Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 23 Return
The Ukra Monarch received detailed intelligence from the Mo You Monarch and was very clear that in the past three years, this mysterious human expert had clashed with the Prison Clan source lifeforms many times! Against the Prison Clan ninth-order, this mysterious expert killed them easily.
When encountering a Prison Clan tenth-order? This mysterious expert would not hesitate to flee! In terms of spacetime shuttle, the Prison Clan tenth-order could not catch up.
"Ukra Monarch, you must trap him at the first moment and finally capture him alive," the Mo You Monarch had emphasized.
The Ukra Monarch was fully prepared.
So, seeing Xu Jingming appear in the starry sky 0.18 light-years away, the Ukra Monarch had already taken action.
…
As soon as Xu Jingming appeared, he felt the surrounding spacetime turn into a cage!
The twisted cage, about ten thousand kilometers in diameter, completely isolated Xu Jingming from the outside world.
"It is a Prison Clan tenth-order," Xu Jingming immediately understood, "and even more powerful than the Prison Clan tenth-order I encountered before."
Attacking from a long distance is a basic trick for tenth-order source lifeforms! Their manipulation of spacetime has reached a very high level, and it is very common to flatten a planet from half a light-year away.
Although separated by 0.18 light-years, many of the Ukra Monarch's moves had already arrived.
This is also why Xu Jingming fled when he encountered a tenth-order before. It was really impossible to touch the other party, but the other party could attack from a very long distance.
"Tenth-order, I can't fight it, go!" Xu Jingming immediately wanted to shuttle through spacetime and leave.
But suddenly, the spacetime cage instantly froze, freezing spacetime and Xu Jingming himself, making him motionless like a statue.
At the same time as the freezing, more tentacle phantoms penetrated into Xu Jingming's body.
Xu Jingming remained motionless!
Like a sculpture, without any thoughts!
"Humph."
On the planet, the Ukra Monarch looked up at this scene from afar. With the help of the 'tentacle' in his body, his consciousness completely enveloped the location where Xu Jingming was. The high-dimensional power contained in the tentacle completely invaded!
The spacetime cage is an appearance. Inside the cage, in fact, it is a high-dimensional power intrusion.
Completely freeze, and even invade the mind and consciousness.
…
"Detected high-dimensional power intrusion…"
"Master has lost consciousness."
"Activate the alternate plan—Return!"
Xu Jingming, who was motionless like a sculpture, suddenly burst out with colorful streamers on the surface of his body.
Hua!
The colorful streamers wrapped Xu Jingming and instantly jumped out of the entire spacetime cage, disappearing from the Ukra Monarch's detection range.
"What?"
The Ukra Monarch teleported and arrived next to the spacetime cage just now. He carefully probed the surrounding dozens of light-years in disbelief, probing again and again, but he could not detect any spacetime traces of the 'colorful streamer' escaping.
"Able to escape even under the intrusion of my power?" The Ukra Monarch could not believe it. "How is this possible?"
"Spacetime was completely frozen, I didn't feel him forcibly shuttling through spacetime. It felt more like he was detached from the entire spacetime? Did he leave through the 'high-dimensional channel' in an instant?" After all, the Ukra Monarch was very good at this aspect, and vaguely speculated the truth of Xu Jingming's escape.
"Detached from this spacetime and entered a higher-dimensional channel? How to stop it? Unless the Supreme existences take action," the Ukra Monarch thought.
Supreme Realm existences are high-dimensional lifeforms.
The 'high-dimensional channel', which is very mysterious to these source lifeforms, is a normal road to walk in front of high-dimensional lifeforms, and naturally, they can easily block it.
"We can't see or perceive the high-dimensional channel, let alone intercept it," the Ukra Monarch shook his head. "With such a powerful escape method, unless you grab him at close range, he can escape at any opportunity."
"This time, he was frightened."
"Then… he will slip away immediately if anything goes wrong."
