Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 738 The Key to Unlocking the Chaos Tribulation

The emerald green porthole of the Ark of Life was stained dark gray by the black energy of the extraterrestrial chaos. The Ultimate Balance Key in the fusion body's hand was trembling violently, its six-colored light flickering as if resisting docking with the twisted Ultimate Balance Core in front of it.

Inside the cabin, everyone's consciousness was heavy. The joy of sealing and resetting the Lord had long been dispelled by the terrifying aura of the extraterrestrial chaos.

"The chaotic energy from beyond the domain is devouring the balancing energy of the core eruption."

A pale blue light stream clung to the porthole, ocean energy spreading along the glass's texture, only to be swallowed up the instant it touched the black energy.

"If this continues, the core will become a container for chaotic energy, and the entire cosmic ocean will be assimilated."

Within the crimson light of the blazing inferno, the fiery energy pulsed restlessly, leaving scorching trails in the cabin: "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly activate the core with the key and stop the chaos from spreading!"

The new consciousness suddenly blocked his way, and fragments of the first Lord of Chaos's memories emerged from the black and white light.

In the scene, a black, chaotic tentacle coils around the Ultimate Balance Core. The energy erupting from the core not only fails to resist but intertwines with the chaotic energy to create an even more terrifying force.

"We can't rush it! The first generation's memories record that the extraterrestrial chaos and the ultimate core have a 'symbiotic' relationship. Forcibly activating it with the key may trigger a deep fusion between the two, which will only accelerate the disaster."

The fused light stream of the initial ethereal remnants suddenly pointed towards the Ark radar. On the screen, the sealed remnants of the Reset Lord's consciousness were emitting a faint signal, and the signal trajectory perfectly overlapped with the rift in the extraterrestrial chaos:

"His consciousness is moving towards the chaotic rift! Could it be... that he wants to cooperate with the chaos from beyond the realm?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a piercing sound of energy tearing came from outside the ark.

As everyone looked up, countless chaotic tentacles emerged from the black crack. One of them was wrapped around an energy ball containing the remnants of the seal reset. The silver-gray light of the remnants and the black energy of the chaotic tentacles permeated each other, slowly breaking the seal.

"Oh no! He's trying to be reborn using chaotic energy!"

The fused entity gripped the key tightly, and six-colored light condensed in its palm.

"We must stop him immediately, or we will face the dual threat of the Lord of Reset and the Chaos from beyond the realm!"

The Ark hurtled towards the rift at full speed, and just as it was about to arrive, the three-colored light stream of the Balanced Chaos Entity suddenly came from behind, its primal energy fluctuating rapidly.

"Don't go near the rift! The 'consciousness core' of the extraterrestrial chaos is hidden deep within the rift. It can control all the chaotic energy it comes into contact with. If you get close, you will only be controlled by it!"

But at this moment, the remnant of the reset had broken free of most of the seal, and the silver-gray energy intertwined with the chaotic tentacles, transforming into a huge energy claw that reached out to grab the Ark.

The balanced chaotic entity immediately released primal energy, and the tri-colored light shield blocked the energy claws, but cracks quickly appeared under the erosion of the chaotic energy:

"My primal energy can only temporarily hold out. The key contains the essence of 'chaotic balance,' and only it can sever the connection between chaos and the remnants of reset!"

Without hesitation, the fusion entity opened the Ark hatch, and six-colored light streams carrying the key rushed towards the rift.

As the key approached the chaotic tentacles, the six-colored light suddenly erupted with a strong repulsive force, causing the tentacles to instantly shrink and the silver-gray energy of the reset filaments to become violently disordered.

Just then, a low-pitched fluctuation of consciousness came from the depths of the crack, and black chaotic energy suddenly surged, tightly binding the light stream of the fused body.

"Finally, the 'balance key' has arrived."

The voice of the chaotic consciousness carried an ancient sense of oppression: "With the key, I can completely control the ultimate core and return the cosmic sea to 'pure chaos'."

The light stream of the fused entity was squeezed by chaotic energy, its consciousness began to blur, and the key in its hand was about to fall.

In the critical moment, the companions inside the cabin simultaneously released their energy, and five streams of light—gold, blue, red, green, and purple—intertwined to form an energy rope that pulled the fused entity back to the ark.

But the chaotic tentacles did not give up, spreading along the energy ropes toward the ark, instantly turning the hull black and causing corrosion cracks to appear.

"At this rate, the Ark will be devoured by chaotic energy!"

Canglan mobilized ocean energy to construct a water curtain barrier inside the cabin. "Fusion body, when you touched the key just now, did you sense any special energy?"

