Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"How is that possible!"

The Eighteen Hells Formation was filled with death energy. The God of the Dead Kingdom had already broken down the defenses of Stormy Heart Slave, and now Time was coming again.

Before Bao Yuxin could think further, the bone blade struck with deadly force.

Bao Yu dodged to the side, and with a thud, the tip of the knife pierced the old wound on his shoulder.

"Ah~"

With a cry of pain, Bao Yuxinnu leaped away.

"Damn it, how could Zui Guangyin break through my Eighteen Hells Formation? Unless... unless he's not human!"

Chapter 252 The Gate of Hidden Desires, The Black Sin Peacock

The cave, long unvisited, was covered in cobwebs, and a dark wind blew incessantly, carrying a fishy smell that had not disappeared over countless years.

Yu Bufan unfolded his folding fan and began to fan it rapidly.

"Juechen, this is the Juejing Cave Heaven, the place where Ni Hai Chongfan conducted tests on his followers back then."

"Ah."

"Only by enduring the tortures here can one become a true believer, but this place is full of corpses. Could it be that these people all died during the trials?"

"maybe."

The further they went, the more bones they saw. When they reached the last large cave, the bones inside were piled up like a mountain, filling the entire cave.

Even though the two had fought many battles, they were still horrified by what they saw.

Mo Dao Juechen pulled out a bone, on which a terrible sword mark was clearly visible. He pulled out several more, each one like the last.

"It wasn't that the torture was unbearable; these people were killed here."

“Juechen, it seems necessary to visit Yufeng Island again. So far, the only high-ranking figure we have tracked down is Du Wuyu.”

"Ah."

Yu Bufan, who was usually calm, couldn't help but feel indignant at this moment: "The Desire Realm and the Subtle Desire Realm are truly birds of a feather. One is causing chaos in Buddhism under the guise of orthodox Buddhism, while the other is deceiving the world with the false hope in despair. How can there be so many evil cults in the world!"

"They must be stopped."

"It's a pity that Du Wuyu is unwilling to hand over the Death Seal, otherwise we could take it to open the Gate of Hidden Desires, then guard this place and wipe them all out."

It was Luo Hou's arrangement for Tianxia Fengdao to keep an eye on Ni Hai Chong Fan. To deal with this kind of organization that preaches in some small village, the only tactic is to keep a close watch on them.

Although the headquarters of the Reverse Sea Sacred Sail was sealed by Du Wuyu, it did not mean that the organization was completely wiped out. Just as the Desire Realm lurked in the Buddhist Land, the Reverse Sea Sacred Sail also had many loyal followers who preached while waiting for their Holy Voyager and Holy Judge to descend.

The results were remarkable. After several years of pursuit, apart from a few small teams that had infiltrated and infiltrated, all the remaining followers had been captured and imprisoned in the Tianxia Fengdao prison.

They are just waiting to capture the leader before conducting the final trial.

Yu Bufan and Mo Dao Juechen left the Desolate Cave and headed to Yufeng Island.

"Juechen, I've heard your swordsmanship has improved again. Don't leave me too far behind."

"I sparred with Xiao Liuguang, who has mastered the Wolf Chen Blade Technique, the other day, but I was slightly better. My blade technique is still far from being the best."

"Take your time, we have plenty of time anyway."

Just as they reached the outer edge of Wind Riding Island, they saw torrential rain pouring down on the island, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

"Not good!"

At this moment, Bao Yuxin Nu was throwing a skull that had long since turned to white bones in front of Du Wuyu.

“My heart has fallen into darkness, and my father could not rest in peace. So I have come back from the netherworld to see you.”

"Stormy Heart Slave, you actually dug up your own father's grave!"

"That's not all, Uncle Du. Xin Nu also killed his senior brother in front of Father's grave. Since he likes to pester Father so much, he should go to hell and keep Father company."

Du Wuyu was furious and could no longer tolerate it. She pointed at the person in front of her and said hatefully, "Hopeless!"

Bao Yuxinnu continued, "Uncle Du, can you hear my father scolding you? You betrayed his request and turned Xinnu into a bad person."

"drink!"

With a triumphant shout, the ancient sword was drawn, unleashing a terrifying sword aura that swept away the torrential rain and enslaved the heart slave.

At the same time, the war scythe flashed, bringing with it a shower of raindrops, and swiftly slashed with a sword.

Swords clash with demonic scythes, blades show no mercy; illusion and reality intertwine, wind and rain howl in unison.

After a long and fierce battle, Du Wuyu's sword, like the winter wind, became increasingly imposing as it darted about, causing Bao Yuxinnu to gradually lose ground.

"The Zoroastrian rain is offered, and the wind carries the stench of blood!"

As the evil incantation was chanted, a deathly aura swept in, life was extinguished, and the human world was plunged into hell once more.

In an instant, black mist enveloped the surrounding area, and demonic light reached the heavens, dragging Du Wuyu into the Eighteen Hells Formation.

Within the formation, the wind blades and nightmare fire surged like a killing sea, endlessly swirling. Du Wuyu knew the terror of this formation, so she changed her sword technique, instantly transforming it into a raging wind, and charged step by step toward the formation's core.

But the deathly aura within the formation gradually robbed him of his life.

"Hehehehe, over the years, Uncle Du, your swordsmanship has deteriorated. If you don't use your ultimate move soon, you'll really be going to hell to join my father."

