Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 326: Kill the inner demon with a sword, the ultimate achievement!
The golden ball of light floated above Xia He's palm, rotating slowly like a dazzling sun, emitting warm light.

The cold and gloomy atmosphere remaining in the ruins gradually dissipated under the illumination of the light ball, just like ice and snow melting in the sun.

Xia He controlled the light ball to slowly fly towards the center of the ruins. Wherever the light ball shone, the remaining energy fluctuations in the ruins gradually subsided, as if smoothed out by an invisible giant hand.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She carefully sensed the changes in the surrounding energy, trying to find the source of this cold energy.

Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was trying to catch something. A gust of wind blew, lifting a few strands of hair in front of her forehead, gently dancing in the air.

There was a faint smell of blood and burning in the wind, which was the trace left after the disaster. There was deathly silence around the ruins, with only the howling of the wind, which added a bit of horror.

Suddenly, Xia He opened her eyes abruptly, and a gleam of light flashed in her golden pupils. She looked towards a towering mountain in the distance, her eyes sharp, as if they could penetrate layers of obstacles and reach the top of the mountain.

Without any hesitation, she disappeared instantly, leaving only a shadow that dissipated in the wind.

The next moment, Xia He's figure appeared on the top of the mountain. The howling wind made her clothes rustle. She stood steadily on the top of the mountain. There were rugged rocks under her feet and rolling mountains in the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

There is an ancient altar on the top of the mountain. The altar is made of huge bluestone blocks. After being eroded by wind and rain, the surface is covered with mottled marks, revealing a sense of vicissitudes...

In the center of the altar, there were intricate runes carved. The runes glowed with a dark red light and emitted the same cold energy fluctuations as those in the ruins.

Seeing the runes on the altar, Xia He's eyes focused. She raised her hand, and golden light condensed between her slender fingers, condensed into purple-gold fire, and then turned into a lightsaber.

The lightsaber was transparent and emitted a dazzling light. There was a faint flame dancing around the blade. Without any hesitation, she swung the lightsaber and slashed at the rune in the center of the altar.

"laugh--"

The lightsaber collided with the rune, making a harsh sound, the rune shattered, and dark red light splashed everywhere, as brilliant as fireworks.

The altar shook violently, making loud rumbling sounds, as if it would collapse at any time. A powerful energy shock wave spread out in all directions with the altar as the center. The surrounding trees were uprooted, rocks collapsed, sand and rocks flew, and the sky was dark.

Faced with this powerful shock wave, Xia He remained calm. She mobilized the original power of the world in her body. The golden light formed a barrier around her, protecting her firmly.

The shock wave hit the barrier with a deafening noise. The barrier trembled slightly but did not break.

The vibrations of the altar became more and more violent. Finally, with a loud bang, the altar collapsed, revealing a deep pit underneath the altar. The pit was dark and deep, like a gate to hell. A cold breath emanated from it, which made people shudder.

Xia He jumped into the deep pit without hesitation. The bottom of the pit was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only a little light from above could barely illuminate a small area around it...

A strong fishy smell hit me in the face, making me sick.

After Xia He landed, she immediately looked around vigilantly...

Suddenly, she felt a powerful breath coming from behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw a huge black monster lurking at the bottom of the pit.

The monster was huge, like a small mountain, covered in black scales that shone with a metallic luster...

It had a ferocious dragon head, exposed fangs in its mouth, and a pair of blood-red eyes emitting a fierce light, staring at Xia He!

"Roar--"

The black monster let out a deafening roar, opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Xia He.

Xia He's eyes narrowed, and the lightsaber appeared in her hand again. She snorted coldly:
"Beast, courting death!"

The next moment, she turned her wrist, and the golden lightsaber made a sword flower, stabbing towards the huge mouth of the black monster...

The tip of the sword collided with the fang, sparking dazzling sparks. The sharp friction sound resounded throughout the deep pit. The power of the origin of the world contained in the lightsaber seemed to have a restraining effect on the black monster. At the moment of contact, the surface of the black scales sizzled and puffs of black smoke emerged.

