Without any hesitation, King Pingshan immediately packed his bags and ran!

His intuition had always been quite sharp, and now with his danger intuition, it was incredibly accurate!

If he didn't run now, when would he?

By the time King Gan, King Gen, and the others arrived at the Pingshan Domain, only a few stragglers remained; everyone else had fled!

The mid-to-high-rank Earth Cave martial artists of the Pingshan Domain were all too familiar with King Pingshan.

Seeing King Pingshan leave in such a hurry, these people instantly thought of "running away."

Consequently, all the Earth Cave martial artists in the Pingshan Domain who could run had done so.

"..."

King Gan, King Gen, and the others looked at each other, all wearing expressions of helplessness.

King Pingshan was truly worthy of being the Survival King of the Earth Cave; he ran truly fast!

"Forget it, the matter of the Heavenly Grave is not urgent."

King Gan raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "As for King Pingshan, it won't be too late to find him later."

King Gen and King Xun also smiled helplessly.

They had missed their chance.

The effect of King Pingshan's danger intuition was likely similar to the Grey Cat's psychic sensing.

As long as they didn't harbor malicious intent toward him, he wouldn't perceive them as "dangerous," which would allow them to approach him.

After King Gan and the others left, King Ming also sent people to the Pingshan Domain.

Upon learning that King Pingshan and the high-rank martial artists of the Pingshan Domain had all run away, he also laughed.

Right now, all factions were avoiding King Huai, that jinx who brought death wherever he went, like the plague.

As for King Pingshan, that Survival King, he was avoiding all factions like the plague.

One King Huai, one King Pingshan... those two might as well just get together!

King Ming sighed softly; it was too difficult.

The various kings of the Earth Cave each had their own agendas, not to mention the oddballs among them.

The team was too hard to lead!

Fortunately, Ji Hong had already become a True King, and Qi Huanyu had broken through his Great Dao, secretly becoming a True King as well.

With three True Kings in the Ji Family, plus Ji Yao as a prospective Emperor-level, the Heavenly Fate Royal Court had truly become the royal court of the Ji Family!

Others were unaware of what had happened at the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, only lamenting that the Survival King of the Earth Cave would likely become even more cautious from now on!

King Huai felt a bit wistful; he felt that this fellow Pingshan might have a rather miserable future.

Danger intuition... wasn't that just a human radar?

He often studied human civilization and knew about things like Minesweeper and radar.

"That fellow Pingshan had better pray he doesn't get caught by someone, otherwise... tsk tsk."

King Huai clicked his tongue twice.

His own "jinx" persona was still firmly established.

The gold content of the Sky Screen's certification was still rising!

Let alone trying to recruit him, other factions felt it would dirty their hands just to kill him!

Even King Ming was starting to dislike him now.

They didn't even invite him to the Hundred Kings Conference!

It was simply...

King Huai sighed.

Such a persona had its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

He couldn't join any faction, so he had to find resources on his own.

Fortunately, a drop of True Blood and the resources he had scavenged previously would be enough to last him a long time.

Martial King and his lot have tough lives; I can continue to cooperate with Martial King in the future, King Huai thought to himself.

Once he found out what moves King Ming and the others were planning against the Future Human King during the Hundred Kings Conference, he would contact Zhang Tao and sell the intelligence to earn resources!

Above the Sky Screen, golden light rippled as a new Dao Protector for the Human King was revealed!

[Fifth Place: Heavenly Fate Royal Court, Qi Huanyu!]

"Awesome, it's someone from the Ji Family again!"

"The Heavenly Fate Royal Court is still on a roll!

Not to mention Ji Yao, the previous King Pingshan was also a True King of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court!"

"The subordinates under King Ming are truly a talented bunch; first there was Ji Yao, and now there is Qi Huanyu, who cuckolded him!"

"Could it be that this Qi Huanyu has also taken a fancy to the Future Human King?"

"..."

The Three Realms were in an uproar, filled with endless laughter.

If they remembered correctly, the previous exposure on the Sky Screen recorded that King Ming had once wanted Ji Yao to "marry" the Future Human King!

Now, Ji Yao's own grandfather was even the "Dao Protector" of the Future Human King!

Heh, a double blessing!

King Ming could not help but widen his eyes.

What was going on!

