Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 466
Chapter 466
Sun Wukong took the ancient book handed to him by Nezha and began to read it with a serious look.
His eyes moved quickly between the pages, and his fingertips gently brushed over the twisted runes, as if feeling the power contained in them.
The paper of the ancient book has turned yellow, and the edges are even a little damaged, but the lines of the runes are still clearly visible, revealing an ancient and evil aura.
"These runes... seem to be somehow connected to the rune stones we found before."
Sun Wukong muttered quietly, his brows furrowed slightly.
His fingers gently slid across the runes and he felt a faint vibration, as if these runes were not static symbols but some kind of living creatures that were secretly spying on him.
"These rune stones are the key components of Chen Tianjun's arrangement. They seem to be absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth and providing energy for some kind of forbidden formation."
Nezha stood aside, staring at the ancient book in Sun Wukong's hand, with a hint of anxiety in his expression.
"Wukong, what on earth are these rune stones? Their power is so strange."
Sun Wukong did not answer immediately, but continued to flip through the ancient books, his eyes becoming increasingly serious.
Suddenly, his finger stopped on a certain page and his eyes suddenly froze.
"what is this?"
Nezha leaned over, looked down at the page that Sun Wukong was pointing at, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Is this... a forbidden formation that controls the energy of heaven and earth?"
The runes on the pages were dense and complex, with lines twisted like snakes, which were exactly the same as the patterns on the rune stones they had discovered before.
Next to the runes, the operating principles of this formation are also recorded in detail.
"This formation can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, transform it into extreme power, and can even control the flow of vital energy in the three realms!"
Sun Wukong's voice was low and rapid, his eyes swept quickly across the pages of the book, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Chen Tianjun is actually studying this kind of forbidden technique. No wonder he has placed rune stones everywhere! His purpose is probably not just to overthrow the Heaven Court, but to completely control the Three Realms!"
When Nezha heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, the broken spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the flame on the tip of the spear jumped slightly.
"We must act immediately to stop his plot!"
Sun Wukong nodded, his eyes still fixed on the ancient book, his tone firm and powerful:"How's the situation with Yang Jian?"
"Second Brother Yang has led the Heavenly Soldiers to Black Wind Mountain and is currently fighting a fierce battle with the giant black shadow."
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, then gave the order:
"You must immediately lead the remaining heavenly soldiers and follow the markings on the map to completely remove the rune stones that Chen Tianjun has placed in other locations. You must not let his formation take shape!"
Nezha bowed and said:
"understand!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly. The broken gun in his hand drew a streak of fire in the air, illuminating the dim courtyard.
Sun Wukong watched Nezha leave, then put away the ancient book, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Chen Tianjun...what are you planning?"
He murmured in a low voice, and then his figure flashed, turning into a golden light and rushing towards the Black Wind Mountain.
On the top of Black Wind Mountain, the battle between Yang Jian and the giant black shadow has entered a fierce stage.
The black shadow's body was as huge as a mountain, his limbs were as skinny as dead wood, and his chest was covered with dense runes that flashed a strange red light.
Its eyes were burning with black flames as it stared at Yang Jian. Every time it swung its sharp claws, there was a whistling sound that tore through the air.
Yang Jian dodged the black shadow's attack flexibly, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was constantly waving. The sword light chopped down like lightning, and each blow was aimed directly at the black shadow's vital points.
"This guy's defense is so strong!"
Yang Jian was secretly shocked, and the blade of the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand chopped towards the black shadow's chest again, but was blocked by the strange rune power and could not penetrate even a little bit.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's figure fell from the sky like lightning, and his golden cudgel drew a dazzling arc in the air and hit the black shadow's head directly!
"boom!"
The golden cudgel smashed heavily on the black shadow's head, making a deafening bang.
The black shadow let out a shrill roar, and retreated repeatedly, with black gas gushing out from its wounds.
"Wukong, you're finally here!"
Yang Jian was cheered up upon seeing this, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light again, and stabbed fiercely towards the black shadow's chest!Sun Wukong and Yang Jian joined forces, and their attack poured down like a storm. The black shadow's defense was gradually torn apart, and his body began to disintegrate.
"Roar!"
The black shadow let out an unwilling roar, and the black energy surged wildly, trying to condense into a barrier, but Sun Wukong's golden cudgel and Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword had already hit its core at the same time.
"Pfft!"
