Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

The desert eagle standing atop the Immortal's Foot retorted, "I heard that a few days ago, you took the initiative to open the gates to welcome the Heavenly Ones of the Dead Kingdom. Your destiny is indeed easily changed."

“Hey, he came from the Six Heavens Realm, so he doesn’t count.”

"You mean it only counts if we meet the master of the artifact?"

"Indeed, the greatest among men is not seen, and the divine spirit roams freely without leaving the mountain."

"Don't play tricks, I'll bring the master of the artifact."

After saying this, a cry of an eagle rang out, and the person on the mountaintop transformed into an eagle and flew away.

The appearance of the Three Lights Divine Artifacts naturally alarmed the Underworld.

At this moment, Di Ming was slumped at the source of the Blood Darkness. Beneath the spring, all that could be seen was clear water and mud. The Blood Darkness and the Dark Sun had all vanished.

"No!"

The long-planned, ambitious goal that we've strived for all this time is gone.

Unable to accept such a blow, Di Ming let out a beast-like howl.

Overwhelmed by extreme emotions, several incarnations appeared simultaneously, each vying to accuse the other:

"Fate planner? That's laughable. You can't plan anyone's fate. On the contrary, your fate is already in the hands of others."

"Source of Blood Darkness, put away your disrespect for the Emperor Father! Although the power of Blood Darkness has disappeared, Buddhist energy remains here, which must be the work of Yi Ye Shu. As long as it is absorbed by the most human beings, our mission cannot be considered a failure."

"God of the Underworld, you really know how to deceive yourself. Without the power of the Seven Calamities' Blood Darkness, you can't even defeat Tianji, yet you want to destroy the Eight-Headed Evil God. Just wait for the human world to become the evil god's plaything."

"Ghostly Truth, before you accuse the gods of the underworld, think about what other ways there might be to salvage the situation."

"King Seth II, we are doomed. We have failed the Emperor's trust. When the evil god descends, let us perish together!"

"No, we can create another Dark Sun, and this time place it in a more secluded spot."

“Destiny planner, your plans are as stinking as dog shit.”

"God of the underworld, tell Tianji everything and ask him to help us."

"No, I will not allow anyone to taint the purity of Dawn. We must bear the consequences of such a sin ourselves."

"Shut up! All of you shut up! I must complete the Emperor's mission and rebuild the Dark Sun!"

"Go to the Netherworld and unleash the calamity of heavenly fire!"

Chapter 350 Everyone has their own agenda

Having obtained a divine artifact, Haoxing Tanlong felt embarrassed to refuse Chu Tianxing any longer, so he took him with him to the Yellow Springs Three Thousand Feet.

Two figures stepped into the dark and eerie Abyss of Ghost Sacrifice today.

Ghosts do not laugh, gods do not speak, birds fly like waterfalls, trees wither and branches fall; it has abandoned the human world, yet it coldly watches over this land.

Unable to bear the foul and putrid smell, Chu Tianxing covered his nose and complained, "I've traveled all over the world, and this is the first time I've come to such a stinking, damp place. I really made a bad choice in friends!"

The Father of Fantasy slowly spoke: "You were the one who came along, and you're the one who complains."

"It seems like you've got me cornered."

"Beneath the Abyss of Ghost Sacrifice lies the legendary Yellow Springs, three thousand feet deep. I'm going to explore it. Do you want to come with me?"

Chu Tianxing turned the empty wine jug upside down and shook his head: "No, the tunnel is so narrow that even one person would have to crawl, let alone two. I'll go buy some wine first. I hope that when I return, you will have already crawled back from the Yellow Springs."

Haoxing Tanlong didn't force him; he climbed down the Ghost Sacrifice Abyss alone.

Upon reaching the underground, what came into view was a hellish place, with eerie flames floating, magma gushing forth, and the air filled with scorching heat.

Within the molten lava lies a reborn human body.

After searching the entire underground hell, although there were traces of human habitation, not a single person could be found. Haoxing Tanlong had no choice but to return to the shore.

A lotus boat floats on the clear water, surrounded by green mountains. Chu Tianxing, riding a small boat, drinks wine with ease, while Haoxing Tanlong leaps into the boat with a single step.

"So fast, what did you see?"

"A shell of a human being; perhaps the person I'm looking for has changed his appearance and infiltrated the martial arts world."

"It seems the trail has gone cold."

Haoxing pressed down on the vinegar, weak and cowardly, simmering with joy and contentment. The body was concave and hot, still soft and sticky. The curtain was drawn, and the turbid water cascaded down. The frame was broken!

Chu Tianxing felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze: "Do you suspect that the person who delivered the letter to you was me?"

"What do you say?"

"It's true that good deeds are often unappreciated. I'll take you back to Bamianlinglong first."

The three lights illuminated the world, shocking all sides; a dragon among men, his fame spread far and wide.

The Heavenly Demon Cocoon emerged from the secret chamber with a gloomy expression. The Nine-Five Box had changed its mind. He was not the only dragon among men. On his path to becoming the supreme ruler, in addition to Su Huanzhen and Luo Hou, whom he had mentioned before, the Father of Illusion had become an obstacle.

"Kuahuan must die, strategist, what brilliant plan do you have?"

After ascending to power by stepping on the endless corpses of the Earth Cocoon, Zonghengzi's first battle was to attack the Demon Devouring Immovable City.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Devouring Immovable City was disbanded, and the city that was captured by the heavy army was just an empty city.

