At this very moment, everyone was staring at the Sky Screen, waiting for the debut of the first person on the Sneaky Ranking!
Under the gaze of the masses, the gilded characters on the Sky Screen shifted, and a cold voice rang out simultaneously.
[Sneaky Ranking, 10th Place: Earth Cave Heavenly Fate Royal Court, King Ming, Ji Ming!]
"What? It's actually King Ming!"
"King Ming is on the list? What kind of schemes is he hiding?!"
"Ji Ming... who is that?"
"..."
"King Ming... he really is on the list!"
Zhang Tao watched the characters emerging on the Sky Screen, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
He had just been guessing who might appear on the list, and King Ming was among them, though he hadn't expected King Ming's ranking to be so low.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tao's heart sank.
This Sky Screen might expose many unknown and powerful entities!
Humanity must be prepared for a great war at any moment.
"Damn it!"
King Ming's face turned livid as he stared at his name on the Sky Screen, his mood plummeting to the bottom of the abyss.
Regardless of whether the Sky Screen exposed his plans, he would now be viewed with suspicion by all the True Kings of the Earth Cave.
At this moment, the Sky Screen continued its exposure.
[King Ming, Ji Ming, Hall Master of the True King Hall of the Earth Cave Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Emperor-level.]
[King Ming, Ji Ming, possesses excellent talent and immense ambition, capable of enduring what others cannot.
He became a True King in a hundred years and reached the Emperor-level in three hundred!
King Ming considers himself destined by heaven, single-mindedly wanting to unify the Earth Cave and become the King of the Earth Cave, the Emperor of the Earth Cave!
A hundred years ago, King Ming was suppressed with one hand by King Gen, one of the Eight Kings of the Heavenly Realm, and reduced to his lackey.
Yet, he grew braver with every setback, plotting extensively, seizing the origin Great Dao of his illegitimate son, Qi Huanyu, and grafting it onto his own.
Before his Great Dao was seized, Qi Huanyu had been secretly having an affair with King Ming's wife, even fathering a child with her.
King Ming was aware of this, yet he allowed Qi Huanyu to lead the armies of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, achieving the title of King Among Kings, and working himself to the bone for him!]
At this very moment, the entire Earth Cave was in an uproar!
The Hall Master of the True King Hall of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, the man hailed as the number one person on the God Continent, King Ming, had actually been cuckolded by his own disciple!
The key was that King Ming himself was fully aware of it!
No one in the entire Earth Cave could hide their shock!
"Impressive, truly impressive! King Ming is worthy of being an Emperor-level powerhouse, truly impressive!"
"Hahahaha, King Ming was actually cuckolded by his own disciple? He stole Qi Huanyu's Great Dao; it's truly a case of dogs biting dogs!"
Many people already knew that Qi Huanyu's Great Dao had been taken by King Ming, but the fact that Qi Huanyu had cuckolded King Ming, and that he was King Ming's illegitimate son, was something no outsider had known.
"Wait, doesn't that mean the current King of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Ji Hong, is Qi Huanyu's son? A father kneeling to his son, a father acknowledging his son, yet the son doesn't acknowledge the father—King Ming is truly ruthless!"
"..."
The True Kings of the Earth Cave laughed and jeered, feeling that the revelations of the Sky Screen were excellent and highly entertaining!
King Huai, who had already fled, was also startled and couldn't help but laugh.
"The taste of a master's wife... tsk tsk."
In the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Qi Huanyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his entire body went rigid, and his face turned ashen.
With such a scandal exposed to the eyes of everyone in the Three Realms, he was finished!
Ji Hong was even more incredulous, his entire being nearly collapsing!
He was Qi Huanyu's son, and Qi Huanyu was King Ming's son!
He wasn't King Ming's son, but King Ming's grandson!
"No! No!!"
Ji Hong was on the verge of a breakdown; as the King, he had frequently punished and scolded his biological father, Qi Huanyu.
His daughter, Ji Yao, had even been tacitly allowed by King Ming to call him "Grandpa Huanyu" with great affection.
So it turned out that all of this was King Ming taking revenge on Qi Huanyu!
"I am not Grandpa's granddaughter? I am Grandpa Huanyu's granddaughter!
How can this be? How can this be!"
Ji Yao stood dumbfounded, her soul seemingly lost, her face deathly pale.
She felt only cold in her hands and feet, completely at a loss.
"Damn it!"
Ji Ming stared at the Sky Screen, his eyes cold as blades, but his rage did not overwhelm his reason.
So what if the scandal was exposed?
He was still the Hall Master of the True King Hall of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, still ruling over the entire Heavenly Fate Royal Court!
Strength was everything!
Once he unified the Earth Cave and unified the Three Realms, such a scandal would be nothing more than a joke!
Besides, in the Earth Cave, there were no wives or husbands.
Therefore, wives and husbands were merely tools for the strong to produce bloodline descendants!
"This melon... is too ripe!"
Li Zhen was shocked; Ji Ming was truly legendary!
Zhang Tao was also shocked. He knew there had been something fishy and off about the relationship between Ji Ming and Qi Huanyue.
