531 Return
Sovereign Uke had received detailed information from Sovereign Moyou. He knew very well that this mysterious human power had fought Hellion Origin lifeforms many tis in the past three years! This mysterious powerhouse could easily kill a Lv. 9 Hellion.
If he encountered a Lv. 10? This mysterious expert wouldn’t hesitate to escape!
In terms of warping, even Lv. 10 Hellions couldn’t catch up.
“Sovereign Uke, you have to trap him imdiately and capture him alive,” Sovereign Moyou had exhorted him previously.
Sovereign Uke was well-prepared. Therefore, when he saw Xu Jingming appear in space 0.18 light-years away, he had already made a move.
…
The mont Xu Jingming appeared, he felt the surrounding space turn into a cage! The distorted cage was over 10,000 kiloters in diater, completely isolating him from the outside world.
It’s a Lv. 10. Xu Jingming imdiately realized the strength of his opponent. “Moreover, it’s stronger than the Lv. 10s I previously encountered.”
Attacking from afar was the basic move of a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform! Their control over spaceti had reached a very high level; it was very common for them to flatten a planet from half a light-year away.
Although they were 0.18 light-years apart, many of Sovereign Uke’s moves had already descended upon Xu Jingming.
This was also the reason why Xu Jingming fled whenever he encountered a Lv. 10. It was because he couldn’t touch the other party at all, but the other party could attack from afar.
I can’t defeat Lv. 10. I need to leave! Xu Jingming imdiately wanted to teleport away, but the spaceti cage suddenly froze, freezing space and his entire body. He couldn’t move at all, as if he were a statue.
As he froze, the tentacle projections seeped into his body.
Xu Jingming was immobile! He was like a sculpture without any thought!
“Hmph.” Sovereign Uke looked up and watched this scene from afar. He used the tentacle in his body to completely envelop Xu Jingming’s location with his consciousness.
The high-dinsional strength contained in the tentacle made a complete intrusion!
The spaceti cage was only superficial; the interior of the cage was actually an intrusion of high-dinsional forces. It completely froze and invaded his adversary’s mind and consciousness.
…
“High-dinsional force intrusion detected…”
“Master has lost consciousness.”
“Activating backup plan—Return!”
The motionless, sculpture-like Xu Jingming suddenly emitted colorful streams of light.
Whoosh!
The colorful streams of light wrapped around him and instantly teleported him out of the spaceti cage, disappearing from Sovereign Uke’s detection range.
“What?” Sovereign Uke teleported and arrived beside the spaceti cage. He carefully examined his surroundings in disbelief for dozens of light years. He searched repeatedly, but he couldn’t detect any traces of the colorful stream of light.
He can escape my intrusion? Sovereign Uke was in disbelief. How is this possible?
Spaceti was completely frozen. I didn’t sense him forcefully traversing spaceti. It felt like he just disappeared? He left through a high-dinsional tunnel? Sovereign Uke was very good at this aspect after all, and he vaguely deduced the truth behind Xu Jingming’s escape.
Leaving this spaceti and entering a higher-dinsional tunnel? How could I stop him? It can only happen if a Paramount takes action, Sovereign Uke thought.
Paramount existences were high-dinsional lifeforms. The high-dinsional tunnels that were very mysterious to Origin lifeforms like them were normal paths in front of high-dinsional lifeforms, so they could naturally intercept such ans of traveling easily.
We can’t see or sense the high-dinsional tunnel, much less intercept it. Sovereign Uke shook his head. Unless we capture him at close range, he will be able to grab any chances of escaping with such a powerful escape thod.
I scared him this ti. He will imdiately flee if sothing goes wrong in the future.
Sovereign Uke was very certain that he couldn’t capture the Dark Spearman at all. He imdiately sent a retreat signal to all his team mbers.
Since he couldn’t catch Xu Jingming, he didn’t want to waste ti here.
******
At the planet headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute, deep in the mountain where countless kinds of Primordial Battle Armor were hidden.
The spot where Xu Jingming had once received Primordial Battle Armor #9.
Whoosh.
A colorful stream of light descended, and colorful lights converged to reveal him.
Xu Jingming floated there motionless as if he had lost consciousness.
“What’s going on?” Secretary General Blacksky appeared to the side and frowned at the current Xu Jingming.
“Master encountered Sovereign Uke. He was invaded by high-dinsional forces. Although I blocked most of them and rushed back as soon as possible, the high-dinsional forces still affected Master.” Nine’s voice echoed in the surroundings.
Secretary General Blacksky nodded slightly.
All the Primordial Battle Armor was under his managent, so numbered battle armor was naturally included.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Secretary General Blacksky extended his right hand, and a gray stream of air was stripped from Xu Jingming’s body.
Secretary General Blacksky was a high-dinsional lifeform to begin with. Even if he could only use carriers, it was still very easy to strip out this trace of aura.
“Wh—” Only then did Xu Jingming regain consciousness and look around.
This is where I obtained the Primordial Battle Armor. Xu Jingming looked at the different-colored liquid droplets floating in the mountain. I was clearly in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, but I’m now back at the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute.
“Secretary General Blacksky.” Xu Jingming also saw his senior and imdiately bowed.
“It was Secretary General Blacksky who helped expel the high-dinsional traces from your body,” Nine explained.
“High-dinsional traces?” Xu Jingming was surprised.
Secretary General Blacksky nodded. “This is also the reason why you weren’t sent to the front lines. It’s easier to encounter powerhouses who have fused with high-dinsional spatial wonders at the front lines… It’s still too dangerous for you.”
