Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"This is the Sanrecheng Plain. We are heading straight for the Gara Palace. However, there are stone guards and Prince Senyu protecting the palace. We need to break through to enter the palace as soon as possible to avoid alerting them."

"understood."

The three of them hurriedly followed Qian Yuxie.

At this moment, the pair of sharp eyes in the Gara Palace opened, staring at Qian Yuxie and the three people behind him.

"Pan God, I never expected to see you in the Forest Prison! Very good, very good indeed! Hahahaha!"

He stroked Mu Tian Jiu Ge before the throne, his eyes filled with fervor, as if he had returned to those days of conquest.

"Mu Tian Jiu Ge, the sword spirit automatically protects its master. It is truly a fine sword. You have waited here for a thousand years and have finally found your master. Unfortunately, tonight is his death night."

Outside the Gara Palace, Qian Yuxie and the other three approached quietly.

The black leopard sitting on the steps to heaven suddenly raised his head, sensing an unfamiliar aura approaching.

"who!"

Xuanbao grabbed the Leopard Thunder Halberd and swept it swiftly into the unknown space.

The sound of something tearing through the air echoed across the Heavenly Steps. Startled by this, the stone guards outside the hall awoke and charged towards the direction of the newcomer, brandishing their fists and palms.

Just then, a strange light flashed, shadows appeared, and a crack suddenly appeared in the tightly closed Gara Palace, revealing a crystal mirror inside.

Before Xuanbao could even make out the figures, Shaohao had already led Mushen, Shanlong Yinxiu, and Qianyuxie into the hall.

Immediately, the entrance to the Gara Palace was sealed. When Xuanbao tried to break in again, several enormous forces rushed out, forcing him to retreat three zhang.

Inside the hall, the two arch-enemies from different eras finally stood together.

"Long time no see, King Yama."

"I didn't expect you to actually have the ability to get in, Pan."

Chapter 292 The King of Hell Has Too Many Little Tricks

Inside the Gara Palace, the sharp eyes beneath the Yama mask scrutinized the four people before him, finally settling on Shao Hao's face.

"This young man is extraordinary and is not from your Celestial Frontier."

"Hahaha, my half-son is better than your eighteen sons, Yama!"

Qian Yuxie looked at Shao Hao in surprise. It turned out that the God of the Dead Kingdom was the son-in-law of the God of Shepherd. This could explain the alliance between Tiandu, the Dead Kingdom and Tianjiang.

"Do you dare to face my Black Sea Forest Prison in a direct confrontation?"

"Why be stubborn when death is imminent? King Yama, you owe me a life, and it's time to pay it back."

"Isn't it too late to ask for it now?"

"It's never too late to take your life. Besides, I have one more regret to tell you: your ally, the Twin Heavenly Dragons, is dead."

"It seems that you, Pan God, are not what you used to be."

"But your current situation is far worse than it used to be."

"I am indeed inferior to you in winning by numbers."

"Why should I rely on others to defeat you? You all step back for now."

After the Shepherd God finished his taunts, the King of the Heavenly Frontier and the Lord of the Forest Prison finally entered into a duel, while Qian Yuxie and the other two retreated to the side to watch intently.

The long-awaited first strike, initiated by the Shepherd God, vented years of deep resentment.

With a single, powerful move, it reversed the flow of Yin and Yang, causing even ghosts and gods to tremble in fear, and scattering the sun and moon, plunging heaven and earth into chaos.

Their palms clashed, and Yama was forced to retreat in a sorry state.

"King Yama, it turns out your cultivation is not complete."

"To take the life of Yama, one must also possess the power to slay immortals. Your cultivation is not yet at its peak."

"Killing you is enough, drink!"

Yama originally thought that with the Eight Mirrors Formation, plus the power of the Stone Guards and the Black Leopard, he could easily kill his old rival.

Unexpectedly, the Shepherd God went straight into the Gara Palace, rendering the formation ineffective, and he found himself trapped and fighting like a cornered beast.

Knowing that death was inevitable, the King of Hell revealed his evil nature, and a ferocious beastman suddenly replaced his original body, raising its hands high and rushing towards him with all its might.

"Extremely Evil Imperial Waterfall!"

The Shepherd God did not let up; the Six-Element Seal Ring flashed with cold light, and a solemn immortal aura arose, forcefully breaking through the evil appearance and striking Yama, the King of Hell.

"The Wrath of the Immortal Slayer!"

"Uh~"

"You drove me to the brink of despair in the past, and today the god of shepherd will inflict the same pain upon you. This is the consequence of sin."

Pan approached and struck Yama with a single punch.

King Yama was exhausted and staggered, kneeling on the ground.

The god of shepherd struck again with his palm: "To be buried here is your final resting place!"

Seeing how easily Yama was defeated, Qian Yuxie had an idea and quickly stepped forward, only to see a dark light flash behind the throne.

"This is bad, there's a secret passage!"

"hateful!"

The Shepherd God shattered the evil body with a single palm strike, but the demonic energy burst forth and vanished in an instant.

