Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 845 Ancient Seal (1)

In the universe after the Void Overlord vanished, the remaining Void energy flowed slowly like black mist, gradually dissolving under the purifying power of the Allied Fleet. The figure of the Supreme Overlord hovered above the origin of the Void, his brow furrowed as he continuously probed the strange and unfamiliar aura with the power of ultimate laws surrounding him.

"This aura does not originate from the multiverse, nor does it belong to the outer void." The Supreme Ruler's voice was more solemn than ever before. "It is more like a 'cross-dimensional erosion force,' capable of traversing between different cosmic dimensions and subtly altering the essence of the rules."

The fused entity mobilized the power of ancient rules within its body, sensing the direction of that aura: "It's spreading towards the origin of the super-dimensional world! It's heading in the same direction as the remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord!"

The Lord of the Stars' expression changed: "If the two were to join forces, the consequences would be unimaginable! The Origin Land holds the core secrets of the super-multiverse; we must not allow them to lay a finger on it!"

The Supreme Ruler made a decision: "Lord of the Stars, you will lead the Coexistence Faction fleet to remain at the Origin of the Void and purify the remaining Void energy; Hegemon Faction, you are responsible for reinforcing the spatial barriers of the Hyper-Multiverse; Fusion, you will take your companions to the Land of Origin to stop the Lord of Dimensions and uncover the truth behind that strange aura!"

Although the leader of the hegemonic faction was unwilling, he could only nod in agreement under the pressure of the supreme ruler. The four fused beings immediately set off, once again passing through the origin runes of the Origin Realm to enter the passage leading to the Origin Land of the Super-Dimensional.

The ancient aura of rules within the passage was even stronger than before, and the runes along the way flickered with an eerie red light, as if warning of some kind of danger. Canglan's spacetime perception suddenly triggered: "There are strong energy fluctuations ahead, the aura of a Dimensional Lord, and... another, even more ancient power!"

The four sped up and rushed out of the passage. The sight before them made their pupils shrink: in the chaotic space of the Origin Land, the remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord was confronting a figure dressed in ancient black armor. The figure was surrounded by cross-dimensional power of the same origin as the unfamiliar aura and held a longsword engraved with corrosive runes.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my access to the power of origin?" The remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord roared, black light swirling around him. After absorbing some of the void energy, his form became much more solid than before.

The figure in black armor sneered, his voice sounding as if it came from an ancient wasteland: "Does the remnant soul of a Dimensional Lord even deserve to lay a finger on the Origin Land? I am the 'Cross-Dimensional Guardian,' ordered to guard this place and prevent any being that covets the secrets of the Origin."

The four merged beings took the opportunity to conceal themselves within the chaotic energy, observing the situation. Yan Jin whispered, "Could the interdimensional guardian he mentioned be related to the entity behind the Void Ruler?"

The Creator shook his head: "It's hard to say, but his power restrains the Dimensional Lord, so we might be able to seize the opportunity."

In the center of the battlefield, the Dimensional Lord suddenly unleashed the power of the fusion of void and dimension, the black light stream transforming into a giant claw that reached for the Interdimensional Guardian. The Interdimensional Guardian swung his longsword, the power of the interdimensional realm forming a black blade of light. The claw collided with the blade of light, unleashing an energy storm that shook the chaotic space.

"With such meager power, you dare to act so arrogantly in the Land of Origin?" The interdimensional guardian scoffed, waving his longsword as countless corrosive runes flew towards the Dimensional Lord. The runes landed on the remnant soul, and the black light began to rapidly dissolve, causing the Dimensional Lord to let out a painful howl.

"We can't let him be completely destroyed!" the fusion suddenly spoke. "We need to get the truth about the strange aura from the Lord of Dimensions!" She mobilized the power of ancient rules to form a golden light shield, which stood in front of the Lord of Dimensions and blocked the corrosive runes.

