The Human Realm,
Zhang Tao furrowed his brows. "If the Yang God hadn't accidentally absorbed energy from the Origin Source, the Heavenly Emperor's plan to trap and kill all the powerful experts of the Three Realms would have succeeded ten thousand years ago!"
"The Heavenly Emperor... is utterly sinister!"
He had assassinated the strongest Original Martial Arts experts, forced God Emperor and the others to prove their Dao and become Origin Source Emperors, and even slaughtered Spirit Emperor's tribe, all in an attempt to sacrifice every Origin Source martial artist in the Three Realms!
"Proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor means stepping into the Heavenly Emperor's prison!" Heaven Suppressing King's face was dark with anger.
Without the Sky Screen, if he proved his Dao and became an Emperor someday—even if he combined his two bodies—his life and his Dao would be under the Heavenly Emperor's control!
The Heavenly Emperor was far too sinister!
This was a scheme that offered no way out!
Who could resist the temptation of pursuing martial arts and becoming an invincible Emperor?
But the moment anyone set foot on the Origin Source martial path, they fell into the Heavenly Emperor's trap.
And if they became an Emperor, they would be serving time in the Heavenly Emperor's prison, with their Dao and their very lives in his hands!
Magic Martial University,
Fang Ping was stunned!
The Heavenly Emperor was this damn devious!
The Gate of Triple Burner was actually meant to sever the path of martial arts!
The Origin Source Dao had been a trap targeting martial artists from the very beginning!
No wonder the Human Realm had no Original Martial Arts path, only the Origin Source path.
The Heavenly Emperor must have suppressed the powerful Original Martial Arts experts and used them as stepping stones for the Origin Source martial artists who proved their Dao and became new Emperors!
For all they knew, the Original Martial Arts experts under the Heavenly Emperor's command in the Original Martial Arts Heavenly Division had all been killed by him, too.
The Martial God and the Sword God had destroyed the Heavenly Emperor's tribe, so the Heavenly Emperor had secretly killed them. Those tribesmen who cursed him surely hadn't come to a good end, either.
Fang Ping's whole body trembled slightly. He couldn't help sighing.
"There are so many Sneaky Bastards in the Three Realms. Each one's more sinister and ruthless than the last!"
The people's discussion and the curses from the Earth Caves couldn't affect the powerful experts, nor could they stop the Sky Screen from continuing its revelations.
[Back then, the Heavenly Emperor created Grey Cat by accident while trying to deal with the filth and refuse in the Origin Source. The stronger Grey Cat became, the more filth it could devour for him. But if Grey Cat were ever blown apart, it would cause the Origin Source to quake! If Grey Cat broke through Nine and became an Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor could forcibly summon it back whenever he needed it to devour the filth in the Origin Source. To be safe, the Heavenly Emperor placed a restriction on Grey Cat and also took control of Heavenly Dog's Dao. As the Seed's collaborator and representative, the Heavenly Emperor was the Son of Heaven's Mandate in the Three Realms! He was connected to the Seed and could draw on its power to revive again and again!]
At that moment, God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Earth Emperor, Yang God, Human Emperor, Heaven Suppressing King, Zhang Tao, King Ming, and the others were all stunned!
"The Heavenly Emperor can revive infinitely?!"
God Emperor found it unbelievable, Heaven Fighting Emperor could hardly believe it, and Eastern Emperor fell completely silent.
They all knew the Heavenly Emperor had joined forces with the Seed, but they had no idea the Seed had linked itself to him!
They hadn't known about this at all!
Wasn't the Seed afraid the Heavenly Emperor would turn against it?
God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were completely speechless. Not one of them could utter a word!
They could almost picture it: after they had gone through untold hardships to kill the Heavenly Emperor and cried out in triumph, he would revive right before their eyes, look at them with a mocking smile, and suppress them with ease.
The Heavenly Emperor had hidden this far too well!
The Yang God was just as shocked!
The Heavenly Emperor had already surprised him by hiding his strength and trying to ambush him earlier.
He hadn't expected the Heavenly Emperor to have another trump card!
"Damn, why is he the Son of Heaven's Mandate? That Seed looks down on me!"
The Yang God's eyes widened as he cursed.
In the Origin Source, Western Emperor and the others no longer dared say a word.
They had thought the Heavenly Emperor hiding his strength and plotting against God Emperor and the others made him enough of an Old Six. They hadn't expected they'd still underestimated the Heavenly Emperor, that scheming bastard!
Zhang Tao, Heaven Suppressing King, and God Forger were speechless.
