Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 38 The Death of the Black Serpent Sovereign
More than a minute after Monarch Moyou left, ripples appeared in the starry sky, and a spaceship arrived, traversing space and time.
Two figures stood inside the spaceship, none other than Mister Jian and Yi Jiu.
"Monarch Moyou has already left," Mister Jian said, his eyes reflecting the cosmic starry sky, every corner under his scrutiny.
"Having learned his lesson last time, Monarch Moyou will flee immediately once exposed," Yi Jiu said calmly. This was entirely within his expectations. His cooperation with Mister Jian was terrifying.
Monarch Moyou was unwilling to fight these two. The taste of the 'Nightmare World' being annihilated was not pleasant.
Mister Jian spoke, "Since we injured Monarch Moyou, the number of times he has taken action has dropped sharply. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have acted again so quickly."
"Is he targeting Junior Brother Wu Ming?" Yi Jiu speculated.
"We must be careful to guard against this. If Junior Brother Wu Ming dies and loses the high-dimensional treasure, it will be troublesome," Mister Jian said. "Moreover, Monarch 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 experience. Although they were more cautious and equipped with powerful technological weapons, there were still casualties.
Although some could be resurrected.
But those with less merit, the elderly, would truly die.
The human ninth-level source lifeforms could not oppose the war orders, so they were forced to work 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 they were killed, they would still be resurrected.
Of course, tenth-level source lifeforms were unwilling to be 'resurrected.'
Because death would result in the loss of all carried items, and corresponding merits would be deducted upon resurrection! Even if the merits were insufficient, they would be deducted into a negative number. After dying a few times, one could go bankrupt.

Black Iron Star, within the manor.
"You suspect that Monarch 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 interception, 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 interception, you will also bring us two," Yi Jiu said. "If you encounter Monarch Moyou, you can drop us two 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 fusing with high-dimensional objects," Yi Jiu said. "So Junior Brother Jian and I working together to completely annihilate a portion of the Nightmare World will also pain him greatly."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
Just like the No. 9 Primordial Battle Armor uses high-dimensional power, it consumes the internal 'source matter'. Monarch Moyou's use of the Nightmare World consumes the high-dimensional object it has fused with. If part of the 'Nightmare World' is completely annihilated, the consumption will be even greater.
"His Nightmare World is deeply intertwined with his mental consciousness. Annihilating part of the Nightmare World will also cause his mental consciousness to suffer," Senior Brother Jian said.
"The borrowed high-dimensional power does indeed have many flaws," Xu Jingming said.
"On our human side, whether it's the numbered Primordial Battle Armor or some high-dimensional weapons, they don't cause any harm to ourselves," Yi Jiu said. "The Prison Clan directly integrates high-dimensional objects into their bodies, and the backlash is greater. Precisely because of this, the Prison Clan masters of high-dimensional power are more numerous, and many of them are crazy and have very low self-control."
"Those crazy ones rarely go to the battlefield," Senior Brother Jian said. "Because when they go crazy, they won't obey orders and may even attack their own kind."
"High-dimensional objects directly integrated into the body?" Xu Jingming shook his head. "That's insane."
No human tenth-level source lifeform would do that.
"The Prison Clan's evolutionary method is very special to be able to do this. Even so, the probability of losing control is very high. If we human source lifeforms were to integrate high-dimensional objects, eight or nine out of ten would go crazy," Senior Brother Jian said with a smile.
The three of them chatted, and Xu Jingming also gained knowledge.
…
Xu Jingming's interception range now covers one-third of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain, and it is also the 'most frequently plundered' area! Therefore, Xu Jingming would get tasks for over 70% of the Prison Clan's plundering actions, so the tasks were naturally frequent.
Only three days after Monarch Moyou took action, Xu Jingming received another task.
"There's a task, let's go."
With a thought, Xu Jingming took Senior Brother Jian, who was holding a paintbrush, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu, who was drunkenly drinking wine, with him.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
With just two space-time jumps, the three of Xu Jingming had already arrived in the 'Nine Peng Star Alliance', 1.87 billion light-years away. Including the time to calm the space-time fluctuations, the total time did not exceed 8 seconds.
