Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Thank you."

Led by Xiao Liuguang, the group soon arrived at a lake in the desert. Although the lake was not as large as the West Sea, its water was azure and reflected the clear sky, making it as beautiful as a gemstone.

The eternal sky, the crow's soul, and the crow drank their fill and filled their water bags again.

"Once you cross that sand dune, you'll see some of the people of the Kingdom of Revelation. You can go there and ask where the Holy King of this generation lives."

Just then, the crow suddenly took flight, gazing into the distance and cawing mournfully.

At the same time, the reporter also showed a nervous expression and let out a low gasp.

"There is an enemy situation!"

The crows are a warning, indicating that the approaching party is an enemy, not a friend.

Everyone immediately went on high alert.

Suddenly, a chilling sound of a blade being dragged came from the sand dune ahead. A swordsman appeared with injured eyes, disheveled hair, and a murderous aura emanating from his body.

The sword he was dragging in his hand was a thick-bladed, wide-mouthed broadsword. Its dark red blade seemed to have drunk its fill of blood, emanating a murderous aura.

Before the newcomer could speak, he rushed from the sand dune toward Xiao Liuguang.

Xiao Liuguang dodged, but the man's blade flew out like lightning, his energy surging, slashing at Xiao Liuguang again and again.

"Hey, there are four people here, why are you only targeting me?"

Crow Soul noticed something was wrong with the man: "Drunkard, he seems to be insane. Help Brother Xiao fight off the enemy first."

The swords and blades of the ancient sky are broken. He throws a punch with his left hand and a palm strike with his right, trying his best to wield the sword and blade techniques.

The Raven Soul's hidden sword flashed out, swift as a swallow in flight, and viciously stabbed down at the swordsman.

With two people distracting him, the blind swordsman could only focus on fighting the enemy.

Suddenly, two stars shot out from the man's body and flew into the sky, reflecting two beams of light, one blue and one purple. The two stars in the sky and on the ground echoed each other, converging into a vast star power that dyed the yellow sand.

Xiao Liuguang exclaimed in surprise: "Wolf Star Four Luminaries - Tuo Luo Annihilation Star, how could this be?"

As the star power gathered around him, the blind swordsman gained a tremendous boost, his swordplay became even more ferocious, the evil wind howled, and his killing intent covered everything around him.

"Danger!"

Xiao Liuguang unleashed the power of the stars once more, with three stars shining brightly in the sky. Ten thousand miles of wind and clouds surged, and sand and dust swept in all directions, as if the end of the world was trembling.

Just as everyone felt they were in a difficult situation, a wolf's howl came from afar: "Awoo~"

The wolf's howl startled the blind swordsman, who then withdrew his sword and ran after the wolf's cry.

Xiao Liuguang patted his chest: "That was close, this person actually possesses two Wolf Stars."

Raven Soul sheathed his sword and asked, "What is Wolf Star?"

"This is a story from the Western Regions. Long ago, a top swordsman appeared in the Western Regions named Wolf Star Sword Master, who lived in the Wolf Star Palace. It is said that he possessed four stars in the sky, and these four stars could transform into the power of the Four Luminaries."

"Nonsense."

Xiao Liuguang shrugged: "I used to think it was just a legend to fool children, until one day, in my dream, I came to the Wolf Chen Palace..."

At that time, Xiao Liuguang was just an ordinary wandering swordsman. He liked to roam around, but his swordsmanship was really mediocre, and he suffered countless taunts and beatings.

Until that night, he dreamt of crossing Wolf Star Lake and arriving at Wolf Star Palace.

There was no one in the Wolf Star Palace. The four walls of the palace were engraved with sword techniques, very strange sword techniques. Xiao Liuguang practiced them once and found that those sword techniques were really beyond human capability.

Just as he was sighing in despair, a red star shot out from one of the walls of the Wolf Star Palace and entered Xiao Liuguang's body.

At the same time, a voice said: "Your destiny is in harmony with the four luminaries. I bestow upon you the Broken Army Star, so that you may contend for the world."

Afterwards, Xiao Liuguang looked at the knife techniques on the mural again, and understood them immediately without any difficulty.

"That's how I learned the Wolf Star Blade Technique, and I even got a star. Doesn't that sound like a lie? But that's really how I learned my blade technique."

Raven Soul nodded: "We have seen your swordsmanship and the Star Radiance. Perhaps this is destiny."

"Even more amazing is that my good brother Dafeng also learned the Wolf Star Blade Technique in his sleep and obtained a Heavenly Fiend Star, hahahaha~"

Where is he now?

Xiao Liuguang shrugged: "He's missing. What I find funny is that Dafeng not only has a wife, but also a sister-in-law and countless subordinates. How could he end up as a jinx?"

"It is indeed strange."

"The four stars of Wolf and Star are destined to fight each other, because the four stars will eventually converge on one of them. The blind swordsman just now actually had two stars on him. I'm a little worried about Dafeng."

After listening to Xiao Liuguang's story, it gradually got dark.

The group quickly climbed over the tall sand dune and arrived at a few scattered gray felt tents.

"Excuse me, are you people from the Kingdom of Revelation?"

The crow spirit bowed and asked.

Standing before the felt tent was a woman with her head covered by a veil, only her pair of bright blue eyes were visible, gleaming with a serene light.

