Turning the Tables

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean," Xu Qing immediately pretended to be clueless.

Luo Feng didn't expose him. "This trial of recognizing a master will last a very long time, at least three thousand years or more, maybe even more. It might be fine at the beginning, but later on, I might not have time to concentrate."

"At that time, things at home will depend on you. Don't tell Xu Xin and the others, so they won't worry. Anyway, my Golden Horned Behemoth True Body is with you, so you can keep track of my situation."

"So long?" Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, so this test is extremely difficult because it tests one's will. It's all or nothing," Luo Feng said, becoming more serious.

"Brother-in-law, I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too. We came from Earth and have been triumphant all the way. There is no obstacle we cannot overcome. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future," Xu Qing said earnestly.

"Haha, you're right, it will always be like this, so I'm sure I can pass this test. Just wait for my success," Luo Feng laughed.

With so many people he loves and who love him behind him, what has he to fear?

No matter how difficult the test, he will overcome it, smooth it out, and defeat it. He, Luo Feng, will surely become an invincible being in the universe.

"That's how it should be, brother-in-law. I'll wait for you to succeed. Don't worry about things at home, I'll take care of things," Xu Qing patted his chest.

"Yes, I have never doubted that," Luo Feng smiled slightly. Xu Qing had always been someone he could rely on.

After ending his conversation with Luo Feng, Xu Qing's consciousness returned to reality, and he couldn't help but sigh, "From now on, there's no one to play with me anymore."

According to Luo Feng, it would take at least four thousand years, or even longer, possibly five or six thousand years.

In reality, they have only been cultivating for a little over a thousand years.

It's really hard to get used to not seeing each other for thousands of years at once.

"Forget it, I'll stay in the Outer-Region Battlefield for a while longer, then go to the Ancestral God Sect. I'll skip the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters for now, to avoid being conscripted," Xu Qing thought.

Now that he has broken through to the Immortal Level, after returning to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters for certification, he will definitely be recruited as a follower by those Venerable.

He had no desire to be someone else's lackey, so he decided not to return to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters or undergo any level certification.

Anyway, World Lord live a long time, so spending tens of thousands of years in the Outer-Region Battlefield is nothing.

From then on, he would act as Rainbow King's Clone, working alongside Xiao Cai.

As for Xu Qing, he can continue to train in the Outer-Region Battlefield as a World Lord. That's how all World Lord are, and no one cares what he's actually doing in the Outer-Region Battlefield.

Then, Xu Qing sorted through all the spoils of war.

"Tsk tsk, I'm richer than Universe Venerable now, with plenty of treasures and top-grade materials. Looks like I can start thinking about crafting a battle suit. A suitable battle suit is definitely necessary."

"The Dragon God Armor will definitely be phased out once it reaches the level of Universe Venerable. Those Universe Master all possess a bunch of Supreme Treasure that are even more powerful than heavy treasures. Even if the weapon I forge has great potential for growth, it can only be comparable to a heavy treasure at most. It still needs time to grow, which means I still need to continue to forge precious treasures into it," Xu Qing pondered.

It must be admitted that treasures have a significant impact on combat power.

Otherwise, why would those King Level Immortal fight to the death for a precious treasure, and why would Universe Venerable fight to the death for an ordinary Supreme Treasure?

This is because these treasures greatly enhance one's combat power.

"The Ancestral God Sect has many treasures. I want to seize this opportunity and get as many as possible. If I can't get the readily available Supreme Treasure, I'll get the top-grade materials and take them all," Xu Qing decided.

Since he intends to go to the Ancestral God Sect, Xu Qing certainly won't stay in the Outer-Region Battlefield for too long.

Xu Qing planned to enjoy his time on the Outer-Region Battlefield for about ten more years before leaving and heading to the secret realm where the Ancestral God Sect was located.

"Xiao Cai, go and wreak havoc on those King Level Immortal. The Ghost King, who has been silent for so long, should make some noise soon," Xu Qing chuckled sinisterly.

From that day on, a cold wind known as the Ghost King swept across the Yanji Continent.

Every day, King Level Immortal are ambushed and killed from millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of miles away, without any warning.

No one knows how the Ghost King locked onto his target, or how he found the precise location of others. All that is known is that the Ghost King's arrows are deadly; even a powerful expert at the King Level Limit would find it difficult to escape death.

