Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 895 The Remnant Soul Alliance (4)

The two guardians moved swiftly, quickly reaching the magic guard and conjuring energy blades in their hands, which they then slashed at.

The magic guards reacted quickly, mobilizing their gray magical energy to form a magical shield that blocked the light blades' attack. Simultaneously, they raised their hands, sending countless gray magical light blades hurtling towards the two guardians.

The two guardians nimbly dodged the attacks of the magical blades, continuously launching assaults on the magic guard. After a fierce battle, they finally slayed the magic guard and nodded to the Lord of the Stars.

The Lord of the Stars immediately stepped forward and, leading the two, carefully infiltrated the interior of the magic temple. Inside the temple, intricate magical runes filled the air, making the magical energy even more concentrated, while also containing a faint trace of gray remnant soul energy.

The three cautiously moved through the temple, searching for traces of the primordial fragments. The temple was vast, divided into multiple areas, each guarded by magical guardians, and the aura of remnant souls permeated the surroundings.

Avoiding the guards' gaze, they traversed the various areas, finally finding a secret chamber deep within the temple. At the chamber's entrance stood a powerful magical barrier, covered in gray remnant soul energy—clearly a barrier set up by the Magic Pope and the remnant soul to protect the fragments.

"The fragments should be inside the secret chamber," the Lord of the Stars said in a low voice, carefully examining the power of the magical barrier. "This barrier is very powerful, and it is also mixed with remnant soul energy. Breaking the barrier will probably not be easy."

"Let's work together to break the barrier, get the fragment, and then leave immediately," one of the guardians said.

The Lord of the Stars nodded, exchanged a glance with the two guardians, and simultaneously mobilized their power, charging towards the magical barrier. The three powers merged, forming a massive energy blade that slashed towards the barrier.

The light blade struck the barrier, unleashing a powerful energy surge that created a small crack in the barrier. However, the barrier's power was too great, and the remnant soul energy continuously repaired the crack; the light blade's power was quickly absorbed by the barrier.

"No, this barrier is too powerful; our strength is simply insufficient to break it," another guardian said anxiously.

The Lord of the Stars frowned, a sense of anxiety rising within him. He knew their time was limited; once discovered by the Magic Pope and the remnant soul, escape would be difficult.

Just then, the remnant soul fragment within him suddenly awoke and said, "This barrier is formed by the fusion of magical energy and remnant soul energy. To break it, you must use remnant soul energy as a catalyst to disrupt the barrier's balance. I can help you, but you must agree to my request: after obtaining the fragment, help me find other remnant soul fragments."

The Lord of the Stars felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the fragments of the remnant soul would not help for nothing, but now he had no other choice.

“Alright, I promise you,” said the Lord of the Stars. “As long as you help me break the barrier and obtain the fragment, I will first help you find other fragments of remnant souls.”

"It's a deal." The voice of the remnant soul fragment carried a hint of laughter. Then, a gray remnant soul energy surged out from the body of the Starry Sky Lord, merging with his Starry Sky Power to form an energy blade interwoven with silver and gray.

"Use this blade of light to slash at the core of the barrier, and you can break it," the remnant soul fragment said.

The Lord of the Stars nodded, mobilized all his power, concentrated the light blade to its limit, and slashed towards the core of the magic barrier.

The moment the light blade struck the core of the barrier, it unleashed a powerful energy shockwave, causing the cracks in the barrier to widen instantly before shattering completely.

The instant the barrier shattered, a golden light suddenly erupted from within the secret chamber—the second fragment of origin. The fragment hovered in the center of the chamber, radiating a rich primal power, resonating with the fragment in the Star Lord's hand.

"Great! We've found the fragment!" The two guardians were overjoyed and immediately rushed towards the fragment.

The Lord of the Stars breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the fragment. But just as his hand was about to touch it, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the secret chamber: "Lord of the Stars, you have indeed come. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The three Star Lords' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately turned around to look in the direction from which the sound came. Standing at the entrance to the secret chamber was an elderly man dressed in a golden papal robe, surrounded by powerful magical energy—the Magic Pope. Beside him stood a gray remnant soul, its aura powerful, clearly one of the core remnant souls of the dimensional imbalanced being.

"The Magic Pope, remnant soul!" The Lord of the Stars was filled with vigilance and immediately mobilized his power, preparing for battle.

The Magic Pope sneered and said, "Lord of the Stars, do you think you can easily obtain the fragment? This is all a trap we deliberately set to lure you here and capture you in one fell swoop."

The remnant soul let out a chilling laugh: "Lord of the Stars, your cooperation with my remnant soul fragment is utterly foolish. You thought you could control him, but little did you know, you had already been outmaneuvered by him. Now, you've fallen into our hands, and you have no chance of escape."

The Lord of the Stars felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected to fall into their trap. Moreover, the remnant soul's words sent a shiver down his spine. Could it be that the cooperation with the remnant soul fragment was a conspiracy from the very beginning?

The remnant soul fragments within him suddenly erupted, and gray energy instantly corroded his meridians, rendering him unable to mobilize any power. He was wracked with pain and collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as the Magic Pope and the remnant soul approached him.

"Lord of the Stars, hand over the fragment in your hand, and let me devour your Star Power. In return, I may grant you a quicker death," the remnant soul said coldly, reaching out to grab the fragment in the Lord of the Stars' hand.

The two guardians tried to rush forward to help, but the Magic Pope channeled his magical energy, binding them in place and rendering them unable to move. Their eyes were filled with anxiety, but they could only watch helplessly as the remnant soul's hand drew ever closer to the fragment in the Star Lord's hand.

The Lord of the Stars was filled with despair. He never imagined he would perish here. The fragments were about to be taken away, he himself was about to be devoured, the fused being would not awaken, and the super-multiverse would face annihilation.

Just as the remnant soul's hand was about to touch the fragments, the two fragments in the Star Lord's hand suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling golden light. Within the light, the remnant soul of the fused entity slowly emerged. Although her form was still illusory, it exuded a powerful primal force, instantly suppressing the remnant soul's gray energy.

"Anyone who dares to harm the Lord of the Stars, anyone who dares to seize the Origin Fragment, will have to get past me first!" The fused entity's voice was clear and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.

The Magic Pope and the remnant soul's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief: "A fusion? How did you awaken?"

The fused entity didn't answer, but instead waved its hand, sending golden primal power surging towards the Magic Pope and the remnant soul. The Magic Pope and the remnant soul hurriedly mobilized their power to block the attack. However, the power of the primal force was too overwhelming; the two were forced back, spitting out blood.
