Cave Dweller King: You Want Me to Fight a Ninth-Rank? Isn't That Sending Me to My Death!

"The Demon Emperor actually wants to become the Human King, and he even pinned the title of Demon Emperor onto me!"

Fang Ping was shocked, and even more speechless.

He truly didn't know what the Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian was thinking; he didn't cherish his strength at the Peak of Stage Seven, yet he reincarnated as a human youth.

Right now, the age of the Demon Emperor's reincarnation was probably about the same as his own!

"No, what is this guy thinking?"

Fang Ping was extremely puzzled!

If a powerhouse from a thousand years ago wanted to reincarnate, they should have done it sooner!

How much better would it have been to become the Human King before Zhang Tao, when there was no competitive pressure?

Could it be that the Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian wanted to hide behind a powerhouse and slowly develop?

Using Zhang Tao as a shield while he developed himself...

Fang Ping laughed in anger. Although he had also had thoughts of waiting until he was fully developed and stronger before sharing the burden, he would never scheme against others.

When it was time for him to step up, he would step up.

"Demon Emperor... is that all your character amounts to?"

Fang Ping sneered; no wonder his future self looked down on Mo Wenjian.

Now, he looked down on him too!

Wang Jinyang, standing to the side, was also somewhat speechless.

The title of Human King is earned through battle!

Zhang Tao had fought countless battles, constantly slaughtering in the Earth Cave!

If Mo Wenjian had reincarnated a hundred years earlier and dared to fight for the Human Realm in all directions, even if he hadn't become the Human King by now, his reputation would certainly not be low.

But it seemed he had only just reincarnated, and he was very likely the same age as him and Fang Ping?

What kind of logic was this?

Could it be that he was truly scared out of his wits, wanting a tall person to stand in front of him so he could hide and develop?

Wang Jinyang shook his head; Mo Wenjian had already lost his mettle!

If he were Mo Wenjian, he would grow stronger frantically, fight and kill, turning the world upside down!

Even if he died, he would make sure to splatter the enemy with his blood.

In Star Suppressing City, After Zhang Tao finished dealing with the people from Heaven Beyond Heaven, he came to see the Heaven Suppressing King.

"Senior Heaven Suppressing King, could you tell this junior about the Demon Emperor?" Zhang Tao asked very politely.

The God Forger looked at the calm-faced Zhang Tao and the gloomy-faced Heaven Suppressing King, then shook his head.

What a mess this had become.

The Heaven Suppressing King sighed softly: "Although Mo Wenjian has some schemes, he has also helped the Human Realm."

Otherwise, the Human Realm would not have been so stable over the past hundred years.

In the past, he was the only "Peak" in the Human Realm; didn't he have to find a few people to help him share the pressure?

The fact that he could recruit people like the War King and the Sword King to the Human Realm also had something to do with Mo Wenjian.

His cooperation with Mo Wenjian was not a scheme against the Human Realm, but rather a help to it.

Zhang Tao understood.

He didn't mean to question the Heaven Suppressing King, he just felt that the Demon Emperor was going "too far"!

Since he couldn't snatch the position of Human King from Fang Ping, he resorted to underhanded tactics, splashing dirty water on Fang Ping, spreading rumors... letting Fang Ping be his scapegoat while he developed comfortably.

If such a person became the Human King, Zhang Tao truly dared not imagine what kind of oppression and injustice the human race would suffer under his leadership.

The Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian had knelt for too long; he was almost unable to stand up again!

The New Martial Arts human race had already knelt for too long!

So long that the Peaks dared not act, so long that even though he possessed peerless combat power, he could only endure, watching helplessly as countless martial artists died on the battlefield!

The human race fought in the Earth Cave, yet they had strength they dared not unleash!

But once you have knelt for too long, it is very difficult to stand up again!

Zhang Tao had never thought of letting the human race kneel forever.

"In the end, our philosophies are different."

The path is something you walk yourself, not something bestowed by others!

The Human King is also a position earned through battle, not something that can be achieved through scheming.

Zhang Tao did not say much more.

"Senior Heaven Suppressing King, could you give this junior two Mental Power Derivatives?"

Heaven Suppressing King's expression changed: "Zhang Tao, you..."

You found the Future Human King!

Heaven Suppressing King had just wanted to ask, but he swallowed the words back down.

"Fine."

Heaven Suppressing King did not say anything more.

