Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Just then, a graceful figure entered the palace where the city lord was located and went straight to Haotian's throne.

"Such strange rules, could they have been specially prepared for me?"

Haotian smiled slyly: "Heh, how could such a trivial trick be difficult for the Immortal Nameless Transformation Master? Right now, aren't you using a deceptive tactic to appear before me?"

The newcomer was none other than the nameless immortal who had been on the verge of death just moments before. The body that Yi Qingtian had carried away was merely a smokescreen.

"We are all of the same origin, why are you so eager to harm me? Haotian, how foolish you are to try so hard to replace me."

Haotian's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Don't you also harbor thoughts of devouring me? On Haotian's path to the peak, you, Immortal Nameless, are the biggest obstacle."

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the nameless immortal, and the royal palace was once again shrouded in dark energy, as cold as hell.

Chapter 448 The Struggle Between the Transformed Head and the Divided Soul

The atmosphere inside the royal palace was tense and ready to erupt.

Immortal Nameless stared intently at Haotian, but his memories drifted back to a distant past...

Not long after the birth of the Bitter Realm, the gods of the Six Heavens descended, creating all things, including humankind, and supporting Emperor Xuanyuan to become the ruler of mankind.

Unexpectedly, another human race inexplicably emerged in the Bitter Realm, called the Nine Li Witch Clan, whose leader was known as the Chi Emperor, who possessed powerful black magic.

In the struggle for supremacy among all races, humanity emerged victorious. Ultimately, the Yellow Emperor and the Chi Emperor vied for control of the world. At this critical moment, the Six Heavens intervened once again, helping the Yellow Emperor defeat the Chi Emperor and annihilate the entire Jiuli Wu tribe.

Unwilling to be executed, Chi Huang used a blood curse to infuse his boundless hatred into the body of the Yellow Emperor's wife before his death.

Xuanyuan's wife was pregnant with twins and was about to give birth. At the critical moment, the smaller child stepped forward and absorbed all of the Chihuang blood curse on his own.

The twins were born safely. The elder brother, Jun Dihong, and the younger brother, Jun Xuanyuan, co-founded the Yunhai Immortal Sect after they came of age.

As he grew older, the effects of the Chihuang Blood Curse on Jun Xuanyuan became increasingly apparent. Jun Xuanyuan's temperament gradually became extreme, with an endless pursuit of power, treating human lives as worthless, and constantly conducting all sorts of horrifying experiments.

The two brothers finally parted ways. Jun Dihong became the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable, and Jun Xuanyuan became the Origin of Ten Thousand Demons. The Mystic Venerable erased everything that the Origin of Demons had left in the Immortal Sect.

Mo Shi had learned from the Heavenly Book possessed by his elder brother that the flesh of the Canghai Leijiao (a type of shark) could grant him near-divine power and immortality. After leaving the Immortal Sect, he slaughtered the entire shark race and devoured the bodies of the sharks, causing his power to approach the point of exploding.

When he was weak, Xuanzun invited Moshi to a meeting, telling him that he could heal his body. However, when Moshi was caught off guard, Xuanzun killed him with a sword strike from the sky.

However, the demon had made preparations in advance. Although his physical body was destroyed, his soul was divided into six parts, each of which parasitized one of the six different people.

The first one is the nameless immortal, and the third one is Haotian, the city lord of Beihai Lingzhou.

"Haotian, the Primordial Lord will surely unite the six transformations and awaken anew, handing over the true dragon blood."

"Nonsense! For so many years, I have painstakingly built up my power in the Northern Sea Spirit Continent, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people to the death. I am about to succeed. Why should I hand over the blood of the true dragon? You, Immortal Nameless, have any right to demand it!"

"Only the blood of a true dragon can restrain the blood curse of the Chi Emperor. Without the blood of a true dragon, when the First Lord is reborn, he will be controlled by the blood curse of the Chi Emperor and become the second Chi Emperor."

Haotian laughed loudly: "So what? The destiny of the Origin of Ten Thousand Demons is to destroy this mortal world. I already possess the blood of the true dragon and the power of the Death Sun. As long as I obtain a near-god body, I will replace the Origin Master. No, I will be the new Origin Master."

In the six parts of the Demon Origin Soul, Haotian first plotted against the God of Doomsday, then had the Spirit King of the Northern Continent kill the God of Doomsday with the Thunder of God Slaying, and then seized the ruling power of the Spirit Continent of the Northern Sea and built the Dead Sun.

Ji Meng was sealed in the "Record of Releasing Demons" by the Demon Lord. Not long ago, an incident occurred in the Netherworld. The Immortal Nameless resurrected Jiu Ying and then had Jiu Ying open the "Release of Spirits and Demons" to release Ji Meng. At this time, Ji Meng is guarding the brain of the Demon Lord deep in the Netherworld.

He created a wicked and rebellious clan, establishing the Seven Demonic Paths to wreak havoc on the martial arts world.

