Chapter 140 The Situation

A little over a minute after Lord Moyou left, ripples appeared in the starry sky, and a spaceship arrived, traversing space-time.

Inside the spaceship stood two figures: Mr. Jian and Yi Jiu.

"Lord Moyou has already left." Mr. Jian's eyes reflected the starry sky, every corner under his scrutiny.

"Having learned his lesson from last time, Lord Moyou will flee immediately upon exposure," Yi Jiu said calmly. This was entirely within his expectations. He and Mr. Jian were a terrifying combination.

Lord Moyou was unwilling to fight these two. The taste of having a portion of the Nightmare World annihilated was not pleasant.

Mr. Jian said, "Since we injured Lord Moyou, the number of times he's taken action has decreased significantly. Logically, he shouldn't have acted so quickly again."

"Is he targeting Junior Brother Wu Ming?" Yi Jiu guessed.

"We must be careful to guard against this. If Junior Brother Wu Ming dies and loses the high-dimensional treasure, it will be troublesome," Mr. Jian said. "Moreover, Lord Moyou's attacks pose too great a threat to ordinary ninth-level source lifeforms."

Yi Jiu nodded.

The ninth-level source lifeforms of the human race who came to the front lines were almost all older or had accumulated enough strength. Although they were more cautious and equipped with powerful technological weapons, there would still be casualties.

Although some could be resurrected.

But those with little merit and those who were old would truly die.

The human ninth-level source lifeforms could not oppose war orders, so they were forced to work even harder. If they became tenth-level source lifeforms, they would not fear death.

Killing a tenth-level source lifeform was very difficult, and even if killed, they would still be resurrected.

Of course, tenth-level source lifeforms were also unwilling to be "resurrected."

Because death would result in the loss of all carried items, and corresponding merit would be deducted upon resurrection! Even if the merit was insufficient, it would be deducted into negative numbers. After dying a few times, one might be penniless.

Black Iron Star, inside the manor.

"You suspect that Lord Moyou is specifically targeting me?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Since he was injured, the number of times he has taken action has decreased," Senior Brother Jian said. "Only five days after your last ambush, he personally led a detachment. I feel like he was deliberately waiting for you."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "That makes sense."

"We sent a letter to the research institute. Starting next time, when you are responsible for ambushes, take the two of us with you," Yi Jiu said. "If you encounter Lord Moyou, you can drop the two of us off and retreat first."

"Thank you, Senior Brothers," Xu Jingming said.

"We must severely injure Moyou a few more times to deter him," Senior Brother Jian said. "Otherwise, his repeated attacks pose too great a threat to ordinary source lifeforms."

"His Nightmare World power is borrowed by integrating high-dimensional objects," Yi Jiu said. "So, when Junior Brother Jian and I join forces to completely annihilate a portion of the Nightmare World, it will be very painful for him."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Just like the No. 9 Primordial Battle Suit uses high-dimensional power, it consumes internal "source essence." When Lord Moyou uses the Nightmare World, it "consumes" the high-dimensional object he has integrated. If a portion of the "Nightmare World" is completely annihilated, the consumption will be even greater.

"His Nightmare World is deeply intertwined with his mind and consciousness. Annihilating a portion of the Nightmare World will also cause him mental anguish," Senior Brother Jian said.

"Borrowed high-dimensional power does have many flaws," Xu Jingming said.

"On our human side, whether it's the numbered Primordial Battle Suits or some high-dimensional weapons, they don't cause any harm to ourselves," Yi Jiu said. "The Prison race directly integrates high-dimensional objects into their bodies, and the backlash is greater. Because of this, the Prison race has more lords who control high-dimensional power, and many are crazy and have very low self-control."

"Those who are crazy rarely go to the battlefield," Senior Brother Jian said. "Because when they go crazy, they won't listen to orders, and they may even attack their own kind."

"High-dimensional objects directly integrated into the body?" Xu Jingming shook his head. "That's crazy."

No human tenth-level source lifeform would do that.

"The Prison race's evolutionary method is very special, so they can do this. Even so, the probability of losing control is very high. If we humans integrated high-dimensional objects, eight or nine out of ten would go mad," Senior Brother Jian said with a laugh.

The three of them chatted and talked, and Xu Jingming also gained knowledge.

…

Xu Jingming's current ambush range covers one-third of the Tianmang Starfield and is still the "most frequently plundered" area! Therefore, Xu Jingming will receive missions for more than 70% of the Prison race's plundering actions, so the missions are naturally frequent.

Only three days after Lord Moyou took action, Xu Jingming received another mission.

"There's a mission, let's go."

