Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Little Moyun, lend me the register of cultivators from all generations of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. I think we should start by investigating from within the sect itself."

"Senior Brother, I will fetch it for you right away."

Just as Tianji was investigating the truth behind Xuanzun's death, a person in a coma was brought to Tiandu by the divine physician Tian Bugu.

It was precisely the moon that inspired the talented scholar, who spoke of having no desires.

Luo Hou stared at the unconscious Tan Wuyu, thinking to himself that what was bound to happen would eventually happen. With the return of the dragon head, the power of the Eight-Headed Evil God gradually awakened, and it also set its sights on Tiandu.

"Wu Jun, Fei Yu Yuan Ji and I have all treated him, but Tan Wuyu has damaged his brain and consciousness, and medicine is ineffective. He is constantly hovering between life and death."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The evil energy in Tan Wuyu's body was intentionally created by the Yamata no Orochi, so it cannot be cured by ordinary medical skills. It requires the sacred energy of the Yunhai Immortal Sect to heal it.

However, that may not be the case. Since this is a show of force by the evil god targeting Tiandu, we must accept it.

Tian Bugu sat for a moment and asked, "Why haven't I seen Young Master Xiaojian Dun?"

"He's busy with a task."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Tian Bugu thanks you for sending the medicinal herbs to Qianzhuwu over the years."

"Treating the sick and saving lives is what we should do."

After Tian Bugu left, Luo Hou invited Xiang Ling to the medical hut, saying that evil had corrupted her mind and that she should be expelled with spiritual energy.

Naturally, the south wind also arrived at the same time.

"Brother-in-law, who is this person?"

"Su Huanzhen's junior brother, the talented scholar Tan Wuyu."

Nanfeng Bujing preemptively asked, "What are you doing out here at this time, someone who has been in seclusion for so long?"

"A storm is coming. Xiangling, his brain has been damaged; please try to treat him."

"it is good."

Xiangling reached out and pressed her hand against Tan Wuyu's forehead. A pure and holy spiritual energy from the royal tree immediately entered, and a terrifying pattern suddenly appeared before Xiangling's eyes.

A massive black dragon stretched across the sky, its giant claws outstretched, circling back and forth, bringing an aura of despair and terrifying roars.

The demonic dragon devoured the sky, split the earth, overturned the seas, cleaved mountains, and set the land ablaze. Wherever it passed, it was like a black purgatory, where everything was annihilated and lifeless.

An indescribable apocalyptic scene unfolded before Xiangling's eyes, one after another.

Suddenly, the hellfire transformed into a rain of arrows, which rained down on Xiangling.

"what!"

With a scream, Xiangling felt as if her heart had been pierced and her soul devoured, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Hou quickly divided his energy into three parts and used a powerful Buddhist energy to praise Xiang Ling.

"Black Dragon... Doomsday... Destruction."

Xiangling finally broke free from the terrifying vision, withdrew from Tan Wuyu's consciousness, and collapsed into Luo Hou's arms.

"Brother-in-law, I extracted the evil energy from Tan Wuyu's brain. He will wake up soon, but what I just saw was truly terrifying!"

Chapter 388 Jiuying Comes to Demand His Children

With the sighing Evil Emperor and the silent Lone Star Tears, Nobody List returned to the Tower of Three Realms.

Not long after, shadows descended.

"Has Heaven made things difficult for you?"

Lonely Star Tears shook his head.

The Evil Emperor said with dissatisfaction, "Sitting in the lake and watching the fish for days, doesn't that count as abusing a prisoner?"

"It seems their target is only me."

"Then congratulations on your speed."

Ignoring the Evil Emperor's sarcasm, Shadow said to the three, "The Underworld has issued a new order: kill the Demon Lord and Holy Mother of the Netherworld and restart the war between the spirits and the underworld."

Lone Star Tears was startled and used the tip of his gun to draw a few words on the ground—Stop shooting!

"This time, I want to settle my long-standing grudge with the Demon Lord in a different way. Lonely Star Tear, are you willing to help me?"

"Ho."

"Then let's go to the Netherworld."

Deep within the Netherworld, the former site of the Demon Abyss of Zhu Rong, a colossal ice peak imprisons everything, while demonic flames reveal their final burning form amidst crystal clarity.

The breathtaking spectacle of ice and fire, stretching from the heavens above to the abyss below, made Shadow secretly admire the power of the Heavenly Capital.

"Blood flows like rivers, staining the land red and bones grow cold. The devil is a sinner, causing untold suffering to all living beings."

The Holy Mother Jiuying descended from the sky, coldly demanding, "Who dares to trespass into the Demon Abyss?"

Before a reply could be given, the Nine-Headed Serpent's evil eyes flashed, and the entire area around it turned into a fantastical demonic void, pulling Shadow and Lonely Star Tear into the barrier.

Faced with the demon god's oppressive aura, Shadow remained calm and fearless, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of contempt: "Heh, the Demon Lord actually sent a woman to appear; the Netherworld truly has no one left."