The Ukra Monarch was very sure that he could not catch this Dark Shooter at all, and immediately sent a 'retreat signal' to notify his team members.
Since he couldn't catch him, he didn't want to waste time here.
******
The Yuan Chu Research Institute headquarters, on the planet, is still the mountain depths that hide countless types of 'Yuan Chu battle armor'.
In the location where Xu Jingming once received the 'No. 9 Yuan Chu battle armor'.
"Hua."
A ball of colorful streamers directly descended on this position. The colorful light converged, revealing Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming floated there, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.
"What's going on?" Secretary-General Hei Tian appeared beside him, frowning as he looked at Xu Jingming in his current state.
"Master encountered the Prison Clan's Ukra Monarch and was invaded by high-dimensional power. Although I resisted most of it and rushed back as soon as possible, that high-dimensional power still affected Master," Xiao Jiu's voice echoed around.
Secretary-General Hei Tian nodded slightly.
All the Yuan Chu battle armors are under his management, including the numbered battle armors.
"Chi chi chi."
Secretary-General Hei Tian stretched out his right hand, and a gray gas was stripped from Xu Jingming's body.
Secretary-General Hei Tian is a 'high-dimensional lifeform' after all, and even if he can only use a carrier, it is still easy to strip this trace of residual aura.
"This…"
Only then did Xu Jingming regain consciousness, wake up, and look around.
"This is where I obtained the Yuan Chu battle armor," Xu Jingming looked at the 'liquid droplets' of different colors floating in the mountain belly, "I was clearly in the Tianmang Cosmic Domain before, but now I have returned to the Yuan Chu Research Institute headquarters."
"Secretary-General Hei Tian," Xu Jingming also saw this senior and immediately saluted.
"It was Secretary-General Hei Tian who helped expel a trace of high-dimensional power residue from Master's body," Xiao Jiu explained.
"High-dimensional power residue?" Xu Jingming was shocked.
Secretary-General Hei Tian nodded: "This is also why I didn't let you go to the forefront of the battle. At the forefront… it is easier to encounter those experts who have fused with 'high-dimensional space treasures'. It is still too dangerous for you."
"Although Xiao Jiu can perform 'Return' and bring you back to the Yuan Chu Research Institute," Secretary-General Hei Tian said, "but if you are caught, and Xiao Jiu is also caught. Then there is no way to come back."
"I understand," Xu Jingming nodded.
He also knew that the strongest trick for escaping from the No. 9 Yuan Chu battle armor is Return!
"I recognized that Prison Clan Monarch, it is the Ukra Monarch," Xu Jingming said, "ranked 19th among the thousands of Prison Clan Monarchs. The power he used, I can't defend against it at all."
"You need to improve your strength. The stronger you are, the more powerful Xiao Jiu can exert," Secretary-General Hei Tian said, "Also, mental power must also be improved. The stronger your mind, and with Xiao Jiu's obstruction… you won't be defenseless."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Yes.
When that tentacle shadow descended, he lost consciousness.
"I feel very uncomfortable now," Xu Jingming said, "There is a tentacle monster in my consciousness, popping up all the time."
"These are just some aftereffects," Secretary-General Hei Tian said, "I can be sure that I have stripped away that trace of residual power. You just need to stabilize your state of mind, and you will slowly get rid of its influence."
Xu Jingming understood.
"Observing the Yuan Chu Star more will help. It is estimated that after a few years, there will be no influence at all," Secretary-General Hei Tian said, "Okay, you should go back quickly."
"Yes."
Xu Jingming immediately used the Yuan Chu Research Institute's teleportation and soon returned to the Ansu Star Alliance in the Tianmang Cosmic Domain.
…
Prison Clan territory, in the Mo You Monarch's palace.
"Mo You Monarch." The Ukra Monarch, wrapped in robes, stood under the main hall. Only the two of them were in the entire hall.
"Failed?" The Mo You Monarch couldn't believe it.
