"Yue Ling... the woman who made Fang Ping and me's eyes light up?"
Zhang Tao was practically dumbfounded!
If he remembered correctly, Yue Ling seemed to be married to Hong Yu, the Earth Emperor's son, right?
Could it be... "Madam, you wouldn't want to..."
"Ahem, ahem."
Seeing Wang Jinyang and Fang Ping staring at him, Zhang Tao awkwardly cleared his throat twice.
[ Yue Ling. When the powerhouses of the Three Realms surrounded and slaughtered the human experts, Future Human King tricked her by claiming he had found the remains of her husband, Hong Yu, with his sword as proof. Just as the human experts were on the verge of defeat, she descended from the sky!
During the battle, Yue Ling hadn't even arrived yet, but her slap had already landed on the face of King Tianzhi, one of the Two Kings.
She even berated King Gan, King Gen, and King Xun all by herself!
Seeing this, Future Human King's eyes shone with startling brightness. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Unreasonable... Damn, that's great!"
Because Heaven Suppressing King and Future Human King had tricked her into believing that King Kun and the Divine Sect had killed Hong Yu—and King Kun had once impersonated Hong Yu.
In a fit of rage, Yue Ling led the female True Gods of Wangwu Mountain to fight the Divine Sect, turning the tide of the crisis facing the human experts!
The current Human King, Martial King Zhang Tao, also stared at Yue Ling with shining eyes!]
The Divine Sect,
King Kun's face darkened. He hadn't done anything! How had he ended up taking the blame for killing Hong Yu?!
"Li Zhen, I'll curse your ancestors!"
Hong Yu looked awkward. The Two Kings were his men, after all.
Yue Ling's face was flushed with anger!
Future Human King and Li Zhen were so shameless, tricking her again and again!
"Shameless!"
Yue Ling cursed, then rolled her eyes at Hong Yu.
Li Zhu's lips twitched. He furtively glanced at Yue Ling and took a small step back.
He couldn't afford to provoke her. His second sister-in-law was truly someone he couldn't mess with!
In the distance, King Tianzhi covered his face. His face hurt!
"Unreasonable... that's so Yue Ling!"
"I'm dying! She hadn't even arrived, and the slap had already landed!"
"Emperor Yue Ling is awesome! She cursed out the Two Kings, then the Heavenly Kings, and even went to war with the Divine Sect. She's freaking mighty!"
"What a domineering female Heavenly King.
No wonder the Earth Emperor's son, Hong Yu, lost to her in bed. He had no one to blame but himself!"
"..."
King Gan's lips twitched. No wonder Martial King Zhang Tao and the others had managed to "turn defeat into victory" while surrounded by powerhouses.
So they'd had Yue Ling's help!
King Gen and King Xun had black lines all over their foreheads.
They could already imagine how Yue Ling had cursed them out.
The Earth Caves,
King Ming sucked in a sharp breath. "The Lord of Wangwu Mountain is actually this domineering!"
If someone so domineering and powerful had helped Zhang Tao and the others, he would have been thrilled too, if he were Zhang Tao!
The Human Realm,
Fang Ping and Zhang Tao exchanged a glance. They finally understood why their eyes had lit up at the sight of Yue Ling.
Yue Ling was truly domineering and reliable!
She had turned the crisis facing the human experts around all by herself. She made people feel so safe!
The New Spirit Emperor Palace,
Grey Cat shrank its plump body. Yue Ling was so fierce.
Spirit Emperor was astonished and saddened. Yue Ling had been so cute and gentle back then.
But now... It was all because of the Immortal Source, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Seed that she had gone mad too!
[Afterward, once Yue Ling entered the Fake Heavenly Grave Secret Realm, Future Human King tricked the remaining female True Gods of the Wangwu lineage into helping him kill his enemies.
Later, when Yue Ling returned, Future Human King wanted her to come out and stop Hong Yu. He told her that once he reached the Jade Bone Realm, he'd break all the bones in his body and give them to her!
But in the end, he never did.]
"Heh," Yue Ling laughed angrily.
Future Human King really was shameless!
Hong Yu was speechless too. How shameless!
Li Zhu shook his head with a wry smile. Each generation really was worse than the last.
Zhang Tao was shameless, and Future Human King was even worse.
[However, not long afterward, when Future Human King entered the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm, he gave her his life force to forge her Jade Bone.]
Yue Ling: "..."
