys rose into peaks, and peaks became deep valleys, as if the entire village had been ravaged by the end of the world.

"Eroding Sun Palm, drink!"

Luo Hou unleashed sixty percent of his inner power, wielding a mighty palm that surged through the clouds and cleaved through the wind, striking Yuan Li with overwhelming force.

Bang!

With a bang, the air exploded as Jie Chen collapsed to the ground, instantly dying.

Just as the Earthly Fiend was about to perish, a wisp of Fiend Yuan rushed towards the direction of the Yin Realm, returning to the sealed Heavenly Fiend's giant foot.

Master Chuandeng watched all this in astonishment. Only when he saw Li Yuan leave his body did he believe that Jian Huitong was a transformation of Yuan Li.

"Martial Lord, thank you so much, otherwise he would have stolen the Taiji Qi."

“Master, I’m sorry, but I want the prayer beads in your hand.”

"this?"

“Master, you may return to the Buddhist realm and let me take control of your anger and punish your wrath.”

"Ah, okay."

Helpless, Chuandeng handed the Buddhist beads in his hand to Luohou and left dejectedly.

Just now, Luo Hou could have waited until Di Zhi Li killed Chuan Deng before appearing, thus avoiding enmity with Tian Fo Yuan Xiang, but he still chose to strike ahead of time.

Upon returning to Tiandu, Master Jidao was already waiting at the forge.

"Oh my, the last time I came was for your wedding, and now your son is already a month old. I really admire how fast you've grown up."

"When will you give me a surprise, sir?"

"Uh, I'd rather not have that kind of surprise. I'm a germaphobe, and kids aren't suitable for me."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Master Jidao took the Buddhist beads, pointed with his finger, and drew out the Taiji Xuan Qi from the beads.

"Refining Evil Techniques, Forging Divine Blades, Hah!"

A sinister aura surged from the other hand of the Master of Extreme Path, instantly lowering the temperature of the entire furnace to freezing point.

"It's so cold!"

"What the hell?"

Hu Shuo Ba Dao and Huo Mao San Zhang, who were acting as assistants, were shivering from the cold.

But this cold air did not extinguish the fire; instead, it ignited an even more vigorous flame.

Master Jidao suppressed the spiritual energy he had drawn out and placed it on Jidu in the furnace fire.

Whoosh!

As spiritual energy flowed in, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the blade, soaring straight into the heavens and illuminating a thousand miles away.

"It's done!"

Master Jidao wiped the sweat from his forehead. In just a short while, half of his internal energy had been depleted.

"I didn't expect the fusion of Tai Chi Qi and Ketu to be so smooth. According to my previous recommendation, the five Qi are better carried by the sword, followed by the saber, not to mention a great saber like yours."

"Thank you very much."

"Words of thanks are not enough; go and prepare some wine and food for me."

"That's easy to say."

The next day.

Duan Junheng arrived in Tiandu in a disheveled state, his original refined demeanor replaced by a hurried and flustered appearance.

Why was the Spirit Hunter so badly injured?

"Duan Mou is in a terrible state... In order to break the seal of the Heavenly Wrath, I suffered a backlash from the Tai Su Sword, leaving me with only 30% of my power. Furthermore, I was ambushed by the King of the Universe during my transmigration and barely managed to escape."

"I'm sorry, let my sister-in-law heal you."

Cui Luohan rushed forward and used all nine needles at once, along with the Life-Giving Scroll, which not only immediately relieved Duan Junheng's injuries but also restored his physical strength to 80% of its original state.

Duan Junheng stood up and exclaimed, "What an amazing doctor! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, sir."

Seeing that he was unharmed, Luo Hou did not want to waste any more time: "Please have Ling Shou come with me, as the Taiyi Sword Spirit does not have much time left."

"You expect me to do chores before I've even settled in? Is this how your Martial Lords exploit workers?"

Everyone in Tiandu smiled but did not answer.

Snow Ripples Floating Corridor, a place where snow falls all year round.

The snow seems to be falling exceptionally heavily today. In this world of white, a striking red figure lies on the cold stone bed.

Yao Ying Feng Guang remained unconscious for many days. Even though Ti Wu Shang retrieved a bit of Feng Guang's spiritual consciousness from the Underworld, Yao Ying still couldn't wake up.

On the stone bed, layers upon layers of fresh flowers were piled up. No one knew how many roads Ti Wushang had walked in this icy and snowy world to pick these vibrant flowers.

The sound of Luo Hou, Mr. Jidao, and Duan Junheng's footsteps startled the people in their grief.

"It's you? Outsiders aren't welcome here. Get out!"

A chilling sword aura rushed towards the three, but Luo Hou flicked his sleeve and shattered the sword aura.

"Ti Wushang, if I told you I could save Yao Yingfengguang, what would you do?"

"You're lying! How could you possibly save her!"

"The King Tree of the Slaughtering Isles possesses the power to bring the dead back to life."

Ti Wushang, who came from the Four Realms, naturally knew that the King Tree of the Slaughtering Shattered Island could nurture life. Upon hearing this, he rushed to Luo Hou's side and grabbed his clothes tightly.

"Are you really willing to use the king tree to save her?"

"My condition is that I take a part of her soul."

"Hahahaha, so that's why you're being so kind! You're after the Taiyi Sword Qi!"

"Ti Wushang, do you want the sword or the man?"

"I need her, but how can you guarantee she'll survive?"

Duan Junheng smiled and said, "I will take responsibility for this problem. I will leave her a sliver of hope, but once she regains consciousness, she will be just an ordinary person."
