Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

……

Silent all night.

When Lu Mu woke up, Feng Yan'er and Murong Xue also woke up, but they did not leave. They just looked at Lu Mu's sleeping face. After Lu Mu woke up, they got up reluctantly.

Chi Xin was sleeping on a rattan chair beside her, wrapped tightly like a meat roll. She was very quiet when she slept, with only her little head showing. There was no chance for her to sleep in today, so Lu Mu woke her up. Feng Yan'er also asked Yuan Yu, who came to the palace in the morning, to prepare some food to prevent this little ancestor from making trouble on the way.

"how's it going?"

Lu Mu asked.

"It seems that the elders of the Feitian Bi'an clan had a pleasant conversation with them. Elder Chiyun will stay and take charge of Qianyuan City. He will be of some use."

Feng Yan'er seldom met with the elders of Anyou Qianyuan. In fact, they could not say much when they did. There was a thick barrier between everyone's hearts, and she had no intention of looking at what secrets were hidden under the barrier.

So Yuanyu was responsible for delivering the message.

"With the elders of Feitian Bi'an here, the spies of other demon tribes will find out. As for whether they care or not... that's none of our business."

Lu Mu has done a lot. Although none of them are difficult, the elders of the Dark Thousand Kite Clan probably felt from the beginning that he was just boasting and unable to fulfill his promises. However, he took on the task and did a good job. If he could hear complaints from the third elder Yuan Qu again... then he would have to kill some birds to establish his authority.

Of course, Lu Mu didn't expect much help from them. It would be enough if they didn't cause any trouble. After all, there were so few demons who could look up to humans that they were almost extinct, let alone a group of demon elders who were used to being arrogant.

Seeing that Lu Mu seemed confident, Feng Yaner relaxed and stopped worrying.

……

After everything was arranged, the spirit ship rose from the high platform of the Holy Phoenix Palace and sailed into the clouds.

After flying for about seven days, at noon, the spirit ship landed, and what appeared in front of Lu Mu was a huge city.

But this huge city is surrounded by countless ruins. After many years, it still stands here, but its appearance makes people feel miserable. Even such a huge city was eventually destroyed.

The new city was built on the ruins of the old one.

But it is impossible to reproduce the glory and grandeur of the past.

"…The Imperial City has been destroyed."

Feng Yan'er looked at the countless ruins below and could only sigh.

Chapter 48: Entry Quota to the Ancient Battlefield

Feng Yaner recovered some of her memories.

The Imperial City is composed of three connected cities. She once lived in Jiuhuang City, the city of the Three Emperors among Monsters, Guyue City of the Guyue Yulong clan, and Zhuri City of the Feitian Bian'an clan, thus forming the Imperial City of the Ten Thousand Monsters Ancient Dynasty.

The Ancient Dynasty of Ten Thousand Demons was once a fertile spiritual land, but now all that was left was ruins and wasteland. Feng Yan'er's gaze fell on the other side, where the Nine Phoenix City once stood, but now even if it was in ruins, not much was left. She knew that the city had been glorious for generations.

Feng Yaner sighed again. She thought, if the Xuantian calamity did not completely destroy her tribe, what should she do now?

She might grow old like Chi Xiao, and have children and grandchildren to show her love to her heart's content, but there are no ifs in the world, and she has no right to think about the past that has not happened and will never happen.

"Let's go to the city first."

Lu Mu put away the spirit ship, and the group entered Guyue City from the ground.

The sky above Guyue City was very clear. They arrived in Guyue City neither too early nor too late. The monsters who were preparing to participate in the exploration of the ancient battlefield had already come here. Among them were great monsters in the Xuanhai Realm and even the Creation Realm. They brought their own young ones with them. Their monster bodies were quite large, but as soon as they got close to Guyue City, they obediently transformed into human forms and then walked into the city.

with no exceptions.

Maybe the Grand Hall Master doesn't like people flying around over her head.

The consequences of violating this rule... Lu Mu felt that he should not provoke the other party like that.

He may not care about the Thousand Demon Palace, but it is better to have less trouble than more. At least Feng Yan'er should not have a conflict with the Thousand Demon Palace now.

"Please state your identity."

As soon as the two entered the city gate, guards came forward to greet them. Lu Mu said nothing. Chi Lei and Yuan Shuang, the only female elder of the Dark Thousand Yuan Clan, each released the aura of the demon clan to show their identities. Now is a time of trouble. Many demons have come to Guyue City. After the guards confirmed their identities, they no longer cared about anything else.