"Hmm? How much do you understand the saying 'trouble comes from the mouth'?"

"How much do you really understand the truth that the winner takes all?"

"To act recklessly in the Netherworld is to defy the heavens."

"Heavens? Hahaha! Demons dare to call themselves heaven!"

"Two mere people dare to oppose the Netherworld? Isn't that just arrogant and ignorant? The glorious path of the Netherworld wouldn't mind adding a couple more corpses."

"Whether it's glory or corpses, we must first overcome the shadows before we can even dream of dominance."

Nine-Headed Serpent smiled arrogantly: "Foolish. Within the Fantasy Demon Void, apart from me, anyone can only exert half of their power. You can't even protect others, let alone anyone else."

"Is that so? You underestimate Shadow too much."

As soon as the words were spoken, deathly energy filled the air, and countless puppet armies surged forth from the depths of the Netherworld, approaching the barrier.

Suddenly, a low shout came from the depths of the Netherworld: "Insolence!"

The Primordial Demon Lord made his move, unleashing a massive surge of demonic power that crushed countless puppets into dust.

Unexpectedly, the puppet did not perish after death; instead, it absorbed demonic energy and grew even stronger.

Jiuying roared in fury: "What exactly are you plotting?"

"I will hold a Heavenly Dragon War to prove whether elves or demons are worthy of being the founders of a new order in the Bitter Realm."

"Standing up for the elves, it seems you have a close relationship with them? Whoever you are, only demons have the power to rule this world. Humans and elves are only fit to be their servants."

"Verbal disputes are the behavior of women."

Shadow revealed his purpose: "This battle need not involve the innocent. Three days later, with the heavens as witness, the Netherworld will send three experts to fight our representatives in three battles over nine days at Bifang Mountain. The loser must unconditionally agree to three conditions of the other side."

"Bifang Mountain?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiuying agreed.

"The beginning of hatred should also be the end of hatred. I grant you permission. I hope you have the ability to make the Netherworld fight a decisive battle."

"Let's leave this question to the Demon Lord, hehehe."

A crack appeared in the sky, nebulae blazed like fire, and a shadow, carrying the tears of a lonely star, vanished in an instant.

The puppet soldiers then disappeared one by one.

When Jiuying returned to the Demon Forging Deep Forest, he saw that the Demon Lord was shrouded in the Six Calamities Restriction and bound by the Five Turbidities Refinement, yet he remained silent, letting the ancient evil power within the filthy land flow through his eight extraordinary meridians.

“Let’s pause for a moment. You must have sensed my conversation with Shadow just now, but besides you and me, we are still missing one person.”

The two demons each possess the source of life of extreme yang and yin. After these days of mating efforts, they have conceived a batch of demon soldiers, but it will still take some time before they can be sent to the battlefield.

"Which page of 'The Record of Demon Exorcism' have you reached?"

"Page 2."

"That is the anomaly that has not yet been released on the third page."

"Are you referring to the daughter of the Demon King?"

“That’s right, Feng Mo·Jian Shangque, the former number one on the Demon Wind Ranking, and his daughter is his only successor.”

"it is good."

Nine-Headed Serpent had a plan in mind: "In order to help your body recover immediately, I must go to Tiandu and retrieve the Infinite and Vermilion Bird Robes."

The Demon Lord licked his lips, a greedy glint in his eyes: "You shall handle this matter."

At the Tiandu Medical Clinic, Tan Wuyu slowly awoke.

The environment was unfamiliar, the people were unfamiliar, and everything around me was unfamiliar.

The talented scholar had been in seclusion for far too long, but that did not hinder his observation skills. He knew he was safe as soon as he saw the imposing man by the bedside.

He sat up: "Was it you who saved me? I am grateful for your help."

"This is Tiandu. My name is Luo Hou. Someone else saved you. I wonder why you, Yue Caizi, are so badly injured?"

Luo Hou sat down in the medical hut and listened to Tan Wuyu's extraordinary encounter. The Eight-Headed Serpent God had sent a challenge to his home, so he had to give him face.

Tan Wuyu's expression tightened, and he said urgently, "There are demons in Japan!"

"Oh?"

"The most terrifying being in the Hundred Demon Scroll possesses seven souls within its body, their energy source being the Seven Deadly Sins, which are the immense resentment of various beings stemming from the seven sins. Details are as follows..."

Tan Wuyu brought no new information.

However, Lao Tan is a useful person. His intelligence is no less than that of Su Huanzhen. Although he is more ruthless, more vicious, and more arrogant, he still stands firm on matters of right and wrong.

Now that Su Huanzhen is gone, it would be a good option to bring him out and establish his own power base, so that even the heavens would have to back down.

Luo Hou nodded and listened before exchanging information with Tan Wuyu: "Through the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, the Central Plains has learned more information... Recently, the two dragon heads have returned."

"I see."

Upon learning that Butterfly Man and his family had been safely taken away, Tan Wuyu expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
