Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

boom.

The two exchanged their ultimate moves, and the Shepherd God was no match for him, being thrown back several feet.

Having landed a decisive blow, Yama looked down at his nemesis and asked, "How was it?"

Pan gazed at the black moon in the sky and wiped the crimson from the corner of his mouth.

"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish, and good dreams are always the easiest to wake up from."

"Yan Shen Zhan - Sword Blood Demon Luo, kill!"

The overwhelming crimson, fused with the demonic energy of the forest and the icy chill of the black moon, instantly eclipsed the world, and yellow dust blinded the eyes.

"The Sacred Path of the World: The Wrath of Immortal Slayers!"

Mu Tianjiu unleashed his two swords simultaneously, using the sacred energy of the Six Treatises of Mu Xin to form two mighty swords that swept across thousands of miles.

If the wrath of the gods is to break through demonic barriers and vanquish evil spirits.

With the combined blessing of the Moro Heavenly Chapter and the Black Moon, Yama unleashed boundless power, and in the blink of an eye, the Shepherd God was injured once again.

Having gained the upper hand, Yama was even more ruthless in his attacks, pressing forward for several moves before the two faced off in their final showdown.

"Yama's Appearance - One Sword Across the Sky, Shepherd God, you go first to the Yellow Springs, drink!"

"In the netherworld, you walk alone, Xuanyuan wrathfully slays the immortal who will not be spared by heaven!"

The most breathtaking move was when Yama, wielding the power to destroy the world, launched a powerful attack, aiming straight for the vital points of his opponent.

Shepherd God didn't hesitate to exchange blows, and immediately the killing moves alternated. The two swords clashed, and the peak of Xiaoshan was cut off, causing the mountain to collapse with a roar.

"vomit!"

"puff!"

Two screams rang out, and as the dust settled, Mu Tian Jiu Ge and Mo Luo Tian Zhang were seen simultaneously piercing each other's bodies.

"Damn it!"

King Yama had not expected that the God of Shepherd would fight in a death-for-death manner. Realizing he had fallen into a trap, he raised his sword in a fit of rage and forcibly absorbed the power of the Black Moon. Instantly, Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, were thrown into chaos, and the world was plunged into darkness.

"Encountering the Demon in the Darkness - Returning to the Origin of the Black Moon!"

An irresistible surge of magical energy swept across the entire battlefield. Just as the three were being swallowed by darkness, two gleaming scythes suddenly slashed through the sky, pierced the darkness, and cut through everything before the King of Hell's eyes.

The stars shine brightly, and light returns.

"King Yama, your next opponent is me."

"Very good, Heaven and Earth Judgment - Yama's Decree!"

"Death God - Blood Seal!"

Under the dark moon and amidst the starlight, four ghosts—dazzled, rebellious, deceitful, and wicked—suddenly appeared beside Yama, launching a combined attack.

In an instant, the eerie darkness froze time and imprisoned heaven and earth, as a blood-red mark bearing the imprint of death struck the Yama's body.

"What is this? Ah!"

Bang bang bang bang bang.

After the ultimate move, a series of explosions rang out as the four split spirits of Yama and Death God simultaneously exploded, sending flesh and blood flying and blood raining down.

Shao Hao said coldly, "King Yama, your shameful life has come to an end."

"Don't even think about it, I'll be back!"

Even after being blasted into blood and gore, a wisp of spiritual consciousness still sped towards the horizon, fleeing towards the direction of the Forest Prison.

"Let me go after them."

Shanlong Yinxiu transformed into a dragon, but Shaohao stopped him, saying, "No need, someone is waiting for him in Senyu."

Shanlong looked puzzled.

Shao Hao smiled faintly, helped the Shepherd God up, and used an eighth-grade divine power technique.

After a few breaths, Pan slowly opened his eyes.

"Thank you, Hao'er. From now on, no one will be able to threaten Tianjiang."

"Why is Pan Shen fighting so desperately? If something happens to you, Ruomei will be very sad."

"This is the dignity of a king."

Shao Hao helped the Shepherd up: "Let's return to the Heavenly Frontier. We'll leave the rest to the Heavenly One. I believe he will be very happy."

The heavenly beings were indeed very happy.

Beside the ancient deep-seated river, a huge cauldron was erected, its interior shimmering with strange light. An unseen force was pulling at the struggling three-headed cloud dragon, preventing it from diving to the bottom of the river.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

The Celestial One raised the Wheel of Time, and with a flash of sword light, severed one of the heads of the three-headed cloud dragon.

