Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Yu Lijing, Ji Xiashang, and Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun remained outside the door, watching Luo Hou step into Hao Fa Xiu Tang.

This is a tall and spacious hall. Apart from two rows of bookshelves against the wall, there are not many other furnishings. There are a few futons in the hall, which are probably where the disciples sit when they listen to the lectures.

The two stood still in the hall.

"Luo Hou, Jun Fengtian has heard many legends about you."

“Fa Ru, I have also heard many of your legends.”

In terms of age, Jun Fengtian was older than Luo Hou.

Jun Fengtian made a name for himself in the martial arts world during the Blood River Battle. Fengtian Xiaoyao was ordered by the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable to quell the rebellion. Yu Xiaoyao returned due to an unexpected situation at the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. Jun Fengtian then went alone to Xuanhuang Island to kill the Ghost Qilin Master.

By the time Luo Hou killed Xie Tianyu in the Western Martial World, Jun Fengtian had already gone into seclusion on the Defeng Ancient Road.

As for the crises such as the Buddha's dual body, Mara, and the six kings, Rahu truly did not know why Defeng Gudao did not step forward.

Defeng Gudao remained calm and watched as Ying Wuqian did all sorts of things without uttering a single word.

If you really want to know, it's simply that the time for your destiny hasn't come yet.

Luo Hou's divine sense swept over the area and saw that Jun Fengtian's body was covered with a dense layer of immortal energy, which was the energy of an innate divine emperor.

The innate divine emperor's energy comes from Jun Fengtian's bloodline and is obtained at birth. It not only automatically protects the body but also has extremely strong defensive capabilities. The drawback is that it needs to return to the sea of ​​clouds from time to time to recharge, otherwise its inner energy will gradually be lost.

In addition to the innate divine emperor's aura, the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect also possesses the acquired divine emperor's aura, which is acquired through diligent cultivation. Yu Xiaoyao, Yun Huizi, and Liu Zhuyi are all examples of this.

"I apologize for offending Jun Fengtian."

"please."

The visitor was a guest, so a test was necessary. Jun Fengtian's legal code flipped rapidly without wind, and in that instant, a mighty force descended from the sky, striking Luo Hou.

"The laws of Heaven are unchangeable!"

Luo Hou placed one hand behind his back and thrust the other out horizontally: "Sun-Shattering Gale!"

Since it was just a test, Luo Hou only used three-tenths of his strength to meet the attack with a palm strike, which created a whirlwind that seemed to swallow the sun and moon.

With immense power and heaven-shattering might, the two forces burst forth, causing the Milky Way to tremble, the sun and moon to shudder, and a violent tremor to resound from the Haofa Cultivation Hall.

As expected, three-tenths of his power did not break through the innate divine emperor's aura, but it still caused that dense protective shield to swirl continuously, like white clouds suddenly separating and then rapidly condensing again.

Jun Fengtian was clearly taken aback. He had noticed that Luo Hou was holding back, and was initially somewhat annoyed. However, Luo Hou showed no signs of weakness, and this result of the trial move immediately made Jun Fengtian take it seriously.

"Again, boundless heaven and earth!"

Jun Fengtian instantly gathered his true essence, channeling his energy throughout his body. The law book in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and a vast holy light shot into the sky, sweeping across all directions.

This move still uses Confucian martial arts. Judging from the whistling air currents all around, Jun Fengtian must have been attacking with all his might.

Luo Hou still thrust out with one hand, this time increasing his power to fifty percent: "Erosion Palm!"

A mighty force, powerful enough to shatter the heavens and split the earth, emanated from Rahu's hand, obscuring the sky. Before this power, neither gods nor demons could stop it.

Jun Fengtian naturally could not stop him.

The two clashed again, but Jun Fengtian staggered back three steps.

This time, Luo Hou did not attack his Divine Emperor's protective shield, but instead smashed all his palm energy into Jun Fengtian's palm force, using palm to break palm.

If the divine emperor's aura were truly broken, wouldn't that be a great benefit to the extraordinary ruler?

Jun Fengtian wiped a trace of crimson from the corner of his mouth, drew the Zhengfa Sword from his back, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Du's name is renowned, and Jun Fengtian looks forward to meeting him."

If you lose with fists and palms, prove yourself with weapons.

Luo Hou shook his head: "I have no need to use a knife."

These words were very hurtful to Jun Fengtian, but they were indeed true for Luo Hou. Hao Zheng Wu Dao, if the first Dao forces out Ji Du, then what's the point of playing around? He should just go home as soon as possible.

Luo Hou came here only to spar with Huang Ru, since Huang Ru was the one who directly fought against E Huo. He wanted to use the battle situation with Huang Ru to formulate the next battle strategy.

You have obeyed Heaven's will; winning is useless.

Chapter 324 A Ruthless Scholar, Letting Life Take Its Course Amidst the Misty Rain

Jun Fengtian drew his righteous sword, but Luo Hou did not reveal his Jidu blade.

The scene was somewhat awkward.

Jun Fengtian was taken aback at first, but then calmed down. His figure did not move, but his sword energy swept over like a surging sea.

"Heavenly Decree!"

Instantly, countless rays of light burst forth from the hall, as if ten suns were appearing simultaneously in the heavens and earth. The chilling sword energy combined with the divine emperor's aura and swiftly slashed at Luo Hou.

At the same time, along with the burst of sword light, thousands of Confucian characters were also released, forming a protective barrier of righteous energy.

Clearly, through the previous two exchanges, Jun Fengtian sensed the demonic energy contained in Luo Hou's true power and unleashed all the righteous energy of heaven and earth contained in the Zhiheng Law Canon.