Wait, couldn't it all have been revealed at once?
[When Future Human King half-cooperated, half-threatened, and half-madly "forced" Yue Ling to stop Hong Yu, she felt dread, helplessness, and even fear for the first time!
She said Future Human King was unworthy of being a Human King. He was a Human Demon!]
At that moment, Yue Ling's expression shifted repeatedly.
She didn't know how Future Human King had threatened her, but her future self had actually become afraid of a junior!
"Human Demon..."
Yue Ling thought of Li Zhu, the "Demon of the Earth Caves."
If Future Human King could make her afraid, then he wasn't merely a demon to humanity. He was a demon of the Earth Caves, a demon of the Three Realms!
A Demon King, not a Human King!
Li Zhu's eyes trembled too. Human Demon!
"One king and one demon?"
At that moment, the Three Realms were in an uproar!
"Damn! Even Yue Ling was afraid of Future Human King and called him a Human Demon!"
"Human Demon? What on earth did Future Human King do to Yue Ling to make her so afraid?"
"Unbelievable! Impossible!"
"Yue Ling was afraid? How could that be!"
The Three Realms were in an uproar!
All the powerhouses of the Three Realms knew of Yue Ling's domineering nature. Those who hadn't known her had learned about her from the recent revelations on the Sky Screen.
How could such a domineering woman actually fear Future Human King?!
Unbelievable!
King Gan's expression was grave. "Future Human King's ruthlessness is probably far beyond what we can imagine!"
King Xun and King Gen nodded in agreement.
Yue Ling was someone even Grey Cat and Heavenly Dog, those two scourges, ran away from.
How terrifying must someone be to make her afraid?
The Earth Caves,
King Ming's expression was grave. Future Human King was more dangerous than he had imagined!
Anyone called a Human Demon had to be extremely ruthless and utterly unscrupulous!
If Future Human King really became the ruler of the Three Realms, he would surely settle accounts with all the Earth Cave warriors!
Anyone who opposed him would die!
"Human Demon! What a Human Demon!"
King Ming sneered.
With the Sky Screen exposing this, the factions of the Three Realms would surely be even warier of Future Human King!
What was a demon?
Someone who stopped at nothing, had no bottom line, and committed every evil!
Martial King Zhang Tao was also unscrupulous in public, but he still wasn't called a demon.
So what on earth had Future Human King done to earn the name of demon?
Had he wiped out multiple factions?
It definitely couldn't be that simple!
The Human Realm,
Fang Ping looked astonished. He would be called a Human Demon in the future?
How could that be!
Fang Ping furrowed his brows. What kind of desperate situation would he be driven into before he became a demon?
In that moment, pressure and fear came crashing down on him!
Zhang Tao's expression was grave as well.
With the name Human Demon out there, Fang Ping would be in even greater danger!
Still, it should intimidate some of the factions.
[In his original fate, Yue Ling was a tragic figure. Her own father, Northern Emperor, schemed against her and burned a Life Planet, but Hong Yu took her place, and the Earth Emperor came to her rescue.
In the end, she fell into a deep slumber in the Three Realms.]
[Reward: Fake Jade Bone becomes real.]
"Jade Bone! Yue Ling is going to forge a Jade Bone!"
"Golden Bone is followed by Jade Bone. Is Yue Ling about to enter the Extreme Dao?"
"Yue Ling... a tragic figure. At least her life is pretty good now."
"Come on, with Yue Ling's background and strength, she still counts as a tragic figure? Then what does that make me?"
"..."
The Divine Sect,
Yue Ling ignored the changes in her body. Her eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Hong Yu, full of tenderness.
Li Zhu and King Kun exchanged smiles, then promptly left.
The knot between the couple would probably be untied soon.
On Heaven Sealing Island,
Feng's expression shifted. "Jade Bone?"
"Did Future Human King forge a Jade Bone too?"
A Nine-Forged Golden Body, and then a Jade Bone... Future Human King's potential and talent rivaled the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors!
He might even be stronger than the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors!
If he could "steal" Future Human King's fortune, he would surely become an Emperor!
In the Origin Source,
Western Emperor was green with envy. When would he make the list?
The Earth Caves,
King Huai stared at the Sky Screen without blinking. Would he make the list or not?
King Huai was anxiously fretting when golden light rippled across the Sky Screen once more!
[Third place: King Huai, Huai Ying!]
