Chapter 301 The Names of the Eight Primal Gems, and the Crimson Sun That Is Nearby!

"The Destroyer?!"

The star generals under the Radiant King summoned their weapons, their eyes fixed on the Divine Dragon, September, wary of a ferocious beast that might pounce at any moment.

"Stop! She's not the Dragon Messenger."

[The Radiant King raised his hand to stop the Star General.]

"A perfect life form, with a head like a camel, antlers like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, claws like an eagle... combining all the beauty and power of the world." He looked at the Time Dragon behind September, his face filled with shock.

"It can't be wrong...it absolutely can't be wrong."

"This is—the ancient divine dragon!"

[The Demonic Abyss's will malfunctioned, and the Demonic Dragon and Phoenix briefly confronted each other. The Demonic Dragon behind the crimson armor stared intently at the group, its invisible aura alone suffocating even the Radiant Powerhouses. However, the Demonic Dragon seemed to be wary of Phoenix White Owl, and ultimately chose to retreat.]

They dared not enter the chaotic zone, hence the use of the Milky Way as a boundary!

[—An ancient divine dragon, a born mythical beast and a child of the universe, a high-dimensional life form, not like the winged lizard like the Demon Emperor Tiamat. From birth, it possesses mastery of rules and divine powers! It roams the vast universe!]

[It is also a symbol of the will of the universe.]

"The Phoenix's 'Sky-Splitting Palm' and the Demonic Dragon's 'Eighth-Level Heaven'," Bai Ze said. "September has already cultivated the essence of the Dragon and Phoenix martial arts to its peak, becoming the third martial arts grandmaster in the universe!"

This is the source of Bai Ze's confidence. After learning about the Demon Dragon's identity in the Seventh Universe, he was able to learn the foundation of the "Extreme Demon Dragon" technique. Under Lao Yan's tutelage, they are now far stronger than before.

"You've actually managed to learn the Demonic Dragon Martial Arts..." King Radiant exclaimed, looking at Bai Ze, "The Observer is already close to omniscience?"

[The names of the eight primordial gems—Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji, Taixu, Destruction, and Omniscience—were given by later generations, but they represent a portion of the meaning of the primordial gems.]

In fact, the abilities of those who awaken the Primal Gems are not entirely the same.

[It seems to be related to mental state.]

Furthermore, the three primordial gems—Taiyi, Taichu, and Destruction—have never been tested by anyone at the center of the universe. According to the Four Gods of Apocalypse, once awakened, they would undoubtedly possess—ultimate power!

"It's far from good enough," Bai Ze shook his head.

The observer's abilities are infinitely far from achieving "omniscience."

[—Even one in a billion of the infinite is still infinite. If the infinite is divided, it ceases to be infinite; what then is it?]

[Her mind couldn't even grasp a fraction of the universe, let alone talk about infinity.]

[Due to the existence of the Observer's Gem, the legendary eight parallel universes exist. The Locust Plague - Insect Emperor, and the Radiant Blazing King hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to the Dragon Squad and the Dark Nether Squad attacking the Blood Lotus Throne.]

[Firstly, to gather information about the Demon Dragon's condition; secondly, even if this attempt fails, it can still strengthen the Eighth Universe's fighting force.]

When facing a dragon, running away won't solve the problem.

They would have to face the demonic dragon sooner or later. Ever since the Demonic Abyss's will malfunctioned, even the "escapee faction" and "fence-sitters" among the immortal emperors had despaired—to escape "beyond the universe," they needed to retrieve their True Spirit Mark in order to avoid their fate of annihilation.

[Without the corrupting influence of the Demonic Abyss's will, extracting the true spirit of a radiant life form from the will of the universe? What a joke!]

Anyone can escape... but they can't.

Never before have the great civilizations and powerful beings of the universe been so united. Hatred, conflict, and self-interest have all been cast aside in this moment.

Ancient beings and radiant figures from advanced civilizations across the universe, utilizing informational "cosmic artifacts" preserved from their civilizations, learned of the destruction of six parallel universes and sighed in sorrow.

If the twelve primordial gods hadn't broken out into a civil war under the instigation of outsiders, would the universe be in this state?

Having used eight Primal Stones to restart the universe, there's no going back...

The Divine Dragon Squad and the Xuanming Squad are small in number, but each member has mastered the "ultimate intent," combining their physical bodies with their awakened abilities to create a unique cosmic martial art, making them at least martial arts masters.

