Chapter 39 Pursuit in Higher Dimensions

“The Prison Clan dares to fuse it into their bodies, but we wouldn't be so crazy." Yi Jiu flipped his hand and put away the drop of black liquid. "Afterward, it will be handed over to the research institute along with other spoils of war."

Xu Jingming and Senior Brother Jian both nodded.

They had agreed before joining forces that the credit and spoils from dealing with the Prison Clan would be divided equally among the three of them!

After all, the three of them played a significant role.

Without Senior Brother Yi Jiu, the hope of killing a Prison Clan monarch who mastered high-dimensional power would be slim! Without Senior Brother Jian, they wouldn't be able to trap the Prison Clan monarch at all. Without Xu Jingming, Fatelans would probably be dead by the time Senior Brother Jian and Yi Jiu arrived in their spacecraft from a distant place, and Monarch Black Serpent would have long escaped without a trace.

"Thank you, Mr. Yi Jiu, Mr. Jian, and this senior brother," Fatelans said politely, not recognizing Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. He didn't plan to reveal his identity for the time being.

"You need to put more effort into your life-saving abilities," Senior Brother Yi Jiu said with a smile. "Alright, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving first."

Xu Jingming immediately led his two companions and disappeared from the spot.

Fatelans stood in the starry sky and breathed a sigh of relief. "This mysterious expert concealed his appearance and aura. I wonder which high-level member of our Yuanchu Research Institute he is?"

There were too many experts in the Yuanchu Research Institute, with over ten thousand Tier 10 Origin lifeforms! There was also a group of beings who had mastered high-dimensional power. Mr. Jian and Yi Jiu didn't even rank in the top ten among the Tier 10 Origin lifeforms in the Yuanchu Research Institute.

"Judging from how the three of them interacted, this mysterious expert is more humble, and Yi Jiu also calls him 'shidi' (junior brother). He should be a senior brother who mastered high-dimensional power but is ranked lower," Fatelans thought.

"Judging from this battle, my life-saving abilities are still weak." Fatelans pondered, and similarly, he used space-time traversal to leave.

******

Black Iron Star.

Xu Jingming and the other two returned.

"This time, killing Monarch Black Serpent is a deterrent to the Prison Clan," Yi Jiu said with a smile. "Prison Clan monarchs who possess high-dimensional power will be more cautious, and the more cautious they are, the fewer times they will take action."

Senior Brother Jian looked at Xu Jingming. "Shidi (junior brother) Wu Ming, when do you plan to reveal your identity?"

When they interacted with Fatelans, Xu Jingming still didn't reveal his identity.

"I'm only a Tier 9 Origin lifeform now, and my lifeform is relatively fragile! If the Prison Clan confirms my identity, they will target me even more," Xu Jingming said. "Although I have some life-saving methods, it's better to be cautious. It's not too late to reveal my identity when I become a Tier 10 Origin lifeform."

Right now, only the other seven wardens in the Tianmang Cosmic Sector knew his identity. Each of them had an extraordinary status and knew to keep it a secret.

With so few people knowing, the possibility of leakage was extremely low.

"You need to be careful. After killing Monarch Black Serpent this time, I believe Monarch Mo You's desire to kill you will be even stronger," Yi Jiu said.

"Aren't there two senior brothers?" Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Senior Brother Jian reminded him, "The invasion of the Nightmare World happens in an instant. The two of us won't have time to stop it. So you must be careful yourself."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Relying on high-dimensional travel, he was confident.

...

"Monarch Black Serpent is dead?"

Within the virtual world built by the Prison Clan at the border of the Tianmang Cosmic Sector, which only covered hundreds of millions of light-years, Monarch Mo You was somewhat surprised to learn of Monarch Black Serpent's death.

After all, there were only six Prison Clan monarchs who had mastered high-dimensional power in the Tianmang Cosmic Sector, and now one of them had been lost.

"Right now, we can only confirm that Black Serpent is dead! We must wait until the Ancestor or His Majesty resurrects next time to know the process of his being killed." The figure shrouded in blood mist, with a pair of gloomy eyes, looked at his surrounding companions. "We have always been very cautious in the Tianmang Cosmic Sector, because dying would mean losing the fused high-dimensional object. But Black Serpent still died, so there must have been an unexpected situation. After integrating the intelligence, I can only guess that it's related to that mysterious warden."

A figure with a broad physique like a mountain said, "That mysterious warden called the Dark Spearman has recently come to the front line. Monarch Black Serpent died not long after he arrived."

"That Dark Spearman is extremely fast in space-time traversal, which allows him to intercept and kill over a large area in a short period of time."

"He probably brought human experts to the scene, making it impossible for Black Serpent to escape."

"I agree. This is the most likely possibility! There is also another possibility... that the Star Alliance that Black Serpent plundered happened to have a very powerful human expert guarding it, and that human expert was able to kill Black Serpent, preventing Black Serpent from escaping."

