Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Zhu Feifei felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a powerful suction force came, as if it were tearing his soul apart. Then, he lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feifei slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a hazy, gray space. There was no sky, no earth, only endless chaos, like the primordial scene before the creation of heaven and earth.

"What...what kind of place is this?" Zhu Feifei was completely bewildered. He tried to take a step forward, but found that his body was light and airy, as if it had no weight. With the slightest movement, he floated far away.

"Am I... having an out-of-body experience?" Zhu Feifei was startled and quickly looked down to check her body, only to find that she had turned into a semi-transparent energy body. She could vaguely see her internal organs, and even the few buns and half a roast chicken inside were clearly visible.

"This is a side effect of the time jump, a normal phenomenon, don't make a fuss." The voice of the Ringwraith Little White rang in Zhu Feifei's mind, but this time its voice sounded weak and intermittent, "We... should now be in the 'Primordial Land'... a spacetime... crevices..."

"The Primordial Land? What kind of place is that?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“A…place where all worlds began…” Xiaobai’s voice trailed off, as if it might disappear at any moment, “Be careful… here… it’s unstable…”

"Xiaobai? Xiaobai? What's wrong?" Zhu Feifei was startled when she heard Xiaobai's voice and quickly asked.

But Xiaobai didn't answer him again and fell completely silent.

"This damn ring, it always fails me at the crucial moment!" Zhu Feifei couldn't help but complain, but he also knew that now was not the time to complain; he had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

He tried to activate the spiritual power within his body, but found that his spiritual power was also intermittent, sometimes present and sometimes absent, and could not be condensed at all.

"This is really troublesome!" Zhu Feifei thought to himself, feeling like a fly trapped in a balloon, unable to exert any strength and forced to drift with the tide.

Just then, he saw strange lights appear in the chaotic space ahead. These lights, like lightning, darted through the space, making crackling sounds.

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Feifei curiously leaned closer, but suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from the light, almost pulling him in.

"Holy crap! This is a spatial rift!" Zhu Feifei was so frightened that she quickly retreated. These lights were actually spatial rifts. If she were sucked in, she would truly be reduced to ashes.

He carefully avoided the spatial rifts, drifting through this chaotic space. He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly saw a huge vortex in front of him. The center of the vortex shimmered with multicolored light, looking very tempting, but it also contained endless dangers.

"This is... the exit?" Zhu Feifei's heart stirred. He felt his "Moonlight Ring" resonating with the vortex, as if guiding him into it.

"Never mind, I'll risk it all!" Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth and flew towards the vortex.

Just as he was about to enter the vortex, suddenly, a huge black lightning bolt struck out from the vortex and headed straight for him.

"Holy crap! It even has lightning strikes!" Zhu Feifei was terrified and hurriedly dodged, but the black lightning seemed to have eyes and kept chasing after him.

"Oh my god! What kind of place is this?!" Zhu Feifei shouted as she dodged, "Xiaobai! Xiaobai! Where are you! Come save me!"

However, the Ringwraith White still did not respond.

Zhu Feifei was chased by the black lightning and was about to be hit when suddenly, the "Moonlight Ring" emitted a dazzling light, enveloping him and then pulling him headlong into the vortex.

"Ah—!" Zhu Feifei let out a scream, and then lost consciousness.

After a dizzying spin, Zhu Feifei felt herself fall heavily to the ground.

"Ouch! My butt!" He rubbed his butt and got up, only to find that he had left the chaotic space and arrived in a strange valley.

The valley presents a peculiar landscape: one half is a frozen wasteland with biting winds, while the other half is volcanic lava with intense heat. The juxtaposition of these two contrasting scenes creates a bizarre yet spectacular panorama.

"Where...where is this?" Zhu Feifei was completely bewildered. He found that his body had returned to normal, but the spiritual energy within him was still somewhat disordered.

"Welcome to 'Valley of Ice and Fire,' a cursed place." The Ringwraith's voice rang out again, but it was still somewhat weak.

"Xiaobai? You're finally awake!" Zhu Feifei said. "What exactly happened? How did we get here?"

"This is...the domain of the goddesses Bihan and Bishu......" Xiaobai explained haltingly, "We just...passed through...a spacetime rift...and arrived here..."

"Repelling cold? Repelling heat? What kind of goddess is that?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“They are…twin sisters who govern…the seasons…” Xiaobai’s voice grew weaker and weaker, “Because of some…misunderstandings…they became enemies…causing this world…the seasons to become unbalanced…”

"An imbalance of seasons? No wonder it's cold on one side and hot on the other, like a hot pot with two separate broths!" Zhu Feifei suddenly realized.

