Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

A dense demonic aura surged forth from the "Heavenly Punishment" scroll in Jiu Shenlian's hand, carrying with it the wails of countless evil bones and the lamentations of vengeful spirits, paving a fifty-zhang-long road to the underworld that led directly to the pit.

With a light flick of her toes, she sent Xuanling onto the road to the underworld, where he slid into the abyss amidst the clamor of countless demons.

"My son!"

"Xuanling!"

"Little Lord!"

The terrifying scene prompted Yu Cixin and the others to rush forward without hesitation, but the surging demonic energy blocked them all.

Juan Shoutian saw the Demon Gate open beside him, drew his famous sword, and instantly six blazing suns rose.

"Six Yangs Burn the Night!"

Six blazing golden crows illuminated the night sky, shining across the universe. The blazing sun entered the sword, and the sword emitted brilliant light, slashing down on all demons and monsters in the world.

But unable to break through the bizarre magic from hell, Xianling still fell into the abyss.

"Xuanling!"

Just as Yu Cixin cried out in despair, golden, black, and white extreme primordial light flashed, and Xianling was thrown away by the barrier set up by Luo Hou.

The sudden change startled Jiu Shenlian. Just as she was about to move, a monk appeared out of thin air at the summit of Yongxu, and with a gentle wave of his arm, pulled Xianling into his embrace.

The monk, holding a Buddhist staff, with a gentle expression, slowly chanted:

"Holding a cassia staff, I tread the boundless green path; amidst the fragrant blossoms, I feel the waters encircling the mountains. Managing affairs in all directions, I casually entrust them to the clouds; traversing the eight deserts, I await the invitation of the beginning of time to be together."

Jiu Shenlian was shocked: "That voice? You're actually a god!"

Ignoring the hostility of the crowd and without answering Jiu Shenlian, the monk carried Xianling to the edge of the deep pit. His Buddhist staff shot out a brilliant light, like crystal, shattering the Extreme Yuan Barrier that had been corrupted by the Demon Gate.

Yu Cixin charged forward, brandishing her halberd: "Give my son back!"

The monk suddenly transformed into a wisp of smoke and appeared on the other side of the pit: "Empress Wu, please do not act rashly, and listen to what I have to say."

"Say!"

“Young Master can return it to you, but I need Tian Du’s guarantee that he will not be an enemy of Black Sea Prison.”

What is the Black Sea Forest Prison?

"After tonight you will know that with the Martial Lord gone, I want the Empress Wu to swear an oath here, otherwise if I loosen my grip, the young master will be doomed forever."

Yu Cixin was worried because she hadn't seen Die Xiaoyue: "Where's Xiaoyue?"

"That young girl should have been rescued by the people of Tiandu by now. Time is limited, so Empress Wu, please make a decision immediately."

The monk released his grip, and Xuanling's feet landed in the broken part of the barrier, with evil spirits and vengeful ghosts constantly swirling around him.

Yu Cixin was strong-willed throughout her life and had never been threatened by anyone. However, with her own son's life hanging by a thread, she had no choice but to submit to the enemy: "I swear as Empress Wu of Tiandu that as long as my son is safe, Tiandu will never again be an enemy of the Black Sea Forest Prison."

"very good."

The monk nodded in satisfaction, tossed the string to Yu Cixin, and then leaped into the abyss.

"I searched the empty steps and found a fleeting shadow, but my heart remained uncomprehended before the mirror. Who will listen to the sound of the dark rain? I searched the ends of the earth and chased the green mountains."

Yu Cixin caught Xianling, her anger blazing: "Kill Jiu Shenlian!"

Since the Martial Emperor rebuilt Tiandu, Tiandu has never felt so stifled. Without further ado, swords and blades were drawn, fists and palms moved swiftly, and hatred consumed the Divine Refinement.

"Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Chapter - Purgatory Demonic Calamity, drink!"

In his final move, Jiu Shenlian was willing to turn this world into a purgatory. If he could not achieve his wish in this life, he would never allow this world to be beautiful.

Just as the calamity descended upon the world and all the demons were rampaging, a deafening explosion was suddenly heard, and an extremely cold black flame shot out from the deep pit in the ground.

From within the black flames, a demon lord in white robes and armor emerged, dragging a long spear and laughing wildly. Behind him followed a group of bizarre demon generals.

The Demon Lord scooped up the Dragon God's Staff and swiftly retreated, leaving only a heroic poem atop the Everlasting Sun Peak:

"A thousand years of achievements, an eternal name, heroes stained with blood; on the battlefield, they fight for supremacy, their spirit lasts a century, the victor's name is mine!"

It's getting daylight.

Apart from the ever-rising, frigid demonic flames and the completely collapsed mountains, nothing remains at the summit of Eternal Dawn.

After Ji Shanhu, carrying Xiaoyue, reunited with the others, the entire Tiandu evacuated completely.

Juan Shoutian took turns channeling his true energy into the injured Daoist Sanhui.

"Bei Fangxiu, although Ni Hai Chongfan has been eliminated, another Black Sea Forest Prison has emerged. What should we do?"

"The Heavenly Capital is bound by an agreement not to target these demons. I will go and establish a Zen retreat in the Heavenly Capital."

"Then we'll go back for now and await your news. Thank you."

"please."

As the sun rises and dawn breaks, Juan Shoutian feels no warmth under the extreme cold of the demonic flames.

