Cosmic Professional Gladiator

In Sovereign Moyou's palace.

Eight Hellion Origin lifeforms stood at the bottom.

"I also made contact with that mysterious powerhouse. Dozens of threads extended out of his palm and drilled into my body, instantly annihilating me." A Hellion said respectfully, "This is the scene of me being killed."

He extended his left hand and revealed the scene in his memory.

Replication of memories was easy for any Origin lifeform.

"For me, dozens of threads separated from the spear and drilled into my body after I was struck by his spear. This is the scene of me being killed."

"This is mine…"

The scenes of the Hellion Origin lifeforms being killed appeared.

Sovereign Moyou looked at the scenes of the spear-wielding human killing the Hellions. He can instant-transmit tens of light-years when in pursuit? As long as you make contact, you'll be penetrated and killed by dozens of colorful threads? Suspected to be a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform?

Sovereign Moyou silently summarized a large amount of information.

"Who is this human?" Sovereign Moyou asked. "Who knows him?"

The eight Hellion Origin lifeforms shook their heads. Even though they had been killed and revived, they still didn't know… who this human was.

"Sovereign Moyou," a Hellion Origin lifeform said respectfully, "there's no information about this person in the intelligence we Hellions have gathered on human Origin lifeforms. He should've changed his appearance."

"In just three years, it's estimated that at least 30 Hellion Origin lifeforms have died at his hands. Most of them weren't qualified for revival." Sovereign Moyou's green eyes turned colder. "With such efficiency, he naturally has to hide his identity."

Although the ones who died were all Lv. 9, what kind of losses would they be suffering in 10,000 years if they lost more than 10 Origin lifeforms a year?

"Even a peak Lv. 10 human is far less efficient than him." Sovereign Moyou's voice turned colder. "Moreover, he's only active around the Ansu Star Alliance. If he were to head to the front lines where things are most intense, the number of Hellion Overlords he can kill every year would increase exponentially."

The eight resurrected Hellion Origin lifeforms were also very solemn.

"The cosmic humans' Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms are distributed among the three advanced cosmic civilizations and the 5,632 Star Alliances. There are tens of millions of them! Among them, spears are common. More than a million human Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms use spears, so there's no way to find out his identity," a Hellion said, stumped.

"Perhaps the weapon he's best at isn't a spear. On the surface, he's attacking with a spear, but in fact, it's those dozens of transparent threads," a Hellion retorted.

"He's very sinister! He may appear above board on the surface using light techniques, but he employs sinister killer moves made from those strange threads."

The eight resurrected Hellion Origin lifeforms found the threads sinister.

Sovereign Moyou nodded and waved his hand gently. "You are dismissed."

The eight Hellion Origin lifeforms bowed respectfully and left.

…

Five days later.

Sovereign Moyout arrived in a dark world. Tentacle projections roamed this world, and an evil aura spread and corroded him.

He walked calmly and completely resisted the evil aura. Finally, he arrived in front of the largest lake in the Dark World.

"Sovereign Uke."

Brrp~~~

Bubbles began to appear in the lake, and a behemoth slowly surfaced. The tentacle phantoms in the dark world quickly retracted and returned to the behemoth's body.

As it appeared, the behemoth shrunk. When he came out of the lake, he had already become a normal-looking Hellion Sovereign. His body was wrapped in a robe, and the only head that was exposed was filled with holes. His eyes were like endless pools.

He was Sovereign Uke.

"Sovereign Moyou?" Sovereign Uke didn't open his mouth, but his voice echoed in the surroundings.

"You can't even speak?" The latter was a little worried.

"There's nothing I can do about it. The low amount of credits needed to exchange for a tentacle left behind by a high-dimensional lifeform is what I can barely afford." Sovereign Uke glanced at the Sovereign Moyou, his voice resounding.

"You took too much risk. The fusion of dead high-dimensional lifeforms' body parts is very dangerous," Sovereign Moyou said. "But once the fusion is successful and you have complete control over it, the strength you can unleash will also be very powerful. You were ranked 19th during the latest 'emperor' ranking. You shouldn't be far from controlling it, right?"

Sovereign Uke nodded, and his voice sounded: "Soon."

He was top 20 among the Hellion Sovereigns without a complete fusion. Once he succeeded, the rankings for the top 10 great Sovereigns would likely change.

"Sovereign Uke, you're the strongest of the many Sovereigns under me," the latter said. "All these years, I've never let you step into the battlefield."

"I'm very grateful." Sovereign Uke nodded.

Although their evolutionary method focused on combat, fusing with a high-dimensional spatial object required some solitary time.

"A very powerful opponent has appeared in the humans' Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector that I'm in charge of plundering. I'll send you all the information on him." Sovereign Moyou immediately transmitted a wisp of information to the other party.

"The efficiency of interception is comparable to a cosmic legend? Yet, he's only a peak Lv. 9 in head-on combat? Employs sneak attacks via a sinister move?" Sovereign Uke quickly gathered the information.

"I determined that he's most likely a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. He only possesses a strange item," Sovereign Moyou stated.

