Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 806 Fragment Resonance (1)

The pull of the rune fragments grew stronger and stronger. The three fragments in the fused body confronted the one controlled by the Lord of the Outer Realm from a distance. Golden light and black energy intertwined, forming a distorted energy turbulence in the cosmic sea.

The Lord of the Outer Realms' face flushed red, and the energy of the Outer Realms within his body surged wildly, barely managing to suppress the strange movements of the fragment in his hand. Meanwhile, the eyes of the several rebellious Dimension Lords beside him showed obvious signs of wavering.

"Useless! What are you all standing there for!"

The Lord of the Outer Realms roared, "Hurry up and help suppress the fragments! Once the army of decay arrives, we can divide up the dimensions. Do you want to fail at the last minute?"

The Lord of the Shadow Dimension hesitated before stepping forward. The moment the shadow energy surging around him touched the black aura of the fragment, it was repelled by a golden force. He staggered back a few steps, his face filled with horror: "The power of this fragment is too strange. It is repelling all non-original energy!"

Just then, the black clouds at the end of the cosmic sea were almost in sight, and the aura of the corrupt ruler descended like a mountain pressing down.

It was a figure clad in black armor, hovering atop the clouds, surrounded by a decaying mist that could devour light. A single glance from him sent chills down the spines of the members of the combined fleet.

"Lord of the Outer Territories, your efficiency is quite good."

The voice of the Decaying Ruler carried a harsh, metallic quality, "However, you seem to be in a bit of trouble?"

The Lord of the Outer Realms cursed inwardly, but had to feign composure: "They're nothing but clowns. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I'll deal with them and present the rune fragments with both hands."

"No need." The Decaying Overlord sneered, waving his hand to release countless black chains that flew towards the rune fragments on the Ark of Life.

"I'll take the fragments myself. As for you useless pawns, it's time for you to make your final contribution."

The black chains pierced the deck of the Ark of Life, heading straight for the fragments in the hands of the Lord of the Outer Realms.

The Lord of the Outer Realms' expression changed drastically. He finally realized that he was nothing more than a discarded pawn of the corrupt ruler. Anger and fear intertwined within him: "You dare to play me!"

"So what if I play you?" the Decaying Overlord scoffed. "The extraterrestrial races are byproducts of decaying energy. Do you think you're worthy to be my equal?"

These words struck like a thunderclap in the ears of the several rebellious dimensional lords.

The Lord of the Ice and Snow Dimension abruptly took a step back, staring incredulously at the Lord of the Outer Dimension: "Is what he said true? Your Outer Dimension races are actually related to the Decaying Dimension?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" the Lord of the Outer Domain hurriedly defended, but the fragment in his hand suddenly burst out with a strong suction force, and actually flew towards the fragment in the fused body's hand.

In his desperation, he tried to forcefully stop him, but was instead attacked by the fragments, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

"The opportunity has come!"

A glint flashed in the eyes of the fused entity, which manipulated the three fragments to release a golden bridge of light that extended toward the out-of-control fourth fragment.

Yan Jin and Cang Lan immediately understood. The vines of vitality intertwined with the energy of spacetime to form a net, protecting both sides of the light bridge and preventing interference from the decaying energy.

Just as the fourth fragment was about to touch the light bridge, the Lord of the Shadow Dimension suddenly intervened, his shadow energy transforming into a giant hand that grabbed the fragment: "We can't let them get it! Even if it's destroyed, we can't let the Decaying Dimension benefit from it!"

His actions instantly threw the situation into chaos.

The Lord of the Ice and Snow Dimension and the Lord of the Mechanical Dimension exchanged a glance, then simultaneously moved closer to the Lord of the Shadow Dimension, their ice and snow energy and mechanical beams forming a pincer attack: "Shadow, you're insane! Only by gathering all the fragments can we have a chance to fight against the Lord of Decay!"

"Confront them?" The Lord of the Shadow Dimension laughed bitterly. "We've already become traitors. Even if we help them gather the fragments, what good will it do us? We might as well fight to the death!"

The three dimensional lords clashed on the Ark of Life, their fragments bouncing and flashing with golden light amidst the energy impact.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fusion entity led everyone forward, its multicolored lightsaber cleaving through the battlefield: "Stop! This is not the time for infighting!"

