Chapter 294 Who is Xiao Ying? Big Breakthrough! Xiao Ying is the Blood Lotus Demon Lord!
[The seventh universe. The chaotic zone.]

[“How is this possible!!!”]

[Xuan Ming woke up from the pitch-black silence, her chest heaving violently. She slowly raised her hand and stared blankly at her palm.]

[Her throat is dry: “Is this a dream?”]

[“But all this is too real…” Xuan Ming struggled to stand up, and glanced across the room. The familiar furnishings came into view, but she felt a little strange.]

[The scene before me is blurry, but the shouts of my companions seem to still echo in my ears.]

[In Xuanming’s mind, the huge claws of the black iron dragon warrior, the remains of Bai Ze, Gong Gong’s roar, and the endless scarlet light kept flashing.]

[Those images were engraved deep in her memory like a brand.]

[“Blood Lotus Demon Dragon…” Xuan Ming stood up and walked to the window with light steps, staring at the stars in the distance, looking for the scarlet figure.]

【“Xuan Ming.”】

[Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Bai Ze walked in calmly. She raised her glasses slightly, “We failed again. We still have two last chances.”]

[“Bai Ze, you saved us all…” Xuan Ming’s body stiffened slightly, and he slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Ze.]

[“To be precise, everyone in Universe 6 is dead.”]

Bai Ze walked to her side, without any intention of blaming Xuan Ming, “When I knew that I couldn’t stop you from doing stupid things, I could only go with you and use the ‘Observer’ to bring your consciousness to the seventh universe at the last minute.”

[“The seventh universe? A parallel universe? You’ve experienced this six times…” Xuan Ming was stunned, with guilt in his eyes. He bowed his head and apologized, “I’m sorry.”]

[“I’m used to it.” Bai Ze sighed.]

[“Can we… defeat the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?” Xuan Ming was silent for a while. She understood how powerful the Iron Dragon monster was. The Father God mentioned by the dragon would be even more terrifying.]

[Bai Ze pointed at his own eyes and said, “My eyes can see a total of 120,000 different futures…”]

[“We successfully defeated the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon!!” Xuan Ming’s eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, “Is it this time!?”]

[“No.” Bai Ze shook her head gently, her eyes lowered, with a trace of barely perceptible fatigue, “No matter how many times we try again, we cannot change the doomed destruction of the universe.”]

[Her talent “Eye of Bai Ze” once borrowed the power of “Observer” to know everything and explore the mysteries of the universe when the third universe was promoted to Glory. Even so, she still could not find the possibility of defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon. ]

[One hundred and twenty thousand possibilities——this is the limit of Bai Ze’s “heart”.]

[She had simulated various battle scenarios and deduced countless strategies in her mind countless times, but the previous six parallel universe operations all ended in failure.]

[And Bai Ze has discovered that the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon is also getting stronger in an unknown corner. ]

[“Not even once?” Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head abruptly, staring intently into Bai Ze’s eyes.]

[“Not even once.” Bai Ze’s tone remained calm, as if he was stating something that was perfectly ordinary.]

[She looked through the lenses and into Xuanming’s eyes without a trace of avoidance.]

[“The closest time to success was in the “Fourth Universe”. I gathered eighteen glorious masters and three ultimate messengers. Almost all the masters in the universe came out in full force. We were just a little bit away from defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon.”]

[“Just a little bit.”]

[“However, the final result is still destruction.”]

【The room fell into a brief silence.】

[“No one in the entire universe can defeat him? Is this… the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?”]

[Xuan Ming tried hard to digest this cruel reality, muttering to himself, “Could it be… that we can only watch the universe being destroyed?”]

【Bai Ze is silent.】

[She knew Xuan Ming would not be defeated by such a small difficulty – Xuan Ming would never give up! ]

[Xuan Ming took a deep breath, and the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by determination, “Since that’s the case, I won’t let you down this time. Even if it’s an unbeatable enemy, I will definitely defeat him!”]

[“…It’s not like there’s no hope.”]

[Bai Ze suddenly smiled: “Fourth parallel universe, I really pushed myself to the limit. After that failure, I admitted defeat. Since it is destined to be destroyed, why not… fulfill everyone’s last wish and enjoy life.”]

[“So in the fifth universe, I went to Galaxy University in advance to help Jiu Yue find the boy she lost that afternoon. Unfortunately, he seemed to have died in the Demon Abyss dimension. What a pity… But Lord Bai Ze will definitely help King Yu save their Uncle Bai, who is the warm light in their memories…”]

[Bai Ze’s eyes gradually softened, and the smile on his lips deepened: “During the seven years of college, we tasted delicious food together, traveled to the stars together, and had a lot of fights together. I didn’t have to shoulder the responsibility of saving the universe, and the process of getting along with them was the happiest time of my life.”]

