Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 779 Hidden Tricks in the Crystal Core (1)

The moment the giant black hand gripped the probe ship, the hull emitted a piercing metallic creak, and the energy shield cracked inch by inch under the pressure of the Lord of the Outer Realms.

The fused entity held the Origin Crystal tightly in its palm, its energy intertwining with that of the Heart of the Universe's Origin. Multicolored and purple light entwined into a rope of light, attempting to break free from the giant hand's restraints.

"It's no use! My consciousness projection, though not my physical body, is still enough to crush you!"

The voice of the Lord of the Outer Realm shook everyone's consciousness, and the force of the black giant hand suddenly increased, causing the deck of the probe ship to begin to peel off.

The Lord of Nothingness suddenly condensed all his void power into needles and pierced them through the gaps between the giant hand's fingers: "Attack his energy nodes! The energy flow of the consciousness projection is traceable!"

Yan Jin immediately cooperated, his green life energy transforming into countless threads of light that pierced through the gaps created by the power of nothingness, precisely binding the black energy flow within the giant hand. Cang Lan mobilized spacetime energy, folding the space around the giant hand to slow its contraction.

The three primordial consciousnesses joined forces to activate the primordial tokens. The energy of the Wheel of Order, the Sands of Time and Space, the Stone of Chaos, and the Ring of Nothingness converged into a four-colored beam of light, which slammed into the wrist of the giant hand.

With a crisp "crack," a crack appeared in the giant black hand, and the force binding the probe ship noticeably weakened.

The fusion entity seized the opportunity and unleashed the full energy of the Origin Crystal and the Heart of the Universe. The multicolored purple light transformed into a blade of light, slashing down along the crack.

The giant black hand shattered with a deafening roar, dissipating into a sky full of black energy.

The projection of the Lord of the Outer Realms' consciousness let out an angry roar, its figure becoming somewhat illusory: "You cannot escape! The day the true body descends will be the day the Cosmic Sea is destroyed!"

The projection gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the probe ship had been severely damaged and had to return immediately to a temporary supply station at the edge of the space sea for repairs.

During the restoration, the fused entity placed the Crystal of Origin and the Heart of the Universe together to carefully study their connection.

She discovered that when the two crystals come into contact, a peculiar resonant energy is generated. This energy can both suppress external energies and nourish the surrounding primordial forces.

"As long as the three treasures of the universe are gathered, this resonant energy can reach its peak, enough to fight against the true form of the Lord of the Outer Realm."

The fused entity said, its eyes filled with hope, "Now we have two pieces, only the fragments of the Chaos Origin Pearl are not yet complete."

Yan Jin took out the three fragments of the Chaos Origin Beads he had collected; the gray fragments still retained faint traces of chaotic energy.

“We found these three fragments in the eastern part of the Cosmic Sea. Based on energy sensing, the remaining fragments should be distributed in the western and southern regions.”

"Without delay, once the probe ship is repaired, we will immediately split up and take action."

The primordial consciousness of order said, "The true form of the Lord of the Outer Realms may descend at any moment, and we must gather the fragments as soon as possible."

Three days later, the probe ship was repaired. The group split into two groups again: Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the Chaos Origin Consciousness went to the western part of the cosmic sea.

The fused entity, the Lord of Nothingness, and the consciousness of the origin of order head south to continue their search for fragments of the Chaos Origin Pearl.

The fusion group boarded a probe ship and flew towards the southern part of the cosmic sea.

The southern region is a dense belt of nebulae filled with ancient planetary debris, exhibiting extremely complex energy fluctuations.

“Fragments of the Chaos Origin Pearl emit unique chaotic energy, and my Void Power can sense its location.”

The Lord of Nothingness unleashed the power of nothingness, spreading it across the entire nebula belt. "It's on that abandoned planet over there!"

The probe landed on the abandoned planet. As the crew stepped out of the cabin, they discovered that the surface was riddled with cracks and the air was filled with dense chaotic energy.

At the center of the planet, a fist-sized gray fragment floats in mid-air, emitting a faint light.

"Found it!" The primordial consciousness of order rushed over excitedly, reaching out to grab the fragment.

Just as he was about to touch the fragment, it suddenly erupted with a burst of black energy, violently repelling him.

"Watch out! The fragments have been tampered with!" the fused entity shouted, immediately mobilizing the energy of the Heart of the Universe's Origin to construct a shield.

The ground around them began to shake, and countless black tentacles emerged from the cracks, attacking the group.

At the tip of the tentacles are embedded tiny golden seeds, marking the origin of the universe.

"They are remnants of the origin universe!"

The Lord of Nothingness snorted coldly, and the black power of nothingness transformed into a sharp blade, severing the oncoming tentacles. "They actually used the fragments of the Chaos Origin Pearl to set a trap!"