"How can there be so many coincidences? My perception of the future tells me that it should be related to that Dark Spearman," said a gray mist.

These Prison Clan monarchs who had mastered high-dimensional power were discussing.

Monarch Mo You was silent.

"Death is not scary, but losing the fused high-dimensional object is what we cannot bear," said the gray mist. "We all paid a huge price and countless efforts to master the high-dimensional object. If we lose it, our strength will completely plummet."

"Mo You, before Black Serpent is resurrected and we understand the truth of his death, I don't plan to take action again."

"I also want to wait and see."

"The only one who can be unafraid of humans and resolve the threat of that Dark Spearman is Monarch Mo You."

These four Prison Clan monarchs were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of 'losing the high-dimensional object' and having their strength completely plummet after resurrection.

A significant drop in strength was more painful than killing them.

Even if they paid the price to obtain another 'high-dimensional object,' the fusion and mastery of different high-dimensional objects were different. They might never be able to master high-dimensional power again in their lives.

"Leave it to me," Monarch Mo You said and immediately went offline.

On the planet where he lived alone, inside that castle, Monarch Mo You sat alone on the throne, his sharp fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, pondering, "I had long guessed that the Dark Spearman would have an impact on the battlefield, but Monarch Black Serpent died as soon as he arrived at the front line."

"He is deterring many Tier 9 Prison Clan members and even the Prison Clan monarchs who have mastered high-dimensional power. His impact on the entire Tianmang Cosmic Sector battlefield is too great."

"I am the leader in charge of the Tianmang Cosmic Sector battlefield. If we enter a complete disadvantage, my contributions will be greatly diminished."

Monarch Mo You didn't care about the deaths of his subordinates, but he cared about his own future.

"I must eliminate him as soon as possible." Monarch Mo You's desire to kill was extremely strong.

Before that mysterious warden came to the front line, the Prison Clan was very arrogant, relying on their fearlessness of death and the leadership of Monarch Mo You and others.

Now, the situation had quietly changed, and Monarch Mo You felt that he had to nip this trend in the bud!

******

Just five days later, in the Tianmang Cosmic Sector, the Prison Clan launched another plundering operation, once again led by Monarch Mo You.

Whoosh!

Sixteen Prison Clan members stood in the huge spacecraft.

"The time interval is so short," Monarch Mo You thought. "I'm ambushing again so quickly. Will the humans be alert and prevent that Dark Spearman from carrying out missions again?"

"We've arrived, the Yuhe Star Alliance."

Monarch Mo You looked at the vast starry sky outside. "Act separately according to the previous plan."

"Yes."

The fifteen Prison Clan lords under his command all obeyed.

Soon, they all left the spacecraft and boarded small spacecraft, a total of eight small spacecraft, and all entered the Yuhe Star Alliance.

In one of the small spacecraft were Monarch Mo You and three Prison Clan lords. This was definitely too many to plunder a life planet.

The three Prison Clan lords were very nervous. After all, it was one of the top ten Prison Clan monarchs, who was usually strong enough to act alone. But this time, he was actually leading them three? They naturally had to do their best.

"You will plunder normally according to your experience. I will hide in the dark," Monarch Mo You said. "Just pretend I don't exist."

"Yes," the three Prison Clan lords all obeyed.

Soon—

They arrived at a life planet.

After the first wave of plundering began, the three Prison Clan lords plundered as they had in the past, according to orders! First, they instantly destroyed all living beings on this planet, and then they stored some resources into the attached spaces they carried.

"Can we wait for that Dark Spearman?" Monarch Mo You transformed into the Nightmare World, completely integrated into the real universe space. He did not interfere with the plundering operation, but hid and waited for that most important prey.

...

"There's a mission."

Inside the manor, Xu Jingming immediately took Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu, and with just one space-time traversal, they arrived at the Yuhe Star Alliance, 920 million light-years away, and even precisely to within three light-years of their destination.

"High-dimensional travel."

The last time the three of them killed Monarch Black Serpent, Xu Jingming knew that the Prison Clan would definitely be more vigilant. Although the intercept and kill missions never stopped, Xu Jingming was also maintaining the highest level of vigilance in his actions.

"Whoosh."

The moment they entered the high-dimensional space, the universe starry sky with a diameter of more than ten light-years was reduced to the size of a model. Within this range, viewed from the perspective of the high-dimensional space, all levels, both inside and outside, were clearly visible.

Xu Jingming also saw that life planet!

The traces of human life on that life planet were still there, countless city buildings, transportation vehicles, clothing, food, and so on, but there were no humans. Only three Prison Clan lords were quickly plundering some valuable items from this life planet.

At the same time—

Xu Jingming also saw that there was a layer of shadow covering that life planet, covering a vast area with a diameter of 1.2 trillion kilometers. It was like a monster, integrated into the universe spacetime.

