Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Zangtian Pass! Zangtian Pass! Zangtian Pass!"

Si Lingdi shouted with fervor.

Jiu Shenlian muttered to himself, "A madman!"

"Then let the madman lead you into the forest prison, my Crown Princess."

Xuanxiao picked up the Dove God Chain and, like the wind, returned to the deep pit at the summit of Yongxu, where he jumped down.

Extreme cold filled the abyss, and the deeper one went, the more difficult it became. Even when Jiu Shenlian pushed his skills to their peak, he still felt his blood slowly congealing in his veins.

Another stream of demonic energy entered his body.

Xuanxiao's voice rang in my ears: "This is the energy of the Black Moon of the Forest Prison. You people of the Bitter Realm cannot withstand it. Only the demonic body of the Forest Prison can pass through this underground abyss."

"Who was the person who jumped into the abyss to clear a path for you?"

"It should be the Emperor's alternate body, but unfortunately he has already merged into the Black Moon."

"Substitute body?"

"I know you have many questions, but you can ask them when we get to my castle. But remember, I only like intelligent women, and with the intelligence you're displaying now, I'm quite worried about my heir."

"Shut up! A temporary setback doesn't mean the end for Revelation Online. It is in despair that we can see the value of hope!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'll make you accept reality soon enough."

Three days later.

After enduring several cold winters, I arrived at Xiongshan Mountain and ventured deep into its towering cliffs to search for Mu Zhengrong.

"Strange, could it be that Dongjun is not at Xiongshan? What should we do then?"

They searched everywhere to no avail, and instead fell into strange formations several times. If they had not been fellow Daoists, Jiduhan would have been injured long ago.

"Sigh, let's leave."

Suddenly, a dignified Taoist priest wearing a Taoist crown and a red and black Taoist robe walked over.

"Morality is like a shady tree, heaven and earth are like a blanket, one does not go against one's own nature, and one is like a noble person in the mountains and forests."

"Hmm? You are Xiong Dongyu Mu Zhengrong?"

"What brings you to Xiong Mountain, fellow Daoist?"

With a sob in her voice, she said, "Something has happened to Xiangjun!"

Mu Zhengrong's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?"

"Xiangjun was killed by Yinchuan Butterfly Lord, details are as follows..."

After hearing the whole story, Mu Zhengrong clenched his fists: "Even if my brother has made mistakes, he doesn't deserve to die. Tiandu, Butterfly Lord, you've gone too far!"

"The fellow disciples have already taken care of Huangcui Dongfeng and made arrangements for Xiangjun's funeral. They have also spread the bad news throughout the Daoist sect and are determined to seek justice for Xiangjun."

"Thank you, I will now head to Huangcui Dongfeng."

After the great battle, Huangcui Dongfeng was barely able to set up a mourning hall, and at this moment, everything was white.

Over the years, Mu Zhengrong had been searching for extraordinary boxing manuals in the world of boxing for his close friend Lingxi Zhixia. He had not seen his younger brother for sixty years, but who would have thought that when they met again, they would be separated by death.

In front of the mourning hall, a brazier burned, and ashes drifted in the air.

A Taoist priest in purple robes was sitting cross-legged playing the zither, the melodious music conveying endless sorrow.

Upon seeing Mu Zhengrong, the Taoist stopped playing his zither: "Lord Dong, please accept my condolences."

"Cang, are you waiting for me?"

The handsome Taoist was none other than Cang, the leader of the Six Strings, who had come at the invitation of Dao Xuan and others, including Ji Du Han.

He stood up and slowly said, "Several hundred years ago, you and I met once in the Daoist scriptures of the two realms. Moreover, we are both members of the Daoist sect, so it is only right that we do not shirk our responsibilities."

"Save your words; I understand your intentions perfectly well."