"So fast."
"This is faster than the most advanced spaceship," Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu exclaimed. Xu Jingming, however, took them two through high-dimensional travel again, observing the Prison Clan from a high-dimensional perspective.
"There are two Prison Clan lords," Xu Jingming confirmed, and then descended directly.
Endless light enveloped! Illuminating this life planet that had just experienced a catastrophe!
"That is—"
The two Prison Clan lords looked up in horror, seeing the figure in the center of the light and the two companions next to him.
Under the endless light, there were also hidden lasers, and the terrifying lasers directly incinerated them.
"So fast," Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu exclaimed.
"We still have to go to the next place," Xu Jingming instantly collected the spoils and immediately rushed to the next plundered life planet.
After continuously intercepting two places, Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were completely spectators. After all, the ninth-level Prison Clan members of this strength did not need them to take action.
"If there are any more tasks, it will probably be the next wave of plundering," Xu Jingming relaxed and collected the spoils.
"I've seen Junior Brother Wu Ming's interception efficiency," Yi Jiu praised.
"I'm just bullying some Prison Clan ninth-levels," Xu Jingming said. After all, he might be able to suppress any Prison Clan tenth-level monarch, but killing them… was a very difficult task.
Senior Brother Jian said, "The Prison Clan ninth-levels are the greatest scourge to countless life planets. How many Prison Clan tenth-levels are there?"
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
Indeed, the Prison Clan's evolutionary model was very crazy. From birth, they were screened between life and death. The strong progressed further, and the weak died! The probability of the Prison Clan 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 Clan.
Becoming a high-dimensional lifeform was even more difficult than on the human side!
The three high-dimensional lifeforms currently living in the human race are all in the 'Eternal Realm', while the Prison Clan's most powerful 'Prison Clan Progenitor' is an outsider. As for the Prison Clan itself… it has never given birth to an 'Eternal Realm' high-dimensional lifeform in history. This is also the defect of the Prison Clan's evolutionary path.
"I really hope that the scene of being plundered and massacred by alien races will no longer appear," Xu Jingming said, looking at this life planet.
"Then we have to become stronger, so strong that no alien race dares to plunder and attack," Senior Brother Yi Jiu said.
"The strength of high-dimensional lifeforms is the strength of the cosmic race. We are just a grain of sand in the river of time," Senior Brother Jian said. "Ten thousand years pass, and if you don't become a high-dimensional lifeform, you will all turn to dust."
Xu Jingming and Yi Jiu nodded.
This is also why the three Supreme Realms rarely interfere in the affairs of the human race. After all, due to lifespan reasons, humans are replaced generation after generation! Only high-dimensional lifeforms can live long and truly influence the fate of the race.
"The Nine Peng Star Alliance's connecting star has discovered the Prison Clan's 'Black Serpent Monarch'. Tenth-level source lifeform 'Fatelans' is in a dangerous situation. Please rush to the rescue immediately." A task message suddenly came, and all three of Xu Jingming received the message.
"Black Serpent Monarch? We didn't encounter Monarch Moyou, but we encountered Black Serpent Monarch?"
"Coming together was the right choice."
Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were a little surprised.
"Let's go."
Xu Jingming was also very surprised, and immediately took Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu to the connecting star. This Black Serpent Monarch was one of the six strongest monarchs of the Prison Clan in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain, and also controlled high-dimensional power.
Although he was not listed among the top ten monarchs of the Prison Clan, he was still a master of high-dimensional power and was very difficult to deal with.
If it was just Xu Jingming alone, he would naturally avoid him from afar, but with the two senior brothers, Xu Jingming was still full of confidence.
******
The connecting 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 this 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 Monarch." Fatelans was also wearing a Primordial Battle Armor. At this moment, his whole body burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings. And there were layers of time and space surrounding him.
Thousands of dense layers of 'space-time layers' formed a cocoon-like creation, protecting Fatelans and resisting the erosion of the black water.
As a tenth-level source lifeform who 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, the 'Third Generation Space-Time Cocoon' he was using at the moment could be said to have brought the tricks within the normal cosmic space-time to the extreme.
