"Old Ghost, you actually didn't shatter your Original Martial Arts body. You've hidden yourself truly deep!"

God Forger stared at Heaven Suppressing King with a look of astonishment.

Cultivating both paths simultaneously, with both bodies reaching Break EightHeaven Suppressing King's ambition was not small at all.

Zhang Tao's expression was grave; he didn't say much, nor did he ask why Heaven Suppressing King had hidden his strength all this time, sitting idly by while the Earth Cave invaded and slaughtered humanity.

Even someone like Heaven Suppressing King was only ranked fifth, with four other "old foxes" ahead of him; it was only natural for Heaven Suppressing King to hide his strength.

Heaven Suppressing King remained composed and said nothing. He gazed at the Sky Screen, thinking to himself, I hope the Sky Screen leaves me some dignity.

In his early years, he had done his fair share of swindling and deception.

If this were to be exposed... he would be sitting at the same table as the Seven-Surname Slave and the Shame of the True Kings!

[Heaven Suppressing King Li Zhen, born forty thousand years ago, possessed astonishing talent and apprenticed under Yang God, one of the leaders of Original Martial Arts.

During the Heavenly Court era, when the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors vied for supremacy over the Three Realms, Heaven Suppressing King was ranked among the supreme powerhouses. Yang God declared he would become an Emperor, and the various Emperors held him in high regard, addressing each other as fellow Daoists.

On the surface, he shattered his Original Martial Arts body to switch to the Origin path, but in reality, he snuck behind the Void Gate and stole a secondary seed.

Using the secondary seed, he spent two thousand years secretly forging a Jade Bone and reached Break Eight in the Origin path!

With an Original Martial Arts body and an Origin body both at Break Eight, if the two bodies could successfully merge completely, his combat power would exceed one hundred million!

After the Heavenly Court fell, Heaven Suppressing King followed the orders of Yang God to protect the Human Realm, clear out the chess pieces of the Emperors, and open a new path, secretly laying plans to become the Heaven Suppressing King of the Human Realm.

During this period, he helped Demon Emperor Mo Wenjian reincarnate, assisted Martial King Zhang Tao and Underworld King Li Zhen in attaining their Dao, and provided great help to the growth of the Future Human King.]

"Terrifying! Heaven Suppressing King's strength is too terrifying!"

Eight thousand years ago, Heaven Suppressing King was already a supreme powerhouse. Now, couldn't Heaven Suppressing King already successfully merge his two bodies and break through to become an Emperor?

With the two bodies merged, his combat power would exceed one hundred million!

One hundred million Vitality... no one dared to imagine how powerful a combat power of one hundred million would be!

The Earth Cave True Kings were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even break a sweat!

Heaven Suppressing King was simply too powerful and too ancient!

King Ming was already feeling somewhat desperate at this moment.

Combat power of one hundred million... that meant Heaven Suppressing King could wipe him out, body and soul, with a single sneeze.

"Are all Emperors this powerful?"

King Ming whispered to himself.

The Nine Emperors and Four Emperors vied for the Three Realms... there were 13 powerhouses with the combat power of Emperors!

Adding Heaven Suppressing King, that made 14!

These powerhouses were all extremely ancient existences who had cultivated for a thousand, ten thousand, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years!

In just a short hundred years, how could they, the martial artists of the new era, compete with these ancient powerhouses?

The King of the Earth Cave, the Emperor of the Earth Cave... were ultimately just a fantasy bubble.

King Ming's expression was sorrowful. He had originally thought that above the Emperor level was the Emperor rank, and that he could become an Emperor to suppress everything—to suppress King Gen, King Xun, King Gan, and the others.

But reality told him that he was not worthy!

At this moment, countless people were shocked to the point of terror!

Combat power of one hundred million!

Such a powerhouse could perhaps destroy all the royal courts of the entire Earth Cave with a single punch!

And there were several more powerhouses like Heaven Suppressing King!

Unless the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors were all dead, but the description on the Sky Screen did not make it seem like the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors had already fallen.

Zhang Tao also fell into complete silence.

Combat power of one hundred million... when Heaven Suppressing King had just dragged him into his small world, he hadn't even been able to react.

Was this the terror of a supreme powerhouse?

Then why did Heaven Suppressing King, the Emperors, and Yang God not show themselves, and why did they not unify the Three Realms to end the strife?

"Why did the Heavenly Court fall, and why did Yang God let Heaven Suppressing King protect the Human Realm? What is the reincarnated Demon Emperor plotting in Star Suppressing City, and who is the Demon Emperor?"

