Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 810 Core Secrets (1)

The spatial vortex collapsed completely, revealing the figure of the ancient dimensional lord. He hovered in the center of the cosmic sea, dark gold patterns flowing across his black armor. The black energy surrounding him distorted the surrounding spacetime, and the stars dimmed under the pressure of his aura.

He raised his hand and waved it, sending countless black energy blades hurtling towards the combined fleet and the supporting dimensional creatures at a speed that was too fast for them to react to.

"All units, defend!" the fusion entity shouted, raising the complete rune fragment in its hand high above its head.

The golden rune phantoms unfolded, forming a massive energy barrier that blocked the black energy blade.

The moment the blade struck the barrier, it unleashed a powerful corrosive force, instantly leaving black marks on the golden barrier.

"This energy... can actually corrode the power of runes?"

The fused entity was shocked. She could clearly feel the energy of the rune fragments being devoured by the black energy, and the cracks that had appeared earlier were also expanding.

The ancient dimensional lord chuckled, his tone full of disdain: "A mere fragment of runes dares to try and block my power? I was able to shatter it back then, and I can destroy it just as easily now!"

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the energy barrier, his black fist carrying the power to destroy everything, and slammed towards the barrier.

"Stop him!" Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others attacked simultaneously, unleashing life-giving vines, time-freezing spells, and elemental beams towards the ancient dimensional lord.

However, these attacks were instantly swallowed up as soon as they approached the black energy around him, having no effect whatsoever.

"Bang!" The black fist struck the energy barrier, shattering it instantly, and the golden rune phantoms dimmed.

The fused entity was blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood, and almost dropped the rune fragments in its hand.

"Master Fusion!"

The crowd gasped and tried to rush forward to help, but they were firmly trapped by the energy pressure released by the ancient dimensional lord and could not move.

The ancient dimensional lord walked step by step toward the fused entity, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes: "The rune fragments are a waste in your hands. Why not give them to me, so that I can regain control of the dimension and establish a new order."

The fused entity gripped the rune fragments tightly, struggling to its feet: "Your so-called new order is nothing but destruction and domination! We will never let you succeed!"

"Stubborn fool!" The ancient dimensional lord snorted coldly and waved his hand to grab the fused entity.

Just as his finger was about to touch the rune fragment, the fragment suddenly burst out with a strong golden light, and the phantom of the Dimensional Guardian appeared in the light.

"Ancient Lord, your end has come!"

The phantom of the Dimensional Guardian shouted, his body transforming into countless golden runes that merged into the fragments in the fused entity's hand.

The cracks on the fragments began to repair rapidly, and the golden light became even more dazzling than before, even faintly suppressing the black energy of the ancient dimensional lord.

"It's the Guardian's consciousness!" The fused entity was overjoyed. She could clearly feel a warm and powerful force emanating from the rune fragments. This force resonated with her original energy, allowing her injuries to heal rapidly.

The ancient dimensional lord's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with apprehension: "You actually integrated your consciousness into the runes! You're insane!"

He immediately retreated, trying to get away from the rune fragments, but found that his body was firmly locked by a golden power and he could not move.

"Now, it's time to reveal your secret!"

The voice of the Dimensional Guardian came from the runes, “Your core is not within your body at all, but hidden in the ‘Reflection of Rules’! That is a mirror dimension you created with your own dark side, and it is also the source of your power! Once the Reflection of Rules is destroyed, your power will completely dissipate!”

How did you know this secret?!

The ancient dimensional lord was shocked, and fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.

He kept this secret for billions of years and never told anyone.

"Because when I sealed you away back then, I sensed that your power was abnormal."

The Dimensional Guardian said, "For years, I have been studying your power, and I have finally found your core. Fusion, quick! Use the rune fragments to open a portal to the Land of Reflected Rules and destroy its core!"

Without hesitation, the fused entity immediately mobilized the energy of the rune fragments, and golden light formed a huge spatial channel in the air. At the other end of the channel was a distorted black space, which was the place of the reflection of rules, radiating black energy of the same origin as the ancient dimensional lord.