A familiar figure emerged from the depths of the planet; it was the dark gold-armored powerhouse who had escaped earlier.

His body was covered in black patterns, clearly indicating that he had been modified by extraterrestrial energy, making him even more powerful than before.

"You didn't expect this, did you? I knew you'd come here looking for the fragments."

The powerful figure in dark gold armor revealed a strange smile. "These tentacles have been enhanced by the energy of the Lord of the Outer Realms. The golden seeds on them can absorb your source power and become nourishment for the Lord of the Outer Realms' body!"

He waved his hand, and more black tentacles emerged from the ground, forming a huge net that enveloped the crowd.

The fusion entity immediately combined the energy of the Origin Crystal and the Heart of the Universe, and the five-colored purple light transformed into a shield of light, blocking the tentacle's attack.

"Could Yan Jin and the others have also encountered a trap?" The fusion body felt a chill in its heart. It tried to contact Yan Jin through the communicator, but found that the communication signal was blocked and it could not be connected at all.

"Don't worry about them, deal with the enemy in front of us first!"

The Lord of Nothingness spoke, and the power of black nothingness intertwined with the power of order of the original consciousness, forming a double blade of light that slashed towards the dark gold armored warrior.

The powerful figure in dark gold armor remained completely calm, using his black tentacles to form a barrier that blocked the attack of the light blade.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Do you think I'm still the same person I was before? After absorbing the energy of the Lord of the Outer Realms, my power has far exceeded your imagination!"

He suddenly clasped his hands together, and the black energy merged with the energy of the golden seed, transforming into a huge energy ball that hurtled towards everyone.

Wherever the energy ball passed, the space was corroded, leaving black streaks.

The fused entity immediately channeled all the energy from the Heart of the Universe and the Crystal of Origin into the light shield, causing it to expand rapidly and collide with the energy sphere. A violent explosion rang out, and everyone was thrown back by the shockwave, energy residue spilling from their mouths.

"At this rate, we will be completely exhausted."

The consciousness of the origin of order struggled to its feet, its golden light somewhat dimmed. "We must find his weakness and defeat him in one blow!"

The fusion entity carefully observed the powerful figure in dark gold armor and noticed that the black patterns on his body had become somewhat dim after the energy ball erupted, especially the patterns on his chest, which flickered with an unstable light.

"His weakness is in his chest! That's the core injection point for extraterrestrial energy!"

The fusion entity shouted, mobilizing the energy of the Origin Crystal, which transformed into a purple spear of light that shot towards the chest of the dark gold armored warrior.

The dark gold-armored warrior's expression changed drastically, and he immediately used his tentacles to cover his chest.

However, the purple spear, containing the pure energy of the Origin Crystal, easily pierced through the tentacles and struck his chest.

The black patterns shattered instantly, and the dark gold armored warrior let out a painful roar as his body began to tremble violently.

The extraterrestrial energy within him clashed with his primordial power, gradually spiraling out of control.

"No! I can't fail like this!"

The dark gold-armored warrior's eyes were filled with madness as he suddenly detonated the energy within him, shouting, "Even if I die, I'll take you all down with me!"

The violent energy explosion shattered the entire abandoned planet into fragments. The merged entity immediately shielded everyone behind a light shield, enduring the relentless shockwaves.

When the explosion subsided, everyone emerged from the light shield in a disheveled state. The dark gold armored warrior had completely vanished, leaving only a fragment of the Chaos Origin Pearl floating in mid-air.

The fused entity carefully picked up the fragment and placed it together with the previous three fragments.

The four fragments immediately resonated, radiating intense chaotic energy, and began to slowly merge.

"Great! The fragments have begun to fuse!"

The consciousness of the origin of order breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we find the last fragment, the Chaos Origin Pearl can be completely restored."

The communicator suddenly regained signal, and Yan Jin's anxious voice came through: "Fusion body, something bad has happened! We've run into trouble in the western region; the last fragment of the Chaos Origin Pearl has been stolen!"

"Who stole the fragment?" the fused entity asked hastily.

"It's the Balanced Chaos Entity! He's not dead!"

Yan Jin's voice was filled with shock, "His remnant soul absorbed the chaotic energy, reformed his body, and is now even more powerful than before. He has also mastered some extraterrestrial energy!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically; they hadn't expected the Balanced Chaos Entity to still be alive.

The fusion entity immediately said, "You all retreat first, we'll rush over to provide support right away!"

The probe ship immediately flew towards the western part of the cosmic sea, and along the way, the merged entity was filled with doubts.

The remnant soul of the Balance Chaos Entity had clearly been defeated by them, so how could it suddenly revive and absorb extraterrestrial energy?
