Crystal Spirit Appears to Aid Fusion, Multiple Origins Break the General Offensive

On the third day after the exploration team returned to the Mortal Realm with the Crystal Meteor Core, the Multiversal Alliance launched the "Crystal Meteor Anti-Corrosion System Integration Ceremony." At Origin Rift Plaza, Western Clan cultivators took their positions according to the formation of "Mortal Realm at the center, Spirit Charm guarding the south, Earthcore holding the north, Thunder Evolution protecting the west." Chen Fan stood at the center of the formation with the Crystal Meteor Core in hand, while Su Muxue, Lin Xiaohu, and Ling Xi stood to either side. The Thunder Evolution Clan chief and the Earthcore Clan chief presided over the circulation of the formation from its edges.

Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the Crystal Meteor Core at the center of the plaza suddenly erupted with resplendent multicolored light. Within it, a translucent figure gradually emerged—she wore a long gown woven of crystal meteors, her hair flowed like seven-colored crystal shards, and pure Crystal Meteor origin swirled around her. She was Crystal Spirit, guardian of the Crystal Meteor Space.

"I am the origin guardian of the Crystal Meteor Space. I have slept for a thousand years, waiting only for the fated one capable of controlling the Crystal Meteor Core." Crystal Spirit's voice was as crisp as clashing ice crystals. Her gaze fell upon Chen Fan. "You can fuse the Western Clan origin and purify the corrosion origin of the Crystal Corrosion King. You are the one I have been seeking. If this core is to fully merge into the Alliance's system, it must be guided by the 'Heart of Multiversal Origin.' And you already possess the potential to break through into the 'Multiversal Origin Realm.'"

Delight flashed through Chen Fan's eyes. He could clearly feel the Crystal Meteor origin surrounding Crystal Spirit resonating intensely with his power of myriad dharmas. "Senior Crystal Spirit, how can I break through to the Multiversal Origin Realm?"

"Under the utmost pressure of the corrosion origin, you must completely fuse the Western Clan origin with the Crystal Meteor origin and awaken the Heart of Multiversal Origin within you." Crystal Spirit raised a hand, and a ribbon of crystal meteor light wound around Chen Fan's wrist. "I will help you stabilize your origin, but the final breakthrough will still depend on yourself."

Before her words had faded, the sky was suddenly shrouded in black—the all-out assault of the Corrosion Space had erupted at this very moment! Countless black spatial rifts appeared simultaneously across the Alliance's various spaces, and an ocean of corrosion puppets surged forth like a tidal wave. The ultimate ruler of the Corrosion Space, the Lord of Corrosion, transformed into a colossal black phantom and hovered above the world barrier of the Mortal Realm. Nine black "Corrosion Origin Pillars" encircled him, every one containing terrifying power enough to devour an entire space.

"The Multiversal Alliance? Nothing but a pack of ants!" The Lord of Corrosion's voice exploded like thunder. The nine Corrosion Origin Pillars simultaneously fired black beams toward Origin Rift Plaza. "Today, I shall devour the origins of every space and become the universe's sole Will of Corrosion!"

"Everyone, activate the defensive formation! Senior Crystal Spirit, help me break through!" Chen Fan shouted, channeling both the Western Clan origin and the Crystal Meteor origin into his body at once. Crystal Spirit immediately released her Crystal Meteor origin, forming a Seven-Colored Crystal Meteor Shield around him to withstand the impact of the corrosion rays.

Leading the Spirit Clan cultivators, Su Muxue poured the Spirit Charm origin into the formation core, joining it with the origins of the Earthcore and Thunder Evolution Clans to form a "Tri-Origin Defensive Shield." They barely blocked the first corrosion ray. But the Lord of Corrosion's power was far too terrifying. When the second ray struck, cracks instantly spread across the shield. The Thunder Evolution Clan chief spat out blood, while more than half of the Earthcore Clan chief's stone armor shattered.

"Chen Fan, hurry! We can't hold on much longer!" Su Muxue's voice was taut with urgency. The Spirit Charm Crystal in her palm shook violently, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Chen Fan clenched his teeth and frantically compressed the origins of the five clans within his body. The Western Clan origin and Crystal Meteor origin collided violently within his dantian, like five burning flames scorching his meridians. The Lord of Corrosion seemed to sense that he was breaking through, and the third corrosion ray blasted precisely toward him—this ray contained the Lord of Corrosion's own origin power, enough to instantly devour an ordinary Multiversal Origin Realm cultivator.

"I'll block it!" Crystal Spirit suddenly stepped in front of Chen Fan and released all of her Crystal Meteor origin, transforming it into a massive Crystal Meteor Barrier. The ray slammed into the barrier. Crystal Spirit's figure shook violently, cracks spreading across her translucent body, yet she still gritted her teeth and endured. "Break through, quickly! The future of the Crystal Meteor Space is in your hands!"

Resolution flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. He no longer suppressed the origins within his body, allowing the five clans' origins to explode inside his dantian—at the instant of the explosion, his consciousness connected with the origins of the multiversal spaces. The chaos of the Mortal Realm, the gentleness of Spirit Charm, the solidity of Earthcore, the fury of Thunder Evolution, the purity of Crystal Meteor—the origins of the five clans intertwined within him like five dragons, forming a "Heart of Multiversal Origin."

"Multiversal Origin Realm—achieved!"

Seven-colored radiance erupted around Chen Fan, containing the powers of the five clans' origins and forming an immense Multiversal Origin Domain. Within the domain, the corrosion origin was instantly purified, spatial rifts began to heal, and the corrosion puppets' movements slowed. With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Dharma Corrosion-Resisting Axe became a streak of seven-colored light, gathering in the air into a gigantic formation—the Seven-Colored Crystal Meteor Myriad Dharma Array.

Within the formation, countless seven-colored crystal meteor blades fell like a meteor shower. Every blade contained the power of the five clans' origins, striking the Corrosion Origin Pillars with sizzling corrosive sounds. Under the crystal blades' bombardment, an enormous crack opened in the first Origin Pillar. The Lord of Corrosion let out a furious roar and fired another nine corrosion rays, attempting to destroy the formation.