"You want to destroy my core? Not so easy!" The ancient dimensional lord roared, forcibly breaking free from the golden power's restraints and rushing towards the spatial passage, intending to close it.

"Stop him!" the fused entity shouted, and Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others immediately rushed forward to engage in a fierce battle with the ancient dimensional lord.

Although their power was far inferior to that of the ancient dimensional lords, they all exerted their utmost efforts to buy time for the fusion.

The Lord of the Shadow Dimension mobilized all the shadow energy in his body, transforming it into a massive shadow cage that trapped the ancient Lord of the Shadow Dimension's legs.

The Lord of Ice and Snow and the Lord of Mechanical Dimensions joined forces to unleash the fusion energy of ice and snow and machinery, which hurtled towards the head of the Ancient Lord of Dimensions.

"How dare you, ants, be so presumptuous!" the ancient dimensional lord roared, unleashing a burst of black energy that shattered the shadow cage and blocked the fusion energy of the ice and snow machinery.

But in this brief delay, the fused entity had already rushed into the spatial passage with the rune fragments and was flying towards the Land of Reflected Rules.

The interior of the Land of Reflected Rules was pitch black, with distorted space and countless black mirror images wandering within. These figures were all avatars of the ancient dimensional master's power, possessing formidable combat strength.

As soon as the fusion body entered, it was surrounded by countless mirror images.

"Get in the way!" The fusion entity snorted coldly, and a five-colored light sword condensed in its hand. The energy of the rune fragments was injected into the light sword, and the golden light and five-colored energy intertwined to form a powerful sword aura that swept towards the mirror image.

The mirrored figures shattered under the attack of the sword energy, turning into black energy and dissipating.

She flew toward the center of the Land of Reflected Rules, where a huge black crystal floated, with black flames dancing inside—the very core of the ancient dimensional lord.

Countless black runes surrounded the black crystal, radiating a powerful defensive force.

"That's it!" A determined glint flashed in the eyes of the fused entity, and it immediately rushed toward the black crystal.

The figure of the ancient dimensional lord suddenly appeared behind her, and his black fist slammed towards her back.

"Be careful, fusion entity!" came the voice of the dimensional guardian. Rune fragments automatically blocked behind the fusion entity, and golden light formed a shield.

The black fist struck the shield with a loud bang, shattering it and sending rune fragments flying.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fused entity turned around and slashed at the ancient dimensional lord with all its might with its five-colored light sword.

The lightsaber struck his black armor, leaving a shallow mark but causing no real damage.

"Your strength is too weak!"

The ancient dimensional lord sneered, reaching out to grab the fused being's wrist, and black energy began to erode into her body.

"Since you're so eager to destroy my core, then I'll make you my puppet first!"

As black energy entered the fused body, her consciousness began to blur, and her body was gradually covered by black patterns.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, the rune fragment in her hand suddenly burst forth with a warm golden light, and within the light came the voice of the Dimensional Guardian:

"Fused entity, believe in yourself! Rune fragments can not only control the rules, but also nourish dimensional beings! Fuse your consciousness with the runes and draw upon the power of all dimensional beings!"

The fused entity had a sudden thought and immediately gave up resisting, sinking its consciousness into the rune fragments.

The golden light from the rune fragments burst forth instantly, merging with her consciousness.

She could clearly sense the beliefs of all dimensional beings in the cosmic sea, and these beliefs transformed into a powerful force that continuously flowed into her body through the rune fragments.

"This is..." The ancient dimensional lord stared in shock at the fused entity. He could feel the fused entity's power growing at an alarming rate, even surpassing his own power back then.

The fused entity slowly opened its eyes, which shimmered with golden runes. Its body was surrounded by energy interwoven with five colors and gold, exuding an aura of coexistence with dimensions.

She gently broke free from the ancient dimensional lord's hand, and the five-colored lightsaber condensed once more. This time, the lightsaber contained not only primordial energy and runic power, but also the power of belief from countless dimensional beings.

"Lord of the Ancient Dimensions, your reign has ended!"

The fused entity roared, slashing its lightsaber towards the black crystal. The ancient dimensional lord tried to stop it, but was firmly bound by an invisible force—the power of belief of all dimensional beings—which he could not resist.
