Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"Maybe that's just her nature, why should she suppress it?"

Lu Mu watched Chi Xin jump down from Murong Xue's arms, then come to him with watery eyes, and then stretched out his hand.

He understood what I meant and took out another roast chicken.

……

When the spirit ship sailed into the Territory of Kings, the sky had not yet darkened, and the scenery of the Territory of Kings was actually much better than ordinary people imagined.

The crimson mountains, the undulating forests and the peaceful and orderly fluctuations of spiritual energy make it look like a paradise, untainted by dust.

But soon, deadly murderous intent emerged in the territory of the kings.

Six murderous thoughts flew into the air above the spirit ship, as if even the air was frozen.

Chi Lei stood up and revealed the form of Bi'an. A thousand-foot-long shadow of the beast condensed in the sky. A tremendous force descended, and the powerful might made the entire Qihuang forest tremble.

The six thoughts paused, and finally confronted Chi Lei for only a few breaths before retreating.

"These spirit beast kings are not very friendly."

Lu Mu smiled and handed the last roasted chicken in his hand to Chi Xin. Chi Xin hugged it happily, took a bite, and showed a satisfied and sweet smile. She looked at Chi Lei, then at Lu Mu, and finally her gaze fell on Feng Yan'er who had an indifferent expression.

"They are not friendly to anyone." Chi Lei seemed to have gotten used to being provoked by these spirit beast kings. He did not have much anger, but his tone was a little cold and hard.

The spirit ship quickly flew over the territories of the kings and finally arrived at the only desolate and dilapidated wilderness among the territories. There was nothing there at first, but Chi Lei opened his mouth and roared, and the sound waves spread like ripples within a thousand miles. In an instant, the mountains shook and the forest roared!

With the roar of the beast, the light in the wasteland suddenly dissipated, and a crack over a hundred feet wide appeared out of thin air. A thick mist rose from the crack, and under the light mist was a passage to another space.

Lu Mu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he glanced at Chi Lei subtly.

The spirit ship sailed into the rift.

With just a flash of white light, the appearance of the Feitian Demon Realm appeared before the guests on the boat.

wild.

This was the only thought in Lu Mu's mind.

The demon realm is filled with dense forests and abundant vegetation. The treetops are like umbrellas, blocking the sunlight but not being gloomy or dull. In the sky of the demon realm, tiny and fragmented Milky Ways float in the sky. Although it is a self-contained space, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon also change with the outside world.

Lu Mu suddenly felt that this kind of place would be a good place to live in during retirement.

Murong Xue and Feng Yan'er stood side by side at the edge of the boat, looking at the lush greenery. For a moment, they felt a sense of mystery rising from their hearts. The deeper the spirit boat went, the more animal shadows appeared around them, looking at them from afar and roaring.

"Your Highness the Holy Phoenix, welcome to the Scarlet Sky Demon Realm."

Feng Yan'er was originally enjoying the natural scenery within the demon realm, but soon her attention was drawn to the other side. She looked into the distance and saw a huge rift valley that was so deep that one could not see the bottom. In the rift valley, an old laugh was heard.

"Hehe... I haven't seen the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix for a long time."

"It's just that you have a more vicissitudes of life smell than me."

The voice became clearer and clearer, but only Feng Yan'er could hear it. She looked around and everyone seemed to be oblivious to the voice.

"who are you?"

Feng Yaner stared at the end of the Great Rift Valley vigilantly.

"Please call me Chi Xiao."

"I remember that I once met you, Your Highness the Holy Phoenix...but it was too long ago."

"It was so long ago that I can only remember that it was a time when the sky was collapsing."

Chapter 43: Distant Memories

If we don't count those old monsters in the Ancient Question Realm who rely on all kinds of magic weapons, spirit formations, or secret methods to maintain their longevity, then Chi Xiao is undoubtedly the longest-lived creature in the Ancient Question Realm.

When he was born, a great catastrophe had just befallen this world. That era was certainly extremely dangerous, but very few creatures could survive it and live to this day.

Chi Xiao is one of them.

He didn't rely on anything, just on himself, and survived these long years.

"You ever met me?"

Feng Yan'er stood on the edge of the spirit ship, staring at the clearly visible rift in the distance. She didn't know who the great elder of the Feitian Bi'an clan was, but Chi Xiao's voice was too old, and seemed full of all kinds of unknown stories, so Feng Yan'er felt that she was talking to the strongest person in this clan.

Originally, she didn't dare to visit them hastily, but now, just after entering this demon land, they came to her first.

