Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Although the Drunken Yellow Dragon did not know the purpose of spitting it out, it still transformed into a royal dragon, soared into the clouds, and spat out the body of the demon tower that it had devoured.

The piece of meat was absorbed by the tower and instantly fused together.

"Ugh~ Hoo~ Ah!"

The purified piece of meat still retained traces of the imperial dragon's aura, like a drop of water falling into boiling water, scalding the entire demon world and causing screams of agony.

Luo Hou pondered to himself, "The purification of evil energy is excellent, but how can I make this demon tower into a smaller version?"

After looking up and gazing for a long time, I still couldn't find a suitable solution, so I had to give up.

"Let's go back to Tiandu."

After Luo Hou and Zuiyin Huanglong returned to Tiandu, Fengxiu Master blocked Fuyingzhai.

Beneath the six-petaled bronze pillar, Fengxiu coldly watched the cherry blossoms drifting down from the clouds.

"I didn't expect you had to buy your fishing rod from Jijing."

"Fengxiu, were you following me?"

"And you, too, have you ever not followed Fengxiu?"

Master Fuying's expression changed rapidly. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't hide his inherent arrogance and ultimately let out a sigh.

"You already know everything..."

"Marquis of Triumph, one of the Three Dukes of the Fire House and the Buddha Prison, when you went to the Gathering Realm, with whom did you make what kind of deal?"

"You shall not be allowed to disrupt the work of the Fire House Buddhist Prison."

Upon hearing his confession, Fengxiu burst into sorrowful laughter: "Hahaha, my friend Fuying, am I too easily deceived?"

A century of close friendship was nothing more than a calculated approach.

Fengxiu was furious.

With a flick of his purple fan, an unparalleled martial arts technique shook the heavens and earth: "Rather than let you die at the hands of others, Fu Ying, let Feng Xiu send you on your final journey!"

"Fu Ying thinks the same way. If you die in the Bitter Realm, I will send your body back to the Tower of Compassion."

Red maple leaves flutter in the wind, and cherry blossoms fill the sky with snow.

A merciless war raged between the two.

This battle trampled on friendship, cost lives, upheld justice, and remained steadfast in its mission.

Chapter 76 Seeking Aid from the Gathering Realm

Six-petaled snowflakes drift in the air, while the merciless flames of war rage on.

Perhaps betrayal in friendship is more hateful than hostile stances.

Fengxiu's heart is aching.

I hate it.

Therefore, his actions were more ruthless than ever before. At this moment, he no longer concealed his cultivation level and unleashed the ultimate techniques of the Immortal Ascension Path with all his might.

Stepping on the steps of Yu, touching the vast emptiness, opening the gate of Dharma, dancing in the autumn wind.

"Vermilion Bird Edict: Separating Fire to Open Heaven!"

Instantly, the crimson maple leaves transformed into countless pieces of fiery flames, and a phoenix, reborn from the ashes, emerged with a clear cry, its enormous wings enveloping the cherry blossoms.

The snow cherry blossoms turned to ashes in the fire.

"Today I have the honor of witnessing the martial arts of the Immortal Path. It truly lives up to its reputation as the instigator of the four realms' shared crime! Hah!"

With a deep shout, Fu Ying spun around, her pink clothes fading into a black feather cloak, revealing black hair, a green scarf, a cold expression, and a strange tattoo below her left eye.

It was his ruthless and triumphant lord.

"So this is your true face, Marquis of Triumph!"

With a flick of his wrists, the Triumphant Marquis unleashed a torrent of demonic energy, employing a completely different technique.

"Demon Chi Shatters the Essence!"

The unique Buddhist prison technique is a departure from the previous cherry blossom display.

The surging demonic tide displayed immense power, extinguishing the Fire Phoenix in just a few breaths.

Then, turning defense into offense, extreme demonic energy circulated, bringing forth countless killing intents.

"Curse the world, you vile demon, drink!"

The demonic energy returned, and the eerie atmosphere enveloped the entire Six-Petaled Misty Land, turning day into night. Various walking corpses and hungry ghosts crawled out, seemingly ready to devour anyone they could find.

Fengxiu's robes fluttered, his feather fan was tossed into the air, his legs were intertwined, as if he were sitting or kneeling, and he then unleashed his unparalleled magic.

"Heaven heeds my decree! Dragon God, summon me swiftly! Hah!"

In an instant, a black dragon appeared, wagging its head and tail, stirring up wind and clouds, and showering down a thousand drops of sweet dew.

In the blink of an eye, the demons vanished and the rain stopped, and both sides retreated after a brief encounter.

After several consecutive exchanges, neither side could gain the upper hand. The Victorious Marquis's eyes narrowed, and with a determined resolve, he unleashed a devastating attack:

"The Art of War: The Chapter on Split Characters - The Profound Mystery of Split Universe!"

