Chapter 14 He Should Possess a Terrible Treasure

"He fought us, his aura fully erupted, clearly at the ninth level, impossible to be at the tenth!" The lean Prison Clan Origin Life rapidly thought in his mind, "But his bizarre move just now was definitely not something a ninth level could do, so he must...possess a terrifying treasure!"

He quickly deduced the most likely possibility. The lean Prison Clan Origin Life glanced at Xu Jingming. Without hesitation, *whoosh!* Silently, he had already teleported half a light-year away.

This was the limit of his teleportation distance.

If he used a cosmic spacecraft to warp through wormholes, the distance would naturally be much greater, but that required starting the spacecraft, which took some time. In a life-or-death situation, there was no time to pilot a spacecraft.

"I must return to the team as soon as possible and report the news to the captain." The lean Prison Clan Origin Life had just teleported half a light-year when he was already planning his next steps in his mind, but then he discovered—

Xu Jingming had also appeared beside him, looking at him.

"What? His teleportation distance can also be so far?" The lean Prison Clan Origin Life felt a chill in his heart.

Before, when Xu Jingming fled in terror, prompting three Prison Clan Origin Lifes to pursue him, Xu Jingming's teleportation distance was very ordinary, at the standard level of a ninth-level human Origin Life.

Because of their evolution methods, every Prison Clan Origin Life was skilled in teleportation, giving them an advantage over the human race in general.

"You can't escape." Xu Jingming held his spear. *Boom!*

Light erupted from Xu Jingming's center, his whole body radiating brilliance, as dazzling as the sun. Under the impact of the terrifying energy, the Prison Clan within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers could not teleport.

"He concealed too much of his strength before." The lean Prison Clan Origin Life felt increasingly colder as he sensed the terrifying energy impact.

"Hmph."

Xu Jingming, like a man of light, flashed and was already close, wielding his spear with a fierce attack. "Scatter!" The lean Prison Clan Origin Life gritted his teeth, his body silently scattering, transforming into hundreds of streams of light, fleeing in all directions.

"Escape?" Xu Jingming snorted angrily, and rings of light continuously pulsed outwards from his center. The speed at which these light rings spread was clearly much faster than the Prison Clan, engulfing those hundreds of streams of light in the blink of an eye.

The vast majority of the hundreds of streams of light were instantly annihilated, leaving only nine streams of light resisting the impact.

In the midst of the impact, it could be seen that some of those nine streams of light carried short spears, while others were wrapped in blood-colored horns.

"Dividing into nine, scattering to escape?" Xu Jingming was not surprised. Whether human or other races, after reaching the Origin Life level, they were completely transformed into Origin Force. Dividing the body into multiple parts was just a common tactic.

As long as a certain level of energy remained, it was enough to condense into a body.

"Extinguish!"

Xu Jingming waved his left hand, and ultra-highly concentrated lasers shot out from his palm. Lasers reaching the speed of light instantly struck the nine streams of light.

How could the Prison Clan Origin Life's escape speed compare to the speed of light? All nine streams of light were slaughtered by the lasers shot out by Xu Jingming.

"I'm quite skilled in light-based techniques." Xu Jingming was fully confident in releasing the lasers. The principle of lasers was very simple; he only needed to guide the vast Origin Force of the Primordial Battle Armor to converge.

The greater the amount and the more concentrated, the more terrifying the power of the laser.

What limited the power of the laser was only Xu Jingming's mental strength.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

"Such terrifying laser power?" The nine streams of light fled in panic, incredibly resilient, but they were still utterly destroyed one by one under the barrage of lasers.

*Chichichi~~~*

The nine streams of light of the lean Prison Clan Origin Life were desperately fleeing, escaping in all directions, trying to escape the spatial suppression range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Escaped!"

The mere tens of thousands of kilometers were only a blink of an eye, but he had lost seven-ninths of his body's power, leaving only two streams of light escaping the spatial suppression range.

—to escape.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

The two streams of light teleported far away, converging into the lean Prison Clan Origin Life, but at this moment, his aura was significantly weaker.

"I can't afford to care." The lean Prison Clan Origin Life had a resolute madness in his eyes. The horns on his forehead erupted with a dazzling scarlet light. "Time and Space, Exile!"

*Boom!*

His entire body transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, instantly burrowing into the spatial ripples.

A full twelve light-years away, the lean Prison Clan Origin Life appeared from the starry sky, his aura even weaker.

"Escaped." The lean Prison Clan Origin Life looked around, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. "I have quite the talent for escaping. This time, I used self-imposed Time and Space Exile at any cost, instantly traversing more than twelve light-years. Even if that human Origin Life is capable of traversing such distances, he...cannot detect my location and has no idea which direction to chase."

