Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System-Chapter 152: Qinguxan Realm Geniuses Join Forces!

Hehe.

Katus smiled, "No, no, no, the Alliance are businessmen, they won’t take sides. I can only say that All Stars Finance is one of the shareholders of the Laya Alliance."

Tsk.

Only a ghost would believe such talk.

All Stars Finance had always favored investment, and indeed held shares in many forces across the Qingxuan Realm.

"With the Transcendent Factions stepping in, we are nothing but puppets."

"No..."

"Perhaps not even puppets, merely tools. And not even very useful ones."

What was originally agreed to be seven days had vanished in an instant.

The moment the True Dragon appeared, the Secret Realm was sealed without hesitation, and the genius of the great factions were dispatched to enter and surround it.

Saint Son Lor clenched his fist, his teeth grinding softly.

"I’m not reconciled!"

"The Thunder Dragon is powerful, yes, but I refuse to believe that the genius of our Qingxuan Realm are truly inferior to those Transcendent Factions!"

If the Transcendent Factions had sent true experts to encircle the area, he could still accept it in his heart.

After all, that would be powerful figures taking action.

But now, everyone was at the Galaxy Level.

All were geniuses.

Then why was it that the geniuses of the Transcendent Factions could enter and resolve everything, while the geniuses of the Qingxuan Realm were deemed unqualified?

"Oh~"

Katus raised an eyebrow, a trace of meaning hidden in his gaze.

"Are you saying... you still have ideas about that Thunder Dragon?"

Under normal circumstances, no one would even dare to think such a thing.

Bei Lun had been killed instantly. Their strengths were all on the same level, victory or defeat could be decided, but life and death should never have been so easily determined.

"A scattered force will definitely not work."

Saint Son Lor’s gaze gradually steadied, his expression hardening.

"We can lose, but we must fight for our pride."

"I’m not trying to tell those Transcendent Factions one thing, the geniuses of the Qingxuan Realm are also geniuses!"

Hiss!

Katus secretly sucked in a breath of cold air.

"The order I received was to keep watch over the Thunder Dragon and clear the surrounding area to the greatest extent possible."

Clear the area?

Hahaha.

Saint Son Lor let out a cold laugh.

"That’s exactly what the Transcendent Factions want."

"They’re afraid too, afraid we might unite."

Katus fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.

"It won’t be easy..."

Although Katus had never personally encountered the geniuses of the Transcendent Factions, he knew one thing, their resources were absolutely incomparable to those of the Qingxuan Realm.

Strong?

They were certainly strong.

But to say that even if the entire Qingxuan Realm united, it would still be inferior, that was something he simply could not accept it in his heart.

Genius?

Who wasn’t a genius?

Katus himself has risen from a remote, insignificant planet. Step by step, he had slaughtered countless geniuses, even killing enemies whose realm surpassed his own.

Only after stepping into the Universe did he sweep through waves of star pirates earning fame and fear alike.

It was then that Laya Alliance discovered him, recruiting him, nurturing him, and raising his as a top tier genius.

For many years, he had been known as Genius Martial Artist in everyone’s mouth.

Luo Xiaoxiao was stronger than him only because Mentalists possessed a natural advantage when facing Monster Beasts.

As for Qidala Prince, even with endless wealth, countless trump cards, and advanced cyber technology, Katus had never regarded his as an equal.

Among those of the same realm, he had never believed that he would lose.

But now...

A group of outsiders suddenly descended from above, treating his as nothing more than support, or perhaps not even worthy of that.

All he was allowed to do was guard the perimeter.

Like a grunt.

Like insignificant cannon fodder.

Who could endure such humiliation?

"Good!"

Katus suddenly roared, his voice shaking the air.

"Then today, let us fight for the honor of the geniuses of the Qingxuan Realm!"

"Even if we cannot capture this Thunder Dragon, we must at least trap it!"

The two Geniuses Martial Artists from Luol Temple and the Laya Alliance immediately reached a tacit cooperation.

The Qidala Empire, whose prince had fallen, naturally would not miss such a chance for revenge.

Soon after, the Jiuxuan Empire and experts from other forces hurried over, joining the encirclement one after another.

"What about the Star Luo Sect?"

"If Luo Xiaoxiao’s group of Mentalists join, their suppression against the Thunder Dragon would be extremely effective."

