Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

In the final battle, two powerful figures emerged from the Bitter Realm: one named Xuanyuan, the leader of the human race, and the other named Chiyou, the leader of the witch race.

The two powerful beings nearly wiped out the other races in the Bitter Realm, and then a long-lasting war between humans and witches ensued between them.

At this time, the gods of the Three Realms discovered a problem: karma, vows, and divine power were all decreasing, even to the point of non-existence.

After a thorough investigation, the gods received a shocking answer—

The Bitter Realm absorbed all the energy that was originally offered to the gods!

The medium for absorption was Chi You, the leader of the witch tribe. Through his witchcraft, he transferred the energy that he had monopolized by slaughtering all races to the Bitter Realm itself.

This discovery not only shocked Sanque, but also terrified him. If the Bitter Realm absorbed enough energy, it would surely turn around and control the universe and them.

After the gods conspired, the power of the Palace of Light was lent to Chi You's rival, Xuanyuan, who annihilated Chi You and the Wu tribe in one fell swoop, cutting off the source of the Bitter Realm.

After that, the three palaces continued to peacefully enjoy the offerings of the realm of suffering.

Many years have passed. The Bitter Realm bypassed the eyes and ears of the gods and used the Evil Heavenly Martial Arts, which had been smuggled from another realm, to frantically slaughter the humans of the Western Martial World, especially by sacrificing infants' blood to gain energy once again.

This matter was first noticed by the Dark Palace. Inspired by the battle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou, the Demon Lord immediately selected a talented young swordsman from the Western Martial World and bestowed upon him the strongest demonic essence.

As expected, this person lived up to expectations and ultimately killed Xie Tianyuwu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingshan understood: "This person is Luo Hou."

"Of course."

"Since he possessed the strongest demonic energy, why did Luo Hou die later?"

Shen Si sighed: "Twenty years later, Xie Tianyu used the power of the curse to incite the people of the Western Martial World to rebel, and then used powerful people to murder Luo Hou."

"The power of a curse? Could it be!"

"That's right. My lord speculates that the curse power of Xie Tian Yu Wu originated from Chi You in the past. The Blood Cloud Pillar created by 100,000 people in the Western Martial World was a witchcraft used to backfire on Luo Hou."

"Will this curse power follow Rahu forever?"

"To avoid this terrible witchcraft, our lord did not resurrect Rahu until a thousand years later, but he was killed again."

"Luo Hou has been resurrected yet again."

"This resurrection, our Lord must have used the power of the Gate of Light and the Gate of Destiny. I do not know what methods were used."

Mu Lingshan's heart surged with emotion as he listened, and he murmured, "So that's how it is, no wonder..."

"What's the wonder?"

"It's nothing, thank you for your story, it cleared up a lot of my confusion."

"Ok?"

Shen Si sensed something was wrong and instantly realized: "You're not Mu Ling Shan, you're Yu Puti!"

"Ha, you've found out. The Buddha never told me about Rahu. I didn't expect the Demon Lord to trust you so much that he would reveal such a secret so easily."

"You old bald jade!"

"Sitting on the clouds, I observe the world's affairs; a Bodhi leaf falls, its sound entering my ears. The night rain is heavy on the misty mountaintop, but the dawn sky is blue behind the mountain."

As the poem faded into the distance, Mu Lingshan rubbed his eyes, feeling extremely tired.

"What happened? I actually fell asleep."

Shen Si roared angrily, "Mu Ling Shan, you really are someone who'll sleep with anyone!"

The next day.

Despite his unhealed injuries, Mu Lingshan bid farewell to Luo Hou and left Tiandu.

The eternal sky seemed reluctant to part with him, escorting him all the way to the end of the ten-mile-long road.

At the same time, Xuanxiao sent a stunningly beautiful woman from the Bitter Realm to his second brother Xuanqiu's residence.

"My name is Chunxiang, and I come from the Red Sleeve Pavilion in the Bitter Realm."

Chunxiang possessed an exceptionally broad chest and an extremely slender waist. Coupled with her affectionate eyes and frequent flirtatious glances, Xuanqiu was instantly captivated.

“Eighteenth brother, I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful. Your brother will gladly accept this.”

Xuanxiao laughed and said, "I remember that my second brother has a particular fondness for beautiful women. The Bitter Realm has countless beauties. Chunxiang was just someone I met briefly. Once you're done with this busy period, I'll go and find another one for you."

"What's there to be busy about? Xuanxiao, go find a few more beauties for your brother to play with right now."

"But I don't know which one you prefer, Second Brother. Why don't you come with me to the Bitter Realm and choose for yourself?"

"Hahahaha, good! I've wanted to go to this wonderful world of the Bitter Realm for a long time, but I'll wait until tomorrow. Tonight, I'm going to enjoy myself with Chunxiang."

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, Your Highness. Please, Second Prince."

"Hurry up and go."

Upon returning to the Xuanxiao Palace, Shen Zaizai immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the cause of the disaster has been discovered by Prince Xuanque using the Blood Witch Darkness Technique. It is that the Black Moon has undergone a change. The Black Moon has inexplicably lost some kind of energy and has become very unstable."

"Oh? Is there a solution?"

"The princes' opinion is to find the five crystal spirits and combine their power to balance the earth's energy in the Black Sea Forest Prison once again."

“The Five Great Crystal Spirits? But since Father Emperor went into seclusion, the Five Great Crystal Spirits have not reappeared, and even their current residence is unknown.”