A deadly formation, a deadly move—Du Wuyu's death seal instinctively surfaced: "Dark Boundary, break!"

Instantly, a sword blade with several times the power roared out, transforming into thousands of sword shadows, and absorbing all the death energy in the formation.

With a bang, the formation broke again.

This time, instead of getting angry, Xin Nu was overjoyed: "Uncle Du, it turns out you really can help Xin Nu find the Great God Zasa. Then Xin Nu will spare your life for now."

Gazing at the death mark that appeared on Du Wuyu's sword, Bao Yuxinnu left with satisfaction.

Du Wuyu sheathed his sword and remained silent, waiting for the agitation of the Death Seal to subside.

Yu Bufan and Mo Dao Juechen witnessed this scene.

Before Du Wuyu could even try to cover up, Yu Bufan eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Yijian Fenghui, we have no ill intentions in coming here. We just want to know if the appearance of your Death Mark just now will cause the Gate of Hidden Desires to appear in the world?"

"No comment."

Yu Bufan said helplessly, "Island Master Du, we have already been to the Desolate Cave Heaven, we know what kind of organization the Reverse Sea Sacred Sail is, and we also know that you were one of the founders and later personally sealed the Reverse Sea Sacred Sail."

"You've gathered so much information in such a short time, Yu Bufan, you're a very thoughtful person."

“Island Master Du, whatever your past may be, now that you have sealed your latent desires, it means you have parted ways with this cult, and we may have the possibility of cooperation.”

"You can't imagine how powerful this organization is."

"Can it be as powerful as those in the Desire Realm or Mara?"

"The latent desire and the desire realm are of the same origin. The power of faith possessed by the desire realm creates the spiritual Buddha mind of Mara, while the power of faith possessed by the latent desire transforms into the four marks of birth, old age, sickness, and death."

Seeing that he was difficult to persuade, Yu Bufan had no choice but to settle for second best:

"Or, please tell us the location of the Gate of Desire in the world, and we will have a strategy to deal with it."

Du Wuyu finally relented: "The Unfathomable Abyss, this is the Lu Guan Map."

Yu Bufan accepted the map and bowed in thanks, saying, "Thank you, please."

Watching the two figures disappear, Du Wuyu sighed softly, "The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease. Is the gate of hidden desire truly about to appear in the world?"

Things from long ago gradually came to mind—

War raged across the land, and the people suffered greatly.

Jiu Shenlian, Bian Xijun, and Huo Fengxing swore brotherhood in Huanglong Village and decided to create Nihai Chongfan together.

In times of war, faith is the only way to bring comfort to the common people, like a lighthouse in a vast sea, guiding the way for all living beings.

Huo Fengxing picked up a blood-stained handkerchief from the corpse, tore it into three pieces, and used them as tokens of their sworn brotherhood.

After the founding of the religion, Jiu Shenlian became the Holy Voyager Tianyu, while Bian Xijun, due to his possession of dark sin secret techniques, became the Holy Arbiter Dibo.

One of them was responsible for God's grace, and the other for God's punishment, so that miracles were displayed to the world everywhere.

The Calamity Wind is the successor to the Extinction Emblem and Death Seal, responsible for killing people.

Murder makes people more desperate.

Only hope born of despair can draw the masses to its side.

Until one day, Jiu Shenlian ordered him to kill all 36,500 people in the Desolate Cave Heaven in order to create the Zaohai Tuluo Formation.

One vengeful spirit can dim the world for a day; thirty-six thousand five hundred vengeful spirits will extinguish the world's light for a hundred years.

The existence of the Desperate Cave was originally intended to test the will of believers, but it has become a graveyard for more than 30,000 people. This is a killing karma that Huo Fengxing can never get rid of in his lifetime.

After that day, Huo Fengxing drifted further and further away from Tianyu and Dibo, and finally chose to seal Ni Hai Chongfan with the Death Seal.

Upon learning the news, Bian Xijun rushed to the scene and fought him to the death. In the midst of the desperate struggle, Bian Xijun's soul was stolen by the ghost thief Hun Qianshou, and he fell into a coma from then on.

Outside the school for cherishing words, Hun Qianshou was picking flowers in the wilderness, intending to weave a wreath for his daughter, Lian Zhuang.

"Old Dog is nearby; it's unlikely he'd run into that demon by chance, right?"

Suddenly, a voice that sent chills down Hun Qianshou's spine taut rang out from behind: "Demon, are you referring to me?"

Hun Qianshou turned around, trembling: "Rainstorm... Rainstorm Heart Slave!"

"It is I, your humble servant. What do you wish to offer in exchange for your life?"

"The key... the key has been taken."

"That's not what Xin Nu was talking about. Think about it quickly, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist cutting off your head."

The enormous scythe rested on Hun Qianshou's neck, its coldness biting to the bone.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The demons from hell were calling for his life, and suddenly, Hun Qianshou blurted out: "The soul of the Black Sin Peacock!"

"A clever person, you have once again escaped death's invitation."

Stormy Hearts put away the scythe and took the small bottle containing Bianxi Jun's soul.

Hun Qianshou fled in a sorry state toward the Xizi Academy: "Zui Guangyin, it's not safe here anymore, let's go!"

Yu Bufan and Mo Dao Juechen followed the map and sped towards the Unpredictable Abyss.