Farewell, Peak of Eternal Dawn.

At the summit of Shuli Mountain, the Lord of Time sighed. Before the Black Moon Fire could be retrieved, the Black Sea Forest Prison had already arrived in the Bitter Realm.

“Lord Lingguang, only when there is a back-and-forth can the game last.”

"Lord God, we never expected that the Buddhist realm's contingency plan would instead allow the Black Sea Prison to break free of its seal. The people of the Buddhist realm have dug their own graves and have even implicated us."

"Since it's a variable, we can only accept the variables within variables."

"It's time to bring Su Huanzhen back. We must not allow the three yangs to appear in the sky at the same time, otherwise time will lose its meaning."

“Ling Guangjun, from the perspective of God, time is just one of the many dimensions of the universe.”

"My Lord, time is one thing to you, but it is the only thing to Ling Guangjun."

Chapter 262 The Grand Stage of the Bitter Realm: One Act Ends, Another Begins

"The realm of suffering is truly beautiful!"

The white-armored demon leader, clutching the Dove God's Staff, rode the wind, traversing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains while exclaiming in amazement.

"Why do people in this suffering world not cherish such a beautiful world, but instead vainly seek immortality?"

Jiu Shenlian struggled in vain. She was surrounded and attacked by the people of Tiandu. Although she survived by using a forbidden move, she also suffered the backlash of the forbidden move and was now on the verge of death.

But she never accepted her fate: "Put me down!"

The demon leader laughed and said, "Woman, do you want to fall to your death or be killed by the backlash of demonic energy?"

"You can save me? Who are you?"

After surveying the desolate landscape, the Demon King and his generals landed atop a towering mountain.

Steep peaks, continuous mountain ranges, and deep valleys together create a magnificent world.

The mountains are shrouded in mist and clouds, with jagged rocks and deep forests, forming several mysterious and secluded formations.

The Demon Lord gazed at the mountain peaks with fascination and asked Jiu Shenlian, "Woman, what place is this?"

"Xiongshan is said to be the place where Mu Zhengrong, the master of the Bagua Xinliu lineage of Dao Xuan, cultivated his Daoist arts. He set up a unique Daoist formation here, which, combined with the mountain's terrain, makes it extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"is it?"

The Demon Lord put down the Divine Chain, turned to face her, and said casually, "How can a mere Taoist priest be worthy of possessing this land of creation? This majestic mountain belongs to Xuanxiao."

Jiu Shenlian stared intently at the radiant yet familiar face; it was the person from her dream.

"Are you the one who reinterpreted 'Heavenly Punishment' for me, a god from hell?"

Xuanxiao laughed loudly: "If there really is a god in Hell, then it is my father, the true Lord of the Black Sea Forest Hell, Yama."

"Uh~"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Shenlian could no longer suppress her injuries and vomited a mouthful of crimson blood.

Xuanxiao placed his palm against Jiu Shenlian's back and channeled a surge of dark magic into her: "Your forbidden technique comes from the Forest Prison Secret Art. I will heal you, and from now on you will serve me."

Jiu Shenlian voiced his doubts: "Now that Hell has been opened, where is Heaven? And where is the Kingdom of Immortality?"

"Hahahaha, woman, your name is foolishness! What kind of immortal kingdom is there in this world? Father is just using you to open a passage from the Forest Prison to the Bitter Realm."

"what!"

"However, if Senyu unifies the Bitter Realm, then the three yangs will be in the same sky, and your desire for immortality will also be fulfilled."

"fraud!"

Xuanxiao looked at Jiu Shenlian with a playful expression: "Now that Ni Hai Chong Fan's entire army has been wiped out, you are all alone. Considering how much you have sacrificed for Sen Yu, I might as well give you another chance. If you can give me an heir, you will have a place in the future of Black Sea Sen Yu."

"What did you say!"

Jiu Shenlian was so angered by these words that her eyebrows shot up. Before she could retort, the four commanders under Xuan Xiao changed color:

"My lord, you mustn't!"

"How could Senyu marry a woman from a foreign tribe as his crown princess!"

"Royal bloodlines must not be defiled. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Xuanxiao shook his head: "Senyu has four crown princes. My three elder brothers are not married. If I give birth to an heir first, I will have an advantage in front of the emperor."

"this?"

The four demon generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but then Xuan Xiao ordered them: "Four Commands, Listen Up!"

"My subordinate is here."

"You will remain in the Bitter Realm and complete two tasks. First, find out the whereabouts of the Winged Demon. After the Winged Demon fought a fierce battle with the Daoist sect, he disappeared and was never heard from again. I want you to find him."

"Yes."

"The second matter is that of my nineteenth brother, Tianluozi, who should not exist. Find out his whereabouts as soon as possible."

"I heard that Tai Sui came to the Bitter Realm on the secret orders of Yama, and is also carrying out a mission related to Tian Luo Zi."

"No matter who it is, kill them all!"

"Yes, sir!"

With a deafening roar, Xuanxiao planted the Gunlong Spear into the mountain ridge, laughing as he stretched out his arms to embrace the myriad mountains and valleys.

"From this moment forward, Xiongshan will be renamed Zangtian Pass. This will be the starting point for Crown Prince Xuanxiao to conquer the Bitter Realm and establish the eternal foundation of the Forest Prison."