The more information the Sky Screen exposed, the more Zhang Tao felt that a heaven-shaking conspiracy was hidden within it!

[Li Zhen has a reserved yet mischievous personality, and is quite shameless.

During the Heavenly Court era, he secretly snatched food that Grey Cat and Heavenly Dog had scavenged—he stole food from a dog!]

Heaven Suppressing King: "Sky Screen, screw your ancestors! Who stole food from a dog!"

[He also peeked at the only female Emperor, Spirit Emperor, while she was bathing, and had his face beaten swollen by Spirit Emperor!]

Heaven Suppressing King: "Slander! The Sky Screen is slandering me! It is slandering me!"

"Pfft! Heaven Suppressing King is truly a talent!"

"Bah, at his age, he's actually this shameless—stealing food from a dog and peeking at a woman bathing!"

"The Heaven Suppressing King actually dared to peek at an Emperor bathing; he truly has the guts to match his high skill!"

"By the way, the Spirit Emperor must be incredibly beautiful!"

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. If the Sky Screen keeps exposing the Heaven Suppressing King's embarrassing moments, he'll soon be sitting at the same table as the Seven-Surname Slave and the Shame of the True Kings!"

"Meow? This old man actually robbed this cat before!"

"Ah, this..."

Zhang Tao looked at the Heaven Suppressing King, whose face was pitch black, and found it hard to comment.

He hadn't expected that even a supreme expert like the Heaven Suppressing King would do such shameless things, and the most critical part was that it had been exposed.

Beside him, the God Forger was bent over with laughter, grinning from ear to ear.

"Old Ghost, your reputation is completely ruined!"

The next second, the God Forger couldn't laugh anymore.

[Twenty thousand years ago, the Heaven Suppressing King Li Zhen secretly robbed the God Forger's God Forging Mansion and snatched away many of the God Forger's divine artifacts!]

"Damn it!"

The God Forger's face turned black, and he glared at the Heaven Suppressing King with malicious intent, cursing loudly:

"Li Zhen, I'll screw your ancestors!"

"Return my divine artifacts!"

The Heaven Suppressing King's face darkened: "What yours? They are all mine!"

"Screw you!"

The God Forger was furious.

Zhang Tao watched the Heaven Suppressing King with interest; this old ghost's heart was truly black!

[The War King Jiang Tianming of Star Suppressing City was tricked by him into becoming his foster son, and later, he was forcibly made a godfather by the Future Human King, who then looted his wealth!

He also successfully tricked the Martial King Zhang Tao into drinking his foot-washing water!]

"Pfft, I really can't hold it in anymore!"

"The Heaven Suppressing King is truly heartless! The Martial King Zhang Tao is also quite pitiful; he was actually tricked into drinking the Heaven Suppressing King's foot-washing water!"

"Old Ancestor, you actually wanted to acknowledge the Heaven Suppressing King as your godfather!" a certain Little Fatty blurted out in surprise.

"I didn't do any such thing!"

The War King was furious, cursing inwardly.

Why did the exposure of the Heaven Suppressing King have to drag him into it? He had a reputation to maintain, too!

However, seeing that Zhang Tao had drunk that old ghost's foot-washing water, the War King laughed again.

There is no harm without comparison; the Sky Screen's damage to Zhang Tao was even greater.

The Heaven Suppressing King was stunned at first by the Sky Screen's exposure of him, then he laughed happily.

This time, it was Zhang Tao's turn to have a black face.

He actually drank Old Ghost Li's foot-washing water in the future? I'll be damned...

Seeing Zhang Tao drink the foot-washing water, Li Zhen and Nan Yueyun also laughed unkindly.

At Magic Martial University, Fang Ping was torn between laughter and tears. If he remembered correctly, when the Sky Screen exposed the Martial King Zhang Tao earlier, it seemed to have mentioned that Zhang Tao had acknowledged a foster father.

The Martial King acknowledged a foster father, the War King acknowledged a foster father, and the Future Human King also acknowledged a foster father... This is truly a mess!

"Wait, the Future Human King?!"

Fang Ping's face darkened. He was very likely the Future Human King.

Did he also become a Lu Bu who specializes in acknowledging foster fathers in the future?!

On Heaven Sealing Island.

Feng looked at the Sky Screen, his eyes narrowing.

"Mo Wenjian actually abandoned everything to reincarnate and recultivate!"

Mo Wenjian, the number one person of the sect era and a good friend of the Grey Cat, had entered the Heavenly Grave with the help of the Grey Cat. His strength was likely not below that of a Heavenly King!