The black monster screamed in pain, and its huge body suddenly took a few steps back...

Its blood-red eyes stared at the lightsaber in Xia He's hand. The ferocity in its eyes became even stronger, but there was also a hint of fear.

"It seems that you are not a powerful person..."

Xia He raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile. She gripped the lightsaber tightly, her figure flashed, and she turned into a golden light and rushed towards the monster.

The next moment, the monster opened its huge mouth and spewed out a ball of black flames. The flames carried a burning breath and instantly enveloped her...

However, she stood still in the flames, and the golden barrier appeared again, blocking all the black flames out!
Her eyes flashed with golden light as she locked onto the monster's figure in the flames. Outside the barrier, black flames rolled, reflecting Xia He's resolute face.

"Is that all you have?"

She chuckled, and her figure shuttled out from the black flames. The light of the lightsaber in her hand suddenly increased, and she chopped it down fiercely at the monster's head.

The monster seemed to have anticipated Xia He's attack. It tilted its huge head sharply and barely avoided the fatal blow. The lightsaber brushed across the monster's neck, leaving behind a patch of black scales.

"The response is quite fast!"

Xia He was slightly surprised, but he did not reduce his offensive power. He swung the lightsaber again, turning it into sword shadows all over the sky, covering the monster.

The monster roared, and its huge body flexibly dodged the sword's attack. Its sharp claws kept waving, bringing up gusts of wind, trying to force Xia He back...

The gravel in the deep pit was picked up by the strong wind and flew in the air!
Xia He's figure was erratic, wandering around the monster like a ghost, wielding the lightsaber in her hand with great vigor, and each attack was aimed directly at the monster's vital points. Although the monster was huge, it seemed a little clumsy under Xia He's flexible attack and could only passively defend.

"You're too slow!"

Xia He chuckled with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. She flashed again and appeared behind the monster, and stabbed the monster's back with her lightsaber.

The monster sensed the danger behind it, turned around abruptly, and swept its huge tail across with a whistling sound, trying to knock her away!

Xia He had anticipated this, and dodged the monster's attack again, slashing the monster's tail with her lightsaber...

"Hiss——" The monster let out a painful roar. A wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on its tail. Black blood gushed out and splashed onto the bottom of the deep pit!

The monster felt the pain and attacked Xia He even more frantically, waving its sharp claws and tail continuously, smashing the ground at the bottom of the deep pit into potholes and splashing gravel.

"It seems that's all you have."

Xia He snorted coldly and exerted force suddenly. The lightsaber flew out of his hand and turned into a golden stream of light that spun around the monster at high speed, cutting out scars deep enough to see the bone!
The black monster screamed in pain and swung its body wildly to try to escape the attack of the lightsaber, but the spinning lightsaber became faster and faster, eventually forming a golden halo that trapped the monster...

Xia He took the opportunity to fly up, and with a thought, she mobilized the original power of the world. Golden light bloomed on her body, and a powerful pressure swept across the entire deep pit. Cracks began to appear in the rocks around the deep pit, and small pieces of gravel kept falling!
She thrust her hands forward suddenly, and a beam of golden light burst out from her palms, directly hitting the monster trapped in the light circle...

The moment the golden light column came into contact with the aperture, a dazzling light burst out. The huge impact force cracked the bottom of the deep pit, and the surrounding rocks collapsed, raising dust!

The light faded, and the black monster disappeared, leaving only black ashes all over the ground, slowly drifting away at the bottom of the deep pit...

Looking at these ashes, Xia He also knew the true face of the monster. This was the "confusion", "doubt" and "indecision" left in his heart... it was the "demon in his heart"!
Only by killing them all can we make further progress!
And the next moment...

In the darkness, more monsters emerged, destroying the entire mountain range, razing it to the ground, and launched an attack once again!

"..."

Xia He understood that these monsters were also the embodiment of inner demons, and her heart shuddered.

