Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Night Sword Demon Annihilation, drink!"

The sword and palm strikes injure each other, but the Soul-Summoning Melody causes the Earth Cocoon Demon Art to collapse.

"The Holy Demon's Repentance!"

The earth cocoon rose up and struck, thunder and lightning flashed, the winds and clouds of creation raged, and lightning swept across the land, causing gods and demons to flee.

Mo Ye Tingjian was knocked back by this fierce palm strike, and Zong Hengzi came to the rescue.

"Earth Cocoon, forcing it will only hasten your death."

"Hahaha, Earth Cocoon is truly worthy of the Netherworld! Heavenly Demon Cocoon, you stand by and watch the Netherworld be humiliated; the hearts of the people will be scattered!"

With heartfelt words, gathering their last remaining strength, the cocoon of earth delivered a bloody blow.

Seeing this, the chess master quickly played the Yin-Yang Strings and then used the Eight Desolations Chessboard as a response.

In the final explosion, life and death were decided, and the cocoon collapsed with a great laugh.

"The Heavenly Demon Cocoon is the first gift offered by the Chess Demon. Hanging the corpse outside Youdu is a warning to others and a display of his ambition."

Kui Yujiang, relieved of his great worry, nodded with delight: "You are right."

"Let me personally deal with this traitor for you."

"Very good, I look forward to your help in ascending to the throne."

"Although we have lost the Earth Cocoon, I would like to recommend someone who is as famous as me to join us. His name is Fairy Butterfly Jiu Qianqiu."

"You're permitted."

Soon, the corpse of the Earth Cocoon was hung outside Youdu for all to see.

In just a few days, the Holy Mother was absorbed, the Earth Cocoon was executed, the Vermilion Bird Robe defected, and all the forces of the Netherworld were brought under the control of the Heavenly Demon Cocoon.

Next, Zonghengzi offered a second strategy—to attack the Demon Devouring Immovable City.

At this moment, the Demon Devouring Immovable City is holding a disbandment meeting.

After a discussion with the father of Kuahuan, Su Huanzhen confirmed that Kuahuan and Yiye Shu had some connection, but could not find out more.

In addition, he and Qu Shitu assisted Rong Bainian in using magic to retrieve half of her body from the Dark Realm of Mud, transforming the terrifying Dark Woman into the peerless beauty Shezhiduo.

However, the magic was disrupted, and Qu Shitu was left behind in the Mud Goddess Dark Realm. Su Huanzhen had to go and rescue him.

Besides the unknown situations of Yi Ye Shu and Qu Shi Tu, Su Huan Zhen also sent someone to Tan Wu Yu's secluded place, which was deserted. If Luo Hou's information was true, Tan Wu Yu should have been trapped in Japan.

In addition, Feng Zhihen suffered from soul swapping, demonization, and poisoning, resulting in severe damage to his physical strength. The white-clothed and black-clothed individuals were also in poor condition.

Due to various unforeseen circumstances, Su Huanzhen decided to break up the Demon Devouring City into smaller parts and hide them underground.

As for the Netherworld and the newly emerged Elf race, let the Heavenly Capital handle them.

"Everyone, please take good care of yourselves during this extraordinary time. When Su and Qu Shitu return, we will definitely brew a pot of fresh lotus tea made with this summer's dew at Cuihuan Mountain to entertain you."

Chapter 340 Sending Gu Yao into Space, Shao Hao Upgrades Again

Zonghengzi sent a message from the Netherworld, indicating that everything was going according to plan.

Following Kui Yujiang's instructions, the pile of broken organs of Jiuying was left in place to lure Zhuqueyi.

The events in the Netherworld are interconnected: the Earth Cocoon revives the Holy Mother, the Holy Mother revives the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord opens the Primordial Netherworld, and the Primordial Netherworld contains the brain of the Demon Origin.

Although Luo Hou really wanted to take out the brain of the Demon Lord and chop it off first, it was really unnecessary to resurrect the cold-blooded and ruthless couple, the Holy Mother and the Demon Lord.

Luo Hou summoned Ya Hun: "Find the Vermilion Bird Robe. Once found, send her to the Ten Thousand Demon Prison Sea. Do not let her return to the Bitter Realm for the time being."

The crow spirit obeyed the order and departed.

At this moment, Shao Hao returned with Lin Ruomei.

He first greeted his adoptive parents, and then paid his respects to Yue Xunyuan.

Then he excitedly exclaimed, "Godfather, I have discovered Gu Yao's secret!"

"Oh?"

"Let's go outside to test it."

The group arrived at Tiandu Square.

Shao Hao held the ancient radiance and channeled his divine power. As energy flowed in continuously, the ancient radiance suddenly changed color and emitted a dazzling red light.

Then, Gu Yao slowly opened like a flower bud.

From the cracked ancient sun, wisps of clouds drifted out, gradually solidifying to form mountains, valleys, and basins, just like a real world.

The clouds and mist continued to gather, and the world above the ancient city grew larger and larger, eventually covering the capital city and extending to the entire horizon.

Yu Cixin exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a mirage?"

Luo Hou's expression changed slightly: "No, this seems to be a celestial body that is dead on the surface."