[Among them, those with legendary or higher combat power include Xuanming, Yuwang, Bai Ze, and Jiuyue, plus four other Primal Gem Awakeners!]

Eight powerful figures led the charge, their unparalleled momentum surging into the Blood Lotus Demon Army, stretching for millions of light-years.

Bai Ze used his Observer ability to establish a "Mind Link Channel," and an invisible wave spread out, connecting everyone's consciousness. The team members cooperated seamlessly.

The Blood Lotus Demon Army's formation was completely disrupted, and countless demon soldiers crumbled under the onslaught of the Divine Dragon and Xuanming.

【boom--!】

The aurora borealis was formed from the combined energy of eight powerful individuals, like a sharp sword piercing the heart of the Blood Lotus Demon Army. The sea of ​​blood churned, and countless demonic soldiers turned to ashes under the aurora's glow.

[In this star field, Carlos, the commander-in-chief of the Blood Lotus Demon Army, personally intervened to stop the Xuanming Squad, but was killed in battle after only three Blood Lotus Years.]

[The first legendary warrior to fall in the North-South War!]

"Warning! Warning! Lord Carlos has fallen!!"

"This squad includes one Radiant Level expert and several Weak Radiant Level experts... They are all martial arts masters!"

"Oh no! Their target seems to be—the Blood Lotus Throne Star!!"

A black-robed strategist from the demon army abruptly stood up. He swiftly raised his hand, connecting with the "Crimson Sun." The strategist's voice, transmitted through the Crimson Sun's energy, echoed through the void.

["Emergency! The target may be Blood Lotus Throne Star! Requesting immediate return to defense!"]

The crimson sun flickered in the void, conveying an urgent message. However, the messengers of destruction in other star systems showed little sign of alarm.

[The Phantom Princess leaned languidly against the dragon's nest inside the celestial starship, her long legs crossed, her slender fingers holding a crystal-clear goblet filled with scarlet wine, reflecting her alluring yet aloof face.]

"Southern Universe 123849...345, Crimson Cannon, adjust to southeast direction by 3.1345 light-years, fire!"

[The Phantom Princess slowly stood up, her long dress cascading down like flowing water, outlining her alluring figure. A crimson light screen appeared before her eyes, and she began to give commands.]

[Due to her limited personal combat strength, Huan Ji is not on the front lines, but rather commands the Blood Lotus Demon Army through a network built upon the "Crimson Sun."]

[Master of Micro-Management.]

[This is purely a personal hobby.]

【boom--!】

The Blood Lotus Demon Army's celestial starship slowly charged, immense energy gathering at its bow, emitting a deep hum. With a command, a beam of energy shot out, instantly shattering a distant, uninhabited planet.

[A silent, magnificent burst of fireworks.]

Immediately afterwards, in an asteroid field 7.45 light-years away, a planetary-sized lightning spear suddenly struck, its surface crackling with violent lightning power, heading straight for the starship like divine punishment.

The starship's defensive barriers were like paper before the Thunder Spear, instantly pierced through. A massive explosion engulfed the starship, and flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire star field.

"Wrong again! How cunning!"

[Phantom Princess was so angry she jumped up and down.]

"Next... Southern Universe 12149...345, Crimson Cannon, adjust westward by 2.5345 light-years, fire!" Her gaze was fixed on the star map on the light screen, her fingers rapidly moving across the void, adjusting the coordinates of the Crimson Cannon.

"Lady Huanji! Please rest!" came the terrified voice of the demon army strategist in charge of that star field. They didn't want to die, much less lose their entire fleet because of Huanji's command.

"Are you questioning the command of the Great Destroyer?!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"Don't worry! This time it definitely won't be wrong!"

【boom--!】

The Blood Lotus Demon Army perished together with a starship from an advanced civilization in the Southern Universe; the explosion's light burst forth in the void.

"It seems I guessed wrong again, sorry... but she's truly beautiful~~"

[The Phantom Princess tilted her head back and took a sip of fine wine, admiring the distant star field stained crimson by a sea of ​​blood.]

Just then, the dim "scarlet sun" on Huanji's forehead began to glow faintly.

"Attack on the Blood Lotus Throne Star?"

"That was just a little trick by the Blazing King to force us to retreat... Don't worry about it. Since they're courting death, let them die!"

[A slight, mocking smile played on Huan Ji's lips; she utterly disdained such a scheme.]