[“This is the only thing I, as the captain, can do for them.”]

[“So… I see the only hope of defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon.”]

[“Ah? Is there hope that the Milky Way can defeat the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?” Xuan Ming was stunned, his pupils slightly contracted, his face full of disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong.]

[The existence that the Xuanming Adventure Group could not defeat despite their best efforts was not the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon himself, but only his offspring! ]

[“Is that the phoenix you asked us to find…”]

[“Phoenix is ​​Uncle Bai.” Bai Ze nodded, “My martial arts teacher at Galaxy University is Yan Zong Bai Xiao.]

[“Perhaps the parallel universe has changed too much, and I can no longer return to the original anchor point, so we must help Phoenix find a way to defeat the dragon in the seventh universe.”]

[Next, Bai Ze told Xuan Ming all the information he knew, including the ancient ruins of Blizzard Star, the Soul Refining Demon Lord, the Heaven Stealing Demon Lord, the wavering stance of the Nine Immortal Emperors, and the information about salvation contained in the mysterious “Box of Silence” – Bai Ze told him everything in one go.]

[The Blood Lotus Demon Dragon has always been alone, but this time his offspring has also achieved “Glory”. ]

[The situation in the universe is getting out of control at an alarming speed, sliding into an irreversible abyss. Bai Ze knows that he must regain control of the initiative.]

[Xuan Ming listened quietly until Bai Ze mentioned the “saving message of the Silence Box”. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her vision suddenly blurred. An invisible force stirred in her mind.]

[The message of salvation that Bai Ze had tried every means to decipher was gradually revealed in front of Xuan Ming’s eyes, turning into a line of clear handwriting. She stared at the line of words, and her breathing could not help but stagnate.]

[——Remember, the only way to save the world is to let “Xiao Ying” go to the center of the universe, enter the ancient ruins, and voluntarily become the world-destroying demon – the first generation Ashbringer Bei. ]

【“Xiao Ying?!”】

[Xuan Ming’s breathing suddenly stagnated.] [In her mind, the figure of the stern young man suddenly appeared – he was holding a knife, with a faint smile on his lips, and nodded to her gently: “After this matter is over, I will go to the Black Pluto Cluster, travel the universe with everyone, and feel the beauty of the world.”]

【Xuan Ming thought at the time, it was such a simple wish.】

[Xiao Ying has only a handful of friends, so he cherishes every friendship.]

[The picture suddenly shattered, replaced by the tragic battlefield of the Demonic Abyss dimension. Xiao Ying’s figure seemed particularly lonely among the group of true demons on the mountain. He stood up and turned into a river of blood, and his back was swallowed by the endless Demonic Abyss.]

[Xuan Ming’s throat seemed to be blocked by something, and breathing became heavy and difficult. She remembered that she and her companions at that time were just burdens that hindered him.]

[In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Xuan Ming practiced desperately day after day, until she finally stepped into the realm of a purple gold professional and established an adventure group that was famous throughout the universe.]

[But even so, the young man holding the knife is still an unhealed wound in her heart. ]

[Xuan Ming didn’t know that the “Eight Extremes Heaven: God and Demon Solution” that Xiao Ying used back then was not an ordinary move, but a trump card that could burn one’s life. It was a power that cost one’s life, and once it was activated, it could not be stopped until death.]

[“Can you see the information on the Silence Box clearly?” Bai Ze stared at Xuan Ming’s reaction and frowned slightly, “Who is Xiao Ying?”]

[“If…if I was stronger then…” Xuan Ming blamed himself, tears welling up in his eyes, “He could have survived…”]

【Xuan Ming took a deep breath and made a long story short.】

[She tells the story of how she left her father in her early years and unfortunately fell into the black soil layer of the Demonic Abyss dimension. This is a thorn in her heart and she has never mentioned it to outsiders, not even Bai Ze knows about it.]

[“Xiao Ying? This name sounds familiar…”]

[Bai Ze frowned, and immediately entered an overclocking state. His fingers moved rapidly in the air, and his mind was working rapidly, digging out clues about “Xiao Ying” from the depths of his memory.]

[“September? The Milky Way? The Black Soil Layer of the Demonic Abyss Dimension?”]

