Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 482

Sun Wukong ignored Nezha's impatience, raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the golden light on the cudgel flowed on the ground, as if it had merged with the earth's energy.

His gaze remained focused, and his voice was deep and calm:
"The source of the earth's vein energy is deep underground. Taking action rashly could lead to uncontrollable consequences. Yang Jian, go and investigate the situation deep within the earth's veins."

Yang Jian nodded, and gently inserted the three-pointed double-edged sword into the ground, the runes on the blade swirling with a wisp of silver light.

His palm rested on the hilt of the sword, and his magical power seeped into the ground along the blade. As the earth's energy flowed, his brows gradually furrowed.

“There is indeed a force deep within the earth’s veins interfering with the flow of energy, and it is becoming increasingly active.”

Yang Jian withdrew his hand, his tone tinged with caution, "This power seems to be consciously guiding the earth's vein energy, directing it to a certain place."

Nezha narrowed his eyes, the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear leaving a scorching trail in the air, reflecting his slightly disdainful expression:

"Since it's so restless, let's go down and see what it's up to."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then swung his golden cudgel with a sudden burst of golden light, striking the ground directly.

With a muffled thud, a narrow crack appeared in the ground, revealing a deep passage below.

The three of them quickly descended through the passage. The surrounding rock walls were covered with dense runes, the light of which flickered in the darkness, as if monitoring their movements.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, and the earth's ley line energy flowed through the channels, carrying an unsettling fluctuation.

"This energy is getting stronger and stronger."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep, his steps slowed, and he slightly raised his golden cudgel, the golden light illuminating the passage ahead.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword swung lightly, the runes on the blade gleaming with a cold light.

His gaze was fixed on the darkness ahead, his palm resting on the blade, sensing the flow of earth energy, his brow furrowed slightly.

"This force seems to be guiding the earth's ley line energy in one direction; we need to speed things up."

Nezha snorted coldly and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear sharply. The flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, rushing straight towards the passage ahead.

The firelight illuminated his slightly impatient expression, and his pace quickened accordingly.
"You guys are so slow, I'm getting impatient."

The three of them quickly descended through the passage and gradually arrived at a space deeper underground.

The surrounding rock walls gradually disappeared, replaced by a huge void. In the center of the void floated a black energy sphere, and the earth's energy was converging from all directions and flowing into the energy sphere.

"There is indeed a problem."

Sun Wukong's gaze was cold and stern. He swung his golden cudgel suddenly, and the golden light from the cudgel struck the energy ball directly.

However, the moment the golden light touched the energy ball, it was instantly bounced back, causing Sun Wukong to stagger backward.

Seeing this, Yang Jian suddenly swung his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade swirling with a silver light as they aimed directly at the energy ball.

The moment the blade collided with the energy ball, the energy ball trembled violently, but remained completely still.

Nezha snorted coldly and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear sharply. The flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, heading straight for the energy ball.

The moment the flames collided with the energy ball, a deafening roar was heard, sparks flew everywhere, and the energy ball swayed slightly, but still maintained its original shape.

"This energy ball is a bit strange."

Sun Wukong steadied himself, raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the golden light on the cudgel slowly flowed.

"It can actually absorb and deflect our attacks."

Yang Jian frowned, his three-pointed, double-edged sword lightly touching the ground before him, the runes on its blade gleaming with a cold light. He gently ran his fingers along the blade and whispered:

"This energy ball not only absorbs the earth's energy, but also continuously releases a certain power, interfering with the earth's energy flow."

Nezha impatiently waved his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at the tip flickering slightly, reflecting his disdainful expression:
"Who cares what it is, let's just blast it open, shall we?"

Sun Wukong shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the energy ball, his tone low:

"We can't act rashly. There seems to be something controlling this energy sphere from within; we need to find the source first."

Yang Jian nodded, and gently inserted the three-pointed double-edged sword into the ground. The runes on the blade gradually lit up, and magical power flowed into the ground along the blade.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing the changes in the earth's veins:
"There is an extremely strong force inside the energy sphere, which seems to be trying to control the core of the earth's veins."

"Then let's just break it open."