Shen Zai Zai replied, "The princes are responsible for finding the four crystal spirits of metal, wood, fire, and earth. I heard that the crystal spirit, the drifting bird boy, is in the Bitter Realm, so the master will be the one to find the crystal spirit."

Xuanxiao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"God is here, devise a plan for me on how to kill Xuanqiu, and I will make his primordial spirit beast perish at the same time."

"This? If our lord goes to war against the prince, it will cause chaos in the Forest Prison. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for the sake of the Holy Voyagers?"

Xuanxiao laughed and said, "Xuanqiu is a force of Xuanmie. The one who wants me dead the most right now is Crown Prince Xuanmie. Since war is inevitable sooner or later, why not strike first and eliminate Xuanmie's claws and teeth?"

"God is obeying the command."

At this moment, by the lake at the root of desolation, a short-haired boy is playing a clear, resonant stringed instrument.

The most glorious time and the weary day arrive together.

“Floating Bird, Old Dog has brought someone who can melt this statue. You promised me that you would give me some if I retrieved the Water Element.”

The boy carefully put away the water shell and said calmly, "An encounter without souls is merely a clash of matter; a sound without souls is merely a disorder of wavelengths; a body without a soul is just a waste of space."

"Hey, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"It's nothing, Taoist priest, you may begin."

Many years ago, a young boy who had wandered here found a woman practicing swordsmanship on the lake, and he stopped there.

After that, he admired the woman's graceful figure while playing his own water chestnut, and neither of them interfered with the other.

The peaceful life came to an abrupt end one day when the drifting bird boy, Mizumoto, and the woman were both frozen in ice, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not melt the ice sculpture.

Zui Guangyin, unwilling to stay in Time City, came to the Bitter Realm. Under the guidance of Tai Sui, he was told that he could use the Water Element of the Drifting Bird Boy to break the Senluo Prison Formation of the Rainstorm Heart Slave.

The boy who was adrift insisted that he break free of the ice first.

Therefore, Zui Guangyin invited Juan Shoutian: "Juan Shoutian, quickly use your Nine Yang Heart Technique to save people."

"Okay, please step aside."

Exhausted, he gathered his inner energy and circulated his true essence, and seven suns suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Seven Suns Ignite the Sea!"

A dazzling golden light burst forth, and the abundant Dao energy transformed into blazing flames, instantly melting the ice.

A bright and beautiful face was revealed from the melting ice crystals, and then a pair of beautiful eyes stared intently at Juan Shoutian.

"Did you save me? May I ask your name, sir?"

Juan Shoutian, relying on the Big Dipper for vision, could not make out the person's face. He listened to the voice and said, "It's a trivial matter, why ask the name?"

Chapter 278 Taking Down the Bitter Realm in One Month

The famous brothel, Hongxiuzhao, in the Bitter Realm has been booked out by the Second Prince of Senyu.

The courtesan Yu Qingxiang, accompanied by three or four other courtesans, served the distinguished guest.

Embraced on both sides, amidst surging waves of flesh, lost in a sea of ​​desire, Xuanqiu was so happy that he forgot what he was and where he was.

However, joy turned to sorrow. After drinking a bowl of jade liquor, Xuanqiu suddenly died.

The courtesans left, leaving only Yu Qingxiang to wait for the mastermind.

Xuanxiao led Shen Zaizai into the room: "You did a good job, so your sisters and this brothel are both saved."

Yu Qingxiang said coldly, "I hope the King of Senyu keeps his word and releases my good sister Chunxiang."

"I can't guarantee what will happen to the others in Senyu, but I can guarantee my own. There's only one last step left, so I'll take my leave now."

After Xuanxiao and Shen Zaizai left, Yu Qingxiang smiled sadly: "Chunxiang, may you be well. We'll meet again in the next life."

She raised the oil lamp, illuminating the red silk curtains, the green silk robes, and everything in the room that could be burned, including the corpse of the Second Prince of Senyu.

"Fire has broken out!"

"Help!

"The courtesan is still in her room!"

Xuanqiu's subordinates, Ke Gu Mingxin, who had been fighting in another room, heard the commotion and rushed over, only to see the courtesan laughing madly amidst the flames, and Xuanqiu, whose body had been mostly burned.

"Lord!"

The flames were so intense that it was too late to save the house, and it quickly collapsed...

Soon after, Xuanxiao arrived with his men, first interrogating the brothel madam, then digging out the two ashes and taking them back to the Forest Prison, where they were placed in the Tuoluo Maze.

Upon hearing the devastating news, all the princes of Senyu rushed over, including the eldest prince Xuanbin, who had not appeared in public for a long time.

Xuanxiao said with deep sorrow, "It was my brother's lack of foresight that led my second brother to the Bitter Realm."

Xuanmie carefully examined the two corpses, but unfortunately even the bones had turned to ash, so he couldn't find anything.

"A mere courtesan could actually kill my second brother, and even his primordial beast couldn't escape! Xuanxiao, how do you explain this?"

“Ninth Prince, although this woman is a courtesan, she sells her art but not her body. She resented Second Prince’s coercion, which is why she set fire to retaliate. I really don’t know why Second Prince’s spirit beast did not escape. Ninth Prince and Second Prince are on good terms, so Ninth Prince should know more about the spirit beast’s situation than I do.”

"Xuanxiao, how do you know it wasn't you who murdered your brother and seized the throne?"
