Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"I don't know." The voice continued, "But this monster has tried to take over the bodies of living beings many times in an attempt to escape. It succeeded every time, but it failed to take over your body."

"so?"

The voice paused, "Perhaps you have a special power."

"Come and help me, to the deepest part of the Sword Mountain."

The sword energy in the air suddenly changed, and it actively dispersed in front of Lu Mu, forming a hole with no resistance at all. It was a passage. When he looked into the passage, he saw only chaos and blur that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In this "passage", no sword force could be felt at all.

That voice opened up an absolutely safe path for him, allowing him to safely pass through the third level of sword power, the fourth level of sword power, and even the final fifth level.

"...You stay here and wait for me to come back."

Lu Mu patted Chi Xin's head.

"The sword power here is enough for you to strengthen your body. I have other things to do."

"OK then."

Chi Xin nodded obediently.

She was very curious as to why this sword force would actively open up an unobstructed path. She didn't know where it led to, but a subconscious thought in Chi Xin's mind told her that it would be better for her not to go there.

If there was one thing about this little princess that made Lu Mu feel most at ease, it was that she was extremely obedient.

"When you come back, I'll roast chicken for you."

After saying that, Lu Mu raised his leg and walked into the calm passage.

Walking deeper into the passage, although there was no sword energy in the passage, the power of the sword energy outside the passage was not weak at all. After about a quarter of an hour, he felt that the sword energy around him was so strong that it made him sweat coldly. If he dared to remove the protective qi and walk into it, the end would definitely be to be chopped into pieces.

Although his body is strong, the fourth level of sword power is no longer something that the body can withstand.

Without this passage, Lu Mu knew that he would never be able to go deep into the sword burial ground.

It was not until he entered the fifth level of sword power that Lu Mu could clearly see the small hill formed by the broken swords.

At the foot of Broken Sword Mountain, there is a small entrance.

Lu Mu walked in, and the passage behind him still existed. He looked around Broken Sword Mountain, and just as he expected, this was actually the "eye" of the entire Sword Burial Ground.

Under his feet was a complex array symbol that was dim in light but full of power. Amid the crisscrossing array patterns, he vaguely saw a figure sitting cross-legged in it, as if he was practicing.

"I am coming."

Lu Mu walked to the center of the formation. The figure turned around, but he found that this "person" was faceless and could not sense any fluctuations in his aura.

No, that's not a living person.

It is a figure composed of sword energy.

The words "formation birth spirit" emerged in Lu Mu's mind.

It is not impossible for a formation to give birth to a spirit. However, this requires the person who constructs the formation to sit in the formation forever and disperse all his cultivation. After death, his soul will not disappear, but will merge into the formation and turn into a spirit guarding the formation.

What was before him was the formation spirit.

The so-called "monsters in the barrier cannot be allowed to escape" is precisely because before the birth of the formation spirit, the strong man who sat in the formation until his death and whose soul was integrated into the formation had such an obsession.

After the formation spirit is born, it will continue to act according to this obsession.

"You're... a little weak."

The formation spirit has no face, but Lu Mu can clearly feel the "scrutinizing" gaze.

Lu Mu's face darkened. He had already called him here, and now he was thinking of despising his cultivation level?

Chapter 78: Lu Mu's method

As if sensing the negative emotion emanating from Lu Mu, which was "I'm already here, what else do you want to complain about?", the formation spirit seemed to be forcibly restrained in its words.

"Okay, I won't bother with you anymore."

Lu Mu discovered that this array spirit seemed to have not only obsessions, but also many entanglements.

After a moment, it sighed: "I have no other choice."

It pointed to a groove in the center of the formation and said, "Go in, I will infuse you with power, and then you may be able to mobilize the power of the entire formation and kill the monster."

"Are you serious?" Lu Mu narrowed his eyes.

"Yes."

"I don't know who set up this formation, but such a huge formation power will definitely burst me. If I die, who can help you?"

"I don't know, maybe there is, maybe not, but I have to try anyway."

The formation spirit shook his head.

Lu Mu's face was full of black lines, and he didn't even step in.

Because the consequence of walking in would be instant death, with no body left. He was only at the first level of the Source Realm, how could he bear such a huge force?

The formation spirit asked him to do this because they thought he had a chance of surviving. If he couldn't survive, then he would have to die.

He likes adventure very much, but this doesn't seem to be an adventure, but a suicide. Lu Mu stepped into the core of the formation, and the chance of survival was less than one percent. Unless the Heavenly Dao appeared and forcibly bestowed some absolute power on the rules to help him survive, otherwise it would be a dead end.

So, he turned to ask the formation spirit: "Can you let me take a look at the monster trapped in this formation?"

"can."

The formation spirit raised his finger, and a flash of sword light quickly pierced into his forehead. In an instant, the scenery in front of Lu Mu's eyes was replaced, as if he was brought to another world.

This is a pitch-black underground palace. Deep inside the palace, there is a withered corpse sitting there quietly.

Even the bones are almost weathered.

Next to the corpse were two rusty swords.

They stood on both sides of the corpse, one on the left and one on the right, like guards, but in fact it was not like that at all. Lu Mu could feel the terrifying power of the two rusty swords, forming an invisible giant net that enveloped the withered corpse.