“Of course I have.” Chi Xiao laughed softly, “That year, I was born only a hundred years ago… The things that happened during my childhood should have been completely blurred, but I remember very clearly that the great demon lord of the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix clan came to visit my clan with her daughter who amazed all clans…”

"It's hard to forget the appearance of you and your mother, but at that time, I was just a small young demon."

Feng Yan'er's thoughts suddenly became flustered. Her eyes widened, and the shock had not yet dispelled from her mind. Her head was buzzing.

"What did you say?"

"Your Highness, please come and have a chat in this deep valley. I am old and it is not easy for me to move."

Chi Xiao seemed to be smiling, but there was a hint of sadness in his expression, like a man who had lived for a very long time and thought that the people or things in his childhood memories would no longer exist in the world, because it had been too long, so long that those beings in his memories had all disappeared and only traces remained in his mind. But now, there was still a demon who was supposed to be dead in his memory, but was still alive.

Moreover, he is still so young.

Ordinary people cannot understand Chi Xiao’s melancholy and sadness.

Because it is impossible for them to live that long, and they cannot rely on their long lifespan to outlive every deeply engraved face in their memory.

"……it is good."

Feng Yan'er didn't care about anything anymore. She stepped on the edge of the spirit ship and jumped up!

She jumped into the air, her clothes fluttering and her long hair flying!

"Sister Yan'er!"

Murong Xue was the first to notice that something was wrong with her, but by the time she reacted, Feng Yan'er had already jumped off the boat. Her body was filled with streams of light like karmic fire, carrying her towards the far end of the demon realm.

"Ah! She seems to be heading towards Grandpa."

Chi Xin pointed in surprise at the deep valley where Chi Xiao was, but Feng Yan'er's figure had already become blurred in the light flow. Her destination was clear, which was the deep valley.

"Don't disturb the elder's rest!"

Chi Lei was shocked and frightened. His original plan was to take Feng Yan'er to meet the clan leader first. Although the eldest clan elder had the highest seniority and was powerful, he did not take charge of the affairs after all. The clan leader was the one in charge of the clan's affairs. No matter what, he had to meet the clan leader first. If he had to ask Chi Xiao to make the final decision in the end, that would be a hard sell.

"Don't worry, just follow him. Yan'er knows her limits. If she wants to meet the great elder, it may be that the great elder asked her to go personally."

Lu Mu seemed very calm the whole time, and even his expression didn't change at all, as if this matter was not worth worrying about in his opinion.

He controlled the spirit ship, followed Feng Yan'er, and flew towards the deep valley.

……

When Feng Yaner fell all the way to the bottom of the valley, the cold and silence around her became even more intense. Apart from the whistling mountain wind, there was not even the sound of insects or birds in the entire valley.

The light does not enter here.

Lu Mu and Chi Lei also jumped off the boat and went straight into the valley. Murong Xue accompanied Chi Xin to eat roast chicken on the boat.

"Yan'er."

When they reached the bottom, Lu Mu walked forward first and held Feng Yaner's soft hands. She came back to her senses and looked at Lu Mu. The sense of dependence in her heart became stronger at this moment. She raised her hands to hug him and buried herself in his broad chest.

"what happened?"

Feng Yan'er shook her head, refusing to let Lu Mu go, and Lu Mu let her go.

The deep valley was empty, with nothing in it, until an old figure walked out from the deeper part. He was quite strong, but his face was old and weathered, his eyebrows were like knives, and the look in his animal eyes was frightening, because it was a look that was both calm and fierce, which made people afraid to approach.

Chi Xiao glanced at Feng Yan'er beside Lu Mu and smiled. Then, the smile faded and was replaced by a deep thought that could not be concealed. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Your Highness, you are still very young."

Feng Yaner pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Great clan elder, you..."

The most surprised person was of course Chi Lei, because in his memory, Chi Xiao had never revealed his human form. He always had that huge monster body lurking in the center of the valley, as quiet as a boulder. But at this moment, Chi Xiao actually turned into a human form?

"What's so good about it? It's just the appearance of a human being. Everyone has changed."

Chi Xiao rolled his eyes and shook his beard, but when he saw Lu Mu, Lu Mu felt that his whole body was swept by some unfathomable force, leaving him exposed and with nowhere to hide.

Lu Mu looked at Chi Xiao with a smile, and endured Chi Xiao's gaze frankly. There was a thin layer of mist lingering on his limbs, which was the breath of his natal phoenix bone. Since this great elder wanted to see, then let him see enough, so that no one would say "humans can't be trusted" at that time.

Chi Xiao retracted his gaze, "I see." He smiled, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that a human being would be recognized by the great demon lord."

