Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 869 A Perilous Journey Through a Crack (1)

The instant the dimensional portal closed, the image of Yan Jin dissipated repeatedly appeared in the mind of the fused entity. Golden tears slid from the corners of her eyes, dripping into the turbulent currents of the dimensional rift, and were instantly swallowed by the chaotic energy.

"Yan Jin's sacrifice cannot be in vain." The Lord of the Stars said in a deep voice, forcibly suppressing the grief in his heart. "We must find the dimensional purification pool as soon as possible. Every second we delay increases the danger to the Fusion Lord."

The Lord of Spiritual Essence closed his eyes, and his spiritual energy spread out like a fine spider web, cautiously probing the surrounding environment: "The energy in the dimensional rift is too chaotic. My spiritual energy can only detect a range of a thousand light-years. Not far ahead, there is a strong fluctuation of dimensional energy, which may be the lair of dimensional monsters."

Canglan mobilized the remaining spacetime power to construct a pale blue spacetime barrier around everyone: "These dimensional monsters live by devouring dimensional energy and are extremely sensitive to unfamiliar energy. Our spacetime barrier can only temporarily conceal our presence; once we get close to their lair, we will inevitably be discovered."

The Creator gripped the runic sword in his hand, the power of creation flowing around him: "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to force our way through. I will clear the way, you all protect the fused being."

Without further hesitation, the group followed the Creator, heading in the direction detected by the Lord of Spiritual Essence. Within the dimensional rifts, countless colorful dimensional currents crisscrossed wildly, and the spatial barriers were riddled with cracks like shattered glass; a moment's carelessness could lead to being swept into unknown dimensional fissures.

After traveling for about half an hour, the dimensional turbulence ahead suddenly became even more violent. Countless black shadows darted through the turbulence, these were the dimensional monsters that the Lord of Spiritual Essence had mentioned. These monsters came in various shapes and sizes. Some resembled giant octopuses, their bodies covered with suckers that could devour energy; others were like humanoid figures without facial features, obtaining energy by tearing through space; still others were like swirling energy vortices, pulverizing everything in their path.

"Watch out!" the Creator shouted, his runic sword glowing with golden light as he slashed at the foremost octopus-shaped monster. The sword flashed, and the monster let out a piercing roar as its body was severed in two, transforming into two streams of black energy that dissipated into the turbulent currents.

This single sword strike completely alarmed all the dimensional monsters in the lair. Countless black shadows surged towards the group, densely packed like a tide, surrounding them completely.

"Charge out!" The Lord of the Stars mobilized the power of the Stars, and the silver light blade swept across the monster horde. One monster after another was killed, but more monsters kept coming to take their place.

Canglan's spatial and temporal power continuously froze the surrounding turbulence, creating a temporary passage for everyone: "Quick! Follow this passage! There are too many of these monsters; we can't afford to waste time!"

The fusion entity, enduring the corrosive power of the dark origin within its body, mobilized its six-colored power to unleash an energy shockwave in front of it, blasting away the monsters blocking its path: "Everyone, stay close to me!"

The group struggled to break through the horde of monsters. The Creator's rune sword, the Star Lord's light blade, the Spirit Lord's spirit vines, and Canglan's spacetime blade worked in perfect coordination to slay the monsters around them. However, the number of dimensional monsters was simply too great, and their vitality was extremely tenacious. Even if their limbs were severed, they could regenerate rapidly. Only by completely destroying their core energy could they be eliminated.

The battle lasted a full day, leaving everyone's strength greatly depleted and their auras increasingly weak. The dark primal power within the fused body also began to stir due to the prolonged battle, its black energy flickering on her skin, gradually blurring her consciousness.

"This can't go on any longer!" the Lord of Spiritual Essence shouted, mobilizing the last bit of spiritual energy within his body, transforming it into a burst of green light that blasted back the surrounding monsters several steps. "Lord Fusion, the dark energy within you is almost uncontrollable! We must get rid of these monsters as soon as possible!"

Just then, the Creator suddenly noticed a faint golden light behind the monster horde: "Something's wrong there! It might be the direction of the Dimensional Purification Pool!"

Overjoyed, everyone rushed towards the direction of the golden light. But just as they were about to reach the light, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the turbulent currents—the leader of the dimensional monsters—a colossal vortex monster comparable in size to a planet.

The colossal vortex monster let out a deafening roar, and the turbulent currents around it became even more violent, with countless energy vortexes attacking the group. These vortexes had extremely strong devouring power; the Star Lord's silver light blade was instantly swallowed up the moment it approached, and he himself was also pulled unsteadily by the vortex's gravity.

"This is a Dimensional Vortex Beast!" The voice of the Ancient Creator suddenly resounded in everyone's minds. "It is one of the most powerful monsters in the dimensional rift, capable of devouring all energy and matter! To defeat it, we must attack the golden light at its core!"

Everyone immediately locked onto the golden light spot at the core of the Dimensional Vortex Beast, and mobilized their last bit of power to attack it. The fused entity even condensed all its remaining six-colored power into a blade of light, slashing towards the light spot.

Countless energy attacks struck the golden light spot, causing the dimensional vortex beast to let out a painful roar. Its body began to tremble violently, and the surrounding turbulence became chaotic. A small crack appeared on its core light spot, from which black energy surged, and its aura rapidly weakened.

"Now!" the Creator shouted, and the runic sword, imbued with the power of creation, pierced towards the rift. The sword light pierced through the rift, and the dimensional vortex beast let out its final roar before its body completely collapsed, transforming into countless streams of black energy that dissipated into the dimensional rift.

The surrounding dimensional monsters, now freed from their leader's control, became even more ferocious, but also lost all organization. Seizing the opportunity, the group quickly broke through towards the direction of the golden light, finally escaping the monster horde's clutches.

After traveling for about half an hour, the golden light grew increasingly intense. The group passed through a chaotic dimensional turbulence, and the scene before them was breathtaking. In a tranquil dimensional space, a palace constructed of golden runes floated in the center. In front of the palace was a pool radiating seven-colored light—the Dimensional Purification Pool.

The water in the purification pool resembled a flowing rainbow, radiating pure purifying power. This power isolated the surrounding dimensional turbulence, creating a peaceful area.

"Finally found it!" The Lord of the Stars breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

A glimmer of hope flashed in the merged entity's eyes. She could clearly feel that the power in the purification pool had a strong restraining effect on the dark primordial power within her. As long as she entered the pool, she could cleanse the dark energy within her body.

Just as everyone was about to approach the purification pool, a stream of black light suddenly surged out from the dimensional turbulence, landed in front of the purification pool, and transformed into a figure in black armor. It was another pursuer sent by the Dark Supreme - the Dark Deputy Commander.

The Dark Vice-Commander emanated dark energy far more powerful than that of the previous Dark Lord. He looked at the crowd and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "I didn't expect you to be able to pass through the lair of the dimensional monsters. However, if you want to enter the purification pool, you'll have to get past me first!"

"It's you dark minions again!" the Creator roared, his rune sword, imbued with the power of creation, attacking the Dark Vice-Commander.

The Dark Vice-Commander scoffed disdainfully, raising his hand to unleash a black energy shield that blocked the rune sword's attack. The rune sword collided with the energy shield, unleashing a powerful energy storm that sent the Creator flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"With your meager strength, you think you can contend with me?" The Dark Deputy Commander sneered, mobilizing dark energy to transform it into countless black light blades, which attacked the group.