Nezha snorted coldly and suddenly swung his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flames at the tip of the spear leaving a scorching trail in the air.

"No, we can't let it continue absorbing the earth's energy."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep, and he suddenly swung his golden cudgel, causing the golden light on the cudgel to surge and strike the energy ball.

With a muffled thud, the energy sphere trembled violently, and the flow of earth vein energy became disordered.

Yang Jian immediately wielded his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade swirling with a silver light as they hurtled towards the energy ball.

The moment the blade collided with the energy ball, the energy ball trembled violently, but remained completely still.

Nezha snorted coldly and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear sharply. The flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, heading straight for the energy ball.

With a loud "boom," the energy ball trembled violently, and the flow of earth vein energy became completely disordered.

The surface of the energy sphere gradually cracked, and the flow of earth vein energy was blocked.

Sun Wukong's gaze was cold and stern. He swung his golden cudgel suddenly, and golden light struck the energy ball directly.

With a muffled thud, the energy sphere trembled violently, and the flow of earth vein energy became completely disordered.

Yang Jian immediately wielded his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade swirling with a silver light as they hurtled towards the energy ball.

The moment the blade collided with the energy ball, the energy ball trembled violently, but remained completely still.

"This thing is even more stubborn than I imagined!"

Sweat beaded on Yang Jian's forehead, and his three-pointed double-edged sword trembled slightly. The vibration from the blade made his hand go numb.

He sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword, the blade still bearing traces of dark brown energy residue that shimmered eerily in the sunlight.

The surrounding ground cracked due to the energy impact, raising a cloud of dust.

Nezha put away his Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flames dancing on the tip of the spear dimmed slightly.

"It seems that brute force alone won't work; we need to think of other methods."

He looked around sharply, searching for a breakthrough.

The air was filled with the smell of burning, the lingering energy residue from the energy disorder.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and a faint golden light shone between his brows.

The power of the Fiery Eyes instantly unfolded, piercing through layers of darkness and penetrating directly into the interior of the energy sphere.

His gaze was sharp, capturing every subtle energy fluctuation, and a hint of solemnity gradually appeared between his brows.

“There’s a small sealing array inside this energy sphere,” he said in a low voice, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately stepped forward, gently placing his three-pointed double-edged sword in front of him, the runes on the blade emitting a wisp of silver light.

His gaze was calm and focused, his fingers gently brushing across the blade, as if sensing the energy flow inside the energy sphere.

"A sealing formation?"

Yang Jian repeated in a low voice, his brows furrowing slightly.

"If it's a sealing formation, then it's likely controlling the flow of energy from the earth's veins. Great Sage, can you pinpoint the core location of this formation?"

Sun Wukong did not answer immediately, but continued to concentrate on his investigation.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of determination in his gaze:
"The core location is at the center of the energy sphere, and the energy flow of the sealing array has been reversed. If we can reverse the energy flow of the sealing array, we can completely destroy it."

Yang Jian nodded, and slightly raised his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade flowing even more rapidly.

His gaze swept across the ground around the energy sphere, his fingers lightly tracing the blade, and he murmured:

"The flow of earth vein energy has been disrupted. We can further weaken the sealing array by changing the direction of the earth vein flow."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the three-pointed double-edged sword, the blade flashing a dazzling silver light, and the runes spread rapidly across the ground, forming a complex array of runes.

As the runes were completed, the flow of ley line energy gradually changed, converging towards the rune array.

Nezha stood to the side, the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear slightly raised, the flames dancing gently in the air.

His gaze was fixed on the energy sphere, and his tone carried a hint of impatience:

"Since you're going to make a move, I'm not waiting any longer!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, rushing straight towards the energy ball.

The moment the flames collided with the energy ball, a low rumble was heard, and the surface of the energy ball trembled slightly, as if its defense had weakened.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel, and the golden light on the cudgel suddenly surged, striking the energy ball directly.

His magic power seeped into the energy sphere along the staff, attempting to further reverse the energy flow of the sealing array.

"Yang Jian, you guide the earth's energy, and I'll reverse the sealing formation!"

