Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 549

549 Front Line Territory

It was nighttime on Planet Black Iron.

Some areas in the noble district were still bustling with activity, but the suburbs were much quieter.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the night sky, and a black-robed man appeared. He observed the planet and caught sight of a manor thousands of kilometers away. Then, he smiled. “Senior Brother Yijiu, Senior Brother Jane, you guys are early.”

He took a step and arrived.

!!
In the manor.

The huge-headed elder, Yijiu, and the cold Senior Brother Jane were drinking. The two of them turned their heads to look at Xu Jingming.

“I lived here to begin with. Junior Brother Jane arrived two hours ago,” Yijiu said with a smile. “Junior Brother Wu Ming’s Spacetime Travel is really impressive. He actually teleported straight into the planet’s atmosphere.”

“That’s all I’m good at.” Xu Jingming sniffed. “The wine smells great.”

“Have a seat. Try the wine personally brewed by Senior Brother Yijiu,” Senior Brother Jane urged.

“Senior Brother Yijiu brewed it?” Xu Jingming sat down.

“I have a long lifespan. I need some entertainment other than evolution.” Yijiu chuckled. “I like drinking and brewing wine. The wine is brewed with the specialty of the Scarlet Cloud Auxiliary Universe, the Scarlet Cloud Fruit.”

As he spoke, he placed a wine flask beside Xu Jingming.

“Specialty of an auxiliary universe?” Xu Jingming immediately poured himself some wine and took a sip.

Xu Jingming immediately felt the strange wine fragrance assault his brain. He widened his eyes. “It hits hard.”

“Only Origin lifeforms can try it. For cosmic lifeforms, their bodies can’t withstand it,” Yijiu said.

“Scarlet Cloud Auxiliary Universe?” Jane asked. “It’s that supreme-ruler of Scarlet Cloud?”

Yijiu nodded.

“Who’s supreme-ruler of Scarlet Cloud?” Xu Jingming asked.

“A very ancient high-dimensional alien lifeform,” Jane introduced. “He died about 500 million years ago, and because he had returned to his homeworld’s universe before his death, the universe in his body dissipated, turning into ‘auxiliary universe spaces’ that were scattered across the universe. Senior Brother Yijiu and the others once discovered an auxiliary cosmic space belonging to Scarlet Cloud.”

“It was just luck,” Yijiu said with a smile. “It needs some excavation even after finding it.”

“I heard that one has to reach the Eternal realm to have an inner universe,” Xu Jingming said.

He didn’t know much about high-dimensional lifeforms; it was mainly from information recorded in the Primordial Research Institute’s database.

“Yes.” Yijiu nodded. “It’s just like how a spaceship can have an auxiliary space or how the Primordial Battle Armor carries an auxiliary space. After becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, those great existences also try to establish a universe in their bodies.”

“It’s nothing to establish a space, but it’s very difficult to establish a universe,” Jane said.

“With an inner universe, the inner universe can constantly absorb energy from external sources to grow! As for high-dimensional lifeforms… they can mobilize the energy of their inner universe,” Yijiu said. “With a thought, they can draw upon the Cosmic Force in their bodies to fight any adversary, so they are naturally a force to be reckoned with. It’s precisely because of the inner universe that they can be considered Eternal, giving them immortality.”

“As for new high-dimensional lifeforms, it’s not easy to maintain the consumption needs of a huge lifeform at all times,” Yijiu said. “Some of the Paramounts born in the history of our human race died in the species wars, and some died in high-dimensional space! It’s also very easy for accidents to happen to high-dimensional lifeforms who haven’t reached the Eternal realm.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

As an elder and the strongest guardian of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, Yijiu knew many more secrets than Xu Jingming and Jane.

“Haha! Of course, for us, we have to work hard to take the first step of becoming high-dimensional lifeforms,” Yijiu said with a smile. “Only then will we be qualified to talk about establishing an inner universe.”