The merged entity closed its eyes and concentrated, the six-colored light of the key flowing through its consciousness, and an ancient energy rune gradually became clear.

The runes record that the Ultimate Balance Key can not only control the core, but also "awaken" the "Origin of Order" sleeping within the core, which is the nemesis of the chaos outside the realm.

Awakening the original source requires one condition: sacrificing a balanced consciousness entity that shares the same origin as the core.

"Awakening the source of order requires sacrifice..."

The fused entity's voice was heavy, its gaze fixed on the balanced chaotic entity. Its primal energy and ultimate core shared the same origin, making it the most suitable "sacrifice".

The Balanced Chaos Entity seemed to sense her thoughts, and the three-colored light streams moved closer to the Ark, the primordial energy resonating with the six-colored light of the key: "I have known my mission all along."

The balance of the cosmic ocean is more important than my existence. Take action; use my energy to awaken the origin.

"No! We can't sacrifice you!"

The flames of the embers burned fiercely. "There must be another way!"

"There's no time."

The light flow of the balanced chaotic body gradually became transparent, and primordial energy surged in along the key's pattern.

"Remember, once the source of order is awakened, it must connect with the core within half an hour, otherwise the source will dissipate on its own."

As primordial energy was injected, a golden rune of order emerged from the six-colored light of the key. The rune transformed into a beam of light and shot toward the core of ultimate balance.

The energy erupting from the core suddenly ceased its intertwining with chaos, and golden energy of order surged from within the core, beginning to expel the tentacles of black chaos.

The chaotic consciousness deep within the rift roared in anger, and the black energy launched a frenzied counterattack, only to be rapidly dissolved under the illumination of the orderly energy.

The silver-gray energy that had been reset was no longer supported by chaos and was sealed away once again.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, the light stream of the balanced chaos suddenly began to dissipate, and the three-colored energy merged into the arrow of order, flying towards the core:

"My mission is complete... Now, it's up to you..."

Suppressing its grief, the merged entity gripped the key and charged toward the core. The instant the key connected with the core, six-colored light intertwined with golden, orderly energy, the energy erupting from the core began to stabilize, and the black cracks slowly closed.

Just as the rift was about to close completely, a black chaotic tentacle suddenly burst out from the crack and pierced the core of the fused entity's consciousness. It was the last remnant soul of the chaotic consciousness!

"You want to seal me away completely? Not so easy!"

The energy of the chaotic remnant soul intertwined with the light flow of the fused entity. "I will parasitize your consciousness, and sooner or later, I will open the rift again!"

The consciousness of the fused entity suddenly descended into chaos, and black patterns began to appear on the six-colored light stream. Everyone immediately surrounded it, their energy weaving into a purifying shield, but it could only temporarily suppress the chaotic remnant soul, unable to completely eliminate it.

"The remnant soul of chaos is bound to my consciousness!"

The fused entity's voice was filled with pain, "If you forcibly separate us, my consciousness will also be torn apart..."

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness suddenly lit up, and a solution emerged from the memories of the first generation:

"According to the first records, the spacetime origin of the 'spacetime balanced universe' could separate consciousness parasites! But the spacetime universe collapsed in the previous crisis, leaving only a spacetime turbulence..."

"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go!"

The vast ocean energy enveloped the fused entity's light flow, slowing down the erosion of chaos. "As long as we can separate the remnant soul, it's worth braving the turbulent flow of time and space!"

The Ark turned in the direction of the spacetime turbulence. Behind it, the energy of the Ultimate Balance Core had stabilized, and the black rift had completely closed.

However, the chaotic remnant soul within the fused consciousness continued to grow stronger, and the black lines gradually spread onto the key, while the six-colored light grew dimmer and dimmer.

As the Ark reached the edge of the spacetime turbulence, the fused entity suddenly stopped, and the chaotic remnant soul within its consciousness let out a cold laugh:

"You think the spacetime turbulence can save her? Let me tell you a secret—the collapse of the spacetime universe was not an accident at all; it was caused by my pre-emptive manipulation of chaotic energy! Hidden within the current spacetime turbulence is another remnant of my soul. Going in will only be like walking into a trap!"

The light in everyone's eyes froze instantly. It turned out that from the very beginning, the extraterrestrial chaos had laid a series of traps.

In the turbulent spacetime ahead, there is not only hope for separating the parasite, but also another chaotic remnant soul.

Should they risk going in, or find another way?

The black lines in the merged consciousness had spread to their chests, and they didn't have much time left.