“Since Dongjun has such a strong foundation, Rong Cang speaks frankly. Ni Hai Chong Fan’s sins are grave. Now that the Black Sea Forest Prison has reopened, can we discuss your brother’s death after eliminating the evil forces?”

Mu Zhengrong replied forcefully, "Eliminating evil is my duty. If I can persuade the Daozhen, Daoxuan, and Daoling factions to join me in this great undertaking, would the String Master be willing to join me in Tiandu? I want Yinchuan Butterfly Lord to fight me!"

"In that case, the external defense will be arranged by Dongjun. I will go to Tiandu immediately to request permission."

"I will wait quietly before the spirit tablet of Xiangjun for news from the end."

Cang left the bamboo grove in the east wind, pondered for a moment, and decided to first go to the meditation hall.

Besides the Pure Lapis Lazuli and the One-Page Book, the serene Meditation Heaven also had another visitor, the Weary Harvest Heaven.

Upon seeing Cang enter, the Bodhisattva swept his whisk, which transformed into a straw cushion.

"Bodhisattva, it's been a long time."

"Cang, the demonic calamity is escalating and has even alarmed you."

"Heaven and earth are in turmoil, demonic energy and evil spirits sweep across the vast sky, and even Cang Yi is helpless. What is the situation in Brahma?"

Yi Ye Shu sat peacefully on the meditation couch, his hands and feet having regrown. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said, "I was seriously injured and need a period of rest. Although Ni Hai Chong Fan has been destroyed, Hei Hai Sen Yu has reappeared. The reappearance of Xian Shou is truly a blessing for all living beings."

Cang sighed: "The situation in the Daoist sect may change."

"Oh?"

Cang then shared Mu Zhengrong's thoughts.

Juan Shoutian exclaimed urgently, "Dongjun's actions are inappropriate!"

Only Juan Shoutian knew the details of the great battle at the summit of Yongxu. He came to Dingchantian to discuss with Yiyeshu the countermeasures after Tiandu withdrew.

"Xiangjun aided and abetted the wicked, abducting the daughter of Yinchuan Butterfly Lord. Details are as follows... The Daoist sect cannot disregard the greater good for this personal vendetta!"

Cang Yan knew this, but as a Daoist, he couldn't interfere with the Daoist sects of the Bitter Realm. If Mu Zhengrong really organized the Daoist sects, they would be the main force against the Forest Prison if used for righteous purposes, but if used for personal vendettas, they would both suffer heavy losses with Tiandu.

Both of them looked at a page of the book.

"Brahma is not a member of the Daoist sect and has no good plan. However, Brahma believes that the reputation of Xian Shou and Bei Fangxiu in the Daoist sect far surpasses that of Mu Zhengrong. Only in turbulent times can true heroes emerge, and the Daoist sect is relying on the two of you."

"Cang understands."

"We must do our utmost to overcome our fatigue."

At this time, after a series of emergency deployments, Yu Cixin and Gongsun Yue took their two troublesome children to the Slaughter Island in exchange for Asura and Mr. Jidao.

At the same time, the Heavenly One, the Earthly One, the Night God, Sirius, and Yama's Lock also entered the realm of suffering.

Both the Celestials and the Earthly Beings were setting foot on the land of the Bitter Realm for the first time. However, they did not settle in the Celestial Capital, but instead used the long-abandoned ruins of the Lost Traces as the temporary base of the Kingdom of Death.

This was arranged by Ji Xiashang. Most people in Tiandu have their own private property. Even someone as poor as Sirius has a place to live like Lone Star Cliff. They are not lacking in housing, but Yizong is the most suitable place.

Yizong covers an area of ​​1,000 acres and not only has mountains and water, but also seven or eight separate courtyards, and all kinds of living facilities are available.

After three days of maintenance, Yizong was restored to its former appearance.

With its carved eaves and embroidered railings, soaring towers, deep courtyards, and flowing streams, the building exudes grandeur and mystery, solemnity and elegance, drawing endless praise from visitors.