Feng Qingluo's existence should have been a secret, because those who knew of her existence were basically dead, and those who were not dead did not want to bother speaking now, but Chi Xiao was obviously not one of them. Lu Mu observed his aura, which was stable and powerful. Although in terms of age, he was definitely older than the great elder Yuanshang of Anyou Qianyuan's clan, Chi Xiao did not want to be like him, so old that he could only rely on spiritual medicine to prolong his life.

This is the innate advantage of the demon bloodline.

Feitian Bi'an can live for a long time, and so can Jiuling Shenghuang and Guyue Yulong, while Chixiao's memory has apparently extended back to ten thousand years ago.

"I can't say I approve of you. Maybe it's because Senior Feng Qingluo has no other choice but to choose me."

Lu Mu shrugged.

Chi Xiao was stunned when he heard this answer, as if he felt that the young man in front of him should be more arrogant.

Chi Xiao didn't think much about it in the end. He waved his hand, and the grass and trees in the valley condensed into several rattan chairs. Lu Mu and Feng Yan'er sat on them, right opposite him.

"Great clan elder, this time I came here in the hope that the Feitian Bi'an clan and His Majesty the Holy Phoenix will form an alliance. I wonder..."

Lu Mu went straight to the point.

"No problem, Your Highness, just pick whoever you want."

Chi Xiao's response was equally quick and crisp, making him look less like an old monster who had not moved for thousands of years.

Chapter 44: The reason for being born

It was Feng Yan'er who felt restrained now. She had thought that it would be difficult to convince the Feitian Bi'an clan to form an alliance with her. She might not be able to persuade these stubborn people who were unwilling to even show their true colors even if she talked her mouth off. However, the clan elder in front of her actually agreed without saying a word, which was really beyond her expectation.

Chi Xiao's frankness made Feng Yan'er's eyebrows twitch, but in an instant, she relaxed and raised a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you, elder."

Feng Yaner's behavior was polite and courteous, yet a little distant.

In fact, Chi Xiao had a kind of nostalgia for her that was intoxicated with the past, but Feng Yan'er just didn't quite understand that feeling. After all, she was reborn from the ashes, and the memories in her mind were scattered and broken. The only thing that was profound was her mother's blurry face and the scenes when she was with Lu Mu.

Chi Xiao has actually lived for ten thousand years. For him, it is such a blessing that he can still see the characters in his childhood memories when he is so old.

If you don't live to his age, you will never understand his thoughts.

If the time of Feng Yan'er's nirvana was counted, she could be considered an antique who had lived for ten thousand years, but she only felt that she was still very young.

"The Chixiao clan elder is very happy. It seems that the Feitian Bi'an clan no longer intends to stay away from the world, right?"

Lu Mu's voice rang out, bringing Chi Xiao's wandering thoughts back.

"It's just that I don't want to hide away from the world any more."

"why?"

"The chaotic world is coming. What's the point of continuing to hide?"

Like all the strongest people, Chi Xiao has a subconscious awareness of the changes in the world. He has lived too long and has seen too much, but there are definitely some things that Chi Xiao will never forget in his life.

For example, the Xuantian catastrophe.

"Your Highness's family can be reborn, but their memories may be lost after rebirth. I thought it was just a rumor, but when I saw you, I knew you couldn't remember many things."

Chi Xiao sighed, a hint of regret in his tone, "Your Highness, do you still remember why the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix clan was destroyed?"

"……Um."

Of course Feng Yaner remembered.

In the Moonfall Secret Realm, she found her former protector and also recovered the few remaining memories of herself before Nirvana.

The Nine-Winged Holy Phoenix clan originally had an extremely high status. They lived in the imperial city of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Dynasty. Gu Yue Yulong and Fei Tian Bi'an also lived there. Although the decline of the demon clan was still an irreversible trend, at that time, at least the demon clan could still maintain a vast territory, unlike today, when the demon clan had to be vassals of humans.

She is a princess and the only descendant of the Holy Phoenix Great Demon Lord Feng Qingluo. If nothing goes wrong, she should inherit the title of Great Demon Lord in the future, and then take over her mother's position in the Ancient Dynasty of Ten Thousand Demons, as always.

Then, the sky cracked.

No one knows why the sky cracked, and no one cares. After all, strange phenomena in heaven and earth are not uncommon. So what if there was a big hole in the sky?

Feng Yan'er didn't know the cause of the disaster, nor did she remember the process. She only knew that she followed in her mother's footsteps and threw herself into the battle to protect the world, aimlessly dealing with the enemies outside the world until she was seriously injured, the demon clan was defeated again and again, and the Ancient Dynasty of Ten Thousand Demons collapsed.
