Chapter 471
Sun Wukong's voice was low and powerful, and the spell echoed in the secret room, as if every syllable carried an ancient power.
The runes on the crystal ball gradually lit up as the spell was chanted. Black energy slowly seeped out from the runes, forming a vortex-like energy field.
Nezha stared at the crystal ball closely, the flaming spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear looked particularly dazzling in the darkness.
He frowned and whispered:
"Monkey, be careful, this power is wrong."
Sun Wukong did not respond. He continued to chant the spell, but his eyes were fixed on the crystal ball.
As the last syllable fell, the crystal ball shook violently, and a black aura suddenly burst out, forming a strong shock wave that rushed straight towards the two of them.
Sun Wukong retreated quickly, holding the golden cudgel across his chest, leaning forward slightly, in a defensive posture.
Nezha also reacted quickly, the flame of the Fire Spear suddenly surged, forming a wall of fire, trying to block the shock wave.
"boom!"
The flames and the black aura collided with each other, shaking the entire secret room.
The power of the shock wave was far beyond expectations. Nezha's wall of fire was instantly defeated, and his body was shaken and slid back a few steps.
He steadied himself, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes:"The power of this crystal ball is so strong!"
Sun Wukong frowned, the golden cudgel in his hand trembled slightly, and his eyes quickly swept across the crystal ball:"Something's wrong. This crystal ball seems to be actively attacking us."
At this moment, the black gas in the center of the crystal ball suddenly condensed, and a black shadow flew out from it, hovering above the crystal ball.
The black shadow gradually condensed into a human figure, which was Chen Tianjun's soul.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Tianjun's soul let out a sinister laugh, the sound was hoarse and harsh.
"Sun Wukong, I didn't expect you to find this place. Unfortunately, you are too late!"
Nezha's eyes burned with anger, and he swung the flaming spear in his hand violently. The flames from the spear tip rushed directly at Chen Tianjun's soul:"Chen Tianjun, you old thief, how dare you be so arrogant!"
However, before the flames could touch Chen Tianjun's soul, they were blocked by an invisible barrier and quickly dissipated.
Chen Tianjun's soul sneered:"Nezha, your flames can't hurt me."
Sun Wukong's eyes were stern, and he raised the golden cudgel in his hand slightly, with a hint of temptation in his tone:"Chen Tianjun, your conspiracy has been discovered by us, just surrender."
Chen Tianjun's soul snorted coldly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes:"Sun Wukong, do you think you can stop me? This crystal ball contains all my strength. You can't destroy it at all!"
Sun Wukong did not respond, but walked forward slowly. The golden cudgel in his hand trembled slightly, and a faint light emanated from the cudgel.
He glanced at the crystal ball and whispered to Nezha:"Chen Tianjun's soul has been activated. We must get rid of him as soon as possible."
Nezha nodded, tightened his grip on the Fire Spear, and the flame on the tip of the spear ignited again, his eyes full of fighting spirit:"Monkey, let's join forces to completely crush his conspiracy!"
When Chen Tianjun's soul saw this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes:"Humph, you are just like an ant, yet you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me!"
Sun Wukong did not give him the chance to attack again. He swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently, and struck Chen Tianjun's soul with the force of thunder.
The golden cudgel drew a brilliant arc in the air, and the force of the cudgel rubbed against the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Chen Tianjun's soul retreated quickly, his figure floating in the air like a ghost, easily avoiding Sun Wukong's attack.
He sneered:
"Sun Wukong, your attack is ineffective against me!"
At this moment, Nezha suddenly attacked, and the flame of the Fire Spear turned into a long dragon, rushing straight towards Chen Tianjun's soul.
The flames roared in the air, with scorching heat, as if they were going to engulf the entire secret room.
Chen Tianjun's soul raised his hand slightly, and a black aura surged out from his hand, instantly swallowing the flames.
He looked at Nezha with contempt in his eyes: "
A mere flame can't do anything to me!"
A hint of coldness flashed across Sun Wukong's eyes. He tightly grasped the golden hoop with both hands and shouted in a low voice:
"Nezha, stand back!"
Nezha retreated quickly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes:"Monkey, be careful!"
Sun Wukong did not respond, but began to chant softly, and the light of the golden cudgel in his hand became brighter and brighter.