"Nightmare World, Monarch Mo You?" Xu Jingming made a judgment in an instant.

With such a vast range that even Senior Brother Jian could not completely trap, Xu Jingming could only think of that Monarch Mo You.

"Mm?"

At the same time that Xu Jingming entered the high-dimensional space and observed the Nightmare World.

Monarch Mo You transformed into the Nightmare World, and his mental power had already reached the high-dimensional level. His mental power not only sensed normal universe spacetime, but could also sense the high-dimensional space, unlike Xu Jingming, who was blind in the high-dimensional space.

"That's—"

Monarch Mo You's mental power sensed three figures in the high-dimensional space, a black-robed youth, a cold and stern man, and a big-headed old man.

Dark Spearman, Jian, Yi Jiu!

Monarch Mo You made a judgment in an instant, and he immediately understood: "So the three of them are acting together. Black Serpent must have died like this."

Xu Jingming saw the Nightmare World!

Monarch Mo You sensed Xu Jingming and the other two.

The two sides discovered each other at the same time!

"Senior Brother Jian, Senior Brother Yi Jiu, I'll leave it to you." Xu Jingming threw them out in an instant! He threw Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu directly out of the high-dimensional space and into that universe starry sky.

After throwing the two people out of the high-dimensional space, Xu Jingming himself did not go to that life planet, but turned around and fled!

Whoosh whoosh!!

Although Senior Brother Jian and Senior Brother Yi Jiu were very strong, they indeed did not have the ability to travel in the high-dimensional space. Everything could only be done by Xu Jingming carrying them! The moment they descended into the universe spacetime, the two of them took action.

Whether it was Senior Brother Jian's Mirror World or Senior Brother Yi Jiu's mental power that had reached the high-dimensional level, the two of them could discover the Nightmare World.

"Swish swish swish."

The starry sky seemed to be reflected by mirrors, and under the mutual reflection of different mirrors, the reflected starry sky quickly superimposed, and the dense universe starry sky completely trapped this area. But it only trapped less than one-tenth of the Nightmare World. Within this area, there were also those three Prison Clan lords.

"No." The three Prison Clan lords were shocked and angry.

"It's okay, Monarch Mo You is here."

"The monarch will protect us."

The three of them were also confident. They knew the legends about the top ten monarchs, and they were very clear that under the Nightmare World covered by Monarch Mo You, humans wanted to kill them? They had to shatter the Nightmare World first.

"Boom." Senior Brother Yi Jiu's fists had already descended, and the Nightmare World was shattering.

But Monarch Mo You did not care at this moment.

A part of the world was covered and cut off? A part was annihilated?

Those three Prison Clan lords were waiting for him to save them?

"Dark Spearman!" At this moment, Monarch Mo You only had that goal in his heart.

As long as he killed the Dark Spearman and took the high-dimensional treasure he possessed, some losses were worth it.

"Boom!"

Completely abandoning the three subordinates, and also abandoning a part of his own Nightmare World, all the mental power condensed a part of the Nightmare Force and instantly drilled into the 'high-dimensional space'. Although he could not travel in the high-dimensional space, he could mobilize the Nightmare Force with all his strength to enter the high-dimensional space.

"Chase!"

It sounds slow, but in reality, Xu Jingming threw out the two senior brothers and turned around to flee, and Monarch Mo You immediately chased after him at all costs.

Swoosh swoosh!

Xu Jingming took one step in high-dimensional travel and arrived at a starry sky several light-years away. Just as he was about to space-time traverse, he felt that spacetime had solidified.

Obviously, within a certain range, the Nightmare World could seal and solidify spacetime.

"I still have to use high-dimensional travel." Xu Jingming had long known that in a confrontation with top experts, space-time traversal had too many flaws.

However, he couldn't see in the high-dimensional space.

"If I can't see, then I'll just charge forward. At least I know where the Nightmare World is."

Xu Jingming entered the high-dimensional space again.

He charged forward at the fastest speed in the high-dimensional space.

The Nightmare Force also extended in the high-dimensional space, chasing in Xu Jingming's direction.

"It's really difficult to run away in the high-dimensional space." Xu Jingming felt that the invisible resistance around him was very great. With the help of Little Jiu, he could run all the way.

Monarch Mo You was not easy either.

In the real universe spacetime, the Nightmare World he transformed into had a very large range, but in the high-dimensional space, he could only condense into the 'Nightmare Force' and turn into a line, advancing with difficulty, with a very slow flying speed.

"Am I slower than him?"

Xu Jingming couldn't see, but Monarch Mo You's mental power could 'see'. The black-robed youth who was running for his life in a straight line, his speed in the high-dimensional space... was significantly faster than the forward speed of his 'linear' Nightmare Force.

Soon, as the distance grew farther and farther, Xu Jingming's figure in the high-dimensional space had already escaped the range that Monarch Mo You could sense.

He could no longer sense it.
