Golden light shifted across the Sky Screen, and people throughout the Three Realms looked up.
Who was the Old Six ranked third, and what kind of shock would he bring to the Three Realms?!
The Earth Emperor in fourth place had already left everyone in the Three Realms terrified.
Four Emperors in one family, a wish to destroy the world, and a sea of blood and hatred between the Human Realm and the Earth Cave... Every one of the Earth Emperor's schemes made people's hearts tremble.
Yet even so, the Earth Emperor had only been ranked fourth by the Sky Screen!
There were still three above him!
Rumble!
The void shook!
The Sky Screen's golden light suddenly split apart, and three figures radiating overwhelming pressure descended into it!
The golden light was blinding. Some people's eyes turned bloodred, and tears of blood ran down their faces!
Emperors!
Three Emperors!
The powerful figures of the Earth Cave, the Human Realm, and the Three Realms all trembled in alarm!
"The Sky Screen has revealed three Emperors at once!"
"Are they ranked first together, or do they occupy the top three places separately?!"
The Old Six ranked third had yet to be revealed by name, but the Three Realms had already been utterly shaken!
In the Origin Source, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor all changed expressions.
Human Emperor, Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, Beast Emperor, and Spirit Emperor were also shocked.
Heavenly Emperor's pupils contracted. He stared at the Sky Screen in disbelief.
"This is..."
[Third on the Sneaky Ranking: God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor!]
"What!!!"
"Three Emperors! It's actually three Emperors!"
(Extreme Dao Heavenly Emperor can also count as an Emperor, and Heaven Fighting Emperor is not a true Extreme Dao Emperor.)
At that moment, the entire Three Realms erupted!
Shouts of astonishment rang throughout the Earth Cave and the Human Realm!
The powerful figures of the Three Realms were all utterly shocked.
The Sky Screen was revealing three Emperors at once!
And these three Emperors were ranked together in one place!
"God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor... The Emperors and Extreme Dao Heavenly Emperor really are still alive!"
King Gen was so horrified he lost himself, his lips dry and cracked.
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were among the most ancient powerhouses. They really hadn't perished!
But if God Emperor and the others hadn't perished, why hadn't they come out to take charge?
The Three Realms had been in chaos for eight thousand years. Their deceased friends, the countless dead... All of it had happened because the Emperors were laying schemes!
King Xun and the others wore changing expressions as they stared at the three projections on the Sky Screen, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
In the Earth Cave,
King Ming was so shocked he had gone numb.
There were still more experts!
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor!
Two Emperors and one Heavenly Emperor, yet they were only ranked third. The Old Six in the top two places had to be even more incredible!
In the Origin Source,
Western Emperor was howling with jealousy!
Three people on the list at once!
Three people!
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were going to transcend together. It was damnably enviable!
Human Emperor, Southern Emperor, and the others were stunned too.
So that was possible?
The three of them had been ranked together... They could've brought the rest of them along too!
They had schemes of their own!
Heavenly Emperor's gaze was wary, and his mind trembled.
"Qiong, Dou, and Hao are going to transcend together!"
Among the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors, aside from War Heavenly Emperor, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were the most powerful beings!
Now they were all on the list, and they were going to transcend together.
The Three Realms were about to undergo a great upheaval!
Fortunately, he was invincible in the Origin Source.
Even if God Emperor and the others joined forces with the Earth Emperor, they couldn't kill him.
Still, the three of them had made the list together. Could it be that their schemes were connected?
"I didn't expect the Sky Screen to give us such a surprise," Heaven Fighting Emperor said with a smile as he looked at it.
Eastern Emperor chuckled. "The three of us made the list together. It seems that affair is about to be exposed."
"Now that we're on the list, it doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not," God Emperor said with a faint smile.
They had been laying schemes for ten thousand years for the sake of transcending and escaping the cage that was the Origin Source.
Since the Sky Screen's reward could help them do that, their schemes were no longer necessary.
In the Human Realm,
Zhang Tao silently watched the Sky Screen, waiting for it to reveal everything about God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor.
The Earth Emperor had schemed against the Earth Cave and the Human Realm. What schemes had God Emperor and the others laid throughout the Three Realms?
Countless people waited eagerly for the Sky Screen to reveal the truth about the three Emperors.
