Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"If I could see you and Suzaku, I believe the Demon Lord would be even better off."

Knowing that if Jiuying wins this battle, the Netherworld will have captured two cities and obtained the Heavenly Dragon Proof, but Wuxian cannot retreat.

"Holy Mother, please forgive my boundless filial impiety, my boundless sorrow and darkness!"

The Demonic Harp appeared in the world, and the Demonic Harp was grasped in his hand with endless spinning movements, playing a helpless and sorrowful tune.

In an instant, the world darkened, gloomy clouds filled the sky, the dead shed tears, and Bi Shanfang was immersed in the pain and sorrow of a thousand-year war.

He wasn't absolutely certain he could defeat the Holy Mother, but he believed that upon hearing news of the Vermilion Bird Robe, she would abandon the battle, for nothing was more important than the Vermilion Bird Robe's life.

As expected, Jiuying raised both palms high, unleashing a surge of demonic energy, yet the immense force gently descended.

Bang!

As soon as the mother and son engaged in combat, Jiuying vomited blood and retreated.

"Holy Mother!"

"I am unharmed. Take back the Vermilion Bird Robe."

"Thank you, Holy Mother."

The second round of the Heavenly Dragon's Proof ended hastily. Jian Langya, who was watching from the sidelines, was furious. He drew his sword and stepped forward, coldly facing Wuxian.

"You are not qualified to be a prince of the Netherworld."

"you are?"

"You are not worthy to know my name."

Unwilling to say more, Wuxian hurriedly left Bifang Mountain and followed Anying back to the Dark Realm.

"It's time to fulfill your promise."

"Pleasant to work with."

Shadow leaped forward, removed the Vermilion Bird Robe from the chains of the Rift Beast, and slapped it awake.

"Stinky cocoon, stinky beyond measure, come save me!"

His arrogant attitude remained unchanged, and although he was scolded, it made Wuxian feel that it was the most beautiful sound in the world.

He took the Vermilion Bird Robe and carried it on his shoulder.

"Farewell."

The shadows opened a passage, allowing the brother and sister to leave.

The starry sky was clear and bright, with the moon shining above it, and the night breeze was gentle and lingering.

"Stinky Infinite, where are we going?"

"Back in the Netherworld, I saw the Holy Mother; she was waiting for us."

"really?"

"real."

The journey home was smooth, and they soon arrived at the dilapidated Netherworld Cave, where Jiuying was waiting in front of it.

"Holy Mother, I miss you so much!"

Zhu Queyi jumped off Wuxian and rushed into Jiuying's arms.

"Your mother misses you very much."

Jiuying stroked Zhuque's clothes, greedily inhaling the fragrance in her hair, and couldn't help but smile.

"How did the Netherworld become like this? And where is the Demon Lord?"

"Your mother will take you to see him."

"Father, Mother, our family is finally reunited! You stinky Wuxian, get out of here!"

Deep within the Netherworld lies the heart of demon-forging.

Five thick chains tightly bound the Primordial Demon Lord, and the Five Evils and Six Calamities Restriction left shocking wounds on his body.

Although his body was covered in blood and gore, it exuded an awe-inspiring and unparalleled domineering aura.

"It's Father!"

Zhu Queyi excitedly rushed over, then tenderly used her sleeve to wipe the bloodstains off the Demon Lord's body.

"Yi'er, your father has been waiting for you for a long time."

The usually stern and unsmiling Demon Lord suddenly smiled broadly, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable smile.

For some reason, Wuxian's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable fear rose up for no reason.

"wrong!"

At that moment, Jiuying activated the Holy Clan's spiritual body resonance, and Wuxian and Zhuqueyi were immediately unable to move.

"Ah! How could this be?"

"Holy Mother?"

Jiuying sneered, "For the continuation of life, for the great cause of the Netherworld, when forced to, I need to make a painful decision."

He then struck the Vermilion Bird Robe with a palm strike, sending it crashing into the Demon Lord.

With a snap, the Five Turbid Chains flew out and tightly locked the Vermilion Bird Robe.

In a cruel moment, a horrifying turn of events occurred: the Demon Lord began to devour the Vermilion Bird Robe.

"what!"

"Little sister! No!"

Wuxian could hardly believe what he was seeing, but the Resonance Technique rendered him unable to move. In utter despair, he watched as the Vermilion Bird Robe disappeared bit by bit.