The vast distance of twelve light-years gave him a sufficient sense of security.

"Hm?"

The lean Prison Clan Origin Life's eyes widened slightly. He looked ahead, and a human man appeared in the darkness ahead, none other than Xu Jingming, who had killed his two companions.

"You escaped quite far." Xu Jingming looked at him, his killing intent fierce.

"Impossible!" The lean Prison Clan Origin Life could not believe it. "This is twelve light-years!!"

"Even if this human is a tenth-level Origin Life, even if he's aided by his battle armor, even if he's very skilled in wormhole traversal, he could come after me, but how could he detect me twelve light-years away?" He couldn't believe it.

How could he know?

When Xu Jingming was still a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute, he studied the core inheritance of the 'Light Chapter.' At that time, the Primordial Battle Armor he received had a detection range that exceeded the Solar System.

And the current numbered Primordial Battle Armor was the Primordial Research Institute's treasure, its detection range far beyond the imagination of this lean Prison Clan Origin Life.

Twelve light-years?

Even if it was multiplied tenfold, it would still be within the detection range of the No. 9 Primordial Battle Armor.

"Number Nine is the most adept at escaping among the numbered Primordial Battle Armors. How could I let you escape?" Xu Jingming once again released a terrifying light from his entire body, enveloping the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers. Xu Jingming, like a man of light, looked at the Prison Clan Origin Life.

Under the impact of the terrifying light, the lean Prison Clan Origin Life's aura was noticeably weaker.

"It's over." The Prison Clan Origin Life didn't even struggle anymore, because he knew he couldn't escape this domain of light.

*Shui!*

A long spear instantly arrived.

The Prison Clan Origin Life didn't move either. In his extremely weakened state, he knew very well that wielding his short spear wouldn't stop this long spear. He calmly watched the arrival of death.

"My life, Sang Ya, ends here."

"It's a pity, stopping at the level of a Lord. I didn't become a Monarch and see a wider world." The lean Prison Clan Origin Life allowed the spear to pierce his body.

*Boom!* His body shattered.

His shattered parts also had many of his wills staring at Xu Jingming. Under the impact of the light, these shattered parts were finally broken down and annihilated.

Xu Jingming frowned slightly as he watched all this. "This Prison Clan Origin Life escaped at any cost. Now his strength is less than one-tenth of what it was, yet my spear couldn't annihilate him? The bodies of these Prison Clan Origin Lifes are too strong."

"In terms of bodies, the Prison Clan's evolution methods do have some advantages." Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Each race had its own advantages.

The human race had advantages in technology, battle armor, and other aspects. The Prison Clan had a unique evolution method! Other races simply couldn't learn it.

"No, I feel that his body is very strong, but it's also possible that I'm too weak." Xu Jingming thought to himself. "I am, after all, only a newly advanced ninth-level Origin Life. I rely on the Primordial Battle Armor to kill these three."

Without the Primordial Battle Armor, he would be just a newbie, no match for any of these three. With the No. 9 Primordial Battle Armor, he could reach the threshold strength of the tenth level, giving him an advantage in a one-on-three fight. But it would still be difficult to eliminate them all at once.

"I used a little trick. Actually, I wasn't faking it. I am indeed a ninth level." Xu Jingming thought to himself. The ninth-level life aura he released during the battle was undisguised, which was why the three Prison Clan Origin Lifes were so confident.

If they were afraid to fight a ninth-level human Origin Life, that would be a disgrace! "Huff."

Xu Jingming waved his hand, stowing away the floating weapons, blood-colored horns, and other items.

Then, he took a step and disappeared, returning to the star system where Terrorfish Star was located, to collect the weapons and other items left behind by the other two Prison Clan Origin Lifes after their deaths. He had been fully focused on chasing the last target and had not been able to spare any attention to collecting loot.

Xu Jingming looked at Terrorfish Star in the distance.

Terrorfish Star, after experiencing the aftermath of the previous battle, its surface had become a ruin, the entire planet shrouded in thick dust.

Xu Jingming silently watched.

Yes, he had killed three Prison Clan Origin Lifes.

But...

What about those twenty billion humans?

"I must kill more Prison Clan members, kill them until they dare not come again! If I could completely exterminate the Prison Clan, that would be even better." Xu Jingming had no sympathy for enemy alien races.

Ji Water Star, Xu Jingming's residence.

Upstairs, in the study.

Xu Jingming appeared from nothingness, sitting in the study.

"Mission complete. All three Prison Clan Origin Lifes have been killed, and loot has been acquired." Xu Jingming sat there, and with a thought, he sent the appearances of the three Prison Clan Origin Lifes, the current state of Terrorfish Star, and the virtual appearances of many of the spoils of war through the virtual world network.

