Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Such swordsmanship is something the Holy Arbiter has been looking forward to."

"Your proud and beautiful appearance excites the hunters as well."

In the midst of the fierce battle, Bian Xijun suddenly uttered a soft shout: "Transform!"

In an instant, a black feather soared into the air and flew swiftly, leaving a bloody mark on the red-clad youth's face.

This enraged the red-clad youth, whose swordsmanship suddenly changed, and he roared, "Black Bird, watch out!"

Bian Xijun remained calm and composed: "You foolish blade, can you even see the heights of the gods?"

Just as the two sides were locked in their final battle, a burst of silver needles suddenly shot out at the red-clad youth, followed by a beautiful woman entering the battlefield: "Young master, it's been a long time."

"Delightful."

The boy in red swept away the silver needles and vanished in the smoke.

Facing the woman who was rushing towards him, Bian Xijun remained indifferent: "Doctor, a lot has happened recently. I'll catch up with you after I've dealt with everything."

The woman complained, “You’ve always been a very busy person, from the beginning until now. I’ll have everything ready at the usual place for your visit.”

Before he could finish speaking, Bian Xijun had already vanished.

Chao Yizhu and Qing Shuangtai chased after the direction he disappeared in: "It's an unfathomable abyss."

"Send a signal to the ambush troops over there."

The east wind blows, setting off a thousand trees of flowers in the night sky; a faint firework explodes in the sky, illuminating the spring night.

At this time, Daoist Sanhui's Zhai Yusui, Cuojiangsheng, and Liufengcui, at the invitation of Bei Fangxiu, visited the summit of Yongxu together.

Atop the sea of ​​clouds and the peak, a golden figure could be vaguely seen, its whisk fluttering in the wind and its robes billowing.

Zhai Yusui respectfully said, "Senior, the Three Radiances of the Daoist Sect have come to pay their respects. We apologize for disturbing you."

There was no response; only the cold wind howled on the mountaintop.

"We gladly accepted Bei Fangxiu's invitation to enjoy the sunrise together."

After expressing their gratitude, a golden light flashed, and the three of them found themselves on a viewing platform halfway up the mountain.

On the platform was a stone table and three stone benches, with three cups of morning dew on the table.

A gentle spring breeze whispers through the pines.

Cuo Jiangsheng stroked his long beard and sighed, "Bei Fangxiu's obsession with the dawn is truly extraordinary. It seems he will wait for the sunrise on the mountaintop."

The cold night was still, and the three of them fell silent.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the mountaintop: "Don't worry about disturbing me, please make yourselves at home."

The three of them started discussing again, recounting the legendary tales of Kita Yoshihide's life with great relish:

"Bei Fangxiu did not like ordinary landscapes. He traveled all over the world and finally found the peak of Yongxu."

“I remember when Kita Yoshihide asked us about the meaning of Dawn, the three of us had our own understanding and answers… When Kita Yoshihide heard the answers, he just smiled calmly.”

The clouds gradually turned golden, and the sky brightened little by little. For some reason, the eeriness of the sky grew stronger and stronger. The rumbling thunder continued, and the wind howled, making the three members of the Taoist sect feel uneasy.

Just as dawn was about to break at the summit of Yongxu, the people of Tiandu on the outskirts of the Abyss of Unpredictability saw the spring tree firework.

The peacocks gracefully descended.

Bian Xijun spread his arms, revealing the black wings on his back, and the yin and yang worlds paused for a moment.

Immediately, Bian Xijun unleashed his incantation: "Defying the Heavenly Decree, the sea is vast and the land is abundant. Revering the Cloud Laws and Precepts, the sails guide the return journey. The Dharani speaks its entirety, the net of gods hears. The calamity is without cause, the borders are only for conquest."

Suddenly, as the French words rolled down, a divine gate opened from the mountain wall, shaking the heavens and earth, and making the stars lose their color.

Bian Xijun threw the Earth Seal in his hand into the Gate of Hidden Desires. With the elements complete, the four seals opened simultaneously, and black energy swept across the land, profound energy soared into the sky, and evil energy exploded across the land.

The people of Tiandu, who were lying in ambush outside the Abyss of Unpredictability, only saw the divine gate open, but no one came out of it.

"What's going on?"

"Beilie Jingtao, what should we do now?"

"If they won't come out, let's charge in and strike right at their heart!"

The expected cult army did not emerge from the Gate of Desire. Qing Haichao frowned in thought, wondering where these people might be hiding.

Just then, black gas surged from the ground, engulfing the sky and swallowing the sky, which should have been bathed in the light of the rising sun. It was instead swallowed by the deep, despairing darkness.

Demons and evil spirits emerged from the earth, plunging the land into an endless apocalypse.

"Hooray~ Wow~"

"Hehehe, after waiting for sixty years, we've finally come out."

"Kill! Eat! Enjoy this delicious human being to your heart's content!"

What is dawn?

Liu Fengcui: "The beginning of a day symbolizes the first ray of light of new life."

Cuo Jiangsheng: "As the night passed, a glimmer of light appeared, representing hope."