The guard glanced around and finally his eyes fell on Lu Mu, Feng Yan'er and Murong Xue. He could see that Murong Xue and Lu Mu were humans, but there were humans in the Thousand Demons Hall, and this was not something a guard like him should worry about.

"Excuse me, are you all invited by my Thousand Demon Palace to come and explore the ancient battlefield of Wentian?"

Lu Mu nodded.

"Then please go to the martial arts arena in the city. There, the priests of the Thousand Demons Hall will be in charge of receiving you."

The guards made way to receive the people coming later, and the group arrived outside the martial arts field. Sure enough, there was a worshiper wearing a dark robe and a ghost mask standing at the door. Lu Mu took a quick look, but could not tell the man's cultivation level.

Although his cultivation level could not be seen, Lu Mu could tell that this worshipper was a human.

"Welcome, everyone."

The ghost-faced worshipper smiled and bowed, his attitude seeming to be quite genuine and friendly.

"I've heard that there are several humans who are considered aliens in the Thousand Demons Hall. Seeing them today, I think they are not called 'alien' for nothing."

Feng Yaner just said indifferently.

"The so-called aliens are just because we are close to the demons, and most humans in the Southern Region hate the demons. If we don't go along with them, we will naturally be slandered."

The ghost-faced worshipper was not angry. His words seemed open and generous. As for whether they were true or false, it was hard to say.

“Although many worshippers in the Thousand Demons Hall are speculating whether the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix will really appear, and some have even placed huge bets on it...Now that you are really here, some will be very happy, but some...will suffer losses.”

He chuckled quietly, his attention always on Feng Yan'er.

"What about you?"

Lu Mu took over the conversation.

"Me? I am the happy type. You know, it is not easy to gain benefits from the demons."

The Ghost-faced Worshiper made no secret of his profit-seeking nature, as if he had countless words in his heart, and no matter who he met, he could find a few words to satisfy the other person. Lu Mu was a little curious about what the face under the mask looked like. Perhaps this was the so-called treacherous person.

"We don't know why the Grand Master is interested in you, but we won't ask about it. Please rest assured that the Thousand Demons Grand Hall follows the rules."

"really?"

"If the reputation and prestige of the Thousand Demon Palace are to be maintained, this is the way to go."

The ghost-faced priest led them into the martial arts arena. In this huge martial arts arena, there were ten arenas.

"What is this doing?"

Chi Xin was chewing on the barbecue nonchalantly, her eyes were wide open but her mouth was moving non-stop.

"Competition."

Elder Yuanshuang was not unfamiliar with this. This time she came with Yuanyu, but once upon a time, she was also a young demon fighting for entry into the ancient battlefield of Wentian.

"The number of places to enter the Ancient Questioning Heaven Battlefield is limited, only eighty-eight people at a time. As long as you can rank in the top 100 before the restrictions around the ancient battlefield are opened, you will be qualified."

The Ghost Face Priest pointed to a huge black stone tablet that was five meters high beside the martial arts arena and said, "The names, origins, and cultivation levels of those who can be ranked will be displayed on that ancient tablet. You can choose your own opponents. Of course, this is limited to those who are in the realm of creation."

"Oh! This is fun!"

Chi Xin's eyes lit up. In addition to eating and sleeping, she also liked fighting. After sitting on the boat for a few days, she was so idle that she was jumping around.

"I'll take my leave now. I hope you all get what you want."

The ghost-faced worshipper left immediately.

"Why does this Wentian Ancient Battlefield limit the number of participants?" Yuan Yu asked.

"This ancient battlefield is what was left over from the Xuantian catastrophe. Although it is not in a different space, the war that broke out there during the catastrophe destroyed almost everything. Even space was not immune to this poisonous hand. I have been in there before. The spatial fluctuations inside are completely disordered. The huge ancient battlefield with a radius of thousands of miles is full of spatial cracks and is extremely unstable."

"If someone above the Creation Realm steps into it, it will cause a disordered vision of space. If you act rashly, the space will be completely shattered. Therefore, if you want to enter the ancient battlefield, your cultivation must be below the Creation Realm."

Yuan Shuang explained.

"What exactly is in there?"

Feng Yaner asked suddenly.

"……uncertain."

What she wanted to know was actually what Yuan Shuang wanted to know as well. Because the Wentian Ancient Battlefield was so huge, but due to the disorder of space, the entire picture of the ancient battlefield has not been fully explored to this day. As for what was inside, that was even harder to say.