Ordinary space-time protection cannot resist erosion?
Then stack them! Stack all kinds of space-time layers! This technological weapon has very high requirements for knowledge in 'space-time', and Fatelans naturally possessed it.
"Chi Chi Chi." The space-time cocoon, which was only three meters high, had layers of space-time layers inside. Fatelans observed the erosion speed of the surrounding black water, and his face was ugly.
"High-dimensional power is really different. Even the extremely protective space-time cocoon 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 Monarch won't let me resist." Fatelans saw that in the endless black water, a black snake condensed, and the huge snake head opened its bloody mouth, wanting to swallow the space-time cocoon in one bite.
"Boom."
Fatelans' eyes were full of madness, and the light on his body surface rose sharply. The impact force suddenly soared, and he exploded through the layers of black water, flashing thousands of kilometers away, dodging the snake's mouth, but soon more black water entangled and bound him again.
"I'll see how many times you can dodge." On the black water planet, the black snake swallowed again.
Just then—
Without any warning, three figures appeared out of thin air on the surface of the life planet covered by black water, only dozens of kilometers away from the black water.
"Hmm?" The Black Serpent Monarch was startled. "I didn't even notice? How did they appear?"
The Black Serpent Monarch's mental power could not detect high-dimensional space, so Xu Jingming's high-dimensional travel and descent caught him completely unprepared.
The Black Serpent Monarch saw the three people in front of him.
The man wearing a black robe, according to intelligence, was the mysterious guardian 'Dark Gunslinger'. His true identity in the human race was still unknown, and it was suspected that a high-ranking human source lifeform had changed his appearance and aura.
The Black Serpent Monarch recognized the other two at a glance, which made him panic.
Because one of these two was Mister Jian, who was best at trapping enemies, and the other was Yi Jiu, who possessed two high-dimensional powers and was extremely terrifying in frontal combat.
"Crap." Just as the Black Serpent Monarch wanted to escape, he discovered that the surrounding space-time was changing.
This starry sky seemed to be reflected by mirrors, layer upon layer.
Hundreds of layers of starry sky enveloped him, like a huge space-time maze. The Black Serpent Monarch could not find a way to leave, nor could he sense the outside world.
"I'm trapped." The Black Serpent Monarch's heart turned cold.
The Nightmare World transformed by Monarch Moyou was invisible and vast in scope, and the space-time maze could not completely seal it off. But the Black Serpent Monarch's 'black water' could only spread a limited distance, not to mention that it was only over 100,000 kilometers just now, and it was instantly trapped to death.
At the same time, layers of space-time suppressed it, and the extremely heavy pressure was enough to suppress most Prison Clan monarchs to death.
The Black Serpent Monarch, although able to withstand the suppression, was also greatly weakened.
"Black Serpent Monarch." Under the heavy space-time suppression, Yi Jiu stepped towards him, which made the Black Serpent Monarch completely chilled.
"How could it be so fast? I haven't dealt with Fatelans for long, and they two have arrived. Are they two in this star alliance? Or is it because of that mysterious guardian?" At this moment, many thoughts flashed through the Black Serpent Monarch's mind.
……
Xu Jingming and Fatelans stood in the starry sky, looking at the connecting star from afar.
Around the connecting star, the mirror world was suppressed layer upon 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 also helping.
"Roar~~~"
The Black Serpent Monarch was like a madman, struggling for five seconds in the core of the mirror world, and was finally hammered into nothingness by Senior Brother Yi Jiu's fist.
"So fast." Xu Jingming and Fatelans were both amazed.
The terrifying Prison Clan monarch 'Black Serpent Monarch', who neither of them could match head-on, was finished in five seconds in the face of Senior Brother Jian and Yi Jiu's joint attack.
The mirror world dissipated.
With one step, Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were already in front of them.
"Junior Brother." Senior Brother Yi Jiu smiled and stretched out his hand. "This is the high-dimensional object fused by the Black Serpent Monarch. 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. Within the black water, there were vaguely billions of living beings floating and perishing. 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, would only bring endless misfortune.
