Chapter 109 Cross-Universe Domain Battle

Xu Jingming transformed into a meteor, descending onto a desolate planet. *Boom.*

At the summit of a high mountain, Xu Jingming, with a shield on his back, gazed into the distance. On another mountain peak not far away stood a gaunt old man. The old man wore a close-fitting robe, as if he were attending a grand event, but behind him floated a full 39 black spears.

"Mr. Wu Ming, I am very pleased to be able to fight against you," the gaunt old man, Mang Fei, said with a slight smile. "Seeing you with a shield on your back, are you planning to use shield techniques against me? It seems I won't have the opportunity to experience Mr. Wu Ming's spear techniques."

"Using spear techniques, I don't have the slightest chance of winning," Xu Jingming said humbly. "Only with shield techniques might I have a chance. This old man "Mang Fei" before him also had his true identity concealed!

But he had participated in the Cosmic Legend battle for over 1200 years, using over a thousand years to grow from an ordinary eighth-order limit to the current ninth in the Hunter Cosmic Domain!

Someone with such a high ranking, even if they hadn't participated in the selection of the Mysterious Land, would definitely be recruited by some top forces, at least obtaining a cosmic legend-level inheritance, and perhaps even a supreme inheritance. After all, there were quite a few supreme inheritances.

Someone in the top ten of the Hunter Cosmic Domain must have skills and a heart close to the limit; without special circumstances, they were individuals who could become Origin Lives.

"In terms of attack, I am inferior to him." Xu Jingming understood this point very well. "But an overly fierce and violent attack must have shortcomings in defense. That is my opportunity."

"This Wu Ming is rumored to have only cultivated the evolutionary method for thirty years, his talent far surpassing mine. I have cultivated for over 8000 years, always thinking of rushing into the first place in the Hunter Cosmic Domain and then becoming an Origin Life," Mang Fei thought to himself. "But seeing such an unparalleled genius, I fear that it won't be long before he quickly surpasses me. Perhaps, it's time to become an Origin Life."

He had reached the threshold to become an Origin Life in both his physical body and his mind.

But he wasn't in a hurry, continuing to pursue even higher limits of skill. But Xu Jingming's brilliance was too dazzling, his progress too rapid. Mang Fei vaguely understood that his pursuit of the first place in the Hunter Cosmic Domain was probably hopeless.

"But I have cultivated for over 8000 years, while he has only cultivated for 30 years. I am still qualified to suppress him a bit." Mang Fei's entire body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. He transformed into a being of light. His physical body was converted into energy!

"The types of cosmic force are countless." Mang Fei, transformed into a being of light, had dazzling eyes. He looked at Xu Jingming, his voice echoing throughout the planet. "Borrowing external forces can far surpass oneself."

*Rumble…*

A huge dark vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, and endless cosmic force poured through the dark vortex, all merging into Mang Fei's body.

Mang Fei stood there, and an incomparably huge human figure appeared behind him! The figure, hundreds of kilometers tall, was entirely composed of dense cosmic force. "Using one's own power to leverage cosmic force." Xu Jingming watched this scene.

Although it was still inferior to the vast and boundless power that an Origin Life could leverage, the amount of external force that Mang Fei could mobilize as an eighth-order limit… also amazed Xu Jingming.

"In mobilizing external forces, I am far inferior to him," Xu Jingming understood this point. This was the aspect that the other party excelled at the most; it was normal for him to be inferior. "Mr. Mang Fei, please!"

Xu Jingming already held a shield in each hand. As soon as he finished speaking, endless light gathered from all directions, converging on his entire body. Xu Jingming also transformed into a being of light, but the power he absorbed did not leak out at all, all converging into his body.

Obviously, he had a completely different style from Mang Fei. Mang Fei pursued the extreme degree of mobilizing external forces. Xu Jingming pursued perfect control of all power, using close combat to face the enemy.

"Hahaha…" Mang Fei laughed loudly. The giant light figure behind him, hundreds of kilometers tall, held a spear hundreds of kilometers long in its hand, and suddenly threw it out. *Boom!!!*

The spear tore through the sky, arriving almost instantly at Xu Jingming's location. Xu Jingming's figure was like a phantom, evading this huge spear, hundreds of kilometers long.