Based on what Yuanshuang saw and felt, the ancient battlefield was a tomb that buried the past, and no matter what was buried inside, it seemed that it was not completely dead.

That's not a good place.

But as the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there are...

Such words will always spread across the Eight Regions through word of mouth, and then, those guys who call themselves "fearless" will plunge into the abyss.

What this world lacks most is reckless fools who don't take their lives seriously.

PS: Mission Impossible 7 is really good

Chapter 49: Choose an Opponent

The Wentian Ancient Battlefield is not unique to the Southern Region, but today, this ancient battlefield can still become a place for a group of demon tribes to train their younger generations, which is quite rare.

If you really want to say, the "Wentian Burial Vein" that Lu Mu once entered in the Northeast Region is exactly the same as this ancient battlefield.

However, the Questioning Heaven Burial Pulse is not as terrifying as it sounds.

"I don't care about the ancient battlefield... the Thousand Demon Palace is the problem."

Chi Lei had been silent ever since the ghost-faced worshipper led the way for them. He was not actually quiet, but perhaps in order to carefully examine the situation, he did not show any anxiety or urgency, but was rather calm.

"Thousand Demon Palace?"

Yuan Shuang frowned.

"Ah……"

Chi Lei chuckled, "Neither you nor I can enter the Ancient Battlefield of Wentian. If we enter, something bad will happen. But since the Thousand Demons Palace has invited all the tribes to come and explore the ancient battlefield again, Your Highness Shenghuang must go in."

"But what if, after entering, His Majesty the Holy Phoenix has to face the siege of the various tribes that obey the orders of the Thousand Demons Hall?"

He paused, then continued, "I'm not going to trust that offering lightly, not to mention, he's a human being."

"Me too."

Lu Mu smiled, his eyes fell on the black ink stele: "Since Yan'er must go in, why not consider getting a place first."

Chi Lei's eyes changed again and again as he looked at Lu Mu.

Before, he only thought that the young master of the Lu family, who bore the title of "Prince of the Holy Phoenix", was indeed a little arrogant, but now it seems that it is not just arrogance. He has a kind of confidence, as if he feels that nothing can threaten the woman he is protecting.

Where does this confidence come from?

This was certainly not something Chi Lei Qu could think of. Since he was confident, he might as well believe him, because it was definitely unrealistic to stop Feng Yan'er. If they really had to be so cautious at every step, they should not have come to Guyue City in the first place, and they should not have thought about entering the Wentian Ancient Battlefield. But if this was really the case, I'm afraid the Feitian Bi'an clan would not agree to be her "ally".

If the demon race loses this kind of mentality, they will be of little use.

Since we can't get in anyway, we might as well believe that Feng Yan'er and Lu Mu have the ability to stop the Thousand Demons Hall's evil plans.

"It seems that Yan'er has attracted a lot of attention."

Lu Mu gently pinched Feng Yan'er's soft hands, with an unfathomable light flashing in his eyes.

There were quite a few monsters in the martial arts arena, and although they were not high-profile, their appearance was enough to attract attention. How many years had it been since the Southern Region had seen the Feitian Bi'an tribe appear? The Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix, which had recently caused a stir in the Southern Region, was also here. Lu Mu and Murong Xue were actually equally important figures, but they were human after all.

The demon tribe in the Southern Territory basically ignores humans.

Now, the reputation of "Prince of the Holy Phoenix" is not so popular. Maybe he has dealt with a few big monsters who were ready to make trouble. But it is still not easy for the monsters to be scared by humans.

Anyway, Lu Mu is planning to make himself famous now. If he is not famous, there is no point in being the Prince of Holy Phoenix.

"Let's go pick some opponents and just defend our respective rankings."

Since these people have all kinds of ideas about Feng Yan'er, why not let them see Feng Yan'er's strength first? Then they will naturally think about whether their "ideas" will cause trouble.

Feng Yaner gently squeezed Lu Mu's palm, then walked towards one of the arenas.

The person standing on the stage was a demon. It was the eighth stage. Lu Mu looked at the huge black stone tablet, on which this guy's information was clearly listed.

Shi Meng, from the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape clan, is at the fifth level of the Origin Realm and ranks 28th.

Lu Mu looked at the stage again.

This guy from the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape tribe does have some "stereotypes", because although this guy is defending the ring in human form, he doesn't look like a human at all. Apart from his normal height of two meters, his body is covered with brown and black hair, his muscles are like knotty stones, and his face is not very good-looking, at least at first glance, he looks even more monkey-like than Sun Wukong.
