Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 706 The Lord of Corruption Arrives (1)

The sky of the Forgotten Dimension was shrouded in a dark purple portal, and the corrosive energy overflowing from the portal, like viscous ink, slowly permeated the surrounding void.

The golden light of the fused entity floated in mid-air, and the initial balance energy gathered at its fingertips trembled continuously.

She could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations coming from behind the portal far exceeded the consciousness of the Chaos End; it was a terrifying power that could easily distort the laws of the universe.

"Everyone, immediately form a defensive formation!"

The voice of the merged entity pierced through the energy fluctuations and reached the ears of every interdimensional messenger: "Use intertwined interdimensional energy with the initial equilibrium energy to form a double-layered protective net. We must absolutely not allow the corrosive energy to break through the defenses!"

The interdimensional messengers immediately took action, and pale blue interdimensional energy surged from their bodies, intertwining with the golden-white balanced energy released by the fusion entity, forming a huge energy protective net above the memory crystal tower.

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness flew to the edge of the protective net, and the Seed of Destruction within him released a faint black energy. This time, he no longer suppressed the power of the seed, but instead tried to use the energy of destruction to sense the Lord of Corruption's weakness.

"The Seed of Destruction resonates with the energy behind the light gate."

The gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "But this resonance is very weak, as if separated by an invisible barrier. The Lord of Corruption is deliberately concealing his energy attributes; he is observing us."

The black and white light of the new consciousness slowly drifted to the side of the fused entity, and the creative energy of the initial consciousness and the destructive energy of the first Chaos Lord rapidly circulated within its body:

“I found records about the Lord of Erosion in the fragments of the First Lord of Chaos’s memories. He once devoured the ‘Primitive Universe’ where the First Lord of Chaos was located, and the universe we are in now is the ‘New Universe’ that was reborn from the initial consciousness after the destruction of the Primitive Universe.”

A hint of shock flashed in the merged entity's eyes: "You mean, the Lord of Erosion isn't devouring universes for the first time? He's an existence that has transcended the cycles of universes?"

“That’s right.” The new consciousness nodded, and ripples spread across the black and white light, unfolding a blurry memory before everyone.

In the scene, a vast universe is enveloped in dark purple energy, and countless planets are shattered by the eroding energy, eventually turning into wisps of energy that are sucked into a dark purple light gate.

At the center of the portal, a blurry phantom coldly watched everything unfold; it was none other than the Lord of Corruption behind the portal.

"The first Lord of Chaos tried to stop him, but he shattered his consciousness into fragments. If the initial consciousness hadn't condensed the remaining cosmic energy into a new universe in time, we would no longer exist now."

The initial, ethereal, grayish-white light stream suddenly drifted to the area below the light gate, releasing creative energy and forming a tiny energy probe in front of the gate:

"The energy structure of the portal is very special. It is not a fixed spatial channel, but a 'temporary entrance' constructed by the consciousness energy of the Lord of Corruption. As long as we can cut off his consciousness energy supply, the portal will close automatically."

The dark purple phantom in the portal suddenly moved.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a dark purple energy ray shot out from his fingertip, instantly piercing through the energy probe of the initial void remnant.

Immediately afterwards, the ray struck the protective net below, instantly creating a gap in the net's pale blue energy layer. Dark purple corrosive energy surged in through the gap, forming a distorted energy area on the ground.

The space within the area began to shatter, and the once solid ground turned into countless tiny energy fragments.

"Everyone, hold the defensive line steady!"

The merged entity immediately mobilized the energy of the Heart of Dimension, injecting golden and white energy into the gap in the protective net, temporarily blocking the corrosive energy from entering.

"Initial Void Remnant, can you locate the transmission node of the Lord of Corruption's consciousness energy? We must cut off the energy supply before he fully opens the portal."