[Bai Ze murmured these key words in a low voice, and suddenly stopped moving, with his fingers frozen in mid-air, “The Blood Lotus Demon Lord was born. He first appeared at the edge of the Milky Way, the Ninth Line of Defense, and fought a battle with the Star General on the White Star. After that, he mysteriously disappeared and has never been active in the universe. It is suspected that he has been practicing in the Demon Abyss Dimension.”]

[“If Xiao Ying hadn’t died…”]

[Bai Ze felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth, and quickly recalled the details of the second universe in her mind. She clearly remembered that she and Xuan Ming had escaped from the hands of the “Blood Lotus Demon Dragon”.]

[The fear and despair at that time still linger in Bai Ze’s heart. ]

[After seeing the true power of the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon, she once wondered if it was really a “luck” that time. But she really couldn’t guess why the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon let them go? It made no sense to let them go against him in the entire universe, unless——]

[“He is the Blood Lotus Demon Lord!!” Bai Ze’s eyes were filled with shock.]

[Xuan Ming suppressed her inner shock. After she came out of the Demon Abyss dimension, she went to the Milky Way once. However, Xiao Ying was already a Demon Lord at that time, so how could he dare to stay in one place? Of course, he gained nothing.]

[Although Bai Ze didn’t know what Xiao Ying had experienced, from Xuan Ming’s oral account, Xiao Ying definitely didn’t volunteer to become the Demon Lord.]

[A mere Red Star martial artist from a primitive planet struggled in a place like the Demon Abyss dimension for ten years, yet he was still able to retain a trace of humanity. This is a miracle.]

[It was just that in an unknown corner, Xiao Ying suddenly changed and became a monster who only knew how to destroy. ]

【”Milky Way……”】

[Bai Ze sorted out her confused thoughts. A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, and she felt something was wrong.]

[She paused, knowing the source of the problem – the information analyzed by the Silence Box was absolutely unreliable! ]

【The center of the universe is related to the safety of the entire universe. 】

[The center of the universe is actually just an ordinary primitive planet, and its technology has barely reached the level of nuclear weapons. Because of the blockade by the Four Gods of Apocalypse, it has not yet come into contact with alien civilizations, and it does not seem to have anything special. ]

[But… it is the base of the eight parallel universes and the origin of the original gems. The reason why it is protected by the entire known universe is because the center of the universe is protecting the entire universe.]

【It is well known.】

[The universe is expanding infinitely outward from the explosion of the “singularity”. The developed star field is the “known universe”, and the undeveloped star field is the “chaotic zone”. Both are part of the universe, and life is nurtured in them. ]

[However, a scholar observed the existence of the Demon Abyss dimension 100,000 years ago, proving that there is still life outside the universe. ]

【——It is called “outer universe” and “the land of nothingness”. 】

[But in fact, the cosmic civilization has long known about the existence of the “Land of Nothingness” and has even communicated with the outside world. ]

[Once a “god-level civilization” explored the “Land of Nothingness”. They broke a “wall”, which led to a major crisis in the universe. The sky cracked, the universe stopped expanding, and all life and planets began to disappear rapidly. ]

[The advanced civilizations in the universe and the god-level civilizations are helpless]

【Panic spreads among all civilizations.】

【Just then. 】

[The “three ultimate messengers” of the Land of Nothingness were ordered to come. After they helped the universe “repair the sky”, they left the center of the universe as the cornerstone and established eight parallel universes as barriers to prevent future generations from accidentally destroying the “Wall of the Sky”.]

[Therefore, once the center of the universe is destroyed, the eight parallel universes will stop expanding and everyone will quickly disappear. ]

[Glorious and immortal beings are no exception. 】

[“But… this is a big breakthrough.” Bai Ze lightly snapped his fingers. “No matter what, knowing the identity of the Blood Lotus Demon Lord gives us a chance to defeat him!”]

【Drip drip-】

[Bai Ze piloted the Xuanming starship out of the chaotic zone, tapped his fingertips a few times, and quickly connected to the cosmic network, “Another good news. Ten years ago, Old Yan returned to the Milky Way to establish the Yan Sect… I’ll go to Piaomiao Star to pick up my teammates first.”]

【There has never been such a good start. 】

【Bai Ze is in a good mood.】

[Since that young man is Xiao Ying, as long as Jiu Yue becomes the Ultimate Messenger again, together with Phoenix, maybe this time… it will definitely succeed! ]

[Xuan Ming looked up at the starry sky and whispered, “Xiao Ying… no matter what you become, I will find you and bring you back!”]
