I was able to cross The Corruption pretty early in the game by building a bridge over it. Start the bridge at the edge of the non-corrupted area, and build high enough to shield yourself from Eaters. If you can lay down blocks quickly enough (may take a little practice), you should be able to bridge all the way over the corruption and to the next non-corrupted area while keeping the Eaters confined.