“Although Nine can use Return and bring you back to the Primordial Research Institute,” Secretary General Blacksky said, “you won’t be able to return if you’re captured along with Nine.”
“Understood.” Xu Jingming nodded. He also knew that Primordial Battle Armor #9’s best escape move was Return!
...
“I recognize that Hellion Sovereign—he’s Sovereign Uke,” Xu Jingming said. “He’s ranked 19th among the thousands of Hellion Sovereigns. I can’t defend against the power he used.”
“You need to increase your strength. The stronger you are, the stronger Nine will be,” Secretary General Blacksky stated. “Also, your ntal strength has to increase. With a stronger mind that’s further augnted with Nine’s resistance… It won’t be to the point where you can’t resist.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
Yes, he lost consciousness once the tentacle projection descended.
“I feel terrible now,” Xu Jingming said. “A monster with tentacles constantly appears in my consciousness.”
“These are only so of the aftereffects,” Blacksky explained. “I’m certain that I’ve stripped away the lingering powers. You just need to stabilize your state of mind and slowly shake off its effects.”
Xu Jingming ca to a realization.
“Visualizing the Primordial Star will be helpful. You’ll probably be fine in a few years,” Secretary General Blacksky remarked. “Alright, you should hurry back.”
“Alright.”
Xu Jingming imdiately used the Primordial Research Institute’s teleportation to quickly return to the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.
…
...
Hellion territory, in Sovereign Moyou’s palace.
“Sovereign Moyou.” The wrapped Sovereign Uke stood beneath the throne; there were only the two of them in the hall.
“You failed?” Sovereign Moyou found it unbelievable.
Sovereign Uke nodded. “Yes, I acted personally. I froze spaceti the mont he appeared, and I could even determine that he had lost consciousness! However, a colorful force wrapped around him, allowing him to escape. He left this universe’s spaceti, and I couldn’t detect him at all, nor could I see any traces of his spaceti teleportation. I can only guess… that he most likely used a high-dinsional tunnel.”
“A high-dinsional tunnel?” Sovereign Moyou was a little stunned.
“Even if we kill him across space, the mysterious force will execute an escape with him. Paramount humans will also revive him.” Sovereign Uke shook his head. “He can escape unless we capture him instantly.”
“I couldn’t think of a way to capture him, so I ca back,” Sovereign Uke said.
Sovereign Moyou was vexed. This thod of escape gave him a headache.
“I shall return then,” Sovereign Uke said.
“Sovereign Uke. In 59 years, Sovereign Qiya will return from the front lines to replace , and I’ll go to the front line to fight the humans. When that happens, you’ll be managed by Sovereign Qiya. Be careful.”
Sovereign Uke frowned slightly.
With an old friend like Sovereign Moyou, he could cultivate in peace. However, Sovereign Qiya’s thods were much more ruthless.
“Okay.” Sovereign Uke nodded and turned to leave.
Sovereign Moyou sat on his throne and frowned slightly. Another huge problem that can’t be resolved.
There were so terrifying powerhouses among the cosmic humans that gave the Hellions a headache, but most of them fought the Void Celestials. Very few fought the Hellions.
…
Planet Jishui.
Xu Jingming drank in an al fresco setting. He wasn’t studying; instead, he completely emptied his mind.
He looked up at the sky and felt a huge eye staring at him. The pressure constantly affected him.
Secretary General Blacksky said that he had completely expelled the remnant powers in my body. It’s only a side effect. Xu Jingming comforted himself. Only by cultivating his visualization and viewing the Primordial Star would he not be affected.
However, extended periods of visualization exhausted one ntally. When one reached their limits, the aftereffects would only beco greater.
Take it slow. It’ll get better with ti. Xu Jingming received his daughter’s ssage and imdiately entered the virtual world with a thought.
On the mountaintop; the sa old place.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were waiting. The mother-daughter duo heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Jingming appear.
“Dad, it’s been three days since you accepted the mission, but you haven’t contacted us,” Xu Lixing said. “Mom and I were a little worried, so we couldn’t help but send you a ssage.”
“I was delayed by sothing.” Xu Jingming smiled.
“Did the mission go well?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“I encountered so trouble, but it’s been resolved,” Xu Jingming answered with a smile. “Didn’t I tell you? As long as I make enough contributions, an Origin lifeform will be revived by a Paramount even if they die in battle. Therefore, I’m still very safe.”
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded.
“Are there any good shows today?” Xu Jingming asked. Although his mind was affected, he suppressed it. He maintained his composure when facing his wife and daughter.
“There’s a very grand performance. Let’s go; I’ll bring you there.” Xu Lixing imdiately pulled her parents to another virtual world.
…
Xu Jingming gradually escaped the influence of the high-dinsional power, and his life returned to normal.
He mainly studied and visualized every day, as well as carried out missions to kill the Hellion Origin lifeforms. At the sa ti, he paid attention to the growth of his howorld’s civilization and his family.
Through such days, Xu Jingming slowly improved in every aspect. His knowledge, ntal strength, and usage of Primordial Battle Armor #9 were all improving.
As the efficiency of interception was too high, the frequency of plundering in the area he was in charge of decreased dramatically. Therefore, the Primordial Research Institute often changed the places Xu Jingming presided over every few years.
However, they kept him away from the front lines! They clearly didn’t want Xu Jingming to co into contact with the most terrifying Hellion existences.
Unknowingly, 89 years passed.
