Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Then, like a white bird with broken wings, it fell into the abyss.

"Pingqiu!"

In that moment of despair, a figure swept past Yin Xiaoshen, swooped down the cliff like the wind, embraced Luo Pingqiu, and then spiraled upwards like the wind.

"Bian Yu Ling Jue, drink!"

Amidst countless black and white feathers, Xiao Jiandun rode the wind with his feet, gracefully flying, and when he approached Yin Xiaoshen, he pulled him up the cliff together.

"Pingqiu, Pingqiu, how are you?"

Xiao Jiandun placed Luo Pingqiu into Yin Xiaoshen's arms: "The severed wrist needs to be treated. Why don't you take him back to the Confucian school first, and we will take over this place."

"Thank you, Lijing, let's go."

"Your Excellency, please head towards Wenfeng Valley first. Your Majesty and the others will be waiting for you five hundred miles ahead."

Without thinking twice, Yin Xiaoshen picked up Luo Pingqiu and left.

After withdrawing his sword, Yu Li retreated and watched the battle between Ji Xiashang and Fu Zixi. Xiao Jiandun then joined the siege of the Eight Banners Martial God.

With two swords in hand, he flew swiftly, his sword light vast and boundless, pure and holy, while white bones stood out eerily and malevolent energy surged forth.

"Eight Mysterious Dances - Soul-Snatching Demon Blade!"

Fu Xi borrowed the power of the evil god again, and the bone fan in his hand instantly transformed into a sharp blade, unleashing an extremely evil attack.

"Sending the sword to Lingyu, offering sacrifice to the cold wind, the north wind blows the sword, white as glass!"

Suddenly, Ji Xiashang changed his moves, and the wind turned into cold rain and snow, which actually condensed Fu Zixi's body into ice.

It was another earth-shattering clash. Evil energy broke through the ice and frost, and Fu Zixi's figure flashed and was about to disappear.

Unexpectedly, a pure sword intent suddenly appeared, carrying the sacred energy of Confucianism, and pierced straight into the body of the Ghost Dragon King.

"A single stroke of rainbow spans a thousand autumns!"

Pfft!

"My son, you?"

The sword entered the ghost's body, and holy energy overflowed, constantly impacting Fu Zixi's cultivation.

"Father, the world has been plunged into chaos and ruin because of the evil god Yamata no Yama. Stop now."

"So, my son, you're going to put righteousness above family ties?"

“If it weren’t for the Eight Legions of Heavenly Evil, how could Venerable Fa Ru have made such a tragic sacrifice? Yu Li Jing will send you all to hell.”

"Very good, very good... Hahahaha!"

Amidst a string of sorrowful laughter, Fu Zixi's lingering gaze remained reluctant; the bond between father and son had finally come to an end.

Chapter 423 The Three Lights, Four Elements, and Five Qi: Exorcising Evil! (Part 1)

From Shiliu Island, we arrived in Shenzhou and landed at the shore of Huaiwei.

Three days ago, Luo Hou, Yi Ye Shu, Shao Hao, Fo Shou, and Cang arrived at this place and set up a trap to ambush the evil god who was about to land.

The sky was clear and the sea was calm. In the midst of this peaceful scene, an eerie atmosphere suddenly arose, the sea churned and the waves crashed against the sky.

"Hoohoho!"

A sea monster resembling a Kui bull emerged from the waves, its voice as firm as a rock, its eyes bloodshot.

"finally come."

Centered on the banks of the Huai River, with Huangtian Peak on the left and Wuya Ridge on the right, a thousand-mile defense line is formed together.

At the same time, a giant innate Tai Chi Bagua formation was set up.

Each of the five guarded a distance of two hundred li, so no matter where the Yamata no Orochi came ashore, it would disturb the formation, and they were not afraid that it would escape.

The siren's disturbance occurred within the defensive territory of Yi Ye Shu.

Sensing the unusual activity, Luo Hou, who was in the center providing support, rushed over at top speed.

"This is a subordinate of the Yamata no Orochi, a demon from the Hundred Demons Scroll of the East, named Yitao Haixie."

"Strange, why did Orochi's evil power disappear without a trace after the destruction of Shiryu Island?"

"It seems that Orochi intended to use the Nine Transformations Demoness and the Heavenly Evil Kings as his vanguard, so that he could reap the benefits. Therefore, he hid himself in the shadows."

Yi Ye Shu nodded: "That makes sense. Let's eliminate this sea monster first."

When it comes to vanquishing demons and monsters, Yi Ye Shu never hesitates to step up. He unleashed the Great Brahma Palm in an instant, striking the sea monster that was raging in the waves.

The boundless Buddhist spirit spreads throughout the East China Sea and illuminates the world.

"Ho ho ho ho ho!"

Unexpectedly, as the deadly attack struck his body, the monstrous sea monster howled in alarm, only to see the seawater condense and reshape its body.

Immediately, the siren slammed its two front claws down, creating towering waves, and then opened its blood-red maw full of fangs, spewing out a torrent of water.

A massive surge of demonic energy, combined with the power of an evil god, crashed down upon Yi Ye Shu.

Seeing this, Yi Ye Shu pondered, "Could it be that this demon has no physical form, but merely uses this sea as its body?"

