Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Ni Shenyang quickly sensed the threat posed by Lie Yan, and before he could get close, he was already scorched three-tenths of his body.

Suddenly, a melodious and warm song drifted on the gentle breeze, attracting the beast king, who had gone mad, and gradually calmed down.

On a distant peak, Luo Hou and Yue Xunyuan watched this scene unfold, until the Beast King, along with Amber disguised as the Heavenly Weaver, ventured deeper into the Hunting Realm.

Night fell, and once again all was calm.

Jiao Su'er is still being held hostage in Tiandu, and Ni Shenyang and the Elf Clan haven't made any moves during this time.

Now that the Heavenly Weaver and the War God Ni have arrived in Shouyu, will Ni Shenyang activate the Blood Darkness Cataclysm under the influence of the Demon Seed?

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

Le Xunyuan waited for a long time but still didn't receive any instructions from Luo Hou, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm thinking about how to rewrite the script of the Underworld."

"script?"

With Huang Yang and Geng Ri injured, and the secret of the War God Ni still unsolved, Ni Shen Yang will at least not open the Blood Dark Crystal Tower tonight.

"Tomorrow, we will deploy our troops on the seven peaks of the northern sky, carrying the constellation Horn."

If Ni Shenyang refuses to hand over the Blood Darkness Disaster Map, Luo Hou will not hesitate to kill Jiao Su'er on the battlefield and wipe out the Elf Hunting Universe clan.

Luo Hou had no interest in writing other people's screenplays.

Rewriting is possible.

Chapter 345: One who wages war is unworthy to be king; one who lacks strength, how can he be called a god?

It was an ordinary early summer day; the flowers in Tiandu had already faded, but the peach blossoms on the Seven Peaks of Beitian were still in full bloom.

Luo Hou personally led his troops into battle, with Yue Xunyuan escorting Jiao Su'er to his side.

Besides Xian Wang, Ji Xia Shang, Wangu Chang Kong, and Ya Hun, the accompanying generals also included Xiao Liu Guang and Hen Wu Feng, who had just arrived in Tian Du.

Last night, the two recounted their visit to the elven territory. When Luo Hou asked if they had sensed any evil energy in the elven valley, the two said they had not found anything unusual.

On the Hunting Universe's side, last night, the Heavenly Weaver had already handed over the Blood Darkness Calamity Map to the Reverse God Yang.

"Fight!"

The entire Shouyu clan mobilized, with the Heavenly Weaver transforming into amber and standing at the front of the procession, accompanied by the powerful ally, the War God Lion.

The first to appear between the two armies was Jiao Su'er, whose acupoints had been sealed.

Le Xunyuan, representing Tiandu, declared war: "Listen up, elves! The Martial Lord demands that you immediately hand over the Blood Darkness Disaster Map, or else we will first behead Horned Constellation's son, and then execute the rebellious god Yang."

Ni Shenyang stopped the irritable Huang Yang Geng Ri, stepped forward, and coldly asked, "Is this the way the righteous path of the Bitter Realm behaves?"

Le Xunyuan came prepared: "Ni Shenyang, since your rebirth, a total of 320 people have been injured or killed and 470 have gone missing in the Seven Peaks of the Northern Heaven. This has forced the people in the vicinity to move away from their homes and relocate elsewhere. How should this debt be settled?"

"Humans are despicable, greedy, and deserve to die!"

These words enraged the people of Tiandu. If it weren't for the fact that the Martial Lord hadn't made a move, they would have already attacked with swords and spears.

It was Yue Xunyuan who spoke up: "The Martial Lord said that today we need both the goods and the accounts to be settled."

“Using hostages as a threat, Ni Shenyang will never yield, but Ni Shenyang can exchange his own life for Jiao Su’er.”

Upon hearing Ni Shenyang's promise, the elves were thrown into chaos:

"Yang Shen, no!"

"Yang Shen, no! Let me change!"

Ni Shenyang waved his hand and shouted, "Step back! Luo Hou, I respect you as a hero, and a hero should resolve things in a heroic way."

"Oh?"

"I will decide the victor in three moves. If I lose, I will hand over the Blood Darkness Map to you. If I win, I will release Horned Constellation."

Luo Hou said calmly, "I am not satisfied with this bet. You lose. Hand over the Blood Darkness Map and seven hundred and ninety elves in exchange for your lives."

"Impossible!"

The entire Shouyu clan has fewer than a thousand members; if they were all handed over, their entire lineage would be wiped out.

But what goes around comes around.

"If you don't accept it, you can die with them."

Ni Shenyang gritted his teeth: "Fine, what if you lose?"

"I have lost, so the fate of the world is now in your hands."

Suddenly, Jiao Su'er burst into tears: "Yang God, no! Big Brother, no! I'm willing to die, please don't hit me!"

Huang Yanggeng was heartbroken. His second younger brother, Mao Su'er, had run away from home since childhood and later formed the Xianyun Three Transformations with E'lai and Junhuang Xueling. He died at the hands of Tiandu Jixiashang not long ago.

If his younger brother were to die, how could he face his parents in the afterlife?

