Chapter 570 - 570 Maxon and Xu Jingming
570 Maxon and Xu Jingming
Black Iron.
“Although I guessed that Lunarstar would succeed the throne, I never expected it to happen so quickly.” Yijiu sighed. “After becoming emperor, Lunarstar will grow exponentially fast. It’s even possible for him to become a cosmic legend.”
Xu Jingming held his wine gla.s.s and listened to Senior Brother Yijiu as he looked at the Möbius model on the projection.
“You don’t seem to mind?” Yijiu glanced at Xu Jingming and smiled. “I know that Lunarstar’s brother had a conflict with you.”
!!
“The Primestar emperor can’t control me. Would Lunardo dare to stir up trouble for me?” Xu Jingming chuckled.
He didn’t care. Even Lunarstar couldn’t control him, much less Lunardo.
“Actually, I do care.” Xu Jingming looked up at Yijiu. “I gave him a big gift.”
“How big?” Yijiu asked.
“One trillion cosmic dollars,” Xu Jingming said.
“Even a fully constructed habitable planet is worth more than that.” Yijiu shook his head. A virtual mainframe, a top planetary defense system, and other aspects couldn’t be obtained even with one trillion.
“It’s quite a lot. That’s the market rate for Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms,” Xu Jingming said.
Yijiu smiled. He could sense the pride in his junior brother.
“That’s right. You’re almost at Lv. 10, right?” Yijiu sighed. “With your speed of reaching Lv. 10, it’s unquestionable that… you’re the most talented person in the cosmic human race.”
Xu Jingming smiled. “Becoming a Lv. 10 is nothing. Only becoming a cosmic legend is worth bragging about.”
“How many people in the entire cosmic human race are qualified to brag?” Yijiu shook his head.
As the two conversed—
Huh? Xu Jingming suddenly received a transfer order from the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.
“Senior Brother Yijiu, I’ve received a transfer order.” Xu Jingming looked up at Yijiu. “They want me to guard another spot in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector in three days.”
“You’re leaving Black Iron?” Yijiu was stunned.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Yijiu sighed. “I still remember that the three of us often had gatherings here over the years. Now, I’m the only one left.”
“We’ll have plenty of opportunities to reunite after Senior Brother Jane’s revival,” Xu Jingming remarked.
“Come, let’s drink to our hearts’ content today.” Yijiu took out a fiery-red wine flask. The wine flask contained an auxiliary s.p.a.ce that stored the wine.
“You’re taking out your precious wine flask?” Xu Jingming was surprised. “You previously limited it to three cups of Scarlet Fire Wine every time.”
“Drink as much as you can today!” Yijiu was extremely forthright.
Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up. “Don’t regret it!”
…
As an Origin lifeform, Xu Jingming only stopped when he was a little tipsy.
Half of the wine in the fiery wine flask was gone, making Yijiu feel the pinch. This was already Xu Jingming showing mercy.
The next day, Xu Jingming bade farewell to Senior Brother Yijiu.
“I’ll get going,” Xu Jingming smiled and said as he looked at the big-headed Senior Brother Yijiu. They had been together for nearly 100 years, so they naturally had a good relationship.
“Reach Lv. 10 as soon as possible! This era belongs to you!” Yijiu said with a smile.
“I’ll do my best,” Xu Jingming replied and left through s.p.a.cetime.
******
In a secluded manor on Planet Squareprosp, a white-robed elder sat in a chair and leisurely read the information on the projection. Xu Jingming suddenly appeared above the planet and took a step into the manor.
“Senior Brother Sang,” Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.
The white-robed elder got up and smiled at Xu Jingming. “I only found out after receiving the mission from the research inst.i.tute that the mysterious guardian who gave the h.e.l.lions a headache was you, Junior Brother Wu Ming. For you to have grasped high-dimensional powers nearly a hundred years ago, impressive.”
“It’s only high-dimensional traveling,” Xu Jingming said. “Senior Brother Sang is the number one Lv. 10 Origin lifeform in the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.”
Senior Brother Sang’s real name was Maxon Primestar Chu. He was the former emperor of the Primestar civilization who had just abdicated.
Now that he was free after his abdication, the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute arranged for him to resolve the problem regarding Sovereign Moyou.
Many people believed that he was the number one Lv. 10 Origin lifeform in the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute. On the one hand, his status was high enough. After all, he was the emperor of the Primestar civilization. On the other hand, he indeed had extremely terrifying strength.
“Have a seat, Junior Brother,” Maxon said.
Xu Jingming sat down.
Maxon poured the tea. “This is tea brewed with Thousand Leaf Gra.s.s; I’ve always liked it. Try it.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Xu Jingming held his teacup and took a sip.
The moment the tea entered his mouth, it diffused into his entire body, and his senses became much sharper. His perception of s.p.a.cetime, matter, and energy clearly increased.
“This tea?” Xu Jingming exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s quite helpful for one’s senses. I’ll give you some Thousand Leaf Gra.s.s in a while,” Maxon said with a smile. “Oh right, I came to the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector to deal with Moyou. After I finish off Moyou, I’ll be fighting the Void Celestials. You should be very familiar with Moyou, right?”
Xu Jingming nodded. “Sovereign Moyou probably lost control and is gradually being a.s.similated by those eyes, but he has also become stronger.”
“According to the information I received, there’s the abyss hidden in his eye world?” Maxon asked.
