Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Luo Hou waited patiently.

Xi Xueyi and Gu Su Huanjian circled the pool, observing the surroundings from time to time.

"Wu Jun, we can't see any clues. Zhang Chou Wuqi can't be brought back to life, and Gui Yu has no way to deal with him either."

"Troublesome! I want my friend resurrected, but the little scholar's life is a real headache!"

Gu Su was extremely distressed. He kicked a palm-sized rock into the pool.

Suddenly, black mist burst forth, waves surged skyward, and a giant evil dragon leaped out of the pool. Standing atop the dragon was a cold-blooded man dressed in a dark blue battle robe and wielding a black dragon-shaped spear.

"The world is in chaos, the emperor's power is supreme; black and white are lost in the void, the underworld is obeyed. Alas, the human and ghostly are fickle, heaven defies fate; he holds the sun and moon without limit, the emperor's decree is law."

Gu Su Huan Jian's spirits lifted, and he raised his sword and roared, "Finally here! Newcomer, state your name!"

"Ghost Prison Emperor's Son, Emperor Dragon's Heir, did the Three Great Terrors die at your hands?"

"Emperor Dragon's Heir? What a majestic name! Judging from your appearance, with horns on your head and riding a black dragon, could you be a demonic dragon?"

"dragon?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Di Longyin's eyes. At this moment, he was still unaware of his true identity: the son of Pangu's two guardian gods, Di Longwang and Hei Zhouyulong.

Empress Xuan Tianxia used the location of the dragon pearl on the Panlong Ancient Wall to remove the stone slab, and finally combined it with the blood from the remains of the Ghost Prison War God to create the Emperor Dragon Yin using the Blood Essence Creation Method.

However, because the Ghost Queen secretly intervened, she directly took away Emperor Longyin's light, causing his eyes to be sealed by a curse for a long time. He was imprisoned in the Thousand-Year Prison, where he was subjected to torture and training in the dark.

In order to establish the hegemony of the Ghost Clan, Emperor Longyin, along with his mount Night Wind and a massive army of millions of Ghosts, swept across the entire Underworld, defeating countless races and nations, thus earning the title of God of War.

When he defeated Ghost Prison's most powerful opponent in history, Ghost Chi Evil Lord, Ghost Prison achieved a true victory, thus consolidating the entire Yama Ghost Prison's eternal hegemony.

After this battle, both Di Longyin and Ye Feng suffered severe injuries and stayed at Zhulong Pass to recuperate. It wasn't until Jun Fengtian's ghost entered Di Longyin's body that the thousand-year curse seal on Di Longyin was broken, and his eyes were able to see the light of day again.

Although he was respectfully addressed as the young master of the emperor and the son of the empress, during his long period of recuperation, Emperor Longyin was accompanied only by a friend named Mu Yesheng. He did not know where he came from, nor did he know where the end of the war was.

"Give your lives for the three terrors!"

With a flick of his black dragon spear, Emperor Dragon Yin leaped off Night Wind's back and charged toward Gusu Returning Sword.

Swallowing the evil mouth, Emperor Longyin was ordered to go forth.

With the bearing of a king and the bearing of a war god, he treads on a dragon and looks down upon the world.

Xi Xueyi was greatly surprised: "Jun Fengtian?"

"What? He is the legendary Emperor Fengtian, the Loyal and Dedicated Man?"

Gu Su Huanjian looked at his terrifying opponent with suspicion.

"This face is unmistakable. Your Excellency, you really didn't die back then?"

"Ok?"

Emperor Longyin didn't know what the other party was talking about. He brandished his black dragon spear and fiercely attacked Gusu Huanjian.

boom!

Like a meteorite falling into a pool, stirring up three thousand black waves, the earth shook and the sky trembled, and Gu Su returned his sword and retreated several steps.

"Three moves, and I'll give you a chance to live."

"Your Excellency?"

"I am the young master of the Ghost Prison, Emperor Dragon Yin."

Gu Su Huanjian reminded him, "Xi Xueyi, his strength is no joke, don't mistake him for someone else."

"Then let's join forces and give it a try."

With Wu Jun backing her up, Xi Xueyi wasn't worried about her own safety, but she was eager to test the true nature of this person who looked just like Jun Fengtian.

Immediately, the crane's cry rose from the sword, its aura reverberating for miles around.

At the same time, Gu Su Huan Jian arrived in coordination, the two swords soaring into the sky, their momentum surging towards the Chaoyang Mountains.

Emperor Longyin raised a finger: "First move."

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled, rocks flew through the air, and the two swords sparked dazzlingly against the black spear. The three struggled continuously, and then Emperor Longyin unleashed his inner energy again, his unparalleled power surging out and knocking back Xi Xueyi and Gu Su Huanjian.

"Uh!"

"puff!"

Emperor Longyin asked coldly again, "Who killed Guyue?"

"Ok?"

"Goddess of Deathly Silence".

He stepped forward, wearing a snow-white robe: "It is I."

"That's you! Second move, Heaven's End - Ghost Prison Without Morality!"

Suddenly, Emperor Longyin's fingers slid across the black dragon spear, and a layer of blazing flames rose from the spear, instantly gathering into a purple vortex that enveloped the entire sky and earth.

"Danger! The Winged Moon at Dawn - Ballad of Vanishing Clouds!"

"Heaven does not spare the Lanting Pavilion!"

Seeing their opponent's terrifying power, Xi Xueyi and Gu Su Huanjian unleashed their ultimate moves without reservation. Instantly, their twin swords shattered the heavens and the earth, bursting forth from the vortex of dragon energy pressing down from above.