The Lord of the Outer Realms surveyed the chaos before him, then glanced at the approaching Corrupted Overlord, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He suddenly channeled all the remaining energy within him, blasting it towards the fourth fragment: "If I can't have it, no one else can!"

"No!" The fused entity exclaimed in alarm, immediately placing the three fragments in front of it.

The moment the golden fragments collided with the extraterrestrial energy, a shockwave far exceeding expectations erupted, causing the entire Ark of Life to shake violently and its deck to shatter into countless pieces.

The fourth fragment cracked open during the impact, and what surged out was no longer black, decaying energy, but pure, golden primordial power.

"This is..." Everyone was stunned. From the cracks in the fragments, golden light continuously repaired the damaged areas, and the previously attached decaying energy melted away rapidly like ice and snow meeting fire.

It turns out that the fourth fragment was not completely corrupted; its surface was merely covered by decaying energy, and the impact just now actually helped it break free from its constraints.

"The fragments are purifying themselves!"

The voice of the Dimensional Guardian suddenly rang out, and his figure sped from the center of the cosmic sea, his body shimmering with golden runes.

"Quickly fuse the four fragments! Only the combined power of the runes can withstand the first wave of attacks from the Decaying Overlord!"

As the fragments gradually regained their purity, the Lord of the Shadow Dimension's madness faded, replaced by remorse: "I...I was wrong." He pushed the fragments towards the fusion body, "Quick, gather it all together!"

Without hesitation, the fused entity immediately brought the four fragments together.

A golden light shot into the sky, and the four fragments spun and merged in the air, forming a semi-complete dimensional origin rune phantom. The rune was surrounded by an energy halo that controlled spacetime, life, and elements, radiating a power that could shake dimensions.

“Interesting.” The Decaying Overlord stopped, a cruel smile playing on his lips. “However, a half-complete rune is not enough!” He waved his hand, conjuring a giant black axe, its blade wreathed in decaying energy capable of corroding the rules, and slashed toward the rune phantom.

"Join forces to resist!" the fusion entity shouted, and the dimensional guardians immediately stepped forward, joining the fusion entity in injecting energy.

The illusory runes transformed into a massive golden shield, blocking the attack from the black giant axe.

The moment the two forces collided, the cosmic sea seemed to be torn apart, countless stars were annihilated in the shockwave, and spatial rifts spread like a spider web.

"Pfft!" The fusion entity and the dimensional guardian simultaneously spat out a mouthful of energy debris, and a tiny crack appeared on the golden shield.

The power of the corrupt ruler far exceeded their imagination; a single blow was enough to overwhelm them.

"It seems you won't last much longer either," the Decaying Overlord sneered, swinging his giant axe once more.

A strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the bottom of the Ark of Life, and a green beam of light broke through the deck and struck the back of the Corruption Overlord.

"Who?" The Decaying Overlord turned around in pain and saw the figures of three primordial consciousnesses slowly rising from the bottom of the Ark of Life. They were surrounded by the energy of the primordial core of the cosmic sea. Although their faces were pale, their eyes were firm.

“We’ve been waiting for this opportunity.”

The consciousness of the origin of life spoke, "You think you can completely erode the protective array of the Ark of Life with your decaying energy? That was just us deliberately showing weakness to buy time for the fusion body."

The three primordial consciousness entities acted simultaneously, and the energy of the primordial core transformed into three colored beams of light, which were injected into the rune phantom.

The half-complete rune instantly became even more dazzling, the phantom solidified a bit, and the surrounding dimensional energy became even more concentrated.

"Damn ants!" The Decaying Overlord was furious. He swung his black giant axe with all his might, but it was blocked by the runic phantom.

This time, the golden shield not only did not crack, but instead rebounded a burst of golden energy that struck the armor of the Decaying Overlord.

The armor was instantly corroded, creating a small hole that revealed the writhing black mist inside.

"The energy of the primordial core..."

A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Decaying Overlord. "It seems we can't finish this quickly today."

He waved to the decaying army behind him, "Charge! Destroy the runic phantom at all costs!"

Countless decaying warships charged toward the combined fleet and the Ark of Life, unleashing a torrent of black energy cannons.

The combined fleet immediately launched a counterattack, with magical energy, elemental beams, spacetime barriers, and decaying energy cannons colliding, turning the entire cosmic sea into a chaotic battlefield.
