Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

In front of Chengfeng is a high cliff that rises into the clouds.

On the cliff that looked like a pillar of heaven, a giant with a huge body was chained to the cliff.

The giant was a hundred feet tall and as strong as a whale, his body tightly bound by five huge iron chains.

His limbs were fixed to the mountain wall with iron chains, and his collarbone was locked to the cliff with an iron chain around his neck.

The giant was completely naked, with only leaves to cover his body.

Even more shocking was that his chest was torn apart, exposing his internal organs.

On his chest, a huge eagle was standing, greedily pecked at his exposed liver.

Every time the eagle pecked at the giant, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. His face was distorted and his body was shaking violently, looking horrible.

Seeing the tragic scene before him, Chengfeng suddenly realized that the screams by the Beihai Lake actually came from the mouth of this giant.

Thinking of Diao Chan suffering from this torture day and night, he became furious and wanted to cut off the giant's tongue to stop the source of this pain.

However, looking at the giant's painful appearance, he felt it difficult to do it.

At the same time, countless questions swirled in my mind: Who is this giant? Why is he being tortured like this?

In this situation, why hasn't he died yet?

Staring at the tragic state of the giant in front of him, Chengfeng's heart was filled with waves.

He decided to uncover the truth behind this to bring peace to this land and to clear the haze from Diao Chan's heart.

The vulture was unaware of Chengfeng's silent approach and still stood proudly on the giant's chest, greedily enjoying this "delicacy" that should not belong to the mortal world.

That huge body, feathers as deep as the night, seemed like an invincible armor given by nature, and it thought it was enough to look down on everything in the world.

He greedily savored this endless pain, with no sympathy in his eyes, only satisfaction.

As time goes by, it has never encountered any challenger, and this feast has lasted for three thousand years.

The vulture's naturally arrogant attitude was intolerable in Chengfeng's eyes.

Seeing the giant's body being ruthlessly devoured, he moved with the wind.

"Whoosh——" a sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

The male and female swords leaped out from Cheng Feng's waist like dragons and phoenixes dancing.

These two swords were carefully carved by Yuanshi Tianzun using the black jade from the top of Kunlun Mountain. The sword bodies are one blue and one red, complementing each other.

It is sharp enough to cut through anything in the world, and its brilliance can illuminate the deepest desires and fears of the human heart.

Chengfeng stretched out his body, like an arrow shot from a bow, and went straight for the vulture's vital point.

The two swords in his hands seemed to have spirituality, and they pierced the vulture's chest with ease.

"Pfft!"

Followed by two dull sounds, the former overlord let out a desperate wail.

The vulture flapped its wings and tried to fly, but in the end it was powerless and fell into the depths of the bottomless valley.

Chengfeng flicked his fingertips, the sword gestures flew, and five green and red sword lights cut through the sky.

The giant iron chains that bound the giant broke one by one after a loud crash.

Along with the sound of falling gravel and iron chains, it disappeared into the abyss of the valley.

The painful howl suddenly stopped, and the giant slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chengfeng.

There was both relief and indescribable complex emotions in his eyes.

He howled to the sky, his voice filled with accusations and resentment towards fate.

"Oh Zeus, you have imprisoned me here, letting vultures peck at me for pleasure, as an eternal insult. For three thousand years, this endless torture, how cruel you are!"

After saying this, the giant muttered to himself again, mentioning the name that haunted him - Persephone.

His tone was full of worry and tenderness, as if in this desperate place, only the distant concern could give him a little warmth.

Facing the giant's venting, although Chengfeng felt dissatisfied, he also understood his mood at the moment.

Putting away his two swords, Cheng Feng slowly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why did you end up in such a situation?"

The giant's eyes were blurred, as if he was reminiscing, or trying to escape.

"Who am I? Who should I be? Am I Prometheus? Or am I Kuafu, the man chasing the sun?"

The giant shook his head. "I have forgotten. I only know that this body and this soul are imprisoned here and cannot be freed."

The giant spoke crazily, and Chengfeng couldn't help but frown.

"How could you be so perverted? I saved your life, but not only are you not grateful to me, you even refuse to tell me your name?"

The giant did not answer him, but touched his chest and abdomen with his hands.

A strange thing happened. His internal organs, which were originally exposed, actually grew a belly again.

Moreover, the belly is slowly closing.

Seeing this change, Chengfeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the giant had similar abilities to himself.

After a while, the giant looked down at his belly again. Seeing that his belly had healed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little brother! Thank you for saving me. After so many years, I didn't expect someone would be able to save me. God is really merciful."

It seems that the giant is not crazy. Chengfeng looked at him and couldn't help asking:

"My dear brother, you are so tall and strong, why did you end up like this? Who tied you up here and tortured you like this?"

Upon hearing this, the giant sighed and a trace of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes.

"Little brother, I am Kuafu, a fierce general under the command of Emperor Chiyou."

"Kuafu?"

Chengfeng was shocked: "Are you the foolish Kuafu who chased the sun in the legend?"

"Stupid?"

Kuafu frowned slightly and said, "Little brother, why do you say I am so stupid?"

Cheng Feng laughed and said, "Legend has it that you thought you were so tall and mighty that you had to race with the sun in the sky."

"But, in the end, he ended up dying of thirst in a foreign land. Isn't that extremely stupid?"

As soon as Chengfeng finished speaking, Kuafu's old face showed pain and he raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Little brother, do you know that it is because of my self-improvement and my unremitting pursuit that the people there have fire, light, and hope to survive."

Kuafu looked a little excited.

"It was because of my stupidity that I gave them warmth and life in the cold night."

"If it weren't for my efforts, my people would still be living in endless darkness and desolation."

Cheng Feng was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Kuafu took a long breath to calm down the excitement in his heart. He sighed and spoke slowly.

"Little brother, it's a long story. You are my benefactor, so I shouldn't hide anything from you. If you want to hear it, I will tell you everything."

Chengfeng nodded.
