Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"This is a calamity for the Buddhist land, and it cannot be stopped."

"this?"

"When the original land of the Buddhas slaughtered the intermediate realm in the past, who ever stopped them from killing? Now it is just an eye for an eye. In such a vicious place, where is the Buddha's land? Only Mara is seen."

"I thought you had let go of this hatred."

“Fool, you can only let go of hatred if one side is completely dead, or both sides are completely dead.”

Before dawn, the demon army marched towards the Heavenly Buddha's Homeland.

Although Yan Wushang was unwilling to commit more killings, the Buddhist monks fought to the death and refused to back down. Soon, both sides were so engrossed in the battle that they could no longer distinguish between war and peace.

The three kings of the demon realm arrived, bringing their elite forces. In the blink of an eye, demonic flames soared into the sky, blood rained down on the ground, and the cries of Buddhists echoed endlessly.

At this time, Tianfo Yuanxiang was in charge of Shizuo Danzongyao after Shenzuo Juye Fengtan died.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the Master had an accident due to a trivial matter. Before his death, he instructed the Three Phases Asura to go to the Realm Without Mirrors and invite the extraordinary guest master from the Buddhist Land to take charge of the situation.

This extraordinary guest, named Wang Chenyuan, is blind, deaf, and has a crippled right arm. He has no sense of smell or taste and suffered brain damage due to a major upheaval, which caused him to lose certain emotions. However, his mind is far clearer than that of a healthy person.

After Wang Chenyuan took over the affairs of the Buddhist community, he was given the name Huizuo.

He was in charge of this defensive battle against the demon realm. Wang Chenyuan sighed, "A calamity... Open the Eightfold Punishment Great Luo Cudgel!"

Buddhist monks set up a battle formation, their staffs flying, risking their lives to defend their Buddhist homeland.

As the slaughter continued, the ghostly aura surrounding Ghost Desolation Hell Transformation surged, displaying a frenzied momentum as it charged deeper into the earth's veins.

The fierce battle and the powerful demonic energy quickly triggered the defensive mechanisms of the Buddhist land's veins.

Hell Transformation let out a cold snort, Ghost Eyes discerned the key points of the earth's veins, and with a palm strike, ghostly power burst forth, surging into the sacred energy of the terrain.

"You cannot stop me!"

"Ugh~~ Ah!"

Wherever the ghostly aura passed, the corpses of Buddhists lay strewn across the fields.

The journey into hell deepens, until one arrives at the Coexisting Buddha Pool.

The Symbiotic Buddha Pool is the dividing line between the deep palace of the Buddha Realm and the outer perimeter. Under the protection of the array, the black and white jade Buddhas stand quietly.

The Buddhist monks on guard rushed forward, shouting, "Don't come near this place!"

"Annoying formation, and that pathetic bald monk, kill!"

With a shout of "Kill!", the ghostly words were uttered, and all the monks present instantly turned into flesh and blood. Then, a massive bloody aura, mixed with endless malice, rapidly forced its way into the Heavenly Buddha's Original Land, like a catastrophe.

"No, something's changed at the Symbiotic Buddha Pool!"

Just then, Fallen God Palace blocked Wang Chenyuan's path: "Demon Emperor Fallen God Palace, today you must face the calamity of the Buddhist realm, wash blood with blood, and offer Buddha as a sacrifice!"

The unexpectedly powerful evil forces chilled Wang Chenyuan to the bone. Just as the Buddhist land was about to fall, a sword flew in from the sky—it was Fo Jian Fenshuo who had arrived.

The Buddha's decree, vast and powerful, forcefully prevented the fall from the divine palace: "Go ahead and do as you please, Buddha's sword will protect the Dharma with my life!"

Wang Chenyuan immediately activated his incantation: "Buddha's Chain of Pardon - Casting the Heavenly Rebellion Law!"

A terrifying burst of holy energy shot into the heavens, defying the laws of nature and causing the Buddhist realm to begin to crumble, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Sensing the power of the earth's veins, the Buddha realm activated its attack, breaking the formation and revealing two jade Buddhas, one black and one white.

He rushed into the symbiotic Buddha pool from hell and picked up the black jade Buddha statue.

"Got it! Hahaha~"

Just as she reached for the white jade Buddha statue, the statue suddenly flew into the air and fell into the hands of a stranger. The man snatched the white jade statue and fled.

"Go away!"

Hell Transformation followed and chased after them.

Outside the Buddhist village, Buddha Sword Fenshuo fought alone against the demon army, tenaciously protecting the Dharma and refusing to yield an inch. Soon, he was covered in blood and teetering on the brink of collapse.

"A Buddha's heart severs karma!"

"What pride! He deserves to be punished by this emperor! He shall be punished as a god!"

The Fallen Goddess Palace launched a powerful attack, inflicting another wound on the Buddha Sword, but its proud figure remained upright, the Buddha tablet it gripped remained sharp, and its resolute face was as steadfast as when it had vanquished sins and demons a thousand times.

Until the spell of forgetting worldly ties was fully cast, the Buddhist land turned into a desolate wasteland.

"Go quickly, Master Hui, grant amnesty to all living beings, drink!"

With his last glance, he sacrificed himself for the greater good.

The final move: self-sacrifice to break the demon.

With a long roar, the Buddha's personally taught move shook the heavens and the earth, instantly annihilating hundreds of demon warriors.

Enraged, Fallen Goddess Palace swung its palms, about to unleash its most ferocious "Bone-Pulling Weapon" technique, but Yan Wushang stopped it: "No."

"Ok?"

