Chaotic Sword God

Yang Kai, the ancestor of the Yang family, had become a late Overgod many years ago. Not only was he famed within the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, but he was also well-renowned and influential in the neighbouring divine kingdoms as well.

At the same time, he was known as the most powerful expert below Overgod in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Both his status and influence had surpassed the commander of the Royal Divine Army, who possessed similar strength to him, Xuan Dou.

Even though this was due to the fact that Xuan Dou always maintained a low profile and did not desire to excel over others, many people believed that Xuan Dou was not as great as Yang Kai, which was why he behaved like that.

As a result, Yang Kai was as dominant as the midday sun in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Only the divine king and the Grand Imperial Protector were able to keep him at bay.

However, his great fame had brought endless benefits to his Yang family as well. It allowed his Yang family to become known as the greatest clan in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian long ago, allowing them to enjoy great honor. They were held in veneration and greatly respected by people.

However, this all changed after the battle between Yang Kai and the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen.

In the battle, Yang Kai, who had been known as the most powerful below Godking in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, actually lost to Jian Chen, the patriarch of a clan that had only been founded a few dozen years ago. Not only did Yang Kai lose his title of being the greatest below Godking and his reputation, but even the Yang family was greatly affected. Their status was nowhere as great as the past.

To Yang Kai, this was a disgrace, a permanent stain to his name.

Although he was a late Overgod, having cultivated for several dozen millenia, in no way was he a generous man. The humiliation he experienced after the battle had gradually transformed into a sense of hatred. He was no longer able to treat Jian Chen like someone he could get along with now.

Jian Chen’s expression remained the same. He glanced past Yang Kai indifferently before smiling apologetically. He clasped his fist at the Overgods in the hall and said, “There was quite a lot of distance to travel, so I spent some time on the road. I’ve made you all wait. I deeply apologise.”

“Hahaha, the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan is far too polite. Isn’t it just three days? That’s just a blink of an eye to us…”

“Brother Jian Chen, you’re cursing me if you put it like that. I only arrived a little earlier than you. If you say it like that, wouldn’t it be me who made everyone wait…”

…

The Overgods on the seats all stood up after they heard Jian Chen’s words. They all clasped their fists at Jian Chen with a smile as they spoke extremely politely.

Clearly, Jian Chen’s prestige was far greater than Yang Kai’s in the Divine Kingdom of  Pingtian now. Aside from Yang Kai, all the Overgods showed him respect.

On the other hand, Yang Kai’s face instantly sank deeply when he saw so many people support Jian Chen.

Jian Chen ignored Yang Kai. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, he directly made his way to his seat.

The seats were placed in two rows, one on the left and one on the right, with a walkway through the centre. Every single seat had a name engraved on it. Jian Chen just happened to be seated at the very front on the right side. The seat happened to be the closest to the king’s throne.

Xuan Dou sat in the second seat, right next to Jian Chen.

As for Yang Kai, he sat on the first seat on the left row. Jian Chen just happened to sit in front of Yang Kai.

Yang Kai glanced at Jian Chen coldly before closing his eyes straightforwardly.

Jian Chen did not worry about Yang Kai. Yang Kai was not his opponent before, and now that he had become relatively stronger than before, Yang Kai was even less of an opponent now.

Jian Chen crossed his legs on the large, luxurious seat. He closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for the divine king’s arrival.

Immediately, the hubbub Jian Chen’s arrival caused quietened again. It was completely silent now.

“His majesty has arrived!”

At this moment, a loud and vigorous voice broke the silence in the hall.

The eyes of all the Overgods present snapped open at the same time, and they stood up from their seats.