His eyes were fixed on Chen Tianjun's soul, and his tone was firm:"Chen Tianjun, although your power is strong, it is not invincible."
As the spell was chanted, the light on the golden hoop suddenly burst out, forming a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
The entire secret room was illuminated by this light, and the black aura quickly dissipated under the light.
When Chen Tianjun's soul saw this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:"This is impossible! How can you have such pure power!"
Sun Wukong smiled coldly:"Chen Tianjun, no matter how strong your black energy is, it cannot resist the power of heaven and earth!"
He swung the golden cudgel violently, and the beam of light instantly turned into countless light blades, heading straight for Chen Tianjun's soul.
The blade of light whistled in the air with unparalleled power, as if it was going to completely shatter all the darkness.
Chen Tianjun's soul tried to dodge, but the light blade was so fast that it surrounded him in an instant.
His figure gradually became blurred under the cutting of the light blade, and finally he let out a shrill scream and completely disappeared.
As Chen Tianjun's spirit dissipated, the runes on the crystal ball gradually dimmed and the black aura quickly dissipated.
The entire secret room returned to calm, and the depressing feeling in the air disappeared.
Sun Wukong slowly retracted his golden cudgel, glanced at the crystal ball, and whispered:"Chen Tianjun's soul has been destroyed, and the power in this crystal ball has also lost its source."
Nezha stepped forward, the flaming spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the flame on the tip of the spear gradually went out:
"Monkey, what should we do next?"
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and said, "Although Chen Tianjun's soul has been destroyed, his remnants are still there. We must find their base as soon as possible and completely eliminate the hidden dangers."
Nezha nodded, his eyes full of determination:"Okay, let's act now!"
Sun Wukong looked at the crystal ball, walked slowly forward, and reached out to touch the sphere gently.
The surface of the crystal ball has lost its luster, and there is no longer any energy fluctuation in the runes.
He whispered:"This crystal ball is the core arrangement of Chen Tianjun. We must completely destroy it to prevent him from having the opportunity to use it again."
He raised the golden cudgel in his hand and swung it violently. The golden cudgel smashed the crystal ball with the force of thunder.
"Boom--" The golden hoop hit the crystal ball heavily, making a deafening sound. The entire secret room trembled at this blow, and the runes around it quickly dimmed as the crystal ball shattered.
The crystal ball shattered into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground. A black aura emanated from the pieces, like wisps of smoke, drifting in the air with a smell of decay.
Seeing this, Nezha quickly swung the Fire Spear in his hand. The flame at the tip of the spear instantly turned into a sea of fire, completely burning away the black aura.
"call--"
The flames raged in the air, and the black aura quickly dissipated under the high temperature, turning into ashes and falling to the ground. The cold and gloomy atmosphere in the entire secret room also disappeared, replaced by a peaceful atmosphere.
Sun Wukong's brows relaxed slightly, and he shook the golden cudgel in his hand lightly, and the light on the cudgel gradually dissipated. He lowered his head and glanced at the debris on the ground, with a hint of relief in his tone:"Now, Chen Tianjun's arrangement is completely ruined."
Nezha put away his flaming spear, took a few steps closer, and scanned the secret room:"There should be something else in this secret room. Chen Tianjun would not leave only a crystal ball."
Sun Wukong nodded, and his eyes swept across the walls of the secret room, and suddenly he noticed a hidden stone platform in the corner. He walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and gently pushed it, and the stone platform slowly moved, revealing a secret compartment underneath.
There was an ancient parchment scroll in the secret compartment. The scroll was covered with complex patterns, exuding a mysterious aura.
"This is……"
Sun Wukong reached out and picked up the parchment scroll, gently unfolding it. The patterns on the scroll gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a treasure map.
Nezha took a closer look, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:"Treasure map? Chen Tianjun, this guy, left something like this behind?"
Sun Wukong carefully examined the treasure map, his fingers gently running across it, a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"The location marked on this treasure map... seems to be an underground cave deep in the Kunlun Mountains."
Nezha raised his eyebrows, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes:"Monkey, should we go take a look? Maybe we can find other clues."
Sun Wukong nodded, with a hint of firmness in his tone:"Okay, since Chen Tianjun still left this kind of thing, let's go find out."