“I don’t know much either. Senior Brother Jane was suppressed by one eye and eventually died, but Senior Brother Yijiu was swallowed by the other eye and blocked it,” Xu Jingming replied. “Senior Brother Yijiu said that Sovereign Moyou probably has the strength of one of the top five Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.”
Maxon nodded in thought.
“Senior Brother, any confidence?” Xu Jingming asked.
There was no doubt about Senior Brother Maxon’s strength.
“We’ll only know when we fight,” Maxon said. “Just send me to his Nightmare World when the time comes.”
“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded.
…
More than a month later, in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, Sovereign Moyou led a team to carry out small-scale plundering. After all, medium and large-scale plundering was relatively rare; Moyou couldn’t hold back.
Xu Jingming and Maxon immediately headed over after receiving the mission.
The first interception killed a Lv. 9 h.e.l.lion Overlord.
They only encountered Sovereign Moyou on their second interception.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming was very cautious. As a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, he didn’t dare to appear in front of Sovereign Moyou even though he had the Primordial Battle Armor’s protection. He carried out high-dimensional traveling as usual and observed from a high-dimensional perspective.
“I see it.” Xu Jingming could clearly see the huge Nightmare World fuse into the universe from higher dimensions.
“Leave it to me.” Maxon could still speak in high-dimensional s.p.a.ce.
Xu Jingming threw him out.
Maxon plummeted from high-dimensional s.p.a.ce and appeared in the vast Nightmare World.
Huh?
In the huge Nightmare World with a diameter of about two trillion kilometers, two huge eyes opened and looked at the white-robed elder, Maxon.
“s.p.a.cetime is like a cage. You and I are both in it.” Maxon walked to the two huge eyes. With his voice, an even larger cage appeared, completely enveloping the entire Nightmare World.
“Emperor of the human Primestar civilization, Maxon?” The two huge eyes were filled with excitement. “You’re the most delicious prey I’ve ever encountered.”
One of the huge eyes took the initiative to envelop him. Maxon didn’t resist and instead took the initiative to walk in.
In just ten seconds—
“Ah!” A miserable scream echoed throughout the Nightmare World. Terrifying flames rose from the huge eye that trapped Maxon.
Under the flames, the pupils of the eye began to crack and tear.
“You’ve grasped the Primordial Star Flame?” Sovereign Moyou was alarmed. The abyss in his eyes collapsed from the heat. After all, this was only an illusory abyss.
“If I had grasped the true Primordial Star Flame, you would already be dead.” Bathed in flames, Maxon was like a fiery G.o.d. Terrifying flames rose and burned, and new cracks constantly appeared in the eyes and pupils.
“s.p.a.cetime Cage, Void Incineration.”
Maxon’s eyes were indifferent as the flames he erupted quickly spread out, covering a wider area. Wherever it pa.s.sed, the Nightmare power was burned into nothingness.
“Ahhh, it hurts.”
With a roar, the two huge eyes slammed into the s.p.a.cetime cage, causing it to collapse. Nightmare power seeped into the outside world, and with a whoosh, the entire Nightmare World disappeared.
The Nightmare World has fused into the universe, allowing him to escape through the universe? Maxon stood still and frowned slightly.
Soon, Xu Jingming—who had received the news—arrived.
“Senior Brother.” Xu Jingming came close. “How was it?”
“Those two eyes are core to the Nightmare World.” Maxon shook his head. “With Sovereign Moyou’s control over these two eyes, we have to destroy them to kill him.”
“Can they be destroyed?” Xu Jingming asked.
“They are two inanimate objects after all,” Maxon said. “Give me more time, and I’m confident in destroying them. However, the Nightmare World spans over two trillion kilometers, so it’s very difficult to trap it completely. Even if I can… the restraints will weaken due to the large area. I won’t be able to withstand Sovereign Moyou’s desperate strike.”
It was already unbelievable that Maxon could use s.p.a.cetime Cage to trap the entire Nightmare World. After all, the restraints were weakened across the vast area; Moyou just needed to direct his strength in one direction when escaping.
Xu Jingming nodded.
“Junior Brother, can you observe where his Nightmare World has fled with your high-dimensional traveling? As long as you can catch up and attack a few times in a row, you have a chance of killing him,” Maxon said.
“I can’t.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “I’ll try again after I reach Lv. 10.”
Maxon nodded. “This madness that Sovereign Moyou exhibits will last a hundred years at most.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
…
Sovereign Moyou returned to his encampment, the lonely planet.
“Ah.” Sovereign Moyou covered his right eye in pain, but cracks could still be seen on his jade-green right eye.
d.a.m.n you, Maxon. He should be considered the strongest below cosmic legends, but he still can’t do anything to me. Sovereign Moyou sneered softly before enduring the pain.
At the same time, as the a.s.similation deepened, more memories in these eyes fused into his consciousness.
…
Under the night sky.
Xu Jingming sat on the balcony of the study, but an extremely tiny object was condensing in front of him. A total of 100 billion layers combined to form the most basic Möbius Force structural model. This was also the most difficult of the six evolutionary models needed for Heavenly Python Evolution’s Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms.
Xu Jingming looked at it—it was insignificant that even cosmic lifeforms couldn’t see through, but Xu Jingming could clearly see its beauty.
“I succeeded,” Xu Jingming whispered. “I can break through to Lv. 10 next.”