"You...be careful...of the guardian beasts here..." After saying this, Xiaobai fell silent.

"Little White? Little White?" Zhu Feifei called out hurriedly, but Little White, the spirit of the Ring, did not respond.

"Sigh, this damn ring, it failed me again at the crucial moment!" Zhu Feifei sighed helplessly, then began to look around at her surroundings.

He found himself standing in the middle of a narrow passage in the valley, with snow-covered cliffs on one side and lava-flowing volcanic rock walls on the other, which looked very dangerous.

"This place is too weird!" Zhu Feifei couldn't help but complain, "It's freezing cold on one side and unbearably hot on the other, this is trying to kill this pig!"

He wrapped his clothes tighter around himself, trying to ward off the cold, but was soon forced to sweat profusely by the heat.

"No, I have to get out of here right now!" Zhu Feifei thought to himself as he walked forward along the passage, hoping to find an exit.

However, he had only taken a few steps when suddenly, the ground shook violently, and an ice beast and a lava beast rushed out from the two sides of the valley.

The Frost Beast was enormous, resembling a lizard clad in ice armor, radiating a chilling aura that froze everything in its path. It opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp ice teeth, and hurled an ice arrow at Zhu Feifei.

On the other side, the lava beast resembled a burning tiger, its body composed of lava, radiating a scorching aura. With each step, it left lava footprints on the ground. It opened its mouth and spat out a fireball the size of a water vat, which flew towards Zhu Feifei.

"Holy crap! They even attacked from both sides!" Zhu Feifei was startled and quickly dodged.

The ice arrow and fireball grazed past Zhu Feifei and struck the ground behind her, producing a sizzling sound as the ice and snow melted and the rocks turned black.

"Roar!" The Ice Beast and Lava Beast were even more enraged when their attack missed, and they pounced on Zhu Feifei again.

"These two guys are pretty fierce!" Seeing this, Zhu Feifei quickly pulled out a nine-bead bracelet from his pocket. "Looks like you won't know how powerful I, Old Zhu, am until I teach you a lesson!"

He transformed the nine-bead bracelet into a nine-toothed rake and charged towards the two giant beasts.

"Take this from Old Zhu!" Zhu Feifei shouted, brandishing his nine-toothed rake and smashing it towards the Frost Beast.

With a loud clang, the nine-toothed rake struck the head of the ice beast, producing a metallic clang, leaving only a shallow mark on its ice armor.

"Roar!" The Frost Beast, in pain and even more enraged, opened its mouth and spat out an even thicker ice arrow.

At the same time, the lava beast pounced, opening its blood-red maw to bite Zhu Feifei.

"Ouch!" Zhu Feifei quickly dodged when she saw this, but she was still grazed by the lava beast's claws and immediately felt a burning pain.

"These two guys are tough and hard to deal with!" Zhu Feifei thought to herself.

He realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would suffer losses sooner or later.

"We need to think of a way!" Zhu Feifei thought of a solution while dodging.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

"Hehe, I've got it!" Zhu Feifei grinned mischievously, then deliberately created an opening to lure the Frost Beast and the Lava Beast into attacking him at the same time.

As expected, the two giant beasts fell for the trap and pounced on Zhu Feifei at the same time.

Just then, Zhu Feifei suddenly dodged their attack and quickly ran to the narrow passage in the middle of the valley.

The Frost Beast and the Lava Beast lost their momentum and crashed headfirst into the opposite rock wall.

"Boom!" A loud crash echoed, sending debris flying everywhere. Both giant beasts were left dazed and confused.

"Now!" Zhu Feifei seized the opportunity to swing his nine-toothed rake and smash it down on the heads of the two giant beasts.

"Clang! Clang!" With two loud crashes, the nine-toothed rake slammed down on the heads of the two giant beasts, knocking them to the ground.

"Roar!" "Hiss!" The two giant beasts let out painful howls, but they could no longer stand up.

"Hehe, done!" Zhu Feifei laughed triumphantly. "Let's see if you can be so arrogant now!"

Just as he was about to step forward to check on the two giant beasts, a violent tremor suddenly came from the depths of the valley, as if something was about to burst out of the ground.

"Oh no, this valley is about to collapse!" Zhu Feifei's expression changed, and she quickly ran towards the outside of the valley.