"Damn it, I didn't expect to see someone even more monstrous than Rainbow King. He's practically a terrorist, creating panic everywhere." Several months have passed, and all the Immortal are trembling with fear, even the King Level Immortal are no exception.

There is no safe place on the entire Yanji Continent; it is all within the attack range of that Ghost King.

"That Rainbow King is a pervert who's been provoked. He's always picking on other people, kicking one today and punching another tomorrow. He even says that other people are ugly and strutting around, sullying his eyes. It's outrageous!"

"There's nothing we can do. They're at the Invincible King Level Immortal. Even those at the King Level Limit Realm have to give them a wide berth. Anyone who doesn't move fast enough will suffer. Having their World Ring stolen is the least of their worries; if they resist, they'll be killed on the spot."

On the Yanji Continent, many Immortal voiced their grievances, all directed at the Rainbow King and that Ghost King.

"We can't go on like this. Let's find an opportunity to join forces and kill the Rainbow King. We can't do anything about the Ghost King; we can't even see him. But we still have hope for the Rainbow King, and his Clone isn't here either. This is a good opportunity."

"But how do we convince others that their legs tremble at the mere mention of the Rainbow King Rainbow King, and they would still dare to lay a hand on him?"

"Let's do our best. Nobody wants to be bullied by that freak Rainbow King anymore. Let's all attack together! So what if Rainbow King is Invincible King Level Immortal? We'll still kill him!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

And so, those Immortal secretly joined forces to set a trap for the Rainbow King and kill him.

However, Xu Qing saw everything they did.

"Tsk tsk, these stupid cows have even managed to secretly band together. They've gotten quite bold. Looks like the lesson wasn't enough. Watch how your uncle will play you to death," Xu Qing loved seeing them rebel.

They resisted, and Xu Qing was excited.

On this day, a Monster Race King Level Immortal named Golden Eagle King deliberately bumped into Xiao Cai, thus beginning the first step of his plan.

"Rainbow King!" Upon seeing Xiao Cai, the Golden Eagle King looked frightened and turned to run away.

According to their understanding, once they run away, the Rainbow King will excitedly chase after them and toy with their prey.

Sure enough, Xiao Cai immediately chased after it, "Little yellow bird, why are you running? Is Uncle that scary? Stop, Uncle will give you candy."

Golden Eagle King almost cursed, but he held back and continued to feign fear, "Rainbow King, please stop chasing me and let me go."

"No, you're already here, you have to leave something behind. Hand over your World Ring, and Uncle will let you go," Xiao Cai said slowly as she followed him.

"Absolutely impossible," Golden Eagle King replied, and fled frantically.

And so, the two chased and fled until they arrived at a deep, secluded canyon.

Golden Eagle King seemed to be in a panic, rushing into the depths of the canyon as if he wanted to shake off Xiao Cai as soon as possible.

In fact, at the deepest part of the canyon is an underground cave space with only one entrance and exit.

More than two thousand Immortal have already laid an ambush below, including eight hundred Immortal Army Lord, one thousand one hundred Marquis Level Immortal, and more than three hundred King Level Immortal.

This huge group of Immortal gathered together with the sole purpose of killing the Rainbow King.

The Golden Eagle King is the bait, responsible for luring the Rainbow King in, and then everyone swarms in and turns the Rainbow King into dust.

If Rainbow King goes in with him, there's absolutely no escape; he'll surely die.

"Here he comes! The Golden Eagle King is here! Everyone, get ready! The moment the Rainbow King appears, unleash the Space Lockdown, then attack with all your might and send him to hell!" The leader, an King Level Immortal, had a ferocious expression.

Everyone looked indignant; only by killing the Rainbow King could they find peace.

Otherwise, as long as the Rainbow King is around, they will have to worry every day about running into him on the road and being forced to hand over their World Ring and all their possessions.

This is something no one wants, so they have to kill Rainbow King.

Outside, Xiao Cai chased the Golden Eagle King to the top of the canyon.

"Trying to catch a turtle in a jar, huh? Let's see who's the turtle in the jar. You think you can outsmart your uncle? You're millions of years too early," Xiao Cai said with a cold sneer.

Then, Xiao Cai stretched out her hand, and a star appeared in her palm—the very same sealed star.