Seeing this, King Huai was thrilled. He was getting another reward!
But the smile vanished from his face the next moment.
Because he heard...
"The Seven-Surname Slave has arrived, fashionably late!"
"The one standing before you is King Huai, a True King of the Earth Caves' Heavenly Plant Royal Court, an unaffiliated True King of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court, a general under the Two Kings, Earth Dog True Lord of the Divine Sect, one of the Thirty-Six Saints of the New Heavenly Court, a friend of Martial King Zhang Tao, and Dao Protector to Future Human King! He's the Seven-Surname Slave, King Huai Huai Ying!
Hurry up and get the popcorn ready for the show!"
"Hahaha, there's another show to watch!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing what underhanded scheme King Huai pulls this time. Which faction will he sabotage?"
"I thought King Huai was a pure traitor to humanity.
Turns out even calling him Future Human King's Dao Protector is mostly a joke!"
"Huai Ying made the list again?! This is unfair!"
"..."
The Earth Caves,
King Ming wasn't surprised to see King Huai make the list again.
King Huai was a fence-sitter who sided with whoever was stronger. It wasn't surprising that he'd sided with Future Human King too.
The Divine Sect,
King Kun was curious. What kind of help would King Huai provide Future Human King this time?
The Human Realm,
Fang Ping blinked. King Huai had actually made it to third place this time!
He had no idea how big a favor King Huai had done him in the future to earn such a high ranking.
[After King Huai, Huai Ying, Hong Yu, and Li Zhu established the New Heavenly Court, they launched an attack on the Human Realm.
When King Tianming was breaking through to the Heavenly King level, King Huai attacked without hesitation and shattered King Tianming's Golden Body. Future Human King then stepped in and killed King Tianming for good.
The leader of the Righteous Path, Tianming, was killed in an instant. The Earth Caves' kings were shaken and routed!
After the battle, King Huai joined King Kun of the Divine Sect.
On an island in the Forbidden Sea, he encountered Future Human King, who was disguised as an Emperor-level peak expert.]
The two met, and they were birds of a feather!
King Huai immediately took the initiative to join forces with the Future Human King, planning to pull one over on the Divine Sect.
King Kun was delighted that King Huai had recruited a genius Emperor Venerable for the sect, and exclaimed that it was a joyous occasion for the Divine Sect!
"Joyous occasion my ass!"
"Hahahaha, what a joyous occasion for the Divine Sect!"
"I'm dying! King Huai and the Future Human King are conspiring to pull one over on the Divine Sect, and King Kun is still delighted!"
"I can already guess what's going to happen next!"
"King Huai really is a genius!"
"..."
The Divine Sect,
King Kun's face turned green!
Joyous occasion for the Divine Sect, my ass!
Huai Ying was a menace!
Li Zhu couldn't help laughing. Huai Ying really was something else.
There was no doubt about it: Huai Ying must have found himself a new patron in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to conspire with the Future Human King against King Kun.
The Earth Cave,
King Huai's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets!
Would the people of the Divine Sect come after him now?
Wouldn't it have been enough for the Sky Screen to reveal that he'd helped the Future Human King? Why did it have to
lay out the whole story!
"No, I need to run too!"
The Human Realm,
Fang Ping muttered to himself, What do you mean, 'birds of a feather'? The Sky Screen doesn't know how to use words!
Zhang Tao laughed too. King Huai really was a genius!
[With King Huai's introduction, the Future Human King successfully joined the Divine Sect and even joined the group heading to the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm.
It was precisely because of King Huai's actions that the Future Human King accidentally and fortuitously entered the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm and gained great benefits.
Not only did he learn many secret techniques, forge a Jade Bone, and gather the Eight Kings Seal and the Saint Order, but he also proved the Dao and reached Break Eight in one fell swoop—and later even reached Break Nine!]
"Holy crap! That's insane!"
"King Huai really kept a low profile until he made his move! He handed the Future Human King a huge opportunity!"
"Uh... why do I feel like King Kun was the one who gave him that opportunity?"
"I'm dying! King Kun was delighted that the Future Human King had joined him, and then the Future Human King turned around and took his Heavenly King Seal!"
"No wonder King Huai ranked third. He really is impressive!"
"King Huai was one hell of a Dao Protector!"
The Future Human King actually gathered the Eight Kings Seal and the Saint Order. Could he even get the Nine Emperors Seal later on?!
