Chapter 449 The Strange Trio

Two people, one a young man, the other a tough guy.

The young man was sunny and carefree, as if the sun was always shining on him, making people feel happy.

There was also a sword next to the young man.

The man was tall and imposing, with a pair of deep, unfathomable blue eyes.

They all concealed their presence, making them difficult to see.

The two of them used a stone as a table, with a pot, two cups, and a few snacks and dried vegetables, and they drank to their hearts' content.

"Who is your honor?"

Upon seeing Liu Chengfeng, the young man quickly greeted him.

"Liu Chengfeng".

Liu Chengfeng knew from the sight of the two that they were not ordinary people, but he did not say anything.

"Mr. Liu is a great man, and I am Ma Rulong."

The young man hurriedly got up, bowed deeply, used a stone as a stool, and invited Liu Chengfeng to sit down.

The man's blue eyes suddenly burst forth with light, as if a hundred worlds were blooming, which was quite terrifying, before it quickly subsided.

"Master—"

The man also stood up, bowed, and introduced himself as "Fanta".

Liu Chengfeng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down with Aran in a very imposing manner.

"To meet such a great man in the wilderness is worth a toast."

Ma Rulong laughed and offered Liu Chengfeng a drink.

"It's not good for a young girl."

Liu Chengfeng, along with Aran, refused to drink alcohol.

"I happen to have a cup of good tea."

Brahma laughed and took out a tea set, which was extremely exquisite and consisted of divine treasures that could not be seen in the human world.

When the Buddha boils water and adds tea, the steam rises gently, like the roar of dragons and the dance of phoenixes; this is a divine product.

"I have long heard that you possess the Great Brahma Divine Treasure. Today, thanks to your great virtue, I am able to have a cup of it."

Ma Rulong drooled, laughed loudly, and couldn't wait to drink it immediately.

Fan Tuo poured tea, and also poured a cup for A Ran.

Liu Chengfeng and Ma Rulong tasted the tea and couldn't help but praise it, calling it a fine, divine tea.

Even the bewildered Aran began to savor it carefully; her blank eyes cleared somewhat, much to Liu Chengfeng's surprise.

He suddenly realized that Aran must have loved drinking tea in her past life.

"How about it?"

Brahma was more nervous than ever before, eager to hear Aran's comment.

"It's nowhere near as good as the coarse tea I used to drink."

Aran turned her head and earnestly uttered this comment.

"What--"

Ma Rulong screamed, nearly spilling the tea in his cup.

"What kind of coarse tea is that—"

Brahma was a little disoriented and cried out.

Only Liu Chengfeng was not surprised. Aran's past life was so extraordinary that the coarse tea she drank was unimaginable in this world.

"My tea is the best among the twelve heavens of Mad Dragon."

Brahma was somewhat discouraged and plopped down.

Arran returned to her dazed state and ignored them.

"You're not sitting here just to enjoy the mountain breeze, are you? It's quite cold there."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at them, not believing that their meeting was just a coincidence.

"We just happened to meet here, and we're here to talk about the world."

Ma Rulong and Fan Tuo exchanged a glance, their expressions unreadable. They were not friends, but they were not enemies either.

"What's the point of talking about the world?"

Liu Chengfeng held his cup and looked at them.

"I'm just curious. If the ancestral tower is about to collapse and the Chaotic Corridor drains the power of the divine will, the collapse of the Yanxi Heavenly Dynasty may not be far off."

Brahma was cautious, but his words were startling and disrespectful.

"The entire world of Yanxi Heavenly Dynasty worships the First God Emperor with unwavering devotion. His divine will will never perish, so how could it possibly collapse?"

Ma Rulong shook his head.

“I do not doubt the faith of the people of the Thousand Realms, but Brother Ma also knows that with the Central Tower out of contact and the Ancestral Tower exposed today, can the Celestial Empire be supported by only four Heavenly Continent Towers?”

Brahma disagreed and shook his head.

"What can't we support—"

Ma Rulong was unconvinced.

"Not necessarily. With His Majesty Yingchen missing and without the Ancestral Tower, the Great Freedom of the Four Heavenly Continents Towers is also weak. What can they use to fight against the Divine Tang World!"

"Let the rulers of the six districts of Shentang come; what do we have to fear from the four continents of Yanxi?"

Ma Rulong laughed heartily, his spirit soaring like a rainbow.

"What if it were Venerable Botang?"

