Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 442

Sun Wukong walked slowly in the depths of the underworld, his eyes as sharp as lightning, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

The yin energy of the underworld was already as thick as fog, but now it was even thicker, and even exuded a faint sense of oppression that made people's hearts palpitate.

He was secretly alert in his heart, and raised the golden hoop in his hand slightly. A hint of golden light appeared on the tip of the hoop, which dispelled some of the negative energy around him.

"This yin energy... is even stronger than before. Could it be that the people from the Nether Palace are making some moves in the underworld?"

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

He continued to move forward, going deeper, with some guesses in his mind.

Suddenly, he paused and his eyes fell on a dark corner in front of him.

There was a faint fluctuation of yin energy coming from there, as if it came from underground.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"It's well hidden, but unfortunately it can't be hidden from my sharp eyes."

He walked forward slowly, and lightly lifted the golden cudgel in his hand, and a crack suddenly appeared on the ground.

A faint blue light shone through the gap, as if something was stirring underneath.

Sun Wukong stepped down without hesitation, and the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a bottomless passage.

The passage was filled with dark fog and gloomy air, and occasionally one could hear a few low roars, as if countless souls were wailing in it.

Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong jumped into the passage and quickly rushed downwards as fast as lightning.

At the end of the passage is a secret room, which is covered with strange runes. The runes are filled with rich netherworld power, enveloping the entire room.

Sun Wukong stood at the entrance of the secret room with a stern look in his eyes. He raised the golden cudgel in his hand slightly, and the golden light dispelled some of the black fog, revealing the scene inside the secret room.

Inside the secret room, countless souls were imprisoned by the power of the underworld. They were either crawling on the ground or hanging in the air, with painful expressions on their faces, as if they were suffering endless torture.

Sun Wukong frowned, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes:

"How dare the Netherworld Palace act so recklessly in the underworld? It's truly lawless!"

He no longer hesitated, and swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently. The golden light slashed at the runes around the secret room like a sharp sword.

The runes quickly collapsed under the golden light, the power of the underworld dispersed, and the barrier of the entire secret room was completely broken.

The imprisoned souls were suddenly freed and rushed towards Sun Wukong, their eyes full of gratitude and hope.

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He raised his hand and waved it. A soft golden light enveloped these souls and sent them to the reincarnation place in the underworld.

"Go with peace of mind. I will settle the evil deeds of the Nether Palace."

Sun Wukong whispered, with an unshakable determination in his voice.

After the spirits dispersed, Sun Wukong's gaze once again fell on the center of the secret room.

There was a stone table there, and on the stone table was a scroll. The surface of the scroll was flowing with the light of Netherworld power, and it was obviously an important item in the Netherworld Palace.

He walked forward, reached out and picked up the scroll, and quickly scanned the contents on it.

As he read, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the coldness in his eyes grew more intense.

"What a Netherworld Palace! How dare they lay such a conspiracy in the underworld, attempting to control the underworld and then overthrow the Heavenly Court!"

Sun Wukong spoke to himself coldly, with a tone of uncontrollable anger in his voice.

He put away the scroll, flashed away, quickly left the secret room and headed straight for the heaven.

After returning to heaven, Sun Wukong went straight to find Yang Jian and others.

In the Qitian Palace, Yang Jian, Nezha and Li Jing were discussing countermeasures. Seeing Sun Wukong rushing over, Yang Jian frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:
"Monkey, what's the hurry?"

Sun Wukong did not answer, but handed the scroll over directly:

"Look at this."

Yang Jian took the scroll, glanced through it quickly, and his face suddenly darkened.

Nezha and Li Jing also came forward, and after reading the contents of the scroll, they both had solemn expressions on their faces.

"How dare the Netherworld Palace lay such a conspiracy in the underworld? How audacious!"

Nezha said angrily, the red tasseled spear in his hand trembled slightly, and a cold light flashed from the tip of the spear.

Li Jing frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said in a low voice:

"The plan of the Netherworld Palace is so thorough, it is obvious that they have been planning for a long time. If we don't stop it in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong with a stern gaze and said in a serious tone:
"Monkey, did you find any other clues during your trip to the underworld?"

Sun Wukong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"In addition to this scroll, I also found a secret room that holds countless souls controlled by the Nether Palace. Their power in the underworld cannot be underestimated. We must act quickly."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then said:
"This matter is of great importance. We must thoroughly investigate the underworld and mobilize the heavenly soldiers and generals to take strict precautions."

