Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Suddenly filled with boundless courage, Shao Hao shouted at the sky full of lightning, "I do not belong to the Kingdom of the Dead! I refuse this arrangement!"

"Son of God, after a thousand years of anticipation and waiting, I await your return."

The sigh of the celestial being was heard, then the sound gradually faded away, the thunder ceased, the lightning stopped, the clouds parted and the wind dispersed, and the world returned to tranquility.

Luo Hou carried Shao Hao as they descended to the top floor of the Twin Towers.

"Son, do you know why I like standing here?"

"Please enlighten me, Godfather."

"I am not afraid of the clouds obscuring my view, for I stand at the highest peak."

"Hao'er doesn't quite understand."

"How about we, father and son, use heaven and earth as the chessboard and time as the pieces to play a game of chess for these four realms and six paths?"

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of those words, Shao Hao still felt the pride in his adoptive father's heart. He happily hugged Luo Hou's neck and said, "Whatever my adoptive father tells me to do, I will do."

"Your godfather just taught you to say no to others, but you've forgotten again."

"My godfather is none other than himself."

"Next, your godfather will exchange a drop of blood with you, a drop of blood from his heart."

"it is good."

Shao Hao agreed without hesitation.

"With this drop of blood, my son and I will be of one mind from now on, and we will be able to sense each other no matter where we are."

Luo Hou stretched out his finger, inserted it into his heart, and slowly drew out a drop of blood from his heart.

With a light touch of his fingertip, the drop of blood flew into Shao Hao's heart.

He then took another drop of blood from Shao Hao's chest and dripped it into his own heart.

As the blood of the gods entered his body, a mysterious feeling surged forth, like a drop of water splashed into a pot of oil, and Luo Hou felt his whole body boil.

It's like a new sprout growing from the soil, turning the earth green.

Its true essence is abundant and ever-flowing.

Chapter 27 Dual Elements of Gods and Demons

The exchange of heart's blood was originally a pact between Yi Ye Shu and the Son of God.

Luo Hou only wanted to go ahead and leave more opportunities for the future, but he did not expect that Shao Hao's heart blood entering his body would actually trigger his true essence.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth rapidly gathered in the capital, radiating boundless light, and lotus blossoms fell like rain.

A clear and holy voice faintly echoed from the horizon, causing Rahu to feel a sense of resonance.

A wisp of jade-like primordial energy slowly flowed into the dantian, gradually merging with the demonic energy stored there, causing changes in the demonic energy.

Black and white, yin and yang, are like two primordial primordial energies, repelling and attracting each other.

After a long while, the originally pure black demonic energy transformed into a half-black, half-white condensed bead, which began to rotate on its own within the dantian.

With each rotation, the energy lost from pulling the Demon World Pagoda is restored by one point.

After several rounds, the sixty years of foundation consumed by using the ultimate move "Fallen Star Slash Technique" was also restored.

The inner energy generated by the dual elements of gods and demons is like a deep trench beneath a calm sea, containing an inexhaustible supply of seawater.

Luo Hou opened his eyes, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The intense pain from merging with Shao Hao's heart blood had almost made him groan.

"Son, how are you?"

Just like him, Shao Hao's small face was covered in sweat, presumably because Luo Hou's heart blood entering his body had also caused his abnormality.

Luo Sui felt a pang of heartache and reached out her sleeve to wipe away his sweat.

After a while, Shao Hao opened his eyes: "Godfather, I am fine."

"Your blood?"

Luo Hou absolutely refused to believe that such a heaven-defying change was brought about by a single drop of Shao Hao's blood.

Shao Hao chuckled, a hint of pride in his voice: "Godfather, I've given you half of my divine source."

"what!"

Luo Hou looked at Shao Hao in surprise, suddenly realizing that the child's face already displayed a wide range of human expressions.

Previously, he would only cry or laugh, or simply watch quietly. But now, his expression was unexpectedly rich, showing the smugness of having fooled his godfather, the joy of being in sync with his godfather, and the innate attachment a child has for his parents.

Luo Hou's eyes welled up with tears.

“Silly child, by giving me half of the divine source, you will weaken your own power.”

“Godfather, just as you know my fate, I also know yours. Hao’er cannot bear to see Godfather die, and my divine source can help Godfather.”