The two men quickly walked out of the secret room, returned along the original path, and left the dilapidated temple.
The Kunlun Mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.
Sun Wukong and Nezha arrived at the location marked on the treasure map, and the scene before them made them slightly stunned.
A huge rock wall stands deep in the valley. Below the rock wall is a cave entrance blocked by huge rocks. The area around the cave entrance is covered with moss, and it is obvious that no one has set foot in it for many years.
Nezha walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the boulder, and felt a cool touch at his fingertips:
"This huge rock... weighs at least a thousand pounds. Ordinary manpower cannot move it at all."
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes:"A mere boulder can't faze me."
He walked forward slowly, holding the golden cudgel tightly in both hands, and a faint glow appeared on the cudgel.
Then, he swung the golden cudgel violently, and the cudgel smashed towards the boulder with the force of thunder.
"boom!"
The huge rock shattered instantly under the powerful force of the golden hoop, turning into countless pieces of stone that scattered on the ground.
A deep passage was revealed at the entrance of the cave, and bursts of cold air came from the passage, as if it led to deep underground.
Sun Wukong put away his golden cudgel and scanned the passage with a hint of caution in his tone:"This cave is not simple, be careful."
Nezha nodded, the fire spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the flame on the tip of the spear looked particularly dazzling in the darkness:"Monkey, let's go and see what secrets this cave holds."
The two men stepped into the passage without hesitation, and the weapons in their hands emitted a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
The passage became wider and wider, and some ancient runes began to appear on the surrounding rock walls, faintly revealing a mysterious power.
Sun Wukong's eyes swept over the rune and whispered:"These runes...are similar to those arranged by Chen Tianjun. It seems that this cave is related to him."
Nezha held the Fire Spear tightly, his eyes full of vigilance:
"How many things has Chen Tianjun arranged?"
The two continued to move forward, and at the end of the passage was a huge underground cave.
The cave is full of stalactites, and the stone walls are flickering with faint light, as bright as the starry sky.
In the center of the cave, an ancient altar stood proudly, on top of which was a bronze box engraved with intricate runes, from which a powerful energy fluctuation could be vaguely seen.
Sun Wukong and Nezha looked at each other, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.
Sun Wukong's mouth corners slightly raised:
"It seems that we have found another secret of Chen Tianjun."
Nezha held the Fire Spear tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit:
"Monkey, let's open the box and see what's hidden inside."
Sun Wukong nodded, walked forward slowly, and reached out to gently touch the surface of the box.
The runes on the box flickered slightly as he touched it, and then emitted a low humming sound.
"Click——"
The box slowly opened, and a dazzling light shone out from the box, illuminating the entire cave.
The two of them took a closer look and saw a piece of crystal clear jade in the box. There seemed to be liquid flowing inside the jade, emitting pure spiritual energy.
"This is……"
A hint of surprise flashed in Nezha's eyes.
Sun Wukong carefully examined the jade and whispered:"This jade... seems to be the medium used by Chen Tianjun to store energy. He really has a backup plan."
He reached out and took out the jade. The jade felt warm to the touch, as if endless pure spiritual energy was flowing within it.
Nezha frowned:
"Monkey, we have to take this jade back and study it carefully."
Sun Wukong nodded, put the jade in his arms, scanned the cave, and after confirming that there were no other threats, he turned around and said:"Let's go back."
The two returned along the original route. The runes in the passage gradually dimmed as the jade was taken out, and the entire cave returned to calm.
After walking out of the cave, Sun Wukong looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone through the clouds onto his face, reflecting a firm and confident look.
He whispered:"The remnants of Chen Tianjun's forces are still there. We must act as soon as possible to completely eliminate the hidden dangers."
After he finished speaking, Sun Wukong took out the jade from his arms, gently stroked the surface of the jade with his fingertips, and felt the pure spiritual power flowing in it.
He looked up at Nezha and Yang Jian, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:"The remaining forces of Chen Tianjun are spread all over the three realms. We must act as soon as possible to completely eliminate his hidden dangers."
Nezha gripped the Fire Spear tightly, frowned slightly, and glanced at the jade:“Monkey, since this jade is the medium for Chen Tianjun to store energy, maybe we can find similar clues from his other strongholds. We can’t give him any chance to breathe!”