The moment the blade pierced the chest, the black shadow let out a shrill roar, and the black air quickly dissipated like a flood bursting through a dam, and finally turned into nothingness completely.
After the battle, Yang Jian panted slightly, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead. He put away his three-pointed double-edged sword, his eyes were still cold, but there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
Sun Wukong stood aside, turning the golden cudgel in his hand, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"Yang Jian, this guy is very powerful. He is probably one of the generals under Chen Tianjun."
Yang Jian nodded:
"Yes, its defense and attack capabilities are extremely strong. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to defeat it."
Sun Wukong looked around and suddenly frowned.
"The atmosphere here... seems to be a little off."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately became alert, his three-pointed, double-edged sword trembled slightly, and he glanced around with a cold look.
"There is indeed a powerful aura surging, but the source cannot be determined."
Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly condensed, and then he said in a deep voice:"Not good! This breath comes from the depths of the underworld!"
Yang Jian's expression changed instantly:"Deep in the underworld? Could it be that Chen Tianjun has other arrangements?"
Sun Wukong nodded, with a hint of urgency in his eyes:"We must rush back to Heaven immediately to discuss countermeasures!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately took out a communication talisman and quickly sent a message to Nezha, informing him to return to heaven immediately.
Yang Jian didn't say much. He and Sun Wukong turned into two streams of light and rushed towards the heaven.
In the main hall of Heaven, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian hurried over. All the gods had already gathered, waiting for their arrival with serious expressions.
Sun Wukong strode into the main hall, twirled the golden cudgel in his hand, glanced at the gods, and spoke in a loud and urgent voice:
"Everyone, the situation is urgent. Chen Tianjun's conspiracy is far more than what we see. He has set up an altar deep in the underworld, intending to awaken some ancient existence through ancient runes and forbidden techniques, and may even be able to control the flow of vitality in the three realms!"
When the gods heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and frowned, and said in a deep voice:
"Ancient runes and forbidden techniques are all taboos in the Three Realms. If Chen Tianjun can really control the flow of vital energy, the order of the Three Realms will be in chaos!" Yang Jian stepped forward, his tone steady and firm:"Great Sage, I have found an altar deep in the underworld. The altar is covered with runes, and the aura of Chen Tianjun is still lingering inside. These runes are completely consistent with the ancient forbidden techniques recorded in ancient books. Chen Tianjun is very likely to have set up similar altars in multiple locations. We must act as soon as possible!"
Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:"Yang Jian is right. We can't just sit there and wait for death! Li Jing, lead some of the heavenly soldiers and generals to the altar closest to the Heavenly Palace and find out the situation there!"
Li Jing clasped his hands and replied, "As you command! I will set off immediately!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly left the main hall, leading the heavenly soldiers and generals straight to the target location.
Yang Jian looked at Nezha and said decisively:"Nezha, come with me to the place where the earth veins converge. Chen Tianjun is very likely to open a passage there, and we must stop him!"
Nezha held the broken spear tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit:"Understood! Don't even think about succeeding, old thief Chen Tianjun!"
Without saying much, the two of them immediately set off for the place where the earth veins converged.
Sun Wukong watched the two men leave, then turned to look at the gods with a sharp gaze:
"I will personally lead the elite troops to the remaining locations! All immortals, please be on high alert. This operation cannot afford to fail!"
The gods responded in unison:
"As ordered!"
Sun Wukong waved his sleeves, and his figure turned into a golden light. He led the elite heavenly soldiers straight to the last location marked on the map.
At the same time, Li Jing led the heavenly soldiers and generals to the altar closest to the heaven.
It was an abandoned ancient temple, shrouded in thick black fog. The door of the temple had long since decayed, and the air was filled with a decayed smell.
Li Jing raised his hand to signal the heavenly soldiers to stop, and looked around vigilantly:"Be careful, this place is extremely gloomy, and there may be evil spirits lurking around."
The heavenly soldiers nodded nervously, gripped their weapons tightly, and followed Li Jing slowly into the ancient temple.
The interior of the ancient temple was dimly lit, the walls were covered with cobwebs, and broken pottery jars and incense burners were scattered on the ground.
Li Jing's eyes swept quickly through the ancient temple, and suddenly noticed that the walls were engraved with strange runes. The rune lines were twisted and complex, emitting a faint black aura.
He frowned and whispered to himself:
"These runes... are completely consistent with the ancient runes recorded in ancient books. It seems that Chen Tianjun has indeed arranged something here."
