Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Upon seeing the black moon, the man revealed a thoughtful expression: "So the energy that disappeared from the Bitter Realm flowed here!"

The King of Hell had matured considerably, and he asked warily, "Who are you?"

"I am a scientist, and also a great wizard."

"Ok?"

The man said excitedly, "I'm developing an experiment that's perfect for you right now."

"What experiment?"

"I can separate your brain, each brain being independent yet identical, and possessing equal functions and abilities, essentially turning one person into three."

"Are you crazy to experiment with your brain?"

The man persistently tried to persuade him: "Besides that, your original brain can also cast hypnotic spells to trap your enemies in your mind and steal their power."

Hypnotic witchcraft, stealing power—Yama instantly remembered his green-haired friend.

What if the experiment fails?

The man shrugged: "You'll become an idiot."

"Then I shall decline your offer."

"No, you will accept it. With your current strength, you will soon die of old age. What's the difference between a dead person and an idiot?"

His words struck at the heart of Yama's heart. During this journey through the realm of suffering, Yama learned what the innate nature of a cultivator was, and that he himself had not yet reached the innate state, yet his body already showed signs of aging.

There is indeed no difference between a dead person and an idiot.

"I'm taking the bet."

"The experiment will take half a day, please prepare a quiet place."

Yama led him to the Deep Marrow Ancient River.

Half a month later, the man left satisfied.

"The Thousand-Faced True Lord, who spreads his power throughout the six realms, scorns the myths of heaven and earth, and boasts of being the beginning of darkness."

The King of Hell's brain is divided into three parts: the primary brain, the secondary brain, and the normal brain.

After that, Yama increased his strength three times faster until the day he activated the Black Moon arrived.

Following the path left by the God of Destruction, Yama pushed the Black Moon into the realm of suffering, where it hung high in the sky above Xiaoshan.

In an instant, the land was frozen solid for thousands of miles, turning into glaciers and the people into icicles.

Before long, the Shepherd God of the Heavenly Frontier released Gu Yao, fulfilling the first blessing promised by the gods:

The three yangs live forever under the same sky.

(Additional setting: The Path of Annihilation is a spindle-shaped planet. The Celestials and deities with status live in the upper six heavens, while the God-King lives in the even higher realm of Light.)

The First Martial God stole a spark of the sun's fire, fell into the Abandoned Heaven Emperor, crossed the planet of Bitter Realm, and established the Dark Palace at its lower end.

As he traversed the realm of suffering, he surveyed all the demons, monsters, and other races, leaving behind numerous contingency plans. He used these dark forces to provide him with energy, which enabled him to grow increasingly powerful.

Therefore, when he later descended to the Dao Realm, the Dao Realm could not withstand it and collapsed.

Furthermore, the demons, monsters, and other races that created the Black Sea Hell and other hellish realms predate the creation of the Otherworld.

Chapter 288 Gods Want to Destroy the World, Humans Must Save Themselves

"Draw your sword before I serve you."

Ruoye Zhi Qiu was very confident in his swordsmanship. He was the best swordsman in the Ruoye family. Although Luo Hou gave him a strong sense of pressure, he still wanted to test his opponent's strength.

"I'll learn from you."

Rahu calmly summoned Ketu, a short-handled, serrated weapon with a thick back and broad blade. Its design was devoid of any aesthetic appeal, exuding only a chilling aura.

"The Martial Lord has drawn his sword!"

"Come and see the Martial Lord draw his sword!"

The people of Tiandu swarmed around him. Apart from Shaohao, most of them rarely saw Wujun draw his sword. The recent battles against Bo Xun and the breaking of the Tu Luo Formation were both carried out by Wujun alone.

Qian Yuxie also stood aside and watched.

Unlike Ruoye Zhi Qiu, Qian Yuxie had spent some time studying the information about Luo Hou and Tian Du, and overturned the conclusion that Luo Hou was possessed by divine thoughts.

With Ruoye Zhi Qiu's strength, Luo Hou wouldn't even need to draw his sword; he could defeat her with just his fists and palms.

Using a knife is the Lord of Tiandu's way of showing respect to Ruoye Zhi Qiu.

Refusing to use the knife would be an insult to Wakaba.

Qian Yuxie sighed inwardly, for a strong person to act in such a way, respecting the dignity of others, showed that he had a broad mind and a deep mind.

"Flying Leaf Soars to the Sky - Blade Slayer Thousand Heads!"

If Ye Zhi Qiu's blade is shaped like a willow leaf, the blade energy he unleashes in the air is also like a willow leaf, with thousands of blades flying wildly and weaving into a continuous net of blades.