“But my godfather did not give you half of the demonic energy. I am worried that the demonic energy will pollute your pure divine bloodline.”

Shao Hao hugged Luo Hou's arm and shook it: "But my godfather gave me human blood, which allowed me to experience human emotions."

"Humans are the most complex species in the world, skilled in calculation and insatiable in greed."

"Gods have fallen ones. Humans also have heroes like adoptive fathers and good people like Uncle Huangquan."

"Son, you've really grown up."

Luo Hou put Shao Hao down, bent down and took his hand. The two figures, one big and one small, stood side by side on the high building.

A lifetime of resentment has led to this day, where people from all corners of the world can now share the sunset.

Sky Burial Mountain.

Yama Lock and Yama Ancestor were summoned by the Heavenly One and arrived at the gate of the Kingdom of the Dead.

"Noble demons, why have you failed in your mission?"

Although he couldn't see the face of the Celestial One, Yama Lock was still too scared to look up. Last time when he fought Sirius, the Celestial One suddenly possessed Yama Ancestor's body and killed Sirius with a single palm strike.

The brutal scene gave Yama Suo nightmares for several nights.

On the contrary, the Yama King Ancestor, who was possessed, knew nothing.

Faced with the Heavenly One's interrogation, Yama, the Ancestor of Hell, trembled: "Heavenly One, the Son of God has been seized by Rahu, who refuses to hand him over. The details are as follows..."

After listening to Yama's ancestor's account, the eerie voice of the Heavenly One drifted over: "Rahu, an unexpected variable."

"Luo Hou is incredibly powerful; we can't defeat him."

"Xu, go find Master Fengxiu and prove your worth, or I will take back the lives bestowed upon you by the Heavenly One."

"Yes."

“Tell him that if he does not send the Son of God within three days, the gates of the Kingdom of Death will be opened to him.”

"Yes."

After waiting a short while, when there was no more sound from the other side of the door, Yama Lock finally looked up.

"What should we do now?"

"You're smart, go ahead and tell me."

"You're so smart."

"Cousin~"

"Ah Zu~"

The two demons pulled at each other as they arrived at Han Guang Yi She.

Having learned their lesson from being punished by standing in the corner last time, the two demons respectfully introduced themselves this time: "The envoys of the Kingdom of the Dead request an audience with Mr. Fengxiu."

"come in."

This time, the owner of Fengxiu not only invited them into the pavilion, but also personally brewed tea for them.

"Thank you."

Yan Wangsuo hadn't had tea in a long time. Smelling the refreshing aroma, he couldn't help but pick up his cup and take a few big gulps.

"I know why you've come, but unfortunately, Fengxiu can't help you."

Yan Wangsuo suddenly felt that the tea tasted bitter. The Heavenly One had sent him and Yan Wangzu to find Master Fengxiu, presumably there was a reason behind it that they did not know.

Regardless of the reason, only those who believe in God can attain eternal life.

"Mr. Fengxiu is being modest."

"Why don't you go and ask Su Huanzhen for help?"

Yama Lock thought so too, but he had to obey the Heavenly One's orders: "Mr. Fengxiu, the Heavenly One has only given you three days."

"Three days, another three days."

Fengxiu smiled bitterly. The three days of drinking at Huanglong were about to end, and the three days of the Heavenly Ones were about to begin.

"The message has been delivered; we shall take our leave."

Fengxiu picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Good tea, really good tea. Finish your tea before you leave."

Yan Wangsuo drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

"Oh dear, the tea is poisoned!"

Upon hearing this, Suo Wangzu immediately clutched his stomach: "Ouch~ Ugh."

"I forgot to mention something: Snow Mountain Heavenly Spring combined with Seven-Leaf Leaf is an extremely potent and yang-type medicinal herb. If you live in a dark or cold place for a long time, it will cause discomfort to your body."

"You, you, you! You are clearly dissatisfied with the Heavenly Ones, why are you trying to harm us?"

"It's alright, this is medicine, not poison. The effects of the medicine will wear off in three days."

"Hmph, come back in three days to see how you die."

Yama Locked Up Yama Ancestor and ran away.

The master of Fengxiu waved his fan and laughed, "I've had a hard time these past three days, how can I bear to see you all enjoying yourselves so carefree?"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard from the horizon, and the earth shook violently.