"I agree with your judgment. If he were Lv. 10, his efficiency in killing would be higher." Sovereign Uke nodded.

Sovereign Moyou said, "I've temporarily given this mysterious human powerhouse a code name—Dark Spearman. He appears open and aboveboard, but he's actually very sinister. I've thought about it. Of the Sovereigns I'm managing, you have the greatest chance of succeeding."

"I believe the cosmic humans will revive him after he's killed, but most importantly… the strange object he carries," Sovereign Moyou said. "Perhaps it's a treasure that's good at spacetime teleportation. The value of this treasure on the battlefield is immeasurable. If you successfully obtain that strange object and return, you will definitely be well rewarded."

Sovereign Uke nodded and said, "It's been more than 10,000 years since I last fought on the battlefield. Alright, I'll deal with him."

"Based on his habit of intercepting and rescuing, I've formulated a detailed plan for you." Sovereign Moyou smiled and said, "Oh right, I also have to remind you that according to the information from the revived Origin lifeforms, the human—Mr. Jane—is also in the Ansu Star Alliance."

"Jane?" Sovereign Uke didn't mind. "I can't kill him yet, but he can't do anything to me."

Sovereign Moyou was aware of this, a reason why he sent Sovereign Uke.

If it wasn't stipulated that at least half of the ten great Sovereigns had to be stationed in the rear at all times, Sovereign Moyou would've long personally headed to the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector.

…

In the virtual world.

In a beautiful world, Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and Xu Lixing were having a picnic on the mountaintop. They sat on a blanket, eating barbecue and drinking beer from Earth.

Although Xu Jingming focused on studying every day, he could maintain three clones in the virtual world. He still kept one clone with his family.

Studying was important, but so was spending time with his family.

"Lixing, are you stressed with the business? Are you under a lot of pressure?" Xu Jingming asked as he drank his beer.

"Dad, I'm already completely familiar with everything. I'm not pressured at all when dealing with matters." Xu Lixing was very confident. "I can be considered a genius in the business world, and I'm successful in every business."

"You think it's your talent? That's because… many factions offered to benefit us when interacting with us for the first time." Li Miaomiao put her daughter's arrogance in check.

"Mom, you always undermine me when I brag in front of Dad." Xu Lixing was helpless. "But regardless of whether it's a gift or not, I find everything quite relaxed and simple. Everything is going smoothly."

Li Miaomiao nodded and gazed at her husband. "On the one hand, all the partners are very cooperative. On the other hand, by following Mr. Pang and the other think tanks' suggestions, the corporation has been advancing steadily."

Xu Jingming nodded. "We didn't have much business in the beginning, but with time, it will expand. The various factions in the universe won't keep giving in to us. When the time comes, the competition will become more and more intense. Be prepared."

"Our corporation's business is indeed nothing compared to those titans," Xu Lixing said.

Only when she truly managed the corporation did she realize… The 100 trillion cosmic dollars from before were really nothing compared to the truly large factions in the universe. In fact, they couldn't afford even one of the Redmond Group's Yellow-Shirted Envoys, nor did they have the means to buy one.

Xu Jingming nodded. The corporation needs time. I will invest more when things are more mature.

There was nothing he could do about it. Be it the compensation from the Black Moon civilization or the war spoils from killing the Hellion Origin lifeforms, Xu Jingming's savings had already exceeded a quadrillion cosmic dollars.

If I continue killing like this, the wealth I'd accumulate in a thousand years will probably be comparable to some regional factions in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. Xu Jingming knew very well how quickly he could accumulate wealth. All of this stemmed from him possessing the Primordial Research Institute's fastest Primordial Battle Armor #9.

His strength was only an insignificant portion, but he was improving every year.

Huh? Xu Jingming's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes turned colder.

"What's wrong?" Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing sensed that something was amiss.

"I received a mission. I'm rushing to my destination in reality," Xu Jingming explained. "I'll log off first."

"Be careful."

"Dad, be careful."

Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing exhorted as Xu Jingming disappeared and went offline.

Although he still had his avatar clone online while traveling, he still needed to devote 100% of his attention to the upcoming battle with the Hellion Origin lifeforms.

…

On an extremely quiet habitable planet.

On the planet, be it humans or animals, they had died in silence. They didn't 'dissipate,' and their corpses remained.

Countless corpses remain strewn everywhere on the planet.

The only 'living thing' was a Hellion wrapped in a robe standing calmly on the city streets. Only his tattered face was revealed.

He didn't use any moves—all he did was descend on this planet, and all the humans and animals on the planet naturally died.

According to the interception rules determined by Sovereign Moyou, the location of this habitable planet… is most likely within the confines of that mysterious powerhouse. Sovereign Uke waited silently. If that mysterious powerhouse heads to another area, it will be that team's misfortune.

He had led a team of 15 Hellion Overlords. They split up as usual!

If he was the only one taking action, the humans would also determine that something was amiss. They would send Mr. Jane or someone else.

Huh? Just seven seconds after Sovereign Uke's descent, he suddenly looked up at a spot in space 0.18 light-years away.

A black-robed human passed through the spatial ripples and appeared.