With a thought transmission, Xu Jingming took away Senior Brother Jian, who was holding a paintbrush, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu, who was drunkenly drinking wine.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

With just two space-time traversals, Xu Jingming and his two companions arrived within the territory of the Nine Peng Star Alliance, 1.87 billion light-years away. Including calming the space-time fluctuations, the total time did not exceed eight seconds.

"So fast."

"This is faster than the most advanced spaceship." Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu praised. Xu Jingming, however, took them on another high-dimensional walk, observing the Prison race from a high-dimensional perspective.

"There are two Prison race lords." After Xu Jingming confirmed, he descended directly.

Endless light enveloped! Shining on this life planet that had just experienced a catastrophe!

"That is—"

The two Prison race lords looked up in horror, seeing the figure in the center of the light and the two companions beside him.

Under the endless light, there were also hidden lasers. The terrifying lasers directly incinerated them.

"So fast." Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu marveled.

"We still have to go to the next place." Xu Jingming instantly collected the spoils of war and immediately rushed to the next plundered life planet.

After continuously ambushing two places, Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were completely spectators. After all, the Prison race ninth-levels with this strength did not need the two of them to take action.

"If there are any more missions, it's estimated to be the next wave of plundering." Xu Jingming also relaxed and collected the spoils of war.

"I've seen Junior Brother Wu Ming's ambush efficiency," Yi Jiu praised.

"I'm just bullying some Prison race ninth-levels," Xu Jingming said. After all, he might be able to suppress any Prison race tenth-level lord, but wanting to kill them...that was a very difficult thing.

Senior Brother Jian said, "The greatest harm to countless life planets is caused by the Prison race ninth-levels. How many Prison race tenth-levels are there?"

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Indeed, the Prison race's evolution mode was very crazy. From birth, they were screened in life and death. The strong went further, and the weak died! The probability of the Prison race giving birth to ninth-levels was higher than that of the human race.

But the probability of giving birth to tenth-levels was significantly lower for the Prison race.

Becoming a high-dimensional life was even more difficult than on the human side!

The three high-dimensional lives currently living in the human race were all in the Eternal Realm, while the Prison race's most powerful "Prison Race Progenitor" was an outsider. As for the Prison race itself...in history, it had never given birth to an "Eternal Realm" high-dimensional life. This was also a flaw in the Prison race's evolutionary path.

"I really hope that the scene of being plundered and massacred by alien races will no longer appear." Xu Jingming looked at this life planet.

"Then we have to be stronger, strong enough that no alien race dares to come and plunder and attack," Senior Brother Yi Jiu said.

"The strength of high-dimensional life is the strength of the cosmic race. We are just grains of sand in the long river of time," Senior Brother Jian said. "After 100,000 years, if we don't become high-dimensional life, we will all turn into dust."

Xu Jingming and Yi Jiu nodded.

This was also the reason why the three Supreme Realms rarely intervened in the affairs of the human race. After all, due to lifespan reasons, the human race changed generation after generation! Only high-dimensional life could live long and truly influence the fate of the race.

"The Nine Peng Star Alliance's relay star has discovered the Prison race's 'Black Serpent Lord'. Tenth-level source life 'Fatrans' is in danger. Please proceed to rescue immediately." A mission message suddenly arrived, and Xu Jingming and his two companions all received the message.

"Black Serpent Lord? We didn't encounter Lord Moyou, but we encountered the Black Serpent Lord?"

"Coming together was really the right choice."

Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were both a little surprised.

"Let's go."

Xu Jingming was also very surprised and immediately took Senior Brother Jian and the two to the relay star. This Black Serpent Lord was one of the six strongest lords of the Prison race in the Tianmang Starfield and also controlled high-dimensional power.

Although he was not listed among the top ten lords of the Prison race, he also controlled high-dimensional power and was very difficult to deal with.

If it was only Xu Jingming alone, he would naturally hide far away, but with two senior brothers, Xu Jingming was still full of confidence.

******

The relay star was a life planet with a diameter of about 21,000 kilometers, and at this moment, this life planet was completely surrounded by black water.

The mighty black water completely enveloped the life planet.

"Boom."

"Boom."

A terrifying force wanted to rush out of this life planet, but countless black water entangled and enveloped it.

"I actually encountered the Black Serpent Lord." Fatrans was also wearing a Primordial Battle Suit, and at this moment, his whole body burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings. And there were layers of space-time surrounding him.

Tens of thousands of dense layers of "space-time layers" formed a cocoon-like creation, protecting Fatrans and resisting the erosion of the black water.

As a tenth-level source life that had lived for tens of thousands of years, since he was going to the battlefield, he would naturally spare no expense to purchase powerful technological weapons! Although he could not use high-dimensional weapons yet, the "third-generation space-time cocoon" he was using at the moment could be said to have brought the tricks within the normal universe space-time to the extreme.