Unexpectedly, Rahu's true essence instantly transformed, his demonic essence into Buddhist essence, and he struck out with both fists simultaneously, producing an authentic Buddhist effect.

This was a breakthrough after obtaining the Solar Flame Seed. The Solar Flame Seed, carrying supreme divine power, entered the body, bursting forth the true essence in the Qi Sea, breaking apart the originally balanced Three Extremes Essence, forming three separate existences.

Fortunately, with the Brahma Body Demon Body, although the Three Extremes were unbalanced, it withstood the explosive damage; otherwise, Rahu would have had to absorb the power of the Tathagata to replenish his Buddhist energy.

On the contrary, because of the separation of the three elements, Rahu can freely switch between the three attack effects of demon, Buddha, and god.

The Sunfire Seed, such an incredible cheat, is certainly not just about increasing divine power; however, it is Rahu's trump card, and he might not even use it against Calamity.

"Shatter the Sun, Destroy the Origin!"

Buddhist chants and golden flowers rained down.

"How?"

Jun Fengtian has lived in seclusion on the ancient road of Defeng for many years, and his understanding of Luo Hou is really too little. The majestic righteousness and the righteous Buddhist spirit are like two competing forces of heaven and earth, shining brightly as far as the eye can see.

"Attention."

Luo Hou punched the Zhengfa Sword with one fist and the Confucian Cultural Barrier with the other. With power as the foundation and Buddhist essence as the guide, the true power was inexhaustible, and chaos opened up on its own.

These two punches are extremely refined and pure, and therefore the ultimate.

Boom, boom.

Two loud bangs rang out, the sword light dissipated, the barrier shattered, and Jun Fengtian retreated again.

Luo Hou held back, not breaking his Divine Emperor Qi, so naturally he couldn't inflict external injuries. However, the powerful true energy caused a shock to his body, making Jun Fengtian feel as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, with all his internal organs shifting.

Jun Fengtian vomited another mouthful of vermilion.

Faced with such a result, even if they were unwilling, they could only accept it. The two were merely exchanging blows, not fighting to the death. Besides, Luo Hou was a guest who came because of Feng Ru Wuqing.

Jun Fengtian put away the righteous law and the code of law, and said coldly, "I am not as good as you, please."

"Accepted."

Haozheng Second Road, Jade Phoenix Terrace.

At this time, Feng Ru Wuqing Ying Shuangqing had already learned the result of Jun Fengtian's sparring with Luo Hou. With the blessing of the Zhiheng Law Code, Jun Fengtian failed to force out Luo Hou's Jidu.

Soon, Ying Shuangqing heard Lin Tianxing's voice transmission: "Discuss the matter of unparalleled martial arts with him, and do not discuss anything else."

"Your Excellency, if Rahu insists on continuing the challenge, what should I do?"

"reject."

Is he really that strong?

"I know too little about Defeng Ancient Path. This is the first time I have seen a technique that can switch between demonic and Buddhist energy at will. I cannot rule out the possibility that he has a Yin-Yang dual body."

"I understand."

As soon as the telepathic transmission ended, Luo Hou arrived in front of the Jade Phoenix Terrace.

This is a garden planted with countless exotic flowers and plants, and among them stands a white platform.

Ying Shuangqing wore a red dress and her face was half-veiled, making her look mysterious and beautiful.

Upon seeing Luo Hou, she bowed slightly: "I apologize for my rudeness in not going to the Cui Xin Palace to greet the Martial Lord who has arrived."

"It was my presumption. Venerable Feng Ru is guarding the five paths of Guan Hao, so there is no need to welcome him."

"Has the Martial Lord come here for the unprecedented matter of exhausting martial prowess?"

"Indeed, Tiandu, as the organizer, has come to invite you to join us."

Ying Shuangqing smiled slightly: "I wonder what the relationship is between Tiandu and the Father of Kuahuan?"

Luo Hou sent someone to give advance notice, allowing Defeng Ancient Path time to gather clues. They successfully tracked down Kuahuan, the mastermind behind it all, which was quite efficient.

"The treasures of the wonders of the mountains and seas were provided by the father of fantasy."

"The Father of Fantasy must have ulterior motives for providing so many rare treasures. May I ask if the Martial Lord may inform me?"

"To incite the world to fight."

"I never expected Wu Jun to be so frank, but Defeng Gudao is unwilling to get involved in the conflicts of the martial world, and has no desire to covet other people's property."

The response was as expected.

Luo Hou said calmly, "The treasures of the world belong to the capable. If the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism do not take them, it is as if they are handing them over to evil demons and heretics."

"Oh?"

"Furthermore, the list of eight people has already spread throughout the martial arts world. If Venerable Feng Ru does not appear, the outside world will only think that Defeng Ancient Path is afraid of failure and dares not participate."

"A boring opinion."

"I fear that the views of Confucian disciples differ from those of Your Excellency."

Ying Shuangqing was speechless.

In the struggle for supremacy in the ancient plains, various forces vied for power, yet the virtuous and ancient ways remained silent, which was indeed difficult to explain to the Confucian disciples.

Hao Zhengwu has been living in seclusion for a long time and does not care about the opinions of outsiders. However, many people in Defeng Ancient Path, as well as teachers and students from the four branches, will certainly not understand Feng Ru's choice.

At that time, he will inevitably be labeled as a coward.

Ying Shuangqing sighed softly, "I will reconsider this matter."

"It seems I will not have the opportunity to spar with you, esteemed scholar, today."

"The esteemed scholar is not inside. Please arrange another day, Martial Lord."
