Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

It's an illusion.

Although Liao Tian mainly focused on swordsmanship, he had been taught basic spells by Huang Quan since childhood. In addition, with the help of Shao Hao, a genius magic master, he was able to react immediately to the strange techniques of the Phantom Shadow Master.

He guarded the gates, drew his sword, and searched for the location of the array's core in this void.

Another soft laugh rang out.

"Heh, this is my forbidden land. Give up struggling, young master of Tiandu."

"What exactly is your purpose in putting on this act?"

“Clever, I do have a deal to discuss with you.”

The Phantom Master Hakusakura appeared and stood calmly in front of Liao Tian.

"Is it related to my father?"

"Young Master Tiandu is indeed quick-witted. I will help you win the championship of this World Domination Tournament, but you must tell Wu Jun to use the Chaos Five Qi to kill someone for me."

Liao Tian asked calmly, "Kill whom?"

"Kill me."

"Ok?"

Despite having made several preparations, Liao Tian was still shocked upon hearing the words of the Phantom Master Hakusakura.

"Kill you? Why?"

"Only my complete death can save Beihai Lingzhou, and the only people in the world who can kill me, besides the demonic sword connected to my bloodline, are the five chaotic energies."

Where is the Demon Sword?

“In the hands of someone I do not wish to face… my magic cannot last long. This is of utmost importance. Please grant my request, young master.”

“I have long noticed the strange phenomena in Beihai Lingzhou, but what exactly is going on? Only if the Grand Tutor tells me everything can Liaotian make a judgment. Otherwise, the Grand Tutor and I will fight to the death.”

The Phantom Master sighed: "It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you everything. In fact, I've been cursed, and I can't say the name of the instigator. But as long as I die, the people of Beihai Lingzhou will no longer be trapped in the nightmare of raising spirits."

Liao Tian naturally knew a lot about the strange phenomena in Beihai Lingzhou, but he never expected it to be related to Taifu. In any case, the information here should be reported to Tiandu as soon as possible.

Yesterday's bloody battle with the nameless immortal was a tragedy. If it weren't for the fact that their injuries had been swapped, Liao Tian knew he would already be a dead soul by now.

"Thank you for saving my life, Grand Tutor. I can grant your request, but the final decision rests with Father. I cannot influence your thoughts."

"I believe that the young master's safety will allow the Martial Lord to make the right judgment."

"please."

Immediately, a loud bang resounded, the space exploded, and the Phantom Master was thrown out of the arena.

In this duel, the young master of Tiandu emerged victorious once again.

Also victorious were Jian Chan Mi Xin, Sui Wu Duan, and Pu Yang Gua Ming. In the last group, both sides were seriously injured and had no strength to fight anymore.

After the draw, Liao Tian will face Jian Chan Mi Xin, while Sui Wu Duan will compete against Pu Yang Gua Ming.

Unexpectedly, Jian Chan Mi Xin suddenly announced his withdrawal from the competition, and Liao Tian won without a fight.

Just as Liao Tian was puzzled, Yue Xunyuan sent a telepathic message, informing him that he and Jian Chan Mi Xin were going to the Lonely Castle in the Earth Sea to find a peerless swordsman named Chang Ri Kunwu, who was also a peerless demon.

Although worried about Yue Xunyuan's safety, Liaotian calmed down and observed the battle between Sui Wuduan and Puyang Guaming, knowing that Wan Gu Chang Kong and Ya Hun were there to provide support outside the city.

Both were swordsmen; Sui Wuduan's moves were elegant and unpredictable, displaying the upright and righteous spirit of the Confucian school.

In contrast, Puyang Guaming is extremely wicked and unpredictable. He has mastered the Infinite Body Sword Technique, which uses sword fingers to lock acupoints, manipulates sand as a sword, and unleashes sword energy with a sinister and malevolent aura.

"It's perfect!"

"The Fiend of the Subdued Sword!"

Seeing his opponent's unpredictable and elusive nature, Sui Wuduan hastily unleashed the sacred technique of the Confucian school. Instantly, a vast surge of Confucian purity merged into the ethereal sword intent, sweeping across the entire North Sea Divine Palace.

The evil energy within the Puyang Widow's Sword was immediately suppressed, and it was gradually cleansed by the holy energy.

Since ancient times, good is the nemesis of evil, and evil is the calamity of good. When two people fight, it is not only a battle of swords, but also a battle of spirit, and even more so a battle between the end of good and evil.

It is said that Puyang Guaming comes from the desolate land of the sea, a place that Liaotian has never heard of. I wonder if the isolated fortress in the sea that Le Xunyuan is going to is related to it.

As Liao Tian was deep in thought, the two swords clashed together, producing a deafening sound.

Immediately, a rain of swords flew out, exploding in all directions, and everyone in the Divine Palace arena had to scatter to avoid them.

Amidst the hundreds of sword energies, a strange light suddenly flashed in Puyang Guaming's eyes. He rapidly raised two fingers together, and several invisible finger gusts, hidden within the sword energies, instantly attacked the vital acupoints of the Deep Infinity.

"Ok?"

Although Liao Tian did not practice swordsmanship, he often sparred with Ji Wuxia. Over the years, they had fought no less than a thousand times, making him particularly sensitive to sword energy. Naturally, his expression changed slightly.

"Be careful, you unexpectedly!"

Clearly, Sui Wuduan had also discovered Puyang Guaming's hidden move. In a moment of haste, he puffed out his chest, and the Ten Thousand Mouths Sky-Piercing Sword burst forth.

"Ten Thousand Swords Heavenly Peak!"

