The Lord of Erosion Personally Conquers the Barrier, Myriad Laws Merge to Forge a Legend

On the seventh day after the corrosion-resistant defensive line forged by the myriad races had taken shape, the world barrier suddenly shook violently. On the stargazing platform of Myriad Arts Academy, the needle of the Origin Compass spun madly to the limit of purple, while the detector let out a piercing alarm—the army of Corrosion Space had finally arrived.

Chen Fan, Su Muxue, and Lin Xiaohu swiftly climbed the "Corrosion-Resisting Main Peak" of the world barrier. The sight before them was chilling: a massive purple rift had split open across the sky, countless Corrosion vines drilling out from within and coiling around the barrier's origin runes in an attempt to tear apart its defenses. Deep within the rift, a huge black shadow slowly emerged, surrounded by Corrosion origin power dozens of times stronger than that of the Corrosion Envoys. It was the ruler of Corrosion Space—the Corrosion Lord.

"Insignificant Mortal Realm... and yet you dare resist the corrosion of my race..." The Corrosion Lord's voice exploded like thunder. With a wave of his hand, countless purple Corrosion rays shot toward the barrier. Wherever they passed, cracks instantly spread through the corrosion-resistant defensive formations painstakingly constructed by the myriad races, while the earth-vein ores laid down by Stone Race cultivators were corroded into powder. "Today... I shall flatten this Mortal Realm... and let all origin... return to Corrosion!"

At the Corrosion Lord's command, innumerable Corrosion puppet armies poured out of the rift. These puppets were no longer merely solitary undead; they had fused the traits of various races beyond the domain. Some wore hard Corrosion carapaces, while others could spray Corrosion venom that ate away at everything. Their numbers far surpassed those of the puppets in Myriad Souls Cave, surging toward the barrier like a tidal wave.

"Everyone! Activate the Myriad Dharma Resonance Formation of the corrosion-resistant defensive line!" Chen Fan shouted, pouring the power of nine-meridian chaos into the barrier's origin runes. "Spirit Clan, control the world barrier's origin! Stone Race, reinforce the defensive formations! Demon Race and human disciples, form battle echelons—use Soul Suppressing Power combined with fusion power to hold back the puppet army!"

Su Muxue immediately led the Spirit Clan cultivators in embedding origin crystals into the core of the barrier, guiding the world origin to resonate with the corrosion-resistant defensive line. A pale golden origin radiance enveloped the entire barrier, temporarily holding off the Corrosion rays. Braving the risk of being corroded, Stone Race craftsmen filled the cracks in the defensive formations with newly refined corrosion-resistant ores, chanting earth-vein runes to strengthen the formations' stability. Holding the Soul Suppressing Seal, Lin Xiaohu transformed Soul Suppressing Power into countless threads of pale purple light and sent them into the bodies of every combat cultivator, helping them withstand the erosion of Corrosion origin power.

Xiong Lie of the Demon Race was the first to lead his clan's cultivators forward. He fused demonic power, vitality, and Soul Suppressing Power into the Threefold Fusion Corrosion-Resisting Claw. With one swipe, he tore apart several Corrosion puppets, pale purple corrosion-resistant light flashing at his claw tips to prevent the puppets' Corrosion origin power from backlashing. Li Qing of the human race led the Fusion Academy disciples in unleashing the Vitality-Spirit Qi Soul-Suppressing Cannon. The three-colored fusion energy cannons blasted into the puppet army, instantly clearing an entire area.

But the Corrosion puppet army was simply too numerous, and bolstered by the Corrosion Lord, their regeneration speed far exceeded anything from before. No sooner had one batch been cleared than fresh puppets poured out of the rift. The light of the corrosion-resistant defensive line gradually dimmed. Many cultivators were wounded by the puppets' Corrosion claws; their origins began to be contaminated, and their consciousness grew hazy.

"This can't go on! We have to stop the Corrosion Lord, or the puppet army will keep pouring out without end!" A flash of resolve crossed Chen Fan's eyes. He drove the power of nine-meridian chaos to its limit, simultaneously drawing upon the fusion power of the myriad-race cultivators to form a dazzling Myriad Dharma Corrosion-Resisting Light Armor around himself. "Miss Su, Xiaohu, I'm leaving the defensive line to you! I'll deal with the Corrosion Lord!"

"Brother Fan, it's too dangerous! The Corrosion Lord's power far exceeds anything we imagined!" Lin Xiaohu hurriedly tried to stop him. The Soul Suppressing Seal in his hand erupted with light once more, stabilizing the defensive line even as it tried to empower Chen Fan.

Yet Su Muxue shook her head, her eyes filled with trust. "Chen Fan, you are the core of Myriad Dharma fusion. Only you can comprehend the ultimate power of Myriad Dharma Fusion Against Corrosion. Remember, the key to resisting corrosion is not merely the Soul Suppressing origin—it is the emotional resonance born of the myriad races standing as one. Every one of us will become your strength!"

Chen Fan nodded and leaped out of the corrosion-resistant defensive line, flying toward the Corrosion Lord. Seeing this, the Corrosion Lord's eyes flashed with disdain. He raised a hand, and a massive Corrosion battle-axe cleaved down toward Chen Fan. Carrying terrifying corrosive power, the axe tore a purple trail through space itself, as though it would swallow Chen Fan whole.

Chen Fan did not dare let his guard down. The power of nine-meridian chaos intertwined with the fusion power of the myriad races, condensing into a Myriad Dharma Corrosion-Resisting Axe. Its blade carried not only Soul Suppressing Power, but also the Spirit Clan's control of origin, the Stone Race's earth-vein defense, the Demon Race's explosive demonic power, and the human race's nimble vitality. Five-colored radiance collided with the purple giant axe, unleashing an earth-shaking boom.

"Puh!" The immense impact sent Chen Fan staggering backward again and again, blood spraying from his mouth. The glow of the Myriad Dharma Corrosion-Resisting Axe dimmed as well. The Corrosion Lord's strength far exceeded his expectations. Even after fusing the power of the myriad races, he could only barely withstand it.
