As for the current numbered Primordial Battle Armor, it was the cornerstone treasure of the Primordial Research Institute. The detection range exceeded the imagination of the thin Hellion.
Twelve light-years? Even if it was multiplied tenfold, it was still within the detection range of Primordial Battle Armor #9.
#9 is the best at escaping among the numbered Primordial Battle Armor. How can I let you escape? Xu Jingmingâs entire body emitted a terrifying glow again, enveloping an area of more than 10,000 kilometers. He looked at the Hellion like an embodiment of light.
Under the impact of the terrifying light, the aura of the thin Hellion clearly weakened.
Iâm finished. The Hellion gave up resisting because he knew that there was no escaping the domain of light.
Shoo!
A spear instantly arrived in front of him.
The Hellion didnât move either. In his extremely weak state, he knew very well that waving his short spear couldnât stop the spear.
He calmly awaited death. This is the end of my life. Unfortunately, I only managed to be an Overlord. I failed to become a Sovereign. The wider world eludes me.
The thin Hellion allowed the spear to stab into his body.
Boom!
His body shattered.
His shattered body and mental will stared at Xu Jingming. Under the impact of the light, these shattered parts ultimately disintegrated.
Xu Jingming frowned slightly as he watched all of this. This Hellion spared no expense at fleeing, resulting in him having less than 10% of his strength left, but my single strike failed to wipe him out? These Hellion Origin lifeforms are too strong.
In terms of physique, the Hellionsâ evolutionary method does have some advantages, Xu Jingming thought.
Every species had its own advantages.
Humans had an advantage in technology, battle armor, and other aspects. The Hellions had a unique evolutionary method! Other species couldnât learn it at all.
No, I find his body very strong perhaps because Iâm too weak, Xu Jingming thought to himself. Iâm only a new Lv. 9 Origin lifeform after all. I only managed to kill the three of them with the Primordial Battle Armor.
Without it, he was a rookie and wasnât a match for any of the three.
With Primordial Battle Armor #9, he could reach the threshold of Lv. 10. He had the advantage in a one-on-three battle, but it was still very difficult to wipe them all out.
I schemed a little. In fact, I wasnât faking itâIâm indeed at Lv. 9, Xu Jingming thought to himself. He didnât hide the Lv. 9 lifeform aura he released in combat. This was also the reason why the three Hellions became overconfident.
It would be a disgrace if they cowered when fighting a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform!
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming waved his hand and put away the floating weapons, blood-colored horns, and other items. Then, he took a step and disappeared, returning to the stellar system where the planet was located to collect the weapons and other items left behind by the other two Hellion Origin lifeforms.
He hadnât diverted his attention to collect the spoils of war while pursuing the last target.
Xu Jingming looked at the distant Dinichthyidae.
After experiencing the aftershocks of the battle, the surface of Dinichthyidae was in ruins, and the entire planet was enveloped in thick dust.
Xu Jingming watched in silence.
Yes, he had killed the three Hellions. However⌠What about the two billion-plus humans?
I have to kill more of them until they have to think twice about coming again! It would be even better if I could completely wipe them out. Xu Jingming didnât have any pity for the enemy alien races.
******
Planet Jishui, Xu Jingmingâs residence.
In his study upstairs.
Xu Jingming appeared out of thin air and sat in the study.
Mission accomplished. Iâve killed all three Hellion Origin lifeforms and obtained some spoils of war. Xu Jingming sat there and sent the appearance of the three Hellion Origin lifeforms, the current state of Dinichthyidae, and the virtual models of the many war spoils through the virtual world with a thought.
At the same time, he began checking the spoils.
A saber?
Xu Jingming held the bloody saber. After the saber was drawn, an invisible aura affected the surroundings, but Xu Jingming naturally restrained it by using the Forceâthe aura would be toxic to ordinary people.