Sun Wukong nodded, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes:
"The people from the Nether Palace must be completely eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Nezha snorted coldly, pointed the tip of his spear at the ground, and said firmly:
"We must not let them escape this time!"

Li Jing picked up the scroll and studied it carefully, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper:

"The plan on this scroll is extremely thorough. The Nether Palace's target is not just the underworld. They also seem to be planning to use the negative energy of the underworld to directly affect the Heavenly Palace. We must find their weak points as soon as possible to completely dismantle their conspiracy."

Sun Wukong clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crackling sound:
"No matter who it is, as long as they dare to stir up trouble in Heaven and Hell, I will eradicate them completely!"

Yang Jian glanced at him, with a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Monkey, the forces of the Nether Palace are intertwined and we need a thorough plan. You take a rest first, and we will discuss countermeasures after I sort it out."

Sun Wukong nodded, then turned and walked out of the Qitian Hall. Standing outside the hall, he looked deeply at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

He took a deep breath, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Yang Jian, Nezha and Li Jing acted quickly and carried out their actions according to their plans.

The security in heaven became increasingly strict, with heavenly soldiers and generals patrolling everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Half a day later...

Sun Wukong stood outside the hall, with the golden cudgel in his hand slightly raised, and a hint of golden light flashed from the tip of the cudgel.

His eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they could see through all the darkness.

After a moment, he turned back into the hall and walked straight towards Yang Jian and others.

The atmosphere in the hall was still solemn. Everyone looked serious, and they were obviously worried about the conspiracy of the Nether Palace.

"Yang Jian, I have made up my mind."

Sun Wukong spoke in a low voice and with a firm gaze.

"I will personally lead the team to go deep into the underworld and thoroughly investigate the remaining forces of the Nether Palace."

Yang Jian looked up at him, frowned slightly, and spoke with a hint of worry:
"Monkey, the Underworld is the lair of the Nether Palace. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to lead the team alone?"

Sun Wukong snorted lightly, with a confident smile on his face:

"Take a risk? Old Yang, when have you ever seen me being cowardly? Besides, I will select a group of elite soldiers to accompany me this time, and I will never give them a chance to counterattack."

Nezha stood aside, gently turning the red tasseled spear in his hand, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit: "Monkey, I'll go with you! I'm very familiar with the underworld, and I'll make sure those remnants of the Nether Palace have nowhere to hide!"

Sun Wukong patted Nezha on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I feel more at ease with you here. However, the defense of the Heavenly Palace cannot be relaxed. You have to arrange your people first before you can go to the underworld with me."

Nezha nodded, his tone firm:
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away and make sure the Heaven Palace is as solid as a rock!"

Li Jing also put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Sun Wukong with a serious look in his eyes:

"Monkey, this operation is of great importance and requires a careful plan. Where do you plan to start?"

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said slowly:
"I plan to start with the bases of the Nether Palace in the underworld. Although these bases are hidden, we have already obtained some clues. As long as we destroy their bases, we can gradually disintegrate their power."

Yang Jian nodded and agreed:

"Yes, once the base of the Nether Palace is destroyed, their actions will inevitably be severely hit. However, Monkey, you must be careful. The Yin energy of the underworld has a great suppression on the magical powers of the gods. If you go deep into it, you must always be vigilant."

Sun Wukong smiled calmly, his tone relaxed:

"Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Besides, I have a sharp eye. Those remnants of the Nether Palace will have a hard time trying to play tricks under my nose!"

Seeing how confident he was, Li Jing stopped talking and just told him:

"Since you have made up your mind, then act as soon as possible. I will continue to analyze the intelligence in the Heavenly Palace and try to find more clues about the 'Palace Master'."

Sun Wukong nodded, then turned and walked out of the hall with firm steps. As he walked, he said to Yang Jian:

"Old Yang, don't just sit there and continue to secretly investigate the suspicious people in the Heavenly Court. Since the Nether Palace dares to stir up trouble under the nose of the Heavenly Court, there is no guarantee that there is no traitor."

Yang Jian's eyes were stern and his voice was low:
"Don't worry, I will handle it. If you encounter anything unusual in the underworld, send a message back immediately, and don't rush in."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone:

"Understood. When I come back, we'll have another good drink!"

After he said that, his figure flashed and turned into a ray of golden light, heading straight for the Heavenly Soldiers' camp.