To possess such strength and yet choose to reincarnate!

Within Purple Canopy Mountain, Gong Yuzi, the master of Mo Wenjian, also felt somewhat desolate.

"Has Wenjian reincarnated..."

In the void of Star Suppressing City, Mo Wenjian watched the Sky Screen's exposure of him, his mind shaken.

"It's fortunate that the Sky Screen didn't completely expose my identity."

He did not want everything to be exposed.

If his identity were to be exposed, his entire layout would likely end in complete failure.

"Damn it!"

In the Origin Source, Spirit Emperor stared at the Sky Screen revealing the incident where Heaven Suppressing King had peeked at her bathing. Her voice was chilling, and cold light erupted from her eyes!

God Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and Eastern Emperor all chuckled one after another.

Heaven Suppressing King really was a closet pervert.

At Southern Martial University, Wang Jinyang watched the Sky Screen expose Heaven Suppressing King as an old lecher and a closet pervert, and he was left completely stunned.

"Are all powerhouses this..."

Wang Jinyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a pause, he said, "Are they all this unconventional?"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Xuan burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears were about to stream down his face.

He patted Wang Jinyang on the shoulder and laughed:

"Old Wang, pride comes before a fall. Only by being shameless can one live better."

"By the way, do you want to acknowledge a foster father or a godfather too? I see you have an Emperor's Bearing!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinyang couldn't help but shiver, and he hurriedly shook his head to refuse.

Zhang Xuan laughed until his body trembled.

The moment he thought of the scene where Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, and War King would call out for a godfather when they needed something and call him Old Ghost when they didn't, he couldn't suppress his laughter.

The Sky Screen's exposure continued.

[Evaluation: Heaven Suppressing King Li Zhen, dual cultivator of Original Martial Arts and Origin Source Dao. He practices both paths simultaneously, merging two bodies into one—the second person in history to do so. The Emperors praise him as the second War Heavenly Emperor, possessing an Emperor's Bearing!

Heaven Suppressing King can fight to the death with Rank Nine experts below, and stand on equal footing with Emperors above. The title of 'Fifty-Fifty Split' is well-deserved!]

"Fifty-Fifty Split... I'm dying of laughter!"

"Hahahaha, what a great 'can fight to the death with Rank Nine experts below, and stand on equal footing with Emperors above.' Heaven Suppressing King is truly outstanding!"

"Hiss! If Heaven Suppressing King is hailed as the second War Heavenly Emperor, then wouldn't that War Heavenly Emperor be even more powerful!"

"Second in history, second War Heavenly Emperor... Heaven Suppressing King shouldn't be called 'Old Six', he should be called 'Old Two'!"

"..."

Heaven Suppressing King watched the Sky Screen's evaluation of him, his face falling as his eyes turned unkind.

Two 'twos'—was this a veiled insult calling him an idiot?

"Wait, second in history?"

Heaven Suppressing King was somewhat shocked. Before him, someone had actually merged two bodies into one.

How could this be!

Zhang Tao stroked his chin and pondered: "War Heavenly Emperor, one of the Four Emperors?"

If Heaven Suppressing King was this formidable yet was only hailed as the second War Heavenly Emperor, then just how strong must the War Heavenly Emperor be?

Yang God, who was drinking coconut juice, was also a bit surprised. Second in history—who was the first person to merge two bodies into one?!

Heavenly Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, God Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were all powerhouses who had forcibly stepped into the Origin Source from Original Martial Arts. In the eyes of Yang God, Human Emperor and Southern Emperor were not even worth mentioning.

"These Three Realms are getting more and more interesting!"

Everyone was laughing and filled with suspicion.

As for fear and cowardice, they had all been suppressed deep within their hearts.

The waters of the Three Realms were too deep; one careless step and you could drown.

Under such high pressure, it was nice to finally have some entertainment to relieve the tension, so they didn't mind laughing a little.

[Basic Reward: Origin Source Dao transforms from fake to real, resolving internal Origin Source hidden dangers, free from the shackles of the Origin Source, and able to Transcend the Three Realms.

Advanced Reward: Original Martial Arts body Breaks Nine; one piece of Break Nine spiritual consciousness crystal; one cluster of Origin Source energy.]

"Original Martial Arts body Breaks Nine!"

Heaven Suppressing King was ecstatic. He was going to be invincible!

He was going to become an Emperor!

Now that he was free from the shackles of the Origin Source and his fake Dao had become real, as long as his Original Martial Arts body reached Break Nine, it would mean both bodies reached Break Nine. He could immediately merge the two bodies and prove his Dao to become an Emperor!

