Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 799 A Three-Way Standoff (1)

The aura of the Lord from Beyond the Realm drew ever closer, and the frequency of spatial tremors increased. The Lord of the Chaos Dimension manipulated the black sphere, releasing gray energy to construct a defensive barrier around it: "Think carefully! Either help me block the Lord from Beyond the Realm, or you will be devoured by his corrupting energy!"

The fused entity stared sharply at the black sphere: "Before making a decision, I need you to prove what you're saying is true. If you are of the same origin as the core, you should be able to sense its energy fluctuations. Tell me what its deepest secret is."

The black sphere remained silent for a moment, then the ancient voice resounded once more: "Deepest within the core of the cosmic sea's origin lies the 'Dimensional Origin Rune.' It is a mark left at the birth of dimensions, recording the initial rules of all dimensions. Only by merging with the core can I activate the rune and reshape the dimensional balance."

This secret was known only to the fused entity and the three original consciousnesses; even Blue Star had never heard of it. The fused entity's doubts lessened slightly, but before she could speak, a black torrent suddenly burst through the passage, and the figure of the Lord of the Extraterrestrial Realm appeared before them. He was enveloped in even denser extraterrestrial energy than before, his eyes flashing with a crazed red light: "Lord of the Chaotic Dimension! I didn't expect you to still be alive! Perfect, I will absorb your power, seize the original core, and become the sole ruler of this dimension!"

The Lord of the Outer Realms waved his hand, unleashing black energy that slammed towards the defensive barrier of the Lord of the Chaos Dimension. The barrier trembled violently, and the gray energy dissipated continuously. The Lord of the Chaos Dimension roared, "What are you all standing there for! If you don't help, we'll all die!"

The fusion entity gritted its teeth and made a decision: "Yan Jin, Cang Lan, you two will stand with me against the Lord of the Outer Realm; Lord of Nothingness, Queen of Magic, Elder of the Elements, you will protect the Lord of the Chaos Dimension and prevent him from being corrupted by the energy from the Outer Realm!"

The three sides instantly engaged in fierce combat. The fused entity transformed into a multicolored stream of light, its lightsaber piercing straight for the throat of the Lord of the Outer Realm; Yan Jin's life energy transformed into vines, binding the Lord of the Outer Realm's limbs; Cang Lan mobilized spacetime energy, freezing the space around the Lord of the Outer Realm. However, the Lord of the Outer Realm's power far exceeded everyone's expectations. He suddenly unleashed his energy, shattering the vines and the frozen spacetime, and black energy transformed into a giant claw, slamming towards the three of them.

"Watch out!" the fused entity shouted, and the three of them worked together to construct an energy shield. The giant claw struck the shield, shattering it instantly. The three were blasted away, energy fragments spilling from their mouths. The Lord of the Outer Realms sneered and charged towards the Lord of the Chaos Dimension once more: "No one can stop me!"

The Lord of Nothingness immediately unleashed his power of nothingness, forming a black wall of light that blocked the Lord of the Outer Realms' path. The Magic Queen and the Elemental Elder also joined forces to unleash magic and elemental energy, attacking the Lord of the Outer Realms' flanks. The Lord of the Outer Realms was forced to stop and engage the three in a fierce battle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Lord of Chaos Dimension mobilized gray energy to repair the defensive barrier: "Fusion body, quickly prepare the fusion ritual for me! As long as I fuse with the Origin Core, I can instantly kill the Lord of the Outer Domain!"

Despite her injuries, the fused being stood up, a lingering unease in her heart. She looked at the black sphere and suddenly noticed a faint trace of extraterrestrial energy mixed within the gray energy flow on its surface—the same energy originating from the Lord of the Extraterrestrial Realms!

"You're lying!" the fused entity roared, its five-colored lightsaber pointing directly at the black sphere. "You have the aura of extraterrestrial energy on you. You are not a Lord of Chaos Dimensions at all; you are an ancient leader of an extraterrestrial race!"