Ketu slashed out without any fancy moves, and all the willow leaves fell onto the surface of Ketu's blade.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The clash of swords and spears resounded, and sparks flew endlessly.

Qian Yuxie was taken aback. His martial arts skills were not very strong, but his insight was first-rate.

If Ye Zhi Qiu's sword energy rushed in all directions, even circling behind Luo Hou, Luo Hou did not move an inch, and absorbed all the sword energy into Ji Du.

Although the two appeared to be fighting fiercely, Luo Hou was actually controlling the direction of Ruoye's sword energy.

What a profound foundation this is.

Huang Quan and the others also saw through the trick, and couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed in this new mechanic.

However, those who had retreated to the Acquired Realm, like Ji Wuxia, and those who were still in the middle of their martial arts journey, were all dazzled by what they saw.

Given that this person could potentially become their leader, the brothers Hu Shuo Ba Dao and Huo Mao San Zhang cheered loudly.

The cheers spurred Ruoye Zhi Qiu to step down from the stage. He jumped out of the battle circle, sheathed his sword, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"My swordsmanship is inferior to that of the Martial Lord."

"Everyone has their own expertise; in mechanical casting, I am far inferior to you."

"Is this the end of the fight?"

Lin Ruomei said disappointedly.

Upon hearing the clear and beautiful voice, Ruo Ye Zhi Qiu looked at Lin Ruo Mei, a hint of amazement flashing across her face.

Luo Hou calmly instructed, "Ruo Mei, go and invite Shao Hao to my study to discuss matters with the Prime Minister and Mr. Ruo Ye."

"Yes."

During this time, Shao Hao was in the vast expanse of Tianbo, learning formations from the head of the string.

Because Mu Zhengrong ambushed Butterfly Lord, Cang, who acted as the guarantor, was in a very awkward position.

Cultivators' hearts are untainted by worldly dust. Luo Hou sent Shao Hao to learn, partly to improve his son's magical abilities, and partly to eliminate this slight flaw in Xian Shou's Dao heart.

Having just returned last night, Shao Hao was still researching how to combine it with his Death Kingdom magic. Upon hearing that his adoptive father had invited him, Shao Hao hurriedly went to Luo Hou's study.

After all the parties had exchanged greetings,

Qian Yuxie looked at the young man in astonishment: "You are the God of the Dead Kingdom who rules over the Heavenly Ones, Earthly Ones, and Asuras?"

"I dare not, they are also my elders."

"I understand now. Even though Wu Jun, Su Huanzhen, Yi Ye Shu and others did not show up, Xuan Xiao still could not defeat Ku Jing."

Ruo Ye Zhi Qiu asked anxiously, "The Death Kingdom Legion is so powerful, why don't they just storm into the Black Sea Forest Prison?"

"Our target is Yama, but Yama is currently hiding behind the scenes."

Qian Yuxie pondered, "To force out Yama... please give me a few more days. Once I have ascertained his whereabouts, Zhi Qiu and the God of Death will work together to break Yama's seal."

"Then it's decided."

Qian Yuxie left behind the Ditian Shrine and took his leave.

Luo Hou and Ruo Ye Zhi Qiu discussed the sand table in detail until night fell, when a rough outline of the Tiandu Mechanical City appeared on the sand table.

"Wu Jun's suggestion filled in the gaps in Zhi Qiu's thinking, and I believe this is a mechanism that will break through the history of the Ruoye family."

"Thank you, sir. I will have all the necessary materials prepared."

"Please call me Zhi Qiu, Wu Jun. Now that I have joined Tian Du, I am a member of Tian Du."

"Very well, I'll take care of the Wakaba family's feud."

Ruo Yezhi took her leave.

Luo Hou then recalculated the raw material costs and Tian Du's existing assets.

It's time to head to the Golden Kingdom and open up maritime trade.

Tiandu currently doesn't have many products. The largest inventory consists of weapons forged in the foundry over the years, as well as pills and poisons produced by Cui Luohan and Gu Duming.

What else can be mass-produced in a short time?

Luo Hou's eyes suddenly lit up—a talisman!

With the presence of pure and illusory spirits and the spirit's own spirit, one can mass-produce various talismans for exorcising ghosts, warding off evil, and bringing good fortune. Such things should have a market.

Luo Hou wrote something in his notebook:

Maritime trade: weapons, elixirs, and talismans.

Next, he took the shrine to the temple and headed towards the apartment behind the main hall.

The vast sky seemed somewhat unsettled.

The sudden arrival of Qian Yuxie and Ruoye Zhi Qiu in Tiandu must be part of a conspiracy targeting the Black Sea Forest Prison.

But fearing exposure, he refrained from going out to observe.

dong dong dong.

There's a knock on the door.
