Chapter 1 Black Iron Star

"Although I guessed that Lu Naxing would succeed to the throne, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Yi Jiu sighed, "After becoming emperor, Lu Naxing's growth rate will definitely increase greatly. It's even possible he'll become a Cosmic Legend."

Xu Jingming held his wine glass, listening to his senior brother Yi Jiu while looking at the snake ring model on the screen.

"You don't seem to care?" Yi Jiu looked at Xu Jingming and smiled, "I know that Lu Naxing's younger brother had conflicts with you."

"The emperor of the Yuan Xing civilization can't control me. Does Lu Naduo dare to come and cause trouble for me?" Xu Jingming said softly with a smile, not caring at all.

Lu Naxing couldn't control him, let alone Lu Naduo.

"Actually, I do care," Xu Jingming looked up at Yi Jiu, "I sent a generous gift."

"How generous?" Yi Jiu asked.

"One trillion universe coins," Xu Jingming said.

"That's not even enough to build a sufficiently complete life planet." Yi Jiu shook his head. Equipping it with a virtual host, a top-notch planetary defense system, and all the related investments, one trillion is indeed not enough.

"It's already a lot. Tier 10 Origin Lifeforms generally send gifts of this amount," Xu Jingming said.

Yi Jiu smiled.

He could sense the pride in this junior brother's bones.

"That's right, you're almost at Tier 10, right?" Yi Jiu sighed. "With your speed of reaching Tier 10, it can undoubtedly be said... that you are the most talented person of the contemporary human race in the universe."

Xu Jingming smiled, "Reaching Tier 10 is nothing. Becoming a Cosmic Legend is something worth boasting about."

"Then how many people in the entire human race in the universe are qualified to boast?" Yi Jiu shook his head.

As they were talking, Xu Jingming suddenly received an order from the Yuan Chu Research Institute.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming suddenly received a transfer order from the Yuan Chu Research Institute.

"Senior Brother Yi Jiu, I received a transfer order." Xu Jingming looked up at his senior brother Yi Jiu. "I'm ordered to be stationed in another location in the Tianmang Cosmic Domain within three days."

"You're leaving Black Iron Star?" Yi Jiu was stunned.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

Yi Jiu sighed, "I remember how the three of us used to get together often these past few years. In the blink of an eye, I'll be the only one left."

"After Senior Brother Jian is resurrected, we'll have plenty of opportunities to get together," Xu Jingming said.

"Come, let's drink heartily today!" Senior Brother Yi Jiu took out a fiery red wine gourd, with an attached space inside to store the wine.

"You're taking out your treasure wine gourd?" Xu Jingming was surprised. "Before, you always limited me to three cups of Crimson Fire Wine."

"You can drink as much as you want today!" Senior Brother Yi Jiu was extremely generous.

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up. "You said it, don't regret it!"

Xu Jingming, as an Origin Lifeform, only stopped after getting slightly tipsy. The wine in the fiery red gourd was already half gone, making Senior Brother Yi Jiu feel quite pained. Xu Jingming had already shown mercy.

The next day, Xu Jingming bid farewell to Senior Brother Yi Jiu.

"I'm leaving."

Looking at the large-headed Senior Brother Yi Jiu, Xu Jingming said with a smile. Having been together for nearly a hundred years, they naturally had some feelings for each other.

"Reach Tier 10 as soon as possible! This era belongs to you!" Senior Brother Yi Jiu said with a smile.

"I'll work hard." Xu Jingming said, then tore through space and left.

Fang Sheng Star. In a secluded manor, an old man in white robes sat in a chair, leisurely watching the knowledge on the screen. Xu Jingming suddenly appeared in the sky above the planet, and with another step, he arrived inside the manor.

"Senior Brother Sang," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

The white-robed old man stood up, looking at Xu Jingming with a smile. "I only learned about it after receiving the mission from the research institute, that the mysterious garrison that is giving the Prison race a headache is actually Junior Brother Wu Ming. Junior Brother Wu Ming mastered high-dimensional power nearly a hundred years ago. I admire you, I admire you."

"It's just high-dimensional travel," Xu Jingming said. "Senior Brother Sang is the number one Tier 10 Origin Lifeform in the Yuan Chu Research Institute."

Senior Brother Sang, whose real name is Ma Xun * Yuan Xing * Chu, was the recently retired emperor of the Yuan Xing civilization.

After he retired and had some free time, the Yuan Chu Research Institute arranged for him to solve the problem of Monarch Mo You.

Many people believe that he is the number one Tier 10 Origin Lifeform in the Yuan Chu Research Institute. On the one hand, his status was high before, after all, he was the emperor of the Yuan Xing civilization. On the other hand, he does possess extremely terrifying strength.

"Junior brother, please sit," Ma Xun said.

Xu Jingming sat down next to him.

Ma Xun helped pour tea. "This is tea made from Qian Ye grass roots. I've always liked it very much. Try it."

"Thank you, senior brother." Xu Jingming picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea entered his mouth and naturally permeated his entire body. His entire body's senses became much sharper. His perception of time and space, and of matter and energy, had clearly improved.

"This tea?" Xu Jingming exclaimed.

"It helps with the body's perception. I'll give you some Qian Ye grass roots later." Ma Xun smiled and said, "By the way, the reason I came to the Tianmang Cosmic Domain this time is to deal with Mo You. After I solve Mo You, I'm going to fight the Void God race. Regarding Mo You... Junior brother should be very familiar with him, right?"