That corpse belonged to the defender.

The real monster was in front of him. There was a corpse of an even larger monster. There was no sign of life at all. Black air was diffused faintly. It seemed that the corpse would never decay and the evil spirit would never be eliminated.

The sword was approaching, like a chain binding the monster.

"Do you know the name of this monster?"

Lu Mu asked the formation spirit next to him, and it also appeared here.

"General Qianmu, the 33rd in the Alien Legion. That's all I know. I don't know anything else. His body is dead, but his soul is still there, and he's been looking for a chance to escape."

The formation spirit replied.

Lu Mu nodded.

"So, do you have the confidence to kill it?" the formation spirit asked again.

"I can't kill it. It's too strong, and my body can't withstand the power of the formation. Maybe I can use some magic weapons to barely hold on for three or four breaths, but I will still die in the end."

The formation spirit was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "So you can't help?"

"…I can't say I can't help. In fact, I have another way."

Lu Mu hesitated and said.

He thought of a very important issue, that is, for a guy whose body has lost all life and only has his soul left, if he wants to escape, there are only two ways.

First, use the power of the soul itself to break through the seal of the formation and escape.

Second, find someone to take over the body, and it must be a strong body that can carry its entire soul, and then this power can be exerted unhindered.

From the conversation with the formation spirit just now, Lu Mu keenly noticed that after the Thousand Eyes King took over the body, it seemed that he didn't have time to take the next step before being directly wiped out by the formation spirit...

It had never seen any living being that could avoid being possessed.

So every time the Thousand-Eyed King takes over the body of a person, it will kill one more person, and this cycle will continue until the Thousand-Eyed King has exhausted the remaining strength in his soul, or the formation collapses first.

And Lu Mu had an idea in his mind.

Since that guy is trying his best to possess someone else's body...why not take advantage of him?

"What do you have in mind?" asked the formation spirit.

Lu Mu explained it in detail.

After listening to this, although the formation spirit had no face, Lu Mu could feel the "shock" emotion. The formation spirit was silent for a while before saying, "Will this really work?"

"You have no choice, because my body is precious and cannot be wasted so easily, but I have a way to deal with him. After all, he is just a soul, isn't he?"

"……it is good."

The formation spirit nodded and agreed.

The scene in front of them quickly disappeared. They were still inside Broken Sword Mountain. Looking at the core of the formation running smoothly in front of him, Lu Mu walked out of Broken Sword Mountain.

His method is actually very simple.

Because Luo Shuangning once killed the soul of an extraterritorial king in this way.

All he had to do was repeat the process in order to get the same result.

……

Under Broken Sword Mountain is the underground palace that Lu Mu had just seen.

The formation spirit showed him a clear path, and Lu Mu came down. After coming down, he saw the person guarding the formation and the corpse of the Thousand-Eyed King General.

They are all dead.

He has been dead for a long time, tens of thousands of years have passed.

Lu Mu bowed slightly to the corpse of the defender to show his respect, and then he sat cross-legged on the spot, and his hands moved around the route of practicing his internal energy. With this movement, there was a crackling sound from inside his body, and a strange wave surged out from his body, gradually enveloping him.

"...Hehe, you are here."

Thick black fog escaped from the stone walls surrounding the underground palace and continuously gathered in front of Lu Mu, until finally, it condensed into a ghostly shadow that was almost similar to the monster's corpse.

It swept around, and finally landed on Lu Mu, sneering: "It seems that you are planning to set a trap to lure me in, which is exactly what I want."

The Thousand-Eyed King is no fool.

His extremely weak remaining soul wanted to devour Lu Mu's soul and take over his body, but failed.

But now, this human has come here in person, and this is exactly the place that the formation outside cannot affect. What does this mean?

He was using his body as bait to lure him in.

This is obviously a trap.

But the Thousand-Eyed King would not care about this obvious trap, no matter what was waiting for him... because he was absolutely confident that he could win, and then this body would be his.

So, the Thousand-Eyed King would rush towards Lu Mu without any hesitation.

The black energy seeped into Lu Mu's eyes little by little until it disappeared completely.

Then, the two rusty swords beside the defender suddenly moved!

They flew high up, and then landed beside Lu Mu. A sword-like gale blew in the underground palace, and Lu Mu was in the eye of the gale.

Chapter 79: Please Fall into the Trap

Lu Mu opened his eyes.

He was still sitting cross-legged, but the scenery around him was completely different.

This is a vast and empty land. In the distance, you can see some mountains wrapped in thick fog. There are lush green fields under your feet. It looks like a misty fairyland, but there is an indescribable cold breath that permeates between heaven and earth.

Beside him were two ancient swords, one on his left and one on his right.

At this moment, the two swords were trembling, as if resisting some inexplicable force.

Because, a dark aura began to spread, and no one knew where it came from. The sky had begun to darken, and the mountains and villages in the distance collapsed. The green fields began to turn brown and purple, as if everything was infected with poison, and there was no life at all.

Here is Lu Mu’s sea of ​​consciousness.

And the soul of the Thousand-Eyed General has already come in.