The Heavenly Emperor's trump card was beyond anything they'd expected!
As long as the Seed didn't die, the Heavenly Emperor could revive without end.
Who could kill him, then?
The Nine Emperors couldn't. The Yang God couldn't. No one in the Three Realms could kill the Heavenly Emperor!
Even if they managed to kill him once or twice, he would come back at full strength. He could simply wear down the other powerful experts until they died.
"An infinite-revival token? The Heavenly Emperor's cheating!"
Fang Ping gaped.
The Heavenly Emperor's cheat was ridiculously powerful!
If Fang Ping had an infinite-revival cheat, too, he could roam anywhere in the Three Realms without a care!
Kuocang Mountain,
Grey Cat's chubby face was frozen in shock, and Heavenly Dog's face was stiff with disbelief!
"Mrow? He actually left a restriction on me!" Grey Cat suddenly remembered.
Heavenly Dog was questioning everything it knew about life. That Fake Heavenly Emperor had actually taken control of its Dao!
"Stupid cat, that Fake Heavenly Emperor has us both under his control!" Heavenly Dog was so shocked it could barely sit still.
Grey Cat began questioning its life, too.
Gong Juanzi opened his mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say. He could only let out a sigh.
In the Origin Source,
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was dark, but he still feared no one!
The Yang God couldn't kill him. Neither could God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor, or the others!
Even without being connected to the Seed, he was powerful enough to suppress everything!
The Heavenly Emperor stared eagerly at the Sky Screen.
"It's almost time. Once the Sky Screen finishes its revelations, I'll truly Transcend the Three Realms!
"I won't have to care about the Origin Source, the Immortal Source, the Three Realms, or the Seed anymore!"
What did he care what happened to the Origin Source and the Immortal Source?
At worst, they would just get a new master.
The new master would have to come from among the Emperors!
With God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, Eastern Emperor, and Earth Emperor transcending, and the Yang God refusing to get involved, it would have to be one of Human Emperor, Northern Emperor, Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, or Beast Emperor.
"Xuan was gravely wounded by Hong..."
The Heavenly Emperor's eyes flickered.
Elsewhere,
"When the Heavenly Emperor Transcends the Three Realms, will the Origin Source and the Immortal Source still exist, or will they become unclaimed territory?"
Heaven Fighting Emperor murmured, furrowing his brows.
Once the Sky Screen finished revealing the truth about the Heavenly Emperor, chaos would erupt in the Origin Source!
[Assessment: The Heavenly Emperor, the Son of Heaven's Mandate chosen by the Seed, and one of the leaders who founded Original Martial Arts. In the past, he drove away Desolate Beasts and kindled civilization. Yet his heart changed, and the hero was no more. He schemed and plotted, only to fail at the last moment! In the end, you lost because of the hearts of men—the very hearts you thought didn't matter.]
"Did I lose?"
"And I lost to the laughable hearts of men!"
The Heavenly Emperor scoffed, dismissing the Sky Screen's revelations.
How could he lose?
He had invincible strength, and the Seed's life force could revive him. How could he possibly lose?
The Sky Screen's assessment was wrong!
He refused to accept it!
[Reward: Freedom from the Origin Source and the Seed's restraints; Transcend the Three Realms; one Small Seed Projection; one True Source (allows anyone to free themselves from their restraints without any cost).]
Golden light blazed as the Heavenly Emperor stepped out of the Immortal Source's core and into the air!
Feeling the changes within himself, the Heavenly Emperor smiled—a radiant smile!
But the next moment, his smile froze.
"My life force connection to the Seed has been severed?!"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression hardened, and his gaze turned cold.
The Seed had actually severed its life connection to him of its own accord!
Moreover, his strength had diminished somewhat after leaving the Origin Source.
After all, the Origin Source and the Immortal Source were both sources of his power.
He was the master of the Origin Source and the Immortal Source. Leaving the Origin Source was like splitting his body in two, so he was bound to lose some strength.
Fortunately, the power he'd lost wasn't much. The Small Seed Projection rewarded to him by the Sky Screen could easily make him stronger still.
(The Origin Source was originally unclaimed. Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Emperor hadn't suppressed it, and it had been fine.
Now the Seed was suppressing the Origin Source. Also, after God Emperor and the others transcended, the First Heaven that belonged to each of them disappeared, greatly reducing the pressure. As long as there were no major disturbances, the Origin Source would be fine.
If there were, all the martial artists who cultivated the Origin Source Dao in the Three Realms would be injured and cough up blood.)