"Ok?"

What are dead celestial bodies?

Several people asked the same question at the same time.

Luo Hou pointed to the sky: "Dead stars."

A dead celestial body is one whose core has stopped rotating, no longer has any geological activity, and everything has solidified.

There is no life on the Death Star.

Yu Cixin, Ji Xiashang, and Le Xunyuan leaped up, wanting to see what was going on, but unexpectedly, just as they got close, they were bounced back by an inexplicable force.

Lin Ruomei said softly, "We tried many times in Tianjiang. Only Shao Hao could open the Ancient Radiance, but even my father and Uncle Sword Ghost could not enter this world after he opened it."

Shao Hao continued, "Godfather, I suspect that only divine essence can open the Ancient Yao, and only divine essence can enter it."

Everyone turned their attention to Wu Jun.

The world in the sky continued to grow, and it had already soared into the clouds.

Luo Hou channeled his divine energy, soaring into the heavens. A burst of strange light swept over him, and he had already crossed the edge of this mysterious world.

Yes, this is a dead celestial body.

Everything froze in that instant; it must have been an extremely powerful force that suddenly struck this celestial body, causing a huge shock wave and volcanic eruption effect, which in turn triggered a chain reaction of earthquakes, volcanoes, lava flows, and more.

It is unknown what kind of life originally existed on this celestial body. Traces of large buildings can still be seen buried in volcanic ash, indicating that a civilization once existed on this celestial body.

The center of the celestial body is a wedge-shaped basin that was impacted, also exhibiting a solidified form.

However, there seems to be a strange energy in the basin, hidden yet immense.

"Could it be the core of this celestial body?"

The core of every celestial body is composed of high-density matter. The higher the density of the core, the larger the planet formed. At this moment, this celestial body is still expanding. Luo Hou has no way of knowing how big it was when it first existed.

To higher-dimensional beings, the cycle of a celestial body's birth and death is nothing more than a cycle of discharge and recharge of the most basic particles.

In the eyes of the gods of the Bitter Realm, it was simply a game of destruction and rebirth.

Luo Hou did not go on any further explorations.

If the core of this celestial body is not completely destroyed, once it erupts, the consequences will not only be the complete annihilation of the heavens, but perhaps the entire Bitter Realm, and even the Dao, Gathering, and Extinction Realms, will be reduced to nothingness at the same time.

He leaped down and took the ancient artifact from Shao Hao's hands: "I will hold it up, Hao'er, you go in and explore."

"Adoptive father?"

"I will send the ancient radiance into space and then open it."

Luo Hou glanced longingly at Yu Cixin, Xianling, and everyone in Tiandu. This was a risky move, but how could he not risk exploring a dead celestial body after witnessing it with his own eyes?

After all, such an absurd thing as holding up a celestial body with one's hand can only happen in the realm of suffering.

He summoned Ketu.

"The Heaven-Shattering Star-Slaying Technique!"

In an instant, the blade's light flashed, piercing through heaven and earth, and Jidu broke through the clouds for thousands of miles, leaving a line of crimson.

Rahu, holding the ancient radiance in his hand, ascended straight up to the clouds along Ketu, stepping on the broad tip of a blade, and then transformed into a Brahma-like demonic body.

In the blink of an eye, the Brahma Demon Body grew another thousand feet.

Looking down on Tiandu from the clouds, the majestic palace appears as a black dot, and the West Sea looks like a tiny matchbox.

Even with Luo Hou's keen eyesight, he couldn't see those people clearly anymore.

As altitude increases, temperatures become extremely cold, powerful atmospheric storms pound around the waist, while the air overhead remains relatively calm.

After passing through the troposphere, we reached the stratosphere.

This is the maximum height that Rahu can reach. If Gu Yao explodes here, Rahu will have no choice but to risk his life to stop the impact.

Shao Hao climbed up, stepping on Ji Du and then on his adoptive father's body, and stood on Luo Hou's shoulder.

"Father!"

"Hao'er, I remember you don't have a fear of heights."

What is acrophobia?

"Hahaha! If danger occurs, even if it means our father and I perish, we must stop the explosion, okay?"

"Hao'er has no regrets about sharing life and death with his adoptive father."

"With a son like this, I have no regrets. Drink!"

With a triumphant shout, Luo Hou channeled his divine essence into Gu Yao.

Instantly, light poured forth, illuminating the universe, and a dead celestial body slowly opened in Rahu's hand, recreating a scene from long ago.

Countless mountains collapsed, countless rivers dried up, plants were swallowed by volcanoes, farmland was buried in ash, and life ended in the instant of vaporization.

The celestial body is like a blank canvas, forever frozen at the moment of death, and then kneaded by some force into a warm little ball, placed in a peaceful zoo.

Today, this little ball was opened, like unfolding a scroll from a long time ago.

Luo Hou didn't know what exactly controlled everything about this celestial body. As time passed, only the traces of civilization's last struggle remained on the megalith.

The burden on the divine essence is increasing, and the celestial body is still expanding. If it weren't for the solar fire stolen from the Black Moon, Rahu would not have been able to support such a massive world.
