Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"When the young master of Tiandu was born, I even drank his full-moon celebration. I never expected that in just a few years, his swordsmanship would reach such a level. He truly deserves to be the son of a martial lord."

Young Master Qing waved his fan and sighed at Huo Qingyun, who was watching the battle.

"The wealthy family of Tiandu is said to possess countless rare treasures, so it is only natural that the young master has such strength."

"Defeng Ancient Road also invested a lot of resources in the two brothers, Sui Wuduan and Mingfuzi, hoping that they could succeed Jun Fengtian and Mingfuzi."

The Phantom Master said calmly, "Noble families have always spared no effort in cultivating their children. This applies to the Heavenly Capital and the Three Teachings as well. Ultimately, those who leave their mark on history still depend on their own talent and character."

"What you say makes sense, Grand Tutor. May I ask if your extraordinary skills are also inherited from a noble family?"

Young Master Qing seemed to ask the question unintentionally.

"Heh, no one knows the origin of Young Master Qing, but the clues point to a certain famous person from the Bitter Realm."

"Hahahahaha!"

Huo Qingyun couldn't discern the hidden meaning in their words, his eyes fixed on the battle between Liao Tian and Sui Wuduan.

After dozens of moves, Liao Tian used his powerful and steady swordsmanship to counter the unpredictable and ingenious swordsmanship, demonstrating how simplicity can overcome complexity and how unchanging principles can respond to all changes.

The two sides finally fought to the last move.

"Pure ink and clean brush sweep away the dust of the world!"

This move was learned by Sui Wuduan from Mo Qingchi's swordsmanship. He absorbed the gentlemanly elegance and purity of the swordsmanship and transformed it into a sharp edge that could sweep away all obstacles and desolation.

"The Heaven-Shattering Star-Slaying Technique!"

In an instant, an unparalleled sword aura swept across the heavens and earth, piercing the stars and moon above and splitting the North Sea below, leaving a purple ravine a hundred feet wide, as if splitting the entire Bitter Realm in two.

"This is a breakthrough move of a Martial Lord!"

"I never imagined that the young master had actually mastered this move!"

"No, it's still lacking a solid foundation. Although its momentum is strong, its strength is insufficient."

"Pity."

Boom!

The sword and blade clashed once more, producing a deafening roar. The North Sea Divine Palace, which had been affected several times, finally reached its limit and collapsed with a crash, sending dust billowing hundreds of feet into the air and the icy sea breaking apart for thousands of miles.

"Uh!"

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Sui was seen being thrown into the air and landing on a patch of broken ice.

Liao Tian also coughed up blood, but he plunged the Cang Er Blade deep into the ground beneath his feet, thereby dissipating the force of their clash.

According to the competition rules, although both players were injured in this round, Sui Wuduan had already moved away from the ring, while Liao Tian was still within the ring area.

"The champion of the Universe Battle of Wonders is Liao Tian. Please invite the young master of Tiandu to the royal palace and ask me for three wishes."

From afar, the voice of City Lord Haotian could be heard from the direction of the Royal Palace, signaling the end of this grand event in the Northern Sea Spirit Continent.

"Young Master, I will accompany you to the Royal Palace."

"Thank you, Grand Secretary."

"please."

After waiting for a day, Wu Jun did not appear in Beihai Lingzhou. Bo Ying Meiying was suspicious and whispered to him as the two went to the royal palace.

Where is the Martial Lord?

"I'm sorry, Father won't be coming. He has other matters to attend to."

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

The Phantom Master escorted Liao Tian to the entrance of the royal palace and left in disappointment.

Not far away, Ji Wuxia appeared. Above her head, in the night clouds, the Giant Demon God lurked in the shadows. Wan Gu Chang Kong, Ya Hun, and Bai Ma Qiu Shui sat on the Giant Demon God's back, staring intently at the eerie royal city.

Liao Tian stepped into the royal palace of Lingzhou in the North Sea.

The place was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style. On the throne sat a majestic and domineering middle-aged man with piercing eyes, looking down upon the world.

"Meet the City Lord."

"No need for formalities. Since you've participated in the Cosmic Battle, you must have already considered what you wish to ask of me."

"Liaotian has three wishes: the blood of the true dragon, the heart of all spirits, and the essence of all spirits."

"You dare!"

Haotian's face showed anger. Only a very few people knew about the existence of these three items, and each of them was related to his great cause. Upon hearing that Liaotian was asking for these three treasures, Haotian was filled with murderous intent.

"When the city lord made his promise to the people, he did not specify that these three treasures were not among them."

Before coming to Beihai, Liao Tian had no idea what rare treasures Lingzhou had that he needed. He had not come for the treasures. However, as the conspiracy of Lingzhou gradually came to light, after discussion, the group decided to ask for these three legendary items.

"Hahahaha! Young Master, you have great courage. In that case, please follow me to the secret cave to retrieve the treasure."

Haotian stepped down from the throne and activated the formation. Instantly, a deathly dark power that could devour heaven and earth surged out from the depths of the earth. Then, the earth cracked open, revealing a slowly rotating, pale white sphere.

"The underground sun!"

“Before Death Sun, even your father had to kneel. However, the demonic energy you inherited from your father is the perfect medium for me to absorb Death Sun.”

Haotian raised his arms high, and instantly, the power of death and sunlight formed a dark prison around him.

Chapter 453 The cruel truth

Haotian, who was replaced by the nameless soul of the immortal, absorbed the power of the dead sun and trapped Liaotian inside.