To be honest, she couldn't wait for the Radiant Blazing King, the Profound True Demon Emperor Ling Xian, and the Arcane Emperor Vic to attack the Blood Lotus Throne Star.

"Wait, Lady Huanji, we haven't found any trace of the Demon Emperor..." A demon army strategist's voice reached Huanji's ears from the crimson sun. "Huh? Someone else has taken over?"

[Huan Ji suddenly raised an eyebrow, raised her hand, and with a light swipe of her fingertip, a scarlet light screen unfolded before her, displaying the scene of the Divine Dragon Squad and the Xuanming Squad sweeping through the sea of ​​blood.]

"To send a bunch of little guys to attack the Blood Lotus Throne? Is it to destroy the Crimson Sun? How naive..."

"Let's go back and stop her!" Just then, the voice of the Demon Swordsman, Jasmine, rang in the Destroyer's ears.

"Huh?!" Huanji was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "Demon Blade, what's wrong with you? A mere bunch of little brats, and you're all this nervous?"

"I said... go back!" The voice of the Demon Swordswoman, Jasmine, was more serious than ever before, brooking no argument.

[His Majesty the Dragon King's four Destroyers are of equal rank, yet he spoke in a commanding tone… Huan Ji's brows furrowed even more, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, but before she could speak, the sound of the Dragon Halberd rang out.]

"Even though Father God is not here, we must protect his throne... To allow these weaklings to touch Blood Lotus Star would be an insult to Father God!"

"Master Lei Dong, you're the closest. Stop him! I'll be right there." Long Ji's gaze fell upon the approaching figure several light-years away—the Demon Emperor Vic.

"Understood," Gunbane Messenger Lei Dong replied on the Crimson Sun Network.

"Then come back." Seeing that the three envoys were so insistent, Huan Ji gave a soft hum, sat back down in the dragon's nest, picked up her wine cup, and took a small sip.

【boom! 】

Ten years later, the Divine Dragon Squad and the Xuanming Squad fought their way into the core area of ​​the Blood Sea, now only 100,000 light-years away from the Blood Lotus Throne Star.

Two small teams moved through the sea of ​​blood, surrounded by an endless crimson tide, with demonic soldiers surging forward like a never-ending wave.

Despite their unstoppable momentum, the sheer number of demonic soldiers rapidly depleted their physical strength, abilities, and mental energy.

"Without several Radiant experts, there's simply no way to stop these two teams. Deep within the Sea of ​​Blood, even the destructive Crimson Technology, capable of dealing with 'Radiant Energy Level' enemies, is unusable..."

The Blood Lotus Demon Army generals stood at a distance, their faces grim, yet none dared to step forward to fight.

[Of course, the deaths of legendary figures on the front lines also played a role, leading the Blood Lotus Demon Army generals to deliberately hold back and generally refrain from personally intervening to stop the two squads.]

In this situation, both teams are getting closer and closer to the Crimson Sun.

【Boom! 】

[Within the Divine Dragon Squad—the main force, "Yu Wang," a Radiant-class bio-mecha forged from the remains of a "Child of the Universe," was suddenly sent flying backward, the immense impact halting the entire squad's momentum.]

A fully armored dragon knight came into view.

The dragon knight stood tall in the void, clad in heavy white bone armor, his crimson cloak billowing behind him even without wind. In his hand he gripped a massive spear, and in his left, a circular shield bearing the mark of a scarlet sun.

"That's the crimson sun mark that only the Destroyer possesses."

Bai Ze's gaze suddenly sharpened, and her voice immediately rang out in the team channel: "Watch out! This guy is a Gunbane Messenger!!"

At the same time, Bai Ze quickly informed all members of the basic abilities of the Spear Skeleton Envoy: "The Spear Skeleton Envoy, one of the four Destruction Envoys, excels in close combat. Note that the shield in his hand can deflect all energy attacks."

"Rebounding everything?"

"The shield's rebound limit is unknown, and its combat nature is calm and cautious; even Demon Emperor Vic cannot defeat it quickly."

Xuanming's gaze sharpened. What if the other Destroyers returned...?

"Your journey ends here."

[The Spearman Lei Dong stood between the two squads and the Crimson Sun. His gaze, through his mask, coldly swept over the members of the Divine Dragon Squad and the Xuanming Squad, and he slightly raised his spear.]

The battle is about to begin.

