Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Huang Yang glanced at Luo Hou and said in a low voice, "I would like to hear Wu Jun's opinion first."

All eyes turned to Luo Hou.

Luo Hou asked the Heavenly Weaver, "The Flower of the Underworld Sun and the Seed of Hope have been proven to be poisons that control the minds of elves. Even the Blazing Thunder Blade contains evil energy that can drive you insane. Do you know why the Underworld chose you?"

"Ok?"

"Because you are not only cruel and warlike, but also worship evil magic and strange arts, and have repeatedly killed people and sacrificed them in the Forbidden City. You and the demons are of the same origin, which is why the Underworld used you as a breakthrough to harm the elves."

"What did you say!"

Luo Hou's calm expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed with rage, and his boundless pressure forced Tian Zhizhu to kneel down with a thud.

"Even now, you still refuse to admit your mistake?"

"I……"

Cold sweat dripped down, wetting the bluestone beneath his feet.

For some reason, scenes from the past flashed through the Heavenly Weaver's mind: killing, sacrifice, war, seas of fire, songs...

Amidst the raging inferno, comes the blood-soaked song of amber, and the mournful pleas of cold, ethereal beings.

"I...was wrong."

One wrong word, a sudden realization of the error, the grief of losing his beloved daughter, and the suffering he inflicted on his people became too much for the Heavenly Weaver to bear, and he collapsed to the ground.

The Divine Radiance Lord sighed, "Poppy also went to extremes because of Amber's death. Someone, help the Heavenly Weaver Lord to rest."

Two attendants quickly entered from outside the main hall and carried the Heavenly Weaver away.

Luo Hou's attitude toward the Heavenly Weaver Lord was understood by the other Elf Lords. In addition, the remaining aggrieved party, Huang Yang Jiao Su, was unwilling to be punished, so the treatment of Hao Xing Tan Long was changed to a lenient one.

Sheng Yuchen coughed and slowly said, "The troubles of the elves were all caused by the war against the Bitter Realm, and we also bear responsibility. In addition, Haoxing Tanlong found out the real culprit and killed the enemy, which can be considered as offsetting both the merits and the demerits. So, I will punish you by making you serve a year of hard labor in the Elven World to contribute to the reconstruction of the Forbidden City and the Beast Vein."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Hou and asked, "What do you think, Martial Lord?"

“Excellent. Let us turn hostility into friendship. I believe that under the leadership of the patriarchs, elves and humans will surely move towards true peace.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Tianxing laughed and said, "Old Hao, I have nowhere else to go, so why don't I stay here and work with you for a year?"

"Thank you, my friend."

Haoxing Tanlong stood up, pulled the Sanheng Zhaoshi out of the bluestone, and handed it to Luohou with both hands.

"Wu Jun, I do not know why I was once named the best among men, but I do not believe I can bear this responsibility. Please pass this sword on to the true best among men, so that it may fulfill its mission of serving the world and protecting morality."

Luo Hou nodded and accepted the Three Hengs Zhao Shi.

"Haoxing Tanlong, there's no need to deny yourself. The moment the most outstanding person in the world chose you, it must have been because you possessed the most outstanding abilities in the world."

"Thank you, Lord Wu."

Not everyone can let go of fame.

The person who did the opposite of Haoxing Tanlong ended up disgraced and ruined because of his empty reputation as the best, which was a pity for his superb skills.

After settling the matter of Haoxing's exploration of the dragon, Luo Hou said, "Could you please take me to Chaotic God Peak, where the head of an eight-headed evil serpent is sealed?"

"What dragon head?"

Luo Hou recounted the story of slaying the dragon on Shiliu Island, and mentioned that Luan Shen Peak in the Elf World was one of the places where eight dragon heads were buried.

Instead of waiting for Chi Luo to come and unseal it, it's better to take the initiative.

Chapter 381 The Martial Lord Releases the First Dragon Head

Chaotic God Peak is located in the northernmost part of the Elf World, and has been a forbidden area since ancient times.

Accompanied by several lineage leaders, Luo Hou ascended Chaotic God Peak, with Hao Xing Tan Long and Chu Tian Xing following behind.

At the mountain pass beneath the giant peak, a huge forbidden zone was formed by five red ropes, with a bright red knife hanging from the middle of the ropes.

The Divine Lord explained, "These are the Five Divine Ropes of the Elf Realm, which combine the earth energy of the four realms and can seal all demons. However, we have never known what is sealed beneath the mountain pass."

"Who sealed it in the first place?"

Sheng Yuchen shook his head. If it wasn't them, then only the deceased previous head of the Imperial Vein, who was also Yu Shaoliu's father, would remain.

Yu Shaoliu patted his head with his fan and said with a wry smile, "My father never told me about this. I only remember him saying that he had a close friend who was from the Bitter Realm."

Luo Hou pondered to himself that perhaps the old master of the Imperial Vein's friend was the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable. Entrusted by the Mystic Venerable, he sealed the dragon head, choosing to seal it alone so as not to worry the other elves.

Moreover, since Di Ming knows so much about the internal affairs of the Elf World, it must be because someone among the elves leaked the information.

Luo Hou looked down and saw black mist swirling in the abyss, like a demonic dragon awakening, swallowing the sky and sticking out its tongue.

"With such restless evil energy, the day of breaking the seal is not far off."

Just as the demonic energy was about to burst out of the mountain pass, the Wolf Night Executioner's Blade, which was bound by the Five Divine Ropes, suddenly emitted a fierce and malevolent aura, suppressing the demonic atmosphere and calming the scene once again.

The Divine Radiance Lord exclaimed in surprise, "This knife?"