"It must have a core, or a power at work."

As Luo Hou answered, Yi Ye Shu swept his whisk with great force, unleashing boundless Buddhist power towards the sea monster's heart.

boom!

The demon and Buddha's energies surged forth, instantly creating a hundred-foot-high tsunami on the banks of the Huai River, with giant waves surging all around.

Yitao Haixie was once again reduced to nothingness by the power of Buddha.

"With a demonic heart here, a single breath can shake mountains and rivers!"

Just as Yitao Haixie was reshaping his damaged body, Yiye Shu noticed the flaw and immediately unleashed his surging true power, connecting with the heavenly Buddha light and awe-inspiring righteousness, merging them into an irresistible force, striking out the demon's heart with a single palm strike.

"Roar!"

With its demonic heart expelled from its body, the siren's form could no longer be formed.

With a backhand flick of his wrist, Yi Ye Shu unleashed the dazzling power of San Heng Zhao Shi, piercing the demon's heart with overwhelming force.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's power purified the world, and demons departed their souls.

The sea gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Luo Hou laughed and said, "Brahma, the sea monster was killed too quickly, which may have alerted the evil spirits, and Orochi will not come ashore again."

“Then I will move Yundu Mountain to the banks of the Huai River.”

"Haha, the benevolent find joy in mountains, the wise find joy in water, Brahma truly deserves to be called a man of both literary and martial talents."

"If one is proficient in both literature and martial arts, Brahma is far inferior to the Martial Lord."

"Brahma is being modest."

Over the course of three days, the group split up to patrol the coastal defenses. They finally managed to witness the sea monsters causing trouble, but it turned out to be just an appetizer, which was rather disappointing.

Just as Luo Hou and Yi Ye Shu were praising each other, the formation three hundred miles away was triggered.

Shao Hao stood up without making a sound. He saw a dark brown, eight-headed, two-winged monster silently emerge from the Tai Chi Bagua formation that the String Master had carefully arranged, and it was using brute force to slash at the formation's core.

This formation uses the Bagua diagram in conjunction with the movement of the heavens, and is arranged in three different directions: clockwise, counterclockwise, and clockwise. Those who want to pass the test must determine the arrangement of the three circular seals and choose the direction according to their own martial arts attributes in order to enter the central Taiji diagram seal.

The only drawback is that the person setting up the formation must be inside it to achieve maximum effectiveness.

The formation did not last long. An ancient, primordial energy swirled within the formation, breaking through its core at an almost corrosive speed. The eight-headed serpentine body stepped out and onto the coastline.

Shao Hao's spirits lifted, and he looked up at the enormous beast, which was hundreds of feet tall and several miles long. In addition to its terrifying nine heads, it also had a short, hard tail. Its grayish-brown skin had a metallic sheen, as if it were impervious to swords and blades.

The eight heads and nine bodies shook incessantly, looking down at Shao Hao with their heterochromatic eyes revealing their disdain for humanity.

Suddenly, the giant beast spoke, uttering a difficult and awkward language of the Bitter Realm: "Who is Rahu?"

The giant snake speaking was exactly what Shao Hao had expected.

"If you are grateful to your adoptive father for releasing you, there is no need for that, because your adoptive father released you only to kill you completely."

"Hahaha! Arrogant human, you have successfully piqued the interest of the evil god."

"Do I need the interest of an evil god?"

The two-headed evil god's eyes flashed and then closed again, replaced by a more normal voice saying:

“You have a strong aura of death on you. I didn’t expect that the Grim Reaper would have a backup plan in the Bitter Realm. This is truly unexpected.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied, "I have nothing to do with the Grim Reaper."

"Ha, if I kill you, I wonder what Death will think. Yu Lan is looking forward to his expression."

"Too talkative."

After listening to his rambling for a long time, Shao Hao became impatient. He unleashed his palm power, and his vast divine energy swept down, striking directly at the top of the evil god's head.

But the evil god neither dodged nor avoided it; a thick layer of demonic aura formed a protective shield, allowing the powerful force to strike down with its palm.

"I never imagined that Death, one of the Four Dark Demons, would possess pure Celestial blood. Whose son are you, really? Interesting."

boom!

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the protective shield flickered repeatedly. Just as it was about to break, a dark light flashed across Orochi's chest, and he transformed into a different personality.

"At such a young age, his foundation is already quite solid."

When the extremes meet, they stir up wind and clouds, and create enormous waves. Even the mighty god of the land of the dead has to retreat several steps.

Hearing a voice so different from before, Shao Hao frowned: "And who are you?"

"I am the King of Death! Now, receive my Whirlwind Blade of Death! Hahahaha!"

"You call yourselves Yamata no Orochi, are you perhaps composed of eight souls?"

"You're quite insightful, kid, but you're still going to die. Drink!"

Amidst his arrogant laughter, the King of Death unleashed his ultimate technique, transforming the Great Transformation Qi Cyclone into a blade, harnessing the power of the apocalypse to cleave through the heavens and the eight wastelands.

"Death God Protector!"

Two massive, jet-black scythes emerged to meet the attack, colliding in mid-air. The immense death energy transformed into an indestructible barrier, keeping the spinning blades three feet away.