Although Martial Artists and Mentalists were naturally at odds, when facing a million meter long Giant Dragon, having a few more powerful Mentalist allies would undoubtedly ease the pressure.

Katus swept his gaze across the surrounding, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

He had not seen a single person from the Star Luo Sect within Spirit Spring Valley.

Saint Son Lor shook his head.

"The people from Qidala said they encountered them earlier. A battle broke out, and they forced Star Luo Sect’s group into the Ice Spring."

"I’m not familiar with her," he continued. "You go contact them. I’ll arrange the formation."

"Time is running out. The geniuses of the Transcendent Factions move fast, they’ll arrive soon."

Katus nodded heavily.

Luol Temple specialized in the Light Element and was naturally adopt at joint formations...

----

Above the Spirit Spring Valley.

Qin Mu had not left yet.

Instead, he was frantically absorbing the Ice Spring’s energy to cultivate.

At this moment,

Dozens of towering waterspouts surged from the surface of the Icy lake, rushing straight into the sky.

They spiraled and twisted, interwining with one another.

Within them, the Thunder Dragon’s million meter body moved freely, as if swimming through heaven and earth itself.

Devouring.

The spring water near the Ice Heart was far too concentrated. Now, it was being diluted with ordinary spring water, allowing it to be refined at high speed.

The sword Mountain assessment required at Galaxy Peak at minimum.

And more importantly, it required Mental Cultivation.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was a Mentalist sect. Naturally, all of its trials were designed for mentalists.

In the Sword Mountain trial, the Thunder Dragon’s enormous body held no advantage.

Beep Beep!

Luo Xiaoxiao’s communicator suddenly rang.

"Katus?"

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiaoxiao finally answered the call.

"A joint encirclement? A campaign against the Thunder Dragon?"

Ah.. this..

Luo Xiaoxiao was almost stunned, momentarily unsure how to respond.

"I... I’ll think about it.."

"Alright, alright, I understand. I won’t miss the decisive battle two hours from now."

She quickly ended the communication.

Turning abound, Luo Xiaoxiao spoke with a trace of embarrassment.

"Senior... it seems the geniuses of the major forces in Qingxuan Realm want to unite and encircle you..."

"Hmmm?"

Qin Mu had originally planned to finish cultivation and then deal with the ants below.

He hadn’t expected.

They would actually take the initiative.

What was going on?

Did they really think he was some kind of boss monster? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ao Mengmeng spread her hand helplessly.

"No choice. That’s just how it is when you’re a Dragon."

Cosmic True Dragon’s, once they appeared, were destined to face all kinds of encirclements.

This was the price of being a Dragon, and also the Trial of a True Dragon.

"When this Empress traveled the Universe back then, I went through countless large and small encirclement battles.."

Ao Mengmeng began rambling proudly about her glorious past.

Qin Mu, however had no interest in listening to her Dragon boasting.

The fact that the forces of the Qingxuan Realm chose to contact Luo Xiaoxiao proved one thing...

The Star Luo Sect had not been exposed.

This point can be used.

To establish oneself in the Universe, influence was essential.

And Star Luo Sect, with its decent standing within the Qingxuan Realm, would naturally be the best choice if there was a chance to absorb it.

Qin Mu’s gaze fell on Luo Xiaoxiao.

"Since your identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect hasn’t been revealed.."

"Then keep it hidden."

"Go."

"Lead your team and join the encirclement force."

"Senior!?"

Luo Xiaoxiao didn’t expect to receive such an order, and immediately frowned.

"Junior believes that Legacy of the Heavenly Sword Sect is more important now."

"While those Transcendent Factions haven’t entered yet, I still have a token bestowed by the Ancestral Master, which can open a trial gate from within to leave."

"Most of the planets with trial gates have declined, so we have a high probability of escaping the sight of the Transcendent Factions and getting away directly."

"Hmph!" Thunder Dragon coldly rebuked, "Are you teaching this old man how to do things!?"

"Uh.. Junior wouldn’t dare~" Luo Xiaoxiao was startled, then bowed respectfully.

Exit.

If Qin Mu really wanted to leave, either way was fine, but the Secret Realm must be taken!

"Go, and listen to this old man’s command when the time comes."

"Yes!"