An immense force surged forth, tearing the earth apart, shattering mountains and rivers, causing widespread devastation and mourning.

The Six-Petaled Drifting Rainbow was struck with immense force, its irresistible power slashing towards Maple Peak.

The attack was fierce and powerful. Fengxiu didn't have time to cast another spell, so she quickly wrapped herself in maple leaves to withstand the unparalleled attack.

"Uh~"

Despite his divine magic, Fengxiu was still severely injured and flew backwards into six-petaled wisps of mist.

A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Triumphant Marquis as he unleashed a deadly move: "Binding God Annihilation!"

A black storm chased after Fengxiu. This was a secret move of the Fire House Buddhist Prison against the path of ascension to immortality. Not only was his physical body locked, but his soul could not escape either.

Just as Fengxiu was about to die, a light mist surged in and covered the entire space.

"Ok?"

When the light mist dissipated, Fengxiu's figure had already disappeared.

Marquis Triumph was astonished and suspicious. How could someone be able to break the deadly move of the Fire House Buddhist Prison? Who exactly was this person?

It was Xiangling who rescued Fengxiu from the light mist.

On the road of no return, Han Yancui focused her gaze on Luo Hou's battle, but she looked towards Fengxiu and Fuying in the distance.

After Fengxiu left, Xiangling immediately followed him, not expecting him to come to Liuchu Piaoying.

Xiangling was unwilling to set foot in Liuchu Piaoying, so she lingered outside until she heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from inside.

With no time to lose, Xiangling used the Island Shattering Priest Technique to transfer Fengxiu to Xiangyue Residence.

"Pfft~"

"You are hurt."

Fengxiu wiped the crimson from her lips and forced a smile, saying, "It's alright, thank you for helping me out."

“It’s nothing, it’s a trivial matter. Compared to you breaking the stone seal for me, it’s nothing.”

"If I hadn't been delayed by other matters, you would have been free long ago. I'm sorry."

Xiangling didn't care at all, and instead said, "Fengxiu, don't you think we are very destined? Every time we meet, it's not a coincidence, but a destiny ordained by heaven."

"Ok?"

"In this vast universe, we were able to meet and get to know each other, and after a long period of time and space, we have met again. Now, when you are in danger, I can come to your rescue in time. This proves that the bond between us is unbreakable."

"Miss Xiangling, the will of Heaven is always uncertain, don't ruin your own life."

"Sir, do you dislike me?"

"I had no such intention."

"Since you don't dislike her, there's a possibility of liking her. Although Xiangling is a woman and her martial arts skills are shallow, she at least possesses special abilities that can help you solve your problems. How about I stay by your side?"

Feng Xiu was momentarily stunned by such a bold and affectionate confession, but he immediately thought of the Marquis of Triumph.

Just as the crisis of the Buddha's dual body was resolved, the Burning House of Buddhas is about to launch a large-scale invasion, not to mention the Gathering Realm and the Land of Death...

He can barely take care of himself, so why drag others down with him?

Fengxiu coldly refused, "Miss, Fengxiu cannot make any promises to you. We have different paths to take. Thank you for saving my life, but I must take my leave now."

"Sir, sir..."

Ignoring the calls from behind, Fengxiu staggered away.

At this moment, a figure is loitering along the west coast.

The boundless autumn colors could not diminish his sorrow.

Upon seeing Luo Hou return to Tiandu, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Martial Lord, we've finally waited for you."

"Taiko no Osamu, how could it be you?"

"Lord Wu, Taijunzhi, representing the people of Jijing, earnestly requests your assistance."

Taijun pointed to the crumbling land above him, his face showing anxiety.

"Let's talk about it after we get to Tiandu."

The people of Tiandu were preparing fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the victory of Wu Jun and Wu Long when they saw the people from Jijing arrive and immediately retreated to the side.

Upon entering the main hall, Taijun Zhi, without even taking a seat, first recounted the situation in Jijing.

"At the Six Ministries meeting, Ye Shibing formally proposed a strategy to attack the Bitter Realm. Although Wang Yesihuan vehemently opposed it, the Holy Emperor still approved the plan. Details are as follows..."

At the meeting of the six departments of Jijing, Ye Shibing proposed to descend into Jijing and take the opportunity to occupy Kujing.

Taiyin Sixian Dian Wangye strongly opposed this, but was imprisoned by the military governor for disobeying orders.

Of the remaining three leaders, Tianfu Academy supported the decision, Tianliang Academy abstained, and Shi Feng, the acting director of Tianji Academy, expressed his support for the military governor.

Thus, the plan to invade the Bitter Realm was officially adopted.