The swords surged like a raging tide, wave after wave, relentlessly rushing towards the sky.

Unexpectedly, the spear tip trembled, and an immense power, not belonging to this world, instantly arrived, shattering the sword energy.

Luo Hou stood quietly to the side watching the battle. The battle robe and black dragon spear on Di Longyin's body were formed from the blood and bones of the Prison Dragon Emperor, making them difficult to break for those below the level of a god. Although the two had amazing swordsmanship, they were powerless in the face of such absolute protection.

The second move was that Emperor Longyin, because of his elder sister's death, showed no mercy and vowed to kill Xi Xueyi.

With a clang, the Black Dragon Spear knocked away the withered pine and crane bones, and the spearhead spun downwards, piercing straight into the heart of the snow-clad woman.

Despite his own injuries, Gu Su Huanjian paused, halting his retreat, and drew his sword to save him.

boom!

The dream of returning to Suzhou also slipped from his grasp and flew away.

Seeing the gleaming spear tip thrusting towards Xi Xueyi again, Luo Hou threw a punch, striking the spearhead heavily. An even more unfathomable aura surged along the spear shaft towards Di Longyin, forcing back Gui Yuhuangshao.

"Your strength is not bad. Who are you?"

"Rahu".

"Is he the one who defeated the Eight-Headed Serpent God?"

"Indeed. Emperor Longyin, you should not stay in the Yama Ghost Prison; it is not your homeland."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Hou had no intention of revealing too much. Moreover, as the son of the Empress, who had been created by her, he would naturally not easily believe the words of outsiders before being killed by a friend who truly cared for him.

“You should go and find your origins. As Bihe said, why do you look so much like Yuming Danxin Jun Fengtian? And everyone knows that Jun Fengtian is the son of Empress Bian Tianxia and Yunhai Xianmen Jiutian Xuanzun.”

"Ok?"

This secret was revealed to the world when Jun Fengtian recognized Yu Lijing as his son at the Confucian school to protect him. However, Di Longyin, who was in the Ghost Prison, was unaware of the reason behind it.

"Jun Fengtian? I am not Jun Fengtian."

"Then who are you?"

Emperor Longyin couldn't answer, but felt inexplicably agitated. An emotion he couldn't vent made him raise the Black Dragon Spear.

"My third move is to defeat you by telling me what you know."

What if you lose?

"Emperor Longyin will no longer pursue the death of Guyue."

Luo Hou nodded: "I grant your request. Show me your strength."

"The third move is coming."

Emperor Longyin raised the Black Dragon Spear high, and the roar of a dragon could be faintly heard from the sky. The sky, which had already been bright, was suddenly filled with swirling clouds and gathering black energy, as if an unparalleled power was about to sweep across the land.

"The raging dragon breaks through the mountain, the eight dragons return to the heavens!"

As the power was fully charged, the eight phantom dragons, carrying ancient power, rushed down from the heavens, swallowing clouds and spewing mist, dominating the world.

Luo Hou remained motionless, one hand behind his back, the other gently pushing out.

Suddenly, a gale arose from his palm, instantly forming a hurricane that rushed straight to the sky. The power of the storm swept up the heavens, trapping all eight dragon phantoms within it.

"Sun-Shattering Gale!"

The two powerful forces met for the first time. One was confident and prepared, while the other was completely unprepared. Suddenly, a shocking explosion occurred, the sky shook, the mountains echoed, and the entire Devouring Longevity Maw was filled with waves that flew thousands of feet, vaguely revealing the dark ghost realm at the bottom of the pool.

In the midst of this extreme upheaval, deep within the Ghost River, in a palace nestled against the mountain and beside the water, Empress Bian Tianxia sat quietly on her throne, gazing at the battle against the Devouring Mouth through her supernatural powers.

This Lord of the Ghost Prison had red hair and wore a yellow dress. A patch of extremely bright gold flowers covered half of her jade-like face, making the other half of her face even more cold and beautiful, and even more eerie.

The goddess of death and returning to the realm of the dead, Lonely Moon, accompanies her to witness this life-or-death duel.

"An Ji, is this the person you sent a message to, the Martial Lord Luo Hou?"

"Yes, the Lord of Tiandu, a top-tier existence in the Bitter Realm who surpasses even the Innate Humans. The Eight-Headed Evil God was killed by him and Yi Ye Shu and others."

Was the death of the Eight-Faced Ghost Barbarian also related to him?

"Although it cannot be proven that he was the one who killed him, not long after Rahu entered the Western Buddhist Realm, news of the death of Qing Sui Buddha came. It is said that at that time, Rahu, Emperor Tathagata and Shakya were all in the Void Treasury."

"Hmph, those who cause trouble must not be allowed to live!"

"Yes."

Lonely Moon bowed its head and replied.

Before the world of demons, Gu Yue dared not raise her head, for doing so would be futile. She could not see through the expression beneath her mother's mask, or rather, her mother never showed any expression, whether toward her, her father, or the high-ranking officials and noble families of the Ghost Prison.

Gu Yue occasionally felt a sense of guilt towards Di Longyin during the battle. At least she knew who her parents were, and everyone except Di Longyin, who called her "elder sister," knew that he was nothing more than a killing tool created by the Empress.

When Gu Yue's true brother, Jun Fengtian, returned, she thought her mother would be moved. However, she never expected that her own son would be killed. It seemed that Bian Tianxia had planned this all along and was still proceeding with the plan to break the seal step by step.

Is this what they mean by the Three Heartbreaks?