Zhai Yu Sui: "The cycle repeats itself, returning to clarity, and the dawn's light reveals the origin of the Tao."

When the dawn that had already appeared was swallowed by darkness again, Bei Fangxiu on the summit of Yongxu became angry, and an unparalleled Taoist aura poured out, stirring up the sea of ​​clouds.

This energy quickly spread thousands of miles away, searching for the source of the strange phenomenon.

However, after a long time, the origin of the darkness of the mortal world could still not be found; it seemed that everything came from heaven and earth, from nothingness.

"Heaven, the Way, and Man are originally one. Now, the three lights are obscured, the seasons are in chaos, the vitality of all things is hidden, and the world is tilted."

Upon hearing Bei Fangxiu's words, Zhai Yusui and the other two were astonished: "Senior, is this something that can be done by human power? What kind of monstrous being can wield such a massive amount of dark energy?"

"The current situation is just a warning sign."

Zhai Yusui was suddenly startled: "Is Bei Fangxiu referring to the great battle at the summit of Yongxu long ago?"

Cuo Jiangsheng recalled: "Is the demon that once drove darkness to shroud the mountains of Taoism about to return?"

Liu Fengcui sighed, "That war was truly brutal. The Dao Zhen Nine Great Sword Formations were broken one by one under the demons' slaughter, and their respective lineages were also wiped out. Even with the assistance of the Dao Ling and Dao Xuan lineages, blood still flowed like rivers and corpses lay for miles."

"Alas, before we could even contribute, the demonic calamity was quelled by Kita Yoshihide."

Bei Fangxiu, having found nothing, withdrew her energy: "Without the dawn, this world loses its meaning."

The darkness of the mortal world also affected Shuli Mountain. Extraordinary forces from beyond the heavens swept in, causing a violent tremor in the realm of time.

"what happened?"

After completing his mission and returning to Time City for a vacation, Zui Guangyin shouted blankly.

"Oops!"

Yin Sui's hat was shaken off, and Qi Luosheng also ran out from under the tree to look around.

Su Huanzhen, who was grinding grain, suddenly got stuck and couldn't move the sundial no matter how hard he tried.

"Lord of the city, how could this be?"

The Lord of Time appeared before Su Huanzhen: "The sundial has stopped working, the hands of all things are in disarray, life cannot be born, death cannot be born, and the world is in chaos."

"Ah! Does Time City have a solution?"

"This calamity has swept across the entire Bitter Realm. Its power is immense, and the casualties and impact are incalculable. There are only two ways to resolve this situation."

Which two methods?

"Firstly, to dispel the dark clouds and let in the dawn; secondly, to obtain the fire of the sun underground, so that the sundial can operate temporarily."

"Once the dark clouds are cleared, Senior Yi Ye Shu will surely handle it. Please send Zui Guang Yin to Yun Du Mountain to inform him of this information."

The Lord of Time looked solemn: "This disaster was originally within our expectations, but because many Heavenly Daos have been disrupted, the disordered Heavenly Daos have triggered a series of random events. I am still figuring out how to guide these events back to their original course."

Su Huanzhen astutely seized upon the loophole in the city lord's words: "We? What does the city lord mean?"

"Ha, I will send Zui Guangyin to Yundu Mountain, but he can no longer be responsible for obtaining the underground fire seed. It must be the person who caused the change who eliminates this change."

"Who caused this change?"

"Rahu".

With the return of Yinzi, Su Huanzhen no longer has any clones in the Bitter Realm. He is extremely anxious about the serious disaster that has just occurred.

It was Luo Hou who dissuaded Hell from rewriting the "Heavenly Secrets and Prophecies," otherwise he would certainly have been able to deduce today's calamity from the "Heavenly Secrets and Prophecies."

“Lord of the city, Luo Hou still owes me a favor. Please ask Zui Guangyin to go to Tiandu after Yun Du Mountain. He can then retrieve the fire from the ground.”

"Yes, a two-pronged approach is more efficient."

After leaving the sundial area, the Lord of Time arrived at the Tree of Time and told the Most Time to immediately cancel his vacation and go down the mountain to run a mission.

"To dispel the darkness of the mortal world, one needs the three channels of Heaven, Earth, and Man... and so on."

Zui Guangyin scratched his head: "It's too complicated, Little Peach, did you remember it?"

"Wang Wang!"

"Alright, alright, the heavens are three celestial seasons, the earth is three ley lines in the demon realm, and the humans are three people. Little Peach, let's go!"

After Zui Guangyin left, Qi Luosheng asked worriedly, "City Lord, are you really comfortable letting Zui Guangyin deliver such a complex message?"

"It's alright, this plan is most likely to be unnecessary."

"Ok?"

The Lord of Time walked back to his back garden. The Three Lights, which originally reached the Six Heavens, disappeared. For the first time in millions of years, absolute darkness appeared.

"Ling Guangjun."

A gentle voice came from afar.

Although darkness severed the connection between Time City and the Palace of Light, the Lord of Time City still respectfully rose and bowed: "It is the God Lord."

Are you not used to the dark?

"I have grown accustomed to the light."

"Only by experiencing darkness occasionally can one truly appreciate the value of light."
