Chapter 1 Black Iron Star

It was nighttime on Black Iron Star.

While some areas of the noble district were still brightly lit with revelry, the suburbs were much quieter. Suddenly, ripples appeared in the night sky, and a man in black robes emerged, observing the planet. He noticed an estate thousands of miles away and smiled, "Senior Brother Yi Jiu, Senior Brother Jian, you came quickly."

With a single step, he arrived there.

Inside the estate.

The old man with a large head, Yi Jiu, and the stern Senior Brother Jian were sitting and drinking. They both turned to look at Xu Jingming, who had arrived.

"I live here. Junior Brother Jian arrived an hour ago," Yi Jiu said with a smile. "Junior Brother Wu Ming's space-time teleportation is truly impressive, directly entering the planet's atmosphere over such a long distance."

"It's just a small skill," Xu Jingming sniffed the air. "What fragrant wine."

"Quick, sit down and taste the fine wine personally brewed by Senior Brother Yi Jiu," Senior Brother Jian urged.

"Brewed by Senior Brother Yi Jiu?" Xu Jingming took a seat.

"With a long lifespan, besides evolution, one has to find some fun," Yi Jiu said cheerfully. "I enjoy drinking and brewing wine. The wine is made with the 'Crimson Cloud Fruit,' a specialty of the Crimson Cloud Auxiliary Universe, as the main ingredient." As he spoke, he placed a wine pot next to Xu Jingming.

"A specialty from within an auxiliary universe?" Xu Jingming immediately poured and drank a mouthful.

He immediately felt a strange aroma assaulting his brain. Xu Jingming's eyes widened. "What a strong kick."

"Only Origin Life forms can handle it. For Starry Sky Life forms, their bodies couldn't withstand it," Yi Jiu said.

"Crimson Cloud Auxiliary Universe?" Senior Brother Jian asked. "Is that the Crimson Cloud God?"

Yi Jiu nodded.

"Who is the Crimson Cloud God?" Xu Jingming asked.

"A very ancient alien high-dimensional life form," Senior Brother Jian explained. "He died about five hundred million years ago. Because he returned to his home universe when he died, his internal universe dispersed after his death, transforming into individual 'auxiliary universe spaces' scattered throughout the universe. Senior Brother Yi Jiu and the others once discovered a Crimson Cloud auxiliary universe space."

"Luck," Yi Jiu said with a smile. "Discovering it is one thing, but you still have to develop it."

"I heard that one must reach the 'Eternal Realm' of a high-dimensional life form to have an internal universe," Xu Jingming said.

He didn't know much about high-dimensional life forms, mainly relying on the information recorded in the Primordial Research Institute's database.

"That's right."

Yi Jiu nodded. "It's like building an 'auxiliary space' inside a spaceship, or carrying an 'auxiliary space' within a Primordial Battle Armor. After becoming a high-dimensional life form, those great beings also try to open up a universe within their bodies."

"Opening up space is nothing, but opening up a universe is very difficult," Senior Brother Jian also said.

"With an internal universe, the internal universe constantly absorbs external energy to grow! And high-dimensional life forms... can mobilize the energy of their internal universe," Yi Jiu said. "In an instant, they can mobilize the power of the internal universe to fight, naturally terrifying beyond compare. It is precisely because of this source, the 'internal universe,' that they can be considered to have reached the 'Eternal' realm, able to live for an infinitely long lifespan."

"For newly advanced high-dimensional life forms, just maintaining the constant consumption of such a huge life form is not easy," Yi Jiu said. "Some of the Supreme Realm experts born in the history of our human race have died in racial wars, while others have died in high-dimensional spaces! Without reaching the 'Eternal Realm,' high-dimensional life forms... can easily encounter accidents."

Xu Jingming nodded.

As an older generation expert and the strongest guardian of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain, Senior Brother Yi Jiu knew many secrets that Xu Jingming and Senior Brother Jian did not.

"Haha, of course, for us, we should first strive to achieve the first step: becoming a high-dimensional life form," Yi Jiu said with a smile. "Only then will we be qualified to talk about opening up an internal universe."

"Our first step is to become a Cosmic Legend," Senior Brother Jian said with a faint smile.

