Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 468
Chapter 468
Nezha hurried to the core of the earth veins, and the storage bag in his hand trembled slightly, as if the top-grade spirit stones inside were also responding to the chaotic energy of the earth veins.
He stood at the entrance of the earth vein and felt a strong energy fluctuation coming from the depths. The air seemed to be distorted and the surrounding rocks made slight cracking sounds.
"It has to be quick!"
Nezha whispered, his steps becoming more rapid.
He walked deep into the earth veins. The core of the earth veins in front of him was like a huge heart. The surface was covered with complex lines, and violent energy flowed in the lines.
The air around the core of the earth vein was almost solidified, and the spiritual energy was as chaotic as spilled ink, running around everywhere.
Nezha opened the storage bag, and the light of the spirit stone instantly illuminated the entire core area of the earth vein.
He waved his hands, and the spirit stones in the storage bag flew towards the core of the earth vein as if being pulled by some force. The light of the spirit stones and the patterns of the core of the earth vein were intertwined, as if a silent contest was going on.
"Give it to me!"
Nezha let out a low shout and made some hand gestures. The light of the spirit stone suddenly intensified and the spiritual energy of the spirit stone quickly penetrated into the veins in the core of the earth veins.
The violent energy at the core of the earth veins was gradually suppressed by the power of the spirit stone, the chaos in the patterns began to subside, and the originally distorted air slowly returned to normal.
Beads of sweat oozed out of Nezha's forehead, but he did not slacken his concentration on the magic spells in his hands at all.
As the power of the spirit stone continued to be injected, the energy in the core of the earth veins finally stabilized completely, and the surrounding space returned to calm.
Nezha let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He turned and left the core of the earth vein. As soon as he walked out of the entrance of the earth vein, he saw Sun Wukong and Yang Jian standing not far away, looking at him seriously.
"The leyline energy has stabilized."
Nezha walked forward, his tone a little tired but more determined.
Sun Wukong nodded, his eyes still deep:
"Thank you for your hard work, Nezha. Although the earth vein energy has stabilized, Chen Tianjun's conspiracy has not been completely resolved. We must continue to remain vigilant."
Yang Jian took a step forward, the three-pointed double-edged sword trembling slightly in his hand, his eyes grim:
"Great Sage is right. Although Chen Tianjun's rune stones have been removed, there is no guarantee that he will not have other arrangements somewhere else."
Nezha gripped the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes:"This old thief is indeed insidious and cunning, but I think he has been dealt with almost completely!"
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and patted Nezha on the shoulder:
"It's good to have confidence, but we still need more preparations. Yang Jian, you and Nezha will return to heaven immediately and continue to repair the damaged palace to ensure that the defense of heaven is foolproof."
Yang Jian said nothing more, and nodded slightly:"Understood. I will personally oversee the restoration work."
Nezha nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Great Sage. Heaven's defense will never have any loopholes again."
Sun Wukong turned and looked towards the underworld in the distance, with a hint of thought in his eyes:
"As for me, I still have to go to the depths of the underworld to see if Chen Tianjun has any other arrangements."
Nezha and Yang Jian looked at each other and responded in unison:
"Be careful. If anything happens, call me at any time."
Sun Wukong's figure disappeared in the golden light and went straight into the depths of the underworld.
The gloomy atmosphere of the underworld seemed to be even heavier than before. The air was filled with the smell of decay and death. The darkness all around seemed to have substance, oppressing people's minds.
The moment he stepped into the underworld, his brows furrowed slightly, and the golden cudgel in his hand emitted a faint light, dispelling the darkness around him.
"The aura of the underworld is not right. It seems that Chen Tianjun's arrangements are more in-depth than we thought."
Sun Wukong muttered to himself, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
He walked slowly forward, his steps light but with a majesty that could not be ignored.
From time to time, low roars could be heard from the darkness around him, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in secret.
However, Sun Wukong remained unmoved, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he walked straight towards the depths of the underworld.
After walking for a while, Sun Wukong stopped and fixed his eyes on a rock wall in front of him.
The rock wall looked ordinary, but he keenly sensed a faint energy fluctuation, as if something was hidden behind the rock wall.
"It's hidden quite deeply."