“Our first step is to become a cosmic legend,” Senior Brother Jane said with a smile.

“Junior Brother Jane, Junior Brother Wu Ming, the two of you are young, so you have a high chance of becoming cosmic legends,” Yijiu said. “My chances are slim.”

“Senior Brother, you diverted attention to study two high-dimensional powers and reached an extremely high level. I believe you will definitely become a cosmic legend.” Jane thought rather highly of Yijiu.

“One high-dimensional power has reached a bottleneck, so I chose to comprehend another completely different high-dimensional power in a bid to progress the other…” Yijiu shook his head. “I still wonder if my choice was right or wrong. Let’s not talk about this; let’s drink. Give me more reviews after you taste it so that I can improve my brewing formulation.”

Xu Jingming drank. “I think it’s great. It would be even better if it were thicker.”

“I think it will be better if it hits harder.” Jane drank another glass.

…

Xu Jingming and the others began living in the same manor. They occasionally shared good food and wine and chatted.

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

Some small circles in the cosmic human race knew a lot of the secrets of high-dimensional lifeforms.

Xu Jingming only formed this circle of friends thanks to his growth. For example, Senior Brothers Redeye, Gu Shan, and the others. There were also Senior Brother Yijiu, Senior Brother Jane, Senior Sister Jade Feather, and the others from the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.

On the ninth day on Black Iron.

Xu Jingming was looking at a projection in his study and studying the Möbius model. Senior Brother Jane was sitting in a corner of the manor, seriously painting. As for Senior Brother Yijiu, he had rolled up his sleeves and was brewing wine barefoot.

Suddenly—

Huh? Xu Jingming’s eyes suddenly turned sharper, and with a whoosh, he disappeared into thin air.

“Junior Brother Wu Ming has left?”

Jane—who was painting—and Yijiu, who was brewing wine, sensed it.

“Junior Brother Wu Ming is good at high-dimensional traveling and Spacetime Travel. He is tasked with arduous missions.” Yijiu sighed.

“I’m envious of him. He can kill more Hellions and save more lives,” Jane said.

******

Ever since Xu Jingming’s mental strength reached Lv. 10, the maximum distance he could travel with Spacetime Travel reached an astonishing 1.08 billion light-years. Although his mission was more than 1.9 billion light-years away, he arrived in the nearby cosmos in just two Spacetime Travel warps.

Xu Jingming appeared one to two light-years away from his destination to prevent certain Hellion Sovereigns from attacking from afar! Then, he would carry out high-dimensional traveling.

It’s them.

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

Xu Jingming also saw the habitable planet in the model and the two Hellion Lv. 9 Overlords on it.

Two Lv. 9 Hellions? Xu Jingming’s eyes were cold.

Whoosh.

He descended instantly.

…

Just as this habitable planet experienced the calamity, it was plundered by two Hellion Lv. 9 Overlords. It was also at this moment that a figure appeared in the planet’s atmosphere.

When he appeared, his entire body was like a star, turning into a dazzling figure of light!

Boundless light shone in all directions, also illuminating the area around the two Hellion Lv. 9 Overlords for a radius of more than 5,000 kilometers.

“Wh—” The two Hellion Lv. 9 Overlords didn’t have the time to react. This was because when this terrifying existence descended, the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers had already fallen into the territory of light! Instantly, the surrounding Force structure changed, naturally turning into light.

There was no need for the transmission of light. It directly formed around them!

“It’s a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.”

“Ahhh!”

The two Hellion Lv. 9s looked up in horror. In the middle of the endless light, the figure of light seemed to be gazing at the two of them from afar.

Their bodies disintegrated into nothingness under the light, and they died on the spot.

Xu Jingming watched this scene silently.

Infinite Domain was a move that had reached peak Lv. 10. If he willed it, he could instantly form an Infinite Domain with a diameter of about 300,000 kilometers. Moreover, the light of Infinite Domain could flow and expand to more than ten million kilometers—this was about the limit.

