Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

The music expressed the wrath of the underworld.

In a corner of the Hall of Eternal Night stood the Clown Puppet One, his head bowed, his back hunched, his hands tightly gripping a marionette.

The song is over.

Di Ming stroked the piano keys, slowly calming his emotions.

"Puppet one."

The clown puppet quickly moved in front of the Underworld God and bowed, asking, "God of the Underworld, what are your orders?"

Kuiyi was the first successful life form created by Diming, but unfortunately it had some flaws. It walked with a limp and could not fully straighten its back.

Besides Kuiyi, Diming also created another life form, Lifan. Perhaps it was too perfect, because Lifan broke free from Diming's control and now its whereabouts are unknown.

This made Kuiyi very resentful. He didn't understand why Diming didn't bring Lifan back. His resentment slowly evolved into murderous intent. Several times, Kuiyi intentionally or unintentionally encouraged Diming to kill his younger brother.

Di Ming disliked Li Fan's escape, and even more so, he disliked Kui Yi's jealousy.

When he created two lives at the same time, he was simply thinking about his past and the long years he spent alone, which made him think that perhaps two children would be better than one.

But reality disappointed him. Kuiyi's yearning for affection often reminded Dixiang of his feelings for his father, the Emperor, and his response to Kuiyi was just like his father's response to him.

What is a father?

Di Ming was unaware of this, and therefore he forbade Kui Yi from calling him father.

All he knew was to keep cultivating, keep completing tasks, and keep fulfilling his father's expectations.

In this respect, Di Ming believes that neither Kui Yi nor Li Fan is as good as Doomsday Seventeen.

However, what angered him at this moment was not his two sons, but the fact that the script he had written had not been performed and his character was going off track.

Amidst Kui Yi's unease, Di Ming gathered his chaotic thoughts and coldly asked, "How is your study of the Doomsday Martial Arts Manual progressing?"

"Reporting to the God of the Underworld, I have learned the sixth level."

"Kuiyi, you have disappointed the God of the Underworld."

Di Ming flicked his finger, sending out two cards, which Kui Yi quickly caught.

"No one can escape the script written by the gods. You will guide everything that has gone out of control back on track."

"Kuiyi will not disappoint the God of the Underworld."

The two cards in Kuiyi's hand are the Celestial Weaver of the Elf race and the War God Ni. With the Elf world currently in a state of disarray, it is no longer able to organize a decent war. Diming wants to bring them back together.

After Kui Yi left the Eternal Night Theater, Di Ming lifted a curtain that stood in front of the piano, revealing a pure white wax figure.

Where should we carve from?

Di Ming recalled Tian Ji's appearance, finally freezing on the great battle at the peak of Ni Lin: the furious Tian Ji, the ruthless Tian Ji, the Tian Ji who held nothing back...

The traces of heaven in the life-or-death struggle are not the dawn that once gave warmth to the seventeenth day of the apocalypse.

I can't remember, I can't recall it.

Frustrated, Di Ming threw down the carving knife in his hand and returned to the secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, the Emperor sat on his throne, looking at him expressionlessly: "Seventeen, you have disappointed your Emperor."

"Father Emperor, may Seventeen see him one more time?"

You can no longer be obsessed with dawn and eternal day!

Di Ming said painfully, "Seventeen has made a mistake, please punish me, Father Emperor!"

The Emperor raised his hand and "crack!" A whip lashed hard across Di Ming's back, causing him to bite his lip tightly in pain.

Pop, pop, pop.

Di Ming seemed to return to that day, when the Emperor Father infused him with the Nine Abyss Mysterious Arts for the last time. He stood in the Pool of Resentful Souls, bound by the Emperor Father to the giant cross-shaped tree in the pool.

Countless vengeful spirits crawled out of the pool, viciously and greedily devouring Doomsday Seventeen's body and soul, and were also absorbed by Doomsday Seventeen in the process of being devoured.

The wails of the vengeful spirits mingled with Seventeen's screams until he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, Doomsday Seventeen saw his father's smile for the first time and received his praise for the first time: "Seventeen, you have indeed not disappointed me."

We cannot disappoint the Emperor.

We cannot let the Emperor down!

After emerging from the secret chamber, Di Ming opened the script to the chapter concerning the First Calamity of Blood Darkness—

Long ago, the Underworld, incarnated as the source of Blood Darkness, came to the Elf Realm and planted the seeds of demons. Among the seven lineage masters, he chose the most warlike Heavenly Weaver and bestowed upon him the Blood Darkness Cataclysm Diagram.

Hidden within the Blood Darkness Cataclysm are four Blood Darkness Crystal Towers. Once activated, these towers will form blood-red barriers in the four directions of the Bitter Realm. Anyone entering the area of ​​a tower will be reduced to blood foam, forming new Blood Darkness power.