The black sphere shuddered violently, and the ancient voice turned shrill: "What nonsense are you spouting! I was only slightly contaminated by extraterrestrial energy!"

"Slight contamination?" The fusion entity sneered. "These traces of contamination perfectly match the timing of the dimensional imbalance. You are the very culprit who caused the dimensional separation back then! You've been dormant for so long just to wait for the dimensional balance to become disordered, so you could seize the opportunity to merge with the original core and control all dimensions!"

The truth was exposed. The black sphere erupted with a powerful black light, the gray energy on its surface receded, revealing a black core covered in extraterrestrial runes. From within the core came the furious roar of the extraterrestrial leader: "Since you've discovered me, I'll stop pretending! That's right, I am the ancient leader of the extraterrestrial race! Today, I will merge with the primordial core and make all dimensions the pastures of the extraterrestrial race!"

The Lord of the Outer Dimension was also stunned, then burst into laughter: "So it's an ancient leader! I didn't expect we were of the same race! Why don't we join forces, wipe out these low-dimensional ants first, and then divide the control of the dimension equally!"

"Dream on!" the ancient leader roared. "Only one ruler can exist among the extraterrestrial races! Once I merge with the Origin Core, you will be the first one I destroy!"

The Lord of the Outer Realm's expression darkened, and he turned to the merged entity, shouting, "Merged entity, let's join forces for now! Let's eliminate this traitor first, then settle our scores! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

The situation instantly reversed, transforming from a three-way standoff into a bizarre "enemy of my enemy is my friend" scenario. The fused entity didn't hesitate, immediately nodding: "Fine! But if you dare try anything funny, I'll be the first to wipe you out!"

The two formed a temporary alliance and charged towards the ancient leader. The ancient leader, controlling the black core, unleashed countless black energy rays towards the group. The fused entity and the Lord of the Outer Realm combined their strength to construct an energy shield, blocking the ray attacks. Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others immediately joined the battle, launching a fierce assault on the black core.

"It's useless! My core energy originates from the dimensional origin; you can't destroy it at all!" The ancient leader laughed wildly, and its black core suddenly expanded, releasing a powerful suction force that began to absorb the surrounding dimensional energy. "In a few more minutes, I will be able to accumulate enough energy to forcibly establish a connection with the original core!"

The merged entity was anxious, and suddenly remembered what Elder Vile had mentioned about the "Dimensional Origin Rune": "Ancient Leader, do you think that absorbing dimensional energy can fuse with the Origin Core? You have no idea that without the approval of the Dimensional Origin Rune, forced fusion will only trigger a dimensional explosion!"

The ancient leader's expression changed: "How do you know about the dimensional origin runes?"

"Because I can sense its presence!" The fused entity mobilized the power within its body that coexisted with the cosmic sea, and a faint golden rune appeared in its palm. "This is a fragment of the dimensional origin rune! When the dimensions separated, the rune shattered into countless pieces, scattered throughout the multiverse. Only by gathering all the fragments can one gain the rune's recognition!"

The ancient leader panicked completely, and the suction force of the black core suddenly intensified: "I don't care! Even if it causes a massive explosion, I'm going to give it a try!"

The Lord of the Outer Dimension also sensed the danger: "The Fusion Being, we must stop him! Otherwise, the entire dimension will be destroyed!"

The fusion entity nodded and tossed the rune fragment into the air: "Flame, Azure Wave, mobilize all your primal energy and inject it into the rune fragment!"

The three combined their power, infusing the fragment with multi-dimensional primal energy. The golden rune fragment erupted with intense light, transforming into a gigantic rune phantom in the air. The fused entity shouted, "Lord of the Outer Realms, use your extraterrestrial energy to activate the rune phantom! Only the combination of primal energy and extraterrestrial energy can temporarily suppress the core of the ancient leader!"
