However, in order to deepen his relationship with Luo Feng and the others, Su Heng did not head to the Extraterritorial Battlefield just yet.

Compared to Luo Feng, what did Purple Bell King's heavy treasure amount to?

Besides, Purple Bell King had already spent so long in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. There was no rush.

After sending his Four-Silver Clan avatar into the Time Palace, Su Heng's true body began searching for other immortals at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

"Marquis Shi Ye, how about it? As long as you occasionally guide my disciple over the next ten years, I can give you one million Primal Chaos Units."

At the foot of Thunder Island, Su Heng smiled as he spoke to the Werewolf Clan immortal before him.

Of the Ten Great Original Laws, he was most proficient in the laws of wood and space. He had only dabbled in the other eight Source Laws from time to time.

As for the law of time, he had not even gained the law's acknowledgment yet!

For the sake of Luo Feng and the other two, he had specifically sought out several immortals whose laws suited their cultivation during this period.

Marquis Shi Ye before him was one of them. The other party was a peak Marquis-level immortal who cultivated the laws of light and time!

"Ten years?" King Shi Ye was tempted. Even for a peak Marquis-level immortal, it was difficult to earn one million Primal Chaos Units within ten years.

What was more, if he accepted, he could also gain the friendship of this king-level powerhouse before him!

"Alright. Over the next ten years, Annihilation King may bring his disciple to the Virtual Universe for my guidance at any time!"

In the end, King Shi Ye agreed. He would merely be guiding a Star-level junior's comprehension of laws; it did not involve his core inheritance at all!

"Haha, good. Come, drink!" Seeing Marquis Shi Ye agree, Su Heng smiled as well. He raised his wine cup toward Marquis Shi Ye.

"Good!" Marquis Shi Ye beamed. Compared to other king-level powerhouses, this young Annihilation King was far more approachable.

Time passed, and two months quickly went by. It was now April 12, 2059, on the China Calendar.

Only seven short years remained until the Universe Peak Genius Battle in 2066!

Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Capital Star.

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng stood respectfully within a grand hall.

"Have you taken care of everything?" From one side of the hall, Su Heng looked at the three and asked.

"It has all been handled." As the eldest among the three, Hong answered softly.

The spacecraft Su Heng had lent them was extremely advanced. Although this place was very far from Earth, the journey only took half a month.

Moreover, they had brought Virtual Universe helmets back to Earth. If anything important happened in the future, they could contact each other through the Virtual Universe.

"Good. It's good that everything has been handled." Su Heng nodded slightly, then looked at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, have you decided to take possession?"

"Yes, I've decided!" Luo Feng nodded with a complicated expression, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Originally, he had not fully decided to abandon his body. However, after receiving news of Xu Xin's pregnancy over the past two months, he had followed Babata's choice. (This was not the timing in the original work, but because of the protagonist, after the future Luo City Lord faced a crisis, he vented for a while longer, haha.)

In this universe, as a father, one still needed great strength to protect one's child!

"Since you've decided, go do it. You'll also need time to adapt after taking possession." Su Heng smiled in satisfaction.

Luo Feng had still returned to the original path.

Since Luo Feng had decided to take possession of the Golden Horned Beast, Su Heng only needed to teach Hong and Lei Shen.

Bang.

A heavy collision rang out from within a massive training hall.

"Hong, your comprehension and temperament are both strong, and you remain very calm in battle. But your use of your domain is far too crude. This is how light should be used—"

Looking at Hong, who had fallen to the ground, Su Heng offered guidance.

Although he was not a light immortal, with his current realm, guiding a planetary-level warrior was naturally more than easy enough.

"Yes, Teacher!" Hong also understood his own shortcomings.

However, this was not Hong's own fault. The inheritances Earth had received were simply too incomplete. The fact that he had managed to cultivate a domain at all was due to his extraordinary talent!

After speaking, Hong continued charging toward the sparring opponent before him.

This was a trial Su Heng had specially arranged for him. His opponent was not particularly strong, merely a third-stage Star-level warrior.

Hong was now at the ninth stage of the planetary level. If he used his domain well, defeating his opponent would not be difficult!

On the other side, Lei Shen was also sparring with a Star-level warrior.

Su Heng observed both of their weaknesses and occasionally spoke up to guide them.

Time always passed quickly during cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, it was January 1, 2060.

Through their frequent sparring matches, along with the special equipment and resources Su Heng provided, both Hong and Lei Shen had broken through to become third-stage Star-level warriors, their foundations incomparably solid!

On this day.

Su Heng specially arranged for Lei Shen to face a warrior of the same level who possessed a lightning domain!

"Lei Shen, Luo Feng is nurturing an Earth body, and Hong is also about to step across the threshold of the laws. If you don't want to fall too far behind them, defeat the person before you!"

Su Heng transmitted these words to Lei Shen.

He had provided them both with plenty of bloodline evolution agents and treasures that aided law comprehension. If Lei Shen still did not make significant progress under such conditions, then Su Heng could only throw him into true life-and-death training!

He had accepted the three as disciples so that they could grow strong enough in the future to repay him, not so that he could simply support them!

Lei Shen's gaze sharpened. He had seen all of Hong's progress. After receiving those precious resources and an immortal's guidance, Hong's domain had now reached the fifth level, and he had even faintly sensed the threshold of the law of light.

But what about himself? He had not even comprehended a domain yet!

Luo Feng had taken possession of the Golden Horned Beast. Though he had not comprehended a domain either at present, what about before long?

Among the three, he would very likely be at the bottom!

Being at the bottom was not frightening, but Lei Shen did not want to lag too far behind the other two!

Lightning Seven Kill! Lei Shen roared. The long blade in his hand immediately erupted with thunderous rumbling as his figure charged toward his opponent.

Only after coming to the universe did Lei Shen realize how narrow his horizons had been back on Earth.

Ninefold Thunderblade only provided sevenfold force, yet in the universe, even a random secret technique could provide dozens of times the force. Slightly more advanced ones provided a hundredfold!

Lightning Seven Kill was one of the top-tier immortal-level secret techniques Lei Shen was currently cultivating!

Buzz!

Seeing Lei Shen charge toward him, the domain genius opposite him tensed. A domain brimming with lightning spread forth from his body.

Crackle!

Once a domain appeared, only another domain or a higher law could contend against it!

Lei Shen's expression remained unchanged. He even spared some attention to observe the other party's domain.

The domain was incomplete. He had probably only just comprehended it, and it was far inferior to Big Brother's domain!

After competing against Hong for decades, Lei Shen was extremely familiar with domains. Thus, in a single instant, he identified a flaw!