He also knew that Qi Huanyu's Great Dao had been taken by Ji Ming, but he truly had not expected the relationship between Ji Ming and Qi Huanyu to be so complex!
The relationship between this master and disciple, or perhaps father and son, was simply too complicated!
This melon was too explosive!
Nan Yunyue, who had just arrived at the Capital, was also wearing a look of shock and confusion.
While eating the melon, Zhang Tao and Li Zhen did not forget to record the information exposed by the Sky Screen.
[In order to unify the Heavenly Fate Royal Court and fully commit to dealing with the Two Kings lurking in the Land of King Battles, Ji Ming secretly colluded with the human Peak Martial King Zhang Tao at the Sea-Suppressing Mountain to ambush and kill the top True King of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, King Baishan. From then on, the Heavenly Fate Royal Court became the sole domain of the Ji Family.
Ji Ming then convened the Hundred Kings Conference of the Earth Cave under the guise of dealing with the Two Kings to consolidate the various kings!
On the surface, Ji Ming intended to deal with the Two Kings.
In reality, he secretly united with the three great protectors of the Divine Sect, colluded with the Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Overseas Immortal Islands, and factions within the Boundary Land, attempting to annihilate the human Peaks, force out the true strength of the Heavenly Plant Royal Court's King, Li Zhu, and wipe out both the Martial King Zhang Tao and Li Zhu in one fell swoop!
Ji Ming plotted extensively, wishing to unify the Earth Cave, unify the Three Realms, and become the King of the Three Realms, the Emperor of the Three Realms.
However, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth, he fell in the Forbidden Sea, his efforts falling short of success.]
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The Sky Screen's further exposure of Ji Ming completely detonated both the Earth Cave and the Human Realm!
"Ji Ming... what a fine King of Fate!"
King Baishan growled with venomous eyes.
Just because he was strong and threatened the Ji Family's control over the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Ji Ming had wanted to unite with the Martial King to ambush and kill him. He was truly ruthless!
"Ji Ming, you are courting death!"
King Baishan tore through the void, ignoring the Two Kings, and threw a punch toward Ji Ming.
Ji Ming's eyes were cold and sharp as he shouted coldly:
"Baishan, since you are courting death yourself, don't blame this King!"
Before Ji Ming could strike, a golden light neutralized King Baishan's attack.
[During the exposure period of the Sky Screen, any form of attack against those on the list is ineffective.]
Seeing this, King Baishan's expression changed drastically; he tore through the void and fled in a hurry.
Just because he couldn't attack Ji Ming didn't mean Ji Ming couldn't attack him.
Ji Ming did not pursue; he wanted to wait for the Sky Screen's exposure to end to see if he would receive any rewards.
If he had the strength to crush the hundred kings, he wouldn't necessarily have to kill King Baishan.
"???"
King Gen, hiding in the shadows, was stunned. How could a mere Emperor-level Ji Ming dare to dream of unifying the Three Realms!
Even he, a Heavenly King, wouldn't dare to think of such a thing!
He had suppressed Ji Ming before, but he never expected that he had actually driven Ji Ming completely insane!
"Heh, Emperor of the Three Realms, he really dares to think it!"
On the other side, Zhang Tao and Li Zhu were also startled.
Originally, Li Zhu had been watching the show with a calm and indifferent expression, but upon seeing that Ji Ming had united various forces in an attempt to annihilate him and Zhang Tao, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:
"I thought Ji Ming was a waste, but I didn't expect him to be secretly staging a comeback."
Li Zhu chuckled, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
But a waste staging a comeback was still a waste.
Ji Ming truly did not know the vastness of heaven and earth!
Human Realm.
"Earth Cave, Divine Sect, Heaven Beyond Heaven, Overseas Immortal Islands, Boundary Land... humanity is surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, and Nan Yueyue felt a chill run through their bodies, their expressions grave.
"We have become public enemies."
Zhang Tao gave a self-deprecating smile, his eyes cold yet bewildered.
What exactly had the human race done wrong? What could they possibly possess that would incite all these factions to covet it and seek their destruction?
He truly could not understand.
"Zhang Tao, the Sky Screen is exposing future events, and since King Ming failed, that means we actually won!"
Li Zhen's face was pale, yet he still managed a laugh.
"That's right, how can we speak of defeat before the battle has even begun!"
Zhang Tao was no longer pessimistic, his eyes flickering with a profound light.
The human race must strive for self-improvement!
"Immediately have all grandmasters soothe the public's emotions; we must not let an atmosphere of despair spread!"
"It is time to disclose the matter of the Earth Cave as well!"
Previously, only martial artists knew about the Earth Cave, and even some low-rank martial artists were unaware of it.
But now that the Sky Screen had completely exposed it, they could no longer keep it hidden.
Rather than letting the public speculate and panic, it was better for them to proactively reveal everything!
Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, and Nan Yueyue adjusted quickly, immediately convening meetings and press conferences.
Other human powerhouses, such as Snake King Wu Kuishan and Li Changsheng, also looked grim as they watched the future exposed on the Sky Screen where humanity was surrounded by enemies.
However, after seeing the statements and notifications from Zhang Tao and the others, they managed to suppress that sense of trepidation.