Moreover, a portion of the light from Infinite Domain was condensed from the Laser Force structural model. Lasers hid in Infinite Light, so even though the two Hellions appeared to be illuminated by infinite light, they were penetrated by the Lasers.

Even though they had weapons and armor, their bodies were instantly incinerated. After all, Infinite Domain was mainly a domain to suppress and restrain! Even if at the peak of Lv. 10, Hellion Lv. 9s with stronger bodies could still survive the destructive power. However, Laser was pure destruction! A peak Lv. 10 Laser was sufficient to injure a Lv. 10 Sovereign. It was naturally easy to incinerate a Lv. 9 Hellion.

With Infinite Domain and the Laser model, he was extremely efficient at dealing with the weak within a certain range.

Even though Xu Jingming was very good at the spacetime lineage’s moves, he still liked to use light when slaughtering Hellions!

Whoosh.

All the light converged, and Xu Jingming—who was originally like a supreme-ruler of light—returned to his normal appearance. Dressed in a black robe, he looked at the barren planet and sighed softly.

Xu Jingming put away the items left behind by the two Hellion Lv. 9s and sent a message to the Primordial Research Institute. “Mission accomplished!”

Immediately, a second mission arrived—another spot in the same Star Alliance.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming immediately traversed distant spacetime and 280 million light-years before arriving close to his destination. With another step, he used high-dimensional traveling to arrive beside the enemy.

The three Hellion Lv. 9s had just finished their plundering.

“Get on the spaceship and get ready to leave.” The three Hellion Lv. 9s were about to board the spaceship that was ready to warp through a wormhole at any time.

But at this moment, a figure descended. Light enveloped 50,000 kilometers, the three of them, and the spaceship.

The three of them were devastated and alarmed.

Amidst the endless light, the three Hellion Overlords were incinerated in shock and anger, turning ethereal!

Closing in with high-dimensional traveling and using a peak Lv. 10 move to deal with Lv. 9s made it possible to finish off the Hellion Lv. 9s in a second. This was why Xu Jingming could intercept two in a row.

…

Every wave of Hellion plundering was carried out simultaneously in many places! Xu Jingming waited for an hour and a half before another interception mission arrived. This time, he only managed to intercept one group. By the time he reached the second spot, the Hellions had already fled.

It ended after two waves? Xu Jingming waited patiently and didn’t receive any further transfer orders. The Primordial Research Institute had also informed him that this Hellion team had probably given up and started retreating.

******

At the border of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, on a modified planet, there was only one Hellion—Sovereign Moyou.

He sat on a throne in the castle with his eyes closed. Illusory ripples slowly emitted from his eyes, naturally enveloping the entire planet.

The planet’s reality and illusion became chaotic. What was real and what was fake?

Huh? Sovereign Moyou opened his eyes, and a projection appeared in front of him. A message appeared on the projection.

The Hellions had built a virtual world at the front line that only spanned hundreds of millions of light-years, allowing the upper echelons of the Hellion front line to communicate better.

Sovereign Moyou looked at the information on the projection and frowned slightly. Eight Overlords died in just two waves of plundering? They encountered efficient interceptions in every wave and are suspected of encountering the Dark Spearman?

This is the front line. Doesn’t the Dark Spearman always hide in the middle and rear of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector? Sovereign Moyou thought to himself.

The Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector was a vast cosmic sector after all. If the Hellions went too deep into the human dominion, the difficulty of escaping would be higher. Therefore… the deeper they went, the lower the frequency of plundering.

Xu Jingming used to be mainly in the central region of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.

The front line was much more tragic! Of course, many habitable planets at the front line were used to exile felons. Many cosmic criminals were transported over on a large scale to be in charge of reclamation and construction.

This Dark Spearman has arrived at the front line? Sovereign Moyou’s green eyes were filled with anticipation. Perhaps I can meet him.
