Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 911 Hidden Shadows (3)

"No wonder the black figure could possess the Origin Fragment and travel freely in the depths of the Dimensional Origin. It turns out that it has such a connection with the first Guardian."

The fusion entity said softly, its eyes filled with solemnity, "Moreover, I can sense that deep within the Shadow Altar, there are not only fragments of the origin, but also an aura of origin similar to that of the first guardian. Perhaps, the remnant soul of the first guardian is hidden there, or perhaps, the secrets he left behind are hidden there."

"Whatever it is, we have to go and see."

The Lord of the Stars said firmly, "Only by finding the fragments and uncovering the secrets of the First Guardian and the Black Figure can we find a way to fight the Black Figure and protect the Hyper-Multiverse."

The two nodded, and without further delay, they sped up and rushed towards the Shadow Altar.

Along the way, they encountered many more shadow creatures and shadow behemoths, but with their powerful strength and teamwork, the three of them quickly broke through the shadow creatures' obstacles and arrived near the shadow altar.

The Shadow Altar stands in the core area of ​​the Shadow Dimension, constructed entirely of black rock, towering into the clouds. The altar is covered with complex and eerie runes, which constantly flicker with black light, resonating with the surrounding shadow energy and exuding a strong, eerie aura.

The altar was surrounded by black tentacles, similar to those of the black figure, constantly stirring the surrounding shadow energy, guarding the altar and preventing anyone from getting close.

In the center of the altar, a black fragment of origin floated. The surface of the fragment was covered with a dense layer of shadow energy and an eerie aura. The golden light of origin was firmly suppressed, and it could only emit a faint light, echoing the two fragments in the hands of the Lord of the Stars.

"The fragments are right there!"

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Stars, but it was quickly replaced by solemnity. "However, the tentacles around the altar are very strange, and I can sense a powerful and eerie aura deep within the altar. I'm afraid the black figure is inside the altar."

The Guardian of the Dimensional Origin nodded, carefully examining the aura of the altar. His tone was solemn: "That's right, the eerie aura deep within the altar is exactly the same as the aura of the black figure. Moreover, this aura is even stronger than the one we felt deep within the Dimensional Origin before. Clearly, the black figure has been lurking here all along."

"The reason it abandoned the seal to destroy the power of the dark side is to return here and protect this primordial fragment, or perhaps, deep within the altar, it is plotting something sinister."

The fusion entity said softly, a resolute glint in its eyes: "No matter what its conspiracy is, we must obtain the fragment and uncover the truth. Now, let's work together, break through the tentacles' obstruction, rush into the altar, find the black figure, and seize the fragment."

"it is good!"

The Lord of the Stars and the Guardian of the Dimensional Origin nodded simultaneously. The three exchanged glances and immediately mobilized all their power to prepare for battle.

The Lord of the Stars gripped the two fragments of origin in his hand. The power of the Stars merged with the power of the fragments' origin, forming a two-colored light blade that slashed towards the tentacles surrounding the altar.

The guardian of the dimensional origin mobilized the power of the rules, transforming into a golden stream of light that rushed towards the tentacles, attempting to break through their obstruction.

The fused entity then mobilized its primal power to form a golden light shield, protecting the three figures. At the same time, it released a golden light thread towards the depths of the altar to probe the situation inside.

"Snap—"

The two-colored light blade struck the tentacle with a crisp sound, severing it. Black fluid gushed out, emitting a strong, eerie aura. But soon, new tentacles extended from the altar, continuing to guard it.

"These tentacles keep coming back; there's no way to cut them all off!"

The Lord of the Stars frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety, "Moreover, their regenerative ability is extremely strong. Our power is constantly being consumed. If this continues, we will not be able to break through the tentacles' obstruction at all."

The guardian of the dimensional origin also had a solemn expression. Although his power of rules could temporarily suppress the regeneration of the tentacles, it could not completely sever them. Moreover, the black figure deep within the altar was constantly releasing strange energy, strengthening the power of the tentacles.

"This can't go on; we must change our strategy."

The fused entity spoke softly, a glint of inspiration flashing in its eyes, “Lord of the Stars, use the power of the fragment’s origin to attract the tentacles’ attention. The Guardian of the Dimensional Origin and I will take the opportunity to rush into the altar, find the black figure, and seize the fragment.”

"it is good!"

The Lord of the Stars nodded, no longer hesitating, and immediately mobilized the primal power of the two fragments in his hand. Golden light surged and rushed towards the surrounding tentacles.

The primal power of the fragment has a strong restraining effect on the tentacles. Wherever the light passes, the tentacles retreat and cease their attacks. Instead, they surge toward the fragment, trying to devour its primal power.

"Now!"

With a loud shout, the fused entity exchanged a glance with the guardian of the dimensional origin, and simultaneously mobilized its power, transforming into two streams of light. Taking advantage of the moment when the tentacles retreated, it quickly rushed into the interior of the altar.

The Lord of the Stars continued to mobilize the primal power of the fragments to attract the tentacles' attention. At the same time, he was also on alert for the surrounding movements to prevent being ambushed by other shadow creatures. If the fusion and the guardian of the dimensional origin were in danger, he would rush in to provide support immediately.

Inside the altar, it was pitch black, even colder and more eerie than outside.

The air was filled with black mist, within which countless eerie runes flickered, constantly eroding the surrounding energy and causing the light shields around the fusion entity and the guardian of the dimensional origin to dim rapidly.

The two moved cautiously inside the altar, gathering power in their hands, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

The closer one gets to the core of the altar, the stronger the eerie aura becomes, and the presence of the black figure becomes increasingly clear.

Finally, they passed through the black mist and arrived at the core area of ​​the altar.

The scene before them left the two completely stunned.

At the core of the altar, there was a huge black array. The array was covered with runes similar to those on the black figure. The runes constantly flashed with black light, and countless dark energies and eerie auras surged out of the array and were absorbed by the black figure.

The black figure hovered in the center of the formation, surrounded by dense, eerie energy. Countless black tentacles extended from its body, connecting to the formation and constantly absorbing its power. At the same time, it held two fragments of origin in its hands. The golden light of the fragments was firmly suppressed by the eerie energy, and it was constantly absorbing the power of origin from them.
