Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"If you tell him, he will know."

Zonghengzi added, "We come from Tiandu, and are acting on the orders of the Martial Lord."

"Wait a moment, I will go find Mad Blade immediately."

In this year, the intermediate realm suffered greatly from the scourge of the metamorphosing beings. Although the two Daoist masters assisted in the defense, the metamorphosing beings were able to possess and disguise themselves, and both humans and the dead were harmed by them.

Furthermore, those that have undergone metamorphosis are immortal; only the Lion Head Blade of Chaotic World Mad Blade can destroy their souls.

Not long ago, the Buddha head, through the power of the resonance of the three Buddhas, cleansed the area around the capital.

Duan Junheng then moved all the people into the capital and sent Black Nineteen and other spirit controllers, along with heroes such as Shuangxiu, Kuangdao, and Yue Cangfeng, to guard the capital with strict vigilance.

This gradually stabilized the situation.

Yue Cangfeng hurriedly located Kuangdao's position, rushed over, and relayed Qiaotiangong's words.

"It was her. Thank you."

Kuangdao rushed to Xinghe Tianpu and indeed saw Yu Linling. He stepped onto the Xuange, looked her over curiously, and then greeted Zonghengzi and the other two.

"What brings you here?"

"Mad Blade..."

Yu Linling, who was always bold and decisive, blushed and her heart raced for no apparent reason, yet she greedily stared at Kuang Dao's bare chest muscles.

"What's the matter?"

“I want to remove the jewel from your lion-head sword.”

"Gemstones? Sure."

When Yu Linling forged the sword for him, she found the black peacock to be incredibly beautiful, so she casually inlaid it on the hilt.

Kuangdao immediately handed over the precious sword, and Yulinling took down the Xuan Kongque.

"Thank you, Mad Blade."

"It was originally yours, but why are you making such a big fuss about taking this gem? Is it perhaps very important?"

"This is a long story. After this battle is over, when you come to Tiandu as a guest, I will tell you the details."

Yu Linling, being cautious, subtly asked Kuangdao to go to Tiandu.

"Alright, the situation here in the intermediate realm is urgent, so I won't stay any longer. See you later."

"Well, take care."

Chaotic Blade leaped off the Xuange and returned to the Yin Realm with Yue Cangfeng, who was still in front of the Star Waterfall.

To their surprise, after taking out the gem, the Lion Head Sword could no longer destroy the souls of those undergoing metamorphosis, causing the recently calmed situation in the Underworld to descend into chaos once again.

Chapter 414 Zhao

Xuan Ge returned to Tiandu.

Yu Linling handed the three gems to Wu Jun, but then asked with concern, "Wu Jun, who do you wish to have the three hearts of the God of Light returned to you?"

“Naturally, he is a close friend of his, a Saint of the same kind who is close to the spirit of God.”

“Very well, I thank Lord Wu on behalf of the ancestors of the Xiling family.”

"I hope you will remember the ancestor of the Xiling family."

"Ok?"

Luo Hou didn't say much; everything was arranged, except for the last dragon head.

The reason for leaving the dragon head until last is because it concerns the life of a small beast. In the past, a lone desert eagle killed Yu Bian Jialuo, but unexpectedly, Yu Bian Jialuo's wife, the Wind Beast Zulong, sought revenge for him and attacked the Valley of the Wind.

The Wind Beast Ancestral Dragon was severely injured by the Desert Lone Eagle, but gave birth to a cub before dying.

After sealing the dragon's head, the lone eagle in the desert gave the golden key to Jie Hongyan, who then used a secret technique of the immortal sect to hide the golden key in the little beast's heart.

If the key is forcibly removed, the little beast's life will be in danger.

After much deliberation, Luo Hou summoned Shao Hao and Cui Luo Han and explained the situation.

"Can the eighth-grade divine power and the Jade Sword Nine Needles save the little beast's life?"

“Martial Lord, if it were just ordinary flesh embedded, I could remove the key and then treat the little beast. But because of the secret technique, I fear that the sword energy entering the body would detonate the secret technique’s energy.”

Cui Luohan dared not make any guarantees.

"Hao'er, what about you?"

“I want to first guide its life force to the rare flower. If retrieving the key causes its death, I will then infuse it with life force. This might be worth a try.”

"Then so be it."

Luo Hou led Shao Hao and Cui Luo Han to the bottom of the cliff in the Valley of the Wind.

This is a cave that has been blown by hurricanes for many years, also known as the Ancient Cave of Wind Sorrow.

Unexpectedly, after the three entered the ancient cave, they only found a pile of broken animal shells, but no trace of any animals.

"It hatched not long ago, could it have flown away?"