Brahma asked a question in return.

Ma Rulong's pupils shrank involuntarily.

"This is not meant to belittle the Celestial Empire, but it is difficult to rival the Celestial Venerable Botang!"

Brahma shook his head.

"What about the Lord of Stars and the God of War?"

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice.

"Who can stand against the True God of Black Flame?"

Brahma then asked another question.

Ma Rulong opened his mouth as if to speak, then shut up.

"Actually, there's no need for that. Rumor has it that the True God of Chasing the Emperor has been trying to comprehend the ultimate freedom of the Ancestral Tower. I wonder if he has succeeded."

Brahma asked with a smile.

Ma Rulong didn't say.

"If the True God of Chasing Emperors can obtain the ultimate freedom of the Ancestral Domain's Great Freedom—the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword, then what difficulty would it be for Heavenly Venerable Tui Botang?"

Brahma inquired.

"The True God of Chasing the Emperor is the most steadfast among us, and the one most capable of touching the God Emperor. It is only natural that he can comprehend the Divine Realm Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Ma Rulong did not give a direct answer.

"That's true. After His Majesty Yingchen, the True God of Chasing Emperors is the most likely person to comprehend the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Brahma nodded in agreement.

"What is the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword?"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but interject, saying that they had so many tricks up their sleeves, and even the gods could play them with great freedom.

Even he, the true first god emperor of all time, never thought of these tricks.

"You don't know, sir?"

Fan Tuo and Ma Rulong looked at Liu Chengfeng in surprise.

"All sorts of arrogance, all sorts of supernatural powers, dazzling the eye."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

Each world has a World Tower, and there are thousands of World Towers. Each World Tower possesses a great supernatural power.

There are also Tianzhou Pagoda and Zu Pagoda, just to give yourself a great deal of freedom.

Even though all divine desires were confined within the Heavenly Kingdom, he was still dazzled by them.

"The Ancestral Pagoda possesses a great freedom called the Sky-Gazing Cauldron, and within the Sky-Gazing Cauldron lies the ultimate great freedom, called the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Ma Rulong told Liu Chengfeng.

"The Celestial Cauldron?"

Liu Chengfeng found it even stranger; they really had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

"Back then, His Majesty Yingchen held the Heavenly Cauldron and wielded the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword. He was invincible."

Brahma sighed, recalling the invincible figure of the Goddess Cherry Blossom, who swept across thousands of realms.

"The Sky-Gazing Cauldron, what kind of cauldron is it?" Liu Chengfeng was very curious about where the Sky-Gazing Cauldron came from.

"Brother Dao knows better than I do."

Ma Rulong asked Brahma to speak.

Brahma did not refuse and told Liu Chengfeng what the Sky-Gazing Cauldron looked like.

"The Celestial Cauldron—"

Liu Chengfeng was speechless, realizing what they meant by the Sky-Gazing Cauldron.

It's the stone basket that Brother Wanlan uses. The problem is, the real thing is in his hands, yet they can make Zuta feel so free.

As for the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword, he understood what it was.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword—"

Liu Chengfeng was somewhat emotional. Back then, he shattered the sky with a single sword strike, piercing through the world and the universe. No wonder it was called the "Heaven-Slaying Sword".

"Back then, His Majesty entrusted the Heaven-Gazing Cauldron to obtain the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword, and his power overwhelmed the Upper Three Heavens, forcing even the Heavenly Gods and the Golden Ring Heavenly God to retreat."

Ma Rulong laughed heartily, exuding a heroic air, and glanced at Fan Tuo once more.

Brahma remained silent, because the goddess Yingchen back then was indeed terrifying in that state.

Liu Chengfeng was both amused and exasperated; he could imagine such a scene.

He had done things like carrying a stone basket to retrieve a sword and suppressing ten thousand enemies.

The problem is, this is not the real thing. It was created by the divine will of the people of the Thousand Realms, and it possesses great freedom and terrifying power.

"One can be oneself, and one can become a god."

Liu Chengfeng sighed, never imagining that when he made that wish, he would come up with so many creative ways to use it.

"The Great Master is truly devout, always keeping in mind the Divine Emperor's wishes, which resonate in his heart."

Ma Rulong gave a big thumbs up.

Liu Chengfeng was both amused and exasperated.

The real God Emperor was right in front of them.