"The power of the evil form has returned to Yama's true form, and we have actually helped him to merge his two bodies into one."

"Chase!"

Qian Yuxie urgently asked Shao Hao, "Can the Grim Reaper track down the King of Hell's whereabouts?"

"can."

Shao Hao used spatial magic to reveal the secret passage behind the throne. Mu Shen drew Mu Tian Jiu Ge, and the four of them jumped down to chase after Yama.

This is a secret passage that was dug long ago. Over time, some parts have collapsed, but fresh traces remain in the dust.

After chasing for half an hour, everyone's eyes lit up as they arrived on the ground.

The export was actually made from rhubarb and ground lily.

A white lantern swayed in the thick fog, white paper filled the air, and an eerie murderous intent emanated from it.

The faint sounds of battle cries could be heard in the distance.

"Go and save Father!"

"Father, your fifth son has come to save you!"

Having reclaimed his evil powers, Yama appeared before Shepherd God with an air of composure, wearing a crown and royal robes, exuding an imposing aura and showing no trace of his previous disheveled state.

"Pan God, you are still as foolish as ever. A mere avatar can deceive your senses. So let you become nourishment for the Great Yellow Earth Mother. And you, my dear Prime Minister."

Yama then said to Qian Yuxie, "On your deathbed, can you tell me what benefits you seek in the Black Sea Forest Hell?"

Qian Yuxie laughed and said, "Then let's wait until we're about to die to talk about it. Shepherd God, proceed with the original plan."

The King of Hell's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You're courting death! I'll grant your wish!"

The original plan was that if they encountered Senyu's obstruction, Shanlong Yinxiu would meet the enemy, Shaohao would deal with Guiyinshi, Mushen would fight against Yanwang, and Qianyuxie would take advantage of the chaos to enter the depths of Dahuang Dimu.

The shouts of battle in the distance were getting closer. If Prince Senyu and Yama were to reunite, the situation would be even more unfavorable for their side.

"Mountain Dragon, go."

The Shepherd God carefully put away the Six-Character Seal Ring, replaced it with the Nine Songs of Shepherd Heaven, and the red and white swords rushed out with a joyful cry, like a long-lost child returning to his father's side.

Suppressing his worries, Shanlong Yinxiu turned and rushed towards the direction from which the Senyu army had come.

Without delay, Shao Hao formed a hand seal: "Bright Fire Zhu Yi, Four Gods Worship Together, Goulong Soars to Earth, Overturn!"

The spell was activated, and several black earth dragons surged forth in an instant, then transformed into a thick layer of earth, covering the entire Great Yellow Earth Mother and enveloping the evil power of the Forest Prison.

With no more evil forces pulling him away, the Shepherd stepped closer to his opponent, wielding his twin swords to strike Yama and Ghostly Poetry.

"Fangtian flows across Xuanfeng!"

The sword energy was like a rainbow, its momentum capable of swallowing the heavens, radiating a terrifying sharpness within the holy light.

The ghost lamp in Guiyinshi's hand transformed into a sword, chilling and menacing, swiftly blocking Mu Tianjiuge's attack.

Sword energies clashed, holy energy dispelled evil, and in the blink of an eye, the ghostly chanting was pierced.

"what!"

In contrast, Yama calmly unleashed a palm strike, shattering the sword light.

Shao Hao seized the opportunity to expand his advantage: "Bright Fire Zhu Yi, Four Gods Worship Together, Flame Rain Flows, Fall!"

In an instant, a rain of fire descended upon the Great Yellow Earth Mother, using white paper as a catalyst to ignite the thick fog, causing the demonic energy to sizzle and burn, leaving the ghostly poets nowhere to escape.

Amidst the raging flames and sword energy, Qian Yuxie's figure flashed and rushed into the solitary peak of the Earth Mother, where she was astonished to see a colossal demon god statue standing atop the peak.

"This is?"

Just as Qian Yuxie was in shock, Gui Yinshi suddenly cried out in anguish, "Your Majesty, I must go first!"

"Your Poetry Recitation is permitted."

As Gui Yinshi screamed, his whole body trembled. The life force that Yama had extended at the moment of his death was now forced out by him.

The covenant's flames ignite, and the seal on the demon god is broken.

In an instant, the sea of ​​clouds trembled violently, the heavens and earth boiled, and the huge demon god statue in front of Qian Yuxie rose up from the mountains, carrying ancient demonic energy and unleashing primordial power. A terrifying force capable of splitting the heavens and earth crashed into the Shepherd God.

"Ok?"

The god of shepherds wielded two swords side by side, their overwhelming holy light meeting that of the demon god.

With a deafening roar, the demon statue was shattered by the sword energy, turning into thick black mist that flowed into Yama's body.

"Hahahaha, I thank you for restoring my power!"

With the Yuan Gong entering his body, Yama was fully revived, exuding an arrogant and powerful aura as he pointed proudly at Mu Shen and Shao Hao.

"I will make you both suffer the same fate, both old and new."