The spear, like light, slammed into the high mountain, causing the high mountain to completely shatter into powder. The spear had already pierced deep into the earth, and the earth's tectonic plates rumbled and vibrated, the power spreading out and affecting a range of thousands of kilometers.

And the giant human light figure moved extremely quickly. Just after throwing out one spear, it immediately grasped the second spear and threw it out. One spear after another!

In less than a second, a full 39 spears, hundreds of kilometers long, all shot out, bombarding the area where Xu Jingming was located.

This area was blasted into a huge pit with a range of hundreds of kilometers. The terrifying impact force affected the landmasses of the entire planet. Xu Jingming, with dreamlike and illusory movements, evaded most of the spears. Even if he couldn't evade, he used the shield in his hand to block them.

Upon contact, after being weakened by the shield, Xu Jingming was merely shaken and retreated, without being injured himself.

"What a terrifying area-of-effect attack." Xu Jingming held dual shields, using them to block twice. The other times, he relied on his movements to evade.

"The movement techniques of the Primordial Research Institute lineage are indeed formidable," Mang Fei said with a smile. The giant figure behind him suddenly extended arms, a full thirty-nine arms, all grasping the spears in the earth.

Thirty-nine arms, holding thirty-nine spears. "Destruction!" Mang Fei softly uttered two words.

The giant figure, as if alive, charged towards Xu Jingming!

Such a giant, with thirty-nine arms and thirty-nine spears, hundreds of kilometers long, stabbed toward Xu Jingming. Each strike was like a small planet colliding with a planet, possessing the might to destroy all life on the surface of a planet.

The 39 spears, like pillars of heaven, were even larger than many cosmic warships. Some cosmic warships, in front of them, would probably be pierced through in an instant. Each spear was as fast as lightning, and the 39 spears transformed into countless afterimages. The spear afterimages covered the sky and the earth! "Come on." Xu Jingming's figure moved. The last time the two sides engaged in close combat, he used his shield to block twice, testing the power of these spears. This time, Xu Jingming began to unleash his movement techniques to the limit.

Perhaps due to the *Primordial Star Conjecture - Light Chapter*, Xu Jingming's progress in movement techniques had been the greatest over the years. "*Buzz*."

When Xu Jingming moved, the flow of time around him slowed down, and space was distorted. Clearly, these spears were extremely dense, with no flaws, but when the flow of time changed and space was distorted, flaws appeared.

Xu Jingming transformed into a flowing light, flowing between the gaps in the spears' attacks, occasionally using the shield to block. Each collision between the two sides produced terrifying aftershocks.

"Amazing."

"The clash between the ninth and eleventh in the Hunter Cosmic Domain is truly terrifying." "Ordinary eighth-order limits wouldn't be able to withstand even one move in front of them, right?"

"They have almost reached the highest theoretical combat power level of eighth-order cosmic lifeforms. Even the one ranked first in the entire universe might only be stronger than them by one or two levels?"

"A difference of one level might be the difference between first and tenth place in the Hunter Cosmic Domain." Countless spectators watched intently. The number of online viewers had already exceeded 6 billion. After all, Mang Fei also had a large number of fans, and Xu Jingming's fans were constantly entering the live broadcast room to watch the battle.

Some seventh- and eighth-orders could directly watch the battle. With their brain's processing speed, watching wasn't a problem. And those with weaker strength? They had to watch the 'slow motion'.

"Mang Fei's attack is fierce enough, and the cosmic force he mobilizes is also vast enough. Those ranked behind 100 in the Hunter Cosmic Domain wouldn't be able to withstand such a frantic attack," Chi Tong said, admiringly. "I wouldn't be able to withstand it either."

"You can't withstand it either?" Qi Xiao smiled. "Aren't you very confident?"

"I participate in the Cosmic Legend battle relatively rarely," Chi Tong said. "Look at my junior brother, this movement technique… He must have contemplated the Primordial Star quite a bit, to have already begun to affect time and space. Slightly affecting time and space allows him to evade 99% of the attacks. The remaining ones can all be resisted with shield techniques." Qi Xiao nodded.

Her boyfriend's 'Junior Brother Wu Ming' had truly inconceivable movement techniques.

"Faced with such movement techniques, he could kill me with one move. I wouldn't even be able to touch him," Qi Xiao said with emotion.

