Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"The frenzy of decay, the death of bloom, where is the black paradise?"

As the Calyx of Paradise descended, the surrounding terrain changed dramatically, and a patch of deep blue roses grew on the ground.

The man immediately drew his trident from his back and became alert.

"Originally, this calyx of paradise was meant to bloom in your life, but I regret it now."

“You made a wise choice. We can be friends, not enemies.”

Hearing this, Heaven's Calyx sneered: "Friends? What need do evil spirits have for friends? You are unfamiliar with dealing with the Bitter Realm."

“I come from the burning Buddhist prison, my name is Bai Li Xing Ji.”

“Before the pagoda, all sects came to worship, but the name of the burning house and Buddhist hell was unknown.”

Bai Lixingji didn't care about Tiantangzhi's disdain. Instead, he sincerely said, "Before today, the Fire House Buddha Prison may not have been well-known, but soon, its name will resound throughout the world."

"If you have such confidence, why bother setting foot here?"

"We seek cooperation, we seek a win-win opportunity."

"Oh? What kind of opportunity do you want?"

"The evil spirit helped the Buddhist Prison break through the limits of its realm, and the Buddhist Prison helped the evil spirit achieve unity of the four realms."

Heaven's Calyx found it amusing: "Hahaha, show me your strength and prove that the Fire Prison is qualified to cooperate with evil spirits."

"You refuse to cooperate?"

"Focus your energy on how to promote your noble lineage; evil spirits are not a place for you to gain advantage."

Seeing that negotiations were hopeless, Bai Lixingji stopped being obsequious and said, "What I say today may become my own humiliation in the future. Please."

The Twin Bodies of Buddha were completely unaware of this little incident outside the Demon Tower.

Chapter 40 Please Give Me Your Eyes

Lone Star Cliff.

A solitary grave, overgrown with weeds.

The weeds grew particularly fast in the height of summer, covering half of the grave.

A spider, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, spun a millstone-sized web between the tombstone and the weeds, trapping several insects.

There was also a tiny moth, frantically flapping its wings.

Sirius recovered from his injuries at Fuyingzhai and returned here.

He crouched down, first brushed away the spider webs, and then pulled out the weeds.

A few days ago it rained, and the rainwater left some dust, which dirtied the names on the tombstones.

Sirius wiped it clean with his sleeve, revealing "Bai Xiaocha's Tomb".

"Xiao Cha, I'm sorry, I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been able to come and keep you company."

Just as he was diligently clearing away the weeds and dust, two people, one tall and one short, walked up to Lone Star Cliff.

Sirius stood up; he was the Martial Lord Rahu and the Son of God.

After absorbing the Death God's power from Lone Star and Desert Blade Juechen, Shao Hao grew extremely rapidly, and his current height is almost that of a three-year-old child.

Although he had his hands behind his back like Luo Hou, Shao Hao's face was full of curiosity, his azure eyes constantly taking in the unfamiliar scenery.

What's meant to happen will eventually happen.

Sirius asked coldly, "Could we go somewhere else? I don't want to make this place dirty."

Luo Hou glanced at the tombstone. Bai Xiaochai was that big woman who was fat on the outside but extremely kind on the inside, and the person who had the most profound influence on Sirius.

Shao Hao also looked at the tombstone: "Father, what is this?"

"These are human tombstones."

"And what is a tombstone?"

"It is a form of commemoration. After a person dies, their relatives erect a tombstone to indicate that this person once lived in this world."

Sirius interrupted them: "If you're going to kill me here, I have only one request: please bury me here, no need to erect a tombstone."

Luo Hou asked Shao Hao, "Do you want to kill him?"

Shao Hao shook his head: "He is the disciple of the Grim Reaper, and I did not sense any killing intent from him."

"Put away that pointless sympathy."

Shao Hao was puzzled: "Human emotions tell me that compassion is a virtue. Isn't it right to have compassion for you?"

Sirius's expression grew even colder.

Luo Hou continued to explain: "Only the weak need sympathy. Sirius is not weak; it's just that his adoptive father is stronger than him."

It would have been fine if he hadn't explained, but this explanation instantly broke Sirius's defenses.

He couldn't help but growl, "What brings you here?"

The Son of God answered Sirius earnestly: "My godfather said, 'Please give me your eyes.'"