This little beast belongs to the Ancient Roc Wind Clan, and is born with the ability to fly. Even as a cub, it can ascend to the top of cliffs.

"They must have gone up to forage for food. The Dream Flower appears, guiding the way. Drink!"

Shao Hao used his eighth-grade divine power to search beyond the Valley of Wind, following the scent of the beast shell.

Sure enough, traces of the small beast appeared a hundred miles away, and the three of them rushed there.

A moment later, Luo Hou and his two companions appeared in a bustling market, where more than a dozen people were surrounding a young beast with two horns and two small fangs.

Some of the people kept throwing stones at the cub's head for their amusement, and the cub clutched its head and let out cries of pain.

"stop!"

Enraged, Cui Luohan unleashed several icy sword strikes into the crowd, terrifying them into fleeing for their lives.

Immediately, Cui Luohan picked up the little beast and gently patted its head: "Don't be afraid."

The three retreated back to the Valley of the Wind.

Shao Hao once again used an eighth-grade divine power to channel the life essence of the little beast into the flower, and then the spiritual energy of the flower entered his chest, drawing out a golden key.

The tearing in its chest triggered a secret technique of the immortal sect, and the little beast howled in pain.

Fortunately, the process did not last long. The moment the golden key was taken out, nine needles were inserted into the acupoints, drawing in the spirit to seal the body and quickly sewing the wound shut.

At this moment, a barrier appeared in the void, followed by a tremendous dragon roar.

Luo Hou gazed at the sky. The final moment had finally arrived. Ji Du made his move, piercing the air with a single strike.

In an instant, evil energy spread, the heavens and earth trembled, and the sky above China was filled with gloom and demonic influence. An extremely terrifying atmosphere painted the entire world as a ghostly apocalypse.

Shiliu Island.

With a burst of maniacal laughter, the returned eighth evil head restored Orochi's body completely, and a monster comparable to a medium-sized island slowly rose from the seabed.

The monster stirred up the sea, causing the entire East China Sea to churn, and a tsunami hundreds of feet high surged up on Shiliu Island.

In a short time, half of the islanders who had managed to escape the evil influence perished.

On the solitary peak, Mo Zhaonu sat alone.

The long, monstrous head of the eight-headed beast stretched all the way to Mo Zhaonu's face.

"Mo Zhaonu, considering how long you have served the evil god, I will grant you a favor: pray to the evil god for immortality."

After a long period of imprisonment, Mo Zhaonu's physical strength was extremely weak, but he maintained his elegant demeanor and serene expression.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhaonu remained unmoved: "Then I wish to see the true beginning of calamity, the origin of all evil."

"How do you understand?"

"The Eight-Headed Sermon has been recorded and studied throughout Japanese history. The eight dragons gathered together as one body may contain eight souls."

"That's just your speculation."

"But after spending this time together, you are sometimes irritable and easily angered, and sometimes calm and composed. Also, you do not always use the same terms to refer to yourselves. For example, you refer to yourself as 'this seat'."

"Oh?"

"If my guess is correct, you should be the one with the lowest status among the eight souls."

"Hmph, what are you saying!"

Enraged, the evil god unleashed a torrent of malevolent energy at Mo Zhaonu, causing him to cough up a mouthful of crimson blood.

Mo Zhaonu was already used to this. He deliberately provoked the evil god in order to find a way to divide the evil god.

Just before the greatest punishment was about to befall them, the evil god's personality shifted, and a gentle voice rang out: "Mo Zhaonu, you can return to the Central Plains now. I will let you witness how the evil god can make the people of the Central Plains grovel."

"Are you really going to let me go?"

"I'm releasing you now, but it won't be long before you return to the embrace of the evil god."

“Mo Zhaonu believes in himself, such a thing will never happen.”

"Let's go."

Mo Shinu got up and used his last bit of strength to keep walking until he reached the sea. The hurricane and the huge waves quickly swallowed him up.

The Sky-Controlling One emerged from the shadows.

"Evil God, shall we march forth immediately?"

"No rush, the evil god's game has even more exciting content to come. Celestial Master, carry out your mission as planned."

"Take orders."

Just as the Skywalker left Shiliu Island, a deafening explosion came from behind him.

The Sky Lord looked back in horror. The entire Shiliu Island was gone. Only the waves surging towards the sky, carrying countless dust particles, remained. The last tens of thousands of people were thrown into the sky by the waves and then crushed into the seabed by the receding tide.

Shiryu Island will never exist again.

As Orochi was reborn, a tremendous disturbance came from the Cloud Han Immortal Pavilion above the Immortal's feet.

Suddenly, the long-dead Tianji broke through the seal of the immortal gate and descended from the sky.