I heard that the weapons of Hellion Origin lifeforms have synergy with their evolutionary methods, allowing the weapons to have extraordinary destructive power. Xu Jingming put away the saber and took out a pair of gloves to take a look. Then, he looked at the short black spear that emitted a terrifying aura.
After checking the weapons, he took out three blood-colored curved horns.
I heard that only by becoming an Origin lifeform will Hellions be given a blood-colored horn. This is a symbol of their identity and glory, and it also contains the subsequent evolutionary methods. Xu Jingming carefully investigated.
The blood-colored horn was very special. It contained an independent space that could store a large number of plundered items, including spaceships and other items.
All these years, all the species in the universe have been unable to obtain the Hellionsâ evolutionary method. Xu Jingming quickly put away the blood-colored horn and prepared to wait for the Primordial Research Institute to send someone to collect the spoils of war.
âŚ
In a small spaceship.
The leader of the Hellion team and a female companion silently looked at the signal device in their hands.
Buzz.
Another signal beam was completely extinguished.
âSangya has died too.â The leader of the Hellion team and his female companion had ugly expressions.
âCaptain, who did Congro and the others encounter? A human Lv. 10 Origin lifeform?â the female companion asked.
âProbably.â The Hellion team leader nodded slightly. âThey were intercepted when they plundered their first habitable planet. Itâs very likely that the Lv. 10 Origin lifeform arrived quickly because they live in a nearby galaxy.â
âBut Varuna and Congro died at the same time,â the female companion said. âThe three of them shouldâve immediately fled when they encountered a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. With our escaping abilities as Hellions, the three of them shouldnât have all died.â
âItâs a little peculiar.â The eyes of the Hellion team leader darkened. âUnfortunately, we donât know the details.â
âAfter Varuna and Congro died at the same time, Sangya sent out a danger signal. His signal then went out completely,â the female companion said in thought. âAs for Varuna and Congro, they didnât send out a signal before they died.â
âPerhaps the three of them felt that they could escape previously.â The leader of the Hellion team shook his head. âIt was already too late when the other party revealed his terrifying means. Unfortunately, our Hellionâs communication technology is too poor, and we canât blanket the humansâ Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.â
In the vast universe, transmission had always been a problem.
The humans did the best among the many species.
Humans were good at technology, and the virtual world network was a magnum opus. It allowed ordinary cosmic lifeforms to reach the same cosmic sector without any delay! The communication range available to the Origin lifeforms went beyond the 34-cosmic-sector human territory.
However, the other species were much inferior in terms of communication. For example, even in the Hellionsâ native territory, communication was very crude. Even the âvirtual mainframesâ they plundered only covered a planet, but that simplified version of the virtual world was a rare enjoyment for the Hellions.
As for outside their native territory? Once they acted alone, they would be left to fend for themselves. Of course, this also had a benefit. They couldnât contact each other when infiltrating the enemyâs territory, so they naturally wouldnât expose their location or implicate their companions.
âCaptain, we lost three members in the first wave. Shall we fall back?â the female companion asked worriedly. âI keep having the feeling that itâs a little strange for Congro and Varuna to die at the same time.â
âWhen infiltrating the human dominion to kill, itâs only natural to occasionally encounter human Origin lifeforms. Itâs normal to suffer losses.â The leader of the Hellion team shook his head. âIf the losses donât exceed 30%, everything shall proceed as per normal.â
He was already used to losing members when leading a team. Moreover, in the conflict between the races, the Hellion suffered losses; likewise for human Origin lifeforms.
The female companion nodded and replied, âYes, sir.â
âPerhaps Congro and the others were just unlucky. The truly powerful figures of the human race are usually at the Void Celestial frontlines. There are very few in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector,â the leader of the Hellion team said. âGet some rest. Once the time is up, weâll begin the second wave of plundering.â
The leader of the Hellion team looked at a bustling habitable planet in the distance; it was an administrative planet that more than ten billion humans lived on. This was his target for the second wave.
The entire team wouldnât give up if their exploits were insufficient or unless the losses reached a certain level.