Feng Jiyue hides in the Prison of the Universe, waiting for an opportunity to seize the near-divine body of Emperor Tianyao.

Aside from the missing sixth incarnation, the whereabouts of the head incarnation, Immortal Nameless, are the only mystery among the five incarnations. For thousands of years, there has been no contact between the incarnations. Now, Immortal Nameless has suddenly appeared in the Northern Sea Spirit Continent and is demanding the blood of the True Dragon from Haotian. How could Haotian possibly agree?

The blood of the true dragon can not only counteract the blood curse of the Chi Emperor, but is also a prerequisite for absorbing the power of the Death Sun. Handing over the blood of the true dragon means handing over control of the power of the Death Sun.

A fierce glint flashed in Haotian's eyes, and his killing intent arose instantly.

Immortal Nameless did the same; without hesitation, he lightly waved his arm, and the Immortal Dragon Heavenly Sword fiercely attacked Haotian.

This was not the first time the two had fought, so there was no need to test each other's strength. They both unleashed their inner energy and simultaneously unleashed extremely ruthless techniques.

"Celestial Dragon Heavenly Sword - Mysterious Dragon Journey!"

"The wind and rain rage, the river surges, kill!"

With a deep shout, two figures moved in an instant, causing the wind and clouds to turn upside down, the heavens and earth to be reversed, ghosts and gods to be terrified, and space to tremble.

Immortal Nameless is the leader of all transformations. He inherited the immortal martial arts of the Demon Origin. When he makes a move, he exudes immortal energy and spiritual power. His jade sword transforms into a dragon and travels through the sky. The immortal wind blows and waves shake the nine provinces.

On the other side, the vast demonic energy stirred up boundless dust waves and countless turbulent waves, which surged and piled up towards the nameless immortal.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the two beings reunited, their extremes clashing, and the shockwave shattered the royal palace, creating a hundred-foot-high wave in the city lord's mansion.

"puff!"

Haotian was severely injured and vomited a mouthful of crimson blood.

Before Haotian could gain a foothold, Immortal Nameless attacked again, unleashing a series of deadly moves. In the blink of an eye, the jade sword arrived, aiming for Haotian's heart.

Despite suffering a severe blow, it only fueled the ferocity of the Demonic Primordial Soul. Haotian raised his arms high and coldly snorted, "To take my life, you must unleash your true power. Take this!"

Suddenly, a ghastly green dark energy surged from the ground beneath the royal palace, penetrating Haotian's palms. In an instant, Haotian not only fully recovered from his injuries, but his power also increased several times over, making him seem like the number one person in the world.

"Ok?"

The burst of dark energy formed a dense wall of energy, blocking the sword energy outside Haotian's body.

"Before death, all is powerless."

The tide of battle turned again, and Immortal Nameless was furious. He swung his jade sword and unleashed the Immortal Sect's ultimate technique, attempting to sever the connection between Haotian and Siyang.

However, even the mighty Immortal Sword was ineffective, and even the powerful Hua Shou was helpless.

A sinister smile appeared on Haotian's face, and his power surged tenfold... a hundredfold, with boundless demonic might and supreme dark energy forming several huge vortexes of death above the city lord's mansion.

"Immortal Traces Without Name, are you surprised? I have too many trump cards. You delivered yourself to my door to die. Now, let me devour the Transformation Head and condense the strongest fragment of the Origin Master's soul."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian raised his palm to the sky, spread his five fingers, and clenched them in mid-air. Instantly, a peerless divine sword appeared, which was his supreme killing move - the Sword Heart Sword.

As the sharp edge suddenly appeared, the entire North Sea sky seemed to be torn apart, and the unparalleled sword energy roared through the air, as if it wanted to cut down everything.

Faced with Haotian's counterattack, Immortal Nameless showed no fear as one might expect. Instead, he raised his head and laughed, "Very good. Thank you for refining this supreme power of death and sun for the First Master. The First Master will remember that there was once a fragment of your soul."

Amidst the greedy laughter, a strange and inexplicable pressure emanated from the body and instantly surged into Haotian's body.

Haotian's soul was struck hard, his heart pounded, and intense pain surged through his mind. His body seemed to be slowly drifting away from him.

"What's going on?"

"Let me tell you, Immortal Nameless is not only the head of the Six Souls, but also the soul of the Primordial Lord himself. Haotian, you are just a mere remnant soul, yet you dare to attempt to overthrow the Primordial Lord. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. How laughable."

"no!"

Amidst a mournful cry, Haotian's divine soul changed hands, and a thousand years of effort were all lost to the Demon Lord.

Chapter 449 Spirit Control and Catalysts in the Northern Continent

The tremendous disturbance at the King's Palace in Lingzhou, Beihai, awakened many people.

Princess Shuangyue rushed into the royal palace, and soon, Grand Tutor Bo Ying Meiying, Imperial Preceptor Wu Xiang, and Miao Miao arrived.

