Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Faun!"

Lin Ruomei and Shao Hao simultaneously lunged at Mu Shen.

"Pan, you are still as foolish as before, so I will condemn you to eternal torment."

Wang Yi and Hou Kui were using their inner energy to prepare to join forces and kill the Shepherd God when a huge furnace appeared on the battlefield.

Then, a devastating demonic energy burst forth from the furnace, sucking Wang Hu and Hou Kui in.

The two insects instantly reversed their attack, unleashing a devastating blow towards the Myriad Demon Furnace.

Boom!

Despite being struck, the Myriad Demon Furnace showed no sign of distress. Instead, it stretched out its four limbs at the bottom of the furnace and slowly crawled toward the Heavenly Dragon like a spider.

"what!"

"What's going on?"

"Ah, King Kong, save me!"

"Hou Kui! Hou Kui!"

Amidst their piercing screams, the two insects were pulled closer and closer to the Myriad Demon Furnace. Moments later, a strange, eerie blue flame burst forth from the cauldron, engulfing the two insects' bodies.

Besides the Heavenly Jade, the Myriad Demon Furnace also spared the insect bodies on the ground, using strange fire like ropes to pull these insect bodies back one by one.

At the same time, Shao Hao released the barrier, and ten thousand insects roared and rushed into the cauldron.

The eerie blue flames suddenly surged, their unparalleled evil power soaring straight to the heavens, staining the vast night sky with a ghostly aura, extinguishing the stars and moon, leaving only a bleak and demonic color between heaven and earth.

Just as the Shepherd God was secretly alarmed, this rare and extraordinary power slowly flowed out from the Myriad Demon Furnace, constantly impacting the seal on the Heavenly Being's forehead.

"Such pure energy!"

"I never imagined that the Myriad Demon Furnace could transform the absorbed demonic power and evil energy into pure energy."

Both Pan and Mr. Yakuza were amazed.

The Celestial One closed his eyes and remained silent, his body trembling slightly as he struggled to endure the excruciating pain caused by the impact on the seal.

This seal is connected to his soul. Every impact is a tearing apart of his soul. If he cannot withstand it, not only will he be unable to break the seal, but his soul will also suffer a backlash.

Silence reigned before the Wall of Immortality.

After an unknown amount of time, the Celestial Being slowly exhaled a breath of white breath: "It's coming soon. The era belonging to the gods is about to arrive."

(Wishing all fellow cultivators a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Chapter 271 Rice, Salt, Tea, Horses, Wine; Every Matter a Thousand Jade Fragments

Black Sea Forest Prison, Xuanxiao Castle, its secluded corridors are covered with strange totems.

The Stormy Heart Slave, summoned by the spirit, could not suppress the surging emotions in his heart and gradually became frenzied.

"Hahahaha, O Great God, burn my soul with Your heat, my heart slave has been waiting for you for so long."

A ball of nightmare fire silently escaped from the totem and enveloped Stormheart Slave, but he was completely oblivious in his madness.

"Danger!"

Xuan Xiao swiftly unleashed a palm strike, shattering the ball of nightmare fire.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu Xinnu turned around and roared: "Who gave you the right to interrupt my conversation with the Great God of Zha!"

"You almost went mad with qi and died from being burned by fire."

“My God Zoroastrianism will not devour me; you are mistaken.”

Xuanxiao was not angered by his disrespectful attitude, and still advised, "There's a trick to interpreting the totems here. Look carefully, and drink!"

Boom.

The totem emitted boundless red light and heat, shooting into the center of Baoyu Xinnu's forehead in a straight line.

Xuanxiao chanted the incantation: "Himadiva, Lubuyetianwa, listen carefully... comprehend the power of this totem well. I expect you to set up a brand new Senluo Prison Array to serve me."

"what!"

Amidst the raging flames, Bao Yuxinnu sensed the castle before her gradually transforming into a world ablaze with karmic fire.

Xuanxiao also sensed a powerful and unfamiliar force the moment when Nightmare Fire and Stormy Heart Slave's minds connected—a demonic power carrying pure death energy.

Xuanxiao guessed that this power gave Baoyu Xinnu an immortal body.

He had no intention of investigating too much. As long as Stormheart Slave was at his disposal, the stronger and more evil that power was, the more he liked it.

The day after the knife review meeting ended.

The April sun shines on the lush green leaves, the flowers and grasses are fragrant, and even the wild rabbits in their burrows come out to steal the new bamboo shoots after the rain.

Everything is vibrant and full of life, yet time itself is dejected and listless.

Qi Luosheng and Xiao Mitao stayed by his side.

"Over the years, you've sighed six hundred times."

"Ugh."

Are you afraid the city lord will blame you for losing the match?