Unexpectedly, during the battle between the spirits and demons, Ni Shenyang was struck by Haoxing Tanlong and fell into a deep sleep, while Tianzhizhu was imprisoned by Kuahuan once again, which is why the first calamity of the Blood Darkness has not yet been activated.

Di Ming himself was seriously injured in the battle with Tian Ji at the Peak of Reverse Scale and had to hide in the Yellow Springs Three Thousand Feet to recuperate.

It's time to get everything back on track.

At this moment, the Clown Puppet pressed the aura within the card, intercepting the Heavenly Weaver Lord who was returning to the Central Plains from the Forbidden City.

"Ok?"

The sudden appearance of the clown made the Heavenly Weaver on high alert.

"Lord of the Forbidden City, Elf Queen, I have come here only to convey one message: only Ni Shenyang of the Shouyu lineage can open the Blood Darkness Cataclysm Diagram."

"who are you?"

"The Blood Darkness contains a power that makes the Elven race stronger. The Reverse Divine Sun has been reborn, and the Hunting Universe lineage is located on the Seven Peaks of the Northern Heaven. Go."

"Yang Shen? That's great!"

Kui Yi watched as the Heavenly Weaver headed towards the Seven Peaks of the Northern Heaven, then gave a cold laugh. He threw down the card in his hand that depicted the Heavenly Weaver, which instantly turned to ashes.

In the grove, three beast spirits—Mo Shichen, Huai Gui, and Ye Fei—were confronting the War God Ni.

The monster before them, resembling both a human and a beast, was none other than the Forsaken God-type, Xi, who had once rampaged through the Valley of Forsaken Gods, slaughtering countless elves.

"What's going on?"

"Is he really our Beast King?"

"How could the Beast King slaughter his own kind?"

Suddenly, an angry roar was heard, and the Beast King's eyes flashed red. He instantly rushed out of the forest and pounced on a clown.

The clown puppet tugged at the puppet strings in its hand, and the Beast King seemed to be strangled by something, involuntarily stopping its attack.

Kui Yi said grimly, "Do you want to see Amber?"

"amber!"

"She is on the Seven Peaks of the Northern Heaven, in the lineage of the Hunting Universe. Go find her."

The Beast King turned and ran north.

"Chase!"

The three elves, Dust Eater, immediately gave chase.

The seven peaks of the northern sky are bathed in the bright moonlight.

When the Heavenly Weaver saw Ni Shenyang feeding the dragon beast, both elven kings felt as if they were in a dream.

During the great war between the spirits and demons, Yue Lian, the Holy Maiden of Hunting Universe, was suspected of colluding with the enemy because she opposed the war. The leaders of the seven lineages voted and Yue Lian was killed by a vote of four to three.

This action led to Ni Shenyang and the Shouyu lineage withdrawing from the elves.

The Heavenly Weaver was one of the four factions that voted in favor back then.

"Yang Shen, I am very sorry about what happened to Yue Lian."

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps shattered the tranquility of the Hunting Grounds, alerting the patrol team.

War is about to break out.

"amber!"

"Intruder! Kill!"

"what!"

Within moments, several patrolling guards lay dead in pools of blood.

Huang Yanggeng came upon hearing the noise and was shocked to find a monster that resembled both a human and a beast wreaking havoc.

"Get out!"

Huang Yang Geng Ri waved his staff, and his strange and unpredictable magic immediately trapped the Beast King in the formation.

"Whoever trespasses into the Hunting Domain will die!"

The Beast King was determined to retrieve the amber, and his attacks were so fierce and unstoppable that he even broke through a strange technique, forcing Huang Yang Geng Ri to retreat step by step.

"Disappeared without a trace!"

Huang Yang Geng Ri used his strange technique again, disappearing into thin air, but then circled behind the Beast King and unleashed a blazing fireball.

"Ok?"

Repeating his old tricks, Huang Yang Geng Ri used invisibility to manipulate fireballs and lightning, bombarding the Beast King time and time again.

Even the Beast King, with his tenacity, was eventually wounded.

"Amber!"

Just when his emotions were at their most intense and he was most unwilling, two beams of red light shot out from the Beast King's eyes and landed on Huang Yang Geng Ri.

"Uh! Yang Huo Bi!"

The power of the Fiery Eye actually penetrated the thick defenses and entered Huang Yang Geng Ri's body, causing an unexpected injury.

Huang Yanggeng fell to the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his internal organs feeling as if they were being burned. Just as his body was about to explode, a palm strike came to his rescue.

Ni Shenyang helped Huang Yang Gengri up and slowly channeled his vital energy into him.

Despite being rescued by Ni Shenyang, Huang Yang Geng Ri's burns did not improve.

"Amber!"

The Beast King became even more violent, its eyes flashing with intense light that caused the wind and clouds to shift and change.
