Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

The mountain scenery is half shaded and half shimmering.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps landed on the mountaintop, and the arrogant voice of the overlord echoed:

“Kuyinzi, you actually killed infants to make coffins. This is what the righteous path does. You are even more cruel than those in the Desire Realm.”

Kou Yinzi coldly said, "Since Bo Xun's return, the number of dead and wounded has exceeded 100,000. I will never let Bai Ying's sacrifice be in vain."

"Hahahaha, you think you can beat me?"

Rahu and Hell Transformation emerged and surrounded Yama in a triangular formation.

"What about Yi Ye Shu? Has he lost the courage to face the Demon Buddha?"

"The three of us are enough to deal with you, Po Ri!"

Luo Hou gave Yan Da no time to think, and threw a punch first, which was unstoppable and smashed towards Yan Da.

Yan Da's terror lies not in his attacks, but in his defenses. His golden body, formed from a thousand years of accumulated Buddhist sins, is impenetrable by any magic.

Difficult to break does not mean completely unbreakable.

Before the force of the punch could arrive, Luo Hou unleashed another punch with his left fist: "Destroy Yuan!"

The two fists struck the same spot, which was Yan Da's Tanzhong acupoint. Besides Qihai and Dantian, Tanzhong is also one of the three acupoints for storing true essence.

Attack its vitals, attack its weaknesses, and attack its inevitable defenses.

Yan Da's attack speed was slow, and each move had a casting time. Seeing Luo Hou's fists flying from both sides, Yan Da had no way to make a move. He blocked Shanzhong with his left palm and slapped Luo Hou back with his right palm.

Hell changed; the demonic eyes opened, and with the enhancement of demonic power, ghostly words spewed out one after another, relentlessly bombarding Yan Da's Tanzhong acupoint.

The three men's tactics were simple: attack a key position and fight to the death.

Yan Da had already unleashed his palms, leaving no time to change his move. However, facing the power of the three evil spirits, Yan Da coldly endured it, letting the ghostly words rain down upon him.

This is the toughest hand on the market today. It withstood two punches from Rahu and then the thirteen-word demonic incantation of Hell, yet it did not break.

Although his hand was not severed, Yan Da was not having an easy time either; his palm felt like it was burning, and he was in unbearable pain.

Luo Hou swiftly dodged Yan Da's palm strike aimed at him.

Most of the palm strike missed its mark, and the remaining 30% of its force only caused Luo Hou's body to sway slightly.

As the ghostly words continued their attack, Yan Da quickly switched hands, this time blocking with his right palm and striking with his left, aiming at the Ghostly Wilderness Hell Transformation.

They still hadn't had a chance to unleash their attack.

Hell Transformation silenced the ghost's words and protected its entire body.

At the same time, Kou Yinzi swung his whisk, unleashing abundant Taoist true energy, carrying the power of Mount Luofu, to receive Yan Da's palm strike.

Bang.

boom.

The former refers to the clash between Kou Yinzi's Daoist energy and Yan Da's palm force. Kou Yinzi was no match for Yan Da and retreated by riding the wind.

The latter was Luo Hou who threw another punch, which landed on Yan Da. This time, Luo Hou changed his position and attacked Yan Da's dantian acupoint in his abdomen.

Yan Da took the punch head-on, and immediately his internal energy surged wildly, like water overflowing Jinshan Mountain, causing his entire body's aura to become unstable.

"I hate it!"

The almost toying attacks kept Yan Da on the defensive, but as he was being beaten, he gradually realized the threat posed by the three men.

Immediately, he abandoned his attacks on Kouyinzi and Hell Transformation, focusing instead on exchanging blows with Luo Hou.

Seeing this, Kou Yinzi swept his whisk and lifted the two coffins: "Yan Da, your fellow cultivators are all in my hands. Do you want to watch them die?"

Mida and Nüya lay quietly in the coffin, their eyes closed and their faces pale. It was unclear whether they were under a curse or sealed away; they seemed to have no life left.

Yan Da was even more horrified and furious: "Ku Yinzi, I will grind you to dust!"

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability, drink up!"

Danhua embraces oneness, Yunshou gathers wind and clouds.

The Eight Trigrams are arranged in a formation, and the primordial energy is divided into Yin and Yang.

At the same time, a three-foot flame rose from the Nine Cauldrons Alchemy Furnace, and the most feared fragrance wafted from the elixir.

"It's Wulian!"

"Indeed, the Five Lotus Formation will send you to your death!"

A whisk and a palm strike drew forth abundant holy light, imbued with pure Dao energy, transforming into a chilling killing move that enveloped Yan Da's entire body.

Filled with hatred, Yan Da roared, his golden body withstanding the combined attacks of Rahu and Hell Transformation, and resolutely launched his attack:

"The wrathful and violent will shake the heavens!"

The evil dragon roared across the nine heavens, overturning the sky and swallowing the sun and moon.

With a single strike, it shattered mountains and split the earth; its fierce demonic energy penetrated straight to the earth's core, splitting Mount Luofu into three parts from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.

The Nine Cauldrons were affected; two fell into the rift valley, and the rest were completely destroyed.

The lotus formation meticulously arranged by Kou Yinzi was instantly destroyed. Instead, due to the terrain dividing the area into three parts, the three of them stood in different places, losing the advantage of coordinated offense and defense.