For Zhang Tao to bring this up, it meant he still trusted him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to him for the spiritual power manifestations.

After taking the spiritual power manifestations and offering his thanks, Zhang Tao did not dwell too much on the matter of Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian and returned to his base camp.

Back at the base camp, Zhang Tao handed the two spiritual power manifestations from Heaven Suppressing King to Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang, and also gave each of them one of his own spiritual power manifestations.

Although Fang Ping was the Future Human King, Wang Jinyang was not necessarily simple either.

Perhaps Wang Jinyang was the bearer of one of the Great Daos within the Three Emperors Great Dao.

Otherwise, why would he and Fang Ping have been born in Yang City together, with such similar experiences and astonishingly exceptional talent?

"Fang Ping, if you have any needs, you can tell me now, but using resources for you on a large scale is not feasible."

A Human King is forged through battle and slaughter, not raised!

Blindly coddling and keeping someone in captivity would only produce a waste.

Fang Ping naturally understood the principle that "towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse."

If he were truly supplied with everything, he would likely end up as a vitality martial artist like Tan Zhenping or Jin Keming.

That was not what Fang Ping wanted.

However, when it was time to speak up, he would certainly speak up!

Fang Ping would never miss an opportunity to let himself rapidly accumulate wealth points.

Who knows, maybe within a year or two, he would catch up to Old Wang?

Star Suppressing City, The "perverted" Jiang Hao stared at the Sky Screen with deep, dark eyes, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Seed scheme against the Emperors, the Emperors scheme against the common people, and the Sky Screen views everything as a plaything!"

His plans were now almost completely disrupted.

But he was unwilling to give up; he still refused to admit defeat!

"Human King? Why can't I become the Human King!"

Why must the chess piece laid out by the War Heavenly Emperor be the one to become the Human King?

Why!

Jiang Hao was extremely unwilling to accept this.

Strength, it was still that he wasn't strong enough!

[Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian, talent, perseverance, opportunity, talent... all are top-tier!

However, he lacks courage, and even more so, the majestic aura of grand momentum possessed by a true powerhouse!

Those who hold the Great Dao observe the heavens and the earth; those who hold the Small Dao look at people and themselves.]

[Reward: Origin Source Dao transforms from false to true, no longer controlled by the Immortal Source.]

"No longer controlled by the Immortal Source... will it still be shackled by the Origin Source?" Jiang Hao's eyes flickered.

Although he had not directly transcended, the fact that his Origin Source Dao was no longer controlled by the Immortal Source already made him happy.

As for the Sky Screen's evaluation of him, he did not particularly agree with it.

Lacking the aura of grand momentum... once he became an Emperor and led the human race to pacify everything, how could he not have a majestic aura!

"Is the Demon Emperor about to transcend!"

"No longer controlled by the Immortal Source... the Demon Emperor is about to rise completely!"

"The Demon Emperor feared the schemes of the Emperors, and now that he has broken through halfway, I wonder if he will return completely!"

Mo Wenjian's reward sparked a wave of discussion.

The powerhouses of the Three Realms were all speculating whether Mo Wenjian would choose to collect his spiritual consciousness and live another life in his original body!

Since the Origin Source Dao was now true, Mo Wenjian would no longer need to reincarnate.

"If the Demon Emperor returns in his true form, the human race will have one more powerhouse!" King Feng said in a deep voice.

King Ming whispered: "With the Future Human King present, the Martial King will not fully accept the Demon Emperor, nor will he allow the Demon Emperor the opportunity to lead the human race."

"In this way, friction between the two sides is inevitable!"

"Although the Demon Emperor is strong, he is far inferior to the Heaven Suppressing King, and even less terrifying than the Future Human King!"

The kings of the Earth Cave nodded.

On Heaven Sealing Island, Feng's eyes flickered; perhaps it was time for him to emerge from seclusion.

Although he had schemed against Mo Wenjian, there would be no Rank 7 Heavenly King Mo Wenjian without him!

After all, Mo Wenjian was his disciple.

King Gen, King Xun, and King Gan watched the Sky Screen, exchanging glances with a sense of helplessness.

"It seems that obtaining information about the Future Human King from the Sky Screen is nearly impossible."

"We must find other ways!"

King Gan laughed, "The human race lacks resources, so we shall provide them with resources!