"Mang Fei's strength is not limited to this," Chi Tong observed. Compared to these two, his actual combat ability was somewhat inferior, but after all, he was close to their level, and could see more of the undercurrents in the battle.

"Binding!" Mang Fei said softly.

Xu Jingming, who had been fighting with the giant hundreds of kilometers tall, suddenly felt the surrounding air as if it had solidified, and he encountered enormous resistance even when moving.

"As expected of Mang Fei." Before the fight, Xu Jingming had studied many of the opponent's combat videos. This was why he had chosen dual shields. "He leverages cosmic force to gather a giant hundreds of kilometers tall. That is just the surface! There is a lot of cosmic force he mobilizes with the giant at the center, affecting the surroundings."

"Close combat with the giant, and the invisible cosmic force also affects the surroundings, quietly forming an energy web with a range of hundreds of kilometers." "Any movement I make within the energy web will be subject to enormous resistance." With the resistance increasing, Xu Jingming's movement techniques greatly weakened. Mang Fei watched this scene from afar. He had long been accustomed to it, with vast forces intertwined like countless threads, controlling that area! It was naturally difficult for the enemy to win when trapped in this web. "*Peng peng peng.*"

Spears continued to stab down frantically. Xu Jingming's movement techniques could only evade a small portion of the spears now; the rest needed to be resisted with the shield. *Rumble~~~~* What a terrifying attack! The world-destroying spears continued non-stop!

Mang Fei remotely continued to guide the cosmic force. The vast vortex above him rotated slowly, maximizing his frantic attack! "Hmm?" Mang Fei frowned slightly under the continuous attacks.

Although Xu Jingming's mobilization of power was not as good as Mang Fei's, it was completely concentrated on himself, perfectly controlled. At this moment, his majestic power grasped the dual shields, and the movement of the dual shields was like light and shadow, repeatedly resisting the spears.

"Movement techniques are like light and shadow, traveling through time and space. Shield techniques also have changes in time and space." Xu Jingming never used head-on collision tactics. Each time they collided, most of the enemy's power was unloaded. "He has withstood the full three minutes of frantic attacks?" Mang Fei felt a slight throbbing in his head, and his offensive also slowed down slightly. "It must be a great mental burden to constantly mobilize such vast power, right?" Xu Jingming's voice echoed everywhere. Mang Fei was stunned. "It's my turn."

Xu Jingming suddenly charged forward, heading straight for Mang Fei's real body in the distance.

"Hmph." Seeing this, Mang Fei controlled the giant, thirty-nine spears stabbing and slashing again and again, intercepting Xu Jingming like a spear forest. Xu Jingming's movement techniques changed, and when the shield collided with the spears, he borrowed the force to continue moving forward. These spears couldn't stop Xu Jingming.

"*Whoosh*." Mang Fei transformed into a stream of light and flew backward.

While flying backward, he remotely controlled the giant. "Explode!" Mang Fei's mind moved.

The giant hundreds of kilometers tall, as well as the binding energy surrounding it, suddenly exploded! The explosion at that moment made the planet seem to have a dazzling 'sun'!

At the center of the explosion, in a range of two to three hundred kilometers, a huge mushroom cloud rose into outer space, and shockwaves swept across the entire planet. The spears also shot out in all directions. The maximum energy that Mang Fei could mobilize, combined with the "maximized power" explosion method, was enough to destroy an eighth-order limit cosmic lifeform. "Hmm?"

Mang Fei's expression suddenly changed. He saw it.

In the very center of the explosion, Xu Jingming used the dual shields in his hands as a framework, and even more invisible light extended, covering every part of his entire body. These rays of light converged to form a miniature planet. Xu Jingming himself was inside the miniature planet. The miniature planet was the appearance of the Primordial Star.

"He blocked the destructive explosion? And he wasn't even injured?" Mang Fei knew that things were not good.

After blocking the strongest first wave of the explosion, Xu Jingming continued to rush toward Mang Fei. Mang Fei was also escaping very quickly, but he was not as fast as Xu Jingming, and the distance was rapidly shortening.

"What strong movement techniques, what strong shield techniques… and your control over cosmic force is also so exquisite?" "Mang Fei knew he couldn't escape, so he stopped. "To be able to withstand such a large-scale explosion!"

Ordinary opponents of the same level would be seriously injured even if they survived the explosion. Unlike Xu Jingming, who completely withstood the explosion with his miniature planet, Xu Jingming was unharmed.