"Junior Brother Jian and Junior Brother Wu Ming, you two are young, so you have a high chance of becoming Cosmic Legends," Yi Jiu said. "I'm less optimistic."

"Senior Brother, you are distracted by two kinds of high-dimensional powers, both of which have reached extremely high levels. I believe you will definitely become a Cosmic Legend," Senior Brother Jian said, admiring Yi Jiu.

"One kind of high-dimensional power encountered a bottleneck, so I comprehended another completely different high-dimensional power, hoping to promote each other..." Yi Jiu shook his head. "I don't know if my choice is right or wrong. Let's not talk about that. Come, drink. After drinking, give me some feedback so I can improve my brewing."

Xu Jingming drank. "I think it's delicious. It would be even better if the taste was richer."

"I think it would be better if the kick was more intense," Senior Brother Jian said after drinking another cup.

...

From that day on, Xu Jingming and his two senior brothers lived in the same estate. Occasionally, they would gather to share delicious food and wine, talking about everything under the sun.

Xu Jingming gained a lot of knowledge from talking with his two senior brothers.

He also learned a lot about the secrets of high-dimensional life forms in the universe and some small circles within the Cosmic Human race.

As Xu Jingming grew, he formed his own circle of friends, such as Senior Brother Chi Tong, Senior Brother Gu Shan, and the seven people in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain: Senior Brother Yi Jiu, Senior Brother Jian, Senior Sister Qiong Yu, and so on.

On the ninth day on Black Iron Star.

Xu Jingming was in his study, watching a light screen and studying information about the Serpent Ring Model. Senior Brother Jian was sitting in a corner of the estate, painting seriously, while Senior Brother Yi Jiu had rolled up his sleeves and was barefoot, brewing wine.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming's eyes suddenly sharpened, and with a whoosh, his entire body disappeared into thin air.

"Junior Brother Wu Ming left?"

Senior Brother Jian, who was painting, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu, who was brewing wine, both noticed.

"Junior Brother Wu Ming is good at high-dimensional travel and space-time teleportation. This task is also arduous," Senior Brother Yi Jiu sighed.

"I envy Junior Brother for being able to kill more Hell Clan members and save more lives," Senior Brother Jian said.

******

Since Xu Jingming's mind power reached the tenth level, the maximum distance of a single space-time teleportation reached a terrifying 1.08 billion light-years. Although this task was more than 1.9 billion light-years away from Xu Jingming, he arrived in nearby space after only two space-time teleports.

Xu Jingming appeared about one or two light-years away from the destination. This was to prevent some Hell Clan Monarchs from launching long-range attacks!

Then, he used high-dimensional travel.

"It's them."

The moment he entered the high-dimensional space, Xu Jingming saw a spherical area of ​​space with a diameter of 12.8 light-years. This piece of space was like a model.

Xu Jingming also saw the life planet in the "model" and the two ninth-level Hell Clan lords on that life planet.

"Two ninth-level Hell Clan members?" Xu Jingming's eyes were cold.

Whoosh.

He descended in an instant.

...

This life planet had just experienced a "catastrophe" and welcomed two ninth-level Hell Clan lords for a massive looting. But just then, a figure appeared in the planet's atmosphere.

When he appeared, he was like a star, turning into a dazzling light person!

The light shone in all directions, illuminating the two ninth-level Hell Clan lords within a range of tens of thousands of miles.

"This?" The two ninth-level Hell Clan lords didn't have time to react.

Because when this terrifying existence descended, the surrounding tens of thousands of miles had already fallen into the realm of light! In an instant, the surrounding "Source Power" structure changed, and naturally turned into light.

There was no need for the transmission of light.

Light formed directly around them!

"It's a tenth-level Origin Life form."

"Ahhh!"

The two ninth-level Hell Clan members looked up in horror, looking at the "light person" figure in the center of the endless light, as if looking at them from afar.

Their bodies decomposed into nothingness under the light and died on the spot.

Xu Jingming silently watched this scene.

Endless Domain was Xu Jingming's trick when he reached the tenth-level peak. If he was willing, he could instantly form an endless domain with a diameter of about 300,000 kilometers. And the light of the Endless Domain could flow and expand, expanding to a diameter of more than ten million kilometers, which was almost the limit.