We will invite all parties to hold a Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament, using profit to lure them in, and then surround and kill the human prodigies!"

They were not fools; naturally, they could deduce the age and realm of the Future Human King from the revelations of the Sky Screen.

The realm must be below Rank 7, otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the Land of King Battles alongside Ji Yao.

The age would not be too high either—under 30—as anyone older would lack the potential for further cultivation.

"But what if Heaven Suppressing King and Martial King Zhang Tao choose not to participate?"

"Then we shall force the Four Great Royal Courts of the Earth Cave to dispatch their prodigy disciples to the outer regions of the Earth Cave to conquer the human martial artists!"

"Agreed."

On the other side, God Emperor whispered, "I wonder when the Future Human King will truly be exposed to the eyes of everyone in the Three Realms."

"I fear many are already intending to exterminate the prodigy martial artists of the Human Realm," Eastern Emperor laughed.

Since they did not know exactly who the Future Human King was, they simply had to kill all the prodigy martial artists of the Human Realm!

Heaven Fighting Emperor gazed at the Sky Screen and said in a deep voice, "As long as the Future Human King does not appear, the Human Realm will never know peace."

There were too many people who wanted to kill the Future Human King.

Human Emperor, the Earth Cave, the various powerhouses of the Three Realms, and even the creator, the Seed!

Although Heaven Suppressing King and God Forger were strong, they could not single-handedly contend against all these factions and Human Emperor.

They might be able to evade a killing blow once or twice, but the human prodigies would eventually have to head to the Earth Cave to fight.

Thus, they could not escape the fate of clashing with all sides!

The Earth Cave was stirring, and the other factions were stirring as well.

Survival King Pingshan of the Earth Cave was utterly speechless.

He had been hiding perfectly well, but King Ming had suddenly sought him out, claiming they needed to hold a Hundred Kings Conference, and he had been forced to attend.

King Pingshan sighed; he truly wanted to just run away for good, but he dared not.

He was too weak and feared being killed and fed to the dogs.

The Sky Screen shone with golden light!

[Sixth Place: Earth Cave Survival King, King Pingshan!]

"What! I actually made the list!"

King Pingshan was stunned; he had actually gifted opportunities and resources to the Future Human King as well!

The various kings of the Earth Cave were also dumbfounded upon seeing the new entry.

First there was Ji Yao, then King Pingshan, and there was also that Seven-Surname Slave, King Huai...

The Earth Cave was truly full of talent, dedicated to delivering resources to the Future Human King!

King Huai looked at the name of King Pingshan on the Sky Screen and smiled.

He had thought he was the only True King of the Earth Cave acting as a Dao Protector for the Future Human King, but he hadn't expected that coward Pingshan to be one too!

"Survival King... that is quite fitting!"

King Huai's eyes held a smile; in the vast Earth Cave, only he and Pingshan were truly smart people.

He was a "Seven-Surname Slave" only to stay alive.

King Pingshan had been a True King for 300 years, always hunkering down in his own royal domain and refusing to go anywhere; it seemed like he lacked ambition, but in reality, he was simply avoiding trouble!

In the Human Realm, Zhang Tao also smiled as he looked at the name of King Pingshan.

This guy was also a strange one.

His cowardice made one wonder how he had ever managed to step into the True King realm.

"Another True King of the Earth Cave?"

Fang Ping was somewhat surprised; he remembered that the Seven-Surname Slave, King Huai, had been called a Dao Protector of the Future Human King by the Sky Screen.

He hadn't expected there to be another True King in the Earth Cave who was his "Dao Protector"!

A pair of Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix!

King Pingshan, the Survival King of the Earth Cave, was terrified of death!

Having achieved the rank of True King three hundred years ago, he had always holed up in the Pingshan Domain, contentedly acting as his own "mountain lord."

When the various True Kings of the Earth Cave surrounded and attacked Martial King Zhang Tao, he used his discord with King Huai, Huai Ying, as an excuse to "indignantly" depart, thus avoiding the disaster.

When the powerhouses of the Three Realms besieged the human powerhouses, his fear of death was so intense that he chose to stage a fake fight with the then-Rank Nine Future Human King, forcing a stalemate and even pretending to be at a slight disadvantage!

To avoid losing such a suitable opponent, he was even forced to help cover for the Future Human King, directly ensuring that the Future Human King did not die on the spot!

The Sky Screen suddenly displayed a scene.