"It's the Wolf Night Executioner's Blade, forged from the blood and bones of the Bloodthirsty Night Wolf, a cold-blooded killer from the Beast Vein. It's said that only Bu Junshang, a murderous maniac from the Beast Vein, can wield this blade. How did it end up here?"

Sheng Yuchen added.

As the demonic aura receded, the fierce energy of the Wolf Night Executioner's Blade also returned to its blade, becoming exceptionally tranquil.

Unexpectedly, Luo Hou suddenly reached into the Five Gods Rope and took the knife from it, playing with it in his hand.

The Divine Lord said urgently, "Martial Lord, you mustn't! This sword is meant to suppress the evil leader. If you take it away, the Five Divine Swords alone will probably not be enough to suppress the evil energy."

“Suppression is not a long-term solution. I intend to release the evil leader, allowing Orochi to recover as quickly as possible, and lure it to its death.”

"this?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Back then, when the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable led eight swordsmen to fight the Eight-Headed Serpent on Shiliu Island for a hundred days, they still couldn't eliminate this great demon. Wu Jun's move seemed far too presumptuous.

Ignoring their worries, Luo Hou reached out and wiped the Wolf Night Execution Blade, a trickle of crimson flowing out, washing the blade clean.

This knife harbors the vengeful spirit of a bloodthirsty night wolf, which causes Bu Junshang to be affected by its resentment in every battle, making him violent and unable to control himself.

At this moment, after being cleansed by Rahu's Three Extremes, the resentful spirits and the fierce aura have all dissipated.

As the evil energy dissipated, the ground trembled once more, and a massive surge of demonic energy erupted, accompanied by a tremendous dragon roar echoing from the abyss.

With a flick of his wrist, Rahu summoned Ketu.

"Please step back, everyone."

Jidu was renowned and its prestige was known throughout the world.

The lineage leaders, including Sheng Yuchen, Hao Xingtanlong, and Chu Tianxing, hurriedly retreated to a distance of several dozen feet, staring at the broadsword that kept extending in Luo Hou's hand.

The Heaven-Shattering Star-Slaying Technique!

A blood-red blade ripped through the void, traversing heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of the heavens and carrying the strength of antiquity, slashing towards the abyss of the mountain pass.

boom!

Smoke and dust erupted, reaching the horizon, shaking the world for thousands of miles, and causing the universe to collapse.

The Chaotic God Peak collapsed completely, sand and stones filled the sky, and the Five Gods' Barrier was broken.

Immediately after the earth-shattering slash, the dragon's roar turned into a mournful cry, and suddenly, a dense demonic aura surged out of the abyss, rapidly fleeing into the distance.

"Did you leave so easily?"

Luo Hou leaped out in pursuit, swift as a shooting star, and in a few steps caught up to the demonic aura before unleashing another slash.

Tri-Pole Return to Origin Slash!

Severing the body, severing the essence, severing the soul—the ultimate strike, invincible and unbreakable.

The demonic energy that had just condensed into the shape of a dragon was instantly cleaved into a cloud of black wisps that drifted in all directions.

With this strike, a deafening scream echoed from the depths of the distant Shiliu Island—

"Roar! Ah!"

"Damn it! How dare you destroy my dragon head!"

"Evil God, why did the Dragon Head return earlier than we expected?"

"Skyward Master, this is something you should investigate!"

"Yes."

"The return of the dragon's head signifies my imminent resurrection. Where is the sacred blood I need?"

"The plan was ruined. Butterfly and his family of three did not come to Shiliu Island. According to the comrades who were lurking in the Central Plains, Butterfly and his family have gone to the Four Realms."

"Your Majesty, are you testing my patience?"

"It was my fault for not handling things properly. I will release Tan Wuyu immediately."

Luo Hou naturally knew that only the power of Blood Darkness could restrain the dragon head. Even if he couldn't kill you, he would still make you feel the pain.

A moment later, the demonic energy gathered again in the distance and drifted towards the East. Luo Hou stopped pursuing and returned to Chaos God Peak.

With the return of the dragon head, the evil aura and demonic atmosphere of Chaotic God Peak gradually disappeared, leaving only ruins.

The Divine Radiance Lord and his companions were filled with joy: "Thank you, Martial Lord, for removing this hidden danger for the Elf World."

"There is still one evil spirit among the Eight Legions of Heavenly Evil in the Elf Realm. It is unknown when it will possess an elf. You should pay close attention."

"what?"

His heart, which had just settled, jumped again. Sheng Yuchen asked urgently, "How do we find the evil spirit?"

Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Luo Hou comforted them, "There's no need to be nervous. The purpose of the Eight Legions is to release the dragon head. The dragon head of Chaos God Peak has already been released, and the evil soul will not remain in the Elf World."

Apart from the Eye of Martyrdom in the Underworld, no one has yet been able to find the evil spirit.

The one who possessed Leng Piaomiao was actually Yaksha Owl King. Since Leng Piaomiao was not dead, Yaksha Owl King could only possess an ordinary elf at will.

Furthermore, with Hao Xing Tan Long, Chu Tian Xing, and Bu Jun Shang who is about to appear, Ya Sha Xiao Wang will not be able to gain any advantage.

After making up his mind, Luo Hou said to Huang Yangjiao Su, "I have one last thing to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer. Please, Master Shouyu, accompany me to see Leng Piaomiao."

Upon hearing the honorific title of Martial Lord, Jiao Su'er stammered, "I...I will take Martial Lord there. Senior Xue Jun lives at...Ju Mang Peak."

Lord Shenhui, Sheng Yuchen, and the others bid farewell, saying, "Greetings, Martial Lord."