[The Gun-wielding Messenger, Lei Dong, alone is no match for so many powerful individuals, but he only needs to stall for time and wait for reinforcements.]

【boom! 】

He held a shield in his left hand, the crimson sun mark at its center radiating a dazzling light. Every attack from the Xuanming Squad was deflected by the shield, energy waves exploding in the void and creating violent ripples.

[Using the shield-like force of the crimson sun, the Xuanming Squad was unable to defeat the Spearman for a long time. Every attack was perfectly neutralized, and the reflected energy even forced the squad members to focus on defense.]

[With the addition of the Blood Lotus Demon Army, the battle between the two sides has been deadlocked for three Blood Lotus Years.]

The two teams could only advance slowly for 30,000 light-years; the Blood Lotus Throne, hanging at the edge of the horizon, remained unreachable.

"Just a mere messenger of destruction." One of the Primal Gem Awakeners finally lost his temper, letting out a furious roar as a dazzling light erupted from his body, pushing the power of the Primal Gem to its limit.

The crimson sun mark at the center of the shield suddenly lit up, its rebounding force completely deflecting the power of the Primal Gem back. The awakened one, caught off guard, was struck by his own energy and rendered powerless to fight.

[The Xuanming Squad has suffered a casualty.]

"It seems we can't conserve our energy!" Bai Ze's voice rang out in the team channel. She quickly issued the order, "Yu Wang, Gong Gong, you stay behind to cover the rear."

"The next 70,000 light-years?" Yu Wang asked in a deep voice as he shattered a crimson greatsword with a punch. Cracks covered the surface of Yu Wang's bio-mech, and its energy fluctuations became chaotic.

"Leave it to me!" September's voice rang out, and her figure suddenly rose, bursting forth with dazzling light. Her body was gradually enveloped in light, transforming into a gigantic aurora dragon.

【hold head high--!!】

A dragon's roar echoed through the void, and the Aurora Dragon of September suddenly spread its phoenix wings—and then activated its time-reversal ability.

[Ten minutes later, the Xuanming Squad members returned to their pre-battle condition, and the Primal Gem Awakener who had been knocked down by the rebounding force also stood up again.]

"That aura?! Your Majesty?!"

[The body of the Gun-Bone Envoy, Lei Dong, was also being pushed back. He sensed that the aura emanating from the Aurora Dragon that September had transformed into was of the same origin as the Extreme Dao Demon Dragon, causing his mind to momentarily become dazed.]

The aurora dragon that September transformed into has already charged towards the Blood Lotus Throne Star!

"A perfect opportunity! The sword points out—!!"

Xuanming raised his hand, his fingers together, and a jet-black sword light condensed at his fingertips. He gently touched the chest of Lei Dong, the Spearman.

That seemingly insignificant detail contained terrifying power. A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of Lei Dong's white bone armor, the crack rapidly spreading until it finally shattered with a "crack."

[During the brief rebirth of the Thunderous Bone Armor.]

Seizing the opportunity, the Xuanming Squad swiftly broke through Lei Dong's defenses and sped towards the Blood Lotus Throne Star.

A dazzling aurora borealis stretched time in its wake, slowing down and even halting the movements of the demonic soldiers.

[Fifty thousand light years...]

[Thirty thousand light-years...]

Eight thousand light-years...

The crimson sun's rays grew increasingly dazzling, drawing ever closer.

Like a giant, blood-red pupil watching over the battlefield, the members of the Xuanming Squad felt an unprecedented pressure, but their steps did not falter in the slightest.

[In September, the "heart" can already see the tiny black iron throne floating thousands of light-years below the "Blood Lotus Throne"!]

[Atop the Black Iron Throne, a tall figure clad in dragon armor sat, one hand supporting his head, as if resting.]

That must be the supreme ruler of the Blood Lotus Demon Army—Northern Demon Dragon Xiao Ying!

"—A pitch-black storm!!!"

In the void, a colossal object suddenly appeared, instantly transforming into a raging black tornado. Wherever the tornado passed, the void was torn apart, turning into chaos.

[The Dragon of Time Clashes with the Dark Storm!]

【boom--!】

The body of the Time Dragon trembled violently under the impact of the crimson energy; the radiance on its scales rapidly dimmed, and the power of time became disordered.

September's body flew backward through the void, her figure gradually shrinking back to human form as she gazed at the steel dragon warrior not far away.

"The Demon Dragon Messenger..."
