Yang Kai was the ancestor of the Yang family in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. He had reached late Overgod many years ago. Not only was he renowned in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, but he was even renowned and influential in the surrounding divine kingdoms.
Moreover, Yang Kai was known as the greatest expert below the Divine King in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Both his status and influence directly surpassed the commander of the Royal Divine Army, Xuan Dou, who was at the same level of cultivation as him.
Even though this was due to Xuan Dou always keeping a low profile and never being competitive, many people believed that Xuan Dou was not as great as Yang Kai, which was why he kept such a low profile.
As a result, Yang Kai's fame in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian was like the midday sun. Only the divine king and the Grand Imperial Protector could suppress him.
His fame brought the Yang family countless benefits, allowing them to sit on the throne of the greatest clan in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian for many years. They enjoyed great glory and were respected and revered by everyone.
However, all of this changed with the battle between the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Kai, and the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen.
In that battle, Yang Kai, who was known as the greatest expert below the Divine King, had actually been defeated by the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, who had only made a name for himself a few decades ago. Not only did Yang Kai lose his status as the greatest expert below the Divine King, but his reputation was damaged as well. Even the Yang family was greatly affected. Their status was nowhere near as great as before.
This was a humiliation to Yang Kai, a humiliation that he would never be able to wash away.
Although he was a late Overgod who had cultivated for who knows how many years, he was not a forgiving person. The humiliation he felt after his defeat gradually turned into hatred. Naturally, he was unable to get along well with Jianchen now that he saw him.
Jianchen remained the same as before. He glanced past Yang Kai indifferently before smiling apologetically. He clasped his fist at the Overgods in the hall and said, "It's been a long journey, so I've wasted some time. I apologise for making you wait."
"Hahaha, the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan is far too polite. It's only three days. To us, it's just the blink of an eye …"
"Brother Jianchen, you're scolding me. I just arrived not long before you. According to what you're saying, I've made everyone wait for a long time …"
.....
The Overgods all stood up when they heard Jianchen's words. They all clasped their fists towards Jianchen with smiles as they spoke extremely politely.
Jianchen was clearly much more powerful than Yang Kai in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian right now. Aside from Yang Kai, all the Overgods present showed him respect.
On the other hand, when Yang Kai saw that there were actually so many people supporting Jianchen, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.
Jianchen ignored Yang Kai. After exchanging some pleasantries with everyone, he directly made his way to his seat and sat down.
The seats were split into two rows. The centre was a corridor, and every single seat had a name engraved on it. Jianchen's seat happened to be the first on the right. It was also the seat closest to the divine king's dragon throne.
Xuan Dou sat in the second seat, right next to Jianchen.
Yang Kai sat in the first seat on the left. Now that Jianchen had sat down, he was directly facing Yang Kai.
Yang Kai glanced at Jianchen coldly before closing his eyes.
Jianchen did not take Yang Kai seriously either. Yang Kai was not his opponent in the past, and now that his strength had increased by quite a lot, Yang Kai was even less of an opponent.
Jianchen also sat down on the spacious and luxurious chair. He closed his eyes and rested as he waited for the divine king's arrival quietly.
Immediately, the hall that had been bustling with Jianchen's arrival fell silent once again. It was so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heard.
"His majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, a loud and vigorous voice broke the silence in the main hall.
The Overgods who sat there all opened their eyes at the same time at that moment. All of them stood up from their chairs.
The divine king strode over in his dragon crown and dragon robes. He did not walk quickly, but every step he took seemed to resonate with the hearts of all the Overgods gathered there. Every single step seemed to land on the hearts of all the Overgods, forming a tremendous pressure that enveloped everyone.
All the Overgods gathered in the hall held their breaths at this moment. They showed a sliver of respect as they could not help but lower their heads and nod slightly.
The light in Jianchen's eyes flickered as he lowered his head slightly as well. However, he murmured inside, "The divine king is so powerful. Probably even the nine late Divine King experts I saw in the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair are not as powerful as him."
Jianchen knew that late Divine King experts differed drastically in strength. All the people who could sit on the throne of the Divine King, regardless of whether they were ranked or not, possessed strength equivalent to late Divine King experts.
Those who were ranked on the throne of the Divine King would still possess cultivation equivalent to late Divine King experts, but those who ranked in the top ten would possess strength equivalent to early Primordial realm experts. The best among them could directly kill Primordial realm experts with strength equivalent to late Divine King experts. It was extremely impressive.
"I wonder if the divine king has sat on the throne of the Divine King," Jian Chen thought. He still did not know the exact strength of the divine king, but he could sense an unfathomable feeling from the divine king.
"Greetings to your majesty!"
The Overgods below all bowed towards the divine king after he sat down on the dragon throne.
"There's no need to be so courteous. Please sit down," the divine king was dignified and amiable. He smiled faintly.
"I'm sure all of you have guessed the main reason why I've gathered all of you here in the Imperial City. Next, allow me to explain the strength of the three armies of the Heavenly Demon Religion in detail, "the divine king said calmly. Even when he mentioned the three armies that would cause the expressions of many divine kings to change, he remained composed. His expression did not change at all.
"Looking at how confident the divine king is, it seems like he has complete confidence in stopping the attacks of the Heavenly Demon Religion. Are those ancient empires really going to take action?" Jianchen guessed inside as he observed the divine king's expression the entire time.
"The Heavenly Demon Religion has a total of nine armies. Aside from the first army, the other eight are basically all on par with each other in strength."
"The commander of the ninth army, Yan Wuming, is a late Divine King. People call him the Blood God's Hand because Yan Wuming knows an extremely powerful God Tier Battle Skill. Once he uses it, the world will turn scarlet as blood-red light will fill the sky. It can condense into a huge, red hand with extremely shocking power. Very few people in the Divine King realm can stop Yan Wuming unless they're experts who have made it to the Divine King's throne."
"The commander of the eighth army, Luo Duo, is a late Divine King. People call him the Bloodthirsty Butcher. He's cold, cruel, and extremely bloodthirsty. He once invaded a divine kingdom all by himself and slaughtered over a billion people. Wherever he passed by, no one survived. The boundless baleful aura he gave off caused all the vegetation in the divine kingdom to lose their vitality …"
"The commander of the seventh army, Yaxi Lian, is a late Divine King.
She's a woman, but she's transformed from a Nine-tailed Fox. Although she's the person with the weakest battle prowess in the nine armies, she's the most cunning and the most difficult to deal with. She's naturally lustful and skilled in bewitchment. It's extremely easy for people with weak wills to lose their rationality under her bewitchment. "
The divine king became stern when he reached there. He stared at the Overgods below before looking at Jianchen in the end. He warned seriously, "Once you come across the commander of the seventh army, you have to be extremely careful. It's best if you don't look at her or listen to anything she says. With your strength, it's very easy for you to be bewitched by her every word and action."
"That's because some Divine King experts will fall for her tricks easily if their wills aren't firm enough."