Xu Jingming nodded. "Monarch Mo You should be out of control. He is gradually being assimilated by those eyes, but his strength is also becoming stronger."

"The information I received said that his eye world hides an abyss?" Ma Xun asked.

"I don't know much about it. Senior Brother Jian was suppressed by one eye and ultimately died, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu was swallowed by another eye, but he managed to block it." Xu Jingming said, "Senior Brother Yi Jiu said that Monarch Mo You probably has the strength of the top five Tier 10 Origin Lifeforms in the Yuan Chu Research Institute."

Ma Xun nodded, thinking.

"Is senior brother confident?" Xu Jingming asked.

Senior Brother Ma Xun's strength is beyond doubt.

"I'll only know after fighting," Ma Xun said. "When the time comes, just send me into his nightmare world."

"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.

More than a month later, within the Tianmang Cosmic Domain, Monarch Mo You led a squad on a small-scale raid. After all, there are relatively few medium and large-scale raids, and Monarch Mo You couldn't hold back.

Xu Jingming and Ma Xun received the mission and immediately set off.

The first interception killed a Prison race Tier 9 leader.

The second interception was when they encountered Monarch Mo You.

"Whoosh."

Xu Jingming was very cautious. As a Tier 9 Origin Lifeform, even with the protection of the Yuan Chu battle armor, he didn't dare to appear in front of Monarch Mo You. He continued to use high-dimensional travel, observing from a high dimension.

"I see him." From the high dimension, Xu Jingming clearly saw the vast nightmare world merging into the real universe.

"Leave it to me," Ma Xun's voice still echoed in the high-dimensional space.

Xu Jingming threw him.

*Ka!*

Ma Xun fell from the high dimension and appeared directly in the vast nightmare world.

"Hmm?"

In the massive nightmare world, which was about two trillion kilometers in diameter, two enormous eyes opened and looked at the white-robed old man, Ma Xun.

"Ma Xun, the emperor of the human Yuan Xing civilization?" The two enormous eyes were filled with excitement. "You are the most delicious prey I have encountered."

One of the enormous eyes took the initiative to envelop him. Ma Xun did not resist. Instead, he actively walked in.

In just over ten seconds!

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the nightmare world. In the enormous eye that had trapped Ma Xun, terrifying flames rose. The flames burned, causing the eye's pupils to crack and break.

"You mastered the Yuan Chu Star Flame?" Monarch Mo You was shocked and furious. The abyss in his eye was collapsing from the burning, after all, it was just a virtual abyss.

"If I had mastered the real Yuan Chu Star Flame, you would have died long ago." Ma Xun, bathed in flames, was like a flame god. The terrifying flames rose and burned, and new cracks constantly appeared in the eye's pupils. "Time-Space Cage, incinerate nothingness!"

Ma Xun's eyes were indifferent. The flames that erupted quickly spread out, and the range of the flames became wider and wider. Wherever they passed, the power of the nightmare was burned into nothingness.

"Ah, ah, ah, it really hurts!"

Accompanied by a roar.

The two enormous eyes slammed into each other, colliding with the Time-Space Cage, causing the Time-Space Cage to collapse. The power of the nightmare permeated the outside world, and with a whoosh, the entire nightmare world disappeared.

"The nightmare world merged into the real universe, universe escape?" Ma Xun stood in place, frowning slightly.

Soon, Xu Jingming, who had received the news, arrived.

"Senior brother," Xu Jingming arrived nearby. "How is it?"

"Those two eyes are the core of the nightmare world," Ma Xun shook his head. "Based on Monarch Mo You's control over these two eyes, you must destroy these two eyes to kill Mo You."

"Can you destroy them?" Xu Jingming asked.

"After all, they are two dead objects," Ma Xun said. "Give me some more time, and I'm confident I can destroy them. But the nightmare world has a range of two trillion kilometers in diameter. It's very difficult to completely trap him. Even if I can trap him... because the range is too large, the binding force becomes weaker, and I can't stop Monarch Mo You's desperate blow."

It was already unbelievable that Ma Xun could use the Time-Space Cage to trap the entire nightmare world. After all, the range was too vast, and the binding force was naturally weaker. When Mo You escaped, he could concentrate his strength in one place.

Xu Jingming nodded.

"Junior brother, you can travel in high dimensions. Can you observe where his nightmare world has escaped to? As long as you can catch up and attack a few more times, there is hope of killing him," Ma Xun said.

"I can't observe it," Xu Jingming shook his head. "I'll try again after I reach Tier 10."

Ma Xun nodded, "This Monarch Mo You will only be crazy for about a hundred years at most."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Monarch Mo You returned to his station, that lonely planet.

"Ah."

Monarch Mo You covered his right eye in pain. Cracks could still be seen in the emerald green right eye.

"What a Ma Xun, he should be considered the strongest below the Cosmic Legend. But he still can't do anything to me." Monarch Mo You chuckled softly, then endured the pain, bearing it.

At the same time, as the assimilation deepened, more memories in these eyes were merging into his consciousness.

Under the night sky.

Xu Jingming sat on the balcony of his study. In front of him was an extremely small object condensing. A total of trillions of layers of structures combined to form the most basic "Snake Ring Origin Power Structure Model." This was also the most difficult of the six evolution models required for a Tier 10 Origin Lifeform of the Tianmang Evolution Method.

Xu Jingming looked at it. It was so small that even a Starry Sky Lifeform would have difficulty seeing it, but Xu Jingming clearly saw its beauty.

"I succeeded," Xu Jingming whispered softly, "Next, I can start ascending to Tier 10."