Ordinary space-time protection could not resist erosion?

Then stack them! Superimpose various space-time layers! This technological weapon required a high level of knowledge of "space-time," which Fatrans naturally possessed.

"Chichi chichi." The space-time cocoon, which was only three meters high, had layers of space-time layers inside. Fatrans observed the speed of the surrounding black water erosion, and his face was ugly.

"High-dimensional power is indeed different. Even the space-time cocoon, which has extremely strong protection, can constantly restore the eroded space-time layers...but the recovery speed is obviously not as fast as the erosion speed. In three minutes, it will be completely eroded."

"What's more, the Black Serpent Lord will not let me resist." Fatrans saw that in the endless black water, a black serpent condensed, and the huge snake head opened its bloody mouth, wanting to swallow the space-time cocoon in one bite.

"Boom."

Fatrans' eyes were full of madness, the light on his body soared, and the impact force suddenly increased, blasting open layers of black water and flashing thousands of kilometers away, dodging the snake's mouth, but soon more black water entangled and bound him.

"I'll see how many times you can dodge." On the black water planet, the black serpent swallowed again.

Just then—

Without warning, three figures appeared out of thin air on the surface of the life planet covered by black water, only tens of kilometers away from the black water.

"Hmm?" The Black Serpent Lord was startled. "I didn't even notice? How did they appear?"

The Black Serpent Lord's mental power could not detect high dimensions, so when Xu Jingming descended with high-dimensional travel, he was also unprepared.

The Black Serpent Lord saw the three people in front of him.

The man wearing the black robe, according to intelligence, was the mysterious warden 'Dark Gunslinger'. His true identity in the human race was still unknown, and it was suspected that a human source life high-level figure had changed his appearance and aura.

The other two, the Black Serpent Lord recognized at a glance, which made him panic.

Because these two, one was Mr. Jian, who was best at trapping enemies, and the other was Yi Jiu, who controlled two high-dimensional powers and was extremely terrifying in frontal combat.

"Crap." Just as the Black Serpent Lord wanted to escape, he found that the surrounding space-time was changing.

This starry sky seemed to be reflected by a mirror, reflecting layer after layer.

Hundreds of layers of starry sky enveloped it, like a huge space-time maze. The Black Serpent Lord could not find a way to leave at all, and he could not sense the outside world.

"I'm trapped." The Black Serpent Lord's heart turned cold.

The Nightmare World transformed by Lord Moyou was invisible and vast, and the space-time maze could not completely seal it off. But the Black Serpent Lord's 'black water' could only spread to a small area, not to mention that it was only more than 100,000 kilometers just now, and it was completely trapped in an instant.

At the same time, layers of space-time were suppressed, and the extremely heavy pressure was enough to suppress most Prison race lords.

Although the Black Serpent Lord could withstand the suppression, his strength was also greatly damaged.

"Black Serpent Lord." Under the heavy space-time suppression, Yi Jiu stepped on the layers of space-time and walked towards him, which made the Black Serpent Lord's heart completely cold.

"How could it be so fast? I didn't spend much time dealing with Fatrans, and the two of them arrived. Is it because the two of them are in this star alliance? Or is it because of that mysterious warden?" The Black Serpent Lord had many thoughts at this moment.

…

Xu Jingming and Fatrans stood in the starry sky, looking at the relay star from afar.

Around the relay star, the mirror world suppressed layer by layer, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu attacked at close range. Even in a one-on-one fight, Senior Brother Yi Jiu had an overwhelming advantage. Not to mention that Senior Brother Jian was helping.

"Roar~~~"

The Black Serpent Lord was like a madman, struggling in the core of the mirror world's suppression for five seconds, and was finally hammered into nothingness by Senior Brother Yi Jiu with his fist.

"So fast." Xu Jingming and Fatrans were both amazed.

The terrifying Prison race lord 'Black Serpent Lord' that the two of them could not match head-on was finished in five seconds in the face of Senior Brother Jian and Yi Jiu joining forces.

The mirror world dissipated.

Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu took a step and had already arrived in front of them.

"Junior Brother." Senior Brother Yi Jiu smiled and reached out his hand. "This is the high-dimensional object that the Black Serpent Lord integrated. Even if he is resurrected, he will not have this high-dimensional object."

In Senior Brother Yi Jiu's palm, there was a drop of black water that exuded a seductive aura. In the black water, there were vaguely hundreds of millions of living beings emerging and disappearing. Xu Jingming even had a feeling that as long as he ate it, he would completely transform.

But Xu Jingming also knew that this was an illusion! High-dimensional objects, when swallowed into the body, only brought endless disasters.