Sun Wukong sneered, then swung his golden cudgel and chopped it down towards the rock wall.
"boom!"
The rock wall was shattered by the power of the golden hoop, revealing a narrow secret passage behind it.
The secret passage is extremely deep, as if leading to an endless abyss, and faint low humming sounds can be heard.
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and stepped into the secret passage without hesitation. The air in the secret passage was even colder, and the walls were covered with ancient runes, which flickered with a faint light, as if telling of some ancient and forbidden power.
As he moved forward, the secret passage became wider and wider, and finally, he stepped into a huge underground space.
This space seemed like a huge natural cave. The surrounding rock walls were covered with complicated runes. The light from the runes flickered in the darkness, making the entire space flicker.
And in the center of the space, a huge black energy ball was suspended, emitting a rich black light, as if all the energy of the entire space was attracted to it.
"Is this the final arrangement of Chen Tianjun?"
Sun Wukong muttered quietly, staring at the black energy ball with serious eyes.
He walked forward slowly and felt a strong pressure coming from the energy ball.
The surface of the energy ball was covered with twisted runes, as if it were a living creature that was constantly absorbing the surrounding energy.
Sun Wukong clenched his golden cudgel, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly jumped up and swung his golden cudgel towards the energy ball.
"boom!"
The golden cudgel slammed heavily on the surface of the energy ball, making a deafening explosion.
However, the energy ball was not damaged at all. Instead, it released a powerful recoil force that shocked Sun Wukong and made him retreat several steps.
"Sure enough, there are some doorways."
Sun Wukong steadied his body and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The energy ball seemed to be angered by his attack, and its surface began to fluctuate violently. Black gas surged out of the energy ball like a tide, quickly filling the entire space.
The black gas seemed to have life as it swept towards Sun Wukong, bringing with it a corrosive force, trying to corrode his body.
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently. Golden light burst out and dispersed the approaching black air.
However, the black gas seemed endless, continuously pouring out from the energy ball and quickly approaching again.
His eyes focused, and his body flashed like lightning, avoiding the invasion of the black air. At the same time, he kept waving the golden cudgel, trying to weaken the defense of the energy ball.
"If it doesn't work once, try it a few more times!"
Sun Wukong suddenly leaped up, and his golden cudgel drew a brilliant arc in the air, and with the force of thunder, he struck the energy ball again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under continuous attacks, cracks finally began to appear on the surface of the energy ball, and the speed of the black gas's outflow also slowed down. However, the energy ball's counterattack became more and more fierce, and the black gas turned into countless sharp blades, sweeping towards Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong dodged flexibly in the air, waving the golden cudgel in his hand continuously to smash the approaching black blades one by one.
However, the corrosiveness of the black air still caused his skin to feel stinging, as if countless insects were gnawing at his flesh and blood.
He clenched his teeth, a gleam of determination in his eyes.
"We can't delay it any longer!"
Sun Wukong suddenly shouted loudly, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his whole body. The power of the golden cudgel instantly increased to the extreme.
He rushed towards the energy ball like a flash of golden lightning and chopped it down heavily with the golden cudgel in his hand.
"Break it for me!"
"boom!"
The power of the golden hoop and the defense of the energy ball collided violently, shaking the entire underground space.
The surface of the energy ball quickly cracked, and black gas gushed out wildly. Finally, the energy ball was completely shattered by Sun Wukong's full-strength attack.
The source of the black gas was cut off, and the black gas in the entire space gradually dissipated, and the surrounding runes also dimmed.
Sun Wukong landed on the ground, breathing slightly, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
However, just when he thought everything was over, a black gas quietly emerged from the shattered energy ball and quickly invaded his body.
Sun Wukong's body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a cold force flowing through his meridians, as if it was going to devour his spiritual power.
His expression changed slightly, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"This black energy... can actually corrode my body!"
He immediately circulated the spiritual power in his body, trying to force the black air out of his body.
However, the black energy seemed to be integrated with his spiritual power and was difficult to separate.
Sun Wukong's brows were furrowed, and a serious look flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that the matter is not over yet."
He quickly took out a communication talisman, briefly described the situation in front of him, and then sent a message to Yang Jian and Nezha.