"what!"

"Your right eye carries the power of death; I must take it back."

Sirius, who was always cold and aloof, couldn't help but burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha, so it wasn't enough that you stole Lone Star, you also wanted to steal the eyes that my master left me!"

“It didn’t hurt at all. When I withdrew the Death God’s power from Mo Dao Juechen, he didn’t cry out in pain.”

Luo Hou thought to himself that Mo Dao Juechen was in a dead state at that time and wouldn't cry out in pain.

"For you guys!"

Sirius glanced longingly at the tombstone, then reached up to gouge out his own eyeballs.

Luo Hou instantly swung out a palm, knocking his hand away: "Absorbing your death god power will not affect the function of this eye, and there is no need to gouge it out."

"Okay, sit down and don't move, it'll be ready soon."

Shao Hao approached Sirius and stretched out his little hand.

Sirius sat down sadly and closed his eyes.

A small hand covered Sirius's right eye, and soon, a black aura of death emanated from the eye, flowing into Sirius's body along the meridians in Shao Hao's hand.

Who says it doesn't hurt?

Luo Hou saw that Sirius was trembling all over, his hands clenched into fists, trying to endure the tearing sensation of the power that had accompanied him for thousands of years leaving his body.

Fortunately, the process did not last long. As the last wisp of black energy escaped, Shao Hao withdrew his palm.

Sirius, does it not hurt?

"..."

"Open your eyes and look."

Sirius opened his eyes. The world had not changed. Even the words "Bai Xiaocha's Tomb" were still as familiar as if they were engraved in his heart.

Luo Hou said calmly, "Even though you have lost the power of death, you are still a powerful swordsman."

Two people, one older and one younger, left Lonely Star Cliff and walked into the distance.

Sirius continued to pull the weeds from the grave: "Little Tea, from now on I can devote myself to you wholeheartedly."

After leaving Lonely Star Cliff, Luo Hou led Shao Hao to the outer perimeter of the Demon World Pagoda.

True strength comes from real combat, and the Demonic Spirit of Annihilation is just what I need to sharpen my son's skills.

Shao Hao looked up at the towering demon tower, deeply shocked: "What a tall tower! Much taller than the Twin Towers of Tiandu!"

"Do you have the courage to fight your way to the top of the tower? The top of the tower has already crossed into the Gathering Realm."

"Have!"

"It's not the right time yet. Let's deal with the evil horns on the periphery first."

Shao Hao was eager to try: "Who should we fight?"

"Wait a little longer, they'll be out soon."

At this moment, a hundred miles away, the crazed Chiba Legend was chasing after Su Huanzhen.

Chiba wielded the Heavenly Might in one hand and unleashed a torrent of energy in the other, his attacks showing no mercy.

"Chiba, wake up! You've fallen into the demonic path!"

Su Huanzhen used a Prajna sword in one hand and a whisk in the other, defending with all his might.

"The demonic path is also the path, and evil magic is also the law. Su Huanzhen, you are an obstacle on my path, and I have long disliked you."

"Turn back."

"Since the black lotus already exists, why bother with the white lotus? Drink!"

The battle between the two lotuses, with swords and palms clashing, swept across the ten directions of the plains.

Bai Lian said helplessly, "The only solution now is to capture you first. Ming Sheng Sword Technique!"

"Sea of ​​clouds and mountain waves!"

The legendary sword of Chiba rose like snow waves, its killing intent merciless; in the blink of an eye, both were wounded.

As the Black and White Lotuses fought to the death, Ye Xiaochai, Wan Gu Chang Kong, Yin Jue of the Sunblind Clan, and Jiu Zhou Yi Jian Zhi arrived outside the Demon World Pagoda.

As Uncle Jiuzhou, the leader, was about to rush into the Demon Tower, he once again instructed: "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Our mission is to cover Qu Shitu. Do not linger in battle."

"Ah."

The group hurried along.

Suddenly the scene changed, and five figures fell down in a flash.

The evil spirits, including Heaven's Calyx, blocked their path: "It will be difficult to take this opportunity to break into the Demon World."

Uncle Kyushu laughed and said, "We also have ambushes, and they're quite large."

With his laughter, the sky shone brightly, as if it were daytime, and three long-lost figures appeared in the clouds.