At the same time, Xu Jingming began to examine these spoils of war.

"A knife?"

Xu Jingming picked up a bloody long knife. After the knife was taken out, an invisible aura affected the surroundings, but Xu Jingming naturally restrained it by manipulating his Origin Force. Otherwise, if these auras spread out, they would be like a deadly poison to ordinary people.

"I heard that the weapons of the Prison Clan Origin Lifes are all coordinated with their evolution methods, giving the weapons extraordinary destructive power." Xu Jingming put away the knife, then took out a pair of gloves and looked at them, then looked at the black short spear with a terrifying baleful aura.

After examining the weapons, he took out three blood-colored horns.

"I heard that the Prison Clan is only bestowed with blood-colored horns after becoming Origin Lifes. This is a symbol of their identity and glory, and it also contains subsequent evolution methods." Xu Jingming carefully investigated.

The blood-colored horns were very special, containing independent spaces that stored a large number of looted items, as well as personal cosmic spacecraft and other things.

"For so many years, races from all over the universe have been unable to seize the Prison Clan's evolution methods." Xu Jingming quickly put away the blood-colored horns, preparing to wait for the Primordial Research Institute to send someone to receive the loot later.

Inside a small cosmic spacecraft.

The Prison Clan squad leader and a female companion silently looked at the signal receiver in their hands. "Buzz."

Another signal light completely went out.

"Sang Ya is also dead." The faces of the Prison Clan squad leader and his female companion were not good.

"Captain, who exactly did Cong Luo and the other two encounter? A human tenth-level Origin Life?" The female companion said.

"It should be."

The Prison Clan squad leader nodded slightly. "They were intercepted as soon as they raided the first life planet. It's likely that a tenth-level Origin Life was living in the surrounding star system to arrive so quickly."

"But Varuna and Cong Luo died at the same time in an instant." The female companion said, "If they encountered a tenth-level Origin Life, the three of them should have immediately separated to escape. With our Prison Clan's escaping abilities, shouldn't all three of them have died?"

"It is a bit strange."

The Prison Clan squad leader's eyes were dark. "Unfortunately, we don't know the details."

"Varuna and Cong Luo died at the same time. After they died, Sang Ya sent out a distress signal. Then his signal also went out completely." The female companion pondered, "But Varuna and Cong Luo didn't send out any signals before they died."

"Perhaps the three of them felt they could escape before." The Prison Clan squad leader shook his head. "By the time the opponent exposed his terrifying methods, it was too late. Unfortunately, our Prison Clan's communication technology is too poor and can't even cover the human race's Heavenly Python Cosmos Domain."

In the vast universe, communication has always been a problem. Among the many races, the human race does the best.

Humans excel at technology, and the virtual world network is an incredibly outstanding achievement. For ordinary cosmic lifeforms, they can achieve zero delay within the same cosmos domain! For Origin Lifes, the information receiving range even exceeds the human race's 34 cosmos domains.

But other races are much inferior in terms of communication.

Like the Prison Clan, even within their native territory, information exchange is very rudimentary. Even the virtual hosts they plunder only cover a single planet, but that simplified version of the virtual world is already a rare luxury for the Prison Clan.

As for outside their native territory?

Once they act alone, they are left to fend for themselves. Of course, this also has one advantage. When infiltrating the territory of an enemy race, they themselves cannot contact anyone, so they naturally won't expose their location or implicate their companions.

"Captain, the first wave of operations has already resulted in the loss of three team members. Should we return?" The female companion asked worriedly. "I always feel that the simultaneous deaths of Cong Luo and Varuna are a bit strange."

"Infiltrating human territory to kill is bound to occasionally encounter human Origin Lifes. It's normal to have losses." The Prison Clan squad leader shook his head. "As long as the losses don't exceed 30%, everything will proceed as usual."

As a squad leader, he had long been accustomed to the loss of team members.

Moreover, in racial conflicts, if the Prison Clan suffers losses, the human side will also have Origin Lifes die in battle.

The female companion nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"Cong Luo and the other two may have just had bad luck. The truly powerful figures of the human race are generally on the front lines fighting against the Void Sky Race. There are very few in the Heavenly Teardrop Cosmos Domain." The Prison Clan squad leader said, "Let's rest first. When the time comes, we'll begin the second wave of raids."

The Prison Clan squad leader looked remotely at a prosperous life planet in the distance, an administrative star with over ten billion humans residing there. This was the second wave of raiding targets he had set his sights on.

Each operation would not stop until enough loot had been plundered or the losses had reached a certain level.
