As a result, none of the Overgods responded to Master Chanlong's question. They all stared at Jianchen coldly.
"I am Jianchen. I belong to no sect, just an independent cultivator," Jianchen clasped his hands emotionlessly.
The Overgods all let out a sigh of relief when they heard that Jianchen was an independent cultivator. Afterwards, their gazes towards Jianchen became even sharper.
"Kid, the key to the dwelling is with you. Who knows how many times you've come here in the past. You must have benefited greatly in the past few years." A skinny, middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and glared at Jianchen. At the same time, a powerful presence radiated from him, directly crushing towards Jianchen.
The skinny, middle-aged man was an early Overgod. When his presence crushed towards Jianchen, Jianchen immediately felt like he was in a surging sea, where endless waves slammed towards him.
If he had not broken through with the Laws of the Sword, he definitely would not have been able to withstand the middle-aged man's powerful presence. However, his Laws of the Sword had reached Sword Spirit now. Although his personal cultivation was still lacking, he was at the same level as the middle-aged man after all. As a matter of fact, he was slightly more powerful than the middle-aged man.
Jianchen's face did not change. Suddenly, a sharp sword Qi radiated from him. At that moment, he seemed to have become a shining sword. The powerful, invisible sword Qi directly shattered the middle-aged man's tremendous presence. The middle-aged man's presence was unable to approach Jianchen at all.
Jianchen did not lose out at all in a clash of presences because his cultivation was no lower than the skinny, middle-aged man's.
A gleam of light flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes. He stared at Jianchen in surprise as if he had never thought that Jianchen's comprehension of laws would be on the same level as his.
"Hmm? He's actually comprehended the Laws of the Sword! " A gentle voice of surprise rang out from behind the crowd. An old man with an ancient sword on his back walked out. To no surprise, he was Ling Hougong from the Swordseeking province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
Ling Hougong stared at Jianchen with shining eyes. His eyes shone brighter and brighter as he smiled, "Old Man, you've finally come across an Overgod who has also comprehended the Laws of the Sword. Jianchen, once the matter with the Divine King Duanmu is over, why don't we find an opportunity to spar? We can discuss the way of the sword together!" Ling Hougong's gaze was magnanimous as righteousness revolved around him. He seemed like a gentleman, and his eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
He was a sword fanatic, but ever since he became an Overgod, he could no longer find an expert at the same level as him to spar with. Because of this, he had once left the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian and travelled through the surrounding divine kingdoms. Although he had come across a few people who had also comprehended the Laws of the Sword, they were basically all Deities and Gods. He had never seen an Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword, which filled him with great regret.
Yet today, he had come across an Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword after so many years of searching to no avail. How could Ling Hougong not be excited?
As Ling Hougong walked out, a sliver of fear flashed through the eyes of many of the surrounding Overgods. Although Ling Hougong was an early Overgod, he comprehended the Laws of the Sword, one of the laws with the greatest offensive prowess among the three thousand laws.
With the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Slaughter, Ling Hougong was extremely powerful. Very few Overgods who had comprehended other laws were his opponent at the same level of cultivation.
As a matter of fact, Ling Hougong had even fought against a mid Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of Fire in the past. The battle actually ended in a draw.
From then on, Ling Hougong's name spread across all the divine kingdoms in the surroundings.
Jianchen could naturally sense that Ling Hougong was a straightforward person, or it would have been impossible for him to be surrounded by righteousness. As a result, he clasped his fist and said, "If the opportunity arises in the future, I will definitely discuss the sword with senior."
"Hahaha, what senior? Jianchen, you can just call me Ling Hougong," Ling Hougong laughed loudly. Ling Hougong laughed aloud. He was overjoyed that he had found an Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword with him.
However, Ling Hougong's eyes narrowed soon afterwards. He stared at Jianchen in surprise and doubt and said, "Jianchen, what's your cultivation? You don't seem to be an Overgod. " Ling Hougong was extremely surprised when he saw through Jianchen's cultivation. Although he was unable to see through Jianchen's strength accurately, the senses of an Overgod were astonishing. He discovered that not only was Jianchen not an Overgod, but he was not even a God.
"An Overgod who has comprehended laws with such a low level of cultivation. Ling Hougong was extremely shocked. A situation like Jian Chen's was extremely rare in the Saints' World because no one possessed such a heaven-defying ability to comprehend laws. Their comprehension of laws had actually surpassed their cultivation by so much.
Moreover, he could tell with a single glance that Jianchen's cultivation was low. It was not because he was injured. Instead, he really had yet to cultivate.
Ling Hougong could sense Jianchen's abnormality, so the other Overgods could naturally tell as well. Immediately, the light in their eyes flickered.
"Looks like you've benefited a lot in the Divine King Duanmu's dwelling," the skinny man sneered. He yelled at Jianchen coldly, "So what if your comprehension is at the level of an Overgod? You're still not the opponent of an Overgod with such a huge difference in cultivation. Kid, hand over your Space Ring obediently and tell us what kind of fortuitous encounter you've obtained in the dwelling that allowed your comprehension of laws to increase so quickly. If your answer satisfies us, we might spare you. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences are."
Jianchen's face immediately sank when he heard the skinny man's vicious words. Jianchen stared at him coldly and growled, "If you want my Space Ring, then take it yourself. Let's see if you have the right to take it or not."
"You're looking to die!" Killing intent flashed through the skinny man's eyes. A spear appeared in his hand, and he directly stabbed it towards Jianchen with the Laws of Wood. Although Jianchen's comprehension of the Laws of the Sword was no weaker than his, his personal cultivation was not worth mentioning. As a result, the skinny man naturally did not treat Jianchen with any importance.
Even though that was the case, the skinny man did not become careless. He used the power of laws as soon as he struck out.
A cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. However, at this moment, Ling Hougong struck out. He directly drew the ancient sword on his back, and it shone brightly as it landed on the skinny man's spear with surging sword Qi. Just this strike forced the skinny man to take a step back.
"Ling Hougong, what are you doing?" The skinny man glared at Ling Hougong as a sliver of fear flashed through the depths of his eyes.
"The Divine King Duanmu is dead, so the treasures will naturally belong to the fated," Ling Hougong said righteously as he held his sword.
The skinny man's face sank. If Ling Hougong really wanted to protect Jianchen, there really was nothing he could do with his strength. However, when he glanced past all the Overgods around him, he could not help but sneer. Ling Hougong was very powerful, but there were still a few people who could suppress him here.
Just when the skinny, middle-aged man wanted to ask someone to suppress Ling Hougong, Jian Chen's voice rang out, "Ling Hougong, since he wants my Space Ring so much, let him come and take it. If he wants my Space Ring, let's see if he has the ability or not."