In the heavenly army camp, Sun Wukong quickly gathered a group of elite soldiers.

These heavenly soldiers all had solemn expressions and determined gazes. They were obviously the most elite warriors in heaven.

Sun Wukong stood in front of the camp, his eyes were like torches, his voice was loud and clear:
"Everyone, in this operation, we must thoroughly investigate the remaining forces of the Nether Palace in the underworld. You must follow me into the underworld and be careful and don't take it lightly!"

The heavenly soldiers responded in unison:
"As ordered!"

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction, and then led everyone straight to the underworld.

At the same time, Yang Jian also began his secret investigation.

He quietly sneaked into every corner of the Heavenly Palace and carefully checked the whereabouts and background of every Heavenly Palace official.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and nothing suspicious could escape his eyes.

In a remote palace, Yang Jian discovered something unusual about a heavenly official.

This official usually behaves very cautiously, but recently he has frequently entered and exited the forbidden areas of heaven.

Yang Jian frowned slightly, secretly alert in his heart:
"This person's behavior is strange. I'm afraid he is related to the Netherworld Palace."

He quietly followed the official, trying to get more clues.

At the same time, Nezha was also patrolling various places in the Heavenly Palace to strengthen the defense.

He commanded the heavenly soldiers and generals to strictly control every corner of the Heavenly Palace to ensure that no one from the Nether Palace could infiltrate.

In another place in Heaven, Li Jing was carefully analyzing the information in the scroll.

His gaze was sometimes solemn and sometimes deep, and it was obvious that he had discovered a lot of key information about the Nether Palace.

"These intelligence reports show that the 'Palace Master' of the Nether Palace is most likely hiding in a forbidden area deep in the underworld."

Li Jing muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

"It seems that we must act as soon as possible to completely eradicate their threat."

He quickly compiled these clues into a book and prepared to discuss it with Yang Jian, Sun Wukong and others.

At this time, Sun Wukong had led the heavenly soldiers deep into the underworld.

The yin energy of the underworld was so thick that it was suffocating. It was pitch black all around, with only the weapons in the hands of the heavenly soldiers emitting a faint light.

Sun Wukong walked at the front of the team, with the golden cudgel in his hand slightly raised, and the golden light dispelled the negative energy around him.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he whispered to the heavenly soldiers behind him:

"Everyone must be careful, people from the Nether Palace may appear at any time."

Just as he finished speaking, a low roar suddenly came from the black fog ahead.

Immediately afterwards, several dark shadows rushed out from the black fog and headed straight towards the heavenly soldiers.

Sun Wukong sneered and swung his golden cudgel violently. The golden light flashed like a sharp sword and directly repelled the black shadows.

He said coldly:
"How dare you, a mere ghost, act so presumptuously in front of me!"

The heavenly soldiers also quickly formed their battle lines and engaged in a fierce battle with the remnants of the Nether Palace.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the remnants of the Nether Palace were ultimately no match for the magical powers of the heavenly soldiers and were defeated one after another.

Sun Wukong stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes stern and his voice loud:
"Keep moving forward and make sure to completely destroy the Netherworld Palace's stronghold!"

The heavenly soldiers responded in unison:
"As ordered!"

Sun Wukong led everyone to go deeper and destroyed several strongholds of the Netherworld Palace along the way.

As they acted, the negative energy of the underworld gradually dissipated, and the originally depressing atmosphere also eased a lot.

At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly sensed a powerful netherworld force coming from the depths of the underworld.

He frowned, his eyes were sharp:

"This power...it seems that the true core of the Nether Palace is there!"

Sun Wukong led the heavenly soldiers deeper into the depths. The yin energy around them became increasingly dense, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in secret.

He raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the tip of the cudgel glowed with golden light, dispersing the black fog in front of him.

Suddenly, a grand Netherworld Temple main altar appeared in front of them. The altar was filled with extremely yin energy and resentment, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

Sun Wukong frowned and whispered to the heavenly soldiers behind him:

"Arrange the formation and besiege the main altar. There must be no mistakes!"

The heavenly soldiers quickly formed a battle array, forming a solid line of defense and surrounding the main altar.

Sun Wukong flashed and rushed into the main altar first with his golden cudgel in hand.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Sun Wukong felt a powerful energy wave coming from deep within the hall.

His fiery eyes instantly locked onto the front and he glared!