This sealed star has been imprinted with Law Secret Patterns by Xu Qing, enhancing its power.

"So many people have gathered here to die, you're really making things easier for your uncle. Well then, I'll reward you with a little star," Xiao Cai said as she reached the top of the canyon exit, released her grip, and the Sealing Star in her hand plummeted straight down.

At the bottom of the canyon, the Golden Eagle King had already reunited with the others.

"Golden Eagle King, has Rainbow King caught up yet?" everyone asked.

"They're coming, everyone get ready," the Golden Eagle King said with absolute certainty, having confirmed all along that the Rainbow King had been following them.

Upon hearing what the Golden Eagle King said, everyone began to gather their strength.

At that moment, a sparkling bead fell from above and floated in mid-air.

"What fell down?" Everyone looked over, curious.

The next second, the glittering bead in their eyes began to expand violently, quickly filling half of the underground space.

"What is that? A star? Why does it look so familiar?" An King Level Immortal frowned, staring at the Sealing Star. He felt like he had seen this thing somewhere before.

Suddenly, the Sealing Star began to rotate, and a terrifying sealing power spread out, instantly covering the entire underground space.

"I can't move!"

"Me too, what's going on?"

"Oh no, this is... this is the Sealing Star, the Sealing Star that emerged from the Star Tower last time!" the King Level Immortal cried out, his face filled with terror.

This Sealing Star is a top-tier treasure; it can even seal away Universe Venerable, let alone Immortal like them.

Rumble!

The rotating Sealing Star generated a terrifying suction force, pulling everyone in the underground space in like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"No..."

Everyone watched helplessly as they were sucked in, with no way to escape.

Golden Eagle King suddenly realized something, "Damn it! We've all been tricked! Rainbow King got that Sealing Star!"

Everyone was shocked to hear the Golden Eagle King shout. It turned out that it wasn't a lie made up by the Rainbow King, but the truth. However, everyone thought that the Rainbow King was just saying it to save face.

This is a classic case of being too clever for one's own good; the Rainbow King has everyone completely manipulated.

"What should we do? How can we get out?" The Marquis Level Immortal were all terrified.

"Forget it. Unless they release us willingly, we have absolutely no chance of getting out," the King Level Immortal, their faces ashen.

They thought they were scheming against others, but in reality, they were the ones being schemed against.

"Oh my, aren't these my lovely bulls? Why are they all locked up? Did they misbehave and are they going to be locked up and starved by their owner?" a smug voice rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw Rainbow King's unpleasant figure.

"Rainbow King, you... you are utterly despicable and shameless!" the Golden Eagle King roared.

Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them calmly. "Anything else?"

"What?" Golden Eagle King was taken aback.

"Yes, I am despicable and shameless, but you're understating it. You should say I have great wisdom. If I weren't smart enough, how could I have outmaneuvered you bullfighting bulls like this, right?" Xu Qing laughed.

"You..." Golden Eagle King and the others were furious; this man's skin was thicker than that of the Yanji Continent.

Xu Qing circled around them, looking at them like they were monkeys, "Tsk tsk, so many fighting bulls, am I going to make a small fortune again?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Rainbow King, we are willing to hand over the World Ring and spare our lives," some of the King Level Immortal said.

Xu Qing glanced at them sideways. "My favorite thing to do is say no to others."

Upon hearing this, they turned red with anger.

"Besides, you've all seen my precious treasure, how could I possibly let you go? So, you'd better line up obediently and go to heaven," Xu Qing said with a smile, but his words were chilling.

After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

Rumble!

The energy within the Sealing Star began to surge, the Law Secret Patterns on its surface glowed, and divine beasts appeared one after another, as if Beast God had descended to earth, and began to ravage these people.

"Ah..."

Screams rose and fell as one Immortal after another perished, their divine bodies annihilated into nothingness.

"Rainbow King, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" the Golden Eagle King shouted with all his might.

"Okay, okay, I've received your last words. Rest in peace," Xu Qing waved his hand.

In a short while, not a single person could be seen inside the Sealing Star, and more than two thousand World Ring floated there.

"Not bad, not bad, you really have to team up to make money," Xu Qing said, putting away the World Ring.

Afterwards, the Sealing Star shrank and returned to Xu Qing's hand, and he leisurely left the place.