"Ouch, it hurts! Spare me, sir, please spare me!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. Even if you die, I will resurrect you. Once I obtain the method of blood essence creation, you will be my first test subject."

The Earth God added, "A spirit beast like you, possessing self-awareness, is indeed worth studying."

"What does it mean?"

The Celestial One patiently explained, "I am collecting strange life forms, and as a magical beast with a thousand-year foundation, you may be able to gain even greater power if you are improved."

An inexplicable fear drove the three-headed cloud dragon to roar madly, "I don't want to! Let me go!"

"It's not up to you."

"One head is enough to draw blood from; the rest can wait for Yama to return and throw them into the Ten Thousand Demon Furnace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a primordial spirit entered the three-headed primordial dragon. After the two merged, the cloud dragon reappeared in the form of Yama.

"Who are you?"

"The one who will make Yama meet Yama."

Without any chance of resistance, Yama was pulled into the Myriad Demon Furnace by an immense force.

As time passed, the struggles and screams by the ancient river gradually ceased.

At the summit of Tiandu, Luo Hou gazed at the distant Black Moon and Ancient Sun, which resembled two small dots hanging on the horizon.

"Moreover, heaven and earth are the furnace, and creation is the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper. Combining and dispersing, waxing and waning, how can there be a constant rule? A thousand changes and ten thousand transformations, without beginning or end. Suddenly becoming human, what can be controlled; transforming into a strange thing, what is there to worry about?"

……

In the endless darkness, the Abandoned Emperor absorbed the last bit of Black Moon's energy, and the Black Sea Forest Prison's conduit was severed.

"Your Majesty, how could Rahu and Chifeitian have joined forces?"

"A variable is a variable."

What's our next move?

"Next round, it's that little snake that's been designated as a god that will make its move. Let's watch the show."

Chapter 309 The Land Where All Demons Dwell

Luo Hou took out the Di Tian Shrine from the barrier; it was time to have a talk with Shen Si.

"After reflecting for so long, have you discovered your own value?"

Shen Si was furious. For some time now, the Di Tian Shrine had cut him off from all contact with the outside world. The King of Hell was a small matter, but delaying the Venerable One's plans was a big deal.

"Luo Hou, you might as well just kill me."

"It's not impossible."

"Hmph! Is Yama, the King of Hell, dead?"

"You want me to kill you so you can return to the Dark Palace? No, you will just vanish like Yama, leaving no trace of yourself in the world."

Shensi softened: "I can help you push Black Moon back to the Forest Prison, but I have no physical body and need a strong person to assist me."

"I'll make the arrangements."

"If I do this well, will you set me free?"

He asked, his mind filled with hope.

"I will send you to Cuihuan Mountain and hand you over to Su Huanzhen for disposal, what do you say?"

"……All right."

The one who assisted Shensi in promoting the Black Moon was Shanlong Yinxiu.

Luo Hou, along with Zhi Xin and Duan Mie Chan Ti, arrived early in Xiaoshan. Shao Hao and Shan Long Yin Xiu were already waiting, and soon Su Huan Zhen also arrived.

"The calamity of the Three Yangs is finally over. Thank you, Lord Wu."

Luo Hou handed over the Ditian Shrine: "Sage Su, you should be familiar with Shensi. He was the one who possessed the ghost's hand and tricked Yunyinzi into writing the Heavenly Prophecy."

"Ha, please excuse my poor performance, Lord Wu."

"Once this matter is finished, you can return to your duties."

"Su will handle the matter appropriately."

The Black Moon Return Project has begun. Su Huanzhen opened the Ditian Shrine, and a wisp of his spiritual consciousness flew to the sky above the Black Moon.

Then came a long, drawn-out dragon roar. The hidden mountain dragon transformed into a giant red dragon, soaring into the sky. After circling three times, it pressed its head against the black moon and propelled itself forward with all its might.

"Naga Black Moon, send me to Naraka, to the depths of samsara, where I command!"

The fire on the Black Moon was taken away by Luo Hou, and most of the demonic energy was absorbed by Yama, making it much easier to control. Under the guidance of Shen Si's bloodline and the propulsion of Shan Long Yin Xiu, it moved along its original trajectory.

Start slowly and gradually increase the speed.

After a few moments, a loud boom was heard, and Black Moon broke through the boundary between the two realms and returned to Black Sea Forest Prison.

With the black moon gone, the ancient sun no longer needed to hang in the sky.

Shao Hao leaped up and put Gu Yao into his sleeve. He would study it carefully for the next period of time.