At Magic Martial University, Fang Ping was utterly stunned, his heart filled with shock!
The waters of these Three Realms were far too deep; humanity was truly surrounded by enemies!
Could it be that he, a reincarnator with a cheat, was destined to be the savior of humanity?
For a moment, Fang Ping's thoughts became complex.
The Sky Screen continued its exposure.
[Evaluation: King Ming Ji Ming, you possess extraordinary talent, yet your luck is poor. Your heart is higher than the heavens, but your life is as thin as paper. You lack self-awareness and have been blinded by ambition.
The Two Kings you schemed against are nothing more than two stray dogs by the roadside.
As a schemer, you are barely qualified!]
[Basic Reward: Origin Source Dao transforms from false to true, resolving your own Origin Source hidden dangers, freeing you from the shackles of the Origin Source, and allowing you to Transcend the Three Realms.
Advanced Reward: Eight-Forged Golden Body, compensating for your flaws; hidden dangers of the Origin Source Dao are erased.]
As the gilded text flashed across the Sky Screen, a golden light tore through the air and shot into the body of King Ming!
Boom!
A loud noise shook the void, and a Great Dao above the horizon vanished in an instant!
King Ming's aura surged, rising steadily as the void cracked!
The next moment, the golden light dissipated, and King Ming's aura had grown tremendously!
The Earth Cave True Kings hidden in the surrounding void changed color, filled with shock.
King Ming had become even stronger!
Just the outward projection of his aura gave them a sense of danger!
For a moment, everyone was filled with envy and jealousy.
They wanted those rewards too!
If they were given such rewards, they wouldn't just consider selling their wives; they would even consider selling themselves.
"Damn it, damn it!"
King Baishan's eyes were splitting with rage; if King Ming was stronger, wouldn't he be completely finished?!
"King Ming, he truly found a blessing in disguise!"
King Feng had originally wanted to watch King Ming make a fool of himself and mock him as the "Cuckold King," but seeing King Ming's strength increase with the help of the Sky Screen, he had no desire to mock him anymore—only jealousy remained.
King Huai, who had already fled, was also jealous.
The reward of an Eight-Forged Golden Body alone was enough to make him envious, let alone the other rewards!
Now, he both wanted to be on the list and didn't want to be on it.
He craved the rewards of the list, but once the exposure ended, he would be in danger.
"No, I must go deeper!"
King Huai made up his mind and ran away once again.
"Hahaha... the Sky Screen rewards, how wonderful!"
King Ming felt the changes within himself, let out a low chuckle, and looked at the Sky Screen with eyes burning with intensity.
This Sky Screen was truly miraculous!
He could now feel that there was not a single flaw left in his Origin Source Dao, and his combat power had surged!
Moreover, this was only the reward for [Tenth Place]; the old six ranked higher might even be rewarded with divine artifacts!
If their strength was inferior to his, once the exposure ended, he could just snatch them!
Even if he couldn't snatch them, if he laid low for another hundred years, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the level of the Two Kings or King Gen!
"Is my heart higher than the heavens, but my life as thin as paper?"
King Ming murmured in a low voice.
The waters of the Three Realms were even deeper than he had imagined; the Two Kings were just two dogs by the roadside, and King Gen was likely not the supreme powerhouse either. He still needed to proceed slowly and could no longer be arrogant and ignorant.
"Since I know the future, I will absolutely not fall short of success!"
Land of King Battles, The Two Kings, who were currently lying in wait, were nearly angered to death when they saw the Sky Screen "insulting" them as two dogs by the roadside!
At the same time, Origin Source.
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor, and the others discovered that a prototype of the Earth Emperor Dao was missing from the Origin Source!
This Dao was precisely the Dao of King Ming!
"The Sky Screen is unfathomable!"
All the Emperors wore expressions of solemnity and shock.
Right before their eyes, it had stripped away a special Origin Source Dao, yet they hadn't been able to detect even the slightest trace of it.
With such strength, even if Seed, the Heavenly Emperor, and Yang God joined forces, they couldn't achieve this!
The Sky Screen was an existence far stronger than them; they were no match for it!
While feeling shocked and wary, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Human Emperor, Western Emperor, Northern Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Beast Emperor were also filled with anticipation, hoping they could make the list, receive rewards, and be free from the shackles of the Origin Source forever!
The Heavenly Emperor, however, was incredibly gloomy and spiteful. If all the Emperors made the list and escaped the Origin Source, he would be trapped in the Origin Source forever!
Spirit Emperor closed her eyes in contemplation, her thoughts complex.
Within the Divine Sect, the Earth Emperor was sitting with King Kun, drinking tea.
"Father, this Sky Screen can actually know even the events of the future!" King Kun's expression was cold and stern.
He wasn't sure if the Sky Screen was truly exposing the future or just making things up.
"The Sky Screen is indeed bizarre, but the rewards are real." The Earth Emperor chuckled lightly.
He even began to look forward to it.
He looked forward to the Sky Screen exposing him, allowing him to completely break free from the shackles of the Origin Source.
When that time came, he would definitely step onto the Origin Source and ruthlessly mock the Heavenly Emperor and the others!