The Confucian Sword Soul, the ultimate move of the Master, the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this era, reappears in the mortal world.

After the Defeng Ancient Road was destroyed by the evil kings, the Confucian scholars secluded themselves to cultivate diligently. Su Wuduan and Jian Zhichi became of one mind and mind, and merged the five thousand Qiongxiao Piming Swords inherited from each other into one. They could summon the souls of ten thousand swords, which was almost seventy percent of the power of the Master of Destiny at his peak.

In an instant, an unparalleled sword intent that shook heaven and earth arose spontaneously, flowing like a torrent, engulfing the North Sea Divine Palace and even the North Sea Spirit Continent.

"Such powerful sword intent! Is this the Sword Scholar's Myriad Swords Heavenly Peak?"

Far away at Fuyunzhan, Yiqingtian was drawn by the sword intent and involuntarily looked towards the direction of the Divine Palace.

Inside the royal palace, Immortal Nameless also gazed at the myriad sword beams emanating from the North Sea Divine Palace, a solemn expression on his face.

"How foolish Haotian is to try to absorb the spiritual power of the top experts in the Central Plains, but he didn't expect to alert the three religions. They have all turned their attention here. This is troublesome."

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very well, a battle with Luo Hou is inevitable sooner or later. The demonic energy within the young master of Tiandu can serve as a substitute for Jun Shiyu."

The sensation was felt even hundreds of miles away, and Ji Wuxia, who was outside the Divine Palace arena, was even more shocked.

"Sword intent? Sword spirit? The way of the sword?"

If Liao Tian's swordsmanship is a miracle of sheer force, then Ji Wuxia's swordsmanship is similar, both relying on overwhelming power and brute force to win.

Upon seeing this sword intent, one's heart and mind are stirred, immersed in that wondrous insight.

boom!

As the ten thousand swords fell, the evil energy vanished without a trace. Those in the arena only saw a splash of blood like rain as Puyang Guaming fell, riddled with wounds.

Sui Wuduan won and then competed with Liao Tian for the final championship.

"The final battle of the Universe Battle will take place at midnight tomorrow. Please return to the arena to rest."

Liao Tian nodded to Sui Wuduan and walked out of the Divine Palace, where Ji Wuxia was waiting for him.

"Liaotian, you?"

"That's right, tomorrow night's opponent is none other than Sui Wuduan."

"Ten Thousand Swords Heavenly Peak is no ordinary sword technique."

Recalling the deal he made with the Phantom Master, Liao Tian said sullenly, "Wu Xia, go out of the city immediately and send the new information back to Tian Du."

"what's the message?"

"So it is...like this."

Bai Ma Qiu Shui was eliminated in the first round. Fearing that Madam Yan would worry, she returned to Qian Fei Island, which became the contact point for the people of Tian Du.

Chapter 452 Absorbing the Power of Death and Sun Using Demonic Essence as a Medium

The news from Beihai Lingzhou quickly reached Tiandu.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Jun had already taken Shao Hao to the Western Desert to deal with the Yama Ghost Prison. Ji Xiashang was really worried, so he asked Xiang Ling to drive the Broken Island Mystic Boat and come with Nan Feng Bujing overnight.

Beihai Lingzhou Palace.

The immortal's whereabouts are unknown, and he appears only in the distance.

"What are your orders, Godfather?"

"Go immediately to the Yama's Ghost Prison and request an audience with Empress Bian Tianxia. Tell her that the time has come."

"Yama's Ghost Prison?"

"Indeed, you entered through the Devouring Mouth of the Western Desert and told the Empress that you were sent by the person who made a promise with her to stand on the summit back then."

"I obey your command."

Watching Miao Miao leave the royal city, Xian Zong Wuming gave a cold smile, finally feeling that the thorn in his heart had been removed.

“My son almost died because of you. This debt has not been settled with Orochi, but you have to bear it.”

Midnight.

The perpetual snowfall at Beihai Shrine intensified the chill of the night. Above the white snow lay a deep, azure sky, and below the shrine lay an equally deep, azure ocean.

Those who were not selected, as well as most of the eliminated contestants, had already left, and there were not many people still watching the competition at this time.

The final battle of the Universe's Quest will be decided between Liao Tian, ​​the young master of Tiandu, and Sui Wuduan, the rising star of the Confucian school.

The two stood still and bowed to each other.

"Please enlighten me, young master."

"Young Master Sui, there is no need to show mercy."

Cang Er Dao and Chang Yuan Jian, one with a heroic and dashing appearance, the other with a refined and elegant demeanor, are both representative figures of the younger generation in the Bitter Realm.

The swords and blades flashed like snow, their momentum was like a rainbow, and the onlookers were greatly inspired.

"The sword of Qingdao shines through the ages!"

"Sun-Shattering Slash!"

After several life-or-death battles, Sui Wuduan gradually shed the flashy and impractical style of his single-edged sword era, absorbed the strengths of various schools of thought, and integrated the spirit of Confucianism, truly transforming his understanding of the sword into deadly moves against his enemies.

Although the initial sword strike was merely a common sword technique of the Confucian school, once unleashed, it contained the sounds of wind and thunder, its pure energy ever-changing, its light illuminating thousands of miles.

Looking at Liaotian again, he inherited the most basic sword technique of Wu Jun. His powerful force shook the heavens and the earth, and his aura swirled through the nine heavens, heading straight for the Milky Way.

The swords clashed with a deafening roar, like thunderclaps rising from the ground. The force of their impact nearly destroyed the divine palace, leaving several experts present utterly astonished.