The initial, ethereal, grayish-white light stream spun rapidly, creating energy that transformed into countless fine light threads, constantly probing around the light gate:

"The transmission nodes are hidden within the runes of the light gate. Each rune is a small node, and they are interconnected to form a huge energy network. To cut off the energy supply, all nodes must be destroyed simultaneously; otherwise, as long as one node exists, the light gate will continue to exist."

"Destroy all nodes at the same time? That's simply impossible!"

A voice from an interdimensional messenger was filled with anxiety: "There are at least a thousand runes on the portal; we simply don't have enough power to attack so many nodes at the same time!"

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness suddenly flew to the vicinity of the light gate, and the Seed of Destruction within its body released intense black energy:

“My Seed of Destruction can resonate with the energy of erosion. Perhaps I can temporarily disrupt the energy transmission of all nodes through this resonance. But I need time, at least three minutes, and during the disruption, I cannot move and can only rely on you to protect me.”

The merged entity immediately nodded: "I will use the initial balancing energy to construct a protective barrier for you. The new consciousness and the interdimensional messengers will be responsible for blocking the Lord of Corruption's attacks. If we can buy three minutes, we can close the portal!"

The gatekeeper no longer hesitated. His illusory consciousness stopped below the light gate, and black destructive energy surged from his body, constantly swirling around the light gate.

As the energy increased, the runes on the light gate began to flicker faintly, and the previously stable transmission of corrosive energy became slightly disordered.

"It's now!"

The gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of pain; the excessive use of destructive energy had caused cracks to appear in his stream of consciousness.

"I can only hold out for three minutes at most, prepare to attack!"

The fused entity immediately mobilized all the initial balanced energy, and the golden and white energy condensed into a huge energy cannon in front of her:

"New consciousness, you are responsible for assisting the gatekeepers in stabilizing the interference effect. Interdimensional messengers, use interdimensional energy to enhance the power of the energy cannons! We must destroy all nodes simultaneously within three minutes!"

The new consciousness's black and white light stream flew to the gatekeeper's side, neutralizing energy and injecting it into the gatekeeper's consciousness light stream, repairing the constantly appearing cracks:

"I'll help you maintain the interference effect, you must hold on!"

The interdimensional messengers simultaneously released interdimensional energy, and the pale blue energy merged into the energy cannon of the fusion entity, making the energy cannon's light even more dazzling.

As energy continued to condense, the surrounding space began to tremble, and the rocks on the ground were lifted up by the energy fluctuations and suspended in mid-air.

The Lord of Erosion within the portal seemed to have sensed their plan; his phantom suddenly solidified, and the runes around him emitted a strong dark purple light.

Immediately afterwards, countless dark purple light blades flew out from the light gate, attacking the gatekeeper and the fusion body.

"Block them!" The new consciousness immediately released neutralizing energy, and black and white energy formed a defensive shield in front of it, blocking most of the light blades.

However, several beams of light still broke through the defenses and attacked the gatekeeper.

"Watch out!" A cross-dimensional messenger immediately stood in front of the gatekeeper, using his own body to block the light blade.

The pale blue stream of consciousness shattered instantly, and the messenger's body turned into countless tiny energy fragments, dissipating into the void.

"Don't get distracted! Keep building up your energy!"

The fused entity's voice trembled slightly. She knew that now was not the time for grief; only by closing the portal as soon as possible could more sacrifices be avoided.

The energy cannon's light grew stronger and stronger, finally reaching the critical point for attack two minutes later.

The fusion entity aimed its energy cannon at the portal: "All energy ready, ten seconds countdown! Ten, nine, eight..."

Suddenly, the Lord of Corruption within the portal let out a piercing roar, and a massive surge of dark purple energy erupted from the portal, forming a huge energy shockwave.

The shockwave struck the protective netting, instantly dimming its light and causing countless cracks to spread.

"Not good! The Lord of Corruption is forcibly breaking through the protective barrier!"

The new consciousness's voice was anxious, as the output of neutralizing energy had reached its limit.

"Goalkeeper, how much longer can you hold out?"