The second battle was against Ni Shenyang and Shouyu. They set up a grand formation to lure them into a trap, but Shouyu was crippled by Wu Jun.

Zonghengzi sighed inwardly, realizing that achieving great things was truly not easy.

His third strategy to Tianmojian was to attack Tiandu. Now that Nishenyang's masterpiece was ahead of them, Tianmojian dared not easily send troops. Coincidentally, news broke in the martial arts world that Kuahuan's father was a dragon among men.

The news that Kuahuan had recovered his true form and left the Mountain and Sea Wonders was recuperating in the Eight Directions Exquisite Pavilion.

In an instant, countless eyes turned to Bamian Linglong, whether vying for the title of Dragon Among Men, seeking the wonders and treasures of the mountains and seas, or looking for revenge against the Father of Fantasy.

Knowing Tianmojian's worries, Zonghengzi said, "Demon Lord, Kuahuan's father once cooperated with Luohou. If the Netherworld directly attacks Bamianlinglong, it may attract the intervention of Tiandu. It would be better to use someone else to do the dirty work."

Which knife do you want to borrow?

Zonghengzi offered another plan: "Form an alliance with the Yuyu Dynasty, and I believe Emperor Yuliang will bring us the results we want."

"Brilliant strategist's plan! Hahahaha!"

The task of persuading Emperor Yu Liang of the Yu Yu Dynasty was entrusted to Fairy Butterfly Jiu Qianqiu. Not long ago, Zong Hengzi robbed Emperor Yu Liang of the token of the Ancient Plains Hegemony. Given Emperor Yu Liang's narrow-mindedness, if Zong Hengzi went in person, he would probably not return.

The back mountain of Beiyu Wudu is a solitary peak, its summit coiled like a dragon.

The Jade Emperor, clad in gleaming gold, suddenly arrived, and the patrolling Wudu soldiers hurriedly saluted.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yu Liang glanced coldly at the crowd and asked, "In the martial arts world today, who is the dragon among men?"

"what?"

"this?"

The soldiers had no idea who the outstanding man was, and they murmured incoherently, none of them able to answer.

"Humph!"

With a single sweep of his palm, the squad leader standing at the front instantly turned into blood and gore, while the remaining soldiers hurriedly fled.

"Blind as a bat, what use is there in keeping them around!"

Yu Lianghuang continued walking forward, just as Baishi Hou was inquiring about Xiaobing's affairs. Upon seeing Yu Lianghuang approach, Xiaobing bowed and hurriedly ran away.

"How is the construction of the dragon vein's energy progressing?"

Seeing the displeasure on Yu Lianghuang's face, Baishi Hou felt a jolt in his heart and immediately replied, "We are proceeding entirely according to the Shura plan."

After listening, Yu Lianghuang walked to the edge of the abyss where the northern dragon vein was located and looked down.

Bai Shi Hou added, "When the Dragon Emperor is fully restored, that will be the time when our Emperor will unify the world for thousands of years."

Emperor Yu Liang looked up and asked, "In the martial arts world today, who is the dragon among men?"

"The dragon among men is none other than our Emperor."

"That's right, hahahahaha!"

Emperor Yu Liang lifted his golden battle robe and returned to the palace with a wild laugh.

Marquis Baishi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered, "How could my emperor have become like this?"

Upon returning to the Imperial Palace in Wudu, Emperor Yuliang heard a report from his subordinates: "The Netherworld Envoy, Fairy Butterfly Jiuqianqiu, requests an audience with Your Majesty."

"Xuan."

Jiu Qianqiu entered the imperial palace, only to find a landscape screen dividing the palace in two. A person emerged from behind the screen and said, "I have never heard of the name 'Fairy Butterfly'."

"It is only because Jiuqianqiu has just entered the realm of suffering, and his lowly name is not yet worthy of Emperor Liang's ears."

"Ha, the Netherworld and the Imperial Dynasty have never been at odds. What brings the envoy here?"

Jiu Qianqiu first flattered Emperor Yu Liang: "I have heard that Emperor Liang is exceptionally wise and decisive. I have come here today on behalf of the Netherworld, hoping to cooperate with Emperor Liang."

Emperor Yu Liang sarcastically remarked, "What virtue or ability do I possess to be able to unite with the army of the Netherworld?"

"Yes, as long as the Emperor is willing, the gates of the Netherworld will be opened to Emperor Liang at any time. Furthermore, the news about the Dragon Among Men circulating in the martial arts world comes from the Father of Illusion, who provided the wonders and treasures of the mountains and seas that day. Why don't we start our cooperation from here?"

This struck a nerve with Yu Lianghuang, but Yu Lianghuang wasn't so easily fooled: "Are you going to use me to eliminate this great threat with the Demon Cocoon? The Netherworld is full of talented people, why not take action yourself?"

"Only the legendary 'Nine-Five Box' can be considered the best among men."

Emperor Yu Liang's expression changed drastically: "You actually know the secrets recorded in the 'Record of Ascension to Immortality'."

"Jiu Qianqiu also knows the secrets that are not recorded in the 'Record of Ascension to Immortality', because the Box of Nine-Five is in the Netherworld."

"I can make a move if you want, but does the Netherworld want to exchange it for the Nine-Five Box?"

The fish has taken the bait, Jiu Qianqiu said with a smile: "As long as Emperor Yu Liang is willing to cooperate, I will release the relevant information."

"Jiu Qianqiu, I will remember your name. I will be shrewd and resourceful first, and I hope that the Netherworld can also show me its sincerity as soon as possible."

"That's how it should be, please."

"For your convenience."