"You pursue the strongest power, while I pursue the strongest control." Xu Jingming rushed close.

Mang Fei reached out and gently tapped, smiling! "I lost. Alas, staying in the eighth-order cosmic lifeform stage, it's impossible for me to win against you. Being able to fight against you in my last Cosmic Legend battle is also my honor."

With Mang Fei's voluntary surrender, the battle ended.

"My last Cosmic Legend battle? What does Mang Fei mean?" "Is Mang Fei preparing to completely give up on the Cosmic Legend battle?" "Is he going to become an Origin Life?" "Wu Ming's battle has forced Mang Fei to become an Origin Life?" Countless cosmic citizen viewers discussed.

Having reached this level of strength, they were not surprised at all that he could become an Origin Life. What was surprising was… this had become Mang Fei's last Cosmic Legend battle. "He gave up on the Cosmic Legend battle?" Hearing the other party's words, Xu Jingming guessed what he meant, and was also a little surprised.

Little did he know that Mang Fei had already had the idea of withdrawing before this battle. "Actually, he is very strong. If I had used spear techniques, I wouldn't have been able to withstand his attack at all," Xu Jingming thought. On the planet, which had been devastated by the explosion, Xu Jingming had not yet withdrawn from the battle world scene when he received an email from the system. Xu Jingming gently tapped it. The content of the email was very simple--

"Mr. Wu Ming, in view of your reaching tenth place in the Hunter Cosmic Domain, you will obtain the authority to challenge the top ten of other cosmic domains. Starting today, you have the right to engage in cross-cosmic domain battles (your login device has no latency throughout the universe, there is no need to replace the login device)." "Cross-cosmic domain battles?" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

"I heard a long time ago that the top ten in each cosmic domain are qualified to engage in cross-cosmic domain battles. 34 cosmic domains, which means 340 strongest experts clashing," Xu Jingming looked forward to it. He tapped the personal panel.

He gently tapped--Challenge!

"Challenge successful. Tomorrow at 20:50, you will fight against the 'Lord of Thousand Mountains' from the Guhe Cosmic Domain," the system prompted. At the same time--

The entire *Life Evolution Game* platform also issued an announcement:

"Cross-Cosmic Domain Peak Battle: Wu Ming of the Hunter Cosmic Domain vs. Lord of Thousand Mountains of the Guhe Cosmic Domain. (Reservations for watching are available!)"

There were four similar announcements.

Almost every day, there were several cross-cosmic domain battles!

These kinds of battles would also have extremely high popularity, because viewers from many cosmic domains would be watching. "Big Brother Wu Ming is also going to start cross-cosmic domain battles? Wow, exciting!" x100. This message was displayed on the entire platform. And it was displayed a hundred times! Clearly it was his old buddy Qu Fang.

……

In the Cosmic Legend battle, there was a unique method for calculating combat power. Although he had defeated the ninth in the Hunter Cosmic Domain once, Xu Jingming's combat power only increased by a notch, and he only became tenth in his cosmic domain.

But with this, he possessed the qualification for cross-cosmic domain battles, and Xu Jingming was still quite excited. Before, challenging someone was too difficult.

Now with cross-cosmic domains? With a larger range, it was much easier to challenge someone.

After conducting a Cosmic Legend battle and then participating in some random team matches, Xu Jingming ended the broadcast. He currently had very few 'Cosmic Legend battle' attempts. There was no way around it; he could only fill the gaps with team matches.

"Today, I should be able to conduct the mental strength test, right? Let's go take the test first." Xu Jingming arrived at the Primordial Research Institute's virtual world.

On this island, there were only six outer members now. After all, Senior Brother Gu Shan and Senior Sister Mo Yu had previously become Origin Lives. "Master," the intelligent robot Hunter 1027 immediately came to greet him. Xu Jingming nodded and headed to the cultivation room. Inside the cultivation room.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged and began to fully release his mental power, impacting the walls of the cultivation room. *Buzz*~~ The walls of the cultivation room were vibrating slightly. An invisible force enveloped the cultivation room, analyzing Xu Jingming's mental power. After about three minutes. "There are results." Xu Jingming was also quite expectant. After all, he could only apply for a test once every 330 days. The evaluation results appeared before his eyes--

"Mental Power Index: 9991."