"Ying Chen used the God Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Sword to intimidate not only the Heavenly Gods but also the Golden Ring Heavenly God. What can Yan Xi God use to intimidate them?"

Liu Chengfeng had doubts.

The god Yanxi descended upon the Twelve Heavens of Mad Dragon, breaking the monopoly of the gods Buyou and Jinhuan, and establishing the Yanxi Heavenly Dynasty.

Even though Yanxi God left, the Heavenly God and the Golden Ring Heavenly God were still there, which at least shows that Yanxi God at that time could not kill them.

Strangely, after the God of Yanxi left, neither the Heavenly God nor the Golden Ring Heavenly God took action to destroy the Yanxi Heavenly Dynasty.

"It is up to you, fellow Daoist, to say this."

Ma Rulong looked at Fan Tuo.

Brahma didn't speak, but lowered his head and drank his tea.

"Brother Dao, you couldn't have come here for no reason, could you?"

Ma Rulong shook his head and smiled.

"Did you also happen to come and keep me company in the cold wind? The wind in the mountains is a bit chilly; it'll be warmer if two people drink together."

Tuofan laughed loudly.

"You've all come for Long Shang?"

Seeing that they remained silent, Liu Chengfeng blurted out the truth.

"The Master knows about Dragon's Lament—"

Brahma stood up abruptly.

"Dragon's Lament—"

Ma Rulong's eyes flickered.

"I wouldn't come here just to drink the mountain air, would I?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at them.

"So, fellow Daoist, you didn't come here to drink the mountain air with me."

Ma Rulong laughed loudly, looking at Fan Tuo.

"We certainly didn't come here to just enjoy the mountain breeze."

Brahma sat down without batting an eye.

"Tell me about Long Shang."

Liu Chengfeng wanted to know more.

"It is said that even the God of Yanxi could not defeat the Golden Ring God and his group back then, but she possessed an extremely terrifying item that even the Golden Ring God and his group dared not touch."

Brahma spoke the truth.

"Brother Dao, what a wonderful rumor you've heard."

Ma Rulong smiled and shook his head.

"Don't tell me you've never heard of Long Shang?"

Brahma's gaze was like that of a tiger, and his eyes were like those of a dragon.

“Dragon's Lament, I don’t know what it is, but the Collapsed Corridor couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere. There must be a reason why you’re here, so I’ve come too.”

Ma Rulong was very frank and honest.

"It seems that those who know the truth are not telling you."

Brahma understood.

"It's not too late to know now."

Ma Rulong didn't mind, and smiled broadly, like a sunny boy.

"So, Yanxi God once threatened the God of No Heaven and the God of Golden Ring with the Dragon's Lament."

Liu Chengfeng looked at Tuofan.

"It's uncertain; not many people have seen it with their own eyes."

Tuofan shook his head.

"Aren't you leaving? Are you going to keep getting cold?"

At this moment, an old cripple climbed up the mountain. He had a limp in his right leg and walked with a shaky gait.

The old cripple was short, dressed in a gray, tattered coat. His drooping eye bags obscured his eyes, but when he lifted them, a terrifying light flashed.

"You, the butcher, didn't leave either, did you?"

Ma Rulong laughed heartily.

"Brother Tu, would you like a drink?"

Tuofan invited them to use a stone as a stool.

The old cripple butcher snorted coldly, showing no interest in him.

"We have guests."

The butcher was also unfriendly to Liu Chengfeng; when he lifted his eyelids, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"This is Mr. Liu."

Ma Rulong, fearing he might offend him, offered a reminder.

"Mr. Liu?"

The butcher glanced at Liu Chengfeng, but remained unmoved and indifferent.

Ma Rulong whispered something to him, and he felt a chill run down his spine, understanding.

"I have met Mr. Liu."

The butcher then bowed slightly, his expression still strange.

Liu Chengfeng looked at the three of them; their relationship was quite strange.

"It's impossible for everyone to happen to be together by such a coincidence. I'm an open and honest person who likes to speak frankly."

"This place is sealed with the Abyss of the Dragon's Demise, where the Dragon's Death was once imprisoned. I came here for this reason. What about you?"

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly and looked around at them.

"I came here to chase after the Dragon's Lament."

Brahma was also at ease.

"Since we're all speaking frankly, I won't hide anything either. I was worried about you coming here, so I had to keep an eye on you."

Ma Rulong laughed heartily.

"If you guard him, can you defeat him?"

The butcher snorted coldly.