The Ukra Monarch nodded: "Yes, I personally took action. As soon as he appeared, I froze spacetime, and I could even determine that he had lost consciousness at that time! But a mysterious colorful force wrapped him and still escaped. He directly detached from this universe spacetime. I couldn't detect it at all, and I couldn't see any traces of his 'spacetime shuttle'. I can only guess… he probably went along the high-dimensional space channel."
"Along the high-dimensional space channel?" The Mo You Monarch was a little confused.
"Even if I kill him from a distance! That mysterious force will wrap him and escape. The Supreme existences on the Cosmic Human side will also revive him," the Ukra Monarch shook his head, "Unless I grab him in an instant, he can escape."
"I can't think of a way to catch him, so, I'm back," the Ukra Monarch said.
The Mo You Monarch was troubled.
Such a way of escape gave him a headache.
"Then I'll go back first," the Ukra Monarch said.
"Ukra Monarch," the Mo You Monarch said, "In another 59 years, the Qiya Monarch will return from the front line to replace me, and I will go to the front line to fight the human race. At that time, you will also be managed by the 'Qiya Monarch', be careful."
The Ukra Monarch frowned slightly.
With his old friend Mo You Monarch here, he could practice in peace, but the Qiya Monarch's methods were much crueler.
"Hmm." The Ukra Monarch nodded and turned to leave.
The Mo You Monarch sat on the throne, frowning slightly: "Another big trouble that can't be solved."
The Cosmic Human race has some terrifying powerhouses that trouble the Prison Clan! But most of them are fighting against the Void God race.
Very few fight against the Prison Clan.
…
Ji Water Star.
Xu Jingming sat in the open air, drinking wine. He didn't study knowledge, but completely emptied his mind.
Looking up at the sky, he felt a huge eye staring at him, and that oppressive feeling affected him all the time.
"Secretary-General Hei Tian said that he has completely expelled the trace of invading power in my body. Now it's just an aftereffect," Xu Jingming comforted himself.
He could only be unaffected when he was cultivating the visualization method, visualizing the Yuan Chu Star.
But visualizing for a long time would only make his mind more tired, and the aftereffects would only be greater after stopping at the limit of fatigue.
"Take it slow, it will be fine after a long time." Xu Jingming received a message from his daughter and immediately entered the virtual world network with a thought.
On the top of the mountain, it was still the old place.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were waiting here. After seeing Xu Jingming appear, the mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, it's been three days since you took the task, and you haven't contacted us," Xu Lixing said, "Mom and I were a little worried, and I couldn't help but send you a message."
"I was delayed by some things," Xu Jingming smiled.
"Is the task going well?"
Li Miaomiao asked.
"I encountered some trouble, but it has been resolved," Xu Jingming smiled, "Didn't I tell you? As long as you make enough contributions, even if the source lifeform dies in battle, it will be resurrected by the Supreme existence, so I am still very safe."
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded.
"Is there any good performance today?" Xu Jingming asked. Although his consciousness was showing some effects, he suppressed them. Facing his wife and daughter, he maintained everything as usual.
"There is a very grand performance, let's go, I'll take you there," Xu Lixing immediately pulled her dad and mom to another virtual world.
…
Xu Jingming gradually got rid of the influence of high-dimensional power, and his life was as usual.
The main thing was studying and visualizing, as well as performing the task of intercepting the Prison Clan's source lifeforms again and again. At the same time, he also paid attention to the growth of his hometown civilization and the situation of his family.
In such days, Xu Jingming was slowly improving in all aspects. His knowledge, mental power, and the use of the No. 9 Yuan Chu battle armor were all improving.
Because the interception efficiency was too high, the 'looting' frequency in the area he was responsible for was greatly reduced, so the Yuan Chu Research Institute also frequently changed the location where Xu Jingming was stationed, changing places every few years.
But they all avoided the front line!
Obviously, they didn't want Xu Jingming to come into contact with some of the most terrifying existences in the Prison Clan.
Such days passed unknowingly, and eighty-nine years passed.