Although he understood that this "Dao Protector" title was mostly meant in jest.

Every person on the list had truly provided assistance to the Future Human King, and almost all of it was critical.

Qi Huanyu had also assisted the Future Human King?!

Qi Huanyu was currently somewhat dazed; he had actually made the list too!

Ji Yao was also a bit sluggish; her "own grandfather" had actually made the list, and the key was that he was ranked ahead of her!

In the Human Realm, Fang Ping's face turned slightly dark. Ji Yao's own grandfather had also become his "Dao Protector"?

What a wild list!

Wang Jinyang's eyes lit up, looking forward to a wave of excitement.

[Qi Huanyu, Commander of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court.

Before the Land of King Battles was breached, the Future Human King, who had just advanced to the Rank Nine realm, entered the Land of King Battles and fought against the 800 Rank Nine martial artists of the Earth Cave led by Qi Huanyu, as well as some forces from the Heaven Beyond Heaven, some forces from the Boundary Land, and the Divine Court Army of the Two Kings!

When the Future Human King fought to a stalemate with Qi Huanyu, he launched a surprise attack on Qi Huanyu's origin Dao.

Not only did he find the flaws in Qi Huanyu's Dao, causing him to go mad, but he also forced Qi Huanyu to commit suicide.

At the same time, the Future Human King indirectly found the flaws in King Ming's origin Dao.

Using this point, the Future Human King and his companions, along with Martial King Zhang Tao, joined forces to kill King Ming in the Forbidden Sea!

Once King Ming died, the Earth Cave completely fell apart!]

"Awesome! Qi Huanyu didn't just cuckold King Ming, he also got King Ming killed. Awesome!"

"So that's how King Ming died. Is this what you call retribution?"

"Too strong! The Future Human King is too strong!

He could contend with Qi Huanyu just after breaking through to Rank Nine!"

"The Future Human King could actually launch a surprise attack on an enemy's origin Dao? How is that possible!"

"A divine artifact! He must have a divine artifact left for him by the War Heavenly Emperor!"

"..."

Qi Huanyu, the King Among Kings, a peerless powerhouse among the Rank Nine realm, an invincible existence at Rank Nine!

The Future Human King could contend with such a powerhouse just after breaking through to Rank Nine.

Doesn't that mean the Future Human King is highly likely to be able to kill True Kings when he reaches the peak of Rank Nine?!

At this moment, no one knew that when Fang Ping was at the late stage of Rank Nine, he could not only kill True Kings but also kill Emperor Venerables, and he would not even be defeated when facing the Saint realm!

In the Earth Cave, Heavenly Fate Royal Court.

King Ming's face was gloomy, while Qi Huanyu's face turned pale.

"Heh."

King Ming sneered, but he did not blame Qi Huanyu.

After all, who could have imagined that the Future Human King would be able to launch a surprise attack on someone else's origin Dao!

It was normal for Qi Huanyu to die after his Dao flaws were discovered by the Future Human King.

"No need to worry. Since the future has already been exposed, then we shall change the future!" Ambition gleamed in King Ming's eyes.

His Dao was now flawless, and Qi Huanyu had also broken through to become a True King!

Their future had already changed!

"Surprise attack on the origin Dao... is it a divine artifact?"

King Gan frowned slightly.

It was no surprise that the Future Human King had a divine artifact, but was the divine artifact really left by the War Heavenly Emperor?

Or was it given later by the Grey Cat?

Regardless, the Future Human King would only be stronger than they imagined!

In Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land, the Emperor Venerables and True Gods were filled with shock and greed!

"A divine artifact!"

"The Future Human King actually possesses a divine artifact!"

Divine artifacts are incomparably powerful; a True God wielding one could even slaughter an Emperor.

Every divine artifact has different functions, but all are extremely powerful!

Divine artifacts are useful even to Emperors!

Perhaps the Future Human King's divine artifact even contains an Extreme Dao inheritance!

If not, how else could the Future Human King have achieved the Nine Forgings of the Golden Body!

The Nine Forgings of the Golden Body is only possible through the Extreme Dao; it is the limit of the physical body!

Even during the era of the ancient Heavenly Court, the only powerhouse recorded to have achieved the Nine Forgings of the Golden Body was the War Heavenly Emperor!