"What Five Lotus Throne? Die, all of you! Hahahaha!"

Luo Hou would not let the opportunity that Kou Yinzi had gained by destroying the formation go to waste. Just as Yan Da was bracing against Luo Hou's attack, Ji Du struck out in an instant.

"Triple Extreme Return to Origin Slash!"

With a ruthless move, a deadly move, and an ultimate move, three extreme elements merged together, and a shocking blade aura slashed towards his waist.

This cut is a horizontal one.

The waist is the most flexible and vulnerable part of the body.

After the Desire Realm surfaced, Rahu never drew his sword again, nor did he even make a move.

Yan Da fought with Luo Hou for a long time, but he did not use any weapons.

Neglecting the enemy is fatal.

Just as Yan Da was feeling triumphant for breaking the Five Lotus Formation, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. Ji Du had actually cleaved through the golden body, revealing a crack.

Immediately, Buddhist and divine essence entered his body, flowing rapidly along the residual force of the sword energy, like two drops of water falling into an oil pan, instantly surging into Yan Da's meridians.

"How could this be? Ah!"

The clash between holy energy and demonic energy caused extreme pain, and Yan Da roared as he turned back to fight Luo Hou again.

"All things in the universe are ultimately corrupted!"

Yan Da's attack is not as good as his defense, only relative to Bo Xun's Golden Body. If he were really hit by this move, he would be crippled even if he didn't die, especially Kou Yinzi and Hell Transformation.

This move was an area-of-effect attack. The entire summit of Mount Luofu was instantly shrouded in demonic energy. A dense, suffocating demonic aura condensed into evil karma, formed a net, solidified into all things, and devoured the three people.

"Benefactor, be careful!"

The demonic words of Hell Transformation had long since shifted from attack to defense. Even so, he still felt a blockage in his chest and his whole body felt as if it were bound. He tried his best to activate his demonic eyes, but he could not see through the thick evil barrier.

"I am unharmed."

The deep voice of Ku Yinzi reassured Hell Change, who suddenly shouted and unleashed a demonic force with his ghost hand, slashing towards Yan Da's location.

"Ghostly Desolate God-Slaying Slash, shout!"

Demonic power breaks through karmic force, and ghostly energy cleaves through demonic aura.

Just as the ghost hand rushed forward, a surge of Taoist true energy followed behind, propelling the ghost hand to strike Yan Da like a meteor.

It still aimed for Yan Da's waist.

Boom boom boom.

Three consecutive explosions were the result of Yan Da's ultimate move, which sent Kou Yinzi and Gui Huang Hell Transformation flying into the air. It was also the result of the Ghost Hand exploding at Yan Da's waist.

The ghostly power merged with the Daoist energy, drilling into the crack that Rahu had slashed open, allowing four different powers—Buddha, God, Dao, and Ghost—to simultaneously rush into Yan Da's body.

Each force, like maggots clinging to bones, both repel and entangle each other, constantly affecting Yan Da's own internal energy circulation.

If Yan Da had enough time, he could naturally expel these weak forces from his body, but now he has no time. Evil Entanglement repelled Kou Yinzi and Hell Transformation in one move, but failed to repel Luo Hou.

Jidu arrived again in the blink of an eye, stirring up a raging wind: "Nine Evils Divine Control Technique!"

A strange aura of death rose from Mount Luofu, instantly draining the life force from all the trees; where the blade's energy passed, everything withered.

The original demonic obstacles vanished in the deathly aura, revealing a gray and white world.

"Luo Hou, you are strong, but you are not strong enough. Raging Seas Destroy Mountains!"

Without the interference of Kouyinzi and Hell Transformation, Yan Da finally had a chance to catch his breath. Ignoring the burning pain in his veins, he struck Luo Hou with a fierce palm strike once more.

Deathly energy and demonic energy clashed fiercely, seemingly intent on destroying the mortal realm.

With ruthless blades and fierce palm strikes, the clash between the two heroes is bound to determine life or death.

Despite being severely injured by Yan Da, Kou Yinzi used the Spinning Sky Slash to stabilize himself in mid-air and caught the falling Hell Transformation.

"You are seriously injured. Go back to the demon realm to recuperate."

"If the benefactor does not retreat, the hellish transformation will not be reversed."

"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, hurry up."

"Benefactor!"

Kou Yinzi placed the Hell Transformation at the foot of the mountain, and in an instant, he climbed to the top of Mount Luofu again.

Hellish Desire was about to give chase when, as soon as it moved, it spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

"I never imagined that Yan Da could render me incapable of fighting with just one move. His strength is unfathomable. If Bo Xun were to merge his three bodies, how could my benefactor and the Martial Lord survive? What should we do now?"

Call someone?

Who to call?

The experts she knows today are either already on the battlefield or are not as good as herself, so there is really no one she can call upon.

There are many experts in Tiandu, and the fact that no one is here now suggests that the Martial Lord anticipated this and did not want them to be sacrificed.

Gazing at the towering mountain peaks that reach into the clouds, I felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

At the mountaintop, Luo Hou and Yan Da clashed again, their sword energy instantly seeping into the mountain. One of the three peaks, which had stood in a tripod formation, collapsed, sending dust and sand billowing thousands of feet into the air, obscuring the sky and the earth.