Upon seeing this, the interdimensional guardian's face darkened: "A guardian of the multiverse? How dare you interfere in my affairs!" His longsword pointed directly at the fused entity. "The secrets of the Origin Land are not for you to touch. Retreat immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"We simply want to find out the truth." The fused entity stepped forward, the power of ancient rules flowing around it. "That unfamiliar aura is of the same origin as the Interdimensional Alliance, and the Interdimensional Alliance once invaded the multiverse. We have the right to know the truth!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Interdimensional Guardian, then he sneered, "So you've seen the Interdimensional Alliance before? Very well, let you die knowing why. The Interdimensional Alliance is the vanguard of the 'Interdimensional Erosion Legion,' and I am the Legion's vanguard guardian. The Void Overlord is merely a pawn cultivated by the Legion to test the defensive capabilities of various universes."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked. They never expected that there was such a powerful force behind the Interdimensional Alliance and the Void Overlord.

Taking advantage of the moment, the remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord regained its power, and the black light stream reformed: "So that's how it is! No wonder the void energy is so strange. If I can join the Interdimensional Erosion Legion, I will definitely be able to avenge myself!"

"You are not qualified." The interdimensional guardian sneered, and swung his longsword again. "Today, I will leave you all in the Land of Origin!" The power of the interdimensional realm formed a huge energy vortex, which rushed towards the crowd.

"Joint defense!" the fusion entity shouted, as the power of ancient rules, the power of the stars, the power of life, the power of spacetime, and the power of creation intertwined to form a five-colored defensive barrier. The energy vortex struck the barrier, causing it to tremble violently, yet it remained intact.

"I didn't expect your powers to be able to merge to this extent." A trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the interdimensional guardian. "But this is not enough!" He mobilized all the interdimensional power in his body, and his longsword burst out with black light, slashing towards the barrier.

"Flame, nourish the barrier with the power of life! Azure Waves, freeze the flow of energy! Creator, repair the barrier with the power of creation!" the fused entity shouted, mobilizing the power of ancient rules to completely fuse the five forces, making the barrier's light even more dazzling.

The longsword struck the barrier, producing a piercing metallic clang. The cross-dimensional guardian's arm trembled slightly from the recoil; he hadn't expected his full-force attack to fail to breach the barrier.

Seeing this, the remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind, a stream of black light striking the back of the Interdimensional Guardian: "If I can't have it, you can't have it either!" His voice was filled with insane jealousy.

Caught off guard, the interdimensional guardian was struck by the beam of light, a massive wound appearing on his body as his interdimensional power rapidly dissipated. "Despicable scoundrel!" he roared, turning to slash at the Dimensional Lord. The longsword pierced the core of the remnant soul, and the Dimensional Lord let out a piercing wail before vanishing completely into the chaotic space.

Having defeated the Dimensional Lord, the Interdimensional Guardian's aura weakened. The fused entity seized the opportunity, channeling the power of ancient rules to form golden chains that bound his limbs: "Speak! What is the purpose of the Interdimensional Invasion Legion? Why do you invade various universes?"

The interdimensional guardian sneered, a resolute glint in its eyes: "The Legion's goal is to devour the origins of all universes to strengthen itself. You insignificant guardians are utterly incapable of stopping us. Soon, the Legion's main force will arrive, and the hyper-multiverse will ultimately be destroyed!"

He suddenly detonated the remaining interdimensional power within him, attempting to perish together with everyone else. The fused entity immediately mobilized the power of ancient rules to purify the explosive energy: "We can't let him self-destruct; we need more clues!"

Purified by the power of ancient rules, the energy of the explosion was gradually brought under control, and the cross-dimensional guardian's body dissolved in the energy, leaving only a black crystal containing his core memories.

The fused entity picked up the crystal, mobilized the power of ancient rules, and read the memories within. The crystal stored some information about the Interdimensional Invasion Legion: the legion came from the "Transdimensional," where creatures feed by devouring the origins of other universes and have already destroyed hundreds of hyper-multiverses. The Interdimensional Alliance and the Void Overlord were pawns they cultivated to weaken the defenses of target universes.