"That's not how it works!"

Nine-Headed Serpent raised his palm again: "The value of the Holy Race lies in sacrifice. It's your turn now, my infinite son, drink!"

Anger! Pain! Despair!

Utterly despondent! Yet unwilling to die!

Unleashing the purest essence of demonic blood, his eyes suddenly snapped open, and two extreme flames shot out from the gushing blood, instantly breaking through the resonance spell and dodging the Nine-Headed Serpent's fatal palm strike.

hiss!

The combined force of the Nine Limitless Palms tore off one of Wuxian's arms.

The intense pain and hatred brought Wuxian back to his senses, and he rushed out of the Netherworld without hesitation.

Live! You must live! Only by living can you avenge my little sister!

Jiuying never expected that Wuxian could break free. She pursued relentlessly, not wanting to let go of her prey that she had caught.

A moment later, the Nine-Headed Serpent chased after them to within a few feet of the ground's edge.

"Nine Limits - Slaying the Sun and Shattering the Heavens!"

Just when his life was in imminent danger, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, waving the Ghostly Staff to block the Nine-Headed Serpent's deadly palm.

"The road to Fengdu is a martyr's path, where heroes are buried in the wilderness. Heaven is silent, earth is speechless, and mortals do not regard humanity as the lowest of the low. The end times are here, and there is no theism."

"The Dark Realm of the Three Vehicles of Xuanhuang?"

"The Holy Mother and the Nine Infants, though infinitely dazzling, still have value."

Outside the Netherworld, Di Ming arrived and, without delay, blocked Jiu Ying. He then swung a palm, knocking the heavily injured Wu Xian unconscious.

"Just tell me straight, what's your purpose?"

"Transactions should be based on sincerity and mutual benefit. This generous gift from Xuanzhe can help the Netherworld rise again."

"Oh?"

"It would be of no benefit for the Demon Lord to swallow Infinity at this time, because the source of life within the Demon Lord's body has been tampered with by Tianji, and Xuanzhe can help the Demon Lord remove Tianji's secret technique."

Upon hearing this, Jiuying remained outwardly calm despite the turmoil within her heart.

"So what do you want?"

"Infinite eyes".

"Ok?"

"The Eye of the Beginning of Demons, which is imbued with infinite power, is actually the Eye of the Future. This eye originated from the Dark Abyss and has the ability to briefly foresee the future. When combined with the Thirteen Diviners of the Celestial Dome, it can reveal the complete prophecy of the Apocalypse."

"Keep talking."

“Long ago, the founders of the Dao, Xuanzun, Daohuang, Zunfo, and Huangru, who were the four pinnacles of their time, jointly comprehended the mysteries of the Netherworld. When the Demon King learned of this, he wanted to cultivate together with them but was refused. Not long after, the Eye of the Future was stolen.”

“What you are saying now is a very serious accusation.”

"Believe it or not, I have no interest in how the Eye of the Future was transferred to Infinity, but you have to make a choice now."

Having been resurrected by the Demon Lord, Jiuying was well aware of the Demon Lord's Eye. However, facing the formidable enemy Diming, Jiuying hesitated.

Even if he loses his eyes, Infinity can still help the Demon Lord recover his power.

But if what Di Ming said is true, and the Demon Lord's life source was tampered with by Tian Ji, and the secret techniques of the Immortal Sect are beyond his ability to unravel, then it seems more worthwhile to eliminate his worries through Di Ming.

"The deal is done."

Di Ming smiled slightly and bent down to take the Infinite Eyes.

Just then, an angry shout rang out: "Stop!"

Black and white chess pieces flew through the air like a rain of fire, and amidst the black and white pieces, a massive blade of energy slashed towards the underworld.

Di Ming stepped back several paces and swung his staff to block, but sensed that the blade's energy was extraordinary.

"That's interesting."

The visitors were Zonghengzi and Duanmie Chanti.

After finishing his official duties, Duanmie Chanti learned that the Wuxian siblings had left the Wanmo Prison Sea two days ago. Remembering Wujun's instructions, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly returned to Tiandu to report.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jun led his men to Daowu King Valley.

Just then, Zonghengzi recovered from his injuries and returned. The two rushed to the Netherworld and witnessed this tragic scene.