The Future Human King, whose appearance and figure could not be clearly seen, slashed a sword toward King Pingshan. Before the sword light even touched King Pingshan's body, the flesh on his arm instantly collapsed!

Then, King Pingshan collided with the Future Human King again; the Future Human King did not retreat a single step, while he was sent flying backward for over a hundred meters!

This left everyone in the Three Realms stunned!

A True King colliding with a Rank Nine martial artist, only to be sent flying back over a hundred meters!

He wasn't even trying to act anymore, was he!

"Is this King Pingshan really that afraid of death? How did he even break through to become a True King!"

"Indignantly departed, my foot! King Pingshan must have been blooming with joy, hiding at home and giggling behind his hand!"

"What a forced stalemate, 'slightly at a disadvantage' indeed!"

"An acting legend, the acting legend of the Earth Cave!"

"Wonderful, simply wonderful!"

"If all the True Kings of the Earth Cave were like King Pingshan, why worry about not conquering the Three Realms!"

The True Kings of the Earth Cave were so angry they laughed.

This guy King Pingshan had no shame left!

As a True King, to be at a slight disadvantage while fighting a Rank Nine.

Just strip him of his True King status already.

The Earth Cave True Kings were speechless, but everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Tao also smiled.

This guy was truly a talent!

It was only because it was King Pingshan; if any other Earth Cave True King had fought Fang Ping, Fang Ping would surely have died. Other True Kings would not be like King Pingshan.

Fang Ping also couldn't help but laugh.

A talent indeed. If all the Earth Cave True Kings were like King Pingshan, then the Three Realms would truly be at peace!

Of course, laughter was one thing, but Fang Ping wouldn't be so naive as to think King Pingshan was a good person.

The guy might be a survivor, but he certainly wouldn't be close to humanity, let alone engage in any intimate cooperation with humans.

In the Earth Cave, King Pingshan's face turned green!

He had his pride too, okay!

Forget it, losing face was better than losing his life.

He could understand why his future self would do such a thing, and he even felt a little bit of relief!

Most importantly... he had made the list, and he could receive a reward!

King Pingshan was happy at first, then became somewhat worried.

Would the Sky Screen's reward attract the covetous eyes of others?

If it rewarded resources or divine artifacts, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep them.

But having watched the Sky Screen for so long, King Pingshan had noticed some clues.

The rewards from the Sky Screen were quite compatible with the people on the list.

"If only it would give me a safe house. I would just stay inside until I die of old age!"

King Pingshan sincerely made a wish to the Sky Screen.

[King Pingshan, the Survival King of the Earth Cave, always one step ahead of disaster!]

[Reward: Danger Intuition (capable of effectively alerting one to dangerous places and dangerous people).]

"This reward is too perfect for the Survival King!"

"King Pingshan is invincible!"

"Grey Cat can avoid disasters, but King Pingshan is one step ahead of them... what a talent."

"With so many talents in the Earth Cave, why worry about it not flourishing!"

"..."

Some were watching the show, some were watching the fun, but there were also those who wanted to "invite" King Pingshan back.

King Gan's eyes flickered: "If we have King Pingshan with us, wouldn't we be able to lower the danger of entering the Heavenly Grave!"

King Gen, King Xun, and the others all had their eyes light up.

King Pingshan was simply a supreme treasure for avoiding danger!

"Such a treasure should belong to all of us!"

At the same time, in the Pingshan Domain!

King Pingshan's alarm bells rang wildly, scaring him so much that he grabbed his already packed belongings and immediately ran for his life.

"The Pingshan Domain is no longer safe!"

The Earth Cave and the Forbidden Sea were incomparably vast; even if someone truly wanted to harm him, they could not easily find him!

(In the original work, Mo Wenjian intended to lie low, lie low, and lie low again, enduring to survive. Even if he truly knelt down, he would stand back up again. Even if it wronged the human race, it didn't matter, as long as he waited for his rise... Actually, from his perspective, he wasn't wrong; it's just a difference in philosophy.

Fang Ping's actions did indeed cause many people to die, and from Mo Wenjian's perspective, Fang Ping was indeed stirring up trouble. In this regard, Mo Wenjian was not wrong either.

The characterization of Mo Wenjian is a bit petty, and the same goes for Jiang Hao.)

Finally, I ask for your continued reading, for votes, and for everything else. Thank you all.