"Living is more useful to us. The Buddhist realm is separated from the outside world, and we cannot enter the inner palace now, so we should retreat first."

Chapter 198 My son is grown up, let him travel the world!

The demon realm returned victorious, but unfortunately, the Ghost Desolate Hell Transformation only managed to obtain a black jade Buddha statue.

The white and black jade Buddhas are not only the key points guarding the deep palace of the Buddhist village, but also contain the pure Buddhist energy of the village for thousands of years, making them extremely precious items.

The Fallen Goddess took the black jade Buddha statue and asked Hell Transformation, "Who stole the white jade Buddha statue?"

"I have never seen this person before. He has a black cross tattoo between his eyebrows."

The people of the demon realm all shook their heads.

The Fallen God Palace summoned the demon minister to bring out three ferocious beasts and handed them to the Ghost Wasteland Hell Transformation: "These are the most ferocious demon beasts in the Black Prison, to help you reclaim the White Jade Buddha Statue."

After returning to the demon realm, Guihuang Hell Transformation felt the warmth of its fellow demons everywhere. In addition, the three evil ones gathered together and had a great time killing last night, so it was very respectful to the three kings.

Upon hearing this, he immediately led the three ferocious beasts out to pursue them.

Next, due to the arrangements made by Buddha Sword, the demon kings had different opinions:

Liushou Yunjiao believed that it was unwise to make enemies with the three religions, and that Jianzi Xianji and Shulou Longsu would definitely fight for the Buddha Sword and go to the demon realm.

The Fallen God Palace wanted to use the Buddha Sword to exchange for the Demon Emperor and the Dark Lord, forcing the Buddha Realm to open the Deep Palace on its own.

Yan Wushang insisted on turning the Buddha Sword into a fighting force for the demon realm.

He kept Duan Junheng's words in mind, and also thought of another high monk, and made a forceful decision: "I will prove that humans can submit to demons, and demons can transform monks. Throw Fo Jian Fenshuo into the Black Prison Refining Pool and soak him until he becomes a demon."

The demons couldn't dissuade him, so they had no choice but to throw the dying Buddha Sword Fenshuo into the Black Prison Refining Pool.

The Black Prison Refining Pool is a place where demonic energy condenses into water, and it is connected to the three demonic veins deep within the Hundred Demon Path of Hill Mountain, containing immense demonic power.

Unexpectedly, not long after Fo Jian Fen Shuo entered the refining pool, the silver relic on his head was corroded by demonic energy and slowly dissipated.

Then, his silver hair turned blood red, and a demonic appearance appeared on his face.

Yan Wushang laughed loudly: "Look, the high monk was originally an Asura, what's wrong with an Asura transforming into a demon? Hahahaha~"

With the demon realm temporarily at peace, Duan Junheng, along with Zhi Xin and Duan Mie Chanti, arrived at the depths of the Boundless Cliff. Today was the day to welcome Black Nineteen out.

With trepidation, the giant gate of the Ghost Path opened.

The Ghost Gate Spirit did not appear; only a cold snort came from behind the Ghost Gate: "Duan Junheng, one day you will fall into my hands!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duan Junheng didn't mind the threat from the spirit, but just kept his eyes fixed on the giant gate.

Finally, Black Nineteen slowly walked out of the door, his eyes, which had lost their pupils, still wrapped with strips of cloth.

"Father!"

"You unfilial son..."

"Zhi Xin, who is this?"

Zhi Xin proudly declared, "My son, your nephew."

The monk, Duanmie Chanti, respectfully greeted him, saying, "Congratulations on your recovery and return, Uncle."

With his children and grandchildren all alive, Duan Junheng was exceptionally happy.

“Our family is reunited; it’s time to return to the Bardo.”

Zhi Xin said, "Father, Nineteen, you go back and wait for me. I need to go to Tiandu to thank Luo Hou in person."

"Alright, then see you in the royal city. There are still many things to do in the intermediate realm."

The four split into two groups. Duan Junheng returned to the Yin Realm with the black-clad Nineteen, while Zhi Xin followed Duanmie towards Tiandu.

At the same time, Shao Hao, along with his two younger brothers and several nannies, went to Tiantian Coffin Shop.

After completing their mission, everyone had their own ideas about what to do next. Some wanted to go to the Northern Region to see the extreme snow, some wanted to go to the Southern Region to capture sea monsters, some wanted to go to the Western Region, and some even wanted to go to Japan by sea.

In short, no one wanted to go back to Tiandu.

Ultimately, Shao Hao's suggestion was approved. Shao Hao said that Wu Jun was particularly concerned about that coffin shop, especially the people lying in the coffins.

"Could it be that a peerless beauty lies in the coffin? Then I must go and tell my mother."

"Don't talk nonsense, little brother. Father is not that kind of person."

Huang Quan raised an eyebrow: "He likes to pick up people and take them home. Let's see who he's going to pick up this time."

Never one to shy away from a good spectacle, Ling Shuixian immediately chimed in, "Let's go!"

Just as the novice group was halfway through their journey, something suddenly sped towards them like a shooting star.

"Ok?"

Shao Hao reached out and caught the flying object in his palm; it turned out to be a white jade Buddha.

Immediately afterwards, one person staggered into the group, followed by three monstrous beasts, each ten feet tall, roaring as they chased after him.

Seeing the monster closing in, the Yellow Springs magic was suddenly unleashed, and nine ice peaks rose from the ground, sealing one of the monsters inside.

"Liaotian, Xuanling, the remaining two demonic beasts are yours."

"Follow the order."