"Terrifying! The Future Human King's luck is just too incredible!"
The Divine Sect.
Li Zhu had to admit that the Future Human King was incredibly lucky.
Judging from the Sky Screen's account, the human race didn't know where the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm was. King Kun and the others did, though, and they were planning to go there.
Yet somehow, in the middle of all that, the Future Human King managed to join them. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to enter the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm.
King Kun's expression stiffened. So he was the one who'd brought the Future Human King—his "enemy"—to a place full of opportunities!
Wasn't that practically giving it away?
Who brought opportunities to their enemies?
The Earth Cave,
King Ming's pupils shook.
The Future Human King's luck was terrifying!
He'd entered the Secret Realm and immediately gained all sorts of benefits.
The gains of everyone else combined probably didn't measure up to his!
"The Heavenly Grave Secret Realm... where exactly is the Heavenly Grave?"
At that moment, many people grew greedy for the opportunity-laden Heavenly Grave Secret Realm.
But plenty of others knew how dangerous it was.
Back then, even the Break Eight Heavenly Dog had died in the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm.
Even Heavenly Kings faced danger there. An ordinary Emperor-level expert would be walking to their death!
"Demon Emperor... Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian entered the Heavenly Grave through Grey Cat back then!"
Someone recalled what had happened to Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian.
"Heh. Grey Cat is probably with Spirit Emperor now. Who would dare go looking for trouble with Grey Cat?"
"But the Demon Emperor has already been reincarnated. If we could capture his reincarnation..."
"The Future Human King and the Demon Emperor's reincarnation are both in the Human Realm. If we could capture them all and seize their opportunities and everything they have, we'd surely become Emperors!"
"The Human Realm is strong, but if the various sides joined forces, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat them!"
The Sky Screen's revelations about King Huai had once again exposed details about the Future Human King and the opportunities in the Heavenly Grave.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Grave was far too dangerous. Even Heavenly Kings wouldn't dare venture in lightly.
Unless all sides joined forces!
But if they did, the human race would surely make a move too.
The Human Realm,
Zhang Tao's expression was grave.
"The Heavenly Grave... If someone scours the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm for all its opportunities ahead of time, how will Fang Ping prove the Dao?"
Fang Ping was thinking about it too. The opportunities were there for the taking. If those who went first claimed more, those who came later would have less.
But right now, he was only a rank-one martial artist. Never mind the perilous Heavenly Grave Secret Realm—he couldn't even enter the Earth Cave.
Though Zhang Tao was worried, he didn't think the powerful experts of the Three Realms could enter the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm and seize its opportunities right away.
"From this moment on, the human race must keep a close eye on the actions of the powerful experts across the Three Realms!" Zhang Tao immediately issued the order.
The Earth Cave,
King Huai fell into thought.
He had passed by the Heavenly Grave once in the past.
It was too dangerous. One careless mistake, and not even a body would be left behind.
King Huai didn't dwell on it. Without a powerful expert to lead him, there was no way he could enter the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm.
Besides, the powerful experts across the Three Realms were all paying attention to the Heavenly Grave Secret Realm now.
If anyone went there, it would surely shake the Three Realms.
The fighting might even begin before they reached the Secret Realm!
King Huai stopped thinking about it and watched the Sky Screen, waiting for his reward.
[Reward: Emperor-Level Golden Body.]
"Just what I needed!"
King Huai was overjoyed. Like Zhang Tao, he practiced the Unity Dao, but his physical body wasn't strong enough. If he maintained unity for too long, his body would collapse.
Now, he had everything he needed!
"King Huai will probably become a Saint before long!"
"Unbeatable! King Huai is the strongest expert in the Earth Cave!"
The Earth Cave,
King Ming's expression tightened, and he couldn't help feeling pressed for time.
King Huai, once the weakest of the True Kings, was now about to become an Emperor-level expert who could rival him!
"If an opportunity comes up to surround and kill Martial King and the others, perhaps we can take Huai Ying out at the same time!"
King Huai's reward didn't cause much of a stir.
Aside from King Ming, who felt the pressure, everyone else was indifferent.
Just as King Ming, feeling the urgency, was about to enter seclusion and try to advance further, an uninvited guest showed up at his door!
King Ming's eyes narrowed.
"It's you!"
The shadow said nothing. It reached out, grabbed King Ming, and vanished into the distance.
It all happened without a sound.