The nameless immortal who had devoured Haotian's fragmented soul still retained Haotian's appearance, sitting nonchalantly on the throne, recounting to everyone how he had killed the thief who had broken in.

"Father, you were assassinated twice. What exactly happened?"

Princess Shuangyue asked anxiously.

Immortal Nameless glanced coldly at Bo Ying Mei Ying Shi and Wu Jia Xiang, his tone becoming stern: "Recently, the royal city has been in turmoil, and I would like to hear the explanations from the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister."

Taifu Hakuo Phantom Master is known as the right-hand man of the nation and is Haotian's most capable subordinate. It is said that Taifu is proficient in Japanese magic, summoning evil spirits, and Qimen Dunjia, but the people of Beihai Lingzhou have rarely seen him make a move.

Hearing that the Heavenly Emperor would punish him, the Shadow Master of the Blossom Pavilion showed no fear on her androgynous face, instead calmly saying:

"Your Majesty, all the contestants' actions were under the control of me and the Prime Minister. I never expected that some would slip through the net and offend Your Majesty. This is my dereliction of duty. However, the villains have overestimated their abilities and come to their deaths, which is a good opportunity to spread Your Majesty's might throughout the world."

"Really? What's your opinion, Miaomiao?"

Haotian suddenly asked Miaomiao, "The affairs of the court in Beihai Lingzhou have always been handled by the Grand Assistant and the Prime Minister, but recently, Haotian has entrusted Miaomiao with the security work alone."

I am ashamed that I cannot match the composure of the Phantom Master of the Cherry Blossom.

"It was Miaomiao's oversight; please punish her, Godfather."

Haotian stared at Miaomiao for a moment, his expression gradually softening.

"I will set aside your mistakes for now. As long as you achieve final victory in the Battle of the Universe, I can overlook the mistake of letting the thieves break in."

"Thank you, Godfather! Miaomiao will fight to the death to bring glory to Lingzhou!"

"I expect you to redeem yourself through meritorious service. It's getting late, my beloved ministers, you may all step down."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Princess Shuangyue was about to say something more, but was pulled away by the Phantom Master Bo Ying.

Watching the four depart, Immortal Nameless's face showed deep thought. Haotian's adopted son and daughter were truly interesting. Miao Ruofan was a true royal descendant of the North Sea Spirit Continent, and her blood was the best catalyst for nurturing spirits in the North Sea.

The most important ingredient in the health-enhancing pills distributed to the people of the royal city is the royal blood of Miao Ruofan.

Miao Miao has a deep connection with the First Lord.

"Damn it! Those evil creatures I despise!"

The descendants of Guhuo Yu possess special Yin-Yang power. Back then, Jun Xuanyuan deliberately approached Huaxiao Chaowu, and the two had a daughter, Jun Shiyu, after they were together.

Legend has it that if the descendants of the Guhuo Feathered Ones reproduce with humans, the fetus will die in the womb. Conversely, if they conceive a seed of evil, there is a high possibility that an extraordinary being that will terrify the world will be born.

Because of the Chi Emperor's Blood Curse, Jun Xuanyuan could no longer be considered a pure human. His son, Jun Shiyu, born with Hua Xiao Zhaowu, indeed continued this Yin-Yang power and surpassed his father.

Jun Xuanyuan nurtured Jun Shiyu with great effort, enabling his daughter to possess powerful magic and strength. Later, he arranged for Jun Shiyu to intentionally approach someone from the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, who was none other than the former Sword Phoenix Yiqingtian.

Influenced by Jun Shiyu, Yi Qingtian made a blood oath with the demonic sword formed from Jun Xuanyuan's arm, becoming the master of the demonic sword. This caused Yi Qingtian to become a sinner of the immortal sect and was even expelled from the Yunhai Immortal Sect by the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable.

Yi Qingtian committed suicide as a result.

Overwhelmed with remorse, Jun Shiyu used a heaven-defying magic technique to exchange his life for Yi Qingtian's, thus saving her life before facing his own demise.

Unable to accept the tragic death of her beloved daughter, Hua Xiao Chaowu broke ties with Jun Xuanyuan. Jun Xuanyuan originally intended to kill her, but then discovered that his wife was carrying another life. Therefore, he erased Hua Xiao Chaowu's memory and returned her to the Tree of Immortality.

The Eight-Headed Serpent God also took a liking to the special physique of the Ubume descendants and sent the Two Evil Kings to the Tree of Immortality to carry out the Evil Seed Project.

Halfway through the plan, the Battle of Shiryu Island broke out. The Eight-Headed Evil God was sealed away, and four members of the Heavenly Evil Clan died in battle. Afterwards, Hanayo Asagiri was rescued by the Nine Heavens Mystic Venerable and brought back to the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, becoming Yun Kui·Jie Hongyan.

Because of the evil seed entering his body, Jun Xuanyuan and Jie Hongyan's son, Wei Meng, coexisted with the unknown evil seed, Baqi.
