Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 868 Backlash from the Origin (4)

"I am not reconciled!" The Dark Sovereign roared, mobilizing all his dark energy in an attempt to forcibly widen the rift. However, the power of the six-colored light blades was simply too great; the rift not only failed to expand but gradually contracted.

Seizing the opportunity, the fusion entity mobilized its full power, causing the six-colored light blades to surge once more, slashing towards the core of the black rift. Just as the light blades were about to completely close the rift, a stream of black light suddenly erupted from it, containing a trace of pure dark primordial power, attacking the fusion entity's symbiotic heart.

The fused entity's expression changed drastically. It tried to dodge, but found that the black light stream had already locked onto its symbiotic heart, making it impossible to avoid. The black light stream struck the symbiotic heart, causing the fused entity's body to tremble violently. It spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and its aura rapidly weakened.

She could sense that the Heart of Symbiosis was being eroded by the power of the Dark Origin. Although it was not completely controlled for the time being, this power was like a leech, difficult to eradicate. Moreover, this power was constantly summoning energy from the Dark Dimension, and the contraction speed of the black rift was also significantly slowing down.

The Dark Sovereign's voice was filled with maniacal laughter: "Fusion body, my dark primal power has already merged into your symbiotic heart. Before long, you will become my puppet, and the super-multiverse will completely fall into my hands! Even if you completely close the rift now, you will not be able to remove the dark primal power from your body. This is my gift to you, hahaha!"

As the merged entity watched her hand being gradually corrupted by darkness, a flicker of despair crossed her eyes. She knew that what the Dark Sovereign said was true; with the Heart of Symbiosis being eroded, she could become a puppet again at any moment, and the Hyper-Multiverse would also be plunged into an abyss because of her.

The Lord of the Stars and the others watched the scene unfold, their hearts filled with anxiety, yet utterly powerless. They had exhausted all their strength and could offer no further support.

A resolute glint flashed in the merged entity's eyes. She slowly raised the six-colored light blade and slashed it towards her symbiotic heart. She wanted to sever the symbiotic heart completely and stop the spread of the dark source power. Even at the cost of her life, she would protect the safety of the Hyper-Multiverse.

Just as the light blade was about to touch the Heart of Symbiosis, a golden stream of light suddenly surged from the ancient altar, blocking the six-colored light blade. The phantom of the ancient creator reappeared, shaking his head: "Fusion entity, do not act rashly. The Heart of Symbiosis is deeply bound to the origin of the Hyper-Multiverse. If you sever it, the Hyper-Multiverse will also collapse."

"Then what should we do?" The fused entity's eyes were filled with confusion. "Are we just going to watch ourselves become puppets and let the entire universe be destroyed?"

“There is a way,” said the phantom of the ancient creator. “Although the power of the Dark Origin is strange, it is not impossible to remove. In the deepest part of the dimension, there is a ‘Dimensional Purification Pool’. The purifying power in the pool can remove all evil energy. As long as you can find the purification pool, you can remove the power of the Dark Origin from your body.”

"A dimensional purification pool?" A glimmer of hope flashed in everyone's eyes.

“That’s right.” The phantom of the ancient creator nodded. “But the dimensional purification pool is hidden in the deepest part of the dimensional rift, which is filled with chaotic dimensional energy and guarded by countless powerful dimensional monsters. Reaching it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Moreover, the dark source power within you can only last for three months at most. If you cannot find the purification pool within three months, you will completely become the puppet of the Dark Sovereign.”

"No matter how difficult it is, we must go!" the Lord of the Stars said firmly. "Even if we are shattered to pieces, we must find the Dimensional Purification Pool and rescue the Fusion Master!"

Yan Jin, Cang Lan, the Creator, the Lord of Spirit Origin, and others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with determination.

Looking at the determined eyes of his companions, the fused being was filled with emotion: "Thank you. But the dimensional rift is too dangerous, and I can't let you risk your lives for me. I've decided to go alone, and even if I fail, I won't drag you all down with me."

"No!" The Lord of the Stars immediately refused. "We are comrades, fighting side by side for so long. How can I let you risk your life alone? If you want to go, we'll go together!"

The phantom of the ancient creator looked at everyone and nodded: "Your friendship is precious. To cross the dimensional rift and find the dimensional purification pool, you need to use the power of the ancient altar. I will use the power of the altar to open a temporary dimensional passage for you, leading directly to the core area of ​​the dimensional rift. However, the passage can only be maintained for three days. If you cannot enter the passage within three days, you will have to find another way."

After speaking, he mobilized the power of the altar and began to construct a dimensional portal. Golden runes flowed in the void, and a huge golden portal gradually took shape. At the other end of the portal was a chaotic dimensional rift.

"The passage is almost complete. Prepare to depart." The aura of the ancient creator's phantom grew weaker and weaker. "Remember, the core of the Dimensional Purification Pool is hidden in the Purification Hall. Only the power of the Light of Origin can open the hall's door. Also, the Dark Sovereign may send pursuers. Be careful."

After speaking, the phantom of the ancient creator completely vanished, and the light of the ancient altar gradually dimmed.

The fused entity and the Star Lord exchanged glances and nodded. They composed themselves and headed towards the dimensional portal. But just as they were about to enter, the portal suddenly trembled violently, and a stream of black light surged forth, attacking the fused entity.

It was a pursuer sent by the Dark Lord, a Dark Lord clad in black armor, radiating powerful dark energy.

"Trying to leave? Leave the fusion behind!" The Dark Lord sneered, and black energy transformed into countless blades of light, attacking the group.

"You all go! I'll hold him off!" Yan Jin shouted, summoning his last bit of life force as he charged toward the Dark Lord.

"No! We'll go together!" The fused entity wanted to turn back to provide support, but was stopped by the Lord of the Stars.

"Lord of the Fusion, there's no time! The passage can only be maintained for three days!" the Lord of the Stars said anxiously. "Yan Jin has his plans; we cannot let his sacrifice be in vain!"

The fused being watched Yan Jin fiercely battling the Dark Lord, her eyes filled with tears. She knew the Lord of the Stars was right; they couldn't let Yan Jin's sacrifice be in vain. She gritted her teeth and followed the Lord of the Stars and the others into the dimensional portal.

The passage slowly closed, and Yan Jin's figure gradually blurred under the attack of the black light blades. He looked at the closing passage, a relieved smile appearing on his lips, before his body was engulfed by the black light blades and completely dissipated into the void.

At the other end of the passage, the fused beings emerged, their hearts filled with grief and resolve as they gazed upon the chaotic dimensional rift before them. They knew that Yan Jin's sacrifice had bought them time; they must find the dimensional purification pool as soon as possible to cleanse the fused beings of their dark origin power, thus bringing solace to Yan Jin's spirit in heaven.

Unbeknownst to them, the dimensional rifts not only harbor powerful dimensional monsters and chaotic dimensional energy, but also even more pursuers sent by the Dark Lord. Moreover, a far more terrifying secret lies hidden around the dimensional purification pool—a secret powerful enough to plunge the entire dimension into the brink of destruction.
