Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2560 - The Calm Before the Storm

Chapter 2560: The Calm Before the Storm
Tian Yao was the young star lord’s name.
Not a lot of people knew this name. Aside from the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, basically everyone referred to Tian Yao as the young star lord.
When he heard the message, the young star lord’s frivolous expression immediately stiffened up. He could not help but grow stern. He showed respect and fear.
The young star lord had been raised in lavish conditions where he was fawned by all. Wherever he went in the Saints’ World, he would be surrounded by a group of followers and admirers. All experts treated him politely, so he had a fearless personality as a result. He would only feel fear when he faced his foster father, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.
Consequently, the young star lord did not hesitate at all when he was summoned by the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. He pushed the two beautiful women in his arms away without a second thought and rushed off to the peak of the mountain.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord sat in the main seat within a majestic divine hall on the top of the mountain. His presence was completely concealed, making him seem like a mortal. However, his eyes that were as deep as the cosmos stared off into the distance blankly as if he was in thought.
“Greetings, father!” The young star lord arrived. He was polite and directly dropped to the ground on his knees.
His voice seemed to snap the Nine Brilliance Star Lord back to his senses. His gaze changed as soon as he returned to himself. It became rather mixed. He stared at the young star lord below with an indescribably gaze. He remained silent for a long time.
Seeing how his father had not responded despite such a long time, the young star lord developed doubts. This was the first time he had seen his foster father act like this in the thousand years he had been alive.
However, the young star lord dared not talk too much. He understood that his foster father was proud. If his foster father did not speak, he dared not speak either.
“Tian Yao, how many years has it been since you began cultivating?” Only a long while later did the Nine Brilliance Star Lord ask slowly and calmly.
“Father, I just happen to have cultivated for a thousand years,” the young star lord said politely.
“Just a thousand years…” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord murmured, “Just how short is a thousand years? That might only be a blink of an eye. However, you’ve managed to reach late Godking in a single millennium. Even across the entire Saints’ World, there are probably only a handful of people who can match such talent. It’s no worse compared to the me of the past. If I create a new space for your growth, your future accomplishments will be unlimited.”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was right. People who could reach late Godking in just a thousand years were indeed mystical existences in the Saints’ World, as most people would require tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years to accomplish the same thing.
It was basically unprecedented to reach Godking in just two or three centuries like what Jian Chen accomplished.
Of course, reincarnations of powerful experts were exceptions.
As a result, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord was extremely satisfied with the young star lord’s current accomplishments. As a matter of fact, he would take pride in it.
“It’s all because of father’s support,” the young star lord said extremely modestly, but he felt complacent inside.
“Alright.” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord raised his head slightly. He stared at the young star lord with mixed feelings and said, “Tian Yao, just cultivating doesn’t mean you can become a true expert, so it’s about time for you to go out and train. You can’t return until you reach the Primordial realm. Do you understand?”
“As father wishes…”
“You’re not allowed to take too many experts with you this time. I’ll only let you take a single Infinite Prime. Bear that in mind…”
…
After the young star lord left, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord sat on his throne as he stared outside with mixed feelings. He murmured to himself, “For the sake of the grand scheme of things, I can only sacrifice you, Tian Yao…”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord suddenly seemed like he was peering into something. He peered into the young star lord’s future course of life and secretly made various arrangements, ensuring that the young star lord’s future path would follow what he secretly planned.
“This matter relates to the Anatta Grand Prime. I can’t interfere with it too much, nor can I make it too obvious. I need to be careful with everything…”
The young star lord returned to the bevy of women. He looked at the young ladies around him as he felt great reluctance.
He understood that he could not take a single woman with him due to his foster father’s orders. He could not afford to face the consequences of angering his foster father.
The young star lord felt a natural sense of fear towards the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.
After all, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, a figure only second to Grand Exalts. He was on a completely different level, and he was strong enough to crush all weaker cultivators.
“I’m about to go out and train, so I probably won’t be able to accompany you all from today onwards,” the young star lord said reluctantly. As he looked at the beautiful figures of the women, a nefarious light lit up in his eyes.
“Hehehe, young star lord, allow me to properly treat you tonight then as a parting gift…” Immediately, a woman giggled pleasantly like a chime.
In the crowd, Dao Gongming immediately rejoiced. He said, “Young master, the Cloud Plane just happens to be a perfect place for you to train.”
“Alright. I’ll go straight to the Cloud Plane tomorrow…”
…
“Master has departed!” A lady surrounded in blinding light hovered in a foreign space within the Saints’ World. She accompanied the sea of stars as all the laws resonated with her, as if she had completely fused with the surroundings.
She was the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Yi Xin.
Many fragments of planets floated through the sea of stars where Yi Xin stood. The space there had just settled down as well.
She had clashed with the Heaven-splitting Ancestor here earlier, crushing countless celestial bodies and punching a hole through space. The area had only just recovered.
“And you still don’t want to return? It’s not up to you anymore!” Suddenly, Yi Xin muttered and extended her hand directly into space. The entire arm vanished.
At the same time, a pulse of energy terrifying enough to cause despair surged forth in the southern region of the Cloud Plane. It caused the entire region to shake violently, and even the entire Cloud Plane trembled.
The sky above the Pingtian Empire shattered, and a hand completely condensed from energy descended, heading right towards the Tian Yuan clan.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the formations around the Tian Yuan clan were completely useless before the hand. All of them shattered to pieces as the hand fell.
Boom!
In the end, the hand of energy smashed through a divine hall in the Tian Yuan clan and grabbed Ming Dong from there.
“First majesty!” To another side, Ming Dong’s bodyguard, Ming Xie, appeared. He stared at the hand from the sky and showed respect. He bowed in a hurry. He dared not try to stop it.