He raised his hand to signal the heavenly soldiers to stop, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and quickly wrote down the runes on the wall with meticulous and focused movements.
A faint light appeared on the jade slip, and the runes were copied one by one, but the black gas was still flowing on the runes, as if they had life.
"General, these runes seem incomplete, as if they were deliberately destroyed."
A heavenly soldier pointed to a corner of the wall where the runes were abruptly cut and there were still traces of burnt marks on the edges.
Li Jing's eyes fixed, and he slowly walked closer to observe carefully. His fingertips gently brushed over the charred marks, and his brows knitted tightly:
"That's right. These runes were originally a complete formation. They lost their power after being forcibly destroyed. But... who has the ability to destroy the ancient runes?"
He thought for a moment, then gave the order:
"Search the ancient temple immediately to see if there are any other clues!"
The heavenly soldiers quickly dispersed and carefully searched every corner of the ancient temple.
A moment later, a celestial soldier came running over, holding a broken stone tablet in his hand:
"General, I found this!"
Li Jing took the stone tablet and looked at the words on it. His eyes suddenly fixed:"This is... the message left by Chen Tianjun!"
There are a few scribbled words engraved on the stone tablet:"The formation has been broken, but the time has not come yet."
Li Jing frowned even more tightly and whispered to himself:"The formation has been broken... the timing has not yet arrived... Could it be that Chen Tianjun's plan has not yet been completed? Or, has his plan been destroyed in advance?"
He put away the stone tablet, his eyes grim:
"Return to heaven immediately and report this to the Great Sage!"
At the same time, Yang Jian and Nezha led the heavenly soldiers and generals to the place where the earth veins converge.
It was a desolate valley, surrounded by rocky mountains, and the air was filled with strange energy fluctuations.
Yang Jian stood at the entrance of the valley, his three-pointed, double-edged sword trembling slightly, and a hint of cold light appeared on the blade.
He quickly scanned the valley and whispered:
"The atmosphere in this place is extremely chaotic, and it seems that a powerful energy is surging."
Nezha gripped the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and fighting spirit burned in his eyes:"That old thief Chen Tianjun, wouldn't he really open a passage here?"
Yang Jian did not respond immediately, but walked quickly into the depths of the valley.
His footsteps were light and steady, and the ground shook slightly with every step he took.
Deep in the valley, there was a huge stone platform engraved with complex runes. In the center of the runes was a dark vortex suspended, from which a low humming sound could be faintly heard.
"It is indeed so!" A cold light flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and his tone was heavy:
"Chen Tianjun is using the power of the earth veins to try to open an unknown passage!"
Nezha stepped forward quickly, the tip of his spear pointed directly at the rune vortex, and said urgently:
"We can't let him succeed! Destroy the rune immediately!"
Yang Jian nodded:
"Do it!"
The two of them swung their weapons at the same time and slashed towards the rune vortex!
The knife light and flames intertwined and instantly hit the rune vortex.
The vortex emitted a low hum, then began to vibrate violently.
However, the rune vortex was not completely destroyed. Instead, the black gas became thicker and the buzzing sound in the vortex became louder and louder.
Yang Jian frowned and whispered:"Not good! The runes are too deeply connected to the earth veins. We cannot completely destroy them with our own strength!"
Nezha's eyes flashed with anxiety, and the hand holding the broken spear exerted a little force, and the flames rose again:"Then what should we do? Are we going to just watch the passage open?"
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, then said decisively:"No, retreat immediately! Report this to the Great Sage. Only he has the ability to completely destroy this passage!"
Yang Jian and Nezha rushed to Sun Wukong and presented the map and books to him.
Yang Jian bowed slightly, his expression solemn:"Great Sage, we have found out Chen Tianjun's plan. He has arranged an ancient forbidden formation at the junction of the three realms of heaven, hell, and the mortal world. He intends to use the power of the earth veins to open a passage and completely disrupt the order of the three realms."
Sun Wukong took the map, his eyes quickly scanned the marked locations, and his brows gradually furrowed.
He tapped the table lightly, with a hint of coldness in his tone:"This old villain Chen Tianjun is indeed a man of deep thoughts. Since he dares to play such a big game, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Nezha took a step forward, the flame of the broken spear flickered slightly, and fighting spirit burned in his eyes:
"Great Sage, there is no time to lose. We must act immediately! We must not let him succeed."