Haotian's body was created by Mo Shi using Qi Taizu's blood essence, and it could not contain the full power of the Death Yang. Mo Shi's plot to obtain the near-divine body of the Heavenly Emperor had not yet been delivered. Therefore, Xian Zong Wuming thought of using Liaotian's demonic essence as a medium.

It is known throughout the world that the Martial Lord cultivated demonic energy with a human body, and his eldest son, Liaotian, inherited the demonic energy body. Liaotian's body is like a converter, transforming the surging death energy and dark energy into pure internal force suitable for the human body, which he then supplies to the immortal Wuming.

The immense power of deathly energy poured into Liao Tian's body, tearing his soul apart.

Resistance.

struggle.

Everything seemed so futile.

"Hahahaha! Young Master of Tiandu, the longer you hold on, the more power you will provide for me. Don't worry, I won't let you die easily."

Amidst triumphant laughter, Immortal Nameless enjoyed the purest and most extreme power, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, instantly climbing to the peak of the Innate Realm.

Just then, a strange power arrived, severing the connection between the power of Death and the power of the Vast Sky.

"Ok?"

Immortal Nameless once again activated his inner energy, causing the blood of the true dragon to boil and gush forth. The slowly rotating Death Sun deep in the earth was stimulated and erupted with an even more powerful Death Resentment.

Not far from here, in the rear hall of the city lord's mansion, Princess Shuangyue Miao Ruofan, her face ashen, struggled to activate the Blood Vein Heavenly Lock Curse, blood dripping continuously from her ten fingers.

This was the second time she had sensed the power of Death Sun after the Blood Vein Heavenly Lock Curse was passed on to her by the Phantom Master Hakusakura, and it was even stronger than the last time.

"puff!"

The recoil caused Miao Ruofan to spit out a mouthful of crimson blood. Without wiping it away, she channeled all her inner strength to maintain the spell.

Driven by magic, the bloodline of the royal lineage of Beihai Lingzhou and the hearts of all spirits constantly fought against the dead sun.

“Master said that if we cannot stop this terrifying power, the North Sea Spirit Continent and even the entire Bitter Realm will face a great crisis, and many people will die as a result. I must hold on!”

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Just as Miao Ruofan was about to collapse, a boundless sword intent suddenly attacked Xianzong Wuming.

The sword energy came with fierce momentum, its power capable of splitting the sky and shattering the earth, penetrating straight into the city lord's mansion and cutting a gap in the deathly aura surrounding Liao Tian.

"Liaotian!"

"Flawless!"

Despite being in extreme pain, Liao Tianjian entered without hesitation, his power multiplied, and Cang Er Dao finally seized the opportunity to strike. In an instant, a purple dragon rose up and roared through the nine heavens.

How are you?

"It's alright. This person is a menace; he cannot be allowed to live."

"Then let us eliminate the demons and uphold justice here!"

With their hearts united, their swords and blades merged, unleashing a dazzling light that slayed the nameless immortal.

"Oh? The female form of Mara, who was personally killed by Rahu, actually became Rahu's lackey. How interesting."

"What Mara female body? That's utter nonsense!"

"Since you have forgotten your true identity, why should you continue to live in this world that does not belong to you? The First Lord is merciful and will send you to see your fellow practitioners."

Having absorbed half of the power of the Dead Sun, the Nameless Immortal simply clapped his hands lightly in the face of the earth-shattering attack combining sword and blade, displaying complete ease.

Boom boom!

Two loud explosions rang out. Immortal Nameless fought against two opponents without moving, while Liao Tian was knocked away by a palm strike. Ji Wuxia rushed forward quickly, unleashing a torrent of sword moves in a continuous and aggressive attack.

Liao Tian landed on the ground, barely managing to steady himself. The repeated battles and the infusion of the power of the Death Sun had already strained his body, but how could he allow Ji Wuxia to fight alone? Without taking a breath, he dragged his sword and continued the fight.

"Uh!"

Immortal Nameless unleashed the power of Death Sun against his enemy, with unprecedented force. Before Cang Er could strike, Liao Tian was struck away by another palm, falling several feet away.

This time, the commotion at the City Lord's Mansion was even greater. The moment Cang Er Blade was drawn and the Purple Dragon roared, the Giant Demon God in the clouds roared and swooped down. Before it even hit the ground, its wings whipped up a storm, and its giant mouth spewed out lightning bolts, which struck at Immortal Nameless.

Eternal Sky, Raven Soul, and White Horse Autumn Water jumped off the back of the Giant Demon God one after another, each unleashing their ultimate techniques to surround and kill the city lord.

"Young Master, please step back for now and let us slay this demon!"

The arrival of the people from Tiandu was within Xianzong Wuming's expectations. Seeing this situation, he remained calm and composed, using one palm to block Ji Wuxia's sword and the other to deal with the three people from Wan Gu Chang Kong.

With an invincible demeanor and a fearless attitude, he showed no fear of being surrounded by numerous experts.

However, the people of Tiandu were no pushovers; their teamwork was excellent, and with the help of the Giant Demon God, the two sides were evenly matched for a time.

The battle here has reached a fever pitch. Miao Ruofan in the backyard of the city lord's mansion finally stabilized the formation and directed the power of death and sunlight back into the depths of the earth.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurried toward the royal palace.

The royal palace is now in ruins.

The appearance of Haotian that appeared before Miao Ruofan changed drastically. He was shrouded in the strange power that she feared. With his fists and palms flying, the enormous dark energy swept across the heavens and earth and devoured the world.