Sun Wukong gave a low shout, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Yang Jian nodded, and gently planted the three-pointed double-edged sword into the ground. The runes on the blade gradually lit up, and magical power flowed into the ground along the blade.

His gaze was calm and focused as he spoke in a low voice:

"The flow of earth vein energy has changed, and the power of the sealing array is weakening."

Nezha leaped into the air and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flames at the tip of the spear leaving a scorching trail in the air.

His eyes held a hint of excitement, but his tone carried a trace of disdain:
"A mere energy ball dares to act tough in front of us!"

The moment the flames collided with the energy ball, a deafening roar erupted, and the energy ball's defenses finally collapsed completely.

As the defenses crumbled, the sealing array inside the energy sphere gradually came into view. The patterns of the array shimmered faintly in the darkness, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Sun Wukong's gaze was cold and stern. He slightly raised the golden cudgel in his hand, and the golden light from the cudgel struck the core of the sealing formation.

His magical power surged into the formation like a torrent, completely reversing the energy flow of the sealing formation.

As the sealing array collapsed, the energy sphere trembled violently, and the flow of earth vein energy resumed.

The surrounding rock walls stopped trembling, and the oppressive feeling in the air gradually dissipated.

Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed, double-edged sword, the runes on its blade slowly dissipating. His gaze remained calm, his tone steady:

"The sealing array has been completely destroyed, and the flow of earth vein energy has returned to normal."

Nezha sheathed his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at its tip flickering slightly, reflecting his somewhat disdainful expression:

"So that's all. It seems this energy ball isn't anything special."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, gently retracting his golden cudgel, the golden light on its blade gradually fading. His gaze swept across the surroundings, a hint of ease in his voice:
"This time, the interference with the earth's vein energy has finally been completely resolved."

Yang Jian nodded, and with a gentle swing of his three-pointed double-edged sword, a wisp of silver light flowed from the runes on the blade.

Nezha raised his eyebrows, and his Fire-Tipped Spear drew a scorching trail in the air.

Sun Wukong closed his eyes and focused his mind, once again using his Fiery Eyes to probe the inside of the energy ball, sensing a faint fluctuation emanating from the center of the energy ball.

"Ok?"

He let out a soft "hmm," his brows furrowed slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched. The tip of his golden cudgel gently tapped the ground, producing a crisp sound.

Dust from the surrounding rocks drifted down slowly, highlighting Sun Wukong's focused expression.

Based on the direction of the fluctuations, Yang Jian used his three-pointed double-edged sword to precisely draw a rune on the ground. The rune shone with a silver light, like a silver river meandering across the ground.

His movements were precise and swift; the tip of his blade left almost no mark on the ground, only the gleaming rune that proved his actions.

A faint smell of earth and stone filled the air, and along with the flow of earth vein energy, a slight heat wave followed.

"The flow of the earth's energy veins is slightly off to the south and needs to be adjusted."

Yang Jian's deep voice echoed in the empty cave. Without raising his head, he continued to carve runes on the ground, his movements fluid and seamless.

The rock wall beside him was crisscrossed with cracks from the impact of the energy ball, resembling a giant spider web.

Guided by Yang Jian, Nezha precisely controlled the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear, using point attacks to scorch the surface of the energy ball in an attempt to weaken its defense.

The flame at the tip of the Fire-Tipped Spear flickered, like breathing, precisely striking the weak points of the energy sphere.

The flames were extremely hot, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted. The firelight reflected on his angular face, making him appear even more spirited and youthful.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Nezha's forehead. He tilted his head slightly, watching the energy ball's reaction with a serious look in his eyes.

After sensing the faint fluctuations remaining at the center of the energy ball, Sun Wukong closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. He lightly tapped the ground with his golden cudgel, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

His fingers gently brushed across the stick, his brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to catch the faint flow of energy.

"Deep underground."

He spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately stepped forward, and the blade of his three-pointed double-edged sword lightly touched the ground, producing a crisp "ding" sound.

His gaze was calm and focused, his fingertips lightly tracing the blade, the runes shimmering with a faint silver light under his touch.

"The flow of earth vein energy has been disrupted; we need to correct it."