This shows just how difficult and powerful the Nine Forgings of the Golden Body truly is!

"The Future Human King must be weak right now. If we can find him and seize his divine artifact..."

"The Human Realm has the Heaven Suppressing King. While we might not dare, others certainly will!"

"Although the remnant soul of the War Heavenly Emperor still exists, if we fight within the same realm, we cannot be blamed if the Future Human King dies!"

"The timid starve to death, while the bold are stuffed to death!"

"Since we cannot transcend anyway, we might as well contact all parties and gamble on a future!"

"If we obtain the Extreme Dao inheritance, we might be able to fight Emperors with the Extreme Dao, or even take control of the Immortal Source!"

In the Human Realm, Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang were both somewhat shocked.

Defects in the Great Dao!

To think that defects in the Great Dao could drive a person mad, even forcing them to commit suicide!

The Origin Source Dao is truly incomparably dangerous!

The two of them hurriedly asked about their doubts.

Zhang Tao did not hold anything back and told Wang Jinyang and Fang Ping everything he knew.

"It is a defect of the spirit and the will..."

Meanwhile, In the Origin Source, The Human Emperor looked at the information regarding the Future Human King brought by the pieces he had planted in the Human Realm, his eyes turning cold!

Nearly a thousand martial artists from rank one to rank nine had all been brought into Zhang Tao's base camp.

"A diversionary tactic? Since it is impossible to determine who the Future Human King is, then observe all talented martial artists with focus!

Even low-rank martial artists cannot be taken lightly!"

In the Earth Cave, Qi Huanyu was waiting for his reward.

The Fate King was also very curious about what Qi Huanyu's reward would be.

Ji Yao, however, did not think too much about it.

[Qi Huanyu, a heaven-gifted talent of his generation, though his fate is complex.]

[Reward: Repair the defects of the Great Dao.]

Qi Huanyu was greatly shocked!

Although he had forcibly broken through the True King Barrier, his Great Dao was extremely difficult to continue walking because it had been traversed by the Fate King.

Unless he changed his Dao!

But now, he did not need to change his Dao!

It is always better to use one's own things.

It was a pity that he had already forcibly broken through to become a True King earlier.

Otherwise, if he were to break through now, his Origin Source Dao would surely go much further!

Seeing this, the Fate King could not help but feel some worry.

Previously, he would not have killed Qi Huanyu just to prevent him from taking revenge.

But now, Qi Huanyu could continue to advance.

What if Qi Huanyu surpassed him? What should he do then?

There can only be one Emperor in the Heavenly Fate Royal Court!

A cold, sharp glint flickered in the eyes of King Ming; within a few years, Qi Huanyu would not be able to surpass him, and he knew the flaws in Qi Huanyu's Great Dao, so he had nothing to fear for the time being.

He still needed Qi Huanyu to exert effort and risk his life to capture and kill the Future Human King, so he could not kill him now!

King Ming appeared very indifferent.

Qi Huanyu and the others did not harbor any suspicions.

As the Hall Master of the True King Hall of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, King Ming certainly possessed the necessary mettle.

"Qi Huanyu has repaired his broken Great Dao; I fear he will soon become a True King!"

"As the King Among Kings, he has cultivated the Divine Dao Realm to a level unprecedented in history... Once he breaks through to the True King realm, he may not necessarily be weaker than King Feng!"

"The Ji Family has gained another True King!"

"I really don't know if King Ming will kill him."

"King Ming shouldn't kill Qi Huanyu, right? Though, it's hard to say."

In the Human Realm, Zhang Weiyu's expression was grave: "If Qi Huanyu steps into the True King realm, we will have gained yet another formidable enemy!"

Wu Chuan, whose "strength was average," looked somewhat bewildered.

His knowledge of Qi Huanyu was entirely derived from the revelations of the Sky Screen.

Wu Chuan asked: "Rank Nine invincible... invincible in the Earth Cave, and invincible in the Human Realm too?"

"Qi Huanyu, the King Among Kings, is invincible at Rank Nine!"

Zhang Weiyu said in a deep voice: "If we were to fight, I estimate I would not be his match."

As the Western Guardian, Zhang Weiyu was ranked 18th among the global Rank Nines.