"Ugh, so annoying!"

"Failure is precisely the direction for us to improve. I believe that in time, you will definitely be able to surpass the Mad Blade of Chaos."

"He's going to nag me again, and I don't want to go back to Time City."

"Ha, the deeper the love, the harsher the criticism."

"what?"

"I'll accompany you to clear your mind."

Suddenly, a sudden downpour began, drenching the two people and their dog.

Before I could avoid it, a familiar yet loathsome voice rang out in the blood-stained rain:

"Jiuqiansheng, why can't we ever be separated? I've already decided to put you behind me, so why do you have to appear in front of me again? It's so annoying! What's even more annoying is that you're with him again!"

Upon seeing Bao Yuxinnu, Zui Guangyin's already frustrated mood worsened, and he said, "Then let's duel!"

The Stormheart Slave, who had just advanced from the Black Sea Forest Prison, sneered, "Most Time, I'll use you to sacrifice my latest Senluo Prison Formation, ha!"

A sickle was brandished, a bone knife slashed, and a folding fan transformed into two blades. The three, entangled in fate, immediately fell into darkness.

Black mist churned before their eyes, and the sounds of evil spirits filled their ears. The hellish array, tempered by nightmare fire, plunged Zui Guangyin and Qi Luosheng into immediate danger.

"It's that dizzy feeling again."

Be extremely careful!

Feeling the same discomfort, Qi Luosheng calmly met the challenge. As she swung her twin swords, strange currents emanated from her opponent's scythe, creating tremendous resistance.

In contrast, the torrential rain thrived, raging fiercely.

Affected by the formation, Qi Luosheng quickly became overwhelmed.

"hateful!"

Zui Guangyin charged forward with his sword. The two already had a tacit understanding, and with each gaining something from this sword duel, their combined attack unleashed several times their power, temporarily suppressing the negative effects in the formation.

"Come with me to hell!"

The Stormy Heart Slave changed formation again, opening up a Demonic Heart Sea. Instantly, a storm raged, and the black sea's eerie power shot into the formation, forming a terrifying alternate space.

Their powers were suppressed again, especially their souls, which were shaken violently and became unstable.

"Not good!"

"Hahahaha, this is my home turf, come on, die!"

Just then, a strange sound wave emanated, and space instantly froze.

A person walked slowly towards the wind:

"Heaven is unworthy, yet jade dust remains; Earth is unworthy, yet jade dust remains; rice, salt, tea, horses, wine—everything is a thousand pieces of jade dust."

Only after this person passed by could Bao Yu, filled with rage, finally move. Looking at the battlefield again, Zui Guangyin and Qi Luosheng were nowhere to be seen.

Only specks of gold and jade remained on the ground.

A hundred miles away, the three landed by a desolate roadside.

Qi Luosheng bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name?"

"We meet by chance, why bother knowing each other's names?"

"With names and surnames, to mark the future."

The visitor said calmly, "Then let's do it another day."

Seeing him turn to leave, Qi Luosheng asked again, "Wait a minute. Since you were able to rescue us from the Black Sea Forest Array, are you perhaps also a member of the Black Sea Forest?"

Instead of answering, the visitor asked, "Did the people from Blacksea Prison save you and make you feel uncomfortable?"

Zui Guangyin replied, "In our eyes, Black Sea Prison is an evil and bloody place, and it's hard to believe that any good people would come out of it."

"Can you guarantee that everyone in the Bitter Realm is a good person? If my information is correct, that Stormheart Slave is an evil person from the Bitter Realm."

Qi Luosheng understood and stopped worrying about the newcomer's identity. He asked Bao Yuxinnu, "Why has Bao Yuxinnu's formation technique suddenly improved?"

"It's alright to tell you. Bao Yuxinnu was introduced by Jiu Shenlian and was able to join the ranks of Crown Prince Xuanxiao. His array formations are evil because they come from the Xuan Yin Qi of the Black Sea Forest Prison, which is incomparable to the previous ones."

"Crown Prince Xuanxiao? And who is this person?"

"The eighteenth prince, who is most favored by the King of Hell, is one of the four crown princes who will succeed to the throne of the Black Sea Forest Prison. Alright, you will have to explore the secrets of the Black Sea Forest Prison yourselves. All I can tell you is that the Forest Prison is unfathomable, and you will have to pray for your own good fortune in this bitter place."

After saying this, the person truly vanished into a wisp of smoke.

After inexplicably engaging in a fierce battle with the Stormy Heart Slave and being reminded by a mysterious figure, Zui Guangyin's mood unexpectedly brightened.

"Let's go back to Time City."

"Aren't you afraid of the city lord's wrath?"

"Cut~"