[God Emperor Qiong, one of the leaders of the ancient Original Martial Arts, the First Emperor of the Three Realms and the strongest of the Nine Emperors, guide to the Three Extreme Dao Emperors, creator of Demon Plants, and the one who cultivated the Break Nine Demon Plant Dao Tree! Heaven Fighting Emperor, one of the leaders of the ancient Original Martial Arts, and founder of the energy-based Extreme Dao system. Eastern Emperor Hao, one of the leaders of the ancient Original Martial Arts, Heavenly Emperor's first disciple, and the second Emperor of the Three Realms.] [Ten thousand years ago, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were forced to become Origin Emperors! After being forced to become an Origin Emperor, God Emperor researched Demon Plants, hoping to make them Emperors and stabilize the Origin Source. Heaven Fighting Emperor founded the energy-based Extreme Dao system. By cooperating with the Earth Emperor to promote the Earth Realm scheme, he cultivated King Kun as an energy seed. When he intended to become an Extreme Dao Emperor, he had no choice but to enter the Origin Source through Original Martial Arts to avoid being killed, rooting his Great Dao in the Origin Source! By harvesting Earth Cave martial artists to fill the cracks in the Origin Source, Heaven Fighting Emperor was able to maintain his freedom of movement. Eastern Emperor was controlled into killing the Original Martial Arts Sword God to prove his Dao and become an Emperor. He once plotted to have the Original Martial Arts Fire God assassinate Grey Cat, causing the Origin Source to shake, and served as a bridge between Heavenly Emperor and the Seed.]
At that moment, everyone was horrified to the bone!
The powerful figures of the Three Realms were so terrified they nearly lost their souls!
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor had been forced to become Emperors!
To avoid being killed, Heaven Fighting Emperor had even entered the Origin Source Dao!
How could this be? How could this be!!!
Everyone shuddered with fear.
So even the Emperors had been manipulated?
Who could have put God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the others in mortal danger?!
The Sky Screen's revelations nearly drove the mightiest practitioners of Original Martial Arts mad!
"Qiong, Dou, and Hao were forced to become Emperors!
"It had to be Heavenly Emperor!"
"It must have been Heavenly Emperor who threatened them!"
The Origin Source Dao had been founded by Heavenly Emperor!
Besides him, no one could have threatened God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the others.
The mightiest practitioners of Original Martial Arts glared with bloodshot eyes!
They had hated God Emperor and Eastern Emperor for ten thousand years, simply because they had killed two peerless Break Nine powerhouses of Original Martial Arts when they proved their Dao.
Now the Sky Screen was telling them that Heavenly Emperor had controlled everything, and that God Emperor and Eastern Emperor were victims too.
How could they not go mad? How could they not lose their minds?!
"Heavenly Emperor, you beast!"
"You'll die a miserable death!"
In the past, Heavenly Emperor had also been a leader of Original Martial Arts. But he had founded the Origin Source Dao, nearly wiping out the practitioners of Original Martial Arts. More than half of their suffering stemmed from him.
In the Earth Cave,
King Ming, King Feng, King Huai, King Pingshan... The Earth Cave's True Kings were all terrified, frozen like wooden chickens!
The Emperors... had been forced to become Emperors to avoid being killed!
In the Three Realms, even Emperors couldn't control their own fates. Even Emperors were manipulated by others and reduced to pawns!
Then, in that Heavenly Emperor's eyes, these insignificant people, who were less than ants, were nothing but dust.
In the Human Realm,
Heaven Suppressing King stared blankly, utterly shocked!
He hadn't known that God Emperor and the others had been forced to prove their Dao. Heaven Fighting Emperor had even done so to avoid being killed.
That meant Heaven Fighting Emperor wasn't an Extreme Dao Emperor, but an Emperor!
"Heavenly Emperor is scheming against all living beings!"
God Forger's face was pale. He suddenly understood why the Four Emperors had opposed the Immortal Source, and why the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors had all tampered with it.
Perhaps the Immortal Source hadn't been created by Heavenly Emperor to resolve the Origin Source's hidden dangers at all. Perhaps it was meant to trap and kill the Nine Emperors and wipe out every Origin martial artist in the Three Realms!
Zhang Tao's mind shook as he stared in disbelief at the Sky Screen's revelations about God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor.
Even the Emperors were pawns, caught in the scheme!
That mysterious Heavenly Emperor was the one who had plotted it all!
"Can the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors—thirteen powerful beings—really not kill Heavenly Emperor or resolve the Origin Source's hidden dangers?"
Zhang Tao's heart trembled.
Just how powerful was Heavenly Emperor?
He controlled Eastern Emperor... Heavenly Emperor could actually control a top powerhouse!