She took a deep breath and increased her strength to the extreme. Visible golden energy fluctuations spread out from her as the center. The surrounding space began to distort slightly, and the originally howling gale gradually subsided, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

The lingering cold atmosphere in the ruins was dispelled by the golden light, and was replaced by a sacred and majestic power. A huge golden barrier formed in front of her, like a solid wall, blocking the monsters' attacks.

The collision between the barrier and the monster made a deafening sound, and the surrounding space trembled. Pieces of gravel flew everywhere and hit the surrounding stone ground, making crackling sounds.

In an instant, some smaller monsters were blown away by the impact, tumbling in the air and letting out shrill roars...

Xia He's eyes focused, and golden light flowed on the barrier like liquid. Her hands changed again, and the golden barrier turned into countless golden lightsabers, shooting towards the group of monsters like a rainstorm.

The lightsaber pierced through the monsters' bodies, defeating them one by one, turning them into black ashes that floated in the air like black snowflakes...

However, more monsters emerged from the darkness and rushed towards Xia He like a tide!

These monsters have various shapes, some look like ferocious beasts, some look like humans, and some even look like a twisted shadow. They make all kinds of roars that make people's eardrums numb.

Xia He kept changing her moves and engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters. Her figure was erratic, and she shuttled among the monsters like a ghost. Her hands were shining with golden light, and every wave took the lives of several monsters.

Sometimes she would soar into the air, and her lightsaber would turn into a rain of swords that would fall from the sky, covering large swathes of monsters...

Sometimes he swooped down, and the lightsaber turned into a golden lightning, instantly piercing through the bodies of several monsters...

She is agile and her moves are unpredictable. Every attack she makes is precise and deadly without any delay.

Countless cracks appeared on the ground, spreading like a spider web, and the entire land seemed to be destroyed by this fierce battle.

However, even though Xia He was powerful, the number of monsters seemed endless. They rushed forward fearlessly. Even if they were defeated, new monsters would immediately replenish them, as if they could never be killed.

Xia He gradually felt exhausted, her breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead...

She realized that this was not a solution and she had to find the right method to completely eliminate them!

In the battle with the monsters, Xia He gradually realized that these monsters were not entities, but were condensed from some kind of energy. They had no "real life" and no sense of pain, and they only attacked her based on instinct.

She suddenly remembered the experiences passed down by the "top masters", and her mind suddenly became clear. Since these monsters represent the fear, doubt and indecision in her heart, she should overcome them!

The next moment, Xia He's eyes became firm. She stopped attacking blindly and started trying to communicate with these inner demons. At the same time, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

After a moment, the golden light on her body became more dazzling, and a powerful aura emanated from her, oppressing the monsters around her. The monsters seemed to feel the aura as well, their attacks became slower, and a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes.

Then, Xia He slowly raised her hands with her palms facing up. Golden light condensed in her palms, forming a huge golden ball of light. The ball of light emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire world and dispelling all darkness.

"bring it on!"

In an instant, she suddenly opened her eyes with golden light flashing in them. She pushed the ball of light in her hand towards the group of monsters. The ball of light quickly expanded in the air and eventually enveloped all the monsters!
wow——

"I finally...did it!"

When the light faded, everything around her also disappeared. Xia He's clenched fists slowly relaxed. She looked down at her hands, and there were faint golden spots of light remaining on her palms.

She waved her arms gently, feeling everything about herself. An unprecedented feeling arose spontaneously, and the air around her seemed to vibrate with it.

next moment……

Xia He's eyes moved, and in a blink of an eye, he came to a void, and a door appeared in front of him.

She knew that this was the door leading to the "top", representing a breakthrough and also a new "responsibility". Without any hesitation, she stepped forward and placed her hand on the door.

Quack, quack, quack——

With a strong push, the door opened naturally. Xia He immediately felt the "spying" from outside, but just snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

Cast a disdainful look.

Then, she in reality opened her eyes, and a mysterious light condensed around her body. She broke through the "peak" and entered a new realm!