The hatred in his heart was like a hurricane. Huang Yang Geng Ri controlled his impulse, walked up to Luo Hou, and knelt on one knee: "Martial Lord, I am willing to replace Jiao Su'er and kill me!"

The elves lost control of their emotions, and angry shouts rang out from within the ranks: "Damn humans, kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Rarely, Luo Hou smiled and said, "You have brothers, but what about the humans you killed? Didn't they have brothers, sisters, parents, wives, and children?"

His voice was not loud, nor did it carry any anger, but when he said those words, all the elves felt as if they had been struck by a heavy blow, and their hearts ached unbearably.

"Uh!"

"puff!"

"My heart is aching so much!"

At this point, reasoning is no longer possible. The elves who have been harmed by the demonic seed are like drug addicts who have taken drugs. There is only one way out: forced drug rehabilitation.

"Ni Shenyang, remember you only have three moves."

"Luo Hou, you have lost. Everyone in Tiandu will be buried with you."

By reversing the flow of the divine sun and gathering the vital energy, one can fully replenish one's essence, causing the wind to blow away stones, the clouds to scatter, and the atmosphere to change.

"Reverse God Technique - Exhaust the Universe!"

With a powerful palm strike, its strength was unparalleled, its aura encompassing heaven and earth, sweeping across the nine heavens and causing the northern sky to tremble and the seven peaks to resonate.

"Is this your strength?"

Luo Hou neither dodged nor evaded, remaining as steadfast as a boulder in a storm. Only when the palm struck him did he slightly flick his sleeves, unleashing a surge of divine power.

When the two forces clashed, the sound of metal clanging filled the sky. The powerful strike that defied the heavens and swallowed mountains and rivers was reduced to foam and vanished into nothingness.

"Wu Jun has not disappointed me."

"Yang Shen, how can you be called a god if you are clumsy in strength?"

"Second move, Reverse God Technique - Final Form - Return to Primordial Chaos, drink!"

With only three moves left, Ni Shenyang roared and unleashed the forbidden essence of the spirits, revealing an unprecedented and immense power that encompassed the winds and clouds of heaven and earth.

Instantly, the surrounding area was shaken, the seven peaks trembled, and the energy rippled across a radius of a thousand miles.

The center of the palm strike landed on Rahu.

The group from Tiandu exchanged glances, all feeling the formidable strength of their opponent.

Xiao Liuguang nudged Hen Wufeng and asked in a low voice, "Dafeng, are you confident you can handle this?"

Hen Wufeng shook his head: "It's unlikely we'll escape unscathed."

"What about you?"

Xiao Liuguang nudged the Prince of Xian beside him again.

"Within the realm of dust and delusion, I win. Outside, he wins."

"You mean your green mycelium won?"

The King of Fire rolled his eyes at Xiao Liuguang: "I may grant you permission to fight."

"cut!"

Unlike the others' teasing, Le Xunyuan kept a close eye on the two men's movements the whole time. He knew his master was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

The palm wind unleashed by Ni Shenyang forced him to retreat repeatedly, almost causing him to drop the hostage in his hands.

But his master remained unmoved; not even the hem of his robe was lifted by the palm strike. Le Xunyuan had no idea how he managed to do that.

Ni Shenyang's second palm finally struck Luo Hou's head, but Luo Hou's fist stretched straight up and met Ni Shenyang's palm.

Bang!

The energy clashed violently, scattering several sparks.

It even formed a vast shockwave that shot out in all directions.

Those present tried to defend themselves while hiding in all directions; those who couldn't escape in time were turned into blood and gore.

The impact sent Ni Shenyang flying off Luo Hou's head, crashing into the mountain wall with a thud before sliding down.

Just before landing, he pushed off suddenly, his feet sinking deep into the mountainside, using the force of the earth to stabilize himself.

Although he didn't fall down on the spot, he vomited a mouthful of crimson blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Yang Shen?"

Amber cried out in alarm. Ni Shenyang's strength was ranked first among the elves, but he never expected that even with all his ultimate moves, he could not shake Luo Hou in the slightest.

Ni Shenyang gently wiped away the bloodstains and said in a deep voice, "The outcome is still uncertain, Luo Hou. I will not do as you wish."

"You want to reverse the forbidden energy and trade your life for yours? Then I will grant your wish."

Reversing the Forbidden Yuan can remove the restrictions on Ni Shenyang's body, allowing him to continuously use the power of the Forbidden Yuan, but it will also consume his lifespan and accelerate Ni Shenyang's death.

For the sake of his people, Ni Shenyang risked his life to reverse the forbidden energy, and the winds and clouds from all directions gathered at the seven peaks of the northern sky. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds rolled in and thunder rumbled, as if the heavens were wrathful and the gods and Buddhas were holding him accountable.

Yet, defying the divine sun, it draws in the winds of ten thousand miles, gathers the clouds of the nine heavens, contains the thunder and lightning of the sky, and transforms the living beings of the earth, before striking down with overwhelming force.

"Reverse God Technique - Final Form - Return to the Primordial Chaos!"