Under normal circumstances, his Original Martial Arts body could never reach Break Nine; he had estimated that he would only be able to prove his Dao by reaching Break Eight on both.

But he hadn't expected the Sky Screen's rewards to be so perfectly aligned with his desires!

Whether it was the Original Martial Arts body reaching Break Nine, the spiritual consciousness crystal, or the Origin Source energy, these were all things he needed.

God Forger's eyes turned red with envy—a Break Nine spiritual consciousness crystal!

Damn it, this Old Ghost Li Zhen is really about to become an Emperor!

And he could become an Emperor at any moment!

No, he had to quickly dye his True Blood and divine artifacts completely with his own essence; otherwise, if this Old Ghost became an Emperor, he was afraid he would be robbed by him again.

Zhang Tao's expression was complex; the Heaven Suppressing King was about to become an Emperor!

After becoming an Emperor, the Heaven Suppressing King might have to leave Star Suppressing City.

"Congratulations, Heaven Suppressing King."

Zhang Tao smiled faintly.

The Heaven Suppressing King retracted his smile, his expression complex.

He glanced at Zhang Tao and sighed softly, "Kid Zhang, there is no need to be so guarded; I will still protect the Human Realm."

The God Forger sensed that the atmosphere was off, but he couldn't say anything.

The Heaven Suppressing King had guarded the Human Realm for eight thousand years without ever revealing his true strength, while humanity had suffered heavy casualties.

Even when facing the relentless pressure from the Earth Cave, the Heaven Suppressing King had still refused to reveal his strength.

Perhaps Zhang Tao and the others resented the Heaven Suppressing King.

They resented that he was clearly so powerful, yet refused to show his strength to keep humanity safe and sound.

Zhang Tao's expression was solemn: "On behalf of the Hua Nation, I thank the Heaven Suppressing King!"

As he spoke, he bowed.

The Heaven Suppressing King sighed silently.

"I won't go into the specifics; you will know later."

It wasn't that he didn't want to reveal his strength, but that he dared not; the other Heavenly Kings and Saints also dared not rashly expose their power.

There were Emperors in these Three Realms, as well as the Emperors' spokespeople, and all of them were under the surveillance of the Emperors.

"Old Ghost Zhen, are you going to verify your path and become an Emperor?" the God Forger asked.

The Heaven Suppressing King shook his head; he was not prepared to verify his path right now.

God knows what would happen if he verified his path now.

He had already transcended, and if he were to verify his path and become an Emperor, he would be the first Emperor to have transcended!

How could the Heaven Fighting Emperor, the God Emperor, and the others let him verify his path smoothly?

Earth Cave, King Ming looked at the rewards for the Heaven Suppressing King on the Sky Screen, his face drained of color, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a single word.

He clenched his fists, his body shaking.

The Heaven Suppressing King was really going to become an Emperor!

His greatest wish in this life was to become an Emperor, but could he really achieve it?

"Hoo, the strong have all transcended, so the Three Realms are our stage; I may not necessarily be unable to catch up from behind!"

King Ming's eyes were incredibly cold and sharp; given time, he might not be unable to become an Emperor.

He only hated that he was born a thousand or ten thousand years too late.

"Is the Heaven Suppressing King going to become an Emperor? The first Emperor to Transcend the Three Realms... it really is enviable!"

Li Zhu sighed with emotion, his eyes deep and indifferent.

He was not an Emperor; if he had already become an Emperor, he could leave the Three Realms and take a look at the vast, boundless universe.

"Will the Heaven Fighting Emperor, the God Emperor, and the others let the Heaven Suppressing King become an Emperor smoothly?" Li Zhu chuckled, looking forward to it.

Origin Source, The God Emperor, the Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor gathered together.

The Heaven Fighting Emperor chuckled: "Do you think Zhen dares to merge his two bodies and verify his path to become an Emperor?"

The God Emperor wore a smile: "He probably fears that we will obstruct him from breaking through the Nine and verifying his path."

"Zhen underestimates us too much!"

The Eastern Emperor chuckled lightly.

They didn't care whether Zhen could merge his two bodies, break through the Nine, and become an Emperor.

When Zhen's Great Dao was rooted in the Origin Source, they didn't care.

Now that Zhen's Great Dao was no longer shackled by the Origin Source, they cared even less.

They were even looking forward to Zhen bringing them a surprise.

Zhen could not imagine their bearing as Emperors; he would only think they were afraid of him, afraid of the Yang God.

(Two-in-one, please follow the story, please support everything, kneeling in thanks to everyone!)