"Of course."

"We come from the Central Plains, seeking the sage rulers of your generation."

Before the woman could answer, a dark-skinned young man rushed out of the yurt. He was wearing a leather robe, had several small braids, and carried two curved knives decorated with the sun and moon on his shoulders.

"Who's looking for me?"

"Are you the Holy Monarch?"

"It is indeed me, without a doubt."

Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly. Ya Hun took out the invitation to the sword competition written by Ji Xiashang and handed it over with both hands: "The Central Plains will hold a top-level sword competition in five months. My lord specially invites you to participate."

"Tiandu? Sword Debate Sea? Sword Review Conference? Interesting, very interesting."

After reading the invitation, Saint Lord turned to the veiled woman and said, "Emma, ​​didn't you plan to go to the Central Plains to retrieve the true power of the divine miracle? Here's your chance."

“The Holy Kings, they are still strangers.”

It seemed he had let something slip, and Saint Junshi gave an awkward smile.

Xiao Liuguang patted his shoulder: "Your juniors' juniors' juniors, what's so secret about your Enlightenment Kingdom?"

"What junior's junior's junior?"

“I, Xiao Liuguang, am a close friend of your founding hero, Hen Wufeng. Don’t you think you are the descendants of my descendants?”

"What! A friend of Mahatma!"

Clearly, Xiao Liuguang's identity stunned both Saint Junshi and Emma.

She walked over excitedly: "If this is true, please tell me, senior, where is Mahatma now? It shows that the country is in endless internal strife and the people need him."

“He has been missing for a long time, and I am also looking for him. I suspect he went to the Central Plains because his wife is from the Central Plains.”

"Then we will go with you to the Central Plains. As long as we find the Holy Hero, we can end the nightmare of the Kingdom of Revelation!"

Seeing that Saint Monarch was willing to participate in the sword evaluation meeting, Raven Soul breathed a sigh of relief. However, Butterfly Lord was still missing, so they could not return at this time.

"Excuse me, how far is this place from the sea? We need to go to the Butterfly Kingdom first to find Yin Chuan Butterfly Lord, who will be a judge for this sword evaluation competition."

Saint King laughed and said, "Then let me test the judge's swordsmanship first. The Butterfly Kingdom is right across from the Crescent Moon, less than two hundred miles away."

"Thank you. We'll head to the Butterfly Kingdom first."

"Let's go!"

Saint King and Emma packed their belongings, rolled up their felt tents, and then the group headed to the Promised Crescent to prepare to board a boat to the Butterfly Kingdom.

It got completely dark.

However, at an unknown altitude, six days above, light still shines; this is a place where darkness does not exist.

A deity dressed in white robes, surrounded by holy light, entered the Palace of Light and walked toward another deity whose dazzling light made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

The man laughed and said, "You've arrived? I'm not used to seeing you like this."

The white-robed deity also laughed and said, "My years as a demon god are not as long as those of the number one martial god in the heavens."

"Your image as a demon god is even more unforgettable to me."

“Sun God, although you have left many backup plans in the Bitter Realm, they are not as good as those in the Gate of Destiny. Look, the anomaly of the Bitter Realm is once again intercepting your opportunities.”

"You mean the power of miracles and the four celestial bodies of the wolf and the sun?"

Indeed, I am very worried about you.

The Sun God still laughed and said, "It seems you are worried about yourself? You brought Mara back, but sent one of the Trisolarans to his home."

"Ha, it's fine if he controls these energies. After all, he has things left behind by the three of us. I'm afraid the Bitter Realm will have to turn the world upside down on its own. Don't forget Chi You."

"That's because you underestimated the Bitter Realm back then. If I hadn't temporarily awakened the Xuanyuan Clan, the Bitter Realm would have already escaped our control thanks to Chi You."

"In terms of scheming, I am indeed no match for you, the Sun God."

"Having finished catching up, you came from the Dark Realm to the Light Realm, were purified by me, and paid such a price. What is the purpose of this?"

“If Mara is destroyed, my bargaining chips will be worthless. So I am telling you that my time to return to the realm of suffering is near.”

The Sun God's smile vanished: "Abandoned Heavenly Emperor, I warn you, this game cannot be played again and again!"

Chapter 237 The Retirement of Butterfly King

On the endless sea, the bright moon shines on the snowy waves, and starlight spills onto the deck.

Emma knelt at the stern and prayed, believing that as long as she was devout enough, God would guide her and Saint King to regain the power of miracles, just as the power of miracles was bestowed upon the first Suda through her devotion.

On another part of the deck, four people chatted while watching the night cruise.

The reporter was seen writing furiously in a notebook.

Saint King was a forthright and cheerful man. He talked animatedly with Xiao Liuguang, and during their conversation, Raven Soul learned the ins and outs of the Kingdom of Revelation.

After learning the Wolf Star Blade Technique at the Wolf Star Palace, Hen Wufeng became the leader of his clan.

For some unknown reason, the great war between the Elf Realm and the Netherworld affected their ancestral homeland.

Hateful Peak did not want to be involved in the war, so he led his people to migrate along the river to Promised Crescent and founded the Kingdom of Revelation.

The clansmen respectfully call Henwu Peak the Holy Hero.