Moreover, some of the light in the Endless Domain was condensed with the Laser Source Power Structure Model, and laser beams were hidden in the endless light.

Therefore, the two Hell Clan members seemed to be illuminated by endless light! But they were also penetrated by lasers. Even with weapons and armor, their bodies were instantly destroyed.

After all, the Endless Domain was mainly a domain, meant for suppression and restraint! Even at the tenth-level peak, some ninth-level Hell Clan members with stronger bodies could survive in terms of destructive power. But "lasers" were incredibly condensed pure destruction! Lasers that had reached the tenth-level peak were enough to injure tenth-level Hell Clan Monarchs, let alone ninth-level Hell Clan members? Naturally, they were easily destroyed.

The Endless Domain, coupled with the laser model, was extremely efficient in dealing with the weak within a certain range.

Even though Xu Jingming was good at the space-time lineage of moves, he still liked to use light to slaughter Hell Clan members!

"Huff."

All the light converged, and Xu Jingming, who was originally like a god of light, returned to his normal appearance. Dressed in a black robe, he looked at the lonely life planet and sighed softly.

Xu Jingming collected the relics left by the two ninth-level Hell Clan members and sent a message to the Primordial Research Institute: "Task completed!"

Immediately, the second task arrived instantly, in the same Star Alliance.

"Huff."

Xu Jingming immediately crossed the distant space-time, traversing 280 million light-years, and arrived near the destination. With another "high-dimensional travel," he arrived beside the enemy. The three ninth-level Hell Clan members had just finished looting.

"Get on the spaceship quickly, get ready to leave." The three ninth-level Hell Clan members were about to board the ship. The spaceship was ready and could warp through the wormhole at any time.

But at this moment, a figure descended, the light shrouded hundreds of thousands of miles, covering the three of them and the spaceship.

The three of them were extremely angry and terrified.

In the endless light, the three Hell Clan lords were destroyed in anger and terror and turned into nothingness!

High-dimensional travel to get close, and then use the tenth-level peak move to deal with the ninth level, it was indeed enough to solve the Hell Clan ninth-levels in one second. That's why Xu Jingming had time to intercept and kill two places in a row.

...

Every wave of looting by the Hell Clan was carried out in multiple locations at the same time! Xu Jingming waited for an hour and a half and then waited for another assassination mission. This time, he only intercepted one place. When he arrived at the second place, the Hell Clan had already escaped.

"Two waves of looting, is it over?" Xu Jingming waited patiently, but no more orders came. The Primordial Research Institute also notified him that they estimated that this Hell Clan team had given up and started to retreat.

******

On the border of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain, on a modified planet, there was only one Hell Clan member—Monarch Mo You.

He was sitting on the throne in the castle, closing his eyes. Illusory ripples were slowly released from his eyes, naturally covering the entire planet. Reality and illusion were confused on the planet.

What was real and what was fake?

"Hmm?"

Monarch Mo You opened his eyes. A light curtain appeared in front of him, and messages appeared on the light curtain.

The Hell Clan had built a "virtual world" on a small scale in the front line, covering only hundreds of millions of light-years! This allowed the Hell Clan's front-line leaders to communicate better.

Monarch Mo You frowned slightly as he looked at the message on the light curtain: "Lord Cang Feng's team only carried out two waves of looting and eight lords were killed in battle? Every wave encountered efficient interception, suspecting they encountered the Dark Gun? "

"This is the front-line area. Isn't the Dark Gun always hiding in the middle and rear of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain?" Monarch Mo You thought.

The Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain was a vast cosmic domain. If the Hell Clan went too deep into the human territory, it would be more difficult to escape. Therefore... the deeper they went, the lower the frequency of looting would be.

Before Xu Jingming, he was mainly in the central area of ​​the Heavenly Python Cosmic Domain.

The front line was much more tragic! Of course, many life planets on the front line were places where serious criminals were exiled. Many cosmic criminals were transported here on a large scale to be responsible for reclamation and construction.

"This Dark Gun has come to the front line?" Anticipation flashed in Monarch Mo You's emerald green eyes. "Maybe I can meet him."