As for Wu Chuan, who was also a Guardian, he was ranked 98th, so it was better not to mention him.

Zhang Tao watched the Sky Screen without any sign of gravity.

In his view, Qi Huanyu was not to be feared; even Nan Yunyue could kill him!

Not to mention, King Ming would not truly let Qi Huanyu continue on his path indefinitely.

Given time, the situation where Qi Huanyu's Great Dao was severed by King Ming would likely happen again.

"The exposure of Qi Huanyu indirectly confirms the strength of the Future Human King once more... This is not good news." Zhang Tao's expression tightened slightly.

The Earth Cave and other factions were likely already thinking about how to force out the human race's peerless martial artists at this very moment!

Yet, the human race could not allow these peerless martial artists to live under total protection and coddling.

Before long, I fear there will be battle after battle!

But fortunately, due to the deterrence of the Heaven Suppressing King and the others, no experts currently dared to spy on the Human Realm or kill human martial artists outside the Earth Cave.

"A storm is coming!"

"Why hasn't the Sky Screen revealed the next Dao Protector yet? I've been waiting until I'm withered!"

"It's noon already, I'm still waiting for the Sky Screen's revelation to eat my lunch!"

"It's here, it's here, the Sky Screen is back!"

[Fourth Place: Daughter-in-law of the Earth Emperor, daughter of the Northern Emperor, Master of Wangwu Mountain, the woman who made the Future Human King's eyes light up again and again, Emperor Yue Ling!]

"What! It's actually her!"

"The strongest expert of the Blessed Lands, the leader of the Northern Faction from years past, Emperor Yue Ling!"

"Yue Ling! Hong Yu's wife, how is she also a Dao Protector for the Future Human King!"

"Wait, the woman who made the Future Human King's eyes light up again and again? Is this a serious introduction?"

"Hiss, this crazy woman Yue Ling is actually going to receive a reward too? This isn't fair!"

"..."

In the Three Realms, there were not a few people who knew Yue Ling, especially among the experts, almost all of whom knew her.

After all, her status was noble, and she was incomparably overbearing.

In the past, even the Heavenly Dog would take a detour when passing by Wangwu Mountain.

Now, although the Northern Emperor had fallen, the Earth Emperor had returned; who would dare to provoke her, who would dare to be disrespectful to Yue Ling?

In the Divine Sect, Yue Ling's fair face flushed red—she was furious!

She was the woman who made the Future Human King's eyes light up again and again?

Slander, naked slander!

Hong Yu, however, did not overthink it; Yue Ling's feelings for him were beyond doubt.

Moreover, everyone knew full well that the Future Human King was also a shameless scoundrel.

He speculated that it was nine times out of ten because the Future Human King saw that Yue Ling was powerful, peerlessly domineering, and held a noble status, so he wanted to cling to her coattails, or perhaps he had swindled her.

Li Zhu also chuckled; he reckoned his second sister-in-law had been swindled quite badly by the Future Human King in the future.

Earth Cave, King Ming's expression turned solemn.

He had naturally heard of the master of Wangwu Mountain; she was powerful, incomparably domineering, and possessed a noble status.

He had not expected that she would also be involved with the Future Human King.

Could it be that she had also taken a fancy to the Future Human King and wanted to take him as a male concubine?

King Huai, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

Wait, was it not his turn yet?

Or was it that he was not on this list of guardians in quotation marks?

Human Realm, Fang Ping's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

What the hell was this about a woman who made his eyes light up again and again!

[Yue Ling, the only woman who could make the contemporary Human King, Martial King Zhang Tao, and the Future Human King's eyes shine bright!]

"Holy crap, Yue Ling even made the Martial King Zhang Tao, that Shame of the True Kings, light up!"

"Could it be that the two generations of Human Kings are planning to rob her?"

"As an Imperial Princess and Imperial Prince Consort, Yue Ling must be very wealthy!"

"Amazing! The Martial King and the Future Human King are too amazing; they actually dare to provoke a lunatic like Yue Ling!"

Inside the Divine Sect, Yue Ling's face turned completely black!

Hong Yu hurriedly began to comfort Yue Ling: "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

"I want to see exactly how I helped the Future Human King, to the point that I became a woman who made two generations of Human Kings' eyes light up again and again!"

Yue Ling gritted her teeth.