Ji Xiashang then reunited with his fellow disciples who had been living in seclusion: Yan Wushu, Lu Chengyan, Ziling'er, Yan Pianpian, and Xiao Se, and took on the daily care of the people of the Dead Kingdom.

As the day's hustle and bustle receded and the tranquility of the spring night arrived, amidst the moonlight and the fragrance of flowers, the Celestial One, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:

"The realm of suffering is truly beautiful!"

Chapter 263 The Allies of the Shepherd, the Justice of the Gods

The last time Pan lost was to his ally.

Centuries of lying in a coffin had made him distrustful of everyone, but a few short months in Tiandu changed his mind—

Allies are essential, but choosing the right allies is a skill.

For thousands of years, the god of shepherds has lived among the animals of the heavens. The animals are innocent and kind, which has made the god of shepherds forget the cunning and cruelty of humankind.

Fortunately, Luo Hou awakened him, allowing him to meet extraordinary figures like Yi Ye Shu and Di Ru Lai, as well as ancient demon gods like Bo Xun and evil organizations like Ni Hai Chong Fan.

Now that the Black Sea Forest Prison has been opened, it awaits only the Black Moon's illumination before the Heavenly Frontier can be unsealed.

After careful observation, Pan God chose the Dead Kingdom Team as his ally.

So the god of shepherds sat down before the gods, the earth gods, the asuras, and the supreme beings.

"The Black Moon contains extremely terrifying energy. Legend has it that it was a spark that a demon god stole from the sun when he fell and brought it deep into the earth."

Mr. Jidao curled his lips: "That's nonsense. I have never heard of the sun losing its fire in the Upper Heaven Realm, and for thousands of years, none of us have felt any change in the sun's heat."

Ashura wore a mask, so the changes in his face were not visible.

Even with his eyes closed, the heavenly being couldn't see the changes on his face.

However, the look of horror on the face of the Earthling was keenly noticed by the god of shepherd.

The Earth God asked impatiently, "How dare the Shepherd God assert that the Black Moon of the Forest Prison is the stolen spark of the sun?"

"Because the three yangs in the sky can indeed make life in the world eternal, humans have superpowers, demons gain longevity, and even insects can evolve into innate beings."

"If the Black Moon truly is the lost spark of the sun..."

The Heavenly One interrupted the Earthly One: "Justice is the only stance of the Kingdom of the Dead! We have been invited by Rahu to help the Bitter Realm resist foreign enemies. No matter how powerful they are, we will repel the invaders and restore peace and tranquility to the people of the Bitter Realm."

"As expected of the Heavenly One, you are truly insightful and understanding. What are the opinions of the others?"

Mr. Jidao raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Could those righteous words just now really have come from the Heavenly One?

Ashura said calmly, "Give me the list of those you want to kill."

The Earth God spoke with sincerity: "The Shepherd God can certainly trust the justice of the Celestials and the loyalty of the Asuras. However, with three suns in the sky, where is the other sun?"

The Shepherd God's heart skipped a beat: "The third sun is in our clan's celestial border, but the ancient sun itself does not possess energy. Only when the three suns are in the sky at the same time can the extreme energy conflict between the sun and the black moon be neutralized."

The celestial being seemed to ponder: "Ancient Yao?"

Those who see the heavens and those who see the earth focus on energy, and the Shepherd God adds another blow: "The two insect kings created by the three suns in the heavens in the past possess unparalleled abilities. If we were to use them to summon all the insects of the Bitter Realm..."

What would happen then?

"By absorbing the energy of all insects, a true god can be created."

Master Jidao covered his face and laughed loudly: "A person is a person, and an insect is an insect. How could a person absorb the energy of an insect? That's hilarious."

Not long after, when Mr. Jidao saw the Myriad Demon Furnace that could convert energy with his own eyes, he realized that among the group of people that day, he, who seemed to be the smartest, was actually the most foolish.