"Something has happened in the depths of the underworld, come and support us!"
After the message was delivered, Sun Wukong sat cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and began to suppress the black energy in his body with all his strength.
A faint golden light was surrounding his body, and the golden light and black energy were intertwined in his body, as if a silent battle was going on.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and his face gradually turned pale.
"This black energy... is more troublesome than I thought."
Sun Wukong's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, the spiritual power in his body was constantly eroded by the black air, and his consciousness began to become a little blurred.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in them.
"We can't wait any longer, we must find a solution as soon as possible!"
When Yang Jian and Nezha received the message from Sun Wukong, they didn't have time to think and immediately turned into two streams of light and headed straight for the depths of the underworld.
The cold breath of the underworld hit me in the face, and the air was filled with a smell of decay. The darkness around me seemed to have life, and low roars could be heard from time to time.
"The atmosphere of this place is getting more and more wrong."
Yang Jian frowned slightly, the three-pointed, double-edged sword trembled slightly in his hand, and a cold light appeared on the blade.
He glanced around grimly, but his steps remained steady with a hint of vigilance.
Nezha gripped the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes:"Yang Jian, what on earth did the monkey encounter? Why did he need us to come here quickly?"
Yang Jian did not respond immediately, but quickened his pace:
"Whatever it is, since the Great Sage has sent a message, it must be an emergency. We must find him as soon as possible."
The two of them traveled quickly all the way and soon arrived at a huge underground space deep in the underworld.
The surrounding rock walls were covered with complex runes. The light from the runes flickered in the darkness, illuminating the entire space with flickering light.
In the center of the space, Sun Wukong was sitting cross-legged, with golden light and black air intertwined around him, his face was pale, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"monkey!"
Nezha exclaimed and walked quickly forward, his eyes full of shock.
"How are you?"
Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse:
"You guys are here... I have been invaded by a mysterious black energy. I have suppressed it temporarily, but I cannot force it out completely."
Yang Jian frowned, took a step forward, and carefully checked Sun Wukong's condition:
"This black energy is extremely strange, and seems to be related to the energy of the earth veins. I will try to use the power of the three-pointed double-edged sword to force it out."
After he finished speaking, he swung the three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand violently. A dazzling cold light flashed on the blade and it quickly stabbed towards Sun Wukong's chest.
However, as soon as the blade touched the black air, the black air spread along the blade like a sticky liquid, as if it was going to attack Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's face changed, and he quickly drew back his three-pointed double-edged sword, with a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes:"No, this black energy has extremely strong resistance, and I can't force it out with my own strength."
Seeing this, Nezha's eyes burned with fighting spirit, and the flames of the broken spear suddenly rose:"I'll try!"
He swung the broken spear, and the flame at the tip of the spear turned into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards the black air in Sun Wukong's body.
The flames collided with the black air, making a low humming sound. However, the black air was not only not burned, but instead had a tendency to backfire. Nezha's flames were quickly suppressed, and the black air spread along the flames, heading straight for Nezha's wrist.
"not good!"
Nezha let out a low roar and quickly put away his gun, his eyes full of shock.
"This black energy can't even burn my flames, and it has a tendency to backfire!"
Yang Jian looked stern, pondered for a moment, and whispered:"We can't suppress this black energy with our own strength alone, why don't we try together?"
Nezha nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:"understand!"
The two men quickly stood still, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in Yang Jian's hand and Nezha's broken spear were swung out at the same time. The sword light and flames intertwined together to form a powerful energy, which went straight to the black air in Sun Wukong's body.
"boom!"
The energy and black air collided, shaking the entire underground space.
The black gas gradually dissipated under the suppression of energy, and Sun Wukong's expression also eased a little.
However, the black gas did not completely disappear and still stubbornly remained in Sun Wukong's body.
Yang Jian retracted his three-pointed double-edged sword and panted slightly:“It has been suppressed temporarily, but it cannot be completely eradicated.”
Nezha clenched the broken spear, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes:"What on earth is this black energy? It's so troublesome!"
Sun Wukong stood up slowly, his face still pale, but his eyes were still stern:"This black energy is related to Chen Tianjun's conspiracy. I'm afraid it is some kind of ancient forbidden power. We must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
